Since then, Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen never went to play by the river again, and they never saw Wei Chehong again.
The two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened by the river to Father Wei and Mother Wei, and not to let Father Wei and Mother Wei know that they were rejected by the children in the village, so as not to worry them.
Although the two of them rarely go out to play, the frequency of playing with them has increased, so Wei's father and Wei's mother have never noticed their hidden loneliness.
However, because Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen both go to school, Hua □□ can see them very rarely.
Wei's mother always said that Wei Cheyu was going to school. Because the distance was a bit long, Wei Zhenzhen accompanied her. She did not say that Wei Zhenzhen also went to school together. After all, sending a girl to school was a very strange thing in rural areas, and Wei's mother didn't want to mess with it. There's so much gossip.
However, Hua Xiaomei often visited Wei Zhenzhen's house but could not find her, but she did not reduce the number of visits. Instead, she visited Wei's house whenever she had time.
Unconsciously, two years have passed, and the Wei Sangen family still has a tense relationship with the Wei family. However, no one in the village said anything bad about the Wei Sangen family. After all, the whole family was almost killed by the people in the big house, but they No apology or apology was given.
The fact that Wei Sangen's family didn't get into a clan quarrel was already a great favor to Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei.
The most important thing is that during the holidays, the Wei Sangen family has all the etiquette they should have. Every month, they should pay filial piety to Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei will not be short of money, but she will no longer obediently help the head of the Wei family.
Two years of peaceful life have made Wei Cheyu's mentality gentler. Although the darkness in his heart has not diminished at all, he has learned to bury them deeply.
So his smile when facing outsiders looks more sincere and beautiful.
The past two years of morning exercises and recuperation have also made Wei Cheyu's body stronger and stronger. His originally thin body began to bulge out, becoming much stronger and his height also increased.
As a result, many families with daughters of school age fell in love with Wei Cheyu.
Wei Cheyu's health seems to be fine now. His daughter will not be a widow after she gets married. In addition, Wei's father and mother are easy to get along with. They don't seem to be mean to their daughter-in-law. After all, they treat Wei Zhenzhen. This adopted daughter can be so good. The most important thing is that their family bought some fertile land a year ago. Although it is not much, they still have some property. If their daughter marries, it will not be a burden to her parents' family, and they may even be able to subsidize it.
In addition, Wei Cheyu has been going to school and can be said to be a scholar now. If he gets lucky and gets a good place in the exam, the marriage will be even more profitable.
As a result, more and more people came to chat with Wei's mother and try to find out what she had to say.
Wei's mother didn't say anything, telling the outside world that she would not consider it for the time being and would wait for another two years.
In fact, Wei's mother also has a headache. The older the child is, the harder it is for her to take care of her. "Brother Yu, what do you think? Are you really planning to take the county examination next year?"
She always thought Brother Yu was just playing for fun, but she didn't expect that he was actually going to take the imperial examination. This...
"Are you confident?" Wei's mother was not afraid that Wei Cheyu would not pass the exam. She had no hope that he would pass the exam. She asked him to go to school just to make him happy.
What Wei's mother was afraid of was that if Wei Cheyu failed the exam and was hit, he would be depressed from now on. She had seen too many people who failed to pass the examination and eventually died of depression.
"Mom, I have confidence. Even if I fail the exam, I won't be discouraged. Don't worry." Wei Cheyu knew Wei's mother was worried and couldn't laugh or cry. "Just don't dislike me for wasting family money."
"How could it be wasted? The money my parents earn now will be given to you in the future. You can use it however you want."
Although Wei Cheyu was moved, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. The way his parents raised their children could easily spoil him and turn him into a spendthrift. Fortunately, he was not a real child.
"Mom, you will spoil me rotten."
"How could it be? My brother Yu is kind and upright in nature, and he cannot be spoiled," Wei's mother said from the bottom of her heart, thinking that her son would be good to him. "You don't know how many families are coming to inquire about you. I choose you as my husband."
"Mom, I don't want to marry so early. Let's wait until I pass the Tongsheng test," Wei Cheyu explained.
In fact, Wei Cheyu never planned to get married and have children in his life, but in order not to worry his father and mother Wei, he planned to wait until he became powerful in high school, then without telling his father and mother, he would send someone to buy a willing woman with an innocent background and let her pretend to be her. The wife later pretended to die in childbirth and escaped, and then raised the adopted child as her own.
Wei Cheyu knew that he would never have children of his own in this life because he could not bear to touch women, so this was the best way he could think of to appease and coax his parents.
Rather than letting them worry, it is better to deceive them and let them live their lives happily without knowing anything.
Of course, even after Wei's father and Wei's mother died a hundred years later, he would not cruelly abandon the child when it was no longer useful, but would still raise him as his own.
It's just that he will hide this secret for a lifetime.
"Okay," Wei's mother compromised, "but I'll only give you five years. If you keep failing the exam, you have to help me get married. Otherwise, your parents will be gone and you will have no one to accompany you." manage?"
Isn’t there also Wei Zhenzhen?
Inexplicably, this thought flashed through Wei Cheyu's mind, but he quickly put it away.
"I know, mother." Wei Cheyu replied obediently.
"Okay, mother, go and do your work first. You and Zhen Zhen stay at home, or you can go out to play. Just don't come home too late." Wei's mother held a wooden basin in her hand, got up, and planned to go out to the river to wash clothes.
Wei's mother did not go out with Wei's father today, so Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen did not stay in the house to copy and write, but gathered around Wei's mother to help, even though Wei's mother did not need it.
Wei Zhenzhen also left, "Mom, let me help you."
Wei's mother stopped her: "Zhen Zhen, don't go with me. Just stay at home and play."
Wei Zhenzhen was reluctant and insisted on following: "Mom, let me help you carry it over."
Seeing her adopted daughter be so well-behaved and considerate, Mother Wei suddenly felt heartbroken. She smiled and said, "No, your mother doesn't need your help to carry such few clothes. You can just stay at home or go out to play with Brother Yu. There is no need to help my mother." busy."
Although their family has purchased some farmland, they have hired help on those farmlands, so there is no heavy work to do at home, only some simple housework, such as cleaning the house, washing clothes, cooking and washing dishes, etc.
Mother Wei can do all these housework alone.
There are four members of their family, and Wei's father is not at home all day. Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen are not five or six-year-old children who will make their clothes dirty, let alone children who will make the house a mess and need adults to clean it up. A child who keeps his belongings in an orderly house.
Therefore, Wei's mother lived a very relaxed and leisurely life after the separation, so leisurely that she felt uncomfortable, so she would often go hunting with Wei's father to see if he needed help during the hunting process.
I didn't go hunting with Wei's father today, just to wash some clothes. If Zhen Zhen was asked to help with the washing, she would be too busy.
Wei Zhenzhen still insisted: "Mom, I want to go and help you wash your clothes."
"No, Zhen Zhen, you are still a young girl now, and you will get married in a few years, so you need to take good care of your hands and don't make them rough." Whether it is Brother Yu or Zhen Zhen's marriage, Wei's mother has a headache. , but what makes her happy is that Zhen Zhen is now a little thinner than the previous two years, and she can roughly see the delicate and beautiful outline of the facial features. If she really loses weight, she thinks that the matchmaker who comes to her door will definitely be over the threshold.
If she couldn't lose weight, she would still be attracted by her white and tender skin, so she had to be prepared with both hands.
Wei Zhenzhen: "..."
In the end, Wei Zhenzhen could only watch Wei Mu leave with reluctance. However, just as Wei Mu was carrying a basin of clothes across the threshold and going to the river to wash clothes, she ran into Hua Zhen.
"Aunt Wei, are you going to wash your clothes?" Hua Xiaomei met Wei's mother head-on. She saw what Wei's mother had in her hand and said, "I'll help you get it."
As she said this, she stretched out her hand to take it.
Wei's mother quickly avoided it: "Oh, no, no, no, Aunt Wei can get it herself. Xiaohua, you came here to play with Zhen Zhen, right? She is here, you guys go and have fun."
Only then did Hua Xiaomei see Wei Zhenzhen, who was standing by and seemed indifferent, so she pursed her lips, frowned and criticized: "Zhenzhen, why don't you help your aunt here? This is wrong of you, you are not being good. Child."
Mother Wei didn't notice anything was wrong with Hua Xiaomei's words, and explained with a smile: "Pfft, Xiaohua, you misunderstood. It's just that I didn't let Zhen Zhen help. You are all good children."
Then Mother Wei thought of something and teased: "Oh, we can't talk about children anymore. You are now grown-ups. In a few years, you and Zhen Zhen can start looking for a husband. You won't be young anymore."
Hua Xiaomei suddenly blushed, pretending to glance at Wei Cheyu casually, and then shyly shouted: "Aunt Wei!"
Wei's mother had a smile on her face, "Okay, okay, Auntie won't make fun of you."
After saying that, Wei's mother left, but before leaving, she did not forget to tell her, "Have fun, don't secretly do housework. In a few years, you will get married and have children, and you will have to stay at home to raise your husband and children. It will be a happy and free time." There aren’t many left, so cherish it.”
Wei's mother sincerely hopes that Wei Zhenzhen can have fun and not be so good.
Wei's mother even hoped that Wei Zhenzhen would be more willful.
At first she didn't notice anything wrong with Wei Zhenzhen, she just thought she was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
After a long time, I began to feel that something was wrong. For a child, Zhen Zhen was too well-behaved and caring.
She wondered if Zhen Zhen was worried that they would abandon her, so she didn't dare to be willful, so she was careful to please them.
Thinking of this possibility, Wei's mother couldn't help but feel sore in her nose. She really felt sorry for the child Wei Zhenzhen and treated her as her own daughter, because Wei Zhenzhen really brought too much joy and benefits to their family. Not only did he save the lives of the child's father and her, but he also helped protect Brother Yu.
Mother Wei always felt that Wei Cheyu could grow up well and be so healthy thanks to Wei Zhenzhen's caring care, so she was very grateful to Wei Zhenzhen and hoped that Wei Zhenzhen could be as happy and carefree as other children and not live so cautiously. , so panicked.
only……
Mother Wei looked back at the closed door, listening to the conversation between Brother Yu and Xiaomei Hua inside, and sighed deeply.
