His parents and names are Wang Qihu, Wang Qibao, and Wang Qishi respectively. The three brothers are all thick and muscular, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Chinese character faces, and plain and honest appearance.
Wang Gouer's stepmother is Wang Xiangshi, who is also thick-bodied, thick-browed, and big-eyed. If she weren't wearing women's clothes, you would have thought she was a man.
What is very incongruous with their appearance is that the clothes of the four people are relatively tattered, and their clothes have a lot of patches.
When the four of them saw their mother and Zhao Ping, they bowed and saluted together: "Greetings to the mistress and greetings to the young man."
Mother smiled slightly, waved her sleeves gently with the support of Cuizhu, and then said gently: "There is no need to be polite. Since we are disciple Ping'er's parents and elders, we are also a family."
Wang Qihu had a dull personality. He straightened his clothes, rubbed his hands, and stuttered with embarrassment: "Mother, young man, then, that, then, how can it be done? How can it be done?"
Just as my mother was about to speak, Wang Xiangshi came over and bowed to her mother and Zhao Ping Wanfu respectively and said: "Greetings to the mistress and greetings to the young man. Since you are working for the master's family, the courtesy of master and servant is indispensable."
My mother stepped aside and held her hands up, then returned the gift and said calmly: "Ping'er said, one day is a teacher, and the whole day is a father. Since the master and apprentice are determined, then we are a family. We can't say that we are a family. Words from two families.”
The four of them couldn't help but smile angrily on their faces, and together they paid their respects to their mother as an elder: "Thank you, aunt, for your kindness. I have met the master. The Wang family has reached a high level here."
After the four members of the Wang family left with Zhao Jie, Zhao Ping turned to Wang Gouer and asked, "How many younger siblings do you have? How old are your younger siblings?"
Wang Gouer also looked at the retreating figures of his parents, then looked back at Zhao Ping and said: "Master, I have four younger brothers and two younger sisters. The oldest brother is ten years old, followed by a younger sister who is nine years old, and then One brother is seven and five years old, one sister is three years old, and the last brother is one year old. I heard that my mother is pregnant again."
While her mother and Zhao Ping were dumbfounded, Wang Gouer scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Is it true or false that my mother was also unwell during pregnancy?"
Maybe Wang Gouer felt embarrassed that his parents had given birth to so many younger siblings.
Zhao Ping frowned and asked, "Since your mother is pregnant, why do you still have to work? Aren't you afraid of miscarriage?"
Wang Gouer looked at Zhao Ping's mother and Zhao Ping in embarrassment and said reluctantly: "Weng Weng and my mother-in-law also persuaded my mother, but my mother said that if she doesn't work, how can she support the family?"
Having said this, Wang Gouer looked at Zhao Ping cautiously and said worriedly: "Master, if the disciple tells you about his mother's pregnancy, the master will not fire him. After the father finds out, the disciple will be beaten severely. Father. I never use my mouth to educate my disciples, I always use fists, feet or sticks."
After saying that, he looked at the direction where his father disappeared with fear in his eyes.
Zhao Ping kicked Wang Gou'er, and when he saw his injured body hanging by his arms, he pulled back his feet and said: "You think so badly of Master, you deserve to be beaten. By the way, why are your younger siblings? Not bringing it?"
Wang Gouer was even more embarrassed and scratched his head and said: "Master, I also want to bring them here, but they only have three sets of clothes in total, how can they go out? The clothes on my parents and uncle are already the best in the family. "
The mother couldn't help but cover her mouth. Zhao Ping pointed at Wang Gou'er's lowered head and said, "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier? Zhao Yilang, Erlang, Zhao Yiniang, Erlang, and Lan'er, Cuizhu, send you and me those who don’t need clothes first, and follow me to send clothes and some snacks. Since we are going to your junior brother’s door, let’s see if you can go empty-handed?”
Everyone made a promise and then went to look for gifts.
Zhao Ping held Miss Xia in his arms, followed by Lan'er, Cuizhu holding the first and second mothers, Wang Gou'er, Zhao Yilang and Erlang waiting on the bus carrying food, clothing, snacks and the like.
After crossing the river, about a mile away is the flower house.
The scenery around it is unique. There are green bamboos on one side, Nan bamboos on the other side, and Guanyin bamboos on the other side. All the rows in front are yellow barrel orchid trees. In summer, the fragrance spreads around the Zhuangzi. In addition, the three-foot-high wall around the Zhuangzi is also The colorful peonies are painted, and it really deserves the reputation of a flower house.
But Wang Gouer’s family is not in the flower house!
And it’s the opposite of a flower house!
It is a low thatched house.
The entire thatched house is surrounded by green bamboo on three sides. There is a flat dam in front of the door, which is paved with neat and square stone slabs, which is used for drying millet.
There are five thatched houses in total, three of which are in front and one on each side, surrounding the dam in the middle.
A poor dog is also thin!
There is a skinny and listless yellow dog in Bazi!
Zhao Ping threw away several steamed buns. The yellow dog sniffed them, then took them in his mouth to enjoy their deliciousness.
Wang Gou'er happily shouted to the thatched house on the far left: "Weng Weng, mother-in-law, my master and the others are here to see you."
Two feeble voices came from the room: "Little man, thank you so much. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I'm sorry that I'm not in good health and can't get up to greet you."
The room was a little dark, with a faint light coming in from a one-foot-square window.
It is said to be a window. In fact, a hole is made in the fence wall, and a wooden frame is installed around the hole. Several vertical wooden bars are installed on the wooden frame to prevent thieves from entering through this hole.
This hole can neither block wind nor rain, its only function is to let in light.
The floor of the house is made of dirt, which is uneven. It is obviously very humid here when it rains, so we can only use wood ash to absorb it.
Living here for a long time is obviously prone to rheumatism. Due to poor ventilation, the whole house had an unexplainable smell.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but frown when he saw this, thinking of a way to solve this problem.
However, when Zhao Ping and others just entered the door, they saw a woman in shorts, brown pants, about fifty years old, with gray hair, struggling to get up from the bed against the wall. Another elderly man of similar age could only turn his head. Come, keep saying thank you to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping hurriedly stepped forward and covered them with countless patches of quilts, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, aunt, we are here to visit you. Please take good care of yourself. No need to be polite."
Zhao Ping brought them two jars of medicinal wine and two bags of rice.
Strictly speaking, these two elderly people are not sick, but are caused by a severe lack of nutrition and extreme physical weakness caused by eating Guanyin rice (yellow mud) to satisfy their hunger.
The two old people obviously look older in appearance, but in fact they are only fifty or even forty years old, because it was normal for ancient people to marry as early as fifteen years old. As long as they strengthen nutrition through diet and eliminate the Guanyin rice (yellow mud) from the body, they can restore their former health.
Zhao Ping asked Cuizhu, Lan'er, Zhao Yiniang, and Erniang to wait in the main room. When they came to another room, they couldn't help being surprised, thinking how could this happen?
It turned out that there were many children in another room without clothes!
An eight-year-old child and two little girls were seen wearing almost naked tattered clothes. The other four boys were not even wearing any clothes.
Seeing the four people coming in neatly and beautifully, the three boys and the little sister hid under the quilt in shame, and hurriedly covered their bad parts with the quilt. Only the little sister who was carrying the naked little brother on her back had no time to hide in her sleeves. Inside, he just lowered his head and hummed children's songs to take care of his sleepy little brother.
Embarrassed, Wang Gouer, Zhao Yilang and Erlang immediately gave them the clothes and said: "Brothers and sisters, come and take a look. These are the best clothes given to you by your brothers and sisters. Put them on quickly and dress up to give you clothes. Brother Sister, watch."
"Wow", as soon as they heard that there were good clothes to wear, the boys and girls lying on the bed lifted the quilt together, grabbed the clothes and started changing. The two sisters, one big and one small, also grabbed the clothes and went to the next room to change. went.
However, when they changed their clothes and came outside, Zhao Ping found that although they had changed their clothes, their faces still looked dirty. Some had mud on their faces, some had runny noses, and some smelled bad. Apparently it hasn't been washed for a long time.
Zhao Ping did not dislike it and gave each person a silver dime. Except for the little boy who was only over one year old, the others held the silver dime tightly in their hands and looked grateful in their eyes.
Wang Gou'er coughed hurriedly and shouted loudly: "Why don't you thank my master yet."
Several younger brothers and sisters responded together: "Thank you, Master."
Zhao Ping did not seem to notice the problem with their conversation, and said: "You should keep it well and don't lose it. You can buy a lot of food and clothing with this." Wang Gouer was overjoyed when he saw this, pointed at his brothers and sisters and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters Everyone kneel down and kowtow to Master."
The two older ones had already knelt down and kowtowed. The others who didn't kowtowed were kicked by Wang Gou'er in the crook of their feet. They knelt down and knelt down together to imitate the kowtows of the two older sisters and brothers.
It turned out that Wang Gou'er gave it a try, but he didn't expect that Master would be "fooled". He shouted happily: "Call Master quickly, Master."
Several brothers and sisters kowtowed together and shouted: "Master, Master."
Zhao Ping was overjoyed. It was not easy to meet these good talents and good qualities. Looking at their parents' physiques, these people's physiques were definitely not bad. Zhao Ping said happily, pointed at Cuizhu and Zhao Yilang and said: "Hurry up and meet your senior sister and senior brother."
Cuizhu and Zhao Yilang all have gifts, some are snacks and some are toys.
Cuizhu and Lan'er covered their noses and kept fanning themselves with their hands. They said to Wang Gou'er, "It turns out to be the same as you. I haven't taken a bath for a long time."
Wang Gou'er scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You can't blame your parents for this, they are too busy. Niu'er, Yu'er, take the bath with your brothers and sisters quickly."
His second brother and third sister immediately agreed, but were too embarrassed to take the younger brother and sister to take a bath.
When Zhao Ping heard this, he immediately became happy. Not only were the names of Wang Gouer's parents and elders related to animals, but their generation was also related to animals. One was a cow and the other was a fish. Lan'er clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Junior brother, your family has cows and fish, but also cats, horses, donkeys, and rats?"
