When the morning light first comes, many people get up and go to work.
The servants of wealthy families began to prepare early for the master to wake up, while ordinary people got up earlier to set up stalls, and there were many people washing up and going out.
Butcher Chen is one of the people who gets up early to set up the meat stall. He has two children at home, and his wife still has one in her belly. The eldest son is already working with him and can take over his business at any time. Er Yatou was originally raised at home, taking care of the pig pen with his wife, washing and cooking for the men in the family. Butcher Chen's view of Er Yatou has been different since Zhu Hui experienced treatment in Siye Mansion and then recovered and was taken home.
He saw with his own eyes that the second girl, who used to be introverted and taciturn, became much more energetic after she came back from Siye Mansion. Once, the little pig at home got sick, and even he couldn't find the reason. He didn't know what to do, so he had already made preparations. Plans to isolate and slaughter piglets.
The second girl suddenly stepped forward, observed the little pig's mouth and body, and then said a medicinal material could cure it.
Butcher Chen didn't believe it at first, but then he thought about how his neighbors had heard about the child he had brought back from Si Ye Mansion. The medicine the second girl said was not expensive, so he gave his eldest son money to buy it.
The eldest son bought it and the second girl soaked it in water and fed it to the little pig. The little pig vomited at first, but soon regained its energy and stood up.
Butcher Chen's family was shocked. He asked the second girl how she did it.
The second girl shook her head: "I just know."
Butcher Chen's wife was overjoyed, "God's blessing, this is God's blessing! After all, our Erya was once a fairy boy."
With the facts before their eyes, Butcher Chen and Chen Dazi had no choice but to believe it.
Not long after that, Butcher Chen noticed another change in the second girl. Her strength was comparable to that of Chen Dazi, who was five years older than her.
The bone-chopping knife held by Chen Erya chopped up the pork bones, and Chen Dazi's work was completed with a crackle.
These changes made Butcher Chen and his wife surprised and happy. Chen Dazi was also extremely envious and murmured: "This is a blessing in disguise. I was also bitten. I almost lost half my life, but Erya has such a blessing." Report."
His mother slapped him on the head, "You are almost old enough to marry a wife, and you still care about this with your sister!"
Chen Dazi covered his head and said, "I'm not arguing with Erya, I'm just envious. What's wrong with being envious?"
Because of these changes in Chen Erya, Butcher Chen's family has a different view of her. In the past, they thought of keeping her at home to work, and marrying her off to a good match in the future would be the best arrangement. Now there are greater expectations.
Later, Siye Mansion opened a night tour class, and Chen Erya took the initiative to say that she wanted to go to school. Butcher Chen agreed without thinking about it for long. Chen Dazi felt envious for a while and couldn't help but said, "Dad, I want to go too."
Butcher Chen said: "How old are you? Wherever you go? It's for the enlightenment of your children."
Chen Dazi said: "I'm not that old either."
His mother said, "Are you ashamed?"
Chen Dazi was very depressed and buried his head in cooking.
The next day, Chen Erya was sent to the night tour class smoothly. Children who had received treatment in Siye Mansion would be given preferential treatment by Siye Mansion.
Chen Erya, who returned from a night tour class, brought another surprise to Butcher Chen's family.
Chen Erya said: "Siyefu is looking for a medicine boy, and I passed the exam. I go to work in the Siyefu medicine field during the day and I can get paid every day, and two meals are included."
Aunt Chen asked in surprise: "How much is a day's wages?"
Chen Erya said a number, which shocked Butcher Chen's family again.
Butcher Chen said, "This is even comparable to half of what I earn from selling pork in a day!"
Aunt Chen said: "They also include food and drinks. If you stay in Siye Mansion for one day, you can only get money for the whole day and don't have to spend anything!"
Beside him, Mr. Chen looked lonely.
Chen Erya looked at him and said, "Brother can also apply for the night class."
Chen Dazi suddenly raised his head.
Butcher Chen and Aunt Chen were surprised.
Chen Erya said: "I saw that there are people older than my brother in the night tour class. Even the night tour master goes to the night tour class every night to learn Chinese characters."
Disaster
Chen Erya said so much, "I asked Xiaoyun, and she said that as long as you pass the application, you can go to school no matter how old you are. I also saw the white-haired grandpa after school, and they said he was from the government school. Master Hu."
The more Chen Dazi listened, the more excited he became. He looked at his sister gratefully, and then looked at Butcher Chen eagerly.
Butcher Chen looked hesitant.
Chen Dazi argued: "The night tour class starts every evening, so it won't delay the day's work."
Butcher Chen said, "You have to prepare for the day at night. You also go to school. It's hard to leave your mother alone at home."
Chen Dazi's excited expression dimmed.
At this time, Aunt Chen said, "Let me go, I don't have anything to do."
Chen Erya then said, "I can make money for my family and let my brother go to school."
Chen Dazi looked at his sister with emotion, and then at Butcher Chen.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Butcher Chen nodded.
In exchange, the eldest son smiled brightly and was overjoyed.
From this day on, Butcher Chen's life at home was not disrupted by the change of pace, but became more relaxed.
Whether it was the second daughter or the eldest son, smiles could often be seen on their faces. In the past, the relationship between the brother and sister could not be said to be bad, but they were not very close either. Nowadays, when I go home from school with my younger sister, my elder brother always takes care of my younger sister, and my younger sister also trusts her brother very much.
When they returned home, they would always tell their parents about the interesting things and surprises they encountered in the night tour class. Mr. Chen and his wife were also fascinated by what they heard. Mrs. Chen touched her round belly with a smile on her face, even the worry in the corners of her eyes. The lines are gone.
At night, Mrs. Chen laughed without warning before going to bed. Butcher Chen, who was getting ready to go to bed, asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Aunt Chen sat up, looking so excited that she looked like she was going to talk all night long, and said to Butcher Chen, "Do you think our children are becoming more and more like the young ladies from wealthy families when they talk and behave?"
Butcher Chen was confused: "What nonsense are you thinking about?"
Aunt Chen glared at him, rubbed her belly and said, "We are all rough people. We have spent most of our lives raising pigs, killing pigs, and selling pigs, and we are all smelling of dirt and oil. Life is not hard to say, and we are not much rich. Originally, the eldest son and the second son were This is how I will live from now on..."
Butcher Chen was in a daze for a moment, and gradually understood the meaning of his wife's words.
Aunt Chen said: "We are uneducated, but now the eldest son and Erya are different. I found out that the young men from wealthy families in the city are also studying in the night class. Our eldest son and Erya can learn the same knowledge as them. Ah! This is something I never dared to think about before. Erya also gave me her daily wages, so I saved up for her dowry. It will definitely be enough after a few years."
"Because Erya is capable, I have enough money to make clothes for San'er in advance. When San'er comes out, I will definitely go to Siye's Mansion to pay my respects. No, I will go to Siye's Mansion tomorrow to pray for San'er's blessings. "
Butcher Chen became more and more excited as his wife talked. At this moment, he came back to his senses and said in astonishment: "What are you asking for blessings? Si Ye Mansion is a place to punish evil and eliminate filth, not to burn incense and worship Buddha."
"So what, our Aunt Shi in the next room went to Si Ye Mansion yesterday with eggs to pray for blessings." Aunt Chen said matter-of-factly: "Burning incense and praying to Buddha doesn't work for Si Ye Mansion, so I'll just go and pray outside the gate."
Butcher Chen: "..."
The next day, Aunt Chen kept her promise and went to Si Ye Mansion with Chen Erya early in the morning, carrying the basket weaving.
Chen Erya worked part-time as a medicine boy in Siye Mansion and was put into the house. Aunt Chen handed the basket to the disciple guarding the gate, but the other party refused to accept it.
Aunt Chen sent several kind words to Si Yefu, but they were still not accepted by the gatekeepers. Later, she pushed the basket into Chen Erya's hand, called her daughter to hurry in, and then turned around and ran away.
The disciples of Si Ye Mansion were stunned and speechless for a while.
After doing this, Aunt Chen found a cool place, facing the direction of Siye Mansion and praying silently.
While she was doing this with her eyes closed, she suddenly heard an exclamation. When she opened her eyes, she saw thousands of glowing lights above Si Ye Mansion.
Aunt Chen was shocked.
The people around her rushed forward. Aunt Chen came to her senses and wanted to move forward, but realized that her stomach did not move in the end.
she does not know
What happened at the front? The people made a noise first and then became quiet, as if they were frightened by something.
One of the most divinely beautiful flowers she had ever seen fell on her and disappeared.
"..."
At that moment, Aunt Chen could not describe her feelings, but her eyes filled with tears.
She stood outside Siye Mansion for most of the day, until Butcher Chen and Chen Dazi returned home at sunset and did not see their wife or mother at home. They hurried to Siye Mansion to find someone to bring her back.
Back home, Aunt Chen told her husband and son about the miracle. In fact, they had heard people talk about it on the way to Si Ye Mansion. Unfortunately, the miracle had ended when they went, but they did not expect that their wife (mother) Good luck is blessed by miracles.
Later, Chen Dazi went to the night tour class again. After returning with Chen Erya at night, Chen Butcher found that both his son and daughter were in a state of trance.
When she fell asleep, Mrs. Chen did not talk about Siye Mansion as excitedly as she did the night before. She only said to Butcher Chen, "I will go to Siye Mansion tomorrow to have a look."
Butcher Chen felt something was different about An Jing's wife. She trusted Si Yefu more than yesterday.
"Let me go with you tomorrow."
He wanted to accompany him, but someone had to watch the meat stall.
However, in order to sell out the meat as soon as possible and close the stall, Butcher Chen got up earlier than usual.
Unexpectedly, his wife and children were also with him, and the family went out without breakfast.
As soon as the morning light came, the stalls were already set up.
Butcher Chen turned to his eldest son and said, "Take good care of your mother and San'er..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence and looked in the direction of Si Yefu for a few seconds. After regaining consciousness, he raised his neck uncertainly and looked into the distance.
"Zakaya?"
Plop.
He saw his wife kneeling on the ground.
Chen Erya shouted: "Dad, dad, it's a miracle, it was like this yesterday!"
Chen Dazi suddenly ran in the direction of Si Yefu, forgetting to put down the bone chopping knife in his hand.
"Dad!" Butcher Chen took a step slower and shouted, "Put down the knife!"
Mr. Chen has already run away.
Not only Chen Dazi, but more and more people around him started to move when they saw the auspicious clouds and glow.
When the wealthy and powerful people heard the news, the gentlemen who had been getting up slowly did not even bother to wash themselves, and hurriedly put on their shoes, "Quick, quick, prepare your horses, prepare your horses!"
