Han Hongye choked on his words for a moment, and he held it back for a long time: "We only have a son, Brother Yu. No matter how difficult it is, I will have to get my parents to agree."
Xiao Shuirong didn't say whether it was good or not, he just said curiously: "Doctor Guan's medicine is really effective. With just a little effort, Brother Yu's face looks much better."
The skin color is still sallow, but it is not as gray as before, and it will break if touched.
Han Hongye scratched his head: "I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can find bird eggs."
Taipingfu is located neither south nor north of Vietnam. If you are lucky in winter, you can also find a few eggs in the bird's nest.
The eggs at home are all reserved for the third child and his twins. Even if there are extra eggs, they will be given to Han Zhilan, not the children in the second bedroom.
Brother Yu has never had good food since he was born. He is shorter than Sister Zhi, thin and yellow, and cannot walk very steadily.
Although children in every family are like this these days, who wants to compare the children of the Han family with three bedrooms?
Comparing the two, Brother Yu looks like he just came back from the famine years.
Obviously, the living conditions of the Han family are at the upper level in Taohua Village.
Xiao Shuirong added: "Brother Yu was still at home when I went out to hunt pigweed in the afternoon. He doesn't run around on weekdays, let alone run into the mountains. What do you think is going on?"
It was also her fault that Qi Dani asked her to make dinner when she came back from hunting pigweed, and she didn't even notice whether Brother Yu was at home.
Han Hongye was silent for a moment: "I'll ask Sister Zhi later."
Xiao Shuirong said yes, but felt uncertain in her heart.
Sister Zhi, she still doesn't know. With the same temperament as Huang Xiulan, she probably won't be able to ask questions.
But she didn't hit Han Hongye, she just ordered: "I'll go cook, you watch Brother Yu."
Han Hongye responded repeatedly, moved a stool and sat by the kang, staring at Han Yu intently.
The little white flowers are still emitting white light and are being treated conscientiously.
Under the gaze of the strange two-legged beast, it shook the leaves slightly as if to say hello.
...
In the main room next door, after Doctor Guan left, Han Fa sent away the boss, his wife and Huang Xiulan, and closed the door behind him.
He didn't say anything, just stood in front of Qi Dani, looking at her condescendingly.
Qi Dani's body huddled under the quilt shook like a sieve, and she said stumblingly: "He, his father, listen, listen to me..."
Han Fa didn't give her a chance to speak. He rounded his arms and slapped her.
Qi Dani's face was distorted by the slap, and as soon as the scream escaped from her throat, Han Fa forcibly stopped her: "Shut up!"
Qi Dani shrank, covering her mouth and her teeth were trembling.
Han Fa shook off the painful palm and said expressionlessly: "If you continue to make trouble, if it affects the third son's imperial examination and prevents him from passing the scholar examination, I will kill you!"
These words sounded light and airy, but Qi Dani knew that what Han Fa said was true.
He didn't dare to cover the stinging place anymore, and his obedient look was completely different from before: "I understand."
Han Fa turned around and walked out, sitting in the main room and continuing to smoke cigarettes.
-
Qi Dani hid in the main room for nearly two-quarters of an hour, making sure that the slap marks were gone, and then cleaning up the scratches on her face and bald scalp before she crept out.
As night falls, the temperature plummets.
Passing by the main room, Qi Dani saw Han Fa sitting in the dark smoking a cigarette. She shivered and climbed into the kitchen without moving.
Xiao Shuirong was busy on the stove. There were vegetables stewed in two pots, and she had to wash and chop vegetables. She was quite busy.
Miao Cuiyun would add firewood to the stove pond from time to time and fiddle with it twice with a fire fork.
Tonight Lao San and Brother Song will come back, and the old lady asked them to cook more dishes, and don’t be stingy with the oil.
Mainly for the third child, Brother Song just happened by the way.
Qi Dani's triangular eyes rolled over the two daughters-in-law, then she walked towards the stove with her buttocks twisted.
He opened the lid and tasted it. It was the taste that Lao San liked.
Qi Dani was reluctantly satisfied, and turned her sharp eyes back: "You didn't eat secretly, did you?"
Miao Cuiyun stared at the kitchen pond and shook her head, indicating that she didn't eat anything secretly.
Xiao Shuirong was too lazy to answer her: "No."
Qi Dani lost her fortune and was slapped by Han Fa again. She was unhappy and immediately said, "Xiao Shuirong!"
Xiao Shuirong didn't know that her mother-in-law had been taught a lesson by her father-in-law, so she chopping vegetables with a knife: "Mom, please go out first. I haven't finished this dish yet. Third brother and Brother Song will be back soon."
"Hurry up!" Qi Dani put down the lid of the pot, "The third child wants to be the number one scholar, unlike the idlers like the eldest and second child, who know how to make me angry all day long..."
The two sisters had long been accustomed to Qi Dani stepping on her, and their eyes did not change as they continued their work.
Qi Dani was asking for trouble and walked out chattering: "It's all Brother Yu's fault, if it weren't for him..."
Xiao Shuirong pursed her lips tightly and raised her head to meet Miao Cuiyun's worried eyes.
She smiled, poured the vegetables into the pot, and stir-fried them in hot oil.
After working for another quarter of an hour, I finally made dinner.
The two sisters carried the bowls to the main room and bumped into Huang Xiulan coming out of the east room.
Huang Xiulan held her twin sons, and Han Zhilan followed behind. The four of them chirped with contented expressions on their faces.
The two parties collided head-on, and Huang Xiulan's smile faltered.
"Creak——"
The wooden door opened in response, and the first person who walked in was a man with a slender figure, a fair complexion and a delicate face.
He was wearing a moon-white robe and carrying a baggage on his shoulders. The first impression he gave people was that of a gentle and elegant young man, who was incompatible with the aging Han family courtyard.
"Mom, I'm back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Dani came out of the main room and pulled her into the house: "My son, you are back. I miss you so much! It's cold outside. Come in quickly. Did the mistress freeze on the way?"
"The meal has just been prepared and it's still warm. It's just a good time to warm up after eating it."
Han Hongqing smiled slightly: "It seems that I came back at the right time."
Noticing the injuries on Qi Dani's face, he looked worried: "What's wrong with Mom?"
Qi Dani began to curse again, telling her grievances.
She originally thought that Han Hongqing would seek justice for her, but unexpectedly he just said: "Mom, please be careful next time, my son will feel bad for her."
Qi Dani's empty words coaxed her from ear to ear, and she couldn't remember her rivals.
Passing by the three sisters-in-law, Han Hongqing nodded and focused on Huang Xiulan.
Huang Xiulan's eyes were glued to Han Hongqing since he walked in. She looked even more shy at this moment, which made Miao Cuiyun's eyes twitch.
She is the mother of three children and she is still so shameless!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone entering the door. Xiao Shuirong took the bowl from his sister-in-law's hand and said, "Leave this to me. Sister-in-law, go and help Brother Song."
Miao Cuiyun smiled gratefully and hurried to meet Brother Song: "Give me the book box, mother. Are you tired from carrying it all the way?"
Han Song straightened his washed white robe, and his indifferent expression warmed up after seeing his mother: "It's okay, mother, let's go in."
Miao Cuiyun exclaimed and returned to the west room with Han Song.
The Han family's courtyard has six rooms, the main room, the east and west rooms, the kitchen room and a utility room.
Hanfa Qi Dani lived in the main house, while the bright east room was occupied by the third room.
The west room originally had only one room. After Han Hongye got married, Han Fa built a wall in the middle and opened a door to separate it into two rooms.
As a result, two people lived in the west house, which was as big as the east house. It was cramped and narrow.
Miao Cuiyun wanted to mention the second wife's matter to Han Song, but she heard Qi Dani shouting outside: "Where have all the people died? If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"
She swallowed the words that came to her lips and Miao Cuiyun untied her clothes: "Let's go and eat."
The mother and son entered the main room. Han Fa and Qi Dani were already sitting at the main table. On the right were Han Hongqing and the twins, and on the left were Han Honghao and the eldest grandchild, Han Shu.
Looking at the next page, there was no one where Han Hongye and Han Yu should have been.
When Miao Cuiyun and the women at home sat down at the table next to them, Han Fa first picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food, and then the others moved their chopsticks.
Han Song asked in a low voice: "Where is the second uncle?"
Han Shu buried his head in the rice, not looking at the meat slices that were put into the third uncle's bowl by his milk: "Brother Yu is injured, and the second uncle and aunt are guarding him in the house."
The hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Han Song narrowed his eyes slightly.
Brother Yu is injured...
If he remembered correctly, Han Yu was injured this time because he ran to play in the mountains and accidentally fell from the hillside and injured his head.
He also asked Han Yu why he ran to the mountains, but was caught and scolded by his grandmother.
Then, the relationship between the two brothers suddenly turned bad. He was constantly targeted by Brother Yu, so how could he still remember what happened today.
However, it seems that there was no such thing as a dead wild boar in the previous life?
But even if he were reincarnated, he would not be able to hold any grudge against Han Yu.
None of the above has anything to do with him.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Han Song's mind without showing any signs of it on his face. He answered Han Fa's questions solemnly and elaborated on his studies in the private school.
...
After eating, Xiao Shuirong and Miao Cuiyun washed the dishes, while Han Hongye and Han Honghao went outside to chop firewood.
As for the third bedroom, in Qi Dani's words, the third child is tired enough from studying, so the menial work can only be left to the eldest brother and the second child.
A family of more than a dozen people have been busy inside and outside the house for a while, and Han Lanying in the big room has already boiled two pots of hot water.
They scooped some hot water into the basin, mixed it with cold water, and went back to the house to wash up.
After Xiao Shuirong took her three daughters to wash up behind the curtain, it was Han Hongye's turn.
The mother and daughter kicked off their shoes and got on the kang cross-legged.
"Brother Yu's face is much rosier than before the meal." The boss, Han Lanling, said with a sigh of relief.
The second child, Han Lanyue, and the third child, Han Lanyun, nodded. Han Lanyue said crisply: "When it snows, we can take Brother Yu to play together!"
Han Lanyun held her chin: "Sister Xiufang taught me a poem today, learning without thinking is useless, thinking and... thinking and..."
Han Lanyun scratched her head and scratched her head, racking her brains but couldn't think of the second half of the sentence.
Han Yu was half asleep and half awake. He happened to hear this sentence and loudly answered it in his heart: "Thinking without learning will lead to peril!"
He memorized the entire Analects of Confucius by heart!
But this illusion is too real.
Warm and beautiful, it makes people want to sink in.
In order to trap him, the zombie really took great pains.
Xiao Shuirong looked at her daughters who were thin but could not hide their beauty quietly, with gentle eyes, picked up the embroidery cloth and continued to embroider the handkerchief.
This is a job she takes on privately, and she can earn a few bucks a year, which can supplement her family's income. Occasionally, she can bring some food back from the town for her children to taste.
The embroidery needle was drawn twice in the hair, and the needle was rubbed neatly into one spot.
Just after two stitches, Han Yu suddenly twitched.
He clutched his neck tightly, his whole body convulsed, large beads of sweat fell from his forehead, his face was flushed, and his breathing was rapid.
"don't want!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Save me woo woo..."
The hoarse, crying voice made people's hearts tremble. Han Hongye raised his trousers and emerged from behind the curtain: "Brother Yu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Shuirong's eyes turned red: "I don't know, it's just like this."
Han Lanling tried to pull Han Yu's hand off his neck, but she couldn't pull it and didn't dare to use force: "What should parents do?"
Han Hongye also tried it, but found that he couldn't pull it open at all. His face turned pale with fright: "Brother Yu, I'm afraid I'm having a nightmare. I'll go find Dr. Guan."
After saying that, I put on my coat and went out with a gust of wind.
Xiao Shuirong held Han Yu in her arms and gently stroked his back: "Brother Yu, don't be afraid, mother is here."
One voice after another successfully calmed the restless Han Yu.
The hand on his neck slowly loosened, and Han Yu fell softly onto Xiao Shuirong, breathing heavily.
Xiao Shuirong wiped away her tears. She didn't know what kind of nightmare Brother Yu had had that made her afraid like this.
...
Han Yu was thinking about how to break through the illusion when he suddenly fell into a nightmare comparable to a zombie siege.
It's impossible to break free, and it's carved into my bones.
This time it was not a piece of writing, but rather, he did many bad things as a control group, and finally ended up in jail and was escorted to the execution platform by officers and soldiers.
The executioner raised his knife and cut off his head with a "click".
The head fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground, covered with mud and dust.
The blood spurted out, and the sharp pain in his neck was like a tarsal maggot, clinging to his heart.
No matter how powerful Han Yu is, no matter how much he is called a "little monster" by the superpower users in the base, he is actually only five years old.
Han Yu had never felt pain due to body modification, so when the severe pain hit, he couldn't help but cover his neck and scream out.
The next moment, he fell into a warm embrace.
Like rain falling from the sky, the gentle voice soothed all his uneasiness and fear.
It's like... the feeling of an artificial womb again.
The pain comes hard and goes away quickly.
Han Yu felt the rhythmic beating on his back and fell into coma again.
This is an illusion, everything is fake.
Whether it is the imperial examination control group or the one before and after, they are completely different, but the same warm embrace.
Han Yu thought this a second before falling into darkness.
After all, he is just an unpleasant little monster. Who would like him?
The little white flower in the palm sensed the owner's negative emotions, shook its withered petals, and once again worked hard to release the shining white light.
...
The second roommate screamed and called for a doctor, which had already alerted the rest of the Han family.
Qi Dani was sitting on the kang, mending her clothes, and said in a high voice: "You little brat who wants to die, don't you know that the third child has a hard time traveling, do you want to rest early?"
"Anyone who sees Tian'er will know that there is something wrong. It's better to just die and let the whole thing be over!"
Speaking of this, Qi Dani shook her head again: "No, this is far from enough. It's still early. Where is this?"
Forget it, just keep it for a while.
Han Fa was lying on the kang, expressionless and silent, as if it was not his grandson who was in critical condition, but some unrelated stranger.
In the east room, Han Hongqing was startled by Han Yu's call: "What's going on?"
Huang Xiulan explained the reason to him and curled her lips and said: "Brother Yu is just careless, why don't you just get gored to death by the wild boar?"
As soon as Brother Yu died, the second wife was left alone, and she could only rely on her nephew to throw pots.
In this way, the third-bedroom apartment can also reap a lot of benefits.
At least everything in the second bedroom has gone to the third bedroom.
Regardless of money or goods, no one has too much.
Han Hongqing shook his head: "Brother Yu is almost four years old. If you still don't know what's important, it will bring trouble to the family."
Huang Xiulan couldn't deny it and helped the twins to sleep.
Han Hongqing sat against the wall, holding a book high in his hand.
"Spring and Autumn" is written on the cover, but when you turn the page inside, it is filled with obscene words and slang.
In the main room in the west room, Han Honghao told Han Song what happened in the evening and sighed: "I think the second brother is really cold-hearted this time."
Miao Cuiyun chuckled: "Who said it wasn't... what kind of sound?"
The couple looked at each other, and Han Honghao hesitated and said, "It looks like someone from the second child's room."
Miao Cuiyun immediately put on her clothes and got off the kang: "I'm afraid Brother Yu is in trouble, let's go and have a look."
Before going out, he said to Han Shu and others: "Don't go out. We have to go to the village to kill pigs tomorrow morning. It will be tiring to divide the meat."
Miao Cuiyun said so, and Han Shu and Han Song didn't force it, so they lay back down again.
Han Song listened to Han Shu's ramble and turned the pages of the book.
The dim candlelight flickered, reflecting his indifferent eyes.
