"Dad, did grandma agree to let Brother Yu study?"
Han Lanling was the first to wash up. After getting on the bed, she took the socks from Xiao Shuirong's hand and asked while mending them.
She knew that grandma was partial to her third uncle's family, and she also knew how much effort it took for her aunt to get her grandma to agree to her second brother's studies.
She was worried that her father would be ostracized and beaten in front of her grandparents just like in the past, only reporting good things but not bad things, and swallowing her grievances.
Han Hongye's rough voice contained endless reverie: "If more people study, our family will have more promising people in the future. Why don't you agree?"
No matter how dissatisfied he was, in order to prevent him from making Qi Dani's incident known to everyone and affecting the third child's imperial examination, he could only accept it with pinched noses.
Yes, Han Hongye used Han Hongqing to threaten Han Fa and Qi Dani.
Don’t agree?
Then he would report the matter to the Yamen and ask the county magistrate to take action.
The two sides confronted each other in court to argue who was right and who was wrong.
"I'm just a rough guy, it doesn't matter if I get slapped, but what about the third child?"
The second son, who was as taciturn and loyal as an old scalper, learned to resist.
Even a weak resistance was enough to make Han Fa so angry that he kicked over the kang cabinet, picked up a hard pipe, and smoked it on him without leaving any room.
But no matter how angry they were, they finally agreed.
In the past, his parents used filial piety to force him to dedicate everything to the third child without asking for anything in return.
Now, the third child has become the rope holding them back.
For the sake of the third child, they had to compromise.
It's really a turn of events.
Although he was still not relieved, it was enough for Han Hongye.
Before leaving, Han Hongye asked Qi Dani again why he wanted Brother Yu to go up the mountain.
Qi Dani felt as if a jar had been broken, and she was very confident: "Xiao Shuirong is a loser, and the son Yu brother is also a fool. It is better to die at once, so as not to drag you down."
"Your wife can't have a baby, so just divorce her and find another one to give birth to a smart baby."
"I'm your mother, can I still be bad for you?"
Han Hongye only felt ridiculous.
She had never done anything for him, but for the first time in her life, she wanted to kill his son in the name of doing him good? !
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t care about it!
"It's great that we can have a scholar in our family." Han Lanyue stood next to her sister with a bright smile.
Han Hongye pulled away from the memories and scratched his head: "Yes, it's great."
Brother Yu's matter is settled, and he, the father, cannot lag behind.
Earn money to support the family, and then find the right time to separate the family as soon as possible.
Han Hongye set a short-term goal, went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water, first wiped Han Yu's face and body, and then went behind the curtain to wash up.
Xiao Shuirong was in a good mood. After cleaning her hands, she took the medicine for the wound prepared by Doctor Guan: "Brother Yu, lie down and I'll give you the medicine."
Han Yu's face was flushed, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and joy. She raised her head and applied the medicine obediently.
Xiao Shuirong carefully applied the yellow ointment to the wound on his forehead, and suddenly said, "Lan Ling, come and take a look, is there a scab?"
Han Lanling put down her needlework, picked up the oil lamp, and looked at it: "It's true."
Xiao Shuirong glanced at the wound medicine and marveled: "Doctor Guan is indeed the best doctor in our town."
Xiaobai's leaves imitate the movement of hands on hips, so the meaning of claiming credit should not be too obvious.
Han Yu laughed and let them think that Dr. Guan was a skilled doctor and moved the petals of Xiaobai's flowers while the family was not paying attention.
Only he knows that all this is Xiaobai's credit.
This is a secret between them, and no third person will know it.
Han Lanyun clapped her hands happily: "That way, Brother Yu can go out and play with me earlier! Sister Xiufang's civet cat is about to give birth to cubs, and I will take you to see them then!"
Han Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay."
Speaking of civet cats, Han Lanyun couldn't stop talking. She squeezed Han Lanyue away and lay next to Han Yu, chirping: "Sister Xiufang's civet cats laid five in a litter last time. They were of different species, black and white. There are flowers..."
Han Yu responded with a few words from time to time and exclaimed in unison.
Han Hongye came out after washing up. Seeing this warm scene, he felt that the bruises and purple bruises on his chest were nothing.
No matter how strong the wind was outside, it did not affect the joy and laughter in this room at all.
.......
Fulfilling a wish, although Qi Dani's evil deeds could not be made public, Xiao Shuirong still had a good night's sleep.
It was dawn the next day, and Xiao Shuirong woke up on time under the influence of his biological clock.
I was so happy last night that I didn't ask Han Hongye for more details.
Just as he was about to ask more questions while the children were still asleep, he turned around and met his round eyes.
Xiao Shuirong was startled for a moment: "It's still dark, brother Yu, can you sleep a little longer?"
Han Yu shook his head: "Mom, I remembered."
Xiao Shuirong's eyes fell on his wound: "Although it's scabbed, I still can't stand the wind or catch a cold. It'll take two days, brother Yu, be good."
There is a kind of coldness that makes your mother think you are cold.
Han Yu was so coaxed by the last sentence that he felt dizzy, but still persisted: "I have been lying down all the time, and my whole body is stiff. I will only stay in the leeward place for a while, and then return to the house soon."
There was a slight pause in his words, and he clasped his calloused index fingers with two fingers.
Xiao Shuirong lowered his eyes and moved his brows.
Han Yu imitated what he had seen in the base before, children acting coquettishly towards their parents, and shook his head slightly: "Mom, are you okay~"
"Since Brother Yu wants to go out, let him agree to it, but don't hold it back."
The mother and son turned their heads. Han Hongye didn't know when he woke up, staring at the hands they held together with great covetousness.
Han Yu didn't notice, and nodded: "Dad is right."
The minority obeyed the majority, so Xiao Shuirong had no choice but to comply.
Han Hongye smiled at Han Yu, then darkly picked up Han Yu's paw, wrapped it in his hand and squeezed it.
soft.
Warm.
Han Hongye grinned, then switched to Han Yu's other hand and pinched it again and again.
Han Yu: "???"
Xiao Shuirong rolled her eyes at her husband, heard the sound of water outside, lifted the quilt and stood up.
"There is still half a month to celebrate the New Year, and the weather is getting colder. Brother Yu has just recovered from a serious illness, so he needs to wear more clothes."
Xiao Shuirong muttered, took out four or five pieces of patched clothes and a coat from the kang cabinet, and placed them next to Han Yu.
Han Yu's eyes widened. With so many clothes on his body, wouldn't he become a ball?
After receiving Brother Yu's look for help, Han Hongye's eyes drifted towards Xiao Shuirong.
Xiao Shuirong surrounded Hu Shang and looked at her.
Han Hongye coughed lightly: "Brother Yu, do you want dad to dress you?"
Han Yu: "......No need, Dad."
He did not miss the eye contact between his father and mother. It seemed that no one could challenge his mother's family throne.
The resistance was futile, so I had to wear it layer by layer.
After he put on his clothes and got off the bed, the three sisters sat up and rubbed their eyes.
When she saw her younger brother standing on the ground, Han Lanyun exclaimed: "Brother Yu, why are you dressed like a ball?"
Han Yu didn't want to speak, hung his head and hummed, took Xiao Shuirong's sleeve, and shook him out of the door.
Han Lanyun scratched her chicken coop-like hair and looked confused: "What's wrong with Brother Yu?"
Han Lanling saw through it but didn't tell her, and she maliciously didn't tell her, so that Brother Yu could get closer to her~
"Okay, stop dawdling, or you'll get scolded if you don't get up."
None of the three sisters liked Qi Dani, and they didn't want to be scolded at the head so early in the morning that they got up from the kang.
.......
Miao Cuiyun put the rice into the pot and came out of the kitchen to see Han Yu sitting in the lee of the corner of the west room.
It's a small one and extremely well-behaved.
Miao Cuiyun liked it so much that she stepped forward and bent down: "Brother Yu, are you feeling better?"
Han Yu didn't know how to call it, so he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Much better."
Miao Cuiyun didn't think much and touched Han Yu's paw to make sure it wasn't cold and then continued working.
Han Yu secretly sighed in relief. He had to find out the population of the Han family as soon as possible to avoid exposing the secret.
For the next half hour, Han Yu sat in a corner, watching the men and women of the Han family busy coming and going, struggling to cope with each other's concerned greetings.
It wasn't until the sound of reading aloud came from the southwest room that the uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated.
Han Yu put his hands in his sleeves and read silently.
"Let's eat!"
Following Miao Cuiyun's shout, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked to the main room.
"Creak——"
The two doors opened almost simultaneously.
Han Yu raised his eyes and saw several people walking out of the main room and the east room, which had been closed before.
At the same time, the other party also noticed Han Yu.
Qi Dani glanced at him coldly, turned away and went to the kitchen.
Well, it looks mean at first glance.
It looked exactly like the evil grandma he imagined.
This kind of person would have been beaten to death long ago in the base.
Han Fa held the dry cigarette in his hand and knocked it against the door frame without giving Han Yu a look the whole time.
The twins wanted to come, but Huang Xiulan grabbed them and dragged them into the main room.
Only Han Hongqing strolled forward, his eyes rolling on Han Yu's forehead.
Just when Han Yu thought he would pay him routine attention like Miao Cuiyun and others, Han Hongqing pointed at him and taught him a lesson.
"Brother Yu, you are three years old, why are you still so ignorant and running around? Do you know how much trouble this will cause for your family?"
Han Yu: "???"
Han Yu: "..."
If he hadn't known that all this was caused by Qi Dani, he would really feel guilty.
Han Hongqing's preaching continued: "The second brother and sister-in-law are already busy enough on weekdays. It's fine if you don't help them and let them worry..."
"Brother Yu, it's time to eat."
The soft call was like the sound of nature. Han Yu stood up and ran towards Xiao Shuirong with difficulty: "I'm coming!"
Han Hongqing looked at the empty stools and his face turned blue.
Han Yu turned a blind eye and followed Xiao Shuirong into the main room.
If people respect me a foot, I will return a foot to others.
Neither his parents have ever scolded him, he is such a big-faced person.
Like the evil grandma, she needs a lesson.
Han Yu looked around, quickly located Han Hongye's position, and tentatively sat down next to him.
one two three......
If no one corrects the mistake, it means that the position belongs to him.
As soon as he had arranged the inner and outer layers of clothing, a shadow fell above his head, and Han Song sat down on his left side.
Han Yu's eyes lit up: "Second brother."
Han Song held his chopsticks and didn't look at Han Yu, nor did he want to pay attention.
However, my father, brother and second uncle were beside me, so I could only hold my breath and concentrate: "Yeah."
Han Yu rolled his eyes with undisguised pleasure.
Han Hongqing asked in a warm voice: "Dad, Mom, I heard some noises when I was doing my endorsement last night. I wanted to come out and have a look, but I couldn't stop in the middle, so I came here today to ask, but what's the matter?"
"It doesn't matter, the endorsement is important." Han Fa patted him on the shoulder, his face full of pride, "It's not a big deal, it's just that your mother missed your aunt, and in a moment of grief, she bumped into the kang cabinet."
Han Honghao nodded. He had the same answer when he asked last night. It seemed that his parents had not fooled him.
Qi Dani's hands shook for some reason, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Han Hongqing advised: "This man has passed away, but my mother still puts her own body first."
Qi Dani didn't sleep all night, and her stomach full of pain disappeared due to these words: "Okay, Mom knows. If you study hard, nothing will happen to Mom."
It was true that Qi Dani's attitude towards herself and the chatty man were so different that Han Yu couldn't help but look at her.
Looking at it, we found that both sides of Qi Dani's face were asymmetrical, and the left side of her face was obviously swollen.
It couldn't be that... he was beaten, right?
Considering the bad things she did, Han Yu felt it was very possible.
In this family, only one person according to seniority can do anything to her.
Han Yu felt secretly happy and turned to look at today's meal.
Porridge and leftover wild vegetable pancakes from last night, plus a plate of dried radish.
It is said to be porridge, but it is actually a bowl of crystal clear rice soup with a few grains of rice settling at the bottom of the bowl.
Looking at the steamed eggs in front of him, Han Yu thought about whether he should share some with his parents and sisters.
While Han Yu was hesitating, Han Chun noticed the steamed eggs and drooled.
He didn't care that Han Yu was injured, so he stretched out his dirty hands to grab it.
Han Yu subconsciously protected him, causing Han Chun to scream.
Qi Dani opened her mouth and scolded: "You are a solitary eater..."
Han Fa slapped the table: "That's enough!"
After all, he was the head of the family, so he was so intimidated that there was no sound at the table.
"Brother Yu only ate eggs when his head was broken. What do you want to eat?" Han Fa stuffed a pancake for Han Chun. Before the latter could react, he spoke first, "Before eating, I have something to say. .”
More than a dozen eyes fell on Han Fa.
Han Fa glanced at Han Hongye and then at Han Yu: "I plan to let Brother Yu go to school next year."
However, as soon as Han Fa finished speaking, someone shouted: "No! This is not fair!"
Everyone followed the sound, Huang Xiulan held her head high and said: "Brother Chun and Brother Bai haven't gone yet, why can Brother Yu go?"
