Han Song looked surprised: "How could Third Aunt do this?"
Han Hongqing felt embarrassed and said succinctly: "She was sitting with her mother when the government servants broke into the house."
Then they were gathered up and beaten together.
Han Yu almost couldn't control himself and let out a sad laugh.
Let the two of them talk together no matter what happens, and retribution will come soon.
Han Hongqing was so depressed that he couldn't vent his anger, so he pointed the finger at his two nephews: "Three people in the family were injured, but you two were hiding in the house and watching, it really chills me!"
Han Yu resisted in a low voice: "But we are still children."
It is said that women, children, old and young are a vulnerable group, and he and his second brother are also weak, helpless and pitiful.
Han Song, who has lived half a hundred years in two lifetimes: "..."
Han Hongqing was choked badly. Hearing the screams of pain next door getting more intense, he snorted and threw away his sleeves.
The room returned to calm, and Han Song glanced at Han Yu: "You are the only one who can speak."
Han Yu blushed and responded shyly: "So I'll say more."
Han Song looked away, out of sight and out of mind.
...
After Han Yu finished practicing his first big calligraphy, Han Hongqing finally invited Dr. Guan.
Doctor Guan was carrying a medicine box on his shoulder, his beard and hair were messy, and he looked dusty. At first glance, he seemed to have been pulled in during a medical visit.
You know, Doctor Guan is the only big treasure in the ten miles and eight villages.
If hundreds of families have a headache or fever, they all refer to him for diagnosis and treatment.
Han Yu bit the end of his pen, his mind racing like thousands of horses, his thoughts drifting far away in the blink of an eye.
It was just a tea time, and the humming next door was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and I was afraid that I would faint from the pain.
Especially Qi Dani, who had not recovered from the scratches on her face and was bitten by a snake. Now that the snake venom has not been exhausted, she was beaten by the government servants again.
It's so miserable.
Han Yu raised the corners of his mouth, thinking with schadenfreude.
"ah!"
Leng Buding screamed, Han Yu's hand shook, and the pen almost poked his nose.
Doctor Guan's exasperated voice reached his ears: "Your arm is dislocated. If you don't push it back now, you will suffer a lot later."
Han Yu turned his eyes slightly and called Han Song: "Second brother, it seems that I am seriously injured. How about we go over and take care of him?"
Although it is a bit of an afterthought, it can be regarded as a sign of filial piety.
Han Song didn't see any worry in his eyes, so he just assumed that the relationship between his grandfather and grandson was weak and didn't think much about it.
Anyway, I agreed to him this time.
Quan Dang is a good reward for reciting every word of "University".
Thinking of this, Han Song put down his writing brush, put the written article under the window, pressed a corner with a paperweight, and stood up slowly: "Let's go."
Han Yu cheered in his heart and followed Han Song towards the main room.
In the main room, only Han Hongqing and his wife were guarding, while everyone else was busy outside.
Han Hongqing looked unhappy, and Huang Xiulan stood next to him like a little daughter-in-law, lowering her head and covering her face, unable to see her expression clearly.
But Han Yu could clearly see that what was exposed between the fingers was clearly red, swollen and bruised caused by strong blows, which was quite miserable.
Han Yu once again lamented that the yamen servant was so merciless that he just wanted to do something, but he actually did it to his face.
Looking at it like this, it won't be better in less than ten days and half a month.
When the two brothers entered the door, they received Huang Xiulan's cryptic glare.
Han Yu paused and ducked behind Han Song.
Huang Xiulan was so angry at Han Yu's avoidance that she gasped for air and felt a stabbing pain in her chest.
Just now, Qi Dani was making noise in the room, prompting the yamen servant to teach her a lesson.
Qi Dani was slow to dodge due to the snake's venom, so she used Huang Xiulan as a human shield.
At that time, Huang Xiulan's mind was filled with thoughts about how to deal with Han Yu without anyone noticing. When she wasn't paying attention, she was slapped in the face by a big hand like a cattail leaf fan and kicked in the chest.
In the final analysis, all this is because of Han Yu.
If she had not come to the main room to discuss Han Yu's affairs with her mother-in-law, she would not have suffered such an unreasonable disaster.
Han Song responded to the third aunt's fierce eyes with a normal expression, and was poked in the lower back by Han Yu.
He realized belatedly that Han Yu was instructing him to rush to the front.
Han Song: "..."
Just as he was about to take a step to the left, Doctor Guan, who was setting Han Fa's bones over there, looked over at the sound.
He first glanced at Han Song, then focused on Han Yu, raising his eyebrows slightly: "Hey, Brother Yu is in good spirits, and he seems to be recovering well."
Han Yu subconsciously touched the scab on his forehead, only half of it was left, revealing the new pink tender flesh.
Doctor Guan saved his life. Han Yu had good senses about him, so he pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Well, it doesn't matter now."
Doctor Guan said, "I'll check your pulse later."
Han Yu did not refuse and thanked him with a smile.
"Hey, Doctor Guan, please stop talking nonsense here. My waist is hurting so much. You have to show me quickly."
Han Yu's smile was so dazzling in Qi Dani's eyes that she immediately howled at the top of her voice, successfully attracting Doctor Guan's attention.
Doctor Guan returned to his expressionless expression and exerted slight pressure on his hands.
There was only a "click" sound, and along with Han Fa's howl, the twisted arm returned to its original shape.
"alright."
Doctor Guan wiped his hands with a towel and continued to deal with Qi Dani.
Han Hongqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked Han Fa: "Dad, how are you feeling? Does your arm still hurt?"
Han Fa wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile: "Dad is fine."
He looked at Han Yu and Han Song again, and most of the warmth in his eyes disappeared instantly: "You two don't need to be here anymore. Go feed the chickens and pigs."
He had already carelessly gotten close to the eldest and second child, especially when the two of them saw his own embarrassment, which made him feel that he had lost all face.
Qi Dani was lying on the kang, calling out eh yo yo yo.
Hearing what Han Fa said, she also waved her hands, like chasing away a chicken: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't stand here to hinder my eyes."
After seeing the excitement, Han Yu felt happy and ready to leave, so he responded, grabbed Han Song's sleeve, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Tan Quan's voice came from outside the door: "Dafa, I heard that the government officials are causing trouble at your house?"
Han Fa's eyelids twitched: "Brother Tan, how do you know?"
"There was such a big movement, and your third son went to ask Doctor Guan again. Who in the village doesn't know about it now?"
Han Fa's eyes darkened, he was so embarrassed!
Han Hongqing said in a gentle tone: "Uncle Tan, are you here?"
Perhaps Qi Dani had been lying on the kang for too long, and there was a strange smell in the main room. After Tan Quan looked at Han Fa's arms, he retreated to the door and stood with his hands behind his back.
"One is here to see what's going on, and the second is, it's not New Year's Eve, and there aren't many literate people in the village, so I'm going to come to your house to borrow two people to write couplets."
The only two people in the Han family who are good at calligraphy are Han Hongqing and Han Song.
It’s self-evident who the two people mentioned in Tan Quan’s mouth are.
But Han Fa seemed not to understand, and his dark face looked honest: "That's good, the third child happens to be at home, so let him go with you."
Tan Quan frowned: "And..."
"Brother Song, Brother Yu, why don't you two hurry up and feed the chickens and pigs?"
Han Song hid the cold light in his eyes and left without saying a word.
Han Yu pursed her lips tightly, wrinkled a small knot between her brows, and left.
Han Fa smiled: "Brother Tan, don't be surprised. Everyone is busy early in the morning, and we don't even have time to feed the chickens and pigs."
Tan Quan looked at him deeply and said nothing. When he asked about the whole story, he felt speechless and choked.
It is said that there are seven rank officials in front of the prime minister. Although the yamen servants do not have serious official status, they are subordinate to the county yamen.
Dafa was afraid that he was confused and dared to question it in front of the government officials.
Even Tan Quan, the head of the village, after learning that the poll tax was 10% higher, asked a few questions and found that the government officials looked impatient, so he didn't dare to ask again.
Han Fa and Qi Dani were really two people who were not afraid of death. They made him so angry!
Tan Quan ignored the presence of juniors at the moment, pointed at the two of them and scolded them, leaving a meaningful sentence "I think you are getting more confused as you get older", and took Han Hongqing to write a couplet.
After a while, the two senior uncles of the Han family came over with crutches.
When he learned that the two of them had offended the government officials in a heartless manner, they immediately fell down in anger.
If he hadn't been concerned that the other party was injured, he would have picked up a cane and given him a severe lesson.
"You idiot, aren't you afraid of offending them and causing Brother Qing to leave a bad impression in front of the county magistrate?"
Han Fa felt aggrieved: "I didn't say anything, and they took action."
Uncle Han was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. After warning him again and again, he walked away crookedly with the help of his juniors.
Doctor Guan watched the excitement for a while, gave Huang Xiulan a jar of wound medicine, and then went to Han Yu to check her pulse.
After confirming that Han Yu was in good health and had no sequelae, he left.
...
After checking his pulse, Han Yu returned to the kitchen pond.
The firelight danced in his dark eyes, making them as bright as stars.
Han Song threw the chopped pigweed into the pot and cooked it. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Han Yu puffing up his cheeks and humming for the unknown number of times.
He asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Han Yu held the fire fork in both hands and poked firewood from time to time. His face turned red from the heat.
When he heard the second brother's question, he straightened up and tried to raise his head so that the second brother could see him.
"Nothing, just...just..."
Han Yu hesitated to speak, and Han Song did not rush him. He used a wooden spoon to pull the pigweed and waited patiently.
Han Yu finally thought it over and said sincerely: "I also want a couplet. Can my second brother write one for me?"
Han Song suddenly smiled.
A faint smile appeared on Qingjun's face, like the spring breeze blowing on his face and the glacier melting.
Although Han Yu tried hard to support himself, only the top of his hair popped out and he couldn't even see his eyes.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear a laugh, Han Yu jumped up, and what he saw was Han Song's cold face.
Han Song's eyes were lowered, his lips were straight, and his hands were constantly moving.
The wooden spoon collided with the iron pot, making a crisp sound.
"Second brother?"
Han Song raised his eyes.
Han Yu locked eyes with him: "Did you laugh just now?"
Han Song gave him a "what are you thinking about" look: "No, maybe you heard wrong."
Han Yu whispered, believing it to be true.
The male protagonist is originally a character who is indifferent to the flowers of the high mountains, and he is not someone who laughs casually.
The more Han Yu thought about it, the more he felt so, and sat back again.
As soon as I picked up the fire fork, I heard Han Song say again: "Come in the afternoon to get the couplets."
Han Yu immediately put aside his doubts and responded with a smile on his face.
...
As soon as noon passed, Han Yu went to the southwest room and got the couplet he had been thinking about.
Han Song's handwriting is just like his person, with gold hooks and iron paintings, sharp and sharp.
First couplet: Winter brings beautiful mountains and rivers together
Second line: Xilai peach blossoms share the fragrance [1]
Han Yu saw Huan Xi and praised Han Song. He went to Han Hongye with the couplet and asked him to paste it on the door of the northwest room.
Han Hongye took care of himself and pasted the couplets on the door with glue.
Han Yu flattened the small bubbles under the couplets with her hands, and went to Han Song holding the pen and ink book: "I practiced calligraphy in the morning, and it's time to learn literacy in the afternoon."
Han Song put down his book and started teaching.
The afternoon passed by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was evening.
Because Han Fa and Qi Dani were injured one after another, and it was a bad year on such a big day as New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve dinner was not served, so the old couple settled it in the main room.
With the elders away, everyone felt much more at ease. They finished the New Year's Eve dinner talking and laughing, and then sat down around the charcoal basin to prepare for the New Year's Eve.
The ten children of the Han family were divided into two camps. The children in the second and third bedrooms peeled peanuts and ate melon seeds, chatting and laughing happily.
The children in the third room were greedy, but they couldn't fit in, so they could only sit dryly with Huang Xiulan.
Huang Xiulan looked at the two sisters-in-law who were biting and whispering, and rubbed her chest, which felt numb and tingling, and felt that she was isolated.
But she is the one who likes Qi Dani the most. The two of them are always on the same page.
In the past, Qi Dani stayed with her to watch the New Year's Eve. This time, Qi Dani injured her waist and couldn't move, so she could only stay alone.
Time always flies by when loved ones are with you.
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of the night, there was a mountain of peanut shells and melon seed shells piled up in front of Han Yu, and his eyelids began to drop.
Xiao Shuirong saw this and drove him back to the house to sleep first.
Han Yu really couldn't stand it any longer, so she didn't force herself to hold on. She yawned and said Happy New Year to her brothers and sisters, then went back to the house to sleep.
Han Hongye burned the kang early in the morning, and Han Yu lay on the kang, feeling warm all over.
He turned over with a smile. This was his first New Year's Eve.
Plain, but warm.
He yawned on his back and murmured: "I have to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, but I'm so tired... What the hell?"
Han Yu groped around in the quilt and found something disturbing.
It's a purse the size of a palm.
Han Yu opened his purse and found two copper plates inside.
Inexplicably, the words "New Year's money" came to Han Yu's mind.
Han Yu clutched the copper plate, her heart pounding for a moment.
If so, that would be great!
Han Yu happily hid the copper plate in his inner pocket, held it close to his chest, and rolled several times on the kang.
Han Yu knew that he would spend many such New Year's Eves with his family in the future.
But this year's New Year's Eve alone will be remembered by him for the rest of his life.
