Because he was threatened to tell a story by the ventriloquist loli in the middle of the morning, Zhu Pingan didn’t have time to bake the fish today, and when he came home from school, he still brought the entire fish basket home. Today’s fish stock wasn’t as much as yesterday’s, just five palm-sized fish for comfort.
Riding the old yellow ox back home, he found that the house was in a mess.
The fourth aunt, the third aunt and mother Chen’s is with the eldest aunt and grandmother is noisy in the yard chicken flying dog jump, can not be separated.
It must be for the eldest aunt in the grandmother that asked for two coins of money caused, just do not know who is picking the head. Three against one, the grandmother did not say a word, the mother can not eat the loss, Zhu Pingan did not go forward.
“Sister-in-law, you are not colluding with the Yue family to fool us, right? The other day, the Yue family sent us a consistent amount of money, and yesterday you asked for two Chinese yuan from my mother, the usury is not that high, right? Second and Third Sister-in-laws and I are just asking, but we can’t ask if we’re causing trouble for the family and destroying the brotherhood?” Fourth Auntie looked aggrieved and spat out her grievances.
“Not to you, not what you think, your big brother to go to the county to study for a few days, the next time will certainly be able to win the Candidate of the Candidates, then it is not our family together to enjoy the blessings of the scenery, and the county governor to sit down on an equal footing do not have to kneel, but also exempt from taxes and corvée service, the fourth sibling sister is not me you, look to the long term, your big brother developed and still forget about you ah. ” Big aunt in the fourth aunt’s questioning counter-questioning to cope with more than, face taut smile, just like the eldest sister to advise their own unintelligent sister.
“Zhongzhongzhongzhong, sister-in-law every time like this, also did not see which time big brother has won!” The fourth aunt voice muttered.
“Fourth sibling, what did you just do?” Big Auntie’s face taut smile can’t be taut anymore, broken.
“No, nothing. How do we know whether Big Brother used the two grand to go on a study tour or to curry favor with the Yue family.” Fourth aunt shook her hand repeatedly, who does not know that big brother’s success in the Xiu Cai is sister-in-law’s wish, but do not dare to touch this frown, just lead the topic to other places.
“That’s right, sister-in-law, two guan of money is not an amount. If we use it ourselves, Jun’er can go to school, and it’s enough for my swine to go to school with us.” Mother Chen followed.
The first aunt heard this and looked at Zhu Pingan who rode the old yellow ox with a fish basket outside the door, her smile had a few moments of disdain on it, but her face was still smiling.
She said:
“Second sibling, I think it’s good for the swine to herd the oxen, and look at the swine catching fish again. I would not have wanted to let my family Jun’er go to Montessori, want to keep him under the ground cattle ah, but people fortune tellers must be my family Jun’er is the Wenquxing down to earth, and even looked at a number of word measuring fortune tellers so, but also what, if I do not Jun’er to send to the academy, it is incompatible with what, I’m afraid of, and only with the home of his mother’s mouth, did not think that her maternal grandmother on the Baba sent the money. ”
Zhu Pingan saw his mother being angry by the words of the eldest aunt this clip with a stick to the face of the green, looking at his mother is going to go up to the eldest aunt to discuss some.
At this time, outside the door, Zhu Pingjun also came back from school, because Zhu Pingan rode the old yellow ox faster.
“Mother, I don’t want to go to the school anymore. That old master looks at me and beats me on the palm of my hand every day, look at how it’s all swollen, anyway, I’m never going back.”
Zhu Ping Jun roared as soon as he entered the door, stretching out his hand that was red from the teacher’s beating, snotting and crying that he would never go to the academy again.
Zhu Pingan although wearing simple, there are patches, but the whole person is fat and dry quiet; Zhu Pingjun wear good, new clothes, but the face is snot and tears, face and traces of mud. Looking at, Zhu Pingan is more like the students of the school of monks, Zhu Pingjun is like a monkey and crown, instead of like cattle herding.
Mother Chen looked at this scene, the face of the gas suddenly disappeared, with the expression and eyes of the great aunt just returned to the great aunt.
The eldest aunt was so stimulated by the mother Chen, and then look at the son who cried and cried that the husband beat the palm of his hand every day, and died not to go to the academy again, and all of a sudden exploded.
“I let you no longer go to the school, I let you not learn properly in the school ….. Do you know how hard father and mother have paid for you to go to school …….” Great aunt can no longer maintain just tongue debate group sisters-in-law temperament, angry face can not be pulled, a hand Zhu Pingjun fishing over, took the broom placed on the side of the lumps, crackling to Zhu Pingjun ass greeting.
“Aiya, sister-in-law, you have gas also don’t hit the child ah, Jun’er so understand what ah, that’s a Wenquxing can not give a bad hit.” Mother Chen is not willing to suffer the Lord, words sound to protect Zhu Pingjun, but in fact the words are sneering great-aunt sister-in-law, you just for Jun’er school fees much vigor, I heard it right, not Jun’er school is the Yue family money?” Fourth Auntie’s ears were quite sharp, and she caught the handle of Great Auntie’s words and held on to them.
The third aunt who hadn’t made a sound also spoke up, “I also heard sister-in-law so.”
The great aunt who is teaching her son a lesson heard the hand a pause, Zhu Pingjun from the hands of the great aunt to break free, and did not run away, so straight lying on the ground rolled up, while rolling while crying, “You beat me to death, beat me to death, anyway, I will never go to the academy again.”
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Pingjun turned into a mud monkey, tears rushed out of his face two white, contrasting with the mud on his face, and there were two mud snot hanging from his nose, crying and howling not to mention how miserable it was.
“Jun, get up, the ground is dirty.” Laurie Yu’er timidly emerged from a corner and walked up to Zhu Pingjun and coaxed.
Zhu Pingjun hit his own roll and ignored Yu’er.
Zhu Pingan also got down from the old yellow ox’s back, carrying a fish basket and also came over, looked at the mud monkey like Zhu Pingjun, and also looked at Yuel who blinked her big watery eyes to herself, and opened her mouth:
“Let’s go, Yu’er, brother caught several fish from the river, let’s put them in the water basin to play, there is a fish with a colorful back, it’s pretty.”
As Zhu Pingan spoke, he pulled Yu’er to carry the fish basket and headed to the well in the courtyard where there was a water basin.
“There’s a nice looking fish, wait for me, wait for me, I’ll go too.” Zhu Pingjun, who was rolling and crying on the ground, once he heard that there was something fun to look at, he also stopped crying and howling, grunted up from the ground, stretched out his muddy paws and wiped a handful of tears and snot, and bumbled to catch up with Zhu Pingan, just like a person who was fine.
The people in the yard were all dumbfounded at this scene.
Then
Fourth Aunt was the first to react and asked after First Aunt, “Sister-in-law, you haven’t answered what Third Sister-in-law and I said just now. Wasn’t Jun’er’s Montessori school paid for by the Yue family, and why did you and big brother go through so much effort?”
“That’s right, sister-in-law, you have to give us an explanation.”
“Yes, sister-in-law.”
The courtyard began to be chaotic again.
