Good intentions

Those who have not been sick for a long time will collapse instantly once they are invaded by cold evil.

Early in the morning, Wang Sanlang's forehead felt hot and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't even lie down.

In the courtyard, Wang Weng wandered back and forth outside the east wing for several times, and finally insisted on the decision made last night. "Ah He, call Ah Zhu out. Just say that you are going to the west of the village, don't say anything else."

He also asked the second man behind him: "Take Age to the village drugstore to buy medicine for your third brother. Don't be greedy and buy it from the salesman. By the way, go to the village. Age's passing permit for going to Nanshan to attend school should be reported.

Already."

In the east wing room, Wang Sanlang was in a daze when he saw his eldest son being called out. He forced himself to sit up and shouted: "Azhu!"

Wang Zhu stopped at the door and said: "Father, please lie down quickly. Dad called me and I will be back later."

Wang Sanlang's mouth was half open, his chin was trembling, and tears were streaming down his face. Son, you won't be able to come back for a while. Don't blame your elder parents, don't blame your father! Son, your elder father is worried.

My father is incompetent and can't control you, so he sent you to a place where he can control you. Don't be afraid. You are young and will not do the same heavy work as those subordinates. There is always a way for us, father and son, to reunite. There is always a way.

.

The foolish-minded and foolish Wang Sanlang was also very thorough.

Doesn't Wang Weng know that Wang Zhu is young and will be punished with some hard work at most when he is sent to Linshui Pavilion? The reason for doing this is to let Wang Zhu, who has a crooked mind, understand how to be afraid! As a family man, he will never do it

Because Wang Zhu is a grandson, he will show favoritism! Yao's wife will be abandoned if she does evil things; Wang's son will be punished equally if he does evil things!

This kind of action itself is the most severe blow to Wang Zhu! Not what kind of punishment this boy can receive!

When the old man explained the whole story to Ren Suzhi in front of Zizhan, Wang Zhu collapsed like a thunderbolt. Wang He pulled his disciple twice, but he couldn't pull him up.

Ren Suzhi scratched his head, Wang Zhu had a problem for him. First of all, Wang Zhu's height was less than six feet five, which was within the scope of the law's leniency. Furthermore, it was a relative who "reported" him, and there was no crime on his part.

Based on real evidence, the old man’s words were filled with self-blame for “negligence in discipline”.

How to deal with this? Oh, what a problem! If he hadn't asked him to look after the Wang family because of his nephew, he would have kicked out the old man and the second child right now.

"My father-in-law, let's do this... Now that it's freezing cold and the widower just needs someone to take care of his daily life, let Wang Zhu take care of the widower until Ji Chun. How about it? If Ji Chun changes his ways, my father-in-law will ask him to go home.

If it fails, it will be postponed to the Dragon Boat Festival. How about that?"

"Isn't there a family taking care of the widower?"

"Don't mention that stupid mother and son. They are so lazy that they are almost infested with insects. When the weather warms up, the widower will drive them away."

"I see. Sir Xie Ting is here."

"It's cold, old man, go back quickly. I'll ask my men to send Wang Zhu there." He turned to Wang Zhu and scolded: "Wang Zhu, listen up, before Ji Chun, only family members are allowed to visit you, and you are not allowed to go home. But you must

remember!"

What should you remember? What should you not return home? When Wang Zhu was lifted up by Cheng Shuang, his whole body felt as if it had been beaten down, and he could not walk at all. "Uncle... um... eldest father..." He was cold from head to toe, and his throat was cold.

It was as if it had suddenly swollen up, making him cry like a mosquito. "Does the eldest father not want me anymore? Does the father not want me anymore? No one wants me anymore, um..."

Outside the village road.

Wang Erlang was always in a bad mood. He first complained: "When I didn't have any cows at home, I would walk to the countryside. Now that I have cows, I still have to walk. What do we want to do with raising cows?"

"Second uncle is right, let's go back and hold it."

"No, no, no, no. It's so cold, take it out and freeze it again. Alas, your eldest father is really determined not to let A-Zhu go."

The second uncle finally expressed his worries, and Wang Ge had already thought about how to persuade him: "I don't think so. If the eldest father really doesn't want A Zhu, he can just go to the township office and separate his name from ours. This is so rare.

The villagers will soon know what happened, so where will there be room for A-Zhu?"

"Huh? That's right!" The more Wang Erlang thought about it, the more reasonable he became, "So your eldest father wanted to teach this evildoer a lesson? Did he take him to the pavilion chief to scare him? After he knew that he had really committed an evil deed, he

Do you have to be like those ministers?"

"I hope Ah Zhu can understand the painstaking efforts of the eldest father. But... look at the second uncle, the third uncle doesn't know, how can we still count on him?"

Wang Erlang shook his cheeks quickly: "I know! I knew it as soon as you said it. But your third uncle is stupid, you have to say it several times."

"The second uncle scolded the third uncle for being stupid. I will tell the third uncle when I get back."

Wang Erlang was in a good mood and said: "You don't need to sue me. I'll scold him in front of him when I get back. Hu Bao, why don't we stop buying medicine? Your third uncle is worried, why are you wasting grain?"

"I thought so too."

The uncle and nephew were joking about each other, so how could they really not buy medicine.

After arriving in the town, I found that both sides of the street were full of people selling farm tools and winter wine, while the peddlers mostly sold peach trees and reed ropes to ward off evil spirits.

Someone was shouting in front of the cloth shop: "New cloth has been brought in, buy cloth for the twelfth lunar month."

Someone also shouted at the door of the bean shop: "Five-color beans, buy some five-color beans, cook them in the twelfth lunar month to drive away diseases and disasters."

It’s even busier in front of various sauce shops.

Turning around a street, there are many people selling firecrackers. Which kind of firecrackers are better? The kind that the bamboo craftsman dislikes the most.

When burning firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, if you want to hear a loud "cracking" sound, you need thick bamboo tubes and dense bamboo joints. The closer you can cut them, the better. So now is not the best time to buy or sell firecrackers.

Although the uncle and nephew watched the bustle and excitement, they kept walking. They went to the drug store and explained Wang Sanlang's cold condition, and traded them for three liters of new grain. Originally, two liters of grain could buy two doses of medicine, but the drug store would close in ten days.

, the uncle and nephew bought an extra dose.

Going to the township office to apply for a road permit went smoothly, and the township officials said they already knew about it.

Because Wang Erlang was sending Wang Ge this time, both of them had to explain carefully the luggage, money and food they brought, including not driving livestock carts and not using farm tools and equipment. The village officials recorded them one by one, and a few days later they would make the bamboo signs for crossing the border.

Send it to Linshui Pavilion's camp in Jiashe Village, so Wang Gezhong doesn't have to make a trip to pick it up.

When leaving his hometown, Wang Ge met the Muxiang official.

The Muxiang official smiled and said: "Some time ago, I told my friends that the first-class craftsman boy was among the candidates I took. Unexpectedly, the little lady has become the first-class craftsman. Congratulations! I hope to see you next time, little one.

My wife is already a master craftsman. Haha!"

The uncle and nephew said goodbye to the Muxiang official with smiles on their faces. Wang Erlang was more cheerful than his niece and swayed as he walked. When he passed a woman without thinking, the woman threw a handkerchief in his face.

Wang Erlang's eyes darkened, he took it off and stretched out his hand to return it.

Wang Ge rolled his eyes in embarrassment. Wasn't that what she meant?

It really is!

"Mr. Lang, my family lives in Dongxiang, and my surname is Nie." This lady said she was brave. She had been half-covering her face in shyness and turning her back. Say she was not brave. Her story was quite clear.

Wang Erlang's face turned red with embarrassment and he threw his handkerchief at his niece.

Why did you throw it to me? Wang Ge took the handkerchief and couldn't force it back to the lady, right? "Nie, ha...Second uncle, you, you..."

Wang Erlang's face turned purple with embarrassment. He pulled Wang Ge and urged: "Go! Go, go, go."

Wang Ge also grinned and replied: "Go quickly, go quickly."

The uncle and nephew fled quickly.

Madam Nie couldn't wait for a reply, so she looked back and saw that she was long gone!

After walking on the rural road, Wang Ge took a closer look at the handkerchief. Fortunately, there was no embroidery or name on it. Judging from the stitching, Madam Nie's scarf was very good.

Wang Ge stretched out his arms and loosened his fingers.

The handkerchief was blown away by the wind and quickly fell into the reeds.

In a distant place with wild reeds, Mrs. Yang looked back and sneered in the direction of Jiashe Village. No wonder the Yao family married off their aunt without telling Wang Zhu. This child was young, but his heart was like a wolf.

No favors. She sent him home after a long journey, but when she left his house, he didn't even look at her, didn't thank her, let alone send her off.

"Bah, you little beast! If I had known earlier, I would have circled you halfway and starved to death!" Mrs. Yang finished her sentence and continued walking.

Reed rope: a rope made of reed grass, hung by the door during the twelfth lunar month to ward off evil spirits.

Peach figures: Human figurines made of peach wood, like reed ropes, were also used to ward off evil spirits during the Chinese New Year in ancient times.

Nvhong (gōng): "Hong" is the same as "worker". In the early days, it was always referred to as "female worker". The word "nvhong" first appeared in "Hanshu", and since then it has gradually replaced "female worker".
