The Little Widower (farming)

41

On the village chief's birthday, almost the whole village came, and even Qi Shuning was asked to help write the ceremony. Li Xin sat on the side and pouted, saying that she wanted to ask someone for help, but at the same time she was afraid that others would keep it secretly. You have to find someone to guard you.

Chen Qing and Aunt Sun did not come. At this moment, Li Xin and Meng Qi's wife Wang Xuemei were sitting together. There was not even a peanut on the table, it was just a bare table. Not even a pot of tea was poured. Everyone was sitting there. There is a cold wind blowing outside.

Li Tiejiang and Zhang Yin didn't come either. Li Tiejiang took Zhou Yuan's ox cart to Fucheng to get medicine, and also let the doctor check on her condition. Although her health was better now than before, Li Tiejiang was still a little worried. , so I took her to Fucheng to see a doctor on the sixth day of the lunar month.

Today's banquet was not set up at the village chief's house. The main reason was that the village chief's house didn't have such a big place, so the table was set up in the open space of the village ancestral hall. There was no shed, and the sun couldn't shine in. It was strangely cold. of.

He saw Zhou Yuan coming, and after he remembered the ceremony, he called people over to sit down. Zhou Yuan greeted Wang Xuemei and looked at Li Xin: "What are you doing?"

"What did you give me?" Li Xin was a little curious.

"A pen and ten cents." Zhou Yuan glanced at the sun and said, "I'm leaving. Are you going to eat here?"

Li Xin snickered: "It's too bad for you. Who in the village doesn't know the village chief?" The most angry thing is that my husband has to rush me back because my child is useless. Your gift is going to pierce someone's heart."

Zhou Yuan also smiled: "You have to keep the money to marry your husband, so you can only give some away. That's all."

After thinking about it, he felt that the inkstone given to him by the general was still too precious for the village chief's family.

Li Xin went to look at the things he sent again, but didn't see anything else. He saw Qi Shuning glancing at the pen. Li Xin, who had just laughed at the village chief, now felt that Qi Shuning was ignorant.

Zhou Yuan also saw it, and he said: "I also have a set of four treasures of the study, which is in the style of the capital. I will send it to your home tonight."

Li Xin laughed again: "Thank you very much, brother."

"Yes, you two will get married. I didn't have time to give you gifts, so I made up for them."

In fact, Zhou Yuan also brought a lot of gifts to Li Xin when he came back, and this gift was also given to Qi Shuning.

Zhou Yuan wanted to leave, but the village chief stopped him. He seemed to know that he wanted to leave, and the village chief kept talking to him.

Soon it was time to start the banquet. Zhou Yuan looked at the village chief who had been staring at him and knew that he could not go back to feed the pigs with Chen Qing at noon, so he asked Niu Niu to run over, saying that he might not be able to go back at noon, so Chen Qing asked Don't overfeed the pig, as he will need to be fed again in the afternoon.

Niu Niu went obediently. Zhou Yuan was afraid that Chen Qing would be unhappy if he missed the appointment, so he planned to leave after toasting.

Zhou Yuan did not sit at the village chief's table. He pulled Qi Shuning together and sat at the same table with Meng Qi and Meng Shuanzi. The three of them naturally chatted about the events after the New Year. Zhou Yuan said that he was going to the county town. Go to the county seat and have a look.

Meng Qi and the others were naturally led by him, and they would do whatever he said. Zhou Yuan was a little irritated. The village chief was still toasting table after table. He couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his glass and went directly to toast. .

"I wish the village chief a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity as long as the Southern Mountains." Zhou Yuan was just going through the motions. When he saw the village chief raising his glass, he gently clinked the wine glass with the village chief and then raised his head to drink up the wine.

The wine in his mouth was also bland, but when Zhou Yuan looked at the village chief, his eyes were already misty. The village chief was happy today, maybe because it was Wu's birthday, and the gifts from the villagers were also generous. Some.

It's just that his drinking capacity is too poor. After drinking such a weak wine for two or three tables, he almost couldn't stand.

Aunt Wang squeezed over and saw that the village chief couldn't stand any longer, so she pulled Zhou Yuan's sleeve: "Zhou Yuan, please help Auntie send him back. We can't leave here either..."

In the village People are not surprised. The village chief does this every year when he celebrates his birthday. He gets drunk after just a few drinks.

Zhou Yuan nodded, just in time, he would not have to come here again after sending the village chief back, and he should be able to feed the pigs with Chen Qing in time.

He supported the village chief, and when he turned around, he saw the eager light in Aunt Wang's eyes, but it was fleeting.

After all, Zhou Yuan was a person who escaped from death on the battlefield. After seeing the look in Aunt Wang's eyes, he knew there must be something wrong.

He quickly looked around the entire ancestral hall, and his excellent memory allowed him to see clearly that there were two people missing at the table where Aunt Wang was sitting. The village chief's family had three sons, and she was the only one who accompanied Aunt Wang. daughter-in-law.

At this moment, only two of the three daughters-in-law were here. He thought about it and realized that the husband of the youngest son of the village chief's family was not here.

I thought back to when I was eating, his wine glass was always under my nose, so it was probably nothing wrong.

Zhou Yuan was full of suspicions. The journey back to the village chief's house from the ancestral hall was not too far. When he walked to the door of the village chief's house, he felt something was wrong more and more.

Seeing him helping the village chief back, Zhang Ran, the young man of the village chief's family, smiled and said, "Would you please send dad back and drink a glass of water before leaving?"

Zhou Yuan pushed the village chief towards him and said, "No need. , I still have something to do."

Zhang Ran didn't want to touch the village chief's body, so he didn't pick him up hard, so the village chief fell to the ground along his body.

Zhou Yuan was like this and didn't want to care about this anymore. He stepped forward and wanted to leave, but Zhang Ran blocked the door: "It's just a glass of water. Are you serious that you don't want to give the village chief this face?"

Zhou Yuan sneered: "Do you think you can stop me?"

Just as he was about to take action, a figure suddenly jumped out of the room, holding a wooden stick in his hand and hitting Zhang Ran on the back of the head.

Zhang Ran also fell to the ground, right next to the village chief.

After Wang Shan saw Zhou Yuan, he dropped the stick in his hand. Before Zhou Yuan could speak, he immediately said: "It was my aunt who deliberately let me wet my clothes and set you up. You won't be able to explain it at that time. You You have to marry me..."

Zhou Yuan looked at his clothes that were soaked and looked away with just one glance: "I understand."

Wang Shan looked at him: "What are you going to do?" "

Isn't that Zhou Yuan? Clay man, since the plot was all on him, there was no need for him to worry about the village chief's face. He saw the glass of water on the table that Zhang Ran had wanted to give him, and asked Wang Shan to feed it to him.

Wang Shan listened to his words and fed Zhang Ran the water in the bowl, but he swallowed half of the water and spilled half.

"You go back to the house and change clothes, your husband-in-law will wake up soon." Zhou Yuan glanced at Wang Shan.

Wang Shan immediately knew what he was thinking: "I know what to do, you go quickly."

Zhou Yuan nodded and saw someone coming here from a distance. He immediately turned around and walked out of the main room quickly. Exited the other side.

In the room, Zhang Ran was awakened by Wang Shan's action of feeding water. He felt the heat rising in his lower abdomen, and subconsciously hugged another body next to him.

Wang Shan in the room saw the opportunity and immediately opened the door. The moment he opened the door, he screamed and panicked.

Aunt Wang here brought the fastest-talking aunt and her husband in the village. After hearing Wang Shan's scream, she felt that the matter was over: "What happened..."

Her confident smile completely froze on her face because she saw the village chief rolling with Zhang Ran in the main room, and Wang Shan, who had originally screamed, was now standing helplessly at the door of Zhang Ran's room. , and Zhou Yuan, who was supposed to be here, completely disappeared.

At this time, the two people saw many words that they could not hide in each other's eyes.

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law are still in the village chief's house! This is really a big talking point in the village.

Wang Shan looked panicked, as if he knew he had done something wrong. He regretted it very much at the moment, so he said to Aunt Wang: "Aunt, my husband-in-law brought me back to change clothes. He was waiting for me outside. I heard my uncle's voice. I thought about changing my clothes before coming out, but I didn't expect..."

Aunt Wang became so angry that she went crazy. She first pulled the village chief, and then slapped Zhang Ran in the face. At this time, Zhang Ran really woke up, but how could he He didn't expect that there were so many people in the hall at this moment, and his father-in-law was still pressing on him!

He was slapped twice by Aunt Wang, and now he looked at Wang Shan fiercely: "Mom! It's him, it's him who hurt me!"

Wang Shan shrank and stood aside, and the two of them were now convinced. After all, no one noticed the smile on the corner of his mouth when he lowered his head.

The village chief was still drunk, so the noise could not wake him up. He even hugged the person next to him and continued to sleep soundly.

Just now, they wet Wang Shan's clothes as Aunt Wang said. Zhang Ran said that he would accompany Wang Shan back to change clothes, so it would be good to have someone to cover them.

But unexpectedly, on the way back, Zhang Ran would taunt Wang Shan in various ways: "You bitch, you can't wait any longer. Do you want to drag him to the kang right away?"

After all, Wang Shan is a brother who has not yet left the cabinet. Son, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he just pretended that he couldn't hear what Zhang Ran said.

Zhang Ran thought that he was too soft-spoken, and what he said became more and more offensive. Wang Shan turned around and said, "Stop talking."

"Are you afraid of what others will say if you dare to do something?" Zhang Ran snorted.

"Hurry up and sell yourself to save the money for your brother's gift." Zhang Ran snorted, "Hurry up and take off your clothes. It's best to take them off slowly so that everyone can see them."

Wang Shan saw that he was getting more and more excited. It got harder and harder to say, but he still held it back. As soon as he returned to the house, Zhang Ran locked him in the room and waited in the main room for Zhou Yuan to come to the door.

The medicine bottle he found yesterday was the medicine he and Meng Bing used on weekdays. It was only on the night of his wedding that he found out that Meng Bing was just a good-for-nothing, and that he would be left a widow after marrying.

In order to appease him, Meng Bing bought some medicine for the room, but even so, Zhang Ran never felt happy.

The more he suppressed it, the more he wanted it. Until he saw Zhou Yuan, the itch in his bones became more obvious, until he heard his mother-in-law's plan.

That's why he had this plan. Even if it doesn't work out today, Zhou Yuan won't be able to marry a husband. Then all the opportunities in the future will be his. Anyway, Zhou Yuan is very domineering in the village. Even if something like this happens, there will be no one. If he dares to cause trouble for him, let alone that bastard Meng Bing, he won't be able to cover up the fact that Meng Bing is not a man.

I just didn't expect that the variable Wang Shan was missed!

So things started to break out, and no one cared about Wang Shan. Wang Shan ran back home. How he explained it to his family was his own business.

The village is the worst at hiding things. Almost that night, the incident between the village chief and his daughter-in-law had spread in the village. Some people said it vividly, as if they were sleeping under the bed of the village chief's house and knew everything. Got it crystal clear.

Naturally, Chen Qing's family also heard about this. At this moment, Li Xin was also in the yard. Chen Qing couldn't hold it back: "Did you really catch someone?"

Li Xin nodded: "Really, Aunt Kang and Niu Amo in the village , I saw it clearly. When Zhang Ran saw that the matter was exposed, he started talking about his nephew. It was such a big show."

Li Xin thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "It's my cheap brother. "I sent the village chief back, why wasn't he there at the time?"

Chen Qingcai said, "He said he just took a few sips of wine and came back to feed the pigs with me."

Then Zhou Yuan came in, holding another set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. : "Here you go."

Li Xin answered unceremoniously: "Tell me, I wasn't at the scene right away."

Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue impatiently. This matter was originally directed at him. He was just treating the other person in his own way, and there was no need for Chen Qing to know about the twists and turns.

"I will just send the person back to the main room and leave. Who knows what will happen next." Zhou Yuan didn't care, "It's getting dark, why don't you go home?"

Li Xin glared at him: "Then why don't you go back? ? You haven't even gotten married yet and you treat other people's houses as your own all day long, so you're not ashamed."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Chen Qing quickly acted as peacemaker. As soon as he said a few words, he saw Qi Shuning at the door. He smiled at Chen Qing: "I'm here to take Xinxin home."

Li Xin got goosebumps when he heard the word "Xinxin". He picked up the box in front of him and wanted to beat Qi Shuning, but he could blow the wind. The fallen figure withdrew his hand and handed the box to him: "This is a gift from my eldest brother."

Qi Shuning was surprised and saw a set of pens and ink inside. He wanted to refuse, but heard Zhou Yuan say: "You are the only one in our family . Scholars, take it and use it."

Then he really accepted it.

Then Li Xin walked up to him and said, "If you call me Xinxin again, I will beat you to death."

Qi Shuning just smiled and said goodbye to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing stood at the door, watching them leave, and then shouted: "Xinxin, come back and play again tomorrow."

Li Xin:...
