Bai Xin tightened his grip on the broom, took another step forward, raised his face, and asked loudly, "Second Aunt, what are you talking about? I can't hear you?"

"There is a mother-born, no mother-raised little bastard." The second aunt thought he couldn't hear, cursed, and then stretched out her hand to hit Bai Xin, forgetting to ask him to keep his voice down, and then shouted , "I'll tell you to keep your voice down, it's not yet dawn, and your second brother is still asleep!"

This person is the daughter-in-law of the second room—Second Aunt Xu. The second room has two children, Bai Erlang and Bai Erniang. The whole family supports a boy like Bai Erlang to study. He has been in the village before, and this year he went to study in the county. All the money was spent on him, and almost everyone talked about Bai Erlang's ability to become a high-ranking official in the future.

How could Bai Xin let her hit him? Throwing the broom, he was about to crawl into the house. He shouted as he ran, "Oh, my second aunt hit me, second uncle, come out quickly, second aunt is going to beat me to death!" gone."

Xu stretched out her hand and waved it empty, she couldn't help being stunned, and then saw Sanlang rushing into the house, screaming like a butcher, she couldn't help but cursed secretly, and raised her foot to chase.

Bai's mother, Cao, heard her son's cry in the kitchen, and she didn't know what was going on. I saw the door of the second room's room flapping.

It's hard for Bai Xin to call anyone now, Grandma Bai must be biased, the first wife can't point it out, the third wife hasn't come out yet, only Second Uncle Bai, he can't openly protect his wife.

Sure enough, Bai Xin didn't take two steps, and bumped into a tall and thin man head-on. The room was not too big, and Xu had already chased after Bai Sanlang, and he raised his hand to hit him.

Bai Xin took the opportunity to hide behind his second uncle and howled, "Second uncle, second aunt hit me."

Sure enough, Second Uncle Bai would not openly protect his wife. He straightened his face and scolded, "It's so early in the morning, what are you arguing about, Yue Niang, stop it, why are you serious with a child!"

Yueniang is Xu's boudoir name. When she heard the words, she stopped raising her hand in mid-air, and then let out a groan. Because of her son's success, in this family, she became more and more unambiguous.

"This brat!" Xu stared and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to curse, he saw another person walking out from the back room, wearing a blue shirt, with a cold face, as if he was out of place with the others, "It's so noisy early in the morning. , I still have a quiz today!"

The room suddenly became quiet, and Mrs. Xu turned off the fire in an instant, looked at her son, and put on an almost fawning expression on her face.

Grandma Bai heard the commotion, and ran over from the other main room in a hurry. Don't look at her age, her legs and feet are more agile. It's not like she didn't hear the commotion just now, so as soon as she entered the room, she went behind Second Uncle Bai to grab Bai Xin cursed, "Why did you get into a fight with your second brother about something that doesn't make people worry? Are you going to die?"

As she spoke, she patted Bai Xin on the back. Seeing this, Mrs. Xu showed a proud expression and hummed a few times. At this time, Erniang Bai also came out of the room. She followed her father's appearance, with a pair of small With small triangular eyes and broom eyebrows, she was hiding in front of her own brother to watch a good show. Seeing Sanlang being beaten, she had a gloating smile on her face and repeated, "Good morning, third brother!" Noisy, my second brother has a quiz today!"

Grandma Bai raised her hand high again when she heard the words. At this moment, a small figure rushed in from outside the house, inserted horizontally between Grandma Bai and Bai Xin, hugged the latter tightly, and took Bai Xin's place a few times. She didn't cry out for pain, but begged: "Grandma, don't hit third brother, he is just recovering from his illness."

It was Aunt Bai who ran in. Seeing that it was her, Grandma Bai felt even more annoyed. She was about to stop, but she couldn't help but slapped her a few times. Behind her was a thin body with a touch of warmth. There was a pain in his chest and heart, and he pressed his hand tightly on the rough little hand around his shoulder, with his head half-drowned, his face was terribly gloomy.

Bai Xin held back his anger and looked at Second Uncle Bai. He originally wanted to make a pitiful expression, but it was a little distorted, "I didn't do anything. Grandma asked me to sweep the floor. I did it well. Second Aunt came out and scolded me. Me, she was the one who quarreled my second brother."

Everyone cast their eyes on Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then scolded, "Little brat, if you hadn't been arguing outside, would I have scolded you?"

Bai Erniang leaned on her brother, and whispered: "Let grandma beat them."

Bai Erlang has studied for a few years, and he sees that everyone looks aloof and considers himself an upright gentleman. He moved around without any trace, and said calmly, "Forget it, I've already woken up."

Bai Erlang's words are like an imperial decree in this family, Xu Shi and Bai Erniang are both unwilling, the former cursed a few words in a low voice, but now Grandma Bai put all her attention on Erlang, she let go of her hand immediately, her drooping eyes narrowed into slits Line, and asked softly: "Erlang, get up, the kitchen is ready to boil water, wash it off quickly, and have breakfast after washing, your aunt is ready."

Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, Erlang has a quiz today, let him cook an egg for him!"

Grandma Bai nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, I'll let your aunt boil eggs."

Bai Erniang took the opportunity to say, "I want to eat boiled eggs too."

Grandma Bai ignored her, and Mrs. Xu also felt sorry for her daughter, but Grandma Bai didn't speak, and she couldn't say anything. Grandma Bai didn't seem to hear, she stepped out and shouted as she walked, "Cui Niang, cook two eggs."

There was no one in the room to talk to Er Niang Bai, her face turned red with anger, and she bit her lips tightly. Although Grandma Bai called Zhu Liang, everyone knew that these two belonged to Er Lang.

Bai Xin didn't say a word. He saw that Erlang got up half an hour earlier than usual today, and his face was not very good. He felt satisfied in his heart, and he didn't feel any pain anymore. He straightened up, and the aunt still held him tightly His hand, Bai Xin felt a little sorry for implicating her, but the aunt first asked: "Third brother, are you okay?"

Bai Xin shook his head, and the two left the house silently. At this time, even Sanfang's family came out. Standing in the yard and looking at the main house frequently was Sanfang Ding. Thin silver hairpins, a pair of beads the size of rice grains on her ears, wearing half-new floral clothes, behind her are two little girls in their teens, who follow her in appearance, with oval faces, big eyes, two The girls are all dressed in light yellow clothes. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a difference in age between the two, the one on the left is slightly shorter and has a more tender face.

There are only two girls in the third room, and they are the third and fourth. Uncle Bai is a helper in the county to earn money to subsidize the family. He only comes back for one or two days a month. Some things, although Grandma Bai's is also indispensable, and the first and second families occasionally give some symbolic gifts, but they are not as good as my own family, and you can tell just by looking at the clothes of the third and second families.

Ever since Bai Sanniang and Bai Siniang came out, Bai Erniang's face became gloomy, and her eyes couldn't help staring at their light yellow clothes.The Sanfang sisters are beautiful, and they can be regarded as two flowers in the village. In front of other sisters, they naturally feel that they are superior, and they unconsciously puff up their chests.

Bai Wuniang stood in the corner with her dog in her arms. She was only five years old herself, her small body was trying to hold the baby in her arms tightly, and her face was a little frightened.

Bai Xin watched coldly the waves in the courtyard, and clenched his fists tightly.

Grandma Bai was afraid that her precious grandson would be hungry, so she ordered Sanlang to set up a table. Soon, a dilapidated and wobbly table was placed in the yard. Da Lang also came back with water, and missed the noise. He obviously didn't know what just happened what.The whole family gathers for breakfast, the porridge in the pot is clear and watery, and the dumpling is steamed with black glutinous rice balls, which is the cheapest and most resistant to hunger. It seemed that a plate of cold bracken in the center of the table was almost caught in Erlang's bowl, and there was a pile of egg shells next to his bowl. He thought the egg yolk was choking, so he mixed it into the porridge, which looked thick and yellow, attracting attention. The other children looked straight and kept swallowing.

Because Bai Erlang was studying in the county, he left home after eating, and Grandma Bai and Mrs. Xu escorted him to the door until he could no longer see his shadow before turning around.

Seeing the flowered dress on Ding's body, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but feel sore in her heart. The two just met their gazes. She rolled her eyes, as if changing faces, and smiled, "The clothes on Erlang's body are all torn. You also know that he is no different than in the village. The children in the school are used to ganging up. They see Erlang's shabby clothes and ignore him. Auntie, why don't you ask your uncle to tear a piece of cloth for Erlang in the county and make a piece of cloth for Erlang? New clothes."

Mrs. Ding couldn't help curling her lips, thinking that it would be easy for you to touch your lips, and you don't need money to tear up the cloth, but with a smile on his face, he said unhurriedly: "Second sister-in-law, the third child hasn't come back for a long time. Every time I come and go in a hurry, I'm afraid I don't have time to pull the cloth. I also saw that Erlang's clothes are getting old. Why don't you go to the county town tomorrow to pull a piece of cloth for him? It will save him trouble if you make it earlier. Others look down upon it."

Xu's complexion changed, and she continued to say forcefully: "There is no need to worry these days, just wait for his uncle to bring a piece of cloth when he comes, mother, don't you think so?" Xu cleverly changed the topic to Grandma Bai.

This time Ding's face changed, Grandma Bai couldn't understand what the second daughter-in-law was thinking, but he was inclined to Erlang in his heart, and nodded immediately, "Yeah, Erlang's clothes are indeed old, let the third child pull a piece of cloth, just tomorrow I Go to the county fair, I will tell him."

Ding couldn't tear himself apart from Erfang, so he reluctantly agreed, but his stomach exploded with anger.Mrs. Xu just smiled smugly, and Mrs. Ding scolded her endlessly in her heart.

Grandma Bai also knew that the second room often took advantage of the third room, either asking for a piece of cloth or bringing some candy, and sometimes she simply asked Erlang to go directly to the county to ask the third child for money. Dalang at the table cursed, "Didling, leave the rest to Saburo, why don't you go to the fields and rake the ground!"

Dalang put down his work, glanced at Bai Xin, and wanted to say something to take a good rest, but knowing the situation at home, he sighed and whispered, "Don't get tired." , take care of them."
