Sibao, who sat quietly under the willow tree all morning, was hungry before lunch time.

Aunt Yu was still working, and Sibao was reluctant to eat the jujube in her hand, so she could only watch the woman who was talking to her mother squatting under the lotus leaf to eat pancakes.

Sibao was so greedy, he couldn't help swallowing quietly, and stretched out his hands to rub his hungry stomach.

I really want to drink rice porridge, I really want to eat cornmeal paste, and I really want to eat sweet potatoes.

Alas, this aunt's pancakes look delicious too.

The aunt saw Sibao staring at her intently, with the big cake in her hand.

A thought flashed in her mind, the aunt got up and moved towards Sibao, raised the pancake in her hand, and gestured towards Sibao with winking eyes.

Si Bao looked at her half-eaten cake, and at her old face covered in mud, and turned his head in disgust.

I can't help but think, this aunt is really strange, how can the cakes she has eaten be shaken in front of others, she really doesn't like to be clean at all.

"Are you hungry, Yu Family Four Treasures?"

Seeing Sibao turn his head away, the aunt just thought she was embarrassed, so she followed Sibao's face and came up to her and asked.

Sibao was a little frightened by her like this, and was really hungry when she was hungry, but she didn't dare to move with this big face in front of her.

Under the offensive of the aunt's muddy face, Sibao moved back without hesitation, and stuck his whole body on the trunk of the willow tree.

Now the aunt realized that Sibao was disliking her, her ugly old face collapsed, and she glared at Sibao.

"You heartless dead girl, my mother kindly asked you if you were hungry, but you are fine, and you still despise my mother, you are really a fool."

In a word, I didn't even take a breath.

Sibao didn't know whether he understood or not, so he just looked at her expressionlessly, which made the old lady feel like a fool.

The aunt then said angrily: "I forgot, you are not only stupid, but also dumb!"

Because Aunt Yu was still working in the pond, the aunt's voice was not loud, and she said it close to the Four Treasures.

Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by Liu Xiulian who came to deliver the meal.

"Widow Zhang, just talk when you talk, it's okay for you to talk nonsense here, why are you still scolding Master?"

With a food basket on her arm, Liu Xiulian squeezed her round body over, forcibly separating Widow Zhang from the Four Treasures.

With just the right amount of puzzlement on his fleshy face, he stared at the widow suspiciously.

The widow couldn't help but take a few steps back, and almost fell into the pond.

"Yo yo, Widow Zhang, you have to take it easy, don't fall, our Yu family can't afford this responsibility."

Seeing this, Liu Xiulian continued to speak resolutely, the puzzlement on her face changed to a mockery.

Simply invisible.

The cake in Widow Zhang's hand was tightly held by her, and she almost passed out of anger. She glared at Liu Xiulian fiercely, and said, "Well, you daughter-in-law of the Yu family, do you still have a little education? With you like me Did the elders speak?"

Liu Xiulian didn't like her at all, put the food basket in her hand on the ground, started to roll up her sleeves, and said in a disdainful tone: "What does it have to do with you whether I am educated or not? Or did you catch my sister-in-law?" Does scolding make you educated?"

Widow Zhang, who was speechless by Liu Xiulian's words, threw the cake in her hand on the ground, and raised her hand angrily to greet Liu Xiulian's face.

Liu Xiulian covered her head and shouted pretendingly.

"Beat someone, beat someone, Zhang family widow beat someone!"

The sound was so loud that it reached the ears of other women in the lotus pond, and also beat up Widow Zhang who hadn't hit Liu Xiulian, and then she was dodged by Liu Xiulian, and finally came to nothing.

Sibao, who was looking at the food basket on the ground, heard the two quarreling, and just lifted the veil covering the food basket with his hands, and was startled by the roar.

Unhappy, he covered the veil on the food basket, and Sibao looked angrily at the two quarreling.

Aunt Yu on the other side ran over after hearing the sound, looked at the angry Widow Zhang for some unknown reason, raised her hand in front of Widow Zhang, and protected Liu Xiulian and Sibao behind her.

"Aunt Zhang, what are you doing? How come you started fighting with the younger generation when you are doing well?"

While speaking, several other aunts also looked at this side one after another, and two of them even stepped forward.

As a woman whose husband died before the age of 30, Widow Zhang was used to bullying the weak and fearing the hard. She was as timid as her heart, and she only dared to yell a few words in front of Sibao.

When there are too many people in this meeting, Widow Zhang wilts instantly.

He could only shake his arms angrily, and walked towards another place.

Si Bao was annoyed by so many people watching, in the past, he would be stoned if he was watched by so many people.

Restlessly wrapping his hands around his head, Sibao lowered his head nervously, waiting.

Aunt Yu at the side understood Sibao's movements immediately, and she wanted to hug Sibao in distress, but she just bent down, and she didn't dare to hug Sibao because of the dirt on her body.

On the other hand, Liu Xiulian who was on the side reacted quickly, hugged Four Treasures, and said to the big ladies who surrounded her, "It's okay, all the big girls are busy with their own business."

Then she turned her head and said softly to Sibao: "It's okay, it's okay, they all went away."

He also raised his hand and stroked Sibao's back a few times.

The gentle reassurance made Sibao calm down, slowly put down the hand covering his head, looked around, and then exhaled cautiously.

Widow Zhang, who couldn't say or scold, ran away long ago.

Aunt Yu didn't know what to say about this matter, Liu Xiulian just felt very unlucky and didn't say anything. After serving Sibao and Aunt Yu after dinner, she led Sibao back home.

Back home, there was no one else in the room, only the young Yu Xiaoqing fell asleep in the room.

The first thing Liu Xiulian did when she returned home was to see her son.

Sibao went back to the house by herself, and she still held many dates in her hands.

Then he took out his cloth pocket from under the quilt, and there were already many dates in it.

But it's all wilted and not very fresh.

Those stale dates were not yet ripe, and their color changed from green to reddish at first.

This is obviously not Sibao's favorite color.

Sibao took them out with disgust and put them on the table one by one, and put the freshly picked dates into the cloth bag.

Patting the bag lightly, Sibao put the bag back under the quilt, and took the stale dates from the table.

Get up and walk to the backyard.

The goats in the sheepfold in the backyard were leisurely grazing, very comfortable, their small eyes following the figure of Sibao.

Sibao threw all the dates in his hand into the trough.

Unclear opening: "Eat."

These jujubes have turned red, and the four treasures don't like them anymore, so I'll give them to you to eat. Anyway, the grass the lamb eats is also bitter, and it's unpalatable to death.

Sibao looked at the green grass in the trough, and a bitter taste appeared in his mouth again. The taste he tasted last time is still fresh in Sibao's memory.

In the evening, the eldest treasure of the Yu family had to go up the back mountain to fetch some grass to feed the sheep, so he didn't leave with Old Man Yu.

The old man from the Yu family who went back alone ran into Yu Erbao on the way.

Yu Erbao stood in front of a broken tile house, as if he was communicating with someone.

After the old man from the Yu family got closer, Yu Erbao had stopped talking with that person and came towards him.

The old man of the Yu family turned his head to look at the broken tile house, then at the second son who was walking towards him, and asked him with a puzzled face: "The cripple Zhang lives in that house, what do you have to do with him? "

"Ah, Dad, it's Cripple Zhang, he just stopped me and said a few words."

"What does he want to say to you?" The old man of the Yu family didn't understand even more. After thinking for a while, he continued: "He is a lame man, he is very old, he is ignorant, he wants money but he has no money. Don't follow his example, and make people break their legs by doing sneaky things."

Yu Erbao's eyebrows twitched involuntarily when he heard his father's words getting more and more outrageous, and he dragged the old man of Yu's family to the side of the road.

"Father, he's a lame Zhang, and he doesn't have much money, but doesn't he have a pond?"

While talking, Yu Erbao winked at his father and pointed to the east side of the village, where there were ponds and lotus ponds of various households.

The old man of the Yu family followed his fingers to look over there, enviously said: "Don't tell me, a pond as big as an acre is really ruined by his cripple."

The Yu family only had less than two mu of land in the village, not to mention ponds, which were only available to wealthy families.

For a long time, the old man of the Yu family wanted to buy a pond, but unfortunately the family had no money and failed to produce a son who could make a lot of money.

"No, what does this have to do with us?" The old man of the Yu family was envious, his thoughts drifted back, and he still didn't understand.

Yu Erbao stopped playing around with him, and said directly: "The lame Zhang called me just now to talk about the pond. He said that the pond can be given to our old Yu's family."

"Is there such a good thing?" The old man of the Yu family asked in disbelief.

"Of course not." Yu Erbao didn't take his father's astonishment seriously, and continued, "He must have the condition, Zhang Laizi. It depends on whether our family can agree."

The face of the old man from Yu's family suddenly collapsed, with a look of disdain on his face, he knew that this cripple could give this pond to himself so well?

That's not a designation, but the mother is still asking for conditions. My family's life is so tight, what can be worth this pond, it's really embarrassing.

Without waiting for Yu Erbao, the old man of the Yu family walked forward sullenly, and Yu Erbao behind him hurried to catch up.

"Father, father, don't rush to leave, just listen to me."

The old man of the Yu family turned a deaf ear and walked forward on his own, while Yu Erbao yelled in a low voice and chased after him.

"Our family can definitely afford this condition!"

Yu Erbao seemed to see what his father was thinking, and simply let out a low growl.

Sure enough, Yu Erbao's affirmative tone stopped the steady steps of the old man from the Yu family.

She turned to him and asked, "Really?"

Yu Erbao nodded: "It's more real than pearls."

"Then tell me quickly."

Yu Erbao walked up to old man Yu in a few steps: "Isn't he lame Zhang not begging for a wife?"

Old man Yu nodded, that's right, he is old and still a bachelor. Could it be that he wants the Yu family to find him a wife?

Thinking of this, old man Yu frowned, looked at the dilapidated tile house in the distance, and then at his second son.

"You are also 25 and six, and you haven't found a wife yet. Do you want to help him find it first?"

"That's not the case!" Yu Erbao was really going to be annoyed by his father's brain circuit.

So he put his mouth close to his father's ear and whispered.

After listening, the old man of the Yu family pushed Yu Erbao away, with a face full of disbelief, and stayed where he was.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know who Zhang Laizi is?" Old Man Yu stared at Yu Erbao: "Have you promised him?"

Seeing old man Yu's serious expression, Yu Erbao was a little nervous, and couldn't help rubbing his fingers on his trouser legs: "I haven't agreed yet, isn't this a discussion with you?"

Old man Yu walked towards the house in some distress, scratching his head with his hands, as if he was thinking about something, and kept silent.

Yu Erbao knew that his father had something on his mind, so he didn't dare to speak again, so he had to follow his father back home.

After a long time, when the two of them reached the door of the house, Old Man Yu hesitated and said, "You and I agreed to this matter, but your mother wouldn't agree either."

Yu Erbao has been paying attention to his father's expression, seeing him like this, he knows that his father may have agreed to this matter in his heart, so he continued to talk.

"You are the head of the family, so you are not the only one who has the final say on this kind of thing?"
