Nanshanxia

Chapter 3

I don't know how much time has passed, and it was time to eat. At first, the old lady Zhu wanted Zhu Yan to eat in her room, but Zhu Yan refused. Zhu Yan didn't want to be pampered all the time, so she simply went to the main room with Yuan Xiao to have dinner with her. Everyone eats.

When Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao entered the room, everyone was sitting at the dining table, waiting for the old lady Zhu to distribute the food. They all said that the family is most complete when eating, and it looks good. Zhu Yan also started Searched for the original owner's biological father in the crowd, but still couldn't find it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Grandma, where is my father?"

The old lady Zhu's hand, which was serving rice for everyone, suddenly froze. If Bai Zhen hadn't caught the rice ball that was about to fall to the ground with a bowl, the snow-white rice would have fallen to the ground.

"Ah Yan, it's okay to mention what your father is doing, you have the right to treat him as dead."

Because of Zhu Yan's words, the atmosphere in the family once again fell into silence. There is an unwritten rule in Zhu's house. If the old lady is angry, no one should even think about eating.

Zhu Yan was sharp-eyed and found that all the cousins ​​at home stopped moving like cats, and even grandpa and uncle stopped talking. Only then did Zhu Yan realize how damaging his words were.

"Grandma, if you don't like to listen to me, I won't ask. I'm hungry, let's eat!" Zhu Yan knew that if he didn't sacrifice himself to show off his cuteness, everyone might not be able to eat hot white rice. He still has a lot of things to do If you don't understand, you can't offend your relatives from the beginning. As for your own father, you will definitely have a chance to find out later.

The old lady Zhu listened to Zhu Yan's grandma, with a cold face for a long time, and finally showed signs of recovery. She thought that her grandson had just recovered from a serious illness, and it was a good thing. He turned around and said to Zhu Yancixiang, "Don't just stand still when we eat, white rice, eat as much as you want today and work hard tomorrow!"

With the order of the old lady Zhu, the members of Zhu's family began to eat. Putting aside the unhappiness just now, everyone is still very happy now, because they finally all ate white rice.

The peasant family is not as good as the big family in the town. Every meal has good rice and good meat. They can earn some money for food after a year of hard work. The treatment is rare, rice is served with bracken and platycodon pickles with chili noodles, let alone more rice.

For a moment, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding was left in the main room. Zhu Yan was different from everyone else. Zhu Yan stared at the bowl of egg custard in front of him and fell into deep thought. He also learned from the memories of the original owner that the original owner would eat an egg for every meal, so everyone has already become immune to the bowl of egg custard dripping with sesame oil in front of Zhu Yan.

But this does not mean that Zhu Yan is immune. Zhu Yan fell into deep thought. The original owner was a fool before, and he could eat alone, but he couldn't. At the same time, an adult man must not act like this.

When Zhu Yan asked the old lady if the egg custard was appetizing, he took the spoon in his hand and scooped up a spoonful of trembling and extremely delicate egg custard, put it into the old lady Zhu's bowl, and then Under everyone's amazed gaze, they scooped up a spoonful for Yuan Xiao and the others.

"Brother Yan, is this for sister?" Zhu Chunya looked at Zhu Yan with bright eyes, and from time to time swallowed while looking at the delicate and smooth egg custard in her bowl. In the past, she could only look at Zhu Yan. It was Yan's part to eat, but now that the egg custard was in her bowl, she was a little excited and didn't know what to eat.

Bai Zhen glanced at her gluttonous daughter, and hurriedly called Zhu Chunya's name, "Chunya, egg custard is for brother Yan, so don't be greedy."

"But brother Yan put it in my bowl, I don't care." Zhu Chunya rolled her eyes, and when Bai Zhen wanted to stop her, she stuffed all the egg custard in the bowl into her mouth and ate it. Don’t forget to give a refreshing sigh, “Wow, egg custard is so delicious!”

"Chunya, when did you become so ignorant!" Bai Zhen knew that her daughter was capable of work and looked good, but her only and most fatal flaw was her greedy mouth. It’s hard to say about the farmers who plan their food in the soil. Dare I ask which poor man is willing to support a greedy woman?

"Bai Zhen is fine, she ate everything, why are you scolding her? Ah Yan is also kind, eat what you scoop into your bowl, how can there be any reason to pour it back?" said the old lady. The words made Bai Zhen stop talking. She saw that everyone was eating together, and she also took a bite of the egg custard in the rice bowl. Her eyes were full of kindness and she looked at Zhu Yan, who was chewing bracken and pickles, "Ah Yan, what is this?" When you grow up, but you don’t need to feed it to us in the future, what grandma gives you is yours, you don’t have to worry about what everyone thinks, no one dares to speak of you in this family.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand, sat up straight and calmly denied: "Grandma, you are my relatives, if you treat me well, of course I will treat you well."

The old lady Zhu who always only loved her grandson, after hearing Zhu Yan's words, she immediately nodded her head with emotion. Her eyes would shed tears as soon as she blinked. She didn't blink, she just wiped her eyes with her hand with a smile, Zhu Yan picked up a chopstick of food, and said comfortingly: "Okay, you are really Grandma's grandson, and Grandma didn't love you for nothing, and Grandma will wait for you to honor you in the future."

**

After a meal, it was evening, and everyone started to clear the table. The old lady Zhu Yan took care of Zhu Yan's health, so she didn't keep Zhu Yan, and let him go back to the room with Yuan Xiao to rest.

In the ancient rural life, once it was evening, there was nothing to do. Zhu Yan entered the house after washing, watched Yuan Xiao light the candles, and sat silently on the edge of the kang.

Yuan Xiao raised his head and happened to meet Zhu Yan's eyes that were exceptionally bright against the candlelight, he paused what he was doing, looked at Zhu Yan who was still sitting upright in doubt, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Yan? Do you want to rest? I will lay a kang for you."

"Oh, no, I'll do it myself, you don't have to help me."

"Well, you do it first, and call me if you're tired." Yuan Xiao considered that Zhu Yan was no longer stupid, so he didn't insist on helping, he turned around and began to make his own bed.

"I can do this little thing, don't worry." After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he took off his shoes on his own initiative, and began to re-spread the quilt on the kang. After the quilt was laid, Zhu Yan found that the kang looked In fact, he was the only one lying down, because the bedding was for one person.

Where does Yuan Xiao sleep?

The question in Zhu Yan's heart was answered when he looked up again. It turned out that there was a very narrow single wooden bed under the window. Zhu Yan didn't notice it at first, but now he looked at Yuan Xiao's back and forth. Only by spreading the bedding can we pay attention.

Zhu Yan watched Yuan Xiao make the bed, and then lay down under his nose, with his back to him, but he didn't know if he was asleep or not. Only then did Zhu Yan know that although he and Yuan Xiao were said to be husband and wife, He has never shared the same bed, and through the memory of the original owner, he also knew that the original owner didn't like other people to be close to him since he was a child, especially when sleeping at night. It is for this reason that Yuan Xiao got a wooden bed with a width of one person.

Because this day was too frightening, Zhu Yan also lay down on the kang and stopped talking. He recalled the series of miraculous experiences that happened that day. He still feels that all this is a dream. How nice it would be to live in a dormitory.

I don't know how long it has passed, the night is late and people are quiet, Zhu Yan can only hear the chants of insects and beasts outside, he still hasn't fallen asleep, he turned over, and heard Yuan Xiao's wooden The bed also made several "creak" and "creak" sounds.

Zhu Yan couldn't stay idle any longer, so he quietly hooked up with Yuan Xiao and said, "Yuan Xiao, you haven't slept yet?"

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere condensed for a while, and Yuan Xiao said after a long time, "Not yet, Ah Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Xiao's voice was originally clear and soft, but now because he deliberately lowered his voice, it sounded a bit gentle. Zhu Yan listened with fascination, "I'm not uncomfortable, I just want to talk to you."

"Well, what do you want me to say?" Yuan Xiao who was lying on the wooden bed blinked his eyes and looked at the roof, silently waiting for Zhu Yan's reply.

Zhu Yan was stunned for a while, and then told Yuan Xiao what he was worried about, "Did my father do something bad? Why didn't grandma let me mention him? I can't remember anything about him Things, a little curious."

"He has done a lot of bad things, but I also heard some from my aunt. If you want to know, I will tell you." Yuan Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then reminded Zhu Yan, "I will tell you about this matter." I can tell you, but you can't let Grandma know, otherwise Grandma will definitely blame me."

"I will keep it in my heart after you say it, and I won't tell others." Zhu Yan made a promise, and then began to listen to Yuan Xiao talking about the original owner's biological father Zhu's second child.

It turned out that Zhu Yan, the original owner's biological father, married Zhou Guixiang, the original owner's biological mother, not out of sincerity, but valued Zhou Guixiang's hard work and willingness to make money. After a few years, he gradually realized that Zhu Yan was a fool, so he stopped perfunctory Zhou Guixiang Guixiang left Zhou Guixiang and Zhu Yan, who was still underage, at home, and spent the whole day drinking and drinking and never returning home.

Zhou Guixiang also went to look for Zhu Lao Er for the child, but Zhu Lao Er drove them back. Once there was a heavy rain at night, Zhou Guixiang waited for Zhu Lao Er outside for a full two hours. They were all drenched, and it was also from that time that Zhou Guixiang's body became worse day by day, and finally passed away quietly when Zhu Yan was still a minor.

The old lady Zhu is very hot-tempered, because this matter has been cleaned up, Zhu's second child, but helplessly, Zhu's second child is not afraid of boiling water, and within a hundred days of Zhou Guixiang's departure, she brought Widow Li from the village into Zhu's house. What kind of person do you wish the old lady?It was absolutely impossible for her to raise such a pair of dogs and men. Regardless of other people's obstruction, she took Zhu Lao Er and Widow Li to the clan ancestral hall, and broke up with Zhu Lao Er and separated their family in front of the whole village.

Zhu Yan clenched his hands tightly after hearing this, thinking that he might as well not know, co-author Zhu's second child is a scumbag, and it is precisely because this scumbag spends his days drinking and despising the original owner that the original owner does not remember One trace is about Zhu Laoer.

Zhu Yan calmed down for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I might as well not know."

"That's why grandma doesn't want you to know." Yuan Xiao didn't hear Zhu Yan's reply for a long time, turned around quietly, faced the direction of Zhu Yan's kang, and looked at Zhu Yan's place under the moonlight, only then realized that Zhu Yan was opening his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes closed, he paused, and asked suspiciously: "Are you angry?"

"No, thinking about something."

"Oh, nothing else, I'm going to sleep."

Zhu Yan yawned, his eyes finally couldn't open, and he followed Yuan Xiao and said, "I'm asleep too."

After a long time, Yuan Xiao opened his eyes again, looking at Zhu Yan who had fallen into a deep sleep, his eyes were dim and unclear. When Zhu Yan was a fool before, he was not easy to get along with. People are elusive.

Yuan Xiao looked at Zhu Yan's back wrapped in a quilt and pondered for a long time, then sighed, and said in his heart, no matter what, as long as he takes care of Zhu Yan according to what Zhu Yan's mother told him before his death, he will do the rest. Stop thinking about it.

Yuan Xiao closed his eyes, and all the disasters of that day emerged in his eyes, his crying, the ruthlessness of his parents, and the redemption of Zhu Yan's mother, all these made his closed eyes open again, and the originally clear All kinds of hatred are brewing in the eyes.
