Chapter 6 chapter Five

After all, Dad, your son, I finally understand why Lan Zhou hates women! real?Come on, why? Because of mother. your mother? Yes, mother, she is naive and stupid, weak and crying, she has no opinion on anything, when she is in trouble, she will only cry for help, she will cry for thirteen hours out of twelve hours a day, whimpering at every turn , and cried louder and louder. To be honest, except for Dad, probably no other man can bear it, including me, my wife only shed tears for me twice, and I almost went crazy! This is your mother's temper! I know, but Lan Zhou just hates it! Could it be that your mother is responsible for his distaste for women?

Not only that, but also the second aunt! Don't tell me he hates his own mother too? That's right, Dad, but as I told you, he hates his old lady too. Then why? The second aunt didn't talk, no matter what she was happy or unhappy, the second aunt didn't say a word, it was so tiring to keep asking people to guess what she was thinking! Lan Zhou himself is neither talkative nor talkative. That's different, a man's reticence is due to his character, and a woman's reticence is due to her temper! It's all about you! Besides, Lan Zhou just doesn't like to talk, and the second aunt is almost dumb.

That's right. besides besides? ! Fourth Aunt is too treacherous and cunning, people always want to hang her up and whip her! But it takes a woman like that to suppress your fourth uncle's fiery temper! Only fourth uncle followed her style, and other men were disgusting! Uh, this one, cough cough Then Aunt Six Wait, wait, your sixth uncle and sixth aunt were able to be together after a life-and-death parting. Why does Lan Zhou hate your sixth aunt again? Too headstrong, too domineering! so what?No matter how willful your sixth aunt is, no matter how domineering, if your sixth uncle says a word, she will turn into soft fingers!

Ke Lanzhou just can't understand the vicious look of Aunt Six! Tsk, it's none of his business if you don't want to go to him again! In addition, Aunt Seven's young lady has a very bad temper. She gets angry at every turn, and when she gets angry, she can turn the world upside down. Her babbling and scolding alone can cause the Great Wall to collapse. It's good that your seventh uncle can bear it! Finally, look at the girls in our family, which one is not as temperamental as their own mothers?Either willful or cunning, either crybaby or dumb, either too weak or too strong, including my own wife, she is a good woman, I love her to death, but in my conscience, sometimes she It's too strong

Stop, stop, don't you want to tell me that all the women in our family are the reason why Lan Zhou hates women? Exactly. but but I know what dad wants to say, Lan Zhou only sees their bad side, their good side can only be understood by their husband, but how can you blame him, after all, he is not the husband of any of them! This is really dumbfounding, I didn't expect the culprit to be my own family! Mmmm, Dad, you finally understand! In this way, it is not easy to find a woman he likes! Not only is it difficult to find, it is also rare and hard to find! That's not the case, it's just that you can't be weak and cry like your mother

But it can't be too strong and brutal. You can't be quiet like your second aunt But don't talk too much. Can't be as treacherous and cunning as your fourth aunt But don't be too naive and stupid. You can't be willful and domineering like your sixth aunt But you can't be opinionated. Can't be as hot-tempered as your seventh aunt But it can't be temperless at all. Dad? Alas, rare and hard to find! That's right, it's rare and hard to find. If Lan Zhou really can't get a wife for the rest of his life, I think our whole family will have to commit suicide together to apologize!

Stop bullshitting!But how do you know? The second aunt told me! yeah?Your second aunt told you, so she really said a lot this time! without. without? Saying one sentence every day took more than two months to finish, which adds up to a lot, but is one sentence a day too much? One sentence a day? admire! But in comparison, there is a guy who patiently listens to dumb Yan Luo's words every day for more than two months before finishing his words, that is really powerful and great! The old man bowed down! I don't know when he will start singing? Looking at the bamboo pole-like back in front of her mischievous eyes, she muttered to herself, pretending to be grimacing and sticking out her tongue. Along the way, she didn't know how many times she had done such childish actions.

It has been more than a month since they left Nanyang, and they have been walking in this way, one in front of the other, exactly seven steps apart, even if she quickened her pace to catch up with him, it would be useless, because her husband is amazing, There was an extra pair of eyes on the back of his head, he obviously didn't turn his head to look at her, but he just knew her every move. As long as she quickens her pace, he will also quicken her pace: if she deliberately slows down, he will also slow down: if she stops, he will also stop. In short, there is always a distance of seven steps between them.

Although her mother taught her to know the universe, she didn't read many books, and she heard many idioms but didn't understand the meaning, because the mother's emphasis was on women's ethics, women's morality, and women's merits, and everything else was secondary. Yes, just know it, you don’t need to know too much. If you don't take the No. 1 Scholar exam, why do you know so much? So even if she asked, mother might not explain it to her! !Maybe Mother herself didn't understand, so she had to figure it out by herself. But now, she finally understands a little more about what it means to be a husband and wife.

Just like the current situation, the husband-in-law is walking in front, and she is following behind, curiously waiting for when will he start singing? Maybe he didn't know how to sing at all, so he had to play around like this?He muttered, and stuck out his tongue again. Luckily she didn't have her feet bound. Because mother forgot, she didn't know if mother really forgot, or if she forgot on purpose, in short, mother never mentioned the matter of binding feet. Fortunately, this is the case, now she is able to follow closely behind her husband and son-in-law, and always keep a distance of seven steps. The four-legged snake crawled to the ground.

But People are not wooden people, and their feet will be sore! She complained softly, her feet stopped involuntarily, she clenched her fists and abused her thighs hard, but her eyes secretly looked forward. Sure enough, someone in front also stopped, but she didn't turn back to visit her. There are only two times when the distance between them will be shortened. One is when he stops to eat, because he wants to give her half a steamed bun, and he can't get close to her, unless he throws it on the ground for her to pick up, please wait a moment half? ! Her appetite is not large, but after walking like this for a whole day, half a steamed bun is not enough! However, she can understand, looking at him like that, it will be difficult to raise him himself, and if she feeds another mouth, no matter how small it is, even if she is just a small ant, the situation will only be more difficult, never No progress, unless he was going to eat her as a suckling pig roast. Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing angrily. In fact, before leaving Nanyang, the eldest brother secretly gave her a hundred taels of silver notes, but after she collected them, the eldest brother warned her not to use them indiscriminately, so as not to hurt her brother-in-law's self-esteem. How does she know what is called abuse? Well, since she doesn't know what it means to use it indiscriminately, then she simply doesn't use it, so she will never use it indiscriminately, right? Alas, if you get it, you don't get it! However, this is not difficult for her. When she lived in the Chen family mansion, she also learned how to dig sweet potatoes and pick wild fruits from refugees. If she was lucky, she could even find a nest of bird eggs, and even encountered injured hares The pheasant can be caught with the hands without any effort, and it can be beaten with ease. For example, just now, at the side of the paddy field she passed, she just dug a few times and found three sweet potatoes. Mrs., I dug up three sticks of sweet potatoes, here, two sticks for you! She kept the smallest one, and Mengmeng held two large sweet potatoes in both hands, and presented them to her husband in a flattering manner, hoping that he would give her another face. It's so boring to always face an expressionless face, thanks to his good looks! However, probably because she felt that two sticks of sweet potatoes were not enough, someone just gave her two words as a charity, no need.Immediately, he gnawed on half of his steamed bun. Does he not like sweet potatoes? Confused, he took back the sweet potatoes, a little discouraged, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, yes, too much sweet potatoes will fart, gentle people don’t like farting, what should I do if I accidentally blow out all the fuss in my head ?Pick the wild fruit next time and give it to him. That husband, I'll give it back to you, she generously handed back half a steamed bun to her husband.You are a man, you should eat more, I just eat sweet potatoes.Anyway, she doesn't have much in her head, so it doesn't matter if it's all gone. Unexpectedly, someone put her half of the steamed bun back into the burden, and continued to eat his own half of the steamed bun. Mengmeng blinked her eyes, and finally realized how poor her husband and son-in-law were, that they couldn't even eat half an extra steamed bun! Well, she understood this point, but she was even more confused by another point. Since his medical skills are so good and the cost of saving people is so expensive, why is he so poor? Where did the rare treasures he earned go? She was really curious, and wanted to ask every time she saw his bony face, but her mother had also taught her that some men's affairs were not suitable for women to ask about, so she thought that should be it, so she also I dare not ask casually, I can only ferment it in my head. Do you want to rest, Mr. Xiang? By the way, this is another situation that will bring the distance closer. Although they marched all day and almost never stopped, when it got dark, he would definitely stop and find a place to sleep, but they never spent the night in the inn, it would be best to have a dilapidated temple or a large deserted house It was in the wilderness, where the torn blankets were laid out on the ground to make do with sleeping, and even if they passed through towns, they would go around the city.Unless you want to buy steamed buns. And just like the wedding night, they never slept together, they always slept on both sides of the fire, one on the east bank and the other on the west bank, facing each other across the Chu River and the Han border. Sleep till dawn. Xianggong, where are we going, the north?Because it's getting colder. Changbai Mountain.Someone built a fire and spread a blanket without even looking at her. Is your home in Changbai Mountain?Otherwise, why would you deliberately choose this time to go to that kind of freezing place. no.Take the burden and take the steamed buns. Don't give me steamed buns, I picked a lot of wild fruits on the road, enough to eat, you can eat steamed buns! Take back half a steamed bun and stuff it back into the bag. Xianggong, you don't like to talk, do you?She ate wild fruit. Um.He ate steamed buns. Can I say that? Can? Can't? Just take it as it is. My husband, I think you are very bad. You took me away after only two days of marriage. My elder brother said whatever he wanted, but you refused to stay for one more day. I don’t care, but my elder brother will be worried and my younger sister will be sad. ah! Think about it, we haven't known each other for long, let alone my elder brother, he doesn't understand you at all, how can he not be worried if you just take me away like this? And my younger sister, now that I think about it, I still have a lot of things to teach them, I am really remiss as the eldest sister! Besides, since your medical skills are so good, why don't you save more lives?You are not allowed to call you doctor, what a weirdo! In addition, you are obviously very good-looking, why do you always have a stiff face? That's right, that's right, Brother Zhang also said Shut up! Yes, my husband. sleep. Yes, my husband. So they each lay down and went to sleep. This was their life along the way, very boring and very boring, because not only did he not like to talk, he didn't even walk with her, she was almost walking this journey by herself. However, since Jiji's year, she has been mentally prepared. Sooner or later, she must leave her dear family and marry a strange husband. This is the inevitable destination of all women in the world. What's more, her mother had repeatedly warned her before she was alive that after she married once a day, her husband was heaven and her wife was earth. She had no right to do what she wanted, and she had no right to interfere with her husband's affairs. She could only obey orders. Obedience all the way to the end, her husband said east, she can't go west: her husband wants her to climb, she can't walk: even if her husband wants her to die, she can only accept her fate, she can't say no, she can't even get angry.so He wants to keep a distance from her for safety, no problem, she just chirps behind the hen like a chick. He doesn't like to talk, it doesn't matter, she just said it, anyway, she is used to talking to herself, otherwise the husband and wife are not dumb but they don't talk, isn't it strange? The only thing that bothers her more is why doesn't he touch her? Can't he? The winter in the north is icy cold, heart-piercingly cold, Mengmeng doesn't know why her husband-in-law doesn't seem to feel the almost freezing cold at all! !Maybe it's because he is so thin that he has no flesh to feel, but she can't, she is very cold. When she left Nanyang, she didn't expect to come to the north, so she didn't buy some thick clothes and padded jackets. At this moment, she had put on all the thick clothes, but it was still cold, and her upper and lower teeth started to chatter. Sir, do you have any thicker clothes that you can share with me? Jun Lanzhou kept silent and threw his baggage to her. She opened it hastily and almost cried. His clothes are all the same, thin long gown, she can't believe how much warmer he will be if he puts on this kind of clothes. Mrs., can I buy a padded jacket to wear by myself? Jun Lanzhou still didn't say a word, but turned her back to her. She didn't know what that meant, but she was sure that it would never mean happiness, because she always turned her back when she was unhappy. people. Well, no, then she had to find another way. So she began to beg for some old and unnecessary cotton batting from others along the road. After the amount was enough, she used the time of sleeping at night to sew the cotton jacket by herself stitch by stitch by the fire. One for her husband-in-law and one for herself. Mr. Xiang, although this padded jacket is a bit crude, it should still keep you warm.As she spoke, she presented the padded jacket with both hands.Do you want to wear it? Jun Lanzhou stared at the cotton-padded jacket for a long time, then raised his eyes and stared at her for a longer time, there seemed to be a trace of expression in that eyes, but it disappeared when he looked carefully, still pupils without emotion, but He took the cotton-padded jacket, put it on slowly, and then turned around to continue lighting the fire without a word of thanks. Even so, Mengmeng was still very happy. I thought he would definitely refuse, because he doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, and the cotton jacket may be unnecessary for him, and because he has never accepted anything from her, whether it is sweet potatoes, yams, or wild fruits. Whether it's good or bird eggs, he doesn't accept it. Now that he finally accepts this padded jacket, how can she be unhappy? But she couldn't be happier about another thing. The further north she went, the colder the weather was, the less she could find sweet potatoes and wild fruits. In the end, she had to share half a steamed bun with Jun Lanzhou to eat, but half a steamed bun was really not enough to fill her stomach, but she was not good. Asking him again, after several days of trouble, she finally thought of a way. Anyway, as soon as she stopped, he would definitely stop and wait for her, so she started asking along the road if there was anyone who could let her do part-time jobs. There were quite a few inquiries, but they were all about washing clothes. Washing clothes in winter is the most vicious and cruel torture in the world, but the moment she received the wages, she immediately forgot the pain of being tortured, and immediately ran to buy hot steamed buns, which she held to her husband with joyful hands. In front of my son-in-law. Xianggong, this steamed bun is just out of the oven, do you want to try it? Once again, Jun Lanzhou stared at her slender hands that were red with cold, and frostbite had begun to appear for a long time, then picked up her eyes and stared at her for a longer time, the eyes clearly showed a trace of incomprehensibility Then, he took the steamed bun slowly, instead of putting it in the bag, he ate it immediately. Mengmeng was so moved that she almost shed tears, this was the first time they ate hot steamed buns together! By the way, my husband, when I went to buy steamed buns just now, a ruffian came to tease me, but he just touched my skirt, and immediately jumped away screaming. Was that also Nine Days Screaming? no. what is that? Thirteen jumps. What's the meaning? After jumping wildly for thirteen days, the toxicity resolved itself. Hilarious. Mr. Xiang, may I ask who named this? my brother. Uncle again!However, Mr. Um? Your brother is so cute! It's a pity that the hot steamed buns can't be eaten for a few days. The closer the Changbai Mountains are, the less populated there are, and I don't have to do odd jobs to do laundry, and I don't have hot steamed buns to eat. Mrs., today is New Year's Eve! Um. Is there still only half a steamed bun? one. Oh, then at least we'll find an inn to start the game, right? Won't. Oh, will that take a few days off? On the road tomorrow. Oh, then what are we going to do in Changbai Mountain? herbs. Herbs? In order to gather medicine, they have to rush like this, and even those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't rest for a few days? Sir, may I speak? Let it be. Mr. Xianggong, you are really, really bad. During Chinese New Year, at least eat two dumplings! If you don't have money to stay in a hotel, you can find a temple! After working hard for more than two months, will you die if you rest for two days? And it's just for medicine Shut up! Yes, my husband. Eat your buns. Yes, my husband. Sleep after eating. Yes, my husband. No more words! One more sentence. What? Can I call you an asshole?
