Spring is in full bloom

Chapter 18: Xu Xing'er was beaten Hearing that, Li Shi slammed the bowl onto the table and shouted at Xu Xing'er, "what do you mean, girl? What happened before your father didn't come back? We don't care about you as a child. These days you talk with a gun and a stick every day, which is to die?" "It's just that you don't mention what happened before my father came back. Now that you've mentioned it, you can tell my father to listen to it and see if he's smoking me or you?" Xu Xing'er stood up and stared at Li Shi. "You..." there was still fish soup in Li's mouth, which almost came out. He quickly closed his mouth and swallowed it. He choked himself and coughed. It was not easy to slow down before he said, "do you still have some size? It's more and more not good!" "If I'm good or not, my parents will discipline me. There's no need for two aunts to worry about it." Xu Xing'er saw that his family had eaten well, so he directly got up to clean up the dishes and put Li's on the side. Xu Laosan didn't speak. When he went to the kitchen, he lit a cigarette in the kitchen, and went out to smoke. After squatting for a while, he felt that it was all mosquitoes. He simply got up to talk to Cheng Ge'er dad. Ye Shi glared at Xu Xing'er and said to Li with a smile: "her two aunts, Xing'er has been such a disposition since she was a child. She is young and doesn't know what she said. Don't go to heart." Li Shi pulled Ye Shi and said: "you don't know, your Xing'er is more and more ignorant now. It was just fighting with those children outside, and now it's bringing these problems to the home..." said the added oil and vinegar, told Ye Shi about Xu Xing'er's bumping against Xu old lady, and then patted his butt and walked away. When passing the kitchen, he also rolled his eyes at Xu Xing'er. Xu Xing'er inexplicably looked at her proud look and didn't pay attention to her. He lowered his head and continued to brush the bowl. Afterwards, he cleared up the kitchen, put everything back in place, wiped the kitchen, and swept the floor. He left a bit of the stove fire, covered it with wood ash, and kept it for two little guys to drink hot rice soup at night. After finishing all the things here, she turned around and went back to the house. She wanted to help Ye Shi feed rice soup to the two little ones, but didn't expect that Ye Shi was quick today, and had already been fed and coaxed to sleep. "Mom, the kitchen is ready. I'll carry the rice paste down. I'll get up hot at night, so you can sleep..." Xu Xing'er was ready to clean up. Before he finished speaking, Ye Shi picked up the brush and knocked hard on the edge of the Kang, saying, "Xing'er, come here and kneel down." Xu Xing'er is a little confused. He doesn't know what's going on. He looks at Ye Shi in confusion and asks: "mother, I..." "Kneel down!" Ye Shi raised his voice sharply. Xu Xing'er didn't want to make Ye Shi angry. He knelt down in front of her two steps ahead and listened to Ye Shi's question: "do you know it's wrong?" "Mother, don't worry about getting angry." Xu Xing'er recalled what he did these two days, and didn't seem to make any mistakes, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know what I did wrong." "How does Niang usually teach you? How can you talk to the elders like that?" Ye Shi saw that Xu Xing'er didn't know it was wrong, so angry that his hands with the Kang broom began to shake. Xu Xing'er understood that it must have been Li's words just now. It's no wonder that she had such an expression when she left. She half lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "mother, don't listen to the nonsense of two aunts. Her words are never accurate. One point can be said as seven or eight points by her. I've spoken to the milk side, but it's not a big deal..." "You dare to talk back to the elders, but you're not serious?" Ye Shi took the Kang broom and hit Xu Xing'er's arm several times. "No matter how you make trouble outside, you still behave to your family. Now you can't even do the most basic filial piety and obedience. I've always respected the elders since I was a child. How can you not know how to learn..." The more Ye Shi said, the more angry he was. His hands kept on pumping the broom on Xu Xing'er, and he cried as he cried. If it had been the former Xu Xing'er, she would have cried for forgiveness now, but now she has changed people's temperament. She only clenched her teeth and refused to make a sound, and resolutely refused to bow to admit her mistake. "Mother, don't hit the eldest sister, don't fight..." Ta'er wanted to come forward but didn't dare, so he was so anxious that he cried. Suo'er was also waked up and began to cry in the car. "You..." Ye Shi was soft and heartbroken, but he saw that Xu Xing'er was still unwilling to repent. He was angry and anxious, but he couldn't fight any more. He took the Kang broom and knocked hard on the edge of the Kang, "you child..." Xu Xing'er was beaten all over the body, and his thin body was kneeling and shaking, almost falling to the ground. Seeing that Ye Shi listened, he said: "mother, you always say you should be filial to the elders, you can't talk back and you can't complain, but what if the elders do it wrong? What if the elders deceive people too much? What if the elders are not worthy of respect "Where do you come from? It's said that there is no wrong parent in the world, and it's more so for ye Nai. There is a generation of people in the middle, who eat more salt than you eat. How can you..." Ye Shi was said by Xu Xing'er that he didn't know how to answer, and his hands were shaking with a broom. "Our labor force is small and there is a large population, but we are the only ones who think about our daily work. The eggs that grandma's family sent to you to mend your body were all milk and you didn't eat one." Xu Xing'er's eyes were filled with tears, but he was reluctant to let the tears fall down. He whispered, "last time Lizi washed three children, if I didn't hurry up to collect the things, now we can't even leave these two chickens, let alone other things. The uncles came to help them to work in the field. The big uncle and the two big uncles hid far away, and they couldn't wish that they couldn't do anything. On the second day, the big aunt asked me not to cut wheat for her... " "It's our fault that the tiger is gone. We brought a child from our hometown. They didn't like the milk, and they didn't care, so they thought of throwing it to our family. It's OK to raise it, and they didn't want to give rice to feed. Besides, they scolded their mother and didn't give birth to a son. It's like other people's families have sons..." I don't know when the house was quiet. Suo'er was crying and asleep. Ta'er was leaning against Xu Xing'er's arms, laughing and sobbing. Only Xu Xing'er had a little hoarse voice, which was the most clear. "Parents are honest people, so they prefer to suffer losses when they encounter problems, and even when they are angry, they swallow the pain in their stomach, but I am not angry. Even if ten fingers are long and short, they can't be so excessive, can't they?" Xu Xing'er hung his head and didn't dare to look at Ye Shi's face, and let go of the words he had been pressed in his heart for a long time. "I don't want to see my parents get angry, I don't want to see Ta'er bullied by them, I don't want to go to other people's houses every time I get rice and grain, if my mother thinks I've done something wrong..." the more Xu Xing'er said, the more choked his voice was, and the tears he just tried to hold were finally rolling down his face. In fact, she knows what the countryside looks like, let alone the ancient times in which she is now living. Even when she was a child in the previous life, the thought of son preference in the village is also very serious. There are many things that the mother-in-law bullies the daughter-in-law and treats the granddaughter badly. What's more, someone directly drowns the newborn granddaughter, saying that she didn't survive. She was also like Ye Shi in her previous life. She swallowed in front of the Lord's milk, saved money to study, and almost was sold to an old man as a daughter-in-law by her mother's grandmother. Although she finally made it to the top, but that kind of oppression that goes hand in hand makes her not want to experience again. Since God has given her a new opportunity, she needs to live according to her own wishes. Ye Shi listened to her daughter's words with tears. She didn't know what status she was in the Xu family, but she thought that as long as a man was good to him, other tolerance would pass, but she didn't expect that her tolerance would make the children bullied together. "Xing'er..." Ye Shi pulled up Xu Xing'er and put her in his arms. "Hiss!" Xu Xing'er took a breath of cold air. Just now, he was immersed in the mood, but he didn't feel so obvious. Now, he was hugged by Ye Shi, and he realized that he was all over the body, but there was no pain. Ye Shi pulled up the sleeve of Xu Xing'er, and saw that the red and swollen purlin had been hit on his arm. When he touched it a little, Xu Xing'er was grinning, and he was still holding up. "You are a child, the bigger and the more stubborn you are, the more stubborn you will be. You won't admit a mistake and take a soft one first?" Ye Shi was so distressed that she wiped her tears and said, "look at the injury. Quickly take the medicine and wipe it." Xu Xing'er pulled off his sleeve and covered some scary scars. He said, "Mom, it's OK. It's just a little skin injury. It'll be fine in two days. There's no such delicate thing." Xu Laosan just came back from the outside. He saw Ye Shi pulling Xing'er to wipe his tears. Xing'er's face was full of tears, but he was still comforting Ye Shi. He was shocked and asked: "what's the matter with you and your wife? What are you crying about?" "Wow -" Ta'er pounces on Xu Laosan, hugs his leg and cries, "I have to hit my elder sister." Xu Laosan hugged Ta'er and coaxed him. He turned his head to Ye Shi. He knew that Ye Shi loves children most, so he didn't complain in his tone: "Xing'er's temperament is like that. You don't know what to do with a good fight against children?" Xu Xing'er rubbed his eyes, stood straight and said, "it's OK. I used to talk back to milk, and my mother told me." "What a big thing, you say she can't just say a few words, but also hit." Xu Laosan looked at his daughter's crying red eyes, heartbroken, looked at Xu Xing'er and asked, "where is it?" Ye Shi had some regrets. After listening to this, she felt more and more that she was heavy handed. She looked at Xu Laosan with red eyes and was full of regrets. "It's OK, my mother is to let me have a memory." Xu Xing'er still doesn't have a good feeling and respect for Mrs. Xu, but she can understand Ye Shi's idea and doesn't want to make her angry. Seeing that she starts to shed tears again, he quickly changes the topic, "dad, you should rest early tonight, and tomorrow you will go to my grandma's house to send Zongzi."
