Lin Ze walked into the yard of Brother Lu’s house and was a little surprised to see that the yard was cleaned in an orderly manner.

People say my second brother is stupid. How can a fool be so diligent? How can a fool marry a good wife?

Many lazy people in the village have piles of straw everywhere in their yards. They cover the corn with a layer of snow and don't even know how to sweep the snow and turn the corn over. There are many cases where it will become moldy due to moisture in the coming year.

Lin Ze still remembered that in the yard of Er Ge Lu’s house, the corns were crumbling and the rats were running rampant in his house. No one wanted to come to his house.

Moreover, the second brother is a bit crazy. He talks nonsense all day long that sounds confusing but makes his whole body feel uncomfortable as if there are thousands of mosquitoes and lice scurrying around his body. It is much scarier than the magic spells of the dancing master.

.

At this time, his eyes were like those of a dead person, staring straight at the person looking at him, and his lips opened and closed rapidly, like a dying fish.

With such a ghostly appearance, not to mention the adults in the village, even the children and dogs were howling and running away.

However, he occasionally wakes up. When he is normal, he also knows how to comb his hair neatly, cut his nails short, and put on starched and washed clothes. He will occasionally light a stove in the yard to bake potatoes and eggs.

However, when he was eating, Lin Ze was not sure whether he was normal. Although he seemed to calm down and act a little more normal, not like a fool, and his eyes were clear and alert. But he actually took out the yolks of the eggs.

Give it to the mice!

What normal person would do this?

Those dirty and ugly mice that were as dusty were crawling around his crotch and feet without restraint, but he was calm and even smiling, as if they were the cutest and most lovable elves in the world.

Everyone was afraid to avoid Brother Lu. Even the soldiers who once wore armbands did not dare to enter the yard after such a shocking behavior.

But it’s also strange. Since the rats in Brother Lu’s house became swarming, the mice in other families in the village have basically disappeared. Lin Ze’s mother often said: “It’s all thanks to Lu Erdan!”

Every time she said this sentence, she always thought of Brother Lu's tragic fate when his house caught fire and his parents were burned to death when he was a child.

If she were thinking about it while they were talking to each other at this time, she would definitely wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and sigh: "If he hadn't experienced this kind of blow since childhood, this child wouldn't have become a fool. He was scared! After a while, the buns are wrapped and I'll give you Lu.

Second brother will send some over!"

"Mom, he is a fool, and the yard is full of rats. It smells like rats, so I won't go there!"

Once upon a time, Lin Ze was also very disgusted and afraid of this fool, but his mother threatened him. She held up a rolling pin and threatened: "Are you going?"

Lin Ze had no choice but to bring the buns there, and did not dare to enter the hospital. He only shouted outside the hospital: "Fool, my mother will give you food!"

Then he put down the buns and ran away without waiting for the people in the room to agree.

Sometimes he would sneak into the corn field on the other side of the road and secretly watch to see if the fool could understand what he said and come out to get it. It turned out that every time Brother Lu would bow in the direction of his house after picking up the buns.

Gradually, Lin Ze was no longer afraid.

But he is different from normal people after all. How could an educated young man like Ruan Mingyu fall in love with him and marry him?

In addition to being able to control rats, does Second Brother Lu have any other special qualities that would make Sister Mingyu, the most squeamish educated youth from a big city, willing to live with him and a group of rats?

Lin Ze made random guesses and walked to the door.

There is a Spring Festival couplet posted in front of the door, with beautiful handwriting, neatly written in black on a red background, and the spaces between each word are the same, as if they were bought outside.

"Brother Lu, is your sister-in-law at home?"

Lin Ze knocked on the door and shouted.

With a "squeak", the door opened, but the person who opened the door stunned Lin Ze, and he even forgot to say his New Year's blessings.

"Brother, you are here."

Lu Er said, he was very polite, nodded to him, and let him enter the room.

"Come inside, it's cold outside."

Is this still the Lu Erdan I met before? Could it be one of his relatives?

The person in front of me had freshly shaved hair and was clean. He was wearing a bright red sweater with a white shirt collar exposed at the collar. The collar was also clean without any dust. He was wearing what looked like newly made black cotton pants underneath.

, there is no bulge in the knees, and although the cotton shoes under my feet are old, there is no mud at all on the edges.

When he was talking, Lin Ze noticed his face. His skin was neither black nor yellow, his chin was smooth, and his teeth were not yellow.

Lin Ze entered the house dully.

"Second brother, who is here?"

A familiar voice came.

Lu Er quickly turned around and said in a voice that could melt the snow on the roof: "It's Lin Ze, the one from Uncle Lin's family who goes to work in other places."

"Keke, it's Lin Ze!"

With a string of pleasant laughter, the door curtain of the stove in the north room was opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing a floral cotton jacket and a red apron came out.

"Lin Ze, you've been back for several days, why did you think of visiting me?"

There was no doubt that the voice was Ruan Mingyu, but looking at her body shape, it was comparable to the Sun Erniang mentioned in the book. She was not like this when he saw her before he left in the summer!

Ruan Mingyu saw the surprise in his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, don't we recognize each other? It's all your fault. Your second brother thought I was too thin. He always went hunting game in the mountains and made me fat.

, come in and sit down!"

After a while, Lin Ze realized what he was doing. He suddenly pushed away the Sandingzi that Lu Er was holding and said, "Second brother, sister, you two, stop cooking and come with me to the courtyard to eat."

Ruan Mingyu and Lu Er looked at each other and said: "We won't go there, the chicken is stewed in the pot, your kind sister and your second brother understand."

"Oh, this year doesn't pass in one day. Let's save it for tomorrow. There is a Spring Festival Gala tonight, and everyone in our village will go. Let's have New Year's Eve dinner together and watch TV together."

Just after saying this, Lin Ze noticed that Brother Lu's face looked a little bad, but he didn't take it seriously for a while.

Ruan Mingyu glanced at her man, pulled Lin Ze aside and said, "Your second brother has finally returned to normal in the past six months. He can still say a few words to you when you come, because you used to always give him

You were nice to him when you gave him food. But other people in the village regarded him as a madman and a fool, and they all avoided him.

When we got married, we just went to get a certificate and went to a restaurant and that was it. No one in the village called anyone, and there was no banquet. Today is New Year's Eve, and we just want to spend our time quietly, and there are so many people today.

Everyone, everyone is happy, it’s time for us to go and spoil everyone’s happiness. I’ve accepted your wish, come to my place for dinner when you have time, your second brother is willing to have you come.”
