35. Nephew
Wang Liuwu was working in the fields with his family. He was shocked when he learned that the General's Mansion sent someone to give gifts to his family.
He waved his hand to the man who came to report the news and said: "Ah Zhao, don't make fun of me. My son has become an official. You can no longer bully me."
The man apologized and smiled: "Uncle Liuwu, how dare I make fun of you? In the past, it was because I was ignorant. You are the elder. Please don't be the same as me. If I ever offend you, just treat me like a piece of shit and kill me."
Let go."
Wang Liuwu said: "Then you are not joking?"
"It's no joke, the carriage is parked in front of your house, and the manager of the General's Mansion is here! Xiaoqi and Mr. Wang are also back together!"
Wang Liuwu was about to go home with two feet of mud. His eldest daughter, who had just returned home yesterday, straightened up and said, "Dad, take Heidou back with you. He, he misses his uncle too."
A child of three or two years old raised his dark little face and said, "Mom, I don't want to."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and dug into the mouse hole, trying to dig out some mouse winter food from inside.
"No, you want to."
"No, I'm afraid of uncle."
"Then are you afraid of my mother's soles?"
The child dragged Wang Liuwu's clothes back dejectedly. When he saw the big carriage at the door, he suddenly cheered: "Grandpa, big horse, big carriage, big carriage!"
There were many people standing on both sides of the street, including men coming back from the fields with hoes on their shoulders, women coming out from washing clothes, and most of them children and teenagers. Everyone's faces were filled with curiosity and awe when they saw Wang Liuwu appear.
They all paid attention.
Wang Liuwu was habitually humble, nodding and bowing to those around him.
Seeing his father coming back with his nephew, Wang Qilin threw his hand and inserted the demon knife into the ground and said with a smile: "Hey, dad, where did you pick up a child?"
The child quickly wiped his face with Wang Liuwu's clothes and gave him a flattering smile: "Uncle, uncle, it's me, I'm Heidou, the Heidou you hugged during the Chinese New Year."
"Who is Jiujiujiu?" Wang Qilin asked.
The toddler blinked.
"Then have I hugged you?"
"I hugged you, I hugged you. You scared me so much that I peed all over you."
Wang Qilin sighed: "I really remembered it after you said that."
The child was a little afraid of him, and because he was shy when there were many people around him, he hugged Wang Liuwu's thigh and stuffed his head into his clothes.
Wang Liuwu greeted the housekeeper, then took the child out and said, "Heidou, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what your mother told you?"
Heidou thought hard and said, "I forgot, I forgot."
Wang Liuwu smacked his lips: "You kid, have you forgotten what your mother taught you, what will your uncle say when you see him?"
Heidou nodded quickly: "I remember it. I remember it."
"say what?"
"When you meet your uncle, you need to be polite, be affectionate with him, and say nice things to him."
Xu Da and Xie Toad laughed loudly.
Wang Liuwu said helplessly: "This silly boy, oh, hurry up and say something nice."
"Uncle," the young boy racked his brains and said, "I wish you a long life and a son soon."
Wang Liuwu was about to glare, but Xu Da came up and said with a smile: "Stop scaring this kid. Hey, boy, look what is this?"
He opened his palm, and inside was a handful of fried broad beans dipped in salt particles.
The toddler suddenly grinned.
"Your name is Black Bean, and this is broad bean. Here, black bean eats broad bean." Xu Da teased him and said.
The child was so happy that he squatted at Xu Da's feet with broad beans in his clothes and started to eat them.
After eating two, I thought about it and hurriedly went to give one to Wang Liuwu and Wang Qilin.
Wang Qilin rolled up his sleeves and said to his father: "Dad, I went to help General Huang with some small things. General, you are so polite. I must bring some gifts for you and my mother and sister."
Wang Liuwu asked in a low voice: "Why are you so capable now? Can you work for the general?"
Wang Qilin said: "I went to dig manure and plow the land for him. I must have this skill, right?"
Wang Liuwu sneered: "Don't make fun of me."
He opened the door to clean up the side room, while Wang Qilin took Xu Da to move things.
Xie Toad was sitting at the door basking in the sun: "The old Taoist doesn't have convenient hands and feet, so he won't help."
Xu Dadao: "You are just lazy."
Xie Toad threw out a talisman and said: "Otherwise, Mr. Wang, how about I fold a paper man and do it for you?"
Wang Qilin smiled and said: "No, it will scare people to death."
Xu Da said with a shy face: "How about you break a woman? Don't break it like Huang Qingyun and her second mother. I won't touch the women of the military family."
"I'll fold a sow for you!"
"Can it be eaten? If it can be eaten, you can break off pigs and cows and sheep. We don't open a brothel, we open a butcher shop."
Thank you for admitting defeat.
He thought he would never see anyone more mean and shameless than Xu Da in the rest of his life.
The gifts were brought down and the butler took his leave.
In the eyes of old farmers like Wang Liuwu, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion was an unattainable big shot, so when he saw that he was leaving, he called all the men in the family over to see him off: "Heidou, come here quickly."
Wang Qilin introduced: "Uncle Ding, this is my nephew. Don't think he is stupid, but he is actually smart. Come to Heidou and call for help."
Heidou tried his best to pretend to be smart: "Uncle Ding."
Wang Liuwu smiled awkwardly and said: "That's right, that's right, Heidou, this is your Ding family grandpa, I want to give you a big gift to your Ding family grandpa."
Heidou immediately knelt down and said, "Hello, Grandpa Ding."
Boom boom boom, three sounds!
Wang Qilin raised his head and closed his eyes, unable to bear to stare: "You don't need such a big gift, are you planning to send your Grandpa Ding away?"
Butler Ding quickly touched his arms, took out a silver baht and handed it to him.
Wang Liuwu shook his head repeatedly: "It can't be done, it can't be done."
Butler Ding said: "Yes, kowtow money."
Heidou was surprised when he got the silver baht, and then looked at the people watching the fun, and they quickly dispersed.
Mrs. Wang Lu and her daughters came back at noon and saw boxes and boxes in the side room. The women were overjoyed.
Wang Liuqiao didn't care about washing his hands and touched the dressing table first: "Oh, mother, come and see, there is a bronze mirror on top. This table is really beautiful."
Wang Liuwu shouted: "Wash your hands, wash your hands quickly, look at your mud, you look like a bunch of local monkeys."
The boss, Wang Qiaoniang, cleaned up her son and asked, "Have you said hello to your uncle?"
Wang Qilin smiled and said: "Asked, I almost wished me immortality."
Heidou giggled and secretly stuffed the broad beans into his mother's arms: "Eat it quickly, eat it quickly, don't let dad see it."
Wang Qiaoniang got married early and was somewhat familiar with him. After saying this, she didn't know what to say and went to help pack things.
Mrs. Wang Lu looked at the baskets of silk and satin with a face full of joy: "Now that Xiaoqi has become an official, he has money and things. Now it's good. Our family finally has a dowry. The third and fourth sons will take care of it."
Get married first."
This is sad to say.
There are six daughters in the Wang family and one son. This son is a bit weird because the family has no money and no status.
Intermittently, only two of the six girls were married off, and no one wanted the remaining four.
Wang Liuwu looked at his son proudly and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoqi is now an official, and this matchmaker is about to break our door. Come, today the general's house sent some chicken, duck, pig and mutton.
Let’s cook a table of delicious dishes for lunch.”
Heidou hurriedly ran into the kitchen and stood on his toes, leaning on the stove with his arms to look up, swallowing as if drinking water.
Wang Qilin came over and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
