Chapter 21: The Preaching of Liu Huanzhang and His Wife
The sun is listless and gradually sets in the west. The spring cold is over and the temperature begins to drop.
On the way back to Nanxun, a gust of cold wind blew, and Liu Yong felt a soreness in his nose. His feet stepped on the muddy path covered with chicken claw ice, making a "click-click" sound. His body began to sweat, and his feet began to sweat.
numbness.
When I got home, Yu Hui, the wet nurse, and Hong Ying were playing with Xiao Dongmei in the house.
Seeing Liu Yong coming back, Yu Hui quickly said: You are back. When you come back, prepare to eat.
Hong Ying saw that Liu Yong's body was covered with muddy water and his shoes were wet. He stood up and said distressedly: "Wait a minute, let him wash his face and feet first to warm them up before eating."
Liu Yong actually didn't dare to look at Hong Ying directly. When he saw his figure, his face felt hot. It would be a lie to say that he didn't like her.
Hong Ying first filled a basin of water for washing the face and brought it to the room, and then filled a basin of water for washing the feet and brought it to the room.
Liu Yong washed his face, rolled up his trouser legs, put his feet in the basin, and suddenly felt warm all over his body.
Hong Ying, who was standing aside, knelt down to help Liu Yong rub his feet.
Liu Yong quickly stopped with his hands and said: I will do it by myself, I will do it by myself.
At this time, their eyes met for a rare moment, and their faces turned red at the same time.
Hong Ying calmed down first and said: No matter from which point of view, it is natural for me to rub your feet.
Liu Yong asked strangely: Why?
Hong Ying said: Just for one reason.
Liu Yong smiled sheepishly and said: What's the reason? How can you ask your sister to rub your brother's feet?
Hong Ying was speechless and just rubbed Liu Yong's feet carefully.
Liu Yong squinted his eyes, as if a warm current flowed to his body, and he felt relaxed all over.
Hong Ying said: People's diseases start from the root. There are 88 acupuncture points on the soles of the feet. Massage can dredge the meridians and promote blood circulation.
Liu Yong felt that Hong Ying knew a lot and was not a country girl at all. He joked and said: From now on, you have to rub my feet more often.
Hong Ying was silent. He helped Liu Yong rub his feet and wipe them clean. He then said: I will be your servant for the rest of my life. I picked up the footbath and walked out.
Liu Yong looked at Hong Ying's back as she carried the footbath out, thinking about what she had said.
Since the weather has been extremely cold these past few days and his old problems have returned, Liu Huanzhang has been staying in bed.
Sister-in-law Ying specially cooked some porridge for Liu Huanzhang, but Liu Huanzhang only ate a small bowl.
After Liu Yong had dinner, he also came to his father's room.
As soon as Liu Yong entered the door, he said: Dad, are you feeling better these days? How is your appetite?
Liu Huanzhang let out a long sigh and said: Oh, this is an old problem of mine. Anyway, it’s like this and it won’t get better all of a sudden.
Liu Yong sat on the edge of Liu Huanzhang's bed.
Liu Huanzhang took Liu Yong's hand and said: Ah Yong, Your Majesty, you are also a businessman. In the eyes of most people, "no businessman, no traitor". In fact, this is absolutely not the case. God is watching what people do.
It is for the benefit of future generations. When doing business, you should do something big or far away. The villagers have worked hard for many months to gain a small fortune in this area. How can you take advantage of it to deceive others and deceive yourself? In the future, if you do anything against your conscience,
From now on, I will never die in peace.
Liu Yong said: My father's sincere teachings are engraved in my heart. You can rest assured and recover. I know that being convenient to others is to be convenient to yourself. These are the basic principles. In business, people cannot stand without trust. Integrity is the foundation of life.
.
Liu Huanzhang nodded, smiled and said: Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. It's not just for others, it's also a way to maintain good health.
Liu Yong said: If you do something that is unfavorable to your heart, you will never feel at ease. You will inevitably be worried and stay up all night, which is harmful to your health. If your heart is not weak, your strength is not lacking, and you can sleep and eat well, so it is good for your health. The child knows the reason.
Liu Huanzhang nodded and said with a smile: It’s good to know the truth, it’s good to know the truth.
Liu Yongniang, who had been sitting there, listening to the conversation between father and son, started to interrupt. She said: The family situation is getting better and better, which is all due to the blessings of Bodhisattvas and the good deeds accumulated by my ancestors. I am really happy. The only problem is that I don't see my grandchildren. Life is unfilial.
, no last comes first.
Liu Yong smiled and said: "I have no heirs. My mother's words are serious. Dongmei was not brought from the hall, she is also my own flesh and blood."
Liu Yongniang said again: Hey, my daughter, if she is raised to be 100 years old, she belongs to another family and will eventually get married.
Liu Yong smiled again and said: Grandchildren are actually the same, they are all descendants of the Liu family. What's more, we are still young. In the future, I will give you more children and make noise in the yard all day long. Then, don't get bored. Just in case.
Dongmei is a daughter. When she grows up, why not hire a son-in-law?
Liu Yongniang smiled and said: When she grows up, I'm afraid your father and I are no longer here. I see is believing. I mean, given the current strength of the Liu family, it is reasonable to marry another woman.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Mom is going to preach again. How can I not accept your words from the bottom of my heart? Only this matter. According to mother's wishes, it is best for you to marry Hong Ying again and give you more grandchildren.
If you have many blessings, you will be satisfied.
Liu Yongniang smiled and said: That's right. If you ask me, Miss Hongying is smart and capable, can take care of housework, and is beautiful. If she is willing, we can marry her through a matchmaker. Besides, since ancient times, there are many people who marry maids to be second wives.
.
Liu Yong said with a smile: You two take good care of yourselves and stay healthy, which is your greatest blessing. Stop worrying about this kind of thing. I only have Ah Hui in my heart. I also hope that my mother will never mention this kind of thing again.
Especially Hong Ying, it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed if he eats from the same pot and gets along day and night.
Liu Huanzhang also said: We are all men, and it is valuable for men not to be moved by foreign flowers. I do agree with Ayong's point of view.
It was not too early, so Liu Yong said goodbye to his parents and came out.
Liu Yong walked to the yard and saw Hong Ying still washing clothes under the moonlight.
Yes, when I came back just now, my clothes were all covered in mud and water, and I changed a lot of clothes.
Liu Yong went over and said embarrassedly: It's so late, are you still doing laundry?
Hong Ying then raised his head, glanced at Liu Yong and said: I just coaxed Xiao Dongmei to sleep, and now I am free. Hey, there is still one sock missing. I thought you guys had rested, so I didn't bother you. You go back to the room.
Look for it, find it and bring it.
Liu Yong returned to the room, and Yu Hui squinted her eyes and leaned on the bed. Seeing Liu Yong come in, Yu Hui opened her eyes and said: You went to dad's place, how is he now?
While looking for socks, Liu Yong said: It's the same old problem. It will get better when the weather gets warmer.
Yu Hui asked: What are you looking for?
Liu Yong said: Hong Ying was doing laundry and said he was missing a sock.
Liu Yong finally found the socks next to the foot of the bed, took them out and gave them to Hong Ying to wash.
Liu Yong stood there stupidly, watching Hong Ying wash clothes. He felt that this family, Dongmei, and himself were indeed indispensable for Hong Ying.
