You Zuming asked his daughter to accompany the guests around Baimayi. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they went to a Taoist temple in a local scenic spot. The abbot, Taoist priest Mo Zhengqian, personally greeted him outside the gate. As soon as they met, he "ignored his conscience." He said: "I am a poor Taoist who looks at countless people. When I look at the two of them, they look like husband and wife. They are destined to be married in this life."
You Chengyuan turned his face away, but Chi Muduo smiled with a blushing face: "Thank you uncle for your kind words, this is the reason why I came." This sentence made his intention clear, and the next thing was to go with the flow, Daoist Priest Mo. As expected, the two young people became husband and wife.
In May of that year, on the day You Chengyuan got married, the bustle of Baima Yi could be described as vigorous. The red confetti left by the firecrackers spread from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and continued to float two miles away from the entrance of the village. After the wedding, Chi Muduo's Due to financial conditions, there was no need for his wife to go out to work, but no matter where he went, even in the barren mountains and abandoned temples and ancient tombs, You Chengyuan would always be with him.
Chi Muduo's work unit is the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. Its predecessor was the Cultural Relics Working Team of the Henan Provincial Bureau of Culture. It is a division-level unit directly under the provincial government. It enjoys full financial allocation and has an official staff of 86 people. It is also under the jurisdiction of It has multiple branches. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an unpopular unit that is not eye-catching, but it is not easy for non-professionals to squeeze into the official establishment here.
Later, through the help of Chi Muduo's mentor Mr. Wu Pingdong, he arranged for You Chengyuan to take a temporary position at a local archaeological work station under the jurisdiction of the institute, and then seconded him to work in the institute, so that she could follow Chi Muduo to other places for inspection and excavation. convenient.
Front-line archaeological work sounds mysterious, but in fact it is boring and the conditions are very difficult. If you work for a long time, you will inevitably suffer from rheumatism, spleen and stomach disorders and other problems. You Chengyuan followed her husband everywhere, even the soup maker took everything with him. She took care of her husband in an orderly manner and took good care of her husband's body. Having this wife was like a treasure. A year later, Chi Muduo was awarded a senior professional title, promoted to deputy director and enjoyed the treatment of a full director. , in charge of field archaeological surveys and excavations.
The relationship between the couple can be described as like-minded and like-minded. Once You Fang was speechless and asked Chi Muduo privately: "Brother-in-law, do you think my sister is beautiful?" Chi Muduo squinted his eyes and replied: " She is a little fairy in my eyes!" As expected of an archaeological expert, her aesthetic point of view is so unique that she can see Yaksha as a flying sky! You Fang is deeply impressed, and at the same time, he is very grateful to his brother-in-law.
You Fang's mother was frail and sick. After her daughter got married, she had a big worry and soon couldn't bear it any longer. She died in the spring of the next year. She had not suffered much in the years after marrying into the You family, but Sigu Mo had Such a strong mother-in-law will be suppressed in various ways in her life. It is not her turn to make the final decision on the big and small matters in the family. Even if she works with her husband and takes care of the housework and takes care of the children at the same time, she must not feel very comfortable.
My mother is different from other people in the You family. She is a standard rural woman who has been hardworking and simple all her life. She just got married when You Zuming's "career" was just starting. It was the most tiring time. After so many years of hard work, life finally got better. , but she did not enjoy any blessings. You Fang had an indescribable feeling. He felt that the whole family, including himself, owed his mother. His grandmother, father, sister and he were all "strong" in all aspects, but his mother was the only one. One person appears to be particularly weak in this family.
If You Zuming hadn't renewed his relationship so early and You Fang was still immersed in the sadness after his mother left, there wouldn't have been any conflict between father and son.
Only a year after his mother left, You Zuming once went to Luoyang for several months to do business. When he came home, he brought a fairy-like woman named Lan Qing. As soon as his father entered the door, he loudly greeted You Fang: "Chengcheng, hurry up."
Come here, call Aunt Lan!" Chengcheng is You Fang's nickname at home.
You Fang was seventeen years old at the time and was already very mature and sensible. He could tell at a glance what kind of relationship this woman had with his father. To be honest, Aunt Lan was very beautiful and charming in both appearance and figure. This just made You Fang
Fang felt a little uncomfortable. Moreover, she was too young. She was only twenty-six years old at the time, while her father was already forty-five years old.
Of course, Fourth Aunt Mo has the final say in all major matters at home. You Fang also said bad things about Aunt Lan in front of her grandma, thinking that she was not a good match for her father's age. Unexpectedly, Fourth Aunt Mo said carelessly: "If your mother was still here,
In the past, this woman could also be a mistress. Your father is still in his prime, do you want him to be a bachelor for the rest of his life? This is your father's ability, and he is worthy of being my son. You must learn more in the future!"
You Fang almost choked after what he said. With Fourth Aunt Mo's attitude, Aunt Lan walked in naturally, married You Zuming and became You Fang's stepmother.
You Fang always hopes to cause some trouble at home and create some conflicts, such as the stepmother's abuse of her ex-wife's son, etc., but has never found any opportunities. Aunt Lan's performance is very good. Although she is not as simple as her mother, she has obviously suffered
He has a higher education, has seen the world and has a very broad vision. He is a very capable assistant in managing his husband's career.
Since she came here, although the scale of her father's business has not expanded, the "class" of the people he deals with has obviously become much higher. He often goes to major cities for "inspections", and the selling prices of the things he sells have increased several times compared to before.
Some of the customers who come here to "order" are even from overseas.
In the blink of an eye, You Fang is about to graduate from high school when he turns eighteen. He skips school too many times, and his father doesn’t expect him to do well in the college entrance examination. Aunt Lan asked You Fang many times what kind of university and major he hopes to attend? If he really takes the exam
If not, you can prepare to think of other solutions now.
You Fang, however, didn't really want to go to college. Children with his background would like to go out to work early in life when they become adults. Most of Mo Jiayuan's peers were like this. Moreover, in his mind at the time, he also believed that going to college was a waste of time and a waste of time.
It doesn’t make much sense to waste money just hanging out in bars, picking up girls and surfing the Internet all day long, or focusing on boring book learning like my brother-in-law did back then. But then I thought about it again, by going to college and leaving Baimayi, it would be better to keep things at home out of sight.
What a great idea.
When You Fang didn't want to cause trouble, something happened at home. It was mid-May, and the weather had become hot. In preparation for the college entrance examination, the atmosphere in the school was very tense and depressing due to daily review and mock tests. I couldn't sit in the classroom.
On this day, You Fang skipped school again and went to Mojiayuan to play, and did not return home until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
The high school in the village is six kilometers away from Mojiayuan, and Mojiayuan is nine miles away from Baimayi. Apart from anything else, I was sweating profusely even after running such a long way on a hot day. When walking through the mountains, the bushes on the roadside were very cold.
A snake with a thick mouth jumped out and bit You Fang's ankles. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, jumped on his toes and kicked the snake's head away, and then beat the snake to death with a stick.
He was shocked, but fortunately, it was fine. He picked up the snake and took it home, preparing to skin it, wash it, chop it, and put a game on the dinner table to calm his shock in the evening.
Youjia is a very beautiful small building in the village. Aunt Lan renovated it after she came in. The kitchen uses liquefied gas, and the stove and cabinets are all custom-made from the city. A water tank is installed on the roof.
There are bathrooms downstairs, and the bathroom facilities are no different from those in the city. Aunt Lan said the first time she came to the house that everything was fine in the countryside, but going to the toilet and taking a bath were not used to it, so You Zuming hired a construction team from the city to renovate it.
.
You Fang was very dissatisfied with his father's deliberately attentive attitude at the time, even though he himself felt that living in his home would be more comfortable after renovation.
When he walked into the house, he heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen. It must be Aunt Lan preparing dinner. You Fang didn't want to scare this city woman, so he went upstairs with the snake, preparing to skin it and wash it in the bathroom.
He took it down again and took a shower first. When he opened the door, he was surprised and stood there with his eyes straight in a daze.
Someone was in the bathroom. Hearing the noise, he pushed open the glass door and asked, "Honey, is the soup ready?...Ah!" I saw Aunt Lan standing under the shower, with nothing on her except water and body wash!
No wonder I didn't hear any movement just now. It turned out that she was using a ball of moisturizing silk to apply body lotion on her body.
Aunt Lan has a beautiful figure, with bulges where they should be and bulges where they should be, and her moist skin is as white and pink as silk satin. It was the first time in Yu Fang's life that he saw such a naked mature female body, so he was lost for a moment.
, although the ancients said "don't look at anything inappropriate", but I swear to Confucius - he really didn't mean it!
Lan Qing thought her husband had come in, but when she was halfway through her words, she saw You Fang outside the door, and immediately let out a terrified scream. It was not because You Fang had entered by mistake, but because she suddenly saw the snake he was holding in his hand.
. If you saw a snake in the wild, you wouldn't be so frightened. But when you were taking a shower, someone suddenly opened the door and dangled it in front of your eyes. The sudden horror was indescribable.
The scream was so high-pitched that everyone in the family was alarmed, and even You Fang was startled. Before he could close the door, a strong gust of wind rushed out of the kitchen, and You Zuming rushed into the kitchen with a spoon.
When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he jumped up and hit the stairs with a whirlwind kick, then went upstairs. He kicked You Fang Ti Snake's wrist with his flying kick, and at the same time shouted angrily: "You bastard, how dare you scare Aunt Lan with a snake!"
My father's martial arts was learned from his grandma, and he used the Dao Ma Chang Fist with a wide open sword. You Fang didn't dare to take action, so he threw the snake and stepped back, assuming a Tuanyun hand posture ready to release his strength, and then received the move.
At the same time, he planned to give up his strength and give him a hand, lest his father would fall unstable and fall.
You Zuming came faster than him. Someone was faster than him. The door of a nearby room was kicked open. Aunt Mo rushed out with a mallet she usually used to knock her legs. When she saw her son kicking her grandson, she immediately shouted: "Stop!"
He swung the small mallet in his hand and hit the numb area at the front of You Zuming's right ankle. Although she was old, she was experienced and her movements were not big but very accurate.
You Zuming did not dare to fight with his mother, so he withdrew abruptly, turned over and held his hand on the railing to stand firm at the entrance of the stairs. Aunt Lan screamed, and in a blink of an eye the door was so busy that she was also confused. It was Fourth Aunt Mo who reacted
Quickly, he turned around and closed the bathroom door, glared at You Fang and whispered: "You bastard, you peeked at your aunt taking a bath?... Well, no, why is there a dead snake?... A snake slipped in, help your aunt.
Hunting snakes?”
You Zuming said angrily: "Why is there a snake in the house? He caught it. He obviously wanted to throw it in to scare people! This child has long been..." He did not suspect that his son deliberately peeked at Lan Qing's bath, thinking that You Fang was just playing a prank.
To scare people, because he saw You Fang carrying a snake with his own eyes, and he knew that his son had long disliked his stepmother and always wanted to cause some trouble.
You Fang huddled in the corner, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Before his father could finish speaking, he shouted in aggrieved tone: "I really didn't know she was in there!"
Aunt Mo asked loudly: "What's going on with this snake?"
"I took a taxi on the way home. I brought it back to prepare some dishes for dinner... I thought Aunt Lan was in the kitchen, but I didn't expect her to be in there."
At this time, Lan Qing had already put on her clothes and opened the door and came out. Seeing this scene, the old lady deliberately did not mention what happened just now, but changed the subject and asked: "I, the Jianghu people, do not kill animals indiscriminately when walking, and do not kill snakes when they see them?"
The answer is, why do you want to beat it to death?"
There is no such thing as such. There is a saying about not killing indiscriminately, but it doesn't mean that you can't eat any snake that blocks the road. You Fangke has never heard of it. He could only defend himself by saying: "I didn't mess with it, it suddenly killed it."
If he jumps out and bites someone, what if he doesn’t kill him and someone else is bitten when he passes by?”
Hearing this answer, Fourth Aunt Mo patted You Fang on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well, my grandson means well and should be beaten!" Then he turned around and asked his daughter-in-law, "Xiaolan, Chengcheng accidentally scared you, is it okay?
Bar?"
Lan Qing heard their conversation just now. When she saw this scene, she knew that her mother-in-law wanted to settle the matter. To be honest, she didn't want to pursue it further. She would be embarrassed if she talked about it too much, so she persuaded her softly: "It's okay, it's me.
I didn't pay attention, the door wasn't closed properly, it was just a small misunderstanding, I can't blame Chengcheng."
Aunt Mo picked up the dead snake and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay! ... Chengcheng, be careful in the future and don't be so naughty! Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Lan Qing was making soup in the kitchen that afternoon. She broke out in a sweat and felt uncomfortable because of the hot weather. She asked her husband to help her watch the fire for a while. She went upstairs to take a shower. She didn't expect You Fang to come home at this time, let alone
He would push open the door and accidentally break in while carrying a dead snake. He was startled and didn't say much afterwards, and everything calmed down quickly in the house.
That night, Sigu Mo made a bowl of snake soup with her own hands. You Zuming and Lan Qing both praised her for her superb cooking skills, but they did not mention anything about what happened in the afternoon, as if it had never happened. The elders were very generous.
As if silently saying: "No matter what the reason is, we forgive you, be careful not to make the same mistake again in the future."
You Fang was very depressed. He was thinking too much. He really wanted to shout loudly at the dinner table: "I really didn't peek at Aunt Lan taking a shower!" Unfortunately, he couldn't say this, and no one mentioned it at all. He wanted to explain more.
There was no chance for a few words, and there was no need to explain. This inexplicable feeling of being "forgiven" was really uncomfortable.
