That Village, That Person, That Fool

One night a few days later, Changsheng laid the mattress for himself and the lotus, as usual, took out his little box for the last time before going to bed, poured all the peanuts on the table, and put them one by one, Counting as you put it, after he put the last peanut on the table into the box, he found a terrible thing: peanut...one less...

He picked up the box and searched carefully on the table, there was nothing missing. He hurriedly poured the peanuts on the table again, and put them back one by one as before, but still one less. Counting it again, counting it again, he counted five times in total, indeed one less.

Chang Sheng stared at the ground and turned in a circle. He did not see any peanuts falling on the ground. He was very careful when pouring out. There should be no peanuts rolling down, but he was still kneeling with hope On the ground, lying down, under the table, under the cabinet, every small gap was not let go, and I touched my pocket again, went to the kang and ripped the quilt seriously, no, no...not at all...

Not long afterwards, the lotus came into the house and saw a mess in the room, the bedding on the kang was spread out in a mess, all the cabinet doors were open, and the table and chairs were no longer in their original positions, and Chang Sheng lifted the cabinet aside, and kept talking in his mouth: "It's gone...no..."

Lotus Road: "What is this for? What?"

Longevity was unreasonable, and he moved the cabinet away. With the last hint of hope, he went to see the ground seam behind the cabinet. He still didn't see the shadow of the peanut. His peanut flew away.

Lotus said slightly: "What's tossing in the big night, look at you who made this room, I tell you, you don't want to get all these tables and chairs back and don't allow you to go to bed!"

Longevity didn't change, he was sweating anxiously when he turned his head, looking at the lotus anxiously, "Did you see my peanuts?"

The lotus did not look at him, while arranging the quilt, he said casually: "Don't you all put it in that box?"

"One less." Changsheng grieved.

The lotus didn't care much: "I'm not a big deal. Isn't there one missing? As for tossing the house like this?"

Longevity was a little angry, shouting at the lotus: "It's gone, my peanut is missing! I counted well! I remember!"

The lotus said, "Oh...I just wanted to eat peanuts, so I went to your box and got one..."

...

For a moment, the lotus didn't react for a long time, and turned his head, but when he saw him staring at him, his face was angry, and he looked like he was going to pounce at any time. The lotus couldn't help but be afraid, she subconsciously shrank back, and then became bold and gritted her teeth, and then deliberately excited: "Eating you a peanut, can you be glared at me!"

Chang Sheng suddenly angered and shouted: "Who told you to take my peanuts!"

Lotus said: "Anyway, I want you to give it to me, too. I see if you're not there, you'll get it yourself. What a big deal."

Chang Sheng blushed and shouted: "Not the same! You are a thief! A thief who steals peanuts!"

Lotus also shouted back with a loud voice: "Who do you say is a thief?! I'm your wife, what happened to you eating a peanut?"

Changsheng shouted: "You are a thief who steals peanuts! I don't want you to be a wife!"

She didn't expect Longevity to be able to say this, and after a stun, she was angry, staring at Longevity and saying, "You say it again!"

Longevity shouted around his neck irrespectively: "Don't be your daughter-in-law! You are a thief who steals peanuts!"

The lotus was so angry that he knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help shouting back: "Who wants to be your wife! You are a fool!"

Chang Sheng's face was even more red, and he screamed with his fists: "I am not a fool! Not a fool! Not a fool!"

"Shout what!" With a cold drink, the four grandma entered the house. It was only said that she had taken medicine for a few days to recuperate, and temporarily suppressed her illness. Only then did she have to go to bed, and then listened to the long life in the house. She didn’t know what to do. She ignored it. He was always able to cure him, but unexpectedly, after a while, he heard that the two of them in the house had a dispute, and the more noisy, the more serious, she couldn’t sit back and look at it, when they came to the door, they both said they hurt people. The cruel words, the disease that just went on like a relapse, the brain hurts.

She sneered at the two with a cold face: "Don't sleep at night, what are you going to fight? How do you think your life is good?"

The long and strong body said: "She stole my peanuts! She is a thief who stole peanuts! I don't want her to be a wife!"

Grandma Four turned to look at the lotus, and poked her mouth away, without denying it.

The four grandma frowned and turned to Changsheng: "Don't talk nonsense, she is your daughter-in-law, and it will never change... I have a headache, you come to my house to pinch me." I didn't even watch the lotus turn around and go out .

Changsheng snorted hard at the lotus and followed the four grandma.

The lotus sat in the house for a long time. During that time, he lay on the kang and opened the window to look out. The grandma’s house was lit with lights and was very quiet. She thought that their grandparents had lived together for so many years. Longevity.

When it was almost midnight, Changsheng came back, obviously still angry with her, but he had lost the excitement just now, and only mumbled, "Grandma told you to go."

The lotus went to the door with shoes, and then walked to the door, and then added a sentence like Changsheng's grumbling, "Let you be scolded in the past! Huh!"

Lotus glanced down at him and went to Grandma's house with some anxiety. When Grandma Four sat cross-legged on the kang, she rubbed on the edge of the kang, bowing her head and waiting to be scolded.

"Have you eaten his peanuts?" Grandma Four asked.

The lotus nodded.

"You know that is the lifeblood of his baby, why do you have to steal it?"

"Eat if you want to..." lotus murmured softly.

"Eat it if you want to eat it?" Grandma Four groaned noncommittally and said, "You can ask him if you want to eat it. You know he will give it to you. Why did you steal one?"

The lotus bit her lip and said nothing. In fact, she wanted to say something, but somehow, every time she faced the four grandmothers, the kind of awe that was born in her heart always made her guilty. But at the same time, he couldn't say a word.

After being silent for a moment, Grandma Four sighed and said, "Why are you so bitter, why bother to quarrel with him from the head... deliberately doing it to me?"

Lotus didn't expect her grandmother to see through her little tricks. She looked up at her and looked down again. She didn't know what to say.

Grandma Four said: "He taught you to do this?"

Lotus knew that she was talking about Zhou Fuzi, and quickly raised her head and said, "No, no! It was my own thought. Zhou Fuzi didn't say anything. He was only worried about your illness. He just asked me to persuade you. It's his business." After that, he felt that he was probably leaking and messed up, and his head was deflated.

Grandma Four said, "That's how you persuaded me? Pull Changsheng to fight and show me?"

Lotus said frankly: "I don't know how to tell you, I think if you are hard-hearted and don't want to see a doctor, it's useless no matter how others persuade... I just want you to marry with all the land at home that day I’m the daughter-in-law of Changsheng, and I’m not allowed to follow you to pick medicines. I want to keep the longevity every day. I just want to make me hurry up and learn to take care of the longevity. ...I think if you see me quarreling with Longevity and make you think that I can’t take care of Longevity at all, you can’t worry about handing him over to me...you won’t dare to see a doctor...you won’t dare ...Dare not...dead..."

Grandma Four felt a little trembling, but he heard the lotus and said, "Grandma... don't worry about me... I can't be a good wife for Changsheng, I took him out to set fire last time, and hurt him. Pissing trousers... I still love to run into trouble... Just like last time when I was fighting with Widow Chen on the street, and burned her firewood in the middle of the night, I would order her house next time and take a knife to cut people! Really! I really love to make trouble...I can’t do it without you..."

Grandma Four looked at the lotus' serious and eager eyes. She was sad and wanted to smile, but she didn't even express her expression: "If you love trouble so much, then I can't go to see a doctor anymore. I have to look at you from time to time."

"..."

The look on the lotus face changed a few times in an instant, and at the end there were tears and tears: "Uh... Actually... Actually, I don’t like to go into trouble so much... probably every six months..."

Grandma Four was amused by her expression and shook her head helplessly.

The lotus feels like a rogue, but maybe the four grandmothers smile when they smile. .

If only the grandmother could change her mind this night, she would not be the grandmother. But the lotus saw hope from the expressions of Grandma Four, and because those words were said that night, it seemed to be closer to Grandma Four. In the days to come, she was completely entangled with Grandma Four. , Sometimes rogue, in short, not to grind out four grandma's ears out of cocoons to let go.

Zhou Fuzi also came day by day, and every time the lotus knew and told him to talk alone, she could often watch Zhou Fuzi leave her grandmother’s house with red eyes, and then the four grandmothers would not speak for a long time, as if falling into What kind of memories are there.

Under the attack of lotus's soft and hard bubbles and Zhou Fuzi's tears, the four grandmothers finally disarmed and surrendered, and Zhou Fuzi rejoiced in tears in front of the lotus.

As for longevity, Lotus didn't know how the four grandmothers calmed him down. He didn't fight her for the peanut again. It's just that there is a small lock on the door of his cabinet that contains peanut boxes. Every time he took it out, he carried her carefully, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to steal it.

Moreover, he no longer gave her peanuts to eat. The lotus tried twice, and every time he grabbed her handle, he said with pride: "I won't give it to you! You have eaten one!"

Lotus saw a little bit of pride or happiness in his expression, because he had enough reasons not to give her peanuts since then.

One night after that, Changsheng counted his peanuts as usual. After he put all the peanuts in the box, he found another terrible thing: peanuts...one more...

He counted it again and again, really one more. After storing enough peanuts in the box, he began to stare at the extra peanut in a daze, what to do! One more! .

He put the peanuts on the table and pretended not to see them, but he turned around the house twice, no matter where he walked, he could see the peanuts swaying brightly on the table. He hid the peanuts in the tea bowl again, covered it with a lid, and drilled himself into the quilt to cover the quilt, so that he couldn't see it...

Finally, he got up in the middle of the night and dug a hole in the back of the room to bury the extra peanuts.
