Ruan Xi didn't stand there for long, but continued to go to the old tailor's house carrying the wine gourd.
No matter what Ruan Yuejin's purpose is, it will not affect her. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, just ignore him.
Arriving at the door of the old tailor's house, Ruan Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, then shouted in a loud voice: "Master, I'm back!"
As soon as the last note of the song faded, the old tailor appeared outside the main door of the house with only one shoe on his foot.
Seeing him like this, Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile, and walked towards him with the gourd in hand, "Did you miss me?"
The old tailor snorted, waited for her to come to him, took the gourd and said, "I just want some wine!"
He took the wine gourd and went into the house, calling Ruan Xi, "Bring me a small bowl."
Ruan Xi turned and went to the kitchen, "Then please wait a moment."
She went into the kitchen and took down her schoolbag. Instead of taking the bowl immediately, she went to the cupboard to get a plate and grabbed two handfuls of peanuts. Then he went to the back of the stove, struck a match to light a fire, and after it was lit, he stuffed a few corn husks under the stove and slowly burned them. Then he went to the stove to fry some peanuts.
The peanuts are fried until crispy and fragrant, then served on a plate.
Ruan Xi brought the fried peanuts, picked up a pair of chopsticks and a small bowl, and went to the main room.
The old tailor was sitting at the table in the main room, looking at the wine and waiting for her for a long time, but he was not in a hurry to urge her. Seeing her bring in a plate of fried peanuts, the aroma filled his nose. He smiled and said, "I'm satisfied with this disciple."
In fact, there was more than just the old tailor in the main room. Ruan Yuejin had been leaning over the sewing machine. Today the old tailor taught him how to thread the needle and guide the bobbin thread. He tried for a long time but failed to guide the bobbin thread out once.
Ruan Xi had already seen him when she entered the yard, but she didn't want to pay attention to him, so she just ignored him and treated him as air. Now she brought the peanuts into the house, still pretending not to see Ruan Yuejin.
Ruan Yuejin pretended not to see her and tried to lead her to the bottom line, sneering in his heart - what a loud flattery.
When it comes to the ability to flatter and coax people, he is indeed no match for her.
Ruan Xi placed the peanuts, chopsticks and a small bowl in front of the old tailor and sat down at the table. After pouring half a bowl of wine for the old tailor, she pinched a peanut and put it in her mouth, saying deliberately: "Wow, it smells so good."
The aroma of fried peanuts filled the whole room. Ruan Yuejin sat in front of the sewing machine, swallowing his saliva and holding his breath.
Ruan Xi was drinking with the old tailor at the table, and he would occasionally pick up a peanut and put it in his mouth to chew. When drinking a little wine, one always has to talk a little, so she asked the old tailor: "Master, why did you bring me a junior apprentice when I went out to buy you some wine?"
The old tailor took a sip of wine, feeling extremely happy, and responded, "He said he is your cousin, and is more suitable to be a tailor than you, and can inherit my craft. Now that he has said this, how can I refuse?"
Ruan Xi lowered her eyebrows and rubbed the peanut skins in her palms. She found it funny, with a smile on her lips. "It's not easy to meet a talented person these days. You have to teach him well. My cousin is very smart and will definitely inherit your craft."
The old tailor didn't say anything about Ruan Yuejin, and asked again: "Do you want to drink with the master?"
Ruan Xi waved her hands and said, "I don't want it, it's too spicy."
In fact, this amount of liquor is not a big problem for her, but after all, her physical age is not suitable for drinking.
Ruan Xi and the old tailor sat at the table drinking, eating peanuts and bragging. Ruan Yuejin couldn't get a word in, so he just kept smelling the aroma of the peanuts and swallowing his saliva silently, while he lay in front of the sewing machine, holding his breath and sewing the bottom line.
The old tailor didn't care how well he practiced. If he could learn, he would learn, and if he couldn't, he would leave. He didn't care.
After satisfying his craving for wine, he corked the remaining wine and put it away.
This half pound of wine was not easy to come by, he had to drink it slowly, ten days or half a month would be considered a short time.
After drinking, he didn't pay much attention to Ruan Yuejin. He went into the house, took out a notebook with straw paper and a half-length pencil, handed them to Ruan Xi and said, "Girl, you should learn to draw next. I can't teach you this. You can figure it out by yourself. Draw benches and tables casually. When you have figured out the feeling, you can draw people. Practice more and observe more, and use paper sparingly."
Ruan Xi took the paper and pen and said, "Okay, Master."
The old tailor ignored her and went out for a walk.
As soon as the old tailor left, Ruan Xi and Ruan Yuejin were the only ones left in the room. Ruan Xi had to pretend that she couldn't draw, so she took the pen and paper and traced the tables, chairs and benches slowly and deliberately, making the drawings crooked.
She didn't talk to Ruan Yuejin. Her relationship with her cousin was not good. They didn't play together normally. She had been cheated by Sun Xiaohui before. Now Ruan Yuejin was trying to steal her job. It would be impossible for her to like him.
Ruan Xi sat at the table, drawing seriously, his face calm and his whole body shrouded in silence. But Ruan Yuejin, who was sitting in front of the sewing machine, was very impatient. He was so anxious that sweat was all over his head. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead from time to time.
He really couldn't get to the bottom line, and his patience was running out. He had no place to vent his annoyance, so he looked at Ruan Xi who was painting, and said something to make conversation: "You are good at flattering, so the old tailor likes you, right?"
Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile and continued to paint her own picture. "Yeah, do you have any objection?"
Ruan Yuejin also smiled, "What do I have to say? I admire you."
Ruan Xi carefully traced the lines, "You are jealous, jealous that I can eat peanuts, while you can only look at them and smell them."
Ruan Yuejin laughed dryly, "You might as well say that I'm jealous of you making fire and frying peanuts."
Ruan Xi: "Just keep talking tough."
Ruan Yuejin was even more anxious: "Whoever talks tough is a grandson!"
Ruan Xi: "Then you are the grandson."
Ruan Yuejin was stunned and stood up from the sewing machine.
Ruan Xi turned around and looked at him, "What? You want to fight? I'll let Uncle Wu beat you to death when we get back, do you believe it?"
Ruan Yuejin was indeed afraid of Ruan Changsheng, so he held his breath and sat down again.
He saw that Ruan Xi was quite good at talking, and with Ruan Changsheng behind her, provoking her would only make him suffer more and feel more aggrieved, so he stopped talking and went back to fiddling with the bottom line on the sewing machine.
Unable to pee and desperate to urinate, he ran out to the toilet again.
When he hurried out of the yard, Ruan Xi glanced at the sewing machine and muttered to herself, "How stupid."
Ruan Xi painted for a while at the old tailor's house, then looked at the height of the sun and packed up and left on time as before. When she left, the old tailor just came back, so she greeted him.
Ruan Yuejin was very patient and was still struggling with the sewing machine, as if he would not give up until he succeeded.
Of course Ruan Xi could see that the direct reason why he came to learn this craft was that he was jealous of the benefits she got from the old tailor. Half of his intention was to learn a skill so he could live a better life in the future, and half of his intention was to steal her job.
As long as she continues to follow the old tailor, Ruan Yuejin will definitely persevere.
This is the main reason why he is so impatient but still patiently persists in his studies.
If Ruan Xi hadn't been there, he would have been like those people who had come to the old tailor to become his apprentice, and would have gone home in anger and never come back. After all, it is very difficult to learn according to the old tailor's teaching method, and it is full of humiliation!
Considering Ruan Yuejin's IQ and learning ability, it would be a pipe dream for him to want to steal Ruan Xi's job.
Ruan Xi didn't take him seriously at all. She felt that even if she stuffed the bowl of rice into his hands, he wouldn't be able to take it away.
No matter how he struggled, Ruan Xi didn't pay any extra attention to him and just focused on her own things.
Ruan Xi left the old tailor's house carrying his schoolbag, and just like before, met Ruan Jie at the old place, and then went to the hillside to find Ling Yao together. Ruan Xi and Ling Yao were away these days, so Ruan Jie was consolidating the knowledge she had learned on her own.
When they met at the old place today, Ling Yao first checked Ruan Jie's mastery of the knowledge she had learned. Finding that she had mastered the knowledge well, he continued to teach new things according to the content in the textbook.
As for Ruan Xi, since they chatted for many days on the way to the commune and on the way back, and also talked about the learning content, he knew that Ruan Xi had mastered it very well, so he didn't ask her again specifically.
The three of them lay beside the stone to study. After Ling Yao finished teaching Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and let them digest the knowledge on their own, he opened his own book beside them. Sometimes when it is necessary to draw or do calculations, they are also drawn on the stone with a block of lime.
Ruan Xi slept for a day and a half and was awake for a few hours, but after reading the textbook and copying the text for a while, her eyelids began to fight uncontrollably again. She really didn't want to hold on any longer, so she simply lay down on the rock and fell asleep.
Ling Yao turned around and saw that she was sleeping with her face resting on the stone, so he closed the book in his hand, walked quietly to her side, and carefully placed the book under her face.
Ruan Jie looked at his actions and said with a smile: "You are so careful."
The boys in the village she knew were all like crazy calves, and it was good enough if they didn't bully the girls.
Ling Yao placed the book under Ruan Xi's face and sat down on the grass beside him. He didn't say anything, but just smiled at Ruan Jie.
Ruan Jie was copying the text while talking to him: "Are all kids in big cities like you?"
Ling Yao said: "Everyone has a different personality."
Ruan Jie: "Is there anyone who loves fighting like my fifth uncle?"
"Yes, there are some."
Ruan Jie actually wanted to talk more with Ling Yao. She wanted to ask him what big cities were like and what kind of life they lived. She grew up in the mountains and had never been to a big city. She might not be able to go there in her lifetime, so she was curious.
But she could also tell that Ling Yao didn't like talking to her, or he was just not a talkative person. When he spoke to her, he spoke in short sentences without any extra words, and he didn't extend the topic.
Just when she asked him what the meaning of his answer was, Ruan Jie pursed her lips and said nothing more, and went back to copying seriously.
Ruan Xi was sleeping soundly on a rock, and a leaf floated down and landed right next to her face.
She suddenly woke up as if someone pushed her in a dream and sat up straight.
Ruan Jie and Ling Yao were both startled by her and asked in unison: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Xi raised her hand to cover her forehead, her expression blank and her voice nasal: "I dreamed of falling into a big pit."
Ruan Jie smiled and said, "I often dream of falling into a pit, and then I wake up with a start."
Ruan Xi let go of his forehead, sat beside the stone, and dozed off for a while, then looked to the west and said with a slight nasal tone, "I fell asleep again. Is it about time to go home?"
Ruan Jie turned her head to look at the sun, closed the book in her hand, and said, "Then let's go."
Ruan Xi stood up as soon as she said she was leaving. She had been sitting for too long and felt dizzy the moment she stood up. She subconsciously closed her eyes and raised her hand to cover her forehead. It took her a moment to adjust.
Ruan Jie and Ling Yao put away their books and went to drive the pigs. Then the three of them returned to the village together.
With Ruan Xi around, Ling Yao would speak more.
The three of them chatted while driving the pigs, and naturally talked about what fun things they had done in the commune.
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Jie and said, "We had dandan noodles, and by the way, we also watched a movie!"
When Ruan Jie heard about watching a movie, she immediately regretted it, "Is this true?"
Ling Yao nodded at her, "Really? It was on the playground of Tianfeng Middle School, playing "Heroic Sons and Daughters."
Ruan Jie felt like crying. "I have never seen a movie in my life. If I had known there was a movie to watch, I would have gone to watch it even if I died of exhaustion. Sister, what is the movie you watched about? Tell me about it."
Ruan Xi pursed her lips and shrugged, "I fell asleep, and I didn't watch it."
Ruan Jie blinked, "You actually fell asleep?"
Ruan Xi pretended to be regretful, "I'm too sleepy."
As she said this, she turned to look at Ling Yao, "Teacher Ling has seen it, let Teacher Ling tell the story."
Ruan Jie stretched her head to look at Ling Yao, and Ling Yao glanced at Ruan Xi. Whenever Ruan Xi opened her mouth, he basically didn't do anything directly, so he told Ruan Jie the content of the movie from beginning to end.
Ruan Jie felt even more itchy after hearing this, "Ah, I really regret it. I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Ruan Xi smiled and patted her shoulder, "I haven't watched it either. I'll watch it later when I have the chance."
Ruan Jie looked at her and said, "How could there be a chance? It's not easy to go to the commune, and you may not be able to see a movie even if you go. I'm afraid I will never have the chance to watch a movie in my lifetime. I really regret not going this time."
As they walked to a fork in the road, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie said goodbye to Ling Yao and parted ways, the two sisters heading home.
Walking on the slope, Ruan Jie suddenly asked Ruan Xi: "Sister, do you think Third Uncle really beat Third Aunt? He looks quite honest, not the kind of person who would beat someone. And Third Aunt has a good temper, why did he beat her?"
Ruan Xi walked up the slope. "You can't judge a person by his appearance. Appearance can be deceptive. If Third Aunt had a bad temper, maybe he wouldn't dare to bully her. It's because of her good temper that he dares to bully her."
Ruan Jie took a deep breath and said, "It turns out that marrying to a town doesn't necessarily mean you will have a good life."
Ruan Xi turned to look at her, "So we can't bet our whole lives on getting married. Getting married is like gambling. If you're lucky, you'll get married well. But if you don't get married well and don't have the ability to leave a man and support yourself, then your life is almost over. So we have to bet our lives on ourselves."
Ruan Jie seemed to understand what he said, but she still felt that it was too unrealistic. Because in her inherent thinking and knowledge, women have no other way out, or in other words, people in the mountains have no other way out.
Most people spend their entire lives in these mountains, mining for copper, farming, and counting the sunrises and sunsets.
She looked at Ruan Xi and said after a moment, "Sister, I feel like you've changed a lot recently. You always say things I've never heard of before. Is it because you've been playing with Ling Yao that your thoughts have changed?"
Ruan Xi smiled and used Ling Yao as a shield: "Probably."
Ruan Jie thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I will listen to you. If you ask me to study, I will study. If you say that getting married is not good, then I will not get married. I will stay at home with my grandma and be an old maid."
Ruan Xi turned to look at her, "I didn't say it's bad to get married, but you have to keep your eyes open before getting married and don't be impulsive."
Ruan Jie tried to think hard and said after a moment: "Forget it, let's go home and feed the chickens and pigs first."
One has to walk one step at a time, eat one bite at a time, and do one thing at a time. Ruan Xi herself is not in a hurry for these things now, so she doesn't say any more to Ruan Jie and goes home with her to feed the chickens and pigs.
When they got home, Liu Xinghua was already chopping pig food, so Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went over to help. With three people working together, these tasks were done in a short time. While feeding the chickens, Ruan Jie also picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop.
Liu Xinghua, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were so relaxed, but Sun Xiaohui was not at all relaxed.
She was sitting outside the small kitchen opposite, chopping pig food. While chopping, she glanced across from time to time, muttering to herself, cursing Ruan Jie for being a good-for-nothing. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart how to get his daughter back.
After she finished feeding the chickens and pigs and muttered to herself, Ruan Yuejin, who was learning a craft, came home again.
Ruan Yuejin looked good every time he came back these past two days, because he learned how to operate the empty machine yesterday, and today when the sun was about to set, he finally brought out that damn bottom line.
Sun Xiaohui saw that he looked happy, and her bad mood naturally improved because of Ruan Jie. So she said, you have to raise a son, raising a daughter is simply a losing business.
She focused on Ruan Yuejin and no longer cared about Ruan Jie. When the family sat at the table for dinner, she asked Ruan Yuejin the same question as usual: "How was your study today?"
Ruan Yuejin said easily: "I have learned everything the old tailor taught me. It's not difficult."
Sun Xiaohui was delighted to hear this. She put some food into Ruan Yuejin's bowl and said with a smile, "I knew my son could do it."
Then she asked curiously, "Well, how is Xiaoxi doing? She has spent half a day here today. What did the old tailor teach her? Is she learning well?"
Ruan Yuejin snorted disdainfully: "She? She didn't even touch the machine. The old tailor gave her a stack of paper and a pencil and asked her to lie down and draw. What the hell is that she drew? It looks like something a dog had chewed on."
Sun Xiaohui's expression was even more excited, "Didn't the old tailor teach her the craft?"
Ruan Yuejin said: "Anyway, there is no teaching today."
Sun Xiaohui then asked: "Why is the old tailor so kind to her?"
Ruan Yuejin: "She knows how to flatter and curry favor with people, but I can't learn her way of doing things. Do you know what she did in the commune these days? She went over mountains and hills just to get half a catty of wine for the old tailor. When she came back and gave the wine to the old tailor, the old tailor asked her to get a bowl from the kitchen, but she went to the kitchen and fried a plate of peanuts directly."
Sun Xiaohui clicked her tongue and said, "This guy really knows how to flatter."
Ruan Yuejin looked at Sun Xiaohui, "She can cook. She didn't come back for lunch before. She probably stayed there to cook for the old tailor. Why does the old tailor like her? She flatters him and serves him well."
After listening to this, Sun Xiaohui looked at Ruan Changgui and said, "What did I say? The old tailor treated her so well. It couldn't be because she had learned the craft well. Now you know, she just has a way of currying favor with people."
Ruan Changgui didn't say anything to Ruan Xi, but only said to Ruan Yuejin, "Then you should study hard."
Ruan Yuejin said: "I am learning very well."
Ruan Xi didn't care how Ruan Yuejin was doing in his studies. She continued to do what she was doing as before.
But when she arrived at the old tailor's house in the morning and was about to clean the house, she was stopped by the old tailor.
The old tailor called her aside and said to her: "Go and do what you need to do. There are people to do these things."
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Yuejin appeared outside the yard.
After Ruan Yuejin stepped over the threshold, the old tailor cleared his throat at him, and he went to clean up on his own accord. But after working for a while, he suddenly remembered and ran over to ask the old tailor: "Why don't you ask her to work with me?"
The old tailor looked at Ruan Yuejin and said, "She cooks for me at noon."
Ruan Yuejin had nothing to say. He took a deep breath, turned around and continued to work.
After finishing the work, he saw that the old tailor still did not teach Ruan Xi the skills, but let her sit there and draw. He felt a little better. He didn't ask for anything else at the moment. As long as he could learn the craft better than Ruan Xi, he would be able to endure it.
According to his observation, Ruan Xi had been learning with the old tailor for about ten days, and it was very likely that he was just like what his mother said, that is, he was just doing odd jobs here and could not do any serious work. In the end, there was an 80% chance that he would not be able to learn the skills.
So as long as he is patient and makes the old tailor recognize his abilities, sooner or later, the title of the old tailor's apprentice will be given to him alone. When the old tailor died, he was the only tailor left on the mountain.
By then, we’ll see who will be jealous of whom.
Ruan Yuejin stared at Ruan Xi, but Ruan Xi continued to ignore him.
Ruan Xi was painting her picture seriously. When it was almost noon, she got up to wash rice and cook it. She then went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables to cook. She made scrambled eggs with green peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes today.
Ruan Yuejin hadn't left yet when she finished cooking.
Ruan Yuejin was just about to get up and go home, but when he saw Ruan Xi bring two plates of dishes into the house and put them on the table, one was refreshing green and yellow, and the other was bright red and yellow, he suddenly felt like there was glue on the bench, and he couldn't even stand up!
You know, his mother had borrowed half a basket of eggs before and gave them all to the old tailor. Now he has to save up the eggs his hens lay and return them to others, and there is no smell of eggs on the dining table.
And Ruan Xi actually! One stir-fry, two dishes!
Ruan Xi went to the kitchen to get some rice, and the old tailor took the wine gourd from the cupboard and sat down at the table. Seeing Ruan Yuejin sitting in front of the sewing machine without moving, his eyes fixed on the food on the table, he said, "I won't keep you for dinner."
Ruan Yuejin came back to his senses after hearing this and swallowed subconsciously.
He took a deep breath, put away the useless expression on his face, stood up and went out.
When he walked to the door, he ran into Ruan Xi, who simply ignored him and walked around him and went into the house with the bowl in her hand.
Ruan Yuejin tried to hold back the saliva in his mouth, stopped and looked back into the room, only to see Ruan Xi sitting down at the table, picking up the chopsticks to pick up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put them into her mouth, a happy smile on her face.
He swallowed his saliva and suddenly thought - there seems to be nothing wrong with being able to flatter.
After thinking for a while - forget it, he won’t pretend to be a grandson.
The portions of dishes cooked by Ruan Xi are not large, just enough for two people.
After she and the old tailor finished their meal, they stood up and cleared the pots and pans.
The old tailor sometimes takes a nap at noon. Today he ate a full meal and felt sleepy, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Ruan Xi stayed in the main room, lying on the table, ready to take a nap.
However, she had just closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when someone suddenly knocked on the door and woke her up.
She woke up with a start while lying on the table. She got up and blinked, only to see a slightly plump woman. The woman came into the room with a pair of trousers on her arm, and shouted, "Where's the tailor? Ask him to alter the hem of my trousers."
Ruan Xi stood up from the table and said, "My master is asleep. I will help you change it."
The fat woman looked Ruan Xi up and down and said, "You've only been learning for a few days, are you okay?"
Ruan Xi said: "It's done."
The fat woman was still worried. "I'd better ask the old tailor to make some changes for me. Although this dress was given to me by someone else, it is still half-new cloth. If you ruin it, who can I turn to?"
Ruan Xi said straightforwardly, "If it breaks, I'll compensate you with a new one."
A new indemnity?
The fat woman's eyes widened. "Is this true?"
Ruan Xi smiled and nodded at her: "Really."
The fat woman looked at Ruan Xi's face, then at the pants in her hand, and said with a determined heart, "Forget it, then you come and alter them for me. I'm in a hurry to wear them after the alterations, and I don't have time to waste any more time here."
Ruan Xi didn't waste any time. She took the pants from her hand and took out a tape measure to measure her leg length first. After measuring, she cut off a piece of the trousers according to the size, then rolled them inward half an inch and sewed them together with a sewing machine.
After sewing, she heated up the iron. When it was hot, she carefully ironed the entire pair of trousers.
Seeing Ruan Xi doing things neatly and efficiently, and ironing the pants completely, making them neat and stylish, the fat woman beside her said with a smile: "You are learning well, girl, it seems you can really take over the old tailor's job."
Ruan Xi smiled and handed the pants to the woman, "Please try them on."
The fat woman took the pants and went into the storeroom next door. She came out with the pants changed and said repeatedly, "Oh, you altered them just right. They are exactly the length I wanted. I won't take them off. I'll wear them and go out."
As she said that, she took out two cents from her coat pocket and stuffed it into Ruan Xi's hand, "Then I'm leaving."
Ruan Xi took the two cents and walked her to the gate of the yard.
When she watched the fat woman walk away and turned to come back, Ruan Yuejin happened to come back from home.
Ruan Xi didn't say hello to him. She turned around and went into the yard and sat down on the rocking chair under the grape trellis. She had just laid down on the back of the rocking chair when Big Mimi came over and jumped onto her lap, and she began to stroke the cat leisurely.
Ruan Yuejin walked past her and glanced at her, "You look so relaxed."
Ruan Xi tickled Da Mi's neck with her fingers. Seeing how Da Mi enjoyed it, she smiled and said, "Some people are just jealous."
Ruan Yuejin snorted coldly: "Whoever is jealous of you is..."
Having been choked last time, he stopped talking and swallowed it before going into the house.
Ruan Xi held Da Mi in his arms and rubbed his hands for a while, then raised his head to look at the sun which was already setting in the sky, and thought silently in his heart - Ruan Changsheng has great endurance, good energy, and is a fast walker, so he should be almost at the commune by now.
Ruan Changsheng is different from teenagers like Ruan Xilingyao who have not yet fully developed, and even more different from old people like Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua. He is at the age with the best energy and endurance, and he works hard and runs fast.
Even if you are tired, you can just take a break and regain your energy.
Therefore, he arrived at the commune earlier than Ruan Xi had predicted, which was the time when every household was making lunch and preparing to eat lunch.
He walked along the street and saw smoke coming out of every chimney. He could even smell the aroma of cooking when he sniffed.
Ruan Changsheng has been a riotous person since he was young. In addition to beating up all the little guys who wanted to show off in Fengming Mountain and taking them in as his younger brothers, he sometimes came to the commune with these friends and would stay there for several days without going home, so he was quite familiar with this place.
Although he never brought his companions to Ruan Cuizhi's house to bother her every time he came, he knew where Ruan Cuizhi's house was and he didn't need to go along the street to ask like Ruan Xi did. So when he arrived at the commune, he didn't go anywhere else and went straight to Ruan Cuizhi's house.
He was well prepared and was going to be polite when he arrived at Ruan Cuizhi's house. After all, Liu Xiong was his brother-in-law, so they were relatives. He first had a peaceful lunch, and after the meal he took Ruan Cuizhi to ask her in private to find out whether Liu Xiong had beaten his third sister.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at Ruan Cuizhi's house, before he even knocked on the door, his blood rushed to his head.
At that time, Liu Xiong asked Ruan Cuizhi to lift a large water jar in the yard. Ruan Cuizhi had thin arms and little strength, and her hands slipped. She did not hold the edge of the jar tightly, and the jar fell back to the ground. It’s nothing big, just lift it up again.
As a result, Liu Xiong frowned, let go of the water tank and kicked Ruan Cuizhi in the stomach, causing her to fall to the ground. He angrily cursed with a dark face: "You don't know what else you can do. You can't even lift a water tank!"
Why the hell are you asking this? You can see it right away!
Ruan Changsheng was young and full of energy and couldn't suppress the surging blood. He cursed outside the door: "Liu Xiong, fuck you!"
At the same time, he kicked open the half-open door of Liu's house, rushed in without saying a word, and without giving Liu Xiong any time to react, he clenched his fist and punched him on the left cheek. After hitting him, he kicked him to the ground, sat on him and beat him to death on the face and head.
Ruan Cuizhi was first stunned by the kick, and then frightened by Ruan Changsheng. She squatted on the ground for a long time without reacting.
Her little son ran out and saw his father being beaten, and he burst into tears out of fear.
Ruan Cuizhi heard the crying and reacted. She quickly stood up and pulled Ruan Changsheng, saying to him, "Fifth brother, stop fighting!"
All the energy and blood rushed to the top of his head. How could Ruan Changsheng stop? He beat Liu Xiong until his hands were sore. Suddenly he stood up and went into the house with a grim face.
After a while he came out of the house with a one-meter-long bench in his hand.
He did not give Ruan Cuizhi any time to react or try to stop him. He walked straight up to Liu Xiong, held one end of the bench high up, gritted his teeth with a stern face, and smashed it on him with a loud bang.
The bench was already thin to begin with, and it broke into pieces when it fell on Liu Xiong.
Ruan Cuizhi was so frightened that she stared blankly, and her son cried out sharply.
Ruan Changsheng stood in front of Liu Xiong, panting, looking at him with lowered eyebrows, and asked him fiercely: "Who are you hitting?"
After asking, he roared gruffly: "Can you beat my sister?!"
Liu Xiong rolled on the ground with his arms hugged, his face bruised and swollen, groaning all the time, unable to utter a word.
Ruan Cuizhi was completely stunned, her expression frightened, and she stood there without moving at all.
There are still eyes left, blinking once and then blinking again for a long time.
She seemed to be unable to hear anything, and could only hear her own breathing, which was getting heavier and heavier.
