Talking and talking.
Sheng Yingying couldn't help but shed tears.
When she was a child, she had the best relationship with her third brother. However, ever since her third brother left home to join the army and did not return for many years, her impression of him gradually faded, and now he has even become a stranger.
The scene she imagined of brother and sister reuniting did not appear at all.
After all, she was the sister he had raised since she was a child, so Sheng Xijiang couldn't help but feel distressed. "Sheng Yingying, what did I tell you before I left home?"
Sheng Yingying: "They told me to listen to my parents and my older brothers, not to go up the mountain all the time, and not to go up the mountain alone with the other boys in the village..."
She talked a lot, but none of it was what Sheng Xijiang wanted to hear.
Sheng Xijiang suppressed his voice, fearing that he would disturb Zhou Sese, "Sheng Yingying, did I tell you to go to school well?"
Sheng Yingying was stunned, "Yes."
Sheng Xijiang glared at him, "But why did you drop out of school? I've told you more than once in my letters that you don't have to worry about your tuition. I'll pay it for you. Even if you have to go to high school or college, I'll take care of you."
He himself suffered from his low level of education and admired educated people very much, so he wanted to pave a smooth path for his sister through his own efforts, and the only pass to this path was culture.
He had a premonition.
Very soon, the entire China will become a world of culture, and the next war will most likely be a war between cultures.
So this is also his purpose of wanting Zhou Sese to go to literacy classes and let the two children go to school when they reach a certain age.
Sheng Yingying pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and tears kept flowing down. "My eldest and second sisters-in-law said that it's useless for girls to go to school so much. They said that the more words a girl learns, the dumber she becomes, and the more she goes to school, the less likely she is to find a good man."
Sheng Xijiang: "Do you think they are right?"
Sheng Yingying sniffed. "When I was little, I thought they were right. But later, when my eldest sister-in-law's children, Huzi and Chunhong, reached school age, my eldest sister-in-law would hit them on the buttocks with a small bamboo stick all day long, telling them to study hard and do their homework well. I knew they were dissatisfied with my spending."
Sheng Xijiang frowned, "How old are you? Why are you still crying?"
Sheng Yingying took it back immediately.
It's strange to say.
When she was at home, her elder and second brothers were very fierce, but she was not afraid of them and even dared to slam the table and challenge them.
But now, although Third Brother's tone and expression were not fierce, she felt inexplicably scared in front of him.
Sheng Xijiang sneered, "If you had read more books and understood some of the country's laws, you wouldn't have brought Wang Xiaomei here."
Sheng Yingying: "...My little sister really likes you..."
Sheng Xijiang asked in return, "If you were married, and the two people in the village, Er Mazi, Wang Pangzi, and San Lamezi, said they liked you, would you divorce them and marry one of them?"
Sheng Yingying, after all, was an unmarried girl who had lived in a feudal village since childhood. When she heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment. "Brother! What nonsense are you talking about! Besides, the three people you mentioned are so ugly, so ugly that no one in the village would want them..."
Sheng Xijiang laughed, "In my eyes, Wang Xiaomei is the same as Ermazi and the others are in your eyes."
Sheng Yingying: “…”
Oh my God!
I haven't seen you for a few years. Why is your third brother swearing so vulgarly?
Sheng Xijiang's men had already wiped Zhou Sese's face and neck, and then took Zhou Sese's hand and wiped each finger carefully.
Sheng Yingying stared at it for a while, "Sister-in-law's fingers are so beautiful, white, thin and long."
Sheng Xijiang pinched Zhou Sese's palm and suddenly touched a few calluses on her palm. He turned it over and took a look. It can be seen that the calluses were formed more than ten years ago.
Like him.
Sheng Xijiang's lips curled up, a trace of heartache spread through his heart, and his attitude was rare to be gentle, "Yeah."
Sheng Yingying continued, "Third brother, are you still going to get a divorce?"
Sheng Xijiang's smile disappeared immediately, "Get out."
Sheng Yingying: “…”
Sheng Yingying walked out with her head hanging down, "Twinkle twinkle."
The two children were not very enthusiastic about this aunt because they knew that it was after this aunt came that their mother (aunt) moved out and wanted to divorce their father.
So the two children said calmly, "Hello, Auntie."
Sheng Yingying coughed lightly, "You haven't finished washing yet?"
Diandian hummed and said softly, "Not yet. I just brushed my teeth and now I'm going to start scrubbing the oil off my face."
Sheng Yingying walked over. In the moonlight, the two children's greasy little mouths, which were shining from eating meat, reflected the light.
Sheng Yingying frowned. "You two have oil all over your faces. It can't be washed off with water. Come with me."
Three minutes later.
The sound of crying echoed through the sky.
Sheng Xijiang quickly came out of the house, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Yingying stood by, bewildered, and on the verge of tears. "I saw that their faces were covered in oil. I was afraid that clean water wouldn't be enough, so I went under the stove in the kitchen and grabbed a handful of wood ash to rub on them. But before I could even start, the children started crying."
Diandian cried breathlessly, "Dad, the more I wash, the dirtier I become. I've become a dirty Diandian..."
Sheng Xijiang was speechless.
He walked over, holding Diandian's hand, and walked to the basin. "Don't cry. When Dad was a kid, he used wood ash to wash his face and hands. It's not a dirty thing, but..."
Sheng Xijiang turned his head and looked at Sheng Yingying, who was clenching her hands as if she had done something wrong. "Now we have the conditions to use pancreas soap. The children have never seen this old method. Don't use it in the future to avoid scaring them."
Sheng Yingying nodded repeatedly, "Diandian, I'm sorry."
Diandian squatted on the ground.
A small face was easily covered by Sheng Xijiang's big palm. Sheng Xijiang washed Diandian's face with a rough technique. The calluses on his hands hurt Diandian's face. "No... It's okay. I forgive you."
Wash the wood ash clean.
I changed the basin of water again.
Diandian squatted there with her little head tilted up, "Daddy, rub the oil."
Sheng Xijiang asked Sheng Yingying to bring some noodles for the children and asked Sheng Yingying to knead them until they were fragrant.
"vomit……"
Suddenly such a sound was heard in the room, and Sheng Xijiang rushed in two steps at a time without any hesitation.
Just then, I saw Zhou Sese turning over and lying on the edge of the bed, retching with a pale face.
Outside.
Sheng Yingying mumbled, "What's going on? Could I be pregnant?"
Diandian tilted her head back and rubbed her face with her eyes tightly closed. "Auntie, who's pregnant?"
Sheng Yingying said casually, "Your mother."
Diandian: “!!!”
She's going to be a young lady!
In the house.
Zhou Sese dry-heaved a few times, feeling better, and was about to lie down uncomfortably.
My stomach suddenly started churning.
She subconsciously lay down on the edge of the bed again, and Sheng Xijiang also subconsciously opened his hands...
