Zhang Dazhuang was stunned when he heard his words. This son-in-law seemed unreliable sometimes, but nothing he did was outrageous, and he was very sensible in what he said and did.
He suddenly told me this, could it be that he heard something?
"Mingyu, what do you mean?"
Mingyu smiled and said, "Dad, my brother is too young now, so let him stay at home for two years and review his lessons. When he turns 18, I will help him get in touch with the army."
Zhang Dazhuang understood what he said and said happily, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to my son-in-law and let him do farm work at home for two years."
After that, he glanced at Mingyu again and reminded him, "Mingyu, you don't have anything to do at night. Your mom and I will help you look after the children. The three of you can review together. If there are any questions you don't understand, you can learn from each other."
Mingyu smiled and said, "Dad, I won't learn anymore. I've never been a good student since I was young. I get a headache when I read."
"It's okay, I'll let Xiaoling teach you, and I guarantee that she can teach you." Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile.
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Mingyu remembered the scene where his wife chased him with a fire poker and beat him. He instantly felt a burning sensation on his butt.
He glanced at his father-in-law sadly, then got up and went home.
"Mingyu, don't go back. I made dumplings today. Let's eat here." The mother-in-law who just came out of the kitchen shouted.
After thinking about it, he decided to stay and eat the dumplings first.
Mingyu studied with Zhang Xiaoling and her brother for two nights. He felt overwhelmed and couldn't continue studying, so he pretended to be sick.
Zhang Xiaoling didn't know about his previous academic performance and thought he was really not feeling well, so she told him to wait until he got better before continuing.
On Sunday, when Lu Xiaoran and Song Mingyuan came, Mingyu was playing outside with his daughter.
Seeing the two people coming, he quickly ran over and asked in surprise: "Sister Xiaoran, brother-in-law, why are you here? Come on, follow your brother home."
Lu Xiaoran and Mingyu went to the countryside in the same county.
When Lu Xiaoran got married, Lu Xiaotang was on a mission outside and couldn't come, so she asked Mingyu to come as a member of her family.
When Mingyu got married, it was Lu Xiaoran and Song Mingyuan who accompanied Mingyu's parents to help with the arrangements.
As soon as he entered the house, Mingyu shouted, "Wife, come out quickly, Sister Xiaoran and brother-in-law are here."
Zhang Xiaoling hurried out of the room and greeted them warmly, "Sister, brother-in-law, come in and sit down."
Several people sat in the house. Zhang Xiaoling chatted with them for a while and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Lu Xiaoran asked: "Mingyu, did Xiaotang write to you?"
Mingyu nodded: "Yes, I wrote it. I just received his letter two days ago. Sister Xiaoran, you also know about it, right?"
"I came here because I received his letter. Now that you know it, you should review your lessons well." Lu Xiaoran reminded him.
"Oh, sister, you know how I'm doing in my studies. I'm really not good at studying. I get a headache when I see a book." Mingyu said distressedly.
"Okay, I get it. You and your brother-in-law can talk here. I'll go help Xiaoling cook."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen, and Mingyu couldn't stop her.
Song Mingyuan looked at him sympathetically, thinking back to the past few nights when he was forced by his wife to read books every day, and felt that the two of them really shared the same suffering.
Because there were children at home, Lu Xiaoran and Song Mingyuan went home after lunch.
Mingyu and Zhang Xiaoling sent them to the village entrance and only went home after they had walked far away.
Zhang Xiaoling put the fire stick on the table when she got home and said with a smile: "Mingyu, we don't have anything to do now, let's read a book, and ask each other if there is anything we don't understand."
After saying that, he took out the textbook and Mingyu pressed his temple.
He said, "Wife, call our brother over, and you two can learn from him. I've been having a headache these past two days, so I'm going to take a nap first." After saying that, he went into the inner room.
Zhang Xiaoling waited until he was about to lie down on the bed, then went in with a fire poker.
After a while, Mingyu ran out, and Zhang Xiaoling chased him with a fire poker.
"Wife, wife, stop hitting me. You might scare our daughter. I will learn. Isn't it okay for me to learn?" Mingyu shouted resolutely.
Zhang Xiaoling pointed at the stool next to her with a fire poker and said, "Sit here and read the book carefully. If you don't understand something, ask me. If you dare to fool me again, I won't show any mercy."
Mingyu looked at the fire poker in his wife's hand, and then at the book on the table.
I thought, just read the book, it’s better than getting beaten.
