"Which disciple is a shameless thing who dares to run into your house to act wildly."
The man rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush in aggressively to teach others a lesson, but Qin Xiaoman pushed him out of the door: "Who wants you to meddle in other people's business, that's the man I just found today!"
The man was surprised: "You let the refugees live at home!"
"What's wrong, I have a lot of vacant rooms in my house, and I'm happy to let someone come in. I'm worried that I won't be able to find a son-in-law. I don't ask for anything, so here I come! There is no such thing as praying to Bodhisattvas in temples."
"You...you are an innocent little brother looking for a man, what kind of talk is that?"
"Why do I want you, an outsider, to take care of me?"
The man said anxiously: "It's not polite, let people outside say what."
"The people outside don't care about what I eat or drink, and I don't care what they say. From now on, he will be my husband-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with living with him!"
Du Heng heard the yelling outside, he limped and went straight out.
Seeing him walking with slanted shoulders and limping, the man stared straight at him.
Pointing to Du Heng, he said, "It's just that you want to recruit a son-in-law, how can such a lame man with weak limbs be possible!"
Qin Xiaoman was annoyed by being entangled, and said bluntly: "You think I'm crippled, why, can you marry me? Or can you come to me?"
The man lost some momentum all of a sudden, and he couldn't speak.
Du Heng is also a man, so he naturally saw the clue at a glance. Seeing that Qin Xiaoman was really annoyed, the fog and rain outside became heavier, and after a while, it seemed like a layer of white sugar had fallen on the top of his head.
He asked, "Who is this?"
The man looked at Du Heng's face and clenched his fists: "I'm Xiao Man's brother!"
"Don't wait here to recognize relatives, I'm not your brother. You hurry up, we're going to have dinner."
Qin Xiaoman pushed Zhao Qi out and closed the courtyard door, even though he knocked it would not open.
Zhao Qi had no choice but to go to the low stone wall next to the courtyard gate and shout: "Xiao Man, don't be confused!"
Qin Xiaoman didn't bother to talk to him, and called Du Heng into the house.
Zhao Qi outside was in a hurry. He saw the two of them entered the house together, but he couldn't do anything about him. He shouted several times and no one answered. He turned and walked along the path, and he arrived at a house in half an hour. people.
Zhao Qi raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Second Uncle Qin, are you at home!"
Not long after, a man with a very strong chest and arms came out. His shoulders and arms swayed as he walked, which could make people see his physique. Even when I was wearing a middle coat, I never shivered even standing in the rain.
Under the bushy eyebrows are a pair of sharp eyes, the light in the eyes is exactly the same as the cold light of the sharp knife. From a distance, you can see a burly man who can scare a child to tears.
Seeing Zhao Qi coming in the rain, Qin Xiong frowned, opened the door and asked, "Why is Qi Zi here in this heavy rain?"
Zhao Qi anxiously said: "Second Uncle Qin, go and persuade Xiao Man, he has picked up a man at home and said he wants to be his son-in-law! That man is as skinny as a monkey, and he's still crippled!"
When Qin Xiong heard that his nephew had found a man, he frowned: "Did you really find a son-in-law?"
A few days ago, people in the village were talking about that the old man in the next village had found a refugee to be his son-in-law. He heard Xiaoman mention it and wanted to recruit one. It only took a long time and he moved quickly.
In fact, Qin Xiong didn't wait to see Zhao Qi too much. This kid only cares about Xiaoman's trivial matters, but he can't get things done. Such a man is not a good person.
But it is a big deal for Xiaoman to get a man back, he said: "Then I'll take a bamboo hat over there to have a look."
Zhao Qi looked at the slowness of the person, and said anxiously: "I'm afraid the two of you have lived together for a while. I just saw that their inner clothes were washed and dried under the eaves, and they were tugging when they entered the house. Encouraging Xiaoman to lock me out of the yard."
Qin Xiaoman is stubborn, a brother insists on staying in his parents' house, he has done some outrageous things since he was a child, and fighting with men is commonplace.
Qin Xiong was used to making troubles again, so he didn't make a fuss, but when he heard that the man's underwear was hanging under the eaves, and he had several children, he immediately felt that it was not good.
Although the families in the village are not as particular as those in the city, there are often widows who remarry, and the city is about reconciliation, but it is not a matter of newly married after all, after all, Xiaoman is still an innocent little brother. The person who got it back is not a good thing, and it will be difficult to find a better one in the future.
"This child!"
The people in the room naturally also heard the voices of the two men outside. Qin Xiong's daughter-in-law Li Wanju came out of the kitchen against the cold wind to hear the excitement.
While knocking pumpkin seeds under the eaves, she watched her husband take the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, and exhorted:
"Put on the coir raincoat, too. Xiaoman is really not worried about such a heavy rain. You thought about taking it home to take care of it. If it really comes, you can't tell how many things will be caused."
Qin Xiong glared at Li Wanju.
Seeing her husband rushing away with Zhao Qi in straw coir raincoat, Li Wanju saw that her brother also got out, she put the pumpkin seeds knocked out into his palm, and said: "Your father is still staring at me, really Heartless."
He laughed again as he spoke: "This Xiaoman is really a troublemaker. Hearing what those gossip women in the village said, he really went and got a man back by himself."
Qin Xiaozhu said: "Brother Xiaoman has always been a man with ideas, and he is domineering. He can't do anything. There is no one in the left and right villages who wants him. If you don't have the cheek to find someone to come to you, then you will not be happy in this life." You can only be widowed until you are old."
The mother and son laughed for a long time before shrinking their necks and entering the house.
…
"It's time to eat chestnuts." Du Heng looked at the drizzle outside the house and said with emotion.
Qin Xiaoman, who was taking food out of the bowl, paused for a moment. He was about to speak when he heard Du Heng ask, "That person likes you just now?"
"You only have things in your mind that you like or don't like."
Qin Xiaoman put the bowl with added rice in front of Du Heng, and put another pair of chopsticks on it.
After thinking about it, he explained: "My father had a lot of contacts with the Zhao family when he was alive, and he verbally said that we would get married when we grow up."
Du Heng's brows twitched: "Then you two had a fight, take me back to make him angry?"
"I'm not a child. I'm so naive. Maybe I'm not sensible, but I'm not stupid." Qin Xiaoman took a few mouthfuls of food, and he couldn't say he was sad, but said impatiently: "After my father passed away, the Zhao family died. Don't admit it."
Du Heng was puzzled: "Why?"
Qin Xiaoman glanced at Du Heng like he was looking at a fool: "I am bad-tempered and domineering, and I have a bad reputation in the village. When my father was alive, others looked at my father's face. Naturally, no one will appreciate me when my father is dead. .”
"The Zhao family is well off in the village, and there is only one son. It is common for Mrs. Zhao not to want her son to marry me. Naturally, she will not let it go if she has the opportunity to regret it."
"It's not the Zhao family's fault either. Who wants to live a better life after weighing things up. It's fine if the Zhao family refuses to admit to this marriage. It's just a matter of having less contact with each other in the future. But Zhao Qi insists on coming to ask for help. His mother knows that it's useless. Then he has to point my nose at me and scold me for hooking up with his son, which is very annoying."
Du Heng frowned, although he and Qin Xiaoman had only known each other for a short time, but after a short contact with him, he found that such an older boy took the warmth and warmth of human relationships very plainly.
With short hands and a soft mouth, Du Heng said: "Then if he bothers you again next time, I'll drive him away for you."
Qin Xiaoman was overjoyed when he heard this: "Come on, you can scare someone like this. Zhao Qi is a coward who is good at his hands and feet, let alone your inflexible feet."
Du Heng was about to say that being cowardly was due to his temper and had nothing to do with his physique. Before he opened his mouth, he heard several dull knocks on the door outside the courtyard.
The force felt like the door panel would be pushed down.
"Every day, there is no time to be safe!" Qin Xiaoman put down the bowl and chopsticks with a slap, his expression moved slightly: "The grandson of Zhao Qi is going to sue my second uncle!"
"Okay, don't sit still, go into the back room and hide, remember to lock the door from the inside, no matter what happens, don't come out."
While speaking, Qin Xiaoman pulled Du Heng off the bench and pushed him into the back room.
Du Heng was full of doubts: "Why?"
"My second uncle is a butcher. He has been slaughtering animals for half his life. He is very fierce! If he does it, how many times will your body be hit?"
Qin Xiaoman pulled the door shut: "Anyway, you just listen to me and knock on the latch."
Before Du Heng could speak, he heard Qin Xiaoman go out of the house, and at this time there was a rough roar from outside the yard: "Brother Man, open the door!"
"What is Second Uncle going to do! I'm having dinner."
"You brought the man back? Where is the man!"
Du Heng heard the sound of footsteps gradually becoming clearer in the room.
Qin Xiaoman glared at Zhao Qi who was following behind Qin Xiong: "Where is that man?"
"There are two rice bowls, and you still don't admit it."
Before entering the door, Qin Xiong looked up and saw the clothes hanging under the eaves, but he didn't see the inner clothes, but his preconceived ideas made him angry: "The clothes are all hanging under the eaves, what are you talking about!"
Qin Xiaoman said: "It's raining. Where else can the clothes be hung under the eaves?"
"You! You are still justified." Qin Xiong shook his hands angrily, did not see anyone at a glance, and looked around the room aggressively: "What about that person, what are you doing hiding, let him come out!"
Qin Xiaoman held back and refused to speak, let his second uncle look for him in the house, and simply sat back on the table and continued eating.
"Xiao Man, don't make Second Uncle Qin angry. Second Uncle is doing it for your own good. Let him come out quickly."
Qin Xiaoman slapped his chopsticks on the table: "You still have the face to talk!"
He pretended to go forward to tease Zhao Qi twice, but was grabbed by Qin Xiong.
"If Qizi hadn't come to tell me that I didn't know about it." Qin Xiong was even angrier when he saw him like this: "You are really lawless! You brought a man back and hid for so long, who would marry you if word spreads out!"
Qin Xiaoman was also very angry: "Whether it is passed on or not, no one will marry me, and I am just planning for my future."
Qin Xiong said: "I have a wider road than you. If you want to find someone, I will just ask you. I don't need a brother like you to find it by yourself? How can you fix it when you come back with a crooked mind!"
"I live with me, not with my second uncle, why can't I find it myself."
"You don't dare to beat you because of me, do you?"
Qin Xiaoman put down his chopsticks: "Then Second Uncle hit me, anyway, I will fight back."
"You brother! I'm a bamboo stick!"
Qin Xiong's eyes puffed up, Zhao Qi originally wanted to go forward to persuade him, but the vicious Qin Xiong shrank at the door again, not daring to speak, only trying to persuade him.
There was a frenzy in the room.
Qin Xiong couldn't find the bamboo stick, so he picked up the shoes on the ground and was about to greet Qin Xiaoman, but Qin Xiaoman didn't resist, just sat there with his neck stuck.
Qin Xiong had a bad temper, and the shoe board slapped on his body, Qin Xiaoman's drooping brows tightened, but he didn't feel any pain.
When he was puzzled, he raised his head and saw Du Heng standing in front of him, and he greeted Du Heng's shoulder with the hot and painful soles of his shoes.
Qin Xiaoman opened his eyes wide, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.
"If you want to hit me, hit me, he's just a child who doesn't understand."
