Zhao Chenggang was about to cry,
He thought that something was wrong with his mother,
It turned out that she was the same as him and thought that the basket was filled with food,
Hehehe,
He was thinking too much. They didn't send any food at all,
It was empty,
It was all empty...
Afraid that his mother wouldn't listen to his explanation, Zhao Chenggang pushed Zhao Dongliang's back,
"Dad, tell mom what's going on."
The few of them had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Although it was a big scene,
Both baskets were empty,
There was only some food in the baskets,
That little bit of food was not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth,
Lu Dewen and the others were not afraid of being embarrassed,
He was ashamed of them.
Zhao Dongliang's face was flushed red. He stammered for a long time before he explained the matter clearly. Luo Xiufeng didn't believe him and looked at her three daughters suspiciously. "Is there really only this little bit of food?"
How difficult was the family? Could they do it? They really raised a group of ingrates.
Lu Dewen was afraid that his mother-in-law would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to control her actions,
Her shoulders drooped,
He shuddered and moved two steps closer to Zhao Caizhi.
Chao Caizhi felt a little uncomfortable,
She answered seriously,
"I haven't weighed the sweet potatoes and corn. There should be 20 to 30 catties. If we eat them sparingly, we can still eat them for a few days." Her mother-in-law looked fierce, but she was actually a very good person. She knew that the Zhao family was in trouble, so the sweet potatoes she picked up were all big and good-looking. She kept the crooked ones for herself to eat, but she didn't expect them to fall into her mother's mouth, and she was full of disgust.
Chao Caizhi felt a little sorry for Xue Huahua. She remembered that last year, Zhao Chenggang came to the house to ask for food. He kept saying that his parents were seriously ill and did not have many months to live. She went to the field to look for Xue Huahua. Xue Huahua gave her the room key without thinking and asked her to pack some food for Zhao Chenggang.
Zhao Chenggang was not satisfied. He only gave up after packing a few dozen catties. He only cared about himself and did not care about the lives of others. If Xue Huahua knew her mother's attitude, she might regret giving the food.
Luo Xiufeng couldn't care less about what Chao Caizhi was thinking. She was very dissatisfied with the gift and looked at Zhao Caiping and Zhao Cailian in disbelief. The two of them hurriedly raised the baskets in their hands.
In the small basket, there was something the size of a palm …
With a bang, Luo Xiufeng threw away the shoulder pole, sat on the ground and cried loudly. She ran home happily, thinking that there were hundreds of catties of food waiting for her, but she did not expect that there was not even a fraction. She was so bitter. She had worked so hard to raise her children, but she could not even enjoy a day of happiness. They were still angry at her, and they would not be satisfied until she died. There were a few baskets, but there was no food … Her food, how could she live in the future …
Seeing Luo Xiufeng beat the ground and kicked her feet while crying and accusing them of not being filial, Lu Dewen was a little confused. Why did she cry on such a good day? It was not like they did not give gifts. Wasn't Luo Xiufeng's reaction a little too exaggerated?
After a while, all the members of the Zhao Family arrived. Their reactions were the same as Luo Xiufeng's. First, they asked where the food in the baskets went. When they heard that there was no food, they immediately turned hostile, accusing them of being stingy and only giving them a little food on her birthday.
The yard was filled with complaints. Lu Dewen shrank behind Chao Caizhi, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. Based on his understanding of the Zhao Family, after crying, they would use forceful means to ask for food. Blood would rain, and what would come would come.
As expected, Luo Xiufeng couldn't cry anymore after crying for a while. She quickly got up, patted the dust off her butt, and walked over with a gloomy gaze. Lu Dewen hurriedly pulled Chao Caizhi two steps back, not daring to breathe loudly as he looked at his mother-in-law.
Their eyes met. His mother-in-law seemed to be stunned for a few seconds. She saw that she had walked to the side. To Lu Dewen's surprise, Luo Xiufeng twisted Zhao Caiping's ear and scolded, "What's the use of me raising you? All of you are heartless and unscrupulous. You think you can do anything after getting married? Your father was lying half-dead on the bed and asked you to borrow some food, but you actually called people to chase us out. How did I raise you?!"
Zhao Caiping's ears, face, and neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lu Dewen's ears hurt, and he pulled Chao Caizhi, not daring to let her get close to Luo Xiufeng. Luo Xiufeng was a shrew, and whoever got close to her would be unlucky.
Chao Caizhi shook off his hand, hurriedly ran over, and held Luo Xiufeng's hand. "Mom, stop twisting. Didn't Seventh Sister bring salt back?" Salt was a precious thing. Ordinary people were too frugal to buy it. For example, the Lu Family used less than two bags of salt a year, but Zhao Caiping was willing to spend money to buy it. It could be seen that she had put in a lot of effort.
Seeing that someone was trying to stop her, Luo Xiufeng raised her other hand and reached out to Chao Caizhi. Lu Dewen was so scared that he lowered his head and directly knocked her away. His voice was slightly trembling. "How dare you hit Caizhi? My mom won't let you off."
This morning, when Xue Huahua was picking sweet potatoes, she specially told him to take good care of Chao Caizhi. He was a man, and he couldn't let a woman stand in front of him when something happened. If anything happened to Chao Caizhi, she would be the first to punish him.
Lu Dewen knocked Luo Xiufeng away and stood far away with Chao Caizhi, for fear that the Zhao Family would rush over. He also took a shoulder pole in his hand. He really couldn't escape. No matter what, he had to delay the time. His mom had promised to find him if she didn't see him in the afternoon.
Luo Xiufeng was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up. She began to cry again. "I'm going to die. The son-in-law is going to kill the mother-in-law. Everyone, come and see …" She cried while looking at the other person's expression. Her mind was thinking quickly. She made up her mind to learn from her mother-in-law, Xue Huahua, to cheat them of hundreds of kilograms of grain. Through her blurred vision, she seemed to see the hero in her heart, Xue Huahua. She thought she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully. Oh my god, why is it the eldest son of Xue Huahua?
She was too shocked. When she swallowed her saliva, she accidentally choked and almost bit her tongue. She opened her eyes wide and looked carefully for a few seconds. After confirming that the person who knocked her was Lu Dewen, she immediately jumped up from the ground and wiped her tears. Her crying stopped abruptly.
Lu Dewen thought that she was going to act shamelessly and was ready to fall out with her. Unexpectedly, Luo Xiufeng's style suddenly changed. She smiled with tears on her face and said in a gentle tone, "It's Dewen. You're here. It's all my fault that my eyesight isn't good enough to see you. Come in and have a seat …"
She was so enthusiastic that Lu Dewen didn't dare to enter the house. He held Chao Caizhi tightly and stared at Luo Xiufeng as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
His serious and tense expression made Luo Xiufeng's eyebrows jump. No matter how much she didn't like her daughter and son-in-law, she didn't dare to make a scene in front of Lu Dewen. After the Yan 'an Village Production Team came back last time, Lao Da and Lao Er had nightmares for a few days. They couldn't afford to offend Xue Huahua. Whoever offended her would die. If they didn't run fast that day, they would have ended up miserably. Just look at the thief who fell into Xue Huahua's hands.
No matter what, she had to give face to Xue Huahua. Thinking of this, she raised the corner of her mouth and the smile on her face became brighter. "Dewen, you must be tired from walking. Come in and have a seat. I'll ask Cheng Gang to pour you some water."
The 180 degree change in attitude scared Lu Dewen even more. He discussed with Chao Caizhi, "Why don't we go home?" After all, the Zhao family only cared about the food and not the people. They could leave after delivering the food.
Before Chao Caizhi could answer, Luo Xiufeng screamed, "No, it's rare for us to come here. We have to eat lunch and go back." If Xue Huahua knew that Lu Dewen didn't even drink water when he came here, wouldn't he kill her in the future?
Drinking water, eating, everything couldn't be missing.
She didn't know that the more enthusiastic she was, the more scared Lu Dewen was. If he continued to stay here, he would get sick sooner or later. He asked Li Wei and Yao Guangming, "What did Weizi and Guangming say?"
The two naturally chose to go home. However, when they met the mother-in-law's murderous gaze, they couldn't bring themselves to say the word 'go home'. After a long silence, Yao Guangming tentatively said, "Why don't we have lunch before leaving?"
With someone accompanying him, Lu Dewen was a little braver. "Okay, if Guangming doesn't leave, I won't leave either."
Luo Xiufeng's original intention was for everyone but Lu Dewen to scram. Her family didn't have enough food to eat, and they didn't have extra to feed outsiders. However, after Lu Dewen threw out this sentence, she didn't dare to chase Li Wei and Yao Guangming away. It was fine if the two of them left, but what if Lu Dewen followed?
As long as they didn't offend Xue Huahua from the Yan 'an Village Production Team, it would be fine.
They nervously entered the central room, leaving the wicker baskets and carrying baskets in the yard for the Zhao family to clean up. Lu Dewen explained that they left the wicker baskets and carrying baskets in Ren 'an Village, and they came here today to pick them up.
Zhao Dongliang didn't believe it. He remembered that the wicker baskets Zhao Chenggang picked were new, and the color was the color of bamboo strips. These wicker baskets were old and yellow, and there were signs of wear and tear. It was obvious that they had been replaced.
He wanted to question Lu Dewen, but he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. Xue Huahua's reputation was too resounding. No one in the surrounding villages dared to provoke her. Even the educated youth who returned to the city to live on the grain supply were afraid of her, let alone himself.
He wanted to say it, but he didn't dare to. It was too uncomfortable to keep it in his heart. Lu Dewen had experienced this feeling before, so he saw that his father-in-law had a deep understanding of it. He took the initiative to explain, "Big Brother, they left the wicker baskets outside the pig farm and ran away. We thought they would come back to look for them, so we left them in the pig farm. After a few rains, it naturally became like this."
Speaking of this, Lu Dewen couldn't help but look at Zhao Chenggang. The people in the Zhao Family Village all scolded Zhao Chenggang for not being human, and cheated others for food. However, those in the Yan 'an Village Production Team who had seen Zhao Chenggang all said that he was pitiful. He was so young, but his brain was not working well. He often went crazy and ran around like a wild bull.
Fortunately, there was no river in the village. Otherwise, with Zhao Chenggang's madness, he would have fallen into the river and drowned.
There was a big difference in the accounts of the two production teams. Lu Dewen was curious about whose account was closer to Zhao Chenggang's actual situation. From his point of view, Zhao Chenggang's brain was indeed a little abnormal. Who would carry a new wicker basket and put it everywhere? If it were him, his mother would starve him for two meals. If he lost his own things, what future would he have in the future?
However, he glanced at Zhao Chenggang again. His hands were placed on the table, and then under the table. It was as if there were nails on the stool. One moment, he moved to the left, and the next moment, he sat on the right. Finally, he stood up and ran away in a panic.
Lu Dewen felt that it was very strange.
When a daughter returned to her parents' home, it was reasonable to say that she should go to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Even if she couldn't help, she should stay with her mother and sister-in-law. However, Chao Caizhi was different. Lu Dewen held her hand tightly and refused to let her go. Zhao Caiping and Zhao Cailian sat there and didn't dare to move.
The other four people could see that the Zhao family was afraid of Lu Dewen, especially Luo Xiufeng. When she spoke to Lu Dewen, her voice was so sweet that honey could be extracted from it. Sitting next to Lu Dewen, it was guaranteed that nothing would go wrong.
Luo Xiufeng quickly entered the door with two bowls. After placing them firmly on the table, she pushed one of the bowls towards Lu Dewen. "Dewen, have a taste and see if it's good."
She sprinkled sugar into the water. Afraid that Lu Dewen would think it wasn't sweet enough, Luo Xiufeng generously sprinkled a lot of sugar, which made her grandchildren very envious. As for the other bowl, if it wasn't for Lu Dewen, why would she add sugar? Luo Xiufeng didn't need to please anyone.
Luo Xiufeng pushed the bowl in front of Lu Dewen and waited for him to finish drinking. She took the opportunity to find a topic of conversation and said to Lu Dewen, "Dewen, I heard that the commune cadres who caught thieves rewarded you with several enamel jars. When will you bring them over to broaden my horizons?"
To them, enamel jars were a symbol of status. People in the countryside weren't as fastidious as people in the city. They drank water with bowls. Enamel jars burned money. Who would be willing to spend money to buy enamel jars to hold water?
According to people who visited Ren 'an Village, Lu Dewen's family received four enamel jars. They had one-ear handles, which were very convenient to carry. There were also lids, which could prevent dirty things from falling in. They were very beautiful.
Lu Dewen refused to touch the water in the bowl. Who knew if Luo Xiufeng had poisoned it? However, when it came to the enamel jars, he didn't pretend to be cold. Instead, he told the truth, "I gave my enamel jars to my mother. My mother worked hard and didn't want to go to the commune to work in the pig farm. She deserved the jars."
He and Chao Caizhi shared one enamel jar, Lu Mingwen and Lu Jianxun shared one, and Xue Huahua and Lu Hongying each shared one. It just so happened that the whole family had enamel jars to drink from.
Luo Xiufeng probably couldn't bring the enamel jars over. Xue Huahua would scold him. The jars were a reward given by the commune cadres. After receiving the reward, they had to be more humble and low-key. They had to maintain their previous attitude and continue to contribute to socialism. If they thought about showing off all day and became arrogant, they would be doomed sooner or later.
That was why they almost never brought the enamel jars out of the house after they got them.
Luo Xiufeng hurriedly nodded and said, "You should be filial to your mother. She worked hard. Hurry up and drink some water. Let's see how it tastes."
Seeing her impatient look, Lu Dewen didn't dare to touch the bowl. He pushed the bowl to Zhao Dongliang and said, "Uncle Liang, you drink it. I'm not thirsty."
Zhao Dongliang was not a reasonable person. He picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful. He put down the bowl out of habit. However, when he tasted the sweetness in his mouth, he suddenly became energetic. He looked at Luo Xiufeng suspiciously and said, "Sweet? You added sugar? "
Luo Xiufeng specially prepared it for Lu Dewen. Seeing that it went into Zhao Dongliang's stomach, she was very unhappy. She reached out and snatched the bowl back and placed it in front of Lu Dewen. "Dewen, drink it. If it's not sweet, I'll add more sugar."
Perhaps the environment affected his mood. If the same sugar water was at home, Lu Dewen could drink ten bowls without a problem. But in the Zhao family's house, he couldn't drink it no matter what. He reluctantly took a small sip and stopped eating. He pushed it to Chao Caizhi and said, "You drink it." No wonder they didn't have enough food to eat. The sugar in this bowl could make five bowls of water in their house. It was such a waste.
Chao Caizhi took a small sip and pushed it to Zhao Caiping next to her. Before Zhao Caiping's hand touched the bowl, she felt that her mother's gaze was not good again. She stared at her as if saying that if she dared to drink it, she would tear her apart.
Zhao Caiping didn't dare to drink it anymore. She quickly pushed it to Zhao Cailian. The latter was also threatened by Luo Xiufeng's gaze and didn't dare to move. Thinking that Luo Xiufeng was the one who gave her the sugar, she felt uncomfortable and pushed the bowl back to Zhao Caiping. As for Li Wei and Yao Guangming next to her, she didn't even think about it.
The bowl was returned to Lu Dewen. He refused to drink it no matter what. It was his favorite sugar water, but he didn't know why it tasted like blood. He couldn't accept it.
Luo Xiufeng saw that Zhao Dongliang was waiting eagerly, so she quickly kept the bowl. After she took a sip, she called her grandson and the others over. Each of them took a sip and went to the kitchen to rinse the water. After rinsing the water for four times, the taste was still sweet. Her son and daughter-in-law both drank it …
The Zhao Family's food always won with the quantity. Lu Dewen didn't dare to eat too much. When he was one-third full, he put down his chopsticks and waited for Chao Caizhi to finish eating and go home.
There were a lot of people in the Zhao Family. Including them, there were two tables of adults and one table of children. Lu Dewen observed the situation at the table. This table was filled with men. Except for him, almost everyone had their heads down and were slurping their food. There were only a few grains of rice in the rice and the rest were sweet potatoes. Even so, everyone was still eating happily. During the time he was observing, Zhao Chenggang finished two bowls of rice at the speed of a whirlwind.
The pot for cooking was placed at the entrance of the central room. After eating, he scooped it up himself. According to Luo Xiufeng, she cooked two pots of rice. The iron rice pot was full, and the big iron pot for stir-frying was half full. When Luo Xiufeng carried the pot into the central room, the weight forced her to bend over and lower her head. The sharp pot, in less than three minutes, was only left with what was at the bottom of the pot.
Zhao Tiegang didn't know how many bowls of rice he had spun. The scoop scraped against the iron pot, making a crisp sound. Fang Xiuju, who was at the next table, directly went into the kitchen with a bowl and scooped up some sharp sweet potatoes.
After a few minutes, the sound of the scoop scraping against the iron pot also came from the kitchen. Needless to say, two pots of rice were finished … The fighting strength of the Zhao Family was really not something that ordinary people could compare with. If he really had to compare, probably only the four pigs in the pig farm could compete with them.
As Lu Dewen silently compared, Zhao Dongliang was the first to put down his chopsticks, followed by Zhao Chenggang. They ate quickly and hurriedly, completely not paying attention to how much Lu Dewen ate. As long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't starve himself, so Zhao Dongliang asked Lu Dewen with some satisfaction, "Dewen, are you full? It's not that I'm bragging, but no matter how poor I am, I will never let my customers go hungry. "
Lu Dewen believed in this sentence. As long as he ate fast enough, he would definitely be full. If he worked hard enough, it wouldn't be a problem for him to eat until he was full. He was thinking about something else. "Uncle Liang, if there's not much food at home, it's better to eat sparingly. The way you eat, no matter how much food you have, you won't be able to eat it."
The adults could at least earn some work points by eating more. The Zhao Family also had a group of children with amazing appetites. How could the little work the whole family earned be enough?
For example, the reason why their family was well-off this year was not only because they had a lot of food, but also because they didn't eat much. Lu Hongying even went to dig up wild vegetables to cook porridge. If they didn't have enough food, wild vegetables could also fill their stomachs, so they could save a lot of food.
The food was all saved. Not to mention other things, Luo Xiufeng's appetite was enough for his mother to eat for two days. In the first half of the year, when he was injured, Chao Caizhi and Lu Hongying were both busy. The whole family, old and young, tightened their belts. Even if they had some food at home now, except for the day of the exam, they still ate very little.
Zhao Dongliang didn't look very happy. He didn't agree with Lu Dewen's words. If they didn't eat their fill, how would they have the strength to work? Moreover, they had experienced the pain of famine. They would rather die with a full stomach than a hungry ghost. Who cared about the future? "Dewen, our family's situation is different from yours. Cheng Gang and the others inherited my physique. If they don't eat their fill, their whole body will be sore and weak, and they won't be able to work. There's nothing we can do about it."
It was probably because he was afraid of being hungry in the past. If he didn't eat his fill, his heart would beat rapidly. If it was serious, he would feel dizzy and break out in cold sweat. Only when he ate his fill would he have the strength.
Lu Dewen wanted to say something, but when he saw Chao Caizhi put down her chopsticks, he changed the topic. "After Caizhi finishes eating, we will go home. My mother and I promised to go home early. If she doesn't come back, I'm afraid she will come looking for me."
If he said this, who would dare to keep him? Luo Xiufeng and Zhao Dongliang hurriedly got up to send them off. Li Wei and Yao Guangming also prepared to go home. The six of them left the Zhao Family together. Once they were out of the courtyard, they refused to let Zhao Dongliang and the others see them off. If they did, they might cause more trouble.
It wasn't until they turned two corners and the Zhao Family's house was blocked by other adobe houses that Li Wei and Yao Guangming breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was fortunate that Lu Dewen was there. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape today's disaster, especially Zhao Caiping. Her ear was almost twisted off by Luo Xiufeng, and it still hurt. She said to Chao Caizhi, "In the future, without you and Brother Dewen, I won't dare to come back. Sister Liu, do you think Mom and Dad will let us go like this?"
Chao Caizhi had finally made it. She had found a powerful mother-in-law like Xue Huahua as a backer. She still didn't know what to do.
Chao Caizhi wasn't sure. "Don't think too much. Mom wouldn't dare to go to Li's Village to cause trouble. In the future, if there's anything, you can come to Ren 'an Village to find me. We'll come back together."
Zhao Caiping touched her burning ear. She was so sad that she wanted to cry. Zhao Cailian, who was beside her, felt the same. "According to Mom and Dad's appetite, no matter how much food we give them, it's useless. I used to eat a lot at home, but now I eat less."
Thinking about the past, Zhao Cailian couldn't help but admire Zhao Dongliang for raising them up and letting them get married. With their appetite, their family should have gone crazy from poverty. It seemed that all these years, her parents only owed Fifth Uncle a little more money.
Her Fifth Uncle was sold to someone else by her grandpa's grandmother. That family was rich and refused to let Fifth Uncle interact with his family. As Fifth Uncle grew older and missed his family, he would come back every three to five years to visit. Every time he came back, he would give money and cloth. In the past few years, life was hard. Her father borrowed money from Fifth Uncle. They didn't know how much he borrowed. With the Zhao family's living standard, it was definitely a lot of money. It was easy to borrow money, but it would be difficult to return it.
The three sisters weren't people who lived their lives carelessly. How could they be like before they got married, when they didn't know anything and just ate whatever they cooked?
Chao Caizhi thought that Lu Dewen was in a hurry to go back to the production team to work, so she said a few words and went home with Lu Dewen. Lu Hongying carried Dong Dong to collect firewood. Xixi was at the pig farm. Chao Caizhi was worried that Dong Dong wouldn't drink milk and cried, so she decided to go to the mountains to look for Lu Hongying. Lu Dewen let her go home first.
Chao Caizhi didn't understand. "Aren't you going to work in the fields?"
Lu Dewen was quite valued by Lu Jianguo. Whenever there was work, he would arrange it for Lu Dewen. It was rare to see Lu Dewen not in a hurry.
"I told Uncle Jianguo to take the whole day off. Let's go home and catch up on today's lessons." There was no one at home, and the door was locked. Lu Dewen walked to the toilet and came out in less than a minute with a key. Before he left this morning, Lu Hongying told him that the key was hidden under a rock in the toilet. If there was no one at home, he could look for it himself. It really was there.
The central room was clean and tidy. On the wall were the poems that they had learned yesterday, and the complete meaning of the poems were written. Beside it were the Chinese characters that they had learned in the afternoon. Lu Dewen pulled a stool and signaled Chao Caizhi to sit down. "We have to catch up on our lessons. Come, read the ancient poems first, and then learn Chinese characters."
Beside each Chinese character, there were words written in Pinyin. Lu Dewen played the role of Xue Huahua. He pointed at the ancient poems and taught Chao Caizhi how to read, memorize, write, and learn the Chinese characters beside it. When Chao Caizhi could write all the Chinese characters, Lu Dewen erased the words on the wall and locked the door. He left with Chao Caizhi. He gave the key to Chao Caizhi and asked her to bring it to Lu Hongying. He then went to the pig farm to look for Xue Huahua to arrange work for him.
When he returned to the production team, his breathing was much smoother. He walked to the pig farm while memorizing the ancient poems. His spirit was much better. There were still a group of women chatting at the pig farm.
Xue Huahua was cutting sweet potatoes. She did not need a menu. She held the sweet potato in her left hand and the machete in her right hand. She chopped lightly and a small piece of sweet potato fell from her palm into the bucket. She cut it again … The last piece of sweet potato was thrown into the bucket and she looked for other sweet potatoes to cut.
Cutting sweet potatoes was a test of knife skills. If he was not careful, he would cut his hand. Lu Dewen did not dare to do that. He called out to his mother. "Mom, I'm back."
Relatives usually came back after lunch. When the women saw him, they laughed and teased him. "Why didn't you go to your father-in-law's house to play for a few days? There's nothing much to do recently. After a few days, you won't be able to play even if you want to."
"I don't want to play anymore. It's better to work more steadily." With the Zhao family's environment, staying another minute was torture. If it were not for Luo Xiufeng's kindness and Li Wei and Yao Guangming wanting to leave after lunch, he and Chao Caizhi would have come back long ago.
When Xixi saw Lu Dewen, he first called him daddy. Then he pointed at the words on the ground and read them to Lu Dewen. As the saying goes, he was influenced by what he saw and heard. Xixi could hold a pen and write "1". He could write "1" in Chinese and "1" in Mathematics. However, he did not have much strength and his writing was crooked. He read "1" to Lu Dewen.
Lu Dewen walked closer and looked at the ground. The crooked words that looked like earthworms made him happy. "Mom, mom, Xixi can write."
His surprised voice almost made Xue Huahua cut her finger. Xue Huahua threw the sweet potato in her hand at him and said angrily, "What else do I have to teach you? Ah, you look good when you make a fuss. Get out, hurry up and get out …"
No matter how many times she taught him, he did not learn. Xue Huahua was so angry that her chest tightened.
Lu Dewen hugged Xixi and kissed him twice. Seeing that the machete in Xue Huahua's hand was about to move, he could not hold it in anymore. He put down Xixi and ran away. "Mom, I'm going to work."
For him, memorizing the strokes was as easy as memorizing ancient poems. After he finished writing the strokes, a complete word would naturally appear. While he was concentrating on counting the strokes, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly interrupted him, "J, jing, jing, jing, jing, the passed jing, the first stroke, the second stroke, the third lift …"
Lu Dewen frowned and looked up. He was a stranger, not someone from the production team. Lu Dewen ignored him and continued to count. "Four horizontal strokes, five points, six horizontal strokes …"
After counting the jing, he started to count other things as if the other person was invisible. His mom said that all external factors that interfered with their studies were to test their concentration. The man in front of him might have been sent by his mom to test him. He must not be fooled.
For this reason, his voice became louder. After he finished counting the strokes, he began to recite the ancient poem on the wall. "Spring Dawn, Meng Haoran, Spring sleep without knowing dawn, Everywhere I hear birds singing …"
Zhao Wubin could not believe that a living person like him was completely ignored in front of Lu Dewen. Moreover, looking at Lu Dewen's confident look, it was obvious that he was showing off. He was just showing off after a few months of learning? Wasn't he showing off in front of an expert?
Lu Dewen's neglect made Zhao Wubin very unhappy. He originally planned to put on airs, but he had no choice but to say, "Lu Dewen, do you know who I am?"
Lu Dewen walked past him and continued to walk without looking back. "Is it important?" The name was not important. What was important was to see if the other person was paying attention and if he had learned the words on the wall.
The corner of Zhao Wubin's mouth twitched. "I am Zhao Wubin."
Lu Dewen responded with an 'oh' and continued to walk forward. He thought that he had shown everything that he had learned today, but the other person was still following him. Was he trying to help Xue Huahua to find out more about him?
After thinking it through, Lu Dewen continued to recite the ancient poem. He recited the ancient poem that he had learned two days ago, and after that, he started to recite the text that he had learned two days ago. He wanted to prove to Xue Huahua that he was not someone who would forget the old knowledge after learning something new. He remembered to review the old knowledge to learn the new.
Zhao Wubin had guessed any possible expression that Lu Dewen might have, but he did not expect him to be so calm. He thought that he, a highly educated intellectual, was looked down upon by a bumpkin. Zhao Wubin strode in front of Lu Dewen and blocked his way.
