Chapter 4 Human affection is as thin as paper The next day, the rain rests.Ma Xiaohu slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and his spirit recovered a lot, and he was no longer as weak as last night.Mao Yingchun was worried for a morning, for fear that Huang Million would go out to spread rumors about her and Ma Xiaohu, so he deliberately went out for a walk, but he didn't find any gossip, and he was a little relieved.It is estimated that Huang Million is also afraid that he will not be clean, after all, he kicked the widow's door in the middle of the night and spread the word, and the female tiger in his family could not spare him.Back home, Mao Yingchun washed Ma Xiaohu's clothes and pants again, and didn't dare to hang them outside.took the electric air and blew it dry, and then took it to Ma Xiaohu's room, and asked, "Are you feeling better today?"
”"Well, now I'm alive."
Ma Xiaohu stretched his waist.Mao Yingchun threw his clothes and pants to him: "Hurry up and change them." ”Then I went into the kitchen and got ready to cook.Ma Xiaohu put on his clothes and pants and shouted towards the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, I'll go first." ”"I'll go after dinner.""
No!"
Ma Xiaohu knows that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, his mother is also a widow, and he is often talked about, not to mention that Mao Yingchun is still in the countryside, these women in the village usually have nothing to do, so they like to chew the root of their tongue.Especially a young widowed and beautiful woman like Mao Yingchun, most people don't think she can keep it, and she must have secretly done a lot of shady things.Although the atmosphere is now open, and it is not a fault for widows to be widows, there are still many widows in the village, and they are stubborn in maintaining old ideas and morals.Ma Xiaohu himself was fearless of rumors, but considering Mao Yingchun, he walked out without stopping.Mao Yingchun chased him to the door, saw that he had gone away, understood his intentions, and scolded with a smile: "This little bastard!"
”After a while, Ma Xiaohu came to the health center of his second uncle Ma Mingda.Ma Xiaohu's grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and he was also very famous in Meizhuang back then, but unfortunately he died young, and Ma Mingda followed him and learned a little bit of fur.However, this trace of fur made him a local doctor in Meizhuang, spent some money to get a certificate, and opened a health center in the village, combining Chinese and Western, to see some minor illnesses and pains.There were no patients at the moment, and Maminda was leisurely cutting herbs at the door."
Second uncle."
Ma Mingda raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Xiaohu: "Yo, Xiaohu, when did you come?"
”Ma Xiaohu couldn't say that he came last night, and said with a smile: "I just arrived." ”"Isn't this about the college entrance examination?
If you don't study well at home, why did you run up the mountain?
”"Isn't this a few days off?
Go up the hill and go around. ”Before the college entrance examination, the school had a week's vacation, and Ma Xiaohu's results were well known, even if he was crammed temporarily, he would not be able to get into the university, so he simply gave up."
What is there to turn, is there a treasure on the mountain?
You kid, it's not me talking about you, you haven't had a father since you were a child, and you have to rely on yourself for everything.Reading is the only way you can change your fate, study hard, don't wander around all day long. ”Ma Xiaohu smiled humbly: "Yes, uncle, you are right."
It's just that I'm ...... now I had a fight with my uncle, and I couldn't go back.Look, can you let me ......
How many days will you stay?
”Ma Mingda's face changed, put down the work in his hand, and said, "Xiaohu, it's no problem if you want to stay for a few days."
But you want to live here for a long time, it's not that your uncle won't take you in, you also know the situation at home.Your sister doesn't come back from school, so she can vacate the room for you to live in, but she comes back once a week, six or Sundays.You live in her room, where does she live?
If our family is born to a man, you two brothers can still squeeze it, but it's a pity that your sister has become a big girl in a blink of an eye, and you brothers and sisters can't live in one room, right?
”When Ma Xiaohu's father and his second uncle separated, his second uncle took away the newly built three-story building, with two rooms in the front and back of each floor.Even if there is a pharmacy in front of the first floor, and a kitchen inside.There are four rooms on the two floors upstairs, and there are only three people in his second uncle's family.They live in one room for husband and wife, one for their daughter, and there are two rooms left.But now his second uncle told him that he had no place to live, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, his Ma Xiaohu's family affection is really cheap!"
Yo, it's Xiaohu here."
A beaded curtain was lifted in the kitchen of the back room, and a middle-aged woman with a bucket waist and buck teeth walked out, still holding a stir-fry spoon in her hand.This is the second aunt who others call Luo Yacui, Ma Xiaohu didn't want to be rude to the elders, so he still shouted: "Second aunt." ”"Xiaohu, I heard that you are going to take the university entrance examination soon, do you want to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University this time?"
Ma Xiaohu knew that his second aunt was deliberately ridiculing him, and knew that his cousin Ma Xiaoying was studying very well, and he was so embarrassed that his family couldn't do it, but Ma Xiaohu had never been ashamed of studying, so his second aunt's ridicule couldn't hurt him, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, only Xiaoying can be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and I only deserve to go to Lanxiang and New Oriental." ”Luo Yacui wanted to use this to hit Ma Xiaohu, and then show off her daughter, but Ma Xiaohu had no skin and no face, and she didn't eat this set at all, as if she punched on the cotton, and did not hurt anyone, which made her a little unhappy.However, Ma Xiaohu didn't eat this, so she couldn't continue to hit him, so she could only say humbly: "Our Xiaoying is not so good, at most she will report to Fudan or something."
By the way, Xiaohu, what are you doing today?
”Ma Mingda interjected and said: "Xiaohu has a quarrel with that side again, and wants to stay in our house for a few days." ”"Ouch, how can this work, Ada, how old are you, the child is not sensible, are you not sensible?
Xiaohu is really going to take the college entrance examination, how many patients are there in our family every day, people are in and out, he wants to live in our house, how can he review with peace of mind?
”Bucktooth Green glared at Maminda reproachfully."
Xiaohu, your aunt is right, we can't influence your review, right?
We have a health clinic at home, I'm afraid of arguing with you!
”"That's it, Xiaohu, your father and your uncle were divided at the beginning, and the old house of the family was assigned to your family, there is no one there, it is quiet, and no one will disturb your study."
Study, learn a yarn, is he the piece of material that learns?
The human affection is warm and cold, Ma Xiaohu has already tasted it at his grandfather's house, and he has tasted it all, but he can also see it.Meizhuang is only a little bigger, how can there be so many patients coming in and out?
If you want to drive him away, you don't even want to find a decent excuse.Ma Xiaohu sighed in his heart, but he didn't want to be sold miserably in front of others, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back to the old house to live for a few days." ”As he spoke, he turned around and left, and his aunt's sneering voice came from behind him.Soon, when I came to the old house of the Ma family, because no one had lived in it for many years, it had long been dilapidated, and even the gate was rotten and covered with cobwebs.There was a padlock on the door, rusty, Ma Xiaohu didn't have a key, so he took a stone and smashed it open.Pushing the door in, I walked through the patio and saw the portraits of my grandparents hanging above the hall.The portraits of other people's families are taken from photographs, but the portraits of his grandparents are painted and lifelike, but the portraits have been covered with a lot of dust and do not appear so bright.Ma Xiaohu knelt down, solemnly kowtowed four times, got up and walked forward, wanting to wipe the dust off the portrait, but as far as his eyes could see, he passed directly through the portrait of his grandfather.The portrait gradually dissolved, and at the same time, countless small letters appeared, starting with three relatively large letters: the book of ghost doctors.
