Chapter 73 Village gossip

  Zhao Yu had already taken over the task of picking up Zhao Zhitong from school. At that time, he was sitting in the yard of Qiao's house, squatting and talking with Xiao Shitou, when he heard the sound of reading in the study stopped.

   stood up quickly, and sure enough, the three of Zhao Zhitong walked out hand in hand after a while.

  He trotted over quickly: "Sister, are we going home?"

   "Yeah." Zhao Zhitong nodded, bid farewell to the two friends, and went back to their respective homes, looking for their respective mothers.

  Qiao Muchen sent his friend off in person, and only turned around and ran back home after Zhao Zhitong disappeared in the alley.

  Without the company of his friends, he didn't want to read books anymore, so he lay down outside the chicken coop with Xiaoshishi, holding a bamboo pole, and fought with the big **** for a while, until the big **** was thumping and screaming.

  When Mrs. Qian heard the movement, she got out of the kitchen, and saw her young master playing outside the chicken coop, so she hurriedly yelled.

   "Hey, my ancestor, don't startle the hen. If the hen is frightened, it won't lay eggs."

   After being called out by Mrs. Qian, Qiao Muchen threw away the bamboo pole, pulled the small stone, and ran back to the room screaming.

  Zhao Zhitong followed his younger brother, bouncing home.

  Zhao Yu blushed slightly, and asked cautiously: "Sister, what are you talking about in school today?"

  Zhao Zhitong began to chatter, and told his little brother about the school, and finally said: "I wrote a lot of big characters today, and I will show you when I get home."

  Zhao Yu nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I have finished reading the big characters you showed me the day before yesterday, and I will return them to you when I get home."

  Zhao Zhitong emphasized: "Little one, you can't do it after reading it. You have to be able to recognize it and write it."

  Zhao Yu grinned at Zhao Zhitong: "Yes, yes."

   The two talked and laughed, and rushed to the village.

   This morning, there was a heavy rain, and it didn't stop until the afternoon. At that time, there was still a faint fragrance of cool soil in the air.

  Under the big locust tree next to the well in the village, many villagers sat under it to cool off, or squatted under the tree with bowls to eat.

  I saw two children from a distance, and jumped into the village. At this time, some villagers recognized them as the two children of Zhao Dong's family.

  After they walked over, someone laughed and teased: "Hey, isn't this the precious daughter of Zhao Dong's family who is going to school? This is the next school?"

"Yes."

  Zhao Zhitong greeted them with a smile.

  At this time, the teasing woman spoke again: "Tsk tsk, you are a girl who goes to school, what do you learn from your husband, come and tell us, and let us learn a lot."

  The woman spoke in a strange tone, Zhao Zhitong could hear it even though she was young, and she also remembered who the woman was.

  Zhao Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, Zheng Shi, she will curry favor with her step-grandmother Wang Shi.

   Zhao Zhitong has always treated good people with kindness and politeness, but he is not so soft and cute when it comes to people who are yin and yang, weird, and she doesn't like.

  So, he snorted and said, "Of course I learned the basics, but you didn't understand what I said about Aunt Tie Zhu."

   With a sneer on her face, Mrs. Zheng pointed at Zhao Zhitong and said to the surrounding people: "Hey, look, this girl, is she really rude when she speaks? Fortunately, she even went to school to study with her husband, ha ha."

After burying Zhao Zhitong, he brought the topic to Zhao Yu: "Oh, this is Erlang from Zhao Xia's family, right? You, you have to go with your brother and listen to your aunt and uncle. If you are not good, your aunt I don’t want you and my uncle.”

  Hearing this, Zhao Yu's face immediately turned pale.

Zhao Zhitong felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, so he yelled at his son who was playing next to Mrs. Zheng: "Zhao Damao, did you hear what your mother said? You must be obedient in the future, otherwise, your father Mother doesn't want you to pull!"

   Zhao Damao was about the same age as Zhao Zhitong. When he heard this, he immediately pursed his mouth and began to cry.

  Ms. Zheng's face drooped immediately, she stepped forward to pick up her son and coaxed her, then glared at Zhao Zhitong with a very bad tone: "You girl, what nonsense!"

  Zhao Zhitong tilted his head, and said innocently: "Aunt Tie Zhu, why are you upset? Didn't you say this? I learned from you."

   "You **** girl!"

  Zheng was furious, but she had no reason to refute. It was really her who said this.

  Zhao Zhitong was not annoyed, and showed a big smile at the angry Zheng, whose face was almost deformed.

Then, he took Zhao Yu and ran towards home, and then said: "Little brother, don't listen to Tie Zhu's wife talking nonsense, my parents have already said that we are a family, and we will be together forever. "

   "Yes." Zhao Yu's eyes were red, he looked at Zhao Zhitong, and nodded heavily.

   As soon as Zhao Zhitong and the two ran away, Mrs. Zheng poohed in the direction they left.

   "A girl doll, what's the use of studying, and she can't be an examiner. In the future, she will marry into a farmer and work in the fields. What is she proud of?"

  After she finished complaining, she found that no one around her answered her voice, so she closed her mouth with a dark face.

After a while, Mrs. Liang, the second daughter-in-law of the village head's family, looked left and right, then smiled and said, "Who says no, actually, I also think it would be a waste for a girl to go to school." If you have money, it’s better to be a boy.”

Seeing someone talking to her, Mrs. Zheng immediately got excited: "Huh, it's just that, do you think their family made a lot of money selling tofu, so they are willing to send their daughters to study? But, you say he made a lot of money, right?" , but he is reluctant to let the two children of his elder brother's family go to school, it is useful for two boys to study."

Mrs. Liang nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not? Even if a boy fails to be admitted to an official after studying, he can still work as an accountant in the county town or something. I don't know what their family thinks. Two children go to school?"

   At this time, two or three women joined them.

Mrs. Zheng became even more energetic, and immediately said in a strange way: "There is nothing wrong with this. After all, those two children are not their own species. They can really be treated as their own. It's just a matter of verbal talk. Can you give it to me?" It's not bad to have a meal, I guess, those two children have to work hard for his family."

  Mr. Liang curled her lips and said, "Tsk tsk, that's right. Fortunately, when their family wanted to bring back the two brothers, they told my father-in-law that the two children are pitiful, and they should be treated well when they take them back..."

   "Ahem!"

   At this moment, a cough suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. Everyone looked for their reputation and saw Tian Cuihua, the daughter-in-law of the village head, standing not far away.

   Liang subconsciously felt guilty.

  Her mother-in-law and father-in-law disliked them gossiping outside. Now that Tian Cuihua heard it, she felt guilty that she was caught on the spot, but she pretended to be fine and called out: "Sister-in-law."

   "En." Tian Cuihua squeezed out her nose, and then said lightly: "Grandma is looking for you, you should go back quickly."
