"I say, kid, use it sparingly. Don't waste my future grandchildren." Lao Du looked at the expression on his son's face and said seriously, but his tone was full of ridicule.
"Dad, what did I use? Did you ask me to use it sparingly? Besides, where did you get a grandchild for me to consume?" Du Wei asked in confusion.
'There is no daughter-in-law yet, so where did the grandchild come from?' Du Wei suspected that his father had a problem with his grandchildren.
"Why not? How many seeds did you waste last night? I don't know how many of them are grandchildren. And last time, don't think I didn't see it, I just didn't say it." Lao Du said after glancing at the underwear hanging on the bamboo pole.
Following his father's gaze, Du Wei felt his face getting hot. Fortunately, because he had been running outside for many years, the skin on his face was a little dark from the sun, so he couldn't see clearly.
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Du Wei was a little embarrassed to see the expression on his father's face.
"What nonsense am I talking about? You said that since you are a grown man and like that young widow, it is useless to just stay at home and think about it. You must chase her! Just look at your scary face. If she is not used to it, she will be afraid to marry you. Besides, such a beautiful young widow is not only liked by you but maybe others like her too. You will regret it when you let others marry her." Lao Du was a little disappointed and wanted to teach his son how to chase his daughter-in-law.
'Suniang would be afraid of his face?' Du Wei thought it was impossible. Thinking back to the first time they met, he did not see the fear in her eyes. Otherwise, she would not smile at him.
But his father was right, he had to take action. Otherwise, he would regret it to death if others got the upper hand.
Thinking of the matchmaker he met yesterday, if Suniang was not unwilling, he would have no chance.
"Look at you, kid. I, your father, gave you a good face, but you ruined it like this. Otherwise, a young widow would be willing to marry you just by looking at your face without doing anything." Lao Du looked at his son's face and scolded him.
Although Lao Du's words were meant to be a rebuke to his son, in fact, he still felt sorry for his son's injury.
"Don't dilly-dally, kid. You must act quickly and be thick-skinned. Learn from your father's efforts to pursue your mother. You should know that your father, at that time, had to sacrifice our face and work hard to marry your mother at home. I was not the only one who wanted to marry your mother. Several people were younger than me and looked no worse than me. In the end, your mother agreed to marry me, which made them all angry." Lao Du recalled the scene when he was pursuing his wife in the past, and couldn't help but say proudly.
"It's a pity that your mother didn't live a good life with me, and she left early. It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of her." Thinking of Du Wei's mother's early death, the Lao Du felt uncomfortable again, and couldn't help but tears in his eyes.
"Dad, don't be sad, Mom won't blame you. Not only have you not remarried for so many years, but you have also raised me by yourself. Mom will be happy to see it." Du Wei gently patted his father to comfort him.
"Now I just hope that your mother can wait for me for a few more years down there. When I see you get married and have children, I will be relieved and have the face to report to your mother and make amends."
"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm still waiting for you to help me take care of the child! After all, you have to help me raise the child, and then watch him get married and have children. When you go down to see my mother, won't you be more face-saving? After reporting like that, won't my mother be even happier? Maybe she will go to the King of Hell and say that she wants to be with you forever!" To stop his father from being sad, Du Wei racked his brain to think of words to coax his father.
So after a moment of being stunned, Li Suniang also smiled at Du Wei.
Suddenly, Du Wei seemed to see the scene of flowers blooming in front of his eyes, and it seemed that he was walking on clouds.
'She smiled, she smiled at me again.' Du Wei said happily in his heart.
"Woo... Woof woof." Wangzai shouted at Du Wei outside the yard.
Wangzai, who had been raised for a while, was now a little bigger than when he was first caught and was very familiar with Li Suniang and Xiao Zihao. He had already learned to take up his post and would bark at unfamiliar people.
"Wangzai, don't bark, he's a good person." Xiao Zihao lowered his head and scolded Wangzai.
'Hey, kid, how can you tell that he is a good person? Don't you see that he looks a bit fierce?' Li Suniang was amused by Xiao Zihao's words. After Du Wei walked away, she asked Xiao Zihao.
"Zihao, tell me, how do you know that the man who just walked by is a good man? Why does he look so fierce? He doesn't look like a good man!"
"Mom, didn't you tell me that you can't just look at the appearance of a person? Some people look very good, but they are not necessarily good people, and some people look very fierce, but they are not necessarily bad people. Anyway, I think that uncle just now is a good person." Xiao Zihao explained very seriously.
"Well, Xiao Zihao is right, so when we look at things, we can't just use our eyes to see, because sometimes people's eyes can deceive people. We have to see with our hearts and experience with our hearts." Li Suniang stuffed some of the truths she knew in her previous life into Xiao Zihao's mind bit by bit.
"Well, Mom, I know." Xiao Zihao nodded very seriously, indicating that he would definitely remember his mother's words.
"Mom, did you see Uncle Du kill another pheasant just now?" Xiao Zihao said with some envy.
"Do you want to eat meat?" Li Suniang asked with a smile.
"No." Xiao Zihao shook his head and replied. Although he said no, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
When his father was around, he would eat meat four or five times a month, but since his father died, he hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Xiao Zihao missed his father a little at this time.
Seeing Xiao Zihao's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Li Suniang felt sour in her heart. In fact, not to mention the child, even she wanted to eat meat. In her previous life, because she wanted to maintain a slim figure, she rarely ate meat, but now here, she almost couldn't bear to eat it. If you don't have money, what can you buy? Every copper coin in the family must be used on the blade. It's really a sin...!
Fortunately, there are still two or three hens at home that lay eggs, which can improve the food. But Li Suniang decided to wait until tomorrow to ask Aunt Yang when she would go to town. She wants to buy some meat.
