Chapter 9 I can finally go out
"Oh, I'm literate..." Wen Youshan only realized it after answering, and looked at Wen Yuanliang in confusion, "What are your mother saying?"
Wen Yuanliang responded foolishly: "Mom teaches your younger brother and sister to read."
"What?" Wen Youshan's voice suddenly rose, he looked at Zhang's door incredibly, walked over quickly, and asked tremblingly: "Mom...Madam, are you talking about literacy?"
"Just teach children to recognize words. Are you so fussy?" Chen Ningya was a little depressed. She couldn't see Wen Youshan's appearance and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Wen Youshan's excited voice came from outside, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll do it for you now."
Until Wen Youshan walked away, Chen Ningya could still hear him humming a song that was not tuned. She knew that she was very happy when she heard it.
Wen Youshan took Wen Yuanliang to the riverside with his basket on his back and grinned, "We don't have much land in our house, we're almost finished. Today, I'm lucky. I caught a pheasant and found some fresh wild vegetables. I stewed the chicken to you to replenish it in the evening, and then I'll get some river sand back. This river sand is the most suitable for making sand tables. We used to draw talismans on the river sand, hahaha..."
Wen Youshan said to himself, but after a while, he realized that Wen Yuanliang didn't say anything. He looked up at him, "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"
Wen Yuanliang frowned in confusion and said, "Dad, don't you even know that mom can read?"
Wen Youshan's smile faded a lot, and after a while, she sighed: "Dad doesn't know that your mother's affairs are quite complicated. Maybe she only remembered her own literacy recently. Dad knows that your mother's words had been told to you a lot of bad things, so you have always had opinions about your mother. But those are not your mother's intentions, and she was also harmed, otherwise she would never have married into our family as your mother."
Although Deng did not tell him about her past, Wen Youshan knew from Deng's literacy that Deng's background was definitely not ordinary.
Wen Yuanliang did not deny this, but he became more and more curious about it. Before he could think clearly, Wen Youshan had already dealt with the pheasant, put half a basket of river sand into his back basket, and called him home.
The father and son didn't talk any more along the way. When they returned home, Wen Youshan went to make sand tables, while Wen Yuanliang took the pheasant to the stove. In the past few days, he found that his cooking skills had improved a lot. He used to be able to cook simple wild vegetable porridge, but now even pheasants and rabbits can cook, and the taste is not bad.
Just when Wen Yuanliang was content, the sound of knocking and beating came from outside the house, which woke Wen Yuanjing up, who was sleeping. The little guy quietly peeked through the crack of the door and saw that it was his father working and he closed it obediently. However, the smell of meat in the stove made the little guy saliva flood. He wanted to eat but didn't dare to go out, so he could only stand stupidly.
After Wen Yuanliang had prepared dinner, Wen Youshan also packed out three sand plates. He was about to go into the house to feed the children, but when he opened the door, he found that Wen Yuanjing was knocked to the ground. He cried loudly, but it scared Wen Youshan so much that he quickly picked up the child and checked it carefully.
Chen Ningya was so scared that she opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yuanjing has been well-behaved and obedient these days. Chen Ningya has never heard of her crying, and she doesn't know what happened that girl cried so hard.
Wen Youshan was sure the child was fine, and then replied loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, I was hit by the door."
Chen Ningya: "..."
When Wen Youshan came out with the child in his arms, Chen Ningya could still hear the child sobbing. As a result, Wen Yuanliang stuffed a piece of chicken into Wen Yuanjing's mouth, and the girl immediately smiled.
Chen Ningya: "..."
It seems that nothing is wrong.
In the next few days, Chen Ningya and the children kept studying and literacy in the room. They often heard the sound of them reading in the yard. Fortunately, once or twice, even Wen Yuanliang felt itchy after more times. He was often distracted when he was doing things. Later, he simply stood at the door and eavesdropped openly.
Wen Yuanzhen and his brother were ill and kept in the room for a month before they were well. Seeing that they were almost recovering, Chen Ningya finally opened the door and said to Wen Youshan: "I will let my two children go out tomorrow. If you are fine tomorrow, don't go out. Boil us a few buckets of water, I will wash them well. In addition, the clothes they wear must be washed well, and then put away after exposure to the sun. There are also bedding in the room, etc., in short, they must be cleaned up."
"Okay, okay, I will do whatever my wife says. Do you need me to prepare anything?" Wen Youshan is now obedient to Chen Ningya. He will never go west when Chen Ningya told him to go east.
Seeing him like this, Chen Ningya couldn't help laughing and shook her head slightly, "That's all."
The next morning, Wen Youshan not only prepared water for them, but also potions. Seeing Chen Ningya was so shocked, Wen Youshan scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "I went to the town to buy things before dawn. By the way, I asked the doctor. The doctor said that it is better to wash with potions. Another potion can scrub the room where the patient has lived. After using it, it can be stored in a few days. Also, the doctor also said that you can go to the mountain to pick mugwort, dry it and smoke it in the room for a day. Anyway, he said a lot, and I think it is more convenient to take the medicine back and scrub it directly."
Chen Ningya gave him a thumbs up, but she didn't expect that this rough man would have such delicate times and thoughtful.
Under Wen Youshan's arrangement, Chen Ningya and her two children not only took a bath inside and out, but also took a medicinal bath. When they came out, they felt refreshed, and she finally felt like she was alive.
In the following time, the couple were cleaning the room. Taking advantage of the good weather today, Chen Ningya also cleaned up her and Wen Youshan's room. The quilt could be removed, and the quilt could not be removed were placed in the yard for exposure.
Wen Yuanliang was responsible for lifting water, while Wen Yuanzhen helped to do something within his ability. As for the two small ones, he handed them over to Wen Yuanhong.
When Sun Laifu came to the door, he saw the Wen family's busy look. This time he finally saw Chen Ningya. Unlike the lazy he imagined, Chen Ningya was actually working. Sun Laifu was so shocked that he dared not enter the door. Wen Youshan saw him first and frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Standing outside my fence in a daze?"
Sun Laifu pointed at Chen Ningya and whispered: "Are you really working?"
This sentence made Wen Youshan roll his eyes, "Or there would be fake ones? I didn't see my two children, how well my wife has raised this month!"
