Chapter 10 Chapter 8 Yange

Lan Fenghuang married into Quliu Village one day after the autumn harvest. The new daughter-in-law, Lan Fenghuang, got up early on the first morning after her marriage.Husband Wang Wenhua held her back, "Fenghuang, it's still early, sleep more." She said softly to her husband, "It's dawn, I have to get up and work, otherwise people will say I'm lazy Mother-in-law." She opened the gate of the yard, and the cool wind blew over, and a smile appeared on Lan Fenghuang's face.Her mood was like the cloudless sky this morning.She started cleaning inside and out.After cleaning, she picked up the bucket and went to the river to fetch water.

Along the way, Lan Fenghuang met many rural women who got up early to work.Every time she meets someone, Lan Fenghuang will greet her politely.Women will also ask her how she is.Women would say in private: "This woman is really virtuous. She got up so early to work on the second day of her wedding. It seems that the Wang family is really blessed." Some women also said: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, who pretends to be No, those who just got married don’t want to have a good reputation in front of the folks!” Another woman said: “That’s the same, after having a good reputation, you can be a good person.”

Naturally, Lan Fenghuang didn't hear those comments, either positive or negative, she just went about her own business. When Heizi was studying on the embankment, he saw Lan Fenghuang carrying water. Lan Fenghuang is the most beautiful woman in the world, Heizi thought to himself.Lan Fenghuang has delicate features, neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, exuding a fresh and charming aura.Especially a head of hair, black and shiny, reminding Sunspot of the charming luster of the green leaves in early spring.To be precise, Heizi really can't describe the beauty of Lan Fenghuang, as long as he closes his eyes and thinks of Lan Fenghuang, there will be a sweet and fragrant feeling like grass leaves from the bottom of his heart.

He decided that Lan Fenghuang was the most beautiful woman in the world, she was like a wild chrysanthemum living in nature, her beauty and generosity were natural and pure. Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin, who are good friends with Heizi, also think that Lan Fenghuang is the most beautiful woman in the world. They had a discussion in private. Heizi said: "It would be great if Lan Fenghuang could be my sister, I can be with her every day, and the rice she cooks may be different from other people's." Wang Chunhong said: "It would be great if I could marry a wife like Lan Fenghuang when I grow up, and I would be willing to be her a cow or a horse."

Li Yuanxin said: "If I can marry Lan Fenghuang as my wife in the future, I will not let her do any work. I will raise her more beautiful, and I will take her to play every day." Lan Fenghuang would not know what the children were thinking.Even if she met them on the road, after she smiled at them, the heartstrings of the little ones were jingled, she didn't know, she was just walking on the road of being a good wife.The children would stop and turn around after she walked by, looking at her graceful back silently, each with the unique mood of a little boy in their eyes. Lan Fenghuang's mother-in-law was a well-known woman before Lan Fenghuang married into Quliu Village. No one would have thought that she would become a savage mother-in-law. Everyone who is older knows that she also suffered from her savage mother-in-law when she was young. gas.

Not long after Lan Fenghuang married, her mother-in-law became critical of Lan Fenghuang.Everyone knew that the mother-in-law was picky about Lan Fenghuang.The mother-in-law always dislikes Lan Fenghuang, the food she cooks is salty and bland, the yard she sweeps is not clean, the soles of her shoes are too thick, the dishes she washes are sandy The mother-in-law thinks that she is dressed in a seductive way... Anyway, the mother-in-law is extremely picky about her. If she picks her daughter-in-law according to the mother-in-law's eyes, then Wang Wenhua can only be a bachelor for the rest of her life.

Even so, Lan Fenghuang didn't think it was wrong, she still did what she should do as always, greeted her father-in-law and mother-in-law with a smile on her face, neither angry nor angry, she listened to her mother-in-law's accusations with a smile, and smiled when her mother-in-law made things difficult for her. suffer. As soon as the mother-in-law saw her smile, her face darkened, "Don't pretend to be a vixen, you won't fascinate me." Lan Fenghuang smiled sweeter and more charmingly, and her mother-in-law stomped her feet in anger. In fact, Lan Fenghuang didn't want to be angry with her mother-in-law, she just wanted to use a smile to resolve her mother-in-law's troubles.She never thought her mother-in-law's making things difficult was vicious.This is indeed an unusual woman. If it were any other woman, no one would be able to endure the mother-in-law's vicious words, and there must have been a quarrel long ago.Lan Fenghuang's generosity made the villagers look at her with admiration.

Someone said to Lan Fenghuang: "Your mother-in-law is too disgraceful, you should retaliate with an eye, if you beat her a few times, she will be honest." Lan Fenghuang would smile sweetly, "You are wrong, my mother-in-law is my elder, she is right in everything she says, I can't contradict her." The mother-in-law can be very vicious at times. One night, Lan Fenghuang and her husband Wang Wenming made such things louder, and Lan Fenghuang's joyful groans reached the sleepless mother-in-law, who felt uncomfortable.Early the next morning, when Lan Fenghuang was sweeping the yard, her mother-in-law walked into the yard with disheveled hair, opened the chicken coop door and drove the chickens out.There was a hen stuck in the coop, so the mother-in-law stabbed the hen indiscriminately with a stick, and scolded viciously as she poked: "Sexy hen, if you don't come out, I'll beat you to death." .” The hen screamed and jumped out of the chicken coop.The mother-in-law chased and beat the hen, "I let you scream, I let you scream, you coquettish hen, do you scream happily, I will kill you."

Lan Fenghuang smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, don't be angry, go back to sleep, it's still early!" The mother-in-law stared at her, furious, "Sleep, sleep a ghost, I was disturbed to death by the crowing of the hen all night!" Lan Fenghuang stopped talking, but she still swept the floor with a smile. The mother-in-law was a little bit reluctant, "If you call me again, I will kill you and drink the stew!" At this time, the father-in-law came out and said to his wife: "Old woman, what kind of shofar wind are you making so early in the morning!"

The mother-in-law said loudly: "Damn old man, if you don't stand up on the bed, why are you farting?" The father-in-law is an honest man. After being robbed by his mother-in-law, he couldn't hold back his face and entered the house angrily. Wang Wenwen came out in cloaked clothes, and said to his mother: "Mom, what are you talking about again? Whoever provoked you is causing trouble for nothing. If this happens again, we will move out. You are too shameless, always making trouble for nothing. .” The mother-in-law is afraid of her son. The son doesn't get angry usually, but she can't stand it when he gets angry. Knowing her son is like a mother. When she saw her son stand up and speak, she kept saying: "Okay, okay, you can bully me together. If you want to If you move out to live, just move out, marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother!" She was looking for a step for herself, and after she finished speaking, she went back to the house without a sound.

Lan Fenghuang reproached her husband, "How can you talk to Mom like that." Wang Wenhua saw his wife's charming eyes, scratched his head, and went back to the house. From then on, as long as she did that kind of thing with her husband, she tried her best to keep her joy in her heart and kept him from crying out. Heizi and the others knew that Grandma Lan Fenghuang was savage, so they all pointed at Grandma Lan Fenghuang's back and said she was an old witch.In their eyes, the fairy Lan Fenghuang met the vicious old witch.But they can't do anything about Lan Fenghuang's affairs. After Lan Fenghuang married into the Wang family, the life of the Wang family gradually improved. The main reason was that Lan Fenghuang was not only hardworking, but also managed the family well. She could always increase the income of the Wang family through various hardworking ways. There is a large group of duck eggs, and their family always has a basket of duck eggs to sell in the market.Everyone in the village said that Lan Fenghuang was a cornucopia. There is a person in Quliu Village who is jealous of Lan Fenghuang, and she often speaks ill of Lan Fenghuang behind his back.When she said bad things about Lan Fenghuang, people just laughed back, and they would not take her words seriously or say bad things about Lan Fenghuang with her, because everyone knew who this person was. The person who spoke ill of Lan Fenghuang was Qiu Zhendi, a widow in Quliu Village. Qiu Zhendi is a young lady with a coquettish appearance. The men in Quliu Village are like flies, staring at Qiu Zhendi's slit. Whenever those men were satisfied with Qiu Zhendi, they would say, "Widow Qiu, how comfortable you would be if you were Lan Fenghuang." Qiu Zhendi was so angry that her face was disfigured, "You stinky men, you always eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot, what's so good about that vixen. If you have the ability, go sleep with her." Qiu Zhendi hated Lan Fenghuang in her heart day by day, as if there was Lan Fenghuang in Quliu Village, Qiu Zhendi could not exist, and Qiu Zhendi could not have Lan Fenghuang, one of them was water and the other was fire.But Lan Fenghuang didn't regard Qiu Zhendi as an opponent, she was so humble to everyone in the village, no matter men, women, old or young, her smile seemed selfless.Lan Fenghuang has indeed brought beauty to Quliu Village.As long as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, the person who persuades the quarrel will say: "Look at Lan Fenghuang—" The implication is very obvious. If the wife is sensible, her face will blush and she will take the initiative to give in. Quliu Village needs Lan Fenghuang's smile. But Qiu Zhendi refused this kind of smile, and at the same time prevented it. While carrying water in the morning, Qiu Zhendi and Lan Fenghuang met on a narrow road.Lan Fenghuang walked back with two full buckets of water, and Qiu Zhendi walked back to the river with an empty bucket. Normally, those who carry empty buckets give way to those who carry full water. This is an unwritten rule in Quliu Village. This time, Qiu Zhendi obviously fouled. She froze in the middle of the road not to let Lan Fenghuang go, and put on a posture of swearing to the death that she would not give in, her face drooped like a pig's liver. Lan Fenghuang carried the water aside, she smiled and said, "Sister Qiu, let's go!" Qiu Zhendi snorted and shook the empty bucket all the way over in an exaggerated way. Her empty bucket hit Lan Fenghuang's bucket on the spot. Lan Fenghuang staggered and almost dropped the bucket on the ground. The bucket swayed and the water splashed out Not a lot. Lan Fenghuang didn't complain about Qiu Zhendi's provocation. After she stood firm, she carried the water and left.Qiu Zhendi turned her head, spat at Lan Fenghuang's back, and said, "What!" Lan Fenghuang heard her scolding, she didn't say anything, just smiled and walked away without looking back. Qiu Zhendi, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to quarrel with Lan Fenghuang, failed, she did not expect Lan Fenghuang to be so patient. Qiu Zhendi's behavior was being noticed by Heizi who was studying on the river bank, and he cursed in his heart: "Qiu Zhendi, you are an old sow, a stupid, ugly and dirty old sow!" Qiu Zhendi will not give up on Lan Fenghuang easily. One evening, the sun was setting. Lan Fenghuang drove a group of ducks to the village. Qiu Zhendi was watering vegetables in her vegetable garden, when she saw Lan Fenghuang driving the ducks over, she purposely opened the fence gate of the vegetable garden wide. Lan Fenghuang saw Qiu Zhendi's actions. She was very careful when driving the ducks, lest the ducks would jump into Qiu Zhendi's vegetable garden and eat the vegetables.Moreover, Qiu Zhendi was obviously setting a trap for her. Ducks are not human, so they are not so obedient. A duck croaked into Qiu Zhendi's vegetable garden, Lan Fenghuang rushed in and drove the disobedient duck out.The duck didn't hurt a single vegetable. Qiu Zhendi took advantage of the problem, "What did you do, you drove the ducks into my vegetable garden, you don't have eyes!" Lan Fenghuang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." "Hey, the words are so nice! What kind of ecstasy soup are you feeding my old lady? My old lady doesn't like your tricks. It's not intentional, who are you telling it to? If you did it on purpose, I won't be finished with this dish." Qiu Zhendi screamed. Lan Fenghuang ignored her and drove the ducks back. "Don't go, it's not over yet!" Lan Fenghuang angered Qiu Zhendi, and Qiu Zhendi's voice attracted many spectators. Lan Fenghuang still ignored her and continued to drive the duck back. Qiu Zhendi stepped on a vegetable and chased after her with the vegetable. She grabbed Lan Fenghuang, "Your duck trampled my food, you left without making it clear, you are so unreasonable." Lan Fenghuang smiled and said, "My duck really didn't spoil your vegetables." "Then, tell me, who broke my vegetables?" Qiu Zhendi was aggressive. Heizi, Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin walked over. Wang Chunhong said: "I saw it, she stepped on her own vegetables!" Li Yuanxin also said: "Yes, I saw it too, she stepped on the vegetables herself!" Heizi also said, "I saw it too." Qiu Zhendi let go of Lan Fenghuang's hand, and screamed at the three children: "You uneducated little bastards, you are talking nonsense!" Li Yuanxin said: "You are not educated!" Wang Chunhong said: "You are talking nonsense!" Heizi didn't say anything. Qiu Zhendi was furious, she didn't know how to find a step for herself.At this time, Lan Fenghuang said: "Sister Qiu, can I pay for this vegetable?" Qiu Zhendi said angrily: "Whoever wants you to pay, your stinky old lady will not care about it!" Someone said: "She only cares about the stinky money of wild men!" Qiu Zhendi withdrew her troops angrily. Lan Fenghuang said to the three children who admired her: "Thank you for helping me out." The three boys said in unison: "You're welcome, this is what we should do!" Lan Fenghuang watched them bouncing away, and smiled even sweeter.At that time, the sun had already set in the western mountains, and Lan Fenghuang had to rush home to make dinner. The three boys sat down on the broken wall of a deserted old house in the village.Heizi said: "Widow Qiu always bullies Lan Fenghuang." Wang Chunhong said: "Widow Qiu is too hateful!" Li Yuanxin said: "I think we should teach her a lesson and punish her severely!" Wang Chunhong asked: "How to punish her?" Li Yuanxin spoke in a low voice, but both Heizi and Wang Chunhong heard it. Wang Chunhong clapped his hands and said, "That's great, that's great!" Heizi said, "Is this okay?" Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin asked back: "What's wrong with this?" As soon as night fell, Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin sneaked into Qiu Zhendi's vegetable garden, and Heizi was in charge of watching the wind outside.After a while, Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin came out. "Are you ready?" Heizi asked. Wang Chunhong said: "Okay!" Li Yuanxin said: "Just wait and see, there will definitely be a good show tomorrow!" They went home separately.Heizi went back to the dumb uncle's house, and the dumb uncle gesticulated and chattered to him with a sullen face.Heizi understood that the dumb uncle told him not to be too playful, so as not to interfere with his studies. As soon as school was over the next day, the three of Heizi and the others came under a tree outside Qiu Zhendi's vegetable garden. They climbed up the tree and waited for a good show. They knew that when Qiu Zhendi returned home after work, she would definitely carry water to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables.She has always had this habit. Sure enough, Qiu Zhendi came carrying water. After she opened the fence gate of the vegetable garden, she stepped in. There was only a scream, and Qiu Zhendi stepped on the trap, she fell to the ground, and two buckets of water mixed with farmyard manure poured all over her body. She screamed: "Which one who has no children and grandchildren, digs a trap to kill my old lady, ouch, ouch, my foot is broken!" Heizi and the others burst out laughing. Lan Fenghuang's singing is very beautiful, but Heizi and the others have never heard it, nor have anyone in Quliu Village heard it, because she only sings to her husband. Every night, after finishing the housework, Lan Fenghuang boils water for her parents-in-law to take a bath.After the father-in-law and mother-in-law took a bath, Lan Fenghuang made a pot of tea for them to drink.After doing this, she boiled water for her husband to take a bath.Her husband, Wang Wenhua, went to bed after taking a shower. Wang Wenhua was relatively weak, so he went to bed every day after taking a shower.After her husband finished washing, Lan Fenghuang boiled water for himself to take a bath, and then went into the bedroom as well. As soon as she entered the room, she pinched her husband's body, from head to toe, where the weight should be heavy, and where the light should be light, slowly pinching, her husband felt very comfortable under her meticulous pinching, and made him even more comfortable Yes, that is her soft singing. Under her singing and physical massage, my husband gradually forgot the fatigue of the day and fell asleep.Looking at her husband's sleeping soundly, Lan Fenghuang smiled and picked up the oil lamp with stitches, sat by the bed and began to mend clothes or fix shoe soles. She would hear her husband talking in his sleep. Her husband called her name in the dream, and at that moment, she was the happiest woman in the world.Many troubles and grievances at home and in the village were completely resolved at this moment.She is not a woman without feelings, and her smiling face is not bright every moment, but as long as she hears her husband's call of true love in his dream, everything can be resolved. Is there anything in this world that cannot be endured?Where there is an entrance, there must be an exit. She found an exit in the voice of her husband calling, and many grievances and distresses would escape from this exit. Soon, the beautiful Lan Fenghuang became pregnant. Lan Fenghuang often stroked his abdomen alone, with a very complicated expression on his face. After Lan Fenghuang became pregnant, something unpleasant happened to her.It was the first and last time that Heizi saw the fairy-like Lan Fenghuang crying, and that silent cry made Heizi and the others feel sad. It was an afternoon. Lan Fenghuang was walking on the path in the countryside.Heizi and the others are playing hide-and-seek in the fields of the village.Lan Fenghuang ran into the alcoholic Qiu Tusheng head-on.Qiu Tusheng was drunk again, he staggered towards Lan Fenghuang. He squinted at Lan Fenghuang. Lan Fenghuang quickly hid aside and wanted him to pass. Unexpectedly, Qiu Tusheng threw himself on her and hugged her tightly. She yelled, "Let go!" Qiutu refused to let go, his stinky mouth was still slamming on Lan Fenghuang's body.Lan Fenghuang was terrified.She was at a loss, and she struggled desperately, shouting: "Beast, let go! Beast, let go!" Qiu Tusheng growled: "Beauty, sleep with me. Beauty, sleep with me." He put Lan Fenghuang on the ground and pressed his body on top of her.The drunkard had great strength, and Lan Fenghuang couldn't break free from his heavy body. Heizi, Wang Chunhong, and Li Yuanxin saw the evil behavior of the drunkard Qiu Tusheng, so they ran over. The three teenagers fumbled to drag him away from Lan Fenghuang's body, but their strength was too weak.Heizi was in a hurry, he bit Qiu Tusheng's thick hand hard.Qiu Tusheng finally felt the pain and let go.The teenagers desperately overturned Qiu Tusheng who was screaming in pain. At this time, Qiu Tusheng seemed to wake up. He stood up, glanced at Lan Fenghuang who was sitting up and the three teenagers who were staring at him, and ran away quickly. Lan Fenghuang's tears flowed down quietly. The three teenagers looked at the crying Lan Fenghuang, unable to say anything. Lan Fenghuang stood up silently, wiped away her tears in the sun, patted the dust off her body, and walked away step by step. Three teenagers followed her and escorted her home. They left after watching Lan Fenghuang enter the house. Heizi asked, "Will Lan Fenghuang tell Wang Wenhua about this?" Wang Chunhong said: "It will definitely!" Li Yuanxin said: "That's fine, Wang Wenhua will definitely settle the score with Qiu Tusheng." Heizi said, "Wang Wenhua can't beat Qiu Tusheng. Wang Wenhua is so thin, but Qiu Tusheng is so strong." Wang Chunhong said: "Then Lan Fenghuang will not tell Wang Wenhua." Li Yuanxin asked: "Why?" Wang Chunhong said sadly, "I don't know either." Heizi said: "Lan Fenghuang will definitely be very sad, she cried." The three teenagers are full of sorrow for Lan Fenghuang. Sure enough, Lan Fenghuang didn't tell her husband about it. Her smile was still floating in Quliu Village, but there were some imperceptible changes in that smile. However, whenever she met Qiu Tusheng, she would avoid him far away. It was a very ordinary night, and Heizi, Wang Chunhong and Li Yuanxin heard tragic screams in the middle of the night. That was the cry produced by Lan Fenghuang. They all got up and gathered around the gate of Lan Fenghuang's house with the adults. More and more people gathered in front of Lan Fenghuang's house, and everyone's face was covered with a layer of anxiety. Heizi's heart was tightened by those screams. Wang Chunhong's hand and Heizi's hand were tightly held together, and Heizi's hand and Li Yuanxin's hand were tightly held together again. No one spoke. Only the torches held by the people were crackling and burning. Every woman in Quliu Village claims that people in the village will gather at the door of the person who gave birth no matter it is day or night, silently waiting for the first cry of the newborn. Lan Fenghuang's screams kept rising and falling. There was a drumbeat in Heizi's heart. The drum was beating heavily. He is praying. He prayed that Lan Fenghuang, who was like a fairy, would give birth to a beautiful baby. He believed that the baby who was about to be born would be the most beautiful and loving child in Quliu Village. The air seemed to freeze. Lan Fenghuang's screams suddenly disappeared. Everyone's heart is about to jump out! After a while, they heard a cry of "Wow--". Not one family member came out as usual inside and told the people outside whether it was a boy or a girl.After a while, Wang Wenhua's heart-piercing cry came. Everyone knew that it was an ominous cry, something must have happened inside. Yes, something went wrong. Lan Fenghuang passed away after giving birth to a child. Lan Fenghuang passed away without even seeing his own son. how could be? Heizi and the others held hands, neither of them spoke, their hands were sweating. Their tears flowed. Wang Chunhong simply burst into tears. The sobs became one. Lan Fenghuang died, but there seemed to be a smile on her face. The most beautiful and beautiful woman in Quliu Village has gone, maybe she is really a fairy, she returned to heaven after sending a seed to the world.Lan Fenghuang comes and goes like a dream, there will always be fog in Heizi's heart, there is always a person standing vaguely in the fog, he hopes to see that face clearly, but he can't see it anyway Clear. In the later years, Wang Wenhua never married another wife, and he lived in Quliu Village with a smart and handsome child.The child's face looks very much like a blue phoenix.Whenever people in Quliu Village saw this child, they would all treat him very well and make a smile, because this child's smile would bring back memories.
