As soon as Ma Hua entered the house, he began to relight the extinguished stove.
The temperature of the twelfth lunar month was extremely unfriendly to people. Without the temperature brought by the stove,
it was very inconvenient to live or cook!
Five to six minutes later, the temperature in the room began to rise visibly.
Lu Ge immediately took off the scarf around his neck and began to tidy up the room that had not been tidied up in the morning!
Ma Hua was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. Feeling the warmth from the cup, his
hands turned red again.
Listening to the argument in the backyard, Ma Hua knew that this assembly was inevitable!
Then, he did not take off his scarf to prevent himself from doing useless things!
Sure enough, after a while, Ma Hua heard Yan Fugui shouting outside the house,
"Neighbors and neighbors, the three elders in the courtyard are going to hold a general meeting.
Every household must have at least one person come out!”
The sound got closer and closer. Ma Hua heard someone knocking on the door. He walked to the door and opened the thick curtain. He looked at Yan Fugui and said,
"Teacher Yan, I heard what you said just now. I'll go later!"”
Yan Fugui tilted his head and pointed at Hua Ma with a smile
.
If you have the ability, guess what the meeting is going to say later?”
Ma Hua was testing him, but his tone was firm.
"Could it be because of Xu Damao's quarrel with his wife Lou Xiao'e?"!”
When Yan Fugui heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said,
"I think you're the only smart one in the front yard!"”
Ma Hua quickly waved his hand and said,
"The smart one in the front yard should be you, Teacher Yan!" Otherwise, why would the streets let you be the manager!”
In any case, flattering words were worthless. Hua Ma naturally said as much as he could,
but if it involved his own personal interests, would Hua Ma still be so friendly?!
As the Third Master, Yan Fugui valued the respect of others the most. When he heard this, his good impression of Ma Hua instantly increased. In the
end, before he left, he even reminded him not to forget to attend the meeting.
Ma Hua also made a promise to him!
After Yan Fugui left, Ma Hua said to the inner room,
"Wife, are you going to participate in the general meeting later?"”
Lu Ge heard the voice and walked out. He smiled and said,
"Why are you participating? Our son hasn't drunk milk yet. Besides, I have to knit some clothes for him.
You can go by yourself!"
When Ma Hua heard this, he grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds from the dining table and put them in his pocket.
Then, he told Lu Ge and left!
After passing through two arched doors, they arrived at the backyard.
The residents of the various courtyards began to arrive one after another. Some families had more people, so they would consciously bring a stool from their homes.
If they came alone like Ma Hua, most of them would come empty-handed and casually find a place to lean against!
There were three famous people living in the backyard-
the deaf old lady, Xu Damao's family, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong's family. The
other scattered households were not listed for the time being.
Ma Hua continued to stand behind the three stewards, leaning against the already mottled and faded red railings,
carefully looking at the painted beams and painted buildings around him. He felt that every stroke was extremely exquisite!
Gradually, the size of the crowd grew larger and larger.
Many residents who were holding stools began to sit down and discuss with each other and exchange the information they had heard. It was
extremely noisy!
A few minutes later, the three stewards led by Yi Zhonghai walked to the center of the empty space deliberately left by the residents
and stopped.
Liu Haizhong felt his temples throb as the tables and chairs were not here yet.
He turned to his second son, Liu Guangtian, and his third son, Liu Guangfu, and scolded them.
"You two little brats, where's the table?"”
Everyone's eyes were on the two boys.
When they heard their father's voice, they trembled and said,
"Dad, we... we forgot!”
Liu Haizhong flew into a rage as soon as he heard this. He pretended to rush over and teach the two of them a lesson
while cursing.
However, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui quickly stopped him. Yi Zhonghai said,
"Old Liu, let's talk things out. Don't hit the child for no reason!"”
Liu Haizhong, who had been stopped, said to the two people in front of him,
"You don't understand!”
Yi Zhonghai didn't care about other people's family matters. He changed the topic.
"Go back and beat the child up. Don't forget why the entire academy is having a meeting today."”
Liu Haizhong felt that Yi Zhonghai was right. He adjusted the folds of his cotton jacket and said to his two sons,
"Brat, what are you doing here? Hurry up and bring the table out!
I'll settle the score with you guys when I get home!”
Listening to their father's majestic fatherly love, Liu Guangtian and his brother's eyes revealed a look of despair.
They did not dare to disobey Liu Haizhong, so they moved the table to the place where it should be placed.
What they received was the kick of their father's love!
After the foreplay was over, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui walked to the table and sat down, leaving
a platform for Liu Haizhong to show himself.
"Cough cough ~" Liu Haizhong coughed twice.
The residents who heard the sound began to quieten down. They all looked at Liu Haizhong,
and this effect made him even more proud. He put on airs and said,
"Today, we gathered everyone here mainly because of Xu Damao beating his wife, Lou Xiao'e.
As for what happened?
Then let's invite the most senior in our academy, Yi Zhonghai, to speak!”
With that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Then, Yi Zhonghai said slowly,
"As the saying goes,'husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the end of the bed'. Originally, I didn't plan to bring this matter to the meeting.
However, after the strong request of the party involved, Lou Xiao'e, it was not good to hold this meeting!
Now, Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, the two of you stand in front and
tell us what happened in detail so that everyone can judge!”
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao covering his face and walking up from behind the crowd dejectedly.
Behind him was Lou Xiao'e, who had a wound on her mouth!
Xu Damao covered his right cheek and discussed,
"Three uncles, can you let us husband and wife solve this at home?
Then we won't take up everyone's precious time!"”
To be honest, it was inevitable for husband and wife to quarrel occasionally. After all, how could there be an iron spoon that did not touch the big pot when eating in the same pot?
Moreover, this was not something glorious.
Xu Damao naturally did not want to put his family's matters on the table in front of so many people!
Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said,
"I did suggest it before the meeting, but you and your wife didn't reach an agreement.
That's why your wife asked for a full meeting!"
Now that so many people had put down their work, they definitely couldn't stop!”
Xu Damao knew that there was no need to struggle when he heard that. He immediately began to stammer, obviously unwilling to say it.
When Liu Haizhong saw this, he turned his eyes and said to Lou Xiao'e,
"Since Xu Damao doesn't want to say it, then you can say it. After all, this is your own request!"”
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she said indignantly,
"Second Uncle, Xu Damao and I had an argument because we didn't have a child.”
As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e sobbed. Then, she continued,
"He said that his parents gave birth to a child again. He even gave me a folk prescription to drink,
but I didn't agree!
Because I've drunk all kinds of folk prescriptions that his parents have given me in the past few years of marriage, but they're all useless.
So I said that we should go to a big hospital for a checkup to see what the problem is.
Who knew that Xu Damao would get anxious after I said that I was going to the hospital. He found it embarrassing and didn't allow me to go.
He even beat me up later on, which was why I fought back!
Three masters, what do you think I did wrong?”
As soon as Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Xu Damao became anxious. He said to Yi Zhonghai and the others,
"Three masters, Lou Xiao'e is going too far!"
Putting aside the fact that it must be because of her, once I go to the hospital for a check-up, no matter what the results are,
what will the people around the courtyard and even the rolling mill think of me, Xu Damao? Ah!
Back then, First Uncle didn't go to the hospital for a checkup when he didn't have a child,
right, First Uncle?"
Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai for approval,
but he did not know that Yi Zhonghai's heart was in turmoil.
In this era, if a family did not have children, everyone would think that the wife was infertile.
Even Yi Zhonghai did not go for a check-up at that time.
Instead, he announced to the public that it was an old lady who had a gynecological disease and could not give birth.
No one knew what exactly happened!
Yi Zhonghai suppressed the raging waves in his heart and said to Xu Damao with a calm expression,
"Let's not talk about the child for now. We want to talk about how you beat your wife.
What do you say about this?"
Xu Damao took off his right hand in grief and indignation. He pointed at the wound on his face that was obviously scratched by his nails
. Look at my face. Did I beat her up?
That was her beating me up!"
Ma Hua took a closer look. Good heavens, this wound is really deep. How
many days has Lou Xiao'e not cut her nails? She's really sloppy!
However, no one knew what Ma Hua was thinking. The rest were biased towards Xu Damao. After all, he was too miserable.
Humans sympathize with the weak!
