Chapter 5 Come back soon
Outside the courtyard of Cui's family, Father Cui and Erlang Cui came back with a hoe on their shoulders.

Cui Erlang's body is thin and weak, and his clothes are also patched.

After putting down the hoe, I immediately went to the kitchen to help my sister with work, but I didn't see my sister when I went to the kitchen.

Cui Erlang walked out of the kitchen with a frown, and saw that his father had washed his hands with the water brought by his stepmother, and was sitting at the table in the yard, preparing to eat.

There are also stepmothers and stepmother's younger brothers and sisters. Although their clothes also have patches, there are at most one or two, not as many as him.

And on the table, there was no his sister.

The little boy ran to the house to search, and searched all over the two sleeping rooms, but there was nothing!

He walked to the dining table with an ugly expression, clenched his fists tightly with his hands, a bad premonition came to his heart, and looked at his father and stepmother sitting at the top.

His eyes stayed on the stepmother, and he asked

"Where's my sister?"

Dad's chopsticks paused, and he looked in the yard, only to realize that he didn't see the daughter left by his original wife, and he also looked up to see his later wife.

Although his mother-in-law is not as good-looking as her original wife, she was also a big girl with yellow flowers before she married him. It's just that she was delayed in keeping her filial piety for a few years, and she was even more gentle and considerate to him.

A pair of sons and daughters will please him more than the one left before him, especially the younger daughter who is even more beautiful and pleasing.

But the one left by the original partner was also his daughter, and he still had to ask if it was gone.

"Where did girl Yun go?"

Feng's melon-seeded face and Liu Yemei, when he asked, the single eyelid twitched, blinked and smiled and said:
"Hey, look, I was just about to talk about this. In the afternoon, a rich man's carriage passed by the village. They said they wanted to hire maids to do work, and they gave back five taels of silver!
I thought that going to a rich family to work anyway, wouldn't it be better than following us in this poor mountain ditch without enough food and clothing?so I,"

"You sold my sister, didn't you?"

The smile on Feng's face was a little stiff, seeing that the person in charge of the house beside him also had a serious face, so he hurriedly let out a ouch

"How can I sell this? People say that you don't sell your body if you work. Then, the five taels of silver are wages. You can come back in the future without the contract of selling your body."

Cui Erlang's chest heaved up and down, panting heavily, looking at the five taels of silver on the table, the silver made his eyes hurt.

He didn't have much trust in this stepmother, so he turned to look at his father

"Father! Do you believe what this poisonous woman said? She appointed to sell my sister!"

Surprised and angry in his heart, he urged Erlang to take a few steps forward and swept a table of food to the ground.

What to eat!

They actually sold their sister, no wonder there were eggs and meat on the table tonight, they were bought with the money from selling his sister.

"Ah! Erlang, you are crazy. There is still meat in the dishes on this table. Your father was tired from work all day and didn't have a good meal. You suffer from the plague, why are you giving it away!"

Reminding Erlang to ignore Feng Shi, he looked at his father and asked
"Father! You also agree with her selling her sister, right!?"

Cui Laifu frowned and glanced at the five taels of silver on the table, paused and asked Feng Shi beside him
"When was Yun girl taken away?"

Feng Shi stood aside and said creakingly:
"Excuse me, you didn't leave long after noon,"

"I can't catch up after so long. Have you asked where the big family is?"

Hearing his father's question, he urged Erlang to stare at Feng Shi closely, but he heard Feng Shi say:

"Well, I don't know either,"

"You do not know?!"

Cui Erlang raised his voice and stepped forward to grab Feng Shi's collar. Cui Yongshu beside him, although he was only nine years old, was sturdier than him, who was 12 years old.

Go all out and knock him to the ground

"Don't hit my mother!" The two started fighting.

Nine-year-old Cui Jiaqin took a step back, turned her eyes and ran to Cui Laifu, hugging him and crying
"Daddy, I'm scared!"

Feng Shi also patted his heart and said to remind Laifu:
"Head of the family, look, this is going to do something to my stepmother!"

She also cried and said:

"As the head of the family, I know that I did something wrong, but the fortune teller said, our Yongshu is the fate of Wenquxing, so we can't delay it!

I can't help it either!
The big deal is that Yongshu will be admitted to the No. [-] Scholar in the future, so why don't we get Miss Yun back?

Yongshu is at this age, so hurry up and study!
In the future, if we urge the family to produce a student who becomes an official, isn't it also a matter of honoring the lintel! "

Cui Laifu's forehead was throbbing with blue veins, and a light flashed in his eyes when he heard Feng's words.

Seeing the two sons wrestling together, and the little girl crying while hugging herself.

slapped the table and shouted

"Enough! You two stop me!"

The two brothers who rolled on the ground heard his stern voice and then separated. Cui Yongshu got up with a snort, and said to Father Cui:
"Father! The so-called filial piety is beyond heaven, and he actually shot at my mother. He is an unfilial person."

He heard this sentence secretly following Cui Erlang to the school in the neighboring village. After all, this kid has a good brain, so he memorized it all.

The main reason is that he likes to show off, and often says something in front of the illiterate Cui Laifu, what the sage said, and many of them are wrong, and Cui Laifu doesn't know.

Cui Erlang knew that he was wrong, and he would be ridiculed if he kindly reminded him, so he didn't remind him.

This made Cui Laifu, who was already in awe of scholars, feel even more that this youngest son is a literary star descending to earth, so it would be better for him.

Jijiro sneered

"A father is kind and his son is filial, but how can a son be filial if his father is not kind?"

He said and went out
"Stop, it's already evening, where are you going?"

Hearing his father call him to stop, Erlang urged Erlang to turn his head to look at the four members of their family, feeling sad in his heart:
"I'm going to find my sister."

He said and ran outside.

Cui Laifu shouted behind him with a sullen face
"Come back! Where are you going to find this big night? Wait for your brother in the future,"

Cui Erlang paused in his footsteps, sneered, tears streaming down his face, and ran away sadly.

Why wait for the future, he doesn't want to wait for the future, he is going to find his sister now, he is going to find her back.

Before the eldest brother conscripted and left, he also told him to take good care of his younger sister, but he lost her.

"Ah~! Sister, where are you? It's because of the second brother's fault.

It's all the fault of the second brother. The second brother went to the school to eavesdrop again and left you alone at home. Come back soon, okay?younger sister! "

Cui Erlang ran all the way out of the mountain village, he ran blindly, not knowing where he was going?
As he ran, his mind gradually calmed down. If his sister was taken away by the carriage in the afternoon, he would definitely not be able to catch up at this moment. What should he do?
I thought of my grandfather's family in Meihua Village, which is close to Kaoshan County, two villages away. As a 12-year-old boy, he ate little and did a lot of work, and his foundation was not well established.

Running all the way to Plum Blossom Village, he was so tired that he was panting. By this time, it was already dark, and he ran to the door of his grandfather's house, crying and knocking on the door.
