It is said that in the early years, the specific time is unknown, there is a small town somewhere in present-day Sichuan, there is a steamed bun shop in the town, and the owner of the steamed bun shop has a leg disease, and when he walks, one heavy and one light, swaying from side to side.
The owner of the steamed bun shop is surnamed Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui was a laborer in his early years, specializing in hard work to earn money, once he was hit by a collapsed stone pillar to his feet, and since then he has fallen into a leg disease, so he returned to his hometown to open a steamed bun shop.
Wang Fugui made a bun with thin skin and a lot of filling, which was deeply loved by the townspeople, and Wang Fugui also accumulated a lot of money, and when the money was earned, Wang Fugui wanted to marry a wife, but because of lameness, no one wanted to marry him.
Until a matchmaker told him about a woman who was also lame, Wang Fugui finally became a family, and after becoming a family, the two became more and more prosperous, and in the third year, Liu's pregnancy, Wang Fugui was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
But there were unforeseen circumstances, when Liu's gave birth to a child, he had a difficult birth and hemorrhage, and Liu's failed to save it, Wang Fugui was heartbroken, but fortunately, the child was fine.
Wang Fugui took care of the child as a father and a mother, and did not remarry, naming the child Wang Xiaoming.
Ten years passed, and on this day, the flour at home was gone, so Wang Fugui went to the store to buy flour, and when he walked to a place, he saw many people sitting on the ground in rags.
Wang Fugui leaned over and asked the onlookers what happened, everyone's faces were heavy, and between the gossip, Wang Fugui came to a rough conclusion.
It turned out that there was a great drought in the north, there was no harvest in the fields, many people starved to death, and the scene of changing children and eating happened from time to time, and these people were fleeing to people.
But the food in the town was limited, and everyone could not be taken care of, and many people starved to death, and every day people from the government would come to check if anyone had died, and if they did, they would throw the bodies in mass graves to prevent the plague.
However, there are still many people in the town who will give some food to help this group of people, but they are all palliative.
The group is getting smaller and smaller, some are starving to death, and some are fleeing farther south without hope.
One morning, when Wang Fugui opened the door to sell steamed buns, he saw two people snuggling up to each other at the door, the two of them were skinny and pale.
Wang Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to probe that the two of them were snorting, fortunately, although they were weak, they were still breathing, Wang Fugui looked at the neighbors left and right, and no one noticed, so he took the two back to the house and asked Wang Xiaoming to take care of the two people, and he went to boil a pot of porridge and slowly fed it to the two.
It wasn't until the evening that the two woke up and saw Wang Xiaoming, who had been guarding the side, and the two did not speak.
Wang Xiaoming saw these two people wake up, so he immediately went to find Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui walked into the house and saw that the two had really woken up as his son said, so he heated the porridge again, and then served it to the two. The mother is Liu, and the daughter is called Li Ying.
Liu and Li Ying's family is still a rich family in the north, and they are kind to others, Li Ying's father Li Dashi took out the family's food for disaster relief, but due to the drought, all the people have lost their conscience, and the people who have nothing to eat are organized, and the pets rush into the house, burn and loot, Li Dashi was killed by the refugees, and Liu and Li Ying slipped away from the back door to save their lives when the door of the house was broken.
The two depended on each other for their lives, went all the way south, and endured a lot of hardships to get here.
Wang Fugui expressed deep sympathy for Liu's plight, and also understood the seriousness of the natural disaster now, and his wealth was not exposed.
Wang Fugui said to Liu: "You two have nowhere to go, it's better to stay, I still have a room for the two of you to live in." ”
Liu shook his head and refused: "No, we will drag you down, and when I recover a little strength, we will leave." ”
Wang Fugui continued to persuade: "Why don't you stay and help me sell steamed buns, I'm a little too busy to be alone now, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your daughter Li Ying." ”
In the end, Liu looked at his haggard daughter before nodding in agreement.
Since then, there has been an old woman in Wang's steamed bun shop, Wang Fugui said to the outside world that this old woman is his relative, and Li Ying has been with Wang Xiaoming in the back room and rarely appears in front of outsiders.
Wang Xiaoming also likes sixteen-year-old Li Ying very much, and Li Ying also treats Wang Xiaoming as his own brother and often gives him candy to eat.
And Wang Xiaoming felt the missing maternal love from Liu, and he was very happy. Liu and Li Ying kept their homes in order, sewing and mending for Wang Fugui and Wang Xiaoming, washing and washing.
In this way, two years have passed, Wang Xiaoming is also twelve years old, and Li Ying is eighteen years old. On this day, Liu found Wang Fugui and said to him: "You see that my daughter Ying'er is also eighteen years old, and Ming Wazi is also twelve, the two of them get along happily, it is better to marry Ying'er to Ming Wazi." ”
After hearing this, Wang Fugui hurriedly refused: "No, Ming Wazi is still young, this is not delaying Ying'er, I also treat Ying'er as my own daughter, I will definitely find a good family for her and marry in a beautiful way." ”
Liu insisted: "Ying'er will be married to Ming Wazi, and this matter is decided." ”
Wang Fugui said: "What does Ying'er think, don't force her." ”
After Li Ying heard Liu's words, she said to Liu shyly: "Listen to my mother's orders." This is also a promise in disguise.
But Wang Xiaoming didn't know what Xu Pei meant. Liu said to Wang Xiaoming: "Ming Wazi, do you want to be inseparable from Sister Ying all the time?"Wang Xiaoming nodded and replied: "I won't be separated from Sister Ying, if anyone bullies her, I will beat her." Li Ying also said: "Okay, Ming'er, if anyone bullies me in the future, you will beat him, and my sister will buy you candy to eat." ”
Seeing this, Wang Fugui did not stop him, he also knew that Li Ying was very good to his son and the family, and he also intended to let Li Ying be his daughter-in-law, but he was not good at speaking, otherwise it would be a grace and a hug.
Wang Xiaoming happily pulled Li Ying out to play, and on the way, Li Ying bought Wang Xiaoming a string of sugar gourds. The two played happily until it was almost dark before going home.
Unexpectedly, all this was seen by the bullies in the town, and the bully Zheng Tao saw that Li Ying was smart, so he started Li Ying's idea.
Zheng Tao followed Li Ying all the time, and only left when he saw Li Ying enter Wang Fugui's house.
The next day, Zheng Tao directly took the gift and came to Wang Fugui in front of the bun shop and said to Wang Fugui: "Bun guy, I have a crush on your daughter, this is a dowry, I will marry her tomorrow." Zheng Tao put down his things and left.
Wang Fugui is difficult to do, everyone in the town knows that Zheng Tao is an out-and-out bully, his uncle is the county magistrate of the county, and Zheng Tao relies on his uncle's relationship to do evil in the town.
Zheng Tao married several concubines, but they were all tortured.
Wang Fugui said to Liu: "You leave overnight, and leave it to me here." ”
When Liu Shi heard it: "No, if our mother is gone, Zheng Tao will definitely spread his anger on you, this is not harming you." It's just that Ying'er didn't have that life. ”
Just when Wang Fugui and Liu's faces were full of gloom, a richly dressed young man walked up to Wang Fugui and said to Wang Fugui: "Brother, do you remember me?"Three years ago, the down-and-out scholar?”
Wang Fugui has helped too many people, he didn't think about it for a while, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Are you Sun Wen?"”
Yes, brother, it's me, I see what's wrong with your sad face, I have some ability now to help you come up with ideas. ”
Sun Wen was a scholar whom Wang Fugui had rescued three years ago, gave him some buns and broken silver, and let him stay for a few days.
Wang Fugui then said that Zheng Tao wanted to marry Li Ying, and said that Li Ying already had a marriage contract with his son Wang Xiaoming.
Sun Wen said: "Little thing, let Li Ying and Wang Xiaoming get married tomorrow, and I will be a witness." ”
Wang Fugui thought about it, and this was the only way.
The next day, Li Ying and Wang Xiaoming visited the church to get married, at this time, Zheng Tao rushed over, scolded Wang Fugui, and wanted to beat Wang Fugui, just at the last moment, Sun Wen waved his hand, only to see the crowd ** two people, directly took Zheng Tao down, and then the worship was held as scheduled.
At this time, everyone knew that Sun Wen was already the prefect, and he also informed Zheng Tao and his uncle to investigate thoroughly.
Sure enough, the two were embarrassed, and Sun Wen put them in prison together and went to court for interrogation on a later day.
Liu told Li Ying before entering the cave room: "Ming Wazi is still young, so don't round the room." Li Ying nodded shyly.
At night, Li Ying and Wang Xiaoming played for a while, Wang Xiaoming wanted to leave, Li Ying grabbed his hand and said to him: "We will sleep together in the future." ”
Wang Xiaoming was unwilling, Li Ying had to say: "Be good, if you are obedient, I will give you candy to eat." Only then did Wang Xiaoming be appeased. Li Ying extinguished the candle and shared the bed with Wang Xiaoming.
Zheng Tao was sentenced to beheading for bullying men and women in the town, while his uncle was removed from his official position and exiled for 3,000 miles.
Six years have passed, Wang Xiaoming is eighteen years old, and Li Ying and Li Ying are also natural, and Li Ying gave birth to a son for Wang Xiaoming. The husband and wife have lived a glue-like life since then, and those days are really enviable.
And Wang Fugui has been helping the poor people as always over the years, and has won the title of Wang Shanren in the local area, which should be a good reward!
