Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 42
byPunishment and fire bed
They slept until the afternoon before waking up. The two had a simple meal and hurried to find the village chief Anmu.
“Grandpa An only said to meet him tomorrow, but he didn’t say what time. It shouldn’t matter if he’s a little late.” On the way to Anmu’s house, Anle tried his best to comfort himself and thought to himself, “It’s not like we violated the village rules. Even if we did, it was the first time. An Linmian and the others were second.We have been fined 100 yuan according to the village rules. It is impossible for us to be more serious than them… But the weather is so cold, I hope we will not be punished for copying the village rules. How can we copy the village rules if we can’t hold the pen in our hands… It is best to just scold us. After all, we will lose a few taels of meat after being scolded…”
Not long after, Anle brought An Xiaoyu to Anmu’s door with an uneasy heart.Just when Anle finished taking her third deep breath and still didn’t want to knock on the door and go in, Anmu’s rich voice came through the paper window of the study: “Aren’t you coming in yet?”
“Hey, Grandpa An~” An Le smiled with a cute face, and An Xiaoyu, who didn’t have much expression, stood side by side in front of An Mu. They looked like a well-behaved middle school student and a cold-faced top student who were caught by the class teacher for doing bad things. The middle school student had a guilty conscience and coaxed the head teacher with sweet words to get through happily, while the top student… the top student didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong at all, so his face showed no shame or fear.
Anmu sat on a chair and looked at the two of them with a smile, without saying a word.An Le’s heart went crazy at being looked at, and she lowered her head and looked at An Xiaoyu quietly.Completely different from him, An Xiaoyu stood upright and looked at An Mu intently.
Gee, how come this person can’t even admit his mistakes? Is it possible that he hasn’t been punished by the teacher?Only by bowing your head and admitting your mistakes can you be punished less.Anle said silently in his heart, stretched out his index finger and poked An Xiaoyu’s back quietly, using his eyes to signal An Xiaoyu to lower his head and admit his mistake.
But An Xiaoyu returned an unclear look.
Anle held her forehead and was speechless.
At this moment, Anmu said with a smile: “Xiaoyu.”
Look, look, look!If you don’t bow your head, you will receive special “care” from the teacher first!
Anle sighed in his heart.
“Grandpa An~” An Le called out coquettishly, moved behind An Mu, rubbed his shoulders and back, and said diligently: “It’s not like we violated the village rules, we didn’t go out either.”
Anmu looked back at Anle with a smile and said, “What? Are you afraid that I will scold Xiaoyu?”
“No~ you scold, you scold~” Anle had a cute smile on her face.
An Mu chuckled, looked at An Xiaoyu again, and said, “Su Su said you were asking her to read.”
An Xiaoyu nodded: “Yes.”
Anmu smiled and said: “I usually teach them how to read and write this season, but now they are older and their physical strength cannot keep up. I want you to teach them how to read and read for me. What do you think?”
An Xiaoyu nodded without hesitation: “Okay.”
“Okay,” An Mu said, “Then starting from tomorrow, you can teach them classes. You can decide how to teach them and what content to teach.”
An Xiaoyu nodded again: “Okay.”
It turned out to be class, Anle breathed a sigh of relief.
“Lele,” An Le just finished speaking, and heard An Mu say to him again, “Grandpa An also wants your help with something.”
Anle resumed the speed of beating his back, and said obediently: “Grandpa An, please tell me.”
Anmu smiled at Anle, and his eyes fell on the entire wall of bookshelves behind Anle.
Anle suddenly had a bad premonition.Sure enough, I heard Anmu laugh and say: “There are not many books in the village, and many of them have been damaged over the years. I wanted to find time to copy them…”
“No, isn’t it?” An Le turned around blankly, looking at the wall full of books, stammering, “Copy them all… Isn’t it… a bit much…”
Anle’s reaction seemed to satisfy Anmu. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, “What? You have other things to do? Do you want to demolish the Dragon King Temple or go exploring in the fog again? So, I haven’t settled the accounts with you for the Dragon King Temple. I left the temple in a mess…”
“Hey, hey, copy! Copy! Grandpa An, I’ll copy!” Anle quickly interrupted An Mu. He felt even more guilty when he mentioned the Dragon King Temple. After the repair, it was even worse than before. Fortunately, no one cared about it, so he turned a blind eye and passed by.
Anmu showed a satisfied smile again and said, “Then starting from tomorrow, when Xiaoyu is in class, you will come here to copy books.”
“Here, copy it here…”
I also wanted An Xiaoyu to copy it for me, An Le cursed.
“Yes, just copy it here,” An Mu said, “I’ll watch you copy it.”
“…Okay.” After An Le said, he suddenly thought of something and couldn’t relax. He smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, and he patted An Mu’s back diligently and said, “Grandpa An, in my opinion, don’t punish Lin Mianmaizi and the others to copy the village rules. Let them copy the books. It’s good to copy books, read more, and gain knowledge.”
Anmu shook his head comfortably being served by Anle, squinted his eyes and said, “Okay, as long as you can convince them, it’s not a problem if you want them to copy the book for you.”
“… It’s not to help me… It’s for the long-term inheritance of the village’s culture…” Anle defended herself in a low voice.
“Haha.” Anmu laughed meaningfully without saying a word.
“By the way, Grandpa An,” Xiao’s thoughts were clearly seen, and Anle was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, “Do you know how to make a fire bed?”
“Huo Kang, I know.”
“Grandpa An, you know!” An Le was surprised. He thought there was no fire kang in this era.
“I know.” An Mu said.
“How to do it?” Anle turned to Anmu in two steps and looked at Anmu with burning eyes.
Anmu smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, “Want to know?”
“Yeah, yeah.” Anle nodded repeatedly.
Anmu glanced at Anle and said, “I heard from Mianmian that Xiaoyu is a good cook…”
“Let him do it!” Anle said without hesitation, “Let him come and cook for Grandpa An every day!”
An Xiaoyu also said: “Well, what does Grandpa An want to eat? I’ll do it.”
Anmu smiled and said, “Let’s stew the goose. Mianmian has been saying all day how delicious the goose stewed with small fish is…”
“Good goose, good goose, let’s stew the big goose,” Anle waved to An Xiaoyu and urged, “Go quickly, let’s stew the big goose for Grandpa An.”
“Xiaoyu listens to you so much, and you still hate him?” After An Xiaoyu left, Anmu looked at Anle with a smile and said.
“How do I hate him?”
“Oh?” Anmu looked at Anle with a teasing smile and said, “Then who said Xiaoyu hates everyone?”
“…” I forgot, he really said that An Xiaoyu was annoying.
“It’s not so annoying now.” Anle muttered to save himself, pulled up a stool and sat down next to Anmu.
“Now you don’t hate it anymore? If you don’t hate it, you just like it?” An Mu repeated with a smile, and then said, “What about the husband Grandpa An chose for you? Fortunately, Grandpa An acted quickly and was not snatched away by others.”
“Grandpa An! You really did it on purpose! You’ve already noticed that we were faking it, right? You even wanted us to get married on purpose! Let me tell you, no one gets married right after falling in love!” An Le puffed up his cheeks angrily. He had long suspected that Grandpa An did it on purpose, and sure enough!
An Le smiled and said, “Are you not satisfied?”
“That… not really…” An Le suddenly lost his temper and said, “But you can’t mess with the rules, and you can’t bully An Xiaoyu just because he’s an outsider. He doesn’t like men…”
“But he said he liked you first, so why did I bully him? What? Now he’s turning towards his wife?”
“What kind of daughter-in-law? You know it’s a lie and you still call her that! Why are you like Lin Mian? You two are really worthy of being grandson and grandson, so you know how to tease me.” Anle raised his head and yelled in dissatisfaction.
“What’s fake?” An Mu smiled and knocked An Le on the head, and said kindly: “The marriage certificate was written by Grandpa An himself, how could it be fake? After worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping parents, and getting married, it is real.”
“No,” Anle puffed up her cheeks and muttered, “It doesn’t count if you don’t have feelings…”
“No feelings?” An said with a smile, “Do you have no feelings for him or does he have no feelings for you?”
“…You…know it all…and still ask me.” Anle glared at Anmu angrily.
An Mu stroked his long silver beard and said with a sly smile: “Grandpa An, I don’t know what you think, but Grandpa Yi’an looks at the way Xiaoyu is obeying your words. The one who has no feelings is definitely not Xiaoyu.”
“That’s different,” Anle muttered, “He took advantage of my guilt and didn’t like me.”
“Oh? Did Xiaoyu say this?” Anmu asked.
An Le was silent for a moment, then said: “He can’t accept homosexuality.”
“I still want to get married to you if I can’t accept it,” An Mu said with a serious expression, “This An Xiaoyu dared to cheat on the marriage and tricked us into happily getting married. Grandpa An must punish him.”
“They all say it’s a lie! They’re not a real couple,” Anle shouted angrily, “If there was another way to stay, he wouldn’t have to fake a marriage with me.”
An Mu said: “Why not? My good granddaughter gave him a chance in front of so many people.”
“He doesn’t like Lin Mian, so what’s the problem with rejecting him earlier? It’s better to be rejected than to be used.”
An Mu laughed again and said, “Grandpa An didn’t say he was at fault. There are many excuses for staying. It’s because he chose this way.”
“That…is forced by the situation.” After a while, Anle whispered.
“Oh – Lele,” Anmu sighed suddenly, caressed Anle’s drooped head, and said, “You have to think carefully, Grandpa An can help you catch the mermaid in this sea, but there is nothing he can do if he runs out of this sea.”
After a long silence, Anle whispered: “What can I do if he wants to run away, but I have to let him find his family. He misses his family, and his family is waiting for him on another continent. This is not his home.” After a pause, Anle added,”It’s just a play at most. Forget it, let’s not talk about this annoying mermaid, it’s too annoying. Copy the book, copy the book.” Before Anmu spoke again, Anle suddenly stood up and took two steps to the bookshelf to grab a book and copy the book to calm down.
Disgusting mermaid.
Annoying mermaid.
A mermaid with bad behavior.
Evil mermaid.
…
Anle scolded the mermaid in her heart while copying the book.Until the aroma of the goose stewed in the iron pot outside the window became stronger and stronger, An Xiaoyu opened the door and came in, saying: “It’s time to eat.”
“You can eat whatever you want! It’s great to know how to cook!” An Le glared at An Xiaoyu angrily.
An Xiaoyu stood blankly at the door, looking confused and innocent: “What…what’s wrong?”
