Chapter Twelve Missing a Wife
Li Dachun washed his face, followed his stepmother Wang Guihua into the kitchen, helped set the dining table in the yard, and helped put out the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks one by one, and then the two of them sat down at the dining table.
Li Dachun was already hungry. He reached out and picked up a white-flour steamed bun and took a bite. He then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of pickles and ate them deliciously. After a while, he had already eaten the white-flour bun.
Although the meal was very simple, both of them tasted delicious.
While they are eating, let's briefly introduce Li Dachun's family background.
Speaking of which, Li Dachun was also a miserable child. His mother died when he was three years old. When he was ten years old, his father remarried him, that is, he married a stepmother, Wang Guihua. The family of three was considered happy, but good times
Not long ago, just two years ago, his father also fell ill and passed away. Now he and his stepmother Wang Guihua are the only ones left in the family.
Li Dachun's father is a farmer and a doctor in the village, but he is just a barefoot doctor. He farms the land and treats people at the same time, which is half farmer and half doctor. However, although he is a barefoot doctor in the countryside, Li Dachun's father's father is a barefoot doctor.
He was very skilled in medicine and was well-known throughout the country, and many people came to him for treatment. Later, Li Dachun's father simply vacated two houses and opened a small clinic at home. In addition, he was too old to farm.
So he practiced medicine full-time at home, so all the work in the fields fell on the stepmother Wang Guihua.
Wang Guihua is a very kind person. Although she is not her biological mother, she is very kind to Li Dachun, as if she were her own child. She is also very kind to Li Dachun's father. In the words of the villagers, this is the blessing that the Li family and his son have cultivated in their lifetime.
, he met a good woman like Wang Guihua. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very capable and a good hand at growing crops. Since Wang Guihua came to the Li family, Li Dachun has never seen her idle for a while. She does this or that every day.
, very hardworking.
Li Dachun's father ran a small clinic. Although he didn't make much money, it was pretty good. His stepmother Wang Guihua was very capable, so the family of three lived a relatively happy life. However, there were unforeseen circumstances. One night two years ago,
Li Dachun's father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away suddenly, leaving only Wang Guihua and Li Dachun orphaned and widowed.
Fortunately, Li Dachun was already fifteen years old at that time, and he was considered an adult. He could also take care of the work at home and outside the house. In addition, after her father died, Wang Guihua did not remarry, but continued to stay in Li's house and take care of her inside and outside.
Li Dachun’s life, for which Li Dachun was very grateful.
Strictly speaking, Wang Guihua can be considered a widow, but she has an excellent reputation in the village. Even though she is a bit pretty, the bachelors with ill intentions do not dare to take her lightly.

"Dachun, why are you still wet?" Wang Guihua asked Li Dachun while eating.
Li Dachun took a mouthful of porridge and said: "Nothing, I went to the river to take a bath and didn't have time to change clothes..."
Wang Guihua was stunned: "What? You went to bathe in the river outside the village again? How many times have I told you that the river is evil and there are water monsters living in it, and something might happen..."
"Okay, it's all superstition... I've washed it so many times, but I haven't seen anything happen?" Li Dachun said casually.
"But as long as other people jump into that river, something will happen to them. They will either drown or be in bad luck for their family. In the spring, please listen to my mother's advice and don't bathe in that river again. Our family is not
If you install solar energy, you can wash it at home. Why do you have to go to the river? If something happens, how can I explain it to your father..."
"It feels good to wash in the river. Okay, don't worry about it, hurry up and eat." Li Dachun drank the remaining half bowl of porridge in one breath. Wang Guihua hurriedly took his empty bowl, stood up, picked up the spoon and started eating again.
After serving him a bowl, Wang Guihua's eyes suddenly fixed on Li Dachun's chest: "Eh? Dachun, what is that hanging around your neck?"
As she spoke, Wang Guihua wanted to reach out and touch the thing in Li Dachun's neck: "Isn't this a bottle? Why do you have a bottle hanging around your neck?"
Li Dachun hurriedly retreated, not letting Wang Guihua touch it.
"It's okay, just for fun." Li Dachun responded casually, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the jade purification bottle on his chest, and the questions in his heart swirled out again, what is this jade purification bottle about?
"Are you stupid? As a young man, why would you hang up a bottle when you have nothing to do? People all hang cross amulets. By the way, Dachun, if you go to bathe in that river again, just hang up an amulet. I heard that the water monster will
I don't dare to arrest you anymore." Wang Guihua didn't care and sat down to continue eating.
Li Dachun didn't answer, and hululu ate a lot. Finally, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked Wang Guihua: "Mom, is there really a water monster living in the river outside our village?"
"No, you didn't listen to the old people in our village who said that the river was in trouble. It seems that during the floods in the 1980s, the rivers in other villages rose desperately, and many people drowned.
People, but the river did not move at all. On the contrary, all the water flowed into the river, saving our village from a disaster..."
"So, the water monster in the river did a good thing for our village? But since it was a water monster, why did it do a good thing? I don't think it is a water monster." Li Dachun said.
Wang Guihua asked while chewing the steamed bun: "It's not a water monster? What is that?"
Li Dachun pondered for a while and said: "It's a fairy..."
Wang Guihua was stunned: "Fairy spirit?"
"She's a fairy, she's a beautiful goddess. Oh my god, she's so beautiful..." Li Dachun smacked his mouth, and the otherworldly handsome appearance of the fairy in his dream appeared in front of his eyes.
.
Wang Guihua curled her lips: "How do you know it's a goddess? You've never seen it before..."
"I've seen it..." Li Dachun said hurriedly.
"Where have you seen it?"
"Hey, in my dream..." Li Dachun chuckled.
Wang Guihua rolled her eyes at him: "In a dream? Humph, I also saw Tathagata Buddha in my dream..." But Wang Guihua realized something immediately, she turned her eyes to Li Dachun and asked: "Dachun, what do you mean?
Did you dream about the goddess?"
Li Dachun nodded: "Yes, it's absolutely true. The goddess Xianlao in the dream is beautiful, but much prettier than the village chief's eldest daughter Zhao Lihua... That girl looks... that skin,
That face...nothing to say, tsk tsk..."
Wang Guihua still stared at Li Dachun without blinking. Li Dachun was a little puzzled: "I'm talking about the goddess, why are you always staring at me?"
"Dachun, do you miss a woman?" Wang Guihua said.
"What? I'm talking about gods. Why do I miss women?"
"Isn't the goddess a female?" Wang Guihua said: "Dachun, you are also seventeen this year, right? You are already eighteen years old. It's time to get a wife. This man has been thinking about a wife since he was a kid...
..."
"No, I'm the one..."
"Okay, you don't have to defend yourself. Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. It's human nature, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. Dachun, don't worry, I've already told your Aunt Meiyu, let her do it
