Husband guarding the door
According to legend in Nanxi, Wenzhou's Jin Jianmin collected a simple and hardworking husband who heard the news that his excited and flower loving old man had a wild man. At first, he didn't believe anything because Lao Xu left him delicious food to eat and stayed by his side every night, being considerate and gentle in every way. It was impossible for that to happen. However, after listening to the cold words and gossip of neighbors, suspicion arose.
That day, he didn't go out for a long time and sat in front of the stove to smoke. After finishing his household chores, Lao Xun combed his hair and hair while caring for him: "What's wrong with you today? Are you sick? Don't go and chop sweet potato grass while sitting on such a nice day
Let's finish cutting the sweet potato grass last night
Okay, why don't you take advantage of the clear weather and go chop and carry firewood? Look at the firewood warehouse
I want to put on a pair of grass shoes first
Let me take a look at the pigs eating… Don't let the pigs eat well that day
Lao Xun glanced at him and went out. He put tools on the door of the inner room and put on his drafting shoes, thinking to himself: I'm guarding the door, who can get in!
Lao Xu returned with a red face and panting heavily. She thinks her husband is blocking the way and wants him to move away. He just moved away a bit. She blocked her way inside for a moment, then came out and pounced on her husband's back, saying:
You said you have good skills, I'll cover your eyes and see if you can tie up the straw shoe button
Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll show it to you
Lao Xun chuckled and tightly covered his eyes as he began to tie the first straw shoe button. At this moment, a strong man approached from outside the door and tiptoed into the interior. The button on the heel of the grass shoes is also tied. Lao Xu praised him, saying that a mouse had come out and she had to close the door and kill it. The door in the inner room was tightly closed, and the sound of bed boards colliding could be heard from time to time, accompanied by her cheers. Her husband could hear it clearly, thinking that Lao Xun was catching mice, but he didn't think much and just made his own grass shoes. When he was about to tie the straw shoe button in front of his feet, Lao Xun opened the door and came out, saying that a mouse had run through the window and was sweating profusely. She pounced on his back again, rubbed against him, praised him for hitting grass shoes quickly, and then coaxed him:
I still don't believe it. Your skill in tying grass shoe buttons is so good. You must have sneaked a peek through my fingers just now. I won't be able to tie them up without telling you with a cloth
Okay, keep it a secret, I'll show you again
Hehe
