The slacker and his wife
In ancient times, in a city called Hamadon, there lived a young couple. The wife was very diligent, busy from morning to night, and was the leader inside and outside. And what about Zhang Da? But he was incredibly lazy, lying there all day long without even wanting to move. The couple often quarreled over housework.
On this day, when the poor wife was very busy, she suddenly found her husband, who had just gotten up, sitting blankly on the bluestone in front of the door. She was furious: "Hey, you Don't you feel embarrassed just staring at the sky like this?"
The husband replied angrily: "Can you take care of it? I inherited a large flock of sheep from my father and gave them away. I gave it to the shepherd, and he brings me fresh milk and cheese every day. Do I still have to do anything? As for you," he paused, and then said, "You are my wife, so you have to wash and cook." After that, he crossed his hands and looked at the sky.
"Sluggard!" The wife couldn't help shouting anymore, "I can do housework, but drinking water for calves is a man's job. I won't do it anymore, and you will do it from now on." !"
So, they quarreled endlessly, and finally reached an agreement: from the next day, no one is allowed to speak, and whoever speaks first will do it every day. Give water to the calf.
Early the next morning, my wife got up first and finished all the work without saying a word. And what about the husband? After getting up and eating breakfast, he stared blankly at the sky again. The two looked at each other speechlessly, but they were quite quiet.
After about an hour, the wife saw that her husband refused to move, and her anger slowly rose again. She really couldn't help being angry, but after thinking about it, she finally held it back.
The husband looked at his wife who wanted to speak but did not dare to speak, with a trace of pride on his face. The wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she put on her coat and veil and went to a neighbor's house.
The husband watched his beautifully dressed wife walk out without saying a word, thinking, what is she going to do? But I thought about it, but still didn't say a word.
Time passed quickly, and at this time, a beggar came face to face. The beggar approached the demented husband and bowed deeply: "Dear Sir, for ***'s sake, please give me something to eat!"
How dare the husband speak? Ah, he thought to himself, maybe this beggar was sent by my wife to test me! So, he remained silent.
"Strange!" The beggar wondered: "Is this man mute?" He moved forward again and said what he just said softly, but he didn't know that this man was still dumb. Silenced, speechless.
After everything was over, the old woman asked him for money, but he didn't answer anything. The obedient old woman reached out and emptied the lazy man's pocket and left with satisfaction.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lazy man dressed in strange shapes still looked up to the sky, saying nothing.
Suddenly, a dark figure slipped out from the corner, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of the lazy guy. The lazy guy was startled. He was about to open his mouth, but when he thought something was wrong, he quickly held his breath and remained silent. He thought it was his wife who sent him to test him! It turned out that this dark shadow was a thief. When the thief saw that the woman didn't say a word when he came in, he thought she was afraid, so he boldly stepped into the house. He rummaged around the house and put everything of value into the pockets he had prepared. In the end, as long as he could carry anything, he stuffed it into his pocket and walked away.
It was completely dark, and the lazy guy was a little anxious, and his stomach growled. Suddenly, there was only a "bang" sound, the cowshed next door collapsed, and a calf jumped out. It turned out that the calf, which had not eaten or drank for a day, was hungry and thirsty. He couldn't bear it anymore and finally knocked down the cowshed and rushed out.
When the lazy guy saw Mavericks rushing out, he thought to himself that this must be his wife's fault again. He decided to remain silent since he had persisted until now anyway. If you don't do it, you won't stop. Let him go!
At this moment, the wife suddenly discovered the frantic calf in front of the neighbor's window. She rushed out and grabbed the reins on the calf's nose, and the calf obeyed. stood down. The wife took the calf back home.
She saw a woman sitting at the door of her house from a distance, and she was puzzled: "Who is this? Why don't I recognize her! Why did she come to our house? Could it be that she is a lazy person..." The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, and she quickly said three times He approached the woman in two steps.
She asked angrily: "Hey, which family do you come from? What are you doing here alone?!"
When the lazy guy heard his wife speak, he happily He jumped up immediately: "Haha! You lose!"
He reached out and took off the wig on his head, and shouted happily: "Haha! Give the calf a drink!"
The wife then realized that the monster in front of her was actually her husband. She was very surprised:
"How could you do this?" When the wife walked into the house and took a look, She almost fainted. Everything in the house was stolen, and the ground was a mess. She couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly: "You lazy guy, are you dead? Everything in the house has been stolen. Oh my God, what can I do?"
Lazy guy He laughed proudly: "Stop pretending, you think I don't know! I tell you, I won't be fooled!"
When the wife heard this, she suddenly realized: It turns out that lazy people are just afraid Doing things without asking anything. She seemed so angry that she picked up her things, took the calf, and walked out like a gust of wind.
