Chapter 2010 Watching the Fun
In order to let her daughter study in a different environment, Mrs. Meng calmed her daughter down and used the mobile phone she used for herself but now gave to her children to go online to search for information on various middle schools in the city.
She searched out all the middle schools with high schools in the city and screened the targets. The best No. 1 middle school in Shishi and the top-ranked schools had no chance. After all, she was not from Shishi and did not have the principle of studying nearby;
Talking about Xiaoyan's performance, it is pretty good in terms of Fang County No. 2 Middle School. It is generally ranked within the top 30 and ranks over 100 among all high school students in the county. If it is ranked among all middle schools in the city, it would be Ranked out of a thousand.
Based on Xiaoyan's grades, it would be impossible for her to enter a key high school in Shishi City.
Meng's wife also had a reputation for self-awareness. She excluded key middle schools and chose middle-level schools. After discussing with her children, she finally selected three schools and wrote down their addresses and contact information.
By the time I’ve chosen my target school, it’s getting dark.
The small apartment that Meng's wife rented had a kitchen and bathroom. Because she was not planning to live there for a long time and had not purchased cooking utensils, she naturally did not have the conditions to cook by herself.
Since cooking was not allowed in the suite, Mrs. Meng went to the street to buy fast food and packed it back to the rented house to eat.
After dinner, in order to let her mother know that she only wanted to study, Li Xiaoyan would do her best to help her transfer to another school. She would read and do her homework by herself without any urging.
In fact, she couldn't read at all, and her mind was filled with imagining how people at school would react. She finally stayed up for more than an hour, and hurriedly checked her phone during the break.
When I checked the information on my mobile phone, I saw many people's messages on WeChat, Weibo, and QQ. They all called her shameless, called her a thief, called her a duplicitous liar... I saw hundreds of curses
. Li Xiaoyan was so angry that she almost cried. She also remembered that the comments in the comments told her to read the official website of the school with gloating, and she actually logged on to the official website to read it.
After going to the official website of No. 2 Middle School, she saw the school's latest public apology letter. After reading the content, she felt angry and anxious, and started crying again.
Mrs. Meng was getting ready to go to bed when she heard her child crying sadly again. She was startled and hurriedly comforted her. After a while of persuasion, she found out the reason and hurriedly read the school announcement.
After reading the school's announcement, she was like an eggplant beaten by frost, sitting limply and in a daze. The No. 2 Middle School publicly admitted that their supervision was not strict and they did not check whether the photos taken by Xiaoyan were from legitimate sources and were given to the school. Publishing it online not only leaked Lejia's privacy, but also misled students.
The official said that Xiaoyan's behavior was not good and she used secretly taken photos to impress the public. The school will discuss the outcome before announcing it.
There was a bitter taste in Mrs. Meng's heart. She remembered that people at the construction site reminded her when they heard that Xiaoyan was Le's cousin at school, asking her to take care of the children and not to be too arrogant.
Principal Yin also called her several times to ask her to take care of her children, but she never took it to heart. She believed in her children's character and felt that Xiaoyan did not deliberately promote that she was Le's cousin.
Moreover, she also felt from the bottom of her heart that it was not wrong for Xiaoyan to say she was the cousin of the Le family. Even if Xiaoyan was not related by blood to the Zhou family, she was Zhou Xialong's mother-in-law. If Leshan called her aunt, Xiaoyan would naturally be Leshan in name only. cousin.
I thought it was nothing before, but now I understand how serious the consequences will be if the Lejia girl does not admit that Xiaoyan is the Lejia cousin.
Finally tasting the bitter pill, Sister-in-law Meng's heart grew colder little by little. She couldn't say anything to persuade her daughter. She lay down silently, tears rolling out of her dry eyes. If she hadn't divorced Zhou Xialong yet, She doesn't have to go through this anymore.
Li Xiaoyan cried so hard that she cried for a long time. She found that her mother ignored her and went to sleep. She didn't dare to cry anymore. She wiped her tears, packed her books and went to bed.
Mrs. Meng felt sad and stayed up for half the night. She tossed and turned until late at night before she drifted off. She woke up early in the morning, packed up, and went to the market with her children.
The Zhou family didn't know what was happening to Mrs. Meng. The young and middle-aged people in the Zhou family got up at midnight, killed two pigs in the dark, and then made breakfast.
After breakfast, the person who went to pick up the bride cleaned up, the person in charge of the kitchen cleaned the meat, and started cooking the lunch dishes.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, also got up in the middle of the night and went to Zhou's house to help with the work. Little Le's classmate got up early in the morning and made breakfast to comfort the old man and the old lady who were worried that she would not recover from the acupuncture.
Mrs. Chao, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wu, had nothing to do, so they were waiting to go to Zhou's house for a banquet at noon. Lao Yan, Li Zhao, Yan Shao and Mr. Chao were not idle. After dinner, they took their belongings and went to the middle rice field to harvest the middle rice.
A student from Lexiao School has observed the weather and speculated that it will rain in the next two days, and the mid-season rice is about 90% ripe. If it rains before harvesting, the yield and quality will be affected to a certain extent.
The little girl said that it would rain the day after tomorrow at the latest, but Mr. Yilaoyan and Lao Chao could not sit still and rush to harvest the medium-sized rice. They were still waiting to taste whether the new variety of medium-sized rice was delicious.
The middle rice seedlings were too tall and the little Lolita was too short. She could not find anyone there when she got into the rice field. Therefore, she did not go to harvest the rice because it was not yet school time. She put her brother on her neck and stood on the edge of the field. Go up and watch.
Medium rice is a wild grass that little Loli brought back from Dongchen Continent. In order to ensure that it can regenerate next year, the seedlings are not harvested like normal harvesting of rice, but harvested like sorghum and millet - only one ear is cut, and the stem remains. fields.
Young Master Li Zhaoyan is responsible for carrying the basket on his back, and also chops the ears of rice. He cuts off the ears of rice and ties them hand-by-hand before putting them in the basket on his back. Once the basket is full, he carries it out of the field and delivers it to the roof of the second floor of the North Building of Lejia.
Mr. Yi and Mr. Yan each carried a basket on their backs. Mr. Chao was not as strong as others, so he just chopped the ears of rice.
Harvesting rice is called "cutting". No one ever talks about "cutting" rice. There is only the saying of "cutting sorghum". The medium rice grown in Lejia is also suitable for "cutting" rice ears, because the rice stalks are about the same thickness as the sorghum stalks. The ears of rice are basically more than one foot long, and the longer ones are more than 40 centimeters.
Le Xiao's classmates watched the rice harvesting process for a while, and then gave their younger brother lessons in advance. He first took an hour's piano lesson, and then went to the top of the South Third Floor to teach Junzi's Six Arts "Arch" and began to teach archery.
The Zhou family planned to go to Cao's house to pick up their bride after nine o'clock. When it was almost nine o'clock, the Le family's mid-season rice harvest had not been finished yet. Li Zhao left early, went to take a shower and change clothes, and went to the village office building to pick up Miss Le's luxury car. Drive out of the warehouse and park on the ground.
Some young people from the Zhou family and a few of Brother Zhou's buddies set off in a team after nine o'clock. They went to four covered electric three-wheelers, ten motorcycles, and a van.
A series of cars converged on the floor of the village office building. Brother Zhou took the lead on his motorcycle, and all the other cars followed the Bentley. Each car had a big red flower tied with red cloth on the front, door handles and mirror handles. Wear a red belt on it, which makes you look prosperous and energetic.
The handsome men who went to pick up the bride all wore white shirts and red ties, while the groom, Brother Zhou, wore a retro red wedding dress with a big red flower on his chest, which was a special happy color.
Zhou Tianlan of the Zhou family was the little golden boy who pushed the car, while Chen Xiaozhu, the eldest girl with a big face, was the one who held the umbrella for the bride.
The groom's family also has certain requirements for hiring an umbrella girl to the bride's house. The umbrella girl must be an unmarried girl. If she is a young girl, that is the best. Someone who is pregnant before she is married is definitely not acceptable. Yes, if someone who is not married but is pregnant deliberately does not tell anyone and becomes an umbrella girl, the man's family and the woman's family will be scolded to death if they find out.
The girl who holds the umbrella must also have both parents. It is best for her grandparents to live long and healthy. It would be perfect if she has brothers and sisters.
Generally speaking, the first choice for a bride to be an umbrella girl is a girl from the groom's family. If there are no suitable talents from the same clan, please hire a girl from a relative or friend. In fact, the Zhou family has unmarried girls, and they were originally planning to let the unmarried girls from the Zhou family go. As the umbrella girl, it was the girl from the Le family who suggested asking a girl from Chen Dalian's family.
Chen Dalian brought his wife and children back to Meicun to settle down. The couple knew how to behave and were not ostracized. However, because they had only returned to their hometown for a few years, and his children were all born and raised in Province C, the village He wasn't very familiar with her, and not many people had gotten married in the village in the past two years, so the older girl from his family had not yet been invited by anyone to serve as an umbrella girl for the bride.
His second daughter is a little younger and too short, not yet suitable for being an umbrella girl.
Naturally, Grandma Zhou and Village Chief Zhou didn't say anything, and happily invited the eldest girl from Chen Dalian's family to hold an umbrella for the bride.
Chen Dalian and He's sister-in-law were also very surprised by this. Chen Xiaozhu was also excited for several days. He showered and washed his hair early that morning, put on a retro Tang suit dress given by Sister Le, and tied his hair into two buns.
Chen Xiaozhu was also sitting in the lead car holding a long-handled red umbrella.
The convoy sets off.
That day is the 14th, which is a Saturday.
Because there are construction projects in primary schools and kindergartens, there is a large demand for daily necessities, especially vegetables and fruits, and it is the fruit and wild product season. Even if it is not a fair day, there are still many people setting up stalls.
When the motorcade with red flowers drove out of Plum Village and entered the urban and rural roads, it immediately attracted people's attention. Pedestrians, vendors and shop owners were also particularly curious as to why some people choose to get married in July.
The half of the seventh lunar month is the day when ancestors go home to visit relatives, which is also the Ghost Festival. Generally speaking, few people choose to get married in July.
Suddenly seeing a wedding procession, they all asked who was getting married.
Someone who knew Zhou Xialong of Meicun almost opened his eyes when he saw who the groom was leading the way on a motorcycle, and there were only four words in his mind - unbelievable.
Zhou Xialong just got divorced at the beginning of the month. In less than half a month, he is getting married again?
People who recognized Zhou Xialong looked at the convoy moving forward in a stunned manner.
Grandma Zhang went to her daughter's house after the double robbery. She was very excited when she heard the gossip two days ago that Zhou Xialong was divorced.
No matter how prosperous the Zhou family is, Zhou Xialong is divorced again.
When others get divorced, everyone will discuss it for several years. Zhou Xialong's reputation is even worse after he gets divorced twice.
The news of Zhou Xialong's divorce was like a stimulant, which made Grandma Zhang extremely happy. Her son Zhang Ke was divorced. It was clear that the woman stole a man and let her family help raise wild beasts. Others also said she was mean behind her back, so that her son is still Still can't find a suitable partner.
Zhou Xialong got married and divorced for the second time. This time, she felt that the reputation of the old woman of the Zhou family as a good mother-in-law would definitely be lost!
If the old woman from the Zhou family was really a good mother-in-law, how could Zhou Xialong's mother-in-law be willing to divorce?
Grandma Zhang was in a good mood. She couldn't stay still for a moment and just wanted to go back to the village early to watch the Zhou family's jokes. She waited patiently until the day of the fair, and then hurried back to Jiudao from her daughter's house.
When she returned to Jiudao, she went shopping to buy some things. When she was walking to Plum Village, she also saw the tail of the motorcade. She didn't pay attention at the time and walked into the village with a brisk pace.
People in Meicun Village originally didn't know that Zhou Xialong was dating someone again, or were not sure about it until yesterday when the Zhou family went to two families in the same village to buy chickens, ducks and kill pigs. During the day and overnight, most of the people in the village knew about Zhou Xialong. I'm getting a wife again.
It is the autumn tiger season at the beginning of autumn. The weather is extremely hot and it is not suitable to work all day. People who know that Zhou Xialong is getting married that day, except for the middle-aged people who have to go to the construction site to move bricks, the rest of the family have to go to work early to clear the fields or fields. After finishing her work, she ran home early and went to the village office building to wait for the bride to gather.
There were men, women, and children in front of the village office building, at least fifty or sixty people.
When Grandma Zhang entered the village, she was very surprised to see the neatly tidied men and women. She went over to listen to the gossip. She only heard that the Zhou family had killed many pigs and chickens, and she had no idea what the Zhou family was doing.
She couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "What kind of happy event is the Zhou family doing? Who has given birth to a baby or is it someone's birthday that has a big feast?" "
There is a happy event happening at the Zhou Xialong family." Youzuo replied quickly, somewhat aware of the Zhang family. The man who had gone to ask to marry Grandma Cao's daughter looked at Zhang's smile.
"Zhou Xialong didn't just get divorced, and his mother's birthday isn't at this time. What kind of happy event is his family doing?" Grandma Zhang was a little confused.
"Your news is lagging behind. Zhou Xialong's divorce happened ten days ago, and he married a new wife today."
"What?" Grandma Zhang almost threw away the bag she was carrying, and her voice suddenly raised an octave: "You You said Zhou Xialong got a wife today? Are you kidding? He just got divorced. A man who has been divorced time and time again and has been rejected by two women in a row. Which woman would still want to be with him?" The men and women gathered in front of the village office building asked
. Looking at the angry Zhang family who were blowing their beards and staring, they looked sympathetic. They probably only heard that Zhou Xialong was divorced, but not that he was marrying another wife.
A villager who was close to the Zhou family answered with a smile: "What do you mean by being unwanted by two women? It's obviously the woman's fault. Zhou Xialong didn't want to live with her so he got divorced." "That's right, it's obviously the woman's fault
. What does it have to do with Zhou Xialong?"
"Why are there no women willing to marry Zhou Xialong? No one wants to marry, and where does the woman Zhou Xialong is about to come from come from?" "Do
you think no one wants to marry someone like your son? You want to marry Zhou Xialong has many women, and many girls in their twenties want to marry him."
The villagers said something to each other, and Grandma Zhang could hear smoke rising from her head and almost wanted to hit her. What do you mean no one wants to marry Zhang Ke?
She was quite unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "How can a man who has been divorced twice find a good woman? She must be blind, lame or a fool to marry him." Now, all the villagers knew that
Zhang Not only had everyone never heard that Zhou Xialong was getting a wife, but they also didn't know who Zhou Xialong's new wife was, so they couldn't help but sympathize with her more and more.
The good-hearted person rolled his eyes, showed a narrow smile, and asked with a smile: "Zhang's family, I heard that you have chosen Granny Cao's daughter next to the word "Shizi", and you want to marry Zhang Ke, right? ”
