Chapter 430 Secret
Zhou Qiufeng choked her niece away, turned around and wanted to do her own thing, when she saw Xiao Lele leaning out from the corner of the stairs, winking at him and smiling.
"Naughty again." Seeing her girl's smiling face, she couldn't help laughing and scolding her. Xiao Lele probably heard Zhou Chunmei calling her and ran to the corner of the stairs to eavesdrop.
"Aunt Feng, Sister Chunmei has been shot again. Less than ten minutes before Sister Chunmei arrived, Zhang Jing came to see Sister Chunmei." Leyun bared her teeth.
She was making medicinal meals upstairs, and Zhang Jing called Zhou Chunmei outside Zhou's house. She heard it, so she listened carefully to what the two people had to say.
The Zhou family is separated from the Le family by a road, not more than 80 meters away. The area covered by her hearing can reach 200 meters. It is easy to hear what the Zhou family is saying.
Overhearing Zhang Jing's words to instigate Zhou Chunmei, she didn't know what to say. Why couldn't Zhang Jing learn well? Zhou Chunmei was also stupid. She always believed whatever outsiders said and had no brains.
Just because Zhou Chunmei always got involved with Zhang Jing, she didn't include him in the list of relatives. For the sake of Uncle Zhou and Grandma Zhou, everyone can live well. If it weren't for the sake of Grandma Zhou and Uncle Zhou, Based on what Zhou Chunmei did to her when she was a child, she would classify people into the same category as Zhang Jing and treat them equally.
If Zhou Chunmei hadn't stepped on her all the time, she would have sent bags and clothes to Zhou Chunmei because Aunt Feng was now her new mother. However, Zhou Chunmei had been brainwashed by Zhang Jing and her daughter when she was a child, and she had no idea of hating her. Of course, with preconceived notions, even the smallest thing will make Zhou Chunmei’s dislike escalate to the extreme, so there is no need for her to give away her things to others. With Zhou Chunmei’s temperament, no matter how many good things she gives, I will take it for granted, and I will even treat her as a free shopping mall in the future and ask her for everything.
Although she has many luxuries, she can give them to relatives and friends, but she cannot give them to people who don't cherish them. Giving them to people who don't know how to be grateful and cherish them is a waste of the friendship of handsome guy Milo.
Classmate Le Xiao was not prepared to be a sister to Zhou Chunmei, so there was no need to give her anything to please others.
"I saw it too. I saw Zhang Jing coming in the back garden, and then I saw Zhang Jing going back. Lele, don't worry about Chunmei, she can do whatever she wants. Give your things to whomever you want, don't care about other people's "I think Chunmei is stupider than me. She won't wake up unless she suffers a big loss." Zhou Qiufeng laughed openly. She saw Zhang Jing when she came, so her niece came to find her, so she guessed that it must be another person. Fanned by Zhang Jing, he came to cause trouble.
"I'm afraid that Aunt Zhou will find out and say sarcastic words to deliberately anger you." "
Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I can't get angry just by a few words. If I were to get angry so easily, my bones would be able to beat the drum." She had suffered so much. Are you still angry? Being angry at her ex-husband's family and being angry at her sister-in-law at home, if she had the mental endurance, she would have thought of committing suicide.
"As long as Aunt Feng is open-minded, we are living our own lives. If anyone likes to chew their tongues, let them chew them first. When my dad doesn't use crutches and my brother is born, we, a family of four, will go to the door of those gossiping guys a few times when we have time. , piss them off."
"You are also a vengeful person."
"It is not a gentleman to repay a grudge, Aunt Feng, I am busy again. I will make sea cucumbers in the evening and pick up Grandma Zhou for dinner." "You are busy
. Yours."
Zhou Qiufeng watched Xiao Lele turn around and go back upstairs. She also went to the back garden to take care of the vegetables.
Classmate Le Xiao was a good boy. He said he would make sea cucumbers in the evening, soak them in water at noon, make dumplings and make pancakes in the afternoon, and run to Zhou's house as soon as it got dark in the evening.
Grandma Zhou was warming herself by the fire in the kitchen and talking to her son. When she heard the shouting, Brother Zhou looked over and saw the girl from the Le family jumping in. He asked with a smile: "Lele, you have finally stopped these days and don't go to the mountains." Did you run away?"
Zhou Tianming was a freshman in high school, and school started after the Lantern Festival. He was no longer at home. There were only three generations of grandparents in the family. Sister-in-law Zhou was feeding pigs, and Zhou Chunmei was still watching TV and playing with her mobile phone in the living room downstairs.
Hearing Le Yun's voice, Zhou Chunmei wondered if Le Yun had heard what her aunt said about today's events, and felt that it would be both emotional and unreasonable not to give her a bag, so she consciously gave her something, jumped up and ran to the patio. Looking over there, I stuck my head out and saw Le Yun coming in empty-handed. I immediately darkened my face and turned around to go back to the house.
"Uncle Zhou, I'm actually a good boy. I won't go into the mountains and let my dad and Aunt Feng take the blame for me." Le Yun happily ran to the door of the Zhou family's kitchen and smiled sweetly: "Uncle Zhou, I will make sea cucumbers tonight and pick up Grandma Zhou to my house for dinner. Grandma Zhou may have to come back later." "It's rare for
you to be so filial, so I'll be generous and let you pick up my mother. "Brother Zhou turned sideways in a funny way: "Mom, there's no need to be polite when Xiao Lele picks you up. Go quickly, otherwise Xiao Lele will have to come to pick you up later." "Well, I'm not polite
. Let's go." Grandma Zhou stood up happily, patted her clothes, and happily went to her son-in-law's house as a guest.
Le Yun supported Grandma Zhou and returned to her own home from Zhou's house. She then helped Grandma Zhou to the kitchen to sit and warm herself by the fire. When the old man sat down, she was not in a hurry to make food. She leaned over and whispered: "Grandma Zhou, I asked How many chickens do you have at home? How many broods of chicks will you hatch this February?"
"Lele, why are you asking? Who wants to buy chickens?" Grandma Zhou was confused: "I have twenty chickens at home. I have four big chickens. I am saving fresh eggs. I may add a new brood of chicks in February." "
Grandma Zhou, I suggest you hatch two more broods when you are old, otherwise you will not have enough chickens when you become a grandma. Buy it from someone else."
"That's enough. There is no married woman in the Zhou family who wants to have a child, so who should I be the grandmother?" Before
Grandma Zhou could react, Le Yun chuckled: "Grandma Zhou, I am Feng Isn't Auntie a girl from the Zhou family? If the baby born by my Aunt Feng is not called your grandma, who will be called grandma?" "
Of course Qiufeng is a girl from the Zhou family, and of course Xiaofeng's baby will be called my grandma... hmm? Qiufeng gave birth to a baby... Treasure?" Grandma Zhou didn't react at first. She was very sure of the deal, and then grabbed the child next to her: "Lele, what did you just say? Can you explain it more clearly? I don't understand it very well." Le Yun said
. Go to Grandma Zhou and whisper: "Grandma Zhou, my Aunt Feng is pregnant. You are going to be a grandma this year. Grandma Zhou, don't be excited. This is a secret. Don't let others hear it."
"Ah?" When she heard the sentence "My Aunt Feng is pregnant", Grandma Zhou's body bounced and she straightened up. When she wanted to shout excitedly, Lele gently covered her mouth. Her eyes opened wider and wider. Shortness of breath.
Le Yun, who was preventing Grandma Zhou from being too excited and screaming, covered the old man's mouth and waited until she took a few breaths before letting go: "Grandma Zhou, Aunt Feng has been pregnant with the baby for more than three months. We are afraid that someone will deliberately cause harm. I didn’t say it. I originally wanted to wait until Aunt Feng’s belly was so big that she couldn’t hide it before I let you know. I thought, Grandma Zhou, that you are the baby’s grandma. Of course, I wanted to know the good news first, so I told you quietly, old man, so you have to be conservative. It’s a secret, don’t let others know it yet.”
“Really, really?” Grandma Zhou’s hands were shaking with excitement, and her voice was choked with sobs: “Lele, your Aunt Feng...can she have children?” “Yes,”
Lele Yun whispered: "Grandma Zhou, you have forgotten. My grandfather checked Aunt Feng's pulse and said that although Aunt Feng is more difficult to give birth to, it is not impossible. I went to the mountains so many times last summer and finally found all the medicinal materials to help Aunt Feng prepare. Aunt Feng was pregnant with a baby soon after taking the pills to take care of her body. Because Aunt Feng was pregnant with the baby, she couldn't drink." "Thank God, thank God!" Grandma
Zhou burst into tears when she heard that her girl could have children. Qiu Feng got married. She didn't have any children for many years, and was called a "hen that can't lay eggs." She suffered a lot in the Li family, and even after she got divorced, she was looked down upon by the villagers.
After remarrying after many years, when she heard that she was pregnant in the blink of an eye, Grandma Zhou's heart suddenly brightened up because she could not have children. The stone that weighed down her heart because of the girl's infertility was thrown away, and she cried with joy. .
Zhou Qiufeng came back from feeding the pigs. When she walked to the kitchen, she heard her mother's sobs. She rushed to her side in two steps: "Mom, did my sister-in-law and Chunmei choke you again?" "No...no, it's nothing
. "The girl rushed over. Grandma Zhou wiped her tears happily and grabbed her daughter's hand: "Qiufeng, Lele said you, you...are you pregnant?" Zhou Qiufeng originally suspected that Chunmei was the one who complained because of her mother's behavior, so her sister-in-
law I was angry with my mother again, and I was angry in my heart. When I heard the old mother suddenly asked about the baby, I realized that I might have misunderstood, and that my mother might have been so excited that she cried when she heard that she was pregnant.
Feeling warm in my heart, I couldn't help but have a sweet smile on my face: "Yes, Mom, I am pregnant with the child, almost four months ago, because some people in the village have very bad thoughts, and we are worried that those people will always come to cause mischief if we tell them. It's hard to guard against it, so
I kept it secret and didn't tell you." "Yeah, it's better to hide it, hide less things, so that others don't deliberately say angry words to annoy you, and continue to hide it in the future, until the belly gets bigger and you can't hide it anymore. We'll talk about it later."
"Lele said the same thing, so Yueqing and I also felt that more things were better than less things, and we didn't say anything. We just felt a little sorry for Mom, even you kept it in the dark." "This
matter I don’t blame you for hiding the matter from me. You were also afraid
that I would worry. The four-month-old fetus was able to sit firmly, so I felt relieved.” Only when I am happy can I get pregnant."
"I understand, it's good if you can give birth..." Grandma Zhou burst into tears again. The girl became pregnant, and she was freed from the bad reputation of being infertile, and she would no longer be inferior to others.
Zhou Qiufeng persuaded and coaxed her, and it took a lot of effort to coax her. Grandma Zhou took the girl and talked about what she should pay attention to when she was pregnant with a child, and she talked endlessly.
When Dad Le came home, what he saw was his mother-in-law holding Qiu Feng and talking to each other. He also noticed that the way his mother-in-law looked at him was particularly...happy. Yes, he could feel that his mother-in-law was in a good mood. He didn't ask much why. , called "aunt" as innocently as before, and sat down to help light the fire.
Le Yun didn't bother Grandma Zhou to teach Aunt Feng the old-fashioned way to prepare food quickly, including two seafood dishes, braised pork ribs and vegetables, and used the pork ribs as the base of the hot pot.
We had a great time having dinner. Grandma Zhou chatted at Le's house until ten o'clock. Brother Zhou went to his brother-in-law's house to pick up my mother, and Grandma Zhou happily went home with her son.
Outside the gate of Zhou's house, Grandma Zhou turned around and saw Qiufeng and Xiao Lele going back. She took her son's hand and spoke quietly: "Xia Long, your sister and your brother-in-law are recuperating. You can't be too tired in a short time. I am preparing to plant medium-sized rice. I think it would be a pity to only plant such a good field for one season. Please take care of Lejia's fields and help them with the first season of rice this year. After the first half of the year, Lejia's work will no longer require you. What are you worried about?"
"Mom, you don't need to be so secretive about such a trivial matter."
"No, it's very important." Grandma Zhou asked her son to come over: "Let me tell you the truth, Qiufeng is pregnant, and you are going to be an uncle soon. Lele and Qiufeng Yueqing kept it secret for fear of being misunderstood, so Lele told me today. Lele said that except for me, our family can let you know, and no one else can tell it. Xia Long, do you understand?"
When Brother Zhou heard that his sister was pregnant, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. After a while, he touched the back of his head: "Mom, you didn't lie to me, did you? Xiaofeng..." "It's true, Lele helped me last
year Qiufeng prepared some medicine to nurse her body back to health, and she became pregnant soon after, so your sister didn't do any heavy work last winter." "
Mom, I understand. I will never tell anyone. The matters concerning the fields and land of my brother-in-law's family are left to me. I, I will manage it."
Brother Zhou was shocked at first, and then he was pleasantly surprised. His sister was pregnant, which proved that those people who said that his sister could not have children were all nonsense. When his nephew was born, he would slap those people hard. He said that he would never be able to taste what his uncle was like in his life, and he especially wanted to slap Qiufeng's ex-husband's family. He would never forget the heart-wrenching words her ex-in-laws said when his sister divorced.
"You have to teach your nephew to be nice to Lele in the future. Without Lele, there would be no nephew." "
I understand these. Mom, go back to bed and have a good night's sleep tonight." The old mother said and lost her voice. In tears, Brother Zhou hurriedly supported his mother and persuaded her to go home.
Grandma Zhou was also afraid of speaking too loudly and letting other people in the family know, so she wiped her face and went home with her son Zhou Xialong.
Aunt Zhou went to bed, and Zhou Chunmei was still watching TV series. She didn't realize that her father and grandma were talking outside about a major event that would shock the whole village in the future.
Grandma Zhou and Brother Zhou were in a good mood. They slept very soundly at night. They slept until dawn, and when they woke up, they felt clear and bright even when they looked at the misty sky.
Le's father set off for work as usual in the morning. Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng went to work in the fields with shovels. Several pieces of land were plowed, and there were still more than an acre of land and two gardens that were not plowed.
Le Xiao's classmates have endless strength and are very fast at shoveling the ground. Two people, one senior and one junior, worked for two days to plow a piece of land and two gardens so that they could plant corn directly by the end of February.
Zhou Qiufeng and Lele's father couldn't let go of the girl and could not spare any time. On January 17, Zhou Qiufeng reluctantly sent little Lele to Shennong District to take a tour bus and transfer to Changshi to take a bus to the capital to take the high-speed rail back to school.
