Chapter 54 Marry someone who is suitable for you.
The clouds in the west are as hot as flames, and only a ray of sunset shines on the top of the mountain. The cattle and sheep are put in the pen, the chickens and ducks are put in the cage, and the smoke from the countryside is curling up.
Dad Le drove home and smelled the sweet fragrance. He limped into the house and saw his girl sticking her head out of the kitchen with a bright smile. His heart softened. It was good for the little cotton-padded jacket to be at home. Ah, there will be food to eat when we come back.
Le Yun winked at her father and said with a sly smile, "Dad, we have guests tonight."
"Who is it?" Le's father asked casually.
"Dad, you might want to call your mother-in-law my mother-in-law and your sister-in-law." Le Yun stuck out her tongue, smiling non-stop.
Dad Le's face instantly turned red, burning hot. He wanted to find the courage to scold the girl, but when he saw the child's happy smiling face, he gave up.
"Lele, don't talk nonsense. If walls have ears, it will ruin other people's reputations." "
I'm not talking nonsense. It's just like that. Grandma Zhou and Aunt Feng are helping us with the work today. The area in front of the house and behind the village The sweet potatoes in the field are all finished, and the garden behind the house is almost finished."
"This... this is so good, and it makes them work hard." Le's father stuttered when he spoke.
"Dad, you, Sister Feng, came here on your own initiative. Don't let down other people's good intentions." Le Yun saw her father's face blushing slightly, resisting the urge to burst into laughter, and quickly turned around to cook.
Dad Le was so embarrassed that his old face was feverish and felt terribly hot. He quickly took a towel and went outside to wash his face with cold water to cool down.
As soon as he washed his face, the Zhou family's mother and daughter came over. They didn't pretend to ask the Le family to go to the Le family for more invitations and reminders. After taking a bath, they came to the Le family for dinner.
"Yueqing, are you back?" When Grandma Zhou saw Le's father, a smile appeared on her old face, which was particularly cordial.
"Aunt Zhou, thank you for your hard work again." Dad Le saw Zhou Qiufeng glance at him, and his old face became hot again.
"It doesn't matter whether it's hard work or not, it's mostly outsiders." Grandma Zhou stepped into Lejia meaningfully.
Dad Le felt guilty, and his face became even hotter.
Zhou Qiufeng felt awkward, glanced at Le's father, entered Le's house, took the initiative to help set the table, and then went to the kitchen to see if she wanted to help, but Le Yun kicked her away.
Le Yun cooked some vegetables, poured the cured pork ribs out of the pot, put them in a big soup bowl, and took them out on a tea tray. The three adults happily rushed to get the bowls and chopsticks. Grandma Zhou drank some wine, and the others People use tea instead of wine.
People in the past said that as long as you are happy, even drinking water will taste sweet. Zhou Qiufeng drank tea and felt very sweet in her heart. At Lejia, she felt relaxed. At home, facing her sister-in-law's face, she always felt depressed for no reason.
While the Le family was having dinner, Sister-in-law Zhou was still cooking. She only fried a green bean and didn't take it out. She called Brother Zhou to have dinner in the kitchen wing between the upper and lower rooms.
Brother Zhou entered the wing and didn't see my mother and sister. He immediately shouted to the upper room: "Mom, Xiaofeng, it's time to eat." "
What are you shouting for?" Sister-in-law Zhou glared at her angrily: "They are helping the Le family with work today, go ahead. The Le family has gone to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, so there is no need for you to care." "Why do
you speak so strangely?" "
Why do I speak incorrectly? I haven't seen my mother do any of my own work, and the same goes for your sister. I haven't seen her act like that in my own work. She is diligent and runs faster than anything else when it's her turn to go to Le's house. I really don't know where her home is." "
Liu Tong, don't make others want to tear you apart." Brother Zhou had a vague expression of anger on his face: "Who does most of the work in the house? Look at your hands, and then speak with your conscience."
"I..." When her husband called her by her first and last name, Sister-in-law Zhou immediately withered. She was I understand my husband’s temper. He is easy to talk to on weekdays, but can be very scary when he gets angry.
Sister-in-law Zhou's natal family is in a neighboring county. After her son took the high school entrance examination, he went back to his grandmother's house to play with his cousin. Grandma Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng were not at home either. The young couple was vomiting and no one came to calm them down. The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Grandma Zhou was in a good mood. When she came home, she swayed three times and improvised in her left voice, "Red plum blossoms bloom on the red rocks, thousands of miles of frost underfoot..." "Mom, hold on steady!"
Zhou Qiufeng supported her, Holding the flashlight in one hand, she felt extremely speechless. If she hadn't been with my mother all day, she would have suspected that she had picked up money today or taken stimulants.
"I'm not drunk, I'm stable." Grandma Zhou, whose face was red, walked vigorously and sang happily with the girl's support.
Zhou Qiufeng simply refused to persuade her. If she likes to sing, let her sing. Anyway, in the countryside, it’s not like in the city where people often report her for disturbing the people.
When Brother Zhou heard my mother's voice, he got up and went up to the house to turn on the lights and open the door. Sister-in-law Zhou was afraid that her husband would say she didn't care about the old man, so she also went to pick up her mother-in-law.
"What happy event happened? Mom is so happy today." When my mother and sister came back, Brother Zhou gave my mother a hand.
"Hahaha, it's Xiao Lele. Xiao Lele keeps putting vegetables in my bowl all night. She is so filial and sensible. If I had a granddaughter like that, I would wake up laughing even in my sleep and dreams." "Mom, Leyun is really what you said
. You are so good, someone has wanted to be a stepmother for a long time, Yueqing is not still single now, and besides, you also have a granddaughter, it seems like Chunmei is not filial to you." The mother-in-law was full of praise for the Le family children, which made her heart Sister-in-law Zhou, who was holding her breath, was unhappy and immediately retorted.
"Liu Tong, Chunmei was spoiled by you until she was fourteen years old and refused to get up every morning without being nudged or asked. She often had to be coaxed by her mother and Xiaofeng before she would eat. She was admitted to a medical school and Xiaofeng gave her 5,000 pocket money. In the past month, apart from asking for money, when have you taken the initiative to call home and ask if grandma and her aunt are okay? Are you sure Chunmei can compete with Lele?" It's okay not to mention my daughter, but
Brother Zhou gets furious when he mentions it. , The living expenses for other girls studying in college are up to 800 yuan per month, but for his girl, 1,200 yuan per month is still too little.
"I..." Sister-in-law Zhou choked again and couldn't say a word.
"Hey, Qiu Feng, I'm getting old. If there is a suitable family, you should marry her. Don't delay it any longer." Grandma Zhou didn't look at her daughter-in-law and walked past Liu Tong.
Zhou Qiufeng didn't want to get involved in the war between her brother and sister-in-law, so she helped her back to the room without saying anything.
Sister-in-law Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Her mother-in-law was blaming her for disliking her sister-in-law!
Brother Zhou didn't say anything at that time. When he returned to the living room and saw his wife following him, he became very angry: "Xiaofeng took out the money to build a house and sent her two children to study. Now you squeeze her money." You want to drive people away when you're almost done, right? Don't you keep saying how your parents' brother, brother and wife are doing? Just go back to your parents' house." After shouting, he didn't care about his wife and slammed the door
. , locked his wife out of the bedroom, and fell asleep.
"I..." Does Zhou Xialong mean to divorce her?
Sister-in-law Zhou was stunned and stood for a long time, looking at the dingy sleeping room. She was relieved when Brother Zhou didn't mention the divorce the next day. She was afraid that Brother Zhou would overhear what she said and hurt her, so she restrained herself a lot. .
