Chapter 631 Falling out:
It was almost eleven o'clock when Mrs. Zhou returned home with the girl from her parents' home in the neighboring county. When she saw her mother-in-law preparing lunch, she didn't dare to say anything. She put down her things and went to help.
Zhou Xialong called her last night to tell her that her family was harvesting rice, and told her that since she thought her parents' family was so good, she shouldn't come back in the future.
After being scolded by Brother Zhou, Sister Zhou couldn't say she felt aggrieved. She and the girl returned to Jiudao from her grandmother's house early in the morning. Even if she hurriedly hurriedly, she still couldn't get back to work in the fields. She came back late, so naturally she couldn't Dare to say anything.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, Brother Zhou returned to the Zhou family after finishing work, and also transported back half a truck of rice. The Zhou family didn't have much land, and they had enough manpower. It was still early to finish cutting the seedlings before noon, so everyone took the time to use the threshing machine. Thresh it and take it back to Zhou's house at noon.
People who came back from work were washing their faces with cold water in the courtyard of Zhou's house. Grandma Zhou didn't see the Le family father and daughter, so she asked her son: "Xia Long, didn't Lele and his father come here together?" When her mother-in-law asked about Le Yun, Sister Zhou
knew Zhou Qiufeng returned from hospital.
Zhou Chunmei was in the living room downstairs. When she heard her father and the helper coming back, she ran outside and showed her face, calling people one by one. Both Zhang Poluo and Village Chief Zhou responded calmly, and then ignored her. She retreated into the lower room again and felt very uncomfortable when she heard her grandma calling Le Yun over for dinner.
"Mom, Lele and Yueqing can't come over to eat. The father and daughter should have a lively meal at home, otherwise it would be too deserted to leave Qiufeng alone at home. When you are free in the afternoon, Mom, please help send a duck to them." Brother Zhou
. After answering, he fetched water and washed his face.
"Oh, that's okay. Lele is kind to her Aunt Feng, and I like it too." Grandma Zhou smiled happily. Qiu Feng gave birth to a baby. She can't go to other people's homes before she is one month old, not even her parents' home, even if she suffers so much. Recently, Qiu Feng couldn't come when Yue Qing and Le Le were invited to have a meal. Yue Qing and his daughter were not at home, so it was really not interesting for Qiu Feng to eat alone.
Therefore, Grandma Zhou no longer asked Xia Long to call Yueqing and his daughter to set the table for dinner.
The Le family was actually not deserted. Grandma Zhou Man was afraid that Zhou Qiufeng would be bored at home alone because Yue Qing and his daughter went to work for Brother Zhou's family, so she went to keep Zhou Qiufeng company and naturally stayed at the Le family for lunch.
There was Grandma Zhou Man staying with Aunt Feng at home. Le Yun was very happy. After eating, she even took Grandma Zhou Man away and gave her two packs of pills, one for Grandma Zhou Man and one for Grandpa Zhou Man, and told her Don't tell outsiders, lest all the old people in the village come looking for her.
Grandma Zhouman also knows the importance of keeping wealth hidden. The health pills Xiao Lele made for her and the old man are naturally precious. She will not talk nonsense. Once everyone knows about it, everyone will know it. The villagers ran to find Xiao Lele and asked for pills, but Xiao Lele died from exhaustion.
She also knew that Lele gave Cheng Youde's father, Liu Lu's mother, and Zhang Poluo's mother each a health pill, because those few had moneylenders to lend rice to Lejia during their most difficult time, and they were busy farming. Shi also helped the Lele family and was very kind to little Lele. She often helped take care of him. There was a time when Lele was weak and needed nutrition to improve his health. Liu Lu’s wife also took little Lele back to her parents’ home and asked her sister-in-law to feed her for a few days. .
Lele is a child who treats you well every time you treat her well. She remembers all the kindness others treat Lejia and the favors Lele family owes to others. She also remembers the evil others do to Lele family.
Xiao Lele used to be ungrateful when she was young, but now that she has grown up, she is slowly repaying those who have helped the Le family.
Grandma Zhou Man was very pleased. Xiao Lele was so sensible and would not wrong Qiufeng and Leshan. They were relieved.
Le Yun didn't take a nap at noon, soaked sea cucumbers, cooked lotus seed soup to relieve the heat, and went to the back garden to weed the sweet potato vines. At 2:30, she and her father set off to work in the Zhou family's fields.
Brother Zhou and others rested until three o'clock before going to work. Sister Zhou and Zhou Chunmei also went to the fields together. After all, it was their own work. If they didn't go, they would be sprayed to death by the villagers.
A group of people rushed to the farmland outside the village. They noticed the rumbling of machines in the field from a distance. They recognized the Le family father and daughter threshing rice fields. Brother Zhou couldn't help complaining: "Those two guys must be made of iron. In the morning You start work earlier than me, and lunch is faster than my boss's house. Where can I put my face?"
"Put your crotch on your pants." Village Chief Zhou glanced at Zhou Xialong's wife and Zhou Chunmei, and replied half-seriously.
Zhou's sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei also heard that Village Chief Zhou was talking about their girls, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.
Zhang Poluo and the Cheng family brothers laughed unkindly.
When they got to the field, Brother Zhou really wanted to put his face in his crotch. Yueqing and Xiao Lele went to the field without knowing when. The father and daughter actually loaded several bags of millet, and the bucket of the threshing machine still contained half a barrel of rice. .
Sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei didn’t know that the people in the field were Yueqing and Leyun at first. When she reached the ridge of the field, she realized it was Leyun. Then she saw Yueqing. Zhou Chunmei showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost: “Mom, Mom, Le Cripple’s legs Okay... okay?"
Zhou Chunmei felt that Yueqing was lame and embarrassed. She never called Yueqing aunt. In private, she always called Yueqing by her first name. She would call him "uncle" in front of people. Because she was so shocked, she blurted out and called many people "Uncle". Yueqing was nicknamed "Le Laizi".
Village Chief Zhou glared at Zhou Chunmei with great disgust, directly assuming that Zhou Chunmei did not exist, dogs could not change from eating shit, and people as rude as Zhou Chunmei could not be taught no matter what.
"Zhou Chunmei, you can't even call me daddy? Where are your politeness? Are all the books you've read for more than ten years gone to waste? My face has been completely embarrassed by you two." Brother Zhou heard that his girl didn't call her. Yueqing ignored him as "uncle" and called him a "lame", making his face red and thick-necked with anger.
"I..." Zhou Chunmei was stunned by the scolding, and couldn't realize what she was wrong for a moment.
When Mrs. Zhou heard the girl's cry, she also looked at the two people in the field. When she recognized the other person as Yue Qing, she opened her mouth in shock. Yue Qing's leg... wasn't lame anymore? !
"Old cousin, Chunmei was just too shocked at the moment. Don't get so angry. What if you scare the girl?" Sister-in-law Wu finally found the opportunity and hurriedly spoke to Zhou Chunmei.
"Shut your mouth!" Brother Zhou was furious: "Don't think I don't know that you and Zhang Jing are behind the scenes to instigate Liu Tong to bully my sister Zhou Qiufeng and let Chunmei bully Xiao Lele. I won't agree with you. The reason for settling the score is because I am a man and do not have the same experience as you, a woman. In addition, it is for the sake of Zhang Ke’s father and I don’t want Zhang Ke’s face to look ugly. Do you really think that you are the only one who is smart enough to use Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei as guns? You think I don't know anything?
It's true that Zhang Ke and I are relatives, but you are taking advantage of that relationship to come to my house and try to cause discord between me and my sister. How do you feel at ease? Let me tell you, my sister and I were born to the same mother. My sister and I are much closer than me and the Zhang Ke family. If you feel that you are worried because you have so little time to do at home, go ahead and give birth to a second child or a third child yourself. You come to my house like a shit stick and cause discord in my house. Don't blame me for not giving you a face and just hitting you in the mouth. "
"I...when did I do something strange? " How could someone as big as Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei believe what I say? It's their own business that they like to cause trouble for Zhou Qiufeng and Le Yun. You can't blame me and accuse me unjustly. "Sister-in-law Wu was pointed at and scolded by Brother Zhou, and her face turned green with anger. She refused to admit that she was behind the scenes to instigate Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei to make trouble for Zhou Qiufeng. When Brother Zhou got angry, how could Sister-in-law Zhou and Zhou Chunmei dare to say a word, quick and quick
? He ran into the fields to work, so as not to make Zhou Xialong angry.
Village chief Zhou pretended that he had not heard what Brother Zhou said and refused to dissuade him. Wu Lingling is a bully and fears the strong. She specializes in bullying honest people in the village. Brother Zhou is also an honest person. , but honest people also have tempers, and dare to fight with others when provoked.
"Old cousin, women... just like to talk nonsense. Your cousin-in-law has been angry these days and is not in a good mood. Don't be the same as her. "Zhang Ke felt shameless when he saw his wife making Zhou Xialong angry. He had to persuade Zhou Xialong. After all, it was a fact that his wife often made trouble for Yue Qing and Le Yun when she had nothing to do. Brother Zhou glared at Sister-in-law Wu angrily and turned his head: "Zhang
Ke Cousin, I don’t dare to trouble you and your wife with the little things at home. It’s so hot and I can’t take responsibility for your wife getting sunburned. You and your wife should go home and rest. I also wish you to have a second child as soon as possible. Fat boy. "
After being chased away by Brother Zhou, Zhang Ke didn't have the shame to stay and help anymore. He let out a muffled hum and stepped down the stairs: "You guys are all brothers, then we will go back. If you are too busy, call me. "
Hmm." "Brother Zhou nodded with a tigerish face, which was regarded as a step down for Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke knew that staying any longer would be a show of excitement, so he pulled his wife away. Sister-in-law Wu was humiliated by Zhou Xialong for the first time. She was so angry that she trembled all over. You can’t make a fuss, and you turn around and leave angrily: “Huh, I won’t even come if you invite me here in the future. "
"Don't worry, even if my rice is rotten in the field, I won't invite you. If my wife dares to invite you, I will divorce her immediately and let her live with you." Brother Zhou choked back before his anger subsided.
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head to work without making a sound.
Zhou Chunmei didn't dare to say anything to her father.
Cheng Youde, Liu Lu and others who were helping also pretended to be dumbfounded, pretending they didn't know Brother Zhou and Sister Zhang Ke Wu had a falling out, and quickly found work.
Sister-in-law Wu was so angry that her face was torn apart by Brother Zhou's words. She cursed Zhou Xialong in her heart as a "short-lived ghost" to calm down her anger, and walked out of Tian Jiang angrily without looking back. Go home.
After everyone had finished walking, Leyun was filled with emotion: "Without a shit stick, the air is fragrant now." "It's just
your nose that's not good." Village Chief Zhou shook his head in a funny way, and little Lele was also very angry. Zhang Ke's wife will probably faint if she hears this.
Zhang Poluo, Brother Zhou and a group of men laughed so loudly that they almost shouted "Well said". Sister-in-law Liu smiled so hard that she supported her waist: "Xiao Lele, Sister-in-law Wu is so embarrassed in front of you this time. I guess I'll take a detour next time I see you, so that you won't step on her feet by bringing up old things again." "If she does
n't want to be a troublemaker, I won't bother to pay attention to her and Zhang Jing, so as not to waste my saliva. I heard that Zhang Jing is looking for her. I have a very rich boyfriend in the city, and they said they would go traveling together during the summer vacation, but I don’t know if they went.” Le Yun pretended to be casual and talked about Zhang Jing’s “good luck.”
"Zhang Jing is back," Sister-in-law Zhao took over: "Zhang Jing's mother even came to my house to show off to the elderly that her girl was very popular in school, and many rich and powerful boys were chasing Zhang Jing. There were a few chasing her. Zhang Jing pursued her very hard. Zhang Jing agreed to go with one of her romantic partners. I heard that the boy's family was very rich and he was very good at sports. He also said that he would be a representative in some national college sports competition this year." "Oh
, Maybe Zhang Jing's boyfriend and I will become competitors." Le Yun was delighted. The gossip that Xiao Duzi found out said that Zhang Jing's boyfriend is a student specializing in sports. If she really goes to participate in the National College Track and Field Games, she will represent Qingda participated in the competition, and Zhang Jing's boyfriend was a competitor, a team, not an individual.
"Hey, what kind of sports competition is Lele going to participate in?" Liu Lu, Cheng Youde and others were very curious.
"Yes, I not only have to participate in national college sports competitions, but also in the National Olympic Games. However, my household registration is in the school and I will compete on behalf of the Capital Team. I will start the competition on the 15th. The first competition will be in Qin Province. ."
"Lele, come on, our village has never produced a sports champion. You go and win a championship and let us follow suit." "
Lele, I'm optimistic about you."
I heard that a girl from Yueqing is going to participate. Village Chief Zhou and others were particularly happy during the sports competition. Meizijing Village has always been an unknown village, and no earth-shattering figures have ever come out of it. If a celebrity can emerge, the whole village will benefit.
Zhou Chunmei was so jealous that she grinded her teeth. Why was Le Yun so good at sports? It didn't matter that she ranked first in the province in the exam, but now she is participating in the national college sports competition. She has taken all the good things by herself.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, Mrs. Zhou would laugh when others laughed.
After chatting for a few words, everyone had already moved the millet out of the field and bundled a lot of straw. Considering that there were enough people, one threshing machine could not be supplied, so two more threshing machines were needed. The machine is threshing at the same time, and one part is responsible for the threshing work. Some people bundle the straw, and some people load the millet. Brother Zhou and the village chief Zhou go to the pear field to spread fertilizer on the field.
Sister-in-law Wu was angry at Zhou's house and returned home angrily. Zhang Jing was blowing on the air-conditioning fan at home, eating iced cantaloupe and watching TV. When she saw her mother coming back, she raised her head and shouted: "Mom, I won't go to Zhou's house to help in the afternoon." ?"
"I'm not going," Sister-in-law Wu sat down angrily, gritting her teeth and scolding: "A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, I help you because I think highly of you, you still think you are great." "Mom, who are you
? Are you angry?"
"It's not that little bastard Le Yun."
"Didn't the Le family go to the county women's care home to have a baby?" "
Back, Zhou Qiufeng gave birth to a son, and Le Yun's tail was raised to the sky. ,I'm furious."
"Le Yun is not afraid of people snatching her property?" Zhang Jing was surprised to death. Le Yun was the stingy one and refused to give up to anyone who got half of his family's land. How could he accommodate Zhou Qiu Feng's son?
"Who knows, anyway, she is very happy now. Yueqing's leg is no longer lame. I heard that it was Leyun who cured it. The Zhou family, the Liu family, the Cheng family, and Zhang Poluo regarded Leyun as a treasure and kept fawning over Leyun. Xiaojing You must live up to your expectations, find a rich and powerful boyfriend, buy a big house and a car in the city, live ten times a hundred times better than Le Yun, and make them jealous." "Le Lai Zi's leg is healed?
" Zhang Jing caught the key point and suspected that she heard it wrong.
"Yes, Le Zizi's leg has healed. He was helping the Zhou family harvest rice. Zhou Chunmei just called Yue Qing. Le Zizi was scolded by Zhou Xialong. Don't go to the Zhou family to look for Zhou Chunmei in the past few days, otherwise Zhou Xialong may get angry. Spread on you."
Zhang Jing nodded: "Well, I understand."
Her girl was very obedient, and Sister-in-law Wu felt more comfortable, and asked again: "Didn't you say that Xu Wenxun wanted to take you on a trip, why haven't you said anything yet?"
"In a few days, he will travel to Qin Province and watch the All-Olympic youth team competition. He wants to observe and see how strong the youth team is. Most of the contestants are going to participate in the University Games."
"Oh." Sister-in-law Wu was satisfied. Her girl was amazing. She could charm the rich and powerful second-generation people in the city. She helped her girl buy brand-name clothes and lipstick. If she could help her buy a car, she could drive it back for a few trips. The circle would be better, but it's okay. I believe that cars and houses will be available soon.
She originally wanted to teach the girl how to control a man, but when she saw Zhang Ke coming back, she kept a cold face and said nothing.
When Zhang Ke saw his daughter and wife at home, he didn't care about his wife's cold face and went to the refrigerator to get food with a smile. The calmer he became, the angrier Sister-in-law Wu became, so she decided to take a nap by herself.
Zhang Ke wasn't angry either. He drank ice water, sat there for a while and went to pull weeds in the crop field.
By the beginning of August, the village was almost full of double-grabbing, there was very little unharvested rice, and there were not many families working enthusiastically in the fields under the scorching sun.
The people in the Zhou family's field are very hardworking. They threshed all the rice in the Zhou family's rice field before 4:30. The men helped transport the millet back to the Zhou family, and the women pulled the seedlings. They took the time to transplant many seedlings in the afternoon.
Lefu went home at five o'clock to help Zhou Qiufeng make chicken soup. Brother Zhou and others didn't finish work until six thirty. In summer, it's not dark until six thirty in the evening. During the busiest period, some people don't wait until seven o'clock when it gets dark. knock off.
In the evening, the Le family father and daughter still didn't go to Brother Zhou's house for dinner, and Brother Zhou and Grandma Zhou didn't force it. Grandma Zhou waited for Zhou Xialong to go to work and sent a duck and pig's feet to Yueqing, so she had the right to let them use them as food.
The two families are close to each other, and the chickens and ducks usually go to each other's house when playing. It is difficult to raise them well, and Le's father is not ready to raise them. When he goes home to help Zhou Qiufeng make chicken soup in the evening, he kills the ducks, cooks half of them at night, and cooks the duck paws and Chop the wings out and put them separately, leaving the little cotton-padded jacket for him to marinate and eat when he has time.
Brother Zhou was very dissatisfied with his wife and daughter who were always messing with Wu's sister-in-law Zhang Jing because of Sister-in-law Wu's affairs. He didn't even look at her straight. Sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei didn't dare to complain and tried her best to avoid making Zhou Xialong angry.
On the morning of the 5th, it took less than half a day to finish all the work in the Zhou family's fields. A group of people rested in the field ridges, drank steamed buns and water to replenish their strength, and then went to the fields of Zhang Poluo's family to continue sweating profusely.
Zhang Poluo's family has about the same amount of fields as Zhou Ge's family, and it is expected to be completed in two days.
Because Zhang Poluo’s family’s rice was being harvested at the end, there were two villagers who got along well with Zhang Poluo and went to help after finishing the work themselves. The new manpower worked faster. With the efforts of a group of people, it actually didn’t take two days. , I finished the work on the evening of the 6th, but it was just a little late, and I didn’t go home until it was dark.
