Chapter 88 Happiness
Brother Zhou, Sister Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng finished work at the same time. After returning home, Sister Zhou went to take a shower first. Brother Zhou washed his face and went down to the living room to eat watermelon. Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming were also there, playing with their mobile phones.
Zhou Chunmei is nineteen years old in the first lunar month of the lunar calendar. She is twenty years old. She studied in the city and opened her eyes to keep up with the fashion. She wears black silk stockings and a red short skirt. She is as gorgeous as a fire. Walking on the street, you can't tell the difference. It doesn’t matter if you are a city kid or a country kid.
Zhou Tianming is also fifteen years old. He is one year and one month older than Le Yun in the third month of the lunar calendar. He is quite tall, over 1.7 meters tall.
The two siblings each had a mobile phone and had a great time playing together.
The son and daughter-in-law helped with the work, while Grandma Zhou fed the chickens, ducks and newly bought piglets at home, and cooked for the two children.
The old man was selecting pumpkin seedlings in the side room when he heard the clear and sweet voice of "Grandma Zhou, Grandma Zhou, are you at home?" He hurriedly threw away the melon seedlings and responded while leaving the side room.
Brother Zhou also heard the sound and knew that Lele was coming. He stood up and gnawed the watermelon and walked out of the next building.
Zhou Chunmei, who was playing with her mobile phone, suddenly became tense and gloomy. She stood up angrily and followed her father.
"Lele, you're finally home. I almost thought you were going to be a god in the mountains." Grandma Zhou walked out of the wing and saw the Lele girl entering the house with a smile on her face, carrying a red food bag. Laughter lines.
"I would like to be a god in the mountains, but I can't let go of my family, Grandma Zhou and everyone, so I come back in despair and become a commoner." Le Yun stepped into Zhou's house and saw Grandma Zhou sticking her head out of the wing
. She ran forward quickly: "Grandma Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your face is rosy, your body is as light as a swallow, and you look several years younger." "You are the only one who can
coax people, and half of my body is buried in the ground ." You are so dark and young, so where can you go? Look at the things you are carrying. Did you not come back for too long? Your father scolded you. You want to bribe me with your things and ask me to help you out?"
"No, dad can't bear to scold me. Besides, my dad wants to scold me. Aunt Feng, a new mother, can save me. If dad really wants to beat me, go to Grandma Zhou. You can't save me from a distant fire. Wait until you run away. In the past, I was spanked so hard that my butt blossomed."
"..." Brother Zhou just walked through the patio from the lower building and stepped onto the upper room. Hearing Xiao Lele's words, he immediately steadied his feet. Xiao Lele is Very happy, right?
"Lele, your Aunt Feng broke the evidence with your father before you came back. Don't you blame them?" Grandma Zhou was a little worried. When her son came back and said that Lele was back, she felt happy and worried at the same time. Lele was also a little worried about what she would think when she saw Xiaofeng.
"It's not strange, I have wanted a new mother for a long time, and Aunt Feng became my new mother. I am not happy yet, but I have a little regret that I was not present when my father and new mother got married. Take a family photo as a souvenir. What a big loss. Grandma Zhou, Lele, I feel aggrieved. Do you have anything to eat to comfort me? Uncle Zhou, hello, Sister Chunmei, you are back from vacation." Leyun ran to Grandma Zhou
. In front of me, I heard footsteps and looked over, seeing Zhou Xialong and Zhou Chunmei with a big smile.
"Lele is back, did you have fun on the mountain?" Brother Zhou saw Lele looking at him and showed a friendly smile.
Zhou Chunmei turned her head "hum", unwilling to pay attention to Le Yun, but looked at her grandma and Le Yun from the corner of her eyes. She saw that Le Yun's T-shirt was bulging out due to her breasts, and her face became even gloomier. Not to mention that the Le family was impoverished, that day She lived a tight life and had no nutritional supplements. Logically speaking, Le Yun should have a sallow complexion and thin skin, but the reality was exactly the opposite. Apart from being skinny when she was very young, that guy had straightened up by the age of five or six, and his skin was fair and tender. , so clean that it makes people jealous.
"I had a lot of fun." Le Yun answered truthfully.
"Don't stand and talk, sit down." Without saying a word, Grandma Zhou dragged her to the room to sit.
Brother Zhou immediately went upstairs to open the refrigerator, took out the iced watermelon, cut two pieces into it, and gave it to his old mother and Xiao Lele.
Le Yun didn't refuse, and followed Grandma Zhou to the room and sat on a bamboo chair. She put the things she brought on the table and placed them specifically in front of the old man: "Grandma Zhou, I picked up some fungi on the way back and gave them to you. Taste it.”
Brother Zhou knew what kind of fungus it was, so he sat down and gave the watermelon to the two of them.
Zhou Chunmei had a gloomy face and sat down by herself. Seeing that her father and grandma were so kind to Le Yun, she felt depressed and did not dare to vent her anger. She felt very aggrieved.
Grandma Zhou also knew that what Lele sent must not be ordinary mushrooms. She opened the bag and saw a tender turkey mushroom. She immediately blamed her: "Last time I picked up the fire mushroom and cooked it for me and your Aunt Feng." I ate it. I managed to pick up some this time, so why did I send them here again? You can take them back and sell them on the street tomorrow to save some money for college." "I picked up
several flowers this time. I'm not going to sell them. I washed a few of them when I came back. Dry it upstairs and take it to the capital. Eat the rest. Eat happily so you can have the strength to cut crops tomorrow. Grandma Zhou will just keep it and eat it. I will go back to the mountains when I have time in a few days. Anyway, July and August are the months when the fungi are most abundant. In this season, you will gain something if you run around."
"You are always so generous. I really can't do anything about you." Grandma Zhou heard the child say that, but she didn't give in. She took the bag closer and took a closer look, except for the fire. There is a big bag full of chicken tail mushrooms, squash mushrooms and chicken foot bone mushrooms.
Le Yun smiled as she nibbled on the watermelon. She originally thought that Zhou Chunmei would choke her, but until she said she wanted to go home, Zhou Chunmei just glared at her and said nothing.
Zhou Chunmei really wanted to make Le Yun unhappy, but she didn't dare. She was not afraid of others at home, but of her father. If she dared to lose her temper in front of her father, she would be scolded, and her living expenses might be reduced in the future. In order to She had a comfortable life at school, so no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to sneer at Le Yun.
"Xiaofeng has hope in life. Even if I die immediately, I can still close my eyes." After seeing Xiao Lele out of the house, Grandma Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mom, what do you think of immortality? How unhappy is it? Xiao Lele is a good person. Xiaofeng will not be disliked in the Le family. Xiaofeng finally has a good home. You should be happy." Brother Zhou is afraid of my mother. Crying, busy comforting.
Grandma favored her aunt and Le Yun. Zhou Chunmei was very dissatisfied. She muttered in a low voice: "My aunt is married to the Le family. Shouldn't Le Yun change her name to grandma and grandma? She also calls her grandma Grandma Zhou and her father Uncle Zhou. I Why do I feel like the Le family doesn’t treat us as family at all?”
"You know nothing!" Brother Zhou wanted to slap his girl away, with a gloomy face: "Lele has called your aunt Aunt Feng for many years. It's out of respect from the bottom of my heart. You call your aunt Aunt Feng." Aunt and aunt have been without any sincerity for many years. Except when you would call your family affectionately "aunt" when asking for money, when did you really care about your aunt? If I hear you talking nonsense again, you don't need to go to school and support yourself. Go by yourself, or ask your mother to find a way to make money for you to spend."
"I..." Zhou Chunmei wanted to defend herself, but when she saw her father's dark face, she lowered her head in aggrievedness.
"I just went to the city to study for a year, and then I forgot about my studies. When I got home, I painted my nails and wore high heels. Do you think you are a rich lady? You have to spend all your monthly living expenses of 1,500 yuan on food. Get dressed up. Starting from next semester, living expenses will be one thousand a month. Who dares to give you more? Don’t ask me for tuition or living expenses again in the future. Whoever has money to feed, drink and have fun will pay for it. I can’t afford it.”
Brother Zhou saw that his girl's eyelashes were sticking to her eyelashes, and her feet were wearing high heels that were more than eight centimeters tall. Her feet and fingernails were painted red, and her lips were painted red. She looked seductive and charming, like sisters from the county hair salon. He was so angry that he left a few words angrily, turned around and went downstairs.
"I... ugh..." Zhou Chunmei was so scolded that she didn't even dare to retaliate, let alone fight for her own living expenses. She felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes.
Grandma Zhou didn't persuade her, she couldn't do it. If she did, she would be responsible for her granddaughter's living expenses and tuition. She would have no money to support her, so the old man took a bag of mushrooms and went to the kitchen to make food.
Zhou Chunmei wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. After standing for a while, she wiped the corners of her eyes and fetched water to wash her face. After returning to the living room in the building below, she saw her mother getting out of the shower and didn't dare to complain. She just looked at it with aggrieved eyes. Mom, I hope my mother can protect me.
Sister-in-law Zhou heard Brother Zhou's roar. She saw her daughter's eyes were red and she didn't dare to say a word. She didn't dare to challenge her husband at all now. Zhou Xiayou made it clear that if she continued to make such trouble, Zhou Xialong would divorce her. She has no hope for the rest of her life.
In her natal family, she can stay for a few days when visiting relatives. If she gets divorced and returns to her natal family, she will definitely not stay there for a long time. Her sister-in-law is not a fuel-saving lamp. She is nice to her on weekdays because she does not have to rely on her natal family. Once she has to rely on her natal family for a long time, Life, that’s hard to say.
Sister-in-law Zhou was afraid that she would also become a divorcee, so she naturally did not dare to fall out with her husband. She learned to act based on her husband's expression. She pretended not to see her daughter's pitiful appearance and carried the clothes to wash herself.
When Le returned home, Zhou Qiufeng also took a bath, put her clothes aside, mixed the salt water, caught a chicken and was slaughtering it. She killed the chicken neatly, threw the basin away, and boiled the water to the water press to fluff the hair. , letting Dad Le sit and pluck his hair while she was busy feeding the pigs, chickens and ducks.
Lele's father was plucking the chicken feathers. When he saw the little cotton-padded jacket approaching, he asked in a low voice: "Lele, has Chunmei made you angry?" "
No. Although it seems that Sister Chunmei dislikes me very much, she Probably because she was afraid of Uncle Zhou, she didn't dare to spit fire at me, so I didn't quarrel with her." "It's
okay if you don't quarrel. In the future, for your Aunt Feng's sake, try to let her go as little as possible. Grandma Zhou is in trouble with your Aunt Feng."
"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket is not a beating machine and won't hit anyone randomly. As long as she doesn't go too far, I won't bother to waste my energy on throwing my fist." "That's right, Lele
. The little cotton-padded jacket is the most reasonable."
"Of course, you don't know whose child your little cotton-padded jacket is..." The
father and son said something to each other, and they were talking happily. Sister-in-law Liu drove to collect the grains and saw the happy The father and daughter said hello and went to move the grain to the car. No need to ask, she also knew that it was Xiao Lele who helped her collect the grain and put it into bags. Xiao Lele was at home. She would help anyone drying things at her house when it rained. I will help collect it in the evening. She is diligent at a young age and is a considerate and good girl.
Zhou Qiufeng took the corn to feed the chickens and ducks, fed the pigs food, and came out to wash her hands. When she saw Sister-in-law Liu, she smiled and said hello.
"Qiufeng, are you helping the Lele family to feed the pigs?" Seeing Zhou Qiufeng's hand still stained with pig food stains, Sister-in-law Liu was confused. The Lele family's father and daughter were at home, so why was Zhou Qiufeng still helping the Lele family?
"Uh..." Dad Le almost choked on his saliva when he heard that sentence.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Feng is not helping my family feed the pigs, Aunt Feng is doing housework for her own family." Le Yun couldn't help laughing, and she almost grinned from the corners of her mouth to her ears.
"Home?" Sister-in-law Liu's mind has not yet turned around. Zhou Qiufeng's home is not the Zhou family?
"Sister-in-law Liu, I... got a marriage certificate with Yueqing some time ago. Yueqing and I live together. I am now the daughter-in-law of the Le family, and the Le family is naturally my own home." "You... are married to Yueqing?" Zhou
Qiufeng Marrying Yueqing, this... um, is it possible? Sister-in-law Liu felt that her head was a little short-circuited and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
Aunt Liu's reaction also made Le Yun laugh until her stomach cramped. This reaction was so right!
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she had long wanted Aunt Feng to be a new mother and was mentally prepared, she would have been shocked and dumbfounded if she had found out that her father and Aunt Feng were getting married without her family.
Scary and all, it's just so fun.
Le Yun felt that within a few days, people in the village would know about the marriage between Dad and Aunt Feng, which would frighten many people's eyes.
"Yes, I got the certificate at the beginning of the month, two days before June 6th. My sister-in-law comes over when she has time. If she invites me to do something, just come to Lejia to see me." Zhou Qiufeng readily admitted the fact that she had remarried. Some people saw her at Lejia these days, and they all thought she was helping Lejia. No one asked her, so she didn't bother to explain.
"Hey!" Sister-in-law Liu responded, climbed into the car, and wanted to leave, so she asked again: "Qiufeng Yueqing, are you really married?" "Yes, don't you believe it? There's a
happy word on the door. ."
Sister-in-law Liu really looked at the door of Le's family. There was a big red word "Happy" plastered on the door. When she came to Shaigu, she thought it was because Lele was admitted to Qingdao University, so she posted the word "Happy". Unexpectedly, it was Qiu Feng and It was a happy event in Yueqing. She drove home suddenly and even forgot to urge Zhou Qiufeng to come over for dinner. She was still a little dizzy when she got home.
Zhou Qiufeng and Leba were not affected. They processed the chicken feathers, disemboweled them, processed and cleaned the internal organs. Zhou Qiufeng took them home and chopped them into pieces, cooked them in a pot, and went to the refrigerator to find the pork and cut it for later use.
The Le family is still cooking, and the Cheng family is having dinner.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ke and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Ge spontaneously went to Cheng Youde's house for dinner. The table was full and they were eating. When they talked about why Zhou Qiufeng hadn't arrived, Sister-in-law Liu looked at Zhou Xialong with a very strange expression: "Qiufeng, she She wanted to have dinner with her husband and the girl, so she didn't come over."
Sister-in-law Zhou lowered her head, but Brother Zhou smiled but didn't answer.
"Husband Zhou Qiufeng? Isn't she divorced? Where did the husband and the girl come from?" Sister-in-law Wu's eyes widened in surprise. Zhou Qiufeng's ex-husband Li Xiaodong had a son, but that child was born to another woman. Sister-in-law Liu said that Zhou Qiufeng's husband was who? Who is the girl?
Not to mention Sister-in-law Wu is strange, even Father Cheng is confused.
"You can remarry after a divorce." Sister-in-law Liu looked at Sister-in-law Wu meaningfully.
"Xiao Liu, are you kidding?" Father Cheng looked at his daughter-in-law strangely, and then at the young couple of the Zhou family. Zhou Xialong didn't object, it seemed like it was true.
"How dare I joke about such a thing."
"Then, who is Qiufeng's current man?"
"The one you know is the one across from the Zhou family."
"Across from the Zhou family... Yueqing?" Cheng Youde The quickest reaction was to identify the characters: "You said Qiufeng and Yueqing are married?"
Sister-in-law Wu's face suddenly turned black and then white, changing back and forth, which was particularly exciting.
"You guessed it right, it's not Yueqing. I only found out when I went to harvest the grain just now. Qiufeng and Yueqing went to get their marriage certificate on the fourth day of June. If you don't believe it, ask Zhou Xialong." "It's true, my sister and
Yueqing Let's live together."
"Oh, that's it. No wonder I saw Qiufeng at Le's house several times. I thought Yueqing was not at home and asked Qiufeng to help feed the piglets. It turns out he is married." "Who
? Guaranteed matchmaker..."
The scene instantly became lively.
Sister-in-law Wu's expression changed countless times, her eyes were a little dark, and she did not join in the discussion.
Zhou Qiufeng didn't know that she had become the talk of the Cheng family table. She was busy cooking, stir-frying two meat dishes. Chicken was the base of the hot pot, mushrooms, pumpkin sprouts and flowers, green onions and cabbage as side dishes.
That night was the first reunion of a family of three. The food was served, and the two adults and one child started to eat. The two adults sandwiched the child between them. Before eating, Zhou Qiufeng first gave the child a large chicken drumstick, which she picked up for free. Cotton-padded jackets, you must increase nutrition for your children and make them fat and fat, making others jealous.
When the wife sang and her husband followed, Lele's father also put a chicken drumstick in his little cotton-padded jacket and told him seriously: "Lele, you are too thin, you need to eat more." There were two big chicken drumsticks piled in the bowl in front of him
. The whole bowl was filled, and Le Yun had a dumbfounded look on her face: "Dad, new mother, I am fourteen years old, not four. Fourteen is a young adult and you don't need to eat chicken drumsticks anymore." "I'm only fourteen years old. I'm still young.
" Little one, eat quickly, there are chicken gizzards that you like to eat, and you should drink more chicken soup, the soup is nutritious." Zhou Qiufeng picked out the chicken gizzards and gave it to Xiao Lele, and helped her fill a bowl of soup.
"Yeah." With her father sitting on one side and her new mother on the other, a complete home, Le Yun was surrounded by happiness and gnawed on the chicken drumsticks in her bowl as expected.
When a new couple saw their child eating happily, their hearts almost overflowed with happiness. They just had such a precious baby, and the child was better than anything else.
Le Yun also personally experienced the happiness of having a complete family. The smell of home filled the air and was so rich in her heart. It was as thick as the green color of the mountains in summer and almost flowed out. That smell, Lingering around you, you feel your breath is fragrant. That kind of precious happiness can only be experienced by those who have experienced it or lost it. People who are soaked in happiness are used to it and just take it as a matter of course.
The greatest happiness in life is to have healthy elders, a significant other who loves you, a child who is an angel, and a few close friends. This is what the Le family is like now.
