"Second sister-in-law, do the laundry. ”

Zhao Ruolin turned her head, looked at Zhao Wuzhu who came over with his head grabbed, nodded, and smiled "um".

"Second sister-in-law, do you want me to wash it for you?"

Zhao Ruolin turned her head and looked at Zhao Wuzhu, whose face was flushed, with a strange expression.

"Hahaha! That second sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I just watched you fall into the water yesterday, and you were in a coma for so long, and you went into the water today...... That's what it means. ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhao Wuzhu let out an "oh", looked at the figure squatting on the edge of the stream, his face was a little tangled, he walked to the side and squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it into the stream.

"That second sister-in-law ......"

"Say something if you have something. ”

"Then I said it. ”

Zhang Ruolin said "um".

"I want to say what will you do if my second brother dies?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I'm just asking. ”

"Didn't think about it. ”

"I said what if? After all, he hasn't heard from him for so many years, if he dies, will you remarry?"

Zhang Ruolin held the mallet in the air and stopped, "I believe he is not dead." ”

Then it was hammered up again.

"I said if. ”

Zhang Ruolin frowned, could this be the reason why Lao Zhao and his wife didn't tell her? Zhao Erzhu died on the battlefield? "I don't know, I haven't thought about it, maybe stay, maybe go!"

"Do you stay or go?"

"Am I a member of the old Zhao family?"

"Why not?"

"Count, don't you count it in your hearts? I have been married to the old Zhao family for so many years, which of you regards me as a family?"

"Second sister-in-law, do you mean that if the second brother is really sacrificed, you will leave the house?"

Looking at the silent Zhang Ruolin, Zhao Wuzhu exhaled deeply, "I know, the second sister-in-law, let me ask you, do you have a second brother in your heart, do you like the second brother?"

"I don't know. ”

"If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. ”

"Do you know what it means to like?"

"Of course I know! It's just that when I see her, I am happy, and I think about it in my dreams when I sleep at night, and this is called liking. ”

"I've met your second brother once, and after so many years, I don't even know what he looks like. What do you want me to answer?"

Zhao Wuzhu let out an "oh", looking at Zhang Ruolin who was squatting in front of him with a tangled face, he was too sudden when he heard the news, he never thought about this problem.

And if this is known by the people in the village, will he still be able to raise his head in the future?

Zhao Wuzhu stood up, "Second sister-in-law, I'll go back first." ”

Zhang Ruolin said "um".

After a while.

Zhang Ruolin turned her head and looked at Zhao Wuzhu, who had already walked away, and frowned slightly, Lao Wu's words must have been asked by Lao Zhao and his wife.

However, it can be inferred from the words of the fifth child that Zhao Erzhu should not have sacrificed, otherwise the fifth child would not continue to ask in the future.

But what does that mean exactly?

Standing up, Zhang Ruolin reached out and rubbed her waist, twisted the basket and walked home.

Drying the clothes on the bamboo pole, Zhao Ruolin glanced at Father Zhao, who was sitting at the door basking in the sun and smoking a dry cigarette, and raised her eyebrows.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ruolin walked over and shouted.

Father Zhao glanced at Zhang Ruolin and asked, "Well, second daughter-in-law, is there something?"

"Dad, I have a question for you. ”

You ask. ”

"Erzhu has sent a letter, did he say when he will come back?"

Father Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Who did you listen to?"

"You don't care who I listen to, when will Erzhu come back?"

"Lao Wu told you? Lao Wu, you little rabbit cub, you get out of here. Father Zhao roared angrily.

"Dad, it's not the fifth. ”

"If it's not the fifth child, who else can tell you?"

Zhao Ruolin looked at the angry Father Zhao and raised her eyebrows, "Dad, does this have anything to do with who told me? I am Erzhu's daughter-in-law, whether he is alive or dead, should I always have the right to know? What do you mean by you and your mother hiding it from me and hiding it for so long?"

Father Zhao calmed down, glanced at Zhao Ruolin, pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhao Ruolin who was still standing in front of him, "I'll be back in two days, and you'll know when you come back." ”

Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", "I'm back in the house." ”

Father Zhao nodded.

Seeing Zhang Ruolin turn to leave, Zhao Wuzhu, who was hiding behind the door, stretched out his head and said in a low voice, "Dad, I didn't say it." ”

Father Zhao glanced at him, frowned, his eyes were full of helplessness, he was worried for half a year, and after hiding it for half a year, he finally couldn't hide it.

"What is your second sister-in-law's attitude?"

Zhao Wuzhu's face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "I didn't ask." ”

That's not what Lao Tzu meant. ”

"The second sister-in-law should mean to leave. ”

Father Zhao took out the tobacco in the cigarette pouch and put it in the cigarette gun, took out the fire fold and lit the cigarette, took a puff, and glanced at the eight straw houses in a row.

One is a shame, and the other is a separation.

But he is not dead yet, he is only in his fifties, and his body is still strong, is this family just scattered? Even if the family is separated, the key is who will he live with?

Daddy Zhao shook his head in his heart, the boss this rabbit cub grew up with his milk since he was a child, and he has no other skills, he is delicious and lazy, and it is okay to steal and play tricks.

It is even more impossible for the second child, and it is impossible for him and his family to leave their hometown to live with him.

The third and fourth are better than the other, and the two daughters-in-law do not have any good things, and it is impossible to expect them to serve him and the old woman when he is old in the future.

The children in the family are about to grow up in a blink of an eye, and there are only a few houses, and they need money to rebuild, and they also need money to marry a daughter-in-law.

Over the years, there have been many children in the family, and they have married daughters-in-law one after another, and the expenses of the whole family have not saved any money at all. plus the 300 yuan sent back by the second child, there are only more than 330 yuan in the house.

Just these more than 300 yuan, which is enough for home use? If you can save a little, you will naturally save a little.

The second daughter-in-law has seen him in his eyes all these years, capable, filial, such a good daughter-in-law, to be honest, he is really reluctant to let him go. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with such a humiliating solution.

Zhao Wuzhu looked at his father and glanced at him, shuddered, and said in a low voice: "Dad, I don't agree, I can't afford to lose this person." ”

"Get out!" said Daddy Zhao impatiently.

"Dad, in fact, I know what you mean, you are afraid that if your second sister-in-law leaves, there will be one less person to work in the family. But you don't want to think about it, if the second sister-in-law leaves, can she go there? Go back to her parents' house? Will her mother's family want her to go back? Isn't there a shame?"

"Don't forget that your second brother doesn't want her. ”

Zhao Wuzhu was stunned for a moment, too! Her second sister-in-law is so capable, she is famous in ten miles and eight townships, and there are many old bachelors in these ten miles and eight townships.

Those old bachelors don't care if it's a big girl or not, as long as it's a woman.

Thinking about the second sister-in-law leaving this home, Zhao Wuzhu was suddenly a little reluctant, but he really couldn't afford to lose this person.
