Chapter 36: Thoughts
Li Qi was itchy and asked Han Meifang: "Meifang, when are you going to tell your family about the two of us, my mother is urging me, and I am not a big one, so I should get married." Han Meifang touched the material and said, "Let me think about this again." Li Qi's face immediately sank: "What do you mean? Han Meifang saw Li Qi's face change, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't think about how to tell my mother, after all, my mother wants me to go back to the city." Li Qi laughed: "Come on, how many years have you been here, do you see how many educated youths have returned to the city? I work in town, but I haven't heard of this policy. The people in the city can't arrange it, so let you go back to the city, what are you going to eat?!"
Most of the joy in Han Meifang's heart disappeared, and she also knew that Li Qi was telling the truth. Li Qi looked at Han Meifang, and slowed down his voice to comfort: "Don't think about it, if you marry me, I will treat you well, you can rest assured." You can see the conditions of my family, it's a lot better than other people's families, and you won't have a hard life if you get married, it's better than if you were in the youth point. ”
These words spoke to Han Meifang's heart. Han Meifang is also willing to deal with Li Qi because of this reason, she has also read books, and she doesn't look down on rural people from the bottom of her heart, but now she is not as good as a rural person, plus this time when she goes home, her mother's illness is still being treated, and she has almost left all the money and things on hand.
In the end, Han Meifang nodded and promised to write a letter when she went back and tell her family about it. Li Qi was happy and kissed Han Meifang on the face, and Han Meifang slapped him in annoyance. The two quarreled for a while, it was dark, Han Meifang proposed to go back, although Li Qi was a little reluctant, he still sent Han Meifang back to the Zhiqing point.
Back at the Zhiqing Point, Han Meifang heard Wang Xiaozhen talking to Yu Linlin about Lin Xi's affairs today. Seeing Han Meifang, Wang Xiaozhen recounted the matter again with a somewhat gloating tone, Han Meifang frowned: "Lin Xi shouldn't adopt Chu Sheng, he can't support himself with the little centimeters he earns, and he still wants to raise a child." Besides, if you want to pick a good one, Chu Sheng's temperament, I really don't know what to say. Last time, he went crazy, beat his father with a blue nose and swollen face, and one day he got into trouble with Lin Xi, but Lin Xi was not his opponent. ”
"That's what she is asking for, and I don't know what she thinks, whether she lacks a brother or a son. After speaking, Wang Xiaozhen still covered her mouth and smiled maliciously.
Yu Linlin felt that this was a bit excessive, after all, Lin Xi did not get in the way of their affairs. Han Meizhen patted Wang Xiaozhen lightly: "Don't talk nonsense. Wang Xiaozhen was about to speak, but she saw the material in Han Meizhen's hand and asked, "This material is good, Sister Han, show me." Han Meizhen generously handed over the material, and Yu Linlin also came over, no matter when a woman is, she has a heart for beauty.
Looking at the material, Wang Xiaozhen showed nothing but envy: "Sister Han, where did you buy this? Such a big piece of cloth, I want a few cloth tickets! After speaking, he gestured on himself. Han Meifang just smiled and didn't speak. Wang Xiaozhen immediately understood, and quipped: "Sister Han, is it sent by the object?" Han Meifang's face turned red again, grabbed the material, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, she folded the material and put it in the cabinet.
Han Meifang went to the kitchen to pour hot water, Wang Xiaozhen pursed her lips disdainfully, and muttered: "Who doesn't know that she is with people, and she is still secretive and pretending to be serious." Yu Linlin cleaned up her hand on the bed, and then said, "Sister Han is not too young, and it is time to find someone." "Then you can't find a countryman, it's a lot of discounts." Educated youths should look for educated youth, everyone is a literate person, so they can talk about going together. Yu Linlin was just about to speak, when she heard footsteps outside, she shut up directly.
Han Meifang came in with hot water, saw the two of them, and asked, "Have you washed them all?" I see that there is still warm water in the pot, you have to go and hurry up." Otherwise, you'll run out. Wang Xiaozhen got down from the kang with a grunt, and ran to the kitchen with the basin.
Li Qi arrived home and saw his mother's face full of anger, and his younger brother lying on the kang, using medicine and wine. Li Qi smiled and passed: "Is this a war with someone? How about it, did you win the war?" A sentence made his wife's fire arch up again, and he crackled and said about his youngest son's beating today, pointing to the bruises on his youngest son's body and saying: "What a big feud this is, like this." Li Zhen replied angrily: "Man, what is this little injury? You still found someone's house, what a loss of face." ”
One sentence made Li Zhen's mother half angry, and slapped her son's buttocks: "I protected you in vain, you deserve to be beaten." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went out.
Li Qi smiled unkindly and asked, "How is it, do you want my brother to be angry with you?" Li Zhen rolled his eyes back: "I'm not rare, aren't you going to have a partner?" When can I bring my sister-in-law back, I will handle my affairs myself." "Eh, little bastard, the wings are stiff. As he spoke, he was going to twist his brother's face. Li Zhenyi tilted his head to avoid it.
Brothers, you and I said one by one, the curtain was lifted, and Li Zhen's mother spoke: "The material was sent to the girl? How is it? Let me tell you, if it doesn't work out, you have to get it back for me." I'm greedy for such a big piece. ”
Li Qi said with a smug smile: "Don't worry, I will bring people back in two days, and I can't spend our family's money in vain." Li Zhenma's face looked better, and she felt a little distressed when she thought about the material: "Okay, that is, I'm used to you, I have to find a girl in the city, it's material and food, and you have given a lot of things." If you marry a girl from the countryside, it won't be that troublesome at all. ”
"Mom, Meifang, this girl, you know, she works hard, she is also cheerful, she is still educated, I am about to become a formal worker, and it is shameless to find a rural girl. Li Qi patiently reasoned with his wife.
"Then you should get the people back sooner, so that you don't have too many dreams at night. Do you know?" Li Zhenniang knew what her son meant, so she couldn't persuade herself, so she had to comfort herself: "Fortunately, that girl can work, and it won't be a loss to marry back." If you are like Lin Zhiqing, who works for one day and is sick for three days, then I will not allow it. ”
Li Zhen watched his brother push his mother out, and said in his heart: Lin Zhiqing can't work, but he can cook, and the food is delicious. Thinking about the food brought by Chu Sheng, Li Zhen touched his stomach and sneaked to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Chu Dagen finished eating the bland, slapped the chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "There is no salt at home? Do you know how to cook?" said the widow, who was doing needlework in her hands, without even lifting her eyelids, "There is still money at home to buy salt, and my brother and sister and I borrowed a little, and she gave me a small spoon." Chu Dagen only felt that there was nowhere to vent his stomach, and looked at Widow Tian's stomach and asked, "Have you come to your little day?" Widow Tian glanced at her daughter who was sitting on a small stool doing her homework, and her face was a little unbearable. Still replied in a whisper: "Here it is." ”
Chu Dagen's heart was cold, and he muttered: "Useless things." Although the voice was not loud, it was still heard by the widow Tian, who threw the clothes in her hand on the kang and said, "What? A sentence made Chu Dagen jump to his feet, he shook his hand, flipped the kang table to the ground, and rushed up to hit Widow Tian, Widow Tian took a step back and successfully avoided Chu Dagen's slap. Chu Dagen stepped on his clothes with one foot, and there was a needle in the sewn clothes, which happened to be pierced into Chu Dagen's feet, Chu Dagen sat on the kang with a painful butt, pulled out the needle, rubbed his feet, and scolded the widow Tian. Widow Tian didn't pay attention to him at all, and Xiao Ni, who was doing her homework, was so frightened that she hid in the corner and shivered, looking at Chu Dagen with a pair of frightened eyes.
Widow Tian instructed Xiao Ni and said, "Go, go outside and do your homework." Little Niliso went out with her homework and a small stool. Widow Tian leaned over to Chu Dagen's side and asked, "What's the matter, it hurts, I'll show you." Tell me about you, what's the hurry, how long have we been married, isn't the one in front of you who was pregnant for many years, I am definitely better than her, don't worry, I will definitely give you a son. However, such conditions at home are not good, the clear soup is hung with water, my body is not good, how can I give you a child?"
Widow Tian's words finally made Chu Dagen happy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Now that spring is coming, I'll go to the mountains to take a look and get some meat to make up for you." Widow Tian was overjoyed and kissed Chu Dagen on the face, Chu Dagen muttered to her in a low voice, and was pushed by Widow Tian in shame. Chu Dagen was not annoyed, he was still happy, he cleaned up the overturned kang table by himself, and Widow Tian cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and a gunsmoke dispersed.
When Chu Sheng was in school, Lin Xi specially gave him a paragraph and asked in a low voice: "I added some extra food to today's lunch box, if a classmate asks you for it, you can give it to others, and don't fight with people anymore." Chu Sheng responded one by one. Looking at the backs of Chu Sheng and Tang Shu in the distance, Lin Xi was still not very relieved.
It was easy to stay up until Chu Sheng got out of school, and he was relieved to see that his clothes were clean and there were no new scars on his face. Chu Sheng understood that Lin Xi was worried about him, so he took Lin Xi's hand and said, "Sister, I will listen to you and will not fight with them." ”
Lin Xi asked again: "Have you given the dishes to everyone to taste?" "Give it, they don't want it." "Then forget it. ”
Fooling Lin Xi, Chu Sheng didn't want to revolve around this topic, and asked: "Tomorrow Sunday, is my sister going to sell things?" Lin Xi was a little embarrassed: "I have to work normally tomorrow, and I can't ask for leave anymore." "I help my sister to sell, and I'm old enough to help my sister do things." ”
Chu Sheng's proposal, Lin Xi was still a little moved. Chu Sheng patted his chest and assured that he would definitely be able to do a good job. Lin Xi reluctantly agreed, but told him to pay attention to safety.
