Chapter 8: Causing trouble
The sisters haven't seen each other for half a year, He Ruxue specially transferred classes, waiting for He Rulan at home, and when they saw each other, the two sisters were naturally very close, holding hands and chatting endlessly.
He Rulan had long heard her sister say that her mother-in-law was not easy to get along with, so she was a little stunned when she saw Jiang Lizhen, but she still politely greeted her first, called her aunt, and took out the gift carefully prepared by her mother.
The He family has been providing for the two daughters to go to school in recent years, and the old two can't earn a few dollars by digging in the soil, and the third daughter He Ruyun is only a teenager, unlike the two sisters, she doesn't like to study at all, and she followed her parents to farm at home after graduating from junior high school.
The youngest son, He Rulei, is the heart and soul of the old couple, pampered since childhood, not decent, only thirteen years old did not want to go to school, the old couple promised to give pocket money every day, He Rulei only then agreed to finish middle school.
In the past, when He Ruxue was not married, she paid her salary every month and sent two dollars to her family, but now that she has her own home and her mother-in-law lives with her, it is not good to send money back.
In this way, the family is a lot poor, He Rulan's mother thought that her in-laws were also from the countryside, and now that she has entered the city, she may miss the local products of her hometown, so she prepared two catties of sweet potato vermicelli, as well as newly ground cornmeal this year, and let He Rulan bring it over.
As soon as He Rulan took out the things, Jiang Lizhen showed a look of disdain on her face, she had enough of these two things in the countryside, and she could even look at the sour water in her stomach.
Jiang Lizhen's eyelids collapsed, and she said nonchalantly: "Let my in-laws bother!" Then she stuffed the two things into the cupboard where the sundries were placed, and turned around to cook.
He Ruxue saw her mother-in-law's disdain, but she didn't care, now that she was pregnant with the blood and blood of their old Fu family, she could be regarded as having a battle, and her mother's family was in such a situation, the things were brought, did she love it!
He Ruxue smiled slightly, took her sister's hand and went to her room to whisper.
After lunch, the two sisters were ready to go shopping on the street, He Ruxue was less than three months pregnant, Jiang Lizhen told her that the fetus was not stable yet, she couldn't be too tired, and she would go early and return early.
"Mom, I know, I'm a doctor, I understand!" He Ruxue agreed with a smile.
It's almost New Year's Day, there are quite a lot of people in the Kindnight Mountain Department Store, He Ruxue took He Rulan to choose a pink bread suit at the women's clothing counter, He Rulan asked the price, it actually cost more than 100 yuan, so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand, "Sister, let's not buy it, it's too expensive!"
He Ruxue also felt that it was a bit expensive, this kind of bread clothes was the latest style, and many fashionable young women on the street wore it, her monthly salary was less than eighty yuan, and she was reluctant to buy it.
But my sister is about to join the work, and I always have to give her something decent, He Ruxue gritted her teeth and bought the clothes, and there were no more than a few yuan left in her pocket of one hundred and fifty yuan, she originally planned to buy a pair of cotton shoes for her mother-in-law, but it seemed that she couldn't buy them, so she had to wait a few days later to pay her salary and buy them.
The sisters came home with a smile and a smile, Jiang Lizhen just took a nap, she couldn't stay idle after waking up, wiped the house up and down, and saw that her daughter-in-law came back soon, she was very happy, thinking that this time she was obedient, when she left, He Ruxue also said that she wanted to buy her cotton shoes, and the old lady waited beside her, ready to try new cotton shoes.
He Ruxue saw her mother-in-law standing on the side for a long time, and suddenly realized that she was waiting for the cotton shoes she bought, "Mom, what, I don't have enough money to bring, I bought a cotton jacket for Rulan and it's gone, and now the price is too expensive!
"Oh, I still have something to wear, a few days earlier and a few days later, nothing!" Jiang Lizhen was a little disappointed, but she didn't think much about it, after all, Rulan was a guest, and she could still fight with a child?
At dinner, Fu Liangchen came back, and the sister-in-law came to the door for the first time, so she had to say something, so she asked He Ruxue, didn't she take her sister out for a walk?
Before He Ruxue could speak, He Rulan hurriedly said, "Go! My sister also bought me a bread suit, but it looks good, it costs more than 100 yuan!"
He Ruxue hurriedly dragged her under the table, but she couldn't stop her from saying all the words, it's bad!
Jiang Lizhen slammed the chopsticks on the table with a "pop", stood up and entered her room, and closed the door with a "bang"!
He Rulan was stunned! She realized that she had made a mistake, and tears flowed down her face.
I'm about to join the work, why are I still so clueless? I get carried away when I buy new clothes, don't I know that my sister and my mother-in-law get along unhappily? I bought such expensive clothes for myself, not to mention my sister's mother-in-law, even my brother-in-law should have an idea.
He Rulan really wanted to slap her mouth a few times, she remembered that when she came, her mother told her to talk less and have eyes, how could she forget it all!
He Ruxue sighed in her heart, this Rulan is still a child after all, and there is no way to do it if the matter has come out, let's explain it to Fu Liangchen first.
"Liangchen, Rulan is going to work on Monday, I was thinking about buying her a decent dress, I didn't expect the price to be so expensive now, I originally wanted to buy a new pair of cotton shoes for my mother, but the money was not enough, I came back and told my mother, I paid my salary in two days and then bought shoes, my mother was not angry at that time, she didn't know that this dress was so expensive......"
Fu Liangchen was silent for a while, "It's okay, it's okay, mom is thrifty, tomorrow is Sunday, let's take my mom to the department store to choose it personally, I still have some money here, and I just paid overtime allowance." ”
"Brother-in-law, why don't you take back my padded jacket......" He Rulan whispered while sobbing.
"No, this is a gift from your sister, you can wear it with confidence, my mother is that temper, she has no bad intentions!" Fu Liangchen was a little embarrassed.
This night was extraordinarily long, He Rulan and his clothes were lying on the sofa in the living room, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, the north wind was howling outside, something rustled on the window, was it snowing?
He Rulan stood up and walked to the window, and with the help of the street lamp downstairs, it was really snowing! The north wind swept the snowflakes in the sky and flew wantonly, and in the light and shadow cast by the street lamp, a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.
He Rulan lay down again, and there was a small quarrel in the bedroom, it was the voice of He Ruxue and Fu Liangchen, and she couldn't hear what was arguing, but He Rulan sensitively felt that it was because of herself.
After sitting on the sofa all night, the sky was bright and He Rulan opened the curtains, and the snowstorm had stopped all night, and now it had stopped, and there was a snow-white world outside, and everything in the world was shrouded in white snowflakes.
He Rulan secretly decided that she would go to work tomorrow, she would be a real adult, she must be cautious in her words and deeds, don't cause trouble to others, and let others accept and like herself.
Looking at herself with slightly swollen eyelids in the mirror, He Rulan clenched her fists, come on!
