Chapter 281: New Year
"Xiaozhou, what are you thinking?" Yang Mei kept talking to herself, and when she looked up, she saw Cheng Xiaozhou's thoughtful look.
"I didn't think about anything, but I suddenly got a little hungry. Cheng Xiaozhou deliberately changed the topic.
"Are you hungry? Also, you haven't eaten in the morning, why don't I go and make you some?"
She's always been like this, she's always been so kind.
Seeing that she really went outside the house and began to scoop water for cooking, from her serious expression, Cheng Xiaozhou actually saw a trace of the feeling of a good wife and mother.
Without thinking about it anymore, she helped Yangmei cook together.
Eating with Cheng Xiaozhou, during the meal, Yang Mei suddenly said with interest: "Xiaozhou, do you know? Jiang Hai has been discharged from the army?"
"Why is it so sudden?" In his previous life, he worked hard all the way, and finally achieved high achievements.
Why did he suddenly retire from the army in this life?
"I don't know why, he didn't tell me. Yang Mei smiled slightly.
Cheng Xiaozhou looked at her more, she hadn't said that she had seen Jiang Hai at that time, and she was so quick to spit out.
Yang Mei also seemed to realize that she was talking too much, so she quickly waved her hand: "Don't get me wrong, Jiang Hai and I just came back together." ”
Her face was still red when she spoke.
"What can I misunderstand? Sister Yangmei, you think too much. While eating, Cheng Xiaozhou thought gloomily, she didn't have any position to think about anything.
Seeing that Cheng Xiaozhou's face was a little bad, Yang Mei only pursed her lips for some reason, and she had nothing else to say.
In the next two days, Cheng Xiaozhou kept avoiding going out, and she never went out again, completely blocking her opportunity to meet Jiang Hai.
And because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Jiang Hai has not had a chance to go out since he went home, so he has not had a chance to see Cheng Xiaozhou.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mao Xiujuan specially made a table of good rice, but Cheng Xiaozhou tasted like chewing wax, and only ate a few bites and then stopped eating.
Yang Mei looked at Cheng Xiaozhou, who put down the chopsticks and went back to the room, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with Xiaozhou?"
"Who knows, since I came back from the city that day, I have been hanging my face like this all day, and I know who owes her something, I bought her a hairpin and bought the wrong one?"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense, it should have nothing to do with you. Yang Mei glanced into the room, then withdrew her gaze.
"You just leave her alone, just eat your food. Mao Xiujuan didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Xiaozhou, besides, Cheng Xiaozhou would save food if he didn't eat.
Yang Mei nodded, and then continued to bury her head in eating.
Cheng Xiaozhou kept looking at the white world outside the window, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
Originally, she came back with an attitude of repaying her kindness, but day by day, she also felt that her attitude had changed a little, and now she didn't seem to be repaying her kindness, and Jiang Hai was not just her benefactor.
She always felt that her feelings for Jiang Hai had changed a little.
Some didn't know what to do, and Cheng Xiaozhou, who had always had a lot of ideas, suddenly ran out of ideas.
She thought a little gloomily, it turns out that this is really the case, no matter how strong a person is, it will become different when he encounters love.
The customs of Mao Xiujuan's family are simple, and they want to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, because Xiaozhou is her daughter-in-law in Mao Xiujuan's heart, so she took Cheng Xiaozhou out of the house.
Along the way, I met several women, all of whom were also going to pay New Year's greetings, thinking that they were just on the way, so Mao Xiujuan stopped them.
Along the way, they were all hypocritical to each other, but Cheng Xiaozhou didn't say a word on the side.
Someone noticed the cold Cheng Xiaozhou, so he quickly grabbed Mao Xiujuan's arm and called her in a low voice: "Sister Xiujuan......"
"What's wrong?" Mao Xiujuan stopped.
"This is your daughter-in-law?" The woman who asked had lived in the city for a long time, so it was the first time she saw Cheng Xiaozhou.
Mao Xiujuan didn't know why she asked, so she nodded.
"I don't like to talk at all, is there something wrong with my head?How much did it cost?" This woman's son is old, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law, so he specially inquired about the market.
"There's something wrong with her head? That's not, don't look at her very wooden, but she's better than a monkey, she's a little bit untalkative these two days, who knows why." Although Mao Xiujuan knew that something was wrong with her in the past few days, she didn't say what was wrong.
What's more not to mention is how much money was spent at the beginning, the fact that she spent money to buy a daughter-in-law was enough to embarrass her, she is such a face-saving person, if it weren't for her son's real incompetence, how could she tolerate this kind of thing?
The woman didn't get the answer, and she knew that she deliberately didn't say it, so she didn't hold on to the question and continue to ask.
She withdrew her gaze that had been staring at Cheng Xiaozhou, and muttered in a low voice: "She looks very good-looking, but this figure is not good, you can't give birth to a son at first glance, you look at the new daughter-in-law of the old Feng family, that figure is good!"
"Cheng Xiaozhou is still a yellow-haired girl, and she can see that she is not in shape, but when you talk about the old Feng family, I suddenly remembered it, didn't the Feng family run away several times?"
"Why, why haven't I heard of it, I just heard that woman is very honest. ”
"Are you that honest?"
"Yes, I've seen it once, although she looks average, she is very obedient, and she serves her in-laws very well, and even the sister-in-law of the Feng family, who is difficult to serve, has begun to like her. ”
Cheng Xiaozhou has actually been able to hear their words, but he has never taken their words to heart, but when he heard them say Fang Huai, he took their words to heart.
Just thinking about it, I saw that their group had arrived at the door of Lao Feng's house, and the New Year's greeting team entered the door, and she followed in, but walked at the back.
The people in front followed the people of the old Feng family to greet each other, and she always stood at the end very leisurely.
Since they had been out at five o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, and everyone was complimenting each other with all their hearts, so no one noticed her.
Cheng Xiaozhou looked around, and then went to another room while no one noticed.
She had been to Feng's house once last time, so she probably knew where Fang Huai's room was.
If she remembered correctly, Fang Huai and the Feng family's boy's room was on the far left, and she followed the path in her memory to the door of the room.
The door in front of her was closed, as if to prevent her from escaping, so the old woman of the Feng family didn't let her go out much.
I didn't see Fang Huai in the main house just now, so I wondered if she was in the house now.
He gently pushed the door panel in front of him with his hand, and the door made a slight noise, and then it opened.
Looking at the dark room, Cheng Xiaozhou walked in without much thought, knowing that the men must have gone out to pay New Year's greetings, so Cheng Xiaozhou was not worried at all that he would run into the Feng family boy.
However, as soon as she entered the room, she felt a tap on the shoulder.
