Chapter 28: Stealing Firewood

Early in the morning, as soon as the chickens outside crowed, Zhang's woke up, when there was no separation before, she didn't get up early to cook the family's meal, and she was really a little unaccustomed to the days when she couldn't get up early like this.

After getting dressed, Zhang tucked the quilt corner for Peach Blossom before getting out of bed.

The Cheng family's house is also handed down from the ancestors, and it has not been repaired for many years, the walls are thin, and they only feel that the wind is ventilated everywhere, and the water in the wooden basin in the house is also frozen to death.

Zhang tightened the cotton clothes on his body, pushed the door out and saw Mrs. Cheng making breakfast, her eyes flashed with surprise, but she still called her mother in a proper manner, and then went out of the house to pick up firewood to cook.

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, didn't even look at her, put the wooden branches into the stove, brushed the pot and filled the pot with water, covered the pot and turned around and entered the house, only to see a pile of branches piled up next to the firewood.

When Zhang went outside, he saw that half of the firewood he picked up under the window had been lost in a few days, and he knew that it was taken by Westinghouse to burn, so he bit his lip and carried the firewood into the house.

The heart is also depressed, Zhang feels that he is tired and not afraid, he only thinks that the peach blossoms are so small that he follows her to collect firewood, and the ones he picks up save a little use, and it is just enough for the mother and daughter to use until the beginning of spring, and Westinghouse is using it together, and this winter can't stand it.

That's the old man again, what did Zhang say because of this bit of firewood, after saying that Mrs. Cheng was there, after saying it, I was afraid that I would have to scold for a few days, so I swallowed this breath after thinking about it.

When Mrs. Cheng came out of the house, she saw that the water in the pot was boiling, and scolded, "Bad eyes, I don't know how to scream when the water is boiled, my conscience is so bad that I become dumb?" I'm bah, don't forget, who are the elders, and they are not afraid of being drowned by spittle when they go out. ”

Early in the morning, as soon as the genius was brightened, Mrs. Cheng scolded loudly, every sentence at Zhang's, where does Zhang's face still have, lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, and looked closely, her hand filling firewood was still trembling slightly.

To say that Mrs. Cheng's temper is enough to bear, obviously she stole firewood first, and before she said a word, she scolded with a weak heart, which is also like her temperament, once she does something with a weak heart, she will always make trouble again, and finally make the other party admit her mistakes, Old Man Cheng's temperament is honest, Mrs. Cheng is in charge again, and slowly this character will be cultivated, as long as a person who is not pleasing to the eye, she will let go of her throat and scold, in several villages near here, Mrs. Cheng is also famous for being a powerful mother-in-law.

Zhang's family has long been used to it, sitting there silently to light the fire, Mrs. Cheng put the steamed bun in the steamer, and then scolded back to the West House, faintly I can hear the old man Cheng is still talking, but the old lady has no movement after a few words.

In the west room, Old Man Cheng sat on the kang and smoked dry tobacco in a sullen voice, his mother-in-law pointed at Sang and scolded Huai early in the morning, he just persuaded a few words, but he was pushed back, and Old Man Cheng was used to this kind of thing.

gave birth to two sons and a daughter, originally expected to be able to cultivate a showman, so the whole family worked to let the boss study, but who knew that the boss was not a motivated, the book was not good, so that the sour smell of the scholar was learned, and the farm work was not touched at all all day, and the work at home was even more immovable, only saying that it was not a gentleman's so-called, watching him read, it was okay, who would have thought that in the end he would have abducted the widow and ran away.

Mrs. Cheng sat back on the kang and glanced at the old man, "You don't have to think about the boss, it's also a conscienceless, didn't their master say that he was expected to be admitted to Xiucai? ”

Thinking that his son was originally fine, he was past his childhood, and he was expected to become a showman, but he knew that such a change had occurred.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng sulked again, "It's all because of Zhang's lump of wood, and I can't even look at my own man, otherwise we would have enjoyed the blessings a long time ago." ”

Cheng Lao Khan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, smoking a dry cigarette, knowing that if he argued for the eldest daughter-in-law, this mother-in-law would have to give the eldest daughter-in-law a few days of anger, which was also the same before, but then he simply stopped talking.

Mrs. Cheng chattered for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the front yard, the air bag got off the kang, and she walked out of the house in a few steps, pushed open the door and shouted to the front yard, "Second daughter-in-law, this sun is drying your buttocks, can't you sleep to death? ”

Mrs. Cheng's voice was loud, half of the village could hear her scolding, the Wang family in the front room turned over, sat up reluctantly, and saw that Cheng Lao Er had already gotten up to clean up the house, and scolded in a dissatisfied whisper, "You are a wreck, what's the good thing about marrying you, I can't eat enough, I don't have good clothes, and I want to go to my mother's house every day to get something back to supplement your house, your mother still scolds every day, Cheng Er, let me tell you, if you don't break up with your mother, I will take my son back to my mother's house, this day has not passed." ”

Cheng Lao Er couldn't stop making a noise, Wang scolded a few more words, got dressed, pulled his son to dress him, and the three of them walked out of the house slowly to the main house.

As soon as he entered the gate and saw Zhang's cooking, Wang couldn't help but stab a few words, "Sister-in-law, although the family is separated, but your father and mother are still your father, right? ”

Peach Blossom was originally woken up by Mrs. Cheng, and when she heard Wang's words, she couldn't help but push open the door and go over, "Second aunt, my grandmother is scolding you for not getting up early to cook, aren't you also my grandmother's daughter-in-law?"

Wang's face turned blue, watching Mrs. Cheng push the door out, she couldn't say anything, of course she knew who her mother-in-law was scolding, but she was not doing well, and she couldn't be angry when she saw Zhang's good life.

And it used to be Zhang's cooking, and she couldn't stand it when she got up early to cook, thinking about Zhang's soft temperament, so she thought about bullying her and letting her cook, which Cheng wanted to shake out such a sentence when she wanted peach blossoms.

"I'm still dead on what to do, and I can't eat lunch. Throwing off Wang's cold face, Mrs. Cheng glared at Peach Blossom when she entered the house.

Peach Blossom pursed her lips and looked at Wang with a smile, she was telling the truth, if Mrs. Cheng scolded herself, wouldn't she deny her words, then Wang wouldn't have to get up to cook, Mrs. Cheng would be making a fuss this morning, just hold on to this, and Peach Blossom dared to say this.
