Chapter 33: Not Returned
When Zhang was being forced by Mrs. Cheng and didn't know what to do, Cheng Laohan carried the split bamboo into the house, and saw Zhang kneeling and looking at the West House with a cold face.
Wang shrunk his neck in the West House, seeing that Mrs. Cheng was silent, for fear that this matter would not count in the past, and then shouted, "Dad, you came back just in time, Peach Blossom scolded my mother, and she ran away again, my sister-in-law is admitting her mistake here, and my mother is crying angrily." ”
"On such a cold day, what can't you say well?" Cheng Laohan lost his words, and he didn't know who he was talking to, but the last sentence was for Zhang's, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go find Peach Blossom." ”
Zhang stood up with tears in his eyes, turned around and walked out of the house without saying much, the cold wind made her shiver, and did not stop her footsteps, looking at the desert village, the white expanse, a few houses that could be seen, and the unobstructed income in the eyes, where was the peach blossom?
Zhang bit his lip, crying all the way to the Wang family who was driving the car, Peach Blossom used to like to go to Uncle Wang's house to play with his granddaughter, but he was sick for a while, so he never left the house.
In the house, Mrs. Cheng was dissatisfied that Cheng Laohan would help Zhang's mouth, but she thought that there was a reason for the incident, so she didn't speak, anyway, she would just go over and bring the cotton over, and the goal would be achieved.
Wang smiled stupidly, got up from the kang and walked out, and Mrs. Cheng threw half of the soles of her shoes in her hand, "Second daughter-in-law, it's time to make dinner." ”
"Mother, I'll help my sister-in-law find peach blossoms. ”
Mrs. Cheng scolded, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you have that kind heart? ”
Wang was seen through the idea, and muttered a few words out of the house dissatisfied, and soon heard the sound of pots and pans from the kitchen, and Mrs. Cheng scolded a few more words, and then took the soles of her shoes and put them up again.
Cheng Laohan came back and only said that one sentence, then sat on the stool silently and split the bamboo, the bamboo baskets are woven with thin bamboo strips, after the bamboo is split into strips, the thickness must be made to the thinnest, and finally put it in water for three days before it can be taken out and used, such a bamboo basket is also the simplest method, can not be sold at a high price, but there are many people who buy at home, in the winter, Cheng Laohan's bamboo basket can be sold for more than ten dollars, for the old Cheng family who only relies on planting the six acres of land, it is also an income.
Until it was dark, Mrs. Cheng took the second family to dinner, and the east house did not move, and Wang cleaned up the table and sighed, "Didn't my sister-in-law take the peach blossoms to buy good things to eat, did she not come back so late." ”
"Second child, you go and look for it, it's so late, and it's not safe for your sister-in-law to take the child. Cheng Lao jig blistered and pumped.
Cheng Lao Er secretly glanced at Mrs. Cheng, and saw that there was no objection, so he answered, turned around and went out, if it was Mrs. Cheng who spoke, Wang would definitely say a few words, but it was Cheng Laohan who said, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and he was not happy in his heart, he shook his face and hugged Cheng Lin back to the front yard, Cheng Lin didn't have enough fun and didn't go back, Wang slapped him twice on the buttocks, Cheng Lin cried in pain, and Wang didn't care about holding people and left.
A move was naturally exchanged for another scolding from Mrs. Cheng.
