Chapter 24: Zi'an's daughter-in-law
I had insomnia last night, and Zijun got up a little late today, and his eyes were still a little puffy when he woke up. Twenty-nine, it's almost time to be busy, it's almost time to buy, and I've been playing cards at home for a day. The three Zijun brothers and sisters, plus Tao Zhi is just four people, Zimei is a little ready to move. If you want to talk about the entertainment at home in the winter, it is nothing more than playing cards. Since childhood, I have been exposed to it, no matter how well I play, but there is nothing that I can't. Zimeiyi proposed, and everyone thought it was good. This kind of entertainment is the easiest to get familiar with, and at the end of the day, Tao Zhi has completely lost the initial sense of unfamiliarity.
There is no debt, and the children are all interested, and the future will only get better and better. The Chinese New Year's Eve family was lively and lively, and it had not been so happy for a long time, and Chen Zhili couldn't help but have a drink. Zijun hasn't been back for two years, and some relatives have to go. The second grandfather and the third grandfather's house don't say, after all, they live close to each other, and they can go back and forth on the same day. Grandma's house had to stay for a night or two. My grandmother is old, and I heard my mother say that people are a little confused, and this can be seen at a glance, since she has gone, she has to accompany her.
After breakfast on the first day of the new year, the Zijun brothers and sisters plus Tao Zhi set off. Tao Zhi originally didn't want to go, but how could Zijun bear to leave her at home alone, so he dragged her out of the door. said that he would take her back to the mountains to make wildfires, roast sweet potatoes to eat, and experience a real farmhouse.
The two uncles don't live far away, and their township is mainly hilly, and in the eyes of the people in their lake area, it is the mountains. In fact, it's just a dirt bag of dozens or hundreds of meters, but when I was a child, it was a paradise for Zi'an's brothers and sisters. Climbing trees, catching birds' eggs, catching knowledge, and touching fish and shrimp in the creek are all dry. Especially in winter, the path at the foot of the mountain is covered with yellow weeds on both sides, and when a fire is lit, it can burn from one end of the field to the other.
Along the way, Zijun and Zimei chattered non-stop, sharing the happiness of their childhood. Tao Zhi, on the other hand, was completely brought into a strange territory by them, a happy time for wild children, and a life she had never experienced. Zi'an, it's funny to look at these three girls from time to time, three women in one play, it's really true.
The surname Wang is a big surname in the village, and when I met someone on the road, it seemed that they were all relatives. The three brothers and sisters walked all the way from the entrance of the village, and the voices of grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt never stopped. And when those people saw their group of four, they also greeted them warmly, "Zi'an came to see your grandmother?" "Junjun, you haven't been here for a long time." "The bigger it is, the more beautiful it is." More shouted at Zi'an, "Zi'an, this is to bring your granddaughter-in-law to show your grandmother." Before they could finish their explanation, they had already waved their hands to do what they were supposed to do, and yes, this explanation was also explained in vain, and then they simply didn't explain.
Tao Zhi didn't understand it at first, but after a long time, she understood some of the doorways, Rao is she has always been as calm as water, and she couldn't help blushing. Zi'an, who was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly walked to the village with his head down. It's Zijun and Zimei who look at their combination, and then look at Tao Zhi and his brother walking together, thanks to their own hearts, otherwise who wouldn't think so when they see it. Zimei likes Tao Zhi, and wishes that this beautiful and gentle sister could be her sister-in-law. Zijun is not so optimistic, it's not that she doesn't like Tao Zhi, it's just that the men of the Chen family are old-fashioned, and she is afraid that one bad one will bring more harm to Tao Zhi.
Finally walked to the eldest uncle's house, and the three brothers and sisters shouted at the door, "Uncle, aunt, we are here!"
The atmosphere finally eased up a little, and suddenly it became more embarrassing. Tao Zhi regretted that he went out with him today, and he knew that it would be better to stay at Zijun's house and watch TV.
"Auntie, this is my friend Tao Zhi, not my brother's girlfriend. Zijun hurriedly explained, "Where's grandma?"
The eldest aunt hurriedly led a few people in, and Tao Zhi didn't want to go in, she was really scared, could it be that her face said, I am Chen Zi'an's girlfriend?
"Tao Zhi, you come in. In the end, it was no way, Tao Zhi still walked in, and explained again, but the problem was that it was useless to explain to her grandmother!! she smiled like a chrysanthemum, happy like a child, "We An An finally found a girlfriend." ”
"Grandma, that's not my girlfriend, she's Junjun's friend. Zi'an explained with a red face, and secretly glanced at the girl sitting opposite, only to see her lowered eyelids, long eyelashes curled, and a faint flush on her face, as demure as a delicate flower near the water. has been so misunderstood by others, he has gone from the initial embarrassment to now seems to feel that she seems to be his girlfriend.
"What, An An's girlfriend is also called Junjun?"
"No, grandmother, that's Junjun's friend. ”
"Oh, let's get married next year, right? Okay, okay! Grandma can finally see Luo. "God, can you still talk happily, Zi'an and the others simply stopped talking. On the side, the cousin laughed out loud, "I can take my milk's ability." ”
"Cough, forget it, Zi'an, your grandmother's ears are not good-" The uncle who was roasting the fire on the side couldn't bear the little girl's embarrassment, so he came forward to explain.
The group couldn't sit still after lunch, "Brother Zi'an, go dig water chestnuts and eat." ”
"That's good. "Zijun has eaten a lot of horseshoe cakes in Guangdong in recent years, and there are also soups, but fresh, when the fruit is eaten, there is no one in Guangdong. It's delicious and watery, and Zijun also dug it by hand in the field when he was a child. Zi'an and Chengkang both changed their boots, held shovels, Zijun carried a cabbage, and the group went out. Originally, the four of them, plus their cousin Wang Chengkang, were not as eye-catching as before.
When the water in the field was almost dry, one spade went down, then two shovels, and then a big piece of soft mud was dug up. Zi'an poked twice with a shovel, and then dug out a few black grains in the mud with his hands. Then he took it in his hand, pinched the mud almost and threw it on the stalk, his posture was chic, his movements were skillful, and he was a veteran at a glance. Zi'an's operation can be regarded as breaking Tao Zhi's inherent image of her, originally thought that she was a young, scholarly young man, and she never wanted to work and had two brushes. At first, it was the Zijun sisters who quickly picked it up and put it in the basket, and later Tao Zhi couldn't help but join them.
