Chapter 947: My Mother-in-law, a Hardworking and Thrifty Mother-in-law All My Life
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the separation for more than a month made the two men and women who fell in love suffer from lovesickness.
Full of lovesickness, it turned into the endless lingering of two young men and women, living room, bedroom, bathroom...... Every place is a battlefield full of sweat and hormones. Two men and women who eat the marrow and know the taste can't wait to be completely integrated, and they don't want to be separated for a moment.
The decisive battle will be fought until dawn, and it will be rested until death......
After the battle, the room was full of messes, and the clothes scattered everywhere set off the fierceness of the battle.
The next day, some employees of the company found that Zhang Ling, the general manager who had always worked hard, was absent from work, which made them secretly curious.
Only the senior executives of the company who knew that the boss Zhao Mu had returned to China understood the reason, and they all showed ambiguous smiles.
On this day, Zhao Mu and Zhang Ling spent a beautiful two-person world.
Leave all the work chores, forget all the worries of life, and enjoy the best time.
Do a good job of camouflage, go out quietly, go shopping, shop, play...... Laughter and laughter all the way.
After spending a perfect day, Zhao Mu quietly returned to his hometown, and no one was alarmed.
The Hummer H2 drives on a rural road in a remote village, along the way are fields between green mountains and green waters, green pines and cypresses beside the road, small two- and three-story buildings with almost the same shape dotted on the undulating hills, solar water heaters on the roofs, and hanging clothes......
What a mountain and rural scenery!
Breathing in the fresh air, no haze, no gray sky, this makes people feel refreshed.
There is no rush of people, no hustle and bustle of cars, and no high-rise buildings, and there is a sense of tranquility in the air here.
Beethoven's piano music sounded in the car, and the quiet and melodious melody of "To Alice" perfectly matched Zhao Mu's beautiful mood at the moment.
In the song, there are blue skies, seabirds, snow-capped Alps, everything is so beautiful, it seems to be in paradise.
Looking at the past, there is no change in my hometown, and all the scenery is still the same. Zhao Mu thought to himself.
But Zhao Mu found that this barren land that he had wanted to escape from countless times, when he really went out and saw more vast worlds, he missed this place immensely and was attached to this land.
Falling leaves return to the roots, which is rooted in the deep feelings of every Chinese person's soul, the inheritance of the 5,000-year-old history of this farming nation, and the deepest love of this nation for the land that gave birth to the Chinese civilization.
It has been nearly half a year since he left this land, and the stronger he is on this familiar road again, the closer he is to home, the more excited Zhao Mu's mood is.
This is my hometown, although this barren land is poor and backward, it has nurtured itself, carried its eighteen years of youth, recorded all its footprints here, recorded its laughter, tears, and sweat......
The people here are generally not highly educated, do not understand any high art, and do not understand any red tape, but they have a simple heart under their crude performance.
Turning a corner, there is a verdant bamboo forest in front of you, and under the shade of the forest, there is a delicate mud house that is different from the two- and three-story brick houses along the way.
Turning off the music and stopping the car, Zhao Mu, who was smiling, got out of the car and walked towards this unique house in the green forest.
Walking into the smooth boulevard paved with fine cobbles between the green forests, the road ahead is only ten meters, and suddenly the half-hidden houses outside the green forest reveal the whole picture.
The blue tile and red wall, the classic southern traditional mud tile house style, excluding the high-end decoration materials that cannot be distinguished without a closer look, looks really ordinary.
The house sits in the north and faces south, covering an area of about 300 square meters, counting the wide yard, nearly 400 square meters, which is very atmospheric.
Marble floors lined the courtyard on both sides, with rows of evergreens, and two beckoning trees standing side by side near the bamboo grove on the outside.
Two cherry wood logs carved with simple and elegant lines are wide open, revealing the spacious and atmospheric hall inside, the high-end Chinese decoration style invisibly reveals a bit extraordinary, and the 75-inch giant screen HDTV on one side of the wall and several other large technology products highlight a bit of technological modernity.
A gray-haired old woman staggered out of the back room on crutches, and walked to the hall and looked out of the courtyard through the door.
Zhao Mu walked over quickly and lightly supported the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, I'm back, where are you going?"
The mother-in-law slowly raised her head slightly, looked at Zhao Mu's face carefully with cloudy eyes, stretched out her thin right hand and covered the back of Zhao Mu's hand, and a kind smile appeared on the wrinkled old face.
"Oh, it's Mu'er...... You're back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back......"
Patting the back of Zhao Mu's hand, the mother-in-law said, "Didn't you say that you came back today, I just heard the sound of a car in the house, so I came out to see if it was you." ”
Zhao Mu's heart warmed, and he vaguely heard the sound of the car and came out to take a look, thinking that he was going home today, and his mother-in-law should have kept going out of the door to see it many times today.
My mother-in-law is 75 years old this year, and in recent years, she has become more and more old, her body is getting older, and her hearing has deteriorated greatly.
This is the relatives, this is the affection, this is the elders.
This is the undisguised selfless love of the elders and relatives for the future generations, burning themselves to give all their love.
"Well, it's me, I'm back. ”
Holding back the turmoil in his heart, Zhao Mu held his mother-in-law's hand and slowly walked towards the inner room with her in his arms.
"Let's go, mother-in-law, let's go into the house, go in and sit, rest. ”
The mother-in-law smiled with relief, and slowly walked to the back room step by step with Zhao Mu's support, and the green and thin palm was gently placed on Zhao Mu's palm, rough and warm.
"Okay, let's go inside...... Let's go into the house, O shepherd...... It's been a long time since you've been back, and your mother-in-law misses you. ”
Listening to her mother-in-law's old voice, looking at her full head of silver hair, and her staggering steps, Zhao Mu's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but raise his head slightly immediately, lest the wind and sand blow into his eyes.
"Well, I was busy with work some time ago, and I just came back from a trip. ”
"It's okay, mother-in-law, I'm not going anywhere these days, I'm just staying at home with you. ”
"Hmm...... Okay, good...... Chat with my mother-in-law at home......"
"Mother-in-law is old...... It's seventy-five years old this year...... The body is getting worse day by day...... Maybe one day, I'll go......"
"Mother-in-law, what do you say? You have to be good, you better live to be 100 years old, and I want you to be happy, grandson. ”
"Mu'er, it's just right to come back, come, help your dad and me chop vegetables, and get two more dishes to eat." ”
"Well, Dad, come right away. ”
The mother-in-law was not satisfied, and said, "You said you ...... My grandson has just come back, and he hasn't had time to sit down, and no one has had time to take a sip, aren't he tired?
The father suddenly shouted: "Mother, you are really, you have a grandson and forget your son." ”
"Why is he tired? I have been busy getting him food for a day, and I have not said that I am tired. Besides, isn't it right for Lao Tzu to ask his son for help?"
"You're a father, shouldn't you be tired......"
Looking at his father's grievances that dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Zhao Mu laughed secretly in his heart.
You deserve it, who told you that you always like to play music in front of me, and now that you meet an opponent, dare you talk back?
Having seen enough of the jokes, Zhao Mu wittily interrupted his mother-in-law's nagging when his father didn't turn his eyes to find fault.
"Mother-in-law, it's okay, I'm not tired, you take a rest first, I'll go and help get the food out first, anyway, it's nothing." ”
Seeing that his son was so sensible, his father showed a satisfied expression.
Hey, the old lady taught herself that she was not good at repaying the price. Son, don't talk about verbal lessons, there's no problem with beating him directly.
That is, Zhao Mu is witty, otherwise my father will find out that he dares to look at my father's jokes, and I don't want to mix up, right?
Put down the luggage, roll up the sleeves, work generously, the movements are clean and neat, and the work is more slick than the father, the head of the family, without the slightest shelf.
No matter how glamorous and glamorous he is outside, he is in the limelight, and when he returns home, Zhao Mu is still a junior in the family, and he can't afford any shelf. Cooking, sweeping, laundry...... On call.
Zhao Mujia doesn't want to put on a shelf, juniors are juniors, no matter how much ability they have, they are still juniors.
No matter how much temper you have at home, keep it for me, otherwise the elders will teach people a lesson, no matter how capable you are, you have to listen carefully when you are taught, and you will be corrected for me.
Don't look at how beautiful Zhao Mu is outside, he has seen many big names, and he has had pleasant exchanges with many international friends, but he returned home...... Don't say anything London accent English, American English, standard French, standard German...... You even give me Mandarin.
What's the matter? I've been out for two years, and I don't even know the hometown dialect?
Or did you go out and mix for a few years, and when you became famous, you began to put it on your feet? Look down on your family? Look down on the people in your hometown who have no culture?
……
Gotta honestly Trump in his hometown.
Old man, what are you talking about, where did I put it up, don't you want to wronged me......
I'm just used to speaking Mandarin outside, and I haven't reacted yet, so you call me Mai ......
Trump in his hometown, Zhao Mu slipped away every minute, chatting and farting can do everything, and it is not a problem to talk about the north and the south.
Kitchen knives tuk tuk on log cutting board...... Several cucumbers are quickly cut into pieces of exactly the same size. A flash of knife flashed, and several artichokes were cut into pieces, and then turned into neat and uniform shredded artichokes.
Don't ask why you don't use a shredder, perfect knife skills are a must for professional chefs. With that thing, you cut one and I can cut ten.
Tuk Tuk ...... In the voice, the father leaned into Zhao Mu's ear and whispered: "Your mother-in-law is getting more and more stingy now, like a child, you can't hear a bad word about her, otherwise you can have a temper with you for a long time." ”
"Hey...... It's said that the old is back to the small, the old is back to the small, it's normal ......"
Zhao Mu's voice had just sounded, and his father immediately said in his ear: "Be quiet, why are you talking so big?"
"Don't look at her now, if you say bad things about her, she can hear her from afar. ”
"By the way, grandpa, why didn't you see him?"
Zhao Mu decisively changed the topic, her mother-in-law was at the door of the kitchen, if she heard it, she would be angry again.
Without waiting for my father to speak, my mother-in-law heard this sentence and was already the first to speak.
"What else can you do, a group of old men have gone to play mahjong. ”
"You don't know his card addiction, when he was busy, he had to find time to rub mahjong, not to mention that he didn't have to run around now, he knew how to rub mahjong all day long, and he couldn't wait to sleep at the mahjong table. ”
Listening to his mother-in-law's unhappy nagging, Zhao Mu smiled and persuaded: "This is good, grandpa has worked hard for most of his life, and now he is over seventy years old, if it weren't for this family, he would have had a good rest." ”
"It's rare to rest now, it's good to play mahjong or something, and it's not good to stay at home every day and not go out. ”
"Hmph, it doesn't cost anything to play mahjong, why don't you keep this money?"
Hearing this, Zhao Mu smiled, her mother-in-law has worked hard all her life, and she has been thrifty all her life, and she has always spent one penny as two cents, so naturally she can't see her grandfather spending money on the mahjong table.
"Mother-in-law, it's okay, your grandson can earn money now, spend some money to make grandpa happy, nothing, grandson, I can earn it back." ”
Zhao Mu understands that when grandpa and their elderly people are on the occasion, the mahjong table is noisy, in fact, even if you play for a day, the most you can win or lose is only a few hundred yuan.
A few hundred dollars was not a trivial matter for the previous family, but for the current Zhao Mu, it was just an insignificant pocket money.
Being able to make grandpa happy with a little money is totally worth it.
Not to mention a few hundred yuan, even if it is doubled tenfold, Zhao Mu doesn't care, and he can afford it completely.
Not to mention that there are always winners and losers in mahjong, as long as grandpa is happy, Zhao Mu would rather him lose a little more. In this way, the grandfather was happy, and the other old men on the mahjong table were also happy, and they were all happy.
After all, most of the other old men in the village are bitter in the countryside, of course they are happy when they win, but it is rare to be happy when they lose, and they may not even be able to afford to lose.
After all, the families of other old men do not have the current economic conditions of Zhao Mu's family.
Being able to use a little money to make grandpa happy and other people happy, in exchange for a harmonious atmosphere of hello, hello, hello, everyone, this is far more important than money in Zhao Mu's opinion.
After all, a good atmosphere makes it easier to have a good mood. For an elderly person, it is extremely important to maintain a good mood.
"Hmph, you just rely on him, it's really not worth money. ”
"It's better to make money than to spend money, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful......"
Listening to her mother-in-law's chatter, Zhao Mu smiled slightly, this is my mother-in-law who has been diligent and thrifty all my life!
