Chapter 43: Farewell
"Is Daddy in good health, why didn't Ziqian come this time?" Zhang asked about something else, Ziqian is the daughter of his eldest brother's family, two years older than Peach Blossom, and he will come with his eldest brother in the past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Don't worry about your father, he's in good health, he was supposed to come, but the big scalper doesn't know how, he hasn't eaten much in the past two days, your father can't rest assured, he just watches at home." Ziqian caught a cold two days ago, so she didn't take her out. Zhou replied.
Peach Blossom's grandmother's family has a good life, raising a big yellow cow, more than a dozen acres of land, and also contracted the mountains and forests, selling some timber, it is said that there is such a daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law should be treated well, I really don't understand what the Liu family thinks.
"Ziqian is sick, can you take medicine, is she better?" asked Zhang hurriedly.
"Hehe, it's almost fine, but I didn't let her come with me because I was afraid of getting cold again, you don't know how much she wants to come, so she sent me a hunger strike. Zhou couldn't help but smile when he talked about his little granddaughter.
"This kid," Zhang cried and laughed, "is still as naughty as when he was a child." ”
"Sister Ziqian is really, she is so old and so ignorant, grandma, don't worry, I will go with my mother in two days, and I will teach her a lesson for you. Peach Blossom came over and said like a little adult.
After listening to Peach Blossom's words, and then looking at Peach Blossom's solemn appearance, everyone in the room laughed.
Zhou's tears of laughter flowed out, and he said again and again: "Okay, Peach Blossom is really a good baby for grandma, and when I look back and see your sister Ziqian, I must teach you a good lesson." “
A meal took a long time to finish, talking and laughing, it was very lively, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the peach blossoms were also warm in their hearts, they only felt very beautiful, she enjoyed the feeling of being under the knees of the elders, and her heart was soft.
After eating, when the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, Zhang's threw a group of children out of the kitchen, not letting them make a fuss here, Peach Blossom was one step behind, and he vaguely heard Zhang's asking Zhou.
"This time, do you want to go to the old mansion?"
Zhou's voice was a little vague, and he couldn't really hear it, "It's better not to go, she doesn't want to see me if she wants to......"
The back was not clear to hear, Peach Blossom wanted to go to the door to listen for a while, but was called away by Pear Blossom and asked her to help look at the embroidery.
In the afternoon, Peach Blossom did not go out with Mingsheng and them, but gathered around her grandmother to listen to the adults. What is said is the parents' shortcomings, but Peach Blossom listens to it with relish, only feels that her grandmother has her own opinions when she speaks and does things, and the words she said to Zhang's seem to be educating her daughter how to behave, it is good to be humble in everything, but you can't let others bully. Peach Blossom always felt that Zhou's words meant something else, and couldn't help but look up at Zhang and Pear Blossom. Peach Blossom smiled at the corner of her mouth, it seems that her mother's gentleness and strength are genetic.
Then he asked Zhang and Jin Dazhong about their future plans, Zhang happily said about the embroidery, and said that after the New Year, he was going to go into the city to buy some paper and pen drawings to make money, Zhou smiled and nodded, naturally he couldn't help but praise the peach blossoms.
"But this is also temporary, we are not as clever as those painters, we still have to find a real thing to do, this is the livelihood, can bring a stable income to the family. Zhou admonished.
Zhang nodded yes. Peach Blossom secretly praised Zhou's understanding of things, he really couldn't think of a lot of tricks, and he could only think of some modern commonplace patterns in his memory.
After saying a few words to his son, Zhou's family is leaving, it is late in winter, and it will take a lot of time to travel more than 20 miles, they set off before dawn, and they arrived after walking for a few hours, and it is not safe at night, so they naturally have to go back early. Zhang was very reluctant and refused to let go of his mother's hand.
Zhou also forced a smile, his voice was choked, and he said: "You must live yourself well, you don't have to worry about your father." “
"Mother!" Zhang wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say, her heart was sour, she wanted to keep her mother by her side, but there was no extra room in her own house.
"Grandma, we can't bear you!" Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom children also came out and gathered around the car, reluctant to give up. Ziteng's brothers also said goodbye to Jingsheng, asking them to go in a few days, Mingsheng tears rolled in his eyes, tugging at Zixi's sleeves and not wanting them to leave.
"Okay, don't be sad, we'll take the children to my mother's place in a few days, it's getting dark this day, don't let my mother and them go at night. Jin Dazhong walked over and pulled Zhang's way.
Zhang's tears finally flowed down and said goodbye to Zhou, Zhou's eyes were also moist, and he was separated from Jin Dazhong's family in the cold wind.
"Auntie, goodbye uncle!"
"Jingsheng, goodbye Mingsheng!"
The Ziteng brothers stood in the car and waved.
"Goodbye!"
Peach Blossom also waved.
It wasn't until the shadow of the car could no longer be seen that Jin Dazhong and Zhang took the children back to the house.
The next day, I was busy visiting relatives and friends, and in the afternoon, when I was free, Peach Blossom had time to discuss the previous plan with Jingsheng, and I would improve it, for the sake of insurance, the two decided to call Zhang Meng, and there was no fear of accidents with this strong man. So, Peach Blossom and Jingsheng, Mingsheng came to Zhang Meng's house with a good thing, and several people had a sneaky discussion, with a strange smile on their faces.
Then Jingsheng began to ask the little friends in the village about the two dogs, it turned out that the two dogs were well-known bad ruffians in Sheephead Village, and his father Li Erdan was a drunkard, and he beat his mother when he was drunk, so his mother ran away with someone not long after giving birth to him. His father also sent him to school for a few days, but unfortunately he was not the material for studying, and his father sent him to the school to see that he was either fighting with people or gambling with others, and slowly he didn't care, let him go, and save a waste of money. This kid slowly became more lawless. Now he even relied on knowing a few ruffians and hooligans in the city, so he took advantage of the Chinese New Year to bully children everywhere in various villages, forcing them to pay New Year's money, or a few people would come forward and beat people.
"I wish this was going to arrest someone and beat them up. Zhang Meng clenched his hands into fists and said angrily.
"It's such a bully. Mingsheng also puffed out his little face and said, "They should be sent to the government." ”
"It's not that easy, those ruffians aren't easy to mess with. Jingsheng frowned.
"Calm. "The peach blossom is the old god, although this kid has a pitiful background, but it is not a reason for him to harm others. The corners of Peach Blossom's mouth curled slightly, and she whispered softly: "As much as he takes, I will let him spit out as much money as he wants." ”
Several people looked over, and Peach Blossom beckoned, so a few little heads got together again and began to chatter.
Early the next morning, Zhang Meng pushed his own cart, Peach Blossom and Mingsheng sat on it, Jingsheng and Zhang Meng walked side by side, and the group went to the direction of Yangtou Village.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, Peach Blossom and Ming were born, Zhang Meng hid the cart in the woods on the side of the road, and then several people followed the sparsely populated path to the backyard of a family.
Looking left and right to see that there was no one, Peach Blossom handed the prepared note to Zhang Meng. The pen and paper were originally going to Jingsheng to borrow from Su Jinchen, but Zhang Meng said that he had them at home, and his father would teach him to read and write on weekdays, which surprised Taohua.
Zhang Meng took the note, the note was dictated by Peach Blossom, and then asked Jing Sheng to write it, he didn't read it at the time, but at the moment he took it and looked at it, his tense face couldn't help but laugh, Peach Blossom quickly covered his mouth and asked him to be quiet.
Zhang Meng was stunned, the touch on his lips was warm and soft, he vaguely smelled a faint sweetness between his noses, raised his eyes and looked at the peach blossoms, only to feel a circle of ripples in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What are you stunned about? There will be no one here, hurry up. Peach Blossom urged.
"Well, okay. Zhang Meng reacted at this time, his face suddenly had a fever, and when he saw that Jingsheng and Mingsheng also looked over, he quickly turned around and came to the back wall.
The back wall is also made of mud, more than one person is tall, although Zhang Meng is only twelve or thirteen years old, but his figure is very burly and straight, much taller than his peers, plus his natural divine power, he looks like a little lion fierce. At this point, he took a few steps back and cushioned, then stepped forward suddenly, kicked hard under his feet, and jumped out of Lao Gao, his hand propped up on the wall, and he climbed in with almost no effort.
Mingsheng clapped his hands quietly in the back.
Seeing that Zhang Meng had flipped in, several people also hurriedly stepped forward, lying on the wall to listen to the movement, and seeing that there was no sound, they were relieved.
Besides, Zhang Meng entered the courtyard, and the courtyard was silent, so it could be seen that no one got up. Zhang Meng walked around several rooms and came to one of the rooms, which was the room where the second dog was.
The room was dirty and messy, Zhang Meng frowned, and when he came to the bedside, the two dogs shrunk into a ball and slept in the quilt, and the snoring sound was earth-shattering, and it was estimated that he might not be able to wake up if he carried people away. The jet-black quilt hadn't been washed for a long time, emitting a musty smell, covering his mouth and nose in disgust, Zhang Meng lifted the quilt and pasted the prepared note on the other party's chest. Then he quickly left the house, the air was so foul that he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Out of the yard, he nodded to Peach Blossom, indicating that it was all done.
Then a few people left quietly, careful along the way, so as not to be seen.
Out of the village, only then did he dare to laugh loudly, Zhang Meng found the cart, and several people rushed back.
