One foot went up, but the door did not move. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dongmei glanced at Sister-in-law Du next to her, Sister-in-law Du was shocked, and thought that Dongmei asked her to kick the door, so she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "You are so tall, you can't kick it, let alone me, no, no." ”
Dongmei pointed to the door and said, "It's not for you to pick it up, I can't kick it open alone, which means that the two of us will kick it together." ”
Sister-in-law Du still shook her head and said, "We are women, where can we kick open such a strong door." ”
Dongmei listened to the sound of whipping in the room getting louder and louder, thinking that if she let it go on like this, maybe Ma Meizi would be broken, so she grabbed Du's hand and didn't let her go, and said: "Although the strength of a woman is small, the strength of two women can always withstand the strength of a man. ”
When Sister-in-law Du saw Dongmei's strong expression, she didn't dare to resist, so she followed Dongmei, listened to Dongmei's slogan, and kicked at the door.
Once, twice, and finally the third time, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
Dongmei, who rushed into the yard, smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and then saw the naked Ma Meizi lying on the floor of the inner room rolling, while her husband, a man in his twenties with long hair and shirtless, was constantly whipping Ma Meizi's body.
Dongmei didn't know where she got the courage, so she used all her strength to rush over, and pushed the man's back, and the man was pushed and fell into the house, and the beer bottle and belt in his hand were thrown out together.
Ma Meizi saw Dongmei and Sister-in-law Du rushing in, and shouted as if she saw a savior: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, help me." ”
Dongmei stepped forward decisively and helped up the Ma girl lying on the bottom board, and found that her body was covered with red marks drawn by the belt from bottom to top, and no one could see it.
Ma Meizi's man staggered up from the ground, picked up the belt not far away, and said with a sip of wine: "You two women get out of here for me, don't be nosy." ”
Dongmei helped the limping Ma girl and walked out and said, "Are you still a man, what kind of ability is it to beat your wife like this." ”
After speaking, Dongmei, from the breath that came out of Ma Meizi's mouth, also smelled a strong smell of wine, obviously both of them drank a lot of wine.
When the man heard that Dongmei had counted him, he rushed up with the strength of the wine, and he was about to beat Dongmei.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Sister-in-law Du rushed up, although she was low, but she jumped up and scolded the man: "Zhao Baoqiang, don't think I don't know you, you are in a drill team with Lao Du, I have seen you, you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble and don't learn well, and now you still want to beat us elderly women, you try Dongmei today, see her man come back and don't pick your skin." ”
Hearing Sister-in-law Du's scolding, Zhao Baoqiang seemed to sober up, looked at Sister-in-law Du in front of him carefully, and then stopped talking.
Dongmei and Sister-in-law Du took Ma Meizi back to Dongmei's house, Dongmei found a towel to wipe her, and then found out her own clothes, and put them on for Ma Meizi, because Ma Meizi was too tall and plump, she couldn't wear Dongmei's pants, no way, Dongmei could only take out the only one, and the skirt she bought with Guo Lanying was put on for Ma Meizi, which completely covered her fat buttocks.
Then she took out a patriotic short-sleeved shirt and put it on Ma Meizi, and then completely "armed" her.
Ma Meizi, who was lying on the bed, said to Dongmei and Sister-in-law Du with a sip of wine: "Sister-in-law, thank you for coming, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by him tonight." ”
Dongmei poured her a glass of water and said, "Hey, women are pitiful, when I hear your call, I know that he beat you." ”
Sister-in-law Du next to her suddenly thought of a serious question, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Ma, where is your doll?
Ma Meizi wiped away her tears and said, "The doll took my mother's house." ”
Ma Meizi's parents' house is also in a yard, her mother is a cleaner, and her father is a retired old worker who lives in the Burke Building.
Dongmei looked at the injuries on Ma Meizi's body and said, "Sister, are you uncomfortable, no, we will send you to the hospital to see." ”
Ma Meizi retched and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, this is not the first time she has beaten me, it's all skin injuries, just recover." ”
Dongmei was very surprised, thinking that such a serious beating was enough once, could it have happened many times before, she looked at Ma Meizi sympathetically.
Sister-in-law Du next to her sighed and said: "When they first got married, Zhao Baoqiang beat him, and he also beat him when he was pregnant, and now he is still beating with children, hey, marrying this kind of man is really a sin." ”
Dongmei brought the water to Ma Meizi's mouth, fed her a mouthful of water, and asked incomprehensibly: "This treasure is strong, why is there a reason for beating people?" ”
Sister-in-law Du shrugged her shoulders and said, "There is no reason, as long as you drink alcohol, you will fight." ”
has been in Ma Meizi's neighborhood for a long time, and Sister-in-law Du has long been accustomed to Ma Meizi's "ghost crying wolf howl", so when Dongmei anxiously pulled her, she didn't take this kind of domestic violence seriously.
Dongmei scolded angrily: "What a drunkard, what else did you do with him, just leave it, follow this kind of person, you will die sooner or later." ”
Hearing the word "divorce", Ma Meizi suddenly cried out loud, she cried, and said: "I met her at the age of seventeen, my family met him, no one agreed, I withstood the pressure, married him at the age of eighteen, not to mention the bride price, even the banquet was not held, so I married her, for this reason my family broke with me, even when I gave birth to a baby, my parents did not come to see me."
I love him and marry him, but what am I trying to do, my child is not yet a year old, if you ask me if I am divorced, who will raise my child, and what man would want me to be a woman with children. ”
Dongmei shook her head, trembling in her heart, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, this sentence is not false at all, if a woman follows the wrong man in this life, it will be like getting on the wrong boat, there is no turning back, she can only sit hard to the end.
Later, I learned from Sister-in-law Du that the reason why the house she lived in was added to the middle and no one lived in it for a long time was because of the domestic violence that often occurred in Ma Meizi's house.
At Ma Meizi's house next door, domestic violence incidents often occur to Taotao, which brings a certain psychological shadow to Taotao, and he often has nightmares at night.
On this day, in order to alleviate Taotao's mood, Dongmei specially invited Liu Hongxia's family to bring her two beautiful daughters to the house as guests.
Early in winter, Mei went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables and fruits, and prepared to stir-fry a few dishes.
Before Liu Hongxia's family came, Dongmei neatly set up apples, pears, oranges, grapes, etc. on the table, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Before cooking, because the fruit was bought less, Dongmei deliberately poked her head out and warned the two children: "Don't eat the fruit on the table first, and when the guests come, when the guests pick it up and eat it, you can pick it up and eat it again." ”
On the Loess Plateau, fruit is a rare thing, because the price is very high, it is usually difficult for children to eat fruit, Tao Tao and Nana looked at the fruit on the table intently, saliva swirling in their mouths, but they still said in unison: "I know Mom, we won't eat it." ”
Halfway through the winter plum rice, he looked back at it uneasily, and then continued to add: "Even if the guests start to eat fruit after a while, you can only eat one per person, and you are not allowed to eat more, otherwise there will be not enough fruit, remember it." ”
Tao Tao and Nana swallowed their saliva and said, "Mom, I know, we only eat one." ”
Seeing that the children were doing well, Dongmei turned around with confidence and concentrated on stir-frying.
Nana looked at the fruit in front of her, she couldn't help it, she wanted to eat it but didn't dare to eat it, so she leaned her mouth over, stretched out her tongue and licked it on the grapes, and then quickly retracted it, for fear that her mother would find out.
And Tao Tao coveted apples, he knew that this kind of apples were called Red Fuji, which were particularly crisp and sweet, and much better than Qin Guan and Marshal Huang in his hometown.
However, the child's self-control was limited after all, and Nana finally couldn't help it, she picked up a grape, threw it into her mouth quickly, and then turned around and ate it quickly.
Seeing that Nana stole the fruit, Taotao wanted to sue his mother, but when he looked back, instead of suing his mother, it was better to go along with Nana, so he reached out and took an apple, hid it in his short sleeves, and ran into his bedroom.
In order to prevent his mother from discovering him, he lifted the quilt, got in, and ate the whole apple like a rabbit in the darkness of the quilt.
And Nana, who was sitting next to the fruit, was not far behind, eating the first grape, and then starting to eat the second, and with the second, there was a third, and in less than ten minutes, Nana ate two-thirds of the grapes (there were not many grapes in the first place).
After a while, Liu Hongxia walked in with her two daughters, Li Jing and Li Mao.
Dongmei, who had already cooked the meal, welcomed with both hands: "Hongxia, come here, why didn't you see Li Jianjun coming." ”
Liu Hongxia said: "Li Jianjun is like your family to defend the country, drilling wells in the mountains to make money." ”
Dongmei smiled and said, "Didn't you see him still here some time ago, and left so soon." ”
Liu Hongxia said: "Li Jianjun has been promoted to captain, so he ended his vacation early. ”
Hearing this, Dongmei said enviously: "Your family is still very powerful, from an ordinary field worker, all the way to the captain, my family is not good at defending the country, I was a technician when I was in Xinjiang, I have been working for more than ten years, and now I am still a technician." ”
Liu Hongxia smiled and said: "Where is it, no matter how well Jianjun does a good job, he is only a junior high school graduate, how can he compare to your family to defend the country, a secondary school student in Tang and Tang." After saying that, the two good sisters laughed.
Dongmei looked at Liu Hongxia's two beautiful daughters and said, "Your two daughters are so beautiful, what grade are they in?"
Li Jing said cutely: "Hello Auntie, I'm in the second grade." ”
Li Mao continued: "I'm in the first grade. ”
Dongmei politely stroked the heads of the two children, beckoned the family of three to sit on the stool next to the table, pointed to the fruit on the table and said, "Hongxia, eat fruit with the children, this grape is very sweet, eat it quickly." ”
After speaking, Dongmei was surprised to see that the grapes that were originally flourishing were only some scraps and placed on the plate, and then looked at Nana, and found that her mouth was full of water, and even her chest and clothes were stained with the purple of grapes.
Dongmei looked at Nana angrily, and scolded in her heart, a child who has no interest, as if he has never eaten, how can he entertain guests when he eats grapes like this.
Liu Hongxia touched Nana's head and said, "The doll is very well-behaved." Dongmei, your woman and son look so similar, they are both very smart. ”
Dongmei, who was about to get angry at Nana, held back her anger and said with a smile: "Yes, this daughter looks like a boy, everything is good, but she is very greedy and greedy." ”
Liu Hongxia looked at the grapes on the plate, laughed and said, "What about your son, why don't you see anyone?"
Dongmei looked left and right, and said, "I was still here just now, stinky boy, where did I go?" ”
Nana saw that her mother was looking for her brother, so she shouted into the bedroom, "Brother, have you finished eating, the guests have already come." ”
Taotao, who was hiding in the quilt and eating apples, was startled by Nana's words, thinking that this Nana is too bad, I didn't betray you, you actually betrayed me and exposed me stealing apples, so I walked out with my face pulled.
Tao Tao, who came out, wiped his red mouth and said, "Auntie is good." ”
Liu Hongxia looked at Taotao's red lips and said, "Why are Taotao's lips so red, it's the same as touching lipstick." ”
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as talking about Dongmei's pride, she suddenly became in a better mood, and said: "Taotao's red lips are inherited from me." When I was younger, people used to ask me if you touched lipstick, and I said no, but they still didn't believe me. ”
Liu Hongxia said jokingly: "I didn't see it, Dongmei, you are naturally beautiful." ”
Dongmei smiled and said to Taotao: "Hurry up and say hello to the two younger sisters, the older one is called Li Jing, and the younger one is called Li Mao." ”
Tao Tao hurried over, and was just about to say hello, when he suddenly found that the two little girls in front of him were not the two little sisters who sat behind him and asked themselves the answers during the previous exam?
