7. Chapter 7

In the evening, Zhou Meng and Zhou Shengwu really bought a piece of meat and came back, and when they saw that there was still more than half a cart of cabbage, Zhou Yun didn't bother to ask how the business was, and hurriedly said: "Dad, my classmates came to see me in the afternoon and told me a piece of news, saying that Wei Da'an has lamb madness, my sister's matter, don't be in such a hurry, ask again." ”

"But your mother we went to see him, and we also found out that although he is thinner, there is nothing wrong with him. ”

"It is not too prudent to be cautious in the affairs of a lifetime. After my classmate left, I thought about it for a long time, either the people in his village knew that he was going to say that he was going to say that he was going to lie to us, or my classmate made a mistake. But it's not a hurry these days, it's not a bad thing for us to ask more. ”

"Hmph, if he dares to lie to us, I have to beat him until he can't take care of himself. "Zhou Shengwu is very strong, his appearance follows Zhou Gang, and his sun-tanned face lines are very tough and more attractive. He is honest and has a good popularity, but when it comes to family matters, he is easy to be impulsive.

Zhou Meng glared at Zhou Shengwu, "It's not like beating the children of those families, don't beat them at every turn, use your brains more!" and turned his head to Zhou Yun and said with a pleasant face: "You have a point." But if the people in his village are lying to us, it will be difficult for us to find out no matter how much we ask. But it's okay for him, it's a pity to miss it. "Especially Dafang's appearance is ordinary, her family is poor, and she is old, so it is not so easy to encounter such a good family affair.

"My brother-in-law sells meat, doesn't he often have to go down to the village to collect pigs, we can ask him to help inquire. ”

Zhou Yun's brother-in-law is the husband of Lin Xinzhen's eldest sister Lin Xinxia. The reason why she is called brother-in-law is not called uncle-in-law is because this title is still called according to her mother's family.

Since Zhou Yun was sensible, he knew his biological parents, and his relatives also knew about it. She is called a relative of the adoptive parents and the biological parents, but the relatives of the adoptive parents are called the adoptive parents.

"That's a way to do it. ”

Zhou Meng took out an old notebook from the house, tore off a piece of paper from it, poured out some broken cigarettes from an iron box, skillfully rolled a cigarette and took a puff, and thought for a while and said, "I'll ask you and your uncle again." "My brother-in-law is always a relative outside, so if I don't bother my relatives, I still don't bother them.

"Shengwu, it is estimated that your mother and they will come back late, don't wait for them, Xiaofang is sick again, you cut the meat and fry it for a while. With that, he strode out.

They are two brothers, and after the separation, their father was raised by Zhou Gang, and their mother was raised by Zhou Meng. Old Man Zhou died of a sudden heart attack, and Mrs. Zhou lingered in the hospital bed for many years, and her coffin was placed on the shed of the house built above the beam of Zhou Meng's house, and was painted once a year, ready for her to use. However, I don't know if Zhou Meng and his family took good care of it, and Mrs. Zhou has been working hard for more than ten years.

Zhou Gang didn't pay a dollar to see Zhou's mother, saying that they had given their father a funeral, and his mother had been raised by Zhou Meng, and it had nothing to do with them.

People don't dare to get sick when they are poor, and when Zhou Lao Niang died and held a funeral, Zhou Meng spent all the money he earned and owed foreign debts. The main creditor is the eldest brother's family, that is, Zhou Yun's biological parents Lin Xinsheng's family.

Zhou Yun came to Zhou's house at this time, so both of them were a little cautious about this adopted daughter. After working for many years, the foreign debt was paid off, but he still had not saved enough money to build a house for his son, and now the family still lives in the old house that he divided half earth and half brick when the family was separated. The place where Katsumu lived was on the roof where the coffin was originally kept.

The son is tall and big, and he works hard, but he pulls in the soil all day long, and his income is limited, so Zhou Meng is not worried that he will go out to work by himself. Someone said goodbye to him, and when he asked, the family was crowded in an old house, and there was no follow-up. The conditions at home are not good, and the daughter is ordinary and fat, and she is not high or low, and she has not settled down until now.

Seeing that everyone who is almost the same age has booked someone's house, although Zhou Meng doesn't say it, he is anxious about it in his heart, especially his daughter, after the age of time, it is not so easy to find a good in-law, so he is also very concerned about Wei Da'an, who is introduced by Wang Caifeng, if Wei Da'an has no problem, he is not willing to miss this family business.

The two families were not far away, and Zhou Meng soon arrived at the courtyard of Zhou Gang's house. Zhou Gang's house is much stronger than his family, the courtyard wall is newly built, and the house has long been replaced by a half-brick and half-adobe house with a blue-tiled and red brick wall. In addition, he also built a new house for his eldest son Shengwen to live in, which is much stronger than Zhou Meng's family.

Pushed the door in, Wang Caifeng was cooking in the kitchen, Zhou Gang was sitting on a stool in the house listening to the commentary "Bao Gong Case", and the children of the Shengwen family climbed up and down on his lap to play.

Seeing his younger brother coming over to make a cigarette, Zhou Gang showed his impatience, "Who still smokes their own cigarettes now." I said second child, don't be reluctant to spend money, how much is a box of cigarettes?" he gave Zhou Meng a big front door, and said proudly: "It's still a filter, you can taste it." ”

Zhou Meng took the cigarette he rolled, put it on his ear, lit the big front door and asked, "Brother, why did I hear that Wei Da'an was sick?"

Wang Caifeng hurriedly came out of the kitchen, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Who is chewing behind someone's back?

"I remember that Shufang's mother's family has relatives in Weijia Village, haven't you heard of this?"

"If he is sick, I will say kiss to Da Fang, if you don't believe me, forget it!" Wang Caifeng patted her chest, "I will also tell the truth, according to Da Fang's conditions, such a good family affair is rare! Don't blame me for your delay!"

Zhou Gang was a little weak-hearted, but thinking that Wei Da'an was usually the same as ordinary people, and his illness was not a big deal, he nodded.

"Who wants to say kiss?" Zhou Shengwen and his wife Zhang Shufen walked over and asked.

"It's Dafang. ”

"Dafang is also going to say kiss, this is a happy event, which one are you talking about?"

"Wei Da'an of Weijia Village. ”

"Wei Da'an?" Zhang Shufang couldn't hold back her surprise.

Wang Caifeng avoided Zhou Meng and threw a look at his daughter-in-law, and said, "Yes, it's Wei Da'an from Weijia Village." Uncle, don't worry, I'm also thinking about Dafang, and I specifically asked Shufang's relatives. ”

Zhou Meng asked Zhang Shufang again, "Shufang, do you know what Wei Da'an is like?"

The father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they didn't know the actual situation, and they said that they had asked their relatives, but it was not good to dismantle their platform in person, Zhang Shufang responded vaguely.

Unable to find out the news, Zhou Meng said goodbye in doubt.

Zhang Shufen took over her son who rushed towards her with her arms outstretched, and frowned, "Mom, Wei Da'an seems to have a physical problem, does my second uncle's family know?"

"If it weren't for Wei Da'an's illness, with Zhou Dafang's sassy face, would he be able to find Wei Da'an's conditions?" Wang Caifeng pouted, "Short and fat, the family is so poor, who would be willing to find such a daughter-in-law!"

"But the second uncle's family doesn't know, it's not good. Zhou Shengwen received the look of his daughter-in-law, and he was a little unhappy that his parents were like this, and when the matter was leaked, people would point to their backbones and scold them.

"Who am I for, not for your brothers? I sue you Shengwen, you can't say anything about this matter, if Dafang's marriage is yellow, you will give him the bride price of the victory to marry his daughter-in-law!"

I didn't hear that my younger brother had to give him a bride price when he married his daughter-in-law and became the eldest brother, but when I heard this, Zhang Shufen didn't know that her mother-in-law was taking advantage of Dafang's marriage, and it was related to the victorious marriage. She pinched Zhou Shengwen, who still wanted to speak, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we get married in victory." Come, Niuniu, goodbye to grandparents!"

Seeing that Da'er's family was gone, Zhou Gang said, "Do you say that Wei Da'an's matter will be known by his second uncle's family?" ”

"As long as our family doesn't say it, who will know? Wei Da'an is mostly sick at night, and few people know about it, and his father spent a lot of money to block the mouth of the insiders in the village, so as not to expose his family's bottom at this critical time to talk about marriage. You can rest assured. ”

When Zhou Meng went home, Zhou Dafang had just returned from the county seat, and she was showing off the new clothes she bought, which was a red two-breasted half-length thick material coat, which made her feel a lot more energetic. Lin Xinzhen cut her hair and added a bit of neatness, obviously preparing happily for the blind date.

Zhou Dafang also took out a diamond-encrusted hairpin and handed it to Zhou Yun, "If you don't go, we don't know if the clothes are suitable or not, so we didn't dare to buy them, so we bought this for you." ”

The hairpin is unexpectedly good-looking, it is a starfish-shaped, inlaid with fine diamonds, and the card is also very suitable, Zhou Yun thanked her.

Zhou Meng suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything else, and understood why the youngest daughter wanted to say that when the mother and daughter were not at home. One night, he didn't feel that the dishes with meat were too fragrant.

When a few juniors went to watch TV after dinner, he pulled Lin Xinzhen aside and whispered: "Wei Da'an, ask more, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law is coaxing us." It's not that we look down on Dafang, we know our own affairs, with such good conditions, how can we take a fancy to Dafang at a glance?"

"The sister-in-law said that it was because Dafang's conditions were in line with him. ”

"You also believe this kind of thing, when I went to his house, I obviously saw Shengwen's daughter-in-law a little flustered. ”

"Then she said that there is no Wei Da'an, what's the problem?"

"Besides, Shengwen and Shengli are brothers, what can she say. ”

As he was talking, Zhang Shufang came in.
