Chapter 91: Cheng Shaojie's Family
Cheng Shaojie's father, Cheng Guoliang, is an authentic farmer, with a simple personality and a strong body, he is a person who works more and talks less at home, with a round face, and always looks smiling when he speaks. The romance debuted, and his mother Wang Xiumei was a shrewd and neat woman, with a long face and fluffy black eyes that were slightly sunken. Cheng Shaojie has two sisters and a younger sister, and you can imagine how his parents spoiled him back then, and now they take Cheng Jiahui as a matter of course. His two elder sisters looked like his father, both in face and in shape, round and full, very strong and healthy, smiling when they spoke, and their personalities were also loyal people. They were both enthusiastic and curious about me coming to the family. The eldest sister Cheng Yanping married to farm in the village, and the second sister Cheng Yanhua also married to work as a farmer in Donggou Village in the township, and only the younger sister Cheng Yanling married a small owner of a plumbing and building materials store in the county. Cheng Shaojie and his sister Cheng Yanling look like his mother, with a slightly dark complexion, but their facial features are very tangible, and they both have a pair of dark eyes, which looks shrewd and a little self-righteous.
Cheng Yanling, like her mother, was a little puzzled and excited about me marrying Cheng Shaojie, but no matter what her mother thought in her heart, her face was extremely enthusiastic and even a little proud. And Cheng Yanling didn't know why she felt that her attitude towards me was a little weird since we met, she cared most about my identity, but she felt that she was the only city person in the family, so she wanted to put on a look in front of me that she didn't pay much attention to me. When he spoke, he talked in front of me about how much he had a relationship with the leader of the county bureau, so that he could raise his worth. And she is very concerned about my appearance, and she pays special attention to what brand of clothes I wear and what brand of cosmetics I use. I know very well what she thinks in her heart, she used to be the most beautiful and powerful person in this family, but my strength came to me, and I didn't even plan to be a little humble, so that she didn't even have this advantage, and she cared a lot about whether I looked down on their family, I think she was a person with strong self-esteem like Cheng Shaojie, obviously I didn't let her feel my humble demeanor, and her dissatisfaction in her heart can be imagined. Although I know what she is thinking, where is she in the mood to take care of her careful thoughts, she saw that I was very dissatisfied with her lukewarm appearance, and saw that Cheng Shaojie was too caring for me, so she sneered from time to time, so as to show that not everyone in this family looked at my face. I'm a little annoyed by her pediatric behavior, and I don't bother to fight with them at all, and when I see them, I know that I'm not a person on the same channel, so I basically don't communicate with her.
Took Li Haoyu and Cheng Jiahui to Linshui Village, after the family finished eating, because Cheng Yanling was in my reluctance to talk to them, I was in the yard to change the soil in the pot, Cheng Shaohui came to see me squatting on the ground to add soil to the pot, so he pulled a chair for me and said, "Don't get it, rest for a while", and said that I moved the flower pot with the soil to the side of the courtyard wall.
Cheng Yanling followed Cheng Shaoming to stand aside and pouted, smiling without a smile: "Yo, brother, you really feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, my mother raised you so much and never saw you treat your mother so well."
Cheng Shaojie and I are not so intimate at all, and I don't like him to be courteous to me in front of people, seeing Cheng Yanling speak in such a tone, I just feel a little annoyed. I looked up at Cheng Yanling and ignored her with a calm face, stood up and patted the soil on my hands, and said to Cheng Shaojie: "I have left in advance, and you will take Cheng Jiahui and Li Haoyu back and come back early, they still have homework to finish", after speaking, he picked up his things and said hello to his parents-in-law and left Linshui Village.
I wasn't angry, I just told her not to provoke me in the future. Respect and stay away from ghosts and gods, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is also. A little offending her early can reduce a lot of trouble in the future. Indeed, since then, Cheng Yanling not only never talked to me in a weird way, but even avoided my face as much as possible. Even Cheng Shaojie's mother was a little in awe of me, and often looked at my face and spoke.
But I still went to Linshui Village as if nothing happened, and treated my mother-in-law with a pleasant face. No matter what she thinks of me in her heart, but she is my elder, I won't be rude to her, but there is no need for Cheng Yanling.
When the family meets, I often chat with Cheng Shaojie's eldest sister and second sister, and listen to them tell the story of the village of the east and west family, and I know from their mouths that Wang Shishi's real name is Wang Lei in Linshui Village, and Huang Fatzi's real name is Huang Qiang.
Such a lively family and I get along lukewarmly, without deliberately being close or deliberately estranged. I don't mean to underestimate them, I know very well in my heart: if we get along for a long time, intimacy will not be at this time. If you don't have the chance to become a family again, at least you won't have deeper resentment if you get along soon
It's spring, the weather is getting hotter, people can't help but want to run out, Cheng Shaojie and I took the two children back to Linshui Village on the rest day, the grapes have been on the shelves when they come back, and now they have grown small fruit buds, and the grass in the yard has been drilled out of the ground, I asked Cheng Shaojie: "What do you plan to plant this year?" ”
He said: "I don't plan to farm this year, I have contracted the brick factory in the village from Dong Youguang, so I want to subcontract my family's land to someone else to plant."
This sudden news stunned me, and I looked at him for a while and asked, "When did this happen?" How did I not know? Didn't you hear you say that you had been plowing the ground some time ago? ”
He looked at the vegetables in the courtyard and said, "This is just after the Spring Festival, we were not married at that time, and I have been busy plowing other people's homes during this time."
"You have a good planting, why do you want to contract a brick factory? Subcontracting from others, and now the brick factory is very profitable, and the subcontracting fee is a lot of money."
Cheng Shaojie was silent for a while and said: "I just want to try to make a business, I don't want to be just a farmer for the rest of my life."
"Isn't it good for you to be a farmer? The income is also no worse than those who go to work! I said with some displeasure.
Cheng Shaojie frowned slightly and said, "Can't I be a boss?" Who looks up to the peasants? Even if you are rich, you are inferior, but it is different when you become a boss, I have this brick factory, others will not laugh at you for marrying a farmer, and your friends will not look down on you and me."
He actually has this mind, and it seems that he has not been thinking about changing his identity for a day or two, maybe since he met me or earlier.
I was a little angry and said: "If I want to marry the boss, I will directly find a boss to marry, and I still need to marry a farmer and then turn him into a boss, I don't care what others think or say, you can do whatever you want, I don't need you to change."
Cheng Shaojie didn't care about my feelings this time, and said stubbornly: "I have already contracted the brick factory, and I may not be able to take care of it if I plant the land again."
I didn't back down, and said in a tough tone: "Even if you contract a brick factory, you must hire someone to do it, can you burn bricks yourself?" You can also hire people to farm, you are a farmer, don't lose your capital, Cheng Jiahui and Li Haoyu can also help when the farm is busy."
Cheng Shaojie looked at me in surprise and said, "You don't know farm work at all, how can farming be as simple as you think, what can the two of them do?" Can they endure the hardships of farming? ”
"Why can't they suffer? It's men who should suffer a little so that they can grow up, and in the future, they will come back to help with the work during the holidays, although I have never farmed, but I have not seen farming."
"Cheng Jiahui is okay, Li Haoyu has never done farm work at all! Besides, the two of them don't have anything to do at all," Cheng Shaojie said stubbornly.
"I have to let him do it if he hasn't done it, just to let him suffer a little and know where the food comes from, otherwise he will never grow up" I didn't plan to back down.
Seeing my insistence, Cheng Shaojie was silent for a while and compromised: "It's okay, this year, let's plant some oil sunflower and green storage corn in the field with less labor, and there are big agricultural machinery at home, so you don't need too much labor."
Cheng Shaojie has been busy farming in Linshui Village and busy with the brick factory, my parents and I take care of the two children at home to go to school, Cheng Jiahui takes Li Haoyu to study, I no longer worry about Li Haoyu's homework, I mainly worry about their diet and daily life every day, as long as I don't work overtime on the rest day, I will take the two children back to Linshui Village to help, and give the family a big fish and meat to improve the food.
Life is busy and fulfilling, even if I don't love Cheng Shaojie, since I chose him as my husband, I must do my duty. I put my heart and soul into my work, I often work overtime during the high incidence of cases, and my spare time is filled with the complicated daily life, and I always feel that there is not enough time, I no longer have the leisure to think about him, and I no longer have the kind of heartache that often hits me.
I don't look back anymore, I just keep moving forward, and that's what I want. Only I know how I feel, and no one else understands it, they don't understand the heart-wrenching pain I've been suffering for the past year, so they don't understand the peace that this marriage brings to me that no one can understand
