Chapter 12: A baby boy in the womb
Early the next morning, Li Xiaoli went to the vegetable market to buy some side dishes, prepared some pastries, and took her two children to the central station to take a long-distance bus. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info bumpy all the way, after almost two hours, finally arrived at Mrs. Zhou's house.
Zhou Heping's hometown used to be the poorest in this place called Bishui Village.
But since Zhou Heping settled in H City, he sent money back from time to time, and slowly, Mrs. Zhou set herself up as an old lady who enjoyed wealth and wealth.
A few years ago, Zhou Heping and Li Xiaoli were asked to pool money to tear down the old house and rebuild a two-and-a-half-story building, with four or five rooms on the top and bottom. In such a spacious place, only Mrs. Zhou lives alone.
Whether a person's living habits are good or not directly affects her quality of life. For example, Mrs. Zhou, such a good bungalow for her to live in, she can also make the house into a kennel. There are stalls everywhere in the house, and there is almost no place to stay.
Zhou Xiaomeng remembered that after she was kicked out by Zhou Heping in her previous life, she came all the way to find Mrs. Zhou to call the shots, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to suspect that she was here to rob the house, and swept her out with a broom, and said that she would never see her again, the broom star who killed Zhou Xiaoshuai.
She looked at this place with disgust, and thought to herself, although she didn't want this house to give her, but as Li Xiaoli's marital property, she had to take half of it!
Mrs. Zhou heard someone coming, lying on her bed and wailing, "My life is miserable, I can't move if I fall and get hurt, and my daughter-in-law doesn't come to serve me, my life is miserable, instead of letting me live and suffer from my daughter-in-law's anger, old man, you might as well take me away!" ”
Li Xiaoli heard this from afar, and she was angry and remorseful.
She knew what kind of temper this old woman was, and she knew that she was going to come today, so she wouldn't hide from that lazy yesterday, so as not to be said like that.
Zhou Xiaomeng stopped Li Xiaoli, "Mom, you and your brother go to the kitchen to cook, and grandma will leave it to me." ”
She saw a few neighbors coming to see the excitement, and deliberately said in a loud voice, "I'm going to serve grandma!" ”
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoshuai also cleverly distributed the snacks he bought in the morning to the neighbors who came to watch, and said with a smiling face, "This is made by my mother, you can also taste it." ”
The so-called taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths, the neighbors originally came to see the jokes, but when they saw people and children so politely sending things to eat, the burning gossip heart was extinguished a little.
A few acquaintances took the food and left.
There were also a few kindly who went to the kitchen to report the situation secretly to Li Xiaoli, "Your mother-in-law fell at Xiaosi's house, who knows if she fell by herself or was pushed by someone, in short, Xiaosi and her man sent the old woman home and left, and they didn't even cook a meal." ”
"I heard that the little four man owed gambling debts, and the little four had no money to repay, and he was afraid that the debt collector would come to the door, so he took the old lady to borrow money, but I don't know if the money was borrowed or not, but the old lady broke it and sent it back. Peace daughter-in-law, I think you have to take care of this matter. ”
Xiao Si refers to Zhou Heping's fourth sister Zhou Juhua.
Zhou Juhua married her neighbor Lu's family, her husband's name was Lu Youcai, and she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins Lu Wen and Lu Wu, the two children are the same age as Zhou Xiaomeng, and they will be in the third year of high school after the summer vacation.
The teaching conditions in the city next door are not good, and the school of the dragon and phoenix fetus is not the focus, Zhou Juhua was afraid that the two children would not be admitted to college, so she had already hit Li Xiaoli with the idea.
Li Xiaoli's father, Li Guangping, has a house in Tianshui District, which, in fashionable parlance, is a school district house, opposite Tianshui Middle School, the best high school in H City.
The admission rate of Tianshui Middle School is very high, the second book is basically 100% of the admission rate, and the first rate is more than 60%, people say that if you can be admitted to Tianshui Middle School, it is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of the university with one foot.
Zhou Juhua planned to let the dragon and phoenix fetus move their household registration to Li Guangping's name, and then use the transfer method to transfer the two children to Tianshui Middle School, so that they could properly earn two college students.
But this plan was ruthlessly opposed by Li Xiaoli.
Li Xiaoli's reason is, "His fourth aunt, high school is no longer compulsory education, and a middle school like Tianshui lives in the area, and it has to pass exams before it can be admitted...... Moreover, it is not possible to move the household registration casually, and you have to be related to the head of the household to ......."
Li Xiaoli is of course right.
But Zhou Juhua didn't think so, she deeply felt that Li Xiaoli was afraid that the dragon and phoenix fetus would do better than her two children, so she deliberately did not let them move their household registration, hindering the future of the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Since then, Zhou Juhua has never looked at Li Xiaoli directly, and tried her best to make trouble for her.
Among the seven sisters-in-law, Li Xiaoli's biggest headache is this Zhou Chrysanthemum, which is really breathtaking. Therefore, when the neighbor said that she had to take care of this matter, her first reaction was, this matter must not be managed!
Li Xiaoli is not stupid, she has always known that the sisters-in-law pointed to Mrs. Zhou to squeeze money to spend, and where did Mrs. Zhou get the money, the left is only hers or Zhou Heping's. But the things that can be solved with money are all trivial, and she would rather suffer a little loss financially than have too much contact with these sisters-in-law.
Of course, she still appreciated the kindness of her neighbors, and fished out two portions of freshly cooked fried fish from the pot and put them in a bag, "A little gadget, if you don't dislike it, take it back and eat it." ”
How could the neighbors be disgusted, and they all happily took their things and left.
Zhou Xiaoshuai helped his mother, but he kept the words just now.
In the house, Mrs. Zhou saw that the person who came in was Zhou Xiaomeng, and her brows began to wrinkle, "Why are you here, your mother?" ”
She muttered, "I called yesterday for a day, and your mother didn't answer any of them." I thought she was going to leave me alone, yo, she still wanted fame. ”
Zhou Xiaomeng sat directly at the head of Mrs. Zhou's bed and didn't speak, looking dejected.
Mrs. Zhou was dissatisfied, "I'm not dead yet, what are you doing with a sad face?" ”
She scolded people with a lot of anger, not at all like she was uncomfortable, "You mourning star, I was fine, but I was in a bad mood when I saw you." If I die one day, it must be your crying spirit who will die of it! ”
Zhou Xiaomeng ignored her, still sighing.
This completely aroused Mrs. Zhou's curiosity, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Xiaomeng nodded and shook her head again, "No, it's not a problem." ”
She whispered, "I don't know if it's a matter yet, if I say it now, I'm afraid I'll be beaten by my father." ”
As soon as she heard that this matter was related to Zhou Heping, Mrs. Zhou became even more curious.
With the determination to break the casserole and ask to the end, her waist was straight, her legs didn't hurt anymore, and she immediately sat up from the bed, "No matter what, you tell grandma, grandma will never let your dad beat you." ”
Zhou Xiaomeng timidly asked, "Really?" ”
After getting Mrs. Zhou's assurance, she whispered, "Yesterday I went to my father's factory to find Xiao Ai, grandma, do you know Xiao Ai?" It is our teacher Shen's daughter, who also works in a machinery factory. ”
How can Mrs. Zhou know what Teacher Shen and Xiao Ai are?
Her mind was full of gossip at this time, and she nodded busily, "You go on." ”
Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes lowered, "I heard someone in the factory gossip about Dad, saying that he had a leg with the new secretary named Zhang Qian, and they also said ......"
The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but her tone was full of grievances, "They also said that Zhang Qian already has her father's baby in her belly, and she is still a boy!" ”
