35. Nothing matters
The next day, Cheng Linghui returned home with two elderly people who were a little disappointed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, with the freshness of playing these days, my mother is not as sad as Xiuwen and the others were when they first left. Along the way, the three of them talked with each other. The return trip is faster than the time when you go.
I set off in the morning and arrived at the door of the house at noon. When I parked the car, I saw that everyone was a little confused. Why is the door open?
At this time, the fifth aunt behind the room happened to come out. Seeing them laughing, "You're back." Go and see who's back! "The women in the village are very loud. It has already alarmed the people in the house. I saw a man in his fifties running out of the yard and seeing his grandmother still sitting on the ox cart. called: "Mother." "Plop fell to his knees.
Grandma's tears flowed down at once. Sitting on the ox cart, he cried: "God has eyes, I'm back......" The mother followed with a low sob. Cheng Linghui couldn't help but redden, and knelt down beside his father: "Dad, you are back." ”
The family just hugged their heads and cried. No one paid attention to a woman in her thirties who followed her father out of the gate. The woman was also holding a boy about the same age as Cheng Su in her hand. At this moment, the boy was staring at the eyes that were five or six points similar to Cheng Linghui, looking curiously at the person who was crying.
Cheng Linghui also paid attention to these two people for a long time after entering the house. Some people looked at their father for some unknown reasons. The father pulled the boy a little crampedly and said, "Gen'er, kowtow to your grandmother." ”
Grandma was stunned for a moment. The mother's face turned white and she looked at her father in disbelief. Father looked away from her.
The boy obediently kowtowed to his grandmother. Grandma hurriedly said, "Wait a while." Don't be busy knocking on your head first. What's going on, you can make it clear first. ”
It turned out that my father was injured in his first year as a soldier. Then he was taken in by a blacksmith. He has been recuperating from his injuries at the blacksmith's house. The blacksmith had an old girl in her twenties. I don't know how to fall in love with my father. The battle was not over, and my father did not dare to go home after his injuries were healed. Just stayed there. This old girl was the woman standing behind him now. And this boy is the son of the two.
Grandma listened to the truth and didn't speak. It is not uncommon for a man to marry a second room. Moreover, from her heart, she is still very willing to see her father have a son. Just thinking of my mother's dedication at home for so many years. She felt in her heart that if she recognized this grandson so easily, she would be really sorry for her mother.
Cheng Linghui's heart was shocked. She never thought that her father would marry another one day, let alone have such a big son.
The mother is already crumbling. The biggest heart problem in her life is that she didn't give birth to a son. Seeing such a scene now, the pain in my heart can be imagined. But she couldn't cry.
Cheng Linghui hugged her mother's body worriedly, only to feel that her mother's whole body was stiff. It took a while to ease up. She pushed Cheng Linghui away, walked to her grandmother and knelt down. said: "Mother." The Cheng family finally has a queen. That's a good thing. You can recognize their mother and son. ”
In an instant, Cheng Linghui was as if she was hit by five thunders. I just feel that the mother in front of me is so strange. How could she say something like that? Isn't this pushing my father out with my own hands?
After a long time, grandma sighed: "Daughter-in-law, the old Cheng family is sorry for you!" ”
The mother's tears flowed down at this time, but she forced out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Mother, it's useless." I didn't even give birth to a male grandchild. ”
Things have come to this point, and it is not Cheng Linghui's willpower that can be influenced. The old girl took her son and kowtowed to her grandmother and to her mother. Even if it's officially in the door. Let's call her 'Erniang'.
From the perspective of Cheng Linghui's experience of going south and north. This Erniang doesn't want to be like her mother, she is a soft and glutinous character. This is the first time I have suppressed myself. Just look at her eyes as if she has a blade, and she knows that she is a powerful person. After a long time, if she didn't eat her mother to the bones, Cheng Linghui would feel that she was blind.
Sure enough, after only three days of virtuousness, he pushed all the chores in the family to his mother. You know, my mother's eyes have been crying since the death of my eldest sister. It's okay to do other work, my mother is a diligent person, and her hands and feet can't be idle. However, cooking is not possible.
Later, when the Cheng Linghui sisters grew up, they were even more reluctant to let her do these fire-burning work. Cheng Linghui felt that it was necessary to let Erniang know who was in charge of this family.
She didn't say a word, and poured all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home into the dung pit. Then sit down at the table and wait for the meal to begin.
I have to say that Erniang still has some eyes. will ask for credit in front of grandma. As soon as my father returned. The mother automatically returned to the stove room to eat. Erniang rushed to help her serve food, and she felt grateful in her heart. I didn't know that people were robbing her of her hard cooking. In and out of the words, I have to squeeze Cheng Linghui, an old girl who only knows how to sit and eat, and can't get married. Her son was also in his true form, grimacing at Cheng Linghui.
If Cheng Linghui is really an ignorant daughter's family, I'm afraid she will be really angry. But she traveled north and south, and she was also well-informed. She doesn't care about the mother and son's tricks. What saddened her was the attitude of her grandmother and father.
Grandma has always been partial to Cheng Linghui, but in just a few days, her heart has been hung on that little child. was coaxed by a few kind words from Erniang, and gave Erniang all the things at the bottom of the box not to say, and turned a blind eye to the various pretendencies of the two mothers. still scolds Cheng Linghui all the time, disgusted that Cheng Linghui doesn't love this only brother enough.
And my father was not happy when he saw Cheng Linghui at the first sight. I dislike that she doesn't look like a girl. I don't want to think about it, if Cheng Linghui looks like a delicate lady, where did she come from this blue brick house now, where did she come from this home?
In fact, Cheng Linghui looks not bad. Big eyes, double eyelids, straight nose, thin lips. Tall, well-proportioned. If you put on a skirt and bring flowers. It's hard to find such a handsome girl in ten miles and eight towns. But she grew up like a boy since she was a child. When I grew up, I had to carry the whole family. Gestures, temperament and charm are completely a big man. It's a sight to behold.
After breakfast, her mother came to Cheng Linghui and told her that all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home were all used up. Let her buy some. It has become a habit for her to rely on Cheng Linghui for so many years. and her husband are a little rusty.
Cheng Linghui understands her mother. She was a kind and cowardly woman. I only know how to pay all my life, and I don't know how to strive for returns. She smiled and told her mother that she knew. I went to the fifth master for a morning, and I didn't buy it at all.
When she came home at noon, her mother asked her, and she pretended to forget. Her mother couldn't do anything about her.
I only ate two meals of rice that lacked oil and salt, and the fart kid stopped doing it. clamoring to go home and eat meat. Now the grandmother panicked and tried her best to coax the child. The father was also angry, and when he went to the stove room, he scolded his mother: "How can you cook? ”
Erniang followed the fake and cried while pulling her father: "I know that my sister felt uncomfortable when she saw me at first glance. It will be fine in a few days. What will you do with us sisters in the future? ”
The mother snorted: "I don't have a ......" The voice was so small that it was completely covered by Erniang's cry.
The father was angry, pointed at his mother and scolded: "Li, why don't I know that you are so careful and so intolerant?" Are you satisfied after I have failed? ”
The mother was frightened, trembling and crying: "I don't have ...... I didn't have ......."
Cheng Linghui hugged her mother, looked at her father and said, "What can't you say?" Are you afraid that the neighbors won't come to see the joke? ”
The father was still angry: "You mother and son don't have any good things. ”
Cheng Linghui was sad in her heart, but she smiled on her face: "As the saying goes, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die. My father said something to me, so naturally I didn't dare to be a little dissatisfied. But then again, killing people is not a no-brainer. Dad, what did my mother do to provoke you? Let's make it clear. It's all a family, so as not to have a disagreement. ”
The father held back for a moment and shouted, "Ask your mother." ”
Cheng Linghui said: "You look at my mother like this, can you still speak?" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Erniang: "Or, Erniang, you can talk about it for my mother?" ”
Erniang said: "What did the eldest sister do, how do I know?" ”
Cheng Linghui smiled: "This is interesting. You don't even know what my mother did, how do you know that my mother feels bad when she sees you? ”
Erniang was speechless, and turned to her father: "Look at Sanhuizi, how did you talk to me?" I'm also her elder. ”
's father wanted to scold Cheng Linghui again, but Cheng Linghui raised his hand: "Slow." He looked at his father and said, "Dad, I'm here, and I can't run." When you want to hit and scold, it's all ready-made. Let's talk about how my mother provoked you first. ”
The father blushed and said, "Didn't you eat that meal?" Is the lack of oil and salt ready to feed pigs? Our family is so poor? ”
Cheng Linghui said: "My mother told me in the morning that all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were all used up. I forgot to tell my father about you. Is this also worth the rush? ”
The father said, "You know in the morning, why don't you buy it?" ”
"Daddy." Cheng Linghui waited for this, and said: "You are back now, you should be in charge." No matter how bad it is, there is still my brother. It's my turn to go shopping with a big girl's house? ”
Father has always disliked Cheng Linghui and doesn't look like a girl. was immediately choked by Cheng Linghui's question. glared at Cheng Linghui and turned to leave. Cheng Linghui hugged her mother and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, there's me." It took a while for my mother to stop trembling. However, in the evening, he developed a high fever. Cheng Linghui couldn't care about competing with her father and Erniang. Put on your clothes and go to the barefoot doctor in the village.
After a night of tossing, my mother's fever subsided. Cheng Linghui looked at her mother's haggard face in her sleep, and suddenly felt disheartened. I don't think anything matters anymore. As long as the mother is good.
