Chapter 243 The Shen Family
Zhou Xiaoan's home is completely different from when she first moved in, after these days the few of them have slowly improved, the furniture is neat, the flowers and trees are sparse, and it has slowly approached the appearance of home in her mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Yunkai hesitated at the door of the living room, although the room was just an ordinary cement floor, it was washed clean, and there was a fresh smell of vigorous plant growth in the air, as well as a faint unknown fragrance, which was the smell of Zhou Xiaoan's body, which made him a little unbearable to step into this room with shoes on.
Zhou Xiaoan had already opened the screen door of the balcony, "Gu Yunkai, please put it here." ”
Gu Yunkai took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
This big room is full of traces unique to Zhou Xiao'an, and on the north side is a large wooden four-leaf screen, on which is painted a chubby pink pig wearing red short-sleeved yellow shorts, and a cute bear with short limbs and a lot of fine curly hair on his head but has a serious face.
The two little animals are either sleeping with snot bubbles, frowning and doing their homework, or rolling on the grass and playing, very cute and lively.
Underneath is also written in a cute round font "Little Potato and Xiaoquan's Daily".
On the desk by the window, there is a plantain with a large black glazed bowl, the leaves are thick and green, the flower spikes are very stout, and a layer of white fine stones is paved underneath.
There are a few neat flower stands on the balcony, but the flowers and plants are not yet large-scale, only two freshly transplanted freesia plants and a pothos vine that has just emerged.
Gu Yunkai's thorn rose and mint grass were put on the table, and they compared the thin little guys.
Gu Yunkai was very satisfied with this effect, and discussed with Zhou Xiao'an, "I'll send you two pomegranate trees in two days, the kind of landscape pomegranates raised in big pots, your balcony is big enough to be raised very well." ”
Zhou Xiaoan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Then I will invite you to eat Sichuan food, and you will go with us." You'll be there when my uncle comes back from a meeting in the provincial military district, right? ”
Of course, Gu Yunkai will be there, even if he returns to the army a few days late, he will let himself be there.
"Lao Zhou and Xiao Linzi are not in Peizhou, if you have something, look for me." Gu Yunkai left the phone number he had written long ago to Zhou Xiaoan.
The neighbors at the door were walking around very lively, and there were also the little heads of children poking in from time to time, Gu Yunkai had to leave if he wanted to stay a little longer.
As soon as Gu Yunkai was sent downstairs, Xiao Fang's mother on the first floor grabbed Zhou Xiaoan, "Xiao Zhou, is that your uncle's comrade-in-arms?" It's an officer, right? What kind of officer is in the army? Is there a target? Your uncle knows a lot of officers, you give our family Xiaofang an attention, and there is a suitable one to introduce to you! ”
Zhou Xiaoan nodded seriously, "Aunt Liu, I don't have much contact with my uncle's comrades-in-arms, when my uncle comes back, you can tell him what Xiaofang wants to find, and let my uncle help you introduce one." ”
Xiao Fang's mother's enthusiasm disappeared more than half of it at once, and her face turned cold, "Xiao Zhou, look at you, anyway, you can't marry the People's Liberation Army as a divorced person, so introduce us to Xiao Fang what can you do, and it's not the object of robbing you, so what are you doing to protect food!" ”
Zhou Xiao'an felt that she couldn't keep up with Xiaofang's mother's train of thought, and she didn't think of what to say, so Sister Ning called her at the staircase, "Xiao'an, come here, I have something to do with you." ”
Zhou Xiaoan hurriedly ran over and quarreled with her mother who hated to marry her daughter, which was really not something she could handle.
Sister Ning didn't care about that, she "talked to herself" in a voice that could be heard in half a building, "Xiao An just can't find a People's Liberation Army, and the People's Liberation Army is not something that anyone can worry about!" What pot with what lid! Can an officer find a temporary worker who can't read big characters? ”
Xiaofang is 28 years old this year and is a temporary worker in the logistics department of the steel mill.
A few years ago, the younger brothers and sisters in the family had a heavy burden, and Xiaofang's mother didn't let her marry early, but now that she is about to reach thirty, she is anxious to get married, and it is not easy to find a partner.
The key is that Xiaofang's mother has a high vision, and she feels that she has wronged her eldest daughter over the years, and wants to find her a good job, a good family, and a promising person.
"Why should such a good young man find an old girl? If you delay like this, you'll really be left at home! Aunt Zhang responded loudly to Sister Ning while pasting bran dumplings into the pot.
Xiaofang's mother usually has a broken mouth, and she has a lot of dirty problems with her neighbors, and the hearty Sister Ning and the quick-tempered Aunt Zhang have a bad relationship with her.
Here on the second floor, Xiaofang's mother is crusading, and she has already quarreled with someone on the first floor.
Zhou Xiaoan and Sister Ning's eight-year-old Ning Ning and six-year-old had just poked their heads out of the stairs to watch the excitement, and Xiaofang's mother was being scolded by a tall old man and was so bloodied that she was powerless.
Ning Ning explained to Zhou Xiao'an, "Xiaofang's mother just led the stove to Lao Shen Tou's house to borrow a fire, and Lao Shen Tou said that she shoveled away half of the freshly burned honeycomb coal and asked her to accompany her." ”
Old Shen Tou? There is a family surnamed Shen in the whole building, it is Shen Mei's family who moved in two days ago, and the old man is Shen Mei's grandfather? Was he discharged?
Shen Mei and her mother moved into a small building two days ago and lived in Pan Mingyuan's former room.
Zhou Xiao'an entered that room for the first time in a bright light, and he was already a person.
The floor and walls of the room are freshly smoothed, "I used to live with the grandson of the big capitalist Pan family, who was an enemy element, and when people ran away, the police cut the walls and the ground when they came to search." ”
Pan Mingyuan's room is an independent office without a partition in the middle, about 30 square meters, Zhou Xiaoan has been there several times since Shen Mei's mother and daughter moved in.
The house was very clean, with two partitions separating two bedrooms and a small living room, one of which was intended to be lived with Grandpa Shen after he was discharged from the hospital.
"My grandfather can't live in Mayor Shen's house anymore, and he fights with the mayor's wife every day, and the last time he was hospitalized was because of this.
The mayor's wife was pregnant, he made people dizzy, and he pretended to be dizzy, so he didn't stop because he was hospitalized and let Mayor Shen clean up his unfilial daughter-in-law.
My grandfather lived in the courtyard for a month and didn't expect the mayor's wife to kneel and kowtow to him, and he was angry to move out of the mayor's house, and my mother and I had to come and wait. ”
Shen Mei had already told Zhou Xiao'an about her family, in a very sarcastic tone, "When I was not liberated, my mother and grandparents were farmers in the liberated area, and my mother farmed alone to feed our whole family. ”
"After liberation, Shen Weiguo transferred to the local government, and rose all the way to Director Shen, took my grandparents to fulfill their filial piety, and still didn't let go of me and my mother.
My grandparents are not used to eating other people's cooking, and my mother has to work as a nanny with her, serving Director Shen and her new wife, and even washing the underwear of the director's wife. ”
"Later, when I grew up and couldn't look at it, I fought with the director's wife, her girl, and her son, and she couldn't stand me anymore, so she asked Director Shen to sweep our mother and daughter out of the house, and our mother and daughter only had a few days of peaceful life."
"But my grandparents still summoned my mother to serve them every now and then, and I was angry and transferred my mother to Peizhou, but I didn't expect Shen Hall to become Mayor Shen, and the ghost followed!"
"No, my dad didn't get along well with the mayor's wife, and for the sake of the piece of meat in her stomach, he pushed my grandparents to us again! He also took it upon himself to change us to a bigger house! It's as if he takes care of our mother and daughter! ”
"According to my temper, just kick them out! My mom is in her forties, and her hair is whiter than my grandparents! She will be ruined in their old Shen family in this life! At such an age, I still have to bring my grandfather foot washing water and my grandmother to wash the foot cloth! ”
"But my mother didn't go with me, saying that she would stay and serve my grandparents! If I leave her behind, she will have to let the old Shen family die in less than a year!
In her life, she has no other ideas than making cows and horses for the old Shen family. Serve them like this, and if a meal is not appetizing, my grandfather can put the rice bowl on her face......"
……
After listening to Shen Mei's narration, Zhou Xiaoan didn't have a good impression of Old Man Shen when he saw it again.
Watching him point at Xiaofang's mother and ask for half a briquette, I felt that he was worse than Xiaofang's mother, who had a broken mouth.
However, no matter how Zhou Xiaoan looked at it, he felt that Old Man Zhou's figure was familiar, and he couldn't ignore that familiar feeling.
Although he is in his sixties and his body has begun to ricket, the shadow of his tall and tall legs when he was young is still there, which makes Zhou Xiaoan feel the same as he has seen there.
