Chapter 33: Innuendo
Afterwards, Wang Xiang said that Zhang Ping didn't go over to eat dumplings, so he went home with the package, and when Wang Xiang was sent away, Sun Zhi entered the house, saw his daughter sitting on the kang in a daze, and thought about it for a while and sat next to his daughter.
"Xiaoping, I don't think Li Tiezhu is good, and he is engaged to Erchun again, it's better to forget it, there are many good guys in this commune, and Mom will let your father pick a good one for you when she arrives." Just on the condition of his daughter, it is a pick.
Zhang Ping lowered her head, "Mom, I just fell in love with Li Tiezhu, he is as stupid as wood and I also fell in love with him, and I can't look down on others when they are good." ”
"You said you kid." Sun Zhi listened to his daughter's words, and did not persuade him more, and then looked at his daughter's depressed appearance, and comforted his daughter with a good sound, "I think Wang Xiang doesn't like Erchun either, Erchun is so big, his family didn't mention the marriage between the two, I'm afraid this marriage is going to be yellow." ”
"Who knows." Zhang Ping said absentmindedly.
In the past, she was confident that she would be yellow, but now she has no confidence, Erchun has changed a lot, especially the change in her attitude towards Li Tiezhu, and the tantrum of disgust when she heard Li Tiezhu like before, Zhang Ping is very worried about such a change.
Seeing that her daughter didn't want to say more, Sun Zhi didn't speak again.
On Zhang's side, Erchun sent Zhang Ping away, so he went to the outhouse, put the curtain in the pot and added water, steamed the cakes and vegetables made at noon, and added a fire to the stove pit, and a few firewood pots were opened.
Erchun washed his hands and said to Westinghouse, "Put it in a pot and heat it, make it yourself." ”
Hearing Li Yanhong's answer, Er Chun turned around and entered the house, rummaged through the cabinet, found his cyan pants and red sweater, measured them on his body, and then put them on.
When the old man Zhang came back, it was dark, and he heard that the Li family made dumplings and asked them to come over to eat, the old man Zhang smiled and said okay, and asked Li Yanhong what to do with the rice, and heard his granddaughter say that it was all hot, so he went to the backyard to tie the cow on.
When the yard was quiet, Li Yanhong got up from the kang, the house was dark and the lights were not turned on, he looked out the window alone, and there was movement in his ears It was also a dog barking from time to time in the village, in the army for so many years, he was an orphan and grew up begging for food, Li Yanhong never knew what loneliness was, but at this moment he felt inexplicably lonely.
Thinking back to hearing Erchun say in the afternoon, I liked Li Tiezhu's wood, and I couldn't tell what was wrong with it, so I felt stuffy, I had fought big and small battles, shed so much blood, and didn't feel uncomfortable.
This lay down until dark, Li Yanhong felt that his chest was not smooth, so he got off the kang and went to the outhouse to open the pot to see, and saw the hot cakes and vegetables inside.
"He's grandma's, it's weird." Li Yanhong cursed, and he didn't figure out what was going on, but he had always been like this, and he directly brought out the food to eat.
I didn't think much about it.
On the Li family's side, the dumplings had already been wrapped, Wang Xiang saw that the grandfather and grandson of the Zhang family did not come over, and took a look at the door of the outhouse for a while.
Li De sat on the edge of the kang and smoked a dry cigarette, and when he saw that his woman finally quieted down, he opened his mouth, "You just can't hold your breath, this is asking people to come over for dinner, how can you be unhappy because you wait for a while." ”
Wang Xiang was full of dissatisfaction, and when she saw that her man was still talking about herself, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved, "You said the rumors in the village, she listened to it and arranged her cousin with words, I think it will be okay with this marriage." ”
"Mom..." Li De didn't speak, and Li Tiezhu inside hurriedly walked out after hearing this.
The Li family's house is a room, the outer door is the east side of the house, as soon as you come in, you are a big pot by the fire wall inside, the north wall on the opposite side is placed with rice noodles and the like, and the north side connected to the fire wall is the door of the inner and outer houses, as soon as you come in, there is a big kang next to the window in the south, and the wall is connected to the door to the west, and it is a hut to enter, and there is also a south wall inside.
Li Tiezhu himself lived in it, and the outhouse was lived by Li De and his wife.
Wang Xiang saw her son's anxious look, so she was angry, "Look, I'm just saying that you're in a hurry, and when you really bring people in, I said to her, you still have to recognize me as a mother?" ”
Li Tiezhu's face flushed, and he didn't dare to refute a word, so he blushed and pestle there.
Li De knocked the dry tobacco pouch on the edge of the kang, and looked at his mother-in-law unhappily, "What are you talking about, Tie Zhu cares about Erchun, this is a good thing, in the future, the two of them will get married and live, does he care about his mother-in-law, can he live this day?" You see, I don't care about you. ”
Wang Xiang's face flushed, "What are you talking nonsense in front of the child." ”
In the end, there was no more son.
And there was movement in the courtyard, and Li De and Wang Xiang greeted them out.
"It's cold, get inside." As soon as Li De went out, he greeted people with a smile, and called his wife next to him, "Hurry up and cook dumplings with Erchun." My uncle and I drank first. ”
Wang Xiang responded with a smile, affectionately took Erchun's hand and followed him into the house, "Are you hungry?" The water has already boiled, and a few handfuls of fire dumplings can get out of the house. ”
Yes, does this mean something?
Erchun didn't, "Let my aunt wait." ”
There was no mention of Grandpa's late return.
Erchun understands that finding reasons and excuses will only make Aunt Li dislike herself even more.
Wang Xiang saw that Erchun was not as impatient as in the past, and she could still talk to herself, so she glanced at her, thinking that there was no elder to teach her, if she was really so open-minded, she would be able to accept it in her heart when she got married.
The men were drinking and talking in the house, I don't know what they said, anyway, the laughter came to the outhouse from time to time, and it was originally Erchun burning the fire in the outhouse, but Li Tiezhu squeezed over to help, Erchun said that there was no need to be partial to Li Tiezhu and didn't leave, so he squatted there to hand firewood to Erchun, and Erchun didn't need to look up to know how hot Aunt Li's gaze was on his head.
This is truly a disaster.
Fortunately, the dumplings were cooked quickly, and the plates of dumplings were served, and then they sat down to eat, Erchun and Wang Xiang sat on one side, Li Tiezhu sat in the kang, on one side was the old man Zhang, and on the other side was Erchun, and Wang Xiang and his own man sat opposite, just outside.
