Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Road Encounters
"Sister-in-law, that can't be, my mother has seen chicken cubs all her life, I can't say that all of them are accurate, and it is impossible to produce so many roosters, and there are not eight roosters in this whole tunzi, why do you have so many chickens in your family?"
The smiling face of the foreigner who sells chicken cubs in the spring is now squeezing out the bitter water, this old lady is a bad account at a glance, and he can't quarrel with her, but he can't admit that he is unlucky and doesn't give money with her, or he can't collect the account behind him!
"How do I know? That's all for my house anyway! Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law had a stalk on her neck, indicating that she didn't give it to death.
"Then, let's go to your house and have a look, I know the chicken cubs I sold! It's all my mother's and my daughter-in-law's eggs, if it's really my chicken, I won't charge a penny! ”
"You look down on people?!" Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law leaned in front of the strangers with her big breasts, "If other people don't look at it, why should you go to my house to see it?" What are you doing to bully no one in my family? ”
The stranger was so frightened that he ran away, if she was to rely on it, it would not be a matter of a few chickens, and when the time came, if he played a hooligan, then he would have to go to prison!
The standard of conviction for hooliganism in this era is very strange, as long as a woman can open her reputation and not denounce it, and a man cannot produce evidence that he did not play hooliganism, then he will be convicted. Hooliganism was a felony at this time, and everyone who caught up with the policy was shot.
"Sister-in-law, you, don't come here!" The stranger was so frightened that he couldn't help but step back, mixing garlic under his feet, "I won't take your money, I won't accept it." ”
"Aunt Yonggui, don't you still have two hens, give them a little more, and you can do your business again next year."
"That's it, you can still kill the rooster and eat meat! It's not a loss. ”
"Why don't you get another one with my family, I want to hold a few nests of chickens next spring, and I'm short of roosters."
The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, and it was not good to say that she was bullying people in front of outsiders, so they could only persuade them vaguely.
"What money! It's good that I didn't let him lose money! Which of you has a good heart, give me a few hens for nothing! I'm going to give him the money for the chicks one by one! Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law crossed her waist and proudly held up her big breasts, saying ruthlessly, but in fact, she had no confidence.
She also knew that her trick was to bully outsiders, but in fact, no one could fool her. also knows that everyone is paying attention to her behind her back, and she is so awkward in her heart that she can't do it. But saving ten chickens can buy a stack of exercise books for her youngest son. For the sake of her son, she can give up any face.
Everyone is no longer persuasive, such a nonsense rammer, it would be good to be a stinky shit stinky to her!
The foreigners then collected money according to his small book, and the people in the tunzi didn't care about Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law. Her eyes flashed, and the flesh on her face shook a few times.
Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law was about to go home, and she saw the Zhou Yang brothers walking over.
"Two little dead cubs, what are you going to see!" Seeing the two Zhou Yang brothers, Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law immediately hit the chicken's blood, her voice was louder than just now, and she came at them violently.
The Zhou Yang brothers were stunned, they walked well, they didn't even have the heart to watch the excitement, and they didn't have any grudges or grudges with her, why did they come to them?
Zhou Yang subconsciously hugged his sister in his arms, blocking his younger brother who was also confused with him.
Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law didn't give the two children time to react at all, and scolded like a cannon: "A little cub with a bad belly!" What are you looking at me?! Don't think I don't know, you don't have anything good in your family! It's all bad breathable bad embryos! That Zhou Juan of yours is even more of a thing that doesn't accumulate virtue! She has to repay the next generation for her lack of morality! She can't give birth to a son in her life! She doesn't have that virtue, and she can't enjoy such a blessing from the earth! ”
The Zhou Yang brothers were completely confused, what did this person want to do?
They don't understand, someone understands.
Aunt Liu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, came over and pulled Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law, relying on her age, she and Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law have been neighbors for many years, and persuaded: "Okay, it's quite a big person, don't be embarrassed for the two children." These two are good boys, benevolent, righteous, and diligent, who doesn't boast about them in the tunzi. ”
"It's just, what's the matter, how pitiful these two children are."
"Yoko, what are you two doing here? It's okay to leave, don't stand outside in the cold. ”
The onlookers also helped Mrs. Liu persuade her.
"I didn't say this, people understand that people have already seen it for her, and her Zhou Juan's little blessing of giving birth to a son has ruined her, and she has no life!" Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law still grasped the fact that Zhou Juan did not accumulate virtue and could not give birth to a son, and repeatedly emphasized it.
At this time, it was necessary to be criticized for engaging in feudal superstition, but it could not help the accumulated habits of thousands of years, and it was not yet the time when the policy was at its tightest, so there were still people secretly and secretly drumming in the countryside. But they didn't dare to say it, and everyone called witches and gods "understanding people" when they chatted in private.
"Then what did you understand say about your Liu Xiurong? You can have a lot of sons, right? Zhou Chen immediately understood, and asked Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law with a smile.
Zhou Yang listened to the two sentences that Zhou Chen explained in his ear, and he also understood, and his face was suddenly full of helplessness.
There was a burst of laughter from the people who watched the excitement. Everyone knows what Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law is about, and now she has been pointed out by a child, see how she is pretending.
Liu Xiurong of Liu Yonggui's family wanted to marry Xu Weiguo, so she looked forward to a good life of eating meat and riding a bicycle every day, but she was not as good-looking as Zhou Juan, and Xu Weiguo couldn't look down on her.
Two years ago, Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law also asked someone to deliver a message to the Xu family, saying that they could be less important in the bride price, but the Xu family didn't care about the bride price at all, and still ignored them.
Seeing that Xu Weiguo and Zhou Juan are already getting married, and their family is about to give up, God opened his eyes, and there was such a thing in the Zhou family!
Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law felt that their opportunity had come, so she hurriedly took a basket of eggs and five yuan to find Mandashen. She had already inquired about it, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family had asked the god to give her a fate, saying that she could give birth to a son, so she was not forced to divorce. This old Xu family is full of great gods!
Mandashen, the "person who understands", really understands very well, and in a few words, he understands the meaning of Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law, pinching his fingers and calculating, Liu Xiurong has many sons, Wangfu! Zhou Juan? Zhou Juan doesn't accumulate virtue, her blessings have been tossed by her, and she can't give birth to a son!
Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law was satisfied, and she was anxious to publicize this matter as soon as possible. Let her find someone by herself and say directly, that's too cheap.
Everyone knows that she has taken a fancy to Xu Weiguo, the son-in-law, and she has to hold some identity before she can put on the score of her mother-in-law in the future.
So the Zhou Yang brothers hit the muzzle of the gun.
The things that should be said have been said, Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law doesn't plan to be embarrassed here anymore, she is not stupid, how can she not know that everyone is watching her jokes.
Jokes are jokes, it's a good thing to find a good son-in-law for your daughter to enjoy a lifetime of happiness, and she is so old when she is so old, what do you care about that!
It seems that we have to find someone to deliver a message to the Xu family about this matter, otherwise it will be passed on like this, and don't spread it again.
Liu Yonggui's daughter-in-law left, and the Zhou Yang brothers also went to Nanshan.
Zhou Wanwan sneered in Zhou Yang's arms, Zhou Juan still wants to have a son in this life? Dream on!
She has thought about it in the past two days, and she has to let Zhou Juan and a few people heal from her injuries first.
Zhou Wanwan is not crazy, Zhou Juan, Zhou Hongying and Zhou Xia's injuries must be healed. And it has to be kept healthy, without any traces of it.
Only in this way did Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen not have to carry the injuries or cripple their reputations, and Zhou Wanwan would not allow others to mention the Zhou Yang brothers as soon as they saw the scars or disabilities on these people in the future life. Therefore, the injuries of these people must be healed quickly, and no trace can be left.
Zhou Wanwan did not allow her brother to have any kind of contact with these people, and she was not even comfortable being put together to say that she was uncomfortable.
After healing their injuries, it's time for them to pay the price.
Cherish this period of recuperation, maybe this is the last peace in their lives!
When the three siblings came to Nanshan, the direction leading to the cemetery was trampled out of a path by the people who came to pay their respects. The dry branches blown by the cold wind made a whining and whimpering sound, the sky was gray, and the three brothers and sisters stood in front of Li Xiuhua's tomb, with mixed feelings in their hearts, but there was no cold, just because this was the closest place to their mother.
Zhou Yang took off the old cotton jacket outside and spread it on the snow, put his sister on it, and asked her to follow her two brothers to kowtow to her mother three times in a dignified manner.
Mom, I've brought my younger siblings to see you.
The snow from the trees fell on them, but the three children were unaware. They were all focused on speaking this to their mother in their hearts.
Zhou Wanwan didn't know what the two brothers were talking to their mother, she only whispered to her mother in her heart about some of the daily trivialities of the three brothers and sisters.
Big brother's cotton pants are five centimeters shorter this year, and he grows really fast!
The second brother combs me with different pigtails every day, who did you learn from? Did Mom teach him? Such a clever and thoughtful second brother, did my mother really want him to be a sister?
I ate again this morning, and my eldest brother and second brother always felt that I was not full, and every time I said no, they would touch my little belly, woo, my belly was bulging, and I was holding it...... Will I be raised to be a little fat man when I grow up......
……
What will the youngest daughter say to her mother? Zhou Wanwan had never had such an experience in her previous life and this life, so she only communicated with her mother according to her heart's desire.
That kind of intimate and coquettish confiding made her heart slowly warm and steady, and she felt so close to her mother......
In the end, Zhou Yang burned the words written by the three brothers and sisters to Li Xiuhua.
Zhou Wanwan read while chanting: "The writing is a little ugly, and I will definitely write better next time." ”
Zhou Chen patted his sister's soft little curly hair to comfort her: "Nan Nan's writing is already very good." ”
"Well," Zhou Wanwan nodded seriously, "I'm still a little doll, of course I write well, I told my mother that you write ugly." ”
Zhou Chen smiled angrily, "Do you know what modesty is?" ”
Zhou Wanwan shook her head seriously, "I don't know." Big brother hasn't taught me yet! ”
Zhou Yang was amused by his younger siblings and laughed. When my mother sees such younger brothers and sisters, she will be like him, smiling when she sleeps.
The sky was still gray, the wind was blowing, fine snow particles were falling, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
On the way back from Nanshan, the mood of the three brothers and sisters was not affected by the weather at all, and it was very warm and bright. Walking to a turn not far from Tunzi, Second Aunt Liu and Second Uncle Liu were waiting for them there.
Second Uncle Liu glanced at the three children, went to the side to look at the wind without speaking, and hurriedly told Second Aunt Liu before leaving: "Hurry up!" ”
Aunt Liu walked over to the three brothers and sisters, looked left and right to make sure that no one took out a cloth bag from her arms, and quickly stuffed it into Zhou Chen's hand. The cloth bag was still warm, with Aunt Liu's body temperature, and it should be something to eat.
"Good boy, take it and eat it!" Aunt Liu's eyes were red, "Your mother died unjustly......"
"Don't talk about those useless things!" Second Uncle Liu hurriedly interrupted Second Aunt Liu's words, "Can the government do things wrong?" Have you had enough of a good life? ”
Second Aunt Liu closed her mouth nervously and looked at the three children with pity, "I heard my old lady say that you have passed here, and I have been waiting for you here with your uncle for a long time, so I want to see you...... You have a good life, the second aunt can't help you, I wanted to go and see you, but your second uncle said that your milk is going to be detained, and we poor middle peasants have to completely cut off relations with bad families......"
"Let's go!" Second Uncle Liu still refused to look at the three children, and blindly urged Second Aunt Liu to leave, "The things have also been delivered, what do you still want?" We still have a family! ”
Second Aunt Liu's eyes were red and she followed Second Uncle Liu to the path.
Zhou Yang pursed his lips and took his younger siblings back to Tunzi from another way.
"Second Aunt Liu and our mother's family are the same tunzi." Zhou Yang thought about it and told his younger brothers and sisters, "It's good for them to be young, and they married our tunzi together, which was good before." ”
"What's good?" Zhou Chen disagreed, "I haven't seen her come to our house since my mother left." ”
"Second Uncle Liu said that our mother is individualistic, and I am afraid that Second Aunt Liu will be affected, so I won't let her come." Even if he usually works in the production team, Second Uncle Liu, who used to take good care of him, has refused to say a word to him for more than a year......
But it's better not to let your younger brothers and sisters know, they are too young, and they don't understand some things, in fact, Second Uncle Liu is not bad, but some admit death and are timid.
Zhou Chen was silent, he either didn't know why, or he was upset for his mother. Why the is such a good person, why does he carry such a reputation? Why should those people look down on her?
When the three brothers and sisters returned to Zhou's house, the courtyard was quiet, and it didn't look like a wedding at all.
Walking into the house, the kitchen was full of fog, and it was almost impossible to see people's faces, Wang Fengying took Zhou Xia and Zhou Ling to work by the pot, and Shen Yufen stood with a big belly and cut sauerkraut. (To be continued.) )
