Chapter 112: Mother and Son
Mrs. Zhou didn't mention the money, she first took Zhou Chunliang's hand and cried. Mother has not been alive for a few days, but I don't worry about a few of you. If you marry a daughter-in-law, you will be regarded as a family of Quanquan and Hedi in the future, and you can close your eyes when your mother dies. Mother can give up anything for you. Now my mother has a bad reputation for your eldest brother, and my mother has nothing to say, but I'm afraid that it will affect you, if it's because of the bad composition of our family, it delays you, and you will be singled in the future, and your mother will die......
After saying this, not only Zhou Chunliang, but also Zhou Chunxi and Zhou Chunlai were also moved to the point that their eyes were red. Mother thinks about them all the time! I suffered from that old sin, and I still think about my son, my mother's hard work......
Mrs. Zhou cried fiercely with her three sons, and Zhou Hongying, who was recuperating at home and never dared to go out again, also cried beside her, and the Zhou family cried for a while.
Mrs. Zhou finally stopped her tears and stared at Zhou Chunfa: "Boss, it's not difficult for your mother, my mother can give up anything for you, but she can't affect your brother." You, who are the big brother, can't ignore him at this time. ”
"What can I do ......" Zhou Chunfa was looked at by Mrs. Zhou.
"You don't have to worry about it, my mother will be eccentric for a while, your third brother doesn't have a daughter-in-law, you are the eldest brother, why can't you watch him beat a bachelor! Now that some people don't dislike our family's poor composition and bad reputation, and are willing to marry in, we have to hurry up and end this marriage for your third brother. Now it's the bride price, you can think of a way! ”
'Our family owes a lot of debt, what can I do!' Zhou Chunfa was anxious when he heard it, he couldn't think about it, he was still short of money and so short that he picked his fingers!
"There are tricks and no tricks, you know. Your third brother can't marry a daughter-in-law because of my wife, if I don't have this reputation, he won't have to marry this Xue widow. Where did my reputation come from, you know in your heart that for you, I can grit my teeth and wear the hat of this bad element, for the sake of my third son. I can take it off too! ”
"Can this bad guy still be as he wants to be, and if he doesn't want to be someone else's government, he will take off your hat for you?" Wang Fengying looked at Mrs. Zhou sarcastically, these days she is in charge of her own house, and she has a daughter-in-law who is supported by her. In front of Mrs. Zhou, she became more and more confident, and she had no scruples when she spoke.
"Then it's up to me to say it. If there is evidence for something, you are not afraid that no one will believe it. Mrs. Zhou changed her temper in the past, and she was able to reason with people quietly.
"What kind of evidence is not a credential, the commune has decided it!" Zhou Chunfa was immediately frightened. Mrs. Zhou is going to settle old accounts with him.
"The second child will go to the commune tomorrow and say goodbye again! He doesn't care about your brothers, and I can't care about him as a mother! Mrs. Zhou burst into tears, very distressed, "The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are meat, my mother has such a bad reputation for him, he doesn't care about a few of you, and my mother can't be sorry for you, so I can only give up one!" ”
"Alas! Mother! Zhou Chunxi was completely subdued by Mrs. Zhou's tears, "I'll go tomorrow!" It's not you who is the one who is the one who is the one who is changing. It's the eldest brother and the two of them, don't suffer for this anymore! ”
"What's the matter, the two of us!" Wang Fengying immediately became anxious, "Everyone in the commune listens to you, whoever you say is who!" ”
"My second brother is Zhou Ping's father, yes, yes, he is the victim!" Zhou Chunlai has not been criticized in vain these days, and he has learned a few new terms, "He said it!" The two of you go to see each other, and the two of you are close to the old Xu family. So many people have come and gone, and there are so many people who have seen it! Besides, my third brother and I can testify! No one sued about this matter, someone went to sue it, and the commune didn't know anything about it when it investigated! ”
Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Chunfa cannot agree with this statement. quarreled with Mrs. Zhou and her three younger brothers, and in the end, the four of them hugged each other, and they were afraid that they would make a big deal and affect their future, so they could only stop and listen to Mrs. Zhou's mercy.
First of all, Wang Fengying handed over the financial power of the family. Although there are only eight dollars and five cents left, it is also the entire property of the family.
Eight dollars and five cents is enough to marry a daughter-in-law. The rest of the money Zhou Chunfa will find a way! As long as Mrs. Zhou marries her third son, she doesn't care where the bride price money comes from.
Although Mrs. Zhou didn't say it explicitly, her words have already been revealed, you are in charge of the meals and work of thousands of people, where can you not get these dozens of yuan?
Zhou Chunfa was so anxious that his mouth was full of foams, there were two bad elements in the family, and as soon as the infrastructure team started on the eleventh day of the first month, he was trembling, afraid that he would accidentally lose this accounting errand, how could he dare to pay attention to the money in the workplace!
However, if she doesn't satisfy Mrs. Zhou, she has to sue him, and with the help of three younger brothers, he can't toss these few! When the time comes, he will really become a bad element of persecution of women, not to mention the accountant of the infrastructure construction team, even the accountant of the brigade, he will not even think about being the accountant of the brigade.
Long-term and near-term worries, he can only choose to solve one.
Zhou Chun sent it to Zhou Chunliang to settle the bride price. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Xue Shuiqin and Wang Meihua also came to the Zhou family under the leadership of Yang Dajiao.
Early in the morning, Zhou Chen prepared for today's meeting.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Wanwan's heads followed Zhou Chen around the room, turning back and forth for more than a dozen times, but he still hadn't finished his work.
"Second brother, aren't you going to make up the class?" Zhou Wanwan really felt that Zhou Chen didn't have to be so close to the enemy, just looking at each other, no matter how much Xue Shuiqin had eyes, she had to be honest today, and she couldn't do anything to their brothers and sisters.
"I'll go back next day, I'll tell Mr. Li about it." Zhou Chen finally checked the hygiene in the house, and was quite satisfied, and then looked at his brother and sister, and felt that it was better for his sister to wear the small embroidered clothes made by her mother, and she had to change her hairstyle, and braid two loose pigtails to match that set of clothes.
Zhou Yang looked at his younger brother who began to toss his sister again, distressed and helpless. When the stepmother came, they didn't trouble her, they didn't make trouble for her, they didn't need her to feed them, there was no conflict at all, and the younger brother didn't have to be so nervous.
But Zhou Yang felt sorry for his younger brothers and sisters, if there was a mother, how could they worry about such a thing at a young age......
"Xiao Er, it's okay, she's here to live, and she has a child herself, so she can't do anything about it." Zhou Yang could only take out the words he had said several times to comfort his younger brother.
"Then she has to see it on the first day, we can manage ourselves neatly, we don't need her, don't take it in the future, and we will talk about it when we were young. I have to let her know that we don't want to mess with her, don't have any bad intentions. "Zhou Chen is really right about things and not people, when he mentions the word stepmother. He was on full alert and went into battle.
Zhou Wanwan suddenly thought of whether the second brother was also so shrewd and vigilant in her previous life. That's why Xue Shuiqin was doubly jealous, and finally pushed the boat down the river and sent him to prison.
"Big brother, what if my stepmother doesn't like me?" Zhou Wanwan strives to train the eldest brother to be full of crisis awareness, and the brother and sister work together. in order to ensure that Xue Shuiqin is not allowed to take advantage of the loophole.
"She dares!" Zhou Chen immediately exploded, "If you don't eat her land or drink her land, why can't she look down on her!" If she dares to bully you a little, the second brother will take you away immediately after cleaning her up, and no one will try to stop her. In the last sentence, Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Yang and said.
"If she can't look down on us, we can't look down on her! Ignore her! Zhou Yang looked at his younger brothers and sisters looking at him brightly, how could he say a word, "There is a big brother here." No one wants to bully you both! ”
"No one wants to bully us!" Zhou Wanwan corrected Zhou Yang.
"Yes, it's us." Zhou Yang echoed his sister with a smile.
Zhou Chen was satisfied, his dark eyes were smiling, but when he looked at Zhou Yang's clothes, he began to be dissatisfied again, "Didn't you change that blue coat?" Why did you put on this black one? This one doesn't have that spirit! ”
"You found this one for me in the morning." Zhou Yang was confused by his younger brother.
"This one doesn't look good, hurry up and replace that one!" Zhou Chen waved his hand, no matter how his brother explained, anyway, he was not satisfied with this dress.
Zhou Yang reluctantly changed his clothes.
Xue Shuiqin came to see each other, not only brought Wang Meihua. also brought her sister Xue Maisui, and her sister's eight-year-old nephew Li Suozhu. A group of people sat in the east house of the Zhou family first, mainly Yang Dajia introduced the character and character of both parties, and Mrs. Zhou simply asked Xue Shuiqin a few words. With Yang Dajia and Xue Maisui in the middle, the conversation went very smoothly.
Zhou Chunliang has been sitting on the North Kang, without raising his head much. Xue Shuiqin sat on the tip of the kang in the south kang, and did not glance at the north kang. Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied, although she was a widow, she looked like a serious person.
The man and woman who looked at each other didn't say a word. But everyone knows that this is basically done.
In the end, Yang Dajia proposed, after sitting for a long time, let's go to the Westinghouse to have a look. To go to the Westinghouse, of course, is to go to the Xili where Zhou Chunliang and they live, which is also to let Xue Shuiqin see the house where she will live when she gets married in the future.
When the group came to Xili, they were immediately shocked by the neatness and cleanliness of the house.
As soon as I entered, I felt that my eyes were bright, not because of how good the furnishings in the room were, but because everything was spotless, and things were placed in an orderly manner, and even the ground was swept without a single grass thorn.
In the Northeast of this era, the kang was burned in winter, and there was always smoke and a lot of dust when burning firewood and grass in the house. Therefore, the vast majority of people's homes, as soon as they enter the house, are gray and abrupt, and it is normal for strings of gray strings to hang down from the corners and roofs of the shed, even if they are particularly clean, there will be unburned firewood and grass on the ground or some firewood such as wheat straw brought in inadvertently.
No one thought that a house without a woman and three children would be so clean.
The cleanly washed and neatly folded bedding, the kang without a single mess, the red lanterns scattered in the corners of the walls, the boxes, the table, and even the rags in the corners of the table are folded into a boxy shape, the cleanliness of this home and the care used in the details of life are unforgettable.
"This third child, this blind date is quite strong." Yang Dajia immediately said with a smile. She is emphasizing Zhou Chunliang's importance to this blind date and making a face for Xue Shuiqin.
Xue Shuiqin and Xue Maisui had smiles on their faces. This man is not only decent-looking, diligent, and honest, but now it seems that he is also clean and has a heart for Xue Shuiqin.
Xue Shuiqin entered the house, and Zhou Wanwan only glanced at her, and then stopped looking at her. When he was young, Xue Shuiqin was beautiful, shrewd, and his eyes were full of ambition. With such a she, marrying Zhou Chunliang in her previous life was as forced as in this life, and she was unwilling to do so, right? That's why they vented their frustration about life on their brothers and sisters?
Zhou Wanwan sneered in her heart, in this life, no matter whether you Xue Shuiqin is innocent or not, I will not let you go.
"It's all cleaned up by my eldest brother and second brother, and my father never does the work at home." Zhou Wanwan can't let Zhou Chunliang get a good reputation and steal the labor of her brothers. is also to explain to everyone that the three of us are living well on our own, and you Xue Shuiqin will not be like in your previous life, preaching everywhere how much hard work it has taken to take care of us.
"Yo! This little girl looks so handsome! "Yang Dajia has been a matchmaker for so many years, and he still has the ability to change the topic.
The people in the room turned their attention to the three children sitting on the north kang. At this glance, the group was shocked again.
These three children are too smart and spiritual!
The two boys were tall and slender, like two small trees full of life. A little girl is white and tender and powdery, more beautiful than the little star in the movie!
Look at their clothes again, they are half-new and not old, they are all washed clean, there is no extra thread, and they are dressed to reveal a proper and comfortable feeling, which is more pleasing to the eye than Wang Meihua and Li Suozhu, who deliberately changed into the best clothes today.
It's like three motherless children! This is a hundred miles away, and the county magistrate's family can't raise such a neat and good-looking child!
Seeing Zhou Yang's three brothers and sisters, I don't know why, Li Suozhu wanted to hide the sleeves of his cotton jacket that was polished to expose cotton and his knees bulging out a lot.
Wang Meihua had been hiding behind Xue Shuiqin shyly, and now she couldn't help but poke her head out to look at the beautiful glass gauze headband on Zhou Wanwan's head and the delicate embroidery on her clothes.
Xue Shuiqin was also very surprised, she never expected to see such a clean and tidy house and such outstanding children.
"You haven't seen your Aunt Xue and your Aunt Xue yet! Come and see you! Yang Dajia said that he was going to hug Zhou Wanwan, first, this little girl looked too rare, she wanted to hug, and secondly, she thought that children were easy to get close to people, so let her talk to Xue Shuiqin first, mix face, and look good in the future marriage scene.
"Aunt Yang, sit down, come from all afar, it's quite cold on the road, right?" Zhou Chen blocked Yang Da's feet to hug Zhou Wanwan's arm without a trace, and let her go to the south kang, Zhou Yang also smiled at everyone, and picked up Zhou Wanwan and didn't let it go.
Zhou Chen politely let Yang Dajiao to Nankang, not only greeted the guests, but also avoided greeting Xue Shuiqin.
"It's really good that the children of the third child are fed!" Yang Dajia sincerely praised these three children, they are good-looking, clean and neat, they can speak, and they are polite, if anyone has such three children, they will have to wake up happily when they sleep!
"Like a, I can work." Zhou Chunliang stood at the end of the group and held back for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence.
Xue Shuiqin's eyes narrowed, and the gaze of the three children became complicated.
The room was a little cold for a while. mentioned his ex-wife in front of Xue Shuiqin, it was like slapping her in the face.
"If you want to say that you can work, we can also be diligent! Come, plum blossom, meet the two brothers and sisters, they will be a family in the future, don't be ashamed! Yang Dajia hurriedly played a round game, pulled out Wang Meihua, who was hiding behind Xue Shuiqin, and pushed it in the direction of Beikang. (To be continued.) )
