CHAPTER XXXI
In the end, Zhong Zijing left with a black face. Luo Shaowen's idea is really rotten anymore, now it's not the past, his parents are not old and confused, if he dares to pull this out as a reason, he will be escorted to the hospital by his parents for examination every minute, and then everyone will be together hehe.
As long as his mind is still clear, it is impossible for him to use such a reason to invite disaster to Wang Li to prevaricate his parents.
Who wants a daughter-in-law who pries her husband and plays tricks with her in-laws before she enters the door? Oh, not the daughter-in-law? That's even worse, you don't even need to pinch to make your husband do this, so will there be a place for my in-laws to stand at home after that?
You can't ask for it.
Zhongzi was respectful, so he should simply confess to his parents directly, if he confesses, he can still have a little sympathy with his parents: Look, your son is so pitiful, he has seen women like men for so many years, and he is about to have a problem, and you still refuse to agree to your son marrying Wang Li? Hopefully, she can make your son feel the joy of being a man.
But even if it is a confession, he must choose a breakthrough, otherwise, it will be impossible for his family to believe his confession. Also, if you are in good health, how can this be? You have to make up nonsense to be reliable.
Only the eldest sister in the family will believe him, so you have to go to the eldest sister first and explain the eldest sister, and if the eldest sister makes sense, the mother will be easy to deal with. Mom settles down, and Dad will have no problem.
Hey, I usually see the only son of someone else's family as a comfortable and wanton, why is it so difficult to change to my own place?
Zhong Zijing has nowhere to pour the bitter water in his stomach, but this is what he is happy to do, and he is trying to turn the bitter water in his stomach into sugar water, and in the Wang family's hut, there is a person who is full of sugar water that is about to become bitter water, and this person is Zhao Bingcheng.
Speaking of which, the cause of Zhao Bingcheng's incident is still on Wang Mei's head.
At that time, Wang Mei annoyed Xiaomei, so that Xiaomei made up her mind to break off with Zhao Bingcheng, and the next day happened to be the meeting day that the two of them had made an appointment, so Xiaomei planned to make it clear to Zhao Bingcheng at that time, and never meet privately in the future.
But Wang Mei happened to run to Lamei and said a bunch of strange things, why Xiaomei has always avoided her recently, why Xiaomei hasn't played with the two of them for a long time, what Xiaomei is not talking about the object, etc., which hangs up Lamei's curiosity. Originally, the three of them have always played together, although there are many times when Lamei feels that Wang Mei and Xiaomei have something to hide from her, but she also knows that people have secrets, like her, if she likes Brother Xiangzi in the next room, she will never tell the two of them, so she doesn't care about this.
However, now that Wang Mei told her that Xiaomei was even hiding from Wang Mei, she was strange, Xiaomei was usually so good with Wang Mei, even Wang Mei was hiding, then it must be a very special secret thing, maybe it was really her private conversation!
When Lamei thought of this, her eyes lit up, Xiaomei is so powerful, I don't know who she is talking about? It must be a very powerful one, otherwise how would Xiaomei think of it? I can't see who it is, is it better than her brother Xiangzi?
Wang Mei said on the side, seeing that Lamei's eyes lit up, she knew that this matter was almost over, as long as Lamei wanted to investigate, she would definitely be able to block Xiaomei. Everyone is so familiar with each other, and the places they often go to know each other, so Wang Mei talked to Lamei again and went home.
Things are here, in fact, it's not the worst, at most, Xiaomei and Zhao Bingcheng were seen by Lamei, originally Xiaomei and Zhao Bingcheng met the most pay attention to the distance, even if people saw it, they couldn't say anything wrong, but the bad thing is that Lamei usually has a bit of a big mouth and can't keep secrets. When the family had dinner together in the evening, Lamei inadvertently told her mother that her guess was the truth, and her mother had always looked at Xiaomei unpleasantly, so she immediately thought of going somewhere else.
Why does Lamei's mother look at Xiaomei unpleasantly? Xiaomei's usual dustless appearance is not only uncomfortable for Wang Mei, but also uncomfortable for many elderly aunts and aunts in the Wang family's hut.
It's not good-looking, I can't do farm work, and I went to junior high school to study, why do you look down on people so much? is obviously a native of the countryside, but he wants to look like a city person, and compare other people's daughters to a few people, so which family can be a mother?
It's just that her father is the branch secretary, and Lamei's father always makes Lamei and Xiaomei friendly, and Lamei's mother can't say anything clearly, and Lamei's brain is not very flexible, what she says is vague, and she doesn't understand it, so she can't make her mother angry, this will hear Lamei say that Xiaomei secretly talked about an object, why don't you want to retaliate?
So, after eating that night, Lamei's mother led Lamei to say where Xiaomei might appear, and prepared to block people tomorrow, and the reason for finding it was very open: to check Xiaomei, lest she be deceived.
The next day was the Chinese New Year's Eve.
By the Chinese New Year's Eve, basically everyone should buy and buy, should be prepared, there are those usually lazy people, this will be busy cleaning up and preparing, from time to time ping-pong smashed the pot and dropped the bowl, provoked adults and children to shout together, passers-by laughed, and did not laugh at his mother-in-law's laziness.
The fourth father put a table at the door of his house, put on the ink of the hero card with the lid unscrewed, put the good brush that he usually kept, spread out the cut red paper, waved the pen, and soon wrote seven or eight couplets. The boys waiting on the side looked at the big characters on the paper in awe, thanked the four fathers respectfully, and each took the couplet home to paste it on the door.
At nine or ten o'clock in the morning, the housewives of every household are busy in the kitchen, and the pillars of the family are carrying porcelain jars to brew strong tea and go to the east and west houses, swinging the dragon gate array, or listening to each other to find out how the harvest is in this year. As for the children, there is no control, and they are in groups of three or five, either gathering together to throw the top, or lying on the ground to play marbles, or finding a long rope from somewhere, and several people line up to jump rope.
The whole royal cottage was shrouded in joy to celebrate the Spring Festival.
In the warehouse converted house where the intellectuals live in the southeast corner of the Wang's cottage, seven men are also preparing for the New Year. Most of them are northerners, accustomed to eating dumplings during the New Year, unlike the Wangjia hut located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, usually planting rice, wheat is not planted at all, so the staple food is also rice, the pasta is only the steamed buns sold in the early shop in the county, and even the noodles are the noodles sold by the noodle factory in the city, and ordinary people don't even have flour at home, some are just rice rakes made of rice noodles.
They have lived here for a long time, always eat rice, but want to eat dumplings, so they managed to go to the county supply and marketing cooperatives to buy five catties of flour, and chop two catties of meat, come back to knead the dough and make dumplings to eat, so it is a thought.
Zhao Bingcheng was absent-minded all morning, thinking about waiting to meet Xiaomei, and saw that the dumplings were almost wrapped, so he said hello to the others and went out, leaving the other six people to squeeze their eyebrows and gesture to each other. Living together for so long, no secret is a secret.
Zhang Feng, who was so narrow, wanted to follow Zhao Bingcheng to take a peek, but was stopped by others. It's all big guys, everyone understands.
Zhao Bingcheng carefully walked all the way to the bottom of the locust tree on the edge of Wangjiatang, and saw Xiaomei standing there looking at the bottom of the pond that had been emptied.
Zhao Bingcheng's heart was hot, and he hurriedly sped up two steps, walked to Xiaomei's side, and called out happily: "Xiaomei, you are here." ”
Xiaomei turned her head to look at Zhao Bingcheng.
Today, Zhao Bingcheng is wearing an old jacket in the style of a tunic suit, the jacket is cleanly washed, and only a small patch of the same color is made on the cuffs, which makes him look extremely clean and neat.
He was already quite tall, his hair was cut short, and his face had undergone a winter of cultivation, and he was restored to white, which made him extremely elegant.
Xiaomei thought, how could such a good-looking man not stay for her, stay, with his father, he could still make him suffer? It's a pity that he just wants to leave.
Since she had made up her mind, she naturally wouldn't repent for this, so she smiled at Zhao Bingcheng: "How are you preparing there?" ”
Zhao Bingcheng had a full stomach and wanted to say to Xiaomei, and when Xiaomei asked this, he replied softly: "The dumplings have been wrapped, just wait until the evening is on the pot, wait for the dumplings to be ready, you still come here, I'll give you a few tastes, everything is good here at your house, but there is no pasta, this time the flour is still we pleaded with the supply and marketing cooperatives two months in advance to let them bring it, you haven't eaten our dumplings, the taste is still very good." ”
Zhao Bingcheng was full of nostalgia when she said it, and only said that Xiaomei's heart was frozen, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, smiled and listened to Zhao Bingcheng finish speaking, and said for a long time: "Well, your dumplings there must be delicious." Tonight, I, I can't come, my father said, my family is just such a daughter, and the family is too lonely for the New Year. ”
After that, she lowered her head, and couldn't bear to look at Zhao Bingcheng anymore.
When Zhao Bingcheng heard this, his blood was like being poured with a scoop of cold water. He raised his hand and wanted to hold Xiaomei's hand, but Xiaomei clasped her hands in front of her and didn't secretly stretch out for him to hold as usual.
He swallowed hard and said, "Yes, yes?" So, what does your dad think? ”
Xiaomei looked down at the ground, and said without raising her head: "What my father means is to recruit one, recruit a son-in-law, and after a hundred years, there will be people who will be dusty and broken." ”
Zhao Bingcheng only felt dizzy in front of him, how could this be? Yesterday was fine, why is she like this today?
He couldn't help it, he forgot all about Xiaomei's usual insistence on keeping a distance, stepped forward, held Xiaomei's shoulders with both hands, and asked astringently: "Xiaomei, this, is this also what you mean?" You're too."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "Xiaomei, Zhao Bingcheng, what are you doing?" ”
