In his previous life, Zhou Wanwan had never seen Shen Guodong and his person, but he heard a lot of his gossip.

The first time I heard Shen Guodong's name, Zhou Wanwan had just entered the junior high school in the township, and at that time Shen Guodong was already famous in the county and even the whole region. Because he alone broke into the base camp of the rebels in Red * Bing County, singled out the three major rebels, and beat one person into a lifelong disability, and the other two were seriously injured.

Shen Guodong disappeared after beating people, and of course it is impossible for a rural junior high school student like Zhou Wanwan to know his whereabouts and the follow-up of the matter. The next time I heard his name, it was already in 1980 when I was admitted to college and went home for the summer vacation.

That year, Shen Guodong returned to Sanjiatun to give Shen Shou Chang'an a burial. The people of Sanjiatun who died in the year of Chief Shen didn't know until Shen Guodong came back and built him a super luxurious tomb, so that his wish to return to his roots was fulfilled, and his hometown knew that this legendary old hero had passed away for many years.

What shocked the whole county was not Chief Shen's luxurious tomb, but the car driven by Shen Guodong. At that time, in Suilin County, only the county government had a dilapidated car and a jeep before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The car easily did not dare to drive out of the county, and it would definitely break down after walking dozens of kilometers. The jeep is sturdy, but it is particularly uncomfortable, with a canvas roof, cold in winter and hot in summer, and the parts are constantly clanging when walking on the road. And it is said that the car driven by Shen Guodong is more advanced than the governor, and it is a foreign product! There is also heating and air conditioning in the car, which is so luxurious that the chairman has never sat in it!

In the next few years, until Zhou Wanwan's death, every year I could hear about the grand occasion of Shen Guodong coming back to sweep the tomb, the car he sat in became more and more advanced year by year, and the pomp and circumstance became more and more grand year by year. This man has become a legend.

Zhou Wanwan didn't expect that he would be able to see such a Shen Guodong in this life, and he really had the momentum to single-handedly challenge the three major rebels.

After watching the excitement, Zhou Yang returned home with Zhou Wanwan in his arms, and the kitchen of the Zhou family was already preparing dinner. It stands to reason that Mrs. Zhou didn't see them for a day, so she must scold them as usual, but today there are only Wang Fengying's mother and daughter in the kitchen, and the East House can't hear the sound of talking. Zhou Chen quietly waved at them in the West House, signaling them not to speak and go back to the West House.

"Grandma scolded you?" Back in the West House, Zhou Yang hurriedly asked Zhou Chen.

"Nope." Zhou Chen hugged Zhou Wanwan over to wash his face and change clothes, tossing for a day, gray and sweaty, the little guy's little face was about to become a little cat.

"It's the eldest sister, Zhao Si Niang introduced an object, it's from the Ma Pit, the second aunt is too poor, why don't you agree, the grandmother just scolded her, let's not mess with her, come to us again." While talking to Zhou Yang, Zhou Chen neatly cleaned Zhou Wanwan and changed into clean clothes, and was satisfied to see that his sister had become a white, tender and fragrant little doll again.

Zhou Wanwan remembered that Zhao Si's grandmother came home a few days ago, and she should have been the media for Zhou Ping. The man was more than ten years older than Zhou Ping, had one less hand, and was grumpy after marriage, and finally forced Zhou Ping to hang himself.

Although she knew the ending, Zhou Wanwan didn't plan to interfere with Zhou Ping's engagement or marriage.

Whether it's cold-blooded or cruel, Zhou Wanwan feels that she can't interfere and can't change anything. Limakeng is more than 20 miles away from Sanjiatun, and it is not far to walk after Xiaohan Mountain, before the engagement, Zhou Ping and Zhou Chunxi went to see the man. The man was poor, disabled, and old, and they all knew this, and even the fact that he was short-tempered was easy to know with a little inquiry. But in the end, they agreed to the affair. Although there are reasons for Mrs. Zhou's strong pressure, as long as Zhou Ping does not agree, can Mrs. Zhou still tie her up to get married?

Zhou Wanwan didn't know what she could do to change from it. Could it be that if you go up and tell Zhou Ping that you don't marry, that man will force you to death in the end?

Therefore, even if every time she thought of this, Zhou Wanwan's heart was like a lump of soaked cotton, wet and cold, and she didn't plan to remind Zhou Ping's family of anything. Because it's useless, because they've already pushed themselves up the cliff, and no one can save them.

That night, the Zhou family's dinner was very depressing. Mrs. Zhou sat still in the porridge basin, staring gloomily at Zhou Ping's mother and daughter with wrinkled triangular eyes. Li Guizhi and Zhou Ping lowered their heads and remained silent, looking at them carefully, their bodies trembling slightly.

"Second brother, you are a big man, can't you come up with some steel? Can't you be the master of women? Zhou Chunfa took a sip of mush, and used chopsticks to teach Zhou Chunxi a lesson on the table.

"Second brother, you see that your mother is angry!" Zhou Hongying also gave Zhou Chun a helping voice, "Aren't you a dutiful son?" You don't have any filial piety? ”

"Mother, it's not that I'm not filial, it's that the family is really inappropriate." Zhou Chunxi put down the porridge bowl that didn't move, and squatted on the kang with his head in his arms.

"What's wrong with that? Can I, a grandmother, hurt her? Mrs. Zhou knocked on the porridge bowl and said angrily, she didn't care that the second son couldn't pull out a fart with three sticks, and went directly to Zhou Ping's mother and daughter: "What are you suspicious of?" People are not seventy or eighty when they are older, and they don't delay their work if they don't have a hand, you dislike others, and they don't dislike you! If you are a hen that does not lay eggs, I am afraid that you will not be able to give birth to a son in the future, and you will be cut off! ”

"Mother! How can you say that about my big girl! Li Guizhi collapsed and slipped to the ground, his whole body was paralyzed, word by word, and he wailed almost with all his strength: "I can't find such a person...... It's going to ruin her whole life...... Dad, say something! Can't watch us jump into the fire pit......"

Zhou Chunxi pulled his hair vigorously on the kang, and screamed bitterly in Zhou Ping: "Dad! After that, he finally raised his head, looked at Old Man Zhou with red eyes, and also called out sadly: "Dad! ”

Old man Zhou was silent, smoking his cigarette pouch and pot without saying a word. Zhou Chunxi's eyes slowly dimmed, and finally sat on the kang like a loss of strength, and couldn't say a word with his head down.

Zhou Juan glanced at Wang Fengying several times, and Wang Fengying, who was looking lively and energetic, reacted, stood up with a smile, and worked with Zhou Juan to drag Li Guizhi to the north kang and lie down, "His second aunt, look what you are doing, our mother didn't say anything!" ”

Zhou Juan also smiled and persuaded Li Guizhi: "Second aunt, my grandmother didn't say that it would be settled immediately, just to look at each other." My grandmother has promised Zhao Si's grandmother, if the eldest sister doesn't go, my grandmother won't be able to explain to others. Second aunt, let's be juniors, why can't we slap the old man in the face like this, don't you say? ”

"Sister-in-law! You beg our mother, this family can't be determined! You also grew up watching Erya, you can't watch her jump into the fire pit! Li Guizhi grabbed Wang Fengying's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Her second aunt, you see why you can't understand the words! We didn't say that we were going to settle it, didn't we just take a look at each other first? Otherwise, it's not good for our mother to explain to Zhao Sima, isn't it? "Wang Fengying's attitude towards Li Guizhi is unprecedentedly good, she has been a concubine for so many years, this is the most patient time to speak.

"Don't ramble with her! Something you can't understand! I'm not a mother, I'm going to feed her baby girl to the wolf! Mrs. Zhou turned her head and refused to look at Zhou Chunxi's family with hatred.

Zhou Chunxi listened to Mrs. Zhou's relief, and there was a light in her eyes, "Mother......" Zhou Chunxi rubbed his hands, and muttered that he didn't know what to say to Mrs. Zhou.

"Mother! Let's eat! I'm hungry! Zhou Hongying glanced at Zhou Chunxi, and urged Mrs. Zhou under Zhou Juan's hint.

Mrs. Zhou began to divide the porridge with a gloomy face, after the Qingming Festival, the green vegetables in the garden grew up one after another, the vegetable porridge of the Zhou family is now much richer than before, although the food is still so little, but with the green vegetables, it is not so thin, the taste is much better, overall, there is still a great improvement.

Unprecedentedly, today, Zhou Ping and Zhou Juan, like Zhou Juan, both received a whole bowl of porridge, and even Li Guizhi, who was lying on the kang and couldn't get up, had half a bowl. Zhou Ping and Li Guizhi looked at each other flatteredly, with a relieved smile in their eyes, in their opinion, this was a signal of compromise from Mrs. Zhou, and it was a sign that they felt that they had done something wrong, and they couldn't pull down their faces to apologize to them.

Zhou Wanwan lowered her eyes and drank the porridge fed by Zhou Chen, feeling very uncomfortable. In her opinion, this bowl of porridge is the bait for Mrs. Zhou to lure her prey to the trap, and she will never want to escape after eating it. It's a pity that she saw it on the side and saw it in vain, they themselves were willing to believe in the hunter and step into the trap willingly, what could others do......

In fact, Zhou Wanwan was not the only one who saw that there was something strange about this matter, and even Zhou Chen, who was only eleven years old, didn't believe the statements of Mrs. Zhou and Wang Fengying's mother and daughter.

"Why does Fourth Grandmother Zhao want to introduce such a person to the second sister? If you change to someone else's house, you can't scold her out? Why did our grandmother promise to see each other? I don't think it's that simple. Back in the West House, when the three brothers and sisters were lying in the quilt and preparing to sleep, Zhou Chen said his opinion. Now, unless necessary, Zhou Chen doesn't speak in the East House, and when he has something to say, the three brothers and sisters come back and hide and whisper.

"I think there's something wrong with my aunt." Zhou Yang thought about it and said. Zhou Wanwan knew that Zhou Yang agreed with Zhou Chen's statement, but he didn't want to say that Mrs. Zhou was not.

"I also feel that something is wrong, you see that she is like her to the second uncle," Zhou Chen thought for a while before described: "Like a weasel giving a chicken a New Year's greeting." ”

Burst! Zhou Yang probably remembered Wang Fengying's appearance at that time, and was described by Zhou Chen, so he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan thought of Wang Fengying's smirk, and they also laughed. Wang Fengying is a person, she is very good at playing nonsense and pestering her, and it is really awkward to make her pretend to be kind and understanding.
