Chapter 253: Faith
During dinner that day, Shen Guodong told everyone a joke, which was about really good.
"A store came in, and a large crowd lined up to buy it. A young man had been standing in line for a long time, and it was finally his turn, and there was only one foot left.
He was going to make a shirt, but this foot is not enough! In a dilemma, the salesman got impatient and asked him, 'Do you want to buy it?' If you don't buy it, you'll be waiting for it! This guy was in a hurry, so he bought it.
He made a pair of pants out of this foot of cloth, and he felt a loss in his heart, and he couldn't show off to others if he wore a pair of pants! He hung a sign around his waist that said, 'There is indeed good inside'.
One day, when he went to the toilet, he hung the sign outside the toilet door. When I came out, there was a long queue of people outside! An eldest lady was so anxious that she shouted, 'Doesn't it mean that there is really good in it?' After waiting for so long, are you still selling? ’”
There was laughter at the dinner table, and Sister Ling and Aunt Sun both laughed and burst into tears.
"This young man is stupid too! Make a fake collar and put it on, and everyone will look at it! "Aunt Sun gave the most professional advice.
Sister Ringing pursed her lips and smiled, and sandwiched the dried tofu that she didn't like to eat by the bowl on the side of the bowl and ate it in her own bowl.
Zhou Wanwan glanced at Zhou Chen carefully, saw that he blinked, and was embarrassed to stop Sister Ling, and happily continued to eat.
"Come with me to cook at night, and teach you how to cook a few more dishes while I have time these days." After Sister Ringing's wedding date was set, she has been looking for time to teach Zhou Wanwan to cook, "When the girl is older, she has to have a few specialty dishes." Otherwise, if you get married in the future, it will be difficult to stand in your in-law's house. ”
"With these few here, you can't let people bully you! You can rest assured! Aunt Sun smiled and pointed to the circle of young men in front of her.
Sister Ringing disagreed, "My mother's family is so tough." The life has to be lived by the two of them, and they come back to find their mother's family at every turn, and they have to be looked down upon by their mother-in-law's family. ”
"That's right," Aunt Sun sighed, "It's not easy to be a woman!" I have to find a good family for Xiao Nannan, but I can't let people bully her! ”
Zhou Yang's faces were complicated and gloomy that couldn't be concealed.
They knew that Sister Ringing and Aunt Sun were right, but when they thought that their sister would marry in the future. I have to go to someone else's house, and I feel so uncomfortable that I have been poached away.
"You're so young, you're getting married early! Don't talk about that! For the first time, Zhou Chen spoke abruptly and politely to Sister Ling and Aunt Sun.
The tone is very impulsive. It's the same as being angry.
Shen Guodong dropped his chopsticks and stopped eating.
Aunt Sun also saw the thoughts of a few boys, "Okay, good!" Your baby is so small, you don't need to get married! Don't talk about it! Let's have a good meal! ”
Zhou Chen barely pulled out a little laugh. There was no smile in his eyes. Absentmindedly said a few words to Aunt Sun, and then put down the chopsticks and stopped eating.
Zhou Wanwan sighed in her heart, squeezed into Zhou Chen's chair and went upstairs to hold his neck and coax him, "Second brother, why does my swing squeak and squeak?" It's noisy! Hurry up and fix it for me.
In the spring, didn't I say to plant a row of sunflowers in front of the door? Why are they all Gesang flowers? Get me some sunflowers to plant, I'll want them tomorrow morning!" If you don't get it for me, I won't let you go to work!" ”
Zhou Wanwan shook Zhou Chen's neck. The whole person was tired of him, "You can't remember what I said!" How do you be someone's brother! ”
Zhou Chen smiled at once. "Didn't you say you liked Gesang flowers last year, and you wanted to plant them all over the yard? After a while, you think it's better for me to remember what you said? ”
Zhou Wanwan giggled, "I keep saying that if I don't go to school, you won't remember!" ”
Zhou Chen smiled and flicked Zhou Wanwan's little brain, "This is not negotiable!" What do I not listen to you except this? ”
Zhou Wanwan pouted and pointed to the table, "I don't want to eat dried tofu with green peppers, you always let me eat it." ”
Zhou Chen was choked by her and stared at her. Zhou Yang laughed when he saw it.
Aunt Sun and Sister Ling glanced at each other, looked at the few people who were unconsciously coaxed by Zhou Wanwan and smiled, shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Don't mention it now, when this girl is going to get married in the future, what can I do with these guys!
Sister Ringing still insisted on teaching Zhou Wanwan to cook, "Everything else is easy to learn, you are smart, just look at it." It's just a matter of cooking, and you can't do it without getting started. When my sister leaves, those few in the family will definitely not let you touch anything. If I don't teach you, I won't be at ease. ”
After Sister Ringing finished speaking, her face suddenly turned a little red, "There is another matter, I am thinking about it, and I have to teach you." I won't be able to come back often in the future, in case you put it up early, and no one asks, I'll be scared when the time comes. ”
Sister Ringing pulled Zhou Wanwan to her side and whispered in her ear, "When the girl is older, she has to bleed every month, which is called menstruation, don't be afraid...... And the little vest, when you start to grow in front of you, you have to wear ......"
Sister Ringing blushed and explained to Zhou Wanwan in detail that these things should have been taught to her by her mother.
After Sister Ringing finished speaking, Zhou Wanwan hugged her waist and refused to let go for a long time.
How important these things are to an ignorant girl, no one will know better than Zhou Wanwan.
In her previous life, how she spent this stage of growth in a panic is still vivid. In this life, although she no longer needs these guidance, she is grateful to Sister Ringing who can help her think of it in every detail.
In her past life and this life, she has never experienced maternal love. Sister Ringing's kindness, sincerity and unreserved love made her no longer feel regretful.
All the beautiful emotions in the world can be inherited, and the love and warmth that her mother gave to Sister Ringing doubled her back.
This love was passed on to her, and there was no loss, but it was more abundant, and it also warmed the hearts of two people.
Many people say that good people are stupid, and when she returns from this life, she once gritted her teeth and swore that she only believed in the law of the jungle and had no hope in humanity at all.
However, the experience of the past ten years has slowly changed Zhou Wanwan's mind.
She met so many kind people, Grandpa Shen. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Ma, Mr. Guo. Aunt Zhao's family, Sister Ling, Uncle Baocheng......
These people have given so many beautiful and sincere feelings to their brothers and sisters, so that their hearts have always been warm and soft in touch, and they have always moved forward with strength in gratitude.
Unconsciously, Zhou Wanwan began to believe in goodness religiously and steadfastly, which is the most simple and powerful thing in the world. It can grow in the transmission, it can make people brave and strong, and it can make a person's barren and dark heart rich and warm.
The kindness that Zhou Wanwan believes in is not applicable to everyone. At least she knew that for the Zhou family, telling them kindness was self-destruction.
There is a living example in front of you. Zhou Chunxi and his wife were about to be killed by their own so-called kindness.
After Mrs. Zhou and her party were sentenced. Zhou Chunxi and his wife began to raise the group of children they left behind.
Zhou Hongying, Zhou Ling, Zhou Meihua, Zhou Tiezhu, Qian Yan, Qian Lei. They can't leave any of these children behind, and they all become a responsibility on their backs.
Qian Yan gritted her teeth to go to school, Qian Tie also knelt in front of Zhou Chunxi and cried, and in the end they had to provide for the two children of the Qian family to go to school.
When Zhou Ping finally took the second half of the day off and took Cheng Yulin home, she only glanced at her parents and sister in front of her, and then slammed the door in anger.
Before she came, she had already inquired about the situation at home clearly, and she was mentally prepared. But I was still stimulated by their appearance.
Zhou Chunxi and Li Guizhi described them as dry and haggard, with empty and tired eyes. Ragged clothes and emaciated figures, she could think of them.
What she didn't expect was that Zhou Lan would be raised like this by them.
Zhou Lan was severely malnourished and beaten and abused for a long time, thin and weak, with serious figure-eight legs, chicken breasts, and a young age, and even suffered from night blindness, which is a disease that only adults who can't eat oil and water all year round can get.
Zhou Lan is not only almost half-disabled in her body, but her mind has also been affected.
When she saw the stranger, she curled up in the corner of the room, hid herself as best she could, and when she talked to her, she either kept her mouth shut and said nothing, or she could barely say a word.
Zhou Ping was pulled back by Cheng Yulin, and after persuading him for a long time, he was willing to go back and face Zhou Chunxi and Li Guizhi who were looking at them with a dull face.
"I'm going to take Zhou Lan away." This was the first thing Zhou Ping said to his parents seven years after he left home.
At this moment, she regrets it to the core, she should have said this seven years ago and done this.
Before Zhou Ping came back, she had planned that she had to help her parents clean up the mess left by the Zhou family.
Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it. But how are they her parents, Zhou Ping can't give up completely.
Zhou Ling rushed home, with Zhou Jun, a brother in his twenties, who doesn't rely on him, what reason do others have to care about your food and clothing?
Besides, she is already a fifteen-year-old girl, and she can support herself by working in the production team, so why should she eat white rice with peace of mind?
Zhou Meihua and Zhou Tiezhu both went back to their own homes, not even the children of the old Zhou family, why should the Zhou family be fed?
Don't say they're still young and cornered. Zhou Meihua is thirteen years old, she joined the production team when she was ten years old, and you can go even more when you are thirteen years old. Even if you earn a third-class job, it's enough for the two of you to eat for a year.
Qian Tie and Qian Yan, of course, are going back to your old Qian's house. If you have a father and an elder brother, if you don't rely on them, why should others provide for you to study and eat?
As for Zhou Hongying, not to mention, she is a twenty-one-year-old girl, who can care about you for the rest of your life?!
Zhou Ping acted resolutely, sent away what should be sent away, pushed out what should be pushed out, and after a while, the eyes of Zhou Chunxi and his wife were clean.
Then Zhou Ping took Zhou Chunxi and his wife to the old captain, greeted him, and in the future, she gave the money and food to her parents in the team, and then gave them to them on a monthly basis. Never let anyone take advantage of it.
After doing this, they took Zhou Lan to Zhou Yang's house again.
Li Xiuhua's matter, Zhou Ping has been thinking about it all these years, and she still owes Zhou Yang's children a solemn apology.
Zhou Yang calmly listened to Zhou Ping's apology, avoiding her deep bow.
They will never forgive their mothers.
All those involved in this matter, no matter what reason and excuse, no matter how remorseful, they will not utter that word of forgiveness.
Zhou Ping just cowardly didn't dare to expose those people at the time in this matter, so they didn't hate her, but they didn't plan to have any in-depth relationship with her.
What they lost was their mother.
Needless to say anything else, this one reason alone felt it was enough.
But they still relented to Zhou Lan. Among these people in the Zhou family, perhaps only Zhou Lan is the most innocent.
Her experience touched the hearts of several brothers and sisters.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen were simply afraid, if they hadn't worked so hard to leave the Zhou family back then, would it be possible for their sister to become like her?
Zhou Wanwan thought of her past life. If it weren't for the love of her two elder brothers, she might not have been as good as Zhou Lan in her previous life, and she wouldn't even have the possibility of surviving.
Therefore, when Zhou Ping was about to take Zhou Lan away, Zhou Chen packed a large bag of clothes for her, "It was worn by Nan Nan when she was a child, it is quite new, and Liuya is wearing it just right now." In a few days, when Liuya is leaving, we will make two new sets for her. ”
Zhou Ping plans to take Zhou Lan to the water conservancy site now, and in a few days she will ask for leave and send Zhou Lan to a welfare home that is designated to receive the orphans of the victims at the construction site, so that Zhou Lan can temporarily recuperate there, and she will take her home after the holiday.
Zhou Wanwan brought a large box of chocolate candy to Zhou Lan, "Eat one a day, and your illness will be cured." ”
If someone helped their brother and sister in their previous lives, wouldn't they end up so miserable? When Zhou Wanwan was just reborn, she often struggled with this problem.
Now, she wants to help Zhou Lan.
She helped Zhou Lan take care of her body, and in the future, Zhou Lan and Zhou Ping will live together, and stay away from the Zhou family forever, life will definitely be different, right? (To be continued......)
