Chapter 20 Go to see Grandpa
On the second day of junior high school, the whole family wore the most decent clothes and decided to go to the neighboring village to see their grandfather.
Xia Dong is the happiest, just like the old man Xia is partial to summer, because he gave birth to three daughters and did not give birth to a son, Su Jianye, the old man of the Su family, is particularly patriarchal.
According to previous memories, Summer learned that this grandfather was a stubborn and even temperamental old man, and extremely patriarchal. His face of 10,000 years of ice only changed a little when he was facing his grandchildren. And the grandmother in the summer is a character who can't be the master, and she has to listen to Old Man Su for any big and small things.
Grandma and grandpa now live with Summer's second aunt Su Meihua. The second aunt gave birth to a daughter. My cousin's name is Zhang Xiu, nineteen years old, and she is not married yet, but she has already set up her in-law's family.
It is said that her second aunt was pregnant again, and she also found someone to tell a fortune and said that it was a boy. In fact, her second aunt had a child before, but then she fell off. There's also a bit of summer stuff mixed in here.
The second aunt-in-law, Zhang Qingshan, was recruited over. Don't look at it as a recruit, in the Su family, he has an extremely high status. Old Man Su is so stubborn, he has to coax him, and he has to look at his face to live. The second aunt belongs to the kind of person who is a little confused, so she is used to saying everything about Zhang Qingshan at home.
Summer pouted, a little bit I didn't know what to say about my grandfather and second aunt. You said that you can make a cumbersome ride on the neck, which shows how messy the management of Grandpa's family is. Don't look at it, this is a real door-to-door confession. But the summer was a little repulsed.
Su Meili knew that her mother's family would not recruit the Xia family. In fact, she herself feels that it is troublesome to mention her mother's family. It stands to reason that the married girl should return to the door on the third day of junior high school, but since her sister-in-law Xia Aiqin got married, she and her sister-in-law both returned to their parents' house on the second day of the new year, because as sisters-in-law in the third year of junior high school, they had to entertain the sister-in-law of the Xia family.
Su Meili carried the two catties of fat in her hand, and looked back at the three masters who had no energy behind. However, except for Xia Dong in these people, this belongs to a person who does not have a long heart or lungs, and remembers to eat. Her father likes boys and gives Xia Dong all the delicious food, no wonder this silly boy is so happy and elated.
Ay! It seems that these masters still remember the events of the past few years. I just hope that the girl doesn't hold grudges. Su Meili felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
A few years ago, when she was still studying in the summer and autumn and summer, Su Meimei's second sister Su Meihua was pregnant, but her pregnancy was very bad. It was tossed until five months, and the child was gone.
It was for the sake of this child, in order to allow Su Meihua to go to the hospital for treatment and keep the fetus, the old man of the Su family at that time ordered Su Meili and Sister Su to pay some money out. said that as long as you scrape together enough money to be hospitalized, you can keep it.
Sister Su has been married for so many years and only cares about her own small life, and Old Man Su also knows the boss's temperament, and knows that if he can't point to the eldest daughter, he doesn't want to help.
And the little girl Su Meili can take care of her mother's conditions. The in-laws' family is either the village chief or the secretary, and the designation is a bit bottom. He felt that Su Meili had to pay. As a result, Su Meili refused after hearing this, and pushed him back.
Su Meili wanted to help at that time. But she just paid the tuition fees for Xia Qiu and Xia, and she really didn't have any spare money to help her second sister be hospitalized and give birth to a child.
What happened after that was a bit unexpected for Su Meimei. Who would have thought that after a refusal, Old Man Su turned his head and pointed at Xia Xia to scold. Scolding a little girl in the summer, there is a fart for reading, and it's useless to put money on the girl. It's hard to hear about something.
In summer, people are small and have a big temper. Directly shook her grandfather's hand at the tip of her nose to the side. Old man Su exploded at this time, and slapped Xia Xia with his hand, which very coincidentally let Xia Aiguo, who entered the house, see it.
Su Meili and Xia Aiguo have lived for so many years, and they haven't blushed too much, but that time the two quarreled on the spot.
At that time, Xia Aiguo was so angry that he couldn't take care of his brain, and when he opened his mouth, he asked Old Man Su: "How old are you?" Come to my house and beat the kids. Call you Dad, and you will come to my house to point fingers and slap your feet! Xia Aiguo was probably really angry, and he made such unfilial words in his brain.
It's good now, it's a big deal. Old man Su was already annoyed that he didn't borrow money, and he was still anxious to have a grandson. His second girl's marriage is a recruitment, and the boy born can be surnamed Su, which was agreed with the second son-in-law at that time, and it was about to come true that his dream was stuck on the money, and he was scolded by the little son-in-law when he showed his old face, do you think he can be sensible?
picked up the stool in the room and pointed it at Xia Aiguo's back. After Su Meili finished pulling this and that, she couldn't pull any of them. I thought that Xia Aiguo didn't fight back when he was beaten, but it seems that he has regained his senses, and this matter will be a big deal, but he didn't pay attention to when Xia ran out.
Some things are so coincidental, and I ran out not long ago in the summer to meet Lao Xiatou. Summer cried and dragged his grandfather, and the little mouth sued.
Old man Xia first sent the people in the village to call Xia Aihua. He himself went to the barn, looked for a wooden stick, and went into the house.
Su Meili has a headache whenever she recalls this, and after that, it was really a joint venture. Zhang Qingshan is not a good cake, he accompanied Old Man Su to borrow money, but he was embarrassed to enter the door, maybe he was afraid that if he was present, he would have to pay back the money after borrowing. In short, he sat on the big stone near the village brigade and waited for Old Man Su.
I heard someone shouting Xia Aihua, saying that your father was fighting with others at your brother's house, and when I saw Xia Aihua running away as soon as he heard it, Zhang Qingshan also followed Xia Aihua after reacting. He guessed the temper of his father-in-law, and he couldn't make trouble by being angry. But I didn't expect it to start. If it is broken, who will pay for the cost of hospitalization?
Because of Zhang Qingshan's joining, it was completely disrupted. First, Old Man Xia entered the house and beat Old Man Su, and asked while beating back: "Why did you beat my granddaughter?" Which green onion are you! Why did you beat my son? You see your ears are bleeding! My son is too different from you to do anything. But I can, let's see who can kill whom! ”
Then the two old men, one with a bigger temper than the other, used force. A wooden stick is flailing, and a stool is swinging its legs. Xia Aiguo was not stupid at this time, and began to maintain a front with Su Meili and began to fight.
When Xia Aihua and Zhang Qingshan arrived, when they saw the excitement of the two in-laws' fighting, they also hurriedly joined the battle line and followed the battle. The bad thing is that Zhang Qingshan is playing tricks, and he pulls the sidelines. is to press the old man Xia, which means let the old man hurry up and beat it.
Xia Aihua and Xia Aiguo understood it and stopped doing it. Xia Aiguo was already on fire, mom! What's going on? Our own family is living a good life. Even my father will be beaten up when you come. Then roll the calves for me!
Xia Aiguo didn't care about anything. Pulled Zhang Qingshan and kicked on the ground, beating that Zhang Qingshan straight away, and finally lost one of his teeth, Xia Aiguo let him go.
Old man Xia was also frightened by Xia Aiguo's bravery. I couldn't care about whether I could do it or not, so I pulled Xia Aiguo instead. If you don't hurry up and pull the rack, just like Zhang Qingshan's little chicken, Xia Aiguo can beat him half-disabled.
What kind of mood did you say Su Meili was in at that time? She felt like the world was spinning. Originally, the work was heavy, and I was a little malnourished, so I rolled my eyes and dizzy on the spot.
Su Meili walked on the road, and as soon as she thought about this, she scratched her heart and lungs and wanted to turn her head and go home. You said that so many years have passed since this happened, but the relationship between Xia and Old Man Su is still not good.
Every time I go to my grandfather's house in the summer, I don't talk much. She is not a dull character, but she sits there without speaking, which gives people the impression that she does not like to deal with people and looks down on the Su family, so that the old man Su is even more disgusted with her. Old Man Su has long had a relationship with Xia Aiguo and Old Man Xia, but his relationship with Xia is extremely cold.
In addition, Su Meimei's second sister Su Aihua, who finally had a miscarriage because she had no money to be hospitalized, the old man and the old lady of the Su family had a grudge against Su Meili and Summer. felt that Su Meili didn't help her mother's family, which made them feel cold. The resentment against the summer is because of her fight. After that incident came out at that time, the two elders of the Su family were pointed at when they went out for a long time, and said that her family and the Xia family had climbed the family and exposed their scars.
Summer followed with low eyebrows and mournful eyes, and did not look up until he entered the gate of the Su family. Look around and start looking. The house was quite big, but it looked like it was going to collapse. It is estimated that this earthen house has been quite long.
Xia Dong jumped and jumped with a big black dog in the yard, summer annoyed Xia Dong, the dead child can't see the height of his eyebrows, you said that he didn't find her sister I'm unhappy?
"Come on, come in and sit down." Grandma Su is much taller than Grandma Xia, and she looks old, and it is estimated that her life is not as comfortable as Grandma Xia. He was wearing clothes with patches.
Su Meili hurriedly took the dustpan in the old man's hand, helped pick up the beans, and chatted with the two women sitting at the door.
In the summer, he entered the house with Xia Aiguo. Cousin Zhang Xiu hurriedly came up to pick up the things in Xia Aiguo's hand, and smiled a little shyly. Summer took a closer look at this introverted cousin. is not bad, not as tall as her little chicken daddy, more with the old Su family. Small squinted eyes,The skin is a little dark.,Ordinary appearance.,Look shy.,A little timid.,Summer guesses maybe it's caused by not being taken seriously in this home.。
Old man Su nodded to Xia Aiguo and said hello. Then he shouted at the door to Xia Dong. It can be seen that he really likes Xia Dong.
Xia Dong's face was like this for a while, and the black marks were like ghost drawings. Summer forced herself not to stretch out her hand, she was afraid that she would wipe her face and hands through Xia and winter, and Old Man Su should find her stubble again. In her memory, the picture of looking for her grandfather to avenge herself is very profound, so she also knows the allusion between her and her grandfather's family.
Su Meihua had a big belly and shook over with melon seeds. In the summer, when she saw her second aunt spitting melon seed skin on the ground, her mouth was still stained with a star and a half of melon seed skin, and as soon as she spoke, she felt unbearable when she was foaming at the corner of her mouth, and forced her eyes to look away.
"Your second brother-in-law took soybeans and asked me for frozen tofu. Knowing that I am pregnant with a child and loves to eat that, no, I am afraid that my son will be hungry, so I will find it all over the village. Su Meihua said to Su Meili in a loud voice.
"That's a good feeling, it just so happens that the second brother-in-law comes back, let's make tofu vermicelli and stewed fish."
Su Meihua was choked. She didn't plan to take it out for everyone to eat, her sister was annoying when she was young, and she didn't like to listen to what she said.
Su Meili pondered: I'll make you stink. It's been decades, and who doesn't know how you're doing. It's just that you lack the heart and eyes, and you listen to Zhang Qingshan's provocation for everything, so that your father has been lukewarm with you for so many years. I can't figure it out.
Su Meili observed the sullen expression of the summer, she recalled the past on the way, and found that her mother had a big mouth, only to know that it was his mother who was doing the work at home alone. Old man Su doesn't look tall, he is only responsible for earning centimeters in the field, and he doesn't know anything at home, so no one says anything, the old ladies in the countryside are like this, and the oil bottles in the house are poured and they don't support the master. But Zhang Qingshan's family of three didn't do anything, her second sister said that she was afraid that the child would not be able to raise it and have to rest, Zhang Qingshan drank all day and went out to play cards with the people in the village, Zhang Xiu did some work, but she had to prepare to make her own clothes and quilts or something to get married, her second sister just entered the house from someone else's house and just came back, you said that she had the kung fu to go out and talk nonsense with others, and she didn't have the time to go home to help her mother cook a meal? The temper is a little overwhelming.
Su Meili wanted to reason with her second sister, but her mother pulled her and said that she was willing, but don't scare the child in Su Meihua's belly.
Xia Aiguo took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, and quietly said to his daughter-in-law: "Let's have lunch with this." You go and help your mother cook, let's not have dinner here at night, there are many people and my mother is still tired. Su Meili nodded, and stopped talking. Xia Aiguo: "You are married, don't worry about your mother's family affairs." Su Meili immediately went out to help her mother Zhang Luo have lunch.
Lunch is tofu vermicelli and fish, pasted flatbread, and bud rice noodle porridge. Stir-fried shredded potatoes and fried meat with shredded dried eggplant, the amount is quite sufficient.
Zhang Qingshan came back when he was about to eat. knew that Su Meili went back to her parents' house today and came back with a little food. But people are better than Su Meihua will say, and directly give the frozen tofu to her grandmother in the summer, saying that it is to add a dish, and my sister and brother-in-law rarely come back for a year, and it is not easy for him to ask for this thing with others. Then greeted and chatted with Xia Aiguo enthusiastically. People don't need Xia Aiguo to say anything, as long as he gives a response, he can be responsible for talking about topics one after another.
During the meal, Su Meihua picked up vegetables for the summer, and the summer aimed at her second aunt's somewhat dark neck. I feel a little guilty of each other.
How long has it been since her second aunt took a bath? Although it is not suitable to take a bath in the countryside in winter, her family, up to Xia Aiguo, down to the little mud child in Xia and winter, every once in a while they go back to the house to boil hot water to wipe their bodies, and wash their faces and feet every night, they have already developed a clean habit.
However, for her second aunt to pick up vegetables for her, Xia is very appreciative. In such a short period of time, she observed Su Meihua from her own perspective and found that she was not as annoying as she remembered.
Xia took the initiative to chat with Zhang Xiu for a few words. There was no way, except for Zhang Qingshan who was chattering non-stop at the dinner table, no one else spoke. Grandma doesn't like to squeak, and Su Meili has nothing to say to the old man except for caring about the body.
Su Meili didn't dare to talk nonsense. You said that she talked about life, and her second sister lived with her father and mother, not necessarily pulling them on them. This Zhang Qingshan climbs down the pole again, what if he talks about borrowing money to repair the house? She didn't have much money, so Su Meili simply shut up and didn't speak. Anyway, what should be asked should be cared about, and when picking beans outside, I told her mother.
Old man Su and Xia Qiu are both people who don't like to talk, the only one who is like a little jumping sao in Xia Dong, the little mouth is full of oil.
Looking for a topic in the summer, most of Zhang Xiu's responses were a shy smile, and the summer felt very boring. Let's start asking grandma how her body is doing. The old lady didn't talk much, and answered every sentence, but she couldn't expect her to start a new topic if she didn't go into detail.
In the summer, she was used to the happy atmosphere in the Xia family, and in the Su family, she was a little deflated. She really wants to have a good relationship with Old Man and Mrs. Su and change her original way of getting along. If nothing else, just for Su Meimei, she also has to try to learn to be close to her grandfather. The relationship is lukewarm, and it's not her mother who is embarrassed? The second aunt Su Meihua is very cooperative. When she finally left, Su Meihua still took Summer's hand and said with emotion: "Tiantian has grown into a big girl, and she is much more sensible than before." Your sister will get married in two days, don't forget to join in the fun to get married. ”
Summer agreed, and took the initiative to say to Old Man Su: "Grandpa, drink less and eat more, you have to pay attention to your body." In exchange for a cold snort from Old Man Su, the corners of his mouth curled. Summer is quite content, even if it is not in vain, at least there is a response.
Xia Aiguo and Su Meili both felt very gratified, children who do not hold grudges, have a broad temperament, are kind-hearted, and live an optimistic life, and they will not be bad in the future.
