Chapter 4: My Cousin's Secret
The next day was the weekend, Uncle Yong came back in the morning, his face obviously looked tired, as if he hadn't slept for two or three days, he fell asleep on the bed when he returned home, and there was no rice at home at ten o'clock, Yang Xiuying was ready to call Uncle Yong to get up and go together, Uncle Yong turned over and continued to sleep.
"Uncle must be tired, I'll go." I volunteered.
Yang Xiuying looked at me in some surprise, because we agreed yesterday that I would no longer do housework, on the condition that I would not tell what happened yesterday.
"I should do it, I don't need you to say that I will do it, it's not that I can't bear that hardship, but I don't want to be called by you as a servant." I said a cool reply and walked out of the house.
Yang Xiuying then followed, her face was a little complicated, after going downstairs, she drove, I sat in the co-pilot, went to the supermarket together, bought a barrel of oil, a bag of 25 kilograms of rice, and bought some fruits, I don't know if Yang Xiuying deliberately wanted to fix me, usually buy 20 catties of a bag of rice, today I actually bought 50 catties, and rapeseed oil is also the biggest stab.
Using other people's cattle to plough the land is really not worried about exhaustion, so I plough hard.
This is what my dad often says, because the family has cattle, some people often come to borrow cattle to plough the land, every time the cattle are almost tired half to death, my dad is distressed, but they are all relatives, and it's hard to say anything, next time someone else comes to borrow, or gritted his teeth to lend out.
However, the rapeseed oil and rice, adding up to sixty or seventy pounds of weight is not a problem for me at all, in addition to studying, I often do farm work, so that I have a strong body, now in the class, I am considered tall, fifteen years old, one meter seven, legs and arms are also thick, in the words of rural people, it is a long strip.
Carrying rice and rapeseed oil from the garage to the fourth floor, I still didn't change my face.
Yang Xiuying, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "Are you okay?" Want to help? ”
Damn, it's almost home before you ask me if I want to help, why did you go earlier? Hypocritical.
I grumbled in my heart and replied, "A man can't say no. ”
"How old are you? Brat. Yang Xiuying rolled her eyes.
"More than ten years ago, all the sixteen-year-old children in our village married their daughters-in-law."
"......" Yang Xiuying seemed speechless.
After returning home, Yang Xiuying was busy cooking, and her cousin was in the third year of junior high school, and the course was very tight, and now she is making up classes. Yang Xiuying didn't call me anymore, and there was no wayward arrogant little girl who commanded me, quietly, and rarely enjoyed the first happy weekend.
After eating in the afternoon, I came to the place where the bicycle was sold at the school gate, and spent more than 300 yuan to buy a new bicycle, which was one-seventh of all my savings.
If you walk from Uncle Yong's house to the school, it is estimated that it will take fifteen minutes, and the ride will be much faster. Originally, the morning exercise time was early, and if there was some delay on the road, I would have to get up at six o'clock in the morning. Think about the good time when I was in junior high school, I got up a minute before doing morning exercises, and ran to morning exercises without washing my face, but now it's gone.
When I went home at four o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Yong had already gotten up, but the atmosphere inside was a little wrong, Uncle Yong stood alone on the balcony, smoking silently, and seemed to be preoccupied. My aunt sat on the sofa in the living room, her face was as gloomy, she just glanced at me obliquely, and then continued to hold the remote control and pressed the button vigorously to vent her emotions.
Quarreled!
This is the first time I have encountered this kind of dull atmosphere at Uncle Yong's house, in the past, whenever there was a quarrel, it was Yang Xiuying who was teaching Uncle Yong a lesson, and Uncle Yong occasionally retorted a few words, but as long as it was more than ten minutes, no matter whether it was right or wrong, Uncle Yong honestly apologized, just as a punching bag, but today it was obviously wrong, and it was very stiff.
"Bang!"
Uncle Yong finally slammed the door and left.
"If you have the ability, don't come back." Yang Xiuying roared loudly.
What the hell is going on here?
It's the first time Uncle Yong has been so angry.
In the evening, Uncle Yong still didn't come back, I called him and said that he was worried about him, and he said that it was okay, just go out to calm down. When I asked why we were arguing, he didn't say.
Of course, I don't dare to ask Yang Xiuying at such a time, obviously looking for scolding. When my cousin came home, she kept the same opinion as me, not daring to ask, for fear of being scolded.
At ten o'clock, when I was about to go to bed, WeChat suddenly received a message, which was actually sent by Yang Xiuying: "Are you free?" ”
I quarrel with my husband in the afternoon, and I chat with other men in the evening, hum!
I felt a little contempt in my heart and replied, "Are you in a bad mood? ”
"How do you know?"
"Maybe it's a heart."
Yang Xiuying replied with a declining expression.
"What's wrong?"
I asked, after waiting for a long time, I thought Yang Xiuying didn't want to say it, but then Yang Xiuying sent a long message: "I quarreled with my husband, didn't I let go of the two-child policy this year, my husband has to have another child with me, saying that after leaving one for his old Li family, I will die in pain when I give birth to my first child, and now I am thirty-five or sixteen years old, if I have another child, this does not want my life?" And Xiaoqian is fourteen years old, she will soon go to high school, followed by college, and she has to pay off the mortgage, where is the extra money to raise another child? ”
It turned out that it was for this matter, Uncle Yong was the only son of the old Wu family, his parents died early, he joined the Yang family, and his cousin was born with his mother's surname Yang, which was Yang Xiuying's original condition, and Uncle Yong also agreed. However, Yang Xiuying is a teacher and a state official, and it was previously stipulated that she could only have one child. But now it's different, the country has relaxed the conditions and allowed to have a second child, Uncle Yong will definitely have some ideas in his heart, if Uncle Yong's parents are still there, and the family conditions are slightly better, he will not be a son-in-law
It's just that now it seems that Yang Xiuying really won't agree. Of course, having a child is not a trivial matter, this does not only include being born, but also having the conditions to raise it, and the burden of having an extra child will definitely be much heavier.
I thought about it and replied: "Your husband has his own thoughts, you also have your own ideas, in fact, no one is wrong, I think you should each calm down and talk about this matter, if you quarrel, you are sad, there is no need." ”
After that, Yang Xiuying complained to me for a long time, and I kept persuading, and I almost finished everything I could persuade people.
"I thought you were going to take the opportunity to divorce my husband." Yang Xiuying suddenly sent such a message, and it seems that she is in a much better mood.
Are you kidding? I just want to grab your handle and let Yang Xiuying divorce Uncle Yong? Uncle Yong knows that he won't strangle me yet.
I also added a few angry expressions in a row: "Sister Yang, I like you, and it is true that I admire you, but I am not the kind of villain who takes advantage of the situation, and now you have wronged me, which makes me very unhappy, and the consequences are very serious." ”
"What are the consequences?"
"I'm going to send you two pictures."
"Didn't I just send it to you yesterday?"
"Today, too."
"Lie in bed, tomorrow."
"Then take a picture of the bed, hehe......"
Yang Xiuying instantly sent a few hammers over, and then she continued to reply: "Thank you for enlightening me today, it's late, go to bed early, good night." ”
I was also sleepy, so I went straight to bed after a good night.
The next day, Uncle Yong still didn't go home, but he called to say that he had already driven the truck to pick up the goods, and I don't know if Yang Xiuying called to reconcile with Uncle Yong last night.
On Monday morning, between the second and third periods, I came to the door of the sixth class of junior high school, and the student ID card was still in the hands of Meimei that week, and I had to exchange it for the car repair fee, I am definitely not the kind of person who defaults on the debt.
"This classmate, can you help me call Zhou Meimei?" I stopped a male classmate from Class 6 and asked.
The student glanced back at the classroom, shook his head, and said, "She's not here." ”
"Absent?"
"You won't be the one chasing Zhou Meimei, right?" The boy asked.
"Chase her?" I was stunned again, damn, Zhou Meimei is only in the third year of junior high school, my brother doesn't like this kind of little girl, I immediately quickly explained: "No, I'm just looking for her something, you can see if she can help me tell me, just say that I will wait for her at the school gate after school, and I will give her the car repair fee." ”
"You'd better find it yourself, if she's not in the bathroom, she should be on the top floor."
"The top floor? Thank you. I politely replied and continued to climb the stairs.
The junior high school building is separate from the high school, with the junior high school building having only five floors and the high school having seven floors. On weekdays, the door to the roof is usually locked by the school, but some students always find a way to pick the lock open, hide on it, smoke, or bully people.
Someone at the top of the stairs looked at the wind and saw me going up, but he didn't say anything, as long as he wasn't a teacher, he wasn't afraid.
Pushing open the iron door, as expected, there were five or six students smoking on the roof of the building, four men and two women, one was Zhou Meimei, and the other was actually ...... Cousin!
My cousin actually smokes?
I couldn't react for a while, this little girl is only fourteen years old, and she actually follows these people to learn badly.
"Li Changshun, why are you here?" When my cousin saw me, her face changed, and she immediately put her hand holding the cigarette behind her back, my cousin never called me cousin, and at home I usually call him by his first name.
But now I don't care about that, what's her name, anyway, now that I've caught my cousin's handle, I'm actually smoking? If I told my aunt, she would definitely teach my cousin a hard lesson.
"You know each other?" Zhou Meimei wondered.
"You know each other, too?" My cousin was even more surprised.
"He was the one who crashed my electric car on Friday, I got his student ID, and now he's here to fix it." Zhou Meimei explained, then walked up and said, "A total of two hundred, bring money, right?" ”
"Fix a lamp for two hundred? You're blackmailing me. I immediately complained.
"Meimei said that two hundred is two hundred, what are you talking about?" The other three boys came up to me and looked at me with unkind expressions.
"If you want my money, you want my life." I was not timid at all, but glared at the three boys, paralyzed, Lao Tzu high school students are still afraid of you junior high school students? Besides, do you really think that Lao Tzu's thick legs and thick arms are white? Although the rural people are honest, they are not so easy to bully, and the three of them want to scare me, then you are wrong.
"Looking for a fight!" One of them walked up with his fist clenched.
"Then let's try to see who has the biggest fist and whose fist is hard." I clenched my fist too, visibly thicker than the guy's.
"Forget it, it's just a hundred." Zhou Meimei compromised first.
"Where's my student ID?"
"In the classroom."
"Pay the certificate in one hand and pay the money in the other."
"Flutter!"
Zhou Meimei laughed, "You are so interesting, it seems that you are trading illegal goods." ”
I followed Zhou Meimei down the stairs, and my cousin followed, and said with some flattery: "Cousin, you shouldn't be the kind of person who makes a small report, right?" ”
Yo, now you know how to call your cousin?
I laughed to myself, "That's up to you." ”
