CHAPTER 40
When Chen Yan returned to Zhiqing Point, the sun was already slanting in the west.
It doesn't matter if you go to Zhou's house, Chen Yan can be said to have eaten and taken it, and she has gained a lot.
Regarding the topic of mother-in-law and father-in-law, Zhou Guojun and Hong Xiumei have already felt a lot of problems from Chen Yan's attitude, although the two of them did not mention it later, but the two of them kept it in their hearts.
Then, as if to make up for Chen Yan's lack of fatherly and maternal love, the two of them were much more enthusiastic about Chen Yan than they were for Zhou An. It's as if Chen Yan is their biological daughter, and Zhou An just charged the phone bill.
Originally, Chen Yan thought that Zhou En would be a little jealous, but she didn't expect to look at Zhou An when she turned her face, and then she was burned by Zhou An's eyes full of spoiling.
At that moment, Chen Yan's thought in her heart was that in the future, it would be good to treat Zhou An as a son, boyfriend, and father together.
The lunch was very full, and a few people didn't eat much of the dim sum that Zhou An bought, and then all these dim sum were packed up by Hong Xiumei and given to Chen Yan.
Thinking of the hospitable couple, Chen Yan's heart warmed, such a father-in-law and mother-in-law can't find a second pair with a lantern, right? I'm really lucky!
Maybe it was because she moved to Zhou's house after deciding to get married, so Chen Yan looked at the educated youth spot not far away and felt a sense of nostalgia, and even Fang Lingling looked at it a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Today happened to be Fang Lingling's turn to cook, so Fang Lingling was now squatting in front of the stove with a reluctant face and putting firewood inside.
If people who don't know still think how much Fang Lingling has been wronged, in fact, they have always come in turns, and there is no unfairness at all! And not only Fang Lingling, the person who cooks, is reluctant, but also those who eat it.
Although Fang Lingling is not the most beautiful, the dishes she makes are definitely the most unpalatable recognized by the omniscient youth. Educated youth don't order much, and the daily meals are similar, according to reason, everyone should make the same, but Fang Lingling has the ability to make people eat differently. Everyone doesn't know why a simple soup, Fang Lingling is much more unpalatable than what others make, obviously it is the same steps!
So not only Fang Lingling, the person who cooks, is reluctant, but the person who eats is also unhappy, but she offended everyone as soon as she came, so no one is willing to cook for her, in short, they torture each other.
touched the snack in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief, and then, Chen Yan felt that her heart wanted to leave the educated youth point a little more urgently.
Obviously, I want to go back to Zhou's house again as soon as I leave, what should I do?
Chen Yan patted her face, let herself sober up, just endure it for a few more days, don't be too eager now, it's not a deal to catch up!
said to Fang Lingling, who was stuffing matches into the pot, "I won't eat tonight, you can get a little less." ”
Fang Lingling didn't raise her head, she knew who it was just by hearing the voice, and she ignored it: "You don't know what you're doing day by day, you don't know how to say it early if you don't eat, you are, Xiu Weier is too, you know how to make trouble every day." ”
Chen Yan rolled her eyes, looking at the portion, she bet that Fang Lingling definitely didn't cook her meal.
But she didn't say anything, and went back to the house directly, leaving Fang Lingling alone to scold there.
When Fang Lingling finished cooking, Chen Yan was the only one left in the room.
Chen Yan took out the letter she didn't finish last time:
To Comrade Chen Yanjun:
Now, her daughter Chen Yan has arrived in Zhoujia Village, Hulu Town, for more than a month, and there is a matter of ...
I don't know how long it took, there was movement outside the house, Chen Yan seemed to be startled, quickly came back to her senses, and then, little by little, tore the paper in her hand to shreds.
What's more, what hope does she have for that man now, maybe she will never contact him again to meet his heart!
Anyway, Chen Yan's mood inevitably fell, she couldn't even read the books, she packed up early, lay down in bed, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.
I don't know how long later, the door was pushed and moved lightly, and there was a "squeak" sound.
Cheng Yan opened her eyes, her expression was sober, and she didn't feel sleepy, it was obvious that she had been waiting for someone.
Xiu Weier put down the things in her hand, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw a figure sitting up on the bed in the dark, Xiu Weier was startled, and then recognized it as Chen Yan, and snorted angrily: "It's a big night, why don't you make a sound?" Scared me. ”
Chen Yan ignored the startled Xiu Weier, but stared directly at the burden that Xiu Weier put down. Although Xiu Weier knew that Chen Yan, who was blind in the black light, couldn't see anything nine times out of ten, she still couldn't help but feel a little weak, and stepped forward to block Chen Yan's gaze.
Chen Yan's voice was soft, and under the cover of the night, there was a hint of mystery and indifference, "I went out shopping with Zhou An today, and I saw a person who looked like you. ”
Xiu Weier's heart tightened, and her face remained unchanged, pretending to be curious and asked, "Oh? That's a coincidence, but I've been like this before, and I've seen a lot of people who look like it, so it's not surprising. ”
Suddenly, Xiu Weier remembered something, tilted her head slightly and asked, "Chen Yan, do you seem to have a good relationship with Comrade Zhou An?" We all went shopping together. Xiuweier didn't know why she felt sour when she asked this sentence.
The sentence that was asked unintentionally suddenly made Xiuweier's heart hurt slightly, and even the things that might expose herself were not so important, but she was bent on knowing Chen Yan's answer. It's like a criminal sentenced to death, waiting for the final judgment, and his heart seems to be slightly pinched by a big hand.
Chen Yan was a little puzzled, the matter between her and Zhou An before, but there was a lot of uproar, and the whole village knew about it. Then Zhou An made a fuss at the door of the educated youth point, and the entire educated youth point also knew about it. She didn't expect that Xiuweier didn't know about it.
However, thinking that Xiu Weier seemed to have gone out early and returned late these days, and she didn't have the time and energy to communicate with others, she understood a little more, and said slightly: "Brother An and I are about to get married, maybe we may move out to live." ”
It's ridiculous to say, after living here for a month, the news that she was going to move out at the end could only be shared with people who had been looking at her unpleasantly before, and I couldn't find a second person as miserable as her, right?
Even Chen Yan didn't know what kind of mentality she was holding to wait for Xiuweier here.
Sympathy? Maybe a little. She just thought of a girl she met in the last life when she was forced to go to the countryside and was in a similar situation to Xiu Weier, and finally was driven crazy.
But in addition to sympathy, there is an even greater impotence.
Even if you know that the person who sets up the stall on the black market is Xiuweier, so what? Did you persuade Xiuweier not to go again? But who wants to go to the black market? Who wants to go out early and return late in order not to be discovered, or even go hungry and guard the stall?
But if you want to help her, what can you do? All she can do now is help Xiuweier hide the news.
Helpless, powerless, and finally turned into despair, which was also Chen Yan's mood at the beginning.
Chen Yan in her previous life didn't have much feeling for the girl who was driven crazy, and it wasn't until she herself was almost driven crazy that she knew the helplessness of being in a desperate situation.
So when she saw this girl in a similar situation to the girl in her previous life, Xiu Weier couldn't help but wait here again and again for her to come back.
She thought about it a lot, from the beginning she wanted to urgently know if that person was Xiu Weier, and then she just wanted to see when Xiu Weier would come back, and her heart gradually calmed down, but her heart was more complicated.
Chen Yan, who had a somewhat complicated mind, didn't notice that Xiu Wei'er's face was slightly pale, and it became more and more crystal clear in the moonlight, like a jade that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Xiu Weier's lips squirmed, and her voice was a little hollow: "Dingjia, it turns out that you have come this far?" So when did you get married? "That's right, let me die.
"Fifteen of this month?" Zhou Guodong looked at Zhou An in disbelief, today is already the tenth year of the first year, and he will be married in five days, this is too anxious, right? "Does my mother know?"
Zhou An shrugged noncommittally: "Of course I know, this is something I discussed with my grandmother, and she is very happy." ”
Well, Zhou Guodong recalled that Zhou Xiuqin's usual expression of hating for Sun was really capable of this kind of thing.
"Isn't that a bit of a rush?" Zhou Guodong is still a little worried.
You must know that although there is a marriage and marriage because of the establishment of the republic, for the people of Zhoujia Village, the marriage is equivalent to marriage.
Because the woman can go to the man's house to live together, it doesn't really matter whether the marriage certificate is there or not.
Therefore, in Zhoujia Village, once someone is married, they have to prepare bride price money, meals for celebration and even pots and pans, which is as lively as when they get married.
Zhou Guodong didn't worry about the meal, he really couldn't do it, he could still go up the mountain to fight, and if he didn't work, he could kill his old hen, there was still a way.
But the bride price money and things are not easy to buy, not to mention three turns and one ring, at least there must be one turn, right?!
Three turns and one ring, referring to watches, sewing machines, bicycles and radios. Zhou An has a bicycle at home, but he can't give it away as a bride price.
It's not realistic to get a ticket in a few days and then grab a watch or a sewing machine. These things are all hot goods, and Zhou Guodong really feels that there is not enough time.
Anyway, Zhou Guodong still loves Zhou An very much, and he is worried about him in all aspects, big and small.
Zhou An also knew that he might be a little unreliable like this, but he already had a way, even if Zhou Guodong didn't say it, he didn't want Chen Yan to be wronged.
He must have the bride price and equipment for the family, which is not only the light on the face of the Zhou family, but also a kind of value for Chen Yan. From ancient times to the present, the more expensive the bride price paid by the man, the more it represents the importance of the woman.
