Chapter 199: Plan
After Zheng Rin went to the field, Guo Mianmian took a needlework dustpan to collect the soles of his shoes under the tree as usual. The outline of the sole is large and thick, and at first glance, you can tell that it was made for Zheng Rin.
Suddenly, two little wives and children came over, and without Guo Mianmian shouting, he consciously moved out of the chair from the house and sat down.
The husbands of these two little wives are all Zheng Rin's brothers who have not come out of the five suits, and they are slightly younger than Guo Mianmian. Guo Mianmian can call them casually, according to the names of their respective children, one is called Shi Niang, and the other is called Zhu Zi Niang.
The three of them were busy with the needlework in their hands, chatting about all kinds of gossip they had heard. Most of the time, it is the stone lady and the pillar mother who are talking, and Guo Mianmian praises it twice on the side, which often makes the stone lady and the pillar mother say more funny gossip.
Just when the air was warm, Zheng Chunxiang, who had just finished boiling water, came over with a kettle and filled the cup of the three of them. After Zheng Chunxiang finished adding water and walked away amid Guo Mianmian's thanks, Shi Niang's gossip suddenly shifted to her: "Your sister-in-law has been at your house for almost ten days, right?" Why haven't you gone back yet? ”
Guo Mianmian would not say that her mother-in-law didn't want her daughter to go back to her mother-in-law's house hard, and wanted to keep her for a few more days to live a more relaxed life, so she found a more convincing pinch: "My sister-in-law's home is far away, and there are children at home who can't let go, so I finally took advantage of this opportunity to come once, and naturally wanted her to stay for a while, and then go back when she was tired of living." ”
The sister-in-law wanted to go back a long time ago, but she was afraid that she would be late and would have to be quarreled with by her mother-in-law's family. If it weren't for Brother Rin's promise to send her back to her mother-in-law's house in person, her mother-in-law would not dare to persuade her sister-in-law to stay with tears in her eyes, so as not to anger the Fu family and cause trouble to her daughter.
After hearing this, Shi Niang was surprised: "Her mother-in-law's family allowed her to stay in her mother's house for so long?" Every time I went back to my parents' house, my parents kept me for one day and then drove me away the next day. Even if I didn't leave, Shi and his father rushed to pick it up, saying that there was no one at home to cook and wash clothes. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Niang's face was vaguely complacent. In her opinion, it is a very honorable thing for a woman to do laundry, cook and take care of her children, so that her man can understand her nervousness in this regard.
Not to mention Shi Niang, most women in this era think like this, as if the price of their existence is completely paid for having children and tedious housework, thinking that gaining the approval of men or in-laws is a great reward for themselves.
"Come on, don't show off, who doesn't know that your mother-in-law will praise you for being virtuous when she meets people, saying that her son is blessed to marry such a good wife as you."
Guo Mianmian pretended to be dissatisfied, and showed a little admiration in a timely manner, but there was some glory in her heart for no reason.
She is glorious in the eyes of her own man, she is a self-reliant person, even if he has the same macho thinking as countless men, he respects her from the bottom of his heart, and even fulfills the promise of the wedding night to wash her feet regularly every day.
Although she has been here for several years, she does not agree with Shi Niang's thinking in her heart, and she also knows that this kind of thinking cannot be changed in a short period of time or with the power of one person, and she has never thought about changing anyone. Now when I see the appearance of the stone lady, I just sigh in my heart.
"That is, when I see the sky, I listen to you show off, which really makes people want to hold a needle and thread to your mouth." Zhu Ziniang really admired it, she asked herself that she was the same as Shi Niang, she grabbed it at home and abroad, but she couldn't get the approval of her mother-in-law's family.
Especially her mother-in-law, she is not so hateful to her, she always picks her in front of outsiders, and her man knows that what his mother said is wrong, and he doesn't dare to say a word for her. Such a comparison is really disgusting.
"Oh, where, women, don't they all come here like this?" When Shi Niang heard this, the smile on the corner of her mouth was even more difficult to hide.
She knows how to measure, even if she deliberately shows off every time, she will not go overboard, so as not to attract hatred, so she shifted the topic to Zheng Chunxiang: "Your sister-in-law is a very honest person, but she is too honest, even if her mother's family is far away, she will not return once in a few years, and it is normal in the past two years." ”
Even if the Zheng family has never mentioned it in it, the fact that Zheng Chunxiang is not treated well in her mother-in-law's family may be guessed. As Shi Niang said, no matter how far away her mother's home is, it is abnormal if she does not return for a few years. When the Zheng family didn't know, the people in the village didn't know how many times they talked about it in private.
Guo Mianmian didn't take these words very easily, but smiled: "I just got married, and I don't know what the environment is, my sister-in-law is really a hardworking and filial person, and no one with eyes can not see this." ”
Shi Niang and Zhu Zi Niang only knew that Zheng Chunxiang was very honest, and when they were girls, they were also caught outside the family, and they didn't know what it was like to go to their in-laws' house.
Hearing Guo Mianmian say this at this time, Zhu Ziniang's mouth naturally approved: "Yes, we women have little strength, so we can't work hard to make money like men, and we can only take care of the family so as not to distract men." ”
Based on the fact that many people don't want to see the creature of the sister-in-law, Shi Niang is very surprised that Guo Mianmian will speak for the sister-in-law: "It seems that your sister-in-law is really good, my sister-in-law is impossible, every time she returns, she picks me off, and she is still transferred in front of my man and mother-in-law, I don't say anything in front of me, but if someone says that she is not very good, I will definitely not speak for her." ”
"My sister-in-law is really good, she respects me as a sister-in-law, and she has never been in front of my mother-in-law, I admire the Fu family for having such a good wife as my sister-in-law." Guo Mianmian really can't find a trace of Zheng Chunxiang who is honest, if there is something that makes her disagree, it is her character, she is too soft and has no idea.
Such a shortcoming is not at all in doubt in the eyes of the vast majority of people at the moment, and even in the eyes of the in-laws, it is impossible to have more roles.
This time, she tried her best to say good things about her sister-in-law in front of outsiders, and she also hoped to win a reputation for her sister-in-law in front of outsiders. She always had a bad premonition, thinking that her sister-in-law would completely turn against her in-laws sooner or later.
If there is such a day, the sister-in-law will inevitably return to her mother-in-law's house. With her nature, all the bad words and rumors in it can drown her when the time comes. If you can build a reputation for your sister-in-law before this kind of part-time job happens, then no one will talk about your sister-in-law's wrong.
When the time comes, the two of them will take the responsibility on their side, and in the eyes of outsiders, they will only think that the sister-in-law is innocent, but there will be no harm to them.
Shi Niang and Zhu Zi Niang didn't know how long Guo Mianmian had combined, and when they saw her sincerely praising Zheng Chunxiang, the sister-in-law, it was easy to believe that Zheng Chunxiang was really good, and they admired Guo Mianmian for a while.
The three of them talked and laughed and worked all morning, and the work at hand was not put on hold, Guo Mianmian even took a sole in one go, that is, his hand was out of strength, and it really hurt for a while.
When Meng Shi and Zheng Chunxiang planned to cook lunch, Shi Niang and Zhu Ziniang also put away their things and went home to cook. Until this time, they had a heartfelt admiration for Guo Mianmian, knowing that after they married into their mother-in-law's family, the mother-in-law in the kitchen would let go of the work in the kitchen, and they were the ones who were busy and tired of cooking and laundry.
After the meal was cooked, Guo Mianmian took out a handbasket from the utility room and came to the kitchen, and saw that her mother-in-law was loading vegetables into an empty bowl, so she said in a loud voice: "Mother, fill a little more food, I will send it to the field to eat with Brother Rin." ”
Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, or after listening to Guo Mianmian's words, he put a lot of dishes into the bowl, and didn't forget to prompt: "You porridge and eat pot porridge, I'll leave the porridge in the pot later, don't forget to eat it when you return." ”
"Uh-huh, thank you, mother!" Guo Mianmian smiled and thanked him, opened the lid of the pot and put two large bowls of rice in the basket, put the boiling water that had been cooled in advance, shouted to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law and sent it to the field.
Guo Mianmian carried the basket that was not light, walked through several thin ridges, and finally arrived at the Zheng family's land. At this time, Zheng Rin was still driving cattle to plow the land, and he had already cultivated most of it, and he would continue after eating and resting, and he would be able to finish plowing in the next day.
Zheng Rin was very happy to see his wife and son come to deliver the food in person, so he stopped, took the bridle off the cow's neck, put the ox rope around its neck, and let it find grass to eat by itself.
The rice in the field has long been harvested, and the stubble left in the field has turned out new shoots that are feet long. The cow eats these sprouts very porridge, and when it is released, it moos and rushes down to the field, and the long tongue rolls and eats it, without worrying that it will run away.
"Let's go down to the tree." The noon sun was a little poisonous, Zheng Rin looked at his wife's face that was a little red from the sun, took the basket in her hand with one hand, and led her to the big tree not far away with the other.
Sitting under the big tree, it is indeed much cooler. When Zheng Rin washed his hands and returned, he opened the lid on the food, and when he saw two pairs of chopsticks, he knew that his wife and son were going to eat with him, and kissed her happily on the face.
"Virtue, hurry up and eat!" Guo Mianmian glanced at him, picked up a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into his hand, and uncovered the lid on the rice bowl.
The Zheng family's cooking is very good, and the condensation is generally rice and flour, and occasionally if you want to change the taste, you will mix some sweet potatoes into it and cook it into sweet potato rice. The vegetables I eat are grown by myself, and I am very willing to put enough oil, and meat is indispensable, and I can almost see meat all of a sudden.
The couple tacitly agreed to give each other porridge dishes, and the ordinary meal made them eat sweet. After eating, the two of them washed the dishes and chopsticks with a pool of water not far away, returned to the big tree, and chatted against the trunk.
Just as the two of them planned to open up and do their own business, the short figure of Duohua staggered and found it in the field of vision, and she was heard shouting anxiously from a distance: "Uncle, aunt, a thug has come to the house——"
Emma, who has written several articles on cultivating the fields, seems to be the only one that can farm and go to the ground (*^__^*)
Seeing that Duohua was greatly frightened, Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin didn't ask anything, one blocked things and the other went to tie up the cow and hurried home.
Duohua is a seven-year-old girl, already very sensible, sobbing along the way and telling everything she saw and heard, Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin listened and analyzed her words, and gradually figured out the part-time commission.
After lunch, Duohua took his two younger brothers to play in the yard, and after playing, he heard someone banging on the door and shouting. Duohua didn't think much about it and ran to open the door, only to rush into three people who were so angry that she didn't understand at all.
Among the three people, an old man and an old lady, both of them seem to be older than Old Man Zheng and Meng; The rest was a young man who looked very little different from Zheng Rin.
Seeing that the three of them looked fierce, he had the courage to ask who they were, and they were pushed away. When she got up from the ground, the three of them had already broken into the house, and grabbing Zheng Chunxiang, who was coaxing Niuniu to sleep, was beaten violently.
Zheng Chunxiang
