45. Disgusting
Zheng Rin's plain face had more expressions, he gently touched his eldest niece's head, and his voice was as soft as his movements: "Uncle went out to do things, it's wrong for Uncle to worry about Duohua, Uncle will apologize to you." ”
With that, he flipped his palm, and a beautiful head flower was found in front of Duohua's eyes.
Duohua knew that this was a gift from the uncle, so she happily took the flower and shouted loudly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
At this time, Old Man Zheng Meng and the others also let go of the guys in their hands and came to Zheng Rin's eyes.
Looking at the eldest son who had lost weight and blackened, Meng's eyes were filled with tears: "You child, you have been gone for two months, and you are about to die of worry for your mother." ”
Xu is past a few decades have been too hard, Meng Shi looks much older than his peers, less than fifty but his face is full of wrinkles and many raised gray-brown patches, and his eye sockets are also deeply sunken, and he suddenly looks a little scary.
At this time, she looked at her son with red eyes, stretched out her hand to touch his face, and found that her son was too high and her hand couldn't reach it, so she put it down a little dejectedly, and then said with a smile: "It's good to return, it's good to return, this time I will stay at home for a while, and let my mother make up for you." ”
Facing her mother's concern, Zheng Rin's heart fluctuated slightly, and she couldn't even make an indifferent expression on her face, and nodded under her mother's expectant gaze: "The things inside have been done, this time I will rest at home for a while, my mother doesn't have to be determined to work for me." ”
Meng Shi was overjoyed, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't work hard, don't work hard, my mother can't wait for you to be at home every day, and cook for you every meal." ”
"Hmm." Zheng Rin replied lightly, not wanting to bother with this little thing.
It's been more than a year since I returned, even if the family has lived together for a while, there are not many things that are not exciting in the times, and the knot has already been formed, how can it be so easy to untie.
The old man Zheng on the side was also very happy, and a smile appeared on his face that had been affected by illness for many years, and he wanted to ask about some things, but he thought that he would not say anything when he asked about his son in the past, and changed his words when he came to his mouth: "Boss, I am very tired all the way, do you want to go and rest first, and then ask you to eat when the food is cooked?" ”
Zheng Rin wasn't very tired, so he shook his head and took the hoe from Zheng Shanqing's hand: "No need, I'll dig the vegetable garden, you can take the second and third children to unload the things on the carriage and put them in place." ”
Before Old Man Zheng could say anything, Zheng Shanqing and Zheng Shuiqing's eyes lit up. First, it is a blessing to be able to dig the garden out of touch temporarily, and secondly, they are just as sorry for Zheng Rin, the eldest brother, and they can't wait to get as far away as possible.
As if he was afraid that Zheng Rin would bring them back, Zheng Shuiqing hurriedly pulled Zheng Shanqing to run in the front yard, and did not forget to turn his head and tell Zheng Rin: "Big brother, the matter of digging the yard will be handed over to you, and I will come to help you after moving things with my second brother." ”
Soon, the two men slipped through the back door and disappeared.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Old Man Zheng didn't know the thoughts of the two sons, he shook his head helplessly and didn't follow, and said to Zheng Rin: "Just hand over the things in the car to the two brothers, Dad is here to fight with you, and let your mother go to cook dinner." ”
Zheng Rin looked at the sky, saw that the sun was about to set, so he did not refuse, and saw that Meng Shi slapped the dust on his hand and really wanted to cook, he frowned and said: "Dinner will be left to Ma and Niu, it is too hot for you or less women in the kitchen." ”
There are no two wives married in the family, and the mother-in-law has to go to the kitchen to support him. Only when you are busy do you have no energy to discuss the rights and wrongs of other people's families.
Meng Shi leaned back sharply and looked at his eldest son excitedly. This sudden concern really shocked her!
Zheng Rin lowered his head as if unintentionally avoiding Meng's burning gaze, rolled up his sleeves and dug up the vegetable garden.
Seeing this, Meng's sparkling eyes gradually dimmed.
The equally shocked old man Zheng came back to his senses, and when he saw his wife so quickly, he hurriedly urged: "The boss has said so, let the eldest wife cook with the second wife tonight, and you can watch from the side." ”
Meng nodded lonely, handed over the remaining vegetable seeds to Old Man Zheng, glanced at his eldest son with a mixed look, and went to the front yard to call the two wives with slow steps.
As always, Zheng Rin just buried his head in the ground and didn't say a word.
……
Ma and Niu are not the wives they like. One has too long a mouth, and asks about porridge everywhere, except for farm and housework; The other seems to be honest in his duty, but every time he has to work, he always hurts here and feels uncomfortable there, and he almost never touches the laundry and cooking at the end.
In the words of the villagers' private research, this is not two sons and wives, but two living ancestors!
It just so happened that Meng's temperament was soft, and Ma was the only girl who did not dislike and was willing to marry Zheng Shanqing when the Zheng family was very difficult; As for the Niu family, they are used to saying beautiful things to deceive people, even if the Meng family knows that they are cheating and slick and don't like to work, it is not easy to use the identity of the mother-in-law to suppress them.
It's just that this time, Zheng Rin spoke in person, no matter how unwilling Ma and Niu were, they had to endure the discomfort and go to the stuffy and hot kitchen to cook, and they had to cook it well, and it was unpalatable, who knows if this is the punishment of the eldest uncle for them to discuss other family affairs?
If the food is not very delicious, the uncle will have more words to let them cook every day to practice their cooking skills.
The two of them sweated a lot, and they reluctantly burned a fairly rich dinner. They didn't dare to show their grievances openly when they had resentment in their hearts, but secretly complained to their respective husbands before dinner, saying that the eldest uncle should not return, and once he returned, he would have no merit.
Zheng Rin just pulled a carriage of good things back, maybe there is more silver in his hands, Zheng Shanqing and Zheng Shuiqing are thinking about picking out some of the two brothers in their hearts, where do they have the heart to listen to their wives and children muttering about these little things.
Faced with such an inconsiderate husband, not to mention how depressed Ma and Niu were, under the childish words of many flowers during dinner at night, the air on the dinner table was very good, and the family was talking and laughing.
Seeing the eldest uncle picking vegetables for his daughter with a smile on his face, Ma's depression jumped out, and he said in a sloppy manner: "The eldest brother is such a porridge child, it is better to ask a wife and son to give birth to a few daughters to be with Huahua." ”
As soon as these words came out, the air on the dinner table instantly cooled.
"Shut up, you can't stop your stinky mouth if you eat!" Zheng Shanqing glared at her mother-in-law who couldn't speak fiercely, and couldn't wait to turn back time and rush up to cover her mouth.
Ma repented as soon as he spoke, and saw that the expressions of his mother-in-law's family had changed, and he wanted to change the topic and expose it, but he knew that his husband would really reprimand himself in front of so many people, and he was shouted loudly for a while: "Where did I say something wrong?" Could it be that you hope that the eldest brother will be single for the rest of his life, and in the future, he will look at our children and grandchildren? ”
Ma's words seemed to have opened a hornet's nest, not to mention whether Zheng Shanqing and Zheng Shuiqing brothers had a little hope in their hearts, hoping that the eldest brother would not accept the birth of a son in the future and give him a step-son to inherit the family business he had worked hard for, but it pierced the hearts of Old Man Zheng and Meng.
Old man Zheng is a father-in-law, and he is not very good at yelling at his wife, but he glared at Ma with a blue face, and secretly looked at his eldest son's expression. Seeing that the eldest son's face was not happy or sad, he quietly coaxed the frightened granddaughter, and couldn't figure out what his son was thinking after all.
Meng didn't have the scruples of Old Man Zheng, but her temperament was too soft, even if Ma's words didn't listen, she couldn't do anything to quarrel with his wife, but she pointed at Ma and cried angrily:
"What are you talking about? Who doesn't want your eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law and have children and grandchildren? If your words get out, will our family's reputation be gone? Do you want the flesh and blood relationship of the three brothers? ”
Meng has two great wishes, one is to hope that Niu, the wife of his third son, who has not been pregnant for more than a year, can have a good letter; The other is that the eldest son was able to figure out finding a wife earlier, and it was very good that he could marry his wife into the door.
The first thing is enough, and there is no hurry to come, but there is room for the second thing. In the year when Zheng Rin went home, Meng's mouth was broken, and he even asked Yue Lao to find a suitable candidate, but Zheng Rin blocked him one by one, and he refused to start a family no matter how he persuaded him.
Now that Ma is saying this, it seems that they are being a father and mother to prevent their son from starting a family, how can this not make Old Man Zheng and Meng Shi feel heartbroken?
Once Yue Lao really came to the door to woo a good Qinglou woman, almost turned Meng's anger back, and drove Yue Lao away with a broom.
That Yue Lao was not a good man, and he was a person from the nearby village, and he was driven out of the Zheng family, but he suddenly shouted everywhere that the eldest son of the Zheng family was injured on the battlefield, and he refused to marry his wife and children when he was a man.
After this matter reached Meng's ears, Meng was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and he also made Zheng Rin, who had returned from going out, angry with him, and rushed to the Yapo's house, kicked the door of the Yapo's house, and beat the Yapo's son violently.
The reason for beating people is not that the father dies from the son. When the son can't restrain the mother of the dead husband, let your mother out and spray feces everywhere, what kind of son and what kind of man should you be!
Others didn't know that Zheng Rin came to the door to beat people to avenge the Meng family, but they only thought that they really let Ya Po say it, so they beat people in a rage.
For a while, there was a lot of talk about Zheng Rin's impossibility, as if he had seen Zheng Rin "impossible" with his own eyes.
Zheng Rin didn't care about this, but Old Man Zheng and Meng Shi cared, and privately they were also worried about whether Zongzi really hurt his body. It's just that they were frightened by Zheng Rin's revenge on the Ya Po's family, and they didn't dare to ask about Zongzi because they felt guilty in their hearts, and they usually didn't dare to mention the matter of becoming a family anymore, for fear of hurting Zongzi's self-esteem.
Now that Ma is saying this, it seems that they are being a father and mother to prevent their son from starting a family, how can this not make Old Man Zheng and Meng Shi feel heartbroken?
What Ma said was not really anxious for the uncle, it was just disgusting and disgusting.
