Chapter 113: The limelight

In the winter of 1987, Lu Xiuzhi was out of the limelight because of her mink coat, which was the only one in the county, and she didn't even have the county magistrate's wife.

For this coat, she also specially asked Lu Aiqin to help spend more than 500 yuan from Harbin to buy a black mink hat as a match, which was matched with a new sweater knitted by herself, and a newly bought gold ring on her middle finger.

Shen Mengxi told her that married people should wear it on their ring fingers, and she wrapped a circle of red thread around the tail of the ring and put it on her ring finger, which was just right this time.

In fact, Lu Xiuzhi is very beautiful, whether it is inferred from Lu Xiufeng's appearance, or looking at the few blurry photos when she was young. It's just that she didn't have time to dress up a few years ago, and she always had gray and blue clothes, one is because she has many children and is busy with work, and the other is that the social atmosphere is generally like this, and women over forty years old have basically been classified into the ranks of old ladies, and they are laughed at when they are dressed.

This time, she was stimulated by Qi Huici, and she permed her hair and started her head, so she simply became bold.

Lu Xiuzhi, who is dressed like this, walks on the street, and the return rate is definitely 200%.

The women enviously stroked the mink fur on their coats, amazed and amazed at the price. These greatly pleased Lu Xiuzhi, and she found a self-confidence that she had never had before in the envious and appreciative eyes of people.

This mink coat simply cured Lu Xiuzhi's menopausal syndrome, whenever she was angry and complained that Qi Youheng didn't go home, Shen Mengxi intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the maintenance and accessories of the mink coat, she was bound to be attracted to attention, and her temper disappeared in an instant.

Nowadays, there are a few 10,000 households in Jiayang, but they are willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a piece of clothing for their daughter-in-law, but there is none, and even Lu Xiufeng gritted his teeth a few times and gave up.

He said to his sister that he would borrow a mink coat for his daughter-in-law to take pictures in the photo studio, but the clothes were taken, but Zhou Peiyi didn't wear them, "If you can't afford it, I won't wear it, why borrow someone else's one!" ”

Lu Xiufeng really wanted his wife to take a photo and be happy, but he ignored her self-esteem. He suddenly felt sorry for his wife, apologized repeatedly, and returned the coat to his sister in shame.

But other women don't all think so, there are really a lot of people who come to borrow clothes, the first one is Zhai Lijun, she wore a coat to the photo studio, stood in front of the background cloth and took two photos, and asked Zhang Xianfeng to accompany her to the river to take a lot of snow scenes.

Later, people came to borrow it one after another, and the photographer of Chaoyang Photo Studio, roughly estimated, during this period of time, there were more than 20 people wearing this coat to take pictures.

There are more people who are embarrassed to speak because the relationship has not reached that point, and they are worried that they will not be able to afford to pay for the damage and soiling of others.

During the Spring Festival in 1988, the Qi family still gathered together, but this year's snow road was not good, and Qi Youfang's family did not come back. The Qi security guard did not take home leave and did not come back, and everyone else arrived.

Qi Baokang, who had just been assigned to the Railway Public Security Department, also returned, and in the past few years, he has changed a lot, as if he has regarded himself as a native of Kazakhstan, and he is also very careful about his words and deeds. He sat next to Old Man Qi and respectfully told him about his work, "Master, I just graduated, I should do more work, and the leader takes special care of me." Yes, I can drive now, and I know all the roads in Harbin City. The unit is not divided into houses, and my qualifications are not enough. ”

Old Man Qi smiled with relief, in the past six months, the haze that has shrouded his heart because of the patients at home has also dispelled a lot.

Qi Baokang also specially gave Zhang Fengling a handheld Xiuzhen radio. Zhang Fengling has been in an extremely bad mood recently, and she hates almost everyone who can walk upright, but today's uncle's careful words made her cry.

When everyone faced her mania, they were helpless and irritable, only Qi Baokang didn't mention her condition, just smiled and taught her how to adjust the stage, and said that last year's Lantern Festival she sang "On the Field of Hope" was particularly good, sighing that she couldn't listen to it this year because she had to go back to work.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qi Weidong wanted to carry his mother to the Nanwu Kang, Zhang Fengling refused, the Nanwu is her grandfather's house, she has rarely sat on the Kang over the years, and now it is even more impossible for her to lie on it.

Later, Qi Weiqing thought of a way, tied her to a chair with a cloth bag, covered her with a thin blanket, and let her half-lean against the wall and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the large table underground.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was handled by Qi Youde and Qi Baoliang, Jin Ping couldn't smell the smell of oil smoke, and Qi Zhoushi and Lu Xiuzhi helped to help.

Old Man Qi spoke, talked about the happy news of the family's imports, and also said the blessing of Zhang Fengling's physical recovery, and told his children and grandchildren to work hard and study hard.

Zhang Fengling also had a faint smile on her face, and the Qi family was beaming with joy after a long absence.

Halfway through the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Fengling's face suddenly changed, and Qi Weiqing, who had been sitting beside her, quickly picked up her mother and sent her back to her room, everyone was stunned for a while, and then they all smelled a strange smell.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Shen Mengxi noticed that Jin Ping covered her mouth and nose, and Qi Baoliang's drunken and red face also flashed with obvious disgust.

Lu Xiuzhi looked left and right, put down the chopsticks, and followed Zhang Fengling's room.

Qi Zhou also sat on the edge of the kang, sighed, and followed.

Zhang Fengling was beating her legs desperately, biting her lip to prevent herself from crying, and when she saw her mother-in-law and Lu Xiuzhi, tears slid down, "Mother! I'd better die! ”

"It's the New Year, you're looking for a fight!" Qi Zhou stopped her.

"I lived to be in my forties, and I didn't do anything hurtful, how did I get to this point, and I didn't have any face at all!" Zhang Fengling whimpered in a low voice.

"Okay, Wei Qing, go back to the South House, just me and your milk here."

Qi Weiqing glanced at his mother sadly and slowly returned to the south house.

Although Zhang Fengling is now only more than eighty pounds light, she can't move, and it takes a lot of effort to turn her over and scrub her.

She shook her head and refused to go to the front room again, saying only that she was too tired to sit still and wanted to listen to the radio.

Qi Zhou also knew that she was ugly, and she would definitely refuse to go to anyone again, so he threw the dirty diaper into the snow in the backyard, washed her hands with Lu Xiuzhi, and returned to the south house.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter, and continued to tell some interesting stories to adjust the atmosphere.

After making a glass of wine, Qi Baoliang cried.

Shen Mengxi didn't want to hear him cry like a donkey, and she didn't want to listen to Qi Youde's words to teach him, so she quietly came to the door of Zhang Fengling's room.

Zhang Fengling was listening to the radio, and when she saw Shen Mengxi, she lowered her eyelids and ignored her.

To tell the truth, in the entire Qi family, Zhang Fengling is most envious and jealous of this sister-in-law. She often thinks that if she was a child, she would only be able to get one-tenth of her sister-in-law's favor!

She has two older sisters, a younger sister and a younger brother, and she has never received the slightest bit of fatherly love since she was a child, and her parents only love her younger brother. Otherwise, when she met Qi Baoliang back then, she would not have been deceived by a few soft words from him. For more than 20 years, she has worked hard, the work in the field at home is grasped, and she has given birth to three sons, but no one cares about her mother's family. "There are so many children in the mother-in-law's family that I can't count them on two hands, and the girls are even rarer.

She felt that God was really unfair, she had a job, and she was easy to enjoy; The fourth aunt is the same age as her, and she is even more lucky, the brothers in the family take care of her, and the fourth uncle is decent and capable.

Now she has become a paralyzed person, eating on the kang and pulling on the kang.

She felt like the unluckiest, most person in the world.

Shen Mengxi stood at her door for two minutes, and Zhang Fengling listened to the radio with her eyes down.

Shen Mengxi shook his head and walked back to the south house gently.
