Zhou Shixun glanced at Sheng Anning a little helplessly, and then greeted the people in the village.

Sheng Anning followed him, showing a well-behaved smile, but his heart was overjoyed, and he found that the older elders in the village all affectionately called Zhou Shixun Changsuo.

It's about the same as Zhou Shixun who calls him, Shixun or the second child.

The younger one is the second brother.

When Sheng Anning heard the end, he actually felt that the long lock was the most kind.

It wasn't until Zhou Shixun took her to a small courtyard that Sheng Anning reacted: "Who are we going to?" Don't you need to prepare some gifts? ”

Zhou Shixun said that he didn't eat at home, it was estimated that he was eating at someone else's house, and he didn't come back once for so many years, so it was not good to go to other people's houses empty-handed to eat.

Zhou Shixun glanced at Sheng Anning: "No, let's come over and take a look, go to the third uncle's house for dinner in a while, and go to the village store to buy things." ”

Sheng Anning sighed and followed Zhou Shixun into the hospital.

The yard is much smaller than the Zhou family, but it is cleaned up, there is an elderly woman, wearing clothes with patches, sitting in the sun with the soles of her shoes, seeing Zhou Shixun, she immediately put the things in her hand in the bamboo basket next to her and stood up: "Second child, when did you come back?" Yesterday, I heard from the villagers that you were back. ”

Sheng Anning was not surprised when he saw the woman's face clearly, this should be Luo Caixia's mother, Luo Caixia looks very similar to her, and she should have been a gentle and beautiful woman when she was young.

Along the way, Zhou Shixun didn't introduce Sheng Anning to his neighbors, but when he saw Luo Caixia's mother Wang Ying, he introduced: "Auntie, this is my daughter-in-law Sheng Anning, Anning This is Aunt Wang, Caixia's mother." ”

Sheng Anning didn't understand what Zhou Shixun's intention was in introducing this, and greeted Wang Ying with a smile on his face: "Hello aunt." ”

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, looked at Sheng Anning carefully for a few moments, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, hurry up and sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”

Zhou Shixun stopped: "No need, we still have to go to my third uncle's house." ”

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Wang Ying: "There is some money here, you take it and repair the house, don't look back and it will rain and leak." ”

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't, second brother, what are you doing, give money every time you come back, you said that I saved you once at the beginning, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Zhou Shixun insisted on putting the money on the windowsill: "This is what I should do." ”

Sheng Anning looked at it but suddenly felt better, this wooden man didn't seem to have anything to do with Luo Caixia.

If the two really talked about the object, he couldn't send money so frankly, and Wang Ying wouldn't refuse so politely.

After all, he is a person who has delayed his daughter's youth for several years, how can they be so polite when they meet?

If the two have nothing to do with each other, then why is it rumored that the two have talked about each other, and Zhou Shixun should marry Luo Caixia?

Sheng Anning's smart head turned around, and he immediately understood that all this was probably said by Luo Caixia.

Or it is clear that Zhou Shixun took something out of order to repay Wang Ying, and she didn't make it clear when others asked her.

After a long time, everyone will naturally misunderstand.

Sheng Anning sighed in his heart, looking at the gentle and lovely Luo Caixia, there is still such a white lotus attribute? Then I met a silent Zhou Shixun.

So what she says is what it is?

Wang Ying was a little anxious: "You said that you are a child, you are always so polite." ”

I still feel a little sorry in my heart, she also likes Zhou Shixun, a child who has grown up since he was a child, he doesn't like to talk but is thoughtful, he is relaxed in his work, and he is very responsible.

once wanted Zhou Shixun to be her son-in-law, and when everyone was talking about Zhou Shixun's relationship with her daughter, she also asked her daughter on the side, but Luo Caixia just said a few perfunctory words.

So she always thought that Zhou Shixun and Luo Caixia would become successful, until the people in the village came to ask Zhou Shixun if he was going to get married, she knew that the two had nowhere to go, and she also resented Zhou Shixun for a while.

Zhou Shixun didn't say anything more and left with Sheng Anning.

Wang Ying also chased to the door: "If you don't leave in a hurry, come over for dinner tomorrow night, Caixia will come back with a message and say that you will come back tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shixun didn't respond: "Besides, we have to go out tomorrow." ”

Wang Ying's face was full of loss: "Okay, you go slowly, and bring your daughter-in-law to sit when you have time." ”

Sheng Anning followed Zhou Shixun to the store at the entrance of the village, which is not called a store, but a non-staple food consignment point, which is very dimly lit, exuding the smell of soy sauce, vinegar and groceries.

Everything is very complete, biscuits, candy and meat.

Zhou Shixun weighed three catties of pork belly and two catties of liquor, and the salesman at the site obviously knew Zhou Shixun, and joked with a smile: "Changsuo, is this taking the new daughter-in-law to relatives?" Don't forget to send candy? ”

Sheng Anning then remembered that Zhou Shixun did ask her to buy candy, but she forgot about it.

Zhou Shixun bought two catties of fruit candy that had been ground off the color of the candy paper, grabbed a few and gave them to the salesman, and the other party took it with a smile: "I don't have a toothache after eating the candy, I wish you a good couple for a hundred years and an early birth to a noble son." ”

Sheng Anning didn't know what kind of expression the new daughter-in-law should put on at such a time, so she generously said thank you and followed Zhou Shixun.

There was also a group of children playing in the mud at the door of the sales agency, and Zhou Shixun gave everyone some of the sugar in his pocket before leaving with Sheng Anning.

Basically, when it was time for lunch, everyone in the village knew that Zhou Shixun led the new daughter-in-law back, and he was still handing out candy at the entrance of the village, and the new daughter-in-law was beautiful, just like the people in the painting.

Sheng Anning didn't quite understand why Zhou Shixun still went through this procedure? They won't stay in the village for long anyway, and they might have to get a divorce when they get back.

Thinking of divorce, Sheng Anning's thoughts are not so strong.

followed Zhou Shixun to a house in the middle of the village, which was also a low mud house, with firewood stacked around the yard, a pressurized water well in the middle of the yard, and a small square table next to it.

The yard is about the same size as the Zhou family, but it is very neatly tied.

Zhou Shixun took Sheng Anning into the hospital, and a small yellow earth dog wagged its tail and barked.

Soon an old man with a child came out of the house, and when he saw Zhou Shixun, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is the long lock back?" ”

Zhou Shixun nodded, his face was gentle that Sheng Anning had never seen before: "Third uncle, I'm back, what about the third uncle?" ”

The third uncle was a little excited, and dragged the child over in a panic: "Sit down, sit down, I heard from the villagers yesterday that you came back with your daughter-in-law, and your third uncle said that you will be able to come in the next two days, and go to the mountains to catch rabbits in the morning." ”

As he spoke, he put the child aside, wiped the stool with his sleeve and gave it to Sheng Anning: "The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law sits down, she looks really good, there is one more girl." ”

Sheng Anning took the stool with a smile: "Thank you, third uncle, I'll just come by myself." ”

The third uncle asked Zhou Shixun and Sheng Anning to sit down, and was busy pouring tea: "This place in our countryside is poor and dirty, don't dislike it." ”

In their eyes, the people in the city are all superior, just like those educated youths in the past two years, many of them look down on them.

Sheng Anning smiled: "It's good, the third uncle is a diligent and clean person at first glance, and the yard is very clean." ”

The third uncle was embarrassed to be praised: "What is diligent, they are all idle and idle at home." ”

I went to bring two bowls of boiled water, and then I went to get a sugar jar, and dug a big spoonful of sugar into each bowl, and the two-year-old little guy next to him was so greedy that he hugged his grandmother's leg and refused to let go.

Although Sheng Anning is a newcomer, he knows that white sugar is a shunt-in commodity in this era, and it is available in limited quantities, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money.

Therefore, to be able to put so much white sugar, that is the standard for entertaining distinguished guests.

didn't need Zhou Shixun to speak, he directly picked up the cloth pocket on the table, grabbed a few fruit candies and stuffed them to the little guy: "Children, is it okay to eat this candy?" ”

She originally wanted to say that Auntie gave you candy, but it seemed that this title was not appropriate.

The third uncle smiled and bent down to pull the little great-grandson's arm: "Xiaozhu go quickly, the second aunt will give you candy, take it quickly." ”

Xiao Zhu looked at Sheng Anning, grabbed the candy from her palm, and timidly hid behind the third uncle's leg, leaning out a small face and looking at Sheng Anning shyly.

The third uncle sat down after being busy, pulled Xiaozhu and leaned on his arms, beckoned Sheng Anning to drink sugar water, and said to Zhou Shixun: "This is Changdong's son, almost three years old, his mother is pregnant with him, Changdong went to the north coal mine to make money, the coal kiln collapsed, and no one came back, and his mother left after giving birth to him." ”

Zhou Shixun was a little shocked: "Changdong is gone?" ”

The third uncle sighed: "Yes, this person is short-lived, and he has been gone for three years, leaving a poor child." ”

Zhou Shixun furrowed his brows, obviously unable to accept this bad news.

The third uncle touched Xiaozhu's head: "Leave this little pitiful, he is almost three years old and can't speak." ”

Xiao Zhu lowered his head and peeled the candy awkwardly, not caring what the adults were saying, the fruit candy was stuffed into his mouth, and he grinned happily at the third uncle.

Sheng Anning listened to the overflow of sympathy, this child is really pitiful, and after a closer look, he found that Xiaozhu could hear the sound, and when the puppy barked, he turned around very cleverly.

looked at the third uncle: "Can I take a look at Xiaozhu?" ”
