Zhou Chen first nibbled on a melon, ate a few strawberries, and said in a slurp: "I didn't expect to be able to eat these fruits at this time, it's amazing!" Everyone says that you have a spell, and you can also realize these fruits and vegetables that are only available in spring and summer in winter, and we still don't believe it, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and I have to believe it. His aunt, could it be that you really have a spell? ”

Zhou smiled awkwardly and explained, "Where do we have any spells? If there is a spell, it is also a capable person under the hands of King Rong, who can conjure these things as if he was magical. My family Yue'er is just helping others sell King Rong, and as for planting, we don't even ask. ”

These words were taught to her by Chi Yue.

Although Zhou felt that it was wrong to lie and deceive people, it was even more wrong to hide something from his mother's family, so he couldn't help but feel a little weak when he said it.

But if you tell the "truth", can people believe that there is a dungeon in Chiyue, and there are many fertile fields in the dungeon, such nonsense? I'm afraid it's even more important to say that they are making up nonsense.

Zhou Chen's family had also heard about Chi Yue's friendship with King Rong, and now he was even more convinced, so he didn't dare to accuse and slander Chi Yue like last time.

"Your family Yue'er is really capable, and if you can have a relationship with King Rong, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth." It is rare that Zhou Chenshi is willing to praise Chi Yue.

But these words sounded so harsh and ugly to Zhou's ears.

If you have a relationship with King Rong, you can be considered capable? Why does this seem to be as if Chi Yue intends to cling to the powerful and hook up with King Rong is unclear?

Zhou didn't speak, but his face was very unsightly.

Zhou Chen didn't seem to know that his words had offended people, but he still smiled, lifted the cloth cover on the basket on the side, and revealed more than a dozen eggs, and said to Zhou with a straight face: "Child, my aunt, I didn't bring anything else this time, so I brought these dozen eggs." In your opinion, it may be too little, but our family background, at most, we can only use these as gifts to give away, and we really don't have the face to take it out. We have been saving these eggs for more than a month, and we are reluctant to eat them, so we have brought them all to you, do you dislike them? ”

Zhou Chen looked at Zhou intently, waiting for her to speak.

Although these dozen eggs are indeed insignificant in the eyes of today's Zhou. Their black chickens are stacked in a big basket every few days, and a big basket every few days. The dozen or so old hens and ducks that Zhou worked hard to feed were even more diligent, and they had to save hundreds of them while eating them a month.

Except for a small part of them, she took them to the market and sold them for money.

But after all, this was something sent by her mother's family, which made her feel a little incredible and flattered.

In the past, she only went back to her parents' house to get gifts, where was her mother's family willing to give her a little something? The old clothes she brought last time were the first gifts she received from her mother's family after marrying into the Chi family.

What she saw was not eggs, but her mother's sincerity to her.

Suddenly, her eyes were a little moist, and she had the urge to cry.

Could it be that Zhou Liu and Zhou Jie felt guilty about her and wanted to make up for it from now on, so it was like this?

Seeing that Zhou Shi was looking at the egg in a daze, his eyes were red, but he didn't squeak, Zhou Chen asked inexplicably: "Child, aunt, do you think that the ceremony I brought is not on the table?" That's fine, anyway, your family doesn't lack eggs, I'll take them back again. You're not rare, but we're rare like treasures. ”

There was still a faint resentment in his words, as if he was hurt by Zhou's "disdain".

As she spoke, she put the cloth cover on it again, and put the basket behind her feet, as if she was afraid that Zhou would regret it again and snatch it.

"I'm not disgusted with ......," Zhou quickly defended. But before she could finish her defense, she was interrupted by Zhou Chen.

"Child, aunt, dislike is disgust, don't lie to me in order to give me face. I can see your expression so really, isn't it disgust? I don't believe what you say, I know that you think our gift is light, and I don't like it. ”

Zhou Chen's words were reasonable, and the incommissible beak seemed to hold a knife to her neck, as if she would not believe Zhou's defense.

Zhou bit his lip and lowered his head to remain silent again.

There are more cases of her mother's strong words, and she has long been surprised, and the best way to deal with it is to remain silent and let them act.

Although she was wronged, she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her mouth.

"But although the gift has not been delivered, I have to make it clear, so as not to go back and be reprimanded by my mother-in-law and the child's father, so won't I be wronged?" Zhou Chen's first was arrogant, and then sighed, as if she was trying her best to suppress her arrogance, and performed that touching appearance, but she didn't know that in the eyes of others, her performance was so stereotypical and full of loopholes, "My mother told your brother that they knew that they shouldn't have come to your house to make trouble last time, and at that time they were just impulsive and turned a good thing into a bad thing, which was also something they didn't think about earlier." You are in charge of your family's affairs, and they can't take care of it in the first place, but from now on, you have asked them to take care of them with hundreds of taels of silver, and they still won't come! ”

"My mother also said that she knew that you went to Zhoujia Village to borrow grain the year before last but didn't get it, and you must have hated her so much that you won't come to our door from now on. She said that at that time, the family was really poor and scumbag, and she really couldn't get extra food, and I hope you don't misunderstand her and blame her. However, she also knew that she was wrong, so she only said that even if she borrowed some from the outside at that time, she should give it to you, and asked your family to tide over the difficulties first. ”

"The child's aunt, the child's father also said that he knew he was wrong, he shouldn't have beaten you and scolded you again and again, and he would never do it again in the future. He will be your good brother again, and I hope you don't stay away from him and don't recognize him as a brother. ”

"The child, his grandmother, and his father, but they are looking forward to you going back to the house, so as to make up for the debt you owed in the past! Aunt child, since everyone in our family bows their heads to you and compensates, you give us a face, don't worry about us anymore! ”

Saying that, Zhou Chen also took advantage of the situation to lower her head and wipe the dry corners of her eyes a few times, and her extremely sad appearance made people think that she was repenting to Zhou for herself, not just a messenger.

Even if Zhou Chen's attitude changes too quickly and her performance is contrived, a discerning person can see that she is deliberately pretending, and will question the authenticity of her words. But Zhou was completely enveloped by these words, and he was so moved that he burst into tears, and he couldn't help himself.

When she was a child, she hoped that Zhou Liu could treat her and her brother equally, and put her in her eyes, and later suffered a lot under her hands, and hoped that Zhou Liu could know to repent, even if she said sorry to her, she was very content.

So is Zhou Jie.

Thirty years later, when she did get their apology, she felt so unreal, as if in a dream.

Seeing that Zhou was crying, it took Zhou Chen a long time to suddenly come to his senses.

Originally, when her mother-in-law asked Zhou Jie to come alone to pass the word, she only felt that her words were very empty and useless, and she never expected that these short words would have such a great impact on Zhou.

It seems that Zhou Liu and Zhou Jie are the two most familiar with Zhou, and they have a thorough understanding of her temperament. So in the future, wouldn't they be able to pinch her as much as they wanted?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's was overjoyed, but he pretended to be bitter more and more hard, and followed Zhou's to talk about his past love and hatred, and conveyed the apologies of the other two to Zhou's in a stack.

"My mother and his father have taken so many measures, and they don't have the face to come to see you, otherwise they would have rushed to make amends to you in person." Zhou Chen sniffled and continued, "They just want you to go back to see your mother often, and the family often gets together. Mother is old, and I probably don't see you many times. The child's aunt, don't wait until the mother is gone, let's remember the duty of being a child, and then it will be really too late to regret it! ”

When Zhou heard this, he nodded again and again, stopped choking, and said firmly: "Brother and sister, don't worry, I will often go back to visit my mother in the future." You go back and tell your mother and brother, I never blamed them, they are all a family, there is no overnight feud, once they say it, they will turn big things into small things, just as if nothing happened. ”

Zhou Chen's saw that Zhou's should come down, and knew that his task was successfully completed, so he picked up the idea of the side again, walked into the courtyard and looked around, "Brother and sister, I heard that there are only your family selling those out-of-season vegetables and fruits, why don't you see these things?" My mother is looking forward to being able to eat some vegetables next to me in addition to cabbage and radish to change her appetite, otherwise I will be tired of eating and don't want to eat anymore. Ono is also clamoring for some melons and fruits, otherwise, she will have to ask me to go to the city to buy him a lot of candy and preserves. You also know that it's not good for the child to eat too much candy and preserves, and we don't have the extra money to buy these snacks for him......"

Speaking of which, they are all asking Zhou for out-of-season vegetables and melons and fruits.

Zhou hurriedly smiled and said, "Yue'er also transported some of those things, and now they are in the cellar." Yue'er and Xin'er can't spare time to take care of this stubble, and I and the other two villagers are still thinking of selling some at the market tomorrow to help them earn some extra money. There are so many vegetables and fruits, you can go with me and take as many as you want. My mother likes to eat tomatoes the most, so take more tomatoes, lotus root, cauliflower and cucumbers. As for Ono, bring him more strawberries, persimmons, and melons to eat, and some grapes, and he will definitely like it very much. ”

As she spoke, Zhou opened the backyard cellar, and Zhou Chen couldn't wait to go in first, and she followed behind. Seeing that Zhou Chen took it again and again, and couldn't take it himself, he asked Zhou to help hold it, and was ready to use Zhou's small cart to push it all the way back.

Seeing off Zhou Chen, who returned with a full load and staggered but happy, Zhou only felt relieved.

Being able to make friends with her mother's family again is something she dreams of. In the future, she has to move around to get there.
