Chapter 36: Shame
Zhang Guodong came home from work at night, and Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang were sitting in the living room watching TV.
Zhang Guodong came back and said hello to Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang with a smile, Qin Lan had a bad face, pointed to the sofa next to him with a plain face, and said to Zhang Ziqiang, "Come here, Mom asks you something." ”
Zhang Ziqiang guessed in his heart that what Qin Lan wanted to ask should be about Li Qiuyue's father and her younger brother.
Zhang Guodong nodded with a smile, and sat opposite Qin Lan, and after Zhang Guodong sat down, Qin Lan looked at Zhang Guodong seriously and asked, "I heard someone say today that Li Qiuyue's father and his brother are here, is this true?" ”
Zhang Guodong nodded and said, "It's true." ”
Qin Lan asked, "What about them now?" ”
Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "Qiuyue has arranged for them to live in the guest house. ”
Qin Lan nodded, although she was a little reluctant, but still said, "Since you are determined to be with Li Qiuyue, her father and his brother are here, we can't not see each other, and your father and I plan to meet Li Qiuyue's father and her brother at noon tomorrow." ”
Zhang Guodong looked very happy and said busily, "Then I'll let them come to our house tomorrow, okay?" ”
Zhang Ziqiang smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will cook more delicious food with your mother and entertain them." ”
Seeing Zhang Guodong's happy appearance, Qin Lan felt a little complicated in her heart, but she couldn't help it, and waved her hand at Zhang Guodong angrily, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
Zhang Guodong answered and went back to his room.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Guodong went to Li Qiuyue and told Li Qiuyue about the matter.
Li Qiuyue was a little unhappy and said, "You also know, my dad and my brother are both from the countryside, and there are no rules, what if I go to your house and let your parents see the jokes?" ”
Zhang Guodong smiled and comforted, "Qiuyue, don't worry, my parents know that your family is rural, so they won't care." ”
Zhang Guodong didn't know the virtues of Li Dashan and Li Lianzi, where could Li Qiuyue not understand, and still said a little reluctantly, "Auntie and uncle don't like me in the first place, I don't think it's better to trouble your parents." ”
Zhang Guodong was a little unhappy, "Qiuyue, where is the trouble?" We're going to get married sooner or later, and now that your dad and your brother are here, my parents want to meet them, which is also a courtesy. ”
Li Qiuyue had no choice but to agree.
As soon as Zhang Guodong left, Li Qiuyue asked for leave like the workshop director, but the workshop director did not embarrass Li Qiuyue, and readily approved the leave.
Li Qiuyue left the factory and went to a guest house not far away, at this time, Li Dashan and Li Lianzi were still sleeping.
The father and son have not had a good night's sleep since they came to the capital, and now they can finally sleep in bed, otherwise the two of them slept in the dark, until Li Qiuyue knocked on the door, and the father and son woke up leisurely.
Li Dashan kicked the Li bolt next to him, and said in a daze, "Someone knocked on the door, go and open the door." ”
Li Lianzi lay on the bed and did not move, muttering in his mouth, "Dad, you go, I won't go." ”
Li Dashan saw that Li Lianzi didn't move for a long time, so he could only sigh helplessly, got up and opened the door.
After the door opened, Li Qiuyue stood outside the door with an angry face and accused loudly, "Why did you open the door so late?" ”
Li Dashan said angrily, "What's the noise?" I finally got a good night's sleep, and I made you mess up. ”
Seeing Li Dashan's virtue, Li Qiuyue had no way at all.
She said to Li Dashan and Li Lianzi with a cold face, "Get up quickly, I'll take you to dinner, after eating, let's sum it up, my parents are going to invite you to dinner at noon today." ”
Li Dashan's mind was still a little confused, and he didn't wake up, but when he heard Li Qiuyue's words, he immediately snorted, his face showed a little timidity, and he said, "Your parents want to invite me to dinner with your brother?" ”
Li Qiuyue nodded with a cold face.
Li Dashan was a little unhappy and said, "The people in their city just have a lot of rules, I'm not used to your brother, so we won't go." ”
Li Qiuyue said angrily, "You and I are willing to let you go, my parents are determined to see you, and I can't stop it." ”
Li Dashan suddenly complained about Li Qiuyue, "It's not all about you being useless." ”
When Li Qiuyue heard this, she secretly glared at Li Dashan, but there was nothing she could do.
After Li Dashan got up and freshened up, Li Qiuyue took them to eat, and then the three of them returned to the guest house.
Li Qiuyue took the trouble to say to the two, "When you go to my target's house, you must be polite, your eyes are not allowed to wander, and you can't smack your lips when eating.
You can't eat too fast, you can't eat too slowly, you can't just pick up meat and eat, and there are plugs, you have to be honest when you get there, you can't steal other people's things......"
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi listened impatiently, and Li Dashan was a little unhappy when he saw Li Qiuyue teaching Li Shuzi a lesson, "Okay, okay, I've written it down with your brother." ”
Li Qiuyue introduced Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guodong's parents like a father and son.
Waiting until 11:00 p.m., Li Qiuyue stood up and said, "It's almost time, let's go." ”
While walking, he didn't forget to advise, "Dad, tie son, you must remember what I said before, and don't embarrass me when the time comes." ”
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi ignored Li Qiuyue, didn't bother to talk to her, and were annoyed.
Li Qiuyue took Li Dashan and Li Lianzi into the family home, and many people in the family home secretly looked at Li Dashan and Li Lianzi with their eyes.
When Li Dashan and Li Lianzi saw so many people looking at them, they suddenly began to be afraid, lowered their heads, pulled their shoulders deafly, and cowered, which made Li Qiuyue feel extremely embarrassed.
Soon, the three of them came to the building where Zhang Guodong's family lived, at this time, after Zhang Guodong got off work, he went home early, and was waiting downstairs, seeing the three of them coming, Zhang Guodong was busy smiling and greeted him.
Li Qiuyue introduced to Zhang Guodong, "Guodong, this is my father. ”
Zhang Guodong hurriedly shouted politely, "Uncle." ”
Li Dashan looked at Zhang Guodong in front of him, although he didn't look good, but when he thought that the young man in front of him had money in his family, Li Dashan's attitude was extremely gentle, and he said with a smile, "Okay, hello." ”
Li Qiuyue introduced Li Shuzi to Zhang Guodong again, "Guodong, this is my younger brother." ”
Zhang Guodong greeted Li Shuzi with a smile, "Hello." ”
Li Lianzi laughed twice, "Hello, hello." ”
Zhang Guodong saw that Li Qiuyue's father was average-looking, with a little dark skin, and Li Qiuyue's younger brother was a little short, looking dumbfounded, no different from the rural people he usually saw.
Zhang Guodong smiled and said, "Uncle, tie the son, let's go into the house quickly, my parents have already cooked a lot of dishes." ”
Li Dashan nodded, didn't speak, when he came, Li Qiuyue told him, don't talk if it's okay, keep your mouth shut, say less and make fewer mistakes, Li Dashan still remembers.
Zhang Guodong took the father and son, as well as Li Qiuyue, into the door.
Zhang Guodong's house is a two-bedroom house, and there are already 7 or 8 plates on the table in the living room, all of which are meat and vegetables, and the whole room exudes a smell of vegetables.
Li Dashan and his son couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their father and son gnawed on dry steamed buns and cold water for more than half a month.
In the past two days, I found Li Qiuyue, and I ate better, but I only ate a few vegetable buns.
Now when they see the meat, the father and son are almost drooling in their mouths, especially those eyes, when they are staring at the dishes, they are a little green, and Li Qiuyue, who is watching, can't help but quietly poke Li Dashan's arm.
Li Dashan came back to his senses, glared at Li Qiuyue angrily, forced himself to take his eyes off the plate, and then saw the TV in Zhang Guodong's house at a glance, with a strange look.
Li Shuzi was still young, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he wiped it with his sleeve, fortunately their clothes had been washed in the past two days, otherwise it would be no different from a beggar.
Li Shuzi also saw Zhang's TV, and couldn't help but run to the TV, and asked Zhang Guodong excitedly, "Brother-in-law, is this a TV?" I've heard people say that as soon as this TV is turned on, there are people singing and dancing inside, which is rare. ”
Zhang Guodong heard Li Lianzi call him brother-in-law, with a bright smile on his face, he walked over and turned on the TV, which happened to broadcast the news.
Although it was only a black-and-white TV, Li Shuzi couldn't take his eyes off it.
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang, who were stir-frying in the kitchen, heard the movement in the living room, the two glanced at each other, put down the spatula, and walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang coming out, Li Qiuyue hurriedly greeted, "Auntie, uncle." ”
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang nodded.
Zhang Guodong saw his parents coming out, and hurriedly introduced them to the two, "Dad, Mom, this is Qiuyue's father." ”
Li Dashan looked at Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang with cold faces, and felt a little worried in his heart, just like a late elementary school student who saw the homeroom teacher, he was stunned, lowered his head as if he had made a mistake, and said nothing.
Li Lianzi, who was watching TV, couldn't help but get nervous when he saw Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang with serious faces, just like Li Dashan, he lowered his head and pulled his shoulders deafly, without saying a word.
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang glanced at each other, and sighed in unison.
The Li family's courage is too small, it's really a little family, they didn't say anything, they just looked like they had done something wrong, so that others would see it and think that their family was bullying.
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang coughed lightly, and Zhang Ziqiang stepped forward with a smile and said, "You are Qiuyue's father, right?" I'm Gordon's dad, it's great to see you, please take a seat... Have a seat. ”
Zhang Ziqiang pulled Li Dashan to sit on the sofa.
looked at Li Shuzi who was there again, and also greeted, "You are Qiuyue's younger brother Shuzi, right?" Sit fast, sit down. ”
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi finally sat on the sofa.
Qin Lan glared at her son secretly, turned around and went back to the kitchen, poured the stewed pork ribs into a basin, and brought them out.
Zhang Ziqiang greeted Li Dashan and Li Lianzi, "You're welcome, we make so many dishes to entertain you, and we have to eat more for a while." ”
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi nodded again and again after hearing this, and then the father and son picked up chopsticks and began to eat in the stunned eyes of Zhang Ziqiang and Qin Lan.
The chopsticks in his hand quickly put the meat on the plate into his mouth piece by piece, and stuffed it into his mouth one by one, but he couldn't stuff it anymore, his cheeks were bulging, and his mouth was full of oil.
Even, Li Dashan accidentally dropped a piece of meat on the ground, and his black hand picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, and Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs.
Li Qiuyue was even more shocked, and reminded Li Dashan in a low voice, "Dad, you eat slowly." ”
Li Dashan didn't pay attention to her at all, he was now full of eating meat, Li Qiuyue had no choice but to pinch Li Dashan, "Dad, you forgot what you promised me before you came?" ”
Li Dashan glared at Li Qiuyue, and said vaguely, "My in-laws let me eat." ”
The in-laws just said that these meals are made for them, so let them not be polite.
This in-laws are so good!
The voice of saying this was a little loud, the rice in his mouth was squirting out, spraying all over the table, Qin Lan, who had just picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat, immediately put down the chopsticks when she saw this, and Zhang Ziqiang also put down the chopsticks silently.
Li Lianzi next to him hummed and ate, like a pig.
Li Qiuyue looked at Zhang Guodong with apologetic eyes, the smile on Zhang Guodong's face was a little reluctant, while Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang's faces were completely cold, without a trace of expression.
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi are not stupid, and they also noticed that Zhang Guodong and his parents were a little unhappy.
The father and son were apprehensive, but they were reluctant to have the meat and vegetables on the table, so the father and son took the plate and poured the meat and vegetables from the plate into their own bowls, but they only poured a small half, and there was still a large half left.
Then the father and son silently got off the table, found a place, squatted on the ground, and began to eat with a hum.
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang almost collapsed when they saw this scene.
Zhang Guodong had no choice but to laugh twice and said, "Dad, Mom, don't be angry, Qiuyue's father and his brother are also true temperament, rural people eat like this, they are also used to it, don't be angry." ”
Qin Lan and Zhang Ziqiang didn't speak with cold faces, the rural villagers they had seen before didn't eat like this.
Li Qiuyue lowered her head and was about to cry, which made Zhang Guodong feel very distressed.
When Li Dashan and Li Lianzi finally finished eating the rice in the bowl, the father and son were not full, Li Dashan stood up and walked in front of Zhang Guodong, and said with a smile, "Guodong, uncle is not full, do you still have rice at home?" Uncle wanted to eat another bowl. ”
Li Lianzi also hurriedly cleaned the rice in the bowl, held the bowl, wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve, walked up to Zhang Guodong and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I haven't eaten enough, you can also fill me with a bowl." ”
Zhang Guodong couldn't laugh anymore, nodded, led people into the kitchen, and poured the little remaining rice into the bowl of the father and son.
Li Dashan looked at only half a bowl of rice, and couldn't help complaining, "It's really good for you to have a meal, I don't know how to cook more, just this little bit of rice is just enough for me to stuff my teeth, and I can't eat enough." ”
Zhang Guodong lowered his head and didn't speak, the father and son walked to the table, poured more than half of the remaining dishes into their bowls, and squatted in the corner to eat.
At this time, the dishes on the table were in a mess, and there was only a little left in each plate, and even the soup on the plate was poured into his bowl by the father and son.
The four people at the table sat silently, not saying a word, and not eating.
Li Dashan and Li Lianzi squatted on the ground holding a big bowl, eating very happily, and finally finished the rice in the bowl, the father and son burped, and were still a little dissatisfied, thinking that if there was still rice, they could eat another bowl.
Seeing this situation, Li Qiuyue had a dark face, pulled up Li Dashan and Li Lianzi, and said to Zhang Guodong and Qin Lan with red eyes, Zhang Ziqiang said, "Uncle, aunt, I caused you trouble today, it's my father and my brother who don't have rules, so I'll take them back." ”
Zhang Guodong stood up, looked at Li Qiuyue with a distressed expression, and said, "Qiuyue, it's none of your business, it's not your fault." ”
Qin Lan pulled Zhang Guodong and said, "You shut up for me." ”
When Li Dashan and Li Lianzi heard Li Qiuyue's words, they were suddenly a little unhappy.
Li Dashan shook off Li Qiuyue's hand, "What are you talking about, you shitty thing, I'm your father, you dare to say that I don't understand the rules, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!" ”
Li Dashan stretched out his hand to hit Li Qiuyue as he spoke, but fortunately, Zhang Guodong was quick and protected Li Qiuyue behind him.
Zhang Guodong frowned and looked at Li Dashan, and said in his mouth, "Uncle, how can you beat Qiuyue?" Autumn Moon is such a big person! ”
Li Dashan snorted coldly, "This is my daughter, I can fight if I want." ”
On the side, Li Shuzi was indifferent, looking left and right in Zhang Guodong's house, and even opened the drawer and rummaged through it.
Qin Lan couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly walked to Li Shuzi's side, and said unhappily, "What are you turning this kid over?" In someone else's house, how can you turn over other people's things at will? ”
Li Lianzi was startled when he heard this, hurriedly retracted his hand, and couldn't help but whisper at random, "This is my brother-in-law's house, what's wrong with me rummaging through the drawers?" ”
Qin Lan's chest was so angry with Li Shuzi that her chest rose and fell, and she said angrily, "Our two families haven't gotten married yet, your brother-in-law called too early." ”
Li Qiuyue saw that the two sides were about to quarrel, so she hurriedly took Li Dashan's hand, "Dad, let's go first." ”
Li Qiuyue said, and shouted the bolt again, "Tie, don't turn over other people's things." ”
Li Dashan snorted coldly and rolled his eyes, "I know that you are ambitious, and I don't look down on your father anymore, and I think your father is embarrassing to you." ”
"Dad can have a full meal today, and I'm happy in my heart, thinking that you can marry into such a family in the future and eat meat every day, Dad is happy."
"But Dad reminds you that you eat and drink spicy food every day, don't forget your brother, and don't forget what you promised me."
Li Qiuyue was afraid that after Li Dashan promised her to marry into the Zhang family, she shook out the matter of Li Shuzi getting into the factory, her face changed, and she pulled Li Dashan and walked out, "Dad, you haven't drunk yet?" How get drunk? What kind of nonsense is all your mouth saying. ”
Seeing that Li Qiuyue was pulling Li Dashan away, Li Shuzi also hurriedly slipped away and ran out of Zhang's house.
After the three of them left, Qin Lan looked at the mess on the table, and finally said 'ouch', sat on the sofa, and cried while patting her thighs, "Who are these people?" Where is this in-laws? ”
"This is simply the enemy's family, kindly invited them to dinner, but I didn't expect them to be like hungry ghosts who have been hungry for eight lifetimes, and they have no courtesy at all!"
Qin Lan patted her thigh, pointed at Zhang Guodong and said, "Guodong, let me tell you, I broke off with Li Qiuyue immediately, I don't agree to this marriage, if you dare to marry Li Qiuyue, you are going to force me to death!" ”
This time, Zhang Ziqiang also stood on Qin Lan's side, "Yes, Guodong, you also saw the virtue of the Li family today, it's not that Dad is unreasonable, it's that the family's character is too bad!" ”
"It's not that your father and I haven't seen rural people, those fellows are kind-hearted and have good conduct, where is the same as this family, it's just a starving ghost reincarnated, and my father doesn't agree to this marriage!"
Zhang Guodong listened, his face showed pain, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
Although he wanted to be with Li Qiuyue very much, and even get married, but seeing the virtues of Li Dashan and Li Shuzi today, Zhang Guodong was also a little shaken.
Qin Lan saw that Zhang Guodong did not object at the first time, and glanced at Zhang Ziqiang, and there was a touch of joy in their eyes, knowing that Zhang Guodong was also shaken.
So Qin Lan took advantage of the victory to pursue and immediately ordered Zhang Guodong, "You go to that Li Qiuyue and make it clear to her, just say that I don't agree with your father about this marriage, let her die of this heart." ”
Zhang Guodong didn't speak, but stood up silently and went out.
Here Li Qiuyue pulled Li Dashan, after the father and son left Zhang's house, they hurried out of the factory all the way, and seeing that there was no one around, the anger in Li Qiuyue's heart finally couldn't help but explode.
Li Qiuyue pointed at Li Dashan's nose and scolded, "Li Dashan, I'm still not your daughter, you're trying to force me to death!" ”
"What do we say before we go? I told you to talk less, what did you just say? ”
"I'll tell you to eat slowly, you're going to eat everyone's house clean!"
"The happiness of my next half of my life will be ruined in your hands, if I can't marry into the Zhang family, don't want to be a worker in the future, and be a mud leg for the rest of my life!"
Li Dashan still didn't know the situation, he used to be so virtuous at home, and he didn't feel that he was wrong.
So Li Dashan waved his hand and gave Li Qiuyue a slap, and said angrily, "You money-loser, how can you talk to your father and me?" What did you do wrong, dad? ”
"I don't say much today, don't let me eat, can I bear it? It's been a habit for decades, and later, in order not to make people laugh, your father and I squatted on the table to eat, what do you still want! ”
Li Lianzi also said, "Yes, sister, my father and I have squatted down to eat, it's enough to give you face, why are you still angry?" ”
Li Qiuyue was so angry that her liver hurt, she felt that she and Li Dashan were not people of the same world, Li Qiuyue felt that she was a reborn, and she felt that she was superior from her heart.
Hearing Li Lianzi's words, he was even more angry, and pointed at Li Shuzi and scolded, "You still have the face to say, what did I tell you before I went, let you honestly not touch other people's things, you can get good, when you get to someone else's house, start rummaging through the drawers without the consent of others, what do you want to do?" ”
Li Dashan saw that Li Qiuyue dared to teach his son a lesson, so he angrily slapped Li Qiuyue again, "Shut up, you, the plug is also something you can teach?" Who do you think you are? You're a loser! ”
