105. Contradictions intensify
If I had to wait for him to come back and do everything in this house, then I might not have a place to stand.
Zhou Yu couldn't think of this, because he didn't know that his mother had a deep prejudice against me, and he didn't know that I was always in a state of anxiety when I got along with his family.
When he saw that I was silent, he took my hand and walked out, "Come with me to change the medicine first." ”
I grabbed him, "Change later, do what needs to be done first." ”
He turned around, with annoyance in his eyes: "I said to change the medicine first, do you still want to go to the hospital again?" Haven't you been there enough yet? At this time, my patience was worn out, and my face turned cold: "Do you think I want to go to the hospital one by one?" My own hand hurt and bled so much that it hurt me, so who is nervous can hurt it for me? ”
Zhou Yu: "Yes, I can't hurt for you, but can't I feel sorry?" Seeing that your finger is wounded and cracked, and then cracked, I feel depressed in my heart, and there is nowhere to blame, so I can only keep an eye on you at all times to prevent you from being injured again! But I can't watch over you twenty-four hours a day, and you'll have to watch out for yourself when I'm away. ”
Knowing that he had good intentions and cared about me, he suppressed his anger and said sullenly: "I don't want to do this either, it's not ...... yet"
"Not because of me?" Zhou's mother's voice suddenly came from the kitchen door, startling me.
Zhou Yu also turned around in shock, "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”
Mother Zhou pursed the corners of her lips, her eyes crossed over me, and then she walked in slowly and said, "But how can you know that you are both blaming me in your hearts?" She was crushed to save me from a finger wound, and I was the one who asked her to clean up the kitchen, so I'm to blame for this, isn't it? ”
I hurriedly responded: "Mom, that's not the case, we don't blame you." ”
Mother Zhou laughed, shook her head at me and said, "Xiaoru, you mother, I can't stand it." ”
My heart shook, and I lost my voice in my throat. The person in front of her no longer wants to maintain the appearance of peace, and he sees all the dislike, and directly picks out her attitude.
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about? Xiaoru is my wife, of course I have to call you Mom, but if you don't mind her calling you the Queen Mother, I definitely don't mind. I'll have some private words with Jia Xiaoru, you don't like it after listening to half a sentence, I don't want Jia Xiaoru to replace the dirty gauze first. ”
Mother Zhou wasn't annoyed, at least not on the surface, she just glanced at my hand hanging down at her side, and then said lightly: "Since the hand injury is so urgent, let's deal with it early." There are so many people outside waiting for you hungry, forget it, I'll just come here, you guys are busy with your business. ”
I was pulled out of the kitchen by Zhou Yu, and after entering the room, he asked me to wait, and he went out to get the medicine box.
After a while, he came in again, helped me remove the dirty gauze, and looked at the wound carefully, this time it was not cracked, but it was blistered and a little white. The iodine wine still hurts my heart when I apply it, but it may hurt too many times, and my endurance will become stronger, and I will become numb after feeling the hot pain. During the dressing change, neither of them spoke, and there was an argument in itself, and his mother suddenly appeared, at least I was not in the mood to speak again.
After changing the medicine, Zhou Yu said sullenly: "Don't take it to heart, the Queen Mother just listened to us, so she was unhappy." When you turn around, it's over, and there's nothing more. ”
I silently said in my heart: I'm afraid things can't get through.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, I took it and found that it was my mother calling, and I was surprised that I had ignored my mother for a while, and it was already Chinese New Year's Eve and I hadn't come home yet.
Hurriedly pressed the answer, and called softly: "Mom." ”
"Alas, Xiaoru, when will you and Xiaoyu come back tomorrow? It's supposed to be a holiday. ”
Tomorrow...... It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother and I are at home, deserted.
This year, it may still be the same.
After a little hesitation, I responded: "I'll come over tomorrow morning and help you clean up the wontons." ”
Mom teased on the other end of the phone: "You still help me make wontons?" Just don't mess with me, if you come in the morning, I'll cook you sugar eggs to eat. ”
I wanted to say that Zhou Yu didn't go over, but I still omitted it, which will say that my mother must ask the reason. If you know that the two elders of the Zhou family have returned to China, you will definitely not like it in your heart.
I answered and said a few more words and hung up, Zhou Yu was next to me, even if I couldn't hear my mother's voice, I could hear the clue from my answer, he came to ask me: "Are you going back to your mother tomorrow morning?" ”
"Well, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will definitely go back."
"Then I'll go buy some supplements or something in the morning and bring them over, what do our mother's preferences have?"
I looked at him, "You're going too?" ”
He was stunned, "Of course you have to go over, how can your son-in-law not come to the door during the holidays?" Jia Xiaoru, you don't plan to leave me alone and go back just because I quarreled just now, this is not right. ”
I probably knew that he didn't understand my thoughts, and I should have made it clear to him at this time, but I hoped in my heart that he would be with me tomorrow. So I was silent and didn't break it.
At night, I had a dream that Zhou's mother was facing her mother. The mother accused them of why the Zhou family did not follow the rules at all, and her daughter and their son had been married for so long, and their in-laws did not come to the door. But Zhou's mother sneered and said to her mother, this daughter-in-law is not recognized by their Zhou family, how can they come to the in-laws?
When my mother heard this, she was angry, pulled me away, and asked me to divorce Zhou Yu immediately. I didn't agree, so she scolded me, scolded and scolded herself but cried, saying that raising such a big girl came to be angry with others.
When I woke up, I found that my face was slightly cold, and I reached out to wipe it, and I was wet.
Glancing at the man who was still asleep next to me, I quietly got up, it was still early, but it was only five o'clock in the morning.
I was a little thirsty, so I put on my coat and quietly went out to pour water to drink, but there was only one wall lamp in the living room. Afraid of making noise to Zhou Liang, he deliberately avoided the position of the sofa, and when he walked to the kitchen door against the wall, he vaguely saw a figure in the darkness, hesitating whether to make a sound, for fear that entering rashly would scare the other party.
But after a while, I realized that something was wrong, the figure seemed to be half-crouched in front of the kitchen counter, even if I wanted to take something, I didn't have to be there all the time. Without thinking, I walked in and asked in a low voice, "Need help?" ”
Doubts came from the darkness and silence: "Ah Xue? ”
I heard the voice and recognized that this person was Zhou's father, and hurriedly replied: "Dad, it's me, Xiaoru." ”
No longer hesitated to turn on the light in the kitchen, and in the bright light, he saw that Father Zhou was kneeling on one knee and holding the kitchen table with both hands. I was startled and immediately stepped forward to help the person, not paying attention to the unhappiness on his face after seeing me.
He stood up with my support, but pulled out his arm and muttered, "Who wants you to help?" I just want to take the sour vinegar. ”
The condiments are indeed in the cabinet over there, but you don't need to get the vinegar on one knee.
I didn't bother to break it, I bent down and took the vinegar out of the cabinet and put it on the kitchen counter. After thinking about it, he bent down and took out the soy sauce bottle and hot sauce bottle. Father Zhou glared at this: "What are you doing here?" ”
I lowered my eyes and said, "When you wake up hungry and want to get something to eat, you may need these condiments." ”
Father Zhou was silent for a moment and started to walk out.
"Dad, is your leg arthritis?" My sudden opening made Father Zhou stop, and annoyance flashed in his eyes: "Who has arthritis?" I pretended not to hear, and only whispered: "When I have arthritis, I often can't stand up straight because of the pain, and my mother has also had it. ”
Father Zhou asked suspiciously: "Is Chinese medicine really so powerful?" ”
I smiled and said, "I don't know if it's powerful or not, but I should let the Chinese medicine doctor see it before I can judge." Anyway, my mom doesn't have arthritis when it's cloudy and rainy. ”
Father Zhou let out an awkward "oh" and staggered out.
I didn't go up to help me again, first, Dad Zhou had prejudices against me, and expressing concern would only be regarded as flattering; The second is that the pain of this arthritis is not like anything else, it is the kind that hurts endlessly, and Dad Zhou is afraid that he doesn't want to be noticed.
There will be some emotion, no matter how tough a person is, he can't compete with the weight of age, and after a person reaches middle age, his body is gradually not as good as he was at the beginning. When did Mom start? It seems that after my father left.
I was determined to go back to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with my mother today.
When Zhou Yu got up in the morning, we went out, and Han Jingxue got up to make breakfast for the little walnuts, and asked us where we were so early, and Zhou Yu replied that it was a trip to my mother's house. Han Jingxue nodded in understanding, and went into the kitchen again.
I saw Han Jingxue boiling porridge in the kitchen, it should not only be for small walnuts, otherwise it would be a big pot. She may be the standard daughter-in-law model in Zhou's mother's mind, virtuous, family-oriented, and gentle, and the most important thing is that the family background is simple.
It's not as complicated as me, and my temperament is not soft enough, and I'm not even good at cooking. Thinking about it this way, I really don't like my mother-in-law very well. Some people say that the most difficult thing in the world to integrate is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there is a layer of impenetrable membrane between them, saying that the daughter-in-law will always rob her son in the eyes of her mother-in-law, another woman.
