Chapter 16: Something Happened Again

I hurriedly walked to the room, and when I arrived at the door, Sister Li was already on the phone, and when I answered the phone, she muttered, "Whose phone is it?" ”

I said it was Feng Mei's.

Feng Mei's eager voice came, saying that she called her brother three times, but the phone was turned off. Ask me if I've called his brother, it'll be fine!

My tears rolled in my eyes, and I walked over and grabbed Feng Wei's hand in my hand, pretending to be calm, and said I called yesterday? Is it that he was working on the construction site and accidentally broke his mobile phone, it's okay, let her rest assured.

Feng Mei believed me, and chattered on the phone again, saying that when her brother first had a mobile phone, he called her every day. But this year, his brother called less often, especially in May and June, almost all of them were called by her brother, and every time she called, she couldn't talk a few words, and her brother said that he was busy? Hung up the phone.

I put down my superfluous speculation for Feng Mei, and said that your brother called me like this for a while, okay?

Feng Mei muttered again, saying that his brother was working on the construction site and would not fall, so touch it! Or is it that you have some illness, you want to hide it from your family, and you look depressed every time you call.

Tears welled up in my eyes: "No, how is your brother?" I'm going to get busy! I hung up! ”

Feng Mei was afraid that I would hang up, so she was so anxious that she asked again: "Is my brother really good?" ”

"Okay? I'll call him right away! Hung up the phone, wiped his tears, looked at the sleeping Feng Wei and asked himself: "Feng Wei, what do you say I should do?" What should I do? ”

The door suddenly opened, and Ren Peng walked inside, looking at the shipping bill in his hand and asking me to calculate this account! But when I look up, I am sad.

He smiled and calmed down, and asked me in a low voice.

I said that Feng Mei asked me about her brother, what should I do?

"If it doesn't work, just tell her!" When Ren Peng spoke, his eyes were melancholy.

I know that he is worried that if this continues, I will break down, I will be depressed.

I also said that Feng Mei has just broken up with her boyfriend now, if she tells her about her brother, what should she do, take it slowly! Speaking of my voice in the back, the low one can only be heard by myself.

Ren Peng put his hand on my shoulder: "I'm really afraid that you won't be able to hold on!" ”

I didn't want him to see my tearful face, bow my head and say, "It's okay."

At that moment, I really wanted to lean on Ren Peng's arms and cry bitterly, telling him that I love him and I want to marry him, but what about my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and ex-husband.

I shed tears, I could feel Ren Peng's uneasiness and heartache, he hugged me in his arms, and said again that with him, let me not be afraid.

Someone knocked on the door, we separated, Ren Peng went out to do business, I wiped away my tears and turned over for Feng Wei.

The mother-in-law called and said that Bobo was upset when she went home for dinner in the evening, and she had something to say.

I said it might be a little late to go back!

The mother-in-law immediately got angry and said that she couldn't destroy Bobo for a Ren Peng and make her angry!

I know that no matter how much I say, it is disrespectful to my mother-in-law, after all, she has been widowed for half her life in order to support this family.

His tone softened and said, "Mom, I know." ”

The mother-in-law was not angry and hung up the phone.

When I left in the afternoon, Ren Peng told me not to get angry when I went back, saying that I was busy with business and couldn't take care of my family, and it was normal for my mother-in-law and Bobo to have opinions.

Sister Li echoed that Xu Yan was a well-known filial daughter-in-law in our village, and let her lose her temper unless the sun came out of the west. After speaking, he took off the scarf on his head and patted the dust on his legs.

Ren Peng glanced at me and entered the house.

Sister Liu and I walked home. Along the way, Sister Liu talked about Li Sheng, the son of a soldier. said that she and Brother Li wanted their son to stay in the army for another three years, but the son said that there was no way, and he was not good, so he wanted to come back.

I said that since Li Sheng didn't want to stay, let him come back!

Sister Liu said again, she is only twenty-one years old, what are you doing when you come back! If you are a non-commissioned officer, you can also give more money if you are demobilized, and if you have money, you can buy a house in the county seat and get married.

He also said that you see Martha's son, who has been a soldier for more than ten years, not only gave compensation, but also arranged a job, how good, he has become a city person.

I said that the horse soldiers were ten years older than Li Sheng, and they were treated differently depending on their military age.

The handle was grabbed by Sister Liu, she said yes, Li Sheng has been a soldier for more than ten years, and now he is treated like this, who knows that in another ten or eight years, the treatment will be better.

I don't know what to say, I can only laugh.

Sister Liu smiled when she saw me and asked me if any relatives, friends, and classmates were officers in the army.

I said that I didn't get into college, and I went home after the college entrance examination, and I didn't have any contact with my classmates in high school.

Sister Liu pounded me and said look, you are afraid, for fear that I will trouble your relatives, friends, and classmates.

I said that I really didn't, but I knew that they were now officials, and I was not admitted to university, so people didn't necessarily pay attention to me. After I finished speaking, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, I gave up repeating because of my family background, and I helplessly looked at the last touch of the sunset.

Sister Li listened and said, but you are right, people will become, especially in today's society, as soon as people become officials and have money, they will become snobbish. Do not ask for help, lest you be looked down upon.

I laugh at people and don't know you, why look down on you.

Sister Li argued, look at the second Wang of our village, the third deflated, didn't he make a fortune by relying on the silver dollars left by his father. The ball can be ruthless, build a two-story building in the village, poke the sky and the earth, and swoop.

He also said that some women in our village are also disgusting, and in order to coax Wang Er's money, they mess with Wang Er while her husband is away.

I pounded her in surprise: "Sister Li, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

Sister Li muttered in a low voice: "Let me tell you Xu Yan, Ma's second daughter-in-law Suna is fooling around with Wang Er?" ”

I know how not to talk about other people's faults in my spare time, and I often think about myself when I sit quietly. Persuade Sister Li not to talk nonsense.

Sister Li still didn't follow, saying that she saw Suna enter the city in Wang Er's car with her own eyes, and you said it was disgusting or not.

I don't say anything.

Sister Li pounded me, saw that I was stunned, and asked me if I had seen it.

I was recalling the scene when I saw Wang Er and Suna hugging each other last night, and when Sister Li asked, I still lied and said I didn't know.

Sister Li listened and said, Suna is like this, Ma Er's parents have no choice but to swallow their anger, or make a fuss, she will divorce and leave a six-year-old daughter? So, Li Sheng came back and said that his daughter-in-law, the girl who ran outside, she resolutely disagreed, such a girl can't keep her heart when she gets married, and she is easy to learn badly.

After saying that, he asked me if this was the case, and I shook my head. I just arrived at the door of the house and waved to Sister Li to enter the door.

Sister Li yelled at me, what she said couldn't be said to outsiders.

I nodded.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, the mother-in-law stood at the door.

My mother-in-law asked me who I was talking to? What do you mean not to let others know!

I said Sister Li, it's about our market.

I didn't see Bobo, so I asked Bobo!

My mother-in-law closed the courtyard door and latched it, followed me, and said that when I didn't come back for a long time, they would eat first, and Bobo was studying?

I explained that there were two people who came to eat food in the afternoon, and this busy work was late.

When I opened the door and entered, Bobo didn't look up at me, but looked down to write his homework. I could see that the little guy was angry, touched his head and smiled and asked him if he was angry with me.

He didn't stop the pen in his hand, didn't look at me, just shook his head with an unhappy face.

I bent down, put down the pen in his hand, took his hand, and explained to him: I'm really busy, and my mother wants to be with you too.

My son threw himself into my arms and asked me if I was marrying Uncle Ren Qiang and divorcing his father.

I understood my son's feelings, and asked myself in my heart that it was not that I wanted to divorce your father, but that your father vowed not to look back and want a divorce. But after the marriage and divorce, your dad is now in a vegetative state, what should I do?

Thinking like this in my heart, I didn't say it, but told my son to let him study with peace of mind, and his mother would not leave his father and leave this home.

The son listened and muttered, Dad hasn't called for more than a month, it's going to be fine!

I lied that his dad was fine, called me all, and asked him how he was studying?

When my son heard this, he smiled and asked me if he had told his father about going to school in the city.

I said that I had spoken, but suddenly there were tears in my eyes. When my son saw me, he raised his hand to wipe my tears and asked me why I was crying.

I smiled wryly and told him: Bobo has grown up and is sensible, and his mother is happy.

My mother-in-law called me outside the door and said something was wrong.
