Chapter 4 There are words of suffering
Wei Zhun was suspicious of himself, was he really ambitious? No, the pair of eyes that burst out made his heart palpitate slightly, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed this kind of thing. The pair of eyes...... The pair of eyeballs......
Tianjiagou, Goujiatian, the affairs of the countryside were originally a confused account, and when Tian Zhaowang first mentioned the 'unknown woman', Wei Zhun was drumming in his heart, and the ensuing events made people unable to calm down. But you are a foreigner, what else can you say, what you said on the phone is good, the people here don't want to see you, but after all, he is still a director, whether the village chief agrees or not, you always have to ask about big and small things.
Early the next morning, the blowing team of Huashugou came, and there were not many people, three or five. The village chief rarely asks about these details, but this time he came, dressed very decently, as if he was the protagonist today. didn't see the village chief talk much, so he chatted with Tian Zhaofu in the house for half an hour. This is not a happy funeral, nor is it a premature death, what no one can say, there are many people in the Tian family, and there are few people who come, no sitting, no meals, just a simple memorial.
Wei Zhun took advantage of the village chief's leisure time and went over to talk to him.
"Secretary Tian, do you know about the son of the Zhaowang family?"
"Well, I know." The village chief carried the pile of straw that was in the way at the door to the wall, and the smoke in his mouth was so smoky that he couldn't open his eyes, and he spoke like he was spitting out bullets: "How are you asking what are you doing?"
"Have you been to see the kid?"
"I'm not free, what do you want to talk to me?" The village chief squinted.
"That kid was sick and skinny the day before yesterday, and he was 'fine' yesterday - last night."
There were still some dead branches of the straw, and the village chief twisted it with all his might, folded it and discarded it at the foot of the wall: "I said Xiao Wei, what are you doing all day long, you are the village director, just take care of yourself."
There are still words, a belly, but the village chief didn't listen, and went to greet the people who played the team.
This director is really a wretch, except for collecting money and managing taxes, he can't intervene in anyone in the village. Before, Wei Zhun didn't care, he just felt that it was a day to be able to mess around, anyway, one day he would leave here, as long as he didn't offend people. And now, he-
"Wei Zhun."
It was Xiuzhen who came, holding two pears in her hands, quite big: "Here you are, my aunt brought them."
Wei Zhun picked it up, smiled, took half of the bite, and chewed tastelessly.
"What are you doing!" Xiuzhen snatched it up: "I haven't washed it yet, what's the matter with you in the past two days, it's like you've lost your soul."
He swallowed the pear he had eaten, pondering something else.
"You're here to mourn?"
Xiuzhen nodded, shook her head again, and pursed her lips: "I want to come, but my mother won't let me come." I'm here to find you, go to my house, my dad wants to meet you. β
"There's nothing to see, it's not that I haven't seen it."
"Oops!" Xiuzhen made Xiao Jin beat him: "You are like this, we want to be a partner, and it's okay." You'll have to see my parents once in earnest, so it's polite. I said you'd go today, and the house was all cooking. β
"Todayβtoday?"
Wei Zhun didn't want to go, there were dead people here, how could he have the heart to see his father-in-law. If you don't say this, he has a trick: "Another day, I didn't prepare anything, I didn't buy anything, I went back to the town to buy apples and then went again, it's safe."
Xiuzhen came up hard, grabbed Wei Zhun's arm and dragged it to the side: "You don't need to prepare, your uncle has prepared it for you, I'll call him."
The woman had the vision to see it, and shouted at the village chief who was busy over there: "Second uncle! I have something to do with Wei Zhun, so I won't stay here longer. β
The village chief only glanced at it: "Okay, let's play."
Play...... Play?
It's not a child to say such things.
Xiuzhen's house is on the north side of the stone bridge in the center of the village, across the river is the church, and the fourth family at the cross-bridge is very close. There are white things in the younger generation's family, and Tian Qingguo, who is an elder, still has the heart to invite his future son-in-law to dinner, so he can't say it. Xiuzhen's family is not wealthy, even the courtyard gate does not use bricks, it is completely open, and her house is lower than other people's, and there are slopes from the village road. When I entered, Xiuzhen's mother was busy working in the stove room, and her father was sitting on the porch, holding a pea plate in his hand, peeling it.
"Dad! Look who's coming. β
Tian Qingguo had already seen it, and waited for the woman to speak before getting up: "Xiao Wei is here."
"Hello uncle."
Tian Qingguo, who shouted, said: "Hehe...... Hehehe, good, good. That-Jiajuan, put the beef in the pot, braised it. β
Jiajuan is Xiuzhen's mother.
Wei Zhun was invited to the middle room and asked Xiuzhen to sit down. Rural women are simple, not as shy as city people, especially when she likes a man, she will be the most cold and warm, and she doesn't care if her elders are not there. Xiuzhen put her arms around Wei Zhun and smiled at her father: "Dad, are you still satisfied with the son-in-law I found for you?"
"Hehe, satisfied, satisfied, a talent."
Qiangyan smiled very stiffly, but Wei Zhun really couldn't laugh, he felt that this meal was headless and brainless, and he also said something out of place: "Uncle, Zhaofu's woman is dead, why didn't you go and see it."
Tian Qingguo's eyes dimmed, Xiuzhen broke the bench and sat down on the side: "Wei Zhun, what are you talking about, today is the official door of your marriage and saying such things."
Seeing that his father-in-law didn't speak, Wei Zhun guessed that he must have known about that incident back then.
"Uncle, I watched He Meiqin die with my own eyes, she died very strangely, and her eyes flew out. I've heard...... Back then, the brother of the Tian family did something and died a woman, what the hell happened?"
Xiuzhen approached Wei Zhun and blew into his ear hole: "Don't mention this, the people in the village are taboo about this." If you keep talking, my dad will be angry, and you still want to be good with me. β
In the end, he is still a future son-in-law, and he is also an official, Tian Qingguo does not tear his face: "Xiao Wei, this matter is from the village, I don't know very well, you have to ask the village chief."
"But when we had a meeting yesterday, someone said that everyone in the Tian family knew about it."
This provoked the old man slapped the table: "Which one said it!" The mouth is rotten, and it is nonsense. β
"Oh, dad - Wei Zhun came to see you today, what kind of table are you shooting."
Tian Qingguo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is not as kind as others say, and he is still very concerned about things in his bones. He would hide himself, thanks to his daughter's reminder, and hoped that a good son-in-law could take him out of poverty and live in the city, and when Xiuzhen's mother brought the dishes to the table, he dismissed the embarrassment: "Xiao Wei, what are your plans for the future?"
"Do a good job and benefit the village."
Hearing this, Xiuzhen sneered, this is a good thing, but it seems hypocritical.
Tian Qingguo poured wine for Wei Zhun: "To be a cadre, you have to have this energy, but you have other ideas, do you want to nest in Tianjiagou for the rest of your life?" Isn't it?"
It's all said and done, and if you don't understand it, you'll be a fool. Wei Zhun then perfunctory: "When I go to the city in the future, I will take Xiuzhen to live a good life together, as well as my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
It's simple, it's that simple, isn't that what Tian Qingguo wants to hear, he is annoyed if he talks too much.
Drinking and eating, Wei Zhun didn't mention that incident again, he thought of another kind of relief for himself, that is, to leave here with Xiuzhen and leave with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. No matter where you go, it's better to rent a house than to stay here. After drinking too much wine and gaining more courage, Wei Zhun brought up the matter.
"Hmm!" Tian Qingguo didn't care that the wine in his mouth hadn't passed through his throat, revealing incomparable joy: "Good thing! Are you about to be transferred? Count it up...... You have been in our Tianjiagou for a year and five months, and you are originally from the city, so it seems that the upper authorities have an idea about your ability to do things. β
Xiuzhen shook him: "Hey, is it true, you don't tell me about such a good thing."
"It's not." Wei Zhun didn't drink this toasted wine, and the wine glass was resting: "It's me who wants to leave, and I don't want to be the director."
Tian Qingguo had never heard that people should not be officials, and when he went to a low place, he licked the wine stains on his lips, and put his arms on the table: "Xiao Wei, how can you think so." What's so bad about being a director, I heard Xiuzhen say that your cousin is a little capable, he is a director in the city, and with his relationship, you will leave Tianjiagou sooner or later, I don't want it long. Did you encounter any trouble, you told your uncle, did someone say in Tianjiagou? β
Xiuzhen really likes Wei Zhun and doesn't care if he is an official or not: "Dad, if he is not an official, forget it, just a broken director, who wants to be whom, I am not uncommon."
"!" Tian Qingguo's wine glass knocked on the table, causing most of the wine to spill out: "What do you know!" Where are the girls interfering when the old men talk!"
"Originally, what I liked was Wei Zhun's people, not anything else."
"Get in! Get out of the house!"
Tian Qingguo handed Wei Zhun a Huangguoshu cigarette, Wei Zhun knew how to be measured, and took the initiative to light it for the old man, and then ordered it himself: "Uncle, I'm not joking with you." What happened in the past two days has been so scary, I- I don't even know how to tell you. β
"Kid, I know why you're worried, for He Meiqin, right?"
"Hmm."
"Don't believe what people are telling you about nonsense."
"But what I saw with my own eyes, there is also the tiger son of the Zhaowang family, he is eating raw meat, and- he gained weight overnight, you don't know, the child was so thin the night before yesterday that he was dying."
"What you said is true?" Tian Qingguo ate a piece of beef, put down his chopsticks, and licked the excess wine on the table.
"It's true, if you don't believe it, go ask Tian Zhaofu."
Tian Qingguo laughed dryly: "Then why don't he say it, if there is such a thing, Zhaofu will definitely be better than you." In my opinion, you just read too much, and you don't think about things in your head like others. β
The Qingguo woman prepared the last meal and sat opposite Wei Zhun: "Her father, will it really be haunted?" I heard Qingfang say that it was two babies who moved the grave of the Song woman. β
"! It's not a big deal, a woman's family, you know something. Tian Qingguo also took his wife away, talked to Wei Zhun alone, and spoke in a veiled manner: "My mother-in-law is also a broken mouth, you don't care about him." It's still haunted, singing on stage. β
"But uncle, I-"
"Don't mention it, okay?" Tian Qingguo said righteously: "Tonight, you will sleep in Xiuzhen's house, I am sure that you are a son-in-law, I don't care what outsiders say." Wait for next month, when I'm done with the affairs here, I'll go into the city with you to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law. β
"I'm sleeping here today?!"
"What's the matter, it's useless for my old man to talk?"
"No, no, I just think it's too fast."
"Come on, you've known each other for more than a year, and besides, you're not too young, so you should have a round house together. Could it be that you don't like my family Xiuzhen?" Seeing that Wei Zhun didn't answer, Tian Qingguo dried the wine in the cup in one go: "I've always been happy in doing things, so it's decided."
