Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lee's Thoughts
Entering September, when Qiu Tiger was still very powerful, Ming Nuan started school, Xiaomeng and her brother Xiaolin finally came back a week before the start of school, and they hadn't seen their good friends for nearly two months, and Ming Nuan still missed her very much.
However, I remembered the scene when I saw Xiaomeng......
That.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm back!" Ming Nuan, who was in the house, heard the sound of Xiaomeng outside, and hurriedly opened the door to let Xiaomeng in, and the result was ......
"Wow, Xiaomeng, did you go to Africa to escape?" Ming Nuan said in surprise, a little dream that I didn't see during the holiday became dark and thin, and it was no wonder that Ming Nuan would make such an exclamation.
"You're really, Nuan Nuan, people are about to kill you, you actually talk about me like this." Xiaomeng pursed his lips and said.
"Xiaomeng, don't listen to Nuan Nuan's nonsense, our Xiaomeng is beautiful. Let's eat a big apple. Chen Guiyun said and glanced at Ming Nuan with disgust.
Ming Nuan laughed twice and asked, "Why are you so dark?"
"I'll tell you ah Ming Nuan, my hometown is fun, many friends took me to the river to fish, and we also went to the mountains to pick wild fruits, but it was not delicious, sour and astringent......"
So that's the case, no wonder Xiaomeng is so dark.
"I want to go to everything you said." Ming Nuan said enviously.
"Ah, it's not all fun, I also followed my grandparents to work in the fields, and I went to the fields to pull weeds, and it was uncomfortable to be stuffy and stuffy in the fields." Xiaomeng recalled.
"Yes, just like Minnong said, we just knew how to carry it before, and we will finally experience the hard work of sweat and soil on the afternoon of hoeing day." Ming Nuan also sighed.
"Huh? Nuan Nuan, you made a new dress. Xiaomeng said when she saw the skirt that had not had time to be put away on the warm bed.
"Mm-hmm, my mom just made it for me." Ming Nuan nodded.
Xiaomeng picked up the skirt and looked at it, and exclaimed, "Wow, Nuan Nuan, this skirt is so beautiful!" Can I try it? Xiaomeng asked with a look of hope.
"Of course." Ming Nuan said happily.
After Xiaomeng put on the skirt, she turned around in front of Mingnuan and asked, "How is it, how is it, is it good-looking?" ”
Ming Nuan nodded and said, "It's good-looking, it's that you've lost a lot of weight than before, otherwise you look better when you wear it, and it's a little empty now." ”
"I'll ask my mom to make me one too, so we can both wear the same dress and go out to play." Xiaomeng took off her skirt and said.
"You're stupid, it's almost autumn now, you can't wear a skirt for two days, and it's too small to wear it next summer, let your mother do it next year!" Ming Nuan nodded Xiaomeng's forehead and said.
"yes, I forgot it's almost autumn, hehe." Xiaomeng hugged Ming Nuan's arm and said, "Nuan Nuan, let me tell you, I have a very special and annoying cousin in my hometown, and I annoy her to death." ”
"Tell me what your special, special and annoying cousin did to make you so annoying." Ming Nuan teased and smiled and pinched Xiaomeng's face.
"Hmph, as soon as I got home, she wanted my dress when she saw it." Xiaomeng said hatefully.
"And why did she ask for the dress you wanted?" Ming Nuan asked.
"She praised me first, she said that my dress was so beautiful, and asked me if I could borrow her to wear it for two days, I didn't think about it and refused, it was a birthday gift you gave me, she saw that I didn't take it and said I was stingy, I didn't care what she said about me. Later, she quarreled with her parents and asked her parents to make her a new dress, and then my aunt came to ask me if I could borrow the skirt for her to wear for two days, and I wanted to refuse directly, but my brother refused to let me take an old dress and give it to her. Xiaomeng laughed twice when he said it, and continued: "Then I found an old skirt that my mother made for me the year before last and gave it to her, the skirt is small, I can barely wear it today, and I will definitely not be able to wear it next year, she put it on the day after I gave it to him, and she came to show me proudly, as a result" Xiaomeng said here and stopped, and said in a gloating tone: "When she went out to play, she raised her arm, and there was a big hole in the armpit. He started laughing.
Ming Nuan couldn't help but laugh when she imagined that scene.
……
In the new semester, there are only three people left, Xiaomeng Mingnuan and Minghe, Mingcheng went to the city No. 1 middle school to study, at this time the high school has been completely suspended, and the junior high school is still in class, so Mingcheng lived a bitter reading life of going out early and returning late.
Last semester, the temporary math teacher still retired, and a male teacher about 30 years old, surnamed Niu, was transferred, and an extra Russian class was added.
For Ming Nuan, Russian is a new language, although she has the experience of learning English, but it is still a lot of struggle, fortunately, Mingyang has made up lessons for her and Ming He at home every day.
……
Li tied up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, swallowed it without chewing a few times and frowned, took a sip of the wine glass, and his mood became very bad inexplicably.
During this time, because of the second daughter, the standard of living has improved a lot, I didn't think before, but now that the living conditions are good, Ge Xiaohua's cooking skills are really poor, looking at the potato stew chicken in the pot, a good chicken is only salty and has no fragrance, and the vegetables in a pot are all white and flowery, which makes people look at the lack of appetite at all, looking at the appearance of their mother-in-law and children who haven't eaten for three years, my heart is even more unhappy, he has been there several times when Huo Jianguo was invited before, and the food cooked by Chen Guiyun is full of color and fragrance, It's all potato stewed chicken, the one that makes people want to swallow their tongues, and this one doesn't even have the desire to eat.
He originally thought that the gap between himself and the Huo family was only the difference between his position and living standard with Huo Jianguo, but now the living standard of the family has improved so much that he feels that he has surpassed the Huo family, (that is the real level of the Huo family) But now instead of feeling happy, he is even more aggrieved.
Glancing at his second daughter, Li tied up and asked, "Did Xie Zhengqiang say when he would divorce and marry you?"
Hearing Li Lian's words, the whole family looked at Li Ernier with expectant eyes, oh no, it should be Li Hongying, everyone knows that the good life now is thanks to this Xie Zhengqiang, if he really marries his sister, wouldn't the future life be better.
Ge Xiaohua's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked, "Yes, yes, when did he say it?" ”
Seeing that the whole family, except for the eldest sister, looked at her family with an expectant look, Li Hongying felt impatient from the bottom of her heart, and she said patiently: "Soon, soon, he said that he would divorce the yellow-faced woman in the family as soon as possible." In fact, she didn't believe it herself, she knew very well that Xie Zhengqiang was not sincere to her at all, just playing, and besides, I heard that his wife's family had some ability, how could Xie Zhengqiang abandon this capable Yue family and marry him? But she wouldn't say this, Ge Xiaohua's attitude towards herself has changed a lot during this time, and she knows that it's all because of the benefits she can bring to the family.
After Li Lianzhu heard Li Hongying's words, he took another sip of wine, they are all men, how could he not hear that Xie Zhengqiang's words were perfunctory, maybe he never wanted to marry his own daughter at all, it seems that Xie Zhengqiang is also unreliable for a long time, and he has to think of other ways to live a good life.
But after Ge Xiaohua heard this, she laughed, squeezed a pair of small eyes, and said with a grinning mouth: "That relationship is good, you have to hurry, when you get married, keep the money, and have another son to stand firm, then the Xie family is not up to you, and what we want to eat and wear is not a matter of you and your son-in-law." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.
After eating, Li leaned on the quilt at the head of the bed, trying to ignore the smell of sweat from the quilt.
"You have to rely on yourself, rely on yourself." Li Lianzhu muttered in a low voice, half-squinting her eyes, although Ge Xiaohua didn't know what Li Lianzhu was thinking at the moment, but she had lived with him for more than 20 years, she knew that Li Lianzhu's mood was not good at the moment, she sat on the bed far away, so as to avoid becoming a punching bag for Li Lianzhu.
It would be nice if Huo Jianguo could be brought down, Li Lianzhu thought like this, but not to mention that Huo Jianguo himself had nothing to attack, he had great achievements and was decent, and now, since Deputy Division Commander Bai came, the two of them were better to wear a pair of pants, if Huo Jianguo was moved now, it would be equivalent to offending Deputy Division Commander Bai, and the gains outweighed the losses, if only there were people above him.
"Dad, I saw Mingcheng's family eating braised pork last time, it's fragrant, mother, you can also make braised pork!" Li Erzhuang said.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you when your second sister gets the meat back next time." Saying that, Ge Xiaohua glanced at Li Hongying from the corner of her eye.
Li Erzhuang immediately ran to Li Hongying and pulled her arm and said, "Second sister and second sister, good second sister, when will you bring back the meat?" ”
Li Hongying looked at Li Erzhuang in front of her and wanted to laugh and cry, together the two younger brothers never called themselves sisters, and when they were unhappy, they blurted out that they lost money and goods, since they brought benefits to the family, they were the second sister and the second sister were short, she looked at the eldest sister and the third sister who were sticking to the matchbox, they didn't dare to have a moment of free time, and they kept working, even so, their father and mother still beat and scolded at any time.
"There will be meat in a few days." Li Hongying smiled and said, no matter what, she is fed up with the previous days, whether she is sincere or useful, so she is very satisfied.
"Really, second sister, can you get more back?" Li Erzhuang said again.
"I'll try to get as many as I can back then." Li Hongying said, in fact, Xie Zhengqiang did not give her the meat directly, but gave her a lot of money and tickets, but she knew that this matter could not be tethered to Ge Xiaohua and Li Lian, otherwise she would not be able to keep it at all, so that she could still secretly hide some money, her parents could not rely on it, she could only rely on herself.
"What's that, Ernier, you see that my mother's gown has been worn for several years, patches and patches, you can see if you can give your mother a piece of cloth, and your mother will make a new dress, and when the time comes, if the Xie family comes to the door, your mother-in-law will also give you a long face." Ge Xiaohua took Li Hongying's hand and said.
"Mother, it's not that I don't give it to you, it's really nothing, it's just this meat, it's all because I and Zhengqiang have said many good things to others, and how many smiling faces I have with them before people are willing to give it to us, it's not that we have what we want." Li Hongying understands very well that she can't raise the appetite of her family, otherwise they will only become more and more greedy in the future.
