Chapter 115: Things Happen for a Reason
The next day, when the sun was getting high, Chunmei called Pengxiang up and said to him: "Grandma is old, she didn't catch up, and when she comes back, she has to go and fill her grave with soil, and she will be relieved to have something underground."
Xianzhi was very happy to see his nephew, and while he was talking, if it wasn't for Qingbo's reminder, he would have forgotten about going to the grave.
On my grandmother's grave, the cold wind blew, and the ruined wreath trembled, making people look sad. Peng Xiang knelt beside the grave with his uncle, touching the scene, thinking of his grandmother in the past, now he is separated by yin and yang, and he can't help but feel sad. wisps of green smoke, whispered comfort, kowtowed, and saw the tears on his uncle's face......
On the afternoon of Pengxiang's departure, Xiaojun came, and she gave Pengxiang a new pair of insoles. Pengxiang wanted to call his sister-in-law but didn't say it, and he met a few times, but he was very angry, and he said a few words, which was considered to be a meeting.
Xiaojun is very good to her, her face is full of enthusiasm, and she looks very diligent, brushing the pot and washing the dishes and running to the head, but her mother is at a loss, and she doesn't know what to do. Looking at his brother, there was no smile on his face, and he was silent, Pengxiang found that since his sister-in-law came, his brother hadn't looked at her. Who can stand being so cold to others? Brother shouldn't be like this, at least on the surface, he should be kind to others, people come to your house is inherently restrictive, since coming together is also a relationship, you have to face the reality, feelings need to be cultivated, communication is needed, mutual acceptance is needed, cold words will only make matters worse, if you give her a smile, can she give you a slap? Impossible things, talk and do things and take a step back to open the sky, add up evil words, serve each other, ridicule each other, disrespect each other, how can you get along? Since you have come to this point, you have to face it well, don't talk about it easily, it's not good for anyone, don't talk about looks, just have a good heart, just have filial piety, do people live for individuals? No! It's living for others, and making others happy is the greatest happiness, isn't it? Life is full of unsatisfactory, it depends on how you face it, retreat at a little difficulty, complain about the sky, and can't withstand a little wind and waves, which can only show that you are a coward. Get along well and cultivate feelings, it's really not good, each other can't accept each other's words, it's easy to talk about it......
That's what he said to his brother and sister-in-law, and his brother retorted a few words at first, but finally stopped making a sound, is it true, that's it, the awkwardness all day long always makes the mood very bad, and it can't solve the problem.
My sister-in-law also has a deep understanding and seems to understand something, these days, she has behaved very well, very diligent, laundry and cooking, busy non-stop, and also called Peng Cheng to wash her feet at night, my brother's face is also much better, and he is much closer to his family. Wang Sen and Chunmei saw it in their eyes, they were very grateful to their youngest son, and praised that it is good to be knowledgeable, it can make people understand and convince people, I hope that the little couple can get better in the future, thinking, and regretting that they should not let their son drop out of school, it is still good to be educated, and I regret that I should not interfere too much in my son's marriage. Such a mentality has created such a situation.
It's been a few days, and Pengxiang wants to visit the uncle and aunt, no matter what, a kiss is a kiss. Chunmei obviously disagreed with her son's going, said a lot of what they were not, and said that he was still very angry, Pengxiang had no choice but to give up, his parents had enough troubles, and he couldn't block them anymore, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
One night, unexpectedly, the uncle and the aunt came, and they also brought more than a dozen eggs, which were boiled by Chunmei and eaten on the road to Pengxiang. This has never happened before, and Chunmei's original stomach was full of anger suddenly disappeared. My brother and sister-in-law took the initiative to come to the door to reconcile, what else can I do, and if I fight again, it will be a family, not to mention, in front of my uncle, Wang Shu took the initiative to admit his mistake, this boss was not a good one.
In fact, Wang Sen is not a person who holds grudges, yesterday, Jin Hua went to him and asked him to find some work to do, Wang Sen arranged him to work at the distribution point of the unit, maybe for this?
Wang Shu praised Pengxiang for a while, and he said to Xianzhi: "His grandfather said when he was alive that the next generation of our family can be a big official, and a few fortune tellers also said the same, and it really came true." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the room. Chunmei was very comfortable listening to his words, and Zhou Ni also picked up good words. At this time, all the dissatisfaction flew out of the clouds, and his eyes focused on Pengxiang's body, which made Pengxiang very uncomfortable.
The laughter was endless, and Wang Shu brought his words to the topic, "I heard that Jin Hua said that the town government recruited workers and gave you two places?" ”
"Yes," Wang Sen said casually.
"I don't know," Wang Shu said, obviously meaningful, he didn't tell him. Wang Sen understood what his brother meant, and hurriedly explained, "I thought you knew, this matter has been discussed for a long time, and you just went to a meeting, didn't you hear about it?" Wang Sen asked rhetorically.
"Your brother, elm is like a pimple and doesn't open his mind, and he will come after the meeting and dinner without being invited, what good thing can be his turn? You say your brother, you are angry when you talk about it, the secretaries of the surrounding villages are all vying to go to the town government to ask for food, your brother is flipping, not only is he not invited, but the commune never cares about the food, as if he spends his own money, it is really wood. Several children of the secretary of the neighboring village have changed, but he has no share, let him look for it, but he didn't open his mouth, he was born a wreck, and he married him for eight lifetimes. Zhou Ni said angrily.
Wang Shu didn't say a word, lowered his head and smoked a stuffy cigarette, letting his wife's number fall. It embarrasses the people in the room. Zhou Ni said this about his brother, Wang Sen was very reluctant, he understood the intention of his brother and sister-in-law, and it was too late to help, and it was approved, if it was half a month earlier, there might be hope, originally he thought that his brother would have at least one place, but he didn't expect it, alas!
Wang Shu said: "I'm not very familiar with Secretary Li Chun, can you tell him to ask for a place for our Jincheng, I think he is enough to take the exam." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late, why didn't you tell me earlier, I thought you had done it, but now it's all approved, it's not easy to do." The tone is also obviously complaining.
"I blame him for this, I told him to come to you, but he was not convinced, saying that as long as the secretary of another village has a quota, he will have it, how to say that we are also a model village, I will jump as soon as I say it, and I will jump when I say it. I also thought, maybe he is right, even if there is a quota for him, he has to be given a place, isn't he advanced every year. But now, everyone has it, but he doesn't have it, it's soft, don't jump," Zhou Ni sarcastically said.
Wang Shu didn't say a word, his face was sad, his children were resentful, his wife hated, and the taste was really uncomfortable.
Somehow, Chunmei had a feeling of schadenfreude, she thought to herself, let you do it again, this is God's retribution, anyway, my three children have gone out, no longer go to the farm, they have served iron rice bowls, and there is no need to build a house in the future, and even getting married is outside, and I can't ask for your door. remembered that when Peng Cheng got married, she was angry and did something, hurting the heavens and reason.
So, she said cool words, "If only I had told his uncle earlier, at least Jin Cheng would have to go out, delaying the child's life!" She said this on her lips, and in her heart, even if she had the opportunity to give my daughter-in-law, it would not be your turn.
Zhou Ni took her and said: "Who said no, if Jin Cheng is a girl, that's it, if the girl finds a mother-in-law to marry in the future, it's okay to worry about it, it's not necessary." Didn't his uncle ask for two places, anyway, Pengxiang didn't need us to worry about it, so Peng Cheng and Jin Cheng were left. What she meant couldn't have been clearer.
Chunmei is so angry, I said why the sun came out of the west today, it turned out that the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting and didn't have any good intentions, I want to occupy the quota of my child and let your child go out, you can figure out the old thing, the dignified secretary is not showing off her power all day long, she has the ability to make it, what do you ask me to do, do you treat me as a monkey, do you think I am stupid? Her face was hard to look at.
Wang Sen was also very angry when he heard it, but it was not good to attack in front of your father-in-law. But I thought to myself, is this possible? His own children and nephews are not much different, but they are always closer to their own children. Although Bai Xue is a girl, what is the difference between a boy and a girl? The place of the white snow cannot be allowed. What about Peng Cheng's quota, he can't let it go, especially now, he already feels very sorry for him, try his best to do this as compensation for his son, and it is impossible to let Peng Cheng give up the quota to Jin Cheng.
Before he could say anything, Chunmei preemptively said: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand this matter, how can you let it be decided, there are files." It's not a way for eggplant onions to come and go, it's impossible, it's all approved, and there are photos on the table. ”
Zhou Ni also insisted, Wang Shu interrupted him and said: "Since everything has been done, there is no way to do it, if there is such a thing in the future, you can tell me in advance, and say that the town should also give me a quota." Although he didn't say it explicitly, he still complained that Wang Sen didn't tell him earlier.
Wang Sen responded, he didn't bother with his brother anymore, he understood his brother's current mood, plus his sister-in-law kept complaining, the pressure must be very great. Zhou Ni saw that there was no hope, her face sank, and she complained again, "I didn't say you in front of my uncle, your secretary is too sloppy, over the years, I have gone through a lot of things, but I don't understand the world at all, compared with his uncle, the model worker every year, advanced, and a lot of honors, but what's the use?" ”
"Sister-in-law, don't complain, things are already like this, you can't make up for it anymore, there will be a chance in the future."
"Is it possible? To put it lightly, it's not that your own children are not in a hurry," Zhou Ni muttered.
"Just say a few words, and you will know how to complain," Wang Shu was angry.
This time, Zhou Ni stopped doing it, "What are you yelling at, you know that you are talking about your wife at home, and you are angry at me, and the child is still waiting at home, so you have the ability to ask for a place for the child!" ”
Seeing that the two of them are about to quarrel. Dedication is busy talking and peace.
Zhou Ni is still not breaking up, "If you tell me what you can do, and you will yell at home, you will take care of your wife at home and beat your children!" ”
Zhou Ni shed tears and left angrily, but Chun Meila didn't hold her.
"Send your sister-in-law back," Wang Shu whispered to Chunmei.
Chunmei understood and hurriedly chased out......
