Chapter 3 Peach Cake
"Girl, I'll accompany you home. Wang Yazhi looked at Kou Xi worriedly: "Just say that I am watching you there, and I won't let you change your name!"
Kou Xi looked at the righteous Wang Yazhi with a smile, shook his head and said, "This was originally my own idea, what does it have to do with you." Besides, if you stink with them, what will you think of me when you come to the house in the future!"
Wang Yazhi frowned: "Then how will you deal with them in the future? What about your father-in-law?"
Kou Xi rolled his eyes: "Do they still dare to kick me out? What can my father-in-law say? This matter itself is a matter of my mother's family, what can I do if I regret it temporarily!"
Without waiting for Wang Yazhi to say anything more, Kou Xi urged her and said, "Oh, sister, you don't have to think about it." They want to mess with me, so I'll move out of the house. The family has no money, and they are embarrassed to say anything. ”
She looked at the sky and smiled, "Sister, you've been out for a long time." It's time for my niece to breastfeed, so go home. I went to the supplies to meet my colleagues. ”
Anyway, after signing and filling out the list, Director Wang couldn't let her change it. Wang Yazhi thought about the daughter who was not yet a year old in the family, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go home." If Lao Chen's family bullies you, don't be afraid that you will run to our house. When it's time to pour in, I'll pack them up!"
Kou Xi smiled and nodded, looking at Wang Yazhi's back. She began to walk slowly around the town, reminiscing about the past as she went.
The past is still like a cloud of smoke, and at this moment, the scenes in my memory appear in front of me, and many things are slowly remembered.
Whether it's a dream or a real return, Kou Xi knows that she can't go on like she used to.
She remembered that it was supposed to be 1987, when Huo An went home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. He is twenty-eight years old and has not yet married, and his relatives and neighbors are saying that Huo Dagui is not. Therefore, on family leave that year, Huo Dagui worked hard to give Huo Anxiang's daughter-in-law everywhere.
Although Hoan is an active-duty soldier and seems to be in demand, he is not without fault.
First, the Huo family is complicated. Second, Huo An is too old. Third, that is, Huo An himself is too fierce.
If it weren't for Huo An's military dress, he would have added a lot of points to himself. Just because he has a face that seems to be carrying ten murders, any girl who sees it has to run.
Wang Yazhi is her cousin, and she is married to Uncle Huo An's family. Wang Yazhi is clear about how his father-in-law is worried about Huo An in his heart, and Huo An's future plans.
immediately found the Kou family to discuss this matter, but he didn't expect that the old man of the Kou family was very optimistic about Huo An.
What does it matter if you're old? Seven or eight years old just hurts people!
What does it matter if the family is complicated? After getting married, I left with the army, and I didn't have contact with my in-laws' family.
What does it matter if a man doesn't look at his appearance and looks at his character and future! If Huo An wants to stay in the army for the rest of his life, this is a good thing, and this is to eat an iron rice bowl, and Kou Xi doesn't have to worry about following him.
Father Kou made a decision at the moment, and he could meet this Huo An.
And Kou Xi, who was only twenty years old at the time, went on a blind date in such a daze. On the day of the blind date, he didn't say a few words to Huo An, but Kou Dad kept chatting with Huo An. I don't know how, the more I chat, the more satisfied I am. They were engaged five days later, and the two exchanged letters. It wasn't until later that Huo An wrote that the marriage report was finished, but he couldn't join the army for the time being, and he could only live in Huo's house temporarily after getting married.
Kou Xi took the letter to his father, and he was very happy in his heart. She had been to Huo An's house and seen it, and the family was very lively. The laughter inside and outside the house was very lively, and this warmth made Kou Xi's eyes hot. She remembered that she was extremely resolute at that time, and she had to live with the Huo family. She didn't listen to Kou's father's advice, and she couldn't understand Huo An's hesitation.
Just planted headlong into it, stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out.
Thinking about my stupid past, thinking about the years when I was in a nest. Kou Xi wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why didn't he wake up earlier? But when he got divorced, he learned from his father's mouth what the truth of the matter was.
Huo An asked her to remarry and wanted to take her to live with the army. But how can she go without any guilt? Thinking about the stupid things she has done, she herself hates shame.
Li Cuilian told Gao Liman that Huo An had a small one in the army, and he hated himself as an uneducated rural person. She believed it when she said too much, and ran to the army to find him on the pretext of visiting relatives.
There is a thorn in the heart, how can he live a good life? Find a reason, and when you see him talking to other women, you will go up and beat people.
That Zhao Xiaona didn't just hit her mouth and beat her nose bloody. The incident of making a big fuss about the family building made Kou Xi famous in the army.
Kou Xi, who is already scarred, although she is stupid, she still has her own backbone. Since she filed for divorce, there is absolutely no possibility of turning back. Even if her husband is the deputy head of the regiment, even if she has nothing after the divorce!
Thinking about it, Kou Xi has already walked around half of Hongqi Town, which is divided into three parts. Her area is the most prosperous business district, with hospitals, supply and marketing cooperatives, material bureaus, post offices, agricultural banks, bus stations and the only restaurant on this street.
The easternmost is Luyidang, and after two years, some people began to contract Ludang to raise fish. To the west is the grain depot, and the people who work there are also very face-saving.
To the south is the town hall, opposite the town hall is the elementary school, and across a small bridge to the south is a middle school.
Kou Xi remembers that it seemed that not long after the dissolution of the supply and marketing cooperative, the vacant land in front of the middle school playground was contracted out. The family planted grapes, and his family's vineyard was the only vineyard in the nearby village of Shiliba, and the business was very good.
Speaking of which, Hongqi Town is a land of fish and rice. It is surrounded by lakes on both sides and is extremely rich in fishery resources, and the yield of rice is also very high. The geographical location is excellent, and you can make sure that you can make a profit in any transaction.
Kou Xi's heart began to heat up when he thought of this, if he really came back. Why didn't she do something and make money from the prophet in her memory.
The more I thought about Kou Xi, the more excited I became, now that she was going to work in supplies, it was a great opportunity.
The salesperson in the supplies has to go out to load the goods by herself, and she has a lot of opportunities to inspect the market. After making money, he divided the family first, and then took his grandparents and father to his side. It's the best thing in life!
Thinking of this, Kou Xi turned around and returned to the supplies, and bought a pound of peach crisp on the counter. This peach crisp is a piece of five pounds, and there are not a few pieces of a pound.
Kou Xi knew that she would go home at this time, and the family would definitely be very angry when they knew that she did not replace the place for her brother-in-law. Give a slap to a sweet date, and I happen to be familiar with their faces.
Kou Xi has been used to carrying a few dollars in his trouser pocket since he was a child. Sure enough, when I touched it, I found two dollars. Thinking of the current prices, the corners of Kou Xi's mouth twitched and he did not comment.
The Huo family is low-lying, and when you stand at the mouth of the alley and look down, you can see what the family is doing in the yard. At this time, Huo Tianyi was running crazy in the yard, and Li Cuilian was pulling weeds in the vegetable garden. And Gao Liman, who has always been lazy, doesn't know where to go, so he wants to hide in the house and coax the child to be lazy.
Kou Xi pushed open the door, and Huo Tianyi saw what she was holding. At that moment, he threw away the bricks in his hand and rushed over. Stared excitedly at the peach crispy drooling in Kou Xi's hand.
"Do you want to eat it?" Kou Xi shook the peach crisp in his hand and asked with a smile.
"Think, auntie, did you buy it for me?" said the child, swallowing as he spoke.
Kou Xi squatted down and asked softly, "Then you answer my question well, and I'll give you a piece of peach crisp to eat." ”
Huo Tian nodded: "Okay!"
"Is your dad home?" Kou Xi asked.
"I'm not at home, I'm going to play mahjong!" Huo Tianyi replied honestly.
"Where's your grandfather?"
"Soak beans in the tofu room!" Huo Tianyi urged anxiously: "Auntie, have you asked enough?"
Kou Xi patted his head, took out a piece of walnut from the oiled paper bag and handed it to him: "Eat it slowly, there will be no more after eating!"
The moment Kou Xi entered the house, Li Cuilian saw her. I wanted to ask about work, but I waited for a while when I saw her teasing the child with a peach cake.
Seeing Huo Tian happily swinging the peach cake into the house, Li Cuilian stood in the rain vegetable garden and shouted at Kou Xi: "Kou Xi, is the matter done?"
Kou Xi nodded, pretending to be as gentle as usual: "Hmm!"
I heard that the matter was done, and Li Cuilian's heart finally fell to the ground. At present, this attitude has also changed 180 degrees, and the tone has also changed. Said sourly: "You are really rich, and you still buy peach cakes." ”
Seeing that Kou Xi didn't hand her a piece as expected, Li Cuilian was a little unhappy. At the moment, he said sharply: "Why are you so picky, just give the child a piece." Give me two more dollars, it's still a big lady, it's nothing like it!"
Kou Xi pouted and said, "It's good to give a piece, let his parents buy it if you want to eat it." I'm not the one to!"
Li Cuilian was stunned, she never thought that Kou Xi, who had always been submissive and unassertive, would dare to fight back?
Is this worth it? Take her Li Cuilian as a vegetarian?
used to coax her to see that she had a job to give up to her son. Now that the job is set, she is useless, I really think that I dare not mess with her as an ancestor.
Li Cuilian threw away the hoe in her hand, strode to the fence of the vegetable garden, and glared at Kou Xi viciously: "What are you talking about?"
"I said, it's good for me to be a lady and give a piece of peach cake. What else do you want? If you want to eat, let his mother buy it, I don't have any money!" After saying that, Kou Xi turned around and went back to the house.
Li Cuilian blinked in disbelief, and then said violently: ", who are you talking to?"
