CHAPTER XXXVII

"These children are debts." As soon as Mrs. Zhou walked out of Lao Lin's house, she sighed at Zhou Yan and Zhao Feifei, "This old Lin daughter-in-law is usually a very cool person, but as a result, when she meets her family, she has nothing to do." ”

"Mother~" Zhou Yan is a little weak-hearted, she is also an example of a headache that makes the family worry about headaches, it has only happened for a few days, she just can't forget it.

"Doesn't the eldest mother have a saying that 'raising a child is a hundred years old, and the long-term worry is ninety-nine'." Zhao Feifei didn't think so.

"That's just as well." Although Mrs. Zhou said that, she also agreed with what Zhao Feifei said, "Just like those stinky boys in our family, the eldest gave birth to a daughter-in-law and children, and he has to help take care of them." ”

"What about this second child, what's worse, this joining the army is not heard from for many years, and I am always worried that I will receive some bad news, and I am afraid in my heart."

"The third child is not much better, he is in his twenties and almost thirty, and he doesn't know how to find a daughter-in-law, this is always a person, I am afraid that there will be no one who knows cold and hot in the future, and there is no child who will support the elderly."

Mrs. Zhou followed Zhao Feifei's words and counted a few bad children in the family one by one, especially when she talked about Zhou Yang, she kept sweeping her eyes at Zhao Feifei, as if she was hinting at something, but it didn't seem to be.

"......" Zhao Feifei looked at Mrs. Zhou innocently, and she didn't think about other aspects for the time being, but it was difficult for Zhao Feifei, who had settled down in this era, to understand Mrs. Zhou's thoughts, and she just thought that Mrs. Zhou was simply worried about Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yan, who watched the whole thing from the sidelines, wanted to laugh very much, but as long as she thought that she was still in a loss, she could only endure the feeling of wanting to laugh, otherwise, she believed that her mother, Mrs. Zhou's face-loving temperament, would definitely make her unable to eat and walk around.

"Forget it." Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhao Feifei really didn't understand, and she couldn't lose her temper with her, so she had to scold Zhou Yang in her heart, her movements were slow, and she was so careful that the meat in her mouth was stolen.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Feifei was inexplicable by Mrs. Zhou's words that did not match her words.

"It's nothing, it's just the situation I just encountered at Lao Lin's house, which makes me think that this gift giving thing still needs to be thought again." In order to change the topic, Mrs. Zhou said what she had just thought at Lao Lin's house by the way.

"What's wrong? What's the problem? "Zhao Feifei still hasn't been in this era for a long time, and she doesn't have Mrs. Zhou's sensitivity to some situations.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too good, so it's not right." Mrs. Zhou explained to Zhao Feifei carefully.

"If it's good, why is it inappropriate?" Zhao Feifei really didn't understand.

"Well, it's also to blame that I didn't think of it before. Originally, seeing that you had prepared so many things, I wanted to say that I could help you gain a foothold in the village as soon as possible, and the people who received the things would also remember you. ”

"yes, isn't that so?"

"However, we didn't think about whether everyone thinks like this, and if we are not satisfied after getting something, will it still be like what we thought before."

"Auntie means that some people will think that I am soft and easy to handle, but they will slander me because of this?" Zhao Feifei's eyes narrowed, and her temperament was soft? Easy to handle? Scold~

"This village is so big, naturally there are all kinds of birds." Mrs. Zhou said meaningfully.

"But you can't afford not to send it, right?" Zhao Feifei finally understood what Mrs. Zhou meant, and thought about it.

"Yes." Mrs. Zhou smiled, sure enough, it feels best to communicate with smart people, and it can be understood at one point.

"That's why it's a bit of a trick." Zhao Feifei's eyes lit up and asked, "Auntie, you have lived in the village for so long, you must be familiar with the people in the village?" ”

"Yes." Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied that Zhao Feifei reacted so quickly.

"Then let's go."

Zhou Yan stupidly watched Mrs. Zhou and Zhao Feifei playing dumb riddles, and then the two of them didn't say anything, they took her away tacitly, always feeling as if her mother and Sister Zhao were planning something.

......

"The last person to go to is the house of the brigade secretary of our village." Mrs. Zhou took Zhao Feifei to the direction of the village, "You don't have to worry too much, this team secretary is my eldest brother, and with me, this is just a formality." ”

"Okay, today's hard work aunt has been with me for so long." Zhao Feifei said with a smile.

In fact, even if Mrs. Zhou didn't appease Zhao Feifei so much, she didn't worry too much. The people in the village, who were originally planned to be visited in two to three days, have been resolved in one evening today, in view of the temporary change of the plan to only visit those who are more kind.

However, the cadres in the village are in decline, and they all visited, of course, this visit ceremony is naturally not like ordinary people, and it is even thicker.

However, even so, Zhao Feifei completed it smoothly all the way, and successfully let Zhao Feifei see how much Mrs. Zhou can eat in this village. No matter which house they visited, they politely welcomed the three of them into the house and treated them well, although the best hospitality at this time was just a glass of sugar water with brown sugar.

However, now Zhao Feifei finally knows why she is a village cadre, and she is so polite and polite to Mrs. Zhou, can you not be polite to the sister of the secretary of the brigade.

You must know that this Zhoujia Village is not the kind of village that has migrated from various regions and has a mix of surnames. This Zhoujia Village can be said to be a big family in a village, and the secretary of this brigade is equivalent to the patriarch of the Zhou family, and the status of the patriarch in the family is not so simple.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm coming to see you." Mrs. Zhou didn't feel like a guest at her eldest brother's house at all, and before she entered the door, she shouted loudly.

"Why are you here so late?" As soon as Chen Xiao, the daughter-in-law of the secretary of the brigade and the sister-in-law who brought Mrs. Zhou up, heard the voice of her sister-in-law, she immediately greeted her and said, "I'm not afraid of any accidents." ”

"Aren't they all in the same village, how can it be so easy for accidents to happen." Mrs. Zhou and her sister-in-law looked like a good sister-in-law, chatting and entering the house.

"This is the girl who lived in your house." Sister-in-law Zhou saw the two little girls following Mrs. Zhou, and asked in a low voice, "You look so good." ”

"Yes, that's her." Mrs. Zhou is proud, if she marries a beautiful daughter-in-law, the grandson born in the future will not be ugly.

"Well, you shouldn't really hit that attention, can people be willing?" Sister-in-law Zhou looked at her sister-in-law's proud appearance, and suddenly remembered the incident in the village, and asked in disbelief.

"It's not a shadow yet." Mrs. Zhou talked about him left and right, and did not answer her sister-in-law's words directly.

"You, it's good to know in your own heart." Sister-in-law Zhou looked at her sister-in-law's appearance, and she didn't say much, after all, she was a sister-in-law and she was already married.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm just trying, I finally met a girl who is in my heart for Yangzi, and I have to see if I can do it." Mrs. Zhou knew from her sister-in-law's appearance that she didn't have much confidence in this matter, in fact, she didn't have much confidence, but if she didn't try it, she wouldn't be reconciled, did she really want her to watch her little son grow up alone.

The youngest son and the eldest grandson, the life, roots, and sons of the old lady. This Zhou Yang is Mrs. Zhou's life, root, and son, no matter how you have to try, if it really doesn't work, you can only accept your fate.

"Maybe things can really be done, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and with Yangzi's ability, I am afraid that other girls will not look down on them?" Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't bear it when she saw her sister-in-law like this, but she persuaded with a smile on her face.

"Then borrow the words of my sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhou didn't want her mother's family to worry about her, so she eased her emotions, and then said with a smile on her face.

"Little sister, why did you come here so late?" Don't look at Zhou Daqiang is the secretary of the brigade of Zhoujia Village, he looks serious and majestic on the outside, even at home, the child is afraid of him, but for his only sister, the expression on his face is still relaxed.

"Big brother, it's not me looking for you today." Mrs. Zhou said mysteriously to her eldest brother.

"Huh?" Zhou Daqiang looked at his sister curiously.

Mrs. Zhou kept her mouth shut, no matter how Zhou Daqiang looked, he didn't speak, he just wanted him to guess for himself.

"If you don't say it, can't I really guess?" Zhou Daqiang glanced at his sister-in-law, and turned his head to look at Zhao Feifei and Zhou Yan who came with Mrs. Zhou.

"Since it's not a little sister, it's impossible for a swallow."

"How could it be?" Mrs. Zhou was unconvinced.

"If it's really a swallow, do you want you, the mother, to bring her over? She had already come to me for help herself. Zhou Daqiang still understands the character of his niece.

Mrs. Zhou listened to her eldest brother's explanation, although she still complained in her mouth, but she also knew her daughter's temperament.

"Uncle, are you burying your niece like this?" Zhou Yan complained angrily to her uncle, but she was not really angry.

"You." Zhou Daqiang smiled dotingly, who let him and his sister have several children, but Zhou Yan is a girl, naturally more than a stinky boy with rough skin and thick flesh.

"Who is this comrade?" As soon as Zhou Daqiang saw Zhao Feifei, a stranger, he knew who the person who was looking for him was something.

"Secretary Zhou, hello, my name is Zhao Feifei, and I am going to settle down in this village, so I came to visit." Zhao Feifei's simple and neat sentence made the cause and effect clear.

"Comrade Zhao, hello." As soon as Zhou Daqiang heard Zhao Feifei's name, he knew in his heart that this was the girl who lived in his sister-in-law's house temporarily, no wonder his sister-in-law would come with him, "Then are you going to leave your household registration in the village?" ”

Zhou Daqiang said so, but it was just a formality, how could a girl from the city be willing to leave her hukou in the village, work in the field all day to earn work, and usually do not have any tickets, and she has to work hard, facing the loess with her back to the sky.

"I'm not in a hurry to get the hukou in advance, the county is already doing it, this time I'm just coming over to talk to the eldest brother first." As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard her eldest brother ask about the household registration, she hurriedly interjected into the words of the two.

Before, because I was not sure whether I could leave my household registration in the county seat, neither Zhou Yang nor the Zhou family had passed the matter out, and even Zhou Daqiang, the secretary of the brigade, did not know, so there was a symbolic question now.

"That's good, it's just that your hukou doesn't fall in our village, if you are really ready to settle here, our village will not be able to grant you a foundation to build a house." Zhou Daqiang was a little embarrassed, it is said that this person was brought over by his sister-in-law, even if there is any preferential treatment, he will not give it to others, no matter what, the foundation still has to be approved, but this household registration ......

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't approve the foundation." Mrs. Zhou was not at all as reluctant as her eldest brother imagined, and she was busy responding.

"But......" Zhou Daqiang hesitated, if the foundation was not approved, how could the girl settle in the village.

"But what is it?" Mrs. Zhou turned white and looked like a wooden stake, "What does it matter if you don't approve the foundation, you can continue to live in my house, this is not much easier than building a house and saving money, you should think that the money is blowing in the wind." ”

"Auntie, I know you mean well, but the money that should be spent still has to be spent, what is the matter with living in Auntie's house." Zhao Feifei kindly refused, this is just a temporary stay for a while and a half, isn't it hated to live all the time, not to mention that the foundation is not impossible to spend money to buy, but I don't know what the specific price is.

"I'll talk about that later, and I'll talk about it later." Mrs. Zhou laughed in the funny eyes of the crowd, "By the way, sister-in-law, these are the visit gifts that Fei Fei prepared for you, and they are all their specialties there." ”

Mrs. Zhou handed the things to her sister-in-law and left first. As for Zhao Feifei and Zhou Yan, she was not worried, she knew that they would follow as soon as she left.

Really......

"Yanzi, you also take Comrade Zhao home first, it's so late, rest early." Sister-in-law Zhou saw that her sister-in-law left first, so she had to tell Zhao Feifei and the others to go home early.
