Chapter 678: Under the Old Locust Tree
Under the old locust tree with a wall clock in the village, there is an old lady sitting in a circle to enjoy the shade, after the peony flowering period, there are no tourists in the village to see the flowers, and the old lady has returned to the quiet of the past, and the old ladies gather here again to talk about gossip to pass the boring days. The mother of the leather monkey www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" Pavilion shook the broken pu fan, looked at the old locust tree with sparse leaves, and said irritably, "For so many years, I have never seen this old locust tree so unenergetic, and I don't know if it can survive." ”
Zhou Zhenggen's daughter-in-law next to her also nodded in agreement, "Yes, my wife has lived in Beigou Village for almost fifty years, and it is the first time I have seen it like this. Mr. Feng Shui said that this old tree is the root of our village, and if it dies, our village will be finished. ”
The leather monkey's mother also nodded, "Sister-in-law Zhenggen, you still have to tell Li Zheng about this matter, it's okay for you to talk in front of him, it's useless for a few of us to talk." ”
Zhou Zhenggen and his daughter-in-law are the oldest couple in the village, who are kind and popular in the village. Zhou Zhenggen's old wife nodded, "Cheng, I'll tell him about this." I remember when Zhengyang's mother was pregnant with him, she dreamed that a long black worm with a long red crown crawled out of the big locust tree, and the next day she gave birth to Zhengyang, and my old man said that this child was extraordinary. It's been more than 40 years, isn't Zhengyang an extraordinary, if it weren't for him, our village wouldn't be so prosperous. ”
"Yes, it's been more than forty years, and Zhengyang has been dead for ten years, right?" Zhou Suyi's mother-in-law, Jin, also waved a broken pu fan and sighed, "These days are going so fast." ”
Zhou Manho's old wife, that is, Zhou Yang's mother, broke her fingers, "Isn't it, it's been twelve years now." I remember that when she died, it was the Mangzhong Festival, and every family was busy half dead, and Zhengyang's father complained a few words that she didn't pick a good time even if she did. ”
When people get older, they just sit in one place and think about the big and small things that happened before, and after chatting for a long time, Zhou Zhenggen's old wife pulled the topic to the living again, "If you want to say that our village, the most promising now, can be regarded as the two boys of the Minshan family, who are in charge of the accounts of the big business in the city, which is much stronger than the old Wang family in the south of the village. ”
The mother of the leather monkey snorted, and her tone was two points lower, a typical old woman who gossiped mysteriously, "Those two boys from the Minshan family can't grow up." The eldest son of his family was discounted and raised at home, and the second son wrapped Sister Yao in the city, and also made out the child, you look at it, these two brothers are about to be resigned by the owner. ”
Zhou Manchu's old wife, Man, also gloated a little and said, "The old Wang family is also evil, and they are all guilty of doing anything, and the wood and adobe used to build the house are piled up in a yard, and now they can't be built; The two boys had an accident again, and I heard that the mother-in-law of the second boy had come to make trouble several times. This morning, I saw Minshan's daughter-in-law enter the city in a carriage, and she is about to go to burn incense again. ”
"Hmph, it's useless to burn incense!" The mother of the leather monkey squinted at the Qingshan Inn on the east slope, "I told them a long time ago that the widow who remarried can't enter the door again, they don't listen, and let Wei Ji's daughter-in-law come to the door twice in three days, isn't this a disaster?" ”
Zhou Suyi's mother Jin frowned, she didn't like to listen to it, "You can't say that, Wei Ji's daughter-in-law is blessed, if it weren't for her, Lao Wang's family wouldn't be able to get up, and Wei Ji couldn't afford to build such a big house and get such a big piece of family business!" ”
Man Shi snorted and said sourly, "No matter how big the family business is, Wei Ji is not killed by her and went to war with his head, it is not certain that he will come back with his life, and I don't know who is cheaper than that large family business." ”
Jin glanced at her, "Wei Ji's daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, I don't think she has a bad temper these days." Don't bother to say this here, just say it in front of her! ”
Man's neck was stalked, and his voice was much higher, "Just say it, I am also her aunt in terms of seniority, and she dares to slap me with a big-eared scraper!" ”
"That's really maybe, isn't your daughter-in-law slapped by her, why don't you go up and try it?" The mother of the leather monkey smiled, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, just make a couple, yo, take a look, isn't that Wei Ji's daughter-in-law?" ”
As soon as Man Shi turned around, he saw Lan Yi, who was being helped by the little maid at home, and shrank back uncomfortably, for fear that she would hear what she had just said.
Seeing her like this, Kim laughed and coughed.
Man's face was also uncomfortable, and he shouted loudly, "Wei Ji's family, where is this coming, has Wei Ji come from these days?" ”
Zhou Weiji, it has been a month since the letter came, which is also what Lan Yi is most worried about, but she didn't show it at all, and said with a smile, "The letter just came at the beginning of this month, how can there be a letter so quickly." ”
The Jin family looked at Lan Yi's belly that was not yet pregnant, "It's this Li'er, it's been almost three months, have you seen it a man or a woman?" ”
Lan Yi touched her lower abdomen and said in a soft voice, "It's almost March, and the month is still young, so I can't tell men and women." ”
"In my opinion, it must be a male baby!" Man Shi smiled flatteringly, "Have you dreamed of any fetus lately, have you dreamed of a long worm or a dragon or something?" ”
The people in the village believe in the dream of the fetus, and no matter what the pregnant woman dreams of, they can tell some truth. Lan Yi shook her head slightly, "No." Grandma was chatting, and I went to the village. ”
Everyone nodded and watched Lan Yi slowly walk into the village. "Wei Ji is stunned, he is blessed, you see, which daughter-in-law can be like her when she is pregnant, more and more watery, tsk, this little face is tender, and she can pinch out the water! Wei Hai's daughter-in-law has gained a lot of weight there, and she doesn't look like she is here at all. Zhou Zhenggen's old wife sighed a few times and stood up, "Let's go, go home and sleep, and go to the hillside to dig wild vegetables later, will you go?" ”
"If you don't have a good body, I won't go, and this old bone in the province will be explained in the mountains." The mother of the leather monkey also stood up and prepared to go home. This year, the weather is dry, the county let everyone save water and food, dig more wild vegetables to dry and store for eating, the hillside in the south and north of the village has been turned over, and then dig up the mountain.
As soon as a few people dispersed, Zhao Lizheng rode into the village, and after returning to the village, he patted the dust all over his body, drank two large bowls of boiled water before entering the house, and smiled at Lan Yi, "There is less rain, and there is more floating soil on the road, and you have to eat two taels of soil when you go back and forth to the county!" ”
Lan Yi nodded in agreement, "I've worked hard for Uncle Yang, sit down and rest." ”
Zhao Lizheng knew that Lan Yi must have something to do when he came over, and it happened that he also had something to discuss with Lan Yi, so he sat down and asked, "You have something to do here, if you have anything to say in the future, let Shui Xiu and them come and talk to me, I'll just go over." ”
Although Zhao Lizheng is an elder, he never puts an elder in front of Lan Yi, and he still has a little respect for Lan Yi from the bottom of his heart. Lan Yi smiled and shook her head, "It's not good to be bored at home all the time." Uncle Li Zheng, the water level of Huaxi is getting lower and lower, it can't go on like this, is there any idea in the county? ”
