Volume 1: Unspeakable Absurdity Chapter 8: Poor Parents' Hearts
In fact, Tiemin can ride a bicycle to take Aunt Zhou home, so that there is no need for Liu Dongmei to go to the train station hand in hand with her godmother.
Tie Min deliberately let Aunt Zhou take the train home.
He had good reason. Bicycles are not allowed to carry people in the urban area, not to mention that his bicycle does not have a license plate, if he is caught by the police, the bicycle will be confiscated, and the heavy one may be punished.
At that time, bicycles were similar to our private cars today.
On the back shelf of every bike, a license plate that is not much larger than a cigarette case must be hung. Moreover, once you encounter a routine inspection by the public security, first check whether the license plate matches the frame number, and if something goes wrong, it will be great.
Zhou Zhiqiang has the right idea, he has always spent his money on the blade.
After graduating from Tie Min's junior high school, Zhou Zhiqiang went to the bicycle black market under Hongqiao and bought this bicycle for Tie Min for ten yuan. The standard assembled car, the rim of the flying pigeon, the permanent girder, this large chain box is the most valuable, it is the Phoenix brand.
Anyway, Tiemin only rides bicycles in the town, and he can't easily touch the public security.
The iron people rode on it, bought rice and noodles, and could also chop firewood and cinders, anyway, when it came to carrying and carrying work, this bicycle came in handy.
Aunt Zhou never doubted Tie Min's words, and she didn't know that this big turtle calf had also learned to lie.
Tie Min saw that Liu Dongmei and Aunt Zhou had gone to the train station, he got on his bicycle, and he was busy with his feet, and it took less than forty minutes to get home.
Tie Min first had to thank Liu Dongmei for his share of the burrito, and pressed him on the bench to "snort" and slept a lot.
He was a young man in his early twenties, he had eaten enough, slept enough, and had enough strength in his body.
Tie Min estimated that it would take at least an hour for Mom to get home.
He entered the house, and the son was washing the dishes. As soon as he saw him, it was like hearing the starting pistol, and he raised his leg and ran to the inner room. He put the bicycle in the kitchen, didn't chase the child, first went to turn the lid of the pot, and deliberately made a noise.
Ichiko had already jumped on the windowsill, but I didn't see Tetsumin chasing after him, and I heard the sound of kitchen pots and pans again. He jumped down tentatively, tiptoeing his head out of the back room.
It's a plan to give birth to a child!
Tiemin hid at the door of the outer room, and he grabbed Shengzi by the collar, and it was too late for Shengzi to run away.
"Hand over the money happily, I won't beat you." Tie Min first proposed a quid pro quo.
Shengzi looked aggrieved and defended: "Mom gave me three yuan, and I was asked to buy meat and stewed beans." ”
"What's the money?" Yanzi, who was writing her homework on the kang table in the outer room, her eyes lit up and she said, "Second brother, give me something." ”
Tie Min didn't say a word, and directly dragged his son into the inner room, pressed it on the kang, and began to search his body.
Don't say anything, you must have been betrayed by Liu Dongmei.
When Tiemin searched his whole body and couldn't find a penny, he explained, "I came back and met the thief." ”
Tie Min raised his slap and put on a posture of wanting to beat the child, saying: "You still have a face, you scold others, and add face to exchange other people's things for money." ”
"The money is really lost." Shengzi knows that with physical strength, he is not his brother's opponent, and his parents are not at home, so he dares to say a word that he is not good at, and he can't avoid this fight.
If a single person doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, he can only sell miserably.
Tie Min is the eldest brother after all, and the anger in his heart has long since disappeared, and he just wants to do everything possible to reduce his losses.
He used a trick for his son: hanging his wrist. The birth of a child hurt so much that the father screamed at the mother, and he surrendered obediently in three or five seconds.
Tie Min learned this trick from Liu Shoucheng, and used it on the true spirit of the child.
With tears in his eyes, Shengzi took out a shoe from under the cabinet and took out the fifteen dollars hidden under the insole.
The Iron People got their wish.
He went to the kitchen to bring in a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of rice, and when he saw that the kang table was occupied by Yanzi, he stood by the cabinet and began to eat.
Shengzi sat on the edge of the kang, shaking his wrists, pondering how to avenge this arrow.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he ran out with a "whoop", almost knocking Aunt Zhou on the head, and complained: "Mom, brother beat me." ”
Don't look at Tiemin's stupidity, he can dry it up.
Aunt Zhou listened, and before Shengzi could defend herself, her hand that was carrying the copper and iron firmly pinched the root of Shengzi's thigh, and when she twisted it hard, Shengzi burst into tears and cried with a big mouth.
"You don't want to be angry, you dare to take advantage of any bargain." Aunt Zhou didn't let go, and asked her son, "Do you dare next time?" ”
"Don't dare, I really don't dare." Shengzi was trembling in pain, and when Aunt Zhou let go of his hand, he limped outside and cried.
"Tie Min, what are you going to do about this?" Aunt Zhou frowned and was worried.
If relatives can't do it, they can't lose their virtues.
"I'm going to buy something and give it back to someone." Tie Min found a good reason for himself to go to Wang Li's house in a grand manner.
Hearing that Tie Min was going to see Wang Li again, Aunt Zhou was unhappy.
She knew that it was impossible to tie Tie Min to the belt of her trousers, and she did not allow him to see Wang Li, but she wanted to maintain the ruling power of the family in terms of form.
"Don't forget how your dad got sick." Aunt Zhou glanced at Tiemin, and Quandang showed her attitude.
"What are my father and Wang Li worried about?" This is what Tiemin is most concerned about, and he thinks his mother knows.
"You ask me, I ask who to go!"
Aunt Zhou raised her voice, and sighed uncontrollably: "Don't blame me for not warning you, your father picked up his life this time, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen next time, you can do it." ”
Tie Min only cared about eating with his head bored, and didn't dare to say anything more. Anyway, he made up his mind, and he also made it clear to his father that Wang Li would not marry in this life.
"You big turtle calf, you still think there are few things at home." Aunt Zhou has never spoken in an orderly manner, she can say wherever she thinks: "If you give birth to a child with little arms and legs, what should you do if you pluck it all of a sudden." ”
"Who told him not to learn well." Tie Min didn't dare to breathe in front of his father, and when he talked to his mother, he had a lot less worries.
Aunt Zhou got up on the kang, stuffed her hand under the quilt, and pulled out a small cloth bag.
Seeing Yanzi holding a pencil in her mouth, she looked directly at her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Turn your face away." ”
Yanzi was really obedient, and she turned her face away.
Aunt Zhou opened the cloth bag and revealed a stack of banknotes. She let out a long sigh, counted out three ten-yuan bills from them, thought for a while, and said, "Tiemin, you are the first to cause trouble, and you have to take care of it." I'll give you twenty dollars, and you will pay the rest. ”
Aunt Zhou took back a ten-yuan bill, handed the remaining twenty yuan, and said, "You add another fifteen yuan, make up fifty yuan, and send it back to the old Wang family." From now on, neither of us owe anyone. ”
When Tie Min first saw his mother take out his wallet, he was a little moved, and said in his heart: "Forget it, don't take the family money, I'll find a way." ”
Seeing his mother's swishing appearance, especially the last sentence, no one owes anyone from now on, Tiemin "Teng" became angry.
He took out the fifteen yuan, threw it on the kang and said, "I don't care who likes to go." ”
Tiemin packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Aunt Zhou stuffed the cloth bag back into the quilt, and her heart was also puffing up.
On a good day, because the big turtle calf didn't learn well, he hung a horse outside, so he became sick with the anger of the housekeeper.
If Tie Min is a filial and obedient child, let the matchmaker introduce a partner to him, and don't say how good or bad he looks, at least he can know what family the other party is, what is the name of his parents, and where he works, and he will not fall to the point where he is today.
The more Aunt Zhou thought about it, the more angry she became, she thought about it, and shouted loudly: "Let me tell you, your father doesn't agree, and you don't expect to marry Wang Li into the family in your life." ”
"Boom", the kitchen heard the sound of dishes and chopsticks falling to the ground.
Aunt Zhou stomped her foot angrily and said, "You big turtle calf, a loser's thing, you want to make your father angry to death!" ”
Tiemin was in the kitchen, cleaned up the broken bowls, went straight back to the back room, laid out the bedding for him and his son, got into the bed, and closed his eyes.
Aunt Zhou still didn't give up, he broke into the inner room, sat on the kang with one butt, hooked one leg, pressed the other leg, and chattered: "What's the matter, Wang Li has grown immortal hair, and she has hooked your soul away, you don't even want your father for her." ”
Tie Min closed his eyes, tossing up and down in his heart, but he was too lazy to say a word. Let his mother keep chattering with that number, he made up his mind.
Since his parents are so opposed to this marriage, there is no need for him to say anything more.
As long as his father was discharged from the hospital and his condition stabilized, he took the household registration book and went to the marriage registration procedures with Wang Li.
The law is allowed, see what else you can do.
Once a person is freed, there is no burden in his heart. Aunt Zhou was still nagging here, and Tie Min was already snoring.
This is Aunt Zhou, who grew up in the countryside and never went to school for a day. Most of the education she received when she was a child was taught by her parents.
Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog.
Since the head of the house has already expressed her attitude, although she can't bear it, she can only resolutely comply.
In fact, she was also very puzzled.
When the head of the family saw Wang Li for the first time, he couldn't wait to marry someone into the door immediately, for fear that if he was a step too late, the good girl would be snatched away by others.
Before the head of the family went to meet her in-laws, he was still thinking with her, spending two money to clean up the house and use it for Tiemin and Wang Li to get married.
In less than half an hour, the person who and dried, before he had time to lift his pants, the head of the house came back, and his lips were purple with anger.
She wanted to ask what was going on, but she was scolded by the master.
Usually at home, no matter what Zhou Zhiqiang says, Aunt Zhou has a few words to deal with him, she knows that what she says is nonsense, and the final decision is still with Zhou Zhiqiang, so she has to be happy.
She didn't know how much she was scolded for this, and she was even beaten. But she just doesn't have a long memory, and when she encounters something again, she still opens her mouth to say.
Those are all trivial matters in the daily life of the family, and Aunt Zhou is used to being scolded.
When it comes to such a major event as a man marrying a woman, Aunt Zhou is not ambiguous at all, and she must listen to the master.
Men marry women, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers, this is the rule.
Aunt Zhou knew that Tie Min was an obedient child, but he was just confused for a while, and he was confused. I believe that it won't take long for him to understand a truth: everything his parents do is for his good.
Aunt Zhou was purely idle at home, and Zhou Zhiqiang was lying in the hospital, thinking differently.
The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, he raised Tiemin from childhood to adulthood, Tiemin thought about him everywhere, it was this stubbornness, that was really a toad without hair, follow his roots.
He also came from a young age, especially on the issue of male and female love, which is quite a voice.
Men don't care what they look like, and when they see a beautiful woman, they want to pull her into their bed. It is eye-catching and comfortable, this is human nature.
However, the face can't produce rice, and beautiful women are the most attractive, this is Zhou Zhiqiang's experience to persuade Tiemin.
Tie Min is kind-hearted, without those Kagu eyes, once he meets a woman like Wang Li, he will definitely be confused and take out his intestines, stomach, heart, liver and lungs to others.
Zhou Zhiqiang has this self-confidence, Tie Min was fascinated by Wang Li, he couldn't turn the corner for a while, it is estimated that it will not be long, as long as he is trained a little, Tie Min will obediently obey his arrangement.
How to train it?
In Zhou Zhiqiang's view, Liu Dongmei's appearance is a blessing given to the old Zhou family by the sky, and he must cherish it.
Zhou Zhiqiang also thought of another question, Tie Min must ask him for a reason, as long as he tells the real reason, whether it is Wang Li or Liu Dongmei, Tie Min will definitely be able to respect his choice.
But then again, people have faces, trees have bark, Zhou Zhiqiang has lived a lifetime, and what he cares about most is this worthless face.
He is a father, how can he "snap, snap" in front of his children, and slap his two big mouths first, isn't that psychotic.
Of course, he has already smoothed out an idea and asked Liu Dongmei to be Tiemin's daughter-in-law.
As Aunt Zhou said, this girl has a prosperous husband and a pair of good hands who can run a family.
