Volume 2: Heart-rending Perseverance Chapter 25, Good Things to Think About
Tie Min sat there silently, hoping that his father would say more about Xie Guizhi.
Zhou Zhiqiang himself is not good at talking, he is usually with Tiemin, he has something to say, he is busy with everything, and there is no nonsense at all.
At this time, what he should have said has been said, and what he shouldn't say will definitely not say a word. Hearing Aunt Zhou's voice outside the house, he got up and went out.
Aunt Zhou got off work and went to the vegetable market for a turn.
Liu Dongmei came home for the first time, and bought vegetables out of her own pocket at noon. When she is a godmother, she should always say something.
Aunt Zhou bought five yuan of pork and two bundles of celery, and when she entered the house, she raised her voice and said, "Tomorrow morning, let's make dumplings and eat." ”
Zhou Zhiqiang returned to the outer room, and saw that the kang table had been set up, Liu Dongmei served the leftover dishes from noon, and specially fried a plate of peanuts for Zhou Zhiqiang, as well as the pig's feet brought back by Tiemin.
Liu Dongmei asked Zhou Zhiqiang: "Godfather, do you drink?" ”
Zhou Zhiqiang smiled "hehe", stretched out his hand to the wine jar on the cabinet, and was pushed away by Aunt Zhou and said, "You don't want to die." ”
"Just take a drink." Zhou Zhiqiang was in a rare good mood, Aunt Zhou hesitated, decided to meet Zhou Zhiqiang's request, took a small wine cup, and wanted to pour him wine.
"No, I almost forgot, the doctor said that you are not allowed to drink alcohol for at least a month." Liu Dongmei snatched the wine cup in Aunt Zhou'er's hand, poured the wine into the jar, stopped in front of Zhou Zhiqiang and said, "When your illness is completely cured, I will go home and catch a chicken for you, let my father come, and accompany you to have a good drink." ”
Zhou Zhiqiang swallowed his saliva and smiled and put his slippers on the kang.
Ikuko has already set the dishes and chopsticks.
Yanzi also walked into the house with a schoolbag on her back. She put down her schoolbag and sat down next to Zhou Zhiqiang, her eyes fixed on the pig's paws.
Aunt Zhou and Liu Dongmei brought food from the kitchen, and the family sat around to eat.
"Brother, it's time to eat." Liu Dongmei shouted at the inner room, but there was no response.
The whole family suddenly became nervous, Liu Dongmei opened the door of the inner room, and there was no trace of Tie Min.
She wondered, "Where is my brother?" ”
"This bastard." Zhou Zhiqiang "soared" to the ground, he put on his shoes and went to the ground, and rushed out.
"Shengzi, go with your father to see what's going on." Aunt Zhou found that Liu Dongmei's expression was very ugly, and hurriedly interrupted with her son: "What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly!" ”
Zhou Zhiqiang rushed out of the house, trotted all the way to the backyard, turned around and saw Shengzi coming over, and ordered: "Go and bring me a dough pin." ”
Seeing that things were not good, the son stood there and didn't know what to do.
Zhou Zhiqiang opened the courtyard door, walked into the courtyard, and heard the sound of moving things from the small room.
He opened the door and saw that Tetsumin had already moved some of the wood aside, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Zhiqiang was really angry, he raised his foot and kicked it.
Tie Min turned around and saw his father, and Zhou Zhiqiang's foot also kicked over. He didn't dodge, but met his father's feet, grabbed his father's arm and said, "Be careful, don't fall." ”
Zhou Zhiqiang's feet changed direction because of Tiemin's words. He kicked in the air, but fortunately he was pulled by Tiemin early and did not fall. scolded in a low voice: "Damn, the family is waiting for you to eat, what do you want to look like." ”
Shengzi opened the door of the house, beckoned to Aunt Zhou, and said, "Mom, come out for a while." ”
"What's the matter, let's just say it." Aunt Zhou said this, but still walked out of the house with her son.
Shengzi explained the situation to his mother in a low voice, and Aunt Zhou was unhappy. "This big deflated calf, your father hasn't recovered yet, and he's a moth."
Aunt Zhou said, and ran to the backyard. She was not afraid that Tiemin would be beaten, but that Zhou Zhiqiang would get sick.
She ran all the way to the outside of the small room, and saw Zhou Zhiqiang standing there bowing his head and saying nothing, and Tie Min standing aside, lying in Zhou Zhiqiang's ear and saying something.
"You big deflated calf, you are determined to make your father angry to death." Aunt Zhou's voice startled Zhou Zhiqiang, and he reprimanded Aunt Zhou in a low voice and said, "Why are you calling a ball!" ”
No one needed to say anything, Liu Dongmei knew that Tiemin was avoiding her.
Yanzi sat on the kang and looked at the food on the kang table in a daze. Shengzi walked into the house, turned around, glanced at Liu Dongmei, and went out again.
Liu Dongmei lowered her head and thought about it, feeling that her face was hot, she took off her apron and walked out of Zhou's house.
Zhou Zhiqiang found that he had done a foolish thing, and he stood there not knowing what to do.
He made a series of arrangements in front of Liu Dongmei all afternoon, and Liu Dongmei did not object, which means that she has approved all this.
Zhou Zhiqiang told Shengzi: "Tonight, you will sleep on the kang cabinet." ”
Although Shengzi was disgusted, he did not dare to oppose it on the surface.
Yanzi originally slept in the outer room with her parents, and Zhou Zhiqiang arranged for her son to sleep in the outer room, which meant that Tie Min and Liu Dongmei would sleep in the inner room.
Liu Dongmei listened to Zhou Zhiqiang's words and smiled very embarrassed. She choked for a few moments, but didn't say a word.
Zhou Zhiqiang also said with an indifferent face: "The relatives have done it, don't care about those details." ”
Liu Dongmei knew Zhou Zhiqiang's good intentions, and went to the kitchen to cook dinner with a smile.
When Tiemin heard his father's arrangement, he did not raise any objections on the surface, but he refused with practical actions.
Facing his father's dissatisfaction, he reminded his father in a low voice: "A big girl with yellow flowers, she lives with me without a name or share, is this appropriate?" ”
"People didn't say anything, what are you paying attention to." Although Zhou Zhiqiang said this, his heart was still touched by Tiemin's words.
Don't look at Liu Shoucheng's usual ghost-headed toad eyes, in the final analysis, he can be regarded as a serious person.
Liu Dongmei is honest, and she is also a responsible child, Zhou Zhiqiang found that he was indeed a little too hasty.
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Zhiqiang knew that Tie Min was still worried about Wang Li in his heart, so he insisted on giving Tie Min a clear instruction in form: You will not marry Liu Dongmei in your life.
"I ......" Tie Min wanted to tell his father that Wang Li was pregnant.
When the words came to his lips, he still didn't have the courage to say them. It's not that I'm afraid that my father will punch and kick him, but Liu Dongmei has just moved into the house, and his words can only make things more complicated.
The father and son are thinking about their hearts and minds in the small room, all in an unspeakable way. Aunt Zhou's shouting focused the contradiction on how to explain to Liu Dongmei.
Zhou Zhiqiang's words have been exported, if it is difficult to recover the water, what Tie Min said is not unreasonable. The most annoying thing is Aunt Zhou, her voice, Liu Dongmei heard it, how to deal with it.
Shengzi hurriedly ran in and said, "Liu Dongmei is gone." ”
Without waiting for Zhou Zhiqiang to say anything, Tie Min rushed out with a shuttlecock and ran aimlessly.
After all, Liu Dongmei is a girl's family, and it will be dark when she speaks, and if something happens when she runs out, the old Zhou family will be responsible.
Tiemin almost ran around the railway residential area of the town, and he didn't see Liu Dongmei.
He stopped and began to ponder Liu Dongmei's possible origin. In the end, I decided to go home to the bicycle and go to Liu Dongmei's house to have a look.
When Tiemin returned home, he saw Zhou Zhiqiang lying on the kang with a towel on his forehead, and he was surprised: "Dad, what's wrong with you." ”
"You big deflated calf, you want to be angry with your father, right?" Aunt Zhou picked up the broom pimple, hit Tie Min and said, "Your father has fallen, send him back to the hospital." ”
"Did you find it?" Zhou Zhiqiang frowned and asked Tie Min.
"I searched around and couldn't find it." Before Tie Min's words fell, Zhou Zhiqiang sat up suddenly, threw off the towel and said: "People sent me back, in case there is a three-long and two-short, how can I explain to her father." ”
"I'll go to her house right away." Tiemin took the keys to his bike, turned and left.
"You know her family." Zhou Zhiqiang asked.
"I don't know." Tiemin replied truthfully.
"Then why are you going!" Zhou Zhiqiang's anger finally found a vent point, he glared at Tiemin and scolded: "Damn, you won't go to the police station to inquire." ”
"Got it." Tiemin ran out of the house and unlocked his bike, his mind at a loss.
The experience of entering the police station twice made him feel a psychological fear of the railway police station, and he really didn't want to step into the police station half a step again.
Zhong Zhiqiang's anger caused him huge psychological pressure, and he was worried that his father would be angry again for this matter.
In his thoughts, Tie Min stepped on the pedal, and the weight of his entire body was concentrated on this foot. I don't know why, he hesitated, and wanted to pedal again, just like the parasol he gave Wang Li that time, his feet were empty, and his whole body fell down at once.
Hearing a "gaba", Tiemin's body fell heavily to the ground, and the surface of his foot and ankle bone formed a ninety degree, followed by a heart-piercing pain.
Tie Min lay on the ground, waited for more than ten seconds, he slowly got up, and found that his left foot did not dare to land, he held his left foot, broke it hard, and there was a "click" sound.
On the outside, his feet had returned to normal, and he was about to stand up, but because of the heart-piercing pain in his left foot, his body was unbalanced, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Coincidentally, at this time, Erguo walked out of the house, and saw Tiemin falling heavily on the ground, he was startled, and hurriedly helped Tiemin up, seeing that Tiemin's forehead was full of beads of sweat, he was puzzled: "What's wrong." ”
"My foot stumbled." Tiemin said this, and his left foot didn't dare to hit the ground.
Zhou Zhiqiang waited anxiously for Tie Min to come back, and saw that Tie Min was brought back by Erguo, and then looked at Tie Min's ankles, which were already swollen as thick as his thighs.
"This useless thing." Zhou Zhiqiang got up, and together with Erguo, sent Tiemin to the railway health center, the doctor on duty, and handled the transfer procedures for Tiemin, Erguo rode Tiemin's bicycle and sent Tiemin to Gangcheng for treatment.
Zhou Zhiqiang was so anxious that he didn't know Liu Dongmei's whereabouts.
He got on his bicycle, went to the railway police station, found out the address of Liu Shoucheng's home, got on his bicycle, and went to a place called Pobaozi, which was actually less than ten kilometers away from the town.
He found Liu Shoucheng's family all the way.
Liu Shoucheng was sitting cross-legged on the kang, sighing incessantly, and Liu Dongmei was sitting on the side, already crying.
Liu Dongmei accompanied Zhou Zhiqiang home, she entered the door of Zhou's house, and the whole person was not idle.
Zhou Zhiqiang's advice to her, she listened to it with a red face, but she still agreed without thinking.
Women, sooner or later, there will be this day.
Liu Dongmei thought that Zhou Zhiqiang could take the initiative to talk to her about this matter, and he must have done the ideological work of Tiemin.
Liu Dongmei had learned Tiemin's shyness, and he inadvertently touched Liu Dongmei's chest in the hospital, and he didn't dare to breathe in a nervous atmosphere. wants him to take the initiative to get close to Liu Dongmei and live together, he doesn't have the courage anymore.
Zhou Zhiqiang's words and deeds, although he has his own stubbornness, at least have been approved by the iron people.
Liu Dongmei thought that she was going to become a husband and wife with Tiemin tonight, she was both excited and nervous, and even had a hint of unbearability.
She grew up in the countryside, and the traditional education she received was not only the inferiority of men and women, but also the husband's singing and women's following.
Getting on the pole is not a business, but also a kind of stubbornness that has always been talked about in her life circle.
Although I want to marry you, I can't just give you everything casually. Even if you give it, you have to have an explanation first.
Although she couldn't think of what to say for a while, she still wanted to be hypocritical with Tiemin.
During the time of cooking, Liu Dongmei repeatedly weighed what to say, and finally reluctantly formed an idea.
She can live with Iron Min, but she must not let Iron Min take over her.
She knew that if she became the wife of Tiemin, she would have to go through this hurdle sooner or later. She also reminded herself that Tie Min did not agree to go through the marriage registration procedures with her, and she would definitely not be able to meet Tie Min's physiological needs.
Liu Dongmei made up her mind and began to fantasize about how she would respond when Tiemin wanted to forcibly take possession of her.
Just when she was not fully sure that she could refuse Tetsumin's excessive request, Tetsumin suddenly disappeared.
Liu Dongmei's extremely excited and panicked heart was hit head-on.
Her self-esteem was greatly stimulated, and then she was ashamed and resentful, prompting her to leave the Zhou family quickly.
She ran almost all the way back to her home. She scolded herself in her heart for being too cheap while running, why did she go on the pole like this to please others, but she ended up in this situation, she was really ashamed.
She ran and cried, walked into the courtyard door, and cried all the way to push open the door.
When Liu Shoucheng heard Liu Dongmei's crying, his blood pressure suddenly increased, and he got up and was about to go to Zhou's house to ask for an explanation.
Okay, you Zhou Zhiqiang, aren't you bent on harming my daughter?
That's right, I took the initiative to show favor to you, and the purpose is obvious, but if you can't be Zhou Tiemin's master, don't take my daughter home.
Since you have brought your daughter back, you must give me an explanation, otherwise, I will give up my life and have to seek justice from you.
Liu Shoucheng was thinking of a countermeasure to defeat the enemy, and Zhou Zhiqiang pushed the door open.
Seeing Liu Dongmei sitting there with all his beards and tails, his hanging heart fell, and he sighed and said, "Dongmei, you scared me to death." ”
"Old Zhou, I need an explanation from you." Liu Shoucheng raised his eyebrows, jumped up all of a sudden, and opened a posture of desperately trying with Zhou Zhiqiang.
