Huang Zhixiong returned home very late. At the beginning of the lanterns, everyone in his family had eaten dinner, Huang Zhixiong opened the lid of the pot and found that the rice in the pot was still hot, and the family had obviously just eaten it. But there is no one in the family now, Huang Zhixiong doesn't care if his family is not there, he fills his stomach first. When he had eaten the second bowl, his mother came in from outside. Mother said, "Look at the way you gobble up, it's like you haven't eaten white rice for three years." You said, where did you go today, and you didn't say hello to your family, and everyone in the village didn't know where you were. ”

Huang Zhixiong defended: "Where else can you go, it's not in the electrical appliance shop." ”

The mother said, "Don't be sloppy with me, I went through the electrical appliance shop to buy groceries, and people said that you hadn't even been here all day." ”

The mother said again: "The food is almost cold, don't eat it, Mom will heat it up again for you, if it is not lukewarm, it will be uncomfortable to eat it in your stomach." ”

Huang Zhixiong said: "Don't heat the food, I'm full." ”

When his mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Huang Zhixiong wiped his mouth and walked away, and his mother said to herself: "This kid has learned to lie, I have to take care of it." ”

Huang Zhixiong walked out of the house aimlessly, but he didn't know where to go to play tonight. On the way, I met my classmate Genzhi, so I walked with Genzhi. Genzhi said that he was also bored at night, so let's go to the Xitang lawn at the foot of the mountain to sit and sit.

Huang Zhixiong said: "What can I sit there, if you don't attract snake and scorpion bites, you will be bitten by mosquitoes, so it is better to find someone to play a game." Genzhi said, I don't play ball, what kind of ball is played blindly in this black light, you can find someone else to play. ”

After Genzhi left, Huang Zhixiong also felt bored, so he wandered around the village for a while, seeing that the time was still early, he didn't want to rush home, so he turned out of the village again, the moonlight was well sprinkled on the road ahead, here Mufeng Forest was peaceful, and the village was surprisingly quiet, Huang Zhixiong's mood was also a lot calmer, at this moment, he found a big camphor tree to sit down quietly, not to think about other things, the moonlight through the thick camphor leaves leaked a little light, the crown was depicted more vividly. Huang Zhixiong wanted to sit for a while, but the black and juicy camphor fruit fell from the canopy and hit him in the face, and mosquitoes also wrapped around his whole body and buzzed and bombarded, before he went home to sleep.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing came to Huang Zhixiong again today and asked him about the progress of Zhao Jinping. Zhixiong said that he had gone to look for Jin Ping several times, but Jin Ping happened to be missing, so there was no progress.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing listened, so she taught him a method, although old-fashioned, but very easy to use, Zhixiong listened to it one by one, and said that he would try it in a few days.

When Shui Jing's sister-in-law came out of Huang Zhixiong's place, she turned into her daughter's house, passed by the town, and went into the store to buy some fruit gifts and bring them on. Daughter Zhao Chunmei was very happy with her mother's arrival, so she put her daughter on the rocking chair to cook for her mother. The daughter didn't agree, so she began to cry and protest in the rocking chair. Sister-in-law Shui Jing came over and picked up her niece and couldn't coax her, so she took her into the kitchen and persuaded her daughter to stop cooking, because it was still early and she couldn't eat it.

Zhao Chunmei took her daughter and sat down with her mother to gossip, and naturally the topic turned to Jin Ping and Zhixiong. Chunmei said: "Mom, I think Zhixiong and Jin Ping's relationship is a little unreliable, you think, you have a lot of time to match them, these two people seem to be like no one, no one takes the initiative, if both parties are interesting, don't say anything else, now at least they are dating frequently." ”

Sister-in-law Shui Jing said: "What do you know, Huang Zhixiong's performance is still okay, he at least likes Jin Ping very much in his heart, there is no doubt about it." Didn't Apple refuse us now? That is to say, Jin Ping at least did not have aversion and rejection in his feelings towards Huang Zhixiong, which has the opportunity to develop below, and next, it mainly depends on how the kid surnamed Huang controls it, anyway, your mother has also been to his house just now, and she has given him all the experience and means, if he doesn't use it, it will be in vain for my hard work. ”

Chunmei said: "Mom, you still have a set of levels, I believe this, but you are the most experienced, but not all things can be solved, for example, your past set may have worked in the past, but there is always a time when it fails." ”

Sister-in-law Shui Jing was a little unhappy when she heard her daughter talk to herself like this, but it was difficult to argue for a while, and she saw that her daughter was also working hard with her niece, so she got up and said goodbye on the pretext that she wanted to go somewhere else.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing was very unhappy along the way, this is the first time she has introduced the object to the deviation, she is a person with a very strong personality, since Zhao Jinping is not concerned about her marriage, it is estimated that the possibility of success is very small, maybe Zhao Jinping has already said something to Chunmei, and her daughter is not as neutral as before. Thinking about it like this, Sister-in-law Shui Jing also expressed doubts about the success of these two people.

Then again, Sister-in-law Shui Jing is still relatively transparent about Zhao Jinping's character. It can be said that Sister Zhao Jinping has been staring at her since she was a child, and she feels that the girls in Zhao Xiaoting's family are all the same as the dishes in her bowl, and it is not easy for her to eat how she wants. Although Zhao Xiaoting is also a little assertive, he doesn't care about his daughter. Zhao Xiaoting's wife is indeed a person who lacks ideas, except for kindness, everything else is a shortcoming. But sometimes kindness is still the biggest shortcoming, and sometimes kindness is synonymous with weakness, which is the fatal wound of the two owners of this family. Sister-in-law Shui Jing has never thought about Zhao Xiaoting's daughter, one is because the matter of Zhao Xiaoting's eldest daughter has a great impact on the Zhao family, and the people in the village have a shadow on the girls of such a family, and they always feel that the boss has a bad head, if the younger sister below has a good example, wouldn't it be very troublesome; The most important thing is that when Zhao Xiaoting's eldest daughter got married, the other three younger sisters were still young, so there was no need to worry about flying out for them early. But now in a blink of an eye, these girls of the Zhao family seem to have matured and grown up overnight, which makes Sister-in-law Shui Jing both happy and worried. The Zhao family may be able to handle it accurately, but if the children don't listen to the adults, then everything will change.

Of course, this is just Shui Jing's own thoughts, she can't say her worries, even her own daughter can't say it, if her daughter says something leaky, things will be in vain, Shui Jing's sister is not a vulgar woman after all, her inner world is strong, and the city government is deep enough.

The excellence of Sister-in-law Shui Jing is that she never gives up halfway in what she does. The signboard of Shui Jing's sister-in-law has stood here for more than 20 years and has not fallen, which is a good example.

She planned to go to the county seat again today. Zhao Jinping's matter cannot be abandoned halfway.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing came to Caizhen's clothing store, and after Huang Caizhen knew that Sister-in-law Shui Jing was Zhao Jinping's aunt, she was very enthusiastic to entertain her. This made Shui Jing's sister-in-law very happy. Sister-in-law Shui Jing looked for Zhao Jinping, which made Zhao Jinping feel a sense of pressure in her heart, but since the aunt was here, and the master was also warmly received, there was no need for her to continue to be flustered. Sister-in-law Shui Jing has read countless people, and she is even more flattering to people like Huang Caizhen who are influential to Zhao Jinping, even to the point of 'brazenness'. Sister-in-law Shui Jing exaggerated the quality of the clothing of "Caizhen Clothing Store" in the whole county, and on the other hand, she praised Huang Caizhen for her care and expressed her heartfelt gratitude. In this way, Huang Caizhen immediately had a good impression of Shui Jing's sister-in-law, and began to praise the Zhao family for being a goddaughter. Both parties received psychological comfort and happiness, and naturally they were satisfied. Huang Caizhen sent Zhao Jinping to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and she wanted to cook a few good dishes to entertain the Zhao family's aunt. Zhao Jinping went out, Shui Jing's sister-in-law let go of the conversation with Huang Caizhen with confidence, as soon as the two were happy, there were naturally a lot of words, the two women were people who had seen the world, and they were very accurate in the hearts of others.

Huang Caizhen went to the kitchen to cook by herself, and Shui Jing's sister-in-law also followed up to help, saying that she couldn't usually cook, but it was still okay to help Huang Caizhen. Huang Caizhen can be regarded as opening the conversation box today, and she is happy that Sister-in-law Shui Jing can still get together with her when she cooks by herself.

The last few dishes were made by Shui Jing's sister-in-law. Huang Caizhen usually rarely goes into the kitchen to cook, this Huang Caizhen's cooking level has been exposed in front of Shui Jing's sister-in-law, Shui Jing's sister-in-law saw that Huang Caizhen's cooking level was very average, this is not Huang Caizhen's own explanation, Shui Jing's sister-in-law can see it from her method of holding a knife and cutting a kitchen knife. But Sister-in-law Shui Jing couldn't see through it, and she even deliberately kept her own work on chopping vegetables, and the cutting was very laborious and irregular. He also said that it was mainly caused by the fact that he lived in the countryside and had not seen much of the world, and that rural people did not have good ingredients to cook good food. Huang Caizhen cooked a few dishes, and Sister-in-law Shui Jing took the opportunity to discuss with Huang Caizhen and said to her: "Sister, it's rare that I have the opportunity to learn a few hands from you today, and let me learn to cook the remaining dishes." Although Huang Caizhen is happy today, she doesn't dare to compliment her craft, she was originally a person who wanted to save face, but now since Shui Jing's sister-in-law has put gold on her face like this, she is willing to let Shui Jing's sister-in-law do it, and clearly say that she can't cook.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing is the most pretentious, after all, the craftsmanship is there, melons, fruits and vegetables, onions, garlic, leeks, ginger, salt, vinegar, wine, sugar, mushrooms, celery, bamboo shoots, eggplants, fish, shrimp, eels, turtles, stir-fried, stewed, steamed, and cooked, so the dishes she made are naturally much better than those cooked by Huang Caizhen. The color, fragrance, and taste also came out, but Shui Jing's sister-in-law was still very modest and seriously discussed with Huang Caizhen about the experience of cooking vegetables. Huang Caizhen not only did not feel embarrassed by her craftsmanship, but also patiently watched Shui Jing's sister-in-law cook all the dishes, and sincerely hoped that Shui Jing's sister-in-law would come here more and give her a cooking class.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing's visit to the county seat this time can be said to be worth it. First, from Huang Caizhen's conversation, I got the information that Zhao Jinping did not have any object yet, which is very important; Second, his performance today made Huang Caizhen recognize the existence of Zhao Jinping's aunt. The two of them have a great time together, which is the most valuable. Sister-in-law Shui Jing herself couldn't understand that her performance would be so good today. Yes, Sister-in-law Shui Jing was also excellent enough, but those are all in the countryside, and she has an absolute advantage in dealing with rural women who have not seen much of the world. Today is the first time to deal with other women in the city, she also knows that Huang Caizhen is not an ordinary woman, she has a strong ability to do things, and it is not very embarrassing to deal with such a woman even if she loses, and she is moved by herself to have a little upper hand. Not to mention anything else, at least Huang Caizhen lost very completely in the cooking level, but fortunately, he didn't make a fool of Huang Caizhen's appearance, and he also hid his strength very well, and pasted all the gold dust on Huang Caizhen's face. Not only did this clever trick not offend others, but now it seems that he has made a friend.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing also had a separate conversation with Zhao Jinping that day. From the perspective of Jin Ping's thinking, Shui Jing's sister-in-law came to Zhao Jinping's lukewarm attitude towards Huang Zhixiong. It's not bad, it's not insurance. Therefore, this requires Huang Zhixiong and himself to strike while the iron is hot, otherwise, once Zhao Jinping's attitude is tilted in the direction of coldness, then things will be irreparable. Shui Jing's sister-in-law persuaded Zhao Jinping to cherish her relationship with Huang Zhixiong, Huang Zhixiong not only has a gentle personality, but also has good family conditions. When a person talks about the object, not only must he have a common voice with his or her own object, but also the important factor of the other party's family is also crucial. Zhao Jinping agreed, and Sister-in-law Shui Jing taught her earnestly: "Pingping, you are quite old, and you can't be indifferent to your marriage, such an attitude is very dangerous. A good man is also hard to find, don't let go if you catch it, your aunt won't lie to you, this time I am looking for you just to hope that you have a clear attitude to your aunt, if you don't take out a clear attitude, your aunt will be powerless. ”

"Thank you Auntie for your concern for Jin Ping, Jin Ping would like to thank Auntie in advance, for the matter between me and Zhixiong, I think you will let me think about it and reply to you in a few days?"

"Pingping, it's not easy for your aunt to come to the county, you'd better reply to your aunt as soon as possible, if you still have any concerns now, what conditions you can tell your aunt directly, no matter when and under what circumstances, your aunt will be on your side, and your aunt will not let her niece suffer a little grievance."

"Auntie, I know that Auntie treats me well, so let's do it, I'll tell you my last opinion when I get home the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Jin Ping, Auntie is waiting for you at home the day after tomorrow, you take care of your body in the county seat, Auntie will go back now."

As soon as Shui Jing's sister-in-law returned home, she immediately ran to Huang Zhixiong's house and told Zhixiong's parents about Zhao Jinping's situation. Zhixiong's parents said that we have never seen this girl in person, and Zhixiong himself is very infatuated with this girl, and the advantages of this girl are all told by my son, so far, we have a very good impression of her, so we also expect this girl to become our daughter-in-law. However, this matter still depends on you to speak well in front of this girl, and to promote the happy event as soon as possible.

Sister-in-law Shuijing said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I have always invested twelve points of energy and sincerity in this matter, she is also my niece, I am more confident in her, and now the girl herself has also expressed her attitude with me today, she should not have much of a problem at this level, her parents are also good talkers, my next work is mainly on her parents, Xiao Huang here you must let him be more enthusiastic and positive, you support more financially." Now that the girl has acquiescence, this is also the last chance. ”

Huang Zhixiong's parents said that in this case, we as parents will definitely support it, and the woman's parents still need your efforts.

Huang Zhixiong received financial support from his parents, so he was naturally much more confident than in the past. In addition to his gratitude to Shui Jing's sister-in-law now, he suddenly became courteous in front of her again. Huang Zhixiong pinned all his hopes on Shui Jing's sister-in-law, as if the marriage of the two of them was in the hands of Shui Jing's sister-in-law, and Shui Jing's sister-in-law was the justice and had the right to decide life and death.

Zhao Jinping has already agreed to Shui Jing's sister-in-law's request to be willing to deal with Huang Zhixiong. Sister-in-law Shui Jing was really satisfied with Zhao Jinping's reply, and when she made the final decision in front of Huang Zhixiong's parents yesterday, her heart was still pounding. She was worried that Zhao Jinping rejected her in one go, leaving no room for maneuver for Shui Jing's sister-in-law, so Shui Jing's sister-in-law would not be able to return to the sky even if she had the ability to fly. Fortunately, Zhao Jinping followed Shui Jing's wishes, and at this moment, Shui Jing's sister was full of energy and her confidence doubled. Seeing Zhao Jinping away, Sister-in-law Shui Jing immediately left for the Huang family to tell the Huang family the good news. Huang Zhixiong also smiled happily, and his eyebrows opened, so he had to take his sister-in-law to the mother's restaurant in the town to eat. Zhixiong's parents said, this meal is invited by my son, you can't be cold to his kindness. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said, okay, I'm happy to eat Xiao Huang's meal, and I will eat your family's big wedding meal next time.

Huang Zhixiong asked Shui Jing's sister-in-law how to develop with Zhao Jinping next. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said that if you want to catch Ping Ping herself as soon as possible, you must first capture her heart, only if you catch her heart, she will naturally be attached to you, as for how to operate, then it is your own business, but you remember this point, you must not quarrel with her, more with her sex, when the two disagree in getting along, you must make a compromise in time. Girls all hope that the man will be generous, open-minded, and happy, and don't be hesitant and indecisive in her mother-in-law. Stubbornness and uncompromising rigidity with girls will disappoint girls, and even the greatest amount of affection and effort you have put in before will be in vain.

Huang Zhixiong got the 'magic weapon' from Shui Jing's sister-in-law, and naturally his heart was itchy, and he couldn't wait to see Zhao Jinping immediately, tell Zhao Jinping what he had said without reservation, and tell Jin Ping everything he dreamed of day and night.

Huang Zhixiong went to find Zhao Jinping. At this moment, Huang Caizhen also knew that Zhao Jinping was starting to fall in love. But Huang Caizhen is not worried about Zhao Jinping's boyfriend's personality. She is dissatisfied with Zhao Jinping for secretly falling in love and not telling herself, but she is just dissatisfied, without the slightest element of hatred, because she loves Zhao Jinping as much as she loves her own children. She talked to Zhao Jinping and asked Zhao Jinping what her first impression of her boyfriend was? Zhao Jinping was ready to hide the master at first, Huang Caizhen said, don't hide it, last time your aunt came over, she told me about the object she introduced to you, the master didn't let his beloved apprentice fall in love, the master just hoped that his apprentice would not be deceived and hurt by the object when he fell in love. If you continue to hide such a big thing from the master, then it means that the master is a person you can't trust, or at least someone who can't be trusted.

"That's not the case, master, I did start falling in love, I hid this from my master, that's because I haven't been sure, my heart has been hesitating, I'm afraid of making things very bad and being blamed by the master."

Huang Caizhen saw the beads of sweat on Zhao Jinping's forehead, and said distressedly: "Pingping, you are a good boy, the master feels sorry for you the most, I don't want you to be hurt by others in the slightest, therefore, I care about your attitude towards the master, and the master also cares about your performance." You have a big thing to hide as much as possible so that the master doesn't know this, I think about it carefully, it's not your fault, it means that the master is not good enough, and the care for the apprentice is still very insufficient. It shows that our master and apprentice have not yet reached the point of knowing everything and saying everything. This time, the master felt that it was very timely, and he said all the words in his heart, and the knots were unraveled, and then, we had no secrets to speak of. ”

Zhao Jinping told her master Huang Caizhen about agreeing to her aunt to establish a relationship with Huang Zhixiong. Huang Caizhen asked her: "Is the person you are talking about the shy little boy who came to our store before?" Zhao Jinping blushed and said, "Yes, it's him, what is the master's impression of him for the first time?" ”

Huang Caizhen smiled and said: "Silly girl, the master only glanced at it in a hurry, you think the master is sharp-eyed, it's hard to say, but the master will carefully check how about it for you in the future, and you can only make an evaluation after the next contact with your object." ”

Zhao Jinping said embarrassedly: "Master, you must seriously handle this level for the apprentice next time, only if the master passes, Ping'er can continue to develop with him, I will listen to you." ”

Huang Caizhen seriously criticized Zhao Jinping and said: "Pingping, why have you become so godless now, someone told me before that the IQ of a girl who is in love is zero, I don't believe it yet, but now I believe it a little." ”

Zhao Jinping became anxious: "Master, just now you blamed the apprentice for concealing it from the master, and now the apprentice is wrong to listen to the master, what the apprentice wants to do is right." ”

"Don't worry, Ping'er, the master is not an old feudal old thought, besides, the master is not your biological mother after all, the master can't arbitrarily judge the marriage of the apprentice, the master's words are just a reference, you can't think that the master is right in everything, you have to have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong."

Huang Zhixiong no longer has the heart to learn electrical repair technology. His master saw that this apprentice was always absent-minded no matter how close he was, so he simply put him on a long vacation, which was exactly what Huang Zhixiong wanted. Huang Zhixiong readily agreed, and moved his daily necessities from the electrical appliance store back home without telling his parents, his parents asked, only saying that the master's store rent was due, the landlord was going to raise the rent, and the master was going to move to another place, and now the matter has not been decided.

Without the obstacle of the electrical appliance store, Huang Zhixiong has more energy to spend on getting along with Zhao Jinping and falling in love. Huang Zhixiong is indeed a clever young man, he has great respect for Zhao Jinping's master Huang Caizhen, in this way, Huang Caizhen not only did not interfere with him, but also praised Huang Zhixiong's intelligence and cleverness in the ears of the apprentice, saying that Zhao Jinping has good eyesight, and the master has no other opinions, and the master's support for Jin Ping's love made the love process between Huang Zhixiong and Zhao Jinping smooth.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing's key work has begun to shift, and she must get through the link of Zhao Jinping's parents. For Zhao Jinping's mother, Sister-in-law Shui Jing will not spend much effort lobbying. The Zhao family has two passes to pass: the first pass is naturally Zhao Xiaoting, who is Zhao Jinping's father and the pillar of the Zhao family. The affairs of the Zhao family are arranged and finally decided by Zhao Xiaoting, but Zhao Xiaoting also has an eldest son-in-law, Xu Ruirong. Although Xu Ruirong rarely intervenes in the affairs of the Zhao family, Sister-in-law Shui Jing can't completely leave him alone. She knows Xu Ruirong very well, in fact, Xu Ruirong still has a certain right to speak in the Zhao family, usually don't look at Xu Ruirong is indifferent to the affairs of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaoting has the final say outside. In fact, Xu Ruirong finalized his opinions and suggestions at home and then asked Zhao Xiaoting to announce the implementation. Outsiders rarely know about this link, so many people need the Zhao family to nod and sign things that fail without finding the right target, or delay the timing.

Zhao Jinfang has not only not gone out to fool around for many years now, but also because of Zhao Jinfang's past misconduct, the bane of falling is now closely following Zhao Jinfang's body, which makes Zhao Jinfang extremely painful. Xu Ruirong is indifferent to his wife's illness, except for his mother Zhang Fengxian who takes care of Zhao Jinfang alone, from top to bottom, no one pays attention to Zhao Jinfang, perhaps Zhao Jinfang planted too many bitter fruit seeds in the past, so that the fruits harvested today can only be borne by herself.

Xu Ruirong's inner pain is not only because of his wife's betrayal of him, but now there is no other way but to live in the Zhao family and make him feel aggrieved. Although Xu Ruirong is from the same village as his parents, he has a lot of brothers and sisters. But the Xu family is also a family, the family background is thin, the relationship is shallow, plus there are many brothers and sisters, the house is crowded, not to mention, except for his brother who married a wife, the other two younger brothers have not married a wife in their thirties, and the days of celibacy have gradually made the two younger brothers gradually disheartened. Therefore, since Xu Ruirong joined the Zhao family, his father allocated several houses in the family to his elder brother and two younger brothers.

Xu Ruirong didn't want to be criticized too much by others, but since his wife cheated, his prestige has disappeared, and Xu Ruirong himself has to hold his tail and be a man. He rarely participates in group activities, is indifferent to public welfare, and hides all his hobbies except for working diligently on the land contracted by the Zhao family from the collective. Zhao Jinfang's frivolity when he was young made him hurt to the point that his skin was incomplete, even down to the bone marrow, so in his heart he hoped that Zhao Jinfang would die soon, and now the disease made Zhao Jinfang look completely discolored, skinny and dying. Xu Ruirong's indifference did not arouse the disgust of the Zhao family, on the contrary, the Zhao family showed sympathy and rare respect for Xu Ruirong. Zhao Xiaoting was not an obscure and lonely person in the past, he was at least a small cadre with weight in his words and status in the village. The loss of these status symbols is due to the eldest daughter Zhao Jinfang, it is impossible for Zhao Xiaoting not to hate Zhao Jinfang, but there is such an unlucky thing in the Zhao family, but Zhao Xiaoting caught up, which is very helpless and painful, but it is not enough to ask Zhao Xiaoting to execute Zhao Jinfang like the old society in the past. Zhao Xiaoting was a village cadre because of his personal charm and prestige in the past, and in the same way, he is not a cadre now because of his prestige and charm, but it just so happens that these two things are from the influence of his eldest daughter.

Zhao Jinfang couldn't pour rice into his stomach for the second day. Zhang Fengxian was anxious about this, she begged Zhao Xiaoting, Zhao Xiaoting said coldly: "This is her life, what can I do, if I were a doctor, it's a pity that I'm not, let it be fate." Zhang Fengxian stopped Xu Ruirong again and asked him what to do, saying that if this continues, Jin Fang may not survive for three or four days. Xu Ruirong didn't show a panicked look, and said to his mother-in-law very calmly: "Our family still has money, I'll send her to treatment, if there is no money, forget it, anyway, it's like this, I don't have any opinion on whether to treat it or not." ”

Zhang Fengxian's opinion is very clear: "Ruirong, only one sentence in a thousand words, after all, she is still your wife, although it is only nominal, but as long as she lives for one day, you are obliged to be responsible for her, I will borrow the money, please send her to the hospital, after you send her to the hospital, I will take care of her life." ”

Xu Ruirong said: "That's fine, I'll send the person, and I don't care about it after it is delivered." ”

"As long as you send Jin Fang to the hospital, it doesn't matter if you don't care about the rest."

So Xu Ruirong pulled Zhao Jinfang to the town's health center with a trolley, and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Jinping doesn't have much affection for her sister Zhao Jinfang. But after all, he was still a sibling, and when he heard that his sister was seriously ill, he rushed home from the clothing store, and when he heard that his brother-in-law had dragged people into the hospital, he persuaded his father to visit him in the hospital as well. Zhao Xiaoting refused to go, so Zhao Jinping had to rush to the health center by herself. After Zhao Jinping left, Zhao Xiaoting cried behind closed doors, and no one understood what he was crying about.

Xu Ruirong pulled the empty cart and met Zhao Jinping on the way home, and Zhao Jinping asked her brother-in-law how her condition was. Xu Ruirong said coldly: "It's okay if you come, go and meet her, maybe it's just a matter of the past few days, and now your mother is guarding in the hospital." ”

Zhao Jinping didn't say anything about Xu Ruirong in his mouth, but he scolded Xu Ruirong in his heart for being a big bastard and a big villain, and his wife was sick like this, unless he was a hard-hearted person, otherwise, even if his wife killed your family, it would be a big deal to be so indifferent and ruthless. Therefore, he thought of himself again, and felt that if the man he found was also like Xu Ruirong, then she would be willing not to marry for the rest of her life and would not want to have such a marriage.

Xu Ruirong pulled the cart back and went to do his farm work. Zhao Xiaoting can't do farm work now, so her son-in-law can only take on this job alone. The Zhao family seemed very lonely at the moment, and Zhao Xiaoting was sad from the heart, and felt that there was no point in living to the extent of being a man, so he decided to marry himself.

Zhao Xiaoting tied the front and back doors of his room from the inside, so he found the pesticide bottle, he sat on the bed, put the pesticide bottle on the bedside table, wiped his tears, and shook his head and sighed.

Besides, Sister-in-law Shui Jing has been paying attention to Zhao Xiaoting's house for many days, and now she sees that Zhao Xiaoting's behavior is a little abnormal, so she raises her vigilance, she hides in a corner not far from Zhao's house, and finds that Zhao Xiaoting has closed the front and back doors, and knows that Zhao Xiaoting may be going to do something stupid. It happened that Xu Ruirong Hospital came back and went out not long ago, and it was estimated that he would not be able to go far, so Shui Jing's sister-in-law was not at ease, so she hurriedly went to the village entrance to call Xu Ruirong home to have a look. Xu Ruirong threw away the farm tools and ran home like flying, Shui Jing's sister-in-law couldn't run away from him, so he had to stay behind, and several villagers who went out to work at the entrance of the village were called back by her at the same time.

Xu Ruirong saw that Zhao Xiaoting was chained to death inside and outside the house, and knew that Zhao Xiaoting was going to have an accident, so he opened the crack in the door and saw the pesticide bottle placed in the bedside table, so he shouted to his father-in-law to open the door. Zhao Xiaoting pretended not to hear it, and continued to fall on the bed. Xu Ruirong smashed the door with a hoe at the door, and the door was difficult to smash open for a while, at this time, Shui Jing's sister-in-law and the villagers rushed over, and everyone hurriedly smashed the door while shouting. Sister-in-law Shui Jing is quite calm, it seems that slamming the door is going to make a mistake, so she will consider other ways. Shui Jing's sister-in-law saw that the window lattice was made of wood, so she quickly asked these people to stop smashing the door and smash the window instead, the window smashed a big hole in three times and two times, and several people stuffed a small villager into the window, opened the door latch, and let everyone in, Zhao Xiaoting seemed to have drunk the pesticide into his stomach, Xu Ruirong quickly pinched Zhao Xiaoting's throat with one hand, and picked his mouth with one hand, and Shui Jing's sister-in-law instructed everyone to quickly find a deputy stretcher and send him to the hospital immediately.

Zhao Jinping's buttocks in the health center were not yet hot, and his father was rushed over by the villagers to wash his stomach for rescue. She was very flustered and had no idea at all, and her mother also seemed to be dispossessed, wanting to cry without tears. Xu Ruirong later rushed to the health center one step later. Zhao Jinping thought that her brother-in-law didn't care about such a big thing at home, so she hated him in her heart. Sister-in-law Shui Jing was so busy prescribing medicine for Zhao Xiaoting that she didn't bother to greet Zhao Jinping at all. Zhang Fengxian only cried vigorously, and the other villagers didn't know what the condition was for a while and didn't dare to go home immediately, so they gathered in a corner of the health center and smoked and talked softly.

When Zhao Jinping saw her brother-in-law who was rushing to the health center in a panic, she was angry, pointed at Xu Ruirong's nose and scolded: "What are you doing here?" The Zhao family is not dead yet. ”

Xu Ruirong ignored Zhao Jinping, only to see him go to the wards to find Zhao Xiaoting. Zhao Jinping seemed to have lost her mind and followed her brother-in-law to abuse.

Sister-in-law Shui Jing came out of the ward and let Xu Ruirong inside.

Here Zhao Jinping then followed up and gasped and said: "Auntie, you have also seen it, this is the situation in my family, it is just a matter of one person dying, now it seems that it is difficult to say how many people have died, you are so enthusiastic, but you look at the shameless one, they all rushed over at this time, I also understand, outsiders are always outsiders, the heart is black, anyway, it is not the turn of the people in his family to die." ”

Shui Jing's sister-in-law raised her hand and slapped Zhao Jinping in the face, dragged her to Zhao Xiaoting's bed, pointed at her father and said angrily: "Jin Ping, you can see clearly that the person lying here is your father, if there is no Ruirong today, maybe your father is not lying on this bed, but went to lie on the stone bench in another room, you accuse and abuse and also distinguish the place of the occasion and the time, it is not your aunt who says you, it is rare for people like you to talk nonsense like you now, Now you have to serve your father and sister well, how can you have the right to blame others. ”

Zhao Jinping was slapped by Shui Jing's sister-in-law and burst into tears, and she was aggrieved, and now she is a little embarrassed when she hears her aunt say this. Standing in front of my aunt for a while, I wanted to walk but couldn't take a step. She was very remorseful, remorseful for her reckless impulsiveness just now.

Zhao Xiaoting's body is not in serious trouble, he was discharged after four days of observation in the hospital, and now he is going home to recuperate, Xu Ruirong packed all the pesticide bottles and cans, knives and sharp tools one by one and hid them in his room for him to keep alone, and he locked the door when he went out. Zhao Jinfang's condition is getting worse day by day, seeing her body dry up day by day, Zhao Jinfang finally went out after 16 days in the hospital, and finished her life of humiliation and sadness. Except for Zhang Fengxian, the Zhao family cried to death a few times in the past, and everyone else insisted on not shedding a single tear to feel sorry for Zhao Jinfang. Zhao Jinfang's funeral was also simple, and the mourning hall was only set up for one day before the funeral was held.

Zhao Jinping is depressed about the changes in her family. But he was grateful to Shui Jing's sister-in-law, and he also expressed guilt for his brother-in-law. It's just that Zhao Jinping is unwilling to admit her mistakes and apologize in front of her brother-in-law, she tries to avoid contact with her brother-in-law, so that she doesn't need to be depressed in her heart. Sister-in-law Shui Jing has shown meticulous care for the Zhao family at this stage, which makes the people of the Zhao family grateful to Sister-in-law Shuijing. Except for Zhao Jinping who knew that Sister-in-law Shui Jing had another purpose, everyone else thought that Sister-in-law Shui Jing was simply sharing the pain and difficulties for the Zhao family. Such selfless help and spiritual comfort to the Zhao family is undoubtedly great. As a peasant woman, it is commendable to have such a heart. Sister-in-law Shui Jing is like the sunshine shining on the heads of the Zhao family, warming the hearts of the Zhao family.

Huang Zhixiong was very troubled during this time, one was that he was restless because he didn't want to go to the electrical appliance store to learn repair technology, and stayed at home all day with nothing to do; In addition, Zhao Jinping's family has experienced too many ups and downs since this stage, which has caused Zhao Jinping's psychological gap to be very large, thus interrupting the tryst with Huang Zhixiong, making Huang Zhixiong panic. Huang Zhixiong's wishful thinking was a little empty, and he had to seek his parents to keep in touch with Shui Jing's sister-in-law at all times, but fortunately, Shui Jing's sister-in-law has been in contact with Zhao Jinping in recent times, knowing that Zhao Jinping did not have any accidents in this matter. Sister-in-law Shui Jing comforted the Huang family not to worry, such a change happened to the Zhao family, we can't force the Zhao family too tight and too anxious, the psychological trauma of the Zhao family needs time to heal slowly, and only after the Zhao family's mood has calmed down can we talk about the following things.

Xu Ruirong has not been interested in agricultural production at this stage. In the past few years, several of his close friends have sent messages from outside the world that the income of working outside for one year is more than the income of three or four years of farming at home, so he also hopes that his friends will take him out to do some work. Li Chuncheng has come to Zhaozhuang every year during the Spring Festival or holidays in recent years, and he has no immediate family in Zhaozhuang, so Xu Ruirong entertains him every time he comes. Li Chuncheng will also bring some gifts and fruits every time.

Xu Ruirong is ready to go out to work. He told his father-in-law Zhao Xiaoting about it. Zhao Xiaoting was noncommittal, and he didn't say yes or no, so Xu Ruirong told his mother-in-law about his decision to go out to work. Zhang Fengxian said, you can discuss this matter with your father-in-law, I don't care about family affairs. Xu Ruirong then walked into his father-in-law's room. Zhao Xiaoting saw Xu Ruirong come in, and said: "Ruirong, I was also thinking just now, you want to go out to work, what about our family's fields, you know my age, this old bone is not polished, but after thinking about it carefully, I still think that your idea is not unreasonable." People have to think about change, can't stick to it, don't say more, I agree with you to go out. But you have to arrange the family affairs before leaving, I will definitely not be able to manage the field alone, you want to find a way to settle it first, and you also need to confirm the place in advance when you go out to work, and you have to tell me what work to do. ”

Xu Ruirong said: "Dad, I will prepare these things in advance, I have already told my brother a few days ago about the field, we only leave the nearest piece of the village, you and my mother can grow some vegetables enough for the family to eat, and the other fields are contracted to him to cultivate, he gives you 250 catties of grain per mu every year to ensure that you have food; I am going to go to the provincial capital to work, and now the construction project in the provincial capital requires a lot of manpower, and the salary is very high. ”

Zhao Xiaoting said, since this is the case, it is naturally good, if you go to the provincial capital and you will come back, then when are you going to leave?

Xu Ruirong said that he wanted to leave as soon as he implemented the affairs of his family in the next few days, and left early to make money.

Zhao Xiaoting pondered for a while and said to Xu Ruirong: "Ruirong, there is one more thing I need to tell you, that is, the matter of your little sister Jin Ping, I don't know if Sister-in-law Shui Jing has mentioned it to you, she wants to match your little sister's marriage, I want to hear your opinion?" ”

Xu Ruirong said: "I don't have the right to say about Jin Ping's matter, mainly depends on her own opinions, as well as the attitude of your husband and wife, as long as the three of you have no opinions, I have nothing to say." ”

Zhao Xiaoting said: "Jin Ping also seems to like that kid, I also heard that she has had a secret tryst with that kid many times, listen to Shui Jing's sister-in-law, this kid's family conditions are not bad, the people in our town, my mother opened a restaurant in the town, and my father killed pigs and sold meat in the vegetable market, if you have no opinion, we will let Shui Jing's sister-in-law go to say hello and find a good day to set the wedding in advance." ”

Xu Ruirong said: "That's fine, after all, Sister-in-law Shui Jing is also our cousin, if she takes all her nieces to deceive, I don't think it's very likely." ”

Zhao Xiaoting listened, and then said: "This is a fact, Sister-in-law Shui Jing is a trustworthy person, if even she wants to lie to us, it will be a helpless thing." ”

Zhao Xiaoting paused for a while and said: "Since Sister-in-law Shui Jing said that the kid's family is solid, Ruirong, can we increase the bride price a little bit, I can't discuss this matter with outsiders, I want to see your opinion?" ”

Xu Ruirong said: "This is not a trivial matter, you have to let me think about it first, after all, even if we have this idea, we need to understand it clearly before we can talk to Shui Jing, it's really not good, let Shui Jing give us an idea first." ”

"However, I'm afraid that Sister-in-law Shui Jing will suppress the bride price after accepting the other party's benefit fee."

"It's also possible, but even if she leans towards the other party a little, she won't completely fall for the other party."

"You can't agree to this matter all at once, you can put forward your conditions with Sister-in-law Shuijing first, and if they agree, they will implement it according to your requirements, that is, I will go out now, just so you can find some 'excuses' to put some pressure on the other party."

"I think the same way, since it is best that the two of us can agree on the same opinion, even if you are not at home in the future, I will have a bottom in my heart."

Xu Ruirong left three days later. Sister-in-law Shui Jing came to Zhao's house again today, and after chatting with Zhao Xiaoting's brother and sister-in-law for a while, she went straight to the point: "Brother Xiaoting, have you discussed the matter of Jin Ping, and the other party has been waiting for my reply?" ”

"This matter, we as parents depend on Jin Ping's own opinion, now the times are different, parents can't do it, as long as she likes it, we have nothing to say."

"Brother, since you are so happy, I will also reveal a little bit of information to you, Jin Ping is discerning, the other party's family conditions are also good, authentic people in the town, the most important point is that this kid is clever and has a high level of education, you have never seen him in person, but I thought of Jin Ping after careful consideration, it can be said that they are the beauty of Tianhe, talented and beautiful, and they are a good match."

Zhang Fengxian took Sister-in-law Shuijing's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, you are a powerful person, our family's big and small things are inseparable from your worries, care and help, we must be full of joy when you look for my daughter's husband, in the future, Jin Ping has married, you have to go to Jin Ping to sit there." ”

Sister-in-law Shui Jing's face bloomed with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the family doesn't speak two words, Jin Ping is blessed to marry a good family is not only your wish, but also my wish, besides, a beautiful woman like Jin Ping, ordinary people are not worthy of her at all." ”

Zhao Xiaoting said: "Brother and sister, we are all Mu Ne people, we can't speak, I still want you to pass on some good words for us." ”

"Brother, don't be modest, who doesn't know you, your eloquence and ability are among the best in our village, and you are much more capable than me."

"Brother and sister, my brother didn't exaggerate you, you went to do things for my brother, and my brother was down-to-earth."

"Brother, sister-in-law, since you all agree, I will go over immediately and let the other party choose a good auspicious day, and this matter will be settled?"

"It's settled, I'll wait for the other party to choose an auspicious day."

The two parties are discussing the date of engagement. Zhao Xiaoting first put forward conditions to the man through Shui Jing's sister-in-law. The conditions include wheat beans, rice and noodles, tobacco, alcohol, melons and fruits, meat and livestock, dishes and pans, bedding and pillow mats, cloth and satin, as well as bronze utensils, tin and tin, electrical appliances, bicycles, sewing machines, televisions, etc. These small and fragmented, seven-seven-eighty-eight things are already dazzling, and the list is long and written down in a long series, and Sister-in-law Shui Jing can't come back to her senses. Sister-in-law Shui Jing said: "Brother Xiaoting, if you put forward these requirements, I will definitely help you convey them, but I can't guarantee that the man will agree to all these conditions." ”

Zhao Xiaoting said: "You first give the things I listed to the man's parents, if they can't even accept this little request, Jin Ping will not be able to marry the Huang family's daughter-in-law." ”
