Chapter 14 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

The weather is too hot, and Xiao Hong at this moment is like a frosted eggplant.

She really had no appetite, and her face was sad: "I don't want to eat!" ”

Well, her tone and demeanor make Zhao Youqiang very familiar, anyway, Xiao Hong came to them with this expression.

Seriously, if he hadn't been so rare for his daughter-in-law and was reluctant to let his daughter-in-law suffer splint anger, he would really be too lazy to take care of this squeamish cheap daughter.

Xiao Fang saw that his stepfather looked at his mother a little at a loss, so he quietly pulled the hem of Xiao Hong's clothes.

Xiao Hong also came back to her senses now, cheered up and smiled at Zhao Youqiang: "Uncle, I'm a little dizzy in the car, I really don't like to eat, why don't you buy me a mung bean popsicle?" ”

She understands very well in her heart that he is good to herself, and he loves Wu and Wu.

In the future, I will spend a long time with him, and it would be great if everyone could coexist peacefully.

Zhao Youqiang rarely saw Xiao Hong's smiling face, and he was a little flattered, and responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll buy it." ”

looked at his daughter-in-law and Xiao Fang again: "Do you also eat mung bean popsicles?" Anything else? ”

Wu Julan also shook her head: "Just buy four popsicles, we still have boiled eggs and steamed buns in our basket?" ”

Zhao Youqiang asked them to stay in the shade of the tree, and by the way, he could watch the ox cart for himself, so he hurriedly went to the store to buy popsicles.

Although the village is a poor and remote country, this is a Houzhai town, and there are general shops, but there are very few rare melons and fruits.

He first went to sell flatbread and roasted bread, and he asked for three flatbreads, ten baked cakes and five for one piece.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, found a counter selling popsicles, and asked for three mung bean popsicles for six cents.

Just this little thing, it cost him three dollars, which is almost enough to catch up with his day's wages.

He can also be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and he is a craftsman.

The baskets, baskets, baskets, baskets, sieves, and large mats they made for drying rice were sturdy and durable, and they were all well-known in the neighboring villages, and they were paid four yuan a day for a meal.

It's a pity that this work is not something that can be done every day.

Usually he will find a short-term job, as well as take care of the family's fields, and he can get by.

And Wu Julan has to take care of the two pigs raised at home, as well as more than a dozen chickens and ducks, and usually have to go to the field to pull weeds and take care of housework.

In this way, in addition to spending, the couple can save about 200 yuan every year, which is not bad in the village.

If it weren't for the squeamishness of the two daughters in the family, maybe they would have saved more money.

And Zhao Youqiang is generous to his wife and daughter, but he is not so willing to himself.

After he bought the things back, he let them sit on the ox cart and eat slowly, and he drove the ox cart to the police station first, and put Xiao Hong's household registration on Zhao Youqiang's household registration book smoothly.

Things went well, and in less than an hour they were on their way home.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was scorching, and there were no other pedestrians on the road except for their family.

Wu Julan also felt sorry for her man, and after taking a bite of the popsicle, she stuffed it into his mouth: "It's too cold, I feel sick to my stomach when I eat it, don't buy it for me in the future." ”

Zhao Youqiang handed her the flat kettle with a smile while driving the car: "Then you drink some water?" ”

Xiao Fang is used to the good relationship between her mother and stepfather, but she doesn't care.

Xiao Hong had a toothache when she saw it, and inexplicably felt like she had been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.

However, thinking of her mother's upset stomach, she remembered another thing.

According to the time in her dream, her mother may be about to get pregnant.

In the dream, my mother only learned about her marriage after she was forced to marry Zhao Long in a daze, and immediately went to find her.

At that time, she was restrained by the Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the whole person was also beaten and scolded for being timid and cowardly.

Wu Julan wanted to send her daughter to the hospital, but was stopped by the Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the two sides had an argument, and finally Wu Julan also had an uneasy stomach, and she went to the hospital to find out that she had a miscarriage.

To be honest, Xiao Hongda felt that he couldn't be beaten and scolded like he saw in the book, and he would only swallow his anger and make a small statement.

But if it's fake, then how can you know so many things? How do you become mature?

She doesn't feel like she was born again? Doesn't it look like it's in a book?

Or is grandma really spiritual? Remind yourself?

Anyway, no matter what, she will live every day steadily.

In my memory, my mother had an accident in October this year, and it was almost August now.

That means mom will be pregnant next month.

Family planning began in the 80s, but in remote places in the countryside, families without sons all wanted to have a son, so as not to be scolded by others as 'desperate heads'.

However, there are also people who hide out to work in order to have a son.

There are also some villages that are more xenophobic, and will take the initiative to help the villagers hide it, and only when the child is born and will go to school, will they pay the fine and let the child go to the household registration.

Previously, Xiao Hong was able to settle down smoothly, but Wu Julan was old, and she had already been in the ring after giving birth to Zhao Yanyan.

Xiao Hong could only sigh in her heart, this future brother or sister was born, and it should be called Zhao Jianqiang.

If you weren't strong enough, you wouldn't have had an extra life.

After leaving Houzhai Town, it was all rough dirt roads, and they were all uphill, and the ox carts could not go fast.

Fortunately, I can't go fast, otherwise Xiao Hong's ass will suffer.

The trail is winding, the trees on both sides are lush, but even the sun is not so hot.

Both sisters couldn't help but lean against each other and doze off.

Wu Julan took the opportunity to sit next to her man and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hong will follow us in the future, do you think tonight or tomorrow, let's prepare an order, invite the family to eat, and tell my grandma about this by the way?" ”

She separated after she got married, and she didn't spend much time with her mother-in-law.

But because she was married for the second time, she did not give birth to a son for him.

And because she took Xiao Fang to remarry, she let Xiao Fang occupy the quota for having a second child, so her mother-in-law was also a little dissatisfied with her.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have little time to deal with, and there is no major contradiction, even if the mother-in-law is sometimes in a bad mood, she says a few words to her with a gun.

Now that she has brought another daughter to Zhao's house, she thinks of her mother-in-law's face, and she feels a little worried.

She didn't mind being scolded by her mother-in-law, but she was afraid that Xiao Hong's child would be too careful, and she didn't want to stay after hearing it.

Zhao Youqiang hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, I'll go talk to my grandma first." ”

Xiao Hong just closed her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard their words, she was also wondering how she could get along with her cheap grandmother.

As far as she knew, Grandma Zhao was a believer in Buddhism.

She remembered in a trance that in the small village in front of the village, there was a half-blind goddess who could read feng shui, fortune telling, and days, and was also quite famous in ten miles and eight towns.
