In the afternoon, the weather was good, out of the sun, and it was warm on the body.

The Zhou family set up a few tables in the family courtyard and brewed a few pots of tea for the guests to play cards and drink tea.

Pei Yang was pulled by Zhou Shuhuan and a few other friends to play cards, Pei Ziheng played in the courtyard with other children in the family home, and Shen Mingzhu sat at the tea table set by the Zhou family to drink tea, eat melon seeds, and listen to people's chatter.

In the entire family home, the Zhou family made the most jokes.

And the most talked-about thing about the Zhou family is Ma Sufen and Shen Baolan, the best mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Ma Sufen now dislikes Shen Baolan's daughter-in-law in her heart, even if Shen Baolan is pregnant with her Zhou family's seed and will give birth in a few months, Ma Sufen is also determined not to want this daughter-in-law, and instigates her son Zhou Shuhuan to leave Shen Baolan every day.

But the Zhou family's father and son's thoughts were the opposite of Ma Sufen's.

Neither father nor son agreed to the divorce.

In their opinion, the daughters-in-law (daughters-in-law) in the world are almost the same, although Shen Baolan is quite unkind after she is pregnant, as long as she gives birth to a child, everything will be easy to remember.

Again, marrying a daughter-in-law (daughter-in-law) is a lot of money.

When she married Shen Baolan, she spent a small 1,000 yuan, and then Shen Baolan got into trouble and threw out more than 1,000 yuan, which really left people, so didn't this money be thrown into the water in vain?

It can be seen that both father and son are selfish people in their bones.

Because in the battle between Shen Baolan and Ma Sufen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the lives of their fathers and daughters were not greatly affected.

No matter how fierce the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are, they still have food, clothes, and sleep.

If you really can't do it, you can hide out, one is to find old friends to drink tea and brag, and the other is to find a brother to drink and play cards, there is always a way and a place to spend time.

But Ma Sufen and Shen Baolan could only stay at home, looking at each other with disgust and fighting.

The father and son of the Zhou family have never understood her suffering from Ma Sufen's point of view, and they have never thought of reconciling the contradictions between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

True to that sentence, the knife did not pierce them, and they never knew how much it hurt.

After Shen Baolan returned to her parents' house, Ma Sufen didn't mention it for a while, as if there was no Shen Baolan at home, and Zhou Quanxiong didn't care about everything like a shopkeeper.

As for Zhou Shuhuan, his daughter-in-law is not at home, she will not quarrel with her mother, and he is happy to be idle.

So much so that Shen Baolan stayed at her mother's house for a whole month, and no one in the Zhou family thought of taking Shen Baolan back.

Or this birthday banquet, afraid of being laughed at by relatives and friends, for the sake of face, Zhou Quanxiong asked his son to go to Shenjiagou to pick up Shen Baolan.

After drinking a stomach full of tea, listening to gossip all afternoon, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Shen Mingzhu took Pei Ziheng home with satisfaction.

At noon, the big fish and meat were a little tired, and Shen Mingzhu planned to eat porridge at night to clear his stomach.

The snow-white rice is boiled until it is soft and blooming, and the shredded radish and porridge are boiled until they become transparent and blended together, and then ginger, green onions, salt, sesame oil, and a little pepper are added.

The sweet and fragrant radish porridge, with a little Uncle Hu powder's spiciness, is eaten in a hot bowl, and I sweat slightly, which is all over the body.

After the porridge was boiled, it was already dark, and Pei Yang didn't go home.

Shen Mingzhu didn't go down to urge, she left half a pot for him, she and Pei Ziheng had a bowl of porridge each, squatting in front of the coffee table and watching TV while eating.

Recently, the TV station is broadcasting "Journey to the West".

Although she is familiar with Journey to the West, she has never watched the old version of Journey to the West, so she turns on the TV every day and chases it with relish.

It's not interesting to chase the drama alone, she still pulls Pei Ziheng to chase after her.

The reason given was also so that Pei Ziheng couldn't refute it, "Journey to the West is so popular, all the classmates have watched it, but you haven't watched it, when everyone discusses the plot, you don't know anything, you can't say a word, it hurts your temperament." ”

After setting up a hard-working, sensible and independent character, Shen Mingzhu set up a new character for Pei Ziheng - Xueba.

Shen Mingzhu firmly believes that as long as her stepson gets closer and changes according to the personality she has set up, sooner or later he will become a good young man with integrity and excellence.

After eating, Journey to the West was also finished, one episode a day, and I finished watching it.

Shen Mingzhu took the bowl to the kitchen to wash, just two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, and the phone in the living room rang before he finished washing.

"Ziheng, answer the phone."

After shouting several times, Pei Ziheng didn't squeak, the phone in the living room kept ringing, and Shen Mingzhu had to answer the phone while wiping his hands.

The call was from Pei Yang, saying that he would go out to party with a few friends in the evening and not come back to eat, so that the mother and son would not wait for him.

Shen Mingzhu replied directly, "I didn't wait for you, we have finished eating, and the dishes have been washed." ”

“……”

Hanging up the phone, Shen Mingzhu turned his head and went to Pei Ziheng's room.

The door to the room was unlocked, but she knocked twice before pushing it open.

"Ziheng, what are you doing? I called you to answer the phone just now, why didn't you ignore me? ”

Although he was asking, Shen Mingzhu's tone was very gentle, even a little joking, to avoid the child's rebellion and resistance.

Pei Ziheng turned his head, and Hei Lingling's eyes looked at her faintly.

"I don't like you to call me Ziheng."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned, then walked into the room, moved a stool and sat next to his stepson, chatting.

"Come, tell me well, why don't you like Ziheng all of a sudden? Did someone tell you something? ”

"Anyway, I just don't like it."

After speaking, Pei Ziheng took the Rubik's Cube on the table and started playing.

Shen Mingzhu thought for a while and said tentatively: "Otherwise, I will call you Hengheng in the future?" ”

"It's ugly."

"Pei Pei?"

"It's harder to hear."

"Baby?"

"Baby?"

After saying several things in a row, Pei Ziheng looked disgusted, and Shen Mingzhu was out of luck, and said in a broken jar, "Then I will tell you to smash it in the future?" ”

Click.

The Rubik's Cube has been restored.

Pei Ziheng put the restored Rubik's Cube back on the desk, and said in a very reluctant tone, "This, it's not so ugly." ”

Shen Mingzhu looked at her stepson's beautiful and white little face, and couldn't help but laugh, but after laughing, her heart was a little sour, and her eyes were slightly hot.

She has carefully raised him for so long, and she finally responds a little.

The emotions of happiness, relief, and joy filled Shen Mingzhu's chest.

She opened her hand, held her stepson in her arms, and gently kissed the top of the other party's soft head.

", you're so cute."

Pei Ziheng let her hold it, and her black eyelashes fluttered slightly.

It turns out that this is the feeling of being hugged by my mother, it is very warm, very fragrant, and very soft, as comfortable as being trapped in a cloud. He had slept with his father for so long, but he had never had such an experience.

No wonder it is said that only mothers are good in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure.

Mom's feeling, really good, good.

——

In a small restaurant not far from the family home, Pei Yang and Zhou Shuhuan and a few other brothers who have played together since childhood, talked about wine and talked freely.

When I was drinking, I don't know who started up, and several brothers talked about Shen Mingzhu word by word.

praised her for her beauty, gentle personality, virtuous and capable, and envied Pei Yang for her blessings, picked up the treasure, and married such a good daughter-in-law as Shen Mingzhu.

Hearing his brother praise his daughter-in-law, Pei Yang was naturally happy in his heart.

But his happiness is only superficial, but his heart is extremely sour.

His daughter-in-law is good, so good that he likes it very much, but such a good daughter-in-law is like the moon in the water, but she can see it, but she can't touch it.

It's been eight months since he got married, and he hasn't even kissed his daughter-in-law's small mouth except for holding his daughter-in-law's little hand and chatting with her on the bed covered with a quilt.

No one believed him when he said it, and he didn't have the face to say it.

was full of sadness, grievances and bitterness, and finally turned into glass after glass of wine, which was swallowed into Pei Yang's stomach.
