Chapter 168: His Childhood
"Cheng Jingmo, what did they mean by what they said just now, what do you mean by the matter between you and Cheng Lianchun?"
No wonder, when Cheng Lianchun saw her for the first time yesterday, he was so hostile to her.
It turned out to be because of Cheng Jingmo!
Yu Xiangnian believes in Cheng Jingmo.
It is impossible for him to do something that violates morality, it should be Cheng Lianchun's problem.
Cheng Jingmo's answer was very simple, "My family asked me to marry her, but I didn't agree." ”
At this time, Yu Xiangnian was even more shocked!
Even if Cheng Jingmo and Cheng Lianchun are not related by blood, they are also brother and sister, how can they be together? !
She also wanted to ask, but Cheng Jingmo walked quickly to an old woman, "Third uncle." ”
The third uncle looked at Cheng Jingmo for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Pick up the baby!" The third uncle and grandmother almost don't recognize you! ”
"Third uncle, why didn't you come to dinner yesterday?"
The third uncle said regretfully: "There is something at home that can't be separated, I heard your third uncle say what happened yesterday." Picking up the baby is out! ”
Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiang Nian's hand and said, "Third uncle, this is my daughter-in-law." ”
Yu Xiangnian smiled and bowed his head, "The third uncle is good." ”
"Tut-tut!" The third uncle looked at Yu Xiangnian with a satisfied expression, "The daughter-in-law who picks up the baby is really handsome!" Blessed is picking up babies! ”
The corners of Cheng Jingmo's mouth curled slightly, "Third Uncle Grandma, I brought some special products for you from Nancheng and sent them to you in the afternoon." ”
"You're welcome!" The third uncle said, "Your third uncle said yesterday that he would let the two of you come to the house for a meal, when do you think you have time?" ”
Cheng Jingmo replied: "This afternoon, okay?" ”
"What's wrong with that! I'll go back to cooking later. The third uncle looked at Yu Xiangnian and asked, "Picking up the baby daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat?" ”
Yu Xiangnian replied with a smile: "I don't pick." ”
The main thing is that there is no picking!
Just now, along the way, I can be regarded as seeing the situation in the village.
It seems that the conditions of every household are similar to Cheng Jingmo's family.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Third uncle, she likes to eat noodles. She must love to eat the lo noodles you make. ”
"Okay, well, just make lo mein."
Cheng Jingmo originally planned to visit the third uncle and them in a few days, but now he has decided to do so temporarily.
He went back to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two bottles of wine and four catties of pastries.
In the afternoon, Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie to the third uncle's house.
They also brought some dried fish and dried shrimp.
The third uncle and his children were separated, and the old couple lived in an old house.
The third uncle criticized: "Such a precious thing, you bring so much!" ”
Yu Xiangnian smiled: "The third uncle didn't eat it yesterday, so I specially brought it to her." We don't have anything else, just such a little heart, the third uncle can't refuse. ”
The third uncle glanced at Cheng Jingmo, "Your daughter-in-law is more talkative than you, learn a little." ”
The meal is very simple, one bowl of lo mein per person, and a dish of fried shredded potatoes and a dish of pickled radish are placed on the table.
The lo-mein is made of bacon, and some sauerkraut is added, which tastes like bacon, and there are sauerkraut appetizers, which are much better than Cheng Jingmo's meals.
In this poor mountain village, except for the New Year's Eve meat, no family is willing to eat meat on weekdays.
Moreover, today's meal was decided on an ad hoc basis, and meat could not be bought at that time.
This should be the only meat in the third uncle's house, and he is usually reluctant to eat it, so he took it out and ate it today.
The third uncle disclosed the two bottles of wine brought by Cheng Jingmo, poured two glasses, and the two chatted while drinking.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jingmo and the third uncle could talk quite well.
After eating, the two carried their wine glasses into the hall and continued to chat.
This should be the second person besides Yu Xiangyang who can talk to Cheng Jingmo until he forgets time.
Yu Xiangnian said to the third uncle and grandmother, "It's the first time I've seen Cheng Jingmo say this!" ”
The third uncle glanced at the two people who were chatting intently, "It can be regarded as picking up the baby and your third uncle." ”
Yu Xiangnian began to inquire about Cheng Jingmo's past.
From the mouth of the third uncle's grandmother, I learned:
Cheng Jingmo was picked up by Cheng Huazi on a snowy day.
That day, Cheng Huazi went into the mountains to hunt and got lost, and when he encountered a wolf holding a child in his mouth, he fired a shot.
The wolf threw down the child and fled, and Cheng Jingmo was picked up.
At that time, Cheng Huazi and Mu Huanzhen had been married for more than three years and had no children, so they picked up Cheng Jingmo as their baby.
"It's strange for you to say, your mother-in-law became pregnant within two months of picking up the baby and returning home, and then gave birth to six in succession. Cheng Huazi can hit the prey if he goes into the mountains casually. ”
"Picking up a baby is the lucky star of the Cheng family, but the Cheng family..." The third uncle sighed.
Yu Xiangnian didn't know why his heart tightened because of the sigh of the third uncle's grandmother.
The third uncle and grandmother said: "Cheng Huazi's family used to be poor, and they didn't even have a house, and the two of them lived in a partial house. ”
Yu Xiangnian felt that it should be the room that Cheng Lianqin and Cheng Lian kept.
"When the two of them had their own children, they thought it was a drag to pick up the baby, and when they were seven years old, the two sold him."
"Back then, your third uncle scolded the two of them for having no conscience, saying that picking up the baby was the lucky star of the Cheng family, and if the baby was gone, the Cheng family would collapse!"
"If you really let your third uncle say right, within two weeks of picking up the baby and selling it, Cheng Liansuo became ill, and the doctor asked him to prepare for the future. Cheng Huazi broke her leg when she went into the mountain, and Mu Huanzhen almost burned down the house when she was cooking! ”
"Only then did these two people believe your third uncle's words, and after a total of them, they bought the baby back. But there were already three children at home, and there was no place to sleep, so they were sent to the cowshed to sleep when they picked up the baby. ”
At that time, Cheng Huazi was responsible for raising the two cows in the village, and she slept with the two cows when she picked up the baby. We were all worried that the cow would accidentally step on him! ”
Yu Xiangnian felt that he was a little out of breath, why was Cheng Jingmo's life experience so miserable!
The third uncle and grandmother said again: "Picking up a baby is a sensible baby. At the age of seven or eight, he was able to go into the mountains alone to hunt and look for wild vegetables. In those years, when there was a famine, even adults could not necessarily find food when they went into the mountains, but he could find it. ”
"Later, when the baby grew up, one year he went to sign up for the conscription in the village, and then he was selected. But when it came to registering his name, he didn't even have a name. ”
"Your third uncle knows a few words, and he was also present at that conscription, and temporarily named the baby Cheng Jingmo."
"Your third uncle said that he didn't like to talk since he was a child, so he gave him a silent word, and hoped that he would have a bright future in the future, so he added a Jing word."
The more Yu Xiangnian listened, the more uncomfortable he became, from the beginning of the chest suffocation, to now his heart hurts as if he was being pinched.
Cheng Jingmo's childhood was too gloomy!
No, he didn't have a childhood!
She looked at Cheng Jingmo with pity in her eyes.
He was chatting energetically with the third uncle, his deep eyes were slightly curved, and his face was rarely happy.
The third uncle said: "However, when the conscription comes home, the Cheng family has something to do again!" ”
