Chronological Male Intellectuals (12)
Yang Zheng immediately changed the topic again, and Yan Juanjuan didn't ask anything more.
Soon, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Not only are the children happy, but the adults are also so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut.
On this day, Yang Zheng and Yan Juanjuan respectively changed into the military coats they bought in the county before, not to mention, they really looked like couple clothes.
And when Yan Juanjuan came out, the captain and the captain's daughter-in-law were all happy, and her daughter was really handsome.
Because it was the New Year, the captain's daughter-in-law took some soybeans rarely, and she had soaked all night last night, and she was about to go to the stone mill at the entrance of the village to push the tofu back, after all, tofu is a good thing.
Yan Juanjuan also immediately wanted to go with the captain's daughter-in-law, after all, she was also very bored at home, no matter what she did, Yang Zheng was always worried.
The captain's daughter-in-law saw that Yan Juanjuan was indeed bored at home, and she did not refuse.
Of course, Yang Zheng also had to follow, but he just happened to be a coolie.
When I came to the entrance of the village, there were already many people lined up at this stone mill.
As soon as they saw Yan Juanjuan and Yang Zheng wearing military coats, everyone immediately praised them, plus in this place, everyone is wearing very ordinary old-fashioned cotton clothes, even if it is the New Year, there are some patches on the clothes they wear.
"Oh, I haven't seen it for a while, Juanjuan, this kid is a lot more handsome, look at walking with Yang Zhiqing, it's really a good match. ”
"Yes, Juanjuan is also a good fortune, how long has she been married, Juanjuan's belly has good news, you see, the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family, it has been almost three years since she entered the door, this stomach just hasn't moved, this person, you still have to depend on your fate!"
Because there is a topic, everyone starts talking about you and me one by one, and the discussion keeps going.
Yang Zheng has been standing behind Yan Juanjuan, ignoring the discussions in the crowd.
However, even so, there are always some people in the crowd who are unstable.
Isn't there anyone here, he immediately looked at Yang Zheng and said:
"But, Yang Zhiqing, you have to work hard, I looked at this year's work, your work is not as good as the women in our village, and the aunt is not as good as Juanjuan, you will be a father in the future, you can't always rely on your daughter-in-law and the captain's family to support you." ”
This person is Yan Juanjuan's sister-in-law's best friend, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the eldest man next door, because Yan Juanjuan's sister-in-law usually complains in front of her, no, as soon as there is a chance, this eldest daughter-in-law begins to be a demon.
If the retro Dalang's daughter-in-law is a child, Yang Zheng doesn't care, after all, life is his own, besides, what's wrong with having a daughter-in-law, you don't have to do more work, you can eat and drink, isn't it.
However, Yan Juanjuan couldn't stand it.
Others don't know, Yan Juanjuan knows, usually she doesn't raise him by herself at all, Yang Zheng supports herself.
Not to mention the usual expenses, even the usual food at home, Yang Zheng has never taken any advantage, and he still pays the food fee every month.
"No, don't say it if you don't know anything, my man has never needed me to raise him, he has the ability. ”
Yan Juanjuan said to Da Lang's daughter-in-law.
Da Lang's daughter-in-law was stunned, she didn't expect Yan Juanjuan, who is usually such a well-behaved woman, to dare to speak to herself like this.
This eldest daughter-in-law was a soldier because of her man's early years, and now she is said to have some achievements over there, so she has begun to publicize it, and she usually feels that she is superior.
Besides, this eldest daughter-in-law is at odds with Yan Juanjuan, not only because of Yan Juanjuan and her sister-in-law, but also because of jealousy.
is also a woman, why Yan Juanjuan was born with all kinds of favors, even the captain loves this girl very much.
and her three older brothers, all of whom made her jealous.
"Oh, Juanjuan is different when she gets married, and she is starting to know how to protect people. ”
Then, he looked at the captain's daughter-in-law and said:
"Auntie, it's really not easy for you, look at Juanjuan, you've really grown up. ”
What this eldest daughter-in-law said was very annoying, not to mention that Yan Juanjuan hated her very much, even the captain's daughter-in-law couldn't stand it.
Therefore, the captain's daughter-in-law spoke:
"This is natural, Yang Zhiqing is a good person, when he married Juanjuan, he was afraid that our old couple would miss children, you see, he took the initiative to say that he lived at home, just live at home, and pay me that food fee every month, hey, this is really heartfelt. ”
Subsequently, you felt that it was not enjoyable, so she touched the clothes on her body and said:
"You see my son-in-law just doesn't know that he has an outside heart, last time he and Juanjuan went to the county seat, you look at this back and buy it for me and her father these days, I'm so old, where else do I need anything!"
Although he said so, the smile on his face was not the slightest restraint.
Now, everyone also understands that this Yang Zhiqing is not as lazy as rumored, let's talk about the surroundings, where is there a son-in-law who is willing to buy clothes for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is still so good.
Not to mention, this Yang Zhiqing also pays for food every month, isn't this even more different, it is a real money, who said that he eats for nothing.
Now the daughter-in-law of the eldest son has a bad look on her face, and she is even more resentful of Yan Juanjuan and Yang Zheng in her heart, thinking that it is because of herself that she is so embarrassed, but when she thinks about it, the man in her family is much more powerful than this educated youth, and he can send fifty yuan to his family a month!
Although this educated youth has paid for food, who knows how many cents!
Yang Zheng looked at Da Lang's daughter-in-law, and also had an idea in his heart, Yang Zheng, who had revenge, would not let himself suffer this loss.
Although she didn't suffer any losses, she should be taught a certain lesson if she made her daughter-in-law unhappy.
But at this time for the New Year, Yang Zheng put away the thoughts in his heart.
It was also Yang Zheng's turn at this time.
Yang Zheng has never seen how to grind tofu, and it is the first time to use this stone mill.
When I used to be at home, I used to go to the market to buy ready-made tofu, where I needed to make my own.
Maybe it was because he knew that Yang Zheng wouldn't use this, the captain's daughter-in-law, took the initiative to demonstrate, Yang Zheng looked at it for a while, probably understood, and said:
"Mother, I'll push it. ”
The captain's daughter-in-law also passed.
Everyone saw Yang Zheng silently pushing the mill here, and they were very envious, how could their son-in-law come over to help, and suddenly envy the captain's daughter-in-law.
This is the New Year, who doesn't want to be reunited, but this married daughter splashed out of the water, and she won't come back at all in the two days of the New Year, so she will come back in the second day of the new year to play the autumn breeze.
The captain's daughter-in-law was also quite proud, and then took the polished things and went home.
Because although this tofu is grinded, it still needs to be boiled at home, so Yan Juanjuan, who is a little greedy, has been waiting in the kitchen.
The captain's daughter-in-law couldn't help but smile when she saw her baby girl so cute, "Wait, just wait a while." ”
Yan Juanjuan was a little embarrassed when the captain's daughter-in-law said this.
Yang Zheng was also called out by Yan Juanjuan's three elder brothers, because during the Chinese New Year, the men did not have any entertainment activities, so they didn't just play cards as a family.
The captain was not interested in the comparison, and even said when he saw it: the plaything is demoralized.
Usually, everyone may stop playing because of the captain's words, but this is not a year, and I know that the captain will not really be angry, so there is no financial management.
The captain then went out for another round of work.
Yan Juanjuan's three sisters-in-law began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning.
At the end of the year, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the most delicious, and many dishes are personally made by the captain's daughter-in-law, and they are also happy.
Therefore, the three of them at this time had already gone for a walk, and there were only Yan Juanjuan and the captain's daughter-in-law in the kitchen.
"Mother, this is so fragrant, I want to keep a piece later, fry it in oil, is it okay?"
Yan Juanjuan's eyes were full of anticipation.
The captain's daughter-in-law didn't say a word, and took out a piece, "Wait a minute, my mother will make it for you, this year's tofu is well done, and it is fragrant!"
There is also a custom here, today's noon is not eaten, which is equivalent to two meals a day, and in the morning, everyone is also very full before leaving.
At noon, Yan Juanjuan was a little hungry, so she ran back to the house.
Because Yang Zheng bought a lot of delicious food, Yan Juanjuan ate a lot in the room.
But at this time, Yan Juanjuan's sister-in-law came back, and I don't know why, she went directly into Yan Juanjuan's room.
I happened to see Yan Juanjuan stealing biscuits, and at this moment, it was another commotion.
"I buy things for my daughter-in-law, why do I need my sister-in-law's consent?"
Yang Zheng really can't look down on this sister-in-law.
"Hey, we haven't split up yet, how can we only take care of ourselves when we buy something. ”
Yan Juanjuan's sister-in-law is not fuel-efficient.
"Sister-in-law, I remember our father said that after starting a family, you only need to hand over half of your monthly salary, why can't you have some of your own money when you get to your son-in-law?"
As soon as Yang Zheng said this, he frightened Yan Juanjuan's three sisters-in-law.
They were also ignored, and then they were all brought over by their own men to educate.
Yan Juanjuan was a little aggrieved, she was hungry, and if she ate something from her own house, she had to be told.
As soon as the person left the room, Yang Zheng sat next to Yan Juanjuan and coaxed and said:
"Are you still hungry? This peach crisp is good, you're eating one. ”
Yan Juanjuan shook her head, "Did I do something wrong, I shouldn't have eaten it secretly." ”
Yang Zheng touched Yan Juanjuan's head and said:
"Don't think about it, do you think that your three sisters-in-law didn't buy things behind your back, I saw that sister-in-law buy a pound of fruit candy last time, and your second sister-in-law, last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a can, and your third sister-in-law also bought ......"
Hearing Yang Zheng say this, Yan Juanjuan was very surprised, she didn't expect that her sister-in-law also secretly bought things.
But after thinking about it, it's right, before the three brothers got married, his father said that he only needs to pay half every month regardless of the family, and Yang Zheng is originally a son-in-law, and there is no problem in paying food expenses every month.
Yan Juanjuan, who wanted to open it, immediately turned to Yang Zheng and said:
"My stomach is not full yet, I am hungry. ”
Seeing Yan Juanjuan's appearance, Yang Zheng smiled, "Then I'm eating some." ”
Of course, Yang Zheng didn't hide his secrets, and then he gave some to the captain's daughter-in-law.
"Mother, Juanjuan has been hungry from time to time since she was pregnant, so I bought some biscuits for preparation, and you can eat some too. ”
The captain's daughter-in-law also knows what has just happened, and she really doesn't know what to think about her daughter-in-law, and they usually don't buy less things themselves.
Now that the son-in-law has sent something over, the captain's daughter-in-law is still very moved, "Ah Zheng, you take it back, this thing is not cheap, give it to Juanjuan to eat carefully." ”
"It's okay, mother, Juanjuan eats, there's still one over there. ”
The captain's daughter-in-law saw that Yang Zheng insisted and accepted it, and she was even more dissatisfied with the three daughters-in-law.
However, no matter how you say it, if you have to give your son face, it will be over.
Although there was such an unpleasant thing, it did not affect everyone's good mood in the evening.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone has been waiting for a whole year.
However, before that, Yang Zheng dragged Huang Weisan to get a radio, which is a good thing, and the captain can't put it down.
No, during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone listened to the radio program and ate at the same time.
Even, the captain took out the liquor that had been collected for a long time, and the men each had a glass.
I don't know why, looking at the dishes on this table, Yang Zheng is not very greedy.
Maybe it's these days, the pork that Huang Weisan sends from time to time makes Yang Zheng's stomach full of gluttonous worms.
"Come on, come on, let's drink a few of them, I hope the days will get better and better in the future. ”
The captain was a little emotional because he had just drunk a little wine, and he was even happier to see the whole family get together at this time.
On the radio, fireworks are being played in Beijing, crackling, making everyone yearn for it.
In this place, no one has seen fireworks, they have seen it in movies, but when they hear this sound, they are already excited.
There is also a habit here, keeping the New Year.
A large family ate melon seeds together, ate small sugar, and fried peanuts, plus the small snacks that Yang Zheng brought back from the county last time, everyone was very happy.
However, it didn't take long for Yan Juanjuan to feel a little tired, and everyone knew that Yan Juanjuan was in a special situation at this time, so they didn't say anything, and asked Yang Zheng to take her back to the room to rest.
Here, Yang Zheng took Yan Juanjuan to the room and talked privately for a while.
"Ah Zheng, do you really think the fireworks are so colorful, are they so beautiful?"
Yan Juanjuan asked curiously, I don't know why, in Yan Juanjuan's cognition, Yang Zheng seems to know everything.
Yang Zheng smiled, "The fireworks are very beautiful and colorful, as long as they are lit, they will go up with a bang." ”
