Floating Clouds - (23)
This year was the beginning of the spring semester, and Qi Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhidong took the train to Shang'an City a few days in advance.
The "boom" of the green train finally arrived at the station.
Jiang Zhidong had a big bag, Qi Xiaoyu was holding the child, and the two of them left the station to take the bus to Jiang's house.
Shang'an City is very large, with six districts, and the district where Jiang's family is located is the most prosperous place in Shang'an City.
Soon, the bus stopped, got off at once, and walked into the alley.
Jiang Zhidong walked in front and behind, and Qi Xiaoyu walked behind.
Qi Xiaoyu walked tightly holding her son Xiao Tudou's hand, passing through one alley after another and finally arrived at the courtyard of the Jiang family.
Qi Xiaoyu's face was confused, and his heart had already turned upside down.
She looked at the familiar alley, looked at Jiang Zhi's back, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
Soon, it was Jiang's house.
The Jiang family lived in a courtyard house, a traditional courtyard-style building.
The courtyard gate is not big, the mahogany lacquer door, the courtyard wall is made of blue bricks, and it looks at one grid at a time from afar, which is very neat and orderly.
Jiang Zhidong stood outside the door and knocked on the courtyard door, and after a while, a girl opened the courtyard door.
This girl is Jiang Zhidong's sister-in-law, as soon as she saw her second brother, she showed a smile on her face, shouted cordially twice, and hurriedly shouted into the yard, "Parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother are back." ”
Soon there was movement in the courtyard, Jiang Zhidong seemed to react, put down the things, and introduced to his little sister, "Zhiying, this is your second sister-in-law and your nephew Xiao Tudou." ”
"Xiaoyu, this is the little sister Zhiying. ”
Jiang Zhiying pouted and didn't open his mouth to scream, Jiang Zhidong just wanted to say something, his own parents had already come out.
The population of the Jiang family is not much, Jiang Zhidong also has a big brother, the eldest brother has returned to his hometown with his daughter-in-law last year, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law have two sons.
Jiang Zhidong's father, Jiang Weiguo, is the director of a factory, and his mother, Yang Cui, is a middle school Chinese teacher.
She glanced at the second daughter-in-law introduced by her son, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see joy.
Walking into Jiang's house, it was very spacious.
There is a jujube tree in the courtyard, and several pots of moonflowers, peonies, magnolias, wisteria, etc. are planted next to the tree. , there is a moon flower that has already bloomed.
Qi Xiaoyu had heard in his previous life that planting jujube trees in the courtyard meant "early" to give birth to noble sons, many sons, and planting cloves, etc., indicating that the owner had an identity and a certain cultural accomplishment.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and Qi Xiaoyu took a slight breath.
The courtyard of the Jiang family has a good pattern.
There are three main rooms, two rooms on the left, two rooms on the right, two courtyards in and two out, passing by the weeping flower gate, there are trees, flowers and fruits in the courtyard, and there are several side rooms.
Flowers and fruit trees are planted in the courtyard for viewing.
The two-entry courtyard is divided into the front yard and the back yard, and the back yard is also called the inner house.
The front yard is composed of a gatehouse and an inverted seat room, and the one that connects the front and back yards is generally a hanging flower door, and some relatively simple residences
In the Jiang family, the second elder lives in the main house, the middle is the lobby room, the eldest son lives in the left compartment, the second son lives in the right compartment, and the daughter lives in the backyard, and the family does not affect each other.
Jiang Zhidong picked up his luggage and took Xiaoyu and the child back to the room, and while the rest of the family was away, he opened his mouth to comfort her.
"Don't be nervous, your parents get along very well, so do your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and your younger sister. ”
Qi Xiaoyu hugged the child and sneered in her heart, she really wanted to look at Jiang Zhidong and speak, "It must be very easy for you to get along with, they are related to you by blood." ”
But she just glanced at Jiang Zhidong lukewarmly.
The Li family had already received a letter that their second son would come back, so they made some dumplings and came out.
Yang Cui Mali cooked dumplings, and Jiang Zhiying mocked Qi Xiaoyu on the side.
"Mom, have you seen it, what is in the countryside is what is in the country, and it is annoying to cower. ”
Yang Cui glanced at her daughter, didn't speak, and continued to cook dumplings.
She knew that her daughter didn't like Qi Xiaoyu, did she like it?
Yang Cui sighed, now that Zhidong has been admitted to Shang'an University, what kind of excellent girl do you want?
She shook her head, she had to think about how to get her second daughter-in-law to take the initiative to divorce Zhidong peacefully.
In the wing room, Qi Xiaoyu cleaned up quickly, this house was not cleaned up at all, and she thought about the attitude of the Jiang family while cleaning up.
She still remembers the fragment in her mind very clearly, she came over when Jiang Zhidong was famous.
The attitude of the Jiang family is really not ordinarily bad.
Qi Xiaoyu sighed, marriage may be the same in any era, and you always have to balance your strength.
However, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
But she is already married to Jiang Zhidong, and she is now admitted to university, as long as there is no accident, she can be assigned a job in the future, and she can support herself without relying on Jiang Zhidong.
But now the Jiang family's attitude is still stinky and hard, Qi Xiaoyu shook his head, and glanced at the man who was helping to tidy up, if it weren't for this man's conscience, if he didn't like this man a little, if he wasn't a little reluctant in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that divorce in this era affected the distribution of work......
She reassured herself that she would forget it, so be it.
She opened the baggage that Jiang Zhidong brought, there were clean sheets and quilts brought, she laid out the things one by one, and dismantled the things in the baggage and tidied them up, and the room finally looked at the window mirror brightly and neatly breathed a sigh of relief.
The room had a large bed, a desk by the window, two stools, and a half-old wardrobe, a kettle, and a washbasin.
"The second brother has eaten. ”
Jiang Zhiying's voice came, and she stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the second brother's room.
Soon, she saw the woman who was not white-skinned, thin, and barely handsome, walking beside her second brother.
She was angry in her heart, what kind of person is her second brother?
was born well, has a good temper, and now has been admitted to one of the top universities, how can that woman be her second sister-in-law?
Her eyes were full of flames, and it was only when she saw them approaching that she hid her dissatisfaction.
She called her second brother to eat, which was deliberate.
She just didn't want to shout the country woman in front of her, not only did she not shout, but she also had to give the country woman a good look.
Soon, the family sat down at the dinner table and was ready to eat.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Jiang family both work in the factory where Jiang Zhidong's father works, and Jiang Zhiying is the same.
The sister-in-law's family is actually not much better than Qi Xiaoyu's family, except for an urban household registration and a rural household registration.
When her sister-in-law entered the door, she was not welcomed, but now there is an even more unpopular one, and she is very happy.
Yesterday, I heard my sister-in-law and mother-in-law say how much they hated these two siblings, and she didn't like it when she looked at it twice.
I don't know if this person can still be admitted to university?
Oh, she sneered and was a little jealous in her heart.
"Brother and sister, are the dumplings made by my mother delicious? Have you ever eaten such delicious dumplings at home?"
Qi Xiaoyu had just taken a bite of the dumplings, and now when she saw her sister-in-law smiling like this, she knew what her sister-in-law was thinking.
Her hungry stomach suddenly lost her appetite.
But she's not stupid, and she won't punish herself with hunger.
She finished eating the dumplings in her mouth before she opened her mouth to answer.
"Sister-in-law, guess I've eaten at home?"
