Chapter 87 Feeling like a mother

The Cheng family is next door to the Zhou family, just past the road in front of the Zhou family house. It is also a two-story building. Sister-in-law Liu returned home and loaded the grain bags into the cart. He fell to the ground, took the mushrooms into his house, took them out and put them on the ground to breathe, picked up tea, bread and rice dumplings, and then drove to the fields again.

The car passed through the village and drove to the road to the farmland. When it stopped at a place, Sister-in-law Liu picked up food and walked along the field ridge across several fields to the Cheng family's big field. She was busy greeting people. Those who want to take a rest first.

The afternoon sun is very strong. People in the fields all wear straw hats to soak up the sun. The rice leaves fly out and stick to people, causing an itchy feeling. Everyone's face is red.

Helping the Cheng family are not only the Zhou family and Zhou Qiufeng, but also Cheng Youde's cousin and his wife, as well as Zhang Ke and Wu's sister-in-law. Zhang Ke's mother is the Cheng family's aunt, and Cheng Youde and Zhang Ke are the elders. surface.

Cheng Youde is also a daughter and a son. They went to college and did not come back during the summer vacation. They went to work during the summer vacation. Including the owner, there were nine people in the field. They each finished their work and went away. We sat around, wiped our faces, and had something to eat first to replenish our strength.

"I had just sent Gu home, and happened to meet Lele when he came back. Xiao Lele gave me a big turkey tail mushroom, saying that it would be eaten by our elderly people."

While speaking, Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but praise the Lele girl again. When Yueqing broke her leg, the Cheng family and the Zhou family lent money to the Le family. Lele was taught by the older generation to be grateful. The elderly people who have helped the Le family are particularly respected. Even if the older generation of the Le family has passed away, Xiao Lele still respects the elderly as always.

"Lele is very sincere, you didn't know it until today." Cheng Youde smiled and answered his wife's words: "Lele was admitted to Qingdao University, and I was waiting for Yueqing to treat me to a drink, and I didn't know Yueqing When will we invite you?"

When Zhou Qiufeng heard that Lele was back, her old face became unnaturally hot, and she was extremely proud for a moment. She was now Lele's new mother, and when she heard people praise her child, how could she Some are unhappy.

Sister-in-law Zhou was slightly startled and looked at Zhou Qiufeng secretly. She found that her sister-in-law was snickering. , she has to take care of the chickens and ducks every day, as well as the fields outside, the vegetables in the garden, everything, so she has endless work to do in a day.

Now, Sister-in-law Zhou also regrets it. If she had known this, she would definitely not dislike her sister-in-law living in her parents' house. With her sister-in-law here, she doesn't have to take care of the housework at all. At most, she and the man go to the fields to do some work. .

Unfortunately, regret is of no use. My sister-in-law has already gone to the Le family, and she really puts the Le family first in everything and no longer cares about the Zhou family's affairs.

Thinking of having to do everything by herself in the future, Mrs. Zhou felt particularly depressed.

Sister-in-law Zhou is in a gloomy mood, Brother Zhou is in high spirits, it’s great that Lele is back, only then will we know that Xiaofeng and Yueqing are married.

Cheng Youde mentioned whether the Le family wanted to invite a drink. Brother Zhou also expressed his opinion and expressed that he wanted to have a drink. You must know that Le Yun became the provincial champion, which made Meizijing Village popular. He went to the street to buy and sell. When he mentioned Meizijing Village, many people in nearby villages said that Meicun was the No. 1 village.

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Liu said again: "My dear, which university did Zhang Jing apply to? When will you invite me for a drink?"

Zhang Ke and his wife were embarrassed. Sister-in-law Wu replied with a blushing face: "The admission letter hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know where we will go. We won't invite you to drink. We are just going to college. There is no need to show off."

Sister-in-law Wu hesitated and hesitated. Cheng Youde and Brother Zhou guessed that Zhang Jing probably did much worse than Leyun. If Zhang Jing did well in the exam, Sister-in-law Wu would definitely publicize and show off everywhere. It was impossible. No wine will be served, only a grand display to celebrate.

No one tried to expose Zhang Ke and his wife’s little tricks. After a short break, everyone took the time to get back to work.

When the rays of light cover the western sky, busy people also call it a day.

Le Yun cleaned a batch of fungi and some medicinal materials at home and moved them to the second floor to dry them. When the sun was about to set and could no longer shine on the floor in front of the house, she took the initiative to help the Cheng family harvest the grain. Gather the sun-dried millet into piles and put them into woven bags.

She was quick with her hands and feet and cleared the place in less than 20 minutes. The woven bag containing the millet was not tied, allowing it to breathe first. She washed her hands before gathering her own medicinal materials and mushrooms and cooking.

I plugged in the rice cooker and was about to feed the chickens when I heard the beeping sound of a tricycle outside. I knew my dad was back and hurriedly ran to see it.

Lele’s dad just came outside after get off work and saw a person popping out. He took a look and smiled from his heart, full of joy: "Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, you are finally home. ."

His girl has been in the mountains for more than twenty days, and she is just shy of a month. He is almost worried to death. Every time he thinks about it, he wants to praise the child. This When I saw the child, my desire to teach her a lesson had long been forgotten, and I could only feel happy.

"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket misses you so much. Dad, your girl has got something good again." Le Yun jumped over to her when she saw her dad. , smiling and hugging his father's arm, with an expression of "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly".

"Dad also wants to see the little cotton-padded jacket. Let me see if the little cotton-padded jacket has lost weight. After staying in the mountains for so long, has it been injured anywhere? Has it caught a cold or been hungry? There are so many mountain torrents. Big, are you scared..."

When Dad Le saw the girl, he immediately caught herThe man looked around and asked questions like a barrage of questions, one after another without any pause in between.

Leyun’s eyes felt hot as she listened to her father’s long list of questions. She cooperatively showed him and turned around in a circle: “Your little cotton-padded jacket is not thin. You eat mountain delicacies every day. The game has grown a little taller and gained some meat. Dad, come home soon. The little cotton-padded jacket has found something delicious."

"Yeah, let's go home." Dad Le said happily. He responded, drove around, turned under the eaves of his house, parked the car, stood on the ground with a cane, saw the gate, and suddenly blushed when he thought of his marriage to Zhou Qiufeng.

Le Yun helped her dad into the main room. Le dad saw a lot of mushrooms in the bamboo sieve, including shiitake mushrooms, fungus, phoenix tail mushrooms, chicken foot bones, squash mushrooms, and two balls of turkey tails. Chicken fungi, his eyes widened: "Lele, where did you get so many fungi?"

"I'm lucky, I picked them up along the way on my way back. Dad, first Don't talk about that, tell your girl, what happy events happened in our family. We posted red happy words everywhere and bought new furniture. Did you win the lottery by buying a lottery ticket?"

"Lele... ...Oh, Lele, that...that..." Lele's father's old face was so hot that he was too embarrassed to talk about his marriage.

"Dad, could it be that you got a wife?" Seeing her dad blushing, a flash of lightning flashed in Le Yun's mind. Could it be that she guessed it? ?

She struggled for nearly half a day and had numerous assumptions. In the end, she was overturned by herself, leaving only one: Dad is married!

Only people who get married would post happy words, but she was also skeptical. With his father’s shy personality, it would be too difficult for him to confess his love to Aunt Feng. Thanks to Grandma Zhou, she opened up the topic and made her father and Aunt Feng willing to live together. It would not be so soon, at least they would not get married until she came back.

At this moment, seeing her father’s appearance, Le Yun felt that it was most likely that her father had thrown away the title of single and was promoted to a married person.

"...Hmm." Dad Le was so embarrassed that he hummed in a small voice.

"Is the new mother Aunt Feng? Dad, please tell me, please tell me, right?" Le Yun hugged her father's hand and shook it, the smile emerged from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't even hide it. live.

"It's..." Le Dad wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

"Oh, long live dad!" Le Yun hugged her dad excitedly and rested her head on his chest. Dad got married. After all, she was not a child without a mother. She also had a mother. A complete family. From now on, when dad has a wife, she can feel at ease when she travels to other places.

Being hugged by the child, Dad Le shyly peeked at the girl. When he saw his little cotton-padded jacket, his eyes narrowed with laughter.With a straight line and a grin on his face, the smile was full of joy. He asked sheepishly: "Lele, don't you blame dad?" I'm a little regretful that I got married, but it doesn't matter. My father found me a good new mother. I have a father and a new mother, and our family is complete."

Le's father raised his rough hands , touching the girl's head, her eyes suddenly turned red. Lele had not had a mother since she was a child. She wanted a new mother very much. It was he who caused her childhood to lack maternal love. He wanted to cry, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice: "Brother Lele , is Lele back?"

Whoosh, Lele's father turned around: "Xiaofeng, Lele is back."

Leyun threw herself into her father's arms. Hearing the sound, he also raised his head and helped his father turn around. He happened to see Zhou Qiufeng arriving at the door. She was holding a straw hat in one hand and a sickle for cutting grain in the other. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and sleeves on her arms.

"Aunt Feng, no, it's a new mother!" Le Yun threw her father away and ran away like a joy, running towards Zhou Qiufeng.

Upon hearing the words "new mother", Zhou Qiufeng was nailed to the spot, unable to move any further, looking straight at the approaching little Lele, her nose was sore and the corners of her eyes were warm.

She wanted to cry. Even if she married Yueqing, she was still worried. She was afraid that Lele would change his mind one day and would despise her as a burden. However, she did not expect that someone would treat her like a burden. Yes Bao, sincerely accept her as a new family member.

Zhou Qiufeng's heart palpitated, and tears almost flowed from her eyes. She was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then she was hugged by someone who rushed towards her, and her head was thrust into her arms.

Throwing herself into the new mother's arms, Le Yun smiled happily: "New mother, from now on I will still be called Aunt Feng, not mom. Calling me mom will remind me of that heartless and unjust woman. When you call me a new mother, it sounds like a nanny to outsiders. Although you can't call me mother, I think of Aunt Feng as my mother."

"Okay, as long as Lele likes it." Zhou Qiufeng swallowed her tears and said I lost my straw hat and patted Little Lele gently on the shoulder. My heart was filled with a warm feeling. She was also a mother of a child!

After being thrown away, Lele’s father stood by himself and watched the girl throw herself into Zhou Qiufeng’s arms. He couldn’t help but be jealous: “Little heartless Lele, I don’t want my father anymore when I have a new mother. "

"Dad, my new mother is your wife, and I feel ashamed to be jealous of my own girl."

"You are the only one who has reason."
< br /> "I am right."

Listening to a father and daughter bickering, the smile on Zhou Qiufeng's face became wider and wider. She wanted to pinch her child's face, but was afraid that there would be grain residue on her hands. He held back his hand and threw away the sickle: "Brother Lele will help light the fire. I'll feed the pigs first, and then I'll kill a chicken and give it to Lele."Nutrition. "

"Hey, I'll go. "Le's father went to the kitchen happily.

"Don't kill the chicken, I'm not malnourished. "Now, she finally knows where the extra chickens, ducks and furniture came from. They were brought by the new mother from the Zhou family.

"Yes, when little Lele is growing. Only by properly increasing nutrition can we grow faster. I took the chickens and ducks to sell some, and kept a few to kill and eat. "

"Well, Aunt Feng takes a bath first. The gray ash on her body makes her hairy and itchy, which makes her feel uncomfortable. "

Such a simple sentence was so heart-warming that Zhou Qiufeng was filled with joy, her eyes were hot, and warm tears rushed out of her eyes. She immediately reached out to wipe away the tears and answered with a smile. Good: “...Okay, I’ll take a shower first. ”.

She was afraid that the tiny bits of grass leaves on her body might get onto her child, so she took a step back, took off her sleeves, took two steps to the bedroom to find clean clothes, and carried two buckets. Cold water, I went to take a shower.

Le Yun ran into the kitchen happily and saw her father sitting on a short stool lighting the fire, with a sweet smile on his face that always smiled naively. , moved a bench and sat across from Dad, looked at him and laughed fiercely: "Dad, I heard Aunt Liu say that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are helping her family harvest rice. Let's go and ask your mother-in-law to come over for dinner tonight?" "

"Uh! "When the girl teased him, Dad Le almost choked and pretended to glare like a grown-up parent. But when he saw the child's smiling face that was brighter than a sunflower, he couldn't even pretend to be fierce.
< br />　"Zhou Chunmei is back from vacation, and Zhou Tianming is also back. Your grandma Zhou probably wants to provide food for her grandchildren, so she won't come over. "

"You can ask them to come together. "

"This... this, let's forget it. "Dad Le objected hesitantly.

"Why? "Le Yun asked a hundred thousand reasons, and then reacted instantly: "Does Sister Chunmei have any objections? "

"Well, when Chunmei came back and found out that her aunt was living with me, she lost her temper and was very dissatisfied with your Aunt Feng. She didn't want to make your new mother feel wronged by asking her to come over for dinner. "

"I know, I'll send some fungi to Grandma Zhou. "

"Okay, you go ahead. If Chunmei says anything, don't fight with her again. "

Dad Le did not object, because Zhou Chunmei didn't like their family, so they couldn't invite the Zhou family's grandparents and grandchildren to come over for dinner. It was a child's filial piety to send something to the old man, and it was two different things than asking them to come over for dinner.

　“Don’t worry, I can get things done by making noises, and I usually won’t fight with people. Le Yun giggled to herself, Fei YiHe rushed out of the kitchen.

Lele’s dad was wiping away in cold sweat. Is Lele planning to quarrel with Zhou Chunmei? He originally wanted to persuade Xiao Mianjiao to hold back his anger and not cause trouble, but then he thought about it, well, let Lele go. If there was a fight, it would be better to let Lele help Xiaofeng vent his anger.
