Chapter 631: Falling out
It was almost eleven o'clock when Mrs. Zhou returned home with the girl from her parents' home in the neighboring county. When she saw her mother-in-law preparing lunch, she didn't dare to say anything and put down her things and went to help.
Zhou Xialong called her last night and told her that her family was harvesting rice, and told her that since she thought her parents' family was so good, she should not come back in the future.
After being scolded by Brother Zhou, Sister Zhou couldn’t say she felt aggrieved. She and the girl returned to Jiudao from grandma’s house early in the morning. Even if they hurriedly hurried, they still couldn’t get back to work in the fields. She came back late, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, Brother Zhou returned to the Zhou family after finishing work, and also transported back half a truck of rice. The Zhou family did not have much land, and they had enough manpower. It was still early at noon to finish cutting the seedlings. Everyone took the time to thresh the grains with a threshing machine and took them back to Zhou's house at noon.
People who came back from work were washing their faces with cold water in the courtyard of Zhou’s house. Grandma Zhou didn’t see the Le family father and daughter, so she asked her son: “Xia Long, didn’t Lele and his father come here together?”
When her mother-in-law asked about Leyun, Sister-in-law Zhou knew that Zhou Qiufeng was back from the hospital.
Zhou Chunmei was in the living room downstairs. When she heard that her father and the helper were back, she ran outside and showed her face, calling people one by one. Both Zhang Poluo and Village Chief Zhou responded calmly. , and then ignored her. She retreated into the lower room again. When she heard her grandma calling Le Yun over for dinner, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Mom, Lele and Yueqing can't come to eat. It's better for the father and daughter to have a lively meal at home, otherwise it would be too deserted to leave Qiufeng alone at home. Mom, you can help me when you are free in the afternoon. Give them a duck."
Brother Zhou answered and fetched water to wash his face.
"Oh, that's okay, Lele is good to her Aunt Feng, and I like it too." Grandma Zhou smiled happily. Qiu Feng gave birth to a baby, and she couldn't go to other people's homes until she was one month old. Neither can Qiufeng, even if they are so close to each other, and Yueqing and Lele are invited to have a meal. Yueqing and his daughter are not at home, so it is really not interesting for Qiufeng to eat alone.
So, Grandma Zhou no longer asked Xia Long to call Yueqing and his daughter to set the table for dinner.
The Le family was actually not deserted. Grandma Zhou Man was afraid that Zhou Qiufeng would be bored at home alone because Yueqing and his daughter went to work for Brother Zhou's family, so she went to keep Zhou Qiufeng company, and naturally stayed at noon. Le's family has lunch.
There was Grandma Zhou Man staying with Aunt Feng at home. Le Yun was very happy. After eating, she even took Grandma Zhou Man away and gave her two packs of pills, one for Grandma Zhou Man and one for her. For Grandpa Zhou Man, tell her not to tell outsiders, lest all the elderly in the village come looking for her.
Grandma Zhou Man also knows the importance of keeping wealth hidden. The health pills Xiao Lele made for her and the old man are naturally precious. She will not talk nonsense. Once Everyone in the village knew it, and the whole village ran to find the little boy.Lele wants pills, but she has to exhaust little Lele to death.
She also knew that Lele gave Cheng Youde’s father, Liu Lu’s mother, and Zhang Poluo’s mother each a health pill, because those few had borrowed money from the Le family during the most difficult time. He lent rice to Lele's family and helped Lele's family during busy farming periods. He was also very kind to little Lele and often helped take care of him. For a while, Lele was weak and needed nutrition to improve his health. Liu Lu's wife also took little Lele back to her parents' home. She asked her sister-in-law to feed her for a few days.
Lele is a child who treats you well every time you treat her well. She remembers all the kindness others do to Lejia and the favors Lelea owes to others. She also remembers the evil.
Xiao Lele used to be unfavorable, but now that she has grown up, she is slowly repaying those who have helped the Le family.
Grandma Zhou Man was very pleased. Xiao Lele was so sensible and would not wrong Qiufeng and Leshan. They were relieved.
Le Yun didn’t take a nap at noon, soaked sea cucumbers, cooked lotus seed soup to relieve the heat, and went to the back garden to tame the sweet potato vines. At 2:30, she and her father set off to work in the Zhou family’s fields. .
Brother Zhou and others rested until three o'clock before going to work. Sister Zhou and Zhou Chunmei also went to the fields together. After all, it was their own work. If they didn't go, they would be sprayed to death by the villagers.
A group of people rushed to the farmland outside the village and noticed the rumbling of machines in the field from a distance. They recognized the Le family father and daughter threshing rice fields. Brother Zhou couldn't help but complain: "Then These two guys must be made of iron. They start work earlier than me in the morning, and they are faster than my boss at noon. Where can I put my face?"
"Put your crotch on your pants." Village Chief Zhou looked at it In front of Xialong's wife and Zhou Chunmei, they replied half-truthfully.
Zhou’s sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei also heard that Village Chief Zhou was talking about their girls, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.
Zhang Poluo and the Cheng brothers laughed unkindly.
When they got to the field, Brother Zhou really wanted to put his face in his crotch. Yueqing and Xiao Lele also went to the field without knowing when. The father and daughter actually packed several bags of millet, which was loaded into the threshing machine. There is also half a bucket of rice in the bucket.
Sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei didn’t know the people in the field were Yueqing and Leyun at first. When she walked to the ridge of the field, she realized it was Leyun. Then when she saw Yueqing, Zhou Chunmei showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost: " Mom, Mom, are Le Qing's legs... okay?"
Zhou Chunmei found Yue Qing's lame embarrassing and never called Yue Qing aunt. In private, she would just call her by her first name. He was so shocked that he blurted out the nickname "Le Laizi" that many people gave Yueqing.
Village Chief Zhou glared at Zhou Chunmei with great disgust, directly assuming that Zhou Chunmei did not exist, dogs could not change from eating shit, and people as rude as Zhou Chunmei could not be taught no matter what.
"Zhou Chunmei, you can't even call me aunt? Where are your politeness? Have the books of more than ten years been used as shit? My face has been completely embarrassed by you two." Brother Zhou heard that his girl It's okay not to call Yueqing "uncle", but to call him "lame", which makes his face red and thick-necked with anger.
"I..." Zhou Chunmei was stunned by the scolding and couldn't realize what she was wrong for a moment.
When Mrs. Zhou heard the girl’s cry, she also looked at the two people in the field. She recognized the other person as Yue Qing and opened her mouth in shock. Yue Qing’s leg... wasn’t lame anymore? !
"Old cousin, Chunmei was just too shocked for a moment. Don't get so angry. What if you scare the girl?" Sister-in-law Wu finally found the opportunity and hurriedly spoke to Zhou Chunmei.
"Shut your mouth!" Brother Zhou was furious: "Don't think I don't know that you and Zhang Jing are behind the scenes to instigate Liu Tong to bully my sister Zhou Qiufeng, and let Chunmei bully Xiao Le. Happy thing, I don’t settle accounts with you because I am a man and I don’t have the same experience as you, a woman. Also, it’s for the sake of Zhang Ke’s father and I don’t want Zhang Ke’s face to be ugly. Do you really think you are the only one who is smart? Would you use Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei as spearheads, thinking that I don’t know anything?
It’s true that Zhang Ke and I are relatives. You are relying on that relationship to come to my house and kick your nose in. You want to How can you feel at ease because you are causing discord between me and my sister? Let me tell you, my sister and I were born to the same mother. My sister and I are much closer than I am to the Zhang Ke family. If you think you don’t have enough time at home? You have to panic, you can give birth to a second child or a third child by yourself, and then you come to my house like a shit stirrer and cause discord in my family. Don’t blame me for not giving you a face and just slap you in the mouth."
"I ...When did it happen? How could someone as big as Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei believe what I say? It's their own business that they like to cause trouble for Zhou Qiufeng and Leyun. You can't blame me and accuse me unjustly. "Sister-in-law Wu was scolded by Brother Zhou and was so angry that her face turned green. She refused to admit that she was inciting Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei to make trouble for Zhou Qiufeng behind her back.
When Brother Zhou got angry, Sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei didn't dare to say a word and ran into the fields to work quickly, so as not to make Zhou Xialong angry.
Village Chief Zhou pretended that he had not heard what Brother Zhou said and refused to dissuade him. Wu Lingling was a bully who was afraid of the strong and bullied honest people in the village. Brother Zhou was also an honest person, but honest people also had tempers. , Dare to fight with others when provoked.
"Old cousin, women... just love gossiping. Your cousin-in-law has been angry these days and is not in a good mood. Don't be like her." Zhang Ke got angry when he saw his wife making Zhou Xialong angry. , I felt shameless and had to persuade Zhou Xialong. After all, it was a fact that his wife often made trouble for Yueqing and Leyun when she had nothing to do.
Brother Zhou glared at Sister-in-law Wu angrily and turned his head: "Brother Zhang Ke, I don't dare to trouble you and your wife with small things at home. It's so hot and I'm getting sunburned.I can't take the responsibility for your wife. You and your wife should go home and rest. I also wish you a second child as soon as possible and a big fat boy. "
After being chased away by Brother Zhou, Zhang Ke didn't have the shame to stay and help any more. He let out a muffled hum and stepped down the stairs: "You guys are all brothers, then we will go back. We are too busy to do anything." Call me. ”
“Hmm. "Brother Zhou nodded with a grin on his face, giving Zhang Ke a chance to step down.
Zhang Ke knew that staying any longer would be a show of excitement, so he pulled his wife away and left. This was the first time that Sister-in-law Wu was embarrassed by Zhou Xialong. , so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't make a fuss yet, so he turned around and left angrily: "Huh, I won't even come if you invite me here in the future. "
"Don't worry, even if my rice is rotting in the fields, I won't invite you. If my wife dares to invite you, I will divorce her immediately and let her live with you. "Brother Zhou was still angry and choked back.
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head to work without saying a word.
Zhou Chunmei did not dare to say a word to her father.
Cheng Youde, Liu Lu and others who were helping also pretended to be dumbfounded, pretending they didn’t know Brother Zhou and Sister Zhang Ke Wu had a falling out, and quickly found work.
Being beaten by Zhou Brother's words were like tearing her face apart. Sister-in-law Wu's face was so angry that she twisted her face. She cursed Zhou Xialong in her heart as a "short-lived devil" to calm down her anger. She walked out of Tian Jiang angrily and didn't even look back. Let’s go home.
When they finished leaving, Le Yun was filled with emotion: “Without a shit stirrer, the air is fragrant now. "
"It's just your nose that doesn't work. "Village Chief Zhou shook his head in a funny way. Xiao Lele was also so angry that he would not pay for his life. Zhang Ke's wife would probably faint when she heard what she said.
Zhang Poluo, Brother Zhou and a group of men burst out laughing. Pfft, she almost shouted "well said". Sister-in-law Liu smiled so hard that she supported her waist: "Xiao Lele, Sister-in-law Wu has been embarrassed in front of you this time. I guess she will take a detour next time I see you to avoid you." He brought up old things again and stepped on her feet. "
"If she doesn't act like a troublemaker, I won't bother to talk to her and Zhang Jing, so as not to waste my saliva. I heard that Zhang Jing has found a very rich boyfriend in the city, and she also said that she would let them go. We went on a trip together during the summer vacation, I don’t know if we went. Le Yun pretended to be casual and talked about Zhang Jing's "good luck." She said that her girl was very popular in school. Many rich and powerful boys were chasing Zhang Jing. Some of them were chasing Zhang Jing very hard. Zhang Jing agreed to have a date with one of them. I heard that the boy’s family was very rich. , the boy is very good at sports, and he also said that he will be a representative in some national college sports competition this year. "
"Oh, maybe Zhang Jing's boyfriend and I will become competitors. "Le Yun was happy. The gossip that Xiao Duzi found out said that Zhang Jing's boyfriend wasA student with special sports skills, if she really goes to participate in the National College Track and Field Games, she will represent Qingdao University in the competition. She and Zhang Jing's boyfriend are competitors, a team, not an individual.
"Hey, what kind of sports competition is Lele going to participate in?" Liu Lu, Cheng Youde and others were very curious.
"Yes, I not only have to participate in national college sports competitions, but also in the National Olympic Games. However, my registered residence is in the school and I will compete on behalf of the Capital Team. I will start the competition on the 15th. , the first game is in Qin Province."
"Lele, come on, our village has never produced a sports champion, you go and win a championship and come back and let us follow suit."< br />
“Lele, I’m optimistic about you.”
I heard that girls from Yueqing were going to participate in sports competitions. Village Chief Zhou and others were very happy. Meizijing Village has always been an unknown village. There has never been any earth-shattering figure in the village. If a celebrity can emerge, the whole village will benefit.
Zhou Chunmei was so jealous that she grinded her teeth. How come Le Yun is so good at sports? It didn't matter that she ranked first in the province in the exam, but now she is participating in the national college sports competition. She has taken all the good things by herself.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, Mrs. Zhou would laugh when others laughed.
After chatting for a few words, everyone had already moved the millet out of the field and bundled a lot of straw. Considering that there were enough people, one threshing machine could not supply enough, so we brought in another one. The threshing machine also uses two machines to thresh the grain at the same time. One part is responsible for the threshing work. Some people tie the straw and others load the millet. Brother Zhou and the village chief Zhou go to the pear field and spread fertilizer on the field.
Sister-in-law Wu was angry at Zhou's house and returned home angrily. Zhang Jing was blowing on the air-conditioning fan at home, eating iced melon and watching TV. When she saw her mother coming back, she raised her head and shouted: "Mom, Aren't you going to help Zhou's house in the afternoon?"
"You're not going," Sister-in-law Wu sat down angrily, gritting her teeth and scolding: "A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, I'm helping you. I think highly of you, and you think you are great."
"Mom, who made you so angry?"
"It's not that little bastard Leyun."< br />
"Didn't the Le family go to the county women's hospital to have a baby?"
"When I came back, Zhou Qiufeng gave birth to a son, and Le Yun's tail was raised to the sky, and she was so angry It kills me."
"Le Yun is not afraid of people snatching her property?" Zhang Jing was surprised to death. Le Yun was the most stingy. She refused to give in to anyone who took half of his family's land, but she could tolerate it. Zhou Qiufeng’s son?
"Who knows, anyway, she is very happy now, and Yueqing's leg is no longer lame. I heard that Leyun cured it. The Zhou family, the Liu family, the Cheng family, and Zhang Poluo regarded Leyun as a treasure.You want to fawn over Leyun vigorously, Xiaojing, you must live up to your expectations, find a rich and powerful boyfriend, buy a big house and a car in the city, live ten times a hundred times better than Leyun, and make them jealous. "
" Le Laizi's leg is healed? "Zhang Jing caught the key point and suspected that she heard it wrong.
"Yes, Le Cripple's leg has healed. When he was helping the Zhou family harvest rice, Zhou Chunmei called Yue Qing and "Le Cripple" was scolded by Zhou Xialong. After a while, please don’t go to Zhou’s house to look for Zhou Chunmei in the past few days, otherwise Zhou Xialong may take out his anger on you. "
Zhang Jing nodded: "Well, I understand. "
Her daughter was very obedient, and Sister-in-law Wu felt more comfortable, and asked again: "Didn't you say that Xu Wenxun wanted to take you on a trip, why haven't you said anything yet? "
"In a few days, he will travel to Qin Province and watch the youth team competition of the All-Olympic Games. He wants to observe the strength of the youth team. There are a lot of contestants. They all have to participate in the University Games. ”
“Oh. "Sister-in-law Wu is satisfied. Her girl is amazing. She can charm the rich and powerful second-generation people in the city. She helps her girl buy brand-name clothes and lipstick. It would be even better if she can help her buy a car and drive it back for a few laps. Okay, but it’s okay. I believe that we will have a car and a house soon.
She originally wanted to teach the girl how to control a man, but when she saw Zhang Ke came back, she kept a cold face and said nothing.
When Zhang Ke saw his daughter and wife at home, he didn’t care about his wife’s cold face and went to the refrigerator to get food with a smile. The calmer he became, the angrier Sister-in-law Wu became, so she just went to take a nap by herself.
Zhang Ke was not angry, drank ice water, sat for a while and went to pull weeds in the crop fields.
At the beginning of August, the village was almost full of double robbery, and there was no harvest of rice. There are also very few, and there are not many people working enthusiastically in the fields under the scorching sun.
The people in Zhou’s fields are good laborers, and the rice fields in Brother Zhou’s rice fields are ready before 4:30. All the rice was threshed. The men helped transport the millet back to Zhou's house, and the women pulled the seedlings. They took the time to transplant a lot of seedlings in the afternoon.
Le's father went home at five o'clock to help Zhou Qiufeng make chicken soup. Brother Zhou They waited until 6:30 to finish work. In the summer, it was still dark at 6:30 in the evening. During the busiest period, some people didn’t finish work until 7:00 when it got dark.
At night, the Le family’s father and daughter were still working. She didn't go to Brother Zhou's house for dinner, and Brother Zhou and Grandma Zhou didn't force it. Grandma Zhou waited until Zhou Xialong left for work and sent a duck and pig's feet to Yueqing, so she had the right to let them use them as food.
The two families separated. They are close together. The chickens and ducks usually go to each other's houses when playing. It is difficult to raise them well. Le's father is not prepared to raise them. When he goes home to help Zhou Qiufeng make chicken soup in the evening, he kills the ducks, cooks half of them in the evening, and chops out the duck's feet and wings. Put it alone and leave it to his little cotton-padded jacket to marinate and eat when he has time.
Brother Zhou was very dissatisfied with his wife and daughter who always got together with Wu’s sister-in-law Zhang Jing because of Sister-in-law Wu’s affairs. He didn’t even give a straight look. Sister-in-law Zhou Chunmei didn’t dare to complain and tried her best to avoid making Zhou Xialong angry. .
On the morning of the 5th, it didn’t take half a day to finish all the work in the Zhou family’s fields. A group of people rested in the field, drank steamed buns and water to replenish their strength, and then went to Zhang Poluo’s house. Tianli continued to sweat profusely.
The number of fields owned by Zhang Poluo’s family is about the same as that of Brother Zhou’s family, and it is expected to be completed in two days.
Because Zhang Poluo’s family’s rice was being harvested at the end, there were two villagers who got along well with Zhang Poluo and went to help after finishing the work themselves. The new manpower worked faster. After a group of people worked hard, Next, it actually didn’t take two days. I finished the work on the evening of the 6th. It was just a little late to finish the work and I didn’t go home until it got dark.
