Chapter 29 I want a mother

Zhou Qiufeng didn’t take Sister-in-law Wu’s words to heart. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time she heard the words “gun and stick”, so she couldn’t care less. She drove the car around and around. After turning around for a while, we finally arrived at Le and Zhou's house.

There is a small alley between the Le family and the Zhou family. Zhou Qiufeng parked the car in front of the Le family house to facilitate Le Yun to carry her luggage.

The majority of people in Meizijing Village have the surnames Zhou, Zhang, and Liu. Like the Le family, not only is this family unique in the village, but it is also the only family in the entire township and county, with no other names.

The Le family are immigrants. Le Yun’s great-grandfather used to be a barefoot doctor. Before liberation, he moved to Meicun, bought land and property in the village, and settled down. Le Yun’s grandfather inherited his father’s ambition and was also a barefoot doctor. .

The Le family lived quite well in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In the late 1990s, they built a bungalow with two floors. The first floor was more than 100 square meters, with three large rooms in a row, and another partition in the middle. It is divided into two rooms, with a total of six large and small rooms. The middle one is what the country people call the main hall. Half of the inner room at the back is used as a stairwell and half as a kitchen. The two large rooms on the left and right of the main hall are also divided into two inner and outer rooms, which can be used as rooms. The design also follows the old rules and is similar to the Nine Palaces and Bagua type arrangement.

In the bungalows in the 1990s, the toilets were built outside the house, and the same was true for Lejia's. There were also pig, cattle and sheep sheds and toilets behind the bungalows.

The Lejiajia homestead is not narrow. There is a garden behind the house. A cement area is filled in front of the house for parking and sunbathing. There is also a garden in front of it. It used to belong to someone else. In the early 1990s, the gardener gave it to the owner. When the children were studying, they were short of money and sold the land, so the Le family bought it. Later, the Le family went through many changes. For a period of time, they were extremely short of money and were reluctant to sell the land in front of and behind the house.

Le’s father was waiting for his child at home. When he saw Zhou Qiufeng’s electric tricycle, he was walking on crutches, one foot high and one foot low. She smiled broadly: "Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, may you have a healthy Dragon Boat Festival."

"Dad, may you have a healthy Dragon Boat Festival." Leyun jumped out of the car and saw her father asking for help with the luggage, so she hugged her Trolley suitcase: "Dad, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Zhou Qiufeng stopped the car and helped little Lele move her things. She quickly stuffed the bucket of washing supplies to Lele's father: " Brother Le, just help Lele carry this."

Le's father couldn't resist, so he carried the lightest piece of luggage, one foot high and one foot low, back to the main room.

Zhou Qiufeng was very strong and could easily carry a big woven bag and deliver the things to the main room of the Le family. She refused Xiao Lele's plea to let her sit for a while and went home on her own.

The Zhou family is on the side of the road, slightly behind, probably opposite the plot of land in the backyard of the Le family. When Zhou Qiufeng returns home, the family will wait for her to come back for dinner.

The Zhou family has a son and a daughter. Zhou’s brother Zhou Xialong is a few months older than Le’s father.He is forty-two years old. He and Le's father can be said to have grown up wearing crotchless pants. He got married a little early, as soon as he reached the legal age. He became a father at twenty-three. The eldest is a daughter. Now he is Shishi went to health school. Her youngest son was one year older than Leyun. He was in the third grade of junior high school and was about to take the high school entrance examination. He was at home on vacation due to the college entrance examination.

Zhou Qiufeng is now thirty-nine years old. She divorced and has lived with her parents for seven or eight years. She takes care of her parents and helps with household chores. She sent her father away last year. Now the only elderly person in the Zhou family is Grandma Zhou. .

When Zhou Qiufeng returned home, the family had a lively meal.

After sending Aunt Feng away, Le Yun left her things behind and went to the kitchen to take a look. She also went to the room on the right where rice and other things were stored. She saw a bunch of rice dumplings hanging on a bamboo pole. When she came out, she saw the old man. Dad, winked and snickered at his father.

"Lele, what are you laughing at?" Lele's father is preparing to serve the meal. The workshop is also on holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival. He prepares all morning, cooks the dishes, and waits for the little cotton-padded jacket to come back for the festival.

“Dad, who made the rice dumplings?” Le Yun quickly stopped her sly smile, looking like a curious baby.

"I took the rice and asked your Aunt Feng's family to help me make it." His little cotton-padded jacket asked knowingly. It had been like this every year. As a grown man, he couldn't make rice dumplings, so he could only ask the Zhou family for help. .

"My Aunt Feng is your sister Feng." Le Yun stuck out her tongue and ran away.

When the child is naughty, Le’s father stares helplessly.

In order to eliminate the pressure caused by the college entrance examination and give his daughter a supplement, Dad Le slaughtered a native chicken, stewed mushrooms, bought meat, cooked two side dishes, and made two meat dishes. white.

This Dragon Boat Festival is very rich. In previous years, in order to save money, it would be good to have a meat dish during the holidays.

Even though his income is not high and his life is poor, Le’s father still tries his best to give his children the best. He also buys a carton of milk for his daughter and opens a carton for her to drink.

Le Yun got the chopped chicken drumsticks brought by her father. She stared and was speechless for a while. She was fourteen years old and was no longer a child. She was still eating drumsticks!

If the protest is ineffective, eat.

Seeing his daughter eating deliciously, Le’s father was also very happy. As he was eating, he suddenly heard his daughter’s crisp voice: “Dad, do you still want that woman?”< br />
Huh?

Dad Le stared blankly at his daughter, his heart sore and swollen. His caring little cotton-padded jacket suffered too many grievances when she was a child. After she became wise, she could say anything, but she refused to call her her mother. Mom was always referred to as that woman. When he thought of his child's biological mother, his heart felt like an overturned five-flavor bottle. He couldn't tell what it felt like.

He did not dare to look directly at the child and turned away: "Silly Lele, youWhat are you talking about? There is nothing possible between me and... your mother... anymore. I am content with you, this caring little cotton-padded jacket. "

"Dad, do you still have that woman in your heart? "Leyun was not satisfied with her father's answer, so she decided to get to the bottom of the matter this time and find out her father's truth.

"Yes, and no. "Dad Le looked at his daughter's pure eyes and couldn't tell a lie. Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, he sighed and explained: "I said yes, because I still remember that time in the past, and I don't regret it. After all, there was She is the only one who has you; say no, because your mother is like a thorn, pricking me, the thorn is pulled out, the wound is still there, even if she looks back, it is impossible for me and her to be together again, some things It has become the past and there is no going back. ”

Le’s dad is also a cultured person. Likewise, he is also a person who can take things and let things go. He used to really like the child’s mother, and he liked her enough to help her out at all costs. , he likes it so much that he is not afraid even if he fights with others, and because of this, he has changed from a good young man to a disabled person.

Do you hate it?

He probably complained about it , and because he and she had a child, love and hate disappeared from then on. However, no matter what, the harm the child's mother caused to him, the child and his parents will never be forgotten in his life.

Le Yun Blinking again, this should be her father’s sincere words. He no longer wanted to get back together with that woman, which made her feel relieved. She hugged her father’s arm happily: “Dad, find me a new mother. Well, I want a mother. ”
