Chapter 54 Is there someone suitable to marry?
The clouds in the west are as hot as flames. The sun only has a ray of sunset shining on the top of the mountain. The cattle and sheep are put in the pen, the chickens and ducks are put in the coop, and the smoke from the countryside is curling up. .
Le’s father came home from the electric donkey and smelled the fragrance. He limped into the house and saw his girl sticking her head out from the kitchen with a bright smile. His heart was broken. After softening, the little cotton-padded jacket is fine at home, and there will be food to eat when we come back.
Le Yun winked at her father, with a sly smile on her face: "Dad, we have guests tonight."
"Who is it?" Le's father asked casually.
"Dad, you might want to call your mother-in-law mother-in-law and your sister-in-law." Le Yun stuck out her tongue, smiling and saying things that were not surprising.
Dad Le’s face instantly turned red, burning hot. He wanted to find the courage to discipline the girl, but when he saw the child’s happy smiling face, he gave up.
"Lele, don't talk nonsense. If the walls have ears, it will ruin other people's reputation."
"I didn't talk nonsense, that's how it is, Zhou Grandma and Aunt Feng helped us with the work today. The sweet potatoes in the fields in front of the house and behind the village are all finished, and the garden behind the house is almost ready."
"This... how good is this? It's hard work for them." Le's father stuttered when he spoke.
"Dad, you, Sister Feng, came here on your own initiative. Don't let down other people's kindness." Le Yun saw her father's face blushing slightly, resisting the urge to burst into laughter, and quickly turned around. Cooking.
Dad Le was so embarrassed that his old face had a fever, and he felt terribly hot. He quickly took a towel and went outside to wash his face with cold water to cool down.
As soon as he washed his face, the Zhou family's mother and daughter came over. They didn't pretend to ask the Le family to go to the Le family to invite them again. After taking a bath, they went to the Le family to have dinner.
"Yueqing, are you back?" When Grandma Zhou saw Le's father, a smile appeared on her old face, which was particularly cordial.
"Aunt Zhou, thank you for your hard work again." Dad Le saw Zhou Qiufeng glance at him, and his old face became hot again.
“What you say about hard work or not is mostly external.” Grandma Zhou stepped into Lejia meaningfully.
Dad Le felt guilty, and his face became even hotter.
Zhou Qiufeng felt awkward, glanced at Le's father, entered Le's house, took the initiative to help set the table, and then went to the kitchen to see if she wanted to help, but Le Yun kicked her away.
Le Yun cooked some vegetables, poured the cured pork ribs out of the pot, put them in a large soup bowl, and took them out on a tea tray. The three adults happily rushed to get the bowls and chopsticks. Grandma Zhou had some wine, and the others had tea instead of wine.
People in the past said that as long as you are happy, even drinking water will be sweet. Zhou Qiufeng drank tea.She felt very sweet in her heart. She felt relaxed at Lejia, but facing her sister-in-law's face at home, she always felt depressed for no reason.
When the Le family was having dinner, Sister-in-law Zhou was still cooking. She only fried one green bean and didn't take it out. She used the kitchen wing between the upper and lower rooms to call Brother Zhou to have dinner.
Brother Zhou entered the wing and didn’t see my mother and sister. He immediately shouted to the upper room: “Mom, Xiaofeng, it’s time to eat.”
“What are you shouting for?” Sister-in-law Zhou He glared at her angrily: "They helped Lejia work today and went to Lejia to eat delicacies. You don't need to care about them."
"Why do you speak so strangely?"
"Why am I talking wrong? I don't see my mother doing any of my own work, and the same goes for your sister. I don't see her being so diligent in her own work. When it's her turn to go to Lejia, she runs faster than anything else. I really don't know where she is. This is her home."
"Liu Tong, don't make others want to tear you apart." Brother Zhou had a vague expression of anger on his face: "Who does all the big and small work at home? How much? Look at your hands, and then speak with your conscience."
"I..." When her husband called her by her first and last name, Sister-in-law Zhou immediately withered. She understood her husband. He has a bad temper and is usually easy to talk to, but when he gets angry he is very scary.
Sister-in-law Zhou’s natal family is in a neighboring county. After her son took the high school entrance examination, he went back to his grandmother’s house to play with his cousin. Grandma Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng were not at home either. The young couple was vomiting and no one came to calm them down. The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Grandma Zhou was in a good mood. When she came home, she swayed and improvised with her left voice "Red plum blossoms bloom on the red rocks, thousands of miles of frost underfoot..."
"Mom, stay still!" Zhou Qiufeng supported my mother and used the flashlight with one hand. She was very speechless. If she hadn't been with my mother all day, she would have suspected that she picked up money today or was excited. agent.
"I'm not drunk, I'm stable." With the girl's support, Grandma Zhou, whose face was red, walked vigorously and sang cheerfully.
Zhou Qiufeng simply refused to persuade her. If my mother likes to sing, let her sing. Anyway, in the countryside, it is not like in the city where people often report her for disturbing the people.
When Brother Zhou heard my mother’s voice, he got up and went up to the house to turn on the lights and open the door. Sister-in-law Zhou was afraid that her husband would say she didn’t care about the old man, so she also went to pick up her mother-in-law.
"What happy event happened? Mom is so happy today." When my mother and sister came back, Brother Zhou gave my mother a hand.
"Hahaha, it's Xiao Lele. Xiao Lele keeps putting vegetables in my bowl all night. She is so filial and sensible. If I had such a granddaughter, she would wake up laughing even in her sleep and dreams."
"Mom, Leyun is really as good as you said. Someone has long wanted to be a stepmother, and Yueqing will not do it now.You are a bachelor, and you also have a granddaughter. It sounds like Chunmei is not filial to you. "The mother-in-law was full of praise for the Le family children, which made Sister-in-law Zhou who was holding her breath unhappy, and immediately retorted.
"Liu Tong, Chunmei was spoiled by you every day until she was fourteen years old. She refuses to get up in the morning without asking for help, and often has to be coaxed by her mother and Xiaofeng before she wants to eat. She passed the medical school exam and was given 5,000 pocket money by Xiaofeng. Now in a month, besides asking for money, she takes the initiative to call when. Go home and ask grandma and her aunt how they are. Are you sure Chunmei can compete with Lele? ”
It’s okay not to mention my daughter, but Brother Zhou gets very angry when he mentions it. The living expenses for other girls studying in college are up to 800 yuan per month, but his girl’s 1,200 yuan per month is still too little.
"I..." Sister-in-law Zhou was choked again and couldn't say a word.
"Hey, Qiufeng, I'm old. I will find a suitable family for you. It's better to get married, don't delay it any longer. "Grandma Zhou didn't even look at her daughter-in-law, and walked past Liu Tong.
Zhou Qiufeng didn't want to get involved in the war between her brother and sister-in-law, so she helped her back to the room without saying anything.
Zhou The sister-in-law's heart beat violently. The mother-in-law was blaming her for disliking her sister-in-law!
Brother Zhou also said something at the time. When he returned to the living room below and saw his wife following behind, he became very angry. : "Xiaofeng took out the money to build a house and sent her two children to school. Now that you have squeezed her out of the money, you want to drive them away, right? Don't you just keep saying how your natal brother and sister-in-law are doing? You should just go back to your natal family. "
After roaring, he ignored his wife, slammed the door, shut her out of the bedroom, and fell asleep.
"I... "Does Zhou Xialong mean to divorce her?
Sister-in-law Zhou was stunned and stood there for a long time, sleeping in the empty guest room. She was relieved when Brother Zhou didn't mention the divorce the next day. She also restrained herself a lot because she was afraid that what she said would be overheard by Brother Zhou and hurt her.
