Chapter 88 Happiness
Brother Zhou, Sister Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng finished work at the same time. After returning home, Sister Zhou went to take a shower first. Brother Zhou washed his face and went down to the living room to eat watermelon. Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming were also there. play cell phone.
Zhou Chunmei is nineteen years old on the first lunar month, and she is twenty years old. She studied in the city and opened her eyes to keep up with the fashion. She wears black silk stockings and a red short skirt, as gorgeous as a torch. Walking on the street, you can never tell whether you are a city kid or a country kid.
Zhou Tianming is also fifteen years old. He is one year and one month older than Le Yun in the third month of the lunar calendar. He is quite tall, over 1.7 meters tall.
The two siblings had a mobile phone each and had a great time playing together.
Her son and daughter-in-law helped others with the work. Grandma Zhou fed the chickens, ducks and newly bought piglets at home, and cooked for the two children.
The old man was selecting pumpkin seedlings in the wing when he heard the clear and melodious shout of "Grandma Zhou, Grandma Zhou, are you at home?", he hurriedly put away the melon seedlings and responded while leaving the wing. .
Brother Zhou also heard the sound and knew it was Lele coming. He stood up and gnawed the watermelon and walked out of the next building.
Zhou Chunmei, who was playing with her mobile phone, suddenly tightened her face and turned gloomy. She stood up angrily and followed her father.
"Lele, you are finally home. I almost thought you were going to be a god in the mountains." Grandma Zhou walked out of the wing and saw the Lele girl smiling with a red food bag. Entering the house, smile lines appeared on his old face.
“I would like to be a god in the mountains, but I can’t let go of my family, Grandma Zhou and everyone, so I come back and become a commoner again.”
Le Yun stepped into Zhou's house and saw Grandma Zhou sticking her head out of the wing and running forward: "Grandma Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have a rosy face, you are as light as a swallow, and you look several years younger." La."
"You are the only one who can coax people. Half of my body is buried in the ground. I am so dark and young. How can I go there? Look at the things you are carrying. Is it because you haven't come back for too long? Your father scolded you, and you wanted to bribe me with something to ask me to help you out?"
"No, dad couldn't bear to scold me. Besides, my dad wanted to scold me, and there is a new guy like Aunt Feng. Mom, please save me. If Dad really wants to beat me, you can’t save me from afar. By the time you run over, I’ll have been spanked to death.”
“… ..." Brother Zhou just walked through the patio from the lower building and stepped onto the upper room. Hearing Xiao Lele's words, he immediately stopped. Xiao Lele is very happy, right?
"Lele, your Aunt Feng broke the evidence with your father before you came back. Don't you blame them?" Grandma Zhou was a little worried. Her son came back and said that Lele was back. She I feel happy againI'm worried, I don't know what Lele will think when she sees Xiaofeng, and she's a little uneasy at the moment.
"It's not strange, I have wanted a new mother for a long time, and Aunt Feng became my new mother. Before I could be happy, I just had a little regret. Dad and the new mother I was not present at the wedding and did not take a family photo together as a commemoration. What a big loss. Grandma Zhou, Lele, I feel aggrieved. Do you have anything to eat to comfort me? Uncle Zhou, Sister Chunmei, you are back from vacation. ."
Le Yun ran to Grandma Zhou, heard the footsteps, looked over, saw Zhou Xialong and Zhou Chunmei, and showed a big smile.
"Lele is back, did you have fun on the mountain?" Brother Zhou saw Lele looking at him with a friendly smile.
Zhou Chunmei turned her head "hum", unwilling to pay attention to Leyun, but looked at her grandma and Leyun from the corner of her eyes, and saw that Leyun's T-shirt was bulging out due to her breasts, and her face became even more gloomy. Not to mention being impoverished, the Le family lived a tight life without any nutritional supplements. Logically speaking, Le Yun should have a sallow complexion and thin skin, but the reality is exactly the opposite. Except when he was very young, the guy was skinny. She has grown up at the age of 10, and her skin is white, tender, and clean, making people jealous.
“I had a lot of fun.” Le Yun answered truthfully.
“Don’t stand and talk, sit down.” Without saying a word, Grandma Zhou took the person to the room to sit.
Brother Zhou immediately hurried up the room to open the refrigerator, took out the iced watermelon, cut two pieces, and gave it to his old mother and Xiao Lele.
Le Yun did not refuse, followed Grandma Zhou to the upper room and sat on a bamboo chair. She put the things she brought on the table and placed them specifically in front of the old man: "Grandma Zhou, I picked them up on the way back. Bring some fungi and give them to Duo to try."
Brother Zhou knew what kind of fungi they were, so he sat down and gave the watermelon to the two of them.
Zhou Chunmei had a gloomy face and sat down by herself. Seeing that her father and grandma were so kind to Le Yun, she felt depressed and did not dare to vent her anger. She felt very aggrieved.
Grandma Zhou also knew that what Lele sent must not be ordinary fungi. She opened the bag and saw a tender turkey fungus. She immediately blamed: "I picked up the tail of a fire phoenix last time. The fungus was boiled for your Aunt and I to eat. I managed to pick up some this time and sent it over again. You can take it back and sell it on the street tomorrow to save some money for college."
"This time I picked up several flowers, not planning to sell them. When I came back, I washed a few and dried them upstairs, then took them to the capital. I ate the rest. I would eat happily so that I would have the strength to cut crops tomorrow. Grandma Zhou kept them and ate them. After a few days, I will go into the mountains when I have free time. Anyway, July and August are the seasons with the most fungi. If you run around, you will get something."
"You, you are always so generous. I really can't do anything about you. "When Grandma Zhou heard what the child said, she didn't give in. She took the bag closer and took a closer look. Except for the turkey tail fungi,, as well as pumpkin mushrooms and chicken foot fungi, a big bag full.
Le Yun smiled as she nibbled on the watermelon. She originally thought Zhou Chunmei would choke her, but until she said she wanted to go home, Zhou Chunmei just glared at her and said nothing.
Zhou Chunmei really wanted to make Leyun unhappy, but she didn’t dare. She was not afraid of others at home, but of her father. If she dared to lose her temper in front of her father, she would definitely be scolded. Her living expenses might be reduced in the future in order to have a comfortable life in school, so no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to sneer at Le Yun.
"Xiaofeng has hope in life. Even if I die immediately, I can still close my eyes." After seeing Xiao Lele out of the house, Grandma Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mom, what do you say about immortality? How unhappy is it? Xiao Lele is a good person. Xiaofeng will not be disliked in the Le family. Xiaofeng finally has a good home. You You should be happy." Brother Zhou was afraid that my mother would cry, so he tried to comfort her.
Grandma was partial to her aunt and Le Yun, and Zhou Chunmei was very dissatisfied. She muttered in a low voice: "My aunt has married into the Le family. Shouldn't Le Yun change her name to grandma and grandma? She also calls grandma Grandma Zhou." , call dad Uncle Zhou, why do I feel that the Le family doesn’t treat us as family at all."
"You know nothing!" Brother Zhou wanted to slap his girl away, but Zhang's face was gloomy: "Lele has called your aunt Aunt Feng for many years, out of respect from the bottom of his heart. You have called your aunt aunt, aunt for many years without any sincerity. When did you call your aunt affectionately except when asking for money? Aunt, when have you ever really cared about your aunt? If I hear your nonsense again, you don’t have to go to school and support yourself, or ask your mother to find a way to make money for you to spend."
"I..." Zhou Chunmei wanted to defend herself, but when she saw her father's dark face, she lowered her head in aggrievedness.
“I just went to the city to study for a year, and then I forgot about my studies. When I got home, I painted my nails and wore high heels. Do you think you are a rich lady? You want a million dollars every month? The living expenses of 1,500 yuan are all used for food, clothing and clothing. From next semester, the living expenses of 1,000 yuan a month will be given to you. Who dares to give you more? Don’t ask me for tuition or living expenses again. Whoever has money for you to eat, drink and have fun will be paid. Go, I can’t afford it.”
Brother Zhou saw that his girl’s eyelashes were glued to her eyelashes, and her feet were wearing high heels that were more than eight centimeters tall. Her feet and fingernails were painted red, and her lips were also painted red. Yes, she was demonic, like the sisters from the county hair salon. She was so angry that she left a few words angrily, turned around and went to the next room.
"I... ugh..." Zhou Chunmei was scolded so much that she didn't even dare to retaliate, let alone fight for her own living expenses. She felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes.
If Grandma Zhou didn’t persuade her, she couldn’t do it. If she did, she would be responsible for her granddaughter’s living expenses and tuition fees. How could she have the money to support her? Therefore,The old man took a bag of mushrooms and went to the kitchen to make something to eat.
Zhou Chunmei wanted to cry but did not dare to cry. After standing for a while, she wiped the corners of her eyes and fetched water to wash her face. When she returned to the living room of the building below, she saw her mother coming out of the shower and did not dare to complain. , just looked at her mother aggrievedly, hoping that her mother could protect her.
When Sister-in-law Zhou heard Brother Zhou’s roar, she didn’t dare to say a word when she saw her daughter’s eyes were red. She didn’t dare to challenge her husband at all now. Zhou Xiayou made it clear that if she continued to make such a fuss No matter what, if Zhou Xialong divorces her, she will have no hope for the rest of her life.
In her natal family, it is okay to stay for a few days when visiting relatives. If she gets divorced and returns to her natal family, she will definitely not be able to stay there for a long time. Her sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is nice to her because she does not have to rely on her. Once you have to rely on your natal family for a long time to live your life, it will be hard to say.
Sister-in-law Zhou was afraid that she would also become a divorcee, so she naturally did not dare to fall out with her husband. She learned to act based on her husband's expression. She pretended not to see her daughter's pitiful appearance and carried the clothes to wash herself.
When classmate Le returned home, Zhou Qiufeng also took a bath, threw away her clothes, mixed the salt water, caught a chicken and was slaughtering it. She killed the chicken neatly, threw the basin away, and boiled the water. She went to the water press to pluck the hair and let Dad sit and pluck it while she was busy feeding the pigs, chickens and ducks.
Le’s dad was plucking chicken feathers, and when he saw the little cotton-padded jacket approaching, he asked in a low voice: “Lele, did Chunmei make you angry?”
“No. . Although it seemed that Sister Chunmei was very displeased with me, she was probably afraid of Uncle Zhou and didn’t dare to spit fire at me, so I didn’t quarrel with her.” From now on, for your Auntie’s sake, try to let her go as little as possible. You can make noises, but try not to do anything, so that Grandma Zhou and your Auntie will not be in trouble."
"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket is not A beating machine won't do anything randomly. As long as she doesn't go too far, I won't bother to waste my fists."
"That's right, Lele's little cotton-padded jacket is the most reasonable."
"Of course, you don't even know whose child your little cotton-padded jacket is..."
The father and son said something to each other, and they were talking happily. Sister-in-law Liu drove up. When harvesting the grain, she saw the Le family father and daughter and said hello to carry the grain to the car. Without asking, she knew that it was Xiao Lele who helped her collect the grain and put it into bags. Xiao Lele was at home, so who was drying things at her house? , she will help collect when it rains, and she will help collect in the evening. She is diligent at a young age and is a considerate and good girl.
Zhou Qiufeng took the corn to feed the chickens and ducks, fed the pigs, and came out to wash her hands. When she saw Sister-in-law Liu, she smiled and said hello.
"Qiufeng, are you helping Lele's family feed the pigs?" Seeing Zhou Qiufeng's hand still stained with pig food stains, Sister-in-law Liu looked confused. The Lele family's father and daughter were at home, and Zhou Qiufeng Why return it?Helping at Lejia?
"Uh..." Dad Le almost choked on his saliva when he heard that sentence.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Feng is not helping my family feed the pigs, Aunt Feng is doing housework for her own family." Le Yun couldn't help laughing, and she smiled so much that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.
“My own family?” Sister-in-law Liu’s mind has not yet turned around. Isn’t Zhou Qiufeng’s home the Zhou family?
"Sister-in-law Liu, I... got a marriage certificate with Yueqing some time ago. Yueqing and I live together. I am now the daughter-in-law of Lejia, and Lejia is naturally my own home."
"You... are married to Yueqing?" Zhou Qiufeng married Yueqing. Is this... um, possible? Sister-in-law Liu felt that her head was a little short-circuited and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
Aunt Liu’s reaction also made Le Yun laugh until her stomach cramped. This reaction was so right!
To be honest, if she hadn’t already wanted Aunt Feng to be a new mother and was mentally prepared, she would have been frightened if she found out that her father and Aunt Feng were getting married without her family. stay.
It’s so fun to be scary or something.
Le Yun felt that within a few days, people in the village would know about the marriage between Dad and Aunt Feng, which would frighten many people’s eyes.
"Yes, I got the certificate at the beginning of the month, two days before June 6th. My sister-in-law comes over when she has time. If she invites me to do something, just come to Lejia to find me." Zhou Qiufeng said cheerfully. She admitted the fact that she had remarried. Someone saw her at Lejia a few days ago, and they thought she was doing things for Lejia. No one asked her, so she didn't bother to explain.
"Hey!" Sister-in-law Liu responded, climbed into the car, and wanted to leave, then asked again: "Qiufeng Yueqing, are you really married?"
"Yes, don't you believe it? There is a happy word on the door."
Sister-in-law Liu really looked at the door of Le's family. There was a big red happy word on the door. She came When she was drying her hair, she thought it was because Lele was admitted to Qingda University, so she posted a happy message. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a happy event for Qiufeng and Yueqing. She drove home suddenly and even forgot to urge Zhou Qiufeng to go over for dinner. She was still a little tired when she got home. Dizzy.
Zhou Qiufeng and Leba were not affected. They processed the chicken feathers, disemboweled them, processed the internal organs, and cleaned them. Zhou Qiufeng took them home and chopped them into pieces, cooked them in a pot, and then went to the refrigerator to find the pork. Cut and set aside.
The Le family is still cooking, and the Cheng family is having dinner.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ke and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Ge spontaneously went to Cheng Youde’s house for dinner. They sat at a full table and ate while talking about why Zhou Qiufeng hadn’t arrived. Sister-in-law Liu glanced at Zhou Xialong. The expression was extremely strange: "Qiufeng wanted to have dinner with her husband and the girl, so she didn't come over."
Sister-in-law Zhou lowered her head, and Brother Zhou smiled but did not answer.
"Husband Zhou Qiufeng? Isn't she divorced? Where did the husband and the girl come from?" Sister-in-law Wu's eyes widened in surprise. Zhou Qiufeng's ex-husband Li Xiaodong had a son, but that child was born to another woman. Liu My sister-in-law said who is Zhou Qiufeng’s husband? Who is the girl?
Not to mention Sister-in-law Wu is strange, even Father Cheng is confused.
“You can remarry after divorce.” Sister-in-law Liu looked at Sister-in-law Wu meaningfully.
"Xiao Liu, are you kidding?" Father Cheng looked at his daughter-in-law strangely, and then at the Zhou couple. Zhou Xialong didn't object, it seemed like it was true.
“How dare I joke about such a thing.”
“Then, who is Qiu Feng’s current man?”
“You guys The one I know is the one diagonally across from the Zhou family."
"Diagonally across from the Zhou family... Yueqing?" Cheng Youde reacted the fastest, matching the characters: "You said Qiufeng married Yueqing? ”
Sister-in-law Wu’s face suddenly turned black and then white, changing back and forth, which was particularly exciting.
"You guessed it right, it's not Yueqing. I only found out when I went to harvest the grain just now. Qiufeng and Yueqing went to get their marriage certificate on the fourth day of June. If you don't believe me, ask Zhou Xialong."< br />
"It's true, my sister is living together with Yueqing."
"Oh, that's it. No wonder I saw Qiufeng at Lejia several times. I I thought Yueqing was not at home, so I asked Qiufeng to help feed the piglets, but it turned out that she was married."
"Who guaranteed the matchmaker..."
"The scene was instant. Get lively.
Sister-in-law Wu’s face changed countless times, her eyes were a little dark, and she did not join in the discussion.
Zhou Qiufeng didn’t know that she had become the talk of the Cheng family table. She was busy cooking, stir-frying two meat dishes. The chicken was the base of the hot pot, mushrooms, pumpkin sprouts and flowers, green onions and cabbage. Side dishes.
That night was the first time a family of three got together. The food was on the table. Two adults and one child started to eat. The two adults sandwiched the child between them. Before eating, Zhou Qiufeng first put a large chicken drumstick for the child. This is a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket that she picked up for free. She must add nutrition to the child and make it fat and fat, making others jealous.
As the wife followed her husband, Lele’s dad also put a chicken leg in his little cotton-padded jacket and told him seriously: “Lele, you are too thin, you have to eat more.”
< br />There were two large chicken drumsticks piled in the bowl in front of her, filling the entire bowl. Le Yun looked blank: "Dad, new mother, I am fourteen years old, not four years old, fourteen years old is a child." You don’t have to eat chicken drumsticks anymore.”
“You’re only fourteenYou are still young, so eat quickly. There are also chicken gizzards that you like to eat, and you should also drink more chicken soup. The soup is nutritious. "Zhou Qiufeng picked out the chicken gizzards and gave them to Xiao Lele and helped her fill a bowl of soup.
" "Yes." "With her father sitting on one side and the new mother on the other, a complete home, Le Yun was surrounded by happiness, and as she expected, she gnawed on the chicken legs in her bowl.
A new couple saw their children eating De Huan, the happiness in her heart almost overflowed, they were just such a precious baby, the child was better than anything else.
Le Yun also experienced firsthand the happiness of having a complete family, that kind of happiness The smell of home fills the air, and is so rich in my heart, as thick as the green color of the mountains in summer, almost flowing out. That smell lingers around me, and I feel that my breath is fragrant. That preciousness The happiness of happiness can only be experienced by those who have experienced or lost it. People who are soaked in happiness are used to it and just take it as a matter of course.
The greatest happiness in life is that the elders are healthy and have A significant other who loves him, a child who is an angel, and a few close friends, this is what the Le family is like now.
