Chapter 1783: Losing Face
Xiaotuanzi actually fell asleep. The beautiful boy couldn’t laugh or cry. He waited until the bus came and boarded the bus under the protection of Classmate Chen and Young Master Wanqi one after another.
There were no empty seats in the car, but someone saw a young man with an oriental face carrying someone on his back and offered up his seat.
The beautiful young man thanked the young man who gave up his seat, sat down with Xiao Tuanzi on his back, and bent forward to try to make Xiao Tuanzi sleep as comfortably as possible.
The bus does not go directly to the small street in front of the rented apartment, but only passes through the main street next to the small street of the apartment. When it reaches the stop, the three top students get off the bus, and Young Master Wanqi accompanies Chao, who is carrying his sister on his back. Instead of going home, classmate Chen goes to the mall to do shopping.
The beautiful young man carried his sister on his back and calmly returned to the apartment to send her to the guest room to sleep. He then cooked with the two top students. The little dumpling was still awake, so they kept a portion for them. write thesis.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when the three top students finished writing their papers. Little Loli hadn't woken up yet, so they went to rest.
Due to the time difference, while it was still midnight in Country Y, it was already the morning of November 15th in China.
The 15th is the weekend, and office workers have a day off.
Fu Chunping did not go out to set up a stall that day. She got up early in the morning, cleaned up, and took her daughter to take the early train to Jiudao Township.
Since her cousin took her to the Zhou family in Meicun to meet Zhou Xialong’s family and elders, Zhou Xialong has never contacted her.
Initially, her cousin and she both thought that the Zhou family might need to ask the Le family girl to explore the situation, which would take some time. But now, after so long, there is still no response from Zhou Xialong and the Zhou family.
After thinking about it, she felt that she needed to fight for it. If the mountain didn't come, she would go to her. If she went, she would go to the mountain.
She decided to go to Jiudao in person and asked Zhou Xialong to meet and have a meal.
Fu Chunping only brought a change of clothes for herself and her daughter, and two gifts. She took a bus to Jiudaoxiang Street and first went to her cousin's house in Jiudao's kindergarten.
Principal Fu has been busy recently and has not been home in the county on weekends. When his cousin came, he was still watching the craftsmen working in the garden area between the kindergarten and the elementary school. He received a call from his wife and went home. Meeting my cousin.
The cousin wanted to win over the Zhou family’s favor, and Principal Fu naturally supported it. However, he didn’t hold out much hope because he asked Village Chief Zhou and the village chief in a sideways manner. Zhou Papi inquired about the information, and everyone there answered him on the grounds that "young people should handle their own affairs."
The cousin came to Jiudao in person and wanted to have a meal with Zhou Xialong. Naturally, Director Fu didn’t throw cold water on her. The cousin wanted him to take her to Plum Village again, but he didn’t. decline.
Mrs. Fu didn't go to Plum Village last time, so naturally she couldn't miss it this time.
The four of them carried fruits and a carton of milk, wandered to Plum Village, and then visited Zhou Papi’s house.
On weekends, children in Meicun are either away from home or doing homework or reading in the village office library. Zhou Papi’s granddaughter, who is in high school, did not come back, and his grandson also went to the village library.
Zhou Papi went to the construction site to work part-time. Aunt Pa had nothing to do, so she stayed at home. Occasionally she would go to the second floor of the village office building to "inspect" to help look after the children and supervise them so that the children would not They quarreled and fought.
When Director Fu and his entourage arrived, Aunt Pa had just boiled a pot of water and filled the hot water shell, filled the water cups for the grandchildren and soaked the honeysuckle. When she saw Director Fu and others coming, , greeting guests to sit down.
The weather in Ebei is not particularly cold, but it is not warm either. In order to prevent the children from freezing, the Zhou family has used a kotatsu. If it gets cold at night, the children use an electric stove to keep them warm while they do their homework.
Aunt Pa invited the guests to sit at a square table with an electric stove, poured a glass of water for each person, and then brought some dried fruits.
Director Fu sat down, exchanged a few words with Aunt Pa, and then handed the court to his cousin.
Fu Chunping expressed her desire to have a meal with Zhou Xialong, Grandma Zhou, and Zhou’s elders, to show that she wanted to develop a relationship with Zhou Xialong.
"It's hard for you to go through this trip, so we won't eat this meal." After hearing this, Aunt Pa declined the Fu family's offer to have dinner, and directly stated: "I want to come to Director Fu." You haven't met my family member and my cousin, Village Chief Zhou, and you haven't asked about the situation. Regarding Miss Fu and my nephew, they are not close enough, and the Zhou family and the Fu family don't have the opportunity to be in-laws."< br />
Fu Chunping felt suffocated. The Zhou family rejected her?
"This..." Director Fu was also extremely embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, I'm making you laugh. We have never met Zhou Xialong, so we don't know much about the inside story." Seeing her husband's embarrassment, Mrs. Fu hurriedly smoothed things over: "My cousin is also the nephew of my sister-in-law. My nephew has never had a clear attitude, so I want to get to know each other."
"My nephew has never contacted Miss Fu, right?" Auntie Pa was not annoyed, and she said without mincing words: "I My nephew has never contacted the girl from the Fu family, just to show that there is no possibility. We are all adults, no one wants to lose face. If my nephew says it clearly, how can you ask your cousin to step down?
No contact, this It’s the easiest rejection to accept. This way you won’t hurt each other’s harmony, and you won’t be embarrassed if we meet somewhere in the future, right?”
Director Fu became even more embarrassed, Fu Chunping's face turned pale.
“Sister-in-law said it rightIt makes sense. My cousin is a bit resigned to death and has not turned around. Mrs. Fu was also quite embarrassed and had to find her way down the steps: "Sister-in-law, can we ask the reason?" After all, besides not being a big girl, my cousin really doesn’t have much to choose from. "
"My nephew said that the age is not appropriate," Aunt Pa was used to being straightforward and kept her straightforward style without any detours: "The woman is more than ten years younger than my nephew. He is only more than ten years older than my great-nephew, so he is neither above nor below this age, which is so embarrassing.
My nephew said that he was looking for a partner because he wanted to give his son a home, but he didn’t want to get married and make his son have a family and be unable to return, which would separate him and his son. "
"This..." Mrs. Fu was speechless. It was Zhou Xialong who didn't agree. How could others force him to do it?
She was embarrassed and silent for a few seconds. Seconds later, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought Miss Le had heard some rumors and had some opinions about my cousin. "
Mrs. Fu wanted to throw dirty water on Xiao Lele, but Aunt Pa's face suddenly turned dark: "What you said makes no sense, what does it have to do with Xiao Lele? Xiao Lele is a girl from the Lejia family. Your aunt and grandma from the Fu family want to talk to Zhou Xialong, not the father of the girl from the Lejia family. Xiaolele is not like some people who stretch their hands as far as they can and always meddle in things. Get involved in other people's affairs.
I thought you guys were easy to get along with, but Zhou Xialong didn’t agree to get along with the woman. I was quite sorry. Now I’m glad that it didn’t happen. You’re not a good person, Xiao Lele. It’s time to offend you. Just open your mouth and shut up and then put a shit basin on Xiao Lele’s head? ”
When his wife talked about the Lejia girl, Director Fu felt a sudden shock in his heart. When his auntie was teasing someone, his face turned red.
Especially Those last few words from Aunt Pa were like a slap in the face. Principal Fu felt that his face was burning with fever, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in.
Mrs. Fu was sprayed all over and was said to be evil-minded. Well, she was scolded for grabbing the shit basin, and her face turned the color of pig liver.
Fu Chunping was ashamed and ashamed, but she couldn't blame her cousin, let alone her aunt, after all. Aunt Pa was unhappy because of what her cousin-in-law said, and the cousin-in-law came here because of her business.
Director Fu felt that he shouldn’t have brought his wife to Plum Village. Zhou Xialong's aunt was angered, and the gain was not worth the loss.
Zhou Xialong's aunt had watched the girls from the Le family grow up, and the girls from the Le family also respected the elders of the Zhou family, which made Aunt Zhou angry. , how could she not talk to the girl from the Le family?
If the girl from the Le family knew that his wife was throwing dirty water, how could she not be angry?
Director Fu was anxious, After calming down, he hurriedly apologized: "Aunt Zhou, please sir, my wife didn't do it on purpose. WeThe Fu family really wants to marry Qin and Jin with the Zhou family, not to enmity. My wife also regrets that her cousin has missed a good match. She made a slip of the tongue. Auntie, please don't be the same as her. "
"The matter of the young people has been blown away. The Zhou family can't compete with your Fu family. Whether we get married or not is another matter. Principal Fu doesn't have to be afraid that I will complain to Xiao Lele. Xiao Lele withdrew the money to sponsor the school and so on. Xiao Lele is not a soft-hearted person, and I can't do the kind of immoral thing that ruins the future of children. People poke my spine from behind and scold me for dying. ”
Aunt Pa is smart, even smarter than Zhou Papi. Back then, Jiudao was remote and there were no shops on the streets. She took the opportunity to open the first canteen in the village, one of the few in Jiudao Township. There are many grocery stores, not to mention making a lot of money, but it has become the mainstay of supporting the family.
She is a good person, and naturally understands the reason why Director Fu is careful, and she is just afraid. She complained to Xiao Lele, huh, she wouldn't complain, and if she did, it would be a complaint.
Having seen through her thoughts, Principal Fu felt even more embarrassed and forced a smile: " Auntie, you are a grown-up and don’t care about us juniors. I’m overthinking it. Auntie, I’m sorry to disturb you. Let’s take our leave now. ”
It would be wrong to talk too much. Director Fu was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, his wife might say something to make it difficult for both parties to step down, so he quickly left with his wife and cousin.
Aunt Pa confiscated the gifts brought by the Fu family and asked them to take them back with the originals.
Director Fu took the things and left Zhou Papi’s house with his family, hurried out of the village and went directly Back to the dormitory of the kindergarten.
After returning home, the tense nerves of the three adults relaxed.
Principal Fu always complained that his wife could not speak, even if he suspected that she was You can't say anything the Lejia girl said. To say something wrong about the Lejia girl in front of the Zhou family who love the Lejia girl is not asking for trouble.
Mrs. Fu felt aggrieved, and You can't argue with a man, you'll get scolded in vain.
Being rejected, Fu Chunping felt bad. She went to Plum Village and lost her face. There was nowhere to stay, not even lunch. I didn't have anything to eat, and I didn't want to stay in Jiudao any longer. I took my daughter to the street and took a taxi to Shangzhuang Township. Then I took a bus to Fang County. I got off the bus on the way and took a bus from Shennong Mountain to Shishi and back to Shishi.
Aunt Pa sent Director Fu and his friends away, and did whatever they had to do. She waited until noon to call Zhou Xialong, told him about Director Fu’s visit to the house, and urged him to tell him that he was talking about it. Take your partner home to meet the elders, and make a decision as soon as he is suitable, so as not to let the cats and dogs worry about his fat piece.
