Zhou Qiufeng did not take Sister-in-law Wu's words to heart. Anyway, it was not the first time she heard the words "clamping a gun and clamping a stick." She didn't care. She drove the car through twists and turns, and 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 make it easier for Le Yun to carry her luggage.
In Meizijing Village, most people have the surnames Zhou, Zhang and Liu. Like the Lejia 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. Grandpa Le Yun inherited his father’s ambition and was also a barefoot doctor.
The Le family lived a relatively comfortable life in the 1970s. 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 two rooms in the middle. , there are six rooms in total. The middle one is what 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 rooms inside and outside, which can be used as rooms. This design is also Follow the old rules and use an arrangement similar to the Nine Palaces and Bagua type.
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, and a cement area in front of the house for parking and drying. There is also a garden in front of it. It used to belong to someone else. In the early 1990s, the gardener mainly sent children When he was studying, he was 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 very short of money and were reluctant to sell the garden 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." Le Yun jumped out of the car and saw her father helping with the luggage, so she took the trolley suitcase by herself. Dad, I'll do it."
Zhou Qiufeng stopped the car and helped little Lele move things. She quickly handed the bucket of washing supplies to Lele's father. "Brother Le, help Lele. Let’s just carry this.”
Le’s father couldn’t resist, so he carried the lightest piece of luggage back to the main room with one foot high and one foot low.
Zhou Qiufeng was very strong and could twist a big woven bag without any effort. She twisted the things to the main room of the Le family. She declined Xiao Lele's offer 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 dad. He is now forty-two years old. It can be said that they and Le’s dad grew up wearing crotchless pants. He married A little early, I got married as soon as I reached the legal age and became a father at 23. The eldest is a daughter and is now attending a medical school in Shishi. The younger son is still one year older than Leyun. He is in the third grade of junior high school and is about to take the high school entrance examination. Due to the college entrance examination, At home for the holidays.
Zhou Qiufeng is now thirty-nine. She divorced and returned to her parents’ home.I have lived there for seven or eight years, taking care of my parents at home and helping with household chores. I sent my father away last year, and 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 inner 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 her father. , winking at his father and snickering.
"Lele, what are you laughing at?" Lele's father was preparing to serve the meal. The workshop was also on holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival. He prepared all morning, cooked the dishes, and waited for the little cotton-padded jacket to come back for the festival.
"Dad, who made the rice dumplings?" Le Yun quickly stopped her smile, looking like a curious baby.
"I took the rice and asked your Aunt Feng's family to make it for me." His little cotton-padded jacket asked knowingly. It had been like this every year. He, a grown man, couldn't make rice dumplings, so he had to ask the Zhou family for help.
"My Aunt Feng is your sister Feng." Le Yun stuck out her tongue and ran away.
The child is naughty, and Le’s father stares helplessly.
In order to eliminate the pressure caused by the college entrance examination and give his daughter a supplement, Le's father slaughtered a native chicken, stewed mushrooms, bought meat, cooked two side dishes, and made two meat and two vegetarian dishes. .
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 helps his daughter buy a carton of milk and opens a carton for her to drink.
Le Yun got the chopped chicken drumsticks from her father, and stared for a while speechless. She was fourteen years old, she was no longer a child, and she still ate chicken drumsticks
The protest was 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?”
Ah
Le’s father stared blankly at his daughter, his heart sour 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 he refused to call her. His biological mother was called Mom, and he always referred to that woman. Thinking of his child's biological mother, his heart felt like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell what it felt like. < /p>
"Dad, do you still have that woman in your heart?" Le Yun was dissatisfied with her father's answer and made up her mind to ask the truth this time and get to the bottom of 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 the past. I don’t regret that time, after all, you are only there because of her; I said 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, I It is no longer possible to renew our relationship with her. Some things have become the past and can never be returned to.head. ”
Le’s father is also a cultured person, and 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 at all costs. He likes it so much that he is not afraid even if he fights with others. Because of this, he has turned from a good young man to a disabled person.
Do you hate it?
He probably resented it and it was because of him. He had a child with her, and his love and hatred disappeared. No matter what, he would never forget the harm the child's mother had caused to him, the child, and his parents.
Le Yun blinked again, this happened. It should be her father's sincere words. He no longer wants to get back together with that woman, which makes her feel relieved. She hugs her father's arm happily, "Dad, please find me a new mother. I want a new mother." Mother. ”
