The 3rd, 6th, and 9th are commemorative days in Jiudao Township, and the 6th is also a market day. It rained heavily for several days, and the villagers were unable to go to the streets for the first few streets. Finally, it cleared up after the rain, and on that day The fair day is particularly lively.
Zhou Qiufeng went to the garden early in the morning to pick a batch of fresh melons and vegetables, and put them on the street together with the local eggs at home. By mid-morning, they were sold out. When the goods were sold out, she closed the stall and walked around the township street. , I went to a villager on the edge of the township and caught two piglets, put them in woven bags, loaded them into my car, and headed back to Mei Village in a hurry.
After returning home, Zhou Qiufeng first put one of her piglets in the pig pen, then drove the car to the door of the Lejia backyard and parked it. Then she went to the front of the Lejia house to get the key and open the door of the Lejia backyard. Lock.
Early rice is harvested in late July every year. By the beginning of this month, the villagers' chickens and ducks are also caged to prevent them from going to other people's fields to peck at rice. Le's father has to go to work, and the chickens are caged in the backyard. It was also locked.
Le’s father told Zhou Qiufeng where the key was hidden, and she could find it. Opening the door to Le’s backyard, she went into the pig pen and took a look. Everything was packed away, and the bedding grass was also laid out. She turned back Take the piglets in and put them in the pen.
Seeing the little piglets jumping happily in the pig pen and lying down in the whole nest, Zhou Qiufeng was relieved. She left the pig pen room, opened the courtyard door and went out. When she saw her sister-in-law standing outside, she almost Scared.
Sister-in-law Zhou came back from the market, still carrying something in her hand. She saw her sister-in-law coming out with a smile on her face, "I searched half the street and couldn't find it. I didn't even pay attention to my own family. Originally, Baba I went to help Yueqing catch piglets again. If you are so enthusiastic about the Le family, why don’t you become Leyun’s stepmother?”
“Zhou Qiufeng’s heart felt like it was being hammered, it hurt. Awesome, her entire face turned pale. She didn't know what was wrong with her sister-in-law recently. She always stimulated her behind someone's back. Now, she even said such words
She didn't want to pay attention to her sister-in-law, but Sister-in-law Zhou did. He didn't let her go. He looked at his sister-in-law with a sinister look and said something even worse: "Oh, I run to Le's house every two days. If you say that I have no affair with Yueqing, even I don't believe it. An old bachelor and a manless one." When dry firewood meets the fierce fire, "Tsk, tsk,"
Seeing the cannibalistic look in her sister-in-law's eyes, Sister-in-law Zhou felt frightened and did not dare to say any more unpleasant words. She swayed home with her bag and walked a few steps. Looking back, she saw two lines of tears streaming down her sister-in-law's face. She felt very happy and went home with a smile on her face.
After her sister-in-law left, Zhou Qiufeng silently wiped away the tears on her face, endured the unspeakable pain, drove to the Lejia house, put the keys back where they were, and fetched water from the water press to rinse the car body. , after cleaning the car, she calmed down, drove the car back to her house under the eaves, parked the car and went back to report to her mother.
During lunch, Sister-in-law Zhou sneered inwardly when she saw her sister-in-law acting as if nothing happened. She was indeed someone who could hold back her anger.
Zhou Qiufeng didn’t tell her mother-in-law about her sister-in-law’s troubles. Naturally, Grandma Zhou didn’t know that her daughter-in-law had been telling the girl things off openly behind her back.
Le’s father was in a good mood. He received a call from Lele in the afternoon to report that he was safe. His long-awaited heart was completely settled. He returned home from get off workAt home, the first thing I do is to go to the pig pen. I see the little piglet humming in the pen, and I happily feed it hot food.
In Shennong Mountain, Yan Xing waited until the sun went down and it was slightly dark before he brought the little Loli back. The little Loli collected some medicinal materials, and also got a pack of phoenix mushrooms and three wild mushrooms. egg.
The things were cleaned and he couldn't help. He watched the little Loli wrap two wild eggs with several medicinal materials, wrap leaves on the outside, bury them in the fire, and also bury some yams. Watch her cooking the washed yams in a bowl.
"Uncle Scar, have you contacted any of your relatives and friends?" She was watching the fire, nothing happened, Le Yun was concerned about whether the eunuch would stay or leave, but she was really in a hurry and couldn't stay with him for a long time.
"My friend will pick me up tomorrow. He will arrive after noon." Yan Xing showed what he thought was the most friendly smile. "Little sister, the grace of saving my life will never be forgotten. Leave me your phone number and address." , I will recover from my injuries and then come to thank you in person."
Phew -
Obviously, Le Yun felt a gloomy chill, and the eunuch asked her for her address and phone number, just in case he happened. He was a desperado. He knew about her family's situation, so he repaid his kindness first and then silenced her. That would be a good thing.
“There’s no need to come and say thank you. I don’t want anyone to disturb my life. You are thinking about the life-saving grace and if you feel that it’s in your conscience not to repay it, please leave me your phone number or address. If I need you, I'll help you to return the favor."
"That's fine." Yan Xing paused slightly and obeyed Little Loli's wishes. She was probably afraid that he was a villain and refused to give her his phone number or address. Could it be that he couldn't find it?
Classmate Le is a practical person. He quickly found the notebook where he recorded the habits of medicinal materials and asked the eunuch to leave her contact information. Yan Xing did not leave an address, only a phone number and told her to call. He could be found on that phone, and the pseudonym he gave was Zhang Jin, which was the name of the original person with the scarred face.
Zhang Jin is a real person, but he is currently missing and he is just pretending to be someone else.
Hearing the name of the nunnery, Le Yun sneered secretly. She had seen the ID card he wore close to his body. The photo of his current face was on the ID card, but his face was fake. It can prove that he used someone else's ID card and changed his face to look like someone else's.
It feels like I'm in trouble.
Classmate Le was confused. She wanted to use people as guinea pigs to try her hand. Unexpectedly, she seemed to have picked up a very dangerous experimental object.
I have a headache
After struggling for a while, I simply put it aside. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. We will talk about the next thing later.
It gets dark early in the mountains and soon becomes completely dark.
The light of the fire attracted mosquitoes to come one after another. They did not fly to the flames, but were attracted by the smell of the cordyceps. They ran to stare at the cordyceps, and then sacrificed their lives to become the prey of the cordyceps.
Classmate Le cooked the yam, poured it into the nest made of folded leaves, then blanched the phoenix mushrooms and wild herbs, and finally cooked the porridge.
Cooking porridge takes time, so eat yam first to fill your stomach.
Wild eggs in the fireTurn it over once in the middle, and dig it out when the porridge is almost cooked. The herbs wrapped in the shell have evaporated the water and will break when touched.
The two of them each had an egg, cracked open the shell, and the egg white was like a layer of butter. It looked very good and tasted very delicious.
Gui Yanxing ate up the cooked porridge, then boiled the medicine, drank it, and then boiled it again. After the concoction was cooled, he put it into a mineral water bottle and boiled it continuously. After taking three doses of medicine, I was ready to go to bed at 10:30 p.m.
The eunuch is an injured person, and it is easy to touch the wound when climbing in the tent. Classmate Le asked him to sleep next to the fire and moved the caterpillars nearby. Since she could not enter the space, she spread some clothes in the tent. , lying on the ground and sleeping.
Yan Xing secretly observed the little Lolita, and she soon fell asleep. He couldn't help but feel depressed. The little Lolita was so casual with a strange man, so he was not afraid of the man turning into a wolf and raping her.
Le’s father didn’t have much to worry about. He had a good night’s sleep. He got up before dawn, opened the door, cooked instant noodles, and then fed hot pig food to the piglets and chickens at dawn.
After feeding the poultry, he took the keys and prepared to go to work. When he saw Zhou Qiufeng trotting into the main room, Le's father was startled. Qiufeng was carrying her bag and had packed it neatly, but the expression on her face was different. So true.
"Xiaofeng, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well." Le's father asked cautiously. He was afraid that if he spoke loudly, others would hear him and think he was instigating the relationship, saying that the Zhou brothers and sister-in-law were not good to Zhou Qiufeng. good.
"No," Zhou Qiufeng felt uncomfortable because she was humiliated by her sister-in-law yesterday, and there was no smile on her face. When she heard Yueqing's concern, she shook her head slightly and hesitated and asked, "Brother Le, do you have your household registration?" , can you lend it to me?"
"Oh, the household registration book, I'll get it." Dad Le didn't ask what he wanted to see in the household registration book. He dragged his lame leg, one foot was light and the other was heavy. Go back to the bedroom, find the household registration book from the closet, return to the main room, and hand the book to Zhou Qiufeng.
He didn't ask anything. Zhou Qiufeng was very confused. She took the Le family's household registration book, her lips trembled slightly, and she mustered up the courage to ask, "Brother Le, little Lele said she wanted a new mother. What do you think?"
"Ah" Zhou Qiufeng's abrupt words frightened Dad Le. He opened his mouth and was speechless.
The look of Yue Qing made Zhou Qiufeng feel anxious, and her shoulders shook sadly, "Brother Le doesn't like the new mother Lele wants, right?"
"No No, no, no," Le's father immediately became excited and hurriedly denied it. He was nervous and stuttered. "I don't dislike it. I'm just afraid of wronging her. I have bad legs and will only drag others down."
Zhou Qiufeng's eyes welled up and she grabbed Yue Qing's arm. "Brother Le, let's go to the county to register for marriage."
"Ah" Le's father was confused. .
Zhou Qiufeng was afraid that Yueqing would regret it and that she would not back down. She thought about it all night before making the decision, and she took this step with all her courage.
I still have the courage to drag down Dad Le regardless of the circumstances., locked the door of Lejia, and pushed Leba, who was still standing dumbfounded, into the back of Lejia's old electric tricycle, and she drove away, beeping.
Arrived at Xiang Street, Zhou Qiufeng parked the electric three-wheeler in a corner in front of a shop that she was familiar with before, pulled Le's dad onto the county shuttle bus, and used Le's dad's mobile phone to call Boss Wu to ask for leave.
Boss Wu heard that Yueqing had something to do and went to the county town. He said nothing and smiled.
Le’s father’s brain was in a state of confusion. He would giggle for a while and be in a daze for a while. He was completely in a fog. He was at the mercy of Zhou Qiufeng. When the shuttle bus arrived at the county, he still hadn’t come back to his senses.
Le’s father was confused, but Zhou Qiufeng was sober. She took full decision and took an electric tricycle carrying passengers from the bus station and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On Thursday of that day, someone was going through the marriage procedures in the Civil Affairs Bureau. The staff saw a middle-aged man and woman who thought they were getting a divorce, but it turned out that they were getting married, which made them stunned.
Getting married is only nine dollars. , took wedding photos, registered, and then, in less than half an hour, two red certificates came out.
After getting the marriage certificate, Zhou Qiufeng helped Le's dad downstairs and walked out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Le's dad was still smiling silly, and it was still a very silly smile that made passers-by look at him.
Zhou Qiufeng took Dad Le to visit the county town again. She bought a lot of things in big and small bags, then went to have a fast food and went shopping again. It was almost time to return to the station and take the 1:30 bus back. Jiudao Township.
It was only around four o'clock when we arrived in the countryside. The sky was clean and the sunshine was light.
Zhou Qiufeng asked Dad Le to wait on the tricycle, and then went to buy fish, meat, slaughtered chickens and ducks, milk, tobacco and alcohol, filling the car full, and returned home fully loaded.
After returning home, Le's father still seemed to be in a dream, feeling so special and unreal. He never thought that he and Xiaofeng would get married so simply.
Zhou Qiufeng moved things into the house. Le's father was confused and giggled, "Xiaofeng, we are married."
"Well, we are married." Holding a new quilt Zhou Qiufeng, who was making the mat, felt her face heat up, lowered her head, walked past Yueqing, and sent the quilt into the bedroom where he used to live.
Dad Le chased to the door with a smile on his face, "Xiaofeng, we are really married."
"Yes, we are really married." Zhou Qiufeng's old face burned even hotter, and she lowered her head She unfurled a new mat and made the bed. She half-forced and half-deceived him into getting married. She felt so ashamed.
"You're really married." Dad Le was dumbfounded and pinched himself. It hurt.
It hurt so much that he shivered. His brain, which had been in chaos all day, finally woke up. He hurriedly ran to the closet, found the key to open the small drawer, and pulled out a bankbook from the bottom. He ran to Zhou Qiufeng with a clanking sound, grabbed her hand, and stuffed the bankbook into her hand. "Xiaofeng, this is mine." All the savings, eleven thousand six hundred and thirty-one yuan, you keep it."
As soon as he spread the mat, Zhou Qiufeng raised his head in surprise when his hand was caught, "Brother Le, no gift is needed. When I marry you, I don’t have any dowry. We can live as long as we cangood. ”
“It’s not a betrothal gift. From now on, you can do whatever you say to this family. The money is also yours to take care of. You don’t have to worry about Lele’s tuition. Lele got a bonus of 60,000 yuan and a scholarship to Qingdao University.” As well as a placement fee of 10,000 yuan, she has already saved enough for Lele’s college expenses. "
Zhou Qiufeng was held by a pair of hands, and she felt his big hands were very tight. Her heart felt sour, and her eyes almost shed tears. She swallowed hard, "Brother Le, I will be wronged in the future. Lele is retired. "
"No, no, we have wronged you. From now on, you will have to take care of yourself at home and outside. "Lele's father was very nervous and his words were incoherent.
"I am not wronged. I will marry you and I will have a place. Lele doesn't mind me. What else should I be wronged about?" Zhou Qiufeng felt sad and uncomfortable. , turned around and threw herself into Dad Le's arms, sobbing.
The years of looking at her sister-in-law's eyes made her suppress too many emotions, and when she cried, she couldn't stop her tears. It was like a flood that opened a gate, and a lot of old people poured out.
Le’s father was helpless and wanted to pat her shoulder, but he didn’t dare. Finally, he gently put his arm around her waist and let her enjoy it. Crying, he also knew how Sister-in-law Zhou was, Qiu Feng felt miserable, and she needed a place to vent her frustration.
Hold the woman she would spend half of her life with, and listen to her sobbing. Instead, he felt at peace in his heart. Years ago, when Qiufeng was still a child, she would play with him and Brother Zhou behind his back. He never thought that one day he and her would form a family, but he did not expect that the world would be unpredictable. After going round and round, in the end, When they reached middle age, they became husband and wife.
The story of Lele’s mother made him realize that passionate relationships may break up before they end; marriages only last long if they last smoothly.
