The Cheng family is next door to the Zhou family, just past the road in front of the Zhou family house. It is also a two-story building. Sister-in-law Liu returned home, emptied the bag of grain in the cart bucket on the ground, took the mushrooms into the house, took them out and put them on the ground. After getting some air, I picked up tea, bread and rice dumplings, and then drove to the fields again.
The car passed through the village and drove to the road to the farmland. When it stopped at a place, Sister-in-law Liu picked up food and walked along the field ridge across several fields to the Cheng family's big field, greeting the busy people. People take a rest first.
The sun is very strong in the afternoon. People in the fields all wear straw hats to soak up the sun. The rice leaves fly out and stick to people, causing an itchy feeling. Everyone's face is red.
The people who help the Cheng family are not only the Zhou family and Zhou Qiufeng, but also Cheng Youde's cousin and his wife, as well as Zhang Ke and Wu's sister-in-law. Zhang Ke's mother is the Cheng family's aunt, and Cheng Youde and Zhang Ke are cousins. .
Cheng Youde is also a daughter and a son. They went to college and did not come back during the summer vacation. They went to work during the summer vacation. There were nine people in the field including the owner. They each finished their work and went to the field. I sat down, wiped my face, and had something to eat to replenish my strength.
"I just sent Gu home, and I happened to meet Lele coming back. Xiao Lele gave me a big turkey tail mushroom, saying that it would be eaten by the elderly in our family."
While speaking, Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but praise the girl from the Le family. When Yueqing broke her leg, the Cheng family and the Zhou family lent money to the Le family. Lele was taught by the older generation to be grateful and was grateful to Zeng for helping The elderly people in the Guo Le family are particularly respected. Even if the older generation of the Le family has passed away, Xiao Lele still respects the elderly as always.
"Lele has a clear heart. It's not like you just found out today." Cheng Youde smiled and answered his wife's words, "Lele is admitted to Qingdao University. I'm still waiting for Yueqing to invite me to drink. I don't know when Yueqing will be here." Please."
When Zhou Qiufeng heard that Lele was back, her old face became unnaturally hot, and she felt extremely proud. She was now Lele's new mother, so how could she be unhappy when someone praised her child? of.
Sister-in-law Zhou was slightly startled and looked at Zhou Qiufeng secretly. She found that her sister-in-law was snickering. She has to take care of the chickens and ducks every day, as well as the fields outside and the vegetables in the garden. She has to take care of everything, so she has endless work to do in a day.
Now, Sister-in-law Zhou also regrets it. If she had known this, she would definitely not dislike her sister-in-law living in her parents' house. With her sister-in-law here, she doesn't have to take care of the housework at all. At most, she goes to the fields to do some work with the men.
Unfortunately, regret is of no use. My sister-in-law has already gone to the Le family, and she really puts the Le family first in everything and no longer cares about the Zhou family's affairs.
Sister-in-law Zhou felt particularly depressed when she thought that she would have to do everything by herself in the future.
Sister-in-law Zhou is in a gloomy mood, but Brother Zhou is in high spirits. It’s great that Lele is back. Only when he comes back will he know that Xiaofeng and Yueqing are married.
Cheng Youde mentioned whether the Le family wanted to invite a drink, and Brother Zhou also expressed his opinion, saying that he wanted to have a drink. You must know that Le Yun became the provincial champion, which made Meizijing Village popular.He went to the street to do business. When he mentioned Meizijing Village, many people in nearby villages said that Meicun was the No. 1 village.
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Liu said again, "Brother Ke, which university did Zhang Jing go to? When will you invite me for a drink?"
Zhang Ke and his wife are embarrassed Sister-in-law Wu replied with a blushing face, "The admission letter hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know where we will go. We won't invite you to drink. We are just going to college, so there is no need to show off."
Sister-in-law Wu hesitated. , push back and forth, Cheng Youde and Brother Zhou guessed that Zhang Jing probably did a lot worse than Le Yun in the exam. If Zhang Jing did well in the exam, Sister-in-law Wu would definitely publicize and show off everywhere. It was impossible not to serve wine and only know how to do it. Put on a show to celebrate.
No one tried to expose Zhang Ke and his wife’s little tricks. After a short break, everyone took the time to get back to work.
When the glow fills the western sky, busy people also call it a day.
Le Yun cleaned a batch of fungi and some medicinal materials at home and moved them to the second floor to dry them. When the sun was about to set and could no longer shine on the floor in front of the house, she took the initiative to help the Cheng family harvest the grain. The sun-dried millet is gathered into piles and packed into woven bags.
She was quick with her hands and feet, and cleared the place in less than twenty minutes. The woven bag containing the millet was not tied, so that it could breathe first, and then she washed her hands, collected her own medicinal materials and mushrooms, and started cooking.
I plugged in the rice cooker and was about to feed the chickens when I heard the beeping sound of a tricycle outside. I knew my dad was back and hurriedly ran to see it.
Lele’s dad just came outside after getting off work and saw a person popping out. He took a look and smiled from his heart, full of joy: "Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, you are finally home."
His girl has been in the mountains for more than 20 days, and she is just shy of a month. He is worried to death. Every time he thinks about it, he wants to praise the child. See you now. When it comes to the child, the thought of wanting to teach her a lesson has long been forgotten, and she can only be happy.
"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket misses you so much. Dad, your girl has got something good again." When Le Yun saw her dad, she jumped over to her, He hugged his father's arm with a smile and an expression of "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly".
"Dad also wants to see the little cotton-padded jacket. Let me see if the little cotton-padded jacket has lost weight. After staying in the mountains for so long, has he been injured anywhere? Has he caught a cold? Is he hungry like a flash flood? Are you scared?"
When Dad Le saw the girl, he immediately grabbed her and looked her over, asking questions like a barrage of questions. The questions came one after another without a pause in between. .
Le Yun’s eyes felt hot as she listened to her father’s long list of questions. She cooperated and showed him, and even turned around in a circle, “Your little cotton-padded jacket is not thin, and you eat delicacies and game every day. He has grown a little taller and gained some weight. Dad will come home soon. The little cotton-padded jacket has found something delicious. "
"Yes, let's go home," Le's father happily agreed. He drove around the corner, turned under the eaves of his house, parked the car, stood on the ground with a cane, saw the gate, and suddenly blushed when he thought of his marriage to Zhou Qiufeng.
Leyun helped her father into the main room, and Leyun’s father sawThere were a lot of mushrooms in the bamboo sieve, including shiitake mushrooms, fungus, phoenix tail mushrooms, chicken foot bones, pumpkin mushrooms, and two balls of turkey tail mushrooms. His eyes widened and he said, "Lele, how did you get so many mushrooms?"
"I'm lucky. I picked it up on the way back. Dad, let's not talk about that for now. Tell your girl, what happy event happened in our family? We posted red happy words everywhere and bought new ones. Furniture, dad, did you win the lottery?"
"Lele, Lele, that, that, that?" Le's father was asked and his old face was burning. It was so hot. I'm embarrassed to talk about my marriage.
"Dad, is it you who has taken a wife?" Seeing her father blushing, a flash of lightning flashed in Le Yun's mind, she must have guessed it
p>She struggled for nearly half a day and had many assumptions, but she was finally overturned by herself, leaving only a father to get married
Only after getting married would people post happy words, but she also doubted Yes, with his father's shy personality, it would be too difficult for him to confess his love to Aunt Feng. If it were Grandma Zhou's fault, it would not be easy to open up the topic and make her father and Aunt Feng want to live together. It will be so soon, at least until she comes back before getting married.
At this moment, seeing her father's appearance, Le Yun felt that it was very likely that her father would get rid of the title of single and be promoted to a married person.
"Yes." Dad Le was so embarrassed that he hummed softly.
"Is the new mother Aunt Feng? Dad, tell me quickly, isn't she?" Le Yun hugged her father's hand and shook it, the smile emerged from the bottom of her heart and she couldn't even hide it.
"Yes." Dad Le wanted to dig into the cracks in the ground.
"Oh, long live daddy" Le Yun hugged her dad excitedly and rested her head on his chest. Dad got married. Finally, she was not a motherless child, she also had a complete child. We are home. From now on, when dad has a wife, she will feel free to go to other places.
Being hugged by the child, Le's father peeked at the girl shyly. When he saw his little cotton-padded jacket, his eyes narrowed and his mouth opened. The smile was full of joy. He asked sheepishly, "Le "Le, you don't blame dad"
"No blame, no blame, although you got married before I came back, I'm a little regretful, but it doesn't matter, dad found a good new mother for me, I have Dad has a new mother, and our family is complete."
Lele's father raised his rough hand and touched the girl's head, his eyes suddenly turned red. Lele had not had a mother since she was a child, and she wanted a new baby very much. Mom, it was he who caused her childhood to lack maternal love. He wanted to cry, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice, "Brother Le, is Lele back?"
Whoosh, Le's father turned around and said, "Xiao Feng, Lele is back."
Leyun threw herself into her father's arms, raised her head when she heard the sound, and helped her father turn around. She happened to see Zhou Qiufeng coming to the door, holding a straw hat in one hand and a straw hat in the other. He is wearing a sickle for cutting crops, a short-sleeved shirt, and sleeves on his arms.
"Aunt Feng, no, it's a new mother." Le Yun threw away her father and ran away like a joy, running towards Zhou Qiufeng.
ListenWhen she reached the phrase "new mother", Zhou Qiufeng was frozen in place, unable to move any further. She looked straight at the approaching little Lele, her nose felt sore and the corners of her eyes were warm.
She wanted to cry. Even if she married Yueqing, she was still worried. She was afraid that Lele would change his mind one day and would despise her as a burden. However, she did not expect that someone would eventually treat her as a burden. Bao, sincerely accept her as a new family member.
Zhou Qiufeng's heart palpitated, and her eyes almost shed tears. She was stunned for only ten seconds, and then she was hugged by the person who rushed towards her waist, and her head was thrust into her arms.
Plunging into the arms of the new mother, Le Yun smiled happily, "New mother, from now on I will still be called Aunt Feng, not mom. Calling me mom will remind me of that heartless and unjust woman called Xin." Mom's words sound like a nanny to outsiders. Although I can't call her mom, I think of Aunt Feng as my mother."
"Okay, as long as Lele likes her." Zhou Qiufeng swallowed her tears and threw away her straw hat. , gently patted Xiao Lele's shoulder, and her heart was filled with a warm feeling. She is also a mother of a child.
Le's father, who was left behind, stood by himself, watching the girl cast her gaze. Entering Zhou Qiufeng's arms, I couldn't help but be jealous, "Little heartless Lele, you don't want your father when you have a new mother."
"Dad, my new mother is your wife, you are jealous of your own girl , ashamed."
"You are the one who is right."
"I am the one who is right."
Zhou Qiufeng's face was expressionless as she listened to the bickering between the father and daughter. The smile on his face became wider and wider. He wanted to pinch the child's face, but he was afraid that there would be grains of grain on his hands, so he held back his hand and threw away the sickle. "Brother Le, help light the fire. I'll feed the pigs first. I'll butcher a chicken later and give it to Lele." "Take some nutrition."
"Hey, I'll go." Dad Le went to the kitchen happily.
"Don't kill the chickens, I'm not malnourished." Now, she finally knew where the extra chickens, ducks and furniture came from. They were brought by the new mother from the Zhou family. < /p>
"Okay, Aunt Feng, take a shower first. The gray ash on your body will make you feel hairy and itchy, making you feel uncomfortable."
Such a simple sentence, so heart-warming, Zhou Qiufeng She felt heartbroken, her eyes felt hot, and warm tears rushed out of her eyes. She immediately reached out to wipe away the tears, and answered with a smile, "Okay, I'll take a shower first."
She was afraid that the tiny bits of grass leaves on her body might get onto her child, so she took a step back, took off her sleeves, and then went to the bedroom to find clean clothes in two steps. Go take a shower.
Le Yun ran into the kitchen happily and saw her father sitting on a low stool lighting the fire. A sweet smile appeared on his face that always smiled naively. She moved a bench and sat across from her father. , looked at him and laughed fiercely, "Dad, I heard Aunt Liu say that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are helping her family harvest rice. Let's go ask your mother-in-law to come over for dinner tonight."
"Uh" was When the girl teased him, Dad Le almost choked and pretended to be a big boy.The parent glared fiercely, but when he saw the child's smiling face that was brighter than a sunflower, he couldn't even pretend to be fierce.
"Zhou Chunmei is back from vacation, and Zhou Tianming is also back. Your grandma Zhou probably wants to make food for her grandchildren and won't come over."
"You can ask them to come together. Well."
"Let's forget about this," Le Dad objected hesitantly.
"Why?" Le Yun asked a hundred thousand reasons smoothly, and then reacted in an instant, "Does Sister Chunmei have any objections?"
"Well, Chunmei will know when she comes back." My aunt lived with me, and she lost her temper. She was very dissatisfied with your Aunt Feng, so I didn't want to make your new mother feel wronged by asking her to come over for dinner."
"I understand, I'll send you some mushrooms. "Give it to Grandma Zhou."
"Okay, go ahead. If Chunmei says anything, don't fight with her again."
Le's father didn't object, because Zhou Chunmei didn't. As for their family, it's not easy for them to invite the Zhou family's grandparents and grandchildren to come over for a meal. It's a child's filial piety to send something to the elderly, and it's two different things than inviting them over for a meal.
"Don't worry, I can get things done by arguing, and I usually won't fight with people." Le Yun giggled to herself and rushed out of the kitchen like flying.
Lele’s father wiped his hands with cold sweat. Lele was preparing to quarrel with Zhou Chunmei. He originally wanted to persuade the little cotton-padded jacket to endure the anger and not cause trouble. But after thinking about it again, well, let Lele go. If there is really a quarrel, Get up and let Lele help Xiaofeng vent her anger.
