Zhou Qiufeng ran very fast and rushed to the van. When she saw the bright smile on Xiao Lele’s fair face, her heart felt hot. She covered the girl’s head with her big rough hands: “Lele, you finally We're home."
"I went looking for something in the morning, so I came back a little late." Le Yun gritted her teeth, took out the banknotes and gave them to the driver, then put the big backpack on her back, and finally offered to pack it. Box tied with zip ties.
"Oh my god, why is this a big bag?" Zhou Qiufeng was frightened by the big backpack that was not much shorter than the girl. She wanted to grab it to help carry it, but she couldn't.
"Brother Chao and his wife gave me a lot of things to bring back. Aunt Feng, let's go home. I want to eat the rice at home."
Le Yun carried it in her hand Box, holding the new mother's arm with one hand, flying with joy.
"Well, let's go home." Zhou Qiufeng took the girl to her tricycle parked on the side of the road, and waited for Xiao Lele to put away her backpack and drive home.
The air in my hometown is not the smell of dust or car exhaust, but the most natural earthy smell of vegetation, as well as the smell of smoke from burning firewood and weeds.
People say it’s hard to leave one’s homeland, and it’s true. Even though I’ve only been away for a semester, Leyun feels like she’s been away for a long time. She smells the most familiar local flavor, full of satisfaction and comfort. The air at home is good.
Zhou Qiufeng drove back to Meizijing Village and met many villagers on the way into the village. They were very enthusiastic when they saw her picking up the girl.
Le Yun, who always had a smile on her round face, sweetly called "x grandma x grandpa x uncle x aunt" all the way over.
After stopping and walking, it took more than half an hour to get back to the vicinity of Lejia, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
When she saw that the building at home was repainted and the second floor was built, Le Yun’s eyes widened. “Aunt Feng, when will the second floor of our house be built?”
"It was built in August. If the grain is placed on the first floor, it will easily get damp due to moisture in spring. If it is built on the second floor, the millet and corn will not be affected by moisture on the second floor. In summer, the first floor will be cooler."
< p>"Aunt Feng, you took out your private money, right?""What private money? Now we are a family."
"Aunt Feng, thank you I am willing to be my new mother." Le Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, hugged the new mother's waist from behind and rested her face on Aunt Feng's shoulder. There was a new mother who cared about her family and her children. She and her father also had someone to rely on. Family is truly complete.
"Silly Lele, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for being willing to accept me as a member of your family. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a mother."
Zhou Qiufeng will drive the car Stopping, she turned around and hugged her child. The moment she entered the Le family, she regarded the Le family as her last support and Lele as her own child. In this life, she felt that the most correct thing to do was They deceived and forcibly dragged Yueqing to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a certificate.
Her good luck also started from that day. She got a husband, a new home, a girl, and then had the opportunity to experience giving birth to a child.
Her good luck is all given by Lele. If Lele doesn't like her and doesn't accept her as stepmother, Yueqing will naturally not get married again. Only with Lele's consent can Yueqing remarry.
Lele took the first step, so she had the courage to take one step and embark on the road to happiness.
Love is mutual.
Both of them need each other, a hug, warmth and happiness.
"Aunt Feng, we don't have to thank you. We are a family." Feeling that Aunt Feng was about to cry, Le Yun ruined the atmosphere with a busy smile.
"Well, let's go home." Zhou Qiufeng touched Xiao Lele's head and turned around to drive.
Arrived outside the home, turned around, Zhou Qiufeng parked the car on the ground at the door, opened the door, and then helped open the door to Lele's room. Leyun unscrewed the luggage bag from the car, returned it to the room, and immediately Go help with housework.
The girl helped with the work as soon as she got home. Zhou Qiufeng refused, but she couldn't stop her, so she had to let Xiao Lele help cook and light the fire and heat the pig food, while she went to feed the chickens and ducks.
When she found out she was pregnant, she hatched another brood of chicks, plus the chicks and ducklings hatched during the double rush period and in the eighth lunar month, there were dozens of chickens, large and small, in total. Duck, very lively.
While the pig food was heating up, Le Yun jumped into the backyard to look at the chickens, ducks and pigs. The chickens she had fed with space water grew very fast, strong and fat. The two pigs she bought back in June were only Half a year seems like a year of raising pigs, because they have to kill pigs during the Chinese New Year and buy piglets back.
Seeing the excitement of the six domestic animals, she smiled and turned back to the kitchen to prepare pig food.
With her own girl helping to feed the pigs, Zhou Qiufeng washed her hands and returned to the kitchen, taking out the chickens she had slaughtered in the morning to make dinner.
It was already dusk when Le Dad drove his old electric tricycle back home, and every house had lights on. As soon as he reached the path outside the house, he heard a thrush-like laughter floating from home. He excitedly drove the car towards the door. As soon as he stopped and walked to the door with a cane, a small figure jumped out and flew to him like a bird returning to its nest.
"Dad, dad, your little cotton-padded jacket is back." Le Yunlai grabbed her dad's clothes and acted coquettishly next to her dad.
"Little cotton-padded jacket, be good, little cotton-padded jacket, let daddy see if my little cotton-padded jacket is thin or dark." The girl was still as clingy as she was when she was a child every few days when we didn't see each other, and Le's father felt sore. , his eye sockets became hot, he held the crutch under his armpits, touched the back of his precious daughter's head with his big hands, and carefully looked at the girl who had been separated for a long time.
"Dad's little cotton-padded jacket has grown a little taller, but he has also lost a little weight, and his skin has turned darker. Is he acclimated to the climate and the food is not to his liking?"
"Dad, outside It's dark, you are wrong. Your girl has obviously gained two pounds, but she is still as white as before. You actually said that I have lost weight and that I have become darker. I am not happy, but dad is right about one thing. , there is something right about being acclimatized. The weather in the capital is too cold. The wind blowing on your face really feels like a knife shaving your face. Your little cotton-padded jacket has thin skin and tender flesh. It is so easy to be disfigured by the north wind. Fortunately Your girl is studying medicine.I applied some kind of cream or ointment to protect my face. ”
My father is a daughter-in-law, and he always feels that his daughter is suffering and tired. Le Yun giggled, exaggeratedly complained about the weather in Kyoto, and held her father’s arm into the house.
"Lele's little cotton-padded jacket is contradicting itself again. Just now, she said she was neither dark nor skinny. In the next moment, she said that the weather in Kyoto was bad and she almost got disfigured. She bullied her father for not studying well. "Dad Le laughed loudly at the girl's words, and with help, he walked into the house with one foot high and one foot low.
It was already dark, so he closed the door and went into the kitchen to eat.
Zhou Qiufeng saw her father and daughter coming in and setting up the benches. It was too cold, so it was impossible to take the food outside to the main room and eat hot pot in the kitchen like in summer.
Le’s father and his wife asked the girl again. Sitting in the middle, the two of them sat on the left and right sides of the girl respectively. No wine or drinks were required, and they drank local chicken soup, which was nutritious.
When drinking soup, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng first picked up the chicken legs with chopsticks and stuffed them into the girl's bowl. , and then stared at her, as if if she didn’t eat, they would immediately tie her up and feed her.
“Chicken legs, chicken legs, chicken legs again, people don’t eat chicken legs anymore when they grow up. Can I leave it for my brother to eat?" Le Yun held the bowl with two large chicken drumsticks in her arms. Everything was fine when she returned home, but it was not good that she always had to eat chicken drumsticks after killing them.
"You're not even 18 yet, you've grown up there, eat it quickly. "Lele's father glared, "My younger brother will have chicken legs to eat after he is born. Besides, how did you know it was my younger brother?"
Brother Lele was putting pressure on little Lele, so Zhou Qiufeng stopped intimidating and confusing. Chicken kidneys, chicken livers and mushrooms for the girl.
“He is my younger brother. I helped Aunt Feng diagnose the baby’s pulse. "She touched the new mother's hand and diagnosed that Aunt Feng was pregnant with a boy.
"Lele, are you sure you made the right diagnosis?" Lele's dad looked at his little cotton-padded jacket happily. His girl is so small. You know how to feel the pulse, what a genius.
“It’s true, you have to believe in your little cotton-padded jacket’s medical skills. If you don’t believe in your girl, you must believe in your father’s vision. "
"Yeah, yeah, I believe in Lele's little cotton-padded jacket. "Lele's father nodded happily.
Zhou Qiufeng paused and asked gently, "Lele, do you like a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"I like them all, whether they are boys or girls. He's a child of the Le family. Aunt Feng will give birth to a younger brother. If I get bullied in the future when I get married, I won't need my father and Aunt Feng to step in. I'll ask my younger brother to carry the hoe and go find his brother-in-law to reason with him. If I give birth to a younger sister, and my younger sister gets married in the future, and my brother-in-law bullies my sister, I don’t need my father and Aunt Feng to step in. I will go to my brother-in-law with a scalpel to comment and see if he dares to bully my sister again. "
Both my brother and my sister are the grandchildren of my grandparents, my father's flesh and blood, the children of the Le family, and her brothers and sisters.
"Pfft, Look at you, your brother hasn't even been born yet, and you want to take him to fight and kill him, but you're not afraid of not being able to get married. "Lele's dad was so happy. His little cotton-padded jacket would fight with people every three days when he was a child, and he still thought he hadn't fought enough.
"I think Lele's words are very meaningful.Logically speaking, the younger brother must support his elder sister. If anyone bullies his elder sister, the younger brother will of course seek justice. "Zhou Qiufeng's eyes were sore and she wanted to cry again. Lele was not afraid that she would give birth to a son and seize the family property. She was so sensible and considerate. She must have done good things in her previous life, so she could still be so happy in her second marriage.
"So, if Aunt Feng helps me give birth to a younger brother, I won't have to worry about having no one to support me in the future." Le Yun smiled brightly, looked at her father, and puffed her cheeks with a hum, "Dad, you actually said that your little cotton-padded jacket I can’t get married, you are so bad, I don’t love you anymore, hum, you must know that your little cotton-padded jacket is doing well. There are a lot of people in the capital who are looking forward to your girl growing up quickly so that she can become a wife. If she reaches ten At eight years old, people lining up to marry your little cotton-padded jacket can go all the way from our house to the county seat. "
"It's not illegal to brag. Oh, Lele, look, the cow has gone to heaven. "The little cotton-padded jacket's ability to brag is better than his ability to fight, and he can brag to the sky."
"Humph, if you don't believe me, I'll knock you down. When I'm done eating, I'll show you a few things, and you'll know what your family is. How popular the girl is in Beijing. "
"Okay, let's wait for the little cotton-padded jacket to show us something good. Lele, eat quickly, there are two chicken wings and chicken drumsticks in the pot. "
" Le Yun wanted to hold the bowl and run away. The two big chicken legs were scary enough, and there were also small chicken legs on the chicken wings. This was to make her fat and turn into a little fat pig. Rhythm.
