wife's choice

Chapter 421 No longer being laughed at!

Xu Wanqiu suddenly took out a cigarette in front of her mother and lit it.

Inhaled lightly, exhaled the smoke slowly
The mother on the side looked at her in astonishment.

Xu Wanqiu has never smoked in front of her mother, what I said just now can be regarded as a confession, and it can also be regarded as letting her get acquainted with my relatives in advance.

but.
Looking at her snow-white teeth biting a cigarette butt, I suddenly had a bad feeling
After a few puffs, Xu Wanqiu smiled faintly, put out the cigarette in her hand, and said, "It's still not enough."

The corner of my mouth turned up bitterly, and I didn't force it anymore.

Both mother and daughter are persuading her to go back to celebrate the New Year with us, the hometown is very fun and so on.

Xu Wanqiu never opened her mouth.
When I got home, my mother and daughter went to bed, and Xu Wanqiu was about to go into the room to sleep. I asked lightly, "Is it because of Mu Chenfeng?"

Xu Wanqiu put her hand on the doorknob, she didn't speak, and she didn't turn around.

I turned around and took out a cigarette and lit it without saying a word. Seeing the faintly rising smoke, I felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, there was a soft door closing sound.

I looked at the cigarette on the ashtray, and without the urge to smoke, I turned and entered the room.

There seems to be an extra barrier between the two of us, and that barrier is because of Mu Chenfeng.

That night, I sat on the windowsill and stayed up all night.

Looking at the sky dotted with stars, he lit cigarettes one by one in his hand, but didn't take a puff.

After dawn, I took a shower and prepared a hearty breakfast. When I knocked on the door and asked Xu Wanqiu if she wanted something to eat, I didn’t know when she had gone out
I looked down at the carefully prepared breakfast in my hand, and my mother asked Xu Wanqiu if she was not feeling well. I smiled and told them to eat quickly. After eating, we drove home!
……

The car was so full that the mother and daughter had no room to sit, barely squeezed together with the New Year's goods.

There are cars everywhere along the way, all of them are going home for the New Year.

My mother was always talking about what to do with buying so much and wasting so much money.

But I was thinking, when I come back after the new year, do I have to change to a big G like Su Qing, otherwise, I have bought too much of this thing and there is no place to put it.

Moreover, the way home is still her kind of big G that is comfortable to drive, unlike this car, which is often scratched on the chassis. If I drive such a good car back home before, I will feel so sorry for being scratched.

The whole journey was non-stop, and I didn't eat lunch. I let my mother and daughter eat some pastries. I will be home soon, and I will make food when I get home.

When it was almost one o'clock, the car finally entered the village.

A group of children were playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw my car, they all yelled happily and followed the car all the way to my house.

It's not yet at the door of the house, and many relatives and friends are already looking forward to it.

Looking at the things in their hands, it is obvious that they are preparing for the New Year tomorrow.

When the mother saw them, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

I know that her roots are here, although she lives quite comfortably with Xu Wanqiu, and I heard that she dances square dances with the old man and old lady all day long.

However, in her life, everything is here!

When the car came to a complete stop, relatives and friends surrounded the car and touched the car with envious eyes. The mother smiled and got out of the car with her daughter in her arms to greet them.

Our house has an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters. It is a wall made of stones. The yard is very large. However, in order to buy the Jinlan suite, only a small and dilapidated earth-based house was left. Built with bricks made of hay, the area is less than a hundred square meters, not even enough room for greeting people.

Moreover, it is already an older generation's house, and the mud bricks have been washed by the rain so that the grass is exposed, and the rainproof felt on the roof is also torn.

Naturally, my car couldn't drive in, so I had to park on the side of the road.

Fortunately, the road is fairly spacious and does not affect tractors and other vehicles.

When I parked the car and went in, everyone was eating sunflower seeds outside to bask in the sun, and my mother was left to clean the house by herself, which was full of dust.

I looked at the New Year's goods in my hand, and I was a little upset.

So many people didn't say anything to help.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"Sister, stop messing around in there, come out and pour tea for us, your mouth is dry after sitting for so long."

The loud voice startled me.

I frowned, and looked at my uncle who was vomiting melon seed shells all over the floor. He was still stepping on his heels. Maybe it was the last time I went to Jinlan to collect money. , with a cigarette in his mouth, his face flushed, he must have just finished drinking.

A foolish look.

Those relatives and friends saw that my face was a little strange, and the person sitting next to my uncle stabbed him twice with a crutch to tell him to shut up.

He turned to me and said with a smile that Xiaojie is back, I haven't seen him for so many years, he is promising.

I smiled and nodded in response, looking at my uncle with a bit of displeasure.

The mother held a rag in her hand, and her thin body came out carrying an aluminum pot sideways with difficulty. She said that the fire had just started and there was no hot water yet, so everyone would drink some well water first, and after a while it would be boiled for everyone. Make tea.

My daughter followed behind her very sensiblely, dragging two stools made of grass, which we call grass squats. I used them when I was a child, but I didn’t expect them to still exist now.

But those two grass squats were almost bigger than her, and their petite bodies dragged hard.

The cute voice called to uncle and grandpa to please sit down.

I hurriedly put down the New Year's goods in my hand and was about to step forward. Suddenly, my daughter's hand slipped, and she couldn't move the straw, squatting and fell to the ground.

She didn't cry, but looked up at us, those relatives were still laughing.

I hurried forward and hugged her up. Her little pink skirt was dirty and her hands were dirty. She looked at me timidly, afraid of being scolded by me.

Eyes like black jewels, with tears in their eyes, and small lips pursed.

I wiped away her tears with distress, took the kettle that my mother was about to pour water for uncle, and said angrily that there was no water at home, so I had to wait slowly if I wanted to drink.

My relatives and friends saw that I was a little unhappy, and there were other things at home, so they all got up and went back.

I asked my mother to sit, and her legs were fine, but she still had to pay attention.

Simply clean out the pots and pans, and after cooking for the two of them, I clean up the house by myself. When it gets dark, I cook a bowl of noodles for the two, and continue to clean.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If the house is not cleaned up, people who leave relatives during the New Year will laugh at them.

My father passed away without enjoying the blessings. As a son, I can't let him be laughed at anymore
