good old days

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Qi and Jiang Yuzhu came with their mother at noon, and Liu Wen, her parents and brothers and sisters also came to see Old Man Luo.

Coincidentally, both parties knew each other. Old Man Luo placed stools in the small courtyard, and the big guys sat and talked in the courtyard, which was crowded.

Widow Wang was busy in the kitchen. When someone came, she came out, laid out moon cakes, and greeted Zhou Qi's mother, Zhang Tongzhi.

"The meal is almost ready. You can stay for lunch today."

Zhang Tongzhi discovered that Chen Jinhua's ex-wife looked like an ordinary, very simple middle-aged woman, and she was much worse than Feng Man.But there were many rural wives like this in the army back then.

"I've always said I would come and see you, but I just never had time..."

Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Jiang Yuzhu said in her heart that she had never come to see her sister's mother-in-law before, but she only wanted to come after hearing that her sister's mother-in-law was Chen Jinhua's ex-wife.

Listening to Zhang Tongzhi and Chen Yima talking about everyday things with smiles on their faces, Jiang Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable.

Her mother-in-law was usually serious. After she and Zhou Qi got married, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her was better than before, but it was far from amiable.

Zhang Tongzhi and Widow Wang were talking when Li Xiu'e came again carrying something.

This was the fourth time Li Xiu'e came to this door. The first three times were to apologize. The third time she and Huang Zhibiao even escorted Huang Wei over, even though they were reluctant.

Huang Wei had already been beaten by his own father the last time he came here. He looked a little miserable, and when he apologized, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Why are you here too?" Widow Wang was somewhat at a loss.

She considers herself not an important person, just an ordinary woman with little knowledge. Zhang Tongzhi came because her daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law are sisters. The two families have some kind of relationship, but why is Li Xiu'e here now? ?

Li Xiu'e put down her things and said with a smile: "If you don't want to talk to me, why don't you want me to come and see you?"

Widow Wang felt that the food in the pot was not enough and wanted her son to buy a chicken.

Zhang Tongzhi couldn't understand, how did Chen Yima and Li Xiu'e know each other?

When Huang Wei hired people to come to make trouble, both Huang Zhibiao and Feng Man thought it was embarrassing. They would not publicize it to the outside world, and naturally no outsiders knew about it.

After almost half an hour, Li Xiu'e said: "I have to go back to cook quickly. The children have gone home today. When you are free, you can come to our place to talk to me."

Zhang Tongzhi also wants to leave.

Widow Wang naturally wanted to leave someone to eat. How could anyone come here with something and not even give her a bite of food?

Zhang Tongzhi said: "Let Zhou Qi and Yuzhu stay here to eat. I also have something to do at home. I have to work hard when I get back, otherwise his father will be unhappy again."

After sending the people away, Old Man Luo and Liu Wen's family were the only ones left in the courtyard.

It was originally inconvenient for two families to cook, so Mr. Luo had previously invited someone from the alley who knew how to cook a stove to come and get an earthen stove so that both families could cook at the same time.

Zhou Qi knew Huang Wei, and naturally also knew Huang Wei's mother. Naturally, he wanted to ask Chen Yi why Huang Wei's mother came.

Chen Yi said calmly: "Huang Wei hired a cripple to come to the house to cause trouble. We called the police before."

Although he didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop Zhou Qi from despising Huang Wei, "This guy has never been peaceful since he was a child. Apart from hanging around Chen Jiajia, he would gather a group of people to play around on the street without doing anything serious, and he was often beaten by his father. change."

Jiang Yuzhu was very good at grasping the key points, "He has no enmity or enmity with you, maybe it's because of Chen Jiajia, right?"

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "According to the investigation, it is like this." While several people were talking, the jeep stopped. Chen Jinhua did not come in person, but his security guards.

"The leader is still busy. Let me send you something."

Widow Wang doesn't care whether Chen Jinhua is busy or not.

Why, if he wasn't busy, could she let him in for a bite to eat?
She grabbed a few apples and handed them to the guard before sending them away.

The soy sauce at home was at the bottom, Jiang Xinyu was assigned to make soy sauce, and Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly followed her out.

"Your mother-in-law didn't even let you enter the kitchen?" Jiang Yuzhu had never seen her sister cook at her husband's house.

Jiang Xinyu was surprised, "I have to take care of the children, and sometimes I also cook."

After getting married, her mother-in-law did not ask her to do anything on the stove. When she was busy in the village, her conscience found that she would prepare the meals. After she became pregnant, her mother-in-law knew that she was in the wrong and did not let her do anything.

Jiang Yuzhu pouted and said, "As long as Zhou Qi and I go home, all the work on the stove will be mine."

Before Zhou Qi's mother took the initiative to speak, she had to rush to express herself.I just live on campus and don’t go back often.

Jiang Xinyu patted her shoulder, "You still have some time to cook this meal."

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head, "It's nothing to cook. Even if Zhou Qi and I are alone, don't we still have to eat? The trouble is that Zhou Qi's mother loves to preach so much. After I finish washing the pots and dishes, I have to listen to her talk for at least an hour before I go back. I got indigestion once. I told Zhou Qi, and he would only say that he would go back a few times less, but what can I do? When her mother gets angry, why should she not blame it on me?…"

Jiang Xinyu said: "What about Zhou Qi's father?"

Jiang Yuzhu sighed softly, "He doesn't worry much about small things at home."

Jiang Xinyu: "Then your situation is not bad, at least only one of your parents-in-law can restrain you."

It would be a really sad day if both of them had hair at the same time.

Jiang Yuzhu knew that she had reached a high level, so how could she dare to say such complaints to others on ordinary days?After telling my sister, I felt much more comfortable.

Although she has some complaints about her mother-in-law, overall, Jiang Yuzhu is quite satisfied.

Zhou Qi's family all have positions, and their ranks are not low, and the people she interacts with are all people she would never have contact with in the county.

Even if her mother-in-law is dissatisfied with her, the Zhou family will protect her after she graduates. Her future development will be the same. If she and Zhou Qi have children, they will be born in cadre families. They don't have to worry about daily necessities. Her children You can see scenery that you will never see in the countryside. There is nothing better than this.

Liu Wen's family left in the middle of the afternoon. In the evening, Widow Wang cooked a pot of duck, cut the braised beef, and sprinkled the fried tofu with coarse chili powder. The smell was delicious, and the baked egg pancakes Golden apples and moon cakes fill the table.

Beef and tofu were delivered by Chen Jinhua's guards today. In addition to vegetables, they also delivered moon cakes and two special Chinese cigarettes.

The wooden table was placed in the courtyard. When everything was done, Widow Wang asked Duoduo to go in and call her grandpa.

Duoduo went in and ran out after a while, "Grandpa is asleep and I can't wake him up."

Widow Wang had never entered the main room, but she felt something was wrong. Duoduo's voice could be heard outside. How could her father not wake up after shouting?

When they entered the back room of the main house, they heard no snoring or breathing. Widow Wang's heart skipped a beat and she probed his breathing with her fingers.

After this discovery, she trembled in her heart and shouted quickly: "Chen Yi, come quickly, take the person to the hospital quickly."
