marriage is natural

Chapter 28

On Christmas Eve, although there was no heavy snowfall, but the northwest wind was blowing, no one would go out to buy woodenware on such a cold night, so "Heji Woodenware" closed two hours earlier than usual, and the family of four sat together Shabu-shabu to eat.

Most of the hot pot ingredients are bought.After moving here, the only inconvenience is that there is no yard to grow vegetables, and I have to go to the vegetable market to buy any vegetables, and I don't even want to raise chickens and ducks.

However, when Hemu was moving, she dug out several gaps and cracks in clay pots and big sea bowls, filled them with soil, and planted some chopped green onions and Chinese cabbage.It's a pity that in winter there is little sunlight and no fertilization is applied, so only a few buds are exposed after growing for ten days and a half months.

Hemu also gave up, so she can go to the vegetable market to buy whatever she wants to eat.On the contrary, the fish balls and shrimp balls that are necessary for hot pot are all made by her. Fresh sea fish and sea shrimp are cooked and eaten now, and they taste very good.

Although the fishing pier is only ten minutes away from her home, but because the price is not cheap, fish, shrimp and crabs were not often eaten in the past, and the most bought ones were dried shrimps, kelp, seaweed and the like.It wasn't until He Wei fainted from blood that the couple began to pay attention to their diet. They stopped buying cheap food every day and bought some fresh fish, shrimp, crab, beef and mutton to adjust their taste.

And after He Wei won the grand prize and opened a woodware shop at home, although the average daily income was only 80 yuan, but she was confident enough and her life was stable, and her children were not satisfied with what they wanted to order and eat. are they?

Therefore, when the two children said that they wanted to eat fish balls and shrimp balls, Hemu immediately asked Hefu to get up early and go to the fishing pier to stay. When the fishing boats returned to the port, they immediately picked up the freshest sea fish and sea shrimp. After two days of hard work, I finally chopped these fish and shrimp into puree and made them into balls, and saved them for hot pot at night, and put the rest in the freezer.

The refrigerator is left by the landlord.The landlord's family moved to a new house, and left behind a lot of household appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and large color TVs. Although they are a bit old, they are still usable, which is cheaper for the Hewei family.Because her home didn't have any electrical appliances, oh, except for a small 21-inch color TV.

Now that there are two TVs at home, Father He moved the 21-inch small color TV downstairs to the shop. When he is resting, he can drink a cup of tea and watch news, TV series and so on.Now the whole family sits around to cook hot pot in full swing, and they can even catch a few glimpses of the talent show on TV.

"Boom bang bang-"

Just as the four members of the He family enjoyed the delicious and fresh hot pot meal happily, the store door was knocked loudly.

"Who could it be? Knock on the door at this time of cold weather..." He Mu muttered and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"I'll open the door." He Xidong reacted the fastest, put the freshly scooped mushroom meatballs into his mouth, and trotted to open the door.

"Second uncle? Second uncle? Brother Xinxin?"

After being dazed for a moment, He Xidong hurriedly got out of the way, invited people from outside to come in, and shouted to the back room: "Dad, Mom, it's the second uncle's family."

"Second brother? Second sister-in-law?"

Seeing the three people entering the room and the two suitcases at their feet, Father He and Mother He moved away from their chairs and stood up. They couldn't react for a while. They really didn't expect the second child's family to come to their house. Still in this northwest wind blowing night.

"But what's going on in my hometown?" Hemu asked tentatively.

"It's okay, it's just the three of us. I don't come to Qingshi to do business. I didn't finish my work. I wanted to find a hotel to stay. I don't know what kind of Christmas Eve it is. All the restaurants in the city are full. The third son, your family is in Qingshi, so you came here, didn't you bother you for dinner, right?" The second aunt of the He family smiled enthusiastically, pushed her back to her seat by pushing He Mu's shoulder, and saw the hot pot on the table And the ingredients, praised: "The hot pot is good, it's hot, and it can keep out the cold."

"Have you eaten yet? If you haven't, sit down and eat together. Dongzi, go upstairs and move two chairs down."

When Mother He heard that she came to Qingshi to do business, and not something happened in her hometown, both Father He and He breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked the three of them to sit down.

The dining table that Father He built himself was a little bigger than the usual round table, and even if you squeezed in, seven people could sit down.

The steaming hot pot dispelled the chill, and after taking a few sips of the soju that Father He poured for him, the second uncle of the He family started talking: "Oh, third child, I should have listened to you back then, and went to Haicheng to get rid of this mess. Bring the boy back, look at what he has done, it really embarrasses our old He family..."

"Eat as soon as you eat, what are you talking about!" The second aunt of the He family suddenly changed her face, glanced at her son, and nudged her husband sitting next to her with her elbow, signaling him to be careful when he speaks, and don't say anything, I really want to Make your son ashamed to see others?

Uncle He was drunk, and he didn't know how to measure. He pointed his chopsticks at his son and scolded: "You brat even did such a bastard thing, why are you afraid that I will say it? Besides, the third child is not an outsider, so what? Why can't you say it?! When he called me back then, I should have listened to him and went to Haicheng to feel the bottom of this dead boy."

After scolding his son, he scolded his wife: "It's not what you said, it's easy to ask on the phone, but he told you the truth on the phone? Isn't it full of lies. What can I say? Huh?"

After scolding his wife, he turned back and continued to scold his son: "Stinky boy! You are not small. I spent so much money to send you to Haicheng No. [-] High School. You are fine. You can't read well, and you will only cause trouble for me. This time it is even more exaggerated. It even caused people's lives... Prodigal bastard! If you really have the ability, don't be discovered by your school, don't be expelled!"

The more he scolded, the more he got angry, He Er Bo hurriedly got up and pulled away the chair, grabbed his son's ear and wanted to beat him to death: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard! Why do you say it's embarrassing to go back to Hejiabu? Don't tell me if you think it's embarrassing!" There are so many moths!"

Uncle He is tall and burly, and he has two completely different physiques from Father He's thin body. He Xin, who is 1.7 meters five, looks like a little sheep in front of him, and he obediently allows him to beat and scold him.

What's more, he complained about this matter, and he knew that he had overdone it. After all, he blamed the girl in the liberal arts class for dragging him to the small woods next to the school's big lawn to whisper during evening self-study, and was picketed by the school. The teacher of the team properly grasped the current situation.

It's not that He Xin dissatisfied with the school's decision to drop out. One must know that the reason why Haicheng No. [-] High School is famous in the whole province is not only the high enrollment rate, but also the strict school spirit.Now that students in the school have such incidents, if the school does not kill others to make an example, then it is not the style of Haicheng No. [-] High School.

What he complained about was the one who caused him to stumble.

But no matter how unwilling he is, he was the one who was arrested. At this time, it would be unlucky to replace anyone.

He Xin drooped his head, Ren He's second uncle beat and scolded him, neither fighting back nor talking back, it made the second aunt of the He family who was born to him in October of her pregnancy feel so distressed to death.

"Okay, He Jiankang, stop it quickly! Why are you still fighting? The co-authored son was not born to you, right? He already knew he was wrong, why are you still holding on to this matter? You are such an old man , what can't be said properly, I have to scold and beat like this..."

The second aunt of the He family yelled and threw herself in front of her son, trying to prevent her husband from doing anything again.

He's father and mother, who were stupefied, also came back to their senses at this moment, one stopped He Erbo, and the other pulled He Xin over, letting him sit between He Xidong and He Wei.

Seeing that He Xin's ears were red and swollen from twisting, and there were several red palm marks on his face, He Wei got up and brought some crushed ice cubes from the freezer compartment, wrapped them in a dry towel, and let He Xidong Apply it for him.

He Xidong took the towel bag, touched his nose a little guilty, after all, he was the one who let it go.But according to the meaning of the second uncle's words, my father once called to remind them that the second uncle and his wife didn't feel at ease. After the cousin prevaricated, he continued to mess with the relationship between men and women at school, but was discovered by the school and was expelled from school.

Glancing at the two suitcases at the entrance, and then glanced at He Xin indiscriminately, He Xidong sighed in his heart: You must be so ashamed.

After such a story, the second aunt of the He family wanted to hide it but couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to focus on her son's matter.

In fact, the Hewei family didn’t understand what happened when they heard this. Father He spent a few dollars renting a public phone to remind Uncle He about He Xin’s matter. It’s just that Uncle He didn’t believe his son would do that kind of thing at the time. After being encouraged by the second aunt, she made a symbolic phone call and asked about his son's recent situation. He Xin said that everything was fine, and that what he said to He Xidong at that time was purely false. The nature of the joke, the couple believed it, and they still blame Hefu for being poor.

Unexpectedly, after more than a month, I received a notice of withdrawal from the school. The written reason was that I had been absent from classes without reason for a total of [-] periods, refused to change after repeated persuasion, and had a bad influence; It's just that both of them are students of their own school. If it spreads, it will damage the reputation of the school and the reputation of the students in the future, so they will be leniently dealt with.

Because the school learned privately that it took only one year for him to go to Haicheng No. [-] High School.

However, regarding the latter matter, it cannot be said that He Xin provoked it. He and the girl just happened to be dating when the girl's parents found out and forced her to suspend school.

This is a black pot...

But regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the news of dropping out of school is enough to reach the ears of the He family's second uncle and his wife.

The son who devoted himself to providing for him, the son who has always been proud of him, actually did such a thing that corrupted the family style, and when he became angry, Uncle He really wanted to slap him to death.But calm down and think about it, what can I do?The couple are just such a baby bump, and they have raised them until they are 17 years old. Isn't it themselves who are beaten to death, disabled, and distressed?

But just turning back to Hejiabu to study, not to mention the son's refusal, the couple would also feel embarrassed.At the beginning, he sent his son to Haicheng No. [-] High School with such great fanfare, but within a year, he came back in despair. Even though the reason was hidden from outsiders, but within a year after sending him out, he returned to his hometown high school. It's a fact, I feel somewhat dull on my face.

The second aunt of the He family had an idea to find a high school in Qingshi, let her son borrow it, and then go back to her hometown after the college entrance examination.

But it’s not that easy to transfer schools temporarily. No, the couple spent a whole day traveling around, spending money and giving gifts, and finally settled on a school. It doesn’t matter whether the enrollment rate is high or not. Let’s just send our son there. The formalities can only be done tomorrow. He Erbo’s car was borrowed by a friend to make a wedding car two days ago. It’s embarrassing to ask for it temporarily. The couple took the bus to Haicheng, and from Haicheng to Qingshi took the Intercity trains, it’s late at night, so you can’t drag your suitcases to catch the late trains. You have money in your pocket, and there are so many hotels in Qingshi, so you won’t even have to find a place to live. less than.

It turned out to be a coincidence. There were many people who came out to play on Christmas Eve, and some scenic spots held promotional activities, which led to the vigorous development of the hotel industry. The family of three found seven or eight hotels, and the soles of their feet were blistered There are star-rated standard rooms, not even a second-class general shop, only a few presidential suites with extremely high prices.Spending tens of thousands of yuan for one night, the couple He Erbo, who are more than well-to-do, would not be willing to part with it. When they were frowning, they thought of He's father's family.

On the way here, the second aunt of the He family told her again and again not to leak anything about her son, but to come to Qingshi to do business, stay overnight, and leave early tomorrow morning.Uncle He naturally thought the same way at the time, who would have thought that after drinking a few cups of yellow soup, he just vomited out the beans from the bamboo tube.The second aunt of the He family was so angry that she was in a bad mood.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, He Xidong winked at his sister, and the brother and sister smiled knowingly.

The second aunt must be very angry, her family and the elders have always ridiculed and run on her family from a high position, has there ever been a time like this when she is surrounded by her family to watch the fun?
Therefore, Feng Shui turns, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, no one can guarantee that those who live in Hedong will live in Hedong for the rest of their lives, and they may be washed away to Hexi at any time. It is up to you whether you want to go or not.Therefore, stay on the front line in everything, don't squeeze others too much when you are proud, and don't feel that the sky is falling when you are frustrated.
