farmer's little girl

Chapter 126 The Death of the Zhuang Family
Wang Yao raised her eyes and saw Mei Zhuangyi standing by the door, subconsciously stuffing the things in her hands behind her back.

"You came?"

Mei Zhuangyi nodded.

"How are things going?" Wang Yao asked.

Without the soles in her hands, she seemed to be back to normal.Although her dress was slightly different from before, the way she spoke and the way she sat was no different from before.

Mei Zhuangyi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt that it was not so strange.

"My family agreed." He didn't mention the shock caused in the family when he went back and said that he wanted to get married.Her mother happily wiped away her tears, saying that he finally became sensible, and even his father looked relieved.Afterwards, his family had no objection to him marrying Wang Yao's sister-in-law.

Wang Yao is not surprised by this result, because he always has a way to do what the person in front of him wants to do. : "Then we—"

"When do you think you will come to my house to discuss the marriage?" Wang Yao is from the south, and the Mei family is in the north. It is impossible for the old couple of the Mei family to go to the south. Naturally, Wang Yao's "brother Wang Yao" is needed to come forward in person. .

"Anytime."

After chatting for a few words, the two made a decision to go to Mei's house to discuss their marriage tomorrow.Mei Zhuangyi stayed at Zhou's house for one night, and went home the next day with Wang Yao, who had resumed her men's attire.

Things went smoothly, although Liu was a little surprised at her son's sudden decision to marry Wang Yao's sister, after all, she wanted her son to get married, so she didn't say much.

After the matter was settled, Wang Yao began to prepare a dowry for herself.

The excuse to the outside world is to make a dowry for the younger sister, but in fact only the insiders know what it is.

Mrs. Mei was also very surprised when she found out that her younger brother was going to get married, but her mood was the same as Mrs. Liu's, so naturally she could only be happy.

The days passed day by day, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the whole Zhou family seemed very happy, because today is a good day for Mei Zhuangyi and Wang Yao to get married.Wang Yao has no relatives in the north, so she can only choose a nearby place to marry.It just so happened that she had been living in the Zhou family, so she chose to marry from the Zhou family.

As early as more than ten days ago, several burly men came to the Zhou family, all of them were fierce and fierce, making it difficult to understand the real details.They look like ordinary people in their clothes, but if you look at their expressions and eyes carefully, you can see that they are different from ordinary people.

These people are Wang Yao's direct descendants, headed by Uncle Fan, who traveled thousands of miles to marry Wang Yao.

On the day of the day, Wang Yao was sent to take a bath early in the morning.When Quanfu came to comb her hair in the afternoon, Lu Jiaoyue was not there. To be honest, she didn't appear in front of Wang Yao all day because she was afraid of getting angry because of her filial piety.

Quan Furen was combing Wang Yao's hair, Liu Cuilan brought Tao Ya inside to help, Lu Jiaoyue hid in the room, feeling like a cat scratching her heart, she just wanted to see what Wang Yao looked like in her wedding dress.

She was sitting on the kang playing with Dian Dian, while looking out the window from time to time, at this moment there was a sudden noise in the east chamber, followed by a rush of footsteps, Wang Yao came out from the east chamber, behind her Liu Cuilan, mother and daughter, and Quanfuren followed anxiously.

"Oh, girl, the bride's feet can't touch the ground before she leaves the house."

Wang Yao turned a deaf ear and walked to the window in a few strides.

"you……"

"You know what I do. I never shy away from this. Please help me to see it. Does it look good?"

Wang Yao, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, stood under the eaves, dazzling like a burning flame.She seemed to be doing this kind of makeup for the first time, and she seemed a little unaccustomed to it. From time to time, she wanted to touch her face with her hands, but she didn't dare to touch it.

Quan Furen has a very good vision, and he didn't force Wang Yao to apply white makeup powder, but let her show her natural complexion.The thick and dark sword eyebrows have been trimmed, but the original shape has not been damaged, but the surrounding hairs have been trimmed to show a beautiful outline.A thin layer of rouge was applied to the well-shaped lips that were neither thin nor thick.

Just by moving her face twice, her appearance changed drastically, with a little less masculinity and a little more femininity.

"So lovely!"

Wang Yao smiled, she knew that Lu Jiaoyue would not lie to her, so she nodded and left, coming and going like the wind, just like her usual personality.

At dusk, Mei Zhuangyi came with a procession to welcome his relatives.

Wang Yao was wearing a red wedding dress, and Uncle Fan personally presented her in a sedan chair.

"You must be nice to Yao'er, boy, otherwise we, the eighteen heroes of Hutou Mountain, will not be able to spare you!" Uncle Fan threatened Mei Zhuangyi in a low voice when he straightened his waist.

Obviously being threatened, Mei Zhuangyi had the urge to laugh.

Returning the eighteen heroes of Hutou Mountain, what a lovely old man!
He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will treat Yao'er well."

Uncle Fan nodded and stepped aside.

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and the beating of gongs and drums, the welcoming team gradually moved away, bringing hope and a better tomorrow.

Wang Yao came to Zhou's house when she came back, because Uncle Fan and others still live in Zhou's house.

Early in the morning, Uncle Fan seemed to be out of his mind. He walked around the yard a few times, and from time to time he tossed the men who came with him.For a while, they were asked to help carry water, and for a while, they were asked to clean the yard. The yard, which was already very clean, was cleaned over and over again, and washed with water, so bright that people could be seen.

Lu Jiaoyue stood in front of the main room with a funny face, and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Fan, don't worry about it, my little uncle and the others will definitely come later, you should come and have breakfast first."

Uncle Fan is a short, middle-aged man. If you look at his physique, you really can't tell that he used to be a robber.But with his physique, those burly men who insisted on bringing him were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe in front of him.

These days, Uncle Fan and the others have also become acquainted with Zhou Jin and his wife, especially seeing that Lu Jiaoyue is really good to Wang Yao, he is also very grateful that this little woman can point Wang Yao to some things that women should know, so he is very grateful to her. Lu Jiaoyue was very amiable.Even Zhou Jin's acquaintances whom he has met several times rarely get him good looks, but he is very kind to Lu Jiaoyue.

"Yue girl, I guess you are quite tired too. Those little brats can eat and stuff themselves, and it takes a bit of effort to feed them."

No!Uncle Fan and his party came with eight people, except for Uncle Fan, all of them were big men.Uncle Fan wanted to bring a few more capable people to help them when the time came, but he didn't know that it would be okay to let these few go to rob houses, but let them do the wedding, everyone was really blind.

Fortunately, there are still Lu Jiaoyue and Mrs. Mei. Now Mrs. Mei has to take care of her grandson and is busy with some trivial affairs at home, so she has no time to help.But when she moved her mouth, Lu Jiaoyue made a move, Zhou Jin, Fan Shu and the others fought, and the matter of Wang Yao's marriage was handled properly.

This group of people lived in Zhou's house, so they also lived in Zhou's house for daily food and clothing.There is no shortage of places to live in the Zhou family. Just find two vacant houses. There are kangs in the house. One kang can sleep four or five people, and two kangs will solve the problem.But the problem of eating was a big problem. These people were not good at cooking, so Lu Jiaoyue and Mrs. Cheng naturally did the cooking.The two of them are busy all day long, just to fill the stomachs of these people.

Hearing that Uncle Fan said that he could eat and stuff himself, the men beside him who were trying to pretend to be invisible were all very embarrassed.Is it wrong to eat this?With their physique, which one can eat and drink.

Seeing this, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help laughing, "How come, the meals are easy to cook, as long as everyone doesn't dislike it."

"What do you dislike, as long as you can eat it." Uncle Fan walked towards this side with his hands behind his back, and reprimanded him, "Why are you standing there and let people wait on you!?"

Before the words were finished, these men swarmed into the stove, almost scaring Cheng Cheng who was serving the meal to death.She lifted the lid of the steamer, and soon the steamed buns were gone.

Yes, steamed buns, now the Zhou family eats steamed buns every day.

It is because steamed buns are easy to make, and after the noodles are ready, they are steamed directly on the stove.Rice is also simple, but the key to eating rice is cooking. So many people cooking is a big problem.If you only eat steamed buns, you can finish the meal with some porridge and some pickles.Or you can replace the porridge with soup, it's easy anyway.

They drank porridge and ate steamed buns, but these guys ate until the birds could fade out of their mouths. The key point was that they couldn't complain, otherwise they would be reprimanded by Uncle Fan, and they could eat whatever they wanted!But the key is that they must be able to do it.

Someone suggested going to the village to touch some chickens for a tooth sacrifice. These people were not good at cooking, but roast chickens were no problem.But as soon as the words came out, he was beaten by several other people.Before leaving, Uncle Fan repeatedly told them to keep a low profile, and if they ruined the boss's reputation, they would wait to eat shit!
So, if you don’t want to eat shit, let’s eat steamed buns.

These few people squatted in the yard and ate casually, while Uncle Fan ate with Zhou Jin and his wife in the house.The three of them gossiped while eating, and the meal was dismissed.

As soon as the table and chopsticks were packed for dinner, someone reported outside the door.

"Uncle, the boss and the boss man are here." It was a man named Cai Gouzi who reported.This man is quite tall, but he is a little silly, and he can always make some jokes.

"What's the boss? Can he talk?" Fan Shu scolded.

Cai Gouzi immediately scratched his head and said, "Uncle, the girl and uncle are here."

"That's about the same." Uncle Fan nodded in satisfaction, and went out with Zhou Jin and his wife.

Outside the door, the mouths of several men standing in a row were wide open, and their jaws almost didn't fall off.

Not for anything else, it's really because their boss is wearing women's clothes, it's fine to wear women's clothes, and there are a few gold hairpins on his head.

Wang Yao's face turned red with embarrassment, looking at Lu Jiaoyue and the others, Mei Zhuangyi couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

It's not that Wang Yao changed her style as soon as she got married, but that her mother-in-law was too enthusiastic.On the second day of marriage, the daughter-in-law was offered tea, and the mother-in-law gave her a golden hairpin.In the past two days at her husband's house, she felt her mother-in-law's meticulous care and care.From whether she is used to eating northern dishes, to how she dresses so plainly.

Before Wang Yao got married, Lu Jiaoyue helped her make some clothes suitable for the newlyweds, but the key point was that she really couldn't wear the kind of red and purple clothes.

Before going to serve tea, Wang Yao was entangled in the room, and finally decided to choose an indigo dress.This set of dresses was made by Lu Jiaoyue for her. Wang Yao couldn't wear bright colors, so Lu Jiaoyue specially helped her make some suits for her.

Wang Yao has never worn women's clothes since she was so old, but she does not reject this kind of clothes. First of all, the clothes are plain and not embroidered with any flowers and plants. The style is simple and elegant, and it was made by Lu Jiaoyue according to her figure.Secondly, the color is the dark color she usually wears.

But how can a new wife wear such a dark color?When serving tea, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything at the time, but afterwards she was very considerate and asked her if she didn't have time to do it, and said that if she didn't do it, she would help her get out, and the new wife should always be more festive.

Wang Yao repeatedly nodded and said yes, and took out the clothes to prove it, and then naturally changed it as Liu Shi wished.

She wore such clothes in front of people, and she changed them immediately when she returned to the house, but today, when she returned home, there was no place to change her clothes, so she appeared in front of everyone in a fancy dress.Including her hairstyle today, Liu Shi helped comb it.

In the past two days at Mei's house, Mei Zhuangyi often secretly caught and laughed at her.Wang Yao endured it several times, seeing him laughing at her like this in front of Uncle Fan, she felt angry and embarrassed.

But it's not easy to show it in front of people, so I can only squeeze his waist when people are not paying attention.

This twist, almost made Mei Zhuangyi cry.

He was born as a foreigner's Kung Fu practitioner, but it's not something a rogue like him can resist.

"What's wrong with you, little uncle? Why is your face so blue?" Lu Jiaoyue asked concerned.

Mei Zhuangyi shook his back and tried to hold back, "It's nothing, I just twisted my waist last night when I slept."

He thought his excuse was a good one, but it would have another meaning if it fell into people's ears.

Seeing his niece coughing lightly to change the subject, Zhou Jin looked at him with an understanding expression on his face, and Uncle Fan's obscenely gratified and excited face, Mei Zhuangyi almost had the urge to rush out on the spot.

Where do these wretched bastards go!

Only Wang Yao still looked confused, and some of them couldn't understand why these people were like this.It was several years later that when she chatted with Lu Jiaoyue, the two mentioned what happened today, and Wang Yao, who was a real adult daughter-in-law at that time, understood the meaning of this.

Of course, this is another story.

The newlyweds, Mei Zhuangyi and Wang Yao, planned to go out without staying at home for long.

The excuse for the Mei family is that the couple really have such a good relationship, and neither of them can do without the other, especially since Wang Yao is a businesswoman, and she often traveled with her brother to and from the north and south in the early years, so there is no fear of bumps and drifts. the difficulty of suffering.

Although Mrs. Liu lamented that this daughter-in-law was different from ordinary people, it was hard for her to say anything because her son liked her.In fact, she also understands in her heart that her son has a temperament that can't stay at home. If he really finds a girl from an ordinary family and comes back, he will run outside all year round, and his daughter-in-law will stay alone in the house, which will also harm her daughter-in-law. .

This is fine now, and it can be regarded as a husband singing and a wife following.

Zhou Jin also plans to go out this trip. Now that their business is developing and they are short of manpower, although he wants to stay at home with his wife and raise a daughter, he really has no face to let the newly married Mei Zhuangyi and his wife work outside. He lives leisurely at home by himself.

The three of them were ready to go out and were about to leave when something happened.

Someone came from Hanjiazhuang, saying that the Zhuang family was dying, and asked Zhou Jin to go there.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Zhuang's whole person has become unrecognizable.

Half of her hair was torn, and the wrinkles on her face were fine and dense. The most surprising thing was her demeanor. She looked old and her energy was gone.

It's like an old tree root that's almost decayed.

It is indeed rotten, Zhuang's appearance is very weak, if it is not for the chest heaving when lying on the kang, it really makes people think that the person is gone.

"What did you do to my mother?"

Zhou Jin shouted violently, grabbed Han Laoshuan who was sitting huddled in the corner of the kang, and punched him down to the ground.

Han Laoshuan struggled to get up from the ground, and laughed strangely twice, "I didn't do anything to her. I served her with delicious food and drink every day. She didn't want to live anymore!" The last sentence, He said it in a voice that almost screamed.

He was very excited and rushed to the kang to shake Zhuang.

"Where am I sorry for you? You want to punish me like this. I will help you raise your son and daughter. I will protect you and let you go. How can I be sorry for you? You just hate me so much?"

Seeing that Huang couldn't wake up Mrs. Zhuang, he laughed twice and said, "Don't you want to see your son? I called your son here. If you don't open your eyes, you won't be able to see him."

I don't know if his words played a role, or if Zhuang Shi still has memories of this world, Zhuang Shi who has been in a coma has slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Zhou Jin, she blinked and smiled very weakly.

"Come in..."

"mother!"

"Is Yue'er here? And my lovely little granddaughter..." Her voice was so small that if she didn't hold her breath to listen, she really couldn't hear it.

"Here we come." Zhou Jin suppressed the gurgle in his voice, and turned sideways to let Lu Jiaoyue, who was holding a little bit, appear in front of Zhuang's eyes.

Seeing people seemed to be a bit difficult, Zhuang Shi took the effort to open her eyes wide, and seeing the two identical beautiful faces, one big and one small, she smiled, very relieved and hearty.

Lu Jiaoyue burst into tears.

She choked up and said: "Mother, you are not happy here, let's go home. Diandian is still young, this is the second time seeing grandma. Diandian, your name is grandma..." She gently shook the daughter in her arms, and Diandian Looking at the old woman in front of him, he was a little scared and also a little strange. Is she an obedient and good child, or did she yelp softly.

Zhuang's smile widened, and he let out a soft hey.

"Mom, you look so cute. My mother is busy taking care of her grandson now, and she can't control me. No one takes care of me. Now I can walk, and I fall like a mud monkey every day. You can be a grandma." We can't ignore our granddaughter..." Lu Jiaoyue trembled her voice, and said urgently: "You see, Brother Jin and I are going to have another child, and no one can help us. Come home with us, and help us look after the children in the future. .”

When Lu Jiaoyue said something, Mrs. Zhuang nodded her head. She didn't say anything until she had nothing to say, then she said softly: "Mother is getting old, I'm afraid I can't help you..."

"What old age? You're only under fifty. Come on, come home with me!" Zhou Jin said, and was about to help Mrs. Zhuang. His tone was very fierce, but his hands couldn't stop shaking, which were obviously as big as palms. , the arm is so strong, but it can't support Mrs. Zhuang no matter what.

Mrs. Zhuang's skinny hand was tightly clutching her son's arm, her face suddenly flushed, and she looked very excited: "Jin'er, mother has something to tell you, mother is sorry for you, sorry for you and your sister. Please allow I will call myself a mother for the last time, my mother has done a dereliction of duty... I promised your father that I will live with you and watch you marry wives and have children, but there is nothing I can do..."

That day is still fresh in Zhuang's memory——

She hates herself a lot of times, why should she be so negligent?
There was not much food left, but the man lied to her that she had eaten it, and she always believed it.It wasn't until that day that she realized that from the beginning to the end, the man ate grass, tree roots and soil behind his back, but saved the only food he had for her and a few children.

Obviously he can survive, he is a man, he can always last longer than her woman, but he left like that, not long after the little daughter left.She knew that he couldn't hold on, otherwise he would take her and the child to carry on.Not only was he unable to hold on in his heart, but he was also unable to hold on physically. He was exhausted.

Before leaving, she promised him to live a good life with the two children, and to live forever.

But she wished she could die.

In fact, as early as that day, Zhuang Yongmei died, and died that night, and the one who survived for more than ten years was just a walking corpse.

"Why didn't you do it? Our family has survived now. My sister is married, and my brother-in-law treats her very well. Xiao Baozhu is very smart and obedient. My sister sent a letter saying that she was pregnant again. Now I am married too Yes, Jiaoyue is a good daughter-in-law, my daughter is smart and cute, and Jiaoyue and I will have many, many children in the future, and you won’t be able to hold your grandchildren in the future..." Zhou Jin babbled, he didn't know that he What he was talking about, he just said it subconsciously, because he knew that as long as he kept talking, his mother would definitely listen and keep listening.

Mrs. Zhuang also kept listening, laughing and nodding while listening, as if all her energy had recovered.

Zhou Jin was very happy, so he talked more, and even talked about many things from the past.Only Lu Jiaoyue, who was behind him, trembled uncontrollably, because she could see the abnormal gray on Zhuang's face.

Zhuang patted Zhou Jin's hand and stopped his rambling.

"Jin'er, I'm tired..."

Zhou Jin was taken aback, "Mom, take a rest when you're tired, and I'll take you home right away."

"Jin'er, mother is tired, mother is going to find your father... Be good, don't cry..."

Be good, don't cry.This sentence brought Zhou Jin's memory back to many years ago. At that time, he was very young and very naughty. When he got into trouble and was beaten by his father, his mother would always tell him that...

After saying this with a smile, Mrs. Zhuang slowly closed her eyes, kept holding on to her son's hand, which also slipped on the quilt.

"Mother?" Zhou Jin's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing Mrs. Zhuang.

"mother!"

"mother!"

Lu Jiaoyue burst into tears, "Brother Jin, don't shake, mother, she's gone."

"mother--"
