Chapter 69 Exactly the Same

Because of the fierce quarrel that broke out last night, I didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Su Luoyu woke up early because of the crowing of the rooster in the chicken coop in the backyard.

When I opened my eyes, there was only a dim light outside.

"So early……"

Su Luoyu muttered, turned over and prepared to squint for a while.

But when she looked up, she saw Xu Mingzhe who was half sitting up.

Xu Mingzhe was leaning against the wall at the head of the bed, with a cotton padded jacket stuffed behind him, looking at the opposite wall with his eyes open.

It looked like he had been awake for quite a while.

Su Luoyu put his hand on his waist: "Why did you wake up so early?"

"Can't sleep." Xu Mingzhe said, and patted Su Luoyu's shoulder: "It's still early, you should sleep for a while."

His tone of voice was slightly hoarse.

I also know that it is because of what happened last night, and my heart is heavy.

It's no wonder that Guo Xiumei, who is partial to the Pacific Ocean, is rare in the world.

It will be unpleasant to put it on anyone.

Su Luoyu understood the pain in Xu Mingzhe's heart, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but after thinking about it carefully, this kind of knot in his heart might not be solved for a while, so he had to give up.

After an unknown amount of time, the dazed Su Luoyu woke up again.

Xu Mingzhe has prepared warm water for washing.

After getting up, washing, and tidying up the room, the two went to the main room together.

In the main room, Xu Mingtao was nowhere to be seen. Guo Xiumei, Xu Guoyou and Xu Mingjiao gathered around the stove to keep warm and watch TV.

"Dad, Mom." Xu Mingzhe greeted Su Luoyu.

Guo Xiumei and Xu Guoyou neither raised their eyes nor said anything.

Xu Mingjiao, who was eating melon seeds, rolled her eyelids and gave the two of them a supercilious look.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very awkward.

After a long time, no one moved. Seeing the sun rising, Xu Mingzhe couldn't hold back anymore: "Dad, Mom, don't we want to eat?"

After all, it was my parents, if it was because of last night's quarrel that I was so angry that I didn't eat and hurt my body, as a son, Xu Mingzhe still felt a little distressed.

"Food?" Xu Mingjiao raised his eyebrows and jumped off the stool: "I want to cook by myself, why, you are so big and you expect your mother to cook for you?"

Su Luoyu frowned.

Xu Mingjiao is worthy of being Guo Xiumei's daughter, her violent temper and meanness are almost exactly the same.

Xu Mingzhe also sensed the hostility and stopped talking.

I went to the kitchen and looked around, and found that there was no sign of a fire inside. Obviously, Guo Xiumei was angry and didn't even make breakfast.

It doesn't matter if they don't do it, they have hands and feet, and they don't expect others to cook.

Su Luoyu and Xu Mingzhe quickly fried two dishes, heated steamed buns, and made cornmeal porridge.

The cornmeal in my hometown is all ground from this year's corn, and it smells extra sweet.

"Dad, Mom has eaten, Jiao, go and call your second brother to eat." Xu Mingzhe shouted into the main room.

But several people rolled their eyelids and remained motionless.

It seemed that he didn't hear what Xu Mingzhe said.

Su Luoyu sneered, pulled Xu Mingzhe up and said: "My parents are probably not hungry, forget it, let's go eat first, don't worry about them, they will be hungry later, just eat the rest .”

With that said, he went to the kitchen.

How could Guo Xiumei's aggressive temper make Su Luoyu and Xu Mingzhe eat first, what was left of them?

Immediately called Xu Mingjiao to serve the meal.

Xu Mingjiao dawdled, pursed her lips and reluctantly went.

The breakfast was tasteless. After clearing away the dishes, Xu Mingzhe told Xu Guoyou to go out, and took Su Luoyu to the direction of the old village head's house.

Turning around to do other things, she turned around and found that Xu Mingzhe was gone, and Guo Xiumei stomped her feet in dissatisfaction: "I know how to run around all day long, and I don't know how to help when I go home."

"How can I help?" Xu Guoyou seemed to have nothing to do, he was very puzzled, and asked subconsciously.

"Tomorrow Taozi will meet again, so he can't buy vegetables and sell meat? What, you plan to let me pay the money?" Guo Xiumei felt that Xu Guoyou was simply out of his mind.

Xu Guoyou fell silent, smoking a cigarette.

Here, Xu Mingzhe and Su Luoyu walked slowly towards the old village chief's house.

The old village chief lives in the south of the village, and there is a big poplar tree in front of his house, which is very easy to recognize.

So even though there are new houses in the village in recent years, Xu Mingzhe can always recognize the place at a glance.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Xu Shanshun, the old village head, spreading corn kernels to feed the chickens in the yard, making a "cuckoo" sound to attract the chickens to come to eat.

"Fourth Grandpa." Xu Mingzhe shouted happily when he saw Xu Shanshun.

Xu Shanshun is a senior grandpa in the village, ranking fourth in the family, so Xu Mingzhe's generation calls him fourth grandpa.

Xu Shanshun heard the movement and looked up. It was Xu Mingzhe who came, and he stroked the gray beard on his chin happily: "It's Mingzhe, it's back. This is your wife?"

"Hello fourth grandpa, my name is Luo Yu." Su Luoyu greeted with a smile, and looked at Xu Shanshun by the way.

Just like what Xu Mingzhe described, in his 70s, although he looks thin, he looks tough and energetic, and his face is rosy.

Come to think of it, a childlike face with white hair is a description of a person like Xu Shanshun.

"Good boy." Xu Shanshun laughed, and called inside: "Damn it, Mingzhe is here, prepare two small dishes, and let's have a drink."

Xu Shanshun likes to drink, and usually drinks two or three taels of grain wine every day.

"Don't bother me, I'm just here to talk to Grandpa Fourth." Xu Mingzhe said hastily.

"Hey, why are you being polite? You are a rare college student in our village, and one of the ten villages and eight stores. If you come to talk to my old man, how can you be ashamed?" Xu Shanshun said with a smile , and dragged Xu Mingzhe into the hall.

Cai Juxiang, the fourth grandma who came in with a teacup, muttered, "I don't think you want to invite Mingzhe to have a drink, but you are greedy and looking for a reason to drink."

But even though it was a complaint, there was always a kind smile on his face.

"It's all the same, it's all the same." Xu Shanshun said with a smile.

Cai Juxiang also laughed.

At this age, they are free to bicker, but they care about each other very much.

Su Luoyu suddenly felt that this old couple loved each other very much.

After entering the house to finish cooking, Cai Juxiang poured hot tea one by one, and then went to the kitchen to prepare side dishes for the wine.

Xu Mingzhe chatted with Xu Shanshun.

From the content of the chat between the two, Su Luoyu roughly understood something.

Xu Shanshun has a son and a daughter. The son and daughter-in-law run a supermarket in the county town, and they usually come back once a month. The daughter married into the next county and works in a non-staple food factory in the county town. The son-in-law is also a worker in the same factory.

The son and the daughter have their own children respectively. It sounds like a big family with a very harmonious relationship and a good life.
