Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 15

Lying flat on the kang with Fang Dachuan, but my mind is full of what Mrs. Zhao said at night. In fact, Mrs. Zhao didn't say much, just let them pay attention to the family of Mrs. Zhao's elder brother and sister-in-law, and be more careful at ordinary times, and don't treat them Let it go.In short, the relationship between Mr. Zhao and them is not good, and the character of Mr. Zhao's family is a bit poor, so Mrs. Zhao explained in advance.

To put it bluntly, she was actually worried about the confused Li Shi, so she repeatedly told Li Shi not to agree to anything about Zhao Shi's family, and let them come to Zhao Shi for everything.By the way, Zhao Shi introduced the names of his elder brother and sister-in-law to Wen Yue and the others: Zhao Mancang and Zhang Cuifen.

Wen Yue thought of Zhao's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help laughing. Fang Dachuan looked at Wen Yue sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yue shook her head: "No, I just thought of grandma's appearance just now. It's the first time I saw grandma being so serious. It seems that the uncle's family is really not easy to get along with."

Fang Dachuan turned his head back again, stared at the low roof and said: "I haven't heard grandma mention their family since I was a child, but I heard it from my father occasionally. It seems that grandpa just didn't have that time. Life was hard, grandma went to ask uncle Jiu for help, but the uncle's family was kicked out by grandma. Later, he had no money for his father's exam, so grandma had the cheek to borrow it again, but the uncle's family only gave Ten pennies, so grandma has been born with my uncle's family from now on. It doesn't matter, how to treat their family, let's do it according to grandma, anyway, I don't like this first meeting today."

"I see, I don't like it either, don't worry, it's not so easy to get cheap from me and grandma. Go to sleep, I'm tired today." Wen Yue murmured.

Compared with Fang Dachuan and his group who were arranged in the south of the village, Zhao Mancang and his group were arranged in the northernmost part of the village. It can be seen that Zhou Lizheng really knows it well.Ever since Zhao Mancang's family came here from Fang Dachuan's house, they all looked at the dusty and dilapidated house with wrinkled faces. From day to night, no one took the initiative to clean it.Until it was too dark to be seen, Zhao Mancang said: "Okay, I've been tired for a few days, let's take a rest early, if there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Lying on the hard kang, Zhang Cuifen said: "Old man, I thought the government gave us quite a lot of silver, but now it seems that there is not much money, I'm afraid we won't be able to save it."

"Why can't you keep it?" Zhao Mancang stared and said, "You silly girl, isn't there Chunmei here? Go ask her for everything you need recently."

Zhang Cuifen frowned, a little confused: "But, I think your sister is quite resentful towards us, can she help us?"

Zhao Mancang closed his eyes, and hummed twice: "She dares not help, since she was a child, she dare not not listen to what I say, my fist can scare her to death. Go to sleep, we will all sleep tomorrow." Go to their house for dinner."

"However, Zhou Lizheng has already delivered the rice and firewood, why should we go over to eat tomorrow?" Zhang Cuifen looked at Zhao Mancang who had closed his eyes, and muttered in a low voice.

"You old lady!" Zhao Mancang sat up abruptly, stared at Zhang Cuifen and scolded: "You let people sleep, what can I do if my brother goes to my sister's house for a few meals? What reason do you want? I'm her brother is the best reason."

Seeing that Zhang Cuifen still wanted to talk, he stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Cuifen and said: "Sleep or not, I will sleep if you don't, don't bother me, I will hear you make a little noise, I will cut you."

Seeing that Zhao Mancang was angry, Zhang Cuifen didn't dare to speak, and lay down beside Zhao Mancang in all clothes.

Zhao Mancang planned very well at night, but he did not expect that all the lazy people in his family would sleep until dawn. Seeing that the sun was about to rise to the middle, there was no movement in their house.The crying of the child and the shouting and cursing of the man suddenly made the house noisy.

Xiao Erfeng looked at his grandson who was crying from hunger, and shouted angrily: "You two lazy women are dead, don't you know how to get up early to get food for the child? See how hungry the child is? Do not cook soon."

Xiao's two daughters-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, but they are unwilling to take this step first. Zhao Mancang knocked his muddy shoes against the wall, and the dried loess clods fell down : "Whatever you do, follow me to your aunt's house to eat."

As soon as they heard that there was no need to cook, and they could eat ready-made food, the Zhao family, who had been sluggish all morning, immediately regained their spirits. They followed Zhao Mancang to Fang Dachuan with a smile on their faces, regardless of the messy hair and the corners of their eyes. home.Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Fang Dachuan's house, General Tie locked the door, and there was no one in Fang's house.

Xiao Erfeng looked back at Zhao Mancang and asked, "Father, do you think my aunt didn't want us to come here, so she locked the door specially?"

"She dares!" Zhao Mancang almost jumped on the spot, turned his head and looked around, trying to find someone to find out where Fang's family was, but he couldn't see anyone.

Of course he couldn't see it. At this time, people are almost busy in the fields. With no herbicides today, how can we get rid of the weeds that compete with the crops for nutrients?Wen Yue also went to the field with lunch and water, how could she stay at home?At this time, Mancunhuang is probably the lazy people of the Zhao family.Even those farmers who came with the Zhao family left their women to clean up at home, while the men went to the fields to see what they could plant.

Waiting and waiting for no one to come back, the Erniu in He Cao's arms was already screaming with hunger. Seeing his son crying miserably, He Cao lost his laziness and said to Xiao Erfeng, "Grandpa, the child is too hungry." , or, let's go back."

Zhao Mancang felt distressed seeing his grandson crying like that. He was already sweating profusely under the sun and he was hungry, so he could only turn around and walk home angrily.A group of people hurriedly followed, only Zhao Tugen kicked Fangda's gate hard before leaving with his small eyes turned.

Back home, Zhao Mancang, who only ate a simple meal, became more and more angry as he thought about it. He dared to turn him away. It's been a long time since he disappeared. Zhao Chunmei might have forgotten how good she is.No matter how he thought about it, Zhao Mancang felt unwilling to take a full afternoon nap, and ran over to Fang's house with his family on his shoelaces.

Wen Yue was secretly admiring the red wedding dress hanging there in the room. She always felt that her craftsmanship seemed to have improved a lot compared to her previous life. She carefully held the dress on her body and compared it a few times. The effect of the Western-style wedding dress is worse.If this was in the previous life, wearing such a wedding gown of good material and embroidered workmanship would definitely cause a sensation.

She was smug in the house, when she heard the door of her house being slapped brutally, she hung up her clothes carefully, Wen Yue came to the courtyard and asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, your uncle, open the door for me quickly."

Wen Yue frowned slightly, how could it be them?What are you doing here at this time?Carefully looking out from the crack of the door, hehe, it turned out that the whole family gathered outside.

Can't open the door, this is the first thought in Wen Yue's mind. She is really afraid that she, a pregnant woman, will not be able to control the scene after these people enter the door. Judging from the performance of these people yesterday, she is not someone who can be assured.

"Niephew, I'm your aunt, open the door quickly." Outside the door, Xiao Erfeng wiped the sweat off his face and continued to pat the door.

Wen Yue didn't make a sound, and quietly went back into the house, letting Zhao Mancang and the others slam the door outside.

"What's the matter? Why don't you open the door?" Zhang Cuifen also felt that something was wrong, for no reason, the door still didn't open after knocking for a long time, it's not that no one was in the room.

She yelled a few more times into the yard at the top of her voice, but there was still no response. The family members who had no idea turned their attention to Zhao Mancang. Zhao Mancang felt that his old face was a little bit tense, and shouted loudly: "Look at what I do, look at what I do? See if I can open the door, keep knocking, I won't believe it, dare not open the door."

Hearing the persistent knocking on the door outside, Wen Yue rubbed her ears, and while embroidering the fan in her hand, she thought that she should open a back door at the new house later.

As the day gradually darkened, the hands of the Zhao family who took turns to knock on the door were already in pain. Seeing that Zhao Mancang was about to give up, the figures of Fang Dachuan and the others finally appeared in their sight.

On weekdays, because the weather is too hot, Fang Dachuan and the others choose to go to the field to weed grass in the morning and evening, and they will deliberately avoid the hottest time at noon to avoid heatstroke.But because they thought that they would have to supervise the masons to come to the house to cook the kang tomorrow, and they would have to work and prepare lunch, so today they decided to stay in the field all day.Fortunately, they were in the cornfield, and when they squatted in the ditch, the corn blocked the light, so it wasn't too hot.

Far away, Fang Dachuan saw a group of people gathered in front of his house. He panicked and hurried over after confessing. When he got closer, he saw that it was Zhao Mancang's family, old and young. Blocking the door, he couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "Uncle, what are you doing?"

When Zhao Mancang saw that Zhao Shi and the others had come back, he regained his energy all of a sudden. He was very disdainful to Fang Dachuan and snorted coldly, as if he didn't want to talk to Fang Dachuan at all.Zhang Cuifen on the one side could understand Zhao Mancang's intentions very well, she pushed Fang Dachuan aside vigorously, and said to Zhao Shi who was walking behind: "Oh, Chunmei, you are back, we are about to be bullied by your grandson-in-law died."

Zhao avoided Zhang Cuifen's outstretched hands, looked at Zhao Mancang and asked, "Brother, are you here for something?"

"You can't come if you have nothing to do? I really didn't expect that the door of your house is quite difficult to enter. When I come to your house at noon, there is no one. When I come in the afternoon, some people don't open the door. What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still growing Do you have a temper that hates the poor and loves the rich?" Zhao Mancang scolded Mrs. Zhao unceremoniously, regardless of the juniors around him.

That's it, from childhood to adulthood, just because Zhao Mancang has a glib mouth and is a man, his eccentric parents will do everything according to his wishes.Every time he did something wrong, he would rely on her, or he would turn the truth upside down and talk nonsense in front of his parents. Since she was a child, she had been injured all over her body because of Zhao Mancang's beatings, and she was often hungry.

But she was born with a stuffy mouth. Even at this age, she would only use quarrels and quarrels to protect her interests, but she couldn't say a word of truth.Old and new grudges gathered together, but Mrs. Zhao couldn't say anything to fight back. She wanted to swear but was afraid of being laughed at. This sense of uselessness made her wrinkled face flush.

But at this moment, Fangda's door was pushed open with a creak, and Wen Yue, who walked out from inside, greeted Zhao Shi and Li Shi with a smile.
