The first time Ruan Xiaotang returned to her parents' home after marriage, she was deeply moved.
The mentality of married and single people is completely different.
Regarding some unhappy things after marriage, she chose to report the good news instead of the bad news.
After all, she and Zhou Xingze will live together from now on.
She should also learn to grow up, mature, and learn to live her own life.
Before she left, her mother Liu Guifang repeatedly reminded her that she must get pregnant within three months, and that the first child must be a boy, so that she would have a golden ticket to immunity from death.
Her mother-in-law may not like her, but how could she not like her eldest grandson?
Ruan Xiaotang didn't refute anything, but just nodded comfortingly.
Disagree but don't directly oppose either.
Zhou Xingze's mother, she really didn't want to lower herself or her self-esteem to please him at all.
Being servile will only make those who hate you look down on you even more.
It's such a hot day, wouldn't it be nice to just lie on the bed and eat a popsicle if she has some free time?
"Wife, wife, Zhao Weiguo's wife has moved in. Let's go and help her now."
"good."
Ruan Xiaotang quickly put the last bite of the popsicle into her mouth, turned over and sat up, put on her sandals and walked out.
She has always been curious about what kind of person Zhao Weiguo's wife is.
"What's your sister-in-law's name?"
Zhou Xingze took her hand and glanced at her sideways. "Old Zhao rarely mentions his wife in front of us, so I don't know her name either."
So tight-lipped?
Could it be that he thinks his wife is a country girl and is not presentable enough and is embarrassing?
If Brother Zhao was really such a person, she would despise him from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you thinking about in that little head of yours?"
The two of them had been together day and night for so many days, and he was still able to clearly see some of her little habits and movements.
When she has something on her mind, especially something bad, she will usually frown, lower her eyes, and stare at her toes.
Now, this girl is staring at her toes.
"No, I'm just curious about whether my sister-in-law is easy to get along with and whether she is pretty."
"You'll know once you go there."
Zhou Xingze took Ruan Xiaotang and walked quickly to the family compound where Zhao Weiguo was.
It is about 500 meters away from my home.
Zhou Xingze pushed open the small green wooden door.
A bare, empty yard of about ten square meters came into view.
Ruan Xiaotang curiously poked her little head out and looked into the house.
"Old Zhao, my family is here, why don't you come out to greet me?"
Zhou Xingze stood in the yard, gathering his strength and shouting towards the house.
"Here I come, here I come!"
A dark-skinned woman, wearing a washed gray shirt and pants and a white towel on her head, opened the door and came out.
His face was filled with a simple smile.
Speaking in northern Shaanxi dialect, he said, "You must be Zhou Xingze, the head of the regiment, right? I am Zhao Weiguo's wife, so you can just call me Sister Hua."
Sister Hua saw that the girl behind Captain Zhou was so pretty, so she took Ruan Xiaotang's hands and greeted her warmly, "You must be Captain Zhou's wife, right? You are so pretty. Look at your big butt. You can definitely give birth. The first child will definitely be a boy."
He was very familiar and slapped Ruan Xiaotang on the butt.
It hurts quite a lot!
Ruan Xiaotang was petrified instantly.
Zhao Weiguo’s wife is such a tiger!
Ruan Xiaotang forced out a faint smile out of embarrassment, and forcefully pulled her own tender little hand back from her chapped hands.
"You should be more polite. This is the city, not our hometown. Don't touch your sister-in-law right away. I'm sorry, sister-in-law. When your sister-in-law saw you, she was too excited. She didn't treat you as an outsider for a moment, and then..."
"It's okay. I like my sister-in-law's carefree and open personality."
Mrs. Hua's face, which had just drooped, immediately showed a bright smile.
She carefully looked at her brother and sister-in-law in front of her. Her big eyes were black and white, clear and transparent, as clean as the river water in front of her hometown, allowing people to see through it at a glance.
Old people often say that people with clean eyes have pure hearts.
This sister-in-law's outspoken personality suits her style.
I couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.
Zhao Weiguo said, "You came too early. The house is in a mess and we haven't had time to clean it up yet. Please sit in the yard first. We will clean up the mess first, and then you can come in."
He took two small wooden stools, placed them in the yard, turned around and took Sister Hua's hand and walked into the house.
"We women are the ones who have to clean the house. Let me do it, brother. You can entertain Captain Zhou in the yard."
Zhao Weiguo still felt bad. How could he let the captain's wife do something as soon as she entered the door? He insisted on stopping her.
"That's enough, Lao Zhao. Let Xiaotang do it. They are both women, so it's easier for them to communicate."
"All right."
Zhao Weiguo handed a cigarette to Zhou Xingze who was standing beside him, and he struck a match and lit the cigarette.
Light another one for yourself.
Zhao Weiguo said, "My wife was born and raised in the countryside. This is the first time she has left the village in her 28 years of life. She has many health problems and doesn't know the rules. She just treated my sister-in-law like that. She should not take it to heart."
Zhou Xingze felt uncomfortable when he heard him calling her a country person. "My wife is also from the countryside. What's the matter, Comrade Zhao? You have a very strong opinion about country people? There are only different divisions of labor in this profession, but there is no distinction between high and low. You need to change your mindset in time."
Zhao Weiguo saw that he misunderstood and quickly explained, "My hometown is in a remote mountain corner. Some elderly people have never stepped out to see the outside world in their entire lives. My sister-in-law is different. Although she is also from the countryside, her home is only about three hours away from Beijing North. It is still convenient for her to go to the city to do things on weekdays. They are both in the countryside, but there are essential differences."
Zhao Weiguo sighed sadly.
I don’t know if the flowers in his house can adapt to the life of city dwellers.
………………
"Sister-in-law, just sit there and take a rest. I can do this job by myself."
Mrs. Hua warmly poured a glass of water and handed it to Ruan Xiaotang.
Looking at the pitch-black cup, my thirst was quenched instantly.
Looking around, I saw several patched cloth bags on the cement floor, filled with unknown things.
There were colorful quilts and mattresses piled on the table next to it.
There were a few farm tools sticking out from the wall.
Digging pick, pickaxe, pig rake, the handles are polished to be round and smooth, and it can be seen that my sister-in-law uses them frequently.
There aren't many things, but they all reveal the simplicity of farmers.
"I'll help you, sister-in-law."
Ruan Xiaotang put down the cup of water and moved into the house with her sister-in-law, carrying the cabinet.
