It's a bit early for her to get married, she doesn't even have a partner yet.
Because Meng Zhiyu was there, the Zhou family added another dish and a scrambled egg in addition to the usual porridge dumplings and one dish.
After dinner, Meng Zhiyu was in no hurry to leave. He sat in the yard with Zhou's family and chatted. Niu Pozi and Wang Pozi walked in together. Seeing Meng Zhiyu, they said in a loud voice, "Zhiyu, you've been coming to the Zhou family these past two days. When you have time, come to my aunt's house and visit."
Although they haven't seen each other for the past two days, they are very well-informed. The news that Meng Zhiqing and Zhou's mother in the educated youth's yard were learning to make clothes has spread a long time ago. Many people praised Meng Zhiyu for her virtuousness and said that she would definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future.
Meng Zhiyu listened to her two aunts babble with her about the outside gossip and smiled faintly, "Aunt, they all think too highly of me. I'm not the type to stay home to serve my parents-in-law and take care of my husband and children. How can I be considered virtuous? It's just that the weather is getting colder and buying ready-made clothes is too expensive, so I just made a couple of clothes myself."
A good reputation does not necessarily bring any benefits. Instead, it becomes a set of rules and regulations that restrict her behavior. Over time, she will be physically and mentally exhausted, which is not worth the effort.
She wasn't a virtuous person to begin with, so what was the point of having such a bad reputation? Could it be used as food or as a tool? If she wasn't careful, it could easily lead to trouble.
Although Niu Pozi was a sharp talker, she was also a careless person. She didn't understand what Meng Zhiyu meant. But Wang Pozi understood it after a quick glance. "You're right. There are many women in the brigade who want their sons to marry into a virtuous and obedient wife."
"There are so many brigades, isn't it hard to find a virtuous daughter-in-law?" Zhou's mother said. What virtuous? It's because Meng Zhiyu is weak and easy to bully, and her family is not here, so a daughter-in-law like this is easy to control.
Meng Zhiyu did not look good when she came, but I don’t know how she looked better, but she looked better every day. Not only did her skin not get tanned, but it became much whiter and more delicate, and her facial features also grew better.
She also grew taller. In Zhou's mother's opinion, even in the educated youth's courtyard, Zhiyu was among the top three beautiful girls.
"Then let's go find Aunt Li. Although she is taking care of her grandson at home every day, the grandson also needs to eat. Let's go out and open the shop." Mrs. Zhou came over with a big handful of melon seeds and put them on the table. Mrs. Zhou poured sugar water for them.
A few of them gathered together to talk about flowers for a while. As it got darker, Zhou's mother still asked her third son to send Meng Zhiyu back.
"Don't come too early tomorrow. I'll wait for you at the foot of the back mountain." Zhou Songbai walked one meter away from Meng Zhiyu, holding Meng Zhiyu's backpack in his hand, and looked at the road ahead in the moonlight.
"good."
Meng Zhiyu had a dreamless night and slept soundly.
She put on the clothes she had prepared yesterday, washed, cooked and ate.
He took out yesterday's backpack and put in it a pot of spiritual spring water, two washed apples, two white flour buns, a knife for processing prey, and a hoe in case he came across any herbs to dig.
At the same time, Zhou Songbai was also packing his backpack at home. Zhou's mother sat in the yard, watching her son walking around the yard with the backpack. She looked at him again and again and couldn't help but speak.
"San'er, how many days do you plan to stay in the mountains?"
It's not like I've gone hunting in the mountains before, but I've never seen him go to such lengths. He just brought a water bottle and two steamed buns.
"I'll be back in the evening." Zhou Songbai was holding a large leaf, washing it with water and drying it, and adding some of the cooking seasonings from home.
When he came back that night, he had been making such a scene for a few days. Mother Zhou was even more puzzled. "Are you going alone or with your two buddies?"
She knew that the third brother got along well with Ye Shixing, a famous scoundrel in the team, and Qiao Zeshi, a smiling tiger.
She had met those two people before. They were always polite every time they saw her, not like what was said in the team, especially Ye Shixing. Zhou's mother felt that it was probably his stepmother who was behind it.
It's true that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. When the child was a child, his hands and feet were frozen and pus was coming out, but they never took care of him.
It was only because his third son threw a tantrum and borrowed several decades of New Year's money from her on credit to buy medicine for the child, and then wrote her an IOU and asked her to help make a pair of thick shoes, that he was able to survive the winter.
"Sister Meng...Meng and I will go together." Zhou Songbai washed the entire kettle with water before pouring boiled water into it.
Looking at her busy son, Mother Zhou paused for a moment before realizing that Sister Meng was talking about Meng Zhiyu. She walked up to Zhou Songbai, who was pouring water, with a sullen face.
"What evil idea did you have? Why did you want to go to the back mountain with Zhiyu?"
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Zhiyu? Thinking of this, Zhou's mother also asked aloud. Zhou Songbai paused and then continued to work, "No way."
"No way, huh, you're my own son. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know you're talking nonsense." Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Songbai with disdain, then changed her tone and moved closer to her second son, urging him, "Tell me quickly, when did you fall in love with her?"
Seeing Zhou's mother's gossipy look, Zhou Songbai was helpless and pushed his mother away slightly, "Why are you asking this? Just leave it alone."
That girl is still young, and my mother has a good relationship with her. What if my mother doesn't control her mouth and tells the truth, how can they get along with each other?
He planned to wait until she grew up and he would have more money, and then he would tell her his feelings.
After saying that, he put on his backpack and walked out of the door without looking back, walking quickly towards the back mountain.
Looking at her cold and heartless son, Mother Zhou pinched her waist in anger and said, "Humph, if you don't let me take care of it, don't ask me for help in the future."
Walking to the foot of the back mountain, Zhou Songbai found a large rock and sat there waiting. Not long after, he saw Meng Zhiyu approaching from a distance. When she approached, he whispered, "Shall we go?"
