Chapter 33: Not Just You, But Me Too
Chi Yue nodded hurriedly, "What kind of good person would look at others like that?"
"that is."
The two of them put their heads together and chirped.
Gu Yanli, who was a few steps away from them, could only hear the noises but couldn't make out what the two were whispering about, and he didn't feel comfortable going over to find out.
I can only follow from a distance.
It was unknown how long the Luo family members stood on the roadside and talked. Anyway, until Wen Tang and his friends arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they did not see any car following them.
However, when they were weighing things in the supply and marketing cooperative, a car whizzed past with a cloud of dust.
The staff of the Dongxi Supply and Marketing Cooperative couldn't help gossiping with Wen Tang and the others, "Which direction did you come from? Do you know where this leader came from?"
"Why are you coming to this little shabby place of ours?"
When it comes to gossip, Wen Tang and Chi Yue are so cute.
Wen Tang immediately leaned against the counter, looking like someone who knows the situation, "You don't know this, do you?"
Seeing this, the supply and marketing cooperative employee tied up the things he had weighed and came over. "Did you know that?"
Wen Tang blinked and nodded, "I tell you..."
Then she vividly described how the rich girl from the city insisted on coming to the countryside.
The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative was shocked after hearing this. "Oh my goodness, is this really asking for trouble?"
Wen Tang winked at the other party and said, "Don't dare say that!"
The female employee immediately covered her mouth with an expression that said, "I know, I know." She even took out a few candies from her pocket and shared them with Wen Tang and Chi Yue. "Luckily I ran into you two, otherwise I wouldn't have known there was such a ridiculous thing."
"The candy is for both of you, don't be disgusted!"
Chi Yue and Wen Tang naturally did not despise them. They thanked them happily and then left the supply and marketing cooperative with their purchases.
The baskets the two men carried for digging wild vegetables were almost full.
Originally, they just came to buy melon seeds, but because they brought Gu Yanli with them, they not only bought melon seeds, but also biscuits, fruit candies, and peach cakes. A small basket was basically filled up.
On the way back, Wen Tang looked at the almost full basket and said to Gu Yanli, "Look, there are too many things in this basket. If we go to dig wild vegetables again, it will definitely not be able to fit in, right?"
Gu Yanli coughed tactically again, then nodded in approval, "Yeah!"
Wen Tang went back contentedly with Chi Yue, carrying a basket of food.
It took about an hour and a half to walk back and forth to the supply and marketing cooperative, at a leisurely pace.
It's not even three o'clock in the afternoon when I get home at this time.
But because it is winter, the sun has lost its heat.
Zhong Meixian sat in the sun, and she sat close to the wall because she didn't like the wind.
She was holding a thick cotton jacket and mending it.
That was Gu Juyuan’s cotton-padded jacket. The weather was getting colder day by day, and he might have to wear it someday, so he always had to mend it first.
Needle and thread in hand, sewing stitch by stitch, looking at the clothes with dense stitches, the old lady thought to herself: I am really good at living, three years of new, three years of old, and three years of sewing and mending. No wonder I was able to raise five children!
As a result, when I looked up, the sky fell.
When Zhong Meixian heard some noise at the door, she guessed that Wen Tang and the others had returned.
I looked up and saw that, yes, I was back.
Wen Tang was a generous child. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted everyone loudly, "Mom, are you sewing clothes?"
Zhong Meixian: Yes, she is sewing clothes!
So she was saving money during the new three years and the old three years, but she was spending lavishly there, right?
"You... didn't you say you were going to dig wild vegetables?"
Wen Tang said honestly, "Yes, Yueyue, Yanli and I didn't see any wild vegetables along the way. We thought if there were none near the brigade, there must be some further ahead, so we kept walking forward, and who knew we'd end up at the supply and marketing cooperative."
When Wen Tang said this, he took out the fruit candy given by the supply and marketing cooperative staff from his pocket, walked over and handed it to Zhong Meixian, "When we get to the supply and marketing cooperative, the people selling things there will give us candy," she pointed at herself and Chi Yue.
"I thought, since they are so polite, I can't just not buy anything!"
Then she placed the entire basket in front of Zhong Meixian and said, "So I bought these things to honor you."
Zhong Meixian "..."
She looked at the basket of melon seeds, candies, biscuits, and peach cakes, and said they were given to her as a gift to show her filial piety?
It would be strange if she believed it!
Holding her breath, Zhong Meixian turned away and said, "I won't eat it. I don't like these snacks."
Wen Tang snapped his fingers immediately after hearing this, "I see, Mom feels sorry for me and wants to save it for me, right?"
Wen Tang was moved when he finished speaking, "They say mother-in-law is not mother, but mother, you are more like my biological mother than my mother from my natal family."
She was so moved that she couldn't speak, but she still said, "Mom, don't worry, when you are old, I will definitely be filial to you, take care of you like I would take care of you during confinement, and cook six meals a day for you."
Zhong Meixian "..."
If she hadn't been leaning against the wall, she would have fainted from the suffocation.
But Wen Tang had a helper who sang the same tune as him. Seeing Zhong Meixian so angry that she leaned against the wall and couldn't speak, Chi Yue was still beside her to make up for it, "Look how moved grandma is. She is so moved that she can't speak."
Wen Tang was quite shameless when he heard this, and he held his head high and said, "Isn't there an old saying, it takes ten years to judge a mother-in-law, and ten years to judge a daughter-in-law? I am willing to be so good to my mother because she is good to me!"
"Look, I bought so many things and my mom didn't say anything."
"Then I must be nice to mom!"
"If that unreasonable person sees me buying things and scolds me, I will definitely not be filial to her."
"Not only is he unfilial, but now that he's old, I'll beat him up every two days and every three days."
"On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we beat the old men. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, we beat the old ladies. On Sunday, we beat them all."
Chi Yue also agreed, "Yes, if you meet someone who is unreasonable, you should punish him if he deserves to be punished."
Zhong Meixian finally freed up some strength and quickly waved her hands, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. If she continued to listen, she would really be angry to death.
When Wen Tang saw her waving, he said, "Since mom left this for me to eat, I'll take it back to the house first!"
She carried the things in one hand and held Chi Yue's hand with the other, and went back to the house.
Gu Yanli was left alone in the yard.
Looking at her son, Zhong Meixian became very excited. She glared at her son and asked, "Can't you hear what she said?"
Gu Yanli also found a stool and sat down, then nodded, "I heard you. When you are old, I will be filial to you and take care of you as carefully as a confinement mother. I will cook six meals a day for you."
Zhong Meixian "..."
"She said that she would give a small beating every two days, a big beating every three days, and the old man would be beaten on the first, third and fifth days, and the old woman on the second, fourth and sixth days. Didn't you hear me?"
Zhong Meixian really wanted to pry open her son's ears to see why his ears were so selective in what he heard.
After Zhong Meixian finished speaking, Gu Yanli said without even raising his eyelids, "I won't just hit you, I'll hit me too."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to his chin to help Zhong Meixian recover her memory.
