Red skirt rules

Red skirt rules

Huo Chengfeng touched his nose awkwardly.

"Say something!" Shi Mingzhu twisted him hard, first twisting his face until it turned red, then twisting his ears, making him grimace, "You always try to deal with me with silence! From now on, when I speak, you must respond!"

How to say it? Huo Chengfeng spoke helplessly, his ears burning again, "I couldn't help myself, I didn't use any force on purpose."

Shi Mingzhu looked at him with a half-smile. Huo Chengfeng said "really" again. He cleared his throat and changed the subject, "You have changed a lot."

"How have I changed?" she asked him back.

He became lively and active, would hit him and scold him. In the past, when he was most angry, he would just sulk by himself, sit there in a daze and ignore everyone.

Huo Chengfeng thought silently without saying anything. He raised his hand and grabbed her hand that was scratching and twisting on him.

Shi Mingzhu pulled her hand back and said, "I just told you that you must respond to me when I speak, but you forgot it in the blink of an eye."

"Get out. I don't want to bother with you anymore." She rolled her eyes and chased him away.

"I, I didn't know what to say just now." Huo Chengfeng explained, and observed her expression. Although she was chasing him away, she was not angry. He thought for a while, "Then I'll go out and buy milk powder for Yangyang."

Shi Mingzhu glanced at him.

He also looked at her without moving, as if waiting for her to speak.

This realization kept turning over and over in Shi Mingzhu's mind. She waited silently for a long time. Seeing that Huo Chengfeng had not left yet, she finally confirmed that he was just waiting for her to speak.

She pursed her lips slightly and finally nodded mercifully.

Huo Chengfeng got permission and promised, "I'll be back soon." Then he left.

After he left, mother-in-law Yu Meizhen came in holding Yangyang.

When Shi Mingzhu saw her, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her father-in-law for a long time. After Yangyang was born in her previous life, he came every day. I haven't seen him for two days now.

She thought about it and soon guessed the reason. She asked Yu Meizhen, "Mom, I want Yangyang to take my last name. Does Dad have any objection?"

She only saw her father-in-law on the first day of giving birth, and then on the second day Huo Chengyu came to make trouble because of the child's surname. So, her father-in-law must have known about Yangyang's surname.

Shi Mingzhu looked at Yu Meizhen. The latter didn't look at her, just hummed, and then said,

"When I was bathing the child yesterday, Chengfeng's father knew that the child had your last name. He scolded Chengfeng for being spineless and said that the grandson of the Huo family could not have the same last name as you. But Chengfeng told him not to bother you, so he left in anger."

Yu Meizhen looked up at her daughter-in-law and said, "He privately prepared several names for the child, but now none of them can be used."

Shi Mingzhu said, "Oh," without any empathy, "The child of Huo Chengfeng and I can of course choose to take my last name. Similarly, your child with your father, Huo Chengfeng, can also take your last name, Yu. Even though he is 25 years old now, he can change his last name to Yu and call himself Yu Chengfeng. It won't be a problem at all."

Yu Meizhen's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Shi Mingzhu in surprise and said, "Mingzhu, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. It's good for Chengfeng to have his father's last name."

Shi Mingzhu said "oh". In her previous life, she went to a big city to do business and opened a shop selling clothes. She met many children with their mother's surname. As the times became more open, more and more people had their mother's surname.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking your father's surname. However, for Shi Mingzhu, she just wanted Yangyang to have the surname Shi.

However, Shi Mingzhu really wanted to know Yu Meizhen's attitude. In her previous life, her mother-in-law agreed with her changing the child's surname.

At first she thought that Yu Meizhen was afraid that she and the children would covet Huo Chengfeng's pension and house, but after she changed her surname, she gave her the pension and some money to buy a house. At that time, her and Huo Chengfeng's wedding room had already been occupied by Huo Chengyu.

Later, her only contact with the Huo family was Yu Meizhen, and when she wanted to see her child, Mingzhu refused to let her. They were like two relatives who were neither too close nor too distant, visiting each other from time to time. All of this was done by Yu Meizhen, and Shi Mingzhu accepted it with peace of mind.

But Yu Meizhen's behavior is actually very annoying. She doesn't offend or favor either side, but she is biased towards both sides. Therefore, for decades in her previous life, Shi Mingzhu always felt that her mother-in-law was a very complicated person. She felt that she should hate her mother-in-law, but she also felt that she should not hate her.

Shi Mingzhu looked at Yu Meizhen with an expectation in her eyes that she herself was not even aware of. She had been waiting for this answer for twenty-five years.

"Mom, then I'll let Yangyang take my last name. Do you have any objection?"

Yu Meizhen sighed deeply in her heart and felt a headache. "What can I say? I don't want to offend my son. If I offend him, he will feel bad. If I offend you, he will feel bad with you."

"What if you offend Dad?" Shi Mingzhu asked. In the previous life, Yangyang changed his surname, so wouldn't that mean he offended Dad?

"I'm going to marry him for the second time, and I'm going to find someone who listens to me."

Shi Mingzhu suddenly understood.

This way, everything in the previous life makes sense.

Although my father-in-law is an old stubborn person with rigid thinking, he is not a feudal remnant.

But, this is only based on the performance in the previous life.

"Mom, please tell Dad that he doesn't want to be the grandson of the Huo family with the surname Shi. From now on, I won't let Yangyang see him, and I won't let him call him grandpa."

“…”

Yu Meizhen frowned. Why did it sound like they were setting rules? Are there any daughters-in-law who set rules for their fathers-in-law?

But Shi Mingzhu looked very serious, and Yu Meizhen was unsure, "Are you serious?"

Shi Mingzhu nodded, "Of course, if he doesn't agree, then don't even think about meeting him again."

She wanted to confirm whether her father-in-law was on the same side as Huo Chengyu. If he was willing to come, it would mean that he could accept it in his heart.

If you don't want to come, your basic attitude is the same as Huo Chengyu's. Huo Chengyu is a madman. Two madmen? She doesn't want to mess with him.

“…”

On the other side, after leaving the hospital, Huo Chengfeng went straight to the mall.

Shi Mingzhu gave birth in the Yanmen County Hospital where his camp was located. There was a large shopping mall in the county town. Huo Chengfeng asked several counters, but in the end only one counter sold milk powder, and there was only one bag left.

Huo Chengfeng bought it without hesitation. The mall is bustling with people, all buying fashionable goods from the southern special economic zones.

The dresses are all colorful. Nowadays, you don’t need cloth coupons to buy clothes, and the clothing counters are crowded with people. Huo Chengfeng stopped and looked for a long time.

There are clothes for both adults and children. He looked at a red dress, which looked very much like the one Mingzhu wore in his dream last night.

As he watched, he couldn't help but walk forward.

As soon as I approached the clothing counter, a smiling salesperson came to greet me.

"Comrade, which one do you like? I'll get it for you."

"We have quite a few men's suits here, all shipped from the south. They're cheap and good-looking! They're very popular, so if you like them, act quickly." The salesperson glanced at Huo Chengfeng and tried his best to introduce them.

Huo Chengfeng was dressed like an intellectual, with a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of well-cut green trousers on the lower body. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a tough appearance. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the man complemented the clothes, not the clothes complemented the man.

The originally noisy counter became a little quieter, and many eyes fell on Huo Chengfeng. The saleswoman knew what everyone was looking at, which was his appearance and clothes.

She wanted to buy a set of clothes from the man in front of her. The clothes on this man were not picky about men or women. She thought that the clothes on Huo Chengfeng must have been bought from the south.

Huo Chengfeng: "I don't want to buy a suit, I want to buy that red skirt." He raised his hand and pointed at the red skirt hanging at the highest point on the wall.

When the salesperson heard this, his smile became even brighter. "Comrade, you have a good eye. This skirt is the treasure of our store. We just brought it back from the south two days ago. Many people have asked about the price in the past two days. I will take it down for you to have a look."

The salesperson moved quickly and took the red skirt off to show Huo Chengfeng, "Comrade, you bought this for your sister-in-law, right? This skirt has a waist design, and the buttons on the upper part are decorative, making the whole skirt simple yet not monotonous. Your sister-in-law will definitely like it."

The salesperson mentioned the waist and buttons, which Huo Chengfeng didn't understand, but he also thought the skirt looked good.

"How much?"

Salesperson: "20 yuan, it's a bit expensive, but it's durable and can be worn on any occasion, for taking photos, dating, watching movies, wedding anniversaries."

Huo Chengfeng nodded. When he heard that it could be worn for taking photos, dating, watching movies, or wedding anniversaries, he thought the price was suitable.

It just so happened that Huo Chengfeng also wanted to take a photo with Shi Mingzhu. After they met and confirmed their relationship, Shi Mingzhu sent him a letter. In one of the letters, there was a photo of her wearing a shirt and trousers. Apart from this photo, he only had their wedding photo.

He wanted to have another one.

Huo Chengfeng took out the money and asked the salesperson to pack it up.

The salesperson took the money with a smile on his face, "Comrade, today is my first day at work. Thank you for buying this skirt. You and my sister-in-law must be very loving. I will give my sister-in-law a gift."

She took out a silk scarf of the same color and said, "Let sister-in-law wrap it around her hair. It will look good!"

Huo Chengfeng glanced at the scarf and nodded.

After leaving the mall, Huo Chengfeng went to the post office again and called his eldest brother to ask him to help buy some milk powder.

After hanging up the phone, I went back to the hospital.

There were only Shi Mingzhu and Yangyang in the ward.

"Where's Mom?"

Shi Mingzhu smiled and said, "I have something to do and I'm going back."

"By the way, where do Dad and Huo Chengyu live now?"

"hostel."

Shi Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "Dad hasn't left yet? Huo Chengyu hasn't left yet?"

"When Dad disagreed with me letting Yangyang take the last name? Huo Chengyu was slapped twice by me, but he still didn't leave?"

Huo Chengfeng nodded, but he didn't want to say more. She took out the milk powder and put it aside, then handed her the newly bought skirt and scarf.

Shi Mingzhu looked at him. Since he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't tell him what her mother-in-law had done.

She spread out her skirt and fell in love with it at first sight. It was obviously a southern product.

"This skirt is beautiful. You have good taste. I will wear it when I am discharged from the hospital."

Huo Chengfeng nodded, and seeing her happy expression, he was also happy.

Shi Mingzhu asked him to lower his head, but he didn't understand why, but he still did it obediently.

Shi Mingzhu put her arms around his neck, and a pleasant fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, a bit like the scent of a baby's milk. The next second, her lips were on his face, and Huo Chengfeng was stunned.

"Why did you think of buying me a red dress?" After Shi Mingzhu kissed the man, she let go of his hand and looked at the dress in her hand happily, leaving Huo Chengfeng standing there bending over without moving.

Shi Mingzhu waited for a long time for Huo Chengfeng to speak, and looked up in confusion, seeing the man like a goose, not moving at all.

With a secret laugh, Shi Mingzhu thought to herself, she came back from the 2000s. The young people at that time were very trendy and open-minded. Influenced by them, she also became very trendy! Huo Chengfeng could not withstand such a bold move.

She reached out and patted his face to bring him back to his senses.

Huo Chengfeng looked at her, and his eyes gradually became more focused.

He reached out and touched the place where he was kissed just now, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and whispered, "Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed about the time when we got married."
