Zhuang Zhixi took a bite of rotten melon and felt eager to go home on his way home from get off work.
Really, there are some things I know but cannot say, and this feeling is so suffocating. Zhuang Zhixi can't wait to go home. At this time, he can only go home to his wife and eat melon seeds to talk about it properly.
He strolled home, Mingmei hadn't finished getting off work yet, he sighed: "Why hasn't my wife come back yet?"
Zhao Guihua and the others had already dispersed and went home to cook. She glanced at her son and said, "Her workplace is farther away than yours. But you, why are you back so early?"
Although the three members of the Zhuang family worked in the same factory, they rarely went to and from get off work together. They usually went their own way. But Zhuang Zhixi was the first to come home. She glanced at her son and said, "You look like this. What do you know now?"
It is true that no one knows a child better than his mother.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed, picked up his son and kissed him, then kissed Xiao Yuanyuan without missing a single one, and said, "You really understand me."
Zhao Guihua chuckled and said, "Stop pretending. Everyone knows who is who."
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhuang Zhixi came to his mother and muttered a few words. He couldn't tell others about this, but he trusted his mother and his wife. Zhao Guihua frowned and shook her head as she listened to him. She felt very uncomfortable.
What is going on?
She said, "Really..."
I didn't know how to describe it for a moment, but I said bluntly, "Tao Yuye is really terrible."
She originally thought that she was just a little vain girl, but now it seems that appearance is not the best way to judge a person. However, she had never heard of any scandals about Director Chen in her previous life. Of course, the previous life and this life are really different. Just because there was no problem last time doesn't mean there will be no problem in this life.
She didn't dare to think about this life with the thoughts of her previous life.
A little bit of the butterfly effect may make people different.
She said: "Don't mind their family affairs, it's not disgusting enough."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "Why should I care? They are people, I am me, we have nothing to do with each other. Do I have time to spare? Why should I mind my own business?"
He was very calm: "Besides, who am I to get involved in other people's affairs? But, Mom, Bai Fendou came to me today. He wants to take revenge on the Fan family and wants me to give him some advice. I'm really at a loss as to what to do. Can you help me with some advice?"
Zhao Guihua: "You just didn't mention interfering in other people's affairs. Chen Yuan and Tao Yuye are from other families. Bai Fendou is also from other families."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I know this. Actually, I have a mediocre impression of Bai Fendou. But he found me, didn't he? I have to give him a letter. Besides, this family is really wicked. You see, don't I have a hatred for evil?"
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at him. To be honest, Zhao Guihua hated evil more than his son Zhuang Zhixi. But Fan Jianguo's matter was really hard to handle.
They could expose his family for abusing women and children and coveting his wife's dowry, but if this matter came out, He Lan would be implicated to some extent. Although she had not known He Lan for a long time, Zhao Guihua could see that she was a pitiful girl. She did not want to involve He Lan again.
Moreover, to be honest, even if this matter is exposed, the effect that may be achieved is very leisurely. First of all, there is evidence. Secondly, these things were done by the Fan family, and Fan Jianguo can shirk his knowledge. And because He Lan's background is not good, maybe Fan Jianguo can also change a good reputation and cut off ties with backward elements, which can actually become a good thing. If the leaders on Fan Jianguo's side are very protective of him, this matter will not have any impact on him at all, and may even be a blessing.
Of course, they could also expose the fact that the Fan family had something to others, but the source of this thing would involve He Lan, and the most difficult thing was that they couldn't get around He Lan. It was easy to handle, but Zhao Guihua hoped that He Lan could get away with it.
She said, “I need to think about this.”
In fact, most people now look down on people with bad backgrounds. The reason why He Lan is so quiet in the compound is because Bai Fendou's deeds are too trivial, and everyone is quite speechless about this person. In addition, he always jumps high, which makes He Lan less obvious. And no one has discussed this or that about He Lan.
If it were outside, people like He Lan would be discriminated against.
Zhao Guihua doesn't judge people with old eyes. She doesn't comment on whether He Lan's family is good or not, but she can see that He Lan is a person who has not experienced much of the world. So she has a good impression of He Lan. She said, "Okay, we need to think about this matter again. Don't do it in front of others... Hey, wait a minute? You said you saw Fan Jianguo leading a woman to the department store?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Yes, I saw it."
He thought about it carefully and said, "That woman is very close to him."
Zhao Guihua said meaningfully: "Is he planning to remarry? That's why they came to the city to buy wedding supplies?"
It's not Zhao Guihua's fault for thinking this way. Generally speaking, the current atmosphere is still very strict. But listening to Zhuang Zhixi's words, they are very close. Since they dare to do this, they should be getting married? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so bold, right?
Zhuang Zhixi thought about it and said, "It's possible."
He said, "If it's about getting married, it would be interesting."
Zhuang Zhixi hadn't thought of it just now, but now that he thought of it, he laughed: "How can such a person have the nerve to get married? Isn't this harming the girl?"
Zhao Guihua: "He..."
"What are you two whispering about? So quietly." Zhuang Laonian came in. He came back with Liang Meifen. Liang Meifen hurried forward and said, "Mom, I'm here."
She took over the work from Zhao Guihua.
Zhao Guihua had just gotten rid of the baby carriage, so she pushed the two children to the door. The little ones really became happy. There is no child who doesn't like to go out and play. No one! Zhao Guihua pushed the baby carriage to the eaves of the corridor, and the two children looked at the old hen and chirped.
I didn't know what to say.
Zhao Guihua smiled and coaxed the child: "This is an old hen. It lays eggs."
Although Xiaotuantuan and Xiaoyuanyuan are very small, they both know Dandan. Xiaoyuanyuan started to drool, opened his little mouth and exclaimed "Ah~" loudly.
Zhao Guihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "It's not eggs for you to eat. The old hen lays eggs. It lays a lot of eggs. They lay eggs for the baby to eat."
Both children started smacking their lips.
Zhao Guihua: "My dear! Can we eat eggs tomorrow?"
She poked her chubby little chin and said, "Wait a minute, babies. You can eat when your mother comes back."
Xiao Tuan Tuan was making a lot of noises, while Xiao Yuan Yuan's big mouth didn't get what she wanted, so she pouted her little face and grumbled, as if she was a little angry. Zhao Guihua couldn't help but poke the little girl again and said, "You little girl only know how to eat."
Xiao Yuanyuan twisted softly and smiled broadly at her grandmother. Zhao Guihua praised her, "So good!"
Xiao Yuanyuan pointed at the old hen, purred, smacked her lips, stretched out her little claws, and pretended to grab something. Zhao Guihua laughed: "Do you want to catch it and eat it?"
When she heard the word "eat", Xiao Yuanyuan looked at her grandmother with round eyes.
Although the twins are still young, they have a sense for some words, such as "eat", which is very important. Her big watery eyes stared at her milk. Zhao Guihua: "When our Yuanbaoer grows up, we will stew chicken for him, okay?"
Yuanyuan started smacking her lips again.
Zhao Guihua had long forgotten that she was still talking to her son about the Fan family. She was now completely focused on her own little Yuanbao. Little Tuantuan, who was standing by, watched her grandmother surrounding Yuanbao and babbling for attention.
Zhao Guihua smiled and poked his little arm, which looked like a lotus root node, and said, "Tuantuan, what are you doing? Do you want to eat too?"
"What to eat?"
A crisp voice sounded, it was Mingmei who came back. She pushed her bicycle into the house. The two children were particularly close to their mother. They opened their arms and jumped on Mingmei like little sparrows. Mingmei looked at the actions of the two babies and said happily: "My babies love me the most."
Zhao Guihua looked over, and Mingmei immediately said, "Then she must like grandma the most. Grandma loves the baby the most."
She came forward, chuckled, and pulled out a bottle of Friendship from her messenger bag, saying, "Mom, this is for you."
There was only one bottle left on Zhao Guihua's cabinet, and she was thinking about buying one recently, but she didn't expect Mingmei to buy it. Otherwise, why did Liang Meifen always say that Mingmei was good at flattering? She was indeed a very perceptive girl.
Zhao Guihua: "That's great, how much did it cost?"
Mingmei immediately said seriously, "Mom, you are talking to me about money. I am really sad. Why should we be so clear about the divisions as a family? You are so tired taking care of the baby all day long. What's the point of me buying such a small thing?"
She touched Zhao Guihua with her arm and said with a smile, "I know Mom has worked very hard. I also know that buying a bottle of Dayouyi for me is not a big deal, but it is also a small token of my appreciation as a daughter-in-law."
Zhao Guihua laughed and said, "Okay, I'll keep it."
Although they were in the yard, they had to open the doors and windows in the summer, so Liang Meifen, who was cooking, could see them just by sticking her head out, not to mention the sound of their conversation. Liang Meifen thought carefully about the past, and it seemed that she did not do this back then. Thinking about it now, no wonder she was not as likable as Mingmei.
The little money she had back then was all taken away by her brother. Now she thinks back then what a fool she was.
No matter how much you give me, I can't win the true heart of this brat.
Then why should she give it? It's a big loss.
However, she didn't know what this kid would be like after being beaten. Her parents' home was severely beaten, and even many things in the house were smashed by Zhuang Zhiyuan. She didn't know what the situation was over there. She pursed her lips, thinking about whether she should go back to take a look, but after thinking about it for a moment, she decisively decided not to go back.
She thought that nothing serious would happen to them, so she would not go back and act as a punching bag for them.
His parents are weak towards outsiders, but they are very good at using their own people as punching bags.
Liang Meifen was a little distracted, and Zhuang Zhixi looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't take it out of the pot, it will get burnt."
Priscilla Leung: "Oh, okay."
The last person to come back from get off work was Zhuang Zhiyuan. He looked very happy. As soon as he entered the house, he said happily, "Mom, I have to register to start allocating houses."
Zhao Guihua was stunned and asked, "Divide the house?"
This happened a little earlier than in the previous life.
"Tell me quickly, this is what happened."
"Yes, tell me now."
The family quickly sat together to have dinner, but the focus was on the house. Today, no one even cared about taking Xiao Tuantuan and Xiao Yuanyuan away. The two children were looking at the dining table, babbling, like little greedy cats.
Zhuang Zhiyuan didn't even bother to wash his hands or eat, and said, "As you know, our unit hasn't had housing distribution for several years, so many people are in a very tight housing situation. Everyone has to ask the leaders for help. After a lot of back and forth, we finally got good news recently. Our unit exchanged a number of houses with other units to distribute houses to employees who have not been allocated houses for a long time."
Zhao Guihua quickly asked: "Where is it?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Basically all of them..."
When Zhao Guihua heard this position, she knew it was the position from her previous life.
After hearing this, her interest dropped a little. This sounds good. If it is according to what will happen in a few decades, it will be the second ring road. But it has not been demolished in 2022, and even an indoor toilet cannot be privately renovated. To go to the toilet, you have to go to the end of the corridor. Of course, it is better than their current alley, but it is not comparable to other buildings.
This house is several decades old and anyone with a little income wouldn't live here.
Of course, the second ring road is very good, but it cannot be demolished and cannot be lived in. Not to mention Zhiyuan, even Hutou’s generation is hard to say whether they can benefit from this house. For natives like them, there are many more choices than this.
"Mom, I've asked, and this time I have a good chance of getting one. If I do, we can improve our housing. I feel so happy just thinking about it. How can such a good thing happen?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan didn’t know what Zhao Guihua was thinking, he just felt extremely happy now.
Zhao Guihua: "So you have already signed up?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Of course. I think the chances of getting one are very high. I have enough rank and years of service."
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he said, "Now it depends on which floor I can get. I hope it's not too high. Otherwise it will be inconvenient to move things in the winter." He is often away on business, so his wife is bound to be busy all the time, so a lower floor would be better.
At this time, Zhuang Zhiyuan had already started thinking about these detailed little things.
Zhao Guihua remained silent, and Zhuang Laonian keenly noticed that Zhao Guihua was not so happy, so he glanced at his wife. Zhuang Zhiyuan was able to get a separate room, and Zhuang Zhixi was also happy for his elder brother, as he had been waiting for this for a long time.
It is so important to have a place of your own.
Zhuang Zhixi is also like this. Now his family has two children who are still young. When they grow up a little, they will have to find a place for them to live, right? After all, they can't be confined in the same room when they grow up.
The child may be used to it, but the couple cannot.
This will give the couple a chance to be intimate.
Anyway, Zhuang Zhixi also thought it was a good thing. Only Zhao Guihua knew that the house they were given was just like that. Maybe she didn't say much, and when the old couple was the only ones left at night, Zhuang Laoner advised her: "When the children grow up, they will have to separate from the family. I know you don't want them to leave, but it's a rare opportunity like this, and the children are really happy. You still have a stern face..."
Zhao Guihua: “…”
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said, "It's not that I don't want to see them go, it's just that I think the house we got is just average."
You see, this is a misunderstanding, isn't it?
She is not the kind of old lady who only wants her children to be around. If her children can have more things, she will definitely be happy as a mother. Doesn't this mean that this house was like a chicken rib in the previous life, so she has nothing to say? "Isn't this a building in general? It's better than our courtyard house! I think you just don't want them to move out, and you are very stubborn."
Zhao Guihua: “…”
She was being stubborn? What she wanted to say was that their courtyard house was worth much more.
But I soon thought that nowadays, people live in buildings, but no one lives in courtyard houses. Not to mention now, it was the same even in the 1980s. The various values of courtyard houses were only reflected in the 1990s.
However, in the early days, this house was definitely not as comfortable as a building.
Zhao Guihua was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a little relaxed.
Yes, she now knows that the house is just so-so, so she thinks it is not suitable, but for now, if her son really moves in, it is actually not bad. Although it is not a new house, it can be lived in for a few years and then sold after the housing reform.
They were too honest in their previous life, which led to that situation.
She has been reborn in this life, how can she not be able to handle such a small matter?
Zhao Guihua suddenly understood, and she asked, "So do you like our courtyard house or the building?"
Zhuang Laonian thought for a moment and said, "A building is good, but I prefer our courtyard house, where there are many people and it's lively. Living in a building always makes me feel out of touch with reality, and my neighbors are far away. It's much better to live like this, where it's lively and bustling."
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "Then we will live in the courtyard house and never move."
Zhuang Laonian: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua thought about her previous life. In her previous life, they sold the house, but suffered a loss. Who could have thought that this house would grow so fiercely? The reason why she sold the courtyard house and left was because her old man died in the courtyard house.
She was somewhat saddened by the scene, so she was willing to move away.
But in this life, she looked up at her husband and said, "We have to grow old together. No one can abandon the other first."
Zhuang Laonian: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua: "Wait for me to secretly cook you an egg to replenish your body."
Zhuang Laonian was embarrassed and said, "These children are eating, and I am so old..."
Zhao Guihua: "They have plenty of opportunities to eat, but we are so old, we should make up for it. Especially you, your job is very tiring."
In his previous life, Zhuang Laonian didn't have any serious illness, but he was overworked and had insufficient nutrition, so he was exhausted. During that period, because the factory was rushing to meet deadlines, he got off work in the middle of the night and rushed to work early in the morning.
As a result, one day when he came home from work, he fell down in the yard and had a cerebral hemorrhage.
The person actually didn't suffer much and passed away very quickly.
But it also makes the relatives very upset. How could such a good person leave so soon?
If this person had been ill and bedridden for a long time, the family would have been prepared and would have had some confidence. But this was not the case at all, it happened very quickly. Zhao Guihua was so uncomfortable that she couldn't bear it. She thought about those things and felt that this could actually be prevented.
You’re getting older now, you just can’t work too hard.
She was determined not to let such a situation happen again in this life.
Although their family income is not as high as Jiang Lu and Zhou Qun's, they definitely have the best food in the compound. Zhao Guihua thinks that instead of saving money, it is better to eat something good to replenish the body. She moved closer to Zhuang Laonian and said, "We can't always devote ourselves to our children and not think about ourselves at all. We are the companions in old age."
Zhuang Laonian laughed happily and said, "I know."
Zhao Guihua figured it out, and said to Zhuang Zhiyuan the next morning while eating, "This time when you're given a room, the most you can get is one room, right?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Normally, I should get 30 to 40 square meters."
Even in the 1970s, housing in the capital was tight.
Zhao Guihua: "If there is no room, let Hutou and Xiaoyanzi stay in the compound, and you two can move in. Of course, if you are willing to take the child away, I don't mind. I am not willing to take care of your child."
Zhuang Zhiyuan was immediately delighted, thinking that his mother was just saying one thing and thinking another: "Thank you, Mom."
In fact, he didn't know what it was like, but he was still happy that his mother said so.
He said: "This is just the beginning, we have to wait."
Zhao Guihua nodded, dividing the house is not a matter of one day or one night.
Because of such a great thing, Zhuang Zhiyuan even washed up in the morning with a smile on his face, and Liang Meifen was the same. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally it came. Compared with their joy, his Hutou and Xiaoyanzi didn't feel much.
The kids didn't understand this. They were both on summer vacation, so they were running around and playing everywhere early in the morning.
Today is Sunday, and everyone in the compound is not up early. Zhao Guihua and the others are going to go up the mountain together. Mingmei is very excited: "I'll go with you."
Zhao Guihua glared at her: "What about the child?"
Mingmei was honest: "Don't we have Zhuang Zhixi? He is at home taking care of the kids, it's the same."
Zhuang Zhixi loved his wife very much. He smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here. You guys go ahead."
He said: "If the baby is hungry, I can make milk powder for them and steam eggs for them."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay then."
Liang Meifen hurriedly said: "I'll go too."
When it comes to flattery, Mingmei can't be the only one who does it.
As a daughter-in-law, her parents had already given her a lot of things to do, and she really didn't want to fall behind. Her mother-in-law was narrow-minded.
Zhao Guihua didn't care, but Mingmei changed into long sleeves and even covered her hair with a headscarf.
Everyone was stunned.
Mingmei: "I am armed to the teeth."
Everyone: “…”
Zhao Guihua: "It's good this way. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to get sunburned. It wouldn't be worth the trip."
"Can you still get sunburned?"
"Why not? We are old and rough, and we are used to the sun, so we can't do it. Their young wives are a different matter."
"That makes some sense."
Several people went out together quickly. Zhao Guihua rode a bicycle, Mingmei and Liang Meifen rode a bicycle. Aunt Wang took Aunt Sui with her. The five female comrades looked quite impressive.
At this time Mingmei thought of the fishing experience last year, but there was nothing left in the fish pond. These people were really going to catch all the fish in the pond.
Mingmei: "It's not raining today. We can still pick mushrooms if it rains."
The weather is really unpredictable. It rained a lot last year, but less this year.
Because of the heavy rain last year, the staple food in the canteen was rationed in winter. Many people looked thinner, but fortunately their compound was not affected much, and his family was not affected either. This must be said that Zhao Guihua, the mother-in-law, is very good at managing the household.
Not only did his family not eat less, but the food is better than in previous years.
It turns out that a good head of the family is very important.
They rode their bikes to the foot of the mountain, and Mingmei was deeply moved: "This is my first time here this year."
Zhao Guihua: "Am I not?"
She was so happy last year, going up the mountain every few days. This year, she is taking care of the two little ones. It is summer now, but this is her first time. The two little ones are a little bigger now, so she can leave them to her family. Otherwise, she would not come now.
However, when she thought of the two little ones at home, Zhao Guihua could laugh from the bottom of her heart.
This is what we call the relationship between generations.
She felt that Xiao Tuan Tuan and Xiao Yuan Yuan were much cuter than the third child when they were little. Well, Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi were also better than the eldest child. They were indeed brought up by her.
Zhao Guihua: "Let's go up the mountain."
Several people went up the mountain together. Zhao Guihua said: "Not many people go up the mountain this year."
Mingmei: “It’s hot.”
It's so hot today, and I can't even bear it in the morning.
Mingmei: "Let's go to the pond on the mountain and see if there are any fish."
Although they knew there might not be any, it did not hinder's enthusiasm for going up the mountain. After all, there were fewer people on the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and there were more people. Everyone went up the mountain together, so they had to chat. Aunt Wang saw that there were no outsiders, so she whispered: "Do you know? Something big happened to the Yu family."
"Yu family?"
Everyone looked at Aunt Wang in confusion, not reacting for a moment.
Aunt Wang immediately said, "Look at your memory. It's the family of Yu Baoshan who was killed by lightning."
Yu Baoshan died last year, but it seems like it has been so long that no one can remember it. Speaking of the Yu family, they are also a well-known poor family in their alley. There are many people in the family, but only one of them has a proper job. Baoshan.
But now that Yu Baoshan is dead, the conflicts between the sisters-in-law have increased.
First they were fighting for the job left by Yu Baoshan, but who would have thought that the job was taken away in the end. Normally, a regular worker's job would not be taken away easily, but Yu Baoshan was too capable. He even hurt people temporarily, and if it wasn't for God's mercy and letting him die from lightning, he might have hurt more people. His crime in the street was extremely bad, so he was naturally finished. They fought for this job, but it was taken away.
Next was Yu Baoshan's room. Their family was very short of space. They had many sons and their grandchildren were being born soon. There was no room for them to live. In order to fight for the room where Yu Baoshan usually lived, several sisters-in-law fought each other.
As the manager of a courtyard, Aunt Wang is very familiar with other courtyards around her. She said, "Sometimes when I go to the street to do business, I meet the manager of the courtyard. They are very worried."
Zhao Guihua: "So what happened recently?"
Aunt Wang: "There are rumors in their compound now that the third son's wife and the fourth son are having an affair. They even had a fight over this yesterday."
"ah!"
This kind of news is really exciting.
Mingmei suddenly thought of what happened in the bathroom the night before.
Could it be the Yu family? Aunt Wang: "Yu Lao San and Yu Lao Si are twins and look alike. The Yu family is not that well-off, so it's not easy to find a partner. Yu Lao Si is also very ambitious, but he has always been single. In fact, no one wants to marry, and even if he gets married, he would have no place to live. This uncle and his sister-in-law got together, and no one else knew about it at first. After all, they look alike, and it's normal for family members to exchange clothes. So people often see Yu Lao San and his wife being sweet, but sometimes they hear that they fight at home. People used to say that the couple is really sweet when they are getting along, but ruthless when they are at odds. But who would have thought that things were not like this at all. The sweet one is not the third brother at all. He doesn't even know whether he is having a sweet time with his wife outside? But there was a fight in his family."
Mingmei: “…”
There was no doubt about it; the two people she met the night before were definitely these two people.
She asked why the two people were not at home and went to the bathroom. If she said that, she would understand that they dared to speak out and not restrain themselves because others could not recognize them.
Aunt Wang: "They quarreled behind closed doors, but we live in the same compound, so who couldn't hear it? In fact, everyone knew about it."
Zhao Guihua: “Hi!”
Others were also shocked.
Liang Meifen grinned and said, "What's she trying to do?" Even if she wanted something new, it looks the same, so it's not new. I don't understand.
Mingmei was also confused and nodded in agreement: "I just don't understand!"
Zhao Guihua: "...It's not surprising."
"Isn't this surprising?"
Zhao Guihua: "As long as you live long enough, you will find that everything exists."
Everyone laughed. Aunt Wang said, "You said that as if it meant how long you have lived."
She made a joke, then remembered something and said, "The old couple in the Yu family are not good people. They are still saying bad things about your family behind their backs."
Zhao Guihua: "Talking about our family? Why? We are not familiar with each other."
Aunt Wang: "Wasn't his Yu Baoshan struck by lightning when he was chasing your Zhuang Zhixi? They think it's your family's fault."
Weird things happen every year, but this year there are even more of them. There are also unreasonable people like this. Aunt Wang: "When Yu Baoshan first died, it was not dignified, so his family didn't dare to jump. Now that it's been a while, Mrs. Yu is slowly recovering. It is said in their courtyard that Yu Baoshan was killed by your Zhuang Zhixi. If Zhuang Zhixi hadn't run to the top of the wall, his son would have been electrocuted and killed by lightning."
Aunt Wang was not just gossiping, she also wanted to let Zhao Guihua know about this matter.
People like this gossip about others behind their backs, and you never know what they might do.
After all, everyone knows that Yu's father and mother like their youngest son Yu Baoshan the most.
"Anyway, just be careful at home."
After hearing this, everyone became serious.
Mingmei didn't expect that in the end, the melon field would involve her own family.
She sneered and said, "This family is really shameless. Why do we have to stand here and take it when they want to harm others? We can't even run away? Why? If they say bad things about my family again, I will come to ask if they bully people like this. What's the matter? Do we need to say who was right and who was wrong in the first place? It's good enough that we don't pick on them, but they want to pick on us? Do you really think I'm easy to mess with?"
Mingmei was not polite at all.
Aunt Wang: "They are just talking nonsense, no one listens to them, everyone knows what's going on. But we look down on them. But we should always be careful, who knows what the old woman will do when she gets crazy."
Zhao Guihua was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "You are right. My child is still young, so I really have to be careful. But if she says it again next time, I will definitely come to my house. Otherwise, if we let her confuse right and wrong for a long time, some people with unclear minds may think that my family is guilty."
Zhao Guihua would not tolerate such an injustice, and she would not let her son suffer such an injustice.
In his previous life, the third child was wronged once, when he caught a thief, and she didn't want her son to endure this in this life. Of course, the third child's psychological quality would not be so bad because of this, but as a mother, she couldn't stand it.
Other people's rebirths are fashionable and trendy, and she is also one of them, but no matter what, she is a person born in the 20s, and no matter how trendy she is, some things in her bones are hard to change.
She said, "Don't let her try to mess up my house."
"You better be careful."
"I know that."
Liang Meifen: "This family is full of shit themselves. If they dare to scheme against others, they really should not think that everyone is easy to bully."
Aunt Wang: "Others in his family don't bother to care about Yu Baoshan's affairs. Besides, Yu Baoshan killed someone by lightning, which is retribution. They didn't have a good relationship with Yu Baoshan to begin with, so naturally they hated this dead man even more. Only the old couple in the Yu family still have resentment in their hearts."
"It's okay. I know what I'm doing."
Zhao Guihua: "Even if his family has bad intentions, they don't have time to do anything right now. There is still a mess at home."
"That's right."
Everyone was talking about these things, and they didn't delay digging vegetables. Mingmei was thinking about going home and telling her husband about it. It's not that you are afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. At this time, Zhuang Zhixi was taking care of the children at home. I don't know if the two little guys knew that their father was taking care of the children alone, and they deliberately made trouble.
Little Yuanyuan was whining. His two little kids didn't cry a lot, but they were not very obedient either. When Yuanyuan whined, Tuantuan got anxious and moved his little hands and feet around.
Seeing them whining, Zhuang Zhixi simply made some milk powder for the children. The two little kids held the bottles and gulped down the milk.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Didn't you just have a meal this morning? How come you're hungry so soon?"
Xiaoyanzi came over and said crisply, "Uncle, the baby needs to eat several meals, and he will need an egg later."
At this point, she also swallowed her saliva, but she knew that she had no share. She only had half an egg every morning, which she had already eaten. The little girl happily ran away with her brother.
Bai Fendou pushed his own Qingqing over and they gathered together.
While Bai Fendou was taking care of the kids, He Lan cleaned up the house and went out to do the laundry. He Lan didn't know how to do anything before, but after wasting time in her marriage over the past few years, she knew she could do anything. She did the laundry seriously.
Bai Fendou was very unkempt before, but now it is clean and tidy.
I have to say that He Lan was lucky to meet Bai Fendou, and Bai Fendou was also lucky to meet He Lan.
Bai Fendou looked at his wife washing clothes seriously and laughed. He didn't know that being married was so good before. Every day when he came home, he had hot meals and someone to wash clothes for him. But Bai Fendou was also diligent. He even went fishing recently, just to nourish He Lan.
He looked at his wife with fascination and said, "She is the prettiest and most hardworking person in our compound."
Zhuang Zhixi rolled his eyes and said, "Impossible, it's my wife."
"I am."
"I am."
The two people started arguing. Zhuang Zhiyuan: "..."
As soon as he went out, he heard such childish words and simply retreated.
It was Zhuang Laonian who stopped him and said, "Come on, let's go fishing together."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "That's fine."
The father and son didn't waste any time and went out directly.
Bai Fendou laughed happily: "You are actually a full-time babysitter now, hehe."
With a hint of ridicule, Zhuang Zhixi gave him a cold look.
Bai Fendou: "Oh, by the way. Ask your mom whether you helped me or not."
Speaking of this matter, Zhuang Zhixi became serious. He said seriously: "I asked, but this matter is really difficult to deal with. We can't think of any good solution for the time being. In fact, there is a solution, but I am afraid that it will involve your He Lan. After all, you can't destroy your newly stable life for revenge, right? Don't you think so?"
Bai Fendou: "That's right too."
He sighed dejectedly, wondering why it was so difficult to take revenge.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I guess Fan Jianguo might be getting remarried. If he wasn't buying things for the wedding, would he need to travel so far to the city to buy things? They don't have any in town."
The village where they live is not a mountain village like the one where Wang Zizhen lives.
Their village is very close to the city, so the town has everything. If it is not necessary, you can buy something in town, there is no need to buy it here. Bai Fendou got even angrier after hearing this: "What kind of person is he qualified to remarry? What kind of person is he! He will bring disaster to the girl by marrying her. He must not know what his family is like. I have to go and ask him, find out, and then tell the girl the truth."
Zhuang Zhixi sneered: "Should he listen to you or Fan Jianguo? One is a stranger, and the other is the man you like. They are completely different."
"What should I do?"
Zhuang Zhixi teased, "Even if you prove your identity and say bad things about Fan Jianguo, people might think you're jealous. And look at your reputation. Falling in the toilet, having an affair with a man, having your balls broken, having a fight with a widow... With a reputation like yours, how could people listen to you?"
He was not afraid of Bai Fendou getting angry, since he was the one who did it anyway.
However, as soon as Zhuang Zhixi finished speaking, he saw Bai Fendou in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Fendou: "You said..."
He swallowed and said, "What if I let Fan Jianguo fall into the toilet as well?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Bai Fendou: "I can also kick him to pieces."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Fuck. Don't kick them. You can only beat Chen Yuan and Zhou Qun. Who else can you beat?"
"What about kicking it into the toilet?"
Zhuang Zhixi was quite speechless and said, "Why did you kick him? Even if you did something bad, you can't let people see that you did it! Fan Jianguo was a soldier, so he should be vigilant. You should be quiet for a while. You should be more cautious when doing things. But from the point of view of ruining Fan Jianguo's reputation, this idea is correct."
Bai Fendou's eyes lit up: "Is that right? Then perfect it for me. Even if I can't deal with him right away, I still want to vent my anger."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I think you can find out more about this person's details. Marriage and other things are just our guesses, so you still have to ask."
Bai Fendou: "I'm looking for Yang Lixin."
"It's no use looking for Yang Lixin. Yang Lixin hasn't been back to his hometown since he left last time. He may not know anything. If you really want to know, don't ask others to help you. It's just that fewer people know about it, so you will have less trouble. Take some time to disguise yourself and go to their village to ask around. Find out the truth first, and then we can talk about the next step."
Bai Fendou nodded vigorously.
He felt that what Zhuang Zhixi said was right, so without further delay he immediately prepared to disguise himself and go take a look.
He is a person with a very bad temper.
He said: "If you say he wants to remarry, it's quite normal, because he wanted to drive He Lan away because he hooked up with the daughter of some leader. But He Lan was eavesdropping at the time, so the specific situation is not very clear. But the possibility of remarriage is very high. I just want to mess up his remarriage. I will expose his true colors later."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You can pretend to be an old woman. If someone really asks you, you can say that you are Fan Jianguo's lover, a widow, and have been with him for several years. Isn't it disgusting anyway? This is also disgusting. You have only been there once, and you may not be recognized without dressing up. You can't dress up as a woman. At most, people will think you are an ugly woman."
"This is great!" He looked at Zhuang Zhixi with admiration and said, "You are really a dog-headed military strategist."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You can go away now."
Bai Fendou said with a playful smile: "Don't be angry, it's my fault. I apologize to you. Tell me more."
Zhuang Zhixi really didn't bother to pay attention to him. If he didn't dislike the man's immorality, he wouldn't care.
He said, "Your statement is actually untenable. Fan Jianguo must know that he is not having an affair with some ugly widow. But your purpose is not to make this matter known to everyone, but to find out whether he is going to remarry and his family situation. The lover is just an excuse. Don't go into too much detail, so as not to reveal any flaws. If you find out everything this time, maybe you can use this identity again next time."
Bai Fendou nodded immediately: "Okay."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Besides, you... well, I think this is really good. You going around like this is really disgusting. If the news spreads, it might really delay his marriage."
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that it could be improved.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Fan Jianguo has been in the army for four or five years, there must be some people who don't believe it, but if someone asks you for the truth, just say that you started dating six or seven years ago. Every time he came back in these years, you went on a date. But remember, don't go into too much detail. If someone bothers you, you must get away quickly."
Bai Fendou: "I know that."
He was actually quite excited, and he said, "Then I'll go right away."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Change into some fancy clothes and dress up properly...don't let your true identity show. Stuff two steamed buns in your chest."
Bai Fendou: "OK."
He said, "Please help me think about how to dress better."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You should wear a skirt. You are tall and don't look like a woman. If you wear a skirt, people will think you are a woman at first sight."
"That's fine."
Zhuang Zhixi gave a few more instructions and suggestions, and Bai Fendou excitedly pushed the child home.
In fact, they all knew that these things would not shake the Fan family for the time being, but didn't his family want to marry a daughter-in-law? It was always okay to disgust them first. It would be even better if they could mess up the marriage.
If you can't mix it up, just take it slow and steady.
After all, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Zhuang Zhixi thought about this and shook his head and smiled. He was more and more willing to meddle in other people's business. It was true that he had too much free time and wanted to meddle in everyone's business. He lowered his head and poked the two little babies and said, "Our lovely little Tuantuan and little Yuanyuan, do you think Dad is the one who likes to meddle in other people's business the most?"
The two children didn't know what their father was asking, but they waved their hands and whined. Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "You also said that if Dad does good things, then there is nothing wrong. The babies really understand Dad very well."
He took out a rattle and started shaking it. The two children made a gurgling sound. Zhuang Zhixi lowered his head and kissed the babies, saying, "I wonder if your mother has made any great gains in the mountains."
He always felt that Mingmei's going to the mountain was like walking in her own backyard. She always had new gains and was a winner in life. He had never seen such good luck. If he said this, Zhuang Zhixi was not wrong at all. Mingmei was really stunned now.
However, it was not a gaping of joy. It was a gaping of astonishment.
Who would have thought that they would encounter wild boars.
Yes, that's right, wild boar.
Fierce wild boars, you know, wild boars are not something that ordinary people can deal with. Although they had seen people dealing with wild boars last year, they had weapons. They didn't. This was really a coincidence. Mingmei and her group went up the mountain to see if there were any fish in the pond, but who would have thought that they would encounter a wild boar coming to drink water.
Leung Mei-fun screamed in fright at that time.
Seeing such a ferocious animal in the mountains is not a good thing. Don't think that wild boars are not ferocious, they are completely different from domesticated ones. They are extremely ferocious. This is not the expression of the wild boars seeing something delicious, but the expression of the wild boars seeing something delicious.
Liang Meifen's voice started the wild boar, and several people fled quickly.
Even though they were ordinary people on weekdays, they climbed trees very quickly at critical moments. It was true that when their lives were threatened, people could unleash their potential. They climbed up the tree very quickly.
I didn't dare to breathe, and I didn't even know how I climbed up.
The wild boar stayed under the tree and refused to leave.
This wild boar was actually a very smart one. It refused to move and kept bumping into the tree. Regardless of whether it was its own tree or not, was so scared that they hugged the branches tightly, wanting to cry but without tears.
Of course, they did not climb up a tree. Instead, the wild boar chose the thinnest tree. It has to be said that the animals in the mountains are really smart. They knew to choose the thinnest tree, which is Mingmei's tree.
It kept hitting the tree, again and again.
Zhao Guihua: "Mingmei, be careful, hold on tight, don't let go..."
Liang Meifen also shouted: "Be careful, be careful!"
"Don't let go."
Everyone's voices rose one after another.
The big wild boar hit even harder.
Mingmei: "You all shut up!"
Mingmei hugged the tree trunk and felt the tree shaking continuously. She took a deep breath and said to the wild boar fiercely: "If you keep hitting the tree, I will kill you!"
If she fell, it would be dangerous. However, if she took the initiative, there might be some chance of success. After all, she was not a good man! She took a deep breath and looked at the distance of the other tree she had chosen. She held the kitchen knife tightly. Since she was the most capable, the kitchen knife was usually with her when she went up the mountain.
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to kill it. Stop yelling and disturbing me!"
She said this, and Zhao Guihua advised: "Don't, this is too scary..."
"Don't talk!"
Mingmei clenched the kitchen knife tightly, and suddenly moved and jumped down, aiming the kitchen knife at the wild boar's neck... She chopped it down, but the wild boar had thick skin and tough flesh, so it was not hurt at all. She put away the knife and ran away.
The wild boar roared, turned around and rushed towards Mingmei.
Mingmei was not one to rush in rashly. She ran forward and quickly jumped onto another tree. The wild boar chased her quickly and crashed into the tree with a bang.
However, Mingmei angered the wild boar, and it rammed her several times.
There was no such effect when the knife was cut down, but the wild boar was obviously dazed after hitting the tree. Mingmei looked up again, jumped down, and cut the wild boar again. This time, the knife really went in.
The wild boar made another noise, and Mingmei put away her knife and ran again.
It's really thanks to her kung fu skills, most people can't run as fast as her.
Mingmei quickly climbed up the tree again. This time the wild boar came up to climb the tree again. Mingmei could clearly feel that the wild boar didn't seem to be as strong as it was at the beginning. She curled her lips and took a deep breath. She planned to do this several times in a row. If the wild boar was not chopped to death, it would at least knock her half to death.
She plucked up her courage and prepared to take down the wild boar for the third time.
At this time, someone shouted: "Be careful! Don't move!"
Mingmei looked up and saw some people rushing towards her. They were a few people wearing military green uniforms. They were obviously soldiers from the troops stationed at the other end of the mountain. One of them was holding a weapon.
The man raised his hand and aimed almost instantly.
Mingmei: "Oh, it's stable."
She finally put her mind at ease!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were three consecutive hits, with very loud noises. The wild boar had no resistance at all and fell to the ground with a bang.
Mingmei exclaimed: "So handsome!"
At this time, several people also arrived, looked up at the tree, and asked: "Comrade, are you okay?"
One of them was so surprised that he asked in shock: "Mingmei? Why are you here?"
