Dinglingling's bicycle came slowly towards the three people, scaring them so much that they quickly moved away. Zhao Guihua was not a good-tempered person, and she started to curse: "Do you know how to ride a bicycle? Go and reincarnate! You are running towards people on such a wide road, you are blind!"
Zhao Guihua has always had a hot temper, and she was not polite at all. When she looked again, she saw that it was an acquaintance, Bai Fendou, a boy from their yard. Bai Fendou also stopped the car at this time, and said with a chuckle, "Aunt Zhao, you are too angry. You just got married, and this is not good. You might scare your new daughter-in-law."
He glanced at the young wife of the Zhuang family and thought that she was really pretty. However, although she was pretty, her taste was not good. She did not like a man like him with thick eyebrows and big eyes and who was capable, but instead liked the pretty boy, Zhuang Lao San.
"What are you looking at? This is my daughter-in-law. It has nothing to do with you if you keep looking at her. Be careful or I'll dig your eyes out!" As soon as Zhao Guihua saw the boy's eyes, she knew he was up to no good.
Bai Fendou felt a headache from her yelling, and he quickly bowed: "Hey, auntie, please stop yelling, I'm just taking a quick look. Do you think I can have any other ideas? I'm not that kind of person."
Zhao Guihua sneered and said, "You are not young anymore. My third son is married. You should find a wife as well."
When Bai Fendou heard this, he immediately raised his head and chest, patted his bicycle proudly, and said boastfully: "Look, I bought a bicycle! All of us have cars now! Isn't it easy to find a wife? Not to mention other things, when I push my bicycle in Wangfujing, many girls come to chat with me."
The corners of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched, and she said, "Who are you buddy with?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately responded: "Mom, he is disrespectful to you."
Hey, these two mothers, Bai Fendou quickly said: "Zhuang Zhixi, you little brat, stop adding fuel to the fire. That's not what I meant. I'm just talking about my car..."
He bought a car, he bought a car, it's a bicycle, it's permanent!
How can't I see this? How can I not be envious? Bai Fendou was puzzled.
Zhao Guihua glanced at the bicycle and said calmly, "Isn't it just a bicycle? What's there to be proud of? Do you know how to ride it? You almost hit someone. I think you should practice more!"
"Hey, why is there only one bicycle? Do you have one at home?" At this point, he patted his head and said, "Oh, your family really has one. It's the dowry of your daughter-in-law!" After saying that, he was afraid that Zhao Guihua would get angry, so he turned around and rode away on the bicycle as fast as a gust of wind.
He even opened his arms proudly: "Ah, freedom like the wind!"
Zhao Guihua laughed and scolded: "This idiot! He is just a fool."
Mingmei burst out laughing, but Zhuang Zhixi asked in confusion: "Why didn't he go into the yard and leave? Then why did he ride his bike back?"
Zhao Guihua curled her lips: "Who knows what he is doing in such a mysterious way."
Zhuang Zhixi looked back at the yard, then looked in the direction Bai Fendou left, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's time for him to go to work now, and he goes back to the yard but doesn't come in..." After a pause, he saw that his mother and wife were both looking at him.
He said, "Could it be that he came back just to show off his new car?"
Zhao Guihua was silent: "..."
I thought you were going to say something shocking.
However, Mingmei nodded in agreement: "It's possible, it's possible."
When you buy a car, of course you have to show it off. When she bought this new car, she rode it around their family compound three times.
Zhao Guihua was speechless again: "..."
She had forgotten how hard it was to buy a bicycle now. Besides the difficulty of saving money, tickets were even harder to come by. For a large state-owned factory like theirs, tickets were not many every year. Not to mention other places.
So buying a bicycle is still worth showing off.
"Let's try to find a chance this year. If we can get a ticket, we'll buy one," Zhao Guihua said. Although her daughter-in-law Mingmei brought a bicycle as a dowry, she also needs to use it for work.
Zhuang Zhixi turned around instantly and looked at his mother in horror. He couldn't believe that his mother could say such a thing. You know, his mother was very calculating in her life. No matter who bought a car in the past few years, his mother had never been interested.
How can you say this now?
Zhao Guihua glared at him: "What's that look in your eyes?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom, you've been possessed by a yellow fox?"
Mingmei couldn't help but spit again. She smiled and said, "Mom, don't do it. I'll teach him a lesson and make him talk nonsense."
She twisted Zhuang Zhixi's hand, and Zhuang Zhixi cried out, pretending to be in great pain, looking at his wife with grievance. But Zhao Guihua sneered and said, "She's just pretending to be nice to me. How could she be so cruel?"
It's winter, and the cotton-padded jacket is extremely thick. I guess no one will be hit, so I put it on.
She looked at her youngest son and daughter-in-law and said, "You two are still acting in front of me. Do you think I can't see it?"
Mingmei immediately said, "Mom has good eyesight."
She flattered him and said, "You are so capable, how could you not see it? I know I can't hide it from you, so will you forgive me?"
Zhao Guihua: "Go away, go away. When did I ever blame you? Okay, we've walked around this alley once, let's go back."
The three of them were about to go home when they saw a few familiar ladies walking back happily, each carrying fish. One of them called out from a distance, "Guihua, go home and get the money. The grocery store is stocking fish."
Zhao Guihua entered the state after not using it for a second. Is she rushing to buy it? This gene is engraved in her bones.
Without saying anything, she ran back. She remembered how scarce the supplies were these days. If she didn't buy them this time, she wouldn't know when she would get them next time. She ran back to the yard very quickly. Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other in surprise. Mingmei was impressed: "She ran like a flying sprinter."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "Let's go back too."
Before they even entered the house, they ran into Zhao Guihua. Mingmei quickly asked, "Mom, can I go with you?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan's family of four occupied one and a half rooms, and Zhuang Zhixi occupied one room.
Zhuang Zhixi's place is not very big, but he still made a bead curtain half partition more than one meter high. He put a double bed and a wardrobe inside, and a table and chairs outside. He also bought a nine-drawer chest and a storage cabinet and placed them against the wall.
Although there aren't a lot of things, it looks well organized and warm.
As soon as the couple entered the house, Zhuang Zhixi poured a cup of hot water for his wife and said, "It's cold, drinking some hot water will warm you up."
Being alone together, the two of them felt a little awkward. Mingmei glanced at Zhuang Zhixi, pursed her lips, and said, "You should drink some hot water, too."
Zhuang Zhixi groaned and said with a smile: "I'm fine. I'm a man with a strong firepower."
The two looked at each other, and Zhuang Zhixi seemed to remember something and quickly stood up. He first quietly went to the door to look out, then came back and took out an iron box from the chest of drawers, and whispered, "Here's some candy."
Mingmei matched his tone and whispered, "Why are you being so secretive?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "If these two brats see this, they will definitely ask me for it. I bought it with my own pocket money."
Mingmei laughed softly, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan, and said softly: "As an uncle, why do you care about this?"
"How can I not care about it?" Zhuang Zhixi was quite confident. He said, "It's not like my sister-in-law doesn't have some private money. She won't buy it for the child. Besides, my mother loves her grandson the most. I won't let them down."
Mingmei blinked again. Zhuang Zhixi looked at her pretty face and couldn't help but reached out and held her little hand. Her little hand was soft and boneless. Zhuang Zhixi said softly, "Your little hand is so soft..."
Mingmei blushed, her fair face turned pink, and she said softly, "It's broad daylight, please be careful..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I lock the door?"
Mingmei pulled her hand out instantly and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not okay to lock the door."
She was afraid that he would do something in broad daylight. She could even hear people talking in the yard. He was doing something stupid! Not only did she pull her hand away, she also moved the chair and forcibly changed the subject: "Eat candy, eat candy."
She opened the box and saw the sorghum candy. She picked out a piece and handed it to Zhuang Zhixi's mouth. Zhuang Zhixi's eyes lit up and he looked at his wife. Mingmei said angrily, "Eat it."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed, lowered his head and took a bite of the candy, saying seriously: "It's very sweet."
Mingmei peeled another one and put it in her mouth, nodded and hummed, it was indeed very sweet.
She ate only one piece before closing the box and putting it back in the cupboard, saying happily, "Eat slowly."
She sat down again, and approached Zhuang Zhixi with a gossipy look, and asked, "Brother Zhixi, I didn't expect your family has such a high-end and classy thing as a family meeting. What do you think the mother-in-law is going to say at the meeting?"
Although Mingmei had dreamed about Zhao Guihua's life, how could a person's life be so clear in a dream? In the final analysis, she was just skimming the surface. She had no idea what happened in detail.
Mingmei was particularly curious: "In your family meeting, does everyone have to speak?"
She immediately took action: "If everyone is going to speak, I will write a speech. After all, I am a new bride and I can't let her down."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately held Mingmei down, shook his head and said, "In my family's family meetings, my mother has the final say. You just need to listen. Your opinions and speeches are not needed."
Mingmei: “…Oh.”
I feel disappointed that she doesn't even have to speak.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at her and laughed, "You really want to speak?"
Mingmei nodded immediately and said to her husband very bluntly: "I missed an opportunity to flatter my mother-in-law openly."
She also wanted to praise her mother-in-law from all angles when she spoke, alas!
Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched again, and he said sincerely: "You don't have to keep flattering my mother for me. My mother is a tiger whose butt cannot be touched. She won't fall for it. If I can't do it, you can't do it even more."
Mingmei raised her chin and said, "Hey, just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it! I'm also very good at flattering people."
Zhuang Zhixi said faintly: "Who can't do that?"
Mingmei: "You~ Hey, hey, why don't you…"
Zhuang Zhixi was about to do something unspeakable, Mingmei reacted immediately, made a big cross to defend herself, and said with a smile: "Don't be silly, I'm not talking about that... Can you be serious?"
Zhuang Zhixi saw her shy little face flushed, and he also laughed. He was just joking, but soon he stopped laughing and said fiercely, "Then tell me, can I do it?"
Mingmei: "Okay, okay, you're great, okay? We're just trying to flatter you!!!"
This person also took the opportunity to mess around.
Mingmei's eyes widened as she said, "If you keep making trouble, I'll hit you. I'm a martial arts master!"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Pfft! How can you brag so much?"
Mingmei blinked: He, doesn't he know? Isn't she bragging?
