In fact, this is how men and women get along. Many times, the so-called "not knowing" is just pretending to be stupid. There are not so many simple men. Many times, pretending to be stupid and knowing nothing is just a pretense.
I enjoy this feeling and can express my innocence at the same time.
Zhuang Zhixi is a man, and he knows that many people have this mentality. But he keeps a distance from people like Wang Xiangxiu. Although Zhuang Zhixi has a lot of sweet words with his wife Mingmei, he is still a very innocent person in his bones. He has a good relationship with his wife, and he always keeps a proper distance from other women.
It's not that he doesn't understand why Wang Xiangxiu did this, but understanding doesn't mean he understands it, right?
Anyway, he looked down on Wang Xiangxiu. He was not a selfless and kind person, and he never held himself to the standards of a good person. So Zhuang Zhixi just looked down on Wang Xiangxiu and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Oh, if she fights with others, he will still watch the fun.
But if this person comes to provoke me, sorry, please go away! Not interested! Zhuang Zhixi has this mentality towards Wang Xiangxiu, and he is too lazy to care about this woman. Wang Xiangxiu walked away with her hips twisted, and some old men were about to stick their eyes on her, but Zhuang Zhixi didn't even look at her.
It's really not eye-catching enough.
He started to think about it. Today is the day to get paid, why not go out to see a movie with his wife? The couple hadn't gone out to see a movie together recently. Alas, there were too many people in the hospital, and they saved the money for watching movies. Oh, they could also go out to eat, either Donglaishun or Quanjude.
His wife probably hasn't been there for a long time.
Oh, no, today is the day Hu Tou is discharged from the hospital. His mother should cook something delicious. So let's have dinner at home before going out to the movies. Good things should not be missed. Zhuang Zhixi thought about this and smiled happily.
He returned to the infirmary with the money in his pocket. Doctor Wang was fiddling with the flowers, uh, plucking them.
Zhuang Zhixi leaned over and said, "Doctor Wang, this is...?"
"Rose, do you know?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “I know.”
Although it was not common to grow flowers, they were in the inner city after all, and they had more experience than people in other places. This kind of rose was also grown by some people, although not many, but they had heard of it and had occasionally seen it.
He wondered: "But how did you pull all of this off..."
Doctor Wang sighed and said, "My classmate's flower garden has all been discarded, so I thought of picking them up and going home to make a flower cake."
The policy is strict now. If you don't do a good job of growing flowers, you will be accused of all sorts of things. Especially flowers that represent love. Yes, although it is only the 1970s, young people still know a little about this.
When he was in primary school, a group of kids were squatting at the door of Lao Mo's Western Restaurant drooling, and then they saw the Soviet man walking into Lao Mo's wearing small leather shoes, holding flowers. These little country bumpkins were really shocked at the time.
But it has become impossible these years. Growing flowers is not suitable in itself, and this kind of flower is even more unsuitable. Some people just pull them out to save trouble. Zhuang Zhixi looked at them curiously and asked, "Doctor Wang, can you give me a few?"
Doctor Wang looked up at Zhuang Zhixi in surprise and said, "What do you want this for?"
After asking, he slapped his head and said, "Look at me, what else can you do with this."
They are a newlywed couple, they are different from ordinary people.
She said, "Okay, I can't use all of them. You can pick whichever ones you like. Take as many as you like. But it's best not to plant them when you get home. Just find a bottle and put them in for a few days."
Zhuang Zhixi said with a smile: "I also go home to make flower cakes."
Doctor Wang pointed at him from a distance and said, "Little fox."
He picked a few good ones himself. Doctor Wang smiled and said, "Pick a few more. Don't be embarrassed. I will throw away the ones I can't use up. Flower cakes are just for the sake of freshness. I can't make a whole pot, and I don't have that much dough. Just pick them."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pick a few more and make it nine, forever and ever."
For a while, several female comrades were sick of toothache. Doctor Wang sighed: "After all, she is young. If you let my man say this, he will ask me if I am sick and have not taken medicine."
"My family can ask me if my head was caught in the door."
"You guys are fine. If it were my guy, he would let me go to the hospital to have my head checked."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and arranged nine roses, saying, "What are you talking about? I just said it casually. In fact, I also want to eat flower cakes. I want some flowers to make at home."
He refused to admit that he was taking it home to give to others for the sake of romance. To do such a thing, one must be sneaky. But fortunately, if he insisted on making flower cakes, it would be meaningless to entangle with him.
After all, we can't just not let people eat it.
Zhuang Zhixi arranged the roses and placed them under the table. Several people were chatting together. One of the nurses said, "Xiao Zhuang, Zhou Qun from your hospital, his mother was taken away by his daughter-in-law this morning. Did you know about this?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I heard about it. When I entered the factory this morning, I heard the security department talking about it. I don't know how long this auntie will be able to keep quiet after she returns."
"Well, that's not what I want to say. I want to say that she is really cruel. When Jiang Lu went to pick her up, she grabbed Jiang Lu's hair and hit her in the face. Jiang Lu blocked it with her hands and was scratched badly. I happened to be passing by on my way to work at that time, and I saw it. She pinched Jiang Lu's arm hard and twisted it hard. How could this old lady be so cruel? She usually does this in your courtyard. Doesn't anyone call the Women's Federation?"
The nurse really despises this kind of people. What era is it in now? He still wants to torture his daughter-in-law.
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "She has never hit in front of us. We only heard her swearing, but never saw her fight. I don't know if she beats secretly in the house, but I didn't see any injuries on Jiang Lu's body. I guess there shouldn't be any. But she often swears hysterically. This person is quite unreasonable in our yard. Who can take care of his family affairs? Even if you do, it may not be useful. Take my mother for example. My mother has spoken up for Jiang Lu many times before, but Jiang Lu always protected her mother-in-law. So what do you think of this? Now my mother doesn't care too much. It's the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's business. They are happy with it."
Zhuang Zhixi actually felt that his mother had changed since he got married. She was not the same as before. She was more arbitrary and more aggressive than before. Of course, her attitude towards neighbors had also changed slightly.
But Zhuang Zhixi thinks this is a good thing.
Sometimes you are a good person, but the person concerned doesn't appreciate it and continues to do the same thing. Then no matter how much you do, it's all a joke. That's why Zhuang Zhixi thinks it's good that his mother can let it go.
But then I thought, his mother is very busy now, rushing about with her life all day long, and has no time to care about others.
"There are many times and many things that really make people hate their lack of struggle." The nurse heard what Zhuang Zhixi said and understood what he meant. As neighbors, they would definitely not mind this matter. She had originally thought of talking to Zhuang Zhixi and asking the neighbors to jointly ask the Women's Federation to help Jiang Lu.
Isn't this also a good thing?
But seeing that Zhuang Zhixi was not happy at all, she stopped talking.
She didn't know Jiang Lu herself, so if she was standing up for Jiang Lu because she couldn't bear the sight of him, it would be even more inappropriate.
She said: "I am most afraid that the person involved will be happy with it."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "That's it."
At this moment, the music for the end of get off work sounded, and Zhuang Zhixi immediately stood up. He smiled and said, "I'm going home to make flower cakes."
Everyone laughed, and some said something with a hidden meaning: "Xiao Zhuang, you have to do a good job then."
"Would you like to bring some for us to try tomorrow to see how your flower cakes are?"
Everyone teased him, but Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said seriously, "That won't do. It takes a lot of flour, oil, and sugar to make this. I can't bear to give it away."
Such stingy words made everyone laugh even harder. What flower cakes? He was obviously going to take them home to give to his wife. He could find an excuse. Doctor Wang laughed and shook his head: "What I said actually gave him a good excuse."
"That's right."
Zhuang Zhixi was holding flowers after get off work. He left early, and the clinic was close to the main entrance, so he was the first group of people to leave work. Zhang San was patrolling at the door, and he greeted Zhuang Zhixi: "Doctor Zhuang, why are you holding flowers?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "I asked someone for some flowers and went home to make flower cakes."
"Flower cake? Flowers can be eaten?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Why can't we eat it? Is there anything else we can't eat?"
"Yeah, back in the 1960s, I used to pluck leaves from the trees and chew them."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "It's all the same. My mom always says that I am ruining my father."
"Yes, that's what my parents said."
Zhuang Zhixi didn't say anything and hurried home after get off work. Although he and his father worked in the same factory, they rarely went home together after get off work. They always went their own way. This was because the nature of their work was different.
Zhuang Zhixi and his friends had little to do. They were well prepared before leaving get off work. As soon as the bell rang, they would run away! It was Zhuang Laonian who needed to organize all the tools. If she wanted, she would also change her clothes. Zhuang Laonian was not a young lady or a young wife, so she basically did not change her clothes and left work in her work clothes.
But even so, he is much slower than Zhuang Zhixi.
When Zhuang Zhixi got home from get off work, the moment he entered the yard he saw Hutou and Xiaoyanzi, as well as Li Junjun, Li Weiwei and other children running around in the backyard. Xiaoyanzi's eyes were immediately glued to the flowers.
It’s said that little boys and little girls are different.
Several little boys also saw it, but they just looked away quickly and didn't pay any attention to it. But Xiaoyanzi stared at it and said, "What a beautiful flower."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, it looks good."
He went straight back to the house and did not plug it in. Instead, he put it on the cupboard and found something to cover it. When he turned around, he saw Xiaoyanzi lying on the door frame, blinking her big eyes and peeking.
Zhuang Zhixi burst out laughing and said, "Xiaoyanzi, what are you doing?"
Little Swallow bit her lip, raised her little face, and said, "Uncle, can Huahua give me one?"
Zhuang Zhixi looked at her expectant eyes and said cruelly, "No."
Xiaoyanzi's pigtails drooped down all of a sudden. The little girl was very lonely. Zhuang Zhixi came to the door, squatted down and looked at the little girl, and said to her straight in the eyes: "This is what the uncle wants to give to the aunt. If it is given to Xiaoyanzi, it will not be enough. The uncle will give it to Xiaoyanzi later, okay?"
Xiaoyanzi pursed her lips, feeling very disappointed, but she still nodded weakly and said, "Okay."
The little girl's hair showed her sadness. She looked at a few silly boys playing hopscotch in the yard, not caring about flowers at all. Tiger Head shouted, "Sister, we'll go pick dogtail grass for you later!"
Xiaoyanzi: “…”
Even the little one knows that the pretty flowers are different from the ugly dogtail grass! Very different! The dogtail grass is not beautiful! Li Junjun: "What's the point of the dogtail grass? Let's go find the black oily grass. If we find it, we can eat it."
Li Weiwei: "Yes, yes, this is delicious."
Tiger Head is sad: "My grandma told me not to eat outside food recently~"
He just got out of the hospital and he's already very worried.
Li Junjun and Li Weiwei looked at each other and nodded: "That's right, you've gotten food poisoning by eating anything you want, so you'd better not eat it. Hehe, they're all ours."
One less person to compete with, not bad! Little Tiger, even more sad.
These two siblings each have their own sorrows.
Zhuang Zhixi patted the little girl's shoulder and said, "Dogtail grass doesn't look good. Uncle will pick other flowers for you tomorrow. I won't give them to anyone else, not to your brother, not to your aunt, but only to you. Okay?"
Little Swallow put her hands together and said, "Let's give them a try. It will be better if we all have some."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "How nice."
Little Swallow didn't get the red rose, but when she thought about the other flowers her uncle was going to give her, she thought, after all, it would be better than dogtail grass, right? So the little girl felt relieved.
Dogtail grass, a life of being despised.
The little swallow quickly rushed to her brother's team and started jumping on the squares. Everyone jumped on the squares together.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at the children playing happily and asked, "Hutou, you are jumping around right after you were discharged from the hospital. Is your health okay?"
Tiger Head: "I can!"
He waved his arms around and said, "Look, I'm very strong and in great shape."
Zhuang Zhixi turned around and said, "Aunt, come back and call me."
"Okay~"
A soft and chewy little cub.
When Zhuang Zhixi entered the room, he saw his mother fiddling with mugwort. The smell of mugwort was a bit strong. Zhuang Zhixi said, "What is she doing? Why did she get mugwort water into the basin?"
Zhao Guihua: "I plan to make a Qingtuan."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched. Why did everyone mention strange food today? First there was flower cake, then there was Qingtuan. He said, "Qingtuan, can you make it?"
He had never seen his mother do it. Zhao Guihua said, "Why can't I do this? I can understand it after thinking about it. It doesn't require any technical skills. What's the matter? You need a cook to make a small dessert?"
She continued to make the mugwort water, and suddenly remembered something, so she said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, so you can take a rest?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Rest."
Zhao Guihua nodded: "Then you come with me to the suburbs, we'll go fishing and pick some mugwort. The weather is getting warmer, and there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants. It would be good to pick some and hang them on the door or put them in the house."
Zhuang Zhixi: “OK!”
He leaned out the window and looked out, saying, "Hey, the Zhou family across the street hasn't come back yet? Didn't Aunt Zhou get picked up by Jiang Lu? Didn't she come home?"
The corner of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched, and she said in a difficult way: "She is in the hospital."
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Isn't it just three days of hunger? Just eat something, right? Why do you need to be hospitalized? It's not Zhuang Zhixi's fault that he thought so, but people nowadays are like this, they won't be hospitalized for a small matter. They won't even be hospitalized easily, so Zhuang Zhixi was surprised.
Zhao Guihua: "I guess... Zhou Li wanted to be hospitalized in the hope that Jiang Lu could take care of her. After all, if she went home, Jiang Lu would definitely take care of Zhou Qun in the hospital, and she would inevitably be neglected. But it's different when she's hospitalized. They're in the same ward, so Jiang Lu can take care of two people at once."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's great. What happened next? There's more next, right?"
Zhao Guihua looked up at him and said, "Yes, she got into a fight with Bai Fendou and was really injured. Her face was swollen like a steamed bun, and she was kicked by Bai Fendou. At her age, she had already suffered, and then she was injured. I don't think she will be back for ten days or half a month."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
This is...
He sighed and said, "This is too magical."
But soon, he smiled and said, "Mom, I think some things are destined to happen. You said that God is really helping us."
Zhao Guihua was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Why did she suddenly start to use metaphysics? She even blamed God.
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Look, in our front yard, one person from the Su family is hospitalized, two from the Zhou family are hospitalized, and one from the Bai family is hospitalized. All four of them are in the hospital. This means their families will also have to stay in the hospital. Does that mean no one will know what we do?"
Zhao Guihua: “…”
This makes sense.
Zhuang Zhixi said: "Let's go to the suburbs together tomorrow and see if we can catch any fish. I don't believe that even if God has given us a chance, we can't catch any fish even if we go out together."
Zhao Guihua nodded in agreement, feeling that what Zhuang Zhixi said made some sense.
But, if you don’t check it out, you won’t know. This one is really a bit weird. In their front yard, every household has been hospitalized. Isn’t it weird? No matter what the reason is, every household has someone hospitalized.
Zhao Guihua: "Tell me, didn't you really cause any trouble?"
Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? How is it possible? This is purely an accident. Think about it, it's actually quite normal. With Aunt Zhou's personality, it must be because of this or that. She's so mean and mean, so sooner or later she'll get into trouble. It'd be strange if she didn't get beaten. And Aunt Su, even if it wasn't because of the dog beating, she's been protecting Jin Lai and the other three guys all day. These three guys are capable of getting into trouble, how can they stay out of trouble all their lives? Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun are even less surprised, they don't like each other, and it's not just one or two days."
He paused and said, "So this accident is not unexpected at all. If this didn't happen, then that would have happened."
Zhao Guihua: "That's what I said, but it's still a bit risky. But I only say this at home, who dares to say it outside?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's good that you know."
The old lady snorted and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Of course I know."
You really can't say that only Zhao Guihua and her son have this idea. There are many people who have this idea. There are also people in this yard who are muttering about this at home. But muttering is muttering, just like Zhao Guihua's family, no one will talk about it outside. It's not good to be known as promoting feudal superstition.
But everyone was just thinking about it casually, but there was one person who thought too much.
This person was none other than Old Lady Zhou. The more Old Lady Zhou thought about this, the more she felt that it was so right. She sat on the hospital bed, thinking carefully about what had happened recently. She suddenly asked, "Did the many things that happened in our hospital start from the day we caught the thief falling into the manure pit?"
The two lambs, the old man and the young man, who had run into a strange wolf pack, immediately looked up at Aunt Zhou and asked, "Oh, no, you also have experience of falling into a manure pit?"
This experience is quite unique. If you tell us this, we won't be sleepy anymore.
“Ahem.”
“Cough cough cough!”
Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun had a rare tacit understanding, and they kept coughing together. They didn't want to talk about such a miserable past. Zhou Qun was even more so. He didn't understand why he brought up this for no reason.
Zhou Qun: "Mom, you should get some sleep."
Mrs. Zhou Li: "I'm not sleepy, why should I sleep?"
Zhou Qun stared at his mother, suppressed his anger, and said, "It's always good to take a break, Mom."
His last word was obviously spoken with a heavier tone. Outsiders might not notice the subtle difference, but Zhou Li almost realized that this was not a good thing, and this was not their compound, and there were other people around.
It would be better not to talk about the falling into the manure pit. Is that decent? Zhou Li smiled sullenly and said, "Then I'll lie down for a while."
She was lying on the bed, her mind was in a mess. Look, look how unlucky they were recently. Everyone in the front yard of their yard had been admitted. Can you believe it? Could this be a coincidence? It was obvious that something was happening to them.
Although it has been a long time since he heard the legend of female ghosts, Zhou Li still firmly believes in them.
And she had heard Jiang Lu secretly tell her that they had passed by the toilet that night and heard some noise. It was a woman's voice.
So Zhou Li believed in the female ghost very much. She thought about it for a long time and felt that this might be because of the time they fell into the pit. Maybe, maybe it was because they fell into the pit and got contaminated with dirt, so they all had bad luck and were hospitalized.
Look, someone from the Su family fell in, and Aunt Su was lying next to her and sleeping.
And her son was also lying there, thinking about something. All three of them fell into the toilet.
As for the banker, although no one from the banker fell in, Zhou Li felt that it might be because their aura was too strong. Three of the four families in the front yard had problems, and his family was also affected to some extent.
That's it, it must be like this.
She felt that this logic was quite seamless.
This is exactly why it happened. There's no doubt about it! She bit the corner of the quilt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was right. Those idiots were not as smart as her to come up with such a rigorous reason. They must have thought it was an accident. Only she, as smart as she was, saw through the truth of the matter.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all.
Although she knew the truth, she was not panicked! She was not afraid! She had a backup plan.
She could go find a witch. She had to find someone to help her at this time. Even if it cost money, it was worth it. She secretly glanced at the others and happened to meet Aunt Su's eyes. She snorted heavily, turned around and lay down, thinking maliciously in her heart that she would never let anyone know about this.
It would be great if only his family could escape from the predicament, while everyone else would be in trouble.
She coughed and said, "Jiang Lu, help me go to the toilet."
Jiang Lu came over quickly: "Okay, Mom, slow down."
Although Jiang Lu was beaten, she was still a good daughter-in-law and took good care of Zhou Lishi. Zhou Lishi: "Let's go."
Aunt Su frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something about Zhou Li that they didn't know. She wanted to investigate, but if she followed them, they probably wouldn't know anything. She suppressed her doubts and thought to herself that she had to keep an eye on this old hag, always feeling that she had some secrets.
When Zhou Li and Jiang Lu went out of the door and saw that there was no one around, she quickly whispered, "I'm telling you, Jiang Lu, I think our yard is possessed by evil spirits. The last time they fell into the manure pit, they must have accidentally brought something out... Ordinary people like us can't handle this kind of thing. You go find the witch, Aunt Lian, she must have a way. Talk to her and ask her to help us see how to solve it."
Jiang Lushen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Mrs. Zhou Li held Jiang Lu and shook her head, "You are stupid. You can't go at this time. If you leave suddenly, they will definitely think too much. Only our family knows about this. It would be better if our family is fine and they are the ones who are in trouble. If they know, then everyone will be fine. This is not good."
She wishes others were bad.
Jiang Lu: "Okay, then I'll go home in the evening to pack your clothes, and then secretly go find Aunt Lian..."
"That'll do!"
Zhou Li thought this was a good idea.
Otherwise, we need to fight against feudal superstition. Otherwise, this confused old lady might be cheated of a lot of money. But now it didn't stop her from being cheated. This person is on the road to being cheated, and he is afraid that someone will take advantage of this matter.
These hospitals are located in a lot of areas, so their compound is much quieter now.
When Mingmei came back from get off work, there were only children playing in the yard. When Xiaoyanzi saw people, she reacted faster than her brother and shouted, "Uncle, my aunt is back."
Zhuang Zhixi hurried out of the room. Mingmei smiled coquettishly and said, "What's up? Do you miss me so much?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Yes, I miss you. Come here."
Mingmei raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Zhixi in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do. She followed Zhuang Zhixi curiously, and the young couple entered the house together. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Close your eyes."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She cooperated and closed her eyes. Zhuang Zhixi smiled softly, pinned a bouquet of flowers behind him, and said, "Okay, open your eyes."
Mingmei opened her eyes: "Huh?"
Nothing? It's you! Zhuang Zhixi pulled his hand out and said, "Dangdang, I give it to you!"
Mingmei: “Ah!”
She laughed instantly, covering her mouth with her hands in surprise, her eyes full of excitement, she raised her cheeks and said, "Give it to me, are you going to give it to me?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, I'll give it to you. Does it look good?"
Mingmei nodded vigorously: "It looks good."
She took the flower, her face flushed redder than the flower itself, and she smiled sweetly, as if she had eaten honey. Her big almond eyes smiled into crescents, she bent down to smell it, and said, "This is a rose."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yeah, you like it?"
Mingmei nodded: "I like it!"
She put her arms around Zhuang Zhixi's neck, kissed him boldly on the cheek, and said, "I like it very much. I like it very much."
Zhuang Zhixi was so proud: "I knew you would like it. Here are nine flowers to prove that we can be together forever."
Mingmei smiled even more, humming a little tune in excitement, and said, "Then I'm going to plug it in. Let's find a bottle."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
He even took credit for it: "When I first came back, Xiaoyanzi asked me for it, but I didn't give it to her."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Then you're the best."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, I love my wife very much. Wait for me, I'm going to my mother's room to get a canning jar, which is perfect for flower arrangement."
Mingmei said angrily: "Okay."
Zhuang Zhixi came back soon, and the couple quickly arranged the roses one by one. Mingmei was extremely happy, like a joyful little magpie. Sometimes a girl's happiness is so simple.
She propped her chin up and said, "It's really beautiful."
Not knowing that she was talking about how good-looking the younger one was, she looked up and asked, "Where are you from?"
You can't pick such beautiful flowers on the roadside.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "I asked for it from Doctor Wang in our clinic. Her friend plucked some flowers from the garden and gave them to her. She was going to take them home to make flower cakes, but I thought it should have a better destination."
Mingmei smiled coquettishly and said, "That's great."
In fact, it doesn't matter where it comes from. What matters is that Zhuang Zhixi has this intention.
She said excitedly, "When the flowers are dry, I will pick the leaves and make them into bookmarks."
Zhuang Zhixi burst out laughing and said, "Won't it wither?"
Mingmei's eyes widened and she said, "Even if it's withered, it's still my favorite flower. Because it was given to me by you."
Zhuang Zhixi was also very happy to hear this. He took his wife in his arms, pecked her on the cheek, and said, "I will give you a lot in the future."
Mingmei hummed softly and nodded with sparkling eyes.
Zhuang Zhixi was happy: "Oh, there's more. I got paid today. Here, I'll give it to you."
He took out his pocket money and gave it to Mingmei. Mingmei took out another ten yuan and said, "Leave this with you. Give it to mom later. It will be your living expenses for next month."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
The young couple discussed the matter.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Tomorrow, I plan to go fishing with my mother. Do you want to go?"
Mingmei jumped up immediately: "I want to go! In our family, apart from the two children, I am the only one who has never been there! How can I be left out?" She really wanted to go. But soon, Mingmei remembered that she had to go to work tomorrow.
But it doesn't matter.
Mingmei: "I'm going to go to my colleague's house later. I'll ask her to take my shift tomorrow, and I'll take her shift next time."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Good! Brother Zhixi, why are you so nice?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Because you are Mingmei, you are my wife."
Mingmei giggled. The young couple were in a particularly good mood today.
Mingmei placed the can with flowers on the table. She was very happy no matter how she looked at it. You know, roses are very rare now. Not to mention, this was given to her by Zhixi. It has a very different meaning.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I originally wanted to go to the movies with you tonight, but since we are going to your colleague's house, let's go to the movies next time."
Mingmei: “Okay~”
She said softly, "Next time, there won't be any new movies anyway, and it's not as interesting as watching people quarreling in the courtyard. The cinema always shows the same movies, and there are no new movies. But the quarrels in our courtyard are always new, and there are new things every time."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Oh, by the way, let me tell you, today at the hospital..."
The young couple are really gossipy.
But is this strange?
It is not surprising. There is little entertainment at this time, so people can talk about something funny for a long time. For example, the incident of Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou falling into the manure pit is still a hot topic. Whenever someone has a guest, they have to take him to "watch" it. It is a "tourist attraction".
You can't swim here - this is also a common street scene.
I heard that the relatives of Old Chen's family in Back Street came all the way from Tong County to come and see the place. That's outrageous!
Today's dinner was good. After dinner, the young couple immediately went to Mingmei's colleague's house. Everything was settled. When they came back, they met Old Man Lan at the corner of the alley. Mingmei said crisply, "Grandpa, where have you been?"
Old Man Lan said arrogantly, "Let's go to a restaurant."
Mingmei: "You're having a good day."
Old Man Lan: "Of course, I'm different from you. I've never been proud of your hard life."
Mingmei chuckled and said, "We'll have meat for dinner, that's good."
Old Man Blue: "Little fool."
Mingmei: “…”
Why is this a sudden personal attack? She seems to be very smart.
Old Man Lan: "What's the point of eating meat with just a few chopsticks?"
Mingmei: “…”
There are still many families who can't even get to eat it.
Old Man Lan: "But I won't treat you to a meal, so whether you eat well or not is up to you."
Mingmei: “Ah, this…”
She didn't want the old man to invite her.
Mingmei felt that she didn't really understand the elderly.
At this time, Old Man Lan took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket and said, "Here."
He put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'm going back to the house."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Mingmei's White Rabbit candy and said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, there's no share for me?"
Old Man Lan: "Oh, you are so filial. How can there be such a filial grandson-in-law like you? Haha, haha~" After enough fake smiles, he said, "Get lost!"
He didn't even look back, but walked in arrogantly, opened the door, bang, and closed it! Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other and burst out laughing. Mingmei said, "My grandpa is really interesting. My mom always says that my grandpa is a weird old man."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I think he's quite interesting. I think if I get along with him for a long time, my ability to piss people off will increase tenfold."
Mingmei: “Puff!”
She glared at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "You, you are a bad student."
Zhuang Zhixi said innocently: "I'm obviously fine."
Mingmei peeled the candy and put it in her mouth, saying, "It's so sweet."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's go back to the house. I want to taste the candy to see if it's sweet."
Mingmei: "I ate it all, how do you taste it?"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed meaningfully, and Mingmei suddenly realized what was happening. She reached out and hit him, saying, "Why are you so dishonest?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “How could that be possible!”
Mingmei: “Humph!”
The two of them pushed and shoved each other and soon went back to the house to taste the White Rabbit milk candy to see if it was sweet... Well, it was very sweet.
Really, very sweet.
Zhuang Zhixi felt that he had eaten White Rabbit Toffees so many times, but this time it seemed sweeter than any other time. It was so sweet that it touched people's hearts. This excessive sweetness caused the couple to... oversleep.
Zhao Guihua: "...I really want to thank you. Can't you sleep in on another day? You are so lazy. The sun is already shining on your buttocks, but you don't even get up. I am so anxious."
The young couple who had just woken up blushed and quickly put their hands together to apologize.
They were indeed wrong in this matter. Zhao Guihua had even told them to leave early yesterday!
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, let's go."
Liang Meifen escorted them out and asked, "Are you not coming back for lunch?"
Zhao Guihua nodded: "I won't be back. You guys just stay here for lunch and wait for us to return triumphantly! We'll have a good meal tonight!"
Miriam Leung: “…OK!”
In fact, she doubted whether her mother-in-law could do it. She had bought the fishing rod for a long time, but she had not successfully caught a fish. She could not trust her. However, Leung Mei-fun did not dare to speak. She said, "Then I will wait for you to come back in the evening and cook."
"OK."
"We'll stew the fish when we come back from fishing tonight."
Zhao Guihua was very arrogant, and Liang Meifen, her daughter-in-law, was very suspicious.
"Okay, let's go, don't delay."
Two cars, four people, set off together.
This time, Zhuang Laonian also went with them.
Zhuang Zhixi carried Mingmei, and Zhuang Laonian carried Zhao Guihua. They were fully armed, with fishing rods, fishing nets, baskets, and backpacks. They were ready for a big fight.
No matter what the harvest is, looking at their equipment, if we don't get a little more, it would be a shame to have such a complete equipment.
It was Mingmei's first time to go up the mountain with them. She was extremely excited and hummed a little song along the way: "Liuyang River, turning over several bends..."
Zhuang Zhixi quickly followed up: "It's dozens of miles by water to the Xiangjiang River..."
When the young couple arrived in the suburbs, they didn't care about anything else and sang happily.
Zhao Guihua had actually forgotten the lyrics of this song, but the tune was very familiar to her. She didn't like those modern pop songs at all. She still liked these old songs, and as for modern songs, she only liked Phoenix Legend.
She was happy to listen to them, but not to others because it was not to her taste.
She sang along with her son and daughter-in-law, while Zhuang Laonian pedaled his bike with a smile on his face.
It took the family of four a long time to ride to the suburbs, and it took a lot of time to ride up the mountain, otherwise Zhao Guihua would have said to leave earlier. Indeed, the distance was not short. Mingmei felt that they had been riding for more than an hour and a half, almost two hours.
It's quite far.
Come to think of it, this is the suburbs.
They went up the mountain, and Mingmei felt that she couldn't see enough. She looked around. After all, she rarely went up the mountain. She had always been in the city since she was a child. She rarely came to places like this. Generally speaking, children in the city would not come here. It was so far away, and it was not easy for children to come here without adults.
Mingmei looked around and said, "I think there must be a lot of wild fruits in this mountain. Let's take a look around when the time comes."
Zhao Guihua nodded: "I think so too."
Mingmei laughed.
Although they said they were picking wild fruits, their destination was still the pond, and fishing was the most important thing. No matter how delicious the wild fruits were, could they beat the fish? Of course not! The family of four quickly ran to the pond. To be honest, the location of the pond was quite special. If you found it, it would be easy to find it. looked like a broken road, so naturally no one would come here.
The four people arrived, Mingmei jumped off the back of the bicycle, and quickly looked forward, and saw the green mountain pond with rippling water...
Mingmei: “It’s so beautiful here.”
She swallowed and added, "There must be fish!"
Okay! I'm craving for it! (End of this chapter)
