Zhuang Zhixi teased: "You better count carefully, or you will forget it again."
This is a joke. Mingmei looked so silly when she counted money for the first time.
Mingmei: "I wanted to tell you about my family background, but seeing you like this, I don't want to say it anymore."
Zhuang Zhixi burst out laughing and said quickly: "My dear wife, it's my fault. It's all my fault. Can you tell me?" He was a very flexible person. Even if his face turned red from drinking, he would still be humble when it came time.
"young married woman......"
This sentence was really sticky and Mingmei was amused by him. She came over and said proudly: "I am very good at saving money."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Oh?”
Mingmei: "I originally had 500 yuan, and this time I sold it for 300 yuan. That's not right. Didn't you say you also bought a kitchen knife? But you still gave me 300 yuan."
She blinked and felt that the account was wrong.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "This three hundred is an integer. I thought I'd save it according to the integer. I bought it with my own pocket money, and I got the kitchen knife ticket from the hospital."
He counted on his fingers and said, "Wife, look at me, I get five dollars a month for pocket money, and I don't spend any of it carelessly, do I?"
Mingmei: “Uh-huh, no.”
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Then kiss me."
Mingmei's eyes widened suddenly. How did the topic turn to this? But looking at Zhuang Zhixi's expression, she did not hesitate. She leaned forward slightly and kissed him on the cheek. Zhuang Zhixi caught her and gave her a profound "education" on what a real kiss is.
Mingmei: “Hmm.”
The two of them talked in depth for a long time, and Zhuang Zhixi let go of Mingmei. This time, Mingmei's face was also red, like a red apple. Mingmei said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you still going to settle the score?"
Zhuang Zhixi pulled her over, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Go ahead."
Mingmei: “…How can I explain this?”
Zhuang Zhixi said confidently: "I asked you to make a softer chair, but you are not happy about it?"
Mingmei: “…”
That's really far-fetched talk.
But when she got close to Zhuang Zhixi, she could see his long eyelashes, black eyes and fair face. How could a man look more delicate than a woman? Mingmei looked at him without blinking.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Am I so good-looking that you are staring at me in a daze."
Mingmei: "You are talking nonsense."
Her face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "I didn't."
Although he said so, he still looked at Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Why don't we take a bath together at home?"
Mingmei jumped up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are just talking nonsense to me. Let's settle the score."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at her like a frightened rabbit and laughed loudly. When he had laughed enough, he said, "Okay, you go ahead."
Mingmei: "Where were we talking about just now?"
She scratched her head and started to grab her hair. Zhuang Zhixi said, "I think Xiaoyanzi learned this from you. She grabs her hair whenever she is confused."
Mingmei: “…”
I didn't learn the good things from her, but I learned the bad things from her?
Besides, Xiaoyanzi is not her child, and she doesn't have much contact with her, so how can she be imitating her?
Mingmei: "No, don't accuse me."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled.
Mingmei: "Let's settle the accounts."
She started over: "I originally had 400 yuan, the betrothal gift and the dowry from my mother, plus my scattered savings, a total of more than 540 yuan. Then we received three months' salary, more than 30 yuan a month for me, and I also received a monthly subsidy for my bravery. You have to pay for living expenses and 5 yuan of private money, and you give me 13.5 yuan a month. Add the 300 yuan this time, and I now have..." Mingmei took a deep breath: "999!"
After the calculation, Mingmei swallowed her saliva and said in disbelief: "Are we so rich now? Ah, I thought we still had to save up to get one thousand, but now we are only a little short? Ah! It's so little!"
Zhuang Zhixi was also puzzled: "Haven't we spent any money since we got married?"
Mingmei thought about it and shook her head: "No flowers!"
She was also puzzled and said, "I used to like buying clothes and food, but why haven't I spent any money recently?"
Mingmei was quite puzzled, and Zhuang Zhixi was also a little puzzled, but soon, the couple's eyes met, and he said faintly: "It's because there have been too many things happening recently."
Mingmei nodded silently.
And...it's really like that.
In this yard, something small happens every three days and something big happens every five days. They enjoy eating and drinking the melons to their heart's content. The first thing they do after get off work every day is to go home quickly, for fear that they will be late and miss the next big show.
There is no time for shopping anymore.
This saves money.
Then, they would make trouble whenever they wanted, and they would often take disgusting routes. For example, they had an indissoluble bond with the public toilet at the entrance of the alley, which made them... disgusting and completely lost their appetite.
I also eat less snacks.
The food at the old manor was pretty good, and they weren't mean. She didn't eat much, so she was always full. The yard was noisy and lively, and it was often disgusting. So Mingmei didn't eat snacks except for meals. The money was saved up.
Mingmei: "Oh my god, I didn't expect it to have such an effect."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "They have made an outstanding contribution to our family's savings."
Mingmei: “…”
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Mingmei's silly look and said, "Keep the money yourself and don't have to report it to me in the future. This is all your money. I didn't contribute anything to you. You earned all this by yourself."
To be honest, it is true. Zhuang Zhixi only pays 13.5 yuan a month, and has only paid it to Mingmei for three months.
That is to say, out of the nearly 1,000 miles, Zhuang Zhixi only paid 40 yuan, and the rest was earned by Mingmei. Even when selling snakes, Mingmei killed them. As a man, Zhuang Zhixi is not the kind of person who flatters himself and thinks he has contributed.
He leaned his head on his wife's shoulder and said, "Am I really your gigolo?"
Mingmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family. If you don't pay for living expenses, how can I save all my salary? Besides, our family doesn't eat badly. My mother's family is well-off and is one of the better families in the family compound. In fact, their living standard is about the same as it is now."
This is why, although the food is delicious and we are willing to spend it, sometimes the supplies are just not enough.
Mingmei feels that this is pretty good now.
Zhuang Zhixi thought his wife was really open-minded. He laughed and said, "My wife is really nice."
Mingmei snorted, poked him and said, "Since I'm so nice, you have to treat me well and don't be half-hearted. I tell you, I'm very strict. If you don't satisfy me, I'll beat you up."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Beat me? How?"
Mingmei: "I'll beat you into a pig's head, and I can tell you that I have a lot of helpers."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You can't bear to do that. Look at my face. Are you willing to hit me?"
Mingmei raised her chin proudly: "Why would I be reluctant? I'm pretty good looking, and many people like me."
Zhuang Zhixi's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile: "Well, my dear Comrade Mingmei, tell me, who likes you?"
Mingmei put her hands on her hips and said, "There are so many people here. What's the matter? Are you jealous?"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed, took her into his arms, and said, "Yes, I am jealous. But it is useless if others like you. The lovely Xiao Mingmei has married me."
Mingmei giggled again and whispered playfully, "I was just bragging."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
His wife is a really down-to-earth person.
Mingmei: "It's okay to brag. My mom said that the people who pursued her lined up from Jinling to Guangzhou."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
My mother-in-law may not be bragging.
Although Mingmei looks good, she is a very straightforward person and may not be controlled by her mother-in-law.
However, Zhuang Zhixi really likes girls with Mingmei's personality. Although she is simple and innocent, she has a bit of the unrestrained nature of a big city girl, and she is not aggressive.
That is, Mingmei is a typical girl who grew up in a well-off family. At least she has no worries about food and clothing, and her family members spoil her. So her personality is very simple and lively. Sometimes she is noisy, but very cute.
Zhuang Zhixi pinched Mingmei's cheeks and said, "My wife is so pretty."
Mingmei laughed and said, "You only know how to look at faces."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Aren't you also just good at looking at faces?"
The two of them burst out laughing, and felt that it made a lot of sense.
Both of them are fans of beauty.
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Okay, pack up your things, we'll go take a shower later."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Oh.”
When they were together, Mingmei suddenly asked, "Have you ever been on a blind date before?"
This means that one is going to dig three feet into the ground.
Zhuang Zhixi: "No, you are the first person I went on a blind date with."
Mingmei said "oh" and asked again: "So, did you have someone you liked when you were in school? Was there anyone who liked you?"
Zhuang Zhixi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Why, you didn't ask before we got married, but now you're asking?"
But despite saying this, he still said very honestly: "If I have someone I like, I won't go on blind dates. I won't cheat on lesbians no matter what. As for people who like me, there should be some, but who cares if there are any? I don't care much. What does it have to do with me? I don't like them. What about you? I've been so frank, you should tell me too, right?"
Mingmei: “…”
She said crisply, "Didn't I learn martial arts from my uncle when I was a child? I was quite powerful and good at fighting. People in our area, including our family compound, called me Sister Xiao Ming."
Although she was pretty and charming, they grew up together, so who knew who? So Mingmei had no romantic relationships since she was a child.
After all, children don't know what is good and what is not good, they just know that being beaten hurts! When they grow up, this feeling is already engraved in their bones. We are all brothers and sisters, why talk about love? Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help but cover his face after hearing Mingmei's words. Mingmei immediately reacted and said, "Zhuang Zhixi, what do you mean, are you making fun of me?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “…No.”
His shoulders were shaking.
Mingmei stepped on him hard.
"Ouch." Zhuang Zhixi: "Wife, wife, I am wrong, isn't it okay? I just think it's funny."
Mingmei: "Why are you laughing?"
Perhaps she had opened up a conversation box called the past, Mingmei said: "But I almost got engaged to someone."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Ah?”
He looked at Mingmei in surprise, and Mingmei waved her hands, "It was the elders who arranged the matchmaking. My dad's son is the deputy station chief of the freight station. He was a slug who followed me around since he was a kid and was bullied all day long. I stood up for him a few times. His dad thought I was a perfect match for his son and even said that the two families should arrange a baby marriage. Don't you think that's outrageous? But my dad brushed it off by saying that the children were still young. Later, when we were a little older, fifteen or sixteen years old, his dad brought up the old matter again. Our family was definitely not willing to do so. Why should I agree? I didn't like the slug.
Zhuang Zhixi: “Puff!”
Mingmei: "Because of this, his family has always felt embarrassed, after all, it was Slug who ran away. During the National Day last year, my dad went to his house for a drink, and when he came back he said that I had to find a partner for me as soon as possible, because Slug might be demobilized. If he is demobilized, then the old comrade might bring up the matter of marriage again. If he really brings it up, it would be embarrassing to refuse directly. Anyway, I'm at the age to find a partner, so why not meet someone. My brother mentioned you at the time, and I don't know what kind of magic potion you fed my brother, but my brother really described you very well, as a rare young man in heaven and on earth. That's why my parents agreed to meet someone, and I didn't expect that we would fall in love as soon as we met."
This was also the reason why Mingmei was anxious to get married. If she was asked to go on a blind date with a slug, she would definitely not be happy. How could she live like that? Of course, she could refuse, but the relationship between the two families would definitely be completely ruined.
Because the Slug family only has this one child, and they have always treated him like a treasure. If she dislikes him, the relationship between the two families will definitely be over. Although, even if it is over, you can't joke about your own happiness. But since she has to find a partner anyway, it's better to do it earlier.
This also avoids offending people.
When Zhuang Zhixi heard this, he rubbed his wife's head and said, "My wife is really likable."
Mingmei glared at him: "Isn't it? The slugs were scared away. I am really popular."
Zhuang Zhixi: "No, I mean, my wife is the kind of daughter-in-law that the elders would like."
This person is straightforward and straightforward, and he doesn't beat around the bush. He's not the type who would argue with others, but rather soft and cute, and easy to talk to, which naturally makes the elders like him. Didn't you see that his mother, who is so fierce, is very nice to Mingmei?
Who would be willing to speak loudly to such a lovely girl?
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I should thank your uncle. If he hadn't taught you martial arts when you were a child, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a chance now. The people pursuing you would surely line up from our Xinghuali to Tianjinwei."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said coquettishly, "You are the only one who can talk."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I've taken advantage of you, so of course I can talk."
He laughed softly, his tone very happy: "I like you."
Mingmei blushed and said, "I miss you too."
Zhuang Zhixi put his forehead against hers and said, "Then... we are mandarin ducks..."
"Get lost!" Mingmei stood up immediately: "I'll go ask mom when we can go out to take a shower. You, stop talking nonsense to me."
She ran out whoosh, what a frivolous guy.
The two of them stayed in the room for quite a while. When they came out, they saw that everyone had finished eating. Chef Li drank just enough and ate happily. He walked to the backyard humming a little tune. Mingmei poked her head out and said, "Mom, when are we going to take a bath?"
Zhao Guihua: "Let's go now. If we're any later, it will be too late."
"OK."
Leung Mei-fen sighed softly, she had her period and couldn't go!
Loss, loss again.
But it was obvious that no one cared about her mood. Zhao Guihua said, "Hutou, you follow your dad; Xiaoyanzi, you follow your grandma."
"good."
Children don't need tickets to take a bath, they just follow the adults.
Both Tiger Head and Little Swallow were extremely happy. There was nothing fun for children to play with at that time. They could just play games like "Eagle Catches Chicken", "Jumping on the Squares", "Kicking Shuttlecock" and so on. It was good enough for boys to have a "war" or ride horses.
But taking a bath is equivalent to "playing in the water", so children still like it very much.
Tiger Head murmured softly: "I want to follow grandma."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I also want to follow my wife, is it possible?"
This earned them roll of the eyes from Zhao Guihua and Mingmei. This guy was really talking nonsense. He didn't even think before saying anything.
Zhao Guihua held the basin and said, "Let's go."
Then he told Leung Mei-Fun: "You stay at home and look after the house, don't go out. We've had a good meal today. If everyone goes out, there might be some greedy cats knocking on the door."
Liang Meifen immediately became serious: "Okay, don't worry, Mom, I'll keep an eye on you! No one can come and steal a penny."
Zhao Guihua nodded: "I'm glad you understand."
The whole group set out together. Passing by the toilet, Zhuang Zhixi sighed: "Oh, I really miss Brother Zhou Qun and Brother Fendou. I feel like I have lost a lot of fun when they are not here. No one is swimming in this toilet anymore."
"Stinky!" Little Swallow covered her nose.
Everyone else laughed, and the family came to the bathhouse. Zhao Guihua took out the bath ticket and bought another one, saying generously, "I'll treat you."
Zhuang Zhixi said with a playful smile: "Mom, I knew you were the most generous."
Zhao Guihua: "Get out of my way."
They received the keys and walked to the men's and women's baths. There were few people at this time and the pools were very clean. Mingmei went in directly, soaked the towel with water and covered her face. Zhao Guihua also brought Xiaoyanzi in. Xiaoyanzi happily turned around and said, "Play with water."
Zhao Guihua: "Don't slip, come here."
She carried the child into the water. Little Swallow leaned against the edge of the pool, gasping for breath, and said, "It's so hot."
Zhao Guihua: "Can't you bear it?"
"Yes!" Xiaoyanzi was reluctant to go out. The child was dangling in the water. Mingmei took down the towel and looked carefully. Besides the three of them, there was only one other person in the bathroom. That person had also finished washing and went out with a towel draped over him.
Zhao Guihua smiled: "It's like we have booked the entire place."
Mingmei: "It's better to have fewer people, it's quieter, too many people make it chaotic. Before I got married, every time I took a shower before the New Year, I would meet a group of people, and sometimes they would fight over a faucet."
Even though no one comes here on normal days, it is different during the days leading up to the Chinese New Year. It is packed almost every day and people may even fight for the tap.
Zhao Guihua: "Don't understand?"
Mingmei nodded.
Zhao Guihua: "Because of the living environment, your family compound is a building, and the water fee is charged to each household. But here, many are quadrangle courtyards, and the taps are outside. In addition, our water fee is charged per person. In this case, the price is the same whether you use more or less. Naturally, everyone is more willing to wash at home. After all, if you don't wash at home, others will wash at home, so you will suffer a loss. Another thing is that we have quadrangle courtyards here, and it is very convenient to pour water directly. If you encounter a tiger, you dare to wash in the yard in winter, which is also very convenient. But you can't do that, right? Buildings are relatively not that convenient."
Zhao Guihua understands better than Mingmei. If the buildings were built after the 1980s or 1990s and were equipped with showers and other facilities, then buildings would naturally be more convenient. But this is not the case now. Most places are very small and there is no room for showers, so taking a shower at home is extremely inconvenient.
So the income from the bathhouses there is better than here.
Because it is inconvenient for people to stay at home, they are used to going to the bathhouse. Once this habit is formed, it is not easy to change. But similarly, they are used to taking a bath at home. This is also the habit of their area.
Mingmei suddenly realized, and she said, "No wonder, I don't think there are many people here."
At this time, she sighed and said, "Then aren't we at a disadvantage if we don't take a shower at home?"
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at her and said, "How can it be so different?"
Mingmei burst out laughing and nodded: "That's right."
She smiled softly and said, "Mom, when you're done soaking, I'll rub your back."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay."
They can rub each other's backs. If you think about it, there is a back scrubber on the men's side, but not on the women's side. It's really a difference in treatment. But if you think about it again, it's probably not a difference in treatment. If the women's bath has one, they will also lose their jobs.
Housewives at this time are more frugal and are reluctant to do those things.
Since they had spent money, they must have a good wash. When Mingmei and her group came out, the shop was already preparing to close. Because they were almost on time, the toll collector rolled his eyes at them.
Yes, at this time, if you still expect to warmly entertain customers, just forget it.
Zhuang Zhixi came out with wet hair and immediately smiled when he saw his wife. Mingmei had her head wrapped in a towel, making her look like Avanti in the picture book.
But this is not just the case with his wife, his mother and niece are the same too.
Tiger Head laughed at his sister loudly, and Little Swallow said in a baby voice: "Brother, you don't understand. This way the wind won't enter the body through the hair."
She said seriously: "Grandma said this is the best way."
"Okay, let's go home."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Mingmei and moved closer to her. Because she had been bathing for a long time, her skin was white and pink, making her look like a super sweet peach. Zhuang Zhixi wanted to take a bite of her. He reached out and held Mingmei's little hand, saying, "Wife, are you cold?"
Mingmei shook her head: "It's not cold."
Although the weather is not particularly warm at this time, it is already past winter and the climate is good. Some people have started to wear light clothes. Although it is a little cooler at night, they have been bathing for a long time and are warm from the inside out, so they don’t feel too cold.
The couple held hands, oblivious to the people around them.
The way they act so disgustingly is really painful to watch.
Zhuang Zhiyuan thought, you just got married, you will know after a while, love or something, it will be gone after a long time, you hold your wife's hand just like holding your left hand with your right hand. He muttered in his heart, but still held his two children's hands, and the two children jumped and jumped.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at the child jumping around and suddenly asked, "Wife, do you like boys or girls?"
Mingmei: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, I like my own children."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "That's right."
Mingmei glanced at Zhuang Zhixi, and Zhuang Zhixi said, "What's wrong?"
Mingmei thought for a moment and said, "I want to have a baby in two years."
She didn't want to give birth too early, she was still young, if she gave birth too early, she would have to take care of the child in the future, Mingmei felt so worried when she thought about it. She was so straightforward, Zhuang Zhixi was stunned for a moment, but he agreed with this point of view: "Then give birth later, the little bastard will scream and cry all day, it's very annoying."
He pointed at Little Tiger and Little Swallow in front of him and said, "These two cried all day when they were little. Even so, people in our courtyard said they were relatively easy to take care of. This is really killing me."
Hutou and Xiaoyanzi turned around and looked at their uncle silently. How could their uncle hurt others?
Zhuang Zhixi: "What are you looking at? I'm telling the truth. I eat and sleep, I poop and cry. I've experienced how painful it is."
Although he didn't have to take care of the child at that time, it made his head buzz just seeing him.
Mingmei: "Oh."
She was the same. She also felt that having a child was a big deal because she saw how her nephew had to be taken care of when he was young. The couple looked at each other with sympathy and said, "No rush, no rush."
"It's better to have the baby earlier. Having the baby is a major event in life." As the eldest brother, Zhuang Zhiyuan felt that he had something to say.
But obviously, no one listened.
Zhuang Zhixi: "My eldest brother is on business trips all day long and is not at home for a month or two. Of course, he doesn't think it's a big deal because he doesn't take care of me."
Mingmei glanced at Zhuang Zhiyuan and said "oh".
Zhuang Zhixi: "At that time, my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law were both working, and my mother brought up Little Tiger and Little Swallow. She barely took care of them. Even when there was work to do, it was done by my eldest sister-in-law. Of course, he didn't feel how difficult it was to take care of children."
Mingmei uttered "oh" again.
Zhuang Zhixi: "And..."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Shut up!"
The elder brother became angry and embarrassed.
This bastard Zhuang Zhixi is always trying to sabotage things.
Zhuang Zhixi: "You see, the truth is always unpleasant to hear."
Zhao Guihua: "Boss, shut up. They are the young couple who can decide their own affairs. Just take care of your own family. You don't need to interfere in their affairs."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…Oh.”
Since I have spoken, he can only shut up.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed triumphantly, and his brother rolled his eyes at him. Zhuang Zhixi really got a lot of eye rolls today.
However, although I was tired today, I gained a lot.
The food is good too.
When they got home, they saw Liang Meifen sitting at the door. The lights in the front yard were off, so they must have gone to bed. Zhao Guihua said, "We're tired after working all day. Let's go to bed early."
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. As soon as they entered the room, Zhuang Zhixi hugged his wife. Mingmei: "Well..."
My mouth is blocked.
This young man just has endless energy. The two of them quickly fell on the bed. Zhuang Zhixi reached out and rubbed the wall randomly, and finally found the light cord. He pulled it and turned off the light!
Monday, it's a new day!
Mingmei got up late again.
It's not that she's lazy, but there's someone who keeps pestering her every night and doesn't rest until late at night. How can she be energetic? Mingmei was so lazy that she leaned against the head of the bed, put on her clothes slowly, and said, "Zhuang Zhixi, you can't do this anymore."
Zhuang Zhixi hadn't been up for long at this time, just one minute earlier than Mingmei.
He was putting on his shoes and said, "I'm like that?"
Mingmei's eyes widened. "That's it. How could it be like that? Look, it's endless every day. It delays my work."
Zhuang Zhixi blinked innocently: "Well, since we just got married, we should always communicate more with each other and explore the mysteries of life. Don't you think so?"
Mingmei blushed: "What are you saying? Get out of my way."
She thought this person was really going too far.
Zhuang Zhixi stood up and pecked her on the cheek, saying, "Okay, come, I'll help you get dressed. If you don't have the strength, I'll ride my bike to take you to work."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Aren't you going to be late yourself?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's okay once or twice. I think everyone can understand that I just got married and want to spend time with my wife and explore life together."
Mingmei punched him twice for saying this.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Why are you hitting me? They are much older than me, and they know more than me. Come on, get up."
He pulled his wife up, and the two of them went out.
Unexpectedly, today, Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife also woke up late. Hmm, it seems that yesterday's turtle soup has some other effects? Everyone wakes up late, so it doesn't matter all of a sudden.
However, Zhuang Zhixi didn't know that his elder brother simply got up late, which was different from him.
Early in the morning, there are the most people around the pool in the yard, all vying for space.
But it has been okay recently. After all, there are many old and young patients hospitalized in the courtyard, so their front yard is much more relaxed. They don’t even have to fight for washing. Zhuang Zhixi sighed: "I really hope they can stay in the hospital for a few more days."
That's what they say, but that's definitely impossible.
Hospitalization is not free, and it is almost time for me to be discharged.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "It's settled. I can see the excitement today."
"Hmm?" Everyone who was having breakfast together looked up at Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Today is Monday. We have to go to the hospital to restock supplies every Monday morning. I guess they were discharged this morning. Maybe I can run into them. Even if I don't, can't I take the initiative to go over and watch the fun?"
This really works.
Zhao Guihua warned her son: "Stay away from the excitement, so as not to get caught in the crossfire. These people will not care about anything when they fight. Aunt Su and Aunt Zhou are used to blackmailing people, so don't let them scheme against you."
Zhuang Zhixi opened his eyes wide after hearing this, then smiled meaningfully and said, "Mom, you look down on your son too much, don't you? If I could be schemed against by them, I wouldn't have any chance of survival."
Zhao Guihua curled her lips, but then she thought again, this guy has never been schemed against, it's good enough that he doesn't disgust others, Zhao Guihua felt relieved and said, "I'm going to go find Aunt Wang today and urge Uncle Lan to find a partner, we can't be later than Bai Fendou."
Mingmei spit out a chuckle: "Mom, you're competing against Bai Fendou."
Zhao Guihua: "Of course."
Anyway, she felt that it would be easier for Uncle Lan to find a partner than for Bai to struggle.
Mingmei chuckled. Zhuang Zhixi looked at her bright smile and said, "Okay, stop laughing. Now that you're full, let's go. I'll take you to work."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She tossed and turned for half the night and her legs were weak. It would be best if someone could give her a ride.
However, when these words came out, everyone looked at them. Mingmei was very calm and said, "I was tired yesterday."
Zhao Guihua raised her eyebrows without commenting. The young couple quickly went out and happened to meet Old Man Lan. Although he was old, he also rode a bicycle. He pushed the bicycle out and said, "Hey, Grandpa, you bought a bicycle."
Old Man Lan: "Fuck Mingmei."
Mingmei took a look and found that the person looked very familiar. It was indeed her mother's.
Old Man Lan: "The factory manager said he would approve a bicycle ticket for me. I'll get it next month. I'll make do with it for now."
Special talents like him are treated better.
Several people came out together, and Old Man Lan reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of White Rabbit, and said, "Here."
Ming Mei smiled happily: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Zhuang Zhixi was very sad: "Why is there no share for me?"
Old Man Lan snorted, got on the bike, and rushed out at a whoosh. This speed doesn't seem like an old man at all. When Bai Fendou bought a new bike and showed it off, he didn't ride so fast.
This old man is really a speedster.
Zhuang Zhixi shouted: "Grandpa, slow down, don't fall."
Old man Lan didn't respond, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Zhuang Zhixi: "This old man is really unique."
Mingmei chuckled and said, "Neither my uncle nor my mother can control him, let alone you, the grandson-in-law. I heard from my mother that the old man has taken it easy now. When my grandmother was still alive, the two of them were more troublesome than the sum of their parts. Later, my grandmother passed away, and my grandfather became much quieter. Although he remarried, it seems that he doesn't have the same interests as her."
Zhuang Zhixi: "...So, your grandpa's current state is the result of restraint?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…I've seen it.”
The result of Zhuang Zhixi sending Mingmei was that he was late as he wished. Fortunately, their infirmary was kind and no one said anything to him, but just made a few jokes. Zhuang Zhixi: "Look, as compensation, I want to tell you some gossip. You all laugh at me, so I'll stop telling you, right?"
"Hey, what's the gossip? Come on, why don't you tell me?"
"Yes, you have to tell me, hurry up."
"You gossip, you don't know what's going on in the factory... Is it your courtyard? Is it the young widow, or is it Bai Doufen Zhou Qun?"
Everyone immediately started gossiping. Zhuang Zhixi laughed, "You know that when we paid salaries, Wang Xiangxiu collected the salaries of the Bai family father and son, right? Damn, she didn't even give them the money. Last night, Old Man Bai was yelling in the yard asking for the money..."
Zhuang Zhixi vividly described the situation at the scene.
This kind of thing would have spread even if he didn't say anything. After all, their place was a staff quarters. Even if he didn't say anything, it would have spread throughout the factory before noon today, so Zhuang Zhixi was not very polite.
Anyway, after this gossip was told, no one would make fun of him anymore.
Well, it's not bad for him to contribute some gossip about the young widow for his own benefit.
This business is worth it.
"I told you that the young widow is not a good person. You said she should marry Bai Fendou? She is already receiving a salary from him, but she is still dragging it out. What's the point?"
"Who says it's not?"
"I think she doesn't like Bai Fendou at all. She just likes his money."
"Ah, Bai Fendou is more than a good match for her. She is a widow with three boys and a mother-in-law. She really wants to find a man to help her. Why does she look down on Bai Fendou? No matter how bad Bai Fendou is, he is still a grown man."
Everyone started talking about it. Zhuang Zhixi packed up his things and said, "I'm going to the hospital."
"Go ahead, take the list with you, and come back after counting the goods."
"good."
While everyone was still discussing whether they were a good match, Zhuang Zhixi was shooed away like a fly by waving his hands.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Sure enough, if you give them a topic, they can talk for a whole day.
Zhuang Zhixi came to the hospital and saw many people walking upstairs. Zhuang Zhixi's sensitive radar was activated immediately. He would never believe it if they said there was nothing wrong.
And, nine out of ten times, it was someone he knew.
After all, there aren't many people who would cause trouble in a place like a hospital.
Zhuang Zhixi hurried upstairs and saw everyone gathered in front of the ward. Oh no, it was indeed like this.
Zhuang Zhixi stepped forward quickly. Being tall has its advantages. With this step, he could see past the crowd and into the room. He had a clear view.
As expected, it was Aunt Zhou and Aunt Su, a showdown between the two aunts. This morning, everyone in their ward had to be discharged. After all, they couldn't treat the hospital as their home, so they would basically be discharged in three days.
But at this moment, Jiang Lu suddenly mentioned that his house had been robbed.
Aunt Zhou knew that her house was robbed. After all, Zhou Qun was hospitalized because of this incident, and she was delayed in picking her up. Aunt Zhou must have known everything. But because the thief was caught on the spot, she thought the things were left behind.
Aunt Zhou was furious all of a sudden. It could be said that it was a combination of old and new hatred. Her son was injured because of this family who came to steal things, and she was not brought back in time because of this incident. How could she not be angry?
She rushed directly to Aunt Su's bedside and slapped her twice.
Aunt Su was packing up. It was true that she was bitten by a dog, but the injury was not serious. She should have been discharged from the hospital yesterday, but it happened to be Sunday, so she delayed it for a day. She never expected that she would explode while she was packing up today.
She was like a mad dog, rushing up and hitting people.
Aunt Su is no match for Aunt Zhou. She usually doesn't fight openly. You have to know that she has always been weak. She is good at mobilizing the masses to stand up for her.
But this time, there was no one in the yard, only a white struggle.
Fortunately, Bai Fendou was also very supportive. To him, Aunt Su was like his mother-in-law, and he would not let it go if his mother-in-law was bullied! Bai Fendou could not bear to see her cry, so the Nth melee broke out in the ward. Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu could not bear to see their mother get hurt, and the scene became chaotic again...
When Zhuang Zhixi came over, he saw exactly this scene: many doctors and patients gathered at the door, not daring to come forward.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Look what I said, I guessed it right, I guessed it right!"
