Zhuang Zhixi was transferred to another job.
Although the formalities had not been completed yet, he couldn't wait to announce it to everyone when he got home.
Zhao Guihua lamented that the people at that time were relatively simple and honest. If it had not been put on paper for decades, it would have been messed up by others. But now there is almost no such situation.
There are good people and bad people in every era, but the overall environment is not so complicated now.
The banker did not tell anyone about this, but the neighbors in the yard found out about it very quickly. After all, there was a big-mouthed old white man. The old white man felt very uncomfortable and sad.
This opportunity originally belonged to him.
If he hadn't suddenly lost his legs and couldn't go on stage, this opportunity would have been him!
The old man felt that he had missed a great opportunity, but he did not expect that if it was a normal performance, there might not be any transfer. It was because Zhuang Zhixi bravely saved the situation and did not let down that the matter was settled.
The White-Haired Girl is an old play, and everyone knows the general plot and the lines, but no one else offered to save the situation, only Zhuang Zhixi rushed out. This kind of courage and ability to take responsibility is worthy of praise.
The old man felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat. He came back and lay on the bed, looking unhappy.
Aunt Su closed the door when she saw Old Man Bai coming back. Her eyes flickered, and she straightened her clothes and prepared to go to the door. She knew that Old Man Bai was playing Yang Bailao. He had said it several times in the yard, and they all remembered it. But it was obvious that he was not the one actually performing today.
Later, the kid from the Sui family passed on the message, and everyone realized that this guy was so nervous that he didn't go on stage.
Aunt Su usually likes to show up at times like this. When can you best capture a man's heart? When he is lonely, lonely and cold, when leaves him. The more depressed he is, the more you should show your consideration.
Aunt Su went out and came to the door of the Bai family and knocked: "Brother Bai, it's me, Sister Su."
When the old man heard her voice, he said without hesitation: "Come in, the door is not locked."
Aunt Su came in and saw him lying on the bed. She asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so listless? I know what's wrong with you."
The old man in white immediately looked at Aunt Su.
Aunt Su sat down beside the bed and said, "As a man, you should get up where you fell. There will always be a next time. Next time, can't we just behave well?"
The old man sighed and said, "You only know one side of the story."
Aunt Su was puzzled: "What?"
Could there be something else going on? The old man was full of resentment. He said, "It's still that guy from the banker."
Aunt Su's eyes flickered as she quickly asked, "Did he deliberately plot against you?"
If this is the case, we must publicize it. Let Zhao Guihua brag all day long, and tell everyone about his family's scandals. Thinking of this, she became even more excited and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The old man wiped his face and said, "It's not that he plotted against me. If anything, it's the leader's fault. If he hadn't tripped, I wouldn't have been so scared that my legs would have gone limp and I wouldn't have missed a great opportunity."
Aunt Su: "What opportunity?"
Old man Bai: "Zhuang Zhixi was praised by the leaders for performing this show and was transferred to the Propaganda Department. This opportunity was originally mine, if I hadn't been so weak that I couldn't get on stage. How could Zhuang Zhixi have gotten his turn? This was my chance! And I missed it so hard."
Aunt Su was shocked: "What? Transferred to the Propaganda Department!!!"
The old man nodded and said bitterly, "I am currently working in the logistics department, and I am assigned a service post. If I can be transferred to the Propaganda Department, I will be a cadre post, and the salary will be higher. Not to mention that the job is much more respectable than logistics. What a great opportunity, what a great opportunity I missed!"
He simply looked up to the sky and cried, feeling that fate was playing a huge joke on him.
Although he is not young anymore, he can still do the work of the Propaganda Department! Besides, what kind of work is there in an office?
Missed it, really missed it.
She said urgently, "Can't you talk to your boss? This was clearly your opportunity, why did you give it to him? Why? That's not how things are done. We can't do this."
She hopes that Old Man Bai is doing well. If Old Man Bai lives a better life, then she will also benefit from it; but if Zhao Guihua's family lives a better life, she will be unhappy, and this family will not help her.
Besides, they are women of similar age and they are also competing with each other.
She doesn't want the banker to prosper.
"We can't let this matter go!"
Old White Man: "Do you think no one mentioned it? Someone mentioned it right there, and got scolded."
In fact, Director Song really scolded him because he really caused too much trouble for others. If it weren't for Zhuang Zhixi, he would have been fired. Director Song only scolded him, and he was reasonable with others.
But he couldn't say that.
He said: "The leader said that it was because of Zhuang Zhixi's good performance in saving the situation that the leader praised him and transferred him there. If he was not transferred, no one else would be transferred. It's not that there is a position and we are competing for it. It's that if Zhuang Zhixi didn't go, others would not have the opportunity to go."
Aunt Su frowned, feeling very uneasy. She complained, "Didn't he step on you to get to the top?"
Old Man Bai: "That's right. If there was no rescue, he might not have had this opportunity."
Aunt Su: "Then his family should show some appreciation."
Aunt Su urged: "We have to find his family and ask them to give up some of the benefits. Why should he step on you to get to the top? You must be compensated."
She was very active in encouraging the old man, but he himself was a little hesitant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "How about, let's just forget it?"
Aunt Su: "How can we just let it go? If you let it go, people will think you are easy to bully, and they will definitely show off even more in the future. Besides, they were wrong in the first place, so is there anything wrong with us asking for something? Not at all."
Old man: “This…”
Aunt Su: "I support you."
The old man thought about it and instantly mustered up his strength. He nodded and said, "You are right. I am a man from Beijing. What am I afraid of? I should have a share in this matter. How can I not ask him for help? He should give me at least half of his salary."
Aunt Su: “That’s right.”
She quickly said, "Go find them now."
Old man: "Okay."
What he said, he didn't move.
Aunt Su: "What's wrong? Don't even think about giving them face. They treat you like this, so they don't care about face."
Although Old Man Bai looked stupid and muddleheaded in front of Aunt Su, he was smarter than his son Bai Fendou. Although Aunt Su's instigation was very strong, she knew that this thing would not work before she even started.
They have been neighbors for decades, and he is not as stupid as Aunt Zhou. He knows in his heart that Zhao Guihua is not to be messed with, as this old woman is very fierce.
Besides, although this matter is indeed very infuriating, he can't find any trouble with the banker. He was scolded by Director Song for half an hour backstage today. Those people in the Propaganda Department will not cover for him. They hate him to death.
Several people who played Xier and Huang Shiren simply stopped talking to him.
He almost caused a big problem for the show. Those people might have spread rumors about him. Otherwise, how come they knew why he didn't perform right after the show ended? These people didn't have good intentions.
If he goes to fight with the dealer, he probably won't make any money.
Not only would he not make any money, he might even lose face. He thought about it and said, "Sister Su, we are just neighbors. Forget it. It won't look good if this gets out of hand."
Aunt Su: "What's wrong with this, Brother Lao Bai? I feel sorry for you. You said you've been practicing in the Propaganda Department. You've been working hard, right? But can you be blamed for your weakness before the performance? I don't think so. If they really blame you, they have no conscience. Now that Zhuang Zhixi has stepped on you to get to the top, why don't they speak up for you?"
Old Bai was unnatural: "They all like Zhuang Zhixi very much. Old Huang is the one who protects Zhuang Zhixi the most. This brat may be flattering him. Director Song, Old Huang, and a few other old guys all smile when they mention him. I am really at a disadvantage if I fight with him. Besides, Zhao Guihua can't let me ask her son for money. That shrew can make trouble even if she is not right. You see her fight with Aunt Zhou some time ago, and she slapped her with her big mouth. As a man, it is really not good for me to get involved with such a female comrade. She is a housewife and has no shame, but I can't do that."
Aunt Su also realized at this time that Old Man Bai didn't dare to challenge the banker. She despised him in her heart. After all, she hadn't been with Old Man Bai for decades. Such a man was useless at the critical moment. How could she look at him? She didn't say she would find a man like a tiger, but she couldn't find a rat, right? She pursed her lips and looked at Old Man Bai's unnatural look. She guessed that he might have a bad job in the Propaganda Department. She knew it was impossible, so she didn't go. This thought made her despise him even more. If you can't do it, you should have said it earlier! This is obviously not possible, but you still pretend to be heroic and high-spirited. Isn't this showing off?
It was such a waste of her time and energy.
She was disgusted in her heart, but on the surface she was able to give the man face, and said: "You are right. Although this matter was not kind of theirs, it is not good for neighbors to make things too awkward. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get along with each other in the future. In fact, I don't care. This matter has nothing to do with me. I just feel sorry for you, feel wronged for you, and feel that you don't deserve it."
The old man was touched: "Big sister, I know you..."
He grabbed Aunt Su's hand. Aunt Su: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "Let go quickly, it will be bad if someone sees it. By the way, where is your Fendou? Why hasn't he come back yet? What's wrong with him? Just because of a few words from Xiu'er, he still can't forgive her? How can a grown man be so petty? Doesn't he understand how sincere Xiu'er is to him? But this widow has a lot of gossip around her, and she said that because she didn't want Fendou to be involved. She didn't expect Fendou to keep pestering her. He's really not a real man."
Old Man Bai didn't like Wang Xiangxiu very much. He said, "Big sister, don't be so naive. Wang Xiangxiu... I think she is just so-so. It's a good thing that she doesn't get close to our family. With the conditions of our family, it's not a problem to find a young lady in her twenties. Although your Wang Xiangxiu can indeed give birth to a son, she is a widow after all."
"What's wrong with being a widow? Do you look down on widows? Do you look down on me?" Aunt Su's eyes suddenly turned red.
The old man said: "No, of course not. It's just that my son is still a young boy, so of course he has to find a virgin girl."
Aunt Su forced a smile and said, "Well, let me talk to Xiu'er."
She retreated to advance, cursing in her heart, "Ah, a virgin? Don't you see that your stupid son is not worthy of you? He is not worthy of you at all!"
You're not even worthy of a widow!
Aunt Su said: "Since this is your family's idea, then I will tell Xiu'er that I will not bother your family's Doudou anymore. I hope your family's Doudou will have a better woman and a better future."
Old Man Bai: "This is what I think. If he finds someone with Jiang Lu's family background, wouldn't she be able to supplement the family income? Am I right?"
Aunt Su: “…”
This is a fucking dog brain.
She forced a smile and said, "Well, that's for sure."
Her stomach growled.
Aunt Su: "Well, brother, I'm going to go back first. It's time for dinner."
Lao Bai hurriedly said: "Eat here, I'll make some white flour and make noodles, and we'll eat together."
Aunt Su: "But the children at home..."
Old Bai still couldn't love his wife and all of her family, so he said, "They already have Wang Xiangxiu at home, so you can just eat at my place. Don't be polite to me."
Children are not invited.
Aunt Su saw that she couldn't take advantage of this, so she just sighed and said, "Okay then."
Aunt Su stayed at Old Man Bai's side for a long time without coming out. Aunt Zhou stayed nearby, sneaking around and cursing, "Adulterer and adulterer."
She said bitterly: "What a shameless couple."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't think about it!"
There were actually quite a few families living in their courtyard, but they were the only ones whose spouses had passed away. Lan Sihai, who moved in later, was also an old bachelor, and she felt that the place was more lively. But it didn't happen, because the old guy found a new spouse at lightning speed.
I have to say, this is quite stimulating.
Sometimes she would stick to the wall to eavesdrop, but could only hear laughter, and she felt so angry. Why could others live a decent life? She was just a person. In the past, there was Aunt Su and Old Man Bai. Everyone was a person, so no one should look down on anyone. She didn't think she had anything special.
But now Old Man Lan suddenly found someone, Old Man Bai stepped up his attack on Aunt Su, and Aunt Su became closer to Old Man Bai. She was the only one left. She had a bad reputation and bad character, so even if she wanted to find someone else, no one would be willing.
Aunt Zhou was really angry.
No matter what, Aunt Su can forget about looking for her, and she has to stay alone with him.
Required.
Aunt Zhou was annoyed, but she didn't know that although Aunt Su was not a good person, she didn't want to get involved with the old man. She could spend his money even if she didn't get married, so why did she get married? She would have to wash his clothes, cook for him, and clean the house for him, and she would have to endure his bad habits and stinky feet, and maybe even take care of the food and clothing of his son who was over 30 and still couldn't find a partner. She didn't want to suffer that.
Aunt Zhou was lying under the window of the Bai family. Zhao Guihua could see everything clearly. On the road of gossip, Zhao Guihua always had a loyal partner, her little daughter-in-law.
Mingmei leaned close to Zhao Guihua and said, "Mom, do you think Aunt Zhou really loves Uncle Bai? Look, she even went over to eavesdrop."
"Eavesdropping is love?"
"That's not the case, but she pays too much attention to it."
Liang Meifen on the side also joined in: "That's right, Uncle Bai said earlier that Aunt Zhou even took off her clothes for him."
Oh my god, it hurts my eyes just thinking about it.
Leung Mei-fun felt that after seeing such a scene, she would probably vomit up her overnight meal.
The old man and the old lady were playing very fancy. The young people in their yard had not yet had a love triangle. But the older ones did. Fortunately, they were old, otherwise they would have been arrested as people who had a promiscuous relationship.
Because I’m old, I saved them.
Zhao Guihua felt that both daughters-in-law did not see the essence of the matter. Based on her understanding of Aunt Zhou, there was no true love. When she was young, she looked for Uncle Bai for money and a good life; now she looked for Uncle Bai purely because she was afraid that others would live better than her.
She said, "There is something wrong with this person."
She didn't say anything more. These young people don't know shit.
She said, "We are going on an outing in the suburbs tomorrow. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Guihua. They had to go.
Mingmei: "I wish I could have seven days off a week and go up the mountain every day."
She still remembers the extra money she had earned.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, there are six of us..."
Tiger Head raised his hands and said pitifully: "Grandma, I am also a human being."
Little Swallow nodded, came closer to her brother, and said, "Little Swallow is also a human being."
She said seriously, "I want to be a human being."
Zhao Guihua was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you be a human being, don't worry."
Xiaoyanzi looked at Zhao Guihua seriously for a while, and finally nodded. She said in a low and cheerful voice: "That's great, I can be a human being now."
She was afraid that she would not be counted. Xiaoyanzi also wanted to go and did not want to be alone at home.
Little Swallow hugged her brother's arm and didn't let go for a moment, because he had to take her with him.
Zhao Guihua: "Then let's do this. We old couple will take the bus with the two children, and you two couples can ride your bikes."
"OK."
No one had any objection to this allocation.
This was a family-wide mobilization. Zhao Guihua said, "We have to bring some lunch. Now that we're out, don't rush back."
"You are right."
Zhao Guihua was actually not very willing to take the children out with her, but Hutou and Xiaoyanzi had been looking forward to going up the mountain for a long time. Although the children didn't know how hard it was to go up the mountain, every time they saw their elders at home gaining something, they still wanted to see the world.
Zhao Guihua: "Let's bring more things this time, maybe we can get a good harvest."
They almost always gain something every time they go, so Zhao Guihua is still quite confident.
"OK."
"Guihua, do you want to go to the movies with me this afternoon?" Aunt Wang came over, pushed the door open, and said, "The whole family is here?"
"Yeah."
"Has Aunt Wang eaten yet?"
Aunt Wang: "I'm done eating." She waved her hand and asked, "What are you doing..."
Zhao Guihua: "Aren't we discussing going on a spring outing tomorrow?"
Aunt Wang smiled and said with emotion: "You are a spirited person."
She asked, "I heard that your third son's job is going to be transferred?"
In a short while, Aunt Zhou's story became known to everyone.
It's really a quick-tempered face.
Zhao Guihua raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "You are well-informed. You already know everything before I even told you."
Aunt Wang: "Well, it was Aunt Zhou who said that. She heard it from Old Whitehead."
She looked at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "Xiao Zhuang, you are usually a smart kid. I didn't expect you to be able to seize the opportunity at a time like this. That's really great. Your aunt will have to rely on you for support in the future."
This was a joke. As a housewife, she didn't need Zhuang Zhixi or anything like that. But she was really curious and came here to find out why this kid was so lucky. She couldn't help but look at Zhuang Zhixi's head, wanting to see if this guy had any luck on his head.
Zhuang Zhixi joked, "Oh, Aunt Wang, you still need my help. My Uncle Li and Brother Yang are the favorites of the leaders. Even if I go to the Propaganda Department, I am just a clerk. I can't see the leaders. The leaders don't even know who I am. But my Uncle Li is different. He is someone who can talk to the leaders. Everyone in our factory knows that Uncle Li cooks the best. All the leaders like him."
Aunt Wang was praised and smiled proudly, saying, "You little idiot..."
Aunt Wang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Li to say a few good words for you in the future."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
He leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face. Aunt Wang said, "Zhao Guihua, do you want to go to the movies? There's a movie showing this afternoon."
She was very excited: "I heard that three movies will be shown in a row. This is a rare good thing."
Zhao Guihua: “Go!”
She was happy to go, but Zhuang Zhixi waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I'll take a rest at home. I'm really tired these days."
It's not that he's tired, in fact, he can handle it, but he can't adapt to this pace. When he was in the infirmary, he was so free, and suddenly he was busy, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"I plan to have a good sleep this afternoon."
"You rest and we'll do ours. You're a piece of shit. Your physique is not even as good as our young people's. You're really a hopeless case." Only a mother could bully her own son like this.
Zhuang Zhixi defended himself: "Isn't this false?"
He spoke with great confidence.
"You don't even know how to make up for me."
Zhao Guihua: "Just shut up."
A grown man has the nerve to say that he is weak. Is he a normal man?
Zhuang Zhixi didn't care at all and said, "I still need to eat meat to replenish my body."
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm giving you a shit, you're actually thinking of doing something good, I think you just want to eat meat."
Several people laughed.
Zhuang Zhixi felt wronged: "Look at you, I was just talking casually."
Zhao Guihua ignored him and said to Aunt Wang, "Call me when you leave."
The little tiger head immediately said, "I'll go too."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay."
There was no fun these days. Although we had just watched the show in the morning, it did not affect everyone's continued watching in the afternoon. In the afternoon, went out again in a mighty procession. Zhuang Zhixi looked at his wife and asked, "Are you not going?"
Mingmei: "I'll accompany you."
She said coquettishly, "Can I leave you alone at home? Besides, when can't we go to the movies?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "My wife is still the best."
People in the yard went out one after another, and the couple lay on the bed together, snuggling together. Mingmei said, "You must be exhausted these days. Come, let me give you a massage."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so good, then I must feel it carefully."
Mingmei laughed softly.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Just do your best. Even if I'm transferred there, I'm new here and I must perform well. I'm sure I'll attract attention this time. I don't know how many people are watching me, so I must not make any mistakes."
He is different from the average person. He was transferred there as a special case. If he had been admitted through normal examinations, he would have received some attention, but not as much. But now it is different. He was transferred there because of his good performance, so naturally he has attracted more attention.
He said, "But you don't have to worry about me. I am the best at flattering people."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Are you really proud of this flattery?"
"Of course."
Zhuang Zhixi held Mingmei's hand and said, "Don't worry about me."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "I'm not worried about you. Don't I know who you are?"
She sighed, "But you're not having it any smoother than me."
Mingmei's work has always been smooth. This is the difference between a large unit and a small unit. In a large unit with 10,000 people, how many people know Zhuang Laonian? But Mingmei's unit is different. There are fewer people, so she, as the successor, has a much smoother work.
"You are smooth sailing, which is better than me being smooth sailing."
Zhuang Zhixi said: "Come, take a break."
The couple chatted about family matters and did not go out. Everyone in Wang Xiangxiu's family also went to the movies. To be precise, most of the people in the yard went, and only two or three kittens were left. To be honest, Wang Xiangxiu also wanted to go, but when she heard that Zhuang Zhixi did not go, she was tempted.
This was the loss of Zhou Qun, a fat sheep. She had a much harder time than others these days. This was even more so in the past few days. Bai Fendou was heartbroken and ignored him.
Her finances suddenly became tight.
That's why she could only place her hopes elsewhere. She had already taken a liking to Zhuang Zhixi before, and even more so now.
She stood at the window, looking out, and said to herself, "I wonder if Mingmei has gone out."
She hesitated for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered that she didn't see Mingmei going out with her. She frowned and muttered, "What a troublesome person. She only knows how to be with men all day long and has no life of her own. Ugh."
Wang Xiangxiu thought about it and went out to fetch water.
She came to the yard, her eyes were glued to the window of Mingmei's room for a long time. She looked around and saw that the doors of other houses were locked. She turned around quietly and came to the window of Mingmei's house.
She held her breath and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
Wang Xiangxiu just squatted down, and suddenly felt the window opened. Wang Xiangxiu was startled, and before she could react, she felt a basin of cold water poured directly on her. Fortunately, the weather is warm now. If it is a little bit cold, then this basin of water will make people feel uneasy.
But even so, Wang Xiangxiu was shocked.
She pursed her lips and was about to look up when she saw the window closed again.
Wang Xiangxiu: “!!!”
At this moment, she was not sure whether Mingmei discovered that she was pouring the water on purpose, or whether she accidentally caught her pouring the water.
It was quite normal for them to open the windows and pour water directly into the yard.
No one does this in winter because it is easy to fall if it is icy, but it doesn't matter when the weather is warm.
She cursed in her heart, tiptoed back quickly, not knowing what the water was. She looked at the window of Mingmei's house with hatred. It seemed like an accident. He changed his clothes while cursing, while Mingmei stuck to the window and laughed softly.
Zhuang Zhixi gave his wife a thumbs up and said, "Great."
Mingmei acted arrogant and said, "Who asked her to come here to eavesdrop?"
Wang Xiangxiu thought she was unnoticed, but she didn't know that she was discovered as soon as she came over. It was noon, the sun was at its highest, and Wang Xiangxiu came over. There was a shadow on the window, but he didn't know it.
"Is this guy crazy? He's crazy. Why would he come over here and eavesdrop for no reason?"
Mingmei really can't understand Wang Xiangxiu.
Zhuang Zhixi said half-truthfully, "She's attracted to me, right?"
Mingmei looked at Zhuang Zhixi and then raised her eyebrows.
Mingmei: "Are you serious?"
She pinched Zhuang Zhixi's face. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Lady, spare me. I was just kidding."
What he said was true, but Mingmei didn't believe it.
Although Zhuang Zhixi loved to joke, she couldn't believe it. She climbed onto the bed, pinched Zhuang Zhixi's face and said, "Comrade Zhuang Zhixi, I'm telling you, don't tell me these nonsense. She must have seduced you. I don't believe what you said about joking."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Does everyone here know this?"
Mingmei: “That’s inevitable.”
You can tell something from Wang Xiangxiu's usual behavior.
Zhuang Zhixi said: "She didn't express it explicitly, but it was somewhat like that. However, since she didn't actually do anything, I can't say that about her."
This is true, but they all know what kind of person this is.
Mingmei pinched Zhuang Zhixi's face and firmly said, "I don't care. Anyway, I'm telling you, you must listen to me clearly and stop messing around with him in the future. If you dare to come back from outside, I will kill you."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Oh, you are quite fierce."
Mingmei: "Do you think I'm kidding? Let me tell you, if you dare to be like Zhou Qun or Bai Fendou, I will let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes."
She said seriously: "I am not someone who can be bullied easily."
Mingmei pinched Zhuang Zhixi, and Zhuang Zhixi fell directly on Mingmei as if he was being scammed, and said, "If I'm not good enough, you can let my father-in-law kill me."
Mingmei sneered and said, "Do I need my dad? I can deal with you like it's a game. Besides, I..." She paused and said, "I'm not someone you can mess with."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows, thinking that Mingmei didn't mean to say this, but since she took a detour, he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Wife, just watch my performance."
Mingmei snorted.
She said: "I am not just talking ruthlessly, I really dare to do ruthless things."
Zhuang Zhixi: “I know.”
Mingmei was not very happy about this little episode, but she still believed in Zhuang Zhixi a little, because she would dream about anything that had a significant impact on her. Since she didn't dream about it now, it meant that Zhuang Zhixi should be fine.
From childhood to adulthood, this omen has never been wrong.
She said, "Okay, I'll trust you for now."
Zhuang Zhixi chuckled softly: "I'm not stupid, so I went to her. Please, Comrade Mingmei, if you think about it carefully, you will know that I don't think she is good at all. I'm not crazy. I have good taste."
He was not naturally very enthusiastic about these things, and he got involved with Mingmei quickly because he fell in love at first sight. If he was really a guy who was very keen on women, he would have been in love a long time ago. After all, people were relatively innocent when they were in school, and he had many female classmates.
He is not bad looking.
However, although Zhuang Zhixi is eloquent and a friend of women, he usually doesn't say jokes to young girls and he still has his limits.
There is no need for Zhuang Zhixi to say these words to flatter himself.
It all depends on how he lives his life.
She said, "Come, lie down for a while."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She said, "I wonder what delicious food my mother-in-law will make tomorrow."
She changed the subject again. Zhuang Zhixi said, "It should be good, right? It would be great if we can catch some prey tomorrow. We can even have a barbecue together."
Mingmei: "I think I can. Take hunting for example. I think I'm pretty good at it."
Although Mingmei had not hunted much, only once or twice. But she was sure she could do it, and she had proved her ability last time. In fact, she was quick to react and move, which made it easier for her to catch prey than ordinary people. Although she might not be as good as an experienced hunter, she was not bad at all.
And Mingmei is sure that as long as she practices more, she will definitely get better. After all, practice makes perfect. That's for sure.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled meaningfully: "If you can be more powerful, my sister-in-law will be as angry as if she saw a tiger when she sees you in the future."
Mingmei: "If she is afraid of me, I think it's good too. It saves a lot of trouble. I don't want my family to be whining all the time. It's a good thing that she is honest. I am like this. If others don't provoke me, I won't provoke others. I am a gentle girl."
Zhuang Zhixi curled his lips and said, "You are really good at bragging."
Mingmei's little fist immediately greeted him. He was really a jerk if he wasn't beaten for three days.
Zhuang Zhixi cried out, begged for mercy with a smile, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. Whatever you do is right. But go deal with my sister-in-law, don't hit me, it hurts, I'm your man."
Mingmei glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to deal with her."
She remembered that in her dream, her mother-in-law said this, her sister-in-law was just like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If only she was a little more fierce, it would be fine.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Shock her, okay?"
Mingmei laughed.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What if someone hears this and takes it seriously?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Tomorrow my wife will show her magical powers. I wonder what small animals will fall into her trap. The little white rabbit is so white, tender and cute."
She swallowed and said, "I don't think rabbits are as delicious as chickens. I hope there will be pheasants tomorrow. I want to eat roast chicken."
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's a must."
Mingmei: “Puff!”
They were a happy couple, while Wang Xiangxiu was changing her clothes while cursing: "This wicked bastard, we will get divorced sooner or later!"
She cursed fiercely! No matter how Wang Xiangxiu cursed, the young couple had a good relationship. Who would care about her thoughts?
The next morning.
Zhao Guihua got up early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light. He got up to make pancakes, then cut some bacon into cubes and some pickled cucumbers, cut them into shreds and put them in the pancakes.
Zhao Guihua looked at the oil in the pot with distress, and sighed that life was really hard now. His family was considered to have good food, so it was really a loss.
The aroma of pancakes and fried meat came, and Zhuang Zhixi woke up greedily, came out with clothes on, and said, "Mom, what delicious food are you making?"
Zhao Guihua: "What else could it be? Didn't I say I would make you roujiamo a long time ago? I never had the chance, but today I got up early, so I made some food for you, one for each of you. Try it."
"Oh, that's great." Zhuang Zhixi said excitedly.
"Of course, I made Roujiamo. Haven't you seen how much oil and meat I put in it? With so many good things, how can it not taste good?" Zhao Guihua: "It's a waste of good things to eat this meal. If I wasn't afraid that you guys would be too tired today, I wouldn't make such a good meal."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I know how you feel about us. You are our best mother."
Zhao Guihua: "Haha. You just have a big mouth."
"It's a good thing to be able to speak well."
But Zhuang Zhixi was not the only one who smelled the odor and came out. Soon, the two little Hutou kids also came running over in their slippers, looking extremely anxious.
"Milk, it's delicious. Is it delicious? It tastes like meat."
"Little Swallow wants to eat."
Zhao Guihua: "Yes, it's meat. Go wash up and then eat."
The child said in a baby voice: "Okay~"
Liang Meifen also came out to help. Since the separation, she has been eating especially well. She is in a better mood than before.
In fact, Roujiamo was not a rare food for them. This kind of food had existed for a long time, but they did not live well off and they had not eaten it much.
"It would be great if every day could be like this."
The family sat down and started to have a sumptuous breakfast. But the others in the yard started to curse, saying that it was rare to have such a good breakfast in these days.
The fragrance wafted through the yard, sparking a flurry of discussion among the people.
Everyone complained a lot. Isn't this torture?
"Whose house is this? It's too early in the morning. There's such a strong smell of oil."
"What kind of family is this? They eat like this."
"Someone is eating meat in the morning? Is this someone eating meat?"
"Whose house is this?"
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat with oil residue..." The child cried and cried. This early in the morning, the yard was particularly lively.
Complaints, cries, and the sounds of children being beaten came one after another.
This sound is familiar and strange, as if it happens every day, but it doesn't seem so noisy. But no matter what, another busy day has begun...
