This is only for you, no one else has it.
It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but everyone said it sincerely.
Mingmei's mouth twitched, and she had a deep suspicion about this, but she nodded silently. Whether this thing is true or not, it is always good to give it. Anyway, her main task is to lead the way, to take this cousin who looks very sincere but speaks very unreliable to the compound and to her grandfather's house! Fortunately, her grandfather did not go out to eat and watch a movie today, otherwise he would have been disappointed again.
But it seems that her grandfather doesn't welcome this eldest grandson that much. The old man Lan and his wife were making dinner when they heard a knock on the door. Old man Lan was very surprised: "Who is it?"
Even though they live here, they are old and came later, so they don't interact with everyone very much. He got up and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mingmei's smiling face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a lively young man popping out from the side with a bright smile: "Ding Dong, Grandpa, did you miss me?"
Old Man Lan was not surprised at all. He curled his lips and said, "I guess you will be here in the next two days."
He made way for me and said, "Come in."
Mingmei said crisply: "Grandpa, did you know that my cousin was coming?"
Old Man Lan: "Your uncle has contacted me."
Lan Xiang complained: "Look at my dad, he really makes people unhappy when he does things. I said I wanted to give grandpa a surprise."
Old Man Lan glanced at him and said, "Because your father knows, your coming to my place is not a surprise. Let me introduce you, this is your Grandma Luo."
Luo Xiaohe is not young anymore, and most families would call her grandma. However, she is not married, her sister's children are not yet grown up, her brother just got married and doesn't even have children, and they don't have many relatives here, so her generation is not that high.
Luo Xiaohe felt awkward being called grandma by a grown man all of a sudden, but she still said, "Please sit down."
Lan Xiang: "I brought some cooked food, cousin, please stay and eat with me. Look, I bought enough."
Zhuang Zhixi thought that the personalities of the Lan family were really similar. Mingmei's mother was like this, and now Lan Xiang was like this. Even the things they bought were similar. If you were to say, they were really a family. Lan Sihai: "That's pretty similar."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Then I'll go home and tell my parents."
They are all in the same yard, so he can go home just by going out.
Zhao Guihua didn't care where he ate. It was better if he didn't eat at home, and she could save money.
But she also said, "Bring a fish over to add to the dish."
Because of the secret base, his family is not short of fish. It is a good idea to bring a fish as a gift when going out. Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
She wrinkled her nose: "What's that smell?"
How flirty.
He looked back and saw Jiang Lu sitting at the door with a basin of water, washing something that looked suspicious. Well, needless to say, those who understand will understand, men, how can they not understand this. Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched slightly, he really didn't understand, it was just a matter of Zhou Qun for a few seconds, was it necessary to replenish it like this? Speaking of this, the Zhou family is really a big family of kidney-tonifying and Yang-strengthening medicine. Anyway, anything related to this, they will eat it immediately.
This and that! It's really speechless. Are you really not afraid of making up for it?
Zhuang Zhixi covered his nose and silently replied to the Lan family. Old man Lan looked like he had lost all hope in life. As a neighbor living next door, his family felt the same way. Old man Lan really felt that this family was really not doing well.
Aren't you afraid that your body won't be able to be replenished?
He was speechless.
At this time, Lan Xiang took out a small red velvet bag, and Zhuang Zhixi blinked: "..."
Mingmei also blinked.
Here it comes, their ancestral operation is here again.
Lan Xiang: "When I came here, my father, your uncle, this old comrade asked me to bring it to you. He said it was for your child. Look, it's a longevity lock, and it's made of silver."
He showed it to Mingmei and said, "Isn't it cute?"
Mingmei opened the bag and looked at the small longevity lock. The longevity lock was not big, but not small either. It was about the size of a large apricot. The carvings on it were very delicate. One could imagine how cute a chubby baby would be with the longevity lock.
Old Man Lan: "Let me see."
He nodded slightly and said, "Well, your father's cooking skills have improved a little."
Mingmei was surprised: "Oh, uncle made this himself?"
"Of course."
Mingmei gave a thumbs up this time and said, "You have really skillful hands."
Lan Sihai immediately snorted and said, "His skills are just average, far worse than mine."
Mingmei immediately understood what grandpa meant and quickly said, "That's right, grandpa is my uncle's father, so he is naturally more powerful than my uncle."
She held the longevity lock, smiled softly, and said, "Cousin, you have to thank my uncle for me."
Lan Xiang: "No problem, leave it to me. Don't tell me, this is only for you."
Mingmei: “Oh.”
She nodded happily. She was indeed the most popular one in the family.
But it's not surprising. She is the youngest child in the family. Her cousins are older than her. Among the relatives on her mother's side, Mingmei is the youngest. Her relatives on her father's side... There are not many relatives on her father's side. There are not many direct relatives, but there are some distant relatives. For example, her cousin is her master, but he has no children.
In fact, her father's generation had quite a few brothers and sisters, but it was strange that the younger generations were not very prosperous, with few people and not much contact. Mingmei felt that there was a reason why she was favored.
She stroked the longevity lock happily, and Lan Xiang chattered: "My father made this well. He asked me to give it to you. I thought he was just thinking too much, but I didn't expect you to be pregnant."
At this time, Mr. Lan snorted again and said, "Do you have a pig brain?"
Lan Xiang: “???”
Mingmei was also puzzled.
Zhuang Zhixi guessed it right away: "Grandpa told uncle that you are pregnant."
Everyone suddenly understood, even Lan Xiang was surprised: "So that's how it is."
Mingmei: "But...if I write a letter, I need to calculate the time..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted: "Who said I wrote a letter? Can't I make a phone call?"
"Ah, this..." Mingmei looked at her grandfather, trying to see if he was joking, but he wasn't. Mingmei fell into a deep silence, and then she sincerely sighed: "I am really important."
You know, it's not easy to make a phone call now. Not everyone can use the factory phone. I guess only a technical expert like my grandfather can use it. No one else can. It's not easy to get through to my uncle.
Mingmei rubbed her face and said, "I feel embarrassed when you guys do this."
Old Man Lan: "...Life really needs a little bit of romance, and receiving gifts is also a kind of romance."
Mingmei: “…Oh.”
However, it is always a pleasure to receive gifts. Mingmei is very happy. This time she is pregnant, she has gained a lot. She feels like she has become a "big spender" all of a sudden. She chuckles. Zhuang Zhixi: "Aunt Luo, let me help you."
Luo Xiaohe: "No, no, just do your job."
Lan Xiang: "What's that smell?"
He turned around and looked at Luo Xiaohe. Uh, fried eggs with chives, isn't that the smell from here? Zhuang Zhixi: "The smell from next door, I just saw them preparing it. His family has to nourish their kidneys 300 days out of 365 days a year."
"Ah~ Then the kidney must be in such bad condition that it needs to be supplemented in this way."
"Who knows?"
"Oh my god, this smell is really strong."
To be honest, this kind of thing doesn't really have such a strong smell, but the Zhou family seems to have no idea how to make it, and they just do it carelessly every time. This thing already has a bit of smell, and this careless process makes the smell even stronger.
It really makes people feel hurt.
If you don't know how, you can ask a professional. Chef Li and Yang Lixin are both chefs, they are very good at cooking, but the Zhou family doesn't want to ask. They are so confident that everyone smells a strange smell every now and then.
Very annoyed.
"No wonder it's called Sijiu City. This is different. They really pay attention to nourishment. It's not like that over there."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other and said, "We are not like that either..."
The Zhou family is an exception.
It's just an example.
"Bai Fendou, Bai Fendou, come out!" A woman's scream was heard. Zhuang Zhixi was startled and quickly ran to the door. He looked out the window and said, "It's the Yu family in the alley."
Aunt Yu and her husband from the Yu family came with their four sons, and several daughters-in-law also came with them.
The whole family came in a mighty and aggressive manner, "Bai Fendou, you get out here, you are such a heartless person, you actually used a dirty trick on my son, and you even used the method of cutting off my descendants. Don't think that the matter is over just because the factory has adjusted it, get out here, get out here."
After Aunt Yu started yelling, everyone rushed out immediately.
After all, when eating melons, you always have to be the first to rush in, otherwise where is the fun? Everyone rushed out, Mingmei and the others also left the house, and saw that these people were all holding wooden sticks, and it was clear that they wanted to fight.
But Bai Fendou was not afraid. He stepped out with his legs tucked together and shouted, "What's the matter? Do you still want to bully others by taking advantage of your power?"
He really wasn't afraid, and shouted: "I'm telling you, don't think I'm afraid of you just because there are so many of you. I'm Bai Fendou, after all, I'm a man. If I say I'm afraid, this is me!"
He gestured with his little finger.
"You are still so stubborn? You bullied my youngest son! You are right, right?" Aunt Yu was furious, but the important thing was to extort compensation. The medical expenses were subsidized by someone, but compensation was required.
She yelled, "Pay me money!"
Everyone exclaimed, and now they understood why Aunt Yu brought people here.
It turns out he wants money.
"It was your son who started it. Look at my head. Look at my forehead. I haven't even asked for money yet. How dare your family ask for money? Can you please have some shame?"
Bai Fendou moved forward again and said, "Although I am alone, I am not afraid of you!"
Lan Xiang wondered: "Why does he walk like this?"
Well, there's something weird about it.
Zhuang Zhixi whispered something in his ear. Lan Xiang: “Fuck!”
He really broadened his horizons.
Although Bai Fendou was shouting, Aunt Yu was not a pushover. "How can your head compare to my son's balls? My son's balls are related to the birth of children. If you don't pay, don't blame me for smashing your window... Uh! Where's your glass? Uh, regardless of this, if you dare not pay, my family will smash your door... Uh, why is your door like this?"
There is a big hole on the wall, but that was also made by Aunt Zhou. I beg your mercy, Aunt Zhou only made a small hole, too small. But the three bastards wanted to get in and steal things. They were afraid of scratching the glass by climbing on it, so they had to drill a hole. Such a small hole was not enough, so they enlarged it a little. The result was like this...
Aunt Yu threatened twice but it was useless. She simply said: "If you don't pay me, I will break your balls too..."
"Aunt Yu, have you forgotten? It was already broken..." Zhuang Zhixi kindly reminded.
Bai Fendou turned around and glared at Zhuang Zhixi. Why are you everywhere?
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged innocently. It was already broken, so why didn't anyone say anything about it? This was actually quite normal.
He smiled, thinking that he was just being kind.
Aunt Yu was panting in anger. This kid couldn't threaten Bai Fendou anymore. She pointed at Bai Fendou and yelled, "You are such a hated bastard. You don't have anything decent in your house. Look at what you are."
Bai Fendou: "You are a piece of shit. Your whole family is a piece of shit."
"Who the hell are you scolding?" Yu Baoshan's elder brother rushed forward. Bai Fendou said, "Why would I hit you?"
The two people started fighting right away.
Zhuang Zhixi immediately helped his wife retreat tactically and said, "Let's stay away."
Mingmei sighed: "Oh, it's better that Bai Fendou is back. If he doesn't come back, there will be no big events in our yard. We can only watch the excitement in other yards. But when Bai Fendou comes back, our yard will be much more lively."
Even though he was struggling, he was really good at stirring up trouble.
Bai Fendou could only take small steps, so he was no match for the Yu brothers in this fight. There were several of them, and they surrounded him in an instant. Bai Fendou shouted, "Come and help me!"
They called out, but no one came forward.
Who cares who you are? Do you know me well?
It is impossible to help. If you get beaten, who will be responsible? You, Bai Fendou, are not a very particular person. Everyone stood there watching the excitement, and they did not move. Zhou Qun said, "Bai Fendou, if you have the ability, you can fight four people alone."
He said mockingly.
Bai Fendou yelled, "Do you think I can't?"
Several people kicked him, but he protected his vital parts. Other parts didn't matter, but this part must not be injured. He was quite determined, holding it tightly, thinking that these people were really heartless, kicking him to death...
"That's enough, stop pushing me!"
Bai Fendou roared, and Aunt Yu said triumphantly, "Don't push you. Why didn't you show mercy when you bullied my little kid? I see you..."
Before she finished her arrogant speech, she heard her fourth son scream: "Ah..."
Covering a certain place, he squatted down.
The third brother followed closely: "Ah..."
Then comes the second oldest, the oldest...
The four old men who had been fighting so vigorously just now were now covering themselves and squatting on the ground: “Ahhhh!”
Dragon claw! Bai Fendou's expression was filled with the joy of winning a fight, and he shouted, "I'll let you guys do it! Do you know how powerful I am?"
"Fuck!"
"He really can't stand seeing others do well." "Oh my god, this old man is a killer!"
"Keep your voice down, you just want to see if I'm pinching you, right?"
It happened so fast that everyone was stunned, but soon everyone started exclaiming, this thing, this operation, is really too cool. How can Bai Fendou always do such things?
This is really incomprehensible.
Bai Fendou smiled proudly and said, "You still want to fight me?"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up like a king.
He pointed at Aunt Yu and shouted, "Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll go to your house and settle the score with you!"
His voice was loud and a bit arrogant, and Aunt Yu immediately took a few steps back. This old woman is like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She relied on having many sons and was very domineering. But if she really met a tough guy and her sons were useless, she would immediately become honest.
Bai Fendou: "Who else! I'm asking, who else! Damn it, do you think I, Bai Fendou, am someone who can be bullied?"
He sneered and said, "Impossible!"
This guy is so arrogant that everyone shook their heads, but if they want to provoke him, they really don't dare. After all, if this guy can't beat him, he will resort to the lower three ways. Most people can't stand this thing! Everyone can't be as mean as him.
I can only endure it.
Bai Fendou looked around and smiled, as if he was the most handsome guy on this street. Even Lan Xiang, who had just arrived as a visitor, took a step back, thinking that he might not be able to afford to offend him. After all, this kind of person just looked wrong!
If there was one person in the yard who didn't look at Bai Fendou with fear and vigilance, it would be Zhou Qun.
Zhou Qun originally came out to laugh at Bai Fendou, after all, his relationship with Bai Fendou was quite bad. He just said something sarcastic. Normally, Zhou Qun didn't take Bai Fendou seriously, but in the past six months, Bai Fendou had frequently challenged his authority and had several fights with his family. Zhou Qun immediately promoted Bai Fendou to his number one enemy.
To be honest, it didn’t happen before.
That was Bai Fendou's unilateral jealousy towards Zhou Qun.
If Zhou Qun were to speak for himself about the past six months, he felt that there was actually no conflict between the two families. It was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family who were meddling in the relationship, which made their relationship worse.
But if you think about it carefully, are there any contradictions between them? Really not.
They almost became brothers. If his mom had really been in a relationship with the old white guy, then wouldn't they be brothers?
Zhou Qun felt that Bai Fendou was not that bad. In a situation of four against one, Bai Fendou was still injured. He was able to turn defeat into victory, which showed that he had some masculinity.
If it were an ordinary person, like Zhuang Zhixi, who is rude and unaware of it, he would have begged for mercy long ago. Otherwise, he would have hidden behind his wife, but Bai Fendou didn't. He didn't back down at all and stood firm. Quite a man.
A seriously injured patient won a great victory against four old men, which fully shows his strength.
He pursed his lips and looked at Bai Fendou with some admiration in his eyes. What a man! Zhou Qun said, "Bai Fendou, you should go home and take care of your wound."
Bai Fendou looked at Zhou Qun in surprise, and so did everyone else. Zhuang Zhixi even opened his mouth in an exaggerated way. Yes, it was really embarrassing. But don't blame Zhuang Zhixi for his big reaction.
Mainly, that feeling of his hair standing on end came back again.
Why is Zhou Qun still talking in such a nagging way? Bai Fendou stared at Zhou Qun cautiously and said, "Zhou Qun, don't you have any good intentions!"
Zhou Qun paused, then said, "Don't be so ungrateful. We are all neighbors, and I can't just stand by and watch people outside bully you."
Aunt Yu: "What are you talking about? Do you think you are still a good person?"
"Who the hell are you scolding? Everyone knows how good my son is. You think all of them will be like your son. It's useless to have more children."
“You you you you…”
The two old ladies started to curse, and Zhou Qun spoke again at this time: "Alright! What are you doing! Aunt Yu, I advise you to take your sons away quickly. Don't think that in our yard is a coward. As neighbors, we absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to your everyone bullying of Bai Fendou. It's fine if you make trouble in the, but you also want to come to your house to extort money? If you continue like this, we will call the police!"
“You, you, you…”
Zhou Qun: "This is clearly your family's problem, but you still want to bully Bai Doudou, a wounded person. In my opinion, this is too much!"
Bai Fendou: "That's right. Don't think you can blackmail me! See, the people have sharp eyes."
Aunt Yu was so angry that she thought Zhou Qun was mentally ill. She had a conflict with Bai Fendou, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Qun. She sneered, "What a coward! People bullied your wife, and you still stood up for them. You have no spine! Bah!"
"I told you to stop talking nonsense!"
Aunt Zhou rushed forward and scratched Aunt Yu's face. The two aunts rolled into a ball, hitting each other, enjoying the fight. Aunt Zhou couldn't let it go after scolding her son like this.
When the Yu family's daughters-in-law saw their mothers-in-law fighting, they all supported their husbands and did not go to help. Such an evil mother-in-law should be beaten to death. Besides, Lao Wu did not regard them as family members. They also wanted to stand up for Lao Wu. It was obvious that even if they had to pay compensation, the money would not be theirs. That was why the daughters-in-law were united in not taking action. Their husbands had already been beaten, so they could not rush up and cause trouble for themselves.
They won't suffer this loss.
The two old ladies rolled on the ground. Zhou Qun didn't even bother to look at his mother. Instead, he said, "You should go to the infirmary."
This was said to Bai Fendou, who looked at Zhou Qun warily: "Why are you so strange today?"
Zhou Qun: “I have always been like this.”
He said seriously: "You all misunderstood me before."
Bai Fendou felt something was wrong, but Zhou Qun didn't say anything unpleasant, so he couldn't act too cold. Besides, Zhou Qun had to intercede for him before he could come back. Bai Fendou hesitated and said, "You..."
He was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Well, I'll go back first."
"Let me help you."
"Don't come over here. Do you want to do something to me? Do you want to take this opportunity to take revenge? Zhou Qun, you are even capable of plotting and scheming now!" Bai Fendou still didn't believe that Zhou Qun had any true feelings for him. Just thinking about it, he knew that this was completely impossible.
Zhou Qun sighed and said, "You really underestimated me."
He took a step forward, grabbed Bai Fendou's arm, and said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Bai Fendou: “???”
Although he was very puzzled, he did not struggle to break free from Zhou Qun and let Zhou Qun help him into the house.
Mingmei's head was scratched like a chicken coop, she really didn't understand what was happening. She was no longer curious about the fight between Aunt Yu and Aunt Zhou. She was curious about why Zhou Qun was so good at fighting Bai Fendou.
This...the sun doesn't rise from the west today.
That's strange.
"Brother Zhixi, do you think Zhou Qun is possessed by a ghost?" Mingmei asked in a low voice.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I...I don't know."
He really didn't understand it at all. He said, "Actually, Zhou Qun still feels a little weird."
But he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
They felt puzzled, and so did others; they just couldn't understand it!
At this time, Zhou Qun came out and called, "Jiang Lu, you made donkey whip soup tonight, bring a bowl to Bai Fendou."
Jiang Lu: “What?”
Everyone fell into deathly silence.
Ah, what is that thing you drink at home?
We are all ordinary people, how come you have such "high-end" health-preserving ingredients at home?
Besides, isn't that a tonic? Is it appropriate for your family to take it every other day?
Not to mention, Zhou Qun actually gave Bai Fendou a bowl? Why? Did he want to poison Bai Fendou? Well, it seems impossible.
In short, everyone was in deep confusion, which was really incomprehensible.
It's not that they don't have any experience, but these things are really hard to understand. There are so many things going on in their yard. One after another, it's really hard to understand them even if it's too late.
"So what's going on here?"
"How should I know? How did they become friends?"
They don't understand, and Jiang Lu doesn't understand either.
She bit her lip and looked at Zhou Qun, but she was a good daughter-in-law, so since Zhou Qun said so, she nodded: "I understand."
Her mother-in-law was fighting outside, but she could still cook calmly. It must be said that she was a "good daughter-in-law". Jiang Lu didn't understand it at all, but after thinking about it, she felt that this must be a trap set by Zhou Qun. Although she didn't know what the trap was, as a daughter-in-law, she just had to cooperate.
In short, just listen to Zhou Qun, you will never go wrong.
She pursed her lips and smiled gently, but then she felt a little upset. Although Yi Xin had a child, she still felt very uncomfortable. If Aunt Su was brought to someone else, then Zhou Qun would have another woman.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip sadly, but she knew that this time she had to do it.
If she doesn't do this, then when can she have a child? The yard is very lively, with people fighting here, watching the excitement there, and the Wudang Sect.
Each of them was busy in their own way. At this time, a woman in a gray patched coat came in. She had short hair and followed a girl with a long braid. The girl was very skinny, like a skeleton. Her face was so thin that only her big eyes were left. Her long braid was even more yellow. Her clothes were patched up, and she wore a pair of straw sandals with her feet exposed.
The two were stunned when they entered the yard: "This..."
Who would have thought that I would see him beaten like this as soon as I walked in?
The two people's entry did not affect the fight between the two old ladies at all. Anyway, they were both thick-skinned, so they had to fight to the end. Aunt Yu beat and scolded her daughter-in-law, and she didn't come to help. Instead, several daughters-in-law were crying and holding their husbands without moving.
The short-haired middle-aged woman who entered the room was stunned for a moment before calling out as usual: "Mom."
Aunt Su: "Zhaodi, you're back?"
Su Zhaodi said, "I met this girl on the road. She said she was a relative of Aunt Zhou's and couldn't find her. So she was brought here. Aunt Zhou, come and take a look. Is she your relative?"
Aunt Zhou was still fighting, but she reacted at once. She kicked Aunt Yu away and got up quickly. She looked at the skinny girl. Why is she so skinny?
She looked the girl up and down. She looked okay, but she was too thin and didn't look like she would be able to have children. To be honest, she was a little dissatisfied with her appearance. But she also knew that it was a new society and it would not be easy to find someone to give birth to a child. It was good enough that she could find someone.
At the very least, he has a good-looking face, and his grandson will also be good-looking in the future.
She pursed her lips and said, "What's your name?"
The girl with the braids was a little nervous. To others, she looked like a stranger, but she knew what she was doing. Although she was unwilling, she had no say in what her parents had agreed to.
She whispered: "My name is Zhaodi."
Uh... another Zhaodi.
This is the same name as Aunt Su's eldest daughter Zhaodi, but this is not surprising, these days, there are many people with the same name. For example, the thief they caught at the beginning of the year was named Zhang San, and there is also a Zhang San in their security department.
There are many good names like "Defending the Country", "Serving the People", and "National Day".
There are many simple people like Zhang San and Li Si.
As for the girl, Zhaodi hopes that a brother will come, so that goes without saying.
There are also those who hope to have children and can also be called.
Wang Zhaodi looked at the aunt in front of her cautiously, and saw the mother slap her thigh and said, "Oh, isn't this the distant cousin of the second daughter-in-law of my seventh uncle's third aunt's family? Why are you here? Come on, follow aunt into the house."
Aunt Yu: "I'm a plant, you cross it..."
She put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You want to leave after beating someone up?"
Aunt Zhou: "Don't even think about bullying me, get out of here!"
Zhou Qun came out again at this time and said, "Aunt Yu, if you don't leave, I'm going to find the police and see if I can hold you accountable for provoking trouble."
"you!"
"Mom. Why don't we go? I'm feeling sick."
"Yeah, I hope I didn't break it. Really, don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future."
"We are all doing this for you."
"Okay, you rebelled, and you dared to yell at me? Did your wife teach you that?" Aunt Yu cursed, but seeing that her son did not support her, she could only hold back her anger and said harsh words before leaving.
This farce ended just like that.
We watched this show with our meal money, and it was really delicious.
But some people were puzzled that relatives would come to Aunt Zhou's house. Aunt Zhou was not angry at all. Isn't it strange? Aunt Zhou is rich, but she is also stingy. I can't believe she is willing to entertain relatives.
Moreover, how could this person be brought here by Su Zhaodi? Anyway, it was strange no matter how he thought about it. Zhuang Zhixi narrowed his eyes slightly and said to his wife, "There is something fishy about this."
Mingmei also agreed. Lan Sihai was a man with a wide range of knowledge. He had seen a lot, so what did he not understand? This old man was very smart. Especially someone as knowledgeable as him. He said, "When I was young, I worked as a master chef in a gold shop in Shanghai. You know me, right?"
All the younger generations knew about this, and Luo Xiaohe knew it too.
She served the dishes, which were a little cold, but now that the weather was warm, it was fine, and they were still delicious. A few people sat down, and they heard Lan Sihai continue to say: "My boss has seven or eight wives, big and small. He has more than ten children, but although there are more than ten children, he only has one legitimate son, who will inherit the family business and is very precious. The girl he married is also a famous lady in Shanghai."
Luo Xiaohe wondered why they were talking about this. Weren’t they just talking about Aunt Zhou?
But looking at the others, they seemed to be listening with great interest, so she didn't say anything.
Lan Sihai: "This famous Shanghai rich girl is much richer than my boss who runs a gold shop. This family also treasures their daughter very much. Why did this rich girl marry down? Because she can't have children. They can find someone with better conditions than their family, so they can control it. But the rich girl can't have children, and this family can't be without children. So my boss brought back a girl from outside to be responsible for giving birth..."
He paused here and said, "Eat some food."
Mingmei: "And then? Is this the end of the story?"
Lan Sihai was helpless: "How come you don't have any brains, girl? You are really simple-minded but strong-limbed."
Mingmei was not convinced: "Grandpa, why do you say that to me? I'm really sad."
She said coquettishly: "I just want to hear...ah, you mean, you mean the one from Aunt Zhou's house..."
She couldn't believe it: "But this is a new society!"
Lan Sihai: "But some people are not good people at heart. No matter what social environment you are in, there are good people and bad people."
Mingmei: "What the hell is going on?"
Luo Xiaohe on the side also couldn't understand it. She thought about her own experience to some extent and felt a little unhappy.
Lan Sihai: "Look, I'm telling you the truth, you're all so unhappy. This is not how people should behave. People who are unhappy are prone to getting sick, and if they get sick they die early. Is there anything more important than yourself? Nothing, so why should you be unhappy because of these people? If I knew you were like this, I wouldn't say anything next time."
"Don't worry."
Mingmei hurriedly said, "I'm not angry. Isn't it okay if I'm not angry?"
Luo Xiaohe then spoke up: "I just thought about the difficulties women face and sighed a little, but it's actually not that bad."
Lan Sihai: "Many things are your own choices. You can't control others. Besides, why should you control others? These days, the most important thing to do is to take care of yourself."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his glass: "I agree with what Grandpa said."
Lan Sihai: "You really are not good at flattering others."
Zhuang Zhixi blinked and said, "Yes, it is said that grandpa knows me best. I am a sincere person. I always speak the truth and never flatter others."
Lan Xiang almost burst out laughing after hearing this. He said, "Oh, brother-in-law, you are very suitable to get along with grandpa."
Zhuang Zhixi: Smile.
He said, "I am also suitable to get along with you."
Lan Xiang laughed and sighed, "That's true, but I can get along well with everyone, so it's me who's easy to get along with, not you."
Mingmei: "Stop talking about those nonsense things. Talking too much while eating will cause indigestion."
Luo Xiaohe: "Eat slowly. You will feel uncomfortable if you eat too fast."
"Okay!" Mingmei confidently instructed Zhuang Zhixi: "Help me bite off the fat on this piece of meat. It's a bit greasy."
Ever since Mingmei became pregnant, some greasy foods would make her feel sick.
Luo Xiaohe looked at Mingmei with a bit of a younger mentality. Well, she was indeed a younger generation, and Mingmei should call her grandma. But Mingmei always called her Aunt Luo. After all, it was really strange to call her grandma.
Besides, Luo Xiaohe is not that old.
In fact, Luo Xiaohe had never met a girl like Mingmei. She was very different from her sister. When her father passed away, her sister was still a child. Life at home was difficult, and her mother had to pretend to be crazy intermittently in order to protect her children. So the state of her family was not so harmonious.
Since they were young, my younger brothers and sisters knew that our family was not well off, so they knew how to save money. Life was very tight, and most families in their area were like this. Even if the family was well off, they would always put their sons first.
Girls are more or less introverted.
Even if he is not introverted, given his family conditions, he is not the kind of person who is outgoing and generous.
Mingmei was different from everyone she had met before, and she sighed that the environment in which a person grew up would have a great impact on his or her personality. She herself was like that. When she was a girl, her family was well-off, her parents were both there, and her love life was going smoothly. At that time, she was particularly optimistic.
Even after decades of wasting time, although she later became accustomed to being taciturn, she still has more courage than her brothers and sisters, which she developed when she was a child. Looking at Mingmei now, this optimistic, cheerful and confident girl is really rare.
Luo Xiaohe didn't have much contact with the people in the courtyard, but she felt that Mingmei had the best personality in the courtyard. She was naturally likable. She said, "Next time you come to eat, I will cut the meat a little thinner."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Okay."
They didn't have the problem of not talking while eating or sleeping. While eating, Lan Xiang took a quick look around the house and thought it was quite simple. He said, "Grandpa, why don't you buy a radio? It's so boring without a radio. It's not your style."
His grandfather's wise saying is: Enjoy yourself first.
This is a person who is afraid that "the person will die and the money will not be spent."
Lan Sihai: “I was going to buy it.”
He paused and said, "But this courtyard is so lively. I can talk about their gossips every day and have a lot of fun. There is no need to buy a radio. It is useless. How can listening to the radio be as fun as watching a play?"
Lan Xiang: “…This is really…”
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lan Sihai: "Just wait and see. Now that he's back, it's bound to be lively again."
Luo Xiaohe nodded silently, agreeing: "I think so too."
To be honest, Luo Xiaohe felt that having people like them was not a bad thing. She used to be very introverted and was always depressed. There was nothing she could do. She always felt uncomfortable when her life was not going well.
This kind of discomfort is not only in life, but also in spirit.
But since she married Lan Sihai, she feels that she is now a cheerful old lady.
There was so much going on in this courtyard, and outside the courtyard, there was also a lot of going on, with new gossip every day. She was so happy watching the show that every night before going to bed, she and her husband would discuss what kind of evil people in the courtyard had done today.
It’s true, even the most introverted and unhappy person can become fun.
She got off work early and went to her sister's workplace to tell her these gossips, which made her mother, who was unhappy because she couldn't support the family after getting married, take the initiative to find her and tell her that she should go home occasionally to liven up the family.
What a lively scene! Her mother's belief is that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Although she has been sucking her blood before she got married, her mother will not make things difficult for her after she got married.
An old lady is very contradictory.
Deep down, she still has old-fashioned ideas. Even if she doesn't like her daughter, she won't go to her daughter's house to ask for money. She will marry her.
Because of this, her mother rarely looks for her, and she doesn't go back to her parents' home. However, recently, because she went to her second sister's house and told some gossips, her mother's curiosity was aroused, and she actually took the initiative to look for her without caring about her face.
Luo Xiaohe didn't know what to say.
These eight essays are really attractive.
Because their yard was so lively, her mother became more cheerful every time she went back to her parents' home, and Luo Xiaohe became even more speechless. She, her second sister and third brother secretly went to the hospital to find her brother-in-law to inquire, and her brother-in-law consulted the doctor.
According to them, her mother was definitely partial, but she probably also had some mental illness, certainly not the kind that she showed herself, where she would chop people with a knife, but there were milder ones.
There is actually no such thing as depression at this time. If there is, the doctor would probably say this.
But now the doctor's meaning is roughly the same. Luo Xiaohe's mother has been too depressed and stressed over the years, and has some mental problems. In fact, Luo Xiaohe should have some of this, so listening to this kind of fun often will relieve anxiety, and people may gradually become cheerful.
Luo Xiaohe was really shocked at that time.
But if you think about it, it makes sense.
So, even though these families in their yard are quarreling loudly, God knows they are also entertaining many people. It is possible that some people with depression tendencies are having a lot of fun because of their gossip, which relieves their unhappy mood.
This is outrageous.
But, they did it!
Anyway, Luo Xiaohe herself is quite happy now. Firstly, her life with Lan Sihai is very smooth and much more comfortable than she expected. Secondly, it is really lively. She took the initiative to say: "In fact, they are making a fuss all day long, which is also a blessing for the people around us."
Zhuang Zhixi spit out a laugh and said, "I don't think Aunt Wang thinks so."
When Luo Xiaohe heard this, she couldn't help laughing. As the manager of the hospital, Aunt Wang really worked hard.
She said: "Although this is the case, I think Aunt Wang is also very happy to watch it."
Mingmei had finished eating by this time. She found a water cup, moved to the wall, leaned against it, and listened to the noise coming from next door.
"Oh no, is this effective for you?"
Mingmei: "That's what eavesdropping is all about."
She listened for a while and said helplessly: "I can't hear it."
If they were arguing loudly, they would definitely be able to hear it. If not, then it would be terrible. Mingmei was silently sad and sighed, "I wanted to hear some gossip, but I couldn't hear it." "It's okay. His little family affairs may be spread out soon."
This is a little bit of people's things, but they will never be spread out. For example, the Sui family is a normal family, and they will not make a fuss about any big or small things. They will quietly digest it internally and will not give people a chance to watch the fun.
But if it were the Zhou family, there would be nothing to say.
It's guaranteed to get out, because Aunt Zhou is not a quiet person. To put it in an old-fashioned way, a dog can't keep two ounces of oil in its stomach. If there's something, it can't be hidden.
Mingmei: "I'm listening."
She just stuck to him and stood up again: "No, this person today was brought here by the Su family. Isn't that the person the Su family helped them find..."
Although I tried to make up for it by asking relatives, no one believed me.
Mingmei suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Su family agreed to this with the Zhou family. No wonder the Zhou family let the Bai family father and son go."
Mingmei was quick-witted and soon figured out what was going on.
She could figure it out, and so could everyone else. It wasn't a complicated matter, and only the Su family or the Zhou family thought no one could see it. In fact, anyone with a little experience would be able to understand it right away.
Mingmei: “That’s really disgusting.”
She said, "What's the difference between this and the old procuress in ancient times?"
"No, it's not surprising." Zhuang Zhixi was familiar with their family. He said, "I just felt that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so cruel that they were willing to do such a thing in order to continue to suck the blood of the Bai family father and son!"
"Immoral." Luo Xiaohe despised this kind of people the most. She said seriously: "This kind of people will be punished."
Although she had not lived here for a long time, she knew roughly what Wang Xiangxiu was doing outside and what kind of person Aunt Su was. She herself did not like such people. Take her mother for example. When her father passed away, her mother was not very old. Although her mother treated her badly in many ways, Luo Xiaohe was still grateful to her mother. In order to protect her children, her mother even pretended to be crazy.
No matter how hard their family works, they can never earn this kind of money.
Just like that, they came over.
Luo Xiaohe looks down on people like this.
She said: "He is spineless and immoral."
Lan Sihai: "Look, you are angry again. It's not necessary. They are not related to us."
Luo Xiaohe: "I know, but I just don't like it."
Mingmei: "It's normal. Who would like a normal person?"
They gossip about these two families, but in fact, other people are also gossiping about these two families. Just as Lan Sihai can see it, in fact, others can see it too. How can they not see it? It's not complicated!
Aunt Wang went home and felt more and more disgusted. She said, "No, I have to talk to Aunt Zhou tomorrow. If she really did something like this, she would be completely heartless. And Aunt Su, who can't see that? Her family was involved in such a thing. I really misjudged her. I thought she had no choice but to do it because of her difficult life, but now I see that she is a terrible person."
Li Fang: "I've seen that he's not a good person, but you still don't believe it."
When she was in junior high school, she saw Aunt Su, who was still young at that time, sneaking into the woods with someone. It was so shocking that it was like seeing a ghost. So over the years, no matter how others said that Aunt Su was pitiful, she was very indifferent to that family.
Aunt Wang thought of her daughter's words, sighed, and said, "I really didn't expect that..."
The same thing happened to the Zhuang family at this time. Liang Meifen didn't understand much, but her husband Zhuang Zhiyuan did. Men are naturally more sensitive to this kind of thing. Liang Meifen was so disgusted that she almost vomited and said, "What kind of atmosphere is this family? They still think it's the old society, marrying a concubine?"
“No one admitted it.”
"Shameless, the Su family is also shameless, and they are trying to act as a matchmaker." Liang Meifen said firmly: "If you see Wang Xiangxiu in the future, stay away from me. If you dare to get involved with her, I will learn from Bai Doudou and make you finished!"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "...What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I firmly follow the Party's call and want to be a..."
Okay, Zhuang·Da Dao Zhiyuan has started again.
Liang Meifen: “…”
Zhao Guihua: "Shut up."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…”
This guy has a really bad temper.
He can talk all he wants in front of his wife, but not in front of his own mother.
"Mom, do you think Wang Zhaodi did it voluntarily?" asked Liang Meifen.
Zhao Guihua: "Whether she came voluntarily or not, she's here. Maybe she's not as weak as you think."
Zhao Guihua looked at the Zhou family across the street and didn't say anything more. As for this matter, since Wang Zhaodi had come, she knew how to go about this. And Zhao Guihua clearly remembered that Wang Zhaodi was not an ordinary girl.
Of course, this is not to say that she is a bad person, but that Wang Zhaodi, although weak, has her own ideas.
In fact, she did not suffer any loss in the Zhou family.
Zhao Guihua blinked and said, "Just wait and see."
At this time, Wang Zhaodi, who couldn't bear to be taken advantage of in Zhao Guihua's eyes, had quickly prepared dinner and sat at the table, looking eagerly at Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou seemed a little proud of being valued. This rural girl respected her more than Jiang Lu. She smiled and said, "Okay, eat."
Eat well so that you can have a baby.
Wang Zhaodi immediately picked up the rice bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls, and her chopsticks quickly picked up the meat dish... the donkey one. She didn't care what the dish was, as long as it was meat, she ate it happily.
Before Aunt Zhou and the others could react, Wang Zhaodi had already finished half of the plate and started to add a second bowl of rice...
