Xu Zhaodi laughed so hard that she was out of breath.
"Hey... stop messing around..."
"Are you going to kick me again?"
"No more kicking. I was wrong, I was wrong. I was really wrong."
Chen Jianguo slapped her foot lightly.
"Since you begged for mercy, I will let you go."
Chen Jianguo stuffed her feet into the quilt, and just as he turned around, Xu Zhaodi kicked him in the butt quickly, and her feet tucked into the quilt.
This time she was much smarter and put her feet where Chen Jianguo couldn't reach.
Chen Jianguo turned around, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
Xu Zhaodi smiled brightly, and Chen Jianguo said, "Hey, you've really become more capable."
"No, I learned it from you."
Chen Jianguo's eyes were full of doting, and the man who was supposed to go to the backyard to chop firewood was lying on the kang again.
"Come here, let me show you something."
"What?"
"You'll find out when you come over."
"Don't try to take advantage of me."
"I have already taken what I should have. Is there any place on your body that is not mine?"
Xu Zhaodi blushed at what she said: "Shameless."
"Okay, okay, I'm shameless."
He agreed with a smile and took out a written letter of denunciation from his pocket.
"Help me see if there is anything wrong."
Xu Zhaodi opened it and read it carefully from beginning to end.
"Why didn't you mention the matter of Baoguo?"
“Can’t mention it, it’s too obvious.
The content of this letter is enough to make Xu Daqiang feel uncomfortable. After all, you have his blood in your veins, so I still want to hear your opinion."
Xu Zhaodi folded the letter and handed it to Chen Jianguo, saying seriously, "Chen Jianguo, I'll tell you again, I have nothing to do with them.
They just gave birth to me, and when I married you, I didn't owe them anything.
If you mention this to me again, I'll be really angry with you.
I am from the Tian family."
Seeing that Xu Zhaodi was really anxious, Chen Jianguo said, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?
Besides, you are my wife now, and you are mine.”
Xu Zhaodi said: "That's about right.
To be honest, you did nothing wrong in doing this. It was he who was going too far and occupying the toilet without doing anything.
If he continues to be the secretary, the villagers will suffer a lot in the future.
You are doing a disservice to the people.”
Chen Jianguo gave Xu Zhaodi a thumbs up.
"Rushi is teachable. My wife is getting better and better."
"Go, go, go, I'll get up and cook.
After dinner, send me home. I will go back to see my parents and my grandma. "
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two men agreed that when Xu Zhaodi was about to go to the fields, Chen Jianguo would take out his own jacket and put it on Xu Zhaodi.
"I just slept hot, put on a coat, otherwise you will easily catch a cold."
Before Xu Zhaodi put on her coat, Zhang Cuihua's voice came from the door.
"Zhao Di, are you awake?"
Xu Zhaodi glared at Chen Jianguo and quickly put on her clothes.
"Mom, I'm awake and I'm going to make dinner right away."
Zhang Cuihua said: "Don't worry, I'm coming in."
The door curtain opened and she came in holding a pair of newly made black cotton shoes in her hands.
"I made you a pair of cotton shoes. Try them on to see if they are big enough."
When Xu Zhaodi looked at the shoes that Zhang Cuihua handed over to her, her eyes instantly became wet.
The memory was instantly brought back to the previous moment.
Last year, she graduated from high school with no education. Even if she worked part-time outside, the money she brought back would be taken away by her step-mother.
She had no money to buy shoes in the middle of winter, so her stepson gave her a pair of snow boots that her stepsister had worn.
Those shoes pinch my feet and the glue starts to come off after wearing them for a while.
She glued the shoes together countless times that year, but it was basically ineffective.
That year, she got a lot of frostbite on her feet.
The pair of shoes in front of her made her feel the warmth brought by her family for a moment.
She took it slowly and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Mom."
"What are you thanking me for? Try it on and try it on."
Chen Jianguo said: "I'll put it on for you."
As he spoke, he pulled at his trousers and pretended to squat.
There were adults watching nearby, and Xu Zhaodi felt embarrassed, so she pulled Chen Jianguo back.
"Don't make a fuss, I'll do it myself."
Zhang Cuihua watched every move of the young couple and smiled with relief.
Sure enough, the relationship between the two children is much closer than when they first got married.
fine!
Xu Zhaodi put on the shoes. They were very comfortable and fit perfectly.
Zhang Cuihua squatted down and pressed the toe of the shoe, and it fit perfectly.
She smiled kindly and said, "Before we got married, I went to ask your mom. She said you wear a size 38. I made it a little loose. I'll buy you a pair of cotton insoles to put in your shoes so your feet won't get cold."
"Thank you, Mom."
Xu Zhaodi sat on the edge of the kang, intending to take off her shoes.
Zhang Cuihua stopped him and said, "It's so cold, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"I'll keep it for the New Year."
Zhang Cuihua was amused.
"It's okay, put them on, mom will make you another pair when she has time."
Xu Zhaodi knew that making such a pair of cotton shoes was not easy.
You need to collect some rags first, then mix the paste and stick them together layer by layer. After they are dry, cut them and then put on the top, wrap the edges, sew the soles, and so on.
Therefore, when the villagers make shoes, they will make a lot of soles and uppers at a time, and then slowly take the time to make them.
Chen Jianguo also said: "My mother said, it looks good on you, put it on."
Xu Zhaodi's eyes were red: "Okay, then I'll put it on first."
In fact, she was reluctant to do so.
Chen Jianguo said: "It looks good, does Mom have any for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, all five of you brothers and sisters have it.
Okay, I'll cook while you two chat."
Xu Zhaodi said: "I will help."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out one after another. Chen Jianguo stared at the back of Xu Zhaodi's head and smiled happily.
He dreamed about this kind of day.
Now, it has finally come true.
His wife is so virtuous, he should be nicer to her in the future.
In the kitchen, Zhang Cuihua mixed cornmeal and planned to steam some steamed buns. After that, she would fry some potato chips and cook a pot of radish soup. That would be a makeshift dinner.
Chen Jianguo was chopping firewood in the backyard.
In winter, it gets dark early.
Chen Baoguo came back at half past five.
After a tiring day, he was exhausted.
When he came back, he washed his hands in the yard and went into the kitchen with messy hair.
When he saw Xu Zhaodi, he was a little surprised.
Why has she lost weight again?
Chen Baoguo called out "sister-in-law" in a muffled voice.
Xu Zhaodi saw that Chen Baoguo had become thinner, had an untidy beard, and looked not energetic at all.
It seems that this incident has dealt him a heavy blow.
Xu Zhaodi asked, "Are you back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
Chen Baoguo felt a little embarrassed because there were so many people in the kitchen. Then he heard the sound of chopping wood coming from the backyard, so he had to go to the backyard.
Chen Jianguo saw him and frowned, "Look at how you look now. It's just a small matter, but you've made yourself look so exhausted.
After this is over, I'll go take a bath in the town to get rid of the bad luck, and then get a haircut."
"I know, bro."
Chen Baoguo quietly and neatly piled the chopped firewood aside.
In the kitchen, steamed corn bread was being steamed in the pot and Xu Zhaodi ate potato chips.
Put lard in the pot, sauté scallion and garlic slices, then pour in potato slices and stir-fry.
By the time the potato slices are out of the pot, the steamed corn bread is also cooked.
Xu Zhaodi also cooked the vegetable vermicelli soup.
The food was served and the family sat at the table to eat.
Chen Jianguo picked up some food for Xu Zhaodi's bowl, and Chen Kaifang saw this.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's temper was much better than before, he felt relieved.
Xu Zhaodi ate a steamed corn bread and drank half a bowl of vegetable and vermicelli soup.
After the meal, she took a bucket of soybean oil and 10 kilograms of noodles.
"Mom, I'm going home to see my parents and my grandma. Please clean up the dishes."
Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan, who were still eating, heard the word "hard work" and looked up at each other.
My sister-in-law has grown really big.
Zhang Cuihua said: "This kid, it's not hard or not, we don't have to be so polite as a family.
Let Jianguo accompany you, and come back sooner rather than later."
Chen Jianguo drank the last mouthful of soup and grabbed a steamed bun to eat.
In the team, he exercised a lot every day and ate a lot. He could only feel full after eating eight steamed buns and drinking two bowls of soup.
Chen Jianguo carried the soybean oil and flour, and the two of them walked out of the yard and headed towards Tian Yuhu's home.
The snowflakes were still falling, and the paths in the village were covered with snow.
The sky darkened and everything around was quiet.
The two arrived at the door of Tian Yuhu's house, but the door had already been locked from the inside.
Xu Zhaodi pushed the door and called out from the door.
"mom……"
Wang Yulian hasn't gone to bed yet at this time. After finishing her meal, she is sitting on the kang and making shoes.
Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yulian gently touched Tian Yuhu with her feet under the quilt.
"Dad, why do I hear someone at the door? It sounds like Zhaodi's voice."
Tian Hu said: "Are you missing your child?
Where is the sound? Why didn’t I hear it? "
