Chapter 36: The Favored Sister-in-Law
Lin Yiyi watched a play in which you love her, she loves him, and he and she, and she felt very satisfied and happy.
However, she couldn't stay here any longer in the dark. If someone came, she wouldn't be able to explain. After all, there were only her, who was sober, and the drunk Yang Jingfeng, here. They might accuse her of being a hooligan.
Everyone knew about the original owner's emotional entanglement with the male protagonist. If she was caught in the act, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with ten mouths.
Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and then ran away, but she didn't go far before she started to wonder again. It was so cold and she had also seen news reports about drunk people who were left outside overnight and froze to death. If she pretended not to know something that had happened to Yang Jingfeng when she clearly saw it, she would really feel guilty.
She also remembered that this guy had returned her money and made plans for her.
Forget it, he stamped his feet, ran back to the educated youth camp, pinched his nose and shouted to the inside in a rough voice: "Hey! Who is that? Sleeping in the shed in the threshing ground? Is it a thief or someone else?"
There was no movement in the yard.
Lin Yiyi yelled again, "Someone is drunk and acting crazy in the shed in the threshing ground."
He picked up two pebbles and smashed them against the gate of the educated youth camp, making a loud noise. Seeing the gate open, Lin Yiyi quickly hid behind a tree and waited for the two or three educated youth who came out to walk towards the threshing ground before he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the educated youth went to the shack and found Yang Jingfeng, they would definitely carry him back. If she showed up at the educated youth point to call for help, she would be afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so it was better not to show up.
She must be the one who does good deeds without leaving a name. Lin Yiyi smiled proudly, patted the dust on her hands, took a small path in the dark and returned to the Zhao family.
Things at the educated youth point seemed quiet on the surface, but they were extremely exciting inside.
In the following days, it became colder and colder, and the snow fell thicker. The whole village was covered in white, and people were freezing.
After lunch, Lin Yiyi went back to the house to teach Tiedan to read. Tiedan made great progress under her guidance and could count to 20. Just after she taught her for a while, the voice of a strange woman was heard outside the house.
Zhao Lili and her brother Zhao Cong were in high school in town. The school was on winter break and the two siblings returned home, carrying large and small bags of things, out of breath. As soon as they entered the yard, Zhao Lili couldn't wait to shout, "Mom, Dad! I'm back."
Zhao Cong is a calm person. Although he and his sister are twins, they have completely different personalities. One is quiet and the other is active. Zhao Lili is an extrovert who likes to make threats all the time.
In the house, Wang Caihong and Zhao's father were just talking about their two darlings when they suddenly heard their little girl's voice, which made the old couple so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Wang Caihong got up and walked out of the house. She saw Zhao Cong moving luggage from a bicycle in the yard and felt so distressed.
She took a few steps forward and hugged her daughter, calling her her darling. She also turned around and said to Zhao's father, "Dad, help Congcong get her things into the house. It's snowing all the way back and she must be freezing. My dearest daughter, are you hungry?"
"I'm so hungry, Mom. I want to eat meat. My brother and I have just returned from school and haven't had lunch yet." Zhao Lili hugged her mother for a long time, acting coquettishly.
Wang Caihong heard that they didn't have lunch and it was already afternoon, she felt distressed again, "Okay, mom will make noodles for you right away, you two can fill your stomachs first, and I will stew chicken for you in the evening."
He took his son and daughter's hands and went into the house, made some brown sugar water and got some biscuits, fearing that they would be hungry. Zhao Tiezhu had always been a silent character, but when his son and daughter came back, he rarely smiled.
Wang Caihong entered the kitchen and started kneading dough and boiling water. Her movements were so smooth that she served two large bowls of egg noodles in a short time. She also knocked on the door of the third brother's house and asked Zhao Li to kill and pluck the old hen in the chicken coop that didn't lay eggs, so that she could stew the old hen.
People who used to be forbidden to use oil when cooking and had to cook with plain water are now willing to kill chickens for food.
Lin Yiyi couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this in the house. It seemed that she had misunderstood her mother-in-law Wang Caihong. She was not stingy, she was only generous to her beloved ones.
But everyone was eating at the same table, so she could also get some meat for dinner. In modern times, Lin Yiyi just couldn't live without meat.
In the past two or three months, she had only gone to town to buy meat buns twice, and on her wedding day she had a meal of cabbage and vermicelli stewed with pork. What a sin.
Lin Yiyi didn't like eating fatty meat since she was a child, but after being beaten down by reality, she has changed and can eat even something with a little fat. The environment really changes people.
Zhao Tiezhu and Wang Caihong had five children, four boys and one girl. When giving birth to the third child, Zhao Li, Wang Caihong had a difficult delivery and almost died and was injured, so she disliked Zhao Li very much.
Zhao Cong and Zhao Lili are twins born to Wang Caihong when she was 30 years old. Naturally, the two siblings became the most favored in the family as soon as they were born.
In the early years, the family conditions were poor, and the twins were given priority in terms of good food and drink. They were raised with great love, and it was always the second and third children who did the farm work. The two siblings were raised to be clean and pure.
The eldest son, Zhao Xing, was the first child. He helped Wang Caihong gain a foothold in the Zhao family right after she married into the family. She also had the ability to marry a city girl and went to the city to eat commercial grain.
The second and third sons are useless and stay at home to farm. Their ten fingers are of different lengths. Although they are all their biological children, the Zhao couple favor the eldest son, the youngest son, and the youngest daughter.
Wang Caihong either beat or scolded Zhao Sheng and Zhao Li. Later, when Zhao Sheng found a way to become an apprentice and then a freight driver, Wang Caihong began to pay more attention to the second brother Zhao Sheng.
The Zhao family did not split up. Zhao Sheng gave 30 yuan out of his monthly salary of 49 yuan to Wang Caihong. Together with the money that the eldest son Zhao Xing mailed home, Wang Caihong had a lot of money in her hands, which she saved and spent on her beloved daughter.
Nowadays, everyone has a few patches on their clothes, and their clothes are worn and white from being washed. But Zhao Cong and Zhao Lili wore new cotton-padded jackets and black leather shoes, and rode bicycles to school in town. The two siblings had never done farm work, but they were more like city people than those who lived in the city.
Zhao Lili and her brother sat on the kang, eating noodles and garlic, and chatting with Zhao's mother.
Thinking about the big bag of dirty clothes I took home, I pouted to my mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, I haven't washed the clothes I've worn yet. I brought them all back. Remember to wash them for me later."
Zhao Lili didn't feel embarrassed at all. She was brought up in her family with great pampering, and had never had to do any housework.
"Do I need to tell you this? Your brother and sister-in-law are at home, so they don't need you. It's so cold, just go into the house with Congcong and take a nap after dinner." Wang Caihong had a doting look on her face, and then she remembered that the kang in her youngest son and daughter's room was not heated, so she stood at the door and shouted loudly towards Lin Yiyi's room.
"Second son's wife, when the third son kills a chicken, you can stew the old hen and make two more delicious dishes tonight."
Then he instructed his third daughter-in-law who was sweeping the snow in the yard, "Dongmei, light up the kang in my younger brother and sister's room first. We'll sweep the yard later. You've been doing this all day long without any sense of propriety. You have to be told to do something before I tell you to do it."
