Chapter 227 Scared Away
It's really disappointing to meet annoying people as soon as you get back.
Erhe would not let Grandma He touch her. She originally thought that this was an easy thing to say. As an elderly person, eating well, sleeping well and taking good care of your body is the greatest reward you can give to the younger generation. As long as the conditions permit, the younger generation will of course be filial to you. Don't interfere in other matters. The children are all old, have started their own families and careers, and it is time for them to be able to stand on their own.
But some elderly people...
"Wife, go inside!"
Er He was about to say that she didn't need to show up for this matter, just let He Zheng handle it. He Zheng was the grandson, and if he had argued with the old lady, he would have argued. She was different, her last name wasn't He! He Zheng's handling of the matter was exactly what she wanted. Er He didn't even look at the old lady, but walked around her and into the house.
"Mom, you go in too."
Wang Xiu had this idea in mind. She was too lazy to see her mother-in-law. She didn't see that the family was living a good life now. Not to mention that it was all Erhe's credit, but Erhe must have made a great contribution. For example, every household was given more money, meat and eggs before the New Year this year, and that was all Erhe's idea.
But some old ladies are just blind.
The key cannot be said yet.
It's not frustrating.
"Come on, Erhe, let's go home."
The two walked into the yard. Grandma He saw that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law ignored her. She felt unhappy and reached out to pull them away.
He Zheng quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Grandma, stop pulling my wife."
"She's made of gold, why can't I touch her? My dear grandson, I'm thinking about you, please listen to grandma's advice."
"Don't listen. I don't want to hear a single word you say. I'm going to the capital in a few days. If you dare to bring some weird people home to bully my wife while I'm away, I don't know what I'll do if I go crazy. I might chop you or myself."
He Zheng is usually in a playful mood and is an interesting person who likes to joke around.
But once he becomes serious, his body shape and stern expression are particularly intimidating, and his eyes are fierce.
Grandma He's heart was beating fast from fright. "My dear grandson, grandma is timid, please don't scare me."
"I'm not trying to scare you. If you're a coward, just stay home and save your life. I'll give you all the filial piety I deserve. If you insist on making trouble, grandma, I'll tell you that when I go crazy, I'm not a human being. Not only me, but you also know the background of Erhe's family. When the time comes, we'll catch everyone in the He family and shoot them. You can just wait for the ancestors of the He family to come and settle the score with you!"
Grandma He was frightened, her heart was beating wildly and her face turned pale.
"Well, well, well, what is that?"
What else are you talking about?
Grandma He ran away. She didn't dare to offend the ancestors of the He family. This was a very immoral thing to do!
As soon as he saw her running away, the so-called master in the room started shaking his legs, shouting, "It's none of my business," and disappeared.
The other side.
Erhe and Wang Xiu were also in the yard, and they both heard what He Zheng had just said.
Wang Xiu said it was cool, but...
"Look how scared your grandma is,"
He Zheng said with a serious face, "Mom, I have to do this. Like I said just now, I'm going to the capital soon and can't be at home. Dad has a lot of things to do in the village, and it's just you and Erhe at home. If grandma comes to make trouble again, who will help you? So I have to speak sternly to completely dispel her idea."
Wang Xiu hadn't really thought about it so carefully. After hearing He Zheng's explanation, she nodded hurriedly, "You're right."
Looking at He Zheng again, he was very satisfied with his work and thought-provoking work. "You know what, after being away for two months, he's mature and capable of taking on responsibilities. That's great."
"Comrade Wang, how is your son doing? Does he behave like a father?" He was just praising, but he turned into a funny guy in an instant.
Wang Xiu laughed in agreement, "Got it, got it, our He Zheng has made it big!"
After finishing the small talk, Wang Xiu carried her things into the house and asked Erhe to sit outside first while she went to clean the room, after all, she had not lived there for a few days.
Erhe wanted to help, but Wang Xiu stopped her.
"You just take a rest, I'll go help mom later." He Zheng didn't want his wife to work, but he couldn't let his mother do everything either, so he decided to help out. As a man, doing some housework is nothing.
For this ideological awareness, I really have to give Erhe a thumbs up.
"Mom is right. You have become more and more mature since returning from the capital this time."
"That's how immature I am to take care of you and the baby."
The mother and son cleaned the room inside and out and took the quilt out to dry.
Erhe didn't really sit down. She took out everything in her luggage, including some nutritional supplements given to her by her elder sister.
In the evening, Zou Zhou and Li Xi also came to see her. They were happy for her when they heard that she was pregnant. They brought eggs and brown sugar. Before dinner, other families in the village also came with gifts, including a few eggs, half a pound of brown sugar, and some even a ball of wool. These were not particularly expensive gifts, but they were all thoughtful gestures from everyone.
Wang Xiu wrote down every favor, and she would repay them when she had the chance.
It was already evening after a busy day.
Erhe soaked her feet, and He Zheng went to pour out the water. They lay in the bed, with Erhe resting her head on He Zheng's arms.
"Wife, I'm going to the capital tomorrow. I promised to come back for a few days, and I can't break my promise."
Erhe was also mentally prepared for this. Although she seemed to prefer having her husband accompany her during pregnancy, there was nothing she could do if that was not possible.
Besides, she felt that her physical condition was still pretty good. The last time she fainted was really an accident. It might also be because the driver drove very unsteadily and stepped on the brakes too much.
"Well, go ahead. I haven't had the chance to ask you how the Third Master is doing."
He Zheng grabbed a strand of his wife's hair and played with it. "He's pretty stable, but he's thin. He's in good spirits."
"That's good."
As they were talking, He Zheng suddenly thought of something. He got up from the bed, found the luggage bag he had brought back from the capital, and pulled out a pink woolen coat from it. "Wife, I almost forgot. I bought this coat for you in the capital. The Third Master said the material is very good and it's light and warm to wear."
He Zheng didn’t understand either, but he thought the color was pretty and that his wife had fair skin, so she would look good in it.
Erhe knew that the material was of excellent quality as soon as she touched it. Although woolen coats were very common in later generations, they were truly luxury goods at that time. Even in the department stores in the provincial capital, such good goods could not be found. Probably only in the capital, and ordinary people could not buy them.
"Did you buy one for yourself?"
"No, I don't need it."
He Zheng didn't tell the truth. The clothes were very expensive and He Zheng couldn't bear to buy them. Why should he wear such a nice-looking dress? He could just let his wife wear it.
Not only that, He Zheng also took out a full thousand yuan, "Wife, take this money. Now that you are pregnant, you can stop making clothes. Take this money and use it. The salary paid by the Third Master is enough for you to spend. I will send money back after the New Year. You don't have to save it for me."
Erhe put the money away, not needing to put it anywhere, and just threw it into the space. "Give me the money and I'll keep it. The New Year is coming soon. When you get to the capital, buy yourself some new clothes, and also buy some clothes for your parents. When I have time, I'll go to the county town and pick out new clothes for them, and buy some nutritional supplements for my parents. I'll report to you now, and I'll tell you how much I spent later."
"No need," He Zheng stretched out his arm and let Erhe rest his head on him. "You can buy these as you like. Once I give you the money, it's yours. I won't check the accounts."
