"Brother, look what this is."
This Saturday's dinner was held at Shazhu's house, and unexpectedly there was one more person. Shazhu happily showed off a treasure, which annoyed everyone. Lou Xiao'e on the side rolled her eyes.
"Brother has received the certificate, haha, come on, call me sister-in-law."
"Team leader, don't listen to his nonsense. He hasn't done anything yet, so it doesn't count."
< br>Si Zhu asked people to call her sister-in-law in person, especially Zhu Xuefeng. Although they were familiar with her at work, had many contacts, and had a good relationship, Lou Xiao'e still blushed and couldn't let go.
"Sister-in-law, this document has legal effect. Even if you don't do anything, you two are still a legal couple. Haha, good things come in their own way, good things come in their own way. Well, well, brother Zhuzi, I will have two more drinks with you later. . ”
In front of Lou Xiaoe, He Yuyu was also very considerate. He and his two children also called her sister-in-law politely, which made Lou Xiaoe want to get under the table.
The meal made Silly Zhu very unhappy. The two planned to take advantage of the May Day holiday to set up a few tables in the yard without any fuss, and then live a down-to-earth life together.
"Good thing, good thing, haha, come on, let's toast the two newlyweds again."
Zhu Xuefeng and He Yuyu raised their drinks, and the two children also raised their drinks happily, Silly Zhula Lou Xiao'e, who was so ashamed, happily drank a drink.
Silly Zhu was very excited today, and despite Lou Xiao'e's repeated dissuasion, he still drank a lot.
"Ezi, I have a great time today, just let me drink more. Don't worry, I promise to drink less in the future. Haha, I'm waiting to carry on the family line. Brother Zhu is not an outsider, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Sister, please tell me, do our two families look like the same person?"
"My brother is right, sister-in-law, it's rare that you two get what you want. If my brother is so happy, just let him be wild for a while. He has been holding back so much in the past two years."
Seeing her sister-in-law say this, Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to let it go. She found a wet towel and kept wiping the sweat on Shazhu. The weather in early March made Shazhu uncomfortable. Drunk and sweating profusely.
No matter how happy Silly Zhu was, his drinking capacity did not change much. As he was happy today, he drank a lot more than usual, and soon fell asleep leaning against the cabinet.
"Look, look, he drank happily, team leader, he drank so much, he will be fine."
Lou Xiao'e felt distressed and worried at the same time, She could see that Silly Zhu was very happy, and she was too embarrassed to stop him anymore, but she saw that Silly Zhu's eyes slowly became blurred, and soon he leaned against the cabinet and snored slightly.
Looking at Silhu, who had fallen asleep and was still sweating, Zhu Xuefeng was relieved.
"He is drunk. Normally he can't drink this. Just remember to let him drink more water. He has a headache. Brother Zhuli wakes up this time, and his alcohol capacity will definitely increase, haha . ”
He helped Lou Xiaoe clean up the silly column and throw it on the bed. Lou Xiaoe was worried and stood guard in front of the bed, while He Yuyu took the two tidies.
"Sister-in-law, if nothing happens, I'll go back and have a rest first. Please do your best and stay here with me for a while. Brother Zhuzhu is sure to be fine. I'll let him refill some water later. I'll take a rest and take you back."
Lou Xiao'e also He was a little hesitant, "Is he really okay like this?"
"Of course it's okay. Brother Zhuzhu usually likes to drink a little wine. Today he is happy. That's all he is. The wine is good. Drink more. Don't make too much noise. I will get up on time tomorrow and nothing will happen. His body is really not comparable to that of many people."
"No matter how good your health is, you can't be like this. I heard that he is always drunk. This body is slowly breaking down. You can’t accompany him like this in the future. You have to help me stop him.” It’s the same, haha, I’m leaving.”
Lou Xiao’e looked at Silhu, who was sleeping soundly, and stroked his forehead with compassion, then gently smoothed his slightly frowned brows.
“You are so happy and drunk like this, why can’t you let go and frown when you fall asleep?”
I just cleaned it at home, and my younger siblings and He Yuyu also cleaned it up. It's over, Lou Xiao'e was guarding Silly Pillar over there, and He Yuyu didn't feel comfortable staying there, so the three of them came over together.
"Brother, you are too bad. If Chef He is happy, just drink silly with him. Now that you are better, Sister Yuyu can't even treat you."
The younger sister criticizes her when she comes in. Brother, he raised his head again and brushed away the uncomfortable big hand on his head.
"You didn't drink less. Are you okay? How about I make you a pot of tea and wake up."
He Yuyu was also speechless to the little girl, "This girl, you were still lecturing in the previous sentence. , I will make tea for you again later...".
Zhu Xuefeng sat down and said with a smile, "As a dear sister, it's not the right thing to care about your elder brother."
"What do you mean, saying that I didn't go to take care of my brother? It's my turn. Now that I'm liberated, I won't stop you two from drinking anymore. Someone is taking care of you two anyway." He Yuyu curled his lips and smiled. He was very charming. He didn't know that he would take advantage of that kid in the future. .
“It doesn’t take long to do things in May. You still have to find time to tidy up your house. Last year, the renovation was stopped less than half way.”
“I can’t control this. "My brother said that the furniture has been made and everything else is ready. It should be fine if we just wait for the weather to get better before tidying up the house."
Thinking of the possible heavy rains in summer, Zhu Xuefeng gave a cryptic reminder. , "Remind your brother when the time comes, spend more time renovating the house and make it more detailed, otherwise the summer will be difficult."
He Yuyu thought it was because there were more mosquitoes when opening windows in the summer, and said with a smile. .
"I really can't care about this, Xuefeng, let me tell you something. I will go there for an internship during the summer vacation. This matter has been decided. I will go to the grassland to escape the summer heat."
"It's decided so soon? Isn't it just the beginning of school? Aren't summer internships only decided in May?"
Zhu Xuefeng was greatly surprised. He Yuyu had told him about going to the Grassland Woolen Mill, but he didn't expect it to develop so quickly.
"It's not too fast. We have completed all the homework for the third grade during the summer vacation. The fourth grade is internship. Unlike you, you have to study for six years."
That's right, He Yuyu this time The internship is different from the general summer internship. This internship is connected with the internship assigned after graduation.
“The living habits in that place are very different from those in the city. You’d better think carefully about it. Don’t get used to it after going there, and it will be difficult to come back.”
He Yuyubu He thought, "No matter how hard it is to be hungry, I have only had enough to eat in the past few years since I was a child. It's okay. He Yuyu can definitely endure the hardships that others can endure. Besides, I really yearn for the sea and the There is no hope for the grassland and the sea. You must go to the grassland."
Zhu Xuefeng stopped trying to persuade him. The two chatted for a while about their school experiences and discussed national costumes. He Yuyu wanted to go to the grassland and wanted to see it. I came out and specifically studied the traditional costumes of the Mongols, Manchus and other grassland ethnic groups. There is an overwhelming amount of information in the capital.
Looking at how late it was, "Let's go over there. I'll see your sister-in-law off, and you should pay more attention to your brother."
"How about I see you off?"
Zhu Xuefeng knew what He Yuyu was worried about. If an unmarried sister-in-law went out with a young man at night, there would definitely be rumors.
"Are you worried about this too? Your sister-in-law is a member of my team. We basically meet every day these days and work in the same office. If anyone chews his tongue, let her chew it."
"You, you really don't have a good heart. They both got the certificate. I'm still worried about my sister-in-law. I'm so happy when I don't see my brother. It's you I'm worried about. If your reputation is affected, that's it. The gain outweighs the loss." He Yuyu glared at Zhu Xuefeng.
"Then it's even better. You've seen Xiaoxia before. She's not that kind of person. Let's go."
Under the dim light of Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was holding a Bamboo sticks, Kneeling in front of them was Bangjian. Although his buttocks were burning and his eyes were full of tears, he stubbornly remained silent, neither admitting his mistake nor begging for mercy.
Qin Huairu felt very unhappy. She heard clearly what was happening at Shazhu’s house in the middle courtyard. She knew that Shazhu had received the certificate. Shazhu didn’t hide it at all. Knowing that, he happily led Lou Xiaoe to the door, with a proud look on his face, wishing everyone would take the initiative to ask.
Seeing all this, Qin Huairu always felt boundless sorrow in her heart. Once again she felt that something precious was far away from her, and there was a pain in her heart. Qin Huairu couldn't understand it. Now that she has gone through The two confrontations with Lou Xiao'e have completely extinguished the ambition in my heart that was not strong in the first place, but why is this happening? It makes me heartache.
"Tell me, why did you go to the uncle's house to steal money again? Don't think that no one knows because no one saw it. Your teacher said that you stole your classmates' stationery at school. I thought it was a mistake and it was unjust. You, now it seems that we have a little enemy in the Jia family. You are so dirty when you grow up. Who taught you that?” The idea of stealing money must have been instigated by someone. I watched my child grow up, and I never saw him having this problem at home. In the past, my mother-in-law hid all her money under the pillow, and I didn’t see the little guy stealing it. Now I don’t have any money of my own. Deliberately hiding it, I never see it missing.
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t beat you to death.” Seeing Banggeng holding his head up stubbornly and refusing to admit his mistake, Qin Huairu’s mind went crazy when he heard the laughter and laughter of Shazhu’s family in the middle courtyard. Excited, the slender bamboo rod was pulled out neither lightly nor hard. The moment it was pulled out, it was regretted, but looking at the stubborn rod, it was still pulled out toward the butt.
Banggen subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him. The tough bamboo stick left a dazzling red mark on Banggen's hand. Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment.
"Mom, don't hit your brother, don't hit your brother."
Gently push Xiaodang away who is begging for mercy, and look at Banggeng who keeps waving his hands and sucking the cool air from his mouth. He is really a Banggeng, and he still doesn't beg for mercy and admit his mistake even though he is like this.
Qin Huairu seemed to be possessed by a madman at this moment, and gritted his teeth again and asked.
“You still don’t want to say anything?” He raised the bamboo stick again. Seeing his mother becoming unfamiliar and the bamboo stick about to fall down again, Banggeng immediately wanted to get up and run away. Now he really wants to run away, Qin Huai Ru couldn't catch up at all, but Banggen always felt like the two boys from the Liu family running away at every turn, which was unmanly behavior. But at this moment, the burning taste on his hands made him decide to become a man who could stretch and bend for once.
Unfortunately, he had been kneeling for a long time and could no longer walk. He moved a little, and his stiff knees made him choose to open his mouth.
"I said, I said..."
Qin Huairu, whose nameless anger had not been vented, asked with a dark face and gritted teeth.
"Then tell me, who taught you."
"It's grandma, it's grandma, she said, my neighbor wants me to grow up and support them in their old age, but why."< br>
“You are still stubborn, your grandma has been gone for almost two years, who can teach you.”
Qin Huairu didn't quite believe it. Banggeng was only nine years old when her mother-in-law went in, and she didn't see Banggeng having such a problem.
Seeing my mother raise the bamboo stick again, the stick will stretch and bend to the end.
"That's right, that's right, the door opposite has never given me good things, nor has he raised us. Why should I raise them in the future? Since they asked me to call them grandpa and grandma, what does it mean to take a little from them? It’s not considered stealing.”
Qin Huairu was furious when she saw that BangGeng was still arguing.
“You white-eyed wolf, my aunt has been so kind to you for nothing. Your mother and I are not at home. Your dinner that day was not at my uncle’s house. That meal was not cooked for you three by your aunt. You Do you have any conscience?"
Banggan crossed his neck and said, "What do you think, her food is becoming more and more vegetarian, and she can't see a meat star for half a month? Is this a good thing for our family? Why can’t the uncle, who is rich, insist on eating such terrible food like other people’s families? You still want to raise them when I grow up?” Small things are secretly kept in mind as evidence of abuse.
"Your grandma is sick and can only eat this kind of food. You are not a young person anymore. You can't even tell the difference between good and evil. You are working so hard to cook and serve you three miserable ghosts." , You have done something wrong, see if I don’t hit you, you are a heartless thing.”
Bangge reluctantly moved his stiff knees to avoid it, and he was still reluctant to give up.
"She can't eat by herself, so she wants us to accompany her? Why not do it separately? I'm right..."
The bamboo sticks that hit his head came again, and the sticks couldn't be avoided. His red eyes suffered silently, but they didn't cry. They stared at Qin Huairu, full of unyielding hatred.
The movement finally alerted the man on the opposite side. Looking at the stick with several red marks on it, the man stopped Qin Huairu who seemed to be losing his mind. He grabbed the bamboo stick and criticized harshly.
"What are you doing? You have no brains. The child is still young. Let me tell you, you asked you to reason with him. What are you doing for? If you make a commotion, how will the child see anyone in the future? ”
As he said that, he felt distressed and wanted to pull Banggong over to check the injury. Unexpectedly, Banggong avoided him with a cold face. .
There was a sound at the door of Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard, and Zhu Xuefeng and Lou Xiao'e came out together. The Jia family fell into a deathly silence. Only Xiaodang sat on the kang head holding his still ignorant sister, looking at the changes. My mother, like a human, was shivering.
"The pillar thing is finally done, and someone will take care of it from now on."
The third uncle glanced at the two figures pushing the cart out of the front yard, and put down the book.
"It's not easy. We didn't make it last year. I thought there was no chance for these two, but I think this girl can do it." The third aunt handed over the teacup with refilled hot water.
"Check how much money Shazhu paid to Jie Cheng at that time, and we will pay it back accordingly. This kind of thing cannot be criticized."
An early spring night , under the dim street lights, no one was walking around in the alley, Lou Xiao'e was sitting in the back seat of Zhu Xuefeng.
"I heard from Zhuzi that you still kept the secret between us. Team leader, how do you want to keep it secret?"
Lou Xiao'e mustered up the courage to ask the question that had confused her for a long time. Now she and Silly Zhuzheng She also accepted it, so there was nothing to worry about. At that time, in order to ease her heart, Silly Zhu couldn't help but leaked the truth about Zhu Xuefeng's promise to cover them up.
"Brother Zhuzhu, this kind of thing is all nonsense. Well, you two will be a family in the future, so you can't blame him."
I originally wanted to blame Silly Zhu, but after thinking about it, I felt relieved. They will be a couple in the future, and sooner or later they will have to hide this kind of thing. Although it is of great importance, Zhu Xuefeng now has confidence in his heart and no longer worries about it before.
"Originally, I shouldn't have told you, but it doesn't matter now, but if you want to tell me, I won't admit it."
"Just tell me, I'm not like him , It doesn’t matter what the matter is, I dare to say it.”
“It’s okay. If there is a twist in the matter between you two, I will find a way to find someone to send you two away and go out to live with you. "Little days."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Team leader, do you really have a way to do this?" "It's fine if I don't get married."
Originally, in Lou Xiao'e's mind, she was married to a worker and she was also a worker, so she should be considered safe, especially since Zhu Zhu had a good relationship with Zhu Xuefeng and Zhu Xuefeng's influence in the steel rolling mill. She knew very well that with his help, the life of the two of them should be stable. Besides, Shazhu had also established a friendship with Director Yang. In the future, it would not be difficult for the family to seek peace instead of wealth.
My parents have always wanted to leave, but had no way out. I didn't expect that the team leader would have a way out, so I kept an eye on it. Of course I don't need it now. If my parents really have a problem, this person should be able to help.
"Team leader, come to my house for a chat later. My parents have heard of you, especially this time when I was transferred to the vehicle factory. My dad has always wanted to thank you."< br>
"This kind of thing is nothing to worry about. It should be. Since we are a team, I can't watch you two having an awkward time there. It's good now, and you two can help me a lot."
Seeing that he was about to arrive home, Zhu Xuefeng still did not agree to come and sit at home, so Lou Xiaoe had to stop thinking and look for another opportunity.
"You two have set the date around May Day this time. Are you not going to the Spring Canton Fair?"
"You missed a big event last time you went there. You don't want to go this time. Besides, this time the Canton Fair The participants have been decided the day before yesterday, so there is nothing wrong with us."
Although Lou Xiao'e said so, she still felt a little regretful that she was not allowed to go. She and Zhou Wenwen were not left behind once. This time. The roster of personnel was determined early, but two people were unexpectedly not selected.
“I heard that the secretary personally selected the people this time. Those who have been there before have not been selected at all.”
The steel rolling mill seems to be slowly changing. This kind of thing It was not something that an outsider could get involved in. Zhu Xuefeng was just concerned about whether Lao Yang and Lao Xia would be affected.
“Wait a minute.”
Seeing the entrance to the courtyard of Lou Xiaoe's house, Zhu Xuefeng whispered a reminder.
Lou Xiao'e's house is a two-story building with a yard at the front and back. The yard is not big and not very eye-catching, but Zhu Xuefeng can clearly feel the presence of several people outside the backyard of her house.
"It's okay. Be careful when you go back. There may be a thief targeting your home."
