Chapter 197 Uninvited Guests Break the Rules
Feng Zhuanxia bought a lock that day, the kind with four keys.
She gave a handful to each member of the family, urging them to remember to lock the door when they finally went out.
In addition, she also found a heavy locust tree and placed it at the door, bolting the door inside at all times.
Although the people in the village didn't say anything, they actually knew very well in their hearts that almost every family had done this kind of thing.
The only difference is that they don’t know which yin and yang the Zhao Yang family is looking for and which aspect they are adjusting.
Feng Zhuanxia called her sister Feng Zhuanqin and her eldest daughter Zhao Mei and told them not to come to their home in the near future.
It was calm for two weeks.
Monday of the third week.
After breakfast, Zhao Hongcai went to the fields, while Feng Zhuanxia took Zhao Lan to the market.
Guan Lei is the only one in the family.
She was quite bored sitting there, so she dug out some fabrics and needlework and prepared to learn how to make small clothes and shoes for the child in her belly.
She had never done any of this before.
Just when she was holding the scissors to the fabric and had no idea what to do, the door rang.
She was startled, put down the scissors quickly, and walked out quickly, only to see her mother Zhang Caihe walking into the yard.
She looked at the door latch, which was standing in the corner.
She just went outside to use the toilet. She remembered that she had bolted the door. Did she remember it wrong?
She regretted not calling her mother a while ago.
She asked hurriedly: "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you see the red cloth bag on the door?"
"Yes, has it been unlucky for the family recently?" ”
Guan Lei originally wanted to tell her mother the whole story, but then she thought of Lao Yin Yang's warning that she couldn't tell anyone about it.
She couldn't push her mother out, let alone already come in.
What she wants now is to send her mother away quickly, before Feng Zhuanxia and the others see it.
"What the hell Zhao Yang did, I don't know very well. Mom, what do you want from me?"
"Oh." Zhang Caihe took off his straw hat and threw it outside the window He sat down on the steps on the window sill, sighed, and said, "Xiaojie came last in the exam again this time, failing both Chinese and mathematics."
Just talk about this specifically?
Guan Lei was very depressed, but she still smiled and said: "Xiaojie is still young. When he gets older and sensible, he will naturally study hard. He is so smart and will catch up soon. Come up.”
Zhang Caihe nodded with satisfaction.
"Mom, don't we have a telephone installed at home? You can call me to tell me these things. I feel bad for you to come all the way."
Zhang Caihe waved his hand and said, "That's not it. What I want to say is other things. In fact, I also thought about calling, but I was afraid that Zhao Yang's parents would hear it."
"What's going on, Mom, please tell me quickly."
"Do you think I was cheated?"
"Oh Mom, please tell me quickly, who lied to you?" ?”
Zhang Caihe sat on the steps and said, “Do you remember what I told you last time? The man named Gu gave me 200 yuan, and I later lent it to work with him. "That voyage." "Remember," Guan Lei nodded, "hasn't he sent you money yet?"
Zhang Caihe shook his head and said, "I have been doing this every day. I ran to the post and telecommunications office. Everyone in the post and telecommunications office knew me. He clearly said it would take three to five days. It has been more than ten days. Please give me a glass of water. My mouth is a little dry after walking for so long. "
Guan Lei quickly went into the house, poured a glass of water, and said, "Mom, I think you should go to the county seat again and ask him in person."
"I think so too. Zhang Caihe took a sip, "How are you? Are you still vomiting?"
"Much better." Guan Lei was focused on getting her mother to leave quickly and didn't want to say anything more.
"Where are the rest of the family? Are Zhao Yang's parents okay?"
"Everything is fine." Guan Lei scratched her scalp and said, "Mom, why don't you go to the county seat now? Today is Monday. The Water and Power Bureau usually has a meeting, and Gu Errong and the others should be there."
< br>"Today? It's too late. It's already noon in the county seat."
"Noon is just right, just in time for Gu Errong to treat you to another big meal." Guan Lei said quickly, "Mom, if they don't give you money, just stay in their office and go directly to their boss in the afternoon. They will definitely be afraid."
Zhang Caihe nodded, finally stood up and took a photo I patted the dirt on my butt and put on my straw hat.
She looked around for a moment, and then asked: "What are Zhao Yang's parents doing? When will they come back?"
"His father went to the fields, and his mother and him My sister is going to the market. Mom, please go quickly, otherwise you will miss the bus.”
Zhang Caihe suddenly said: “They should kill the pig during the Chinese New Year, please dig me a bowl of pork.”
Guan Lei was a little hesitant.
She also knew that Zhao Yang and his family did have a small vat of sliced bacon, but pork was usually solidified into lumps. If you dig a bowl, you can quickly see the traces.
But she couldn't refuse directly. She was afraid that her mother would think she had no status in the Zhao family, so she said, "Mom, aren't you going to the county town? It's not convenient to hold pork. Wait until next time." I’ll give it to you when you get back to our house.”
"It's okay, I have a box here, you can put it in this."
As he said that, Zhang Caihe took out an empty plastic box with a lid from the cloth bag.
"Okay, then I'll help you put it in it."
"You don't have much strength, I'll make the jar myself." With that said, Zhang Caihe had already walked to the kitchen.
She dug hard in the pork jar, wanting to dig out all the pork.
After loading the pork, she pulled out the vegetable basket under the chopping board, grabbed two large handfuls of peppers and cowpeas, and said, "The vegetables bought in this county have a different taste. Zhao Yang gave them last time I had some, and after I fried it, I basically let Xiaojie eat it alone."
Guan Lei wanted to say that Zhao Yang was not in the county town recently, and they didn't buy food in the county town anymore, and the food at home was all gone. It is picked from the home field.
But she didn’t say that she would rather let her mother think that their family was rich and wealthy.
After finally sending Zhang Caihe out, Guan Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly bolted the door, her heart pounding like a mess.
Alas, today’s incident, I don’t know if it breaks the old yin and yang rules.
If the rule is broken, will it affect the fetus in her belly?
She couldn't help but touch her belly and comfort herself: her mother is not an outsider, so she should be fine. Besides, didn't Old Yin Yang say that day that he had become a son?
She ran to the kitchen, opened the lid of the pork jar, took a look, and smoothed the surface with a shovel to ensure that it would not be seen, and then returned to the house.
After finally cutting out a rough shape based on his own clothes, there was a knock on the door outside.
