Chapter 183 Conversation
"Let me tell you, forget it. Qingwen has gone to see her before. My daughter is living a good life now. You have also seen the photos that were mailed back the last two times."
Wang Cunye smacked the cigarette rod and raised his head to glance at his mother-in-law: "You said that you had to droop your face, which made Su Su unhappy. My son-in-law was also unhappy. It was the first time that my daughter came home. Don't let your mother-in-law fall behind in the end and become a human being inside and outside..."
"Oh, I am not a human being inside and outside?"
When Gao Xiulan heard this? These words became urgent: "Didn't you pick it? Now you're talking about me again. Before getting married, your father-in-law was so kind to him. My mother-in-law also treated him as her own son, and ended up marrying off my daughter. , what has become of this boy?”
"If Qingwen hadn't asked someone to inquire about it, none of us would have known that our daughter was being bullied."
It is true that the eldest son Wang Qingwen asked an old classmate from Changle Township to inquire about Wang Susu's situation.
Wang Qingwen is a middle school teacher, and he also has a good relationship with his classmates who teach at the school in Changle Township. Seeing that his sister doesn’t write letters to home very often, he asked someone to go to Chenwangzhuang to ask, and this is how he inquired. Only then did I realize that Wang Susu was not doing well.
At that time, after the old couple found out, they couldn't sleep all night. Finally, they gritted their teeth in hatred and asked their eldest son to come to their house and start a scene.
It won’t work if we don’t make trouble. My daughter will marry far away and my family won’t be tough. Hard times are still to come.
This is the case now even if I return home for the first time.
You have to say a few words to him.
There is no way around this kind of thing, so she, the mother-in-law, has to be the bad guy and lose her temper.
The girl was wronged by her husband’s family.
Why don’t you let your mother’s family say a few words?
Wang Cunye also knew this truth. Hearing what his mother-in-law said, he became silent.
After being silent for a while, he sighed softly: "Oh, Brother Juncai is a very good person. Who knew that this kid in his family would not live up to expectations..."
"But Qingwen He also said that the child's temperament has begun to change now. He knows the Gu family and treats Susu well. "
As he said that, he looked at his eldest son: "Isn't it Qingwen?"
Wang Qingwen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Dad, your vision is not bad. This boy is indeed capable, smart, and quick-witted. In the past, he was too busy thinking about serious things. He fooled around all day long and was spoiled by the talented uncle. It was bad. It has just been corrected. Within half a year, life has become easier.”
"Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you what I said last time when I came back? When we were building a new house, many people from their village came to help. We also made friends in the county and city, and they were all leaders in charge of things. And , when I was about to come back, Susu didn’t say anything, he just asked Zhenzhen to stay, saying that it was convenient to go to school in the county, otherwise our town would never start school, and the baby would be delayed in the blink of an eye in two or three months. "
"Tell me, based on this alone, which son-in-law here can compare?"
After he finished speaking, Su Ligai followed closely and said: "Dad. , Mom, Awen and I are both familiar with each other. Whether the family is doing well or not can be seen from their faces. You can’t hide it from others. You see, Susu is now fatter and whiter. Look at her dewy face. It’s really He is younger and prettier than when he got married. That's it. I can't say that Su Su is enjoying a lot. He must not suffer anymore."
"This son-in-law knows his mistakes and can correct them, and he can make progress and take care of the family. It’s time to be satisfied.”
“Oh, I know, I know everything…”
"I heard what Qingwen said before, and I was actually quite satisfied with it. Don't I just feel sorry for you girls and want to put on airs and support you girls?"
The old lady wiped her tears and sighed again.
"After all, they will live their own lives from now on. I'm afraid that if this bastard changes back to his original state in less than two years, it will still be you girls who will suffer the consequences."
" I can also see that this bastard is capable of success, but if he lacks discipline, he cannot be praised all the time. He needs to be beaten more, so that he will not go astray in the future."
Gao Xiulan rambled, Wang Qingwen and his wife. He nodded in response.
Wang Zhenzhen looked at these people, then at his father, his eyes rolled around, he suddenly smiled mischievously, ran out the door and shouted.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, mother said that she actually doesn't blame you and is satisfied with you. She is just afraid that you will treat your sister badly in the future, so she wants to pretend to scold you."
Good guy. .
Can this be said?
The old lady never expected that her little daughter would suddenly come here. After hearing this, she was stunned, her face changed, and her old face turned red and hot with shame.
"I'll make you a scourge..."
"Did I tell you to say anything? You can do it."
Gao Xiulan held up her palm, wanting to slap but reluctant to do so, and just ran towards her triumphantly. The little daughter who returned to the house gave him a fierce look.
It’s over now. After being exposed by this little girl, all the anger in my heart was vented.
This crazy girl still beats less.
When Wang Qingwen saw his mother getting angry from shame, he and Su Ligai tried their best to hold back their laughter.
They didn’t expect that, despite all their persuasion, they couldn’t stand up to the little sister’s childlike words.
"Humph, who told you to ignore me? I haven't been back for three months, don't you miss me?"
The little girl sat on the threshold shaking her head, shaking her head. Braids, muttering softly.
Wang Cunye glanced at her with a cigarette in his mouth: "Miss you? Your mother wants to beat you."
Just as he said this, Chen Ling and Wang Susu walked into the room.
Although Chen Ling heard the conversation in the house with his ears, he was interrupted by his sister-in-law just now.
But facing two old people, it was still a bit awkward and uncomfortable.
He took Wang Susu's hand, walked to the two elders, and promised seriously and sincerely: "Father, mother, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will never let Susu be wronged again..."
Wang Cunye had also been a son-in-law and knew that this kind of thing should not be taken too far. Going too far is not enough, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Lingzi, this sentence is enough."
"What happened in the past is over, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about how happy you are after traveling such a long way back. Your mother and I have been looking forward to your return for a long time. The houses in the east are all empty for you. Everyone The moon is very clean, I will take you to see it later."
As for Gao Xiulan, who was on the side, she was not angry at all, but she still felt a little embarrassed, so she glanced at her daughter and son-in-law, and said: Be silent.
When Wang Zhenzhen saw it, he ran to the kitchen in the courtyard and came back with a broom.
Hand it to Gao Xiulan: "Mother, here."
"What are you doing?"
"Hit me with this."
"What?"
"Hit my brother-in-law. If you are still angry with your brother-in-law, beat him with a broom."
Little girl With a serious look on his face, he pointed to himself, then to Wang Qingwen and Su Ligai: "If you can't win, there are my brother and sister-in-law. When the second brother and second sister-in-law come back, plus the two of them, we will take over for you." You fight."
"When you and dad get old and have no strength, we will discipline him for you."
Gao Xiulan looked at her little daughter, her expression could no longer be maintained, her face trembled, and she burst out laughing.
Having lost her dignity in front of her children and son-in-law, she couldn't get angry even if she was angry. She pinched her little daughter's face and said angrily: "You are the only one who knows how to tinker. Doesn't it look like you can do it? "
Wang Zhenzhen grinned and raised his little head proudly: "We all stand with my sister. If my brother-in-law treats her badly in the future and makes her angry, so many of us will beat him together. Let’s see if he still dares to bully others.”
Chen Ling couldn’t help but laugh: “You are so powerful, only your sister will bully me in the future, how can I dare to make her angry again”
Wang Susu was both funny and touching at the same time.
This girl can always break the awkwardness between adults by laughing and joking. There really is hers.
"Listen to her nonsense. This ignorant thing has been spoiled by me and your mother."
Wang Cunye stood up, pulled Chen Ling out, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Let's go get some drinks. It's five o'clock and it's getting late. Come back and have a drink with your brother."
"Hey"
Chen Ling responded quickly. , followed happily.
I was also greatly relieved.
My father-in-law is actually a soft-hearted person, very kind and righteous. Chen Ling's father once said that this old brother had a bad temper with him.
It’s just that he is too upright and kind, has no tactful thoughts, never plays tricks on others, and always likes to talk about old principles. I can’t help but say that others are unkind. Justice, sometimes you would rather suffer a loss yourself, but you should also try your best to help this person and that person, and pay attention to loyalty.
Now that I am getting older, I am much better. When I left the house, I pointed at each household in the village and introduced it to Chen Ling, including my second uncle, old uncle and so on. I also asked Chen Ling if he would not come in two years. Asked if he could remember where Wang Qingwen’s home was, he pulled him up and pointed it out to him.
The two men walked around the village and came back after drinking.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law still live in the old house from many years ago. The main house is also a bluestone tiled house, but it has aged and looks shabby. The kitchen is a firewood shed, the warehouse and firewood shed are all Thatched house.
The yard is an earthen yard. It is padded with soil in a flat place and rolled very flat.
There are two or three old trees in the courtyard, as well as a chicken coop and a pigsty.
At this time, the little white cow was tied to the tree in the south. Wang Susu accompanied Gao Xiulan and her sister-in-law to unpack the package next to the tree.
"This is my baggage, this is my sister and brother-in-law's baggage, this white bag contains chickens and ducks, these two yellow bags are for little wild boars, mother, look, I hit them twice, they are still humming. Humming..."
Wang Zhenzhen led his little nephew to stand in front and pointed, then patted the little wild boar in the yellow snakeskin bag. When the little wild boar inside struggled and screamed, he immediately smiled and said to him. Gao Xiulan showed off.
"My brother-in-law raised this little wild boar. No one in their village can feed such a small wild boar cub, but my brother-in-law can. My brother-in-law is amazing. He can even raise a little rabbit without opening its eyes." , I heard Liu Nier said that he would feed cat milk to the little rabbit, but others could not..."
"Really, sister?"
Wang Susu smiled and nodded, "Yes, your brother-in-law. He can raise anything, he has loved doing this since he was a child.”
Gao Xiulan listened to the words of her two daughters. Although she was satisfied that her son-in-law could bring so many things, she also felt sorry for her eldest daughter when she looked at the pile of things: "The road is difficult to walk, why bring so many things? It's too much." "Trouble, I have food and clothing at home, all prepared for you."
"It's okay, mother, it's not troublesome. My cows are stable and can carry a lot of things."
Wang Susu squatted down and took out two pieces of clothes from the bag, "Mom, look, these are the clothes I brought for you and dad. A Ling asked a friend to buy them from the city. Your and dad's birthdays are coming soon, so it's just right. Wear..."
Two sets of clothes were bought by Chen Ling and Liang Hongyu. One is more festive and the other is more everyday. But regardless of the fabric or style, just one look at it and you can tell that it is not a bargain.
Gao Xiulan couldn't help but scolded after taking a look at it: "Why are you buying clothes? The clothes at home are enough, why should they be bought from the market? It's a waste of money."
Seeing her daughter bring it to her, she touched the fabric and said: "This dress is really good, but it's too fashionable. Your father and I can't wear it."
"Mom, I'll wear this dress after I bought it. , It’s not a foreign thing, that’s what A Ling and I think. If we don’t come back for two years, we just want to be close to you and dad.”
Wang Susu said it sincerely.
But Gao Xiulan curled her lips and smiled, "Mom, I guess you figured it out. You will say a good word for that bastard."
Turned her face and looked at her little daughter again, He glared at her and said: "You too, brother-in-law is long, brother-in-law is short. He is only three months old and is like a puppy. Let your brother-in-law raise him to maturity. When you go home and don't know how to stand by your parents, he will speak for your brother-in-law. .”
As he said this, he was sighing in his heart. This son-in-law is really good now. Not to mention the eldest daughter, even the youngest daughter is fat and plump. Her schooling is taken care of, so there is nothing to criticize.
At this moment, Chen Ling followed his father-in-law and walked into the courtyard carrying wine.
My father-in-law came in and shouted: "Mom, go catch a chicken and kill it. Lingzi, Qingwen, I, and the three of us will have a few drinks tonight."
Gao Xiulan responded. When she was about to get up, Wang Susu hurriedly stopped her and said, "No, no, dad, we brought chickens and ducks with us when we came. That's what I was telling my mother just now..."
"Huh? We also brought chickens. Duck, no wonder it’s so big and small.”
Wang Cunye stepped forward and took a look: "Don't bring so many things with you in the future. As long as you and Ling Zi come back to see us often, your mother and I will be happy. Carrying so many things will bring trouble and the road will be difficult. If you encounter The bad weather is still very dangerous, do you hear me?"
Chen Ling and Wang Susu looked at each other and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Seeing the young couple like this, Gao Xiulan also put down her arrogance and said to her old man: "I just forgot when I heard you shouting. Your son-in-law brought you not only chickens and ducks, but also pigs. Well, yes It’s a half-grown little wild boar. Zhenzhen said that his sister and brother-in-law are going to raise it and give it to you for you to eat.”
Wang Zhenzhen heard this and immediately raised his little hands and shouted: “ My brother-in-law also said on the way that he would make more trips to bring the remaining three little pigs over to his parents.”
Then he turned over the bag and showed his father other things.
"Good guy, what did you do..."
Wang Cunye looked up at Chen Ling in surprise. There were too many things here, including food, clothing, chickens, ducks, and wild boars. It took him a long time. I don’t know what to say at this time. But he really felt his son-in-law's thoughts and was quite moved.
"Dad, Aling, stop being stunned. Pick the two fatter ones from the chickens and ducks and kill them. It's getting late."
Wang Susu untied the snakeskin bag, Let the chickens and ducks out.
After hearing this, Chen Ling released the little wild boar, and his father-in-law and uncle also came over to help.
One is killing, the other is killing. This little wild boar has been raised for two months and weighs less than fifty pounds. It is the time when the meat is tender. Of course, it is better for the daughter to have a hearty first meal when she returns to her parents' home after marriage.
At this time, no one said anything about the price of meat. What I want today is to be happy. What I want is to eat well and drink well so that my daughter can live happily for a few days.
"Lingzi is quite capable. The yellow stripes on this pig have not faded yet. It is indeed the right time to eat. You can really feed it since childhood."
Wang Cunye saw two bundles The little wild boar, with its hooves tied and its muzzle bound, grunting and struggling, praised.
Wang Qingwen picked out a chicken and duck, "Yes, dad, you don't know, Lingzi is now a veterinarian in their hometown. He has been interested in this field since he was a child."
The father-in-law was very surprised when he heard this. It turned out that this son-in-law was really quite capable.
The three men were laughing and talking, killing the chickens and ducks, and then the pigs.
Wang Zhenzhen ran around with his little nephew and fed the dog with some minced meat and offal.
They were laughing and having fun.
The adults were also very happy, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere quickly became lively. This scene made Gao Xiulan rub her red eyes and sigh, saying that the house had not been so lively for a long time, so they would have nothing to do in the future. Just come back a few more times.
Chen Ling and Wang Susu also scored.
Finally, one little wild boar was left, and several chickens and ducks were kept and put into the pen.
When Wang Susu’s second brother and sister-in-law come back, we can have another meal.
Slowly, after the sky turned completely dark, the rich smell of meat also floated out.
My mother-in-law cooked the local specialty "Nine Big Bowls".
The nine bowls are three-roasted, three-steamed, and three-cooked. The ingredients are different, but the methods are similar.
Most of the meat used is chicken, duck, pig and mutton, as well as head and hooves meat. Cow and donkey meat is not included in the banquet. Big animals are expensive and are rarely eaten here.
But what Gao Xiulan cooked today is also very unique, including braised pork, steamed chicken with mushrooms, and roasted pork liver and lungs.
Because it was a bit late, it was marinated and steamed. If there is not enough time, it will not be delicious. Chen Ling asked her mother-in-law how to cook, and then went into the kitchen to help cook a few dishes.
Gao Xiulan refused at first. How could her daughter ask her son-in-law to cook as soon as she returned home.
As a result, Chen Ling tried to cook a dish, but she stopped talking and realized that her eldest son and two daughters were not lying. This son-in-law's cooking skills were indeed high.
My father-in-law was also very satisfied and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Especially the pork belly and large intestine, I don’t know how to cook them, they are so fragrant.
Eating such fragrant dishes and drinking wine made me feel energetic. I clinked glasses with Chen Ling again and again, and my interest had never been higher.
The adults can say that Xiao Tongtong is only four or five years old. He has never eaten such delicious food. He ate it with full stomach. He ate two duck legs one after another and took away a few pieces of oily pork belly. .
Just then, Wang Zhenzhen couldn't stop grabbing the chopsticks and grabbing vegetables. Gao Xiulan and Su Ligai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled, and they quickly snatched the chopsticks away and stopped eating.
The daughter did not come back for two years. At the dinner table, the two elders were very happy, especially after knowing that Wang Susu was two months pregnant. They were even more happy. The mother-in-law drank several glasses of wine.
