Chapter 87 Feeling like a mother


Chapter 87 Feeling like a mother

The Cheng family is next door to the Zhou family, just past the road in front of the Zhou family house. It is also a two-story building. When Sister-in-law Liu returned home, she emptied the bags of grain in the cart on the ground, took the mushrooms into the house, put them on the ground to breathe, and went I picked up tea, bread and rice dumplings and drove to the fields again.

The car passed through the village and drove to the road to the farmland. When it stopped at a place, Sister-in-law Liu picked up the food and walked along the field ridge across several fields to the Cheng family's big field, where she asked the busy people to rest first.

The sun was very strong in the afternoon. People in the fields all wore straw hats and the rice leaves flew out and stuck to people, causing an itchy feeling. Everyone's face was red.

Helping the Cheng family are not only the Zhou family and Zhou Qiufeng, but also Cheng Youde's cousin and his wife, as well as Zhang Ke and Wu's sister-in-law. Zhang Ke's mother is the Cheng family's aunt, and Cheng Youde and Zhang Ke are cousins.

Cheng Youde is also a daughter and a son. She went to college and did not come back during the summer vacation. She went to work during the summer vacation. Including the owner, there were nine people in the field. Everyone finished their work and went to sit around and wipe their faces. , eat something first to replenish your strength.

"I just sent Gu home, and I happened to meet Lele when he came back. Xiao Lele gave me a big turkey tail mushroom, saying that it would be eaten by the elderly in our family."

While talking, Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but praise the girl from the Le family. When Yueqing broke her leg, the Cheng family and the Zhou family lent money to the Le family. Lele was taught by the older generation to be grateful and grateful to the Le family for helping her. He has special respect for the elderly. Even if the older generation of the Lele family has passed away, Xiao Lele still respects the elderly as always.

"Lele has a clear heart. You didn't just know it today." Cheng Youde smiled and answered his wife's words: "Lele was admitted to Qingdao University. I'm still waiting for Yueqing to invite him to drink. I don't know when Yueqing will invite him."


When Zhou Qiufeng heard that Lele was back, her old face became unnaturally hot, and she was extremely proud for a moment. She was now Lele's new mother, and how could she not be happy when someone praised her child.

Sister-in-law Zhou was slightly startled and looked at Zhou Qiufeng secretly. She found that her sister-in-law was snickering. She also has to take care of the fields outside, the vegetables in the garden, and everything else, giving her endless work to do in a day.

Now, Mrs. Zhou also regrets it. If she had known this, she would definitely not dislike her sister-in-law living in her parents' house. With her sister-in-law here, she doesn't have to take care of the housework at all. At most, she can go to the fields and do some work with the men.

Unfortunately, regret is of no use. My sister-in-law has already gone to the Le family, and she really puts the Le family first in everything and no longer cares about the Zhou family's affairs.

Thinking of having to do everything by herself in the future, Mrs. Zhou felt particularly depressed.

Sister-in-law Zhou is in a gloomy mood, Brother Zhou is in high spirits, it’s great that Lele is back, only then will we know that Xiaofeng and Yueqing are married.

Cheng Youde mentioned whether the Le family wanted to invite a drink, and Brother Zhou and the others expressed their opinions unanimously, saying they wanted to have a drink. You must know that Le Yun became the provincial champion, which made Meizijing Village popular, and they went to the streets to buy and sell. When it comes to Meizijing Village, many people in nearby villages say that Meicun is the number one village.

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Liu said again: "Comrade, which university did Zhang Jing go to? When will you invite me for a drink?"

Zhang Ke and his wife were embarrassed. Sister-in-law Wu replied with a blushing face: "The admission letter hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know where we will go. We won't invite you to drink. We are just going to college. There is no need to show off."

Sister-in-law Wu hesitated and hesitated, so Cheng Youde and Brother Zhou guessed that Zhang Jing probably did much worse than Le Yun in the exam. If Zhang Jing did well in the exam, Sister-in-law Wu would definitely publicize and show off everywhere, and it was impossible not to do so. Serving wine will only be done in a grand way to celebrate.

No one tried to expose Zhang Ke and his wife's little tricks. After a short break, everyone took the time to get back to work.

When the glow fills the western sky, busy people also call it a day.

Le Yun cleaned a batch of fungi and some medicinal materials at home and moved them to the second floor to dry them. When the sun was about to set and could not shine on the floor in front of the house, she took the initiative to help the Cheng family harvest the grains and swept the dried grains into Pile, put in woven bags.

She was quick with her hands and feet and cleared the place in less than 20 minutes. The woven bag containing the millet was not tied, allowing it to breathe first. She washed her hands before collecting her own medicinal materials and mushrooms and cooking.

I plugged in the rice cooker and was about to feed the chickens when I heard the beeping sound of a tricycle outside. I knew my dad was back and hurriedly ran to see it.

Lele's father had just come outside after get off work and saw a person popping out. He took a look and smiled from his heart, full of joy: "Lele, little cotton-padded jacket, you are finally home."

His girl had been in the mountains for more than twenty days, and it was just shy of a month. He was almost worried to death. Every time he thought about it, he wanted to beat the child. When he saw the child now, he wanted to teach her a lesson. Her thoughts had long since forgotten, and she was only happy.

"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket misses you so much. Dad, your girl has got something nice again." When Le Yun saw her dad, she jumped over and hugged her dad's arm with a smile. , with an expression of "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly".

"Dad also wants to see the little cotton-padded jacket. Let me see if the little cotton-padded jacket has lost weight. After staying in the mountains for so long, has it been injured in any way? Has it caught a cold or been hungry? The flash flood was so big. Did it scare you... ”

When Dad Le saw the girl, he immediately grabbed her and looked her over, asking her questions one after another without pausing in between.

Leyun's eyes felt hot as she listened to her father's long list of questions. She cooperatively showed him and turned around in a circle: "Your little cotton-padded jacket has not lost weight. It eats delicacies and game every day, and it has grown a little taller." , I have gained some weight, daddy, come home soon, the little cotton-padded jacket has found something delicious.”

"Yeah, let's go home." Dad Le happily agreed, drove around, turned under the eaves of his house, parked the car, stood on the ground with a cane, saw the gate, and suddenly blushed when he thought of his marriage to Zhou Qiufeng.

Le Yun helped her father into the main room. Le Dad saw a lot of mushrooms in the bamboo sieve, including shiitake mushrooms, fungus, phoenix tail mushrooms, chicken foot bones, squash mushrooms, and two groups of turkey tail mushrooms. His eyes were wide open. Boss: "Lele, where did you get so many fungi?"

"I'm so lucky. I took a walk and picked it up on the way back. Dad, let's not talk about that for now. Let's tell your girl what happy events happened in our family. We posted red happy words everywhere and bought new furniture. Isn't that right? Winning a lottery ticket”

"Lele...Oh, Lele, that...that..." Lele's father's old face was so hot that he was so embarrassed to talk about his marriage.

"Dad, is it you who has taken a wife?" Seeing her father blushing, a flash of lightning flashed in Le Yun's mind. Could it be that she guessed it?

She struggled for nearly half a day and had numerous assumptions, but she was finally overturned by herself, leaving only one: Dad is married!

He only posted happy words when he got married, but she was also skeptical. With his father's shy personality, it would be too difficult for him to confess his love to Aunt Feng. If it was said that it was Grandma Zhou's fault, let's open up the topic. , if her father and Aunt Feng are willing to live together, it will not be so soon, at least they will not get married until she comes back.

At this moment, seeing her father's appearance, Le Yun felt that there was a high probability that her father would get rid of the title of single and be promoted to a married person.

"...Hmm." Dad Le was so ashamed that he hummed softly.

"Is the new mother Aunt Feng? Dad, please tell me quickly, right?" Le Yun hugged her father's hand and shook it. The smile emerged from the bottom of her heart and she couldn't even hide it.

"Yes..." Dad Le wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. "Oh, long live dad!" Le Yun hugged her dad excitedly and rested her head on his chest. Dad got married. Finally, she was no longer a motherless child. She also had a complete family. From now on, Dad has a wife, so she can feel at ease when she goes abroad.

Being hugged by the child, Lele's father peeked at the girl shyly. When he saw his little cotton-padded jacket, his eyes narrowed into a line and his mouth opened. The smile was full of joy. He asked sheepishly: "Lele, don't you blame Dad?" ?”

"No wonder, no wonder, although I'm a little sorry that you got married before I came back, but it doesn't matter, my father found a good new mother for me. I have a father and a new mother, and our family is complete."


Lele's father raised his rough hands and touched the girl's head. His eyes suddenly turned red. Lele had no mother since she was a child. She wanted a new mother very much. It was he who made her childhood deprived of maternal love. He wanted to cry, but suddenly he heard Familiar voice: "Brother Lele, is Lele back?"

Whoosh, Lele’s father turned around: “Xiaofeng, Lele is back.”

Le Yun threw herself into her father's arms. She raised her head when she heard the sound and helped her father turn around. She happened to see Aunt Feng arriving at the door. She was holding a straw hat in one hand and a sickle for cutting crops in the other. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and her arms were Wearing sleeves.

"Aunt Feng, no, it's a new mother!" Le Yun threw away her father and ran away like a joy, running towards Zhou Qiufeng.

Hearing the words "new mother", Zhou Qiufeng was nailed to the spot, unable to move any further, looking straight at the approaching little Lele, her nose was sore and the corners of her eyes were warm.

She wanted to cry. Even if she married Yue Qing, she was still worried. She was afraid that Lele would change his mind one day and would despise her as a burden. However, she did not expect that someone would eventually treat her as a treasure and accept her sincerely. Become a new family.

Zhou Qiufeng's heart palpitated, and her eyes almost shed tears. She was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then she was hugged by someone who rushed towards her waist, and her head was thrust into her arms.

Throwing herself into the new mother's arms, Le Yun smiled happily: "New mother, from now on I will still be called Aunt Feng, not mom. Calling me mom will remind me of that heartless and unjust woman. Calling me a new mother will sound strange to outsiders. Like a nanny, even though I can’t call her mom, I still think of Aunt Feng as my mother.”

"Okay, as long as Lele likes it." Zhou Qiufeng swallowed her tears, threw away her straw hat, and patted little Lele's shoulder gently. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling. She was also a mother of a child!

Lele's father, who was thrown away, stood by himself and watched the girl throw herself into Zhou Qiufeng's arms. He couldn't help but be jealous: "Little heartless Lele, you don't want your father when you have a new mother."

"Dad, my new mother is your wife. It's embarrassing to be jealous of your own girl."

"You are right."

"I am right."

Listening to the bickering between the father and daughter, the smile on Zhou Qiufeng's face grew wider and wider. She wanted to pinch the child's face, but was afraid that there would be grain residue on her hands, so she held back her hand and threw away the sickle: "Brother Le will help light the fire. I'll feed the pigs first." , I will kill a chicken later and give Lele some nutrition.”

"Hey, I'll go." Dad Le happily went to the kitchen.

"Don't kill the chickens, I'm not malnourished." Now, she finally knew where the extra chickens, ducks and furniture came from. They were brought by the new mother from the Zhou family.

"Yes, when little Lele is growing, he needs to increase his nutrition appropriately to grow faster. I took the chickens and ducks to sell some, and kept a few to kill and eat."

"Okay, Aunt Feng, take a shower first. The gray ash on your body will make you feel hairy and itchy, making you feel uncomfortable."

Such a simple sentence was extremely heart-warming. Zhou Qiufeng felt a sense of warmth in her eyes, and warm tears rushed out of her eyes. She immediately stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears, and answered with a smile: "...Okay, I'll go first." Take a shower.”

She was afraid that the tiny bits of grass leaves on her body would get onto her child, so she took a step back, licked off her sleeves, and went to the bedroom to find clean clothes. She picked up two buckets of cold water and went to take a shower in a hurry.

Le Yun ran into the kitchen and saw her father sitting on a low stool lighting the fire. A sweet smile appeared on his face that always smiled naively. She moved a bench and sat across from her father, looking at him and laughing fiercely: " Dad, I heard from Aunt Liu that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are helping her family harvest rice. Shall we invite your mother-in-law to come over for dinner tonight?”

"Uh!" Dad Le almost choked when the girl teased him. He pretended to glare like a grown-up parent, but when he saw the child's smiling face that was brighter than a sunflower, he couldn't even pretend to be fierce.

"Zhou Chunmei is back from vacation, and Zhou Tianming is also back. Your grandma Zhou probably wants to provide food for her grandchildren and won't come over."

"You can ask them to come together."

"This... this, let's forget it." Le's father hesitated to object.

"Why?" Le Yun asked a hundred thousand reasons, and then she reacted in an instant: "Does Sister Chunmei have any objections?"

"Well, when Chunmei came back and found out that her aunt and I were living together, she lost her temper and was very dissatisfied with your Aunt Feng. Asking her to come over for dinner will not make your new mother feel wronged."

"I know, I'll send some fungi to Grandma Zhou."

"Okay, go ahead. If Chunmei says anything, don't fight with her again."

Le's father didn't object, because Zhou Chunmei didn't like their family, so they couldn't invite the Zhou family's grandparents and grandchildren to come over for dinner. It was a child's filial piety to send something to the old man, and it was two different things than asking him to come over for dinner.

"Don't worry, I can get things done with noisy, and I usually won't fight with people." Le Yun chuckled to herself and rushed out of the kitchen like flying.

Lele's father wiped his hands with cold sweat. Is Lele planning to quarrel with Zhou Chunmei? He originally wanted to persuade Xiao Mianjiao to hold back his anger and not cause trouble, but then he thought about it, well, let Lele go. If there was a fight, it would be better to let Lele help Xiaofeng vent his anger.
