Lou's mother heard Yi Chuanzong's voice and shouted loudly in the room.
Lou Xiao'e then put away the ferocious expression on her face and thought to herself, "Yi Chuanzong, you said I'm ugly again, just wait for me!" She turned around and opened the door, "Mom, it's me, I'm back!
"
Lou's mother was surprised when Lou Xiao'e walked in the door.
I used to carry a baggage back to my parents' house in my hand, but it was always carried sideways and heavy with my right hand. This time, I held it with both hands. It seemed that I was in a good mood?
Have the two reconciled?
She asked curiously: "Xiao'e, why are you back?"
Lou Xiao'e said naturally: "Mom, I want to divorce Xu Damao!"
"What? Divorce!"
Lou's mother looked very shocked. She went home and asked Lou's father to arrange work. She was wearing a small suit. She looked in front of the mirror for a long time and looked very happy.
The old couple thought that Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao had reconciled, so why did they suddenly get divorced? Isn't work meant to bring the two of them closer together?
Lou Xiao'e looked at Lou's father walking out from the side and shouted, "Dad!"
Lou's father asked with confusion on his face: "What's wrong with you? Why did you get divorced all of a sudden?"
Lou Xiao'e said very calmly: "Actually, Xu Damao won't be able to do anything after I go back. He is not a man, and I can't get along with him." She jumped up and down the stairs, "I'll put my things down first.
, I’ll tell you later.”
Lou's father's eyes immediately stared out, "Oh no? He's not a man?" He felt a little chilly in his heart.
Lou's mother was also stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "That Xu Damao must be messing around again. He is infected with the disease. I'll go up and ask what's going on."
Father Lou said with a sullen face: "You piece of shit, if what my daughter said is true, I have to deal with him!"
Lou's mother nodded and walked quickly upstairs, arriving at Lou Xiao'e's room in a few steps.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e was packing her things and humming songs, looking very happy.
Lou's mother was confused. It didn't look like a divorce, but why did it look like a marriage?
"Daughter, what on earth is going on?"
"It's nothing. He's not a man. I won't be with him. It's that simple."
Lou Xiao'e didn't want to explain too much, so she casually responded with what she said in the courtyard, and then remembered something.
"By the way, Mom, I brought back your mutton-fat white jade bracelet and put it in the box on the table."
Lou's mother's eyelids twitched. She had brought back the dowry, so the marriage must have been divorced. Then Xu Damao really made himself miserable?
She wanted to comfort Lou Xiao'e, but when she saw Lou Xiao'e's innocent look that day, she always felt very weird. It didn't look like she needed someone to comfort her.
Turning around and walking towards the table, Lou's mother gently opened the small red sandalwood box. There was also a jewelry box inside for the bracelet.
Opening it again, Lou's mother saw a shiny bracelet that was pure white without a trace of impurities inside. She reached out and stroked the bracelet like oil, feeling a familiar delicate and moist feeling.
While touching the bracelet, Lou's mother turned to look at Lou Xiao'e from time to time. She felt weird no matter how she looked at it.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e was holding a beige top and gesturing on her body, "Mom, do you think I can cook in this dress?"
When Lou's mother heard this, her eyelids twitched again. Her daughter had not been able to cook since she was a child, and she still can't cook now. Why did she suddenly want to learn to cook?
"Mom, I'm asking you a question!" Lou Xiao'e shouted dissatisfied and coquettishly.
"This color gets dirty easily and is not suitable for wearing when cooking."
Lou's mother replied casually, walked slowly to Lou Xiao'e, looked at her daughter who was constantly gesturing with her clothes over there, and asked hesitantly: "Xiao'e, do you have someone you like?"
Lou Xiao'e's movements suddenly froze. Did she say something? She didn't seem to have said it, right?
When Lou's mother saw her reaction, she felt like a mirror. Before, it was just a guess, but now she is sure.
Lou's mother hurriedly walked towards the door. This action frightened Lou Xiao'e. Did she want to talk to Lou's father about this?
She was beaten because of this incident that time, and the old couple had met Yi Chuanzong.
If it were known that she decided to divorce because she liked someone else, even if Xu Damao was not good enough and the marriage could be successful, Father Lou would probably not agree to her being with Yi Chuanzong.
She quickly threw her clothes away and hugged Lou's mother's waist, "Mom, can you please don't tell dad now?"
Lou's mother stood dignified and solemnly with her hands folded in front of her belly. She lowered her head and looked down at Lou Xiao'e's face.
My daughter has always had a strong temper and rarely asks for help. Now she looks like a child begging. It seems that she has met someone she really likes.
But Lou's mother was a little angry. Lou Xiao'e had been stubborn and bad-tempered since she was a child, and her temper had not changed at all even after marrying Xu Damao.
What kind of person can make his daughter stick to him upside down? He looks so unsatisfactory now!
She said with a serious face: "Tell me who he is! What does he do?"
Lou Xiao'e lowered her head in embarrassment, shook Lou's mother's arm and shouted sweetly: "Mom, his status is a bit special, don't tell dad yet."
Lou's mother frowned. She has a special status. She looked at her daughter's well-behaved appearance. She hadn't seen her daughter in two years. How could she be so coquettish?
She said angrily: "I'm going to close the door."
Lou Xiao'e trotted to the door. When she saw that no one was outside, she quickly closed and locked the door. Then she turned back to Lou's mother and hugged her arm again.
She and Yi Chuanzong were getting married in only two months. She would definitely not be able to hide this from her mother. She could only whisper in Lou Mu's ear: "He is a person from the courtyard where I was staying before."
"In your yard?"
Lou's mother's eyes suddenly widened. She couldn't believe what she heard. She thought that the person who fascinated her woman like this was some kind of young talent, but she didn't expect that he was from a courtyard house?
She had never heard of any capable people in the courtyard, "You said he just came here, what does he do?"
Lou Xiao'e said happily: "He is a fourth-level fitter in the factory, and he has been in the factory for less than a month. Do you know how good he is? The fastest promotion in our factory took more than half a year!..."
"I know!" Lou's mother rolled her eyes, looking like she didn't know she was already married!
"You know?" Lou Xiao'e suppressed the joy in her heart. She was the one who broadcast the announcement of Yi Chuanzong's promotion.
Lou's mother glanced at her, why didn't this daughter look so smart?
After all, she is also the wife of the director in the factory, and she knows the technical level of the workers quite well.
It is indeed unprecedented to be promoted to the fourth level of fitter in one month. His talent and intelligence are also superhuman. This made Lou's mother a little curious, "He is a college student who just came to the factory?"
In her impression, only those college students have improved their technical level faster and have stronger ability to learn and accept new things. If they stay in the workshop and are in good physical condition, they can hope to become a level four fitter.
After all, you are proficient in theory and familiar with mechanical principles. As long as you dare to do it and are not handicapped, you can practice well.
Then she asked doubtfully: "I remember that the residence assigned to college students is not where?"
Lou Xiao'e's face became a little weird. She was thinking about how to praise Yi Chuanzong so that her mother would accept it. But when she thought of Yi Chuanzong's cultural level, she remembered the first time they met, when Yi Chuanzong said she was a fool.
The big white goose inside.
So she said vaguely: "You will know his cultural level when you meet and chat with him!"
She felt that Yi Chuanzong's speech was quite normal and she could not tell that he was an illiterate person in the village. Now she could only fool her mother first.
…
"What?"
"It's him?"
"no!"
Lou's mother's voice was much higher, directly expressing her disapproval of the two of them being together!
After being questioned for a while, Lou Xiaoe finally revealed the identity of Yi Chuanzong. After all, one of the parents in the family had to support her, and then she would have to work for the other one, so she could only go to Lou's mother.
But she didn't expect Lou's mother to be so determined.
Lou Xiao'e quickly asked: "Mom, why is this?"
Lou's mother frowned, "It's not like you don't know your dad's temper. If it's anyone else, but not this person, your dad has a bad impression of him. He was beaten last time, how could he agree to it?"
?”
She beat...that was the first time Lou's father was beaten.
Father Lou had never been beaten before when he was the son-in-law, but when he reached middle age, he could not escape and was beaten by his mother-in-law. How could he feel happy about this?
After all, it is about family status.
Later, Lou's mother also comforted him for several days, serving him, and being submissive. Only then did Lou's father feel at ease.
Lou Xiao'e became worried. Her temper just followed her father's. What should she do if her father disagreed with their marriage?
Focusing on Lou's mother again, Lou Xiao'e said coquettishly: "Mom, I like him!"
Lou's mother frowned and did not let go. She knew her daughter, Mo Ruomu, even if she didn't say it, but she also didn't like Yi Chuanzong in her heart.
The two had dinner together half a month ago, and they had no plans to divorce at that time. She felt that her daughter had been cheated! The more Lou Xiao'e couldn't let go, the more worried she became.
When Lou Xiaoe saw that her mother also disagreed, she cried sadly, "Mom, I have heard about your marriage before. Can you let me choose this time? I really like him."
Lou's mother's eyes flickered from side to side, her face full of tangled expressions. Looking at Lou Xiao'e's sad look, how similar was it to half a month ago?
If we really want to stop the two of them, my daughter will remember it for the rest of her life.
She was in a daze, gritted her teeth and scolded: "Stop crying, I'll try my best to help you convince your dad." Seeing Lou Xiao'e's expression of tears turning into laughter, she became more and more uneasy, "Don't be happy either.
It's too early. I'll go check it out when you two meet in the future." She was still afraid that her daughter would be deceived.
Lou Xiao'e said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, what do you look like when we go on a date?"
Lou's mother glanced at her and glared, "I'm your mother, you still don't let me see people? Do you still want me to help?"
Lou Xiao'e did not dare to refute anymore and asked instead: "I asked him to wait three days before letting the matchmaker come to our house. When will you go and talk to Dad?"
Lou's mother turned around and glared at her, "Fortunately, you still know how to wait a few days. I don't know if you look like this and think you will get married directly tomorrow!"
Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and said nothing. She originally wanted to get married soon, otherwise she wouldn't be able to knock on Yi Chuanzong's door directly.
Lou's mother nodded Lou Xiao'e's forehead and scolded: "When you get divorced tomorrow, stay at home and don't go out unless you have nothing to do. Wait until I comfort your dad, otherwise he will definitely not agree when he sees you like this!"
Lou Xiao'e nodded her head in agreement, feeling a little regretful in her heart. When the two of them had just expressed their true love, they had to wait several days before they could meet.
Seeing her daughter's distracted look, Lou's mother really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
For the first time, she felt that there were fewer daughters to teach, not to discipline, but to impart some experience. She is such an adult and a married woman, why do she look so stupid?
"Have you eaten today?"
Lou Xiao'e responded casually: "I've eaten before getting off work."
Lou's mother nodded and walked out the door. After solving this problem here, there was an old stubborn donkey outside. She had to think carefully about what to say today.
…
Night comes quietly.
The front yard, middle yard and backyard are all peaceful.
Yi Chuanzong did not tell the first uncle and the first aunt about this matter today. He would wait until Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e divorced before talking about it, otherwise the old couple would definitely not be able to sleep.
The night wind came, and there was a creaking sound from the backyard. The door of the west wing swayed back and forth in the wind. Xu Damao did not come back since he left in the evening.
At this time, he was wandering on the street of Nanluoguxiang. He was holding a wine bottle in his left hand and staggering every step he took.
Xu Damao had been drinking in a state-owned restaurant from the evening until the restaurant closed and he was kicked out.
Although he looks sloppy now, this is the only time he has not been drunk. He still has things to do tonight.
Walking along the alley of Nanluogu Lane, we soon arrived at Di'anmen Street.
There was already a blaze of lights near the back door, but these lights were very misty and did not look very bright from a distance. There were only clusters of flames floating in the air.
The black market, this is his destination.
Xu Damao grew up here, and he occasionally went out on the street at night. Ever since he got to know this place, he has also resold things here, but he was surrounded and intimidated not long after he started working.
He is not short of this small amount of money and has other ways to make money. Of course, he will not conflict with these black market people. He has always been timid when facing things that endanger his own safety.
Although he could no longer do business here, he was fortunate enough to get to know the people who were in charge of the black market. Usually when he got things from the countryside, he would let these people handle it, so the two sides had some friendship.
Walking into a kerosene lamp, Xu Damao squinted his eyes and looked at it, then continued walking forward. There were no fixed stalls in this ghost market. He had to look at each stall to find someone.
He was lucky and found his partner at the first few stalls.
He was a young man who looked a little strong. He had a small crew cut and looked to be a few years older than Xu Damao.
Compared to most of the people here who were simply dressed, he looked very upright in youth clothes, and the stall in front of him had a lot of bills, the most bizarre of which was the kerosene lamp.
Other stalls have a small desktop kerosene lamp on top, but the kerosene lamp here looks like a small lantern. There is a long stick on top of the kerosene lamp. It is a kerosene lamp with a handle.
At this time, the young man behind the stall was touching the handle of the kerosene lamp with one hand, looking down at the receipt in front of him, as if he was in meditation.
When Xu Damao saw this person, his face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, and he greeted, "Hey, Brother Nie, it's not easy to find you here!"
Nie Tongsheng raised his head, took a closer look and recognized it. He couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "It turns out to be Brother Damao. Don't you usually ask Xiao Wu to deal with things? Why did you come to me today?"
"
The smile on Xu Damao's face did not diminish, and he complimented: "Look what you said, you are the master of our area, won't everyone I look for be under your control?"
But there was something strange in his heart. We haven't seen him for a while. How did this person learn to put on makeup? His face was black and blue. Could it be a special disguise?
Why does it feel like being beaten?
The more Xu Damao looked at him, the more he looked like he had been beaten. He was secretly alert in his heart. This man in the black market was really dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that they met each other at night and their faces were relatively dark, he would not have been able to recognize them just by looking at their faces.
