Chapter 1101. Ru Hais new work Trivial Affairs of the Zhao Family
After dinner, the Zhao family huddled in the east room to watch TV until ten o'clock, when they all went back to their homes with unfinished business.
This is because the Li family has something to do tomorrow and they need help from these families, otherwise they will have to watch snowflakes appear on the TV.
The diners left, and Wang Meilan, Zhao Chun, Hu Sanmei, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Xiao Lingdang continued to watch TV under the covers.
They all lay down. Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai couldn't stay for a long time, so they went back to the west room to sleep.
It's late at night and no one is quiet.
The Li family came back to the next door after leaving Zhao's house, but they didn't lie down when they got home. Jin Xiaomei prepared the clothes for the family of four for tomorrow, while Li Dayong and Li Baoyu boiled water in the outer room.
Tomorrow is Li Baoyu's big day. The Li family is a little excited and a little nervous. But fortunately, Li Ruhai, the only one who might be able to poke trouble, has no chance to participate in tomorrow's event. The Li family is still looking forward to more.
With those families helping to prepare the banquet, the Li family does not worry about food and drink. They are just preparing to use the best spirit to welcome the arrival of the Liu family tomorrow.
The clothes are all ready, and the four people are ready to clean up their personal hygiene. Bathing and washing hair are troublesome these days. It is better for Li Dayong and Li Baoyu to have short hair, but it is difficult for Jin Xiaomei and Li Xiaoqiao to have long hair. Especially Jin
Xiaomei, she hangs out with Wang Meilan, and it’s like making a big banquet every day, so her hair will inevitably smell like oil smoke.
There are no hair dryers these days. Jin Xiaomei was afraid that her hair would not be dry if she washed her hair tomorrow morning. So she washed it tonight. After washing, she packed a towel and lay down on the kang. After sleeping, her hair would be dry.
In a family of four, Li Xiaoqiao washed first. She used the shampoo bought by Zhao Jun to rub her hair. After rubbing her hair, the little girl hunched over and was carried aside by Li Baoyu, who used warm water to rinse Li Xiaoqiao's hair.
"Oops!" Li Baoyu couldn't help but exclaimed as the warm water was poured on Li Xiaoqiao's hair, "This thing works so well, it's all clean as soon as you rinse it."
Of course, the shampoo is much stronger than the stinky rice water or the hoarfrost in the sauerkraut vat. Once rinsed with warm water, your hair will smell fragrant.
Jin Xiaomei, who was about to wash her hair, came over to take a look, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss!" At this time, Li Dayong told Li Baoyu: "Wipe your sister's hair, and wrap the handkerchief when you're done!"
"Hey!" Li Baoyu responded. After rinsing the shampoo foam from Li Xiaoqiao's hair, he patiently wiped Li Xiaoqiao's head with a hand towel to dry as much water as possible.
When Li Xiaoqiao's hair stopped dripping, Li Baoyu wrapped Li Xiaoqiao in a dry towel, and then took his sister into the east room.
After entering the house, Li Xiaoqiao stood in front of the mirror, looked at her appearance and couldn't help complaining: "My dad, my mom works in the fields just like this."
"Hahaha." Li Baoyu smiled when he heard this and teased his sister: "Sister, in the spring of spring, you should go farming with your parents."
"I'm not going." Li Xiaoqiao shook his head and said, "That would be very tiring."
"Let's start from elementary school." Li Baoyu said with a smile: "When you grow up and marry someone else, how can you not work in the field?"
"I'm looking for a family with no land..." Li Xiaoqiao was just halfway through her words when she denied what she just said and shook her head: "That won't work either. The family has no land. How can you be poor?"
"Hahaha..." As soon as Li Xiaoqiao said this, not only Li Baoyu laughed, but also Jin Xiaomei who was washing her hair in the outer room and Li Dayong who was waiting on his wife.
At this time, Li Xiaoqiao was in a dilemma. If the person she marries in the future has land in her family, she will have to work in the fields; if her family does not have land, she will be a hooligan.
When he was in trouble, Li Xiaoqiao suddenly thought of his little brother. Before Li Ruhai joined the work, he took care of her more often. Li Ruhai also kept his mouth open. No matter how childish the little girl said, Li Ruhai would not let the words fall to the floor.
.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqiao missed Li Ruhai a little.
"Brother!" Li Xiaoqiao asked Li Baoyu beside him: "If you are going to celebrate with your sister-in-law tomorrow, will my little brother really not come back?"
Hearing Li Xiaoqiao mention Li Ruhai, the smile on Li Baoyu's face froze. Even though Li Baoyu was a tall man, he really didn't understand anything in that regard. To this day, Li Baoyu doesn't know what mistake Li Ruhai made. Dad
Why didn't mother let him come back?
Although the two brothers always fight and fight, they are brothers after all. Li Ruhai couldn't participate in his big day, which made Li Baoyu feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei outside the house were both smiling. They also wanted to be a neat family, but Li Ruhai was really not a fuel-efficient guy. In such a big scene tomorrow, he couldn't be like Ma Yang.
Just as honest. If that mouth really said anything nonsense, this family would really be embarrassed to see others.
Therefore, Jin Xiaomei also agreed with Li Dayong's decision. The couple now wants to let Li Baoyu marry his daughter-in-law safely. After the family is separated, they will educate Li Ruhai well.
After Jin Xiaomei washed her hair, it was past eleven o'clock, and the family hurriedly went to bed on the kang.
But again, the night is quiet.
It was so late, the lights in the mailroom of Yongan Forestry Farm were still on, and the firewood in the furnace was crackling.
Li Ruhai was dressed neatly and sat in front of the table, with his back to the stove, letting the heat of the fire burn his back.
At this time, Li Ruhai was writing furiously at his desk. He filled two pages of the 400-word page.
After finishing writing, Li Ruhai buckled the pen cap with satisfaction, then pinned the pen on his chest pocket, then picked up the manuscript paper and turned back the previous page.
On the top line of this page, there are five words written in the title: Yongan Bai Li Kui.
…
December 13, 1987, the twenty-third day of the tenth lunar month, Sunday.
Today is the day for Li Baoyu and Liu Mei to celebrate. The lights in Zhao and Li's houses were lit early.
The four members of the Li family were cleaning up the house at home. The Zhao family and his son went over to help and transported the dogs from both families to Zhang Yuanmin's house for temporary storage. It didn't take a while for someone to come, but the dogs barked endlessly, and they couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
.
Zhao Chun and Hu Sanmei cooked at home, and after the meal was ready, the four members of the Li family came over to eat, so that the Li family did not have to open the fire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Meilan, on the other hand, is combing her hair in the mirror. Today she is doing Liu Tiezui's errand. She has to bring the Liu family over first, and then host the ceremony between the two families.
matters.
Just after six o'clock, Zhao Chun and Hu Sanmei put the food on the table. The food was the leftovers from last night that were re-cooked. When Wang Meilan made it, she said that she would eat it as soon as it is re-cooked in the morning, which is convenient and trouble-free.
When the four members of the Li family came over for dinner, Jin Xiaomei asked Zhao Jun: "Jun, my aunt asked them to keep soybean tofu and dried tofu yesterday. I've already given the money. You can go get it later."
.”
"Okay, Auntie." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about that. Just focus on entertaining guests today."
After dinner, the four members of the Li family went home to make final preparations. Zhao Jun put on his cotton-padded jacket and went out. As soon as he came out of the house, Zhao Chun followed him out. But Zhao Chun did not go with him, Zhao Chun wanted to go up.
hut.
The two siblings came out of the courtyard and were about to walk east, when a person walked from a distance from the opposite side, twenty or thirty meters apart.
It's almost the winter solstice, and the days are getting shorter day by day. It's not yet seven o'clock, and the sky is not bright yet. The big lantern that was lit last night went out again. Zhao Jun frowned slightly when he saw the visitor, and said to Zhao Chun beside him: "
Sister, is that my brother-in-law?"
"Huh?" Zhao Chun squinted her eyes and looked. She also felt that the person's appearance, walking posture and feeling to her were very similar to Zhou Jianjun, but Zhao Chun did not think that Zhou Jianjun would come at this time.
"No!" Zhao Chun waved to Zhao Jun, preparing to go to the latrine, and said: "Brother, go back quickly."
As soon as Zhao Chun finished speaking, he heard someone shouting over there: "Chun'er!"
"Huh?" Zhao Chun was startled, raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun on the arm, saying: "It's really your brother-in-law!"
With that said, Zhao Chun ran towards Zhou Jianjun.
The first thing Zhao Chun said when he came to Zhou Jianjun was: "Why are you here?"
Zhao Chun didn't dislike Zhou Jianjun, but because he came so early, Zhao Chun thought there was something wrong at home.
"Huh?" Zhou Jianjun was startled and said, "I'll come to pick you up."
Speaking of this, Zhou Jianjun hurriedly picked up the things he was carrying and said: "There's nothing to buy here, just buy some food."
The last two times he came empty-handed made Zhao Chun unhappy. Just now Zhou Jianjun went to Wang Fu's small shop to buy something.
But Zhao Chun was still not very happy. She laughed dryly and said, "Then why are you here so early?"
"Oh! Don't mention it!" Zhou Jianjun shook his head and said, "Dad called me at three o'clock in the morning and asked me to pick you up."
"Ah..." Upon hearing that it was his father-in-law who had spoken, Zhao Chun clicked his eyes twice and said nothing more.
Zhou Chunming is the head of the family, and he always looks like an elder, so Zhao Chun respects him. At this time, when Zhou Jianjun said that Zhou Chunming asked them to go back, Zhao Chun knew that he might not be able to stay at his parents' house anymore.
"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Jun originally wanted to leave room for his sister and brother-in-law to talk, but looking at the conversation between the two, his sister seemed unhappy, so he walked over.
"Jun! What are you doing?" Zhou Jianjun asked.
"I'm going to get the tofu and dried tofu." Zhao Jun replied, "Today Baoyu and Liu Mei are celebrating, and Aunt Li left the things ordered by the tofu shop for me to pick up."
"Then go ahead!" Zhou Jianjun waved to him and said, "Your sister and I will go into the house first."
"I'm not going into the house." Zhao Chun shook his head and said, "I'm going to the latrine."
Zhou Jianjun: "..."
The brother and sister divided their forces into two groups, and Zhou Jianjun carried his things to Zhao's house.
Entering the yard, Zhou Jianjun felt that something was missing. After thinking for a moment, he realized that all the dogs in the Zhao family's yard were gone. Thinking of the day when Zhao Jun and Ma Ling celebrated, Zhou Jianjun knew that these people were going to do something grand again.
When Zhou Jianjun came in, Hu Sanmei was washing dishes in the outer room. But after she finished washing a bowl, she took a step to the left and went to the east room to watch the TV program.
The Zhao family's TV was turned on early in the morning. Everyone didn't choose, just watched whatever was available. The weather forecast also spread from the capital to the northeast, and even if they didn't report Yong'an, adults and children watched it with gusto.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pulled open from the outside. Hu Sanmei, who was watching TV in the room, asked without turning her head: "How come my daughter is back so soon?"
She mistook Zhou Jianjun for Zhao Chun who went to the latrine.
"Mom!" Zhou Jianjun called Hu Sanmei. Hu Sanmei's eyes widened and she turned her head in surprise. She asked in disbelief: "Why are you here?"
Well, damn, his wife asked the same thing when she saw him for the first time.
"I'm picking you up." When Zhou Jianjun said this, Wang Meilan, who was tying her hair in the room, heard the sound and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Jianjun!" Wang Meilan asked, "Why did you come here so early?"
"Ah... haha." In front of Wang Meilan, Zhou Jianjun didn't say anything about his father waking him up at three in the morning. He just smiled and said: "My father asked me to pick up my mother and the others."
With that said, Zhou Jianjun passed the things in his hand forward and said, "Mom, I'll buy you some food here."
"Ouch! What are you spending this money on?" When Wang Meilan took the things, she was thinking that when her uncle and the others went back, she would pick out a wild boar buried behind the house and bring it back to them.
"Jianjun!" At this time, Zhao Youcai also came out after changing his clothes. Seeing that Zhao Youcai was wearing the oil-stained hemp cotton-padded jacket he usually wears at work, Zhou Jianjun asked quickly: "Dad, why are you wearing this?"
"Isn't this a precious jade?" Zhao Youcai raised his hand and waved it out, saying, "I'm in charge of the spoon today."
"Jianjun!" Hu Sanmei called Zhou Jianjun, and then instructed her son: "Go, go to the warehouse with your father-in-law, take out the pot and other things, and put it on the other one when you're done."
As a son-in-law, Zhou Jianjun is very competent, he is not a lazy man, and it is his own mother who is instigating him at this time.
But at this time, Zhou Jianjun refused with a grimace: "Mom, I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry. Please give me a whole mouthful of rice first."
"Then why don't you eat?" Hu Sanmei asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Hu Sanmei came here, she came to grudge Zhou Jianjun, but there were frozen dumplings and noodles at home. In Hu Sanmei’s opinion, you can just boil those things in a pot of water? This is not good enough.
?
Zhou Jianjun: "..."
"Oh!" Seeing her uncle starving, Wang Meilan quit. She grabbed Zhao Youcai's hand and said, "Hurry up and bring in the dumplings outside. Hold on to the bag in the vat at Nantou. Our Jianjun family is happy.
Eat steamed dumplings, there are big steamed dumplings stuffed with roe deer.”
"Hey!" Zhao Youcai felt that his son-in-law was treating him well, so he agreed without hesitation and walked out.
"Jianjun." Wang Meilan asked Zhou Jianjun to come into the house and said, "Come in and wait for a while. When we're done, let's take a bite first and your dad will prepare something delicious for you at noon."
As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Zhao Chun, who had gone to the latrine, came back. When she entered the room, she asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, what did my dad do in the tank?"
"What else are you doing?" Wang Meilan asked, "Jianjun hasn't eaten yet?"
"Huh?" Zhao Chun looked at his man after hearing this and asked the same question as her mother-in-law: "Why don't you eat?"
Zhou Jianjun twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Chun deeply, and said to Wang Meilan without answering her: "Mom, I'll go into the house first."
After saying that, Zhou Jianjun walked into the east room. With Zhao Hong and Zhao Na calling "brother-in-law" and Xiao Zhongdang calling "uncle", Zhou Jianjun sat on the kang and watched TV with the three little girls.
As the old saying goes, my uncle is a distinguished guest at the door. As a distinguished guest who has not eaten, it is useless for the Zhao family to work for Zhou Jianjun.
But when Zhao Jun and Jie Chen each came back with a big basin, Hu Sanmei, who had entered the room to pick up bowls, said to Zhou Jianjun who had just put down his chopsticks: "Xiao Jun and Jie Xiao'er, they are setting up the net today, you can go with him."
.”
Zhou Jianjun looked at his mother and didn't say a word for a long time.
