When Jin Xiaomei walked in, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were eating noodles with three little girls.
Jin Xiaomei suddenly came, and Wang Meilan was stunned. Didn't she say she wouldn't come to dinner?
But even so, Wang Meilan still greeted Jin Xiaomei and said: "Xiaomei, come and have a bite."
"I won't eat anymore, sister-in-law." Jin Xiaomei stood in the outhouse without going inside.
Because at this time, in the east room, Wang Meilan was eating with a group of children. If Jin Xiaomei wanted to complain, she couldn't do it in front of the children.
"Sister-in-law." Jin Xiaomei called Wang Meilan and said, "Come out and let us two say a few words."
"Ah? Hey!" Wang Meilan knew as soon as she heard that something was wrong with Jin Xiaomei, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
So Wang Meilan immediately put down her chopsticks and winked at Zhao Jun, meaning she asked him to take care of her two sisters.
When Wang Meilan got off the kang, she specifically said to Little Lingdang: "Lingdang, eat more."
After saying that, Wang Meilan quickly came to the outer room, pulled Jin Xiaomei and walked into the west room.
The two sisters entered the west room, and Jin Xiaomei closed the door behind them. Then she and Wang Meilan sat on the edge of the Kang, and told Wang Meilan everything she had heard from Li Xiaoqiao.
"No!" Wang Meilan didn't believe it at first. She waved her hands and said to Jin Xiaomei with a smile: "Your elder brother can't..."
Suddenly, Wang Meilan thought of Zhao Youcai's diligent efforts the night before yesterday and last morning, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this time, Wang Meilan blinked twice, looked at Jin Xiaomei and said, "Can't...?"
At this time, Jin Xiaomei couldn't say anything anymore. She stood up and said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back."
With that said, Jin Xiaomei walked out, and Wang Meilan sent her to the door. Jin Xiaomei opened the door, turned to Wang Meilan when she left the house and said: "Sister-in-law, go back quickly, and eat quickly while it's hot."
Wang Meilan was so angry that she couldn't eat. She stood alone in front of the stove, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window. Wang Meilan's heart was not clear either.
At this time, in the east room of Zhao Jun's house, a small bell holding a big bowl drank the noodle soup in one gulp. Then the little girl put down her chopsticks, pushed the bowl, then pulled her schoolbag to her side, and said to Zhao Jun
: "Uncle Zhao, I'm full. I have to go back. It's going to rain soon."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Lingdang, you must be full!"
"I'm full." Xiao Lingdang smiled and said, "I'll eat a bowl and a half."
"Okay." Zhao Jun also said with a smile: "I won't send you off, so you need to slow down."
"Yeah." The little girl responded, got off the kang, put on her shoes in a proper manner, put on her schoolbag, and picked up the big black umbrella she was leaning on the cabinet, and came to Zhao Jun's side and asked: "
Uncle Zhao, where is the cloth I used to wrap my umbrella?"
"Bu? Ah!" Zhao Jun immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly got off the kang and headed to the west room with the little bell.
The cloth that Xiao Ling Dang is talking about is the black cloth that Zhang Yuanmin used to wrap her umbrella and let Xiao Ling Dang cosplay the heroine.
After Zhao Jun laid down the cloth in the morning, he rolled it into a ball and stuffed it in the gap between the cabinet and the wall of his house. The cloth ball was stuffed to the side and got stuck there.
Zhao Jun pulled out the cloth and handed it to the little bell. At the same time, he asked: "Do I still need to wrap the umbrella?"
When she mentioned this, the little girl's eyebrows were raised in the middle. She whispered: "No need to wrap it, this cloth... my dad still has to keep it... to wrap his pig hook."
"What the hell?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, his eyes widened for a moment, he looked at the little bell and asked anxiously: "Lingdang, what did you say?"
The little girl blushed slightly and explained to Zhao Jun in a low voice: "It's the hook that my dad made on the blacksmith's stove in order to go up the mountain with you to catch wild boars."
"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded. He knew this. That day he and Zhang Yuanmin went to fight a siege. The dog gang held down a cannon egg. Zhang Yuanmin broke off the pig's legs with his bare hands and made the wild boar kick it up.
Then Zhang Yuanmin said that he wanted to build a weapon.
However, Zhao Jun remembered Zhang Yuanmin muttering that the hook seemed to be called a life-threatening hook.
At this time, I heard Xiao Lingdang continue to say: "The little book my dad borrowed from Uncle Li and I was the book "The Romance of the Gods". He saw that there was a magic weapon in it called the Dragon Binding Lock, so he renamed it.
It’s a pig hook.”
The Uncle Li in Little Lingdang's mouth is Li Baoyu. When she went to Lingnan before, Jin Xiaomei bought a set of "The Romance of the Gods" for her father-in-law.
After the Li family finished reading this set of books, they asked Zhang Yuanmin to borrow them.
"Pig-tying hook..." Zhao Jun muttered, turned to ask the little bell: "Which binding is it?"
Little Lingdang couldn't tell which binding it was, so she stood up the big black umbrella to her side and let the handle of the umbrella rest on her body. Then she used her right hand to write on the palm of her left hand.
Zhao Jun understood it at a glance, and thought that it would be better to use a pig hook than to call it a "death hook".
"Bell." At this time, Zhao Jun said to the little bell with some emotion: "My eldest brother is reading books, and it's really not in vain."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingdang suddenly raised her face and said, "If I had known he was like this, I wouldn't have asked my classmates to borrow it for him."
Zhang Yuanmin’s earliest addiction to reading was really cultivated by Xiao Lingdang.
"Hehehe..." Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Little Lingdang pouted beside her and said, "My dad also said he wanted to change my name. It must be said that Zhang Lingling doesn't sound good."
"What?" Hearing Xiao Lingdang's words, Zhao Jun was shocked. This aid to the people read a little book and learned some things, and used them all at home. It was really not a waste at all.
Xiao Lingdang said aggrievedly: "He said he wanted to change my name to Zhang Yunxiao."
Zhao Jun has never seen "The Romance of the Gods" in his two lifetimes. Of the characters in it, he can only know one Nezha. As for Yang Jian, he can only know if you want to say Erlang Shen.
But even if he didn't know who Yunxiao was, when he heard Xiaoling's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think he's looking for someone to take advantage of."
"Yeah!" Xiao Lingdang nodded in agreement. Zhang Yuanmin had no brothers or sisters, so Xiao Lingdang regarded Zhao Jun as her own uncle. If she had anything to do, she wouldn't tell others, but she would tell Zhao Jun.
At this time, Xiao Lingdang said angrily: "If he thinks about changing my name again, I will ask my mother to kill him."
"I think it will work." Zhao Jun smiled and shook out the large piece of black cloth, folded it left and right, then up and down, and then folded it left and right again to form a rectangular piece of cloth.
Zhao Jun stuffed it into his small bell schoolbag and said with a smile: "Bring it back to your dad quickly. We will go up the mountain the day after tomorrow and we will have to use his pig hook."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingdang suddenly remembered something, opened her eyes wide and said to Zhao Jun: "Uncle Zhao, my dad said that the hook he hit was very effective, and I, Mr. Zhao, even praised him."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled and understood what was going on, but he only reached out and touched Lingdang's little head and said nothing more.
At this time, the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, it was getting darker and darker, and there was no light in the house.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingdang hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Uncle Zhao, I have to leave quickly."
"Let's go." At this time, Zhao Jun did not leave the little girl behind, and came out of the West Room with Little Lingdang.
As soon as the two of them came out, they saw Wang Meilan still looking at the sky in the outer room.
"Mr. Zhao." Little Lingdang waved to Wang Meilan obediently and said, "I'm going home."
"Hey." Wang Meilan responded with a smile: "Slow down the bell."
Xiao Lingdang waved to Zhao Jun again, then went out and ran quickly outside the hospital.
"Mom." Seeing Xiao Lingdang leaving, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan: "Hurry up and eat, the noodles will become lumpy after a while."
But Wang Meilan said: "Son, you eat first, I'll go out for a while."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun couldn't help but become a little anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly called Wang Meilan and said: "Mom, the sky is cloudy like this, what are you doing?"
"You eat what you have, and you don't have to worry about me." Wang Meilan left these words and ran out.
Zhao Jun blinked and thought that my mother might have gone to the latrine, so he stopped worrying and went back to eat noodles.
Wang Meilan came out of her home, ran quickly to catch up with Zhang Lingling, who was running ahead, and shouted: "Bell! Bell!"
Little Lingdang heard the sound and turned around to see Wang Meilan. She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what's going on?"
"Lingdang." Wang Meilan came in front of Xiaolingdang and asked straight to the point: "Did you cook the meal for Xiaohong and Xiaona at noon the day before yesterday?"
"The day before yesterday..." Xiao Lingdang recalled the day before yesterday. Wasn't the day before yesterday the day when her father, who had no business, insisted on going hunting in the mountains despite his dissuasion?
So, Xiao Lingdang shook his head and said: "I didn't do it, it was my Mr. Zhao who did it."
"Isn't that right..." Wang Meilan asked again: "Then how did your grandma Li hear Xiaoqiao tell her that it was you who cooked the food?"
"No." Xiao Lingdang smiled and said, "My Master Zhao cooked the vegetables and the steamed buns on the table, so I served them to the table."
"What did you serve to the table?" Wang Meilan frowned and asked again: "What about your Mr. Zhao?"
"I don't know." Xiao Lingdang shook his head and said, "It seems like there is something going on, or maybe someone is looking for it?"
"Ah..." Wang Meilan understood this time and had asked all the questions clearly. She hurriedly said to Xiao Lingdang: "Good boy, come home quickly."
"Well, goodbye, Mrs. Zhao." Xiao Lingdang waved to Wang Meilan and continued to walk quickly.
As they were about to reach home, Xiao Lingdang saw Yang Yufeng.
The mother looked at the sky and it turned gloomy. Her daughter hadn’t come back yet, so she quickly came out to look for her.
In fact, Yang Yufeng also knew that Xiao Lingdang must be eating at Zhao Jun's house. In the past, it would definitely not be possible to eat at other people's houses. But now that the two families are getting along like this, there is no shortage of these two meals. p>
Seeing the little bell running towards her, Yang Yufeng stood on the spot and said with a smile: "Why are you back now?"
Yang Yufeng just asked casually, but through the conversation with Wang Meilan, Xiao Lingdang remembered the scene of Zhang Yuanmin throwing away her hand that day and leaving regardless of her own dissuasion. Then she thought about how her biological father wanted to change her name. The key was to change her name.
It’s so ugly.
So, Xiao Lingdang immediately said to Yang Yufeng: "I'm already halfway there. My wife, Zhao, chased me out and asked me something."
As expected of being number one in the whole grade, the little girl’s answer was quite spot on.
Yang Yufeng was startled when she heard this and asked quickly: "What is your wife Zhao asking you?"
As Xiao Lingdang and Yang Yufeng walked home, they said, "My grandma Zhao asked me if I had heated up the rice for Xiao Hong and the others the day before yesterday."
Speaking of this, Xiao Lingdang also added: "I said yes. I, Mr. Zhao, had nothing to do and was not at home that day."
"Ah?" When Yang Yufeng heard this, she did not delve into the matter of Zhao Youcai's absence at home. But she frowned and thought for a while, then asked Xiao Lingdang: "Then you put food at your Uncle Zhao's house? Just you four children? You
Dad didn’t look for you?”
"No." Xiao Lingdang shook his head and said, "My dad went to fight that day!"
"What?" Yang Yufeng suddenly became anxious. When she arrived at the door of her house, she hurriedly dragged the little bell into the house.
When she got to the back room, Yang Yufeng picked up her daughter and sat the little bell on the edge of the kang. Then she sat aside and asked, "My daughter, you just said that your father didn't stay home. What did he do?" p>
In the past, Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng both called Xiao Lingdang their eldest son. This was a family without a son, just to keep their mouth off.
But since the conditions at home have improved, the couple has discussed having a son. Although Little Lingdang is good, she is still a daughter. When the daughter gets married and does not have a son, the old couple will have a hard time.
Therefore, recently, they no longer call Little Bell their eldest son, but instead call them daughter.
"My dad is out for a siege." When Xiao Lingdang said this, she didn't get stuck at all.
"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, Yang Yufeng let out a sigh of relief, and her eyes became sharper.
"Pa!"
Yang Yufeng suddenly turned her hand and slapped the Kang table, and said loudly: "Tell me about your dad, I will go out for a day and he won't even be able to cook a meal for you."
Yang Yufeng said this, but after she finished speaking, she was no longer so angry after venting her anger. What Zhang Yuanmin did was unreliable, but at least he found a place for his daughter to eat.
But at this time, Xiao Lingdang said again: "Mom, my dad was carrying a gun and went to school to find me. He told me that he would let me go to my Uncle Zhao's house for dinner at noon. I was afraid that he would go to beat up the black blind man, so I wouldn't let him go.
I grabbed his hand, but he didn’t listen.”
"What?" When Yang Yufeng heard this, her heart suddenly became angry again, and she hurriedly asked: "Did your father go to fight the black blind man that day?"
"Then who knows?" Xiao Lingdang said: "I asked him and he said no. Mom, he never tells us the truth!"
After hearing this, Yang Yufeng only said one sentence for a while: "You were waiting for him to come back!"
……
"You were waiting for him to come back!" The same words came from Wang Meilan.
At this time in the west room, Zhao Jun was petting the little lynx and advising Wang Meilan: "Oh my god, don't be angry!"
"Can you not be angry?" Wang Meilan was so angry that her every word was full of anger and said loudly: "Thanks for the bell that day, without the bell, your sister wouldn't even be able to eat!"
Hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun stopped talking. Zhao Hong and Xiao Lingdang are only three years apart, but they are far less established than Xiao Lingdang.
In fact, in rural areas, daughters have to help with household chores since they are very young. But Wang Meilan is different from other mothers. She always says that her daughter will get married and will not be able to be by her side, so she has to take advantage of her.
When you are not married, give me lots of love and care.
Therefore, Zhao Hong, like Li Xiaoqiao, has never done any work at home.
When Zhao Hong came back that day and saw that no one was home, she was so anxious that she was running around inside and outside the house, but she didn't know how to find food for herself.
It's a blessing that there is a little bell, otherwise this child might not be able to be groomed.
The more Wang Meilan talked, the angrier she became. She slapped the kang table, making the little lynx tremble in fright, and then it went straight into Zhao Jun's clothes.
Just listen to Wang Meilan say: "I even bought him a gold hammer. I gave it to him when I came back at night! I still have money, but I won't give him a penny from now on."
At this point, Wang Meilan turned to Zhao Jun and said: "Son, don't give him any money in the future."
