Granny Li personally watched the Zhou family handle the messy matter of Zhou Xialong's ex-wife and ex-father-in-law coming to live together. She also saw the Zhou family's attitude towards Xiao Meng. As long as Xiao Meng didn't do anything stupid, Zhou Xialong and Xiao Meng basically wouldn't.
separate.
Xiaomeng's life-long affairs were secure, and she felt relieved.
What makes people uneasy is Xiaoyan. I wonder what the Lejia girl thinks of Xiaoyan.
Granny Li, who was eager to see the girl from the Le family, waited patiently until 12 o'clock at noon. She had been looking forward to it for a long time and finally saw the golden phoenix of Jiudao.
When she first saw the girl from the Le family, Granny Li felt like she was looking directly at the summer sun at noon in June. Her mind was shaken. For a long time, she couldn't even remember who she was or where she was.
I was so stunned that my whole heart was beating uncontrollably. The Lejia girl was too young!
Xiaoyan showed her pictures of Lejia girls wearing beautiful dresses and combing their hair in ancient times. Looking at the pictures, she felt that the Lejia girls were very small and very dazzling.
However, Miss Le's real person feels more intuitive and shocking.
The Lejia girl was wearing men's clothes, not well-groomed, but she seemed to be carrying the sun's rays, and it felt dazzling when she looked at her.
She hugged her younger brother, who was also wearing a red robe embroidered with flowers and a hat on his head. The two siblings stood at the door, like little suns, and the main room was lit up.
Granny Li stared at the girl in a daze. When Village Chief Zhou introduced her and Miss Le greeted her, she smiled almost mechanically and could not make any other reaction.
Grandma Zhou Man, Grandma Zhang San and other elderly women sat at the same table with Granny Li. They found that when Xiao Lele greeted Granny Li, the elderly people reacted very coldly.
A few people were quite surprised and pretended not to notice. Then Xiao Lele said that Zhou Xingxing was pregnant with the baby. They were so happy that they immediately forgot about Granny Li's previous reaction. All the topics revolved around Zhou Xingxing's pregnancy.
The twins turn.
The Zhou family members were discussing Zhou Xingxing's baby enthusiastically. Grandma Li was also affected by the atmosphere. She recovered from her slowness and looked at the happy Zhou family members. She could hardly get a word in and fell silent.
For Le Xiao, discovering that Zhou Xingxing was pregnant was just a minor incident. She did not forget about business because of this. She carried her brother through the main room and went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
She wanted to let her brother go to Aunt Feng or to stay with Grandpa Man and the others, but the clingy brother refused and insisted on clinging to her like a big wolf dog. She put him on her neck and sat on her neck before washing her hands.
Leshan sat on her sister's neck, holding her sister's head with both hands, grinning like a silly son of a landlord.
After washing the paws, Le Yun took her younger brother to the refrigerator room. She first took out the box containing the pickled pepper chicken feet, then found the crisper box containing the bowl from the shelf, and used the bowl to put the pickled pepper chicken feet.
I packed more than a dozen bowls of chicken feet with pickled peppers, and found out the rice and sea cucumbers. I packed a pack each and placed them on a row of counters with marble countertops in the middle of the refrigerator room before I went out.
The big wolf dog understands human nature and did not follow him to the refrigerator room. Instead, he sat at the door and acted as a doorman. He waited for the little sister to come out and clung to her, acting as a mobile pendant.
Village Chief Zhou grabbed Xiao Lele to sit at his table and took the opportunity to catch her to discuss the education issues of the children in the village during the holidays.
Leshan followed her sister and didn't bother her because she didn't understand. She just held her sister's arm and acted like a quiet and good boy.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, and his wife were preparing to serve the meal when it was almost twelve o'clock, and the three handsome guys from Black Nine and Blue also went downstairs in advance to help.
When the little girl finished her class, the two handsome guys quickly put away the table, replaced it with a local table, placed the brazier, and put the stand on the pot.
It's cold in winter and it's the first month of the year. Every meal takes an hour or two, so hot pot is a must.
Pour water into the pot and put a stand on it. The dishes are all packed in bowls. Put the bowls in the pot and change them one by one after eating. This way, the various dishes will not be mixed together, which will happen after a long time.
Paste pot.
Because there were three gangs of black, nine and blue serving the food, Chen Dalian and others only helped change the table and put the dishes and chopsticks, and then they had nothing to do with them.
Four dishes were served for the first time. The main dish was braised pork ribs soup with seaweed, served with five-spice pork belly, stir-fried pork belly with green peppers, braised pig ears with cold vegetables. The soup bowl containing the pork ribs was as big as a small basin, and the portion was sufficient.
The first round of dishes was served and everyone sat down to eat.
Since there was nothing to do in the first month of the year, Cheng Wu, Zhang Laosan and other elderly people, Liu Lu, Zhang Poluo and others all drank, and it took half an hour to finish the first round of dishes.
The half-year-old children in the South Building of Lejia were not in a hurry and ate slowly.
The second round of dishes was all seafood, and the main dishes of the third round were steamed chicken in lotus leaves and braised whole lamb. The rice was not cooked until the third round of dishes was served.
The fourth round of dishes was the finale. The main dishes were braised camel meat and bad fish, as well as the chicken feet with pickled peppers that everyone was eagerly waiting for.
The pickled pepper chicken feet were the first to be sold out as soon as they were served.
After eating chicken feet with pickled peppers that are good for stomach and digestion, people who were already a little stuffed suddenly felt hungry again, their appetites were whetted, and they ate again and again.
Lunch took two full hours.
We drank wine at noon and no one got drunk.
Brother Zhou and the others were so drunk that their faces were red. After the banquet was over, they quickly cleared the table and brazier, put on a round table, ate melon seeds and fruits, and sat down to chew their teeth.
Le Xiaoxiao only sat down for a short while, then took her brother to wash his hands and brush his teeth, then sent him to the third floor of the south building, letting him move around freely while she went to help the children who brought their homework to the house.
My cousin wants to tutor middle school and high school students with their homework. The Chen family's cousins are all there, and Chen Fengnian also follows as an auditor.
The young and old people who came to Lejia for the first-month meal wanted to play for another half day. However, some people had guests in the evening and only sat for a while before going home one after another. Only a few young people and old people played at Lejia until about four o'clock before going back one after another.
The guests went home in groups, leaving only Grandma Zhou and her family behind. Grandma Li was a little anxious and quietly took her mother-in-law outside the house to whisper.
Grandma Xiaomeng seemed a little distracted in the afternoon, and even pulled herself outside the house. She wanted to say something but looked embarrassed. Grandma Zhou had to take the initiative to ask: "My mother-in-law, what's the matter with you?"
"..." Granny Li looked around and saw that no one was following her. She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I... haven't been able to talk to Miss Le... I want to meet Miss Le."
"What do you mean, you want to see Xiao Lele alone?" Grandma Zhou understood what Granny Li meant. What did she want to do when she saw Lele?
"That's right." Granny Li nodded hurriedly. Her mother-in-law was indeed a smart person and she guessed it right away.
Grandma Zhou understood what Granny Li meant. Granny Li wanted her to come forward to help and take her to meet Xiao Lele alone, or ask her to call Xiao Lele out so that Xiao Lele could meet Granny Li.
Based on her relationship with Lele, it is not difficult for her.
It's just that she doesn't want to.
To be honest, Grandma Zhou is not feeling well inside. Granny Li wants to find Xiao Lele without telling her, and she wants her to take the initiative. It seems that Granny Li also wants her to take the initiative to find Xiao Lele or take him to see her.
Lele, doesn’t this mean that she should rush forward and post it backwards?
I used to think that Grandma Li was a very reasonable person, but why did she have such a messy personality?
Was it because she had too good thoughts and too high demands, or was Granny Li's thoughts hidden so deeply that she had never seen them before?
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she didn't agree and sighed: "My mother-in-law, I can't help with this matter."
After saying this, my mother-in-law looked like she couldn't believe it. She didn't explain why she didn't help. She turned around and walked towards the village road, shouting as she walked: "Qiufeng Yueqing, I'm going back."
Granny Li took her old mother away. Zhou Qiufeng didn't bother to listen to the corner. She packed up the fruit plate on the table in the main room after the guests left. When she heard her mother say that she wanted to go back, she ran out of the house and asked, "Mom, it's already past four o'clock.
Come back after dinner."
"No, I come here every now and then. Master Leshan's friends and Lele's friends from all walks of life rarely come here. With so many people at your house, there is no need to make noise and upset the guests."
Grandma Zhou waved her hand and told her daughter not to leave her alone: "Lele is not at home, Leshan doesn't need you to worry about it, and Lele is back, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. You two are the most laid-back parents in the world. You must be content.
ah.
Lele is going to the capital in a few days, and won't be back until summer vacation. You two should also serve snacks and cook something for Lele that she likes. Don't worry about things in the fields all day long, and focus on living at home.
Throw it to Lele, we are busy with things in the fields, and we won’t be able to catch up for a few days.”
Zhou Qiufeng was a little confused after being lectured by her mother. When did they leave their home to Lele for working in the fields?
I couldn't figure out which one the old mother was referring to, so she could only nod her head: "I know, I know, my child's father and I are at home these days and haven't gone out to do work. Don't worry, Mom, I remember what Lele likes to eat."
"Well, that's fine. You can go about your business and don't worry about us." Grandma Zhou was satisfied, put her hands in her pocket, and walked away.
She had just taken two steps when she heard a voice that was more beautiful than a thrush calling her. She turned around again and saw Xiao Lele coming out of the south building and running towards the north building. There was a big wolf dog at her feet.
.
Le Yun was tutoring her homework in the living room of the south building. After telling a group of half-grown children a question that they thought was a waste of brain cells, Le Yun was about to get some chicken feet as rewards for the children when she heard what Grandma Li and Grandma Zhou said.
She calmed down, and when Grandma Zhou said she wanted to go home, she went to the North Tower. Seeing that Grandma Zhou was really ready to go back, she ran to the door of the North Tower like a joy, hugged Grandma Zhou's arm, and asked with a sweet smile.
: "Grandma Zhou, why are you going home so soon?"
The little cub was like a calf, jumping up and clinging to itself in front of her like a child. Grandma Zhou stretched out a hand from her pocket, covering the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "I've been playing all day, I have to go back and do some activities."
Well, are you done?"
"Well, I've finished explaining the questions to Tianhong and the others. The little cubs performed very well. I'll come over and get some rewards for them."
"You go get your things. I will come over and play when I have free time." Grandma Zhou patted the little boy's little hand and let go of it with a smile.
Judging from Grandma Zhou's heartbeat and blood flow rate, it was known that she was still in a very calm mood. Le Yun felt reassured and nodded with a smile.
Grandma Li felt depressed when she saw that her mother-in-law didn't help and went home directly. Why didn't her mother-in-law even help her with a little help?
She just wanted to talk to Miss Le alone. It was not a problem for her mother-in-law to take her to see Miss Le or tell Miss Le what she meant.
When Aunt Zhou came out, Granny Li was standing aside. The mother and daughter had finished speaking. She was just wondering how to get off the stage when she heard Miss Le's voice.
Granny Li turned around and saw Miss Le appearing. She was filled with love. After Miss Le had spoken a few words with Grandma Zhou, she wanted to enter the house. She couldn't help but become anxious and called out hurriedly: "Miss Le, stay... stay."
Hearing Granny Li speak, Grandma Zhou sighed silently and did not stop, taking the first step on her own.
After the guests left, Brother Zhou also helped his sister and brother-in-law clean up the table and brazier. Hearing that his old mother said she was going home, he thought of helping to clean up before leaving.
Sister-in-law Meng was also helping to pack things. When her sister-in-law went out, she did not stop until she heard her mother-in-law calling Miss Le to stop her. She was slightly startled. What did her mother-in-law call Miss Le?
Brother Zhou heard the sound and stopped.
Because she was not familiar with the children of the Zhou family and other families, Li Xiaoyan did not go to the south building of Lejia. She ate with her mother in the north building of Lejia and also helped her mother.
Mother stopped working, and she also stood and listened, wondering what grandma asked the Le family girl to do.
Le Yun, who was about to enter the main room, stopped when she heard the sound, turned around, and asked with a bright smile: "Grandma Li, what's the matter with you always calling me?"
"This..." Granny Li stopped the person, but hesitated and hesitated: "Miss Le, can you take a step to speak?"
When Brother Zhou heard Grandma Li say that she wanted to "take a step to speak," he felt something was wrong and he couldn't speak out, so he could only bite the bullet and wait for what happened next.
"Grandma Li, you don't need to take a step to talk. If you always have something to ask me, just tell me." Le Yun guessed what Grandma Li wanted to say and pretended not to know, her smile did not change.
Miss Le didn't want to take a step to talk, and Granny Li looked at her mother-in-law, who was almost on the village road, and then at Grandma Zhou and the main room of the Le family who were standing at the door, feeling a little hesitant.
Zhou Qiufeng didn't think much about it before, but now she understood that the topic that Granny Li took her mother away from was also related to what she wanted to say to Lele, so she pretended to be stupid and did not avoid it.
Granny Li didn't say anything, she just hesitated to speak, still wanting to cooperate and talk alone. Le Yun didn't want to cooperate, and smiled flatly: "Grandma Li hasn't thought about it yet, right? Then you can take your time."
Think about it."
"Miss Le!" He signaled repeatedly, but the Le family girl was unwilling to cooperate. Granny Li was forced to do nothing. When she saw that she was about to leave, she had to call her again.
Seeing Miss Le stop again, with a smile on her face, she took two steps and got closer to Miss Le. After struggling for a while, she said embarrassedly: "Miss Le, my granddaughter Xiaoyan is young.
She is ignorant and ignorant. She was wrong that time years ago. I hope Miss Le can forgive her for her ignorance.
Xiaoyan followed her mother to the Zhou family and will live in Meicun forever. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me, Miss Le."
