When it gets dark deep in the mountains, the sun sets outside the mountains.
Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou came back from the fields and saw some boxes and bags in the upper hall. Their mother was picking through them. The couple were wondering, what were they doing?
"Mom, what are you doing?" My mother didn't notice that they were back, so Brother Zhou took the initiative to ask.
"You're back." Grandma Zhou looked up when she heard the sound. When she saw her son, her eyes narrowed with laughter: "Xia Long, let me tell you some good news. Your sister is getting married. I am packing Xiaofeng's things and asking her to take them with her.
The man’s family.”
"ah?"
Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou opened their mouths so big that they could stuff a duck egg in them.
"Mom, are you kidding me? Marriage is a big deal, it's so hasty." After being shocked, Brother Zhou didn't believe it. Xiaofeng had never had any intention of getting married in the past few years, so how could he get married just because he said he was going to get married?
"If you don't believe it, I'll throw it away. Your sister and your brother-in-law will come back tomorrow, and you will know then." Grandma Zhou didn't care whether her son believed it or not. She was happy. After thinking about it, she continued: "Your sister is married, and there is no way she can come back in the future."
I need to help the family. We are short of a laborer and have few manpower. Let’s stop planting Lejia’s fields after planting this season, so as not to cause someone to die from exhaustion every day.”
Sister-in-law Zhou's face suddenly turned green. The Lejia's fields are all good paddy fields and the land is fertile. She only gives a quarter of the grain to the Lejia in a year. The Zhou family grows more grain in the Lejia's fields, so they can produce enough grain every year.
Raising two batches of pigs and several batches of chickens is all income. If you don't plant them, where will you get the food to raise pigs and chickens?
Just when she was about to object, Brother Zhou already answered: "Okay, we can eat enough if we just plant our own fields. I can't leave if there are too many fields. I won't plant so many fields in the future. If the fields are empty, I will go out to farm."
I earn money from work, at least two hundred yuan a day."
Sister-in-law Zhou was so angry that her chest throbbed and hurt. That idiot Zhou Xialong didn't even know how to settle accounts. He could still go out to do some small work even if he was farming the Le family's fields.
"Well, that's what you said. Xiaofeng used to help with the farm work. Xiaofeng got married. From now on, you can take care of the farm work at home. Xiao Liu, I'm too busy and have no time. You can cook the chicken and duck.
I didn’t even feed the piglets.”
"..." Sister-in-law Zhou was so angry that her teeth chattered. She was just about to ask Zhou Xialong to take care of it. When she saw Zhou Xialong looking straight at her, her heart suddenly suddenly jumped. She went to the kitchen angrily and secretly cursed angrily while working.
Mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Brother Zhou pestered my mother to ask about my sister. Grandma Zhou was determined and would never be affected by sugar-coated bullets. No matter how she asked, she always smiled and didn't answer. She only talked to her son about how his sister was married and what she wanted.
Let her take it away.
Unable to find any information, Brother Zhou looked helpless and helpless. Tell me, why did Xiaofeng get married right away?
Compared to Brother Zhou's depression, Dad Le from the Le family across the road was in a very excited mood. He followed Zhou Qiufeng around and went to help. She swept the floor, and he also went to get a broom to do the cleaning. She packed her things, and he also helped.
It was so silly and silly, and Zhou Qiufeng felt helpless and amused.
Since she decided to live with Yueqing, Zhou Qiufeng was not shy. Except for Lele's room, she cleaned all the other rooms, observed and studied them, and knew where to put certain things.
After tidying up the house, she put a happy message on the door. Although she was married for the second time, and even though she had lived with others and had a couple's life before in Yueqing, it was her first time to get married. This marriage was a bit hasty, but it was still a happy event.
When Dad Le saw the words "Double Happiness", he grinned innocently.
Zhou Qiufeng blushed and went to the kitchen to wash and cook rice. She chopped the pig's feet and knuckles she bought and stewed them. Then she went to feed the chickens, heated pig food for the piglets, finished all the housework, and started cooking.
After a lot of work, there were ten kinds of meat and vegetables, divided into two parts and packed. One part was placed on the incense table for the ancestors in the hall, put three cups, lit two red candles, poured wine to pray for the Le family ancestors and Yueqing parents.
Another copy is placed at the entrance of the main hall to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth.
Le's father took Zhou Qiufeng's hand to worship heaven and earth together. When a new daughter-in-law from a rural area comes into her home, she first worships heaven and earth, then offers incense, calls for worship, and then presents her new house. Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng have saved the complicated rituals and kept everything simple. They still have to offer sacrifices that night.
of heaven and earth and of our ancestors.
First, he offered sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, burned gold and paper money, and then offered incense to the Lele family, making three respectful bows. The corners of Lele's father's eyes were wet. He and Lele's mother failed to get married, and his parents did not see their son.
Daughter-in-law, today he married his wife, and the two parents finally have a daughter-in-law.
After burning paper money in front of the incense table and waiting for the ashes to extinguish, Zhou Qiufeng collected the bowls and chopsticks and took them back to the kitchen to reheat them. Leba closed the door and set the table.
The food was quickly served, and a newlywed couple sat down to eat. Zhou Qiufeng bought back a bottle of red wine, and the two of them poured a glass and drank slowly. At first, they were a little shy and didn't know what to say, and they were a little embarrassed.
Dad Le was at a loss and helped Zhou Qiufeng pick up vegetables with a red face: "Xiaofeng, eat more, you have worked hard... you have worked hard."
Phew, Zhou Qiufeng couldn't help laughing, and helped Yue Qing pick up a chopstick: "Brother Le, you should also eat more."
Dad Le's face was as red as a monkey's butt. He lowered his head and ate. After a few bites, he secretly looked at Zhou Qiufeng, like a child who had done something wrong.
Zhou Qiufeng didn't laugh at him, but thoughtfully helped him pick up the food. She picked up a chopstick, and he picked up a chopstick for her. You came and I went back and forth without any awkwardness. It was very warm.
It took about forty minutes to finish the meal. Zhou Qiufeng let Yueqing rest while he cleaned the table, kitchen, and washed the dishes. He also helped Yueqing boil the bath water and carry it to the bathroom at the back, treating the man like an uncle.
Dad Le blushed and went to take a warm bath to cool off. Since he was lame, he broke the jar at first and took a cold bath. Later, he became rheumatism. His leg hurt badly when it was rainy or cold. He suffered a lot, but he also made progress.
Yes, even in summer, I take a shower with warm water.
After he finished taking a shower, Zhou Qiufeng went to take a shower. She directly changed into a pair of short-sleeved pajamas. When she returned to the main room, she saw Yue Qing with a fever. She quickly went to wash the clothes. After washing their clothes, she took them to the second floor to dry them.
Go downstairs.
When Dad Le saw Zhou Qiufeng coming down, he asked stupidly: "Xiaofeng, do you want to watch TV or go to bed now?"
With her face feeling hot, Zhou Qiufeng lowered her head and sat next to Yue Qing. The two of them watched TV for a while, but neither of them watched it. At half past nine, they went to bed.
Both of them were embarrassed. Le's father was still wearing his shirt, so he lay down and moved inside. Zhou Qiufeng hesitated, turned off the light, and lay down too. His heartbeat was extremely fast.
Dad Le's heart was beating so fast that he quietly moved in. Zhou Qiufeng quietly moved in a little more. He rubbed in again, and she leaned in a little more. Repeated three or four times, she simply put her arms around the man:
"Brother Le, why are you hiding? I won't eat you."
"I...I'm afraid that I will...eat you." Dad Le was so stiff that he didn't dare to move. He also had the needs of a normal man. There was a woman sleeping next to him who was his legitimate wife, so how could he not have any ideas.
After he finished speaking, he found that the arm resting on his chest had been retracted, and she also moved away. Le's father was so ashamed and angry that he...he acted too obviously, so he must have been disliked by Xiaofeng.
He was upset and was thinking about how to explain. There was another arm on his chest, still gently touching his waist. Leba's muscles were tense and he couldn't speak smoothly: "...Xiao Feng,
Xiaofeng..."
"...Brother Le, we will be husband and wife from now on, and we will live together." In the darkness, Zhou Qiufeng's hands were shaking a little, but she still bravely unbuttoned Yueqing's clothes.
"Little...Feng-" Le's father was surprised and happy, so happy that he couldn't control his hands and feet. The next moment, Zhou Qiufeng threw himself on him. He hugged him involuntarily with both hands. He had difficulty breathing. He just took two breaths.
When a mouth came towards it, he started to bite it without hesitation.
The summer night is about to begin, and the bridal chamber has just begun.
The next day, Dad Le woke up and felt refreshed. He wanted to get up and make breakfast, but found that Zhou Qiufeng was no longer around, and he could faintly hear some slight noises coming from the kitchen.
He dressed neatly, held his crutches in his hands, and ran to the kitchen. He saw firewood burning in the fire pit that had not been lit for a long time. Zhou Qiufeng had laid out household items and was making pancakes. It was full of the smell of home.
.
"Wife!" Le's father exclaimed with joy, "tapping, tapping" towards Zhou Qiufeng.
"Brother Le, you... you should just call me the old way." Zhou Qiufeng's face turned red. She was used to being called "Xiao Feng", but when she suddenly heard the word "wife", she felt very strange.
After a night of spring supper and body-to-body communication, the two hearts became closer, and they truly felt like a couple.
"You are my wife." Dad Le's eyes are clear, the kind of eyes that only men understand, which can only mean something that cannot be expressed in words.
"It's up to you." Zhou Qiufeng looked away in embarrassment, Zhuan'er's face tightened: "Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?"
"No, no."
"I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth. Why are you trying to squeeze me in?"
"Hey, honey, I'm going to wash my face right away."
After being yelled at by his wife, Le's father hurriedly responded, ran out to wash his face and mouth, then happily ran back to the kitchen to help control the fire.
After frying the pancakes, pan-fried buns, and making soup noodles, the newlyweds ate deliciously. Zhou Qiufeng took the hot pig food to feed the piglets, fed the chickens and pigs, and cooked the pig food when she came back.
The housework was all taken over by his wife, and Le's father became the uncle again. He could only help light the fire. He smiled so naively that Zhou Qiufeng wanted to throw cold water on him.
After cooking the pig food, Zhou Qiufeng went for a walk in the back garden and came back to pack things for home. The two of them got married without a party, and there was no need to make a big fuss or beat gongs and drums when they returned home.
Bring the meat, wine, and glutinous rice you bought yesterday, put them in a big bamboo basket that is most common in rural areas, put a red envelope on it, cover it with a new towel, and that's it.
Le's father was embarrassed: "Honey, isn't this too little?"
"That's enough, listen to me." Zhou Qiufeng dragged Yueqing with her in a bamboo basket, locked the door, and went back to her parents' home.
