"It looks good, mother. When you go out wearing this, you look several years younger. You're from the city. You have good taste." Zhou Jinhua was playing drums beside her.
At this moment, Xiaocui heard that Cheng Xiang was coming, and she also came to her parents-in-law's room with her stomach on her stomach.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Xiaocui greeted Cheng Xiang shyly.
Cheng Xiang turned to look at Xiaocui and smiled kindly at her: "My belly is getting rounder and rounder. Children grow so fast."
Xiao Cui smiled shyly and touched her belly and said, "Yes, I can feel him moving inside now."
He looked back at the cloth on his mother-in-law's hand and said, "Did my sister-in-law buy this? My sister-in-law is very discerning. Tianlong and I also discussed that if my sister-in-law is educated, I will ask my sister-in-law to help name the child when the child is born."
When Zhou Yuliang heard this, he coughed slightly.
Cheng Xiang laughed: "Choosing a name is a big deal. How dare I overstep it? It should be chosen by a respected elder in the family. Grandpa must have already thought of the name for the child, right Uncle Yuliang?"
Cheng Xiang looked at Zhou Yuliang with a slight smile. Zhou Yuliang blew out smoke and said slowly: "I will write down the name when the time comes and let your sister-in-law go over the details together."
Xiaocui nodded: "Okay."
Cheng Xiang smiled and said nothing.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" She doesn't come to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. This girl will not come to the door with a gift for no reason.
"Either I say that my father has a sharp eye and can't hide anything from you. Think about it, let's talk about your business directly." Zhou Jinhua complimented his father.
Cheng Xiang didn't mince words, and explained the matter in detail, and finally said: "I want Uncle Yuliang to be a guarantor to prevent him from going back on his words in the future. He has always been in awe of you, and you will definitely be able to scare him a bit." .”
Zhou Yuliang listened to the clatter of cigarettes and said nothing.
As the saying goes, the cannibal is soft-spoken and the taker is short-handed. Zhou Jinhua’s mother held the fabric that Cheng wanted to give, looked at Cheng with a smile and wanted to say: "This matter is easy to handle. That kid always listens to your uncle and lets you talk. It will definitely work.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Yuliang. Zhou Yuliang was looking at his wife with his eyes rolled up, with a look on his face that said, "You're the only one who talks too much."
Zhou Yuliang now wanted to show off his airs as a grown-up, knocked on the cigarette pole and said: "You are a woman, you can just take care of your children at home, why are you fussing around?"
Cheng Xiang rolled his eyes at this moment: "It's this rhetoric again."
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Xiang asked slowly: "Uncle Yuliang, if Xiaocui gives you a granddaughter, will you let her have her feet bound in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Zhou Yuliang even stared and said, "What age are we in, who still has their feet bound?"
Cheng Xiang smiled and asked: "If your granddaughter studies well in the future and is admitted to a university in Beijing, will you prevent her from going to university?"
Zhou Yuliang glared again: "It is the honor of the family for my child to be admitted to college. How can I stop it? Am I the kind of person who values boys over girls?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Jinhua with a guilty look.
Cheng thought: "Of course, Uncle Yuliang will definitely love his granddaughter in the future. So, society has progressed, it is a new society now, the country advocates equality between men and women, we should not be so feudal, women can also have their own With your career, you can live on your own.”
After Cheng wanted to finish these words, Zhou Jinhua, Xiao Cui and Jin Hua Niang next to them all laughed heartily.
"Dad, please stop being so big. You can't even help with such a small matter, and you blame Tian Lei for not being close to you. You should first see if you love him." Zhou Jinhua snapped out.
Xiaocui, who had never dared to resist her father-in-law, also opened her mouth and said, "Yes, Dad, if it weren't for brother Tianlei and sister-in-law, who knows where Tianlong would be now?
A few days ago, Lai Si went to find trouble with his sister-in-law. When Tianlong came back, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him. It was because I was afraid that he would cause trouble that I didn't let him go. "
Zhou Yuliang said solemnly: "What are you yelling about? I didn't say I don't care. One or two of them have learned to educate me. Okay, call Lai Si over tomorrow. You guys sign another agreement in front of me. I'll make an agreement." Guarantee, if that kid dares to default on his debts in the future, I will twist his head off."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Yuliang." Cheng Xiang thanked him respectfully.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lai Si, Cheng Xiang, and Chen Jiao gathered at Zhou Yuliang's house and formally wrote an agreement. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints. Zhou Yuliang acted as mediator, and the matter was settled.
Lai Si was respectful and obedient in front of Zhou Yuliang. Zhou Yuliang also reprimanded him and told him to use the money to find a living and stop living a lazy life.
Lai Si responded solemnly: "I understand, uncle, I will change it."
After leaving the door, Lai Si followed Cheng Xiang and said sadly: "Did you find Chen Tian and the others?"
Cheng Xiang stood still, without looking back, and said in a deep voice: "You know who Chen Tian and the others are. They just want to retaliate against injustice. Lai Si, let me put my words here. After this time If you can get rid of these bad habits, you will know that they can save your life. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see.”
After saying that, Cheng Xiang left without looking back.
In fact, half a year later, when Lai Si was on the city street and saw a prisoner who was being held in a prison car for molesting a woman and taken directly to the execution ground for execution, he understood what Cheng wanted to say to him, and he broke out in a cold sweat. .
After the matter of renting the land was settled, Chen Jiao hired a few people, and Lai Si and Wang Ying started working on the land at the same time, and the land was tidied up in a few days. Everything is ready, just waiting for the yam seedlings from Yang Xun to come and arrange planting.
These days, there are so many complicated things happening one after another, which makes people have headaches.
After the spring, the weather is getting warmer. The sun is not dazzling during the day and is warm. Cheng Xiang lies on the recliner and reads a book.
About five minutes later, the book fell to the ground. Cheng Xiang woke up instantly, stretched out his hands to rub his face, and thought helplessly: "This won't work, this won't work, wake up, wake up."
I picked up the book and read for another five minutes. The book slowly fell from my hand again. This time I no longer struggled. I shook my head and found a comfortable position. I thought to myself: "Five minutes of sleep, just five minutes." .”
As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them, fifty minutes passed, and I still had an extra blanket on my body.
Cheng wanted to turn around and take a look. Qing'er was crawling next to him and drawing.
"Qing'er, is this the blanket you covered me with?" Cheng wanted to ask.
Qing'er walked to her side and nodded: "Well, if you feel sleepy, just go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep."
Cheng Xiang smiled and touched her head, stood up, stretched and said, "Mom is up, let me hear how good you are at practicing the piano."
Qing'er nodded, walked to the piano, and played it again according to the techniques and techniques taught by Teacher Lu. As expected, with the guidance of the famous teacher, Qing'er's piano skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently.
