Yang Huaming tilted his head and rolled his eyes at Mr. Liu: "What nonsense, am I the kind of unreliable person? It's not like I haven't had a drink in my life, but you, you just can't control that greedy mouth, don't wait until then The food went into your three-inch hole before it was served!"
The couple just started bickering like this, as if no one else was watching. You were trying to tear me down, and I was going to show off yours. They were evenly matched.
Others were not surprised by the way the two of them got along. Some drank tea, some watched the excitement with their lips pursed, and some simply got together to chat about their own affairs.
At night, San Yatou and Xiu Xiu made an appointment to come over to chat with Mianmian, and then slept in Mianmian's house.
Bao Suyun was very grateful to the two of them for coming over to chat with Mianmian. Sometimes it was better to let peers come over to enlighten her.
So Bao Suyun sent a bunch of snacks, fruits and tea to their room.
The third girl joked: "Fifth Aunt is deliberately telling us not to sleep tonight, just say we will stay overnight!"
Xiu Xiu peeled off a piece of orange and stuffed it into her mouth. It was sweet and refreshing. "The melons and fruits given by Grandma Wu are delicious. Two aunts, let's just treat it like a tea party. At worst, we can catch up on some sleep tomorrow."
Bao Suyun looked at the three of them lovingly, "You can sleep whenever you want, then I'll go out first, and you can say what you want."
After Bao Suyun came out, she closed the door gently and tiptoed back to her room.
Yang Huazhou sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette, his brows knitted into a knot.
"Have they fallen asleep?" he asked without raising his head.
"No, a few people are talking and laughing." Bao Suyun took off his coat and walked to the corner and started pouring hot water into the basin.
"Did we Mianmian laugh too?" Yang Huazhou asked again.
Bao Suyun raised his head and thought about it carefully: "I'm not smiling, but it looks okay. It doesn't look like I'm about to cry or can't think about it."
Yang Huazhou nodded: "That's good. Let San Yatou and Xiu Xiu stay with her to talk. It will be much more comfortable if she can express her inner anguish."
Bao Suyun said softly, "Hmm", turned around and squatted down in front of Yang Huazhou with the water basin that had been adjusted to temperature. He held Yang Huazhou's feet with both hands and took off his shoes and socks for him familiarly: "Dad, you've been busy all day. We are exhausted from the journey, so let’s wash our feet with hot water and go to bed to rest!”
Yang Huazhou put down the dry tobacco pole and stared at the gentle eyebrows of the woman in front of him. He thought of Mother Jiang's disheveled and hysterical appearance tonight, and couldn't help but sigh: "Marry a virtuous wife, Suyun, you are a good woman. I, Yang Huazhou, will marry you." The best thing I’ve ever done in my life!”
Bao Suyun was immersed in kneading the soles of his feet to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation.
Suddenly hearing his praise, I was slightly shocked.
She raised her head and looked at him. Time had left traces on the corners of her eyes, and the faint fine lines were clearly visible.
However, the gentleness and kindness in her eyes remain the same as before, and her shyness has not faded.
"I didn't do anything, don't praise me like that." She blushed and whispered, but her heart felt as sweet as honey.
"It's not a boast, it's the truth."
Yang Huazhou added, "I went to break off the engagement tonight and saw Jiang Er's mother-in-law rolling around. To be honest, I really felt a cold sweat for Jiang Er. How did he survive all these years!"
I remember when Jiang Er and I were kids, we would herd cattle together in the mountains and catch turtles in the river. We would watch the watermelon fields and sleep on the same thatched mat on summer nights. We would chat all night long and there would always be endless topics to talk about.
One day when he was a teenager, Jiang Er was beaten by some boys from Lijiacun. Yang Huazhou and several good buddies who often played with him went to the intersection of Lijiacun to block people after they fucked them. The two sides were beaten to a bloody head.
In other words, he was once young and frivolous, and he once stabbed his brothers to death.
"This is all fate. God arranged it. If you think it's not good, maybe Jiang Er will be satisfied. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lived together for so many years and even given birth to a son."
Bao Suyun said softly that if one quilt does not cover two people, it does not mean that one family cannot enter the same house.
The foot bath in hot water was so comfortable, and the facial features of his wife in front of him were too gentle. Yang Huazhou's memory box was opened, and he told Bao Suyun many things about when he and Jiang Er were young.
"...To be honest, Jiang went on a blind date for the first time when he was twenty-eight years old. I laughed at him and said, why are you getting married so early? It's so uncomfortable to be controlled by a woman."
"Jiang Er said at the time that even if he had a mother-in-law, he would not lose these good brothers who had played with him since childhood."
"Later he got married. My mother-in-law was pretty pretty. She hung around her back every day. Gradually, she had less contact with us. You guys can understand that, as a newlywed, you miss the things between men and women. Things are normal, it will be fine once the novelty wears off..."
Bao Suyun patted his feet lightly and whispered with a blushing face: "Just say it nicely and be serious."
Yang Huazhou grinned. He liked seeing Bao Suyun shy, but he still became serious.
"Until one day one of us invited a guest for a drink. Jiang Er came and left after not even two glasses of wine. That night, we heard them arguing and fighting and breaking things. The next day, the woman ran back to her parents' house."
"Jiang Er was like an eggplant beaten by frost. His face was scratched by the woman. The brothers persuaded him for a while, pooled money to buy him gifts, and accompanied him to his father-in-law's house. They begged for help and finally brought the woman back. ”
"The next day, Jiang Er found our brothers, paid back the money we collected, and told our brothers that his mother-in-law was pregnant. From now on, he would focus on making money to support the family and would not bother with us... "
Yang Huazhou drank two bowls of tea instead of wine before putting it down. He sat there distracted, as if he hadn't recovered from the past.
In the process, Bao Suyun had dried his feet, put on clean and soft warm shoes, stirred the charcoal in the charcoal basin, and sat next to him and continued to be his listener.
"Xianjun's mother was pregnant at that time? But Xianjun's age is not right for her!"
She tilted her head slightly to capture this vulnerability.
Yang Huazhou said: "Jiang Er got married six or seven years earlier than me. It was his first child. He was born a daughter. She contracted dysentery and died when she was half a year old."
"Ah? What a pitiful baby." Bao Suyun's face was filled with distress.
"It took a few years for Jiang Xianjun to be born. Jiang Er took their mother and son very seriously. Xianjun is two years older than our Mianmian, and a little younger than our Dabao."
Bao Suyun nodded lightly, "Xianjun's facial features are all the same as his mother's, which shows that his mother was really beautiful when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't be so rare to Jiang Er."
"Hmph," Yang Huazhou sneered, "There are so many beautiful women. Whether they are men or women, the most important thing is character. She has no character, so she is destined to make a mess in the Jiang family. Look, this It’s just the beginning!”
