Wanghai County, Changping Village.
The carriage drove steadily forward on the official road in front of Changping Village.
In the carriage, everyone except Xu Qiaohong was in high spirits.
why?
Because after leaving the village for so long, they finally returned to the village where they had been away for a long time. Although they had not entered the village yet, they only saw the fields on both sides of the road, as well as the iconic courtyard and eaves of the Luo family not far away. , everyone already feels more friendly.
Fallen leaves return to their roots, and foxes die on their first mounds. When the body is weak, what they long for most is to return to their homeland.
The air, soil, water, and everything in my hometown seemed to bring comfort to my broken and weak body.
Sleeping is peaceful, every dream is sweet, and the soul can rest.
"It's great to be back. Now that I'm back, I don't have to stay in the palm-sized area in the backyard of the hospital every day. I can chat with Lao Suntou, Lao Jiangtou and the others, and we can all sit under the wall to bask in the sun." Old Yangtou sighed again.
Yang Huamei also nodded repeatedly, "When I come back, I can see Zhuangzhuang. Even if I am in bed recuperating, at least there are people in the house. If others walk by the courtyard of Lao Wang's house, they won't say that there is no one in this house!"
Old Yangtou also agreed with Yang Huamei's words, "Yes, that's called popularity."
"However, your old Wang family is very popular now. Xiaohei and Qiaohong are all here, and the young people are thriving."
Yang Huamei then glanced at Xu Qiaohong and smiled with satisfaction, "Thanks to the care of Xiaohei and Qiaohong during this time in the hospital, I always say this in front of everyone."
Xu Qiaohong did not expect that Yang Huamei would praise her like this in front of Old Yangtou and Tan.
To be honest, this mother-in-law did a pretty good job in this regard and did not offend Xu Qiaohong.
"Mom, it is our children's duty to take care of you, no need to say anything to outsiders." Xu Qiaohong said.
Yang Huamei nodded happily again, "It is Xiaohei's blessing that Xiaohei marries you, and it is also the blessing of our Lao Wang family."
Xu Qiaohong felt a little embarrassed.
Lao Yangtou also gave Xu Qiaohong a thumbs up.
Even Mr. Tan, who always likes to find fault with others, did not say anything offensive for the first time this time.
However, what the old lady said was always in two styles.
Or find fault.
Or, keep whipping.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, we are motivating the other party to move forward, hoping that the other party will do better and better and not be too distracted.
For example, what Mrs. Tan said right now has the same meaning:
"It's okay to serve you for a day, it's okay to serve you for a month. If you are really a good and filial daughter-in-law, and you deserve this compliment from your mother-in-law, then you have to be diligent all day long. You can't just be lazy when you get home. If you slack off, that would be fake. Filial piety."
"True filial piety cannot be concealed, nor can false filial piety be concealed. You must have a record in your heart!"
Xu Qiaohong's smile froze on her face, and she didn't know how to respond to the old lady's words.
It’s not that they don’t know how to deal with it, everyone has a mouth under their nose.
Especially Xu Qiaohong, her mouth didn't grow in vain. Look at the previous exchanges with Dabai, she didn't suffer any loss, and she even made Dabai so angry that she ran back to Qingshui Town. ….
However, she is not stupid and will not jump over the rank to confront Tan in front of her mother-in-law Yang Huamei.
Lao Yangtou was watching from the side, and the fourth uncle driving the car in front was also listening.
If you antagonize the Tan family, you are antagonizing the entire old Yang family, and you are not giving the old Yang family face.
If you don’t give face to Lao Yang’s family, you don’t give face to the third family, and you don’t give face to Mrs. Luo’s natal family.
The tea garden managed by his father and three brothers is the property of the Luo family.
It can also be said that the current conditions of my mother's family are all dependent on the big tree of the Luo family, which obviously offends the Luo family and is detrimental to my father and brother.
Furthermore, the exchange of arguments with an old lady was endless, and there was no way to tell the difference. For Xu Qiaohong,
She said that this was a thankless task and she was too lazy to do it.
Therefore, facing Tan's unheard words, Xu Qiaohong just smiled awkwardly and remained silent.
Because she knew that if she showed weakness, someone would definitely come out to fight for her.
Sure enough, Yang Huamei was the first to speak up for her.
"Mom, don't talk about Qiaohong like that. Qiaohong is a good child. I believe her."
While Yang Huamei said this to Mrs. Tan, she also freed up a hand to gently pat the back of Xu Qiaohong's hand, which was meant to comfort her.
"Qiaohong, don't take it personally. Your grandma didn't mean to blame you when she said that. She was worried about me."
Xu Qiaohong also held Yang Huamei's hand with her backhand and said with a smile: "Mom, you think too much, I won't take it to heart."
Although it is true that the old lady is annoying, the thought and action of the old lady to protect her daughter cannot help but shock, admire and move people.
"Well, Qiaohong is indeed good." Old Yangtou also followed Yang Huamei's words and gave Xu Qiaohong a word of comfort.
Then, the old man asked Xu Qiaohong with a smile: "Have you not returned to your parents' home for a long time?"
Xu Qiaohong said: "It's been almost a month."
Old Yangtou said: "I have been staying in the county to serve your mother-in-law. Now I am going back to the village. I will make arrangements later and let your aunt and cousin take some time to look after your mother-in-law, so that you can take some time to come back." Go to your parents’ house to meet your father and brother.”
A smile appeared on Xu Qiaohong's face and she said to Lao Yangtou: "Okay, thank you for your understanding. I really miss my dad."
The old man is a father himself. Hearing other people's daughters say they miss their father will give him a certain sense of belonging.
So at the moment, Lao Yangtou smiled with relief, and secretly added an extra day for Xu Qiaohong to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives, so that she could spend more time with her father and brother.
"We're here!" Yang Huaming's voice came from the front of the carriage, interrupting the chat in the carriage.
The old man raised his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and found that the carriage had arrived in front of the Luo family's yard.
After passing Luo's house, next door is Yang Huazhong's house.
The old man had always lived at Yang Huazhong's house, so Yang Huaming shouted "We're here". In fact, he was reminding Old Yang that he had arrived at the third brother's house and was ready to get off the car.
The old man smiled and nodded and said, "I don't know if your third brother and sister-in-law have returned from Qing'an County."
Yang Huaming said: "When I came back the day before yesterday, I came here specifically to see it, but the third brother and the third sister-in-law didn't come back."
Old Yangtou said: "Well, if you haven't come back, you haven't come back. They have to stay close to Qing'an County for now. I have the key with me. I'll park the carriage directly at the door later. I'll hit it when I get off!"
Mrs. Tan frowned and looked outside, and said, "My wife and I have not been at home for that long. We were also at the county hospital during this period. I'm afraid your house is covered with a layer of dust on the table and bed, and it's too humid to live in." !」
