Six o'clock, Hu's house.
Like most families in the city, the Hu family's house was also busy with New Year's Eve dinner at this time.
In the kitchen, Mother Hu glanced at her daughter-in-law Zhang Yi from time to time, and the smile on her face never faded. She sighed in her heart that her son was so lucky to be able to marry such a virtuous wife.
She is beautiful, sensible, filial, and very diligent.
Let's just say today, the old lady never thought of asking her pregnant daughter-in-law to help, but this little girl Zhang didn't say anything. When she came back from get off work, she went into the kitchen and worked hard with her. Can't even drive them away.
"mom."
Just when the old lady was distracted, Xiao Zhang suddenly turned around and said with a sweet smile: "Do you remember that I asked my sister-in-law to help me make clothes a few days ago? She is a bit too thin and I can't wear them. I can’t change it, so I’ll try it on you later, and if it can be worn, I’ll wear it for you.”
"Hey, how can these clothes be made smaller? Is this such a measuring ruler? If I had known, I wouldn't have asked your sister-in-law. Aunt Liu in our courtyard has good craftsmanship." The old lady complained in her mouth, but in her heart Like a bright mirror.
Fabric is expensive these days, so doesn’t everyone have to treat it with caution?
How could I make my clothes smaller due to carelessness?
It was obvious that the daughter-in-law was afraid of her rejection, so she found some excuse to make herself new clothes.
"It's okay, Mom, just be young if you're young. It just so happens that you haven't bought any new clothes in a few years, so I'll just treat them as if they were made for you. We'll just stop looking for my sister-in-law later." Xiao Zhang comforted her at this time.
"What kind of new clothes do I, a carefree old man, want?" Hu's mother was half helpless, half happy, and secretly decided in her heart that she would not buy the shirt she promised to give to Hu Zhengqiang, and would go to the clothing store to buy it for her son. Wife brings back a shirt.
At this time, Hu Zhengwen came in carrying a bucket, looked at his mother and daughter-in-law, grinned, then went to the water tank without saying a word and poured the water in the bucket.
Zhang Yi glanced at the sweat on her husband's forehead, took out a handkerchief and walked over with a smile, carefully wiped his sweat, and asked softly: "Look at your sweat. Are you going to fetch water for Aunt Su again?"
Aunt Su is an old lady who lives in the courtyard next to their house. She has no children. Her husband also starved to death a few years ago. She is a very pitiful person. The Hu family will always help her.
"Well, I wanted to invite Aunt Su to my house for a bite. She didn't say anything and just gave me a bottle of water." Hu Zhengwen looked at his handsome daughter-in-law with a tender face and giggled in a silly voice.
Miss Zhang was also kind-hearted, so she thought for a moment and said, "When the meal is ready later, let's send some to the old lady."
"Oh." Hu Zhengwen nodded, then carried the bucket out of the kitchen and continued to go outside to fetch water.
He has always been like this. He doesn't like to talk and just likes to work hard. Xiao Zhang quite likes this about him.
"Oh, it's already past six o'clock?" Hu's father frowned and came to the door, looked into the yard, and asked doubtfully: "Why hasn't Hu Zhengqiang come back yet? What time is it!"
"Maybe something happened at work." Mother Hu said casually.
"Pull him down. With his lazy and greedy behavior, he doesn't take him with him when he has something to do. He must have gone somewhere to have fun." Hu's father snorted coldly, feeling helpless in his heart.
There were only two sons in the family, one was a dull gourd who couldn't be beaten with three sticks, and the other was a skinny monkey jumping up and down. They were completely opposite extremes, and neither of them inherited his calm character.
To be honest, if those two boys didn't look a bit like him, he would have suspected that the old woman was stealing someone!
"Hey, Zhengqiang is back, isn't it? Are you fighting outside again? You kid, you won't stop fighting even during the Chinese New Year."
At this moment, there was a sudden conversation outside.
Father Hu's face turned cold when he heard this. He turned to his wife and said, "Look, what did I say?"
"Oh, this careless bastard."
Mother Hu sighed, put down the spatula, turned around and walked out.
Zhang Yi shook her head helplessly, put down her kitchen knife and followed him out of the kitchen.
As soon as the three of them left the house, Hu Zhengqiang came to the door.
This kid looked much worse than when he was taken away at noon.
Originally he only had one black eye, but now he has two black eyes, which are much more symmetrical. Someone has shaved his hair into a bald head, and there are still more than a dozen blood marks on it, large and small. The barber's skills are a bit trendy.
The most important thing is that one of his legs is also lame, and he walks one high and one low.
"Oh, who did you ask to hit him?"
At this time, Hu's mother didn't mind blaming her son, and hurried forward to help him. Miss Zhang also walked over quickly, and followed her mother-in-law to help her brother-in-law walk into the house.
Only Hu's father stood there with a calm face and indifference, his eyes full of disappointment.
He has long been used to this situation. He originally thought that this kid would be more stable after going to work, but he didn't expect that he would still be like this.
A few moments.
Several people returned to the house and put Hu Zhengqiang on his bed. Hu Zhengwen, who was fetching water outside, also ran back after hearing the news.
"Who hit you? It was too cruel!"
Mother Hu had already untied the boy's coat and looked at his bruised and bruised body, shedding tears of distress.
Although I hate it, but after all, it is still the flesh that fell from my body.
"hiss!"
Hu Zhengqiang twisted his body and pulled at the scars on his body. He subconsciously recalled Cen Hao's ruthless methods in his mind. He couldn't help but show a hint of fear on his face, but then he was filled with resentment and he was furious. He turned his head and hummed: "In the grain management office, who else but Chu Heng would dare to hit me?"
"Hengzi?" Mother Hu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked worriedly: "What trouble have you caused again?"
"Yes, why did the monitor hit you?" Hu Zhengwen also took a step forward.
Zhang Yi also paid attention.
In their eyes, Chu Heng was the most reliable and benevolent person. How could they beat him for no reason?
Therefore, it was natural that Hu Zhengqiang was beaten because he made a mistake, and judging from the situation, the mistake he made was not small.
Seeing this, Hu Zhengqiang's eyes flickered and he vaguely told what happened today, only concealing the fact that he had stolen something.
After hearing this, Mother Hu didn't believe it: "Hengzi beat you like this just because you contradicted him?"
Hu Zhengqiang had a determined look on his face, glanced at his brother, and sneered: "Every day, the squad leader talks about it, does he think of your brother? He just said a few words that he didn't want to hear, and he almost beat me to death. Let me tell you, I won’t take this class at the Grain Management Office, otherwise I’ll be beaten to death.”
Hu Zhengwen looked at him blankly, then suddenly turned around and went to his father's house. When he came back, he was holding a brand new cane in his hand!
"What are you doing? Brother!" Hu Zhengqiang's eyelids twitched.
Hu Zhengwen walked up to him without saying a word, raised the cane and greeted him, which was a slap in the face.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
"Pop!"
"Mom, stop him quickly!"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Hu Zhengwen, do you want to beat me to death?"
"Pa bang bang..."
