Zheng Bajin was in distress and couldn't make up his mind.
He thought about taking Qingqing home and becoming his brother's wife. Later, I saw that Qingqing was good-looking and might become a poet, so I wanted to take it with me for my own use. However, at this moment, this idea wavered.
With his current ability, he does not have the conditions to give her happiness.
There is nothing wrong with it. His family is not the worst, only the worst!
It was so bad that he didn’t even want to mention it again!
Zheng Bajin's mother, named Hu Ying, is in her fifties. Her hair is graying and her body is stooped. She is already enjoying her old age, but she has become the main labor force in the family, struggling to support the crumbling home.
As soon as day breaks, he comes back from the field carrying a load of potatoes.
Before she walked into the door of the two pig pens she borrowed for temporary accommodation, someone was already waiting there. He took the potatoes off her back and said with a sneer: "Zheng Bajin owed me the money, it's time to pay it back!"
Hu Ying sighed and cursed: "This man who killed a thousand swords has not been seen for a few days. He may have died a long time ago. He sent you money, so go and ask for it from him!"
"How can this be done? As the saying goes, debts have to be repaid. It's not that they have to be solved by hiding away from people. As the old saying goes, you can't escape the first day of the junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth day." The man did not Not angry, but smiling.
"Oh, that's all. Gambling debts are debts too. We have no money at home and only have this bag of potatoes. Why don't you leave some for me? We have an eighty-year-old mother-in-law at home, so we can't let her starve to death? I guess you won't bear it either. ." Hu Ying sighed and begged the man.
I don’t know which groups of people came to the door, either asking for Zheng Bajin’s account, Zheng Baliang asking for money, or Zheng Laohai owing wine money.
Everyone in the world doesn't understand that there is no one among the three sons of the Zheng family who is not fond of gambling or a lover of wine.
Hu Ying and her mother-in-law seemed to owe them in the previous life...
The man glanced at Hu Ying and saw that she was really pitiful and still had some conscience. He sighed and said, "Okay, you pick up a handful and I'll take the rest with me!"
…
Qingqing looked at Zheng Bajin and said nothing, but was waiting for an answer from him, whether he was willing to treat her as well as he had been the past few days, feeding her medicine, helping her wash her face, and combing her hair.
Zheng Bajin picked up the comb and helped her comb her hair.
It feels very comfortable to touch the soft hair with both hands. I think back then, her hair became felt and she had to cut off part of it.
However, at this time, it seems that it has an extra non-mainstream flavor.
"You said you were a god and would protect me. Are you lying?" Qingqing suddenly felt sad and shed tears.
"No, what I said is true, I will protect you!"
At this time, Bao Juan suddenly appeared at the door. Listening to the conversation between the two, the shoes in her hands fell to the ground.
She never imagined that Qingqing, who had been going crazy all this time, would now be completely awake.
Qingqing stopped talking, looked at Bao Juan's eyes, and became frightened again, as if what she saw was not the stepmother, but the devil!
"Don't be afraid, I am a god and I will protect you!" Zheng Bajin finally made up his mind at this moment.
"Shameless!" Bao Juan scolded, "A man and a woman are alone in the same room, and they are so close to each other. What kind of behavior is this?"
"I am a doctor. In the eyes of a qualified doctor, there are only patients, regardless of gender!" Zheng Bajin glanced at her, said coldly, picked up the shoes on the floor, and tried them on.
These are a pair of rubber shoes, which cost ten yuan a pair. For a woman like Bao Juan, they are a waste of money.
Zheng Bajin looked at Bao Juan who turned green and said, "Thank you, it's quite appropriate!"
"Get out!" Bao Juan yelled angrily, just wanting Zheng Bajin to take Qingqing away as soon as possible and never come back.
"Haha, if you want to get out, you have to wait until her father comes back and give an explanation." Zheng Bajin thought to himself: It's time for this woman to pay back her debts little by little.
"What else do you want to say? You're just an alcoholic who picked up a wife for nothing. What else do you want to say?" Bao Juan looked at Zheng Bajin.
"No, give me the money. I haven't finished my work yet, so I can't leave. Besides, if I take Qingqing away like this, then if you go and accuse me of kidnapping, won't I be able to explain it clearly?" Zheng Bajin looked at Bao Juan and said with a smile, "By the way, I'm a little hungry now. If you don't go and cook, forget it, let me do it! What you cook tastes terrible."
Bao Juan: "..."
transfixed!
It is the most appropriate word to describe Bao Juan at this time.
Qingqing smiled.
Zheng Bajin looked at her and said, "Let's do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing."
Qingqing nodded, then shook her head: "I can't do anything!"
"It's okay, just watch and I'll do it." Zheng Bajin was in a rare good mood and decided to cook in person, so that if Nian Jianan was away, Bao Juan would put something uncomfortable for them to eat.
Seeing Qingqing nodding, Zheng Bajin really went to cook, completely treating Bao Juan as nothing.
In the wing room, which is the place used for cooking, it can also be called the kitchen, with ready-made coal.
Zheng Bajin glanced at Bao Juan, who was dumbfounded, and said, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Make a fire!"
Bao Juan was very angry, but she was afraid that Zheng Bajin would not leave and would tell Nian Jianan about Qingqing's torture by her, so she had to swallow her anger and light a fire.
The Nian family is really good, with ready-made oil and potatoes.
Zheng Bajin looked at it and decided to make fried potatoes.
In this era, not many people are willing to use a lot of oil to fry potatoes. Zheng Bajin made Bao Juan heartbroken.
After this period of time, Zheng Bajin stayed at Nian's house every day, and people got used to it. They were busy going to the fields to pull weeds without having anything to do with themselves.
There were only a few gangsters who usually didn't like to work and had nothing to do. When they saw that Nian Jian'an's tractor was not at the door, they knew that he was going to pull coal, so they walked to the door of Nian Jian'an's house and wanted to ask Bao Juan to gamble.
Unexpectedly, he saw Zheng Bajin peeling potatoes with a knife and Bao Juan making a fire.
The most surprising thing is that Qingqing, who has been crazy for several years, is moving a small bench and sitting not far in front of Zheng Bajin, watching him work.
A few bastards were stunned. After not seeing each other for a few days, the Nian family had changed!
"What are you doing? What's there to see?" Bao Juan was so angry that she happened to take it out on the second bastard. She raised her face stained by soot and cursed.
The two bastards couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud: "Aunt Bao, I haven't gambled for a few days. Do you want to play a few games?"
"Play with your mother!" Bao Juan scolded directly, and the two bastards couldn't help but frown. This old lady Bao stopped gambling and changed into a different person. Wouldn't this cut off their financial path? They couldn't help but glare at Zheng Bajin. .
Zheng Bajin was laughing. These people called Bao Juan Aunt Bao? If they were a younger generation, what would they be called?
Qingqing didn't pay attention for the moment and saw the two gangsters. She felt uncomfortable again and was so scared that she hid aside.
"It's okay, it's okay. I am a god and I will protect you." Zheng Bajin saw that Qingqing was frightened and hurriedly comforted him, then turned back to the two gangsters standing by the door and said, "Get out of here. , From now on, you are not allowed to gamble with Aunt Bao, otherwise, I will tell Uncle Nian about this and skin you."
"Who the hell are you? You're just a drunkard. You're also a gambler. Unexpectedly, we haven't seen each other for a few days, so you're pretending to be serious. You're a god, bah!" The two fools were scolded by Bao Juan. Zhengchou couldn't find a place to get angry. He saw that Zheng Bajin, who had bet money with them and lost like a pig, pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, and pretended to be a god to deceive an ignorant girl like Qingqing. He became very angry. Come on, just start scolding.
Bao Juan's eyes lit up, she looked at the two bastards, pursed her lips, and signaled them to teach Zheng Bajin a lesson.
Zheng Bajin was not angry. He had the same idea. He wanted to teach these two bastards a lesson, just to impress the "half-immortal". He glared and said, "You don't accept it, right? If you have the guts, come here. I'll chop them off one by one." Drink."
With that said, he picked up the kitchen knife and walked towards the door.
Of course he knows that in this era, whoever can be ruthless is the eldest brother.
As for saying who is stronger, that is bragging, not a martial arts novel.
"What are you doing? Get away, otherwise, my dad will come back and kill you two!" At this moment, a childish voice sounded, and Xiaocao appeared behind the two bastards.
The two of them were startled. They turned back to look at Xiaocao and said hurriedly: "Xiaocao, this is an outsider. He is in your house and won't leave. He is not a good person at first glance. Can we help you get rid of him?"
"Go away, who asked you to mind your own business? Do you want you to drive away the people we invited? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude." Xiaocao said, lifting the broom by the wall, as if he was about to take action.
The two of them were frightened and hurriedly left, cursing in their hearts, if it weren't for the fear of Nian Jian'an, you are a little grass, only a few years old, and I would crush you to death.
Zheng Bajin was stunned. He never expected that Xiaocao could be so strong-willed.
Bao Juan was speechless about her biological daughter...
Qingqing watched the two bastards leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaocao entered the room, looked at Qingqing and said, "I'm sorry, I overslept. Why didn't sister call me?"
Qingqing, who had calmed down a bit, smiled and reached out to touch her hair without saying a word.
At this time, Zheng Bajin felt happy when he saw Qingqing's mood stabilized, and then peeled the potatoes.
In a short time, Zheng Bajin made half a pot of potatoes, washed them, cut them into small pieces, and fried them on the fire, giving off a burst of fragrance.
Bao Juan looked at the half-filled pot of oil and felt heartbroken! Ordinary people can’t eat so much oil in a year!
Zheng Bajin didn't care about this. While mixing the potatoes, he said: "Xiaocao, I see there are dried chili peppers on the wall at the door. Pull a few for me. Put them on the potatoes. It will be delicious."
Xiaocao went out happily and was willing to help. After a while, she picked a small handful.
Zheng Bajin did not wash it with water, but wiped off the ash on it with his hands, chopped it into pieces quickly, and threw them together in the oil pan for frying.
After a while, the potatoes turned yellow, and the scent of chili spread far and wide.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Zheng Bajin hurriedly lifted the pot, scooped the potatoes into a bowl, and sprinkled them with salt.
Xiaocao couldn't wait, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Zheng Bajin hurriedly said: "Be careful when it's scalded, blow it a few times before eating it."
As he said that, he also picked up the chopsticks, picked out a piece, put it to his mouth, blew it again and again, and handed it to Qingqing.
Qingqing took it with her hands and put the potato in her mouth almost at the same time as Xiaocao.
Bao Juan drooled at the sight, but because of her heartache, she couldn't put her face down and compete with the three people for food.
"It smells so good!" Xiaocao praised.
Qingqing didn't say anything, but her eyes were already shining, which showed that the taste was really good.
"It would be more delicious if there were more pepper noodles!" Zheng Bajin also started to eat.
"It's already very good. I have never eaten potatoes that taste so fragrant." Xiaocao ate and boasted, "Brother Zheng, you are really amazing. Not only did you cure my sister, but you can also fry potatoes."
"Humph, what's so difficult about this? If I don't give up the oil, I can fry potatoes like this." Bao Juan said disapprovingly, looking straight at the oil in the pot, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
"The key is that my mother is reluctant to give up the gas. She is only willing to take the money and lose it." Xiaocao muttered.
"What did you say? I'll beat you to death for talking nonsense!" Bao Juan was so angry that she picked up a stick and started to hit the grass.
Qingqing was startled, stood in front of Xiaocao and said, "Don't hit her, if you want to hit her, hit me!"
Zheng Bajin stepped forward, protected the two of them behind him, and said in a deep voice, "You dare?"
"It's none of your business if I beat my own daughter!" Bao Juan didn't expect that Qingqing, who had never dared to resist, actually showed fearlessness.
"It's wrong to hit someone. Can't you please speak up? No matter if it's your daughter or not, you can't hit her. You have to set an example and teach by words and deeds. Otherwise, the upper beam is not straight. How do you expect the lower beam to be right?" Zheng Bajin looked at her. , said with a smile.
"Huh!" Bao Juan was so angry that she dropped the stick and ran out of the house.
