Zhao Qingsong didn't know how to restrain himself as soon as he started eating meat. The man in his early twenties made a big fuss.
Li Rong couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.
When Li Rong woke up the next day, steaming sunlight filtered through the windows. Her head felt heavy, and as soon as she moved, her whole body felt very heavy, as if she had done a day of heavy work yesterday.
Thinking of last night's love affair, Li Rong's body and mind were filled with excitement. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of belonging in this world, as if she was originally from this world.
Sitting up with great effort, Zhao Qingsong was nowhere to be seen in the room, and I didn't know where he had gone.
After washing, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. There was still hot food in the pot.
After filling her stomach, Li Rong belatedly realized that the house was extremely quiet. No one was home except her.
Li Rong felt strange, where have they gone?
She felt sleepy after eating, so she climbed back onto the kang and took advantage of the warmth, and soon went back to sleep.
In the evening, smoke came out one after another from the chimneys in the village.
Li Rong was half asleep due to the noise outside. She suddenly heard crying and opened her eyes suddenly.
After listening carefully, I could hear it more clearly. Sure enough, someone was crying.
She couldn't sleep anymore, shook her head, got up from the kang, and walked out of the room. The cry came from the main room.
Li Rong walked in, and all the old Zhao family were inside. Zhao Qingliu, her husband and children, who had just returned yesterday to visit relatives, were also there.
It was Tiezhu who was crying. Zhao Qingliu wiped his tears and hugged Tiezhu to comfort him.
There was white gauze tied on the top of the iron pillar, and red oozed from the forehead, which was quite large and shocking.
Zhao Qingsong also looked bad, his jaw was tense and his fists were clenched in his hands. The expressions of the others also showed anger and hatred.
Probably something unpleasant had happened. Li Rong walked in and stood next to Zhao Qingsong, lightly touching Zhao Qingsong's hand. Zhao Qingsong looked at her sideways and held her hand back tightly.
Li Rong asked with her mouth: What happened?
Zhao Qingsong squeezed her hand, feeling relieved, and shook his head without saying anything.
Zhao Qingliu put Tie Zhu to sleep and carried her to a small, empty house at home. There was a kang inside, which was a small bed. Zhao's mother and He Xing cleaned up and made a bed and bedding for Tie Zhu to sleep on.
The atmosphere at home was a bit heavy. It wasn't until after dinner and back to her room that Li Rong dared to ask Zhao Qingsong what happened.
Zhao Qingsong looked unhappy: "It's not the old Li family..."
After hearing this, Li Rong found out that Zhao Qingsong and Zhao's mother went to get money for Zhao Qingliu today. As soon as they left the house and hadn't gone far, Hehua ran up to him crying. He was out of breath and cried out that she was bullying her mother.
Is this good enough?
Zhao Qingsong and Zhao's mother immediately walked back when they heard this. At the gate of Li's courtyard, they heard screams and the cries of children.
When they entered, they saw a scary scene, with Tie Zhu crying with blood on his face.
Zhao Qingsong didn't bother to ask any more questions, picked up his nephew and ran to the medical center.
The doctor at the medical point gave him a simple bandage and asked Zhao Qingsong to take him to the hospital in the county town.
Zhao Qingliu panicked when he heard this. Zhao Qingsong said a few words to Zhao's mother, without daring to delay, and carried his nephew to the county town.
Zhao's mother went home to call for help, and Zhao's father and Zhao Qingyang carried poles and went to Lao Li's house.
On the way, Zhao Qingliu had time to tell her that it was her mother-in-law who overheard her mother-in-law taking several hundred yuan to her, and went into the house to ask Zhao Qingliu to borrow the money.
Although Zhao Qingliu was honest, she was not stupid. She knew that if she took the money, she would definitely be a meat bun to beat a dog, so of course she didn't take it.
In anger, Mother Li actually grabbed her. Tie Zhu didn't want to see his mother being bullied, so he used his short legs to stop Mother Li, but Mother Li threw her away and hit the corner of the table...
He was so shameless. Li Rong became angry when he heard that and couldn't help but ask: "What happens next?"
"When my father took my eldest brother there, Dahai also returned home. When he found out what happened, he reportedly got angry at his father. He immediately asked the village party secretary and team leader to come over as witnesses and the family was separated."
Separating a family is not a trivial matter. Moreover, it is the Chinese New Year. No matter how confused the old Li family is, they will probably wait until the Chinese New Year is over. Li Rong asked: "Have they been divided?"
"That's for sure." Zhao Qingsong said, "My father and eldest brother are all here, and the old man from the Li family doesn't dare to speak at all. His stepmother agrees to share, but she wants two hundred yuan."
Li Rong laughed angrily: "Where did she get such a big face?"
"Of course I won't give it to her. She pushed Tiezhu into the hospital and paid dozens of dollars for medical expenses. She asked her to pay for it with a receipt. The village party secretary and team leader were both there. Tiezhu was the grandson of Li's family.
The old man at home doesn't dare to speak for the stepmother at all. She can't afford the money, so she's just happy to separate the family."
"Just break up. If you leave those blood-sucking insects, my life will be better and better."
"young married woman."
"Um?"
"Eldest sister may have to live at home for a while and wait until the house is built in the spring before going back to live there." Zhao Qingsong rubbed Li Rong's hair, his face softened.
"Let's just live there. After the Chinese New Year, we have to go back to our own small kitchen so we don't affect each other. I quite like lotus flowers."
Zhao Qingliu's family settled in Zhao's house.
It was not until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that Li and Rong moved back to their own small kitchen to cook and ate separately from the Zhao family.
Only then did Zhao Qingliu suddenly realize that it was not that they were not separated, but that they only ate together during the Chinese New Year.
Dajiang Village is very cold in winter and there is no work. It is not until the snow melts in spring that the production team leader notifies the employees to start work.
Zhao Qingliu is married, not counting people from Dajiang Village. Like Li Dahai, he has to return to their production team to work, so that the work points can fall on them.
You can't be late for work, as work points will be deducted for being late. Lijiacun is not far or near next door, but if you don't want to be late, you have to get up very early every day. Zhao Qingliu and his wife are very hard-working. When they get home after work at night, it is completely dark.
.
They didn't have time to take care of the two children. Tiezhu was always taken care of by Zhao's mother, and Hehua was six or seven years old and couldn't do any work. She was taken around by her cousin (Daniu) and she became a little bolder.
No longer as timid as before.
Everyone got to work, and Li Rong was not idle either, thinking about something to do to make money.
During the Chinese New Year, even those who could eat meat at home were probably tired of eating meat, so she didn’t want to make braised meat just yet.
She didn't decide what to do, so Zhao Qingsong was busy with his own affairs first.
Zhao Qingsong saw Song Xiaoshan for the first time after the Chinese New Year. The latter's face was glowing. When he asked, he found out that Song Xiaoshan was introduced to a date during the Chinese New Year. After seeing the date, they got married in March.
"Okay, Xiaoshan," Zhao Qingsong was really happy for him, "I'll give you a big red envelope when the time comes."
Song Xiaoshan chuckled: "Brother, just come and don't spend any money."
How could his brother not say anything? Zhao Qingsong did not argue with him, returned to the topic and told him what he had to do.
Song Xiaoshan agreed to have sex with Zhao Qingsong without even thinking about it.
Li Rong finally thought of starting a business, making steamed buns and snacks.
The shelf life of these things is not long, and they are like snacks, not necessities. The market is not sure whether they are good or not.
