Zhang Fengmei coughed lightly and attracted the attention of Widow Yuan and Zhang Tiezhu. At this time, both of them had no intention of avoiding suspicion, but Zhang Fengmei acted as if she did not know the relationship between the two.
She first comforted Widow Yuan for a few words, and then said to Zhang Tiezhu: "Tie Zhu, you are already a grown man. Are you really planning to stay single for the rest of your life? Are you worthy of your parents?"
Zhang Tiezhu looked at her sideways, puffing out a puff of smoke from a dry cigarette in his mouth, "Do you care if I'm a bachelor or not? I've got to mind my own business. Can you handle my worries?"
Zhang Fengmei endured it and did not curse on the spot, "Isn't it that I can't stand it? It's also for your own good."
She lowered her voice and said, "What kind of life does a man live without a wife? Looking at you, I feel pitiful."
Zhang Tiezhu’s fists were clenched, who the hell is pitiful! What the hell is this damn bitch doing here! I don’t know how cool Zhang Tiezhu is! Unlike other people in the brigade, the men work like old scalpers every day, and they have to be raised Among the whole family, who among them is as comfortable as he is?
Zhang Fengmei changed her tone and said: "Tell me about my sister-in-law. Look at Chen Xiuyun. Jianmin is dead. She has help from her mother-in-law and can eat meat every now and then. When the remaining two nieces get married, her life will not be long." More beautiful? No burden at all."
Then, her voice was a little softer, and she said to Zhang Tiezhu: "Chen Xiuyun is a widow, and you are also an old bachelor. You might as well make a living with her. You have been around until now, and you definitely don't want it." My child, it would be a good idea to live together with Chen Xiuyun. If you are interested, go find a matchmaker to propose marriage."
Yuan Chunhua's face dropped.
She disliked Zhang Tiezhu for being poor and unable to save any money, but no matter how bad he was, it was her granary and had to support her family. Why would Zhang Fengmei just open her mouth and let Zhang Tiezhu marry someone else?
Zhang Fengmei said with envy: "The daughters of the Chen Xiuyun family are good-looking, and they will definitely marry well in the future. Tie Zhu, after you and Xiuyun become a family, the three daughters will not be able to honor you as their stepfather? Then you can You will be blessed. I have a mother-in-law to take care of you and a daughter to be filial. Isn’t this a beautiful life?"
Zhang Tiezhu spat, his eyes full of thoughts, obviously thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
When Zhang Fengmei left, Yuan Chunhua got up and pinched Zhang Tiezhu, "What do you mean? Are you really thinking about Chen Xiuyun? Do you think, even if you don't look at your own virtues, do people like you?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Chunhua pouted at the door, "What the hell? She is looking for trouble for her relatives behind her back. She is really evil. Such a person will not die well."
Zhang Tiezhu touched his chin and said, "I think what she said makes sense."
Yuan Chunhua was furious. Didn't this bitch want to live with her before and say that they will do well in the future? She is not younger than Chen Xiuyun? Chen Xiuyun can't give birth to a son, but she can! Is Zhang Tiezhu blind?
Zhang Tiezhu said in a low voice: "Think about it, if I get married to Chen Xiuyun, won't I be able to help you in the future?"
Yuan Chunhua was stunned.
Okay, what a great idea!
"But last time that girl Jiang Xinyu saw you and me coming out of the forest belt, I can't guarantee that Chen Xiuyun also knows about our affairs. Will Chen Xiuyun be willing?"
Zhang Tiezhu said: "We will no longer interact with each other, let everyone in the brigade know that we have nothing to do with each other."
Yuan Chunhua rolled her eyes. She didn't know if Zhang Tiezhu was partly doing it for her, or if he was just trying to get rid of her so that he could live a good life in the future. She pinched his waist: "You have to ignore me in the future, but
It's just killing me. If I can't survive, I'll jump into the river."
Zhang Tiezhu reassured and comforted him.
What he was thinking was quite beautiful. If he and Chen Xiuyun got married, he would continue to associate with Yuan Chunhua, and suddenly he would have two daughters-in-law, whose life would be as beautiful as his?
Jiang Xinyu was washing her hair at home, and Chen Yi came with a book to deliver.
Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Yuzhu went to work on their own land. Jiang Pandi only slept here every day and left early in the morning.
As for Chen Jiajia, her eczema seems to have become serious again. When she went out today, she wrapped her head and face so that only her eyes were exposed. Li Yuezhen went to write a letter of introduction and accompanied her to the hospital.
Chen Yi moved a small stool and flipped through the book, while Jiang Xinyu washed her hair beside her.
This hair is black and shiny, thick and long. Every time Jiang Xinyu washes her hair, it is a big project. Washing her hair in winter is a pain. The house is not warm, and it takes a long time to dry it after washing it, and it takes a long time to bake it by the fire pit.
Only then can it be dried.
Simply because the weather is hot now, after washing, use a towel to absorb the moisture, let your hair hang down in the sun for half an hour and it will dry completely.
After washing and sitting on the stool, Jiang Xinyu had time to look at Chen Yi.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers today. At first glance, Jiang Xinyu thought it was from the past. Now he had to put on black leather shoes and a tie. It was really no different from before.
Her fair face glowed with a healthy pink color, and her wet hair stuck to her forehead did not diminish her beauty at all.
"Next Saturday, how about I take you to the county to watch a movie?"
Chen Yi handed the book to her and touched Xiao Hei's dog's head, which was squatting in front of him.
Jiang Xinyu said: "As long as you can persuade my mother, I will still be happy to go to the movie. But why should I go to the county to watch it? It won't be shown in the town?"
Chen Yi dried his shirt sleeves and said, "The county will release it first, and it will take at least a month for the towns, villages and brigades to take their turn."
Jiang Xinyu combed her long hair with a comb, "What movie is this?"
"It's from North Korea, "Village with Blooming Flowers". I heard others say it's quite beautiful."
Chen Yi continued to seduce her: "There is a photo studio in the county. Would you like to take a photo and take a look at it decades later? It would be interesting, wouldn't it?"
Jiang Xinyu was not interested in watching movies, but taking pictures really attracted her!
Due to the conditions of this era, some elderly people may not even have a single photo in their lifetime. Unlike later generations, who can take photos casually with their mobile phones, and can store a bunch of past photos in QQ space and various cloud spaces.
"Although there is nothing to see now, there is a temple ten miles below the county seat. Do you want to go and see it?"
Chen Yi saw the heartbeat in her eyes and added another layer of anger.
Didn't she say that he had never been with her in the past, and now he starts to make up for it, she should be happy, right?
Jiang Xinyu said: "Then help me tell my mother."
Chen Yi responded, "Would you like to go early in the afternoon and take you to a state-owned hotel for a meal?"
When Jiang Xinyu was about to make a move, Chen Xiuyun came in carrying a dung bucket.
When she heard Chen Yi's words as soon as she came in, she glared at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Go and make some egg water for Chen Yi and add some sugar."
The brown sugar is gone, so we have to add white sugar.
Jiang Xinyu said "Oh".
But Chen Yi stood up and said, "Don't bother Auntie, my mother is going to cook for a while. I'll see her off in the afternoon and I'll leave first."
Chen Yi didn't want to drink egg water. It was sweet and had the fishy smell of eggs. It took enough perseverance to swallow it.
