Li Su calculated the time, there are still two or three days before Jiangshan and Wei Yueer come to pick her up, which means she will have to stay in this place without toilet, shower and air conditioner for two or three days. How can I bear it!
Li Su looked at the surrounding environment with a dark face, and couldn't help but frowned in distaste. The original owner was originally a gentle woman, but after her husband passed away, in order to raise her eldest son, she forced herself to She changed herself from a little woman who didn't dare to speak loudly and blushed easily into a vicious and vulgar village woman. One can imagine the hardships involved.
The original owner lives in the countryside, and the only source of income for the family is a few acres of land. The original owner works in the fields every day and night for his son to study, and rarely cleans up the house. In addition, the original owner likes to be greedy for petty gains, and often picks up some rags Go home, so you can't even watch at home.
In the past, when Jiang Shan came back from vacation, he couldn't stand it anymore, he would tidy it up, and he could see people a little bit.
But since Jiang Shan was admitted to university, he has not been back for several years because of his work-study program, so the current Jiang family is no worse than a garbage dump. Therefore, when Wei Yueer came to Jiang's house for the first time, she was almost fainted by the smell in the house, and seeing Li Su, who hadn't showered for more than a month and exuded a peculiar smell, was also full of disgust.
This made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very unhappy when they met for the first time. It also laid the groundwork for the following.
Now that Li Su is here, naturally he can't be here anymore.
Li Su covered his nose and looked at the surrounding environment in disgust. Although there are only three earthen houses, at least they can be clean and tidy if they are tidy. Anyway, now that it's her, she can't bear it for a moment.
Li Su found a towel from the cabinet, tore it in half, tied it behind his head, covered his nose, and then started tidying up the house, first clearing away all the garbage piled up in the corner.
Li Su tossed and tossed all night, and the cart ran back and forth seven or eight times before he finally threw away all the rubbish in the house.
The Jiang family's house was built on the edge of the village, and because Li Su was very aggressive on weekdays, the relationship with his neighbors was not harmonious. But everyone is from the same village, and there is a college student in the Jiang family, plus everyone sees their orphans and widows, so they usually take care of Li Su. Many neighbors heard the movement of the Jiang family and came over to inquire. You know, on weekdays, Li Su would not allow anyone to touch those rags, even if the flies were everywhere in summer and the smell was overwhelming, he would not clean them up.
Li Su's unified explanation for this was, "Shanwazi will bring his wife back in two days. His wife is from the city and has to clean up the house. Although our house is poor, we must keep it clean. The daughter-in-law in the city doesn't even have a place to stay!"
The neighbors thought about it, so they believed Li Su's words.
Li Su spent another day cleaning all the corners and corners of the house, and scrubbed the only few broken furniture in the house. Although there were still some years of dirt that could not be wiped off, compared to before, It's been completely new.
Afterwards, Li Su spent another day tidying up the clothes at home, throwing away the old and out-of-shape ones, and washing the rest of the wearable ones, as well as the quilts at home. I took it out to dry in the sun, removed all the quilts, and washed them clean.
On the last day, Li Su boiled three big pots of hot water and washed himself from head to toe three times before he was barely clean. He cut his nails and trimmed his hair, and finally put on a patched but clean one. Clothes, waiting for Jiang Shan and Wei Yueer to come.
At the same time, Jiang Shan and Wei Yueer were sitting in the car, rushing to their hometown. The country road was a bit bumpy, Wei Yueer was not used to it, she was a little motion sick, and she was leaning on the seat and resting with her eyes closed. Jiang Shan looked at Wei Yue'er with concern while driving, and asked about her condition.
Wei Yue'er felt better, and was about to speak when she saw Jiang Shan's worried face, "What's the matter, husband?"
"Yue'er, it's like this, my mother, um, how should I put it. My mother is a rural person and a widow. You know, in a place like the countryside, it is not easy for a widow to bring up a child. So, my mother has a bit of a hot personality and is a bit harsh in her words, but she has a good heart, so don't take it to heart. Also, my family is very poor. I don't even have a brick house, only three earthen houses. What's the environment like? Yes, maybe..." Jiang Shan hesitated.
"Husband, I know what you said." Wei Yueer smiled innocently, sat up straight, and stared into Jiang Shan's eyes, "Husband, it is not easy for mother to raise you, I will be filial to mother. I am very grateful Mom, I raised you so well! When we got married, I couldn’t invite my mother to the scene. I was already very guilty. I will be filial to my mother in the future. Only at home, we will leave after picking up our mother, and we will not stay there overnight. It doesn't matter if it breaks."
Jiang Shan smiled wryly, if it was that simple, it would be fine, he doesn't worry about Yue'er, Yue'er is simple and easy to coax, a few good words can get things done, what he is worried about is his mother. When he got married, the reason why his mother didn't come was not that he disliked his mother, but that his mother was unhappy. She thought that she didn't tell her in advance when she was looking for a girlfriend, and she didn't show her the palm of her hand. Even the marriage was just a notice. She didn't ask for her consent, so she was unhappy and would rather miss the wedding of her only son.
Thinking about the upcoming first meeting, Jiang Shan felt uneasy, mixed with sadness and joy.
The car bumped for more than an hour, and finally stopped. Jiang Shan took off his seat belt, leaned over to undo Wei Yue'er's seat belt, and got out of the car.
Looking at the familiar plants and trees, looking at a few mud houses standing ten meters away, surrounded by villagers who came to watch after hearing the sound, Jiang Shan felt very complicated. On the one hand, it was the pride of returning home, on the other hand , but also the anxiety of looking directly at the miserable past. Wei Yue'er had never experienced such a scene, a little embarrassed and a little scared, she walked gently to Jiang Shan's side, and took Jiang Shan's arm.
Jiang Shan hugged her, "Don't be afraid, let's go home!"
Suddenly the door creaked and was pushed open from the inside, Li Su came out, seeing Jiang Shan and Wei Yueer, his eyes lit up, "Shanzi, you are back!"
Jiang Shan couldn't believe his eyes. He hadn't seen such a mother for many years, as if it was when his father was still there. At that time, his mother was like this, wearing clean and tidy clothes, standing by the door, seeing her , gently calling himself "Shanwazi!"
"Mom!" Jiang Shan couldn't bear it, let go of Wei Yueer, walked quickly a few steps, knelt down in front of Li Su, hugged Li Su's legs, and started crying.
"Okay, get up quickly, you're a grown man, and you're not afraid of being laughed at. Your wife is still watching!" Li Su helped Jiangshan up, patted the ashes on his knees, and said distressedly. Speaking of this life, what Li Su is most satisfied with is that Jiang Shan is a filial child, which saves a lot of trouble.
Jiang Shan was excited for a moment, but when he calmed down, he was also a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the surrounding villagers are very simple. Seeing him like this, they lost the initial sense of alienation, and finally found some shadows of the past.
"Shanwazi, now that you are promising, you have to be filial to your mother. It has not been easy for your mother for so many years."
"Yeah, fortunately, Shanwazi is capable. In the future, your mother will enjoy the blessing."
Some villagers stopped Wei Yue'er, "You are Shanwazi's daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law has suffered the worst from the boss these years. When Shanwazi went to college, the tuition fee was not enough. You My mother-in-law went to the county town to sell blood several times to make up enough tuition fees. As a result, when your mother-in-law was working, she fainted and fell down in the ravine several times. Your mother-in-law is not easy!"
The villagers said in a hurry.
Wei Yue'er had never experienced such a scene, she was embarrassed and frightened, she almost cried, her eyes turned to Jiang Shan for help.
But Jiang Shan didn't pay attention to her. It was the first time he heard about selling blood, and he was shocked and angry, "Mom, is what Aunt Zhang said true? Did you really sell blood?"
Seeing this, Li Su frowned and said: "Okay, okay, it's all in the past, you go quickly and bring your daughter-in-law here, she is a girl from the city, what happened to her, don't scare her."
It was only then that Jiang Shan came to his senses, hurried over and pulled the bewildered Wei Yue'er behind him, "Aunts and ladies, my wife is timid and shy, don't mind."
The villagers smiled kindly, "Shanwazi still loves his daughter-in-law! Well, don't delay you, go in quickly."
As soon as Li Su leaves, the village head will decide how many acres of land under her family's name, and rent it out to others for planting, and just give Li Su some symbolic money every year. If your family is lucky, you can get the land quickly, and you can earn more.
Jiang Shan took Wei Yueer's hand and followed Li Su into the door.
Jiang Shan almost doubted his own eyes, is this the home he has lived in for more than 20 years? The difference is too big!
Although it was tattered, it was clean and tidy, and there were some bright red flowers in plastic bottles on the table.
Wei Yue'er was naturally fond of flowers and plants. Seeing this, she immediately surrounded her with interest and looked at it.
"It's a wild flower on the mountain. We call it Tiannv flower here. It's everywhere in the mountains and plains. I just picked some and watered it. It can bloom for several days!" Li Su said with a smile.
"Mom!" Jiang Shan looked at Li Su, he wanted to ask Mom what happened.
"It's the first time you brought your daughter-in-law home. Although our house is a bit dilapidated and rotten, we have to clean it up. We can't even have a place to stay. So how about a simple tidy up? I didn't give it to you. Son lose face?" Li Su whispered.
With red eyes, Jiang Shan shook his head, "No, my mother is the best!" Jiang Shan understands that no matter when, no matter what the reason, everything his mother does is for him! He must be filial to his mother, and won't let her suffer any more.
Wei Yue'er stood quietly not far away, seeing the red eyes of the mother and son, she also felt her nose sore. In fact, on the way here, she was also very disturbed. When her parents and friends learned that she planned to take her mother-in-law back to live, they all tried to persuade her about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, cultural differences, and living habits. There were so many things, Wei Yueer was also very scared, and thought about simply refusing.
But facing her husband's expectant eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only bear it all the way.
But now, Wei Yue'er feels that her mother-in-law is not as scary as in the legend. Maybe they will get along very well.
