In the hottest season in June, even people's hearts are disturbed.
He Xiaoyun played the fan until midnight the night before, and when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of people arguing fiercely outside, and dogs and chickens barking. .
The next day, Aunt Zhang came to the door early in the morning and told Wang Chunhua about what happened last night. She said angrily, "Jianming's dishonest thing, our surname Wei has made him lose face!"
The Qingshuihe brigade is divided into two teams. Most of the first team is surnamed Wei, and the second team is surnamed He. The same surname is the same family. The family tree goes back several generations and has the same ancestor.
For example, Aunt Zhang's man shared the same ancestor as Wei Zhenxing, and the Wei Jianming she was talking about was the son of his man's brother.
That Wei Jianming was hooking up with the daughter-in-law of the He family in the second team. He was caught last night. After a beating, he was taken to the threshing ground to kneel and break the rubble. His family came to knock on Aunt Zhang's house overnight. The door, ask her man to help decide.
When Wang Chunhua heard about it, she also looked disgusted, "Didn't his wife just give birth? She's just confinement."
He Xiaoyun also remembered that Aunt Zhang said not long ago that Wei Jianming's wife gave birth to a daughter, and since the first child was a son, the family members were happy whether the child was male or female.
"Yeah, Xiao Min took her two children back to her mother's house this morning, and said she couldn't afford to lose this man."
"Who is she embarrassing? The one who is really ashamed is the shameless one."
Aunt Zhang said: "Who said it wasn't? I heard that Xiao Min had a big belly before, and he got along with others. If he can't control his belt, he deserves to be beaten to death!"
That being said, he cannot really be beaten to death. Wei Jianming was brought back by someone surnamed Wei in the middle of the night last night. In the afternoon, the second team made trouble again. This time, even Wei Zhenxing and Wei Jianguo were killed. I called and didn't come back until dark.
Feng Qiuyue soaked her feet in the house. Her belly was seven months old and her feet were severely edematous. Soaking in hot water every night would make her feel more comfortable.
Seeing Wei Jianguo enter the house, she asked, "Are you back? Mom left rice in the pot, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Wei Jianguo nodded, and rummaged through the closet for a change of clothes.
"What about things over there?"
Wei Jianguo sighed, and said, "I want Jianming to pay for that family to marry another relative."
The daughter-in-law of the He family who stole someone has been driven back to her natal family. Now they want Wei Jianming to pay the money to marry the new wife. He has two legs.
"If you ask me, you shouldn't be helping me with this matter." Feng Qiuyue frowned slightly. Any woman who knows what Wei Jianming has done will hate it, not to mention that she is now pregnant like Xiao Min was then.
"They're all from the same family, so we don't care who cares?" Wei Jianguo didn't think so, seeing her finished soaking her feet, he came over to help pour water.
Feng Qiuyue turned to block him, "I don't need you, I will do it myself."
"You..." Wei Jianguo's outstretched hand was blocked halfway, and she didn't know what she was doing.
The footbasin was made of wood, it was a bit heavy, and it was half filled with water. Feng Qiuyue struggled to hold it, and just after taking two steps, the water in the basin swayed.
Wei Jianguo had no choice but to step forward and insisted on taking over, saying, "It's okay to take care of it, and I will have less contact with him in the future. Why are you angry?"
He went out to pour water, and Feng Qiuyue heard him read a sentence, saying that his temper was getting stronger and stronger. She lay down on the bed, thought for a while, brought the two fans over, and said in her heart, if you say I'm hot-tempered, I'll heat you to death.
This incident went on for several days, and then Xiao Min's family brother came over and beat Wei Jianming again, and then it slowly subsided.
In today's day, the sun can be scorching, and you can't go out at noon. Recently, He Xiaoyun gets up early in the morning to hunt pigweed in the field by the river. She stays at home all day during the day, and only goes out to wash clothes when the sun goes down in the evening.
One day, she was walking back with pigweed on her back, and saw a man from a distance on the way, who looked like her younger brother, and couldn't help standing still, "Xiaojun?"
He Xiaojun was bored, walking and shaking the dog's tail grass, heard the voice, looked up and saw her, and immediately ran over happily, "Second sister!"
He was also carrying a pannier with two watermelons in it, which wobbled all the way.
"School is on holiday?" He Xiaoyun asked. Her younger brother is in junior high school in the commune, so he can only go home on weekends, but today is not the weekend.
He Xiaojun nodded, "Mom asked me to bring you a watermelon."
"I'll just take it when I get home. It's so hot, why do you need to make a trip?"
He Xiaoyun was about to untie his pannier, but He Xiaojun dodged it and said, "No, I can carry it. Mom said I'll give you two, and I'll give you two too."
"There are only a few melons in total. You don't have enough to eat when you send them around." He Xiaoyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He was a half-grown boy, and he was growing fast. After a while, he grew taller again.
The two walked together, and He Xiaojun asked, "Sister, is Xiaohang at home?"
"Yes, he must be happy to see you."
After entering the courtyard gate, He Xiaoyun rushed into the room and shouted: "Hanghang, look who is here?"
Wei Yuanhang ran out, saw He Xiaojun, and shouted excitedly: "Little uncle!" Then rushed over like a small cannon.
He Xiaojun quickly put down the watermelon, and caught him with his open hand,
"Xiaojun is here?" Wang Chunhua came out when he heard the movement, and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down, Auntie has delicious food here."
"No, no, no..." He Xiaojun waved his hands again and again, "I still have to go to my eldest sister's house."
He Xiaoyun held him back and said, "The sun is getting brighter and brighter. Eldest sister will go in the evening and go to the house to drink some water."
He Xiaojun was pulled by her, and his leg was hugged by Wei Yuanhang. He couldn't run away, so he had to go into the house.
Wang Chunhua wanted to cook eggs, but He Xiaoyun stopped him. The young man was thin-skinned, so he couldn't help entertaining him too warmly. He just brought out the candy and dried fruits at home for him to eat.
Wei Yuanhang kept shouting at his uncle, so He Xiaojun took out a whistle from his pocket and said proudly, "I won this from my classmate, here it is for you."
"Thank you, little uncle!" Wei Yuanhang was so happy that he immediately put it in his mouth and started blowing.
He Xiaoyun asked He Xiaojun: "How did you win? You don't know how to bet with others, do you?"
"No!" He Xiaojun immediately said that he was the youngest at home, and his parents were busy with farm work when he was a child. He was almost brought up by his sisters. In front of them, he only had to be obedient.
"I ran a race with him, and he lost the run, and he lost several times before giving me the whistle."
He Xiaoyun saw that his expression didn't look like a lie, so she said: "That's good. However, I will go to high school in the second half of the year, and I can't think about it all day long. Your brother-in-law has a lot of books. I will write to him next time to see if I can borrow them." Look, Jianhua reads one every week."
"Ah?... oh..." He Xiaojun didn't expect to send a watermelon, and also sent himself the drudgery of reading a book. He didn't dare to refute, so he scratched his head and nodded.
In terms of educating her younger brother, He Xiaoyun is well versed in the way of jujubes and sticks. She gave him two pocket money when she sent He Xiaojun out just once, "You are growing up now, and you are easy to get hungry. You need to eat more, add an egg every day."
He Xiaojun refused to accept, "I don't want... Mom said you have no money."
"Who said that?" He Xiaoyun rubbed his head, "I don't have a lot of money, I still have some money if I give you a little money, kid, don't think so much, go back quickly."
He Xiaojun refused, but blushed, accepted it, waved to his sister and nephew, and ran home.
Of those two watermelons, one was put away temporarily, and the other was put into the water tank in the courtyard to splash. When the evening was enjoying the coolness, they were fished out and cut up for the family to eat.
The evening breeze is cool and the watermelon is sweet and refreshing. After a day of work, this is the most comfortable time.
"I don't know if Jianwei has received the letter." Wang Chunhua sighed suddenly while holding a watermelon in one hand and a big cattail fan in the other to repel mosquitoes for her little grandson.
Wei Jianguo said: "According to the time, it should be almost there."
The letter in their mouths has been floating on the road for nearly half a month, and it has just arrived at the army.
Lin Yuefei went to the gate to pick up things. When he saw Wei Jianwei, he took it for him by the way. As soon as he entered the office building, he shouted: "Old Wei, there is a letter from you!"
A hand stretched out from behind him like a ghost, and took the letter away.
"Drink!" Lin Yuefei was taken aback, turned around quickly, and said angrily, "Stay silent behind me, you're going to scare people to death!"
Wei Jianwei had just returned from the training ground. He was wearing a combat uniform with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a strong forearm. He saw the sender's name, which was Wei Jianhua, so he didn't open it right away, and returned to the office with the letter.
Lin Yuefei followed him, and asked in a low tone: "The little brother wrote it again? Why don't you say that the younger brothers and sisters don't write to you?"
Wei Jianwei paused, and glanced at him, "Sister-in-law wrote it for you?"
"Your sister-in-law is illiterate. If she could write, she would definitely send three letters a day! You don't know, when I was leaving that day, she was crying and reluctant, tsk tsk..." Lin Yuefei said more and more embarrassingly.
Wei Jianwei ignored him. In fact, he himself thought that there would be two letters, after all he purposely sent two letters back separately.
Could it be that she was angry because she didn't say goodbye when she left that day
Guessing in his heart, he tore open the envelope, and two pieces of letter paper fell out of it.
"Eh? Little brother wrote a lot this time." Lin Yuefei said.
Wei Jianwei had already thought of something, his brows that had been slightly frowned from the beginning were relaxed, and the tails of his brows were raised. He picked up the more evenly folded piece of letter paper and unfolded it. The neat and neat handwriting caught his eye, which was pleasing to the eye.
Lin Yuefei glanced at it, and wondered, "Since when did my younger brother's handwriting look so beautiful... Wait, this is written by younger siblings?!"
Wei Jianwei had already started to read it, and upon hearing this, he only gave him a haughty hmm from his nose.
Lin Yuefei stared, feeling that the letter in his hand dictated by his wife and written by his son was not good at all.
And there are so many things to say, those two or three pieces of letter paper are full of writing, what did they say
He was so curious that he scratched his head, wishing he could snatch the letter from Wei Jianwei's jaws and take a look.
Look at how old Wei is smiling, showing off his anger!
