Zhang Laosan wanted to bite Ji Changze to death.
But under the big brother's cheerful smile (strong biceps), he could only wear a dry smile that was a little uglier than a bitter smile, and followed Brother Zhang away like a little chicken.
He left in disgrace, and everyone else said nothing.
Ji Changze sighed again: "I didn't expect that Zhang Laosan and his brother have a really good relationship."
After saying that, he looked at An Xiaolu again and said with a smile: "But my relationship with my brother is even better. Xiaolu, don't worry. My parents love me, and my elder brother and sister-in-law also love me. You will definitely marry me." It’s a blessing.”
An Xiaolu has been studying hard since she was sensible, and has never heard anything outside the window. When did she hear such sweet words, her face immediately turned red again, and she nodded shyly.
She believed that since Nagasawa was so good, her married life would also be good.
And the people nearby who heard Ji Changze say this: "..."
An Xiaolu doesn't know, how can they still not know
When it comes to marriage, it may not be a good thing for the woman if the man is loved by his family.
If nothing else, take a look at the status of those men in the village who are treated as darlings by their families and the status of their wives at home.
Who said that if the whole family is good to this man, they will definitely be good to his wife.
An Xiaolu is still too naive.
That's what he thought, but no one dared to expose Ji Changze's "sweet words."
After all, Zhang Laosan had just been taken away by his elder brother.
So, they could only stand there helplessly, watching Ji Changze, a gangster who had never had a good reputation in the village, happily leave with his silly sweet An Xiaolu.
"Eh… "
One person sighed; "This is really a flower stuck in cow dung."
Several others nodded in agreement.
Even if Ji Changze really became a worker, with his lazy and lazy temperament, his job would be ruined sooner or later.
Coupled with his misdeeds, he was still somewhat new to An Xiaolu when he was not married. They could all guess what An Xiaolu would be like when he got married.
Poor An Xiaolu, she was originally a promising high school student, good-looking, filial and sensible.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly become mute.
It’s so confusing.
***
When An Xiaolu took Ji Changze home, An's father was using crutches to cook porridge.
He is only in his early forties this year, but his hair has turned gray early, his face is dark from working in the fields, and his whole body exudes an honest and decadent look.
He should be decadent. After all, his family has been living a tight life since the separation. He finally gave birth to a good daughter, who is sensible, obedient and can read. Seeing that life is getting better, who would have thought that, suddenly, this This is what home has become.
Father An actually needs to take good care of his legs now, but he feels sorry for his daughter who is busy working alone at such a young age, so he uses crutches to do what he can to help.
Hearing the noise, he raised his head. When he saw Ji Changze coming in with him, his expression was startled at first, and then became even more despairing.
An Xiaolu agreed to marry Ji Changze for the sake of the family, which made An's father feel useless.
After all, his daughter had been studying away from home and didn't know the situation in the village, but he knew it very well. He also saw with his own eyes how Ji Changze was too lazy to work and how he still had to be taken care of by his parents even though he was so big a young man.
If a young man is not even willing to work on the ground to earn cents, what future can he have
In addition, Ji Changze's reputation has never been very good. I heard that he is not even willing to pour water at home, and insists on chewing the old to the end.
An's father has always been proud of An Xiaolu, his only daughter. Now that An Xiaolu is going to marry Ji Changze, a good-for-nothing gangster with a bad reputation, how can he be happy
After knowing that An Xiaolu had decided to get married without telling her and could not change it, An's father blamed himself and almost died of anger.
He didn't like Ji Changze, but An's father was not the kind of person who didn't know right from wrong.
Knowing that if it weren't for Ji Changze's gift, his wife wouldn't be able to be saved, and she wouldn't be lying in the house well now. Even if Ji Changze is not a good person, he is still kind to their An family.
So, Ji Changze saw that his future father-in-law was stunned for half a minute after seeing him come in, and then he didn't know what he thought of, with a sad look in his eyes, and forced a sad smile at him.
This smile is worse than not smiling at all. The words "forced smile" are almost written on his face.
If it were anyone else, I would definitely be unhappy.
But who is Ji Changze
There was no expression on his face, and he went up and called out with a bright smile: "Uncle, my mother asked me to bring some meat to see you."
Father An was beating his chest in his heart.
His Xiaolu!
Such a good Xiaolu!
Why would you marry someone like Ji Changze!
Oh my God! Why don’t you have eyes anymore
The person he would rather marry is an old man like him! !
While beating, when he heard this, An's father nodded sadly and said dryly: "Ah, that's right. You're so polite. You even give me meat... huh???"
Suddenly realizing that what Ji Changze had just said was sending meat, An's father's mournful expression turned into shock: "Meat??!"
Ji Changze was not surprised by his reaction.
After all, firstly, meat is expensive, and not only is it expensive, but you also need meat coupons to buy meat. For today's rural people, if they want to eat meat, they can only wait until the end of the year to kill the pigs and share the meat.
Secondly, even now no one is firing in the village, so meat is hard to come by.
It can be said that in this period, going shopping with a piece of meat in your hand is like going shopping with a wad of money in your hand.
He smiled and said, "Yes, meat. I went to my elder brother's house today. My elder sister-in-law asked me to bring it back for my parents to eat, so my mother asked me to bring a bowl."
As he said this, he specially showed the bowl of meat to An's father.
Really seeing the flesh right under his nose, An's father was a little surprised, but at the same time he felt a little calmer.
After all, Ji's mother allowed Ji Changze to send such valuable meat to their family, which showed that she still valued their family Xiaolu.
Father An is different from most men in the village who don't care about the affairs of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because when he first married his wife, Grandma An not only targeted his wife, but also targeted him.
It can be said that An's father experienced the bloody storm together with An's mother.
In addition, he only has an only daughter like An Xiaolu. Since his daughter was very young, he has been worried about what will happen to her mother-in-law if she gets married in the future.
Now that Ji Changze has talked about Ji's mother sending meat, An's father feels much better.
What? Mother Ji doesn't mean this
How can it be!
This is meat!
These days, everyone who has some meat is hiding it, but Ji’s mother sent Ji Changze to bring such a big bowl of meat. She must pay more attention to his Xiaolu.
Father An felt better in his heart, the expression on his face was no longer so sad, and his smile became much more sincere, and he excused himself:
"I'm so sorry. This is what your sister-in-law gave your parents to eat. How can you let us eat it?"
Ji Changze: "Uncle, just take it. Anyway, you will be my parents after a while, so it's the same."
As he said that, he looked at An Xiaolu with a smile.
"Xiaolu and I are about to get married. We are all a family."
An Xiaolu blushed again at his words. She stepped forward embarrassedly, took the bowl of meat, pointed to the cooking stove, meaning to cook it herself, and left with the meat.
After his daughter had received the meat, An's father could no longer refuse. He was only happy that "my daughter's future mother-in-law values her very much" and said politely to Ji Changze:
"How about you eat here tonight?"
He was sincere. After all, he could no longer regret the marriage. Since he couldn't regret it, he could only find a way for Ji Changze and An Xiaolu to cultivate their relationship.
As father-in-law and mother-in-law, they also try to be nicer to Ji Changze and try to make him feel the warmth of the family. They feel sorry for treating their daughter badly.
Normally, people would be embarrassed to invite others to dinner. An's father was also prepared, planning to persuade Ji Changze as soon as he continued.
As a result, the handsome future son-in-law in front of him happily agreed:
"Hey! Thank you, uncle, then I'm welcome!"
An’s father: “…”
He choked, and then he remembered what kind of reputation his future son-in-law had in the village.
Trying hard to keep telling himself in his heart, "This marriage cannot change Ji Changze's kindness to our family." An's father took a deep breath and showed a smile on his face:
"Come on, sit inside."
Ji Changze: "Hey, uncle, let's go!"
"By the way, uncle, do you have any fruit snacks or something at home?" He went to help An's father with a smile and said, "I've been walking all the way, and I'm really a little hungry."
This natural look makes you feel as if you are at home.
An’s father: “…”
Although he had known it for a long time, he still couldn't help but say it in his heart.
This future son-in-law.
How shameless!
The two were about to enter the house when an old lady's voice suddenly came from outside: "Hey, why do I seem to smell the aroma of meat? Where did you get the meat?"
Ji Changze found that as the voice sounded, the smile An's father had maintained just now disappeared immediately, and there was a faint hint of anger and aggrievedness in his eyes.
An Xiaolu, who was warming up the meat, also stood up. Her fair and beautiful face was full of stubbornness and she looked at the door, even clenching her fists.
With this reaction, he ran through the memories in his mind and knew who it was.
Father and mother An, grandmother An Xiaolu.
This woman is also a top performer. There was a famine when she gave birth to An's father. An's father was small and pitiful when he was born, and she had no milk to feed her. An's father's grandmother went around begging for help and finally got some goat milk to feed her. To the grandchildren.
Grandma An didn't know where she heard it from, saying that goat's milk is good for mothers, so she wanted to drink goat's milk every day, but Grandma An stopped her, saying that it was only this little amount, and he drank it again as a little baby. If nothing else, he couldn't get enough of the goat's milk. He was so hungry that he cried every day. If Grandma An wanted to replenish her body, she would eat eggs or drink rice porridge.
No one expected that Grandma An would hold a grudge against her biological son.
Because An's father was raised by his grandmother before he was five years old, it is difficult to tell whether it is her son or her mother-in-law that she holds grudge against.
Later, the old man passed away, and An's father's life became difficult. He suddenly changed from a hungry but not wronged child to a pitiful little boy.
Ever since he was a child, he was always the one who didn't have enough to eat at home, and he was always the one who did the most work among the brothers. However, he also received the most frequent scoldings, and was even beaten frequently.
Grandpa An just wants to enjoy the highest authority in the family and doesn't care about his son.
He just grew up.
When An's father married his daughter-in-law, he finally felt the warmth of the family. Grandma Pian An intensified, scolding and squeezing An's mother together. An's father protected his daughter-in-law, but she scolded her for being unfilial.
After all, she was the biological mother. Father An could only endure it until An Xiaolu was born. Grandma An disliked her for being a baby girl and even threw her into the cold water basin for washing clothes while father and mother An were working in the fields. .
How could a child like her endure this in the dead of winter
If An's mother hadn't come back and found out, An Xiaolu might have died immediately. Because of this incident, An's father, who had always been thinking about the kindness of his parents in raising children, exploded. Grandma An seized the opportunity and directly purged the son out of the house. .
Originally, when she left the house, everyone could live their own lives, but she still took advantage of the close proximity between the two families and would come to hang out from time to time. It was not like she had never done something like stealing money after finding it, and she was caught. When he arrived, he cried An's father was unfilial, and his mother wouldn't let him come to see her.
An's father no longer had much affection for her, but she always made trouble, claiming that she was not allowed to take things. She would go to the public security bureau to sue An's father for being unfilial, and would also go to An Xiaolu's school to make trouble.
People these days are afraid of meeting the police, and An's father is afraid of affecting his daughter's future, so he can only bear this tone.
An Xiaolu didn't know about these things before. She only thought that her father was worried that Grandma An was her biological mother, so he indulged her so much. Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until something happened at home and she became mute and stayed at home that she realized that Grandma An was relying on the love of her father and mother to be so unscrupulous.
But now she is mute and unable to reason. In the past, she only knew how to study in school and had no idea how to deal with it.
In the past, Grandma An still relied on threats to take advantage of her. Now, An's mother is lying in bed sickly, An's father has a broken leg and cannot walk at all, and An Xiaolu is mute and has little strength.
She immediately evolved into Ming Zhan.
Anyway, this family of three can't stop her.
Now that she smelled the meat, Grandma An's eyes lit up. She didn't even look at the faces of her son and granddaughter. She walked in directly, stretched her neck and smelled:
"Hey, it's really meat. It's great. Boss, your nephew has been craving meat these days. I will take this meat back and give it to your nephew."
As she said that, she reached out her hand to take the meat without being polite.
An's father quickly stepped forward with a cane: "No, Nagasawa brought it to us."
"Changze?" Only then did Grandma An realize that Ji Changze was here. She didn't take this young boy seriously and said, "Whatever I give to you is yours. I am your mother, and what's yours is mine. Why aren't you allowed to take it?"
As she said that, she reached out to take it again. An Xiaolu subconsciously tried to block it, but she pushed it away hard. Grandma An had been doing farm work all her life and was much stronger than An Xiaolu. With such a push, she still went towards the stove fire.
"Xiaolu!"
Ji Changze had sharp eyes and quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, so that An Xiaolu's face was not exposed to the flames.
But even this is enough to leave people with lingering fears.
Father An's face was livid with anger: "I didn't let you take it, put it down!"
"I am your biological mother. You are unfilial to eat your own meat and not give it to me! You should not have given birth to you in the first place. You should have been drowned. You are a bastard."
While Grandma An was cursing, her men took out the meat neatly.
Anyway, no one in the An family can stop her, no matter how weak or disabled she is.
She turned to leave, but Ji Changze strode forward and blocked her.
He was a bit taller than the old lady, and now he was looking at her condescendingly. Grandma An was not afraid at all.
She is old. If Ji Changze dares to do anything to her, she will immediately fall to the ground and scream in pain. Then he can still extort some money.
"What's going on, do you still want to hit me? Come on, am I afraid of you?!"
Ji Changze saw that the old lady's mouth was unclean again, and he was not angry. He smiled and said: "How is that possible? You are Grandma Xiaolu. That is my grandma. It's just a little meat. You can take it, grandma." Isn’t that what you should do when you take your granddaughter’s things?”
Grandma An was stunned, but she didn't expect Ji Changze to say that, but soon she became proud: "You know what's going on."
"Nagasawa… "
An's father looked surprised and pulled Ji Changze to speak, but Ji Changze patted his arm first: "Uncle, grandma is old, so I will help her go back. She is old, so we should be filial to her. "
As he said that, he showed a bright smile to Grandma An: "You think so?"
Grandma An became even more proud: "You are quite conscientious."
"That's right, I have a conscience."
Ji Changze chuckled, took the initiative to help Grandma An, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I will take you back, so don't tire you out."
As he spoke, he waved to An's father and An Xiaolu: "Uncle, Xiaolu, I'll be right back."
Father An and An Xiaolu watched the two people leave with blank expressions and looked at each other.
An's father: "Ji Changze, this kid, is so soft-tempered??"
An Xiaolu shook her head blankly, not knowing what was going on.
Then in less than ten minutes, they heard a commotion at Grandma An's house next door.
"Get out!! Get out! Put your things down!"
Grandma An was driving people away with a big broom, while Ji Changze still had a smile on his face. He moved his feet accurately every time, holding the bowl of meat in his left hand and a bunch of messy things in his right hand.
Grandma An's voice was trembling with anger: "Who told you to take my things?! Put them down!!"
Ji Changze's tone was innocent: "Grandma, why are you so angry? I am your grandson-in-law and you are my grandma. Isn't it normal for you to give me something?"
"fart!!"
Grandma An put her hands on her waist and yelled: "When did I give it to you? You f*cking got into the house and stole it yourself!"
"Why is it so ugly to say whether to steal or not? We are relatives. How could I steal your things? You think so? Isn't this what you gave me to see that I like it and that I am filial to you?"
"me!"
Even Grandma An, a veteran in the world, was rendered speechless for a long time by Ji Changze's lies.
She used her trump card: "Put your things down! Otherwise we'll see you at the Public Security Bureau!"
"OK."
Ji Changze was not afraid at all: "Then I'll see you at the Public Security Bureau, but grandma, don't these things belong to our Xiaolu family?"
"Fart you!!"
Grandma An: “These are all from my family!!”
Even if it belonged to An Xiaolu's family before and she took it over, it belongs to her!
"Okay, then let's go to the Public Security Bureau and let the police comrades take a look."
Ji Changze: "Your family bought this pen, so why does it have the name of Xiaolu High School written on it, saying it's a prize? Why do I think these pieces of cloth are only available in the city where Xiaolu went to school? ? Hey, you are awesome. You traveled so far by train just to buy a few pieces of cloth and this watch. Do you have a ticket to buy the watch at home? Why don’t I believe it so much."
Grandma An: "..."
How did she know that buying a watch requires a ticket and the pen has a name written on it.
She doesn't even know how to read!
I just knew these things were valuable, so I took them by force when I went to Anjia.
"And meat."
Ji Changze had no intention of letting her go, and continued to ask: "Did you buy this meat with your meat stamp? Where did you buy it? Who did you buy it from? Go to the police station. If you don't tell me clearly, you will be suspected. It’s all speculation.”
Grandma An: "...the malted milk essence you have is from our family!!"
She asked someone to buy it specially. She couldn't bear to give it to her son and grandson, so she hid it in her room and ate some every day. Unexpectedly, Ji Changze found all of it for her.
Ji Changze lowered his head and looked at the malted milk: "Oh... yes."
Before Grandma An could feel proud, she stopped talking and watched as Ji Changze put the things down, opened the malted milk, and sprinkled it into the air.
She was reluctant to eat or drink. After saving for so long, she was only willing to eat a little of the malted milk every day, and it was just thrown away.
Grandma An: "..."
At this moment, it feels like heartbreak.
Ji Changze even held his things and hid far away from the malted milk flying in the air, still smiling:
"Grandma, look at you, why are you so careless? You just spilled such a good thing."
Grandma An was almost furious: "Me! You! Me!!"
"Looking at you like this, you still want to say that it was me who spilled it? You are so good, why did I spill your stuff? Do you have any evidence?"
Grandma An: "...you, you, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"It's so funny. This is your yard and your malted milk has been spilled. It's none of my business. I think you're old-sighted. Otherwise, let's go to the police and discuss the matter of the pen and this watch. Hey, speaking of it, these things together can be sold for a lot of money. How many years will the sentence be for stealing them? Hey!"
Ji Changze covered his mouth exaggeratedly, with a look of surprise on his face: "It won't be indefinite, I will stay in prison for the rest of my life."
Grandma An: "..."
She said that going to the police was just to scare others. How could she dare to go to the police after having done so much
As Ji Changze spoke, he stepped forward: "Grandma, let's not waste our time. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau and ask the police comrades how to deal with this."
Seeing that he really planned to drag her there, Grandma An was so frightened that she quickly stepped back:
"Get out of here!!! Get out of here!!!"
Ji Changze could only stand there, holding a bunch of things, his eyes full of hurt: "Grandma, am I not your grandson-in-law? You just said that everything in my in-laws' family belongs to you. I am my uncle's future son-in-law, and I also It belongs to your family."
"Otherwise, I will stay at your house tonight. Seeing that there are so many good things in your house, why don't you give me, my grandson-in-law, a taste? By the way, I just saw some eggs in your house. I finally I like eating eggs. I can eat five a day, otherwise..."
Grandma An: Ahhhh! ! !
She collapsed, threw the broom away, ran back to the house quickly, and locked the door.
Ji Changze called a few times, but received no response. He could only sigh regretfully: "Hey, really, it's you who calls me filial, and it's you who ignore me. Grandma, it's really hard for you to understand."
After saying that, he raised his voice and shouted into the room: "But don't worry about grandma! I will often go to Xiaolu's house in the future, and I will meet you. I will follow you to your house again. We will have many opportunities."
"It's so long~"
Grandma An, who was hiding in the house: "..."
She never wants to go to An Xiaolu's house again! ! !
After making sure that Grandma An wouldn't come out, Ji Changze carried his things and strolled back to An Xiaolu's house next door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw father and daughter looking at him.
An Xiaolu's eyes were full of admiration. She turned around and ran into the house, took out an egg, and gestured that she wanted to make Ji Changze's favorite egg.
Father An's expression was still blank.
It happened that An's mother woke up in the room and screamed a few times, and he quickly entered the room.
Inside the house, An's mother was asking An's father if someone was coming, when she suddenly heard Ji Changze's lively voice coming from outside:
"Xiaolu, I like to eat scrambled eggs, put more oil, yes, yes, and chop some green onions."
An's mother recognized Ji Changze's voice, and the expression on her face suddenly became indescribable.
Nowadays, whoever is a guest does not consider the host's family, especially when oil is so expensive. Ji Changze can actually say such things when he comes to his future wife's house.
She opened her mouth and asked her husband hesitantly: "Is he from the Ji family? Isn't he a little too... too that?"
Father An suddenly came back to his senses.
Patting the uninjured leg: "It's good to be shameless!! It's good to be shameless!!"
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling that all the previous depression had been dissipated, and boasted:
"You are really my good son-in-law, hahahahahaha!!"
Mother An, who had no idea what was going on, said: "..."
ha? ?
