There is a wife at home

The old man Zhang’s real name is Zhang Guofu. When he was young, he was short and thin. He was bullied by jokes in the same village when he couldn’t marry a wife. He was still a bachelor at the age of 28. Later, his aunt told him about a family with the same last name. Zhang, there is an older girl in the family who is 25 years old and has not yet married. She has big feet. Originally, the master of the Zhang family did not agree with the marriage, so she went back at that time. Zhang Guofu was lucky. His uncle went to the village to appeal, so he went by himself. , That was the most daring and correct thing Zhang Guofu did in his life. Murakami, the big-footed girl of the Zhang family, knew it when he asked. After he found it, he followed the girl of the Zhang family for a day, and saw her feeding pigs and planting rice in the fields After returning home, he boiled water to bathe his younger brothers and sisters, and made dinner for his parents. The braids on the back of his head were black and thick. If he disagrees, he will overeat!

What?Why not a hunger strike?If he really went on a hunger strike, his old lady would not necessarily let him marry him. At that time, everyone was so poor that they couldn't open the pot and eat a root of corn, and there were no corn cobs left. It would be good if he went on a hunger strike, and he could save a ration of food.

As a result, he was overeating, not to mention working on the ground, but he ate on time more than anyone else, and he ate endlessly. If it wasn't too hot, he would almost break the pot and pour it into his mouth, making his brothers and sisters-in-law Complaints abounded, and in the end, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage, and the two elders went to ask for a marriage with their old faces.

Ever since Zhang Guofu married the Zhang family, he really had shit luck. Let alone no one dared to bully him. He later raised pearls and made a lot of money. Although he was far from being rich, he was still hooked At least four of the ten or twenty children who went to school in the village at that time were in his family. The three sons and one daughter all went to school, and the youngest son was a college student. They each stayed in the city and bought a house and a car.

At that time, the three sons drove three cars back to the village to pick up the couple to enjoy life in the city. The two went there in a beautiful way, but within two months, the couple came back by themselves on the country road. When they asked why, they said It is said that they are not used to living in the city, so they can’t ask any other questions. In short, after that, their children came back less often. Sometimes on the night of New Year’s Eve, the old couple lived alone, and the villagers guessed more. Well, some say that they can’t get along with their daughter-in-law, some say that their son dislikes their parents, country people are dirty, and that they have been studying for so many years without being filial. In short, no matter what you say, don’t say it in front of Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang’s face will turn black, and it will scare you away. A flock of chickens and ducks.

Mrs. Zhang has been a down-to-earth person all her life, and she can endure all kinds of hardships, but she can't bear it at all. Don't gossip in front of her, don't care about others or her, she doesn't like to hear it!

Now it’s already noon the next day after seeing the doll in the red brick house. Zhang Guofu looked at the rice mixed with salty broth in the bowl, then looked up at Ah Qing and the sliced ​​meat in the doll’s bowl, pouted Unhappy, she turned her head to look at the woman who was busy boiling water on the stove, she held the bowl and asked, "What do you think? You really have to take care of them, big and small? How can I stop Ah Qing from going crazy?" Can you live? What are you doing this evil thing?"

Mrs. Zhang gave him a dissatisfied look, and said, "Do you think you have a heart? Isn't it pitiful for such a small doll, who is skinny and skinny? Tell me, you are not pitiful!"

"Poor, pitiful, so pitiful," Zhang Guofu nodded quickly, first responding, and then persuading, "But in this world, there are many pitiful people, can't we pick them all up and raise them? Let's talk about Ah Qing..."

"What's wrong with Ah Qing? I think Ah Qing is very nice, honest and kind-hearted. You said that the baby, if Ah Qing hadn't picked him up, would have become a frozen baby in one night. Since Ah Qing can raise the child Big, that means he is not stupid, have you ever seen a fool raise a baby?"

Mrs. Zhang is now determined to take care of the half-way father and son. In fact, after seeing the scene in the red brick house yesterday, she had an idea in her heart. Ah Qing said that he picked up the doll in the snow. She believed that everyone in the village knew that Ah Qing would not lie, and would blush when he told a lie. Since Ah Qing and this baby could become father and son, why couldn't she raise Ah Qing as a son?

Thinking of this, she raised her head and said to Zhang Fugui: "Fugui, let me tell you the truth, I also have selfish intentions in raising them, we are in our fifties, and it is probably impossible to count on those children to support us in the old age." Now, I want to send the baby to college. When he grows up and we are old, let him and Ah Qing dress us in sackcloth and filial piety. In the future, during the Qingming and Winter Solstice, there will be a weeder on the grave.” Zhang said, Zhang Fuguo also fell silent for a moment, with no expression on his face, holding a bowl, his old eyes were a little hazy.After a while, Zhang Fugui sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, if you really want to keep it, you can keep it. Although I am old, fortunately, my old arms and legs are still a little bit strong. They are always indispensable for food and clothing.”

As he said that, with a bit of anger in his heart, he said: "The money for buying crispy candies for you in the future may be saved to pay for the tuition of that baby boy. According to what Ah Qing said, this baby is probably worth four or five dollars." It’s old, and there are people like him who go to kindergarten in other families, the conditions are better now than ours, and they will definitely be looked down upon when they grow up illiterate.”

Zhang Fugui agreed, no matter how strong the Zhang family is, she is still a woman. When she heard that she was about to shed tears, she nodded and said, "Hey, that's fine, I won't eat it. I won't eat it in the future. I will leave it for the children to go to school. I’ll boil water for them to take a good bath in a while, and then take them to Liu Guaizi’s place to have their heads shaved, and buy some cloth to make some decent clothes for them.”

Zhang Fugui frowned, but nodded without saying anything after all, "All right, as long as you're happy."
