Chapter 498

"Father, how is the team? Uncle and uncle, are they all right?"

Seeing his wife coming in, Zhang's mother quickly got a bowl of cold boiled water.

Speaking of cold boiled water, Zhang's mother thought of her old son. If her Xiaowu knew that she would boast of herself, she would resolutely carry out her son's repeated orders.

After a good time, Zhang's mother is not as enthusiastic about going back to her hometown as her wife is. In summer, there are many dead mosquitoes in the village, and the food and housing are not as comfortable as in the city. She is getting used to staying in the county town more and more.

No, she didn't go back with her wife very much these few times. When I went back to see everyone was busy with farming, she quit with empty hands and was worried about being seen by others, why bother?

"The whole village is so busy that you hit the back of your head with your heels. Fortunately, you didn't go back. This time, as soon as the policy comes out, the canteen in the village will be disbanded after the busy farming season. Now everyone comes to me to ask where I can buy pots."

Father Zhang shook his head after finishing speaking. It will be different in a while, where to buy this pot.

"What did you say? Don't agree. The previous supply and marketing cooperative only allowed you to bring a broken pot to buy a new one. You said that if someone has a broken pot and doesn't make up for it, who is willing to spend that money? It is only when there is no pot that you have to buy it. Well, don’t let people buy it.”

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she didn't care about the dripping water from the wet towel in her hand, and stared at her wife closely.

Father Zhang smiled and said, "Am I stupid? Is this something I can promise? Let them deal with it first with clay pots."

"Sister-in-law and younger siblings didn't ask you to bring me a message?"

"I'm an old man. Why do they come to me when they have nothing to do? If they want to buy a pot, they will only look for the second child. Isn't that better than our old couple?"

"It's useless to look for it. Our second child is not as enthusiastic as Xiao Wu. It's really impossible. Let them use it first, so as to save them from writing letters to Xiao Wu and embarrassing my old son."

Father Zhang took the towel from his wife and wrung it dry and hung it on the washbasin stand. After a while, he shook his head and said: "I can't move at home, just one bite, it's not appropriate to give it to anyone. Brother, they won't write a letter to Xiao Wu. Think about it, even if Xiao Wu buys a pot, it doesn't cost much to send it back from thousands of miles away." few."

The old couple chatted in the room. After a while, the sound of Zhang Laoer shouting and Xizi opening the courtyard door came from outside.

"Why doesn't this kid come to work?"

"How do I know, there may be something urgent."

When Zhang Laoer came in, he didn't forget to ask Xizi to pour a glass of water. Taking the bowl, he rolled his eyes, "Your uncle is very picky, don't learn from this."

Xizi smiled at him, and said provocatively, "Second Uncle, don't use shampoo and soap when you have something to do, I can smell it."

"Brat, you've grown fat."

Zhang's mother patted him, "I think you are not timid, you don't save your salary after receiving it, and you will do everything you can."

"Mom, you misunderstood. It was given to me by Xiaowu two years ago, and I usually don't want to use it, so I wash it in summer. Really, there are acacias at home."

Father Zhang watched his second son beg for mercy after being beaten by his wife. The eldest grandson covered his mouth and snickered gloatingly, and slapped him on the head, "Are you happy? Go and pour your second uncle another bowl of water."

"Okay, my son is so old, he will not be unreliable in doing things. Let's see what happened with the second child first?"

Zhang Laoer smiled and said: "Father, mother is reluctant to hit me a few times. It's almost like scratching an itch. I'm just comfortable. Didn't I come here to see if you're back? I thought you had to stay until the busy farming season was over."

Father Zhang glanced at his wife, "Your mother ordered you to come back today, dare I?"

Mother Zhang was amused by him and laughed.

"The old man is talking nonsense."

Zhang Laoer can't hear the bad word 'death' now. He hurriedly made his mother spit on the ground, talking about longevity.

Father Zhang looked at his son curiously. I wonder if something went wrong? He doesn't know what kind of virtue his second child has? How can I be superstitious.

Zhang Er Er sat down for a while, chatting with his parents about homework. After a while, he said: "I heard that Mrs. Zhou fell down for a while. Do you think I should mention something to Xiao Wu?"

Father Zhang frowned, "Did the old Zhou family ask someone to pass the message to you, or did you find out?"

"Other people mentioned it unintentionally, and then I went to inquire about it."

Mother Zhang really didn't want to tell her son and daughter-in-law about this. If it gets involved again, the in-laws will not be bored to death. Others have never been to the capital by imagination, but she and her wife have seen it with their own eyes. If the old Zhou's family sees him, he will be so stubborn that he won't leave, and will make trouble.

She looked at her husband, hoping he would give him an idea.

Father Zhang also thought of this. What is a human face? If the old Zhou family really wanted to make a fuss in the compound, brother Zhou's face would be ugly, even if the reasoning was tenable, there must be someone behind him taking the opportunity to turn the truth upside down and smear it as much as possible.

"Has the old lady invited a doctor?"

"I went to the hospital in the city for a visit, but I didn't know what disease I had. They took the old lady home in a few days. Now I can't go to the field anymore, and I spend all day on the kang."

After Zhang Laoer finished speaking, he looked at the frowning faces of his parents and expressed his opinion.

"Father, the old Zhou family will not ignore the old lady. You forgot that the old lady has a retirement salary and a lot of benefits every year. If she walks away, these benefits will be gone.

So you and your mother, don't worry about being sick for a long time without a filial son or something. I think the old lady doesn't send someone to take care of her, but she is considering whether to inform Uncle Zhou, their father and daughter..."

Father Zhang shook his head immediately before his son finished speaking, "Old Zhou's family didn't notify us, so just pretend you don't know, and don't inquire, lest people find out."

After finishing speaking, he said to his wife: "Mother, I don't think Xiao Wu will come back this summer vacation. It's not safe to travel along the way. In addition to this matter, it's better for the couple to stay outside with peace of mind."

"Okay. I can save Jiaojiao from embarrassing if someone mentions this when I come back. Just say that we will visit them at the end of the year and tell them not to come back. Let's lie like this first, and we will talk about the future."

Seeing his nephew listening with relish and nodding his head, Zhang Laoer hurriedly ordered: "Don't tell your uncle in the letter, you understand?"

Xizi nodded when she heard this, but she didn't think so in her heart. Why are you hiding it from his uncle? What if they do something bad with good intentions. What a smart man his uncle is, he still needs to hide it from him. Secretly pondering how to write more appropriate. Well, the words of grandma and the others should also be written.

Zhang Laoer smiled with satisfaction. The child was quite obedient, without any doubts.

"That's the deal. We'll talk about it when they give us the message. You go and send a telegram to Xiao Wu to tell him not to go home."

Father Zhang made the decision, and the matter was settled like this.

Seeing that the matter was well discussed, Zhang Laoer got up and went to see his youngest son in front of the kang. I saw the little guy sleeping soundly, and the loud noise just now couldn't disturb him.

Zhang's mother joked: "Think of your son?"

"Hey... Is mother tired?"

"This child is the same as Ping An. He eats and sleeps. He eats and sleeps. He is easy to take. You just rest and let him go to the nursery. It's not that I dislike the aunt there. It's really not good. I actually caught lice."

Father Zhang didn't interrupt, just looked at the mother and son with a smile. Since my wife went to the nursery in the compound a few times, her vision has really improved. Whose children do not get lice, that is, big cities are particular about it.

He still remembers that several children in his family had too many lice when they were young, and finally shaved their heads when they had no choice. That is to say, since my wife has not been in the field and loves to toss when she has free time, the children are clean. Otherwise, if they stay in the field every day like in the past, who would care about these details of life.
