Chapter 18: pissed off

"Be careful." A cry of exclamation sounded, and Zhong Ziqi, who was distracted, only felt that he had stepped on something under his feet, and he slid backwards. The expected pain did not appear. Opening his eyes turned out to be held by Zhao Zhengan behind him. He was lying in Zhao Zhengan's arms, looking ambiguous.

Zhao Zhengan saw his daughter-in-law not moving and asked anxiously: "Daughter-in-law? Does it hurt?"

Zhao Ning also walked over and asked worriedly: "Did you twist your ankle? How can I walk with care!"

Zhong Ziqi hurriedly got up from Zhao Zhengan's body, moving her feet only slightly tingling but not serious: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, I didn't twist it, thanks to Zhengan for helping me behind."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Ning complained and said: "You have to look at the road when you walk. How can you be half-hearted. If this breaks, how will you do business tomorrow? No one at home will cook..."

Zhong Ziqi interrupted him helplessly: "Okay, I know, I will take a good look at the road, little housekeeper" If you don't interrupt him, I might be able to say all the way...

Zhao Ning was unwilling to stop, and gave him a glance by the way.

At the fork in the road, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng took the wages given by Zhong Ziqi and went home. Zhong Ziqi walked home and found out that their yard wall had been fixed. No one could get in, Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied, remembering that the key was with Zhao Ama, and he asked Zhao Zhengan to wait at the door for a while to get the key.

Zhao Zhengan stood alone at the door obediently, and now he has no initial panic, because his wife will always come back.

Zhong Ziqi went to Zhao Ning's house to fetch the keys, and gave Zhao Amo today's food money and workers' wages. After a few words, Zhong Ziqi went back.

Zhong Ziqi went out of the village and walked towards her home. He raised his eyes and looked down. Zhong Ziqi was startled because he found three children gathered at the door of his home. About eight or nine years old, he seemed to be talking to Zhao Zhengan, and Zhao Zhengan also looked at them with a smirk and moved his mouth from time to time.

Zhong Ziqi stood there and watched for a while to make sure that these children weren't bullying Zhao Zhengan. Then he let go, and walked over, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked in a gentle voice: "Are you here to play with Zhengan?"

The three children are all boys, wearing clothes with patches. They are not afraid to see Zhong Ziqi, and look at him curiously. One of the chubby children takes the lead to speak: "Are you a fool's daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah, who are you?"

Another kid sniffed his nose and said, "We are the brothers of fools." The other two children stood up and sang their loyalties when they heard the words, and Zhong Ziqi snorted.

Zhao Zhengan kept looking at his wife secretly, for fear that he would not be happy to play with them. Seeing him smile at this time, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

Zhong Ziqi smiled and said that he was a little ghost big, got up and opened the door: "Come in."

Zhao Zhengan led the way into the yard and pushed the cart into the corner.

Three kids, look at me, I squeeze you in.

It just so happened that there were still some canned fruits that I brought today. Zhong Ziqi found out four bowls and poured one by one, then looked at the three children with glowing eyes, and asked with a smirk: "Do you want to eat?"

The child's eyes moved from the bowl to his face in an instant, hesitated and nodded.

"If you want to eat, you have to listen to me, and you will not be allowed to call him a fool in the future." Zhong Ziqi pointed to Zhao Zhengan and said, absolutely not allowing the word fool to appear in his territory.

"What do you call a fool?" A child asked suspiciously. They didn't know Zhao Zhengan’s name. Zhao Zhengan used to go out to work, and the children in the village were not common, so they were all strangers to each other. Later, Zhao Zhengan was silly. Playing with them, they just shouted fools as adults.

"Call... Call him Brother Zhengan, call me Brother Ziqi"

The three children hesitated and yelled obediently: "Brother Zhengan, Brother Ziqi"

Zhao Zhengan responded stupidly and smiled unconsciously.

Zhong Ziqi listened to the soft and tender homophony, and her heart was soft, and she waved her big hand: "Come on, one bowl per person. After eating, go to the yard to play, don't you know you are not allowed to fight?"

The three children and one Zhao Zhengan nodded together, and rushed out holding the bowl.

Standing in place, Zhong Ziqi shook her head helplessly and amusingly. Seeing the first and third children squatting in the shade at the door and having fun, regardless of them, she got up to take care of her own affairs.

Today he came back from the town to buy a lot of vegetable seeds. Before the autumn tiger arrives, you have to plant it quickly and harvest a crop of vegetables, otherwise you won't have to eat it this year.

He didn't want to always go to Wang Cuihua's to beg her eyes, it was too peculiar, Zhong Ziqi rarely thought badly.

In the yard, one of the children who looked slightly older ate the canned food in his bowl eagerly, holding the bowl and drooling at the other three people. He smacked his mouth, although he was greedy, but obviously had a well-educated baby. Will not rob and make noise.

But it was so pitiful and pitiful that it was even more painful. Zhao Zhengan had eaten half of it, and when he saw that he had finished eating, he generously handed him the bowl: "Eat, Xiaohu."

The child named Xiaohu hesitated: "You can eat, we each have a bowl, this is yours."

Zhao Zhengan insisted on handing him the bowl, and said innocently: "I often eat it, and my wife will make it for me, so you can eat it."

As soon as Zhao Zhengan's words fell, he immediately caused a few children to look enviously, eating every day, that would be really happy. They seldom have sugar in their family, and they will lavishly use some sugar to make a delicious meal on a happy New Year's Day.

Xiaohu took the bowl, and this time he learned from the other two sips, so that he could take a closer look.

Xiaohu's name is Zhao Yuenlang, a very grand name. This is from his grandfather. If you ask who his grandfather is, Xiaohu can proudly tell everyone that his grandfather is Lizheng in the village. His father's name is Zhao Hai, Li Zheng's eldest son. Zhao Hai's family is only loved by this kid but also has a strict education. Therefore, the young Huzi adds his grandfather's identity under this kind of education, and subtly develops the character of a small adult. Usually, the children in the village dare not provoke him. The little Huzi speaks loyalty, is fair and intelligent, and is popular. Very good, plus being Lizheng's grandson, he seems to have become the head of a child.

Little Huzi ate the bowl intoxicated, and at the same time asked Zhao Zhengan mysteriously: "How is your daughter-in-law treating you?"

Zhao Zhengan smirked when he mentioned his wife: "The daughter-in-law treats me best. Give me a warm place to live, and have enough food and meat."

Little Huzi said with envy, "Then your daughter-in-law is really kind to you, and I will also find a daughter-in-law who is kind to me in the future."

Zhao Zhengan was very contented, and he was very happy to hear others praise his wife.

"Brother Zhengan, I heard that your family is doing business?" A child asked. His name is Erzhuzi. His father is the only tofu seller in the village. He is also good, but he is smart but not bad.

Another child, Dabao, is also a child of an honest family in the village. Otherwise, people are grouped by similarities, and what kind of children play with what kind of people.

Zhao Zhengan nodded proudly: "Yes, how do you know?"

Dabao drank the sweet water in the bowl, smashed his mouth and said, "The whole village knows it, and what they said is terrible."

Zhao Zhengan asked curiously: "What did you say?"

…

Zhong Ziqi's vegetable garden was opened behind the house, don't get me wrong, it was not opened by him, it was opened by the Zhao family before. The ridges are all ready-made, and the surrounding fences are crooked and collapsed. Zhong Ziqi learned from the memory of farm work, carefully eradicating the weeds in each ridge, and then re-placing the ridges. The rest was seeding, and he got up to fetch water.

Not far away, I ran into Zhao Zhengan who came out of the yard. He asked nonchalantly: "Why did you come out? Where are the kids?"

silence…

Zhong Ziqi didn't hear Zhao Zhengan's reply and looked up at him in confusion, only to find that Zhao Zhengan's face was angered, a handsome face was tight, and his eyes looked at him for a moment.

Zhong Ziqi didn't know why his heartbeat missed a beat, but he didn't have time to think about it. He quickly put down the barrel and grabbed Zhao Zhengan to look around, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Is there a fight?"

Zhao Zhengan pursed his mouth and shook his head.

"What's wrong with that?" Zhong Ziqi was even more anxious when he didn't fight but was so angry.

Why is Zhao Zhengan angry?

Screen rotation:

The child named Dabao said, "The village said a lot of ugly things."

Zhao Zhengan asked suspiciously: "What did you say?"

Er Zhuzi took the look of the people in the village and said, "Shameless, you must be slanting your head and hooking up a guy, silly..."

Zhao Zhengan looked at the three in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Dabao scratched his head at a young age: "I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway."

Little Huzi knows a lot. Although he doesn't know what it means to be sloppy, but he knows what it means to hook up a man and shamelessly. That is a naked curse. He translated it to Zhao Zhengan very seriously.

Then Zhao Zhengan became angry and shouted loudly: "My wife is not like that, she is not!" After leaving the three of them, she went to find her daughter-in-law. After searching for a while, he couldn't find her, and he was even more worried. For the first time, he was alone. When he walked out of the gate, he didn't know where to go when his wife appeared.
