Chapter 34
Rural people deal with the fields all the year round, and they have to work in a hurry to finish work late. The Zhou brothers and sisters did not return until it was almost dark. In the middle of the afternoon, they asked the children to go home to pick up sweet potato seedlings, but the adults did not return.

Grandma Zhou cooks at home, and when her children and grandchildren come back, she will eat after washing her face, hands and feet.

Brother Zhou was born in the summer, and his real name is Zhou Xialong. His sister was born in autumn, so he was called Qiufeng. His parents hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes.

Sitting on the table, Zhou Xialong looked at a large pot of stewed pig's feet, as well as fried egg wedges, meatballs, and washed vegetables, and was quite puzzled: "Mom, what's the good thing today?"

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival." Grandma Zhou answered with a blushing face and took it for granted.

Brother Zhou's wife, surnamed Liu Tong, pouted slightly and did not believe her mother-in-law's words. She felt that there must be some reason, but she pretended to be stupid and didn't ask.

Zhou Qiufeng didn't ask anything, only Zhou Tianming, the youngest grandson of the Zhou family, praised his grandmother for her good craftsmanship without hesitation, and also won the old man's mouth with joy.

The Zhou family had a happy meal, the whole family took a shower, washed their clothes, and after a while, they went back to their rooms. The Zhou family’s children went back to his room to read a book, and Zhou brother and his wife went back to their room to watch TV.

TVs are not expensive these days, and the Zhou family is considered to be a relatively loose family in the village. There are several TV sets, one in the main room of the upper house, one in the hall of the Xiaoyanglou in the lower house, and one in the Zhou family's small couple's room. Come, it's convenient for young couples to watch TV and do some loving things between husband and wife.

After Zhou Qiufeng returned to her parents' house, she also bought a TV for her parents to put in the room. When her father died, she was afraid that the old mother would not be able to think about it, so she moved back to her mother's room to accompany the elderly.

Grandma Zhou and the girl went back to the room and turned on the TV for a while. Grandma Zhou pulled the girl and whispered, "Qiufeng, I have something to tell you, someone is here to match you today..."

"Mom, I'm not going to marry, I'll accompany you." Before the old lady could finish speaking, Zhou Qiufeng interrupted the old lady.

"Qiufeng, listen to me, and then decide before it's too late." Grandma Zhou was afraid that the girl's loud voice would be known to everyone, so she whispered, ran to the door again, and gently opened the door to look outside. , I didn't see my daughter-in-law coming to eavesdrop before I went back and sat down.

Zhou Qiufeng was obedient and did not refute immediately, her face was gloomy.

Grandma Zhou also guessed that the girl was in a bad mood, so she continued the endless topic: "Qiufeng, you are my girl, I naturally feel bad, but I am getting old, and since I got seriously ill last year, I feel more and more unable to do so, I can't be sure. I went there that day. What if I and I leave? Your brother is the brother born to your mother, so naturally he will not drive you away. You know what kind of person your sister-in-law is. I am with your father. You are serving us at home, she is still gossiping about you behind your back and disgusting you for living in your parents' house. This year, she has been talking more. If I am not here, I don't know what she will say. You can stand being pointed out three times every day. Four words? If you use up all your body and money, I'm afraid you will be kicked out to ask for rice..."

Zhou Qiufeng's heart is blocked and her throat is sore. In the countryside, the water splashed by her married daughter, no one will like her daughter to get divorced and go back to her parents' home. She has the protection of her parents, and her life is better. If those girls without parents get divorced, It is rare that there is a brother-in-law or sister-in-law in the family who accepts the aunt and aunt to live with the natal family, and can only live in another house or rent out a house.

When a woman is a girl at home, she has a family. Once she gets married, the family she used to give birth to becomes her mother's family. When she arrives at her husband's family, she is also an outsider to her husband's family. Therefore, once a woman gets married, it is almost as if she will never have a family again.

If you can't live your whole life in your husband's house, and you have no property or house, you have nothing, and you are truly homeless.

"Qiufeng, what people say is good, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own dog kennel. You still have to have your own home. It doesn't matter how hard it is, it doesn't matter how hard life is. Think about it, is that the case?" Grandma Zhou sighed when she saw the girl lowered her head, got up and went to the cabinet to pick up a bag of tomatoes and put one back for the girl.

Zhou Qiufeng bowed his head sadly, with many red fruits in his hands, still bowed his head, rubbed it a few times, took it to his mouth and took a bite, because he was very worried, he didn't taste anything at first, took two more bites, and raised his head in surprise .

"Have you tasted it?" Grandma Zhou smiled when she saw that the girl finally returned to normal from her lost soul.

"Lele gave it?" Zhou Qiufeng determined from the mother's expression where the fruit came from. She only tasted this flavor once, and she would never make a mistake.

"Yes." Grandma Zhou's eyes were filled with love and love: "That child is really a pitiful and lovable child. He has suffered so much at a young age, and it is not easy for him to grow crooked. Lele will bring this today. Buying people's hearts, saying she wants a new mother and asking me to help her match, stumped me."

Zhou Qiufeng was taken aback: "Mom, you said Lele invited you... to be a matchmaker?"

"Yeah, Lele said her family was poor and had nothing good, so she took this as a gift for the matchmaker."

"Why does Lele want to find a new mother? Who does she like?"

"Lele said that she really wanted the person who took her home from the street today to be her new mother, and she didn't know who the person who took her back home today. This is really embarrassing for me. Leqing has bad feet and can't do it. It's hard work, not to mention Lele is so big, and is about to go to college, probably no one wants to marry and endure hardship in Le's family, think about it, whoever married a girl is equivalent to raising a father and daughter, being a cow and a horse for half a lifetime, it really doesn't matter. How is it worth...

Alas, I feel sorry for Xiao Lele, and I am reluctant to reject her. For the time being, I say let me think about it, and when I figure out how to tell the woman, I will ask her who her new mother is.Lele thinks that his dad's life is not a problem. He wants to help his dad find a company, and it reminds me of you. It's not a problem for you, so after Lele leaves, someone will come to match you, so I'll say me Persuade you to see what you mean, Qiufeng, what do you think? "

Zhou Qiufeng was so shocked that she was the one who brought Lele back from the street today?Lele likes her to be the new mother? !

Her mind was very messy, and she didn't hear much about what the old lady said behind her. She was in a trance when she heard that someone else was coming to propose marriage to her. Her brain was even more confused. Is she the favorite new mother candidate?
The chaotic thoughts made her upset, and when the old lady asked her about her thoughts, she answered vaguely, "Mom, let me think about it and talk about it."

"Okay, think about it slowly, and you're not in a hurry anyway." Grandma Zhou readily agreed, but the girl didn't refuse directly, indicating that it was still possible.
