Southern daughter-in-law of a small boss in Northeast China

It was 12:30 for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Zhao Beiheng ate all the three coins in Zhao's mother's dumplings by himself.

It may not only be that brother Heng is lucky, but the main reason is that he eats a lot of food, and one person ate three plates of dumplings.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Zhi was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, "Unforgettable Tonight" was already playing on the TV, Zhao Beiheng sat next to him and rubbed his arm, "If you're sleepy, go to Westinghouse to sleep."

"What about you?"

"I'm not sleepy, I'm staying in this room to watch the New Year."

Bai Zhi originally wanted to say that she was not sleepy, so she opened her mouth and yawned, with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

Zhao Beiheng raised his hand and patted him on the back, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow to celebrate the New Year, you go for a stroll with me."

Bai Zhi nodded and stopped being aggressive, got up and went to sleep in the Westinghouse.

The two little ones were also sleepy and went back to sleep in their own room. Mother Zhao carried the sleeping Zhao Huanhuan over to sleep with the two little uncles.

Only Father Zhao and his two sons were left in the house.

The three of them were not sleepy, the old man slept less, and the second child took a nap in the afternoon, Zhao Beiheng pretended to be unable to fall asleep.

Zhao Beiheng lit a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Xintai to replace the pipe pot in his hand, "Try this cigarette, more than 100 boxes in Yellow Crane Tower."

Zhao Xintai grinned, "Tsk, why is this thing so expensive! Isn't it a waste of money when you smoke it out of your mouth? Why buy such an expensive thing?"

"How could my brother be willing to spend money to buy this, someone gave it to him?" Zhao Beilin also took one and tasted it.

Zhao Beiheng smiled and nodded, "Just this box, I've kept it all the time and I'm not willing to smoke it."

"Dad, second child, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Beiheng hesitated for a moment, "I want to adopt Huanhuan under my name."

"What?" Both father and son were stunned.

Zhao Beilin looked confused, "No, brother, why do you want to live with Ji Huanhuan?"

Zhao Beiheng lit a cigarette and took a sip, "Second brother, you are only 23 years old during Chinese New Year, so hurry up and find another one while you are young, and brother Qian will give you the bride price."

"I... I'm not in a hurry."

Zhao Xintai didn't say anything when he saw what the eldest son was thinking. Anyway, they both knew what they were getting up to, so he shouldn't follow along.

"That's what I think. The second child has a bad temper and has been a bear since he was a child. I don't mean you are not good, but what if you marry a powerful wife in the future and treat Huanhuan badly?"

"Then I won't get married!"

Zhao Xintai kicked his second son, "Don't say stupid things."

"Besides, you have to think about Huanhuan. When the child grows up and asks where his mother is, how do you explain to him? These old women in the village can't tell the day and poke into Huanhuan's ears. When the time comes, let him How can a child hold his head up in front of his classmates?"

Zhao Beilin stopped talking, pinched the butt of his cigarette for the last time, and pressed the end of the cigarette into the ashtray. "That's not a pain, brother... How can you find someone in the future if you bring a child before you get married?"

Zhao Beiheng laughed, "Leave me alone, I make a lot of money in business, and I can't find what I want to find in the future? Maybe I can marry a college student!"

Zhao Beilin's feelings for Huanhuan are very complicated. Although he is his own son, his mother's cheating has cast a shadow over the relationship between father and son.Sometimes he doesn't want to be alone with Huanhuan, he can't help but see if the child looks like him, and wonders if Huanhuan is his own species.

The seeds of doubt were planted in my heart, and once they took root and sprouted, they could never be pulled out again.Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had already seen it, and kept silent.

Zhao Xintai clicked his mouth after smoking, "If you two agree, then Huanhuan will adopt Hengzi. It just so happens that the household registration has not yet been registered. After the new year, the household registration will be directly registered under your elder brother's name. Your mother and I will help you with the child." Watch."

Zhao Beilin didn't speak, but nodded silently.

Zhao Beiheng stretched out his hand and squeezed the back of his younger brother's neck, "Just pretend that this marriage never happened."

***

The next morning, Bai Zhi was taken out of the bed by Zhao Beiheng before dawn.

"Hurry up and get up, and a junior will come to pay New Year's greetings and put you under the quilt."

Bai Zhi was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and acted coquettishly, "Let me sleep for a while..."

Zhao Beiheng was softened by his squeamishness, so he couldn't help but slow down his tone, "Get up and wash your face, and come back to sleep in the afternoon after dinner."

Bai Zhi dazedly put on the sweater, rumpled her messy hair and went to the toilet to drain the water. The sun hadn't come out yet, and the sky had just turned pale.The north wind whizzed past with the remnant snow making the little brother in his hand shiver from the cold, and instantly lost sleepiness.After urinating, I ran on tiptoe into the house, plunged into the bed, and didn't even want to get up.

Zhao Beiheng put on the woolen coat that Bai Zhi bought for him and straightened his hair in front of the mirror.

"Brother Heng, you are so handsome!" Bai Zhi surrounded the quilt with a foolish smile.

Zhao Beiheng raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't think that I don't have to get up after complimenting, hurry up and tidy up and someone will come to pay New Year's greetings."

Just as he was talking, his eldest sister's voice came from outside, "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad."

"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!" The child said New Year greetings in a childish voice.

Bai Zhi hurriedly put on her clothes and folded the quilt, and went to visit the New Year with Zhao Beiheng.

"Happy New Year, Uncle! Happy New Year, Brother Xiaobai!" Xiao Songzi ran over stepping on his small leather shoes, hugged Zhao Beiheng and kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay, uncle will give you a red envelope!" Zhao Beiheng prepared a red envelope of 1000 yuan for each of the children in advance, and the children basically subsidized the adults if they couldn't spend it.

Zhao Shufen saw a stack of one hundred bills in the red envelope and hurriedly returned it, "Why do you give so much, just give me 35 ten."

Zhao Beiheng stared and stuffed the red envelope into Songzi's small pocket, "Don't tear it up with me, this is for the child."

Zhao Shufen pointed at his head reproachfully, "You can just get used to him, this kid is always at home yelling that uncle is the best, making the two old uncles angry." He said so, but his eyes were full of smiles I mean, his younger brother is capable and Zhao Shufen can hold his head up even in her husband's house.

There are two children in Sister Zhao's family, the youngest is less than three years old and hasn't got a cold in the past few days, and the youngest son doesn't want the red envelope, so Zhao Beiheng can only put it away and think about buying things for the child next time.

Needless to say, Huanhuan, Zhao Beiheng also wrapped a red envelope of 1000 yuan. Zhao Beilin originally wanted to decline, but then he thought that Huanhuan was already the eldest brother's son in name, and he felt a little sour.

Bai Zhi also took out red envelopes, which she secretly bought on the day of the market. She prepared a total of ten red notes with 100 yuan in each.

"Oh, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, etc." Sister Zhao hurriedly pulled it from the child's hand and returned it to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi looked at Zhao Beiheng in embarrassment.

"Eldest sister, let the child hold it, Xiaobai is also wholehearted."

"I'm so sorry...Thank you, Uncle Bai."

The child smiled and rolled his eyes, "Thank you uncle."

After a while, Zhao Beilin, Zhao Beiping and Zhao Bei'an all changed their clothes and came out. The four brothers were ready to start greeting the New Year.

The Zhao family moved here from Zhao Beiheng's grandfather's generation, and there are a few relatives of the same clan who moved here together in the village.

Along the way, I met a lot of young people like them who came out to pay New Year's greetings. Most of them knew Zhao Beiheng, and when they passed by, they said hello, "Brother Heng, Happy New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year." Zhao Beiheng put his hands in his pockets and nodded.

When walking to the third uncle's house, Zhao Beiheng pointed to the door and said to Bai Zhi, "This is the sixth uncle's brother's house we met in Shandong last time, do you remember?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "I remember my surname is Zhang."

Several people went in to pay New Year's greetings to the elderly in the family, and the third uncle grabbed candy and stuffed each of them into a pocket.

Zhao Beiheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How old are we, why are we still stuffed with sugar?"

The third uncle smiled and said, "I am still a child no matter how old I am, by the way, Xiaoheng is the year of the ox, right?"

Bai Zhi raised her head and looked at the old lady, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

Zhao Beiheng nodded.

"It's time to get married."

Bai Zhi moved her toes and was really afraid of something.

Zhao Beiheng smiled and said, "I don't even have a date, so why should I get married?"

"Haven't got a date yet? Oh, you said it earlier! Third uncle will introduce you!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." A cough interrupted the old lady who was so excited about the matchmaker.

Zhao Beilin turned around and asked, "Brother Bai, what's wrong?"

"Ah? It's okay. Maybe the cold wind blows in the morning and my throat feels a little uncomfortable."

The third uncle looked at him and asked Zhao Beiheng in a low voice, "Whose child is this, why haven't I seen him so beautiful before?"

Zhao Beiheng frowned, "This is the accountant who works at my place. He didn't get a ticket to come to my house to celebrate the New Year together."

"Oh, no wonder. By the way, do you think what I just said is okay?"

"Ah? Anything is fine!" Zhao Beiheng nodded vaguely, and subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai who was standing in the corner from the corner of his eye.

Bai Zhi lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes, the words of Zhao Beiheng were all in her ears, the little pink and gray people in her mind hugged each other and wept bitterly: He agreed, he wants to find a girlfriend...

"Why are you in a daze, let's go." Zhao Beiheng gave him a hand.

"Ah?" Bai Zhi's face was pale, she nodded and followed them out the door.

Continuing to walk to the village, Bai Zhi lost the interest just now, and felt pain in her heart.

Gray villain: If I knew it earlier, why bother now?It's not like you don't know that he is a straight man who must marry a wife and have children, and walk the path of a normal person.

The pink villain was already crying out of breath: why?He is so good to me, his first kiss was mine, why can't he be with me!

Little gray man: does he know?

……

Bai Zhi wanted to cry aloud, but if she suddenly cried on a day like this, she would be insane.

When I walked into the village, I saw a group of people in front of me, who seemed to be discussing something.

"Fourth aunt is dead..."

"Huh? When did you die?"

"Last night, I heard that when his nephew came to deliver the dumplings this morning, he realized that the old lady was frozen solid."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not easy to change the shroud, is it?"

"No, the old lady put on her shroud in advance and lay on the kang, she walked away peacefully..."

Hearing what they said, Bai Zhi thought of the old lady who helped see the doctor a few days ago, and suddenly cried "wow", which caused the brothers of the Zhao family to look sideways.

Zhao Beiheng: "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhi shook her head.

"Old people are getting old, birth, old age, sickness and death are common occurrences."

Bai Zhi nodded, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down her face, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
