Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine - Chapter 68

When Gao Xiulian came out of the state-run hotel, it was already dark, but at this point, every household in the family area was lit with lights, not on the road.

When she walked behind her house and saw the black hole inside from the back window, she was a little puzzled. It was only after eight o’clock, so it stands to reason that her family wouldn’t go to bed so early.

But Gao Xiulian didn’t think much about it. She went around to the front yard and pushed the door into the house. As a result, she turned on the light and asked loudly, “Why are you turning off the light downstairs? Scared people to death!”

It turned out that after the living room was lit up, Zhao Feng was sitting in the middle of the living room.

Gao Xiulian took off the Jiefang shoes she had been wearing all day at the door. Although wearing these shoes for work was convenient, it was also boring, making it uncomfortable to stand for a day. As she took off her shoes, Gao Xiulian asked, “The children are all asleep? Hey, aren’t you used to throwing away the shopkeeper? Why are you so diligent today?” ,”What’s wrong with you?”

Only then did Zhao Feng say, “What are you doing today?” His tone was very gloomy.

Gao Xiulian’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly realized that although she did something wrong today, Principal Feng promised not to report it. Zhao Feng had no reason to know.

Thinking so, she asked back: “What else can I do besides work?”

“There are so many things you can do!” Zhao Feng suddenly yelled, “Gao Xiulian, you are capable, you can still spare time to go to the military district elementary school to slander and report at work!”

Gao Xiulian was yelled at, and her first reaction was to deny: “When did I slander Lin Wei, nothing!”

“When did I mention Lin Wei? How do you know who I’m talking about?” After Zhao Feng asked, seeing Gao Xiulian still shaking his head, he asked angrily, “You still have to deny it! Is there anything in your mouth? A truth?”

Gao Xiulian has never been very good-tempered. As soon as she came back, she was pressed by Zhao Feng. She couldn’t stand it anymore, and said, “Yes! I went to report Lin Wei, but I didn’t mean it!”

“You didn’t mean it? Then what are you?”

“I am, I am…” Gao Xiulian did it on purpose, she couldn’t think of a reason for a while, when she got stuck, she suddenly thought of her explanation to Principal Feng and the others, and said loudly, “It’s not Xiaomei! If she hadn’t said that the injury on her hand was Lin Wei Fuck, why would I go to school because I feel bad for her!” He also complained to Zhao Feng, “You are outside every day, and you don’t care about everything at home, how do you know what happened at home…”

“I don’t know? I don’t know that Xiaomei’s hand is injured, or I don’t know that she told us at the time that the injury on her hand was caused by pulling weeds? You have told the lie a hundred times, and you believe it yourself, right? Looking at the woman with the open mouth in front of him, Zhao Feng asked bitterly, “You still have the face to mention Xiaomei, that is your own daughter. You know that if a lie is exposed, it will get you into trouble, so why don’t you know that she is one of them?” What happens to a seven-year-old with a reputation for telling lies?”

Gao Xiulian had indeed deceived herself, so when Zhao Feng exposed her, she panicked: “I didn’t…”

“How dare you say you don’t! Do you want me to invite Principal Feng over and let her confront you before you dare to admit what you have done?”

Before Gao Xiulian could speak, Zhao Feng replied to himself, “No, you won’t admit it, you will still argue! Even now, you still don’t think you are wrong.”

Zhao Feng’s voice gradually lowered, and his head gradually lowered.

Gao Xiulian was very flustered. She felt that she should say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Zhao Feng: “I will apply for a new house.”

Gao Xiulian was stunned and blurted out, “We live here well, why do we need to change houses?”

There are not many vacant houses left in the family area, even if they are old houses, the area is not as large as the ones they live in now, and because of the disrepair, there are not many good places from the inside to the outside.

She didn’t want to change.

Listening to Gao Xiulian’s natural tone, Zhao Feng laughed, but soon became cold again: “Why do you want to change houses? Because of you! If you didn’t always stare at Lin Wei, report her work today, and quarrel with her tomorrow, I’m here. You live well, why do you want to change houses?”

Gao Xiulian refused to admit it: “When did I keep staring at her? I am, I am…”

Zhao Feng sneered and asked: “What? You want to say that you feel bad for your daughter again? It’s fine if you force her to lie, and because she didn’t tell the truth according to your wishes, you didn’t even give her lunch, how dare you say that you feel bad? Daughter?”

“When did I not feed her? Who told you? Zhao Mei?” Gao Xiulian jumped up immediately, “Isn’t she what I reported about Lin Wei? Why am I so unlucky to raise such a person? Daughter-“

“Gao Xiulian, that’s enough!” Zhao Feng stood up and shouted, “You’re still lying! Do you want me to go to the state-run restaurant and ask them one by one, so that they can help you remember whether you gave your children a meal today? You still have the face to say that you are unlucky, From what I see, my daughter will have eight lifetimes of bad luck when she encounters a mother like you!”

These words touched Gao Xiulian’s bottom line, she shouted: “Zhao Feng!”

Facing her roar, Zhao Feng was indifferent, he sat back on the stool, and said with a sullen face: “Gao Xiulian, let me tell you, I am now to inform you of the result, not to discuss with you. If you don’t want to change the house, you can, I will give you two One option is for me to change jobs and apply to go back to my hometown, and the other is for you to go back to your hometown by yourself.”

Gao Xiulian couldn’t believe it: “You want to drive me back to my hometown?”

“You can also apply for a job change and go back together.” Zhao Feng repeated the options he gave.

Feeling the toughness of Zhao Feng’s attitude, Gao Xiulian’s momentum gradually faded, and she began to think about his career change.

If it was half a year ago, Zhao Feng said that he wanted to change jobs and go back to his hometown, but Gao Xiulian would definitely not agree. She hasn’t shown enough prestige as the daughter-in-law of the deputy head, but she doesn’t want to go back to her hometown.

But recently, things went wrong for her, and it was okay to be disgusted by people. She was even sent to the back kitchen of a state-run restaurant to wash dishes, and she was shaken.

She has heard people say that if you change careers as a deputy regiment, if you are lucky, you can go to the city government agency or state-owned factory to be a leader.

Gao Xiulian felt that he had become the number one and two leaders of the unit, and that she was his daughter-in-law. It would be no problem to enter the office below as a secretary, or as a junior leader.

The small leader in the office and the kitchen in the restaurant wash the dishes, all fools know how to choose.

Gao Xiulian said, “Then you can apply for a job change.” She didn’t want to live in a broken house.

Zhao Feng did not change his face and said: “Okay, I will call my family tomorrow and ask my mother to clean up the house where we got married. As for the children, squeeze with us first, and then build two rooms for them when the conditions are better. live.”

Gao Xiulian didn’t think it was right: “What do you mean? Can’t you go to a good unit in the county when you return to your hometown?”

“Do you think that just because of your temper that offends people everywhere, do I dare to transfer to a good unit in the county?” Zhao Feng asked back, “Instead of waiting for you to make a big disaster and bring down the whole family, I might as well just go home and farm.”

Gao Xiulian blurted out: “When did I get into trouble?”

Zhao Feng sneered: “Are you too embarrassed to ask me when I got into trouble? Do you want me to tell you the number of pieces?”

Gao Xiulian still wanted to argue, but looking at her unrepentant appearance, Zhao Feng felt tired, got up and said, “Since you’ve made up your mind, let this be the case, I’ll go tomorrow…”

Seeing Zhao Feng’s determination, Gao Xiulian couldn’t care less about arguing, and hurriedly shouted, “Don’t!”

Zhao Feng stopped and looked at Gao Xiulian: “What do you want? Do you want me to change jobs and return home, or do you want to return home by yourself?”

“I promise to move!”

After Gao Xiulian finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Feng was still standing there, looking at her indifferently, not expressing her position or speaking, and her heart was even more flustered, for fear that he would be so impulsive to apply for returning to her hometown to farm, she gritted her teeth and said, “I will never provoke Lin again in the future. Wei, I will be honest and not cause trouble for you.”

“It’s not just Lin Wei, your colleagues in the state-run hotel, and the new neighbors in the future, you can’t provoke anyone. Next time, I won’t notify you again, but will send you back to your hometown directly.”

Zhao Feng finally made a statement, but the words he said were very cold: “Not only people outside, but at home, I don’t want to see such things as not feeding children, beating, scolding and abusing children.”

Gao Xiulian raised her head sharply: “When did I…” How about beating, scolding and abusing children?

“You still said you didn’t! The little plum you pinched in the morning still has a mark!” Zhao Feng’s brows were filled with anger, “Gao Xiulian, let me tell you, my children are not allowed to be bullied by you in the future! Don’t think I’m not at home often. , you can do whatever you want, I will let the children supervise you, and when you go to your new home, I will also make it clear to the neighbors and let them help me watch you, if I know that you are secretly abusing the children, we will divorce !”

At the beginning, Gao Xiulian was a little guilty, but when Zhao Feng finished speaking, Gao Xiulian exploded: “Zhao Feng! I am your wife, not a criminal, why do you let people monitor me!”

“I also want to treat you as a daughter-in-law, not to treat you as a criminal, but have you given me a chance? Look at what you’ve done, who can stand it with someone else?” Zhao Feng took a deep breath and said. , “Gao Xiulian, there is a limit to a person’s patience, and now, the old shígG Dujia I have little patience for you, if you still want to follow me, you will be honest in the future, if you don’t want to, No matter what, I will never tolerate you again!”

…

It was three days later that Lin Wei learned from Zhao Li that the Zhao family was going to change their house.

Because the two families were close, Zhao Li was afraid that someone next door was at home, and when she heard them talking behind their backs, she deliberately lowered her voice when she arrived at Lin Wei’s house: “Let’s go in and talk.”

Kind of mysterious.

After entering the room, Lin Wei first poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhao Li.

“It’s still you who pay attention, I always have tea when I come to my door.” Zhao Li joked while holding the enamel cup.

Lin Wei said, “I won’t pour it for you if you don’t want to drink it.”

“Don’t, I’m complimenting you, so don’t compliment you.” Zhao Li smiled, glanced at the potted plants on the coffee table, and asked, “Where did these flowers come from? I didn’t seem to see them when I came to your house last time. arrive?”

“I bought the flower pot when I went to the county before, and it has been empty. A few days ago, Sister Guo said that the orchids she planted on branches were growing very well. When she asked me if I wanted it, I had the cheek to ask for two.”

Sister Guo is the military sister-in-law who likes to grow flowers in the family area. The mandarin duck jasmine that Lin Wei had raised on the balcony before, and the flowers in the yard together with the durian trees were all given by her.

Zhao Li said with emotion, “You two get along pretty well.”

“Few people grow flowers in the family area.”

Not only are there few people who grow flowers in the family area, but no one wants to grow flowers these days. That’s okay, after taking care of it, it can only be seen that it can’t be eaten, and it is far less cost-effective than growing vegetables.

Zhao Li thought about it too, and told Lin Wei about the business: “Did you know? Zhao Feng and the others are going to move.”

Lin Wei really didn’t know, so she shook her head for a moment: “Who did you listen to?”

“Old Zhang said, didn’t his application for a house change get approved? Deputy Battalion Commander Zheng in their regiment also lives in an old house and wanted to change to a townhouse, but he was a little hesitant, so he came to him. I asked about this, and I came to my house on Sunday to come to my house. I guess I wanted to change it but I didn’t make up my mind.” Zhao Li clapped her hands, “I hesitated for a few days when I went back, but I went to apply for the house yesterday and was told that the house was reserved for someone else. already.”

“This other person is Deputy Head Zhao?” Lin Wei asked.

“Isn’t it him!” Zhao Li nodded, “You don’t know, the neighbors on the left and right of my house are so annoying after hearing about this, they don’t want to be neighbors with Gao Xiulian, and they even persuaded me, saying that everyone has been neighbors for so long, on weekdays. The relationship is also good here, if we move to the new yard, we have to get used to it slowly, it is inconvenient, and I want me to continue living here.”

Why did the Zhao family suddenly move? There is definitely no answer now, so Lin Wei put down the matter and asked, “Then are you moving or not?”

“Don’t move? There’s something wrong with my brain!” Zhao Li asked back, “Don’t look at how much they seem to be reluctant to let me go, I asked my old Zhang to revoke the application, and they could ask their men to call and apply for you. Believe it or not?”

Lin Wei wiped her sweat: “Is that so?”

“Of course, every time you go to my yard, everyone seems to be in harmony, right? I told you that it’s all superficial, everyone has their own temperament, and it’s common for them to get along with each other.”

It’s just that everyone is a decent person. When they quarrel, they will quarrel. After two days, they can still communicate with each other. No one will be like Gao Xiulian, who insists on making neighbors enemies.

But always making noise, it will inevitably hurt peace, anyway, Zhao Li has the same relationship with the neighbors. If it weren’t for this, when Lao Zhang said that he could change the house, she would not hesitate at all, and urged Lao Zhang to apply for a house change.

Compared with giving up the opportunity to change houses at the risk of having a strange neighbor like Gao Xiulian for the sake of shallow affection in the past, Zhao Li is more willing to be a ruthless person and seize the opportunity to live in a big house.

“That’s true.”

…

Before going to bed, Lin Wei told Zong Shao that the Zhao family was going to move to the house where Zhao Li’s family lived now.

Zong Shaozheng was leaning on the bedside to adjust his watch. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, “Where does Zhao Li live?”

“Isn’t the deputy head of their teacher Cao going to change careers? The house is going to be vacated. Sister Zhao’s husband applied for a change of house, and they all approved it.” Lin Wei said, wondering, “Don’t you know about this?”

Zong Shao was even more puzzled: “Why would I know about this?”

“I didn’t mention it to you?”

Zong Shao shook his head: “No.”

Looking back, Lin Wei really hadn’t dug it out from her memory. She muttered, “Then I may have forgotten. There have been too many things recently. You said that after they move out, will new neighbors move in?”

Zong Shao put the watch to his ear and listened. He felt that there was no problem. He put the watch on the bedside table before answering Lin Wei’s words: “In the long run, there will definitely be, but in the short run, I can’t say for sure.”

The Zhao family’s house is considered to be well maintained among the old houses. In addition, it is large in size and has many rooms. People who live in the old house now may be moved. It’s just that it’s a matter of movement, and it’s not certain whether you can make up your mind to move, so Zong Shao said that it’s not certain in the short term.

As for the long-term, it is not uncommon for military officers to change careers, get promoted, and transfer.

“If someone lives in, I don’t know what kind of person it will be.” Lin Wei said thoughtfully.

Zong Shao moved to Lin Wei’s side, hugged her and said, “It’s all about the future. It’s useless for you to think so much now. Why don’t you think about their family moving away. Shall we celebrate?”

Lin Wei looked up at him: “This is not good.”

“What’s wrong with this, Gao Xiulian doesn’t care about neighbors, why do we care so much? What’s more…” Zong Shao stretched out two fingers, pressed the corner of Lin Wei’s lips, and reminded, “It’s a little high. .”

Lin Wei: “…” I want to hit someone.
