First Marriage Then Love (Mr. Mayor Please Be Kind)

"Hey!" With a heavy sigh, Mr. Ye looked at Lin Baohe with emotion, "Lao Zhou is more blessed than I am. Meeting such a good family like you, it's hard for the family to be at odds with each other."

Lin Baohe hurriedly said: "Uncle, our family is actually blessed. To be honest, Yulan and I were worried about Chuxia's marriage in the past.

In the village, families with better conditions are willing to find capable wives. Our family Xia can't say that she can't carry her shoulders or lift her hands. Anyway, she can't compare with that diligent child.

It just so happens that her appearance is a bit inviting. When she was disobedient in the past, when Yulan and I talked about the future of this child, we couldn't sleep all night long, for fear that she would be deceived by some naughty boy.

This woman, if she makes just one wrong step, her whole life will be over. Fortunately, the child suddenly got the idea. But after the idea started, the child still can't compare with the capable child in work, and her body is weak. , decent families in the village are still unwilling to marry such a wife.

At that time, we were on good terms with Gangshun and his wife, so we thought about getting closer to each other, but Chu Xia and Hong Qi didn't like each other.

Because of this, Gangshun even beat Hongqi's butt to pieces... Anyway, my daughter's marriage made Yulan and I heartbroken.

Fortunately, this child was lucky enough to meet Xiaomi. So, to be honest, we are lucky. Without the Zhou family, Yulan and I would not be where we are today. Moreover, I might not be able to live a life of confusion. Know your own background. "

This was the first time that Mr. Ye knew the Lin family's affairs in such detail. He pondered for a while and patted Lin Baohe's shoulder: "According to my understanding of Xiaomi. If he can't meet a lovely girl, he won't be able to do anything smoothly. Returned home. So, fundamentally speaking, I still feel that the Zhou family is blessed."

Mr. Ye insisted so much that Lin Baohe smiled sheepishly: "Uncle, then both our families are blessed. You must be a very lucky person with such a good personality. The children in your family will eventually meet the right person." .”

"I hope, but let me tell you this. I feel much lighter. To tell you the truth, everyone else is living happily this year, but I am going through a lot of trouble. The child is not at ease. , the adults are unreasonable, it’s really life-threatening.

But Baohe, I can assure you. As long as my old man is alive, I will never let my careless girl get involved in Xiaomi and Chuxia's affairs. "

"Uncle, look at you, are you seeing someone outside again while talking?" Lin Baohe said with a smile. "I have confidence in my daughter and son-in-law. It doesn't matter if anyone interferes with them. They have a good relationship.

You are old. Don't make the relationship with your granddaughter even more tense over this matter.

Just let her be. Let the children solve their own problems! "

"As a father, you have a big heart..." Mr. Ye smiled appreciatively. "No wonder Chu Xia has such a good character. With a father like you influencing her, the child will definitely be good."

"Uncle, you praise me again."

"I only praise you when you deserve it."

"Happy New Year to Grandpa Ye. Dad, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." Zhou Mikang came over, greeted Mr. Ye first, and then took the big broom from Lin Baohe's hand with a smile.

"I had a great time chatting with your father-in-law. If something good happens to me when I go out on the first day of the new year, I will definitely be more successful this year than last year." Mr. Ye looked at Zhou Mikang with a smile, "I have such a good wife and such a good father-in-law. Mother-in-law, you must be filial."

"Don't worry, in my heart, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are no different from my biological parents. I will definitely be filial to them." Zhou Mikang smiled and invited, "Grandpa Ye, will you come to my house for breakfast?"

"Just tell me when you want me to go home. Do you need to beat around the bush like this?" Mr. Ye stood up as he spoke. He had been squatting for a long time and was a little dizzy. Unconsciously, he stumbled forward two steps. Zhou Mikang quickly helped him. She stopped him and asked worriedly, "Have you had a physical examination recently?"

Mr. Ye calmed down and waved to Zhou Mixang: "It's okay, it's okay. I just squatted for a long time. I'll just take it easy for a while."

Looking at his face, Zhou Mikang was a little hesitant. He wanted to help him in, but he didn't want to meet other members of the Ye family and listen to some cynicism, so he didn't want to help him in. Seeing that Mr. Ye's face was gray, he Somewhat worried.

Knowing Zhou Mikang's dilemma, Mr. Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night. I had a lot of fun chatting here and had less activities. I just need to go back and take a nap. That's what happens when people get old. No. Used.

I remember that when I was young, it would be okay to stay up for three days and three nights. Now, hey, forget it, let alone the bravery of a good man, you two should go home for dinner, don't keep the whole family waiting. "

"Uncle, are you okay with being like this?" Lin Baohe was blaming himself at this moment. Why did he say he was so happy and forget about Mr. Ye's age?

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Ye smiled and waved his hands, "I'm having such a good time chatting with you, how could anything happen? It's normal for some people to feel dizzy after squatting for a long time.

But Bao He, you are in really good health. You can squat for such a long time without any problems. My son is still a soldier, so he is absolutely incomparable to you. "

Lin Baohe scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "Uncle, my legs are not very good, so squatting is uncomfortable. I was sitting on a big broom just now."

"Really?" Mr. Ye shook his head in a funny way, "Tell me how speculative our chat was. I didn't even notice it while you were sitting there, haha..."

Lin Baohe didn't know what to say, so he could only touch his head and laugh.

…

Mr. Zhou learned about Lin Baohe and Mr. Ye for most of the morning, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Baohe, what were you talking about?"

"It's about the children." Lin Baohe said truthfully.

"This old Ye, when we are together, he can say one out of ten things I say..." Mr. Zhou laughed as he spoke, "It seems that he really likes you, Baohe, you have been living here anyway, I'll talk to him later and ask him to come and chat with you when nothing happens. It's not easy for Lao Ye in this life. It's rare that I can chat with you. You have the right to give me face and open up more. he."

Lin Baohe responded with a serious face: "Uncle. Please let him come here often. I am quite willing to chat with Uncle Ye. He is a kind man and speaks honestly. I am really willing to talk to him."

Feeling petty, Mr. Zhou joked: "So you don't want to talk to me?"

"No, no..." Lin Baohe waved his hands anxiously, "Uncle Zhou, that's not the same thing. We are in-laws, we are relatives, and Uncle Ye is... different..."

"Look how anxious you are..."

Old Mrs. Zhou interrupted Mr. Zhou dissatisfied: "You are so promising when you bully an honest man like Bao He during the Chinese New Year. Go, go, don't sit next to me, stay away from me."

"Look at this old lady, you still dislike me?" Mr. Zhou looked at his wife with a smile, "Are you unhappy because I don't praise you? Okay, let me tell you the truth, I, I'm more blessed than Lao Ye. I have such a sensible wife like you."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the big guy with an embarrassed look on her face: "Look at this old guy, he's just talking nonsense because he's having a great time during the Chinese New Year."

"Grandma, grandpa is telling the truth..." Mei Xiaofeng stared at Mrs. Zhou seriously. "I have known you and Grandma Ye before. To be honest, when we first met, I had a good impression of her and thought she was quite kind. As for you, you are a bit stricter. But after getting along with you a few times, you will find that you are sincere. She treats people so well. The more she gets around her, the more she feels weak. She is really unlikable."

"I agree with what Xiaofeng said." Lin Yanqiu echoed, "I felt the same way when I first got married. After being together for a long time, I realized that it is better to be a mother-in-law."

"I agree with what sister-in-law and Xiaofeng said." Liang Xiaohong now thinks that Mei Xiaofeng is good at everything, but she can't praise her daughter-in-law directly, so she puts Lin Yanqiu in front.

"You guys, just make me happy." Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and shook her head, "If outsiders hear it, I must be thinking that seeing this big family will make this silly old lady faint."

"Grandma, that's not true..." Chu Xia looked at her seriously, "There is absolutely a difference between this sincere praise and the false perfunctory. You can make a whole family surrender under your pomegranate skirt. What a big personality you have." Charming? Do you think outsiders would be jealous to death if they heard it?"

"This child is still under a pomegranate skirt..." Old Mrs. Zhou laughed so hard that tears came out, "With my current figure, I put on a skirt, how can I scare a lot of people to death? I don't know, I thought the old monster was coming. Woolen cloth."

The whole family was chatting and laughing, and when it was nine o'clock, they split up to pay New Year's greetings.

Yu Tao and Mei Xiaofeng were both pregnant. According to custom, they did not need to go. Among the new wives, only Chu Xia was left. So, the four brothers Zhou Mikang, Zhou Xikang, Zhou Zhongkang, Zhou Huakang, plus Chu Xia, started to celebrate the New Year with great vigor. journey of.

Most people just go in to say hello to the New Year and leave after saying a few polite words. Only those who are particularly close and familiar will sit down to have a cup of tea and chat for a while.

In one morning, all the relatives in the Zhou family had left, and the only ones left were their respective grandma's houses. After discussion, the brothers simply split up and went to their respective grandma's houses.

Zhou Xikang and Zhou Mikang went to the Lin family together in early summer.

When I got married, I met Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Uncle Lin, Lin Yanjun and Aunt Lin Yanmei in early summer, but I had never seen the third aunt Lin Yanfang and the fourth aunt Lin Yanfen.

In this regard, Lin Yanqiu also specifically explained to her that among the four sisters, she and her eldest aunt Lin Yanmei were the best. There was a gap between the third and fourth aunts and she had not been in contact with each other for several years. After the wedding post was sent, they asked Mr. Lin Mrs. Lin brought a red envelope, which was unexpected.

Seeing Lin Yanqiu's helplessness when she said this, Chu Xia didn't ask any more questions and just told her mother-in-law that she didn't mind such things.

After looking at Zhou Xikang and Zhou Mikang, he found that neither brother looked very happy, so Chu Xia asked tentatively: "Do you guys always pay New Year's greetings to grandma's family on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Zhou Mikang nodded: "Yes, I will go to pay New Year greetings in the first year of junior high school. In the third year of junior high school, I will go back with my parents for a reunion dinner. Don't worry, you won't meet your third aunt and fourth aunt today."

"I have nothing to worry about. I see that you are quite serious." Chu Xia said while coughing, "Can you not be so serious? This is to pay New Year greetings, not to kill anyone."

"Hey!" Zhou Xikang sighed and looked at Chu Xia with a wry smile, "My sister-in-law and Xiaomi have been married for such a long time, and they only met my grandma and grandpa on the day of their wedding. After that, they never went there again. Except for my aunt, I didn't talk to anyone. My aunt and uncle have been interacting with each other, so my siblings should feel strange about this, right?"

"There are a lot of discords between brothers and sisters. It's not surprising. My mother-in-law also told me. She has a normal relationship with her third and fourth aunts and basically doesn't interact with her. She has the best relationship with her eldest aunt, and they interact more with each other.

As for grandma and grandpa. Although the relationship with her mother-in-law is okay, in general, she still favors her uncle more because her mother-in-law once refused to help her uncle. Therefore, her uncle and aunt don't like her mother-in-law, so they naturally have less contact with her. "

Zhou Xikang couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that mom really likes my siblings. Yu Tao and I only found out the whole story last year after we got married."

"Listen to this. Are you jealous?" Chu Xia looked at him with a funny look on her face, "Brother won't be so petty, right?"

"I'm a grown man, how can I be so jealous? I'm happy for my siblings. Our mother's big taboo is the relationship with my grandparents' family. Therefore, when Yu Tao got married, although my mother liked her, she didn't want to mention it. Things about grandma and grandpa's family. From this point of view, it shows that mom really likes her siblings very much. However, since she was a child, mom just likes Xiaomi a little more than she likes me. Now she likes her siblings more than Yu Tao. It’s also very normal.”

"Brother. Why do I smell a sour smell?" Chu Xia poked Zhou Mikang, "What about you? Do you smell it?"

"I've long been used to it. My eldest brother has been willing to compare with me since he was a child..." Zhou Mikang reached out and patted his wife's little hand. "Don't pay attention to him, just let him feel sore for a while."

"It's not kind to show affection in front of me like this." Zhou Xikang said as he leaned back and closed his eyes, "You are sincerely trying to get me out of the car. Let me tell you, I am a thick-skinned person, so I won't It will make your wishes come true!”

"Brother, you think too much." Chu Xia looked at him funny, "If you get out of the car, doesn't it mean that the people in my grandma's family will see the joke? We don't do this kind of thing that is harmful to ourselves and others. I can do it."

"Xiao Mi, did you know what kind of wife you would get before you got married?" Zhou Xikang punched Zhou Xikang with a smile, "Why did you meet such an open-minded girl?"

Chu Xia smiled evilly and answered: "I want to complain to my sister-in-law. You said she is not open-minded."

Zhou Xikang sighed: "Compared to you, she is a little less open-minded. If Xiaomi joked with her like this, she would definitely take it seriously and secretly wipe her tears."

"That's because he never jokes. If the eldest brother said that, the eldest sister-in-law would definitely not take it seriously."

"Brother and sister, thank you for the compliment." Zhou Xikang turned around and cupped his hands at Chu Xia, who was sitting in the back row. "We will arrive at grandma's house soon. My brother and sister, just keep this mentality."

Chu Xia realized that Zhou Xikang was worried that she would be ignored when she went to the Lin family and feel uncomfortable, so he vaccinated her in advance.

This is looking down on her. For her, apart from the attitude of people who care about her, what does it matter to her how other people treat her? She doesn't even bother to talk to people who don't like her.

"No..." Having an idea, Chu Xia looked at Zhou Xikang, "It's not like there are many girls on my grandma's side who want to marry Zhou Xikang. Will they hate me to the core when they see me now?"

"You think I'm too popular?" Zhou Mikang shook his head with a funny look on his face, "Do you think I'm the meat and potatoes that everyone loves, and everyone wants to take a bite?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but to be fair, you are still one of the more sought-after people. I always speak with conscience in mind and will never deliberately put down others just to improve myself."

"Pull him down, you are simply promoting yourself. I am in demand, but you are busy trying to grab yours. Doesn't it mean that you are more in demand than me? Isn't that what you mean?"

Chu Xia widened her eyes exaggeratedly, "Zhou Mikang, you are so smart, thumbs up!"

"Take it." Zhou Mikang stretched his hand back without looking back, grabbed Chu Xia's paw and shook it, "In the future, you must learn to praise more and don't always speak in a negative way."

Chu Xia: "Shameless!"

"How can I marry you if I want face?"

Zhou Xikang: "..." Is this his cold brother? Oh my god, he wanted to pluck his eyeballs out and use them as balls to kick. Why was it that his perception was refreshed once he got to know this couple up close?

If he tells this scene to his mother, will she be shocked to pieces? Is there anything more shocking than having a son who has been raised for nearly 30 years being kept submissive and obedient by a 20-year-old girl?

"If you dare to go to Mom and make irresponsible remarks, I won't have you as a brother!" Zhou Xikang was warned by Zhou Xikang before he could figure out the reason for his brother-in-law, Mo Ruodi.

"Are you afraid that your mother will be jealous?" Zhou Xikang started to stir up trouble. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chu Xia's expression.

"Are you afraid that the world will not be in chaos?" Zhou Mikang waved to Chu Xia confidently, "Tell brother what you think."

"I don't want to pay attention to you." Chu Xia turned her head outside the car, "A pair of boring and childish brothers."

Zhou Mikang: "..."

Zhou Xikang: "..."

Are they being looked down upon?

"Uncle Su?" Zhou Xikang looked at a closing figure on the road. He poked Zhou Mixang lightly and said, "Is it Su Weimin?"

"Yes." Zhou Mikang nodded, "Don't pay attention to him. Do you think he appeared here for no reason? He simply regretted his decision and did this kind of thing on purpose."

"You mean he regrets filing for divorce from Yao Limei?"

"Why do you still need to ask?" Zhou Mikang curled his lips, "If you don't believe it, just watch. When we come out of grandma's house, he will definitely be guarding the car. If I lose, the eldest brother can make any request to me. "

"I won't make a bet with you. If you win, don't you ask me for anything you want?" Zhou Xikang snorted in his nose, "Don't think I don't know what your plans are. I'm telling you, there's no way."

"Why are you talking dumb?" Chu Xia looked at the two of them in confusion, then fixed her gaze on Zhou Mikang, "What are you hiding from me? We agreed to be honest."

"Big brother has been transferred to the medical preparation team."

Zhou Mikang only said this. I figured it out in early summer.

The so-called medical preparation team is the pre-war medical preparation team. To put it bluntly, it is the one who will go to the front line one day. But now, including some senior officials, they still feel that this battle cannot be fought. However, because of the hindsight in early summer. Zhou Mikang already knew that this was an unavoidable war, and of course he did not want Zhou Xikang to get involved.

Both brothers went to the front line. How will Lin Yanqiu live at home?

But the problem is that Zhou Xikang doesn't know Zhou Mixang's worries now. He made this decision probably because he hopes to make greater progress in his career and not to always be compared with his younger brother. Then, the gap between the two becomes bigger and bigger. .

Especially after Yu Tao became pregnant, Zhou Xikang became more and more eager to make a contribution, which can be seen from his recent work attitude.

Zhou Mikang tried to persuade him several times, but he couldn't listen. Therefore, he didn't want to give Zhou Mikang a chance and directly deprived him of his right to join the medical team.

Regarding this matter, Chu Xia was not very clear, so she deliberately pretended to be confused: "It turns out that the eldest brother is going to be my direct leader. Don't worry, I will definitely not go through the back door to make things difficult for him just because he went to the medical team. "

"Who said you were going to the medical team?" Zhou Mikang glared at her, "Just stay in the hospital and study in peace."

Chu Xia was stunned for a moment before realizing that she subconsciously felt that their group would all join the pre-war medical team, but she ignored that with the ability of the Zhou family, she could avoid participating.

By the way, Zhou Mikang had promised not to interfere with her work before, why is this attitude now? No, she had to give him face in front of outsiders, but she had to have a good talk with him later.

Thinking of this, Chu Xia quietly rolled her eyes and changed the topic. However, because of the mention of the pre-war medical team, several people were a little out of sorts, and they talked about nothing until they arrived at the door of the Lin family. outside.

A thick layer of firecracker crumbs showed the excitement last night.

Zhou Mikang got out of the car and explained to Chu Xia in a low voice: "My grandma's family has always had this custom. They never clean the house before the third day of the Lunar New Year. They say that the thicker the paving, the more prosperous it will be in the coming year."

"I know that many places in the north have this custom, but most of them don't clean the house until the first day of the new year. This is the first time I've heard of it."

Perhaps because he heard the sound of cars outside, a young man came out. When he saw Zhou Mikang and Zhou Xikang, he just nodded expressionlessly and turned back.

Chu Xia finally understood Zhou Xikang's previous intentions. It turned out that they were so unpopular in the Lin family! However, it is understandable that many people are like this. They always feel that others should help, and not helping others is heartless and unjust...
