I’m Your Mother-in-law

Chen Mei has lived happily ever after for 30 years, how has she ever suffered from this kind of fussiness? She twisted Li Xiaocong's arm fiercely and widened her eyes: "What do you say about me? You say I am sorry, what am I guilty of, I gave birth to your eldest son?"

Li Xiaocong sneered: "Chen Mei, you can talk like this for a lifetime. If you have the ability, you will give birth to a young son for me? Which family in this village has no son or grandson? You two brothers have more than one son, and you still want to fool me. Woolen cloth?"

Li Xiaocong turned over, he couldn't stand Chen Mei's pretentious expression.

Chen Mei was so shocked that she was speechless: "Li Xiaocong, you're such a fool, my old Chen family treats you so well, you are ungrateful!"

"Your mother doesn't take you in anymore, not even Dabao anymore. Li Xiaocong, don't look at where you live. You are really capable of living with a daughter-in-law and eating a daughter-in-law. If it wasn't for my eldest brother taking you to do business, you wouldn't be right now. You bastard, can't do anything, can't do anything—"

"—Okay! I'm just a white-eyed wolf, okay! Comrade Chen Mei, don't look at your own abilities. Others' daughters-in-law can do laundry and cook, but you can't do anything. You still slapped your nose on your face, didn't you?"

Li Xiaocong felt aggrieved in his heart, and being with Chen Mei made people uncomfortable. Why didn't he feel this way in his own home before.

Obviously he made more money and his life was getting better and better, why is this woman still not satisfied?

When he was annoyed, he wanted to stay away from Chen Mei, so he left without taking his coat.

Chen Mei stared fiercely at the man's retreating back, and scolded: "If you have the ability, don't come back when you leave!"

The examination papers prepared by He Baishu for the old lady were prepared by several teachers in the school. They included Chinese, mathematics, and some simple knowledge of physical chemistry.

Chen Ke took the paper and read the test questions first, while Li Sijing and He Boshu sat on the side.

This old lady Chen's whole demeanor changed when she started the paper. She did the language test first. Although there is no need to take the test to teach the children to read and write, He Baishu still gave some junior high school Chinese test questions. Can lead junior high school students to memorize ancient poems together.

Most of the poems at this time were the poems of the people's sun, such as the spring snow in Qinyuan, so the first passage in the book was "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting."

In He Baishu's eyes, Mrs. Chen thought for a while, and did not write a word. He leaned forward and looked at it. It was a relatively neat pencil writing:

"I feel sorry for Emperor Qin and Han Wu, who lost a little literary talent; Tang Zong and Song Zu were a little less coquettish."

The second one is the more difficult "Zhongshan winds and rains turn yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river", Chen Kexin wrote: "Tigers and dragons are better than the past, the world is turned upside down and generous..."

No wonder the people in the commune recommended Comrade Chen Chunhua to him. If he hadn't had a pen and ink, he wouldn't have shyly led his grandchildren to read aloud in front of the entire Lushan Village.

Then there are the math questions. At this time, the math questions are all simple. Even in the first year of resuming the college entrance examination, it is only a simple function definition domain and coordinate equation solution, but the additional questions have problems such as definite integrals.

The math problems in front of Chen Ke are simpler, except for addition, subtraction and multiplication, the most difficult problem is the one-dimensional linear equation.

The more He Baishu looked at it, the more surprised he became. He even stood beside Mrs. Chen, staring at the examination paper that Mrs. Chen thought and wrote.

Li Sijing herself is a calm person, but she is worried that her milk will not be a problem.

He Boshu didn't dare to stand up, so she could only observe her milk quietly. Who knows, the more she observed, the more frightened she became. Her milk writing was like a divine help, and only at the end did she pause for a moment.

Moving down the test paper, the questions below are all about physics and chemistry.

Chen Ke has been a graduate student for four years and two years, so he almost forgot about the college entrance examination.

Physics Question: When something changes across a coil, an electromotive force is generated in the coil.

If Li Sijing hadn't been reading the chapter on magnetic fields recently, she would never have remembered the concept of magnetic flux.

When it comes to chemical decomposition of the molecular formula, the problem is only to write the molecular formula of water and the decomposition formula of sodium hydroxide.

Chen Ke knew the answer to this question, but she didn't plan to continue writing it.

She also didn't forget her identity. It would be strange if a 60-year-old old lady in the village suddenly became enlightened as if she had read a lot of books.

So when Kankan stopped writing, He Boshu saw that Mrs. Chen was sweating densely on her forehead, her hands were shaking, even the pen was shaking, and the table was shaking.

Mrs. Chen wiped her sweat, "Mr. He, I can't do that."

He Baishu looked at it, and it turned out to be physics and chemistry. Li Sijing said that Comrade Chen Chunhua understood physics, probably because he heard something from an educated youth before.

"It doesn't matter Comrade Chen, this question is beyond the syllabus. I think you answered the Chinese and math questions quite well!"

Seeing Mrs. Chen's depression, He Baishu continued: "Comrade Chen, if you hadn't stopped your studies, you would have achieved something."

"Really?"

Facing the happy eyes, He Baishu said, "Of course!"

Mrs. Chen: "Mr. He, I know that physics and chemistry are far from the standard of a teacher, but I, Chen Chunhua, volunteer to be an excellent language teacher and math teacher, teaching children simple knowledge, so that the students in Lushan Village will be better off. Children, get out of the cultural limitations of ignorance."

He Boshu was sour, and he was forced to go down because of that incident. He never got discouraged. As long as there is a world that can pass on books and educate people, it means that he is still valuable.

Today, an old lady in the village resonates with him, which He Boshu did not expect.

He Baishu is serious: "Comrade Chen Chunhua, I will immediately inform the commune of your situation, please be prepared and take up your post at any time!"

Chen Ke hurriedly stood up, her wrinkled face suddenly refreshed: "Do whatever the party tells you to do, and make gears and screws!"

--

The old lady Chen of the old Li family is really going to become a glorious teacher!

This news swept through every village house like a spring breeze in Lushan Village, and Zhong Lin, who was squatting in the fish pond at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but be surprised. He thought of Comrade Chen Chunhua's positive face, but he felt deeply.

"Comrade Chen is a good son of the Party."

The members of the experimental team couldn't help but ask Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng. These two big guys don't have the thick face like Du Juan. They looked at each other and said with a blushing face: "Mom is amazing, it's for this family that she didn't play her best. talent."

Zhong Lin smiled and said to the two of them, "You have to do your best, but don't let your mother Comrade Chen compare you!"

Now, Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng have been recognized by the entire experimental team with their solid efforts. Even Pang Qing, who used to look down on others, has corrected his anxiety and will tell the two village men from time to time what they have learned.

Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng naturally worked hard to receive them. No, if they didn't understand it, they didn't have time to ask, so they went back and asked Mrs. Chen.

"Mom, what is the principle of the unity of biology and environment?"

The old lady Chen, who was eating, was silent for a moment. She looked at Li Weiguo, who had a sincere look on her face.

Okay, the entire Lao Li family has collectively become a five-good learning family.

Not to mention, the villagers are still dubious about the fact that Mrs. Chen has become a glorious people's teacher.

But with one more Chen Chunhua, the county's school can actually charge more children of seven or eight years old to read and write, and there is no tuition fee, just take an egg.

This is the welfare that the people's commune fights for the poor, middle and lower peasants in Lushan Village.

The original class did not move, but now there is another calligraphy class, and the teacher is Chen Chunhua. Now, the farmers in Lushan Village have sent over all the children who can't do anything at home and hope to learn Braille.

The ones that can be sent are the ones that the family likes. Chen Chunhua saw that most of them were boys.

This patriarchal situation cannot be completely eliminated in thirty or forty years, but it will always get better and better.

He Boshu led a few teachers and stood behind to watch Comrade Chen Chunhua teach.

Facing this group of dazed and ignorant eyes, Chen Ke smiled kindly and kindly, "Let's learn to write our own name first, and report to the stage with the name."

The blackboard writing on the wooden chalkboard is straight up.

After school, these children were all so happy that they started talking, and they all happily said what their names meant. It turns out that Ergou is not a cheap name, but the second child in the family. It means majestic. He is there. Protect your grandparents.

This can be said to be a flower. When I got home, several old people in the family were still confused, but the name was a cheap name. How could it be convenient, how could it be so majestic? And whether this old lady can do it, it's not good to teach people to read names in class, they cost an egg!

Ergou fluttered his big, shining eyes, and made a flamboyant gesture: "I am a majestic soldier, protecting my parents and grandparents!"

"Being a soldier to protect the family and the country, good ambition!" Ergou's grandfather immediately applauded.

Ergou's grandfather is the backbone of the whole family. He clapped his hands, and the whole family applauded in unison. Therefore, Ergou's determination to become a soldier became stronger.

--

Chen Ke was lying on the kang in the middle of the night, and the system's sweet point reminder was like a lullaby to lull people to sleep.

Suddenly, there was thunder outside!

"Boom-" almost didn't startle Chen Ke, who had just fallen asleep. She had a history of heart disease, so she was extra careful about irritating things.

But Mrs. Chen didn't. Chen Ke clutched her heart and felt the steady beating inside. She slowly exhaled.

Looking outside, the thunder and lightning monsters outside the earthen window were terrifying, tearing apart the night like a strip of electrified whips, and after the violent thunder, the heavy rain fell into the Lushan village's mountain pass like a river pouring backwards.

This time, he didn't wake up the peasants in the village who had been working hard all day. Chen Ke stared out the window for a long time and slowly fell asleep.

When the sky is bright, the rain has dissipated, and the air is cool.

After a while of autumn rain and a layer of cool, winter is almost here.

Chen Ke got up from the kang and drank the spring water as usual, feeling refreshed immediately.

"Is Mom still awake?"

"Not yet, why are you panicking, why did you come back if you didn't go to work?"

Li Weiguo looked at Chunhua anxiously: "Comrade Zhong has an accident! It was raining so hard last night, and his old man secretly ran into the fish pond below. It took a long time to return to our village, and now he is unconscious!"

Chen Ke paused, Zhong Lin was unconscious?

She opened the door, Li Weiguo turned his head, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the backbone: "Mom, Comrade Zhong is unconscious, shall we send people to the county health center?"

"Should have been sent! What are his students waiting for?"

Chen Ke frowned, and followed Li Weiguo to the room where the experimental team lived. It turned out that it was not because the students refused to take Comrade Zhong Lao to the clinic. Comrade Zhong Lin saw that he was not awake, but he clutched the bed tightly and refused to leave, shouting "No. Go to the clinic."

Chen Chunhua shouted to the team members: "This person has lost his mind, hit him and walk away!"

"Comrade Chen, this is not respecting teachers."

Chen Ke was about to laugh, but looking at the anxious and serious face of the student, she also understood that a considerable part of the students at this time were in awe of the teacher.

"Life is more important than reason, hurry up!"

The students hurriedly carried Teacher Zhong onto the back of a sturdy young man, and the whole group rushed to the clinic.

After waiting for a day and a half, Zhong Lin was no longer drowsy. He refused to live in the health center, but the test team in the health center knew that he was sent from the top and forced him not to leave. eat.

The leader was not there, and the two men of the old Li family were also idle. Just as the autumn harvest in the village was over and distributed food, Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng lined up to get it.

Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng got half of the work points. This half of the work points was actually half of the average work points for the brigade.

Chunhua and Li Sijing did the whole thing, but the total amount was 100,000, which was much less than that of other families.

After all, the old Li family split up.

Li Weiguo didn't feel lost when he got the food. He stroked Chunhua's back lightly: "Daughter-in-law, don't work all day in the future, I will help you."

Chunhua took advantage of the situation to hold Li Weiguo and smiled shyly: "I didn't work all day. Mom asked me to rest. Now I eat much better, and I'm not tired at all."

Li Weicheng looked at his eldest brother and sister-in-law from behind. The eldest brother was really strong. The eldest sister took the small bag containing soybeans and food stamps.

He only had a bag of sorghum and sweet potatoes in his hand, and he even lost half of the food stamps. He thought of Du Juan. When he said that he would come to get the food, Du Juan didn't say to come with him.

Instead, Xiaobao said, "Dad is not tired, Xiaobao will go with you."

Thinking of Xiaobao, Li Weicheng's heart is warm, this child is more sensible than his mother.

He didn't expect Du Juan to be as diligent and practical as his sister-in-law, but he thought that Du Juan was willing to work hard with him to live a good life, not because he was afraid of being told by his mother, so he would not go to his mother's place to eat. She didn't want to eat white rice, but he was hungry. . Especially these days, hearing people in the village say that Du Juan is always looking at the educated youth outside when everything is fine, Li Weicheng feels more and more uncomfortable.

Li Weicheng went home and put the food under the cupboard. Du Juan came out of the room. She frowned and turned over: "Why is this enough? How can we eat?"

"If it's not enough, go to Mom's place to eat."

"I'm not going. Your mother always speaks ill of me and I don't want to listen. Let's eat at home."

Li Weicheng didn't say a word, Du Juan was not in the mood to save, and these grains simply couldn't last this year.

After Mrs. Chen got out of class and brought the children back, she saw Li Weicheng standing in the yard, wondering what she was thinking, "Why are you standing at the door?"

"mom…"

Li Weicheng whispered, and Chen Ke was clear at first glance. If he had something on his mind, it must have something to do with Du Juan.

"Go in and talk!"

--

Seeing Li Weicheng's thoughtful look, it was the first time for Chen Ke.

Regarding this second child, Chen Ke is actually the most optimistic. He is smarter than the first one, and he is not lacking in steadiness, and his vision for finding a daughter-in-law is really good. If Li Weicheng is a modern rich second-generation, then a squeamish girl like Du Juan who can't work might be able to experience the joy of talking about love.

It's only now in the 1970s, even getting enough to eat is a problem. Du Juan's heart is higher than the sky, so it's hard to live.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Weicheng: "Mom, I still want to live a good life with Du Juan, but she is not at home."

"You take Xiaobao with you during the day now, and Juan'er also helps Xiaobao wash and do it at night. I come back every day and I'm tired and can't eat enough. It's not a good day, but I still like Juaner. ,mom-"

Chen Ke was slightly surprised, the second child is really a seed of infatuation!

"Mom, Du Juan was not good to you in the past, and my son is not human," Li Weicheng's eyes turned red, "it's the home that Du Juan wants to split up, I didn't pull her hard, I always stood in front of her, I was afraid you would say She. Mom, I'm not filial."

"I always thought that my mother deserves to be good to us, so I don't think that my mother is also a human being who needs to be loved. As a son, I begged my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, I..."

The more Li Weicheng spoke, the further away Chen Ke felt.

To be honest, no matter how much Li Weicheng cried, the old lady Chen who was partial to him was no longer there, and she was indeed stuffed into this body by the system after she was really gone.

All the efforts Chen Ke is doing now is just to live a good life for herself, and the original old lady Chen is the one who really loves Li Weicheng who is crying in front of her.

"Don't cry, there's nothing to cry about."

Chen Ke didn't look at him, "Is he still a big man? Don't you just want to live a good life with your wife and come to ask me for a solution, and cry like you've lost your mother."

Li Weicheng sighed, "Mom, don't say that."

"Fortunately, I am now relying on the eldest family. I really went to you and Du Juan at that time, and I don't know how long I can live."

Chen Ke threw down these words without mercy, seeing Li Weicheng's face turning white, "Mom, no, don't..." He stared at Old Lady Chen with a helpless look.

"Okay, what a big deal!"

Take it when you see it.

"Can't Mom not want you two to live a good life? You and Du Juan can live a peaceful life with his wife. For Mom, it's better than anything else. Mom doesn't want Du Juan to be filial. Du Juan is your daughter-in-law and can be used when you are in bad health. Taking care of you and taking Xiaobao to be an upright person, you can be considered filial to support you for the rest of your life. Don't worry about mom, mom has the eldest Chunhua filial piety! "

Li Weicheng's eyes turned red again.

The old lady Chen changed her words: "From now on, you will come to the boss's house for dinner, don't bring your wife, and go back when you and Xiaobao are full."

Li Weicheng was taken aback, "Ah? What about Du Juan?"

"Second, don't bother mom. Mom is not someone like my younger brother and sister who lay down all day with nothing to do. Our mom taught me all day, so tired!"

Li Weiguo had gone back to the house long ago. If he hadn't waited for his mother to educate the second child, he would have rushed up long ago. He used to be not good to his mother, but now he comes to his mother for anything. What's the matter?

Li Weiguo has straightened his back now, because he is loved by his mother.

The most obvious feature is that he can even hide his private life when he speaks. Originally, Li Weiguo had the ability to speak out against others. He was the one with the lowest status in the entire old Li family.

But it's different now. Mom likes hard-working and down-to-earth people. People have to work hard to have a good life!

So when it comes to the second siblings, Li Weiguo complimented his mother and sneered, saying that Li Weicheng, who used to have a straight waist, has now fallen down.

"I'm not talking about you, the second child. Only my younger brother and sister come to eat at our house. I never thought about coming to talk to my mother. She lays down in your courtyard for a day and is more old than my mother."

Li Weiguo praised Chunhua as he spoke, "It's better for my daughter-in-law, who can go to the ground and cook. Mom washes her back and praises Chunhua for her meticulous work."

Chen Ke was happy in her heart, and her face was heavy: "Chunhua is good."

Ouch, Chunhua is standing at the door of the kitchen. Being praised like this by the man and mother, she is too ashamed to go out of the kitchen.

Where did Li Weicheng suffer from this treatment? He exhaled,

"Brother, you're right, Mom, I'll only bring Xiaobao to dinner today."

--

Du Juan lay on the kang for a long time, and waited until it was almost dark before getting up to cook. Li Weicheng stopped her: "Juaner, just make your own today. Xiaobao and I will go to mom's to eat."

Du Juan blinked, as if she had heard it wrong: "What? Are you taking Xiaobao to your mother's place for dinner?"

"Well, I'm too tired to work, so I can't get enough to eat sorghum rice and steamed buns. I won't eat at home in the future, but at my mother's place."

After Li Weicheng finished speaking, he led Little Treasure, who turned back three times, to the boss's house.

Du Juan didn't return to his senses on the kang, Li Weicheng went to eat white rice, and will he not eat at home in the future?

Because she didn't adjust her mind, she was a little distracted when she was making sorghum rice. When it's done, take a bite, the sorghum rice that used to fill your stomach is really tasteless.

In the boss's room, Mrs. Chen saw that everyone had arrived, so she cleared her throat.

"From now on, before we eat, we will talk about what we did today. I, Chen Chunhua, taught for a long time today. I brought the children back in the afternoon and fed the chickens."

Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng were still at a loss, but Li Sijing understood and hurriedly followed:

"Honey, we went to math and Chinese today and learned the fractions. When I come back in the afternoon, I will help my mother to husk our sorghum."

Chunhua went on to say, "Mom, I'll cook, and I'll go to pick up food with Wei Guo, cook at noon, and husk the sorghum in the afternoon..."

Xiaoya and Xiaobao thought it was funny, and they scrambled to say: "Today we learned to read, it was taught by milk—"

Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng suddenly felt that it was not good for Comrade Zhong Lao to be ill. They didn't do anything today except to receive food, and they couldn't say a word one by one.

After everyone finished speaking, Mrs. Chen looked around for a week and said, "Okay, let's eat!"

After several days in a row, the process was like this. The old Li family used to talk about today's harvest before eating. After Comrade Zhong Lao came back, Li Weiguo and Li Weicheng smiled sincerely and said with relish that they were digging mud again today. , and it is through the discharge port, and it is also a line of fish.

Ouch, Chunhua felt very distressed when she heard that, she usually didn't know that Wei Guo was so tired.

In the evening, all the big girls and the little girls were asleep, and it was quiet in the dead of night. Chunhua stroked Li Weiguo's dark face and gave him a quick kiss.

Li Weiguo's whole body was shocked, and his body's natural reaction was to hug his daughter-in-law, and the warmth at night thickened.

The next day, Xiaoya frowned at Xiaobao and said, "Mom wasn't feeling well last night, and Dad was helping Mom get through her muscles and bones."

This is the answer that Xiaoya asked Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen said, oh, young is vitality.

Little Treasure is a boy. He was very curious about what it means to get through his muscles and bones, so he ran to ask the uncle, so Li Weiguochun blushed. Li Weicheng saw that the relationship between the elder brother and the sister-in-law was getting more and more sweet, but he felt that the elder brother was the real life Over the better.

Du Juan saw Li Weicheng's neglect. Since Li Weicheng and Xiaobao went to eat at his mother's place, she reminded Li Weicheng intentionally or unintentionally that he could bring back the white rice while his daughter-in-law was still at home.

But Li Weicheng, who usually looks smart, doesn't follow suit.

That evening, Li Weicheng came home in mud again. He changed his clothes and instructed his daughter-in-law on a routine basis: "Make the meal by yourself, you have to eat enough, you know."

Du Juan's emotions that had been holding back for several days immediately came out of her mouth crookedly.

"Li Weicheng, I'm going to eat at your mother's place too."
