Volume 1, Unspeakable Absurdity Chapter 7, Behind the Passion(1/2)
Tiemin fell asleep unknowingly. When he was pushed awake, he saw his mother standing in front of him with a cold face. He sat up and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come here, I'll beat you to death for giving birth to my son." Aunt Zhou's face was full of resentment.
"What did he tell you?" Tiemin knew that Shengzi, who was always good at snitching, must have complained to his evil mother first.
Just as he was about to explain the situation to his mother, Liu Dongmei walked out of the ward with a urinal and said, "Tiemin, go and empty the urinal."
Aunt Zhou looked at Liu Dongmei coldly, as if she knew something.
She glared at Tiemin fiercely, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "We'll see how he takes care of you when your father recovers."
Tie Min wanted to explain a few words to his mother. When he saw Liu Dongmei coming over, he took the urinal from Liu Dongmei's hand and turned around to go to the toilet.
Aunt Zhou is also confused. She actually mistook Liu Dongmei for Wang Li.
Seeing Tie Min being so obedient to Liu Dongmei, he was furious. He gave Liu Dongmei a blank look and turned around and walked into the ward.
With a smile on her face, Liu Dongmei wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Aunt Zhou, but she received a blank look from Aunt Zhou.
There was a surge of resentment in her heart, and she wanted to stay and chat with the Ironborn to vent her dissatisfaction.
Tiemin finished emptying the urinal and walked out of the bathroom. When he saw Liu Dongmei standing there with a pout, he knew that his mother must have told the whole story. He lowered his head, rolled up the quilt and was about to go back to the ward.
"Tiemin, who is this person?" Liu Dongmei was holding back a lot of resentment, and if she didn't vent it out in time, she would explode.
She said in her heart, I serve your father with good intentions, why is this person trying to show shame to me? I owe her!
"My mother." Tiemin replied, turned around and left.
He didn't know Liu Dongmei's temper, but he knew what kind of person his mother was. No matter what impolite behavior his mother made, it was his mother. He couldn't turn his elbows outward.
Aunt Zhou carried a cloth bag and walked into the corridor of the ward. She heard Tie Min's snoring. She woke up Tie Min first, then returned to the ward. When she saw Liu Shoucheng, she was furious.
When Liu Shoucheng took Tie Min to the police station and beat him black and blue for a meal of stewed meat with sticks, today we met in the ward.
Liu Shoucheng took the initiative to greet Aunt Zhou, but Aunt Zhou ignored him.
"I got this illness thanks to Lao Liu's daughter Dongmei. She served me like shit and pissed, and she treated me better than my own daughter." Zhou Zhiqiang saw Aunt Zhou's hostility towards Liu Shoucheng, so he explained in a few words,
Aunt Zhou was confused all of a sudden.
How is it possible that Liu Shoucheng's daughter carries feces and urine for the head of the family?
At this time, Tiemin walked into the ward with a quilt under his arms.
Seeing that there was only one pillow left on Liu Shoucheng's bed, he blushed and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm so sorry."
"It's such a big deal, why are you so polite?" Liu Shoucheng said, smiling silly at Aunt Zhou.
Tiemin put the quilt on Liu Shoucheng's bed, and when he saw Aunt Zhou still standing there blankly, he knew that his mother was confused by what happened in front of her.
"My dad pooped in his pants pocket yesterday, and Dongmei cleaned it up." Tiemin's words woke up Aunt Zhou, the person in his dream.
She smiled brightly and said to Liu Shoucheng: "Oh brother, how can I thank you for this?"
"It's okay." Liu Shoucheng said with a smile: "Before Dongmei's mother died, she collapsed on the kang and lived in poverty for three years. She was the one who waited on her."
"I'm a mother-in-law, I can serve you however you want. But..." Aunt Zhou thought of the black girl just now, sending the ironmen to empty the urinal.
Aunt Zhou ran out of the ward, and Liu Dongmei was sitting on the bench sulking.
She ran over with a smile, took Liu Dongmei's hand and said, "Oh, my good daughter, I wrongly blamed you. I thought you were..."
Seeing Aunt Zhou's attitude, Liu Dongmei made a 180-degree turn. She also smiled and said, "Auntie, who do you think I am?"
"The person Tie Min fucked is a vixen." Aunt Zhou grabbed Liu Dongmei's hand and kept praising Liu Dongmei.
If you look at her hands, she is the person who manages the household and lives her life. Looking at Liu Dongmei's appearance and appearance, whoever marries her as his wife must have accumulated great virtues in his previous life.
The most lethal thing about Aunt Zhou's body is her tattered mouth.
Although she still doesn't know how Liu Shoucheng, the Zhou family's archrival, changed Zhou Zhiqiang's attitude, which is something most people can't do.
As long as Liu Dongmei can carry shit and urine for Zhou Zhiqiang, she should praise her.
The dark cloud hanging over Liu Dongmei's heart suddenly cleared up after Aunt Zhou's compliment.
Before I knew it, it was already dinner time.
Aunt Zhou opened her bag and took out two large lunch boxes, one full of meat stewed with kidney beans and potatoes, and the other full of rice.
This was the dinner she brought to Tie Min and his son. I heard that Zhou Zhiqiang only ate biscuits and no food, so she couldn't neglect Liu Shoucheng and his daughter.
"Tiemin, you get off the night shift and go home to sleep. I'll stay with your father for the night." Aunt Zhou's arrangement is tantamount to eliminating Tiemin's meal, leaving her and Liu Shoucheng, father and daughter, with these two boxes of meals.
Basically enough.
Ironborn was quite satisfied with his mother's arrangement.
Tomorrow morning, he can go to Wang's house again, help his mother-in-law out of the stall, and accompany Wang Li to load the goods.
"Auntie, you and Tiemin go back, and I will take care of the two brothers by myself." Liu Dongmei was even more cheerful.
A box of lunch and a box of vegetables would be good enough for her and her husband. At night, she would have to share a bed with her caregiver, so why add another person.
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed." Aunt Zhou fell in love with Liu Dongmei from the bottom of her heart. She took Liu Dongmei's hand and said, "It's a pity that my daughter is still young and not sensible. If you were my daughter, I would burn her.
Very fragrant."
"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, let Dongmei recognize you as your godmother." Liu Shoucheng made a suggestion, which made Zhou Zhiqiang almost sit up in joy. He said, "Dongmei, are you willing?"
Liu Dongmei looked at her father's smile and blushed.
Liu Shoucheng smacked his lips and said, "Girl, please make a statement."
Liu Dongmei twisted a few times, then actually knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Aunt Zhou and Zhou Zhiqiang each and said, "My godfather and godmother are here, and my daughter is kowtowing to the second elder."
The ironborn stood there stupidly, their heads numb, not knowing how to respond.
"You big fool, help your sister up quickly." Aunt Zhou was absolutely merciless when she spoke to Tiemin at the critical moment.
Tiemin helped Liu Dongmei up, and Liu Dongmei bowed to Tiemin and said, "From now on, you are my brother."
"Tiemin, I'll take your sister to the department store tomorrow to buy a set of clothes." Zhou Zhiqiang was overjoyed and gave Tiemin the order.
"Ah...ah!" Tiemin was stunned by his father's instructions.
Zhou Zhiqiang added: "You picked up such a good sister for nothing, so you have to show some expression."
"No need." Liu Dongmei said this, smiling and waiting for Tiemin's promise.
"I know." Ironborn replied, quite reluctantly.
What he was saying in his heart: You and your mother are your daughter, why should you ask me to pay for her clothes?
From the day I gave birth to my son, I felt sleepy whenever I looked at the blackboard. I never failed every exam.
As he was about to graduate from junior high school, he was so anxious that he could not wait to leave school immediately and go to work at the Railway Locomotive Depot Comprehensive Factory.
He has a beautiful wish. With the first month’s salary from work, he will buy an electronic watch. Then he will pull a piece of floral cloth and ask his mother to make him a floral shirt. In the second month, he will buy a pair of jeans.
Buy travel shoes in three months.
If dad could give him a 26-brake bicycle with a chain box like he did with his eldest brother Ironborn, he would definitely find a way to get a toad mirror. Damn it, that would be awesome.
It is conceivable that such a naughty kid who cares about dressing up all day long has no time to study.
My father was ill and hospitalized, and the family was short of manpower, which gave me the opportunity to skip school.
He bargained with Aunt Zhou and asked for three yuan. He took the commuter train to Steel City early in the morning and walked all the way to the Steel Factory General Hospital. He only saw his father once and then ran out of the ward to enjoy the fun.
An ambulance brought a patient here, and the baby ran over to see what happened. There was crying over there, and an old man died in the ward. After this trip and that trip, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, sitting in the hospital.
Standing at the door, he couldn't stop panting.
These are the things he brags about to his classmates after returning to school.
A Crown taxi parked at the gate of the hospital, attracting the child's attention.
In a small town, you can't see a taxi all year round. How much does it cost to take a taxi?
The taxi door opened and Xie Guizhi got out of the car, almost blinding her eyes.
He knew Xie Guizhi and knew that she was Wang Li's mother.
Xie Guizhi didn't know the childbirth, so when she saw a dumb boy coming to greet him, she took the initiative to say hello and said: "Son, how to get to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ward."
"Come with me." Shengzi didn't know where the inspiration came from, and realized that Xie Guizhi was here to see his father.
The child knows why his father is sick.
He took the initiative to greet him, just to let others see that someone was taking a taxi to see his father, and his face was shining.
In those days, not ordinary people could afford to take a taxi. Only big business bosses were willing to waste money and take taxis in a pretentious manner.
Shengzi walked in front, preparing to go up to the second floor.
On the slow platform of the stairs, he was satisfied with his thoughts, and also thought about the possible consequences of bringing Xie Guizhi to the ward.
Dad's cerebral blood vessels hadn't grown properly yet, so when Wang Li's mother got angry, the blood vessels leaked again.
Thinking of this, Shengzi blocked Xie Guizhi's path and opened his mouth to curse.
Xie Guizhi came to Steel City only a few times throughout the year. When she got off the train, she felt dizzy.
