Picking mulberries

Chapter 105

"Jingping, Yang Bao hasn't eaten for two meals, so you can let him down." Zhou Guimei chased after Qiu Jingping's buttocks and chattered.

"It's not that I don't let him eat, it's that he doesn't eat, so I can't blame me."

"You put him in confinement for no reason. Of course he is sad. Give him back the phone key and let him go back." Zhou Guimei was a little annoyed.

"It's not like you don't eat or drink for two or three days. What's wrong with a tall and big young man starving for a meal or two?" Zhuang Huaying said nonchalantly.

"It's because the cow is tall and big that I can't help being hungry. You can try a hungry meal and make sure you can swallow raw rice." Zhou Guimei stared.

"Of course I can't help being hungry. There are a lot of things to do inside and outside the house. If you don't eat, you won't have strength. He lay on the bed with his corpse, motionless like a tortoise. How much energy would he consume?" Zhuang Huaying was also a little worried in her heart, but her mouth Still quite firm.

"My poor Yangbao, the injuries all over my body are still not healed. If something goes wrong with this, what will I do in the future..." Seeing her son and daughter-in-law acting as if they were not involved, Zhou Guimei couldn't help crying.

"Don't do this, even if you starve to death, I'm the one who's going to jail, and you have nothing to do with it." Seeing his mother's playfulness, Qiu Jingping couldn't help but raise his mouth.

"Evil ghost, uh, if you are so cruel to your mother, you won't be afraid of being struck by lightning." Zhou Guimei suppressed her tears and scolded.

"I never believe in gods or ghosts, so why should I be afraid of it?" Qiu Jingdong sneered, "Didn't you say that the Bodhisattva reassures you that your grandson will definitely find a good match, and this is called a good match?"

"Why is it not a good match, the same handsome, the same tall, the same talent, a talented girl...a beautiful woman," Zhou Guimei was also a little embarrassed, and murmured in a low voice, "The good match is quite a good match, but it's just a little out of the usual way. .”

"Huaying and I are only six or seven years older than him. Does he call us parents, or our big brother and big sister?" Qiu Jingping snorted.

"What is this? Some people's sons-in-law are older than their father-in-law." Zhou Guimei retorted.

"Okay, I admit it. But you ask them to show me a marriage certificate, and I will admit it if there is a certificate."

Zhuang Huaying is still busy in Tianfan, eating and drinking when he should eat, and Qiu Jingping is still writing and writing in the house and moving his hands and feet outside, lying down and sitting when he wants to.Zhou Guimei is enough, and she has to go to her grandson's bedroom every other hour and a half. She can't get her grandson to eat. Seeing that the handsome grandson's eye circles are sunken, Zhou Guimei is so distressed that she wants to fight with her son and daughter-in-law Heart has.

At night, Zhou Guimei lay in bed and couldn't sleep all night. After thinking about it all night, she finally came up with a solution.Early the next morning, she went to Sophomore Qiu Village to look for Qiu Shangzhi. From him, she knew Cui Dongxu's mobile phone number, borrowed Qiu Shangzhi's mobile phone and hid it on the field, and made a phone call with Cui Dongxu. Tell Cui Dongxu all about the family affairs.Before going home, he went to the eldest son's house again, and confessed to Qiu Jingdong and Wang Qiuxia in this way.

Zhou Guimei rushed home and saw her son Qiu Jingping was holding a purple sand pot, staring at the magpie nest on the big tree outside the courtyard in a daze, so she said angrily: "Qiu Daxiucai, I'm disturbing your elegant mood, what good poems are waiting for you?" Let's do it again, I just came back from your brother's place, I asked you to go over there, saying that the ancestors have something to do with you."

"Oh, I'll go there after I finish my morning tea." Qiu Jingping, who was worried about how to deal with his son's affairs, replied flatly.

"It's not your brother who is looking for you, it's your grandfather who is looking for you. If you don't want to be crutched by him, just go quickly." Zhou Guimei snorted coldly.

"You want to go there again?" Zhuang Huaying saw that her husband immediately put down the teapot nearby and was about to go out, so she quickly dropped the work in hand and went to clean up the teapot on the window sill.

"Yesterday my eldest brother and sister-in-law gave me an ideological and political class, and today it's my ancestor's turn to teach." Qiu Jingping smiled helplessly.

As soon as Qiu Jingping left, Wang Qiuxia came to the door: "Huaying, the wild tea at Feilong'ao was really good. I tasted it after Haixia and the others fried it. It tastes very good. Let's pick some today too. You stir fry some for Jingping to drink, let him taste it, I heard that it is especially good for people who stay in front of the computer, it can refresh you and protect you from radiation.”

"Really, then no matter how busy you are, you have to pick some and come back to taste." Zhuang Huaying immediately became interested when she heard that it was good for her husband.

"If you want to pick it, go now, catch it early, I heard that there are quite a lot of people going to pick it." Wang Qiuxia urged.

"Okay, let's go now," Zhuang Huaying raised her voice and said to Zhou Guimei who was in the room, "Mom, I went out with my sister-in-law, and the porridge is still in the pot. Please clean it up for me after you finish eating."

"My grandson doesn't eat, and I'm on a hunger strike too." Zhou Guimei poked her head out of the living room and replied angrily.

As soon as the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law left in the yard, the old lady Zhou Guimei flew upstairs, ran to Qiu Yang's house and yelled: "Yangbao, Yangbao, it's not good, something happened to the Cui family. "

"Which Cui family has an accident?" Qiu Yang said weakly.

"Which Cui family could it be? Your godfather's family."

"What happened and how do you know?"

"Today, I went to Shangzhi early in the morning to ask for Professor Cui's phone number, and told him the whole situation here. Your godfather was in a hurry and said that he wanted to bring someone over to greet the relatives."

"Who are you welcoming?" Qiu Yangqiang propped himself up and sat up from the bed.

"Nonsense, of course I want to marry you back to the Cui family."

"Really?" Qiu Yang was taken aback by his grandmother.

"It can be fake," Zhou Guimei said with certainty, "Your godfather snatched the phone from Professor Cui and told me directly that our Qiu family's wedding banquet was held, and now there is no way to regret the marriage." , he will use eight sedan chairs... oh, he will use a car to welcome the bride, so that the neighbors and towns can see new things, and he doesn't care if his son will be expelled from school."

"Grandma, you made it up too fakely. Didn't your mobile phone be confiscated by my dad?" Qiu Yang smiled weakly.

"Why did I lie to you? I went to Shang Zhi's house early in the morning and borrowed his cell phone to make a call." Seeing that her grandson was still skeptical, Zhou Guimei said again, "I don't know what the temper of my own son is, he is hard-hearted. , what's the use of torturing yourself like this, thinking you can force him to submit? Impossible! A hero doesn't suffer from the immediate disadvantages, and keeps the green hills. Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood. You have to take this matter slowly. Your father will not eat hard, go back Do what you should do, maybe he will acquiesce in your relationship without making a sound. I heard from Professor Cui that there are a lot of things in your company waiting for you to deal with. If you, the chairman, don't go, I'm afraid there will be a big mess Besides, your godfather may have said it in a hurry when he said that he came to greet the relatives, but Professor Cui is definitely coming. Think about it, you contact him every day, and now I haven’t contacted him for a few days, so I said it again You have been on a hunger strike for two days, can he sit still in Qingyuan? Maybe he will rush over in the afternoon, and when he comes, does your father have a good face for him? How can you make him a dignified university professor? "

"I don't have a car key. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the morning bus by taking the bus." Qiu Yang thought about what his grandma said made sense, and felt anxious.

"Here, here are the car keys. I stole them from your mother. However, your father hid the mobile phone very tightly and couldn't find it." Zhou Guimei took out the car keys from her pocket and handed them to A Yang.

"Forget it, go back to Qingyuan to buy the phone again." Qiu Yang wanted to get up from the bed, but fell back in a hurry.

"I've been hungry for more than a day. I must be tired. I soaked honey water downstairs and bought bread from the Chonghua store. I drank a cup of honey water first, drove slowly, and ate some bread while driving."

Qingyuan, Cui's family.

"Where are you going in such a hurry this early in the morning?" Seeing his son rushing downstairs, Cui Shicheng asked.

"I'm going to Ayang's house." Cui Dongxu took the soup handed over by Su's mother, and swallowed a few mouthfuls.

"Then you have to sit down and have breakfast, it's a few hours' drive." Cui Shicheng said.

"A Yang was grounded by his father, and he hasn't eaten or drank for two days." Cui Dongxu said anxiously.

"Ah," Cui Shicheng was a little surprised, "Didn't he ask us to wait quietly for his good news these days, and this is also called good news."

"Qiu Xiucai's trial is sad," Cui Dongxu said with a worried face, "That kid gets greedy when he sees something good, how can he stand hungry, I have to go and see it quickly."

"Well, I'm going to take a look. Xiao Jin's phone calls have been reaching me, saying that her chairman's cell phone can't get through."

"The mobile phone was also confiscated by his father," Cui Dongxu said heartbrokenly, "I heard from his grandma that his whole body was beaten all over by his mother, and there was not a single piece of good meat."

"My poor Ayang," Su's mother also looked worried, "That Qiu Xiucai and Xiao Zhuang seem to be very easy to get along with, why are they so cruel to their son?"

"Have you been beaten like that? Then I'll go with you." Cui Shicheng was also worried.

"No, where are you going? If you get stuck, how can you step down." Cui Dongxu shook his head.

"Then I'll ask your uncle to accompany you."

"No, we have to solve this matter ourselves," Cui Dongxu analyzed, "If you elders intervene at this time, I'm afraid Qiu Xiu will fight harder and harder."

"Son," Cui Shicheng said after thinking for a while, "before you go to A Yang's house, go to his uncle's house first, and greet his ancestors. At the banquet, I think Uncle A Yang and his cousin are very good friends. For a gentle person, it would be better to start with his uncle's family first."

"Ok."

"Bring more gifts from home, don't go empty-handed. Oh, by the way, bring a few more bottles of good wine, isn't his ancestor good wine?"

"Mom Su, help me get ready."

"It's not in a hurry right now, I'll get ready, you just sit down and have a good breakfast." Mama Su comforted.

When Zhuang Huaying was taken home by Wang Qiuxia for lunch, Qiu Jingping was still there.

"Why are you here?" Qiu Jingping asked Zhuang Huaying.

"My sister-in-law said that the elder brother has cooked the meal, and now it's past meal time, so it's troublesome to go home. Why are you still here?"

"The old ancestor just finished teaching me, and he was dissatisfied with him, so he was suspended from school."

"You loving couple are eating and drinking here, leaving my old lady alone," Qiu Jingdong kicked Qiu Jingping who was serving the dishes, "Is my brother the book boy of your great scholar, look at me Busy in and out of the kitchen, no one in charge, and now you don't even help to carry the dishes?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it. He can't do this kind of rough work." Zhuang Huaying hurriedly wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes and went into the kitchen.

"I heard from my mother in the morning that she is going to go on a hunger strike with her grandson," Wang Qiuxia said.

"Oh, you are capable, I have been completely subdued by you," Qiu Jingdong wanted to kick again, but was avoided by Qiu Jingping, "You even confiscated my mobile phone, it is inconvenient to ask her to come over for a meal, aren't you How can you be so unfilial, a great literati, in the past, you are going to be immersed in a pig cage."

"You can't bear to have a meal and just say it. It's not that my family doesn't have food. It depends on your face when you have a meal, right?" Qiu Jingping snorted.

"Yo, Qiu Daxiu is always the one who is reasonable," Qiu Jingdong sat down at the dinner table, "I tell you, my brother, don't be full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy just because you know a few more words, don't always talk about the three cardinal principles and five constant principles. You talk about it, life is not so poor, your son respects you and lets you go, but you, under the banner of so-called orthodoxy, torture him in every possible way, you know this is called moral kidnapping?"

"Huh, don't you really say that, I was really kidnapped by their Cui family's morality, or would I have reacted like this?" Qiu Jingping sat down unceremoniously, picked up the bottle and poured it on the old ancestor opposite. Had a glass of wine.

"Why did they kidnap you morally?" Qiu Jingdong asked.

"Professor Cui saved your nephew, and he is his mentor, he is his mentor, right? Mr. Cui once saved me from prison, he is my savior, right?"

"That's right, my conscience is still alive, I still remember this after all." Qiu Jingdong nodded.

"If they weren't the benefactors of my father and son, would I be so entangled?"

"What's the point of not being entangled?"

"That would be much easier." Qiu Jingping started eating on his own.

Qiu Jingping, Zhuang Huaying and his wife were full after eating and drinking, so they picked up the fresh tea leaves and went home.

"Mom, where's the car?" Seeing that the car in the garage was gone, Zhuang Huaying realized that her son must also be gone.

"Yangbao drove back," Zhou Guimei said immediately when her son looked up at her daughter-in-law, "Don't blame her, I stole the car keys for A Yang."

"I thought it was all about being stubborn. I haven't been hungry for two days yet." Qiu Jingping said calmly.

"Everyone has lost weight from starvation. I was afraid that if he starved again, he would have problems, so I forced him to go back." Seeing that her son didn't react much, Zhou Guimei was relieved.

"I'll go and see if anything is missing." Zhuang Huaying quickly put down the basket in her hand and was about to go upstairs.

"Is your son a thief? How about guarding against thieves?" Zhou Guimei gave her daughter-in-law a poisonous look.

"Let the tea leaves turn green, don't turn them yellow." After finishing speaking, Qiu Jingping went to the study.

Wang Qiuxia came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, and wanted to move the tea mats under the eaves into the kitchen, when she saw a yellow car driving into the yard as soon as she went out.

Of course she was familiar with this car, before Cui Dongxu got out of the car, she shouted to the back room: "Jingdong, come out, come out quickly."
