Chapter 33 Village Chief Zhang Wei
Author: Seven taels of broken silver
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Cheng Miaomiao was woken up again by the crow of the rooster in the yard. She sat up in confusion, rubbed her eyes and realized that her father and mother were already up. She yawned and climbed out of bed.
I was happy all night last night after knowing that she also had her own room.
Ye Ning held the basin and waved to her: "Miaomiao, come here and wash your face."
"Here we come."
Cheng Miaomiao ran over with straw sandals and was pressed on her face and wiped carefully. Although she had already said that she could wash her face by herself, her mother-in-law insisted on washing it for her. This was really a sweet trouble.
Cheng Erlang held two fish in his hand.
Seeing her face turning red from being rubbed, she laughed and said, "We will go to the village chief's house together later. Miaomiao, do you still remember the village chief's uncle?"
Cheng Miaomiao nodded immediately: "Remember! The face is square and looks very fierce!"
But in fact, he is not mean at all. He would say hello to her when we met before. He is a good-tempered uncle!
Ye Ning held her head in a funny manner and used a comb to prick her with two little pricks.
"Second brother, what are you and your family doing here?"
At this time, Cheng Dalang opened the door and walked out. He was a little surprised to see the three of them neatly.
The Cheng brothers get up at about this time every day, tidy up a bit, then go to the fields to see how the rice is doing, walk around and then come back for breakfast. Just as he was asking, the other two brothers also came out.
Cheng Silang asked: "Second brother, do you have anything to do when you go out?"
Cheng Sanlang probably guessed what they were going out for, probably to borrow money to build a house, so he said casually: "When will the second brother come back? Do you want me to help you take a look at your fields?"
"No, I just want to thank the village chief for what happened yesterday."
Cheng Erlang was suddenly interrupted when he was about to explain. Ye Ning looked at him with a smile and said, "We're ready, let's go."
Cheng Miaomiao opened her hand towards him and hummed: "Hug, Dad."
Cheng Erlang immediately forgot those words, and with a sigh, he picked up Miaomiao and sat on his arms, and the family of three went out directly.
Qian just looked at their backs as they left, and muttered: "It's outrageous to think about running away just after we separated. If Erlang's wife is gone, who will take the children up the mountain today?"
…
It was the first time that Cheng Miaomiao was taken out by her parents.
Although we were walking on a familiar road, we still felt that everywhere was interesting. Even the wild flowers on the roadside had to be pointed out and said they looked beautiful.
The village chief's family lives in the middle of the village, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk there.
Cheng Erlang knocked on the courtyard door, and soon a woman's voice came from inside: "Hey! Here you go, who is it?"
Ye Ning smiled and shouted: "Sister-in-law Lin."
This was a woman with her hair in a bun and neatly tidied up. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the three of them, and then she quickly invited them into the room with a smile and said, "Erlang, you are here to see Lao Zhang."
Right, he just went out to the fields, you just need to wait at home for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Zhang Quan'er, go to the fields and call your father back!"
"I know, mother!"
A hoarse young man's voice sounded from inside the room.
Cheng Miaomiao craned her neck to look, and saw a tall, thin teenage boy walking out. His eyelids were drooped and he looked listless. He called Cheng Erlang "uncle" and then left in a dull tone.
She let out a surprised sound and whispered in his ear: "Dad, he looks just like the village chief uncle."
Both of them have square faces, and they look like they were carved from the same mold.
Saying that, Cheng Miaomiao turned to look at Mrs. Lin again, thought about it seriously, and said depressedly: "I am a little bit similar to this aunt, just a little bit. I don't pick out the good-looking parts of my aunt."
Cheng Erlang quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ye Ning also said: "Miaomiao has no control over her words. Sister-in-law, don't mind."
"Hey, what a big deal."
Sister-in-law Lin laughed at the child's words and said seriously: "Zhang Quan'er is just like his father. I was also wondering at the time why he didn't choose my appearance to have a baby. He is just as boring as his father."
Cheng Miaomiao immediately turned to look at her father and groaned: "I was right!"
Cheng Erlang smiled helplessly and could only nod his head and said yes.
Sister-in-law Lin found it interesting to see the father and daughter talking back and forth. Who would have thought that not long ago she almost died. She sighed: "Sanya seems to be a lot more lively, which is a good thing."
Ye Ning smiled and said: "She is doing well now."
As she said that, she divided out one of the fish she was carrying and handed it to Sister-in-law Lin, saying, "Sister-in-law, we caught this fish yesterday. I'm sorry that the village chief was troubled by what happened yesterday."
"This can't be done. Lao Zhang is the village chief, and that's what he should do."
Mrs. Lin was startled and pushed her back quickly. If Lao Zhang found out about this, he would scold her for being confused.
"Sister-in-law, just accept it," Cheng Erlang also said.
Ye Ning forced the straw rope into her hand and said sincerely: "If the village chief hadn't been here yesterday, we might not have been able to separate into this family. We are really grateful to him."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin remembered what Lao Zhang said about the Cheng family after returning home.
She gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, then I will accept it. If you have anything in the future, just come to me and Lao Zhang."
"Thank you sister-in-law."
Ye Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
Mrs. Lin carried the fish to the kitchen with a smile on her face. They all had breakfast very early. Since there were guests coming today, she simply steamed a few more pancakes, which were ready to be cooked when Lao Zhang came back.
Not long after, the village chief came back with Zhang Quan.
After seeing Cheng Erlang and others in the house, they were stunned for a while. The village chief smiled and put the hoe aside and asked: "Erlang, why are you here?"
Cheng Miaomiao raised her head and called out obediently: "Hello, uncle, village chief."
The village chief touched her little head and praised: "Hey, Sanya's hair is tied up beautifully today. Have you eaten yet?"
Cheng Miaomiao shook her head and said with a gloomy expression: "Not yet, grandma didn't let us eat last night, and she's almost starving."
"Aunt Zhao is getting more and more confused!"
"Let's go, have breakfast at uncle's house and then go back. You guys, Erlang, will stay here to eat." The village chief frowned, and his Chinese-character face became more serious. At first glance, he looked like Mr. Bao with a black face.
Zhang Quan couldn't help but take a breath of air.
I heard Cheng Miaomiao say happily: "Wow! Thank you very much, uncle, village chief, you are such a kind uncle."
The child's voice is soft and sticky.
Those dark eyes looked at you for a moment, and suddenly Zhang Wei had the illusion that he was really powerful. He smacked the feeling, and it felt pretty good.
Who doesn't want to have a lovely daughter looking at you like this all day long?
Ye Ning: "..."
Ye Ning couldn't help but hold her forehead. She clearly ate a lot of snacks last night!
