Chapter 1543 [1542] A troubled summer vacation

Zhao Qingqing saw that Ding Zhenlong's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly asked why. He didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was shocked when he asked.

"The son-in-law of the family named Cai in the third team will give their whole family...,"

When my mother heard this, the knife in her hand hit the chopping board with a clang, and her expression changed instantly: "What's going on? Who did it?"

"His son-in-law was drunk. He had an quarrel with his wife a few days ago. She returned to her parents' home, and he used the courage to drink and went crazy at Cai's house. Who knows what exactly happened, but he was jealous anyway.

Even his own son was not spared before the police left. He originally wanted to light up the house, but ended up affecting the neighbors, so they came out to control him and reported the case!"

When Ding Wei got up, Ding Zhenlong had already left, and Zhao Qingqing told her children about the matter with an ugly face.

Ding Wei doesn't think it's unusual at all for such a thing. She has lived for so many lives, and she has never seen anyone or heard of any case. Especially in the later generations with developed Internet, it is not uncommon. Otherwise, others

Say, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man?

Therefore, when necessary, you must learn to protect yourself wisely, and you must not deal with your marriage in a sloppy manner.

Why do so many people in future generations no longer want to get married?

In addition to being related to the living environment, it is more that women are getting stronger and stronger. There are excellent girls everywhere. They are better than the top and more than the bottom. Naturally, they look down on those men who are weaker than themselves. Those who are stronger than themselves still want to find a girl.

Young people despise her for being too old, so they often find men younger than themselves, or men of the same age, or older men who are not as good as themselves. This also causes them to become more and more afraid of marriage, to the point where they can't even choose a suitable one.

To the point where I just want to be single until I grow old.

But women in this era are still at the point where they can’t live without men. Their traditions aside, their thoughts are still stuck in the past, so you can’t say they are pedantic. You can only say that the general environment is like this. In the current era of underdeveloped networks and limited information,

Some rumors are extremely fatal to them.

Such a big thing happened in the village, which must have alarmed the whole place, because the family was not on the same team as them, so it was news to them. Their parents even ordered their brothers not to go over and watch the fun, and the village also started to panic because of this incident.

It became quiet.

My brothers went to the small river to catch a lot of river shrimps and white strips. The white strips were not very big. After bringing them home, my mother killed and washed them, wrapped them in flour and fried them in a pan. They were caramelized and crispy, and they were very delicious. The river shrimps

It’s not big, just stir-fry it in the pan. It’s garlic-flavored and delicious when paired with rice.

She and her sister also went to the stream to touch some snails, river mussels, and river shells. After taking them home and spitting them in the sand, they stir-fried them with chili peppers. The strong-flavored river fish was ready. If there were no toothpicks, they would eat it with a needle.

, a mouthful of fragrance.

Although there is no big fish and meat in the countryside, this kind of fun that only country children can experience is something that city children cannot envy.

They didn't find crayfish here, but occasionally they were lucky enough to net Huang Ge Ya in the river. This kind of fish has a sticky skin on the surface, no scales, and no extra spines. It tastes good whether braised or fried.

"Summer is better. It's for climbing forks and fresh river fish, shrimps and crabs. Your uncle and the others even went to catch frogs in the rice fields of the next village to eat. I can't eat that stuff. This summer, we almost didn't buy it.

It’s meaty and really exciting.”

Summer has to have a summer atmosphere, right?

Even Ding Wei was willing to buy beer for her father and brothers, and Zhao Qingqing was naturally willing to buy oil and various condiments for them.

Now that the children are older, everyone in the family can eat chili peppers, and we don’t have to go through so much trouble and trouble to cook spicy and soft dishes.

Mentioning this, she couldn't help but think of last summer, when Grandma Zheng was still sitting in the yard helping her kill fish, but she was nothing more than that... The people were gone. Zhao Qingqing's eyes turned red, worried that the children would see her.

When I came out, I could only pretend to get something and go to the kitchen.

Although Ding Zhenlong is usually busy with work and doesn't pay much attention to family matters, his wife was still chatting and laughing just now. Why does something suddenly go wrong when she talks about this summer?

As soon as she left, he followed her into the kitchen and looked at his wife who had turned her back: "What happened? What did you think of again?"

"It's okay, it's just that the cigarette ashes are blinding my eyes. I'll make some cold dishes. My two girls like to eat cold tomatoes. Go and get our candy jar."

"Is everything okay?" Ding Zhenlong heard something was wrong in her voice and asked one more question. Zhao Qingqing turned around and glared at him impatiently.

"What can happen to me? Didn't I tell you everything? I'm so confused by the cigarette ashes, go quickly, don't waste a while to start dinner!"

Hearing the familiar tune, Ding Zhenlong smiled: "Yes, this is how you usually look. Smile more. My children are all here. If you have anything wrong with you, come to me and I will help you relieve it."

"Get out!" Zhao Qingqing stared and swung him with a spoon anxiously. Ding Zhenlong pretended to be scared away and dodged out.

Zhao Qingqing smiled and pursed her lips, sighing softly. Maybe the old lady would be happier when she got there, saving worry and effort, right?

Every time she thought of the Zheng family, she would put herself in their shoes and think about her future situation.

Each of the children of the Zheng family is capable, but none of them are around. Looking back at her children, won't it be the same in the future?

She is even worse off than the Zheng family, because two of them are still military school students, and the Zheng family is so busy working as doctors, the third child will definitely be homeless in the future, and the fourth child, who can go to the south to study, is even more expected in the future.

Not on.

If you have four sons, how can you count on two daughters?

Daughters have to marry outside their home. It is better if they marry close by, but they cannot care about anything if they marry far away!

Zhao Qingqing does not agree with those who say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. At least, she already knows that the more capable the children are, the less able the old people will be.

On the contrary, academic scumbags like Ding Jianxin and Ding Jiancheng are the ones who ultimately stay with their parents.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Qingqing is not so entangled anymore. Instead of being entangled in this, it is better to hope that her children will achieve something and be tied to her every day. What do you mean? They are not mama's boys or mama's girls.

Zhao Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she mentioned these two words. Ding Wei popularized this to them. After listening to it, she sincerely felt that children are still capable. Growth after the age of eighteen belongs to them.

, it’s better for parents to get less involved.

This is too much control. The son has become dependent on his mother and will not leave his mother for everything. Why don't he expect to be laughed at in the future?

After much thought, she decided to be a distant mother-in-law. When she was needed, she would be there. When she was no longer needed, she would stay far away.

But she has four sons, and the age difference is not very big. If they get married and have children together in the future, who will she take care of?

Regarding this question, she thought of the perfect idea Ding Wei gave her.

"Then don't bring it with anyone. Just give me money. Mom, don't worry. I will help you when you are in trouble in the future. You don't have to worry about the money. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it."

Zhao Qingqing also heard the implicit meaning. In the future, if the four daughters-in-law want a bowl of water to be balanced, then no one will take care of the child and give them money. Once the money is in place, it will be easy to talk about anything. It is precisely because she took this into consideration

With this in mind, now we are trying every possible means to make money. No one cares about having too much money. It’s easier to do things with more money, right?

Ding Wei stayed in the village for five days and didn't even return home to the county town. She just packed a few clothes and was driven to the bus station by her father, because the bus at home was a matter of luck, and sometimes

There is not even one train a day. After all, there are few people taking the bus in this era. Most people would rather walk than take the bus, so a car may cover a long distance. Unless you ask if there are any stops before taking the bus, you will have to wait.

Wait in vain.

Most of these vehicles run on national highways, and it will take until the late 1990s for every village to have access to them.

This time, her father took her and Ding Xiang with him. Ding Xiang sat on the horizontal bar in front, and Ding Wei sat in the back. When the slope became steeper, they both came down. Anyway, they managed to make it to the county seat.

The two of them had almost no luggage, so they each carried a bag. After waiting for a while at the bus station, Chen Xiumin came. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the three of them got on the bus to L city. The brothers had also returned the day before, and they arrived again.

At the beginning of the school year, most of the people on the bus were parents sending their students off. Many of them looked like freshmen, nervous and excited, with faces flushed by the sun.

It was already the end of August, and the weather was still extremely hot. Not long after we started driving, the sky became overcast, and then the wind started blowing and it rained heavily. What’s even more ridiculous was that it was raining in some places along the way, and the sun was shining brightly in some places.

When we reached a section of the road, there was rain on the left side of the car and the sun was shining brightly on the right side. This is what the people call sun rain.

The rain comes and goes quickly, and the only advantage is that it brings a little coolness, and the ground dries up quickly, making it soft when you step on it, unlike when it rains heavily, where you step on mud everywhere.

After entering this school, she will be a high school graduating class student. In her last year, she will work hard to the end.

It's just that I haven't heard from Xiang Feng this summer vacation. It's been a month since school started, and he hasn't contacted her. Judging from the frequency of receiving letters every month or two in the past, something is wrong. She has sent three letters.

, not a single reply.

I called the school to ask, but they refused because it was inconvenient to disclose.

In this situation, she could only guess that it was not just as simple as fighting floods and providing disaster relief. It was very likely that they had carried out a secret mission, or that their course needed to conduct drills in places with little information. After all, they were engaged in weapons, so what?

There is no difference between scientists, except that they are engaged in military industry, and they are also confidential-level units.

Since she had already asked all the questions that needed to be asked, Ding Wei didn't take it to heart.

They did not take a long holiday during the National Day this year. Ding Xiang had a three-day holiday, but they only had one day, so Ding Wei sent her to the bus station while she and Xiumin went back to the dormitory to continue studying.

After the National Day, there were autumn rains and cold weather, and by the end of October I was already wearing thin cotton-padded jackets.

The thick quilts and cotton-padded clothes from before are still kept at school, so there is no need for dad to go back and forth to deliver them to them. Originally, in this era, we didn’t have many clothes, and only a few pieces came and went, so everyone’s wardrobe can be

Can let it go.

Although Ding Wei has the most clothes among them, the dormitory with many people usually checks the hygiene and the dormitory management is not so strict, so the under the bed becomes everyone's storage space. I guess she will worry so much when she graduates.

How to get things home.

Who would have thought that during the opening ceremony, the principal announced sadly that during the summer vacation, five children in the junior high school of their school died due to drowning, and three children in the high school, which is their level, died.

Ding Wei was shocked by this number. She knew that in this era of underdeveloped information, many things could not be known from the media, but she did not expect that so many people would drown in just one summer vacation.

Ding Wei immediately thought of a question. She remembered that Chen Xiumin only started learning to swim after she gave birth to her. At present, she is still a landlubber.

Ding Wei immediately turned to her and said, "I'll teach you how to swim in the water later."

"You know how to drink water? I haven't heard you say that before. How do you know I can't?"

Ding Wei said matter-of-factly: "You won't know it at first sight. That's not the point. The point is where to find a suitable swimming pool. It's not safe in the river. In this way, when we go to college in the future and arrive in a big city, I

I will definitely find an opportunity to teach you how to swim."

Learning to swim as soon as possible is also a guarantee for your own safety. If your father can't take care of it, your mother must.
