Chapter 2: Brother and Sister-in-law

Chapter 2 Brother and Sister-in-law Just at this moment, a woman with a Hu Lan hairstyle half-poked her body out from the north room door and gave Ning Weidong an unfriendly look. It was his sister-in-law Wang Yuzhen. Wang Yuzhen saw Ning Weidong turning around, glared at him, and then shrank back without saying a word. It’s not that Wang Yuzhen has any problem with her brother-in-law, but she mainly doesn’t get along well with Bai Fengyu. inside the house. The eldest brother Ning Weiguo finished folding the quilt and came out from the inner room. Seeing my wife angry, I asked her "what's wrong?" "What's wrong?" Wang Yuzhen glared at him unhappily and said in a low voice, "Isn't it our third child..." She was not a reckless shrew. No matter how unhappy she was, she had to maintain some dignity and not let anyone else hear it. Otherwise, it will only make your man feel embarrassed when he is caught in the middle. Pulling Ning Weiguo, he complained, "How many times have I told you to talk to the Third Brother and stay away from that woman named Bai? You just ignored me, didn't you?" Ning Weiguo felt helpless.

He was a technical secondary school student before 65 and was a classmate of Wang Yuzhen. At first, Wang Yuzhen's family did not agree with them being together. Wang Yuzhen comes from a cadre family. Her father participated in the Gaoli War and her family conditions are very good. The Ning family's situation pales in comparison. At that time, Ning's father had just passed away, and Ning's mother was in poor health and had to take care of Ning Weidong. After Wang Yuzhen got married, she had to serve her mother-in-law above and also had an ignorant brother-in-law below. But the Ning family has good genes. Both sons are over meters tall, fair-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they look very energetic. At that time, Wang Yuzhen was determined to make Ning Weiguo a man and confronted his family. Later, Wang Yuzhen's father was implicated and the two got together. Because of this, Ning Weiguo also suffered the consequences. It was not until later, when his father-in-law's working salary was restored, that Ning Weiguo finally turned his bad luck around and became a deputy section chief. Otherwise, the original owner would not be able to get the job done as soon as he came back. Wang Yuzhen said, "When I opened my eyes this morning, the third brother had gone into the room again..." Ning Weiguo frowned. Wang Yuzhen warned: "Don't take it lightly. You know their family situation. It will be troublesome if you get involved..." Ning Weiguo said seriously: "I understand. I will find a chance to talk to the third brother." Wang Yuzhen was finally satisfied with this attitude. She softened her tone and reminded him, "You should also pay attention to your manners. A young man in his twenties is not a child after all." Without waiting for Ning Weiguo to respond, Ning Weidong lifted the door curtain and walked in. "Weidong, get up. Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. Your sister-in-law has prepared dinner." Ning Weiguo quickly stopped him and greeted him with a smile. Wang Yuzhen said nothing more, took off her apron and said, "I'll go see Xiaolei."

After saying that, he lifted the door curtain and went out, leaving only the two Ning brothers. Ning Weidong called him "Big Brother" and got back a lot of memories, so he was not unfamiliar. Ning Weiguo wanted to smooth things over: "Your sister-in-law..." Before he could continue, Ning Weidong said, "Brother, please don't say anything. I was ignorant before." Ning Weiguo was stunned. He didn't expect his stubborn brother to say that. The sun comes out in the west? Just now Wang Yuzhen said that Ning Weiguo ignored her words, but she was actually wrong. Ning Weiguo has talked about Bai Fengyu more than once. The original owner seemed to be possessed by a demon. He refused to listen to advice at all and even got angry when the advice was given too deep. "Eh?" Ning Weiguo had prepared a lot of heartfelt words to say, but they were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say them. Ning Weidong was not being perfunctory. The original owner was a blockhead, but he was not. The interactions with Bai Fengyu in his memory, the subtle influence of the CPU, and the money issue all showed that this woman was quite experienced. After breakfast, Ning Weiguo and his family rushed to Wang Yuzhen’s parents’ home. The food in Ningjia is pretty good. In the morning, they have two-grain steamed buns made of cornmeal and white flour, and cabbage stewed with frozen tofu. Wang Yuzhen’s hometown is Shandong Province, and the skill of steaming buns is inherited from her family. The only drawback is that there is too much cornmeal mixed in. Cornmeal is not ground finely these days, so it makes my throat feel sore no matter how I chew it. After the meal, Ning Weidong rushed to clean the table: "Sister-in-law, let me do it~ You go and clean up." Wang Yuzhen was stunned. It was the first time ever. Over the years, she had almost raised her brother-in-law as her son. Ning Weidong was only eleven years old when she first got married, and less than two years later, Ning's mother passed away. The original owner's personality was not likable. He was stubborn and not good at expressing himself, and he liked to poke people in the face with his words. To put it nicely, it's honest; to put it bluntly, it's stupid. Ning Weidong is not that kind of fool. Two years ago, washing dishes was still a hassle and you had to go to the hospital to squeeze the faucet. At that time, tap water was shared. It was not until 76 that each household had a water meter and water pipes were led into the house. The Ning family has two main rooms. The inner room is the bedroom of Ning Weiguo and his wife, and the outer room serves as a living room and dining room, with a small kitchen separated on the north side. Ning Weidong shook his hands and went to the washbasin rack to wipe them dry with a towel. I plan to go outside first and get familiar with the environment. Although he obtained some memories of the original owner, most of them were scattered and illogical, and had to be activated through related things, just like when he saw Bai Fengyu just now. Besides, he needs to familiarize himself with the route before going to work tomorrow so as not to be caught off guard. According to the current situation, maintaining the status quo and continuing to work is undoubtedly the safest option.
