Chapter 419, a Murder Caused by a Goose
The store was full of joy. Most of the men had the most popular side-parting hairstyle, and some had flat hair. The more sophisticated ones wore a leather coat with a pen in their pocket, which was very stylish, but the color of their clothes was either gray or black, which was very monotonous.
In this regard, the women had more styles, with various hairstyles and colorful hair flowers. The better-off ones also wore tweed coats and shiny short leather shoes.
After the tofu and the romantic kiss in the alley, Meng Qingshui's love came to spring in advance, revived and sprouted again, and held his hand openly, bought all kinds of snacks and fed them to him openly, and looked at him with smiles in his eyes, and his smiles were full of deep affection.
Reaching out to help her comb her messy hair, Luan asked, "What should I buy for my little sister?"
Meng Qingshui thought for a moment and said softly, "The skin is prone to dryness in winter, buy some moisturizing cosmetics for my little sister."
Luan blurted out, "Snow cream?"
Meng Qingshui smiled sweetly, "My little sister might buy snow cream herself. You are so rich, buy a better one."
Yes, snow cream is only worth a few dollars. Luan took her to the only department store in the county and bought a box of the most expensive one.
Then the two discussed buying some more exquisite food, carrying big and small bags in their hands, and came to No. 1 Middle School.
I originally wanted to buy some clothes and shoes, but I couldn't figure out Song Jia's current height and weight. I was afraid that it would not fit me if I bought it, and I was too lazy to go back to exchange it for a new one, so I didn't buy it, thinking that I would take her to the store to try it on after her holiday.
Seeing Lu An standing at the door of the classroom, Song Jia, who was talking to a girl, ran out quickly, and was very surprised: "Brother, when did you come back?"
"Just arrived in the county, and came to see you with your sister-in-law."
Lu An said, moving aside a step, revealing Meng Qingshui behind him.
Meng Qingshui was in a very good mood today, with a smile on her face, and took the initiative to greet: "Little sister."
Song Jia had an instinctive resistance when she saw Meng Qingshui, but her brother had clearly called her "your sister-in-law" just now. In front of so many classmates, she couldn't disobey. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally called out the first sentence of "sister-in-law" in her life.
After the word "sister-in-law" came out, Song Jia seemed to have a loosened knot in her heart. She then talked to Meng Qingshui for several more words, and finally asked Lu An: "Brother, are you going home this afternoon?"
Lu An pointed to the playground outside, "It's snowing so hard, there may be no car to go up there. What about you, when will you have your winter vacation?"
Song Jia replied: "There are still two days of exams, and we will have a vacation after the exams."
She is only in the second year of high school, not the third year, and the school does not make up classes during the winter vacation, so the exam will be a little earlier.
Lu An said, "Then I'll wait for you. The snow should have melted by then, and we can go back together."
Song Jia almost jumped up on the spot and asked happily, "Really?"
"Yeah!"
Lu An nodded heavily, handed the things he bought to her, and then instructed:
"Study hard these two days. After you finish the exam, we will take you shopping and buy two new clothes for the New Year."
Song Jia immediately asked for new clothes, "I want to buy a down jacket."
Lu An smiled and nodded, "Buy, whatever you want, I will buy it for you!"
"Yeah, I knew you were the best." Song Jia's mouth corners were almost crooked to the back of her head, she was so happy.
The bell rang, and Song Jia reluctantly entered the classroom. Before leaving, she said for the first time, "Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today."
Lu An thought he had misheard, so he looked at Qingshui with wide eyes, and then asked, "What did she say just now?"
Meng Qingshui's eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were crescent-shaped. She stretched out her hand and pushed him on the back, and the two of them half pushed each other down the stairs.
In fact, Lu An knew that the reason why his younger sister could have such a big change today and talk to Qingshui was because his sister-in-law took her to eat, go shopping, and buy clothes on weekdays.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are made of flesh.
Sister-in-law has been treating her well for many years, and Song Jia should be melted even if she is a piece of iron.
In the classroom, the deskmate asked secretly: "Song Jia, was that your brother just now?"
"Yes."
"So handsome!"
"That's right, he is my brother, how can he not be handsome?"
The deskmate suddenly said, "When will you introduce your brother to me?"
Song Jia turned around and hit her friend mercilessly: "What are you thinking about? Didn't you see a woman standing next to my brother?"
"Is that your sister-in-law?"
"I don't know if she will be my sister-in-law in the future, but you have to defeat her first."
The deskmate immediately lost his temper.
Song Jia thought with great joy: Little guy, I treat you as a friend, but you want to be my sister-in-law, how can the seniority be messed up?
After going down to the first floor, the two did not leave directly, but strolled side by side in No. 1 Middle School for a while, and saw Song Jia's photo in the exhibition column.
I saw the little sister wearing a school uniform and a red flower on her chest, a pure model of learning.
Meng Qingshui stood in front of her and looked at the photo behind the glass for a while, and praised: "The little sister is a beauty. She will definitely be able to charm a lot of people in the future with a little dressing up."
Lu An agreed with this very much. Uncle and mother are somewhat similar. Song Jia looks like uncle. How can the genes be bad?
It's just that she is thin now and hasn't grown up completely. When she is plump, it will be another scene. It can't be said that she is better than the three beauties of Nanjing University and the Meng sisters, but at least she won't be too bad.
In fact, he never figured it out. At the beginning, his uncle and Uncle Meng pursued Aunt Meng at the same time. His uncle's external conditions were not inferior to Uncle Meng, and Aunt Meng was also his sister's best friend. Under such favorable conditions, how did he lose to Uncle Meng in the end?
Could it be that his deceased father was behind it?
If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
My old father and Uncle Meng were classmates and friends in junior high school. They were almost inseparable all the way to high school and when they were admitted to Wuhan University together, they were as close as one person.
With this kind of relationship, the brother-in-law may not be as close as Uncle Meng.
Lu An said, "My sister is aiming for Tsinghua University and Peking University. Maybe she will end up being a pig from these two schools in the future."
Meng Qingshui looked at him and asked with a smile, "Girls should get married when they grow up. Why are you so resentful?"
Lu An stared at the photo and sighed, "How can I not feel resentful? I have watched her grow up, and now she will leave me and live with someone else. It's like cutting a piece of meat off my heart."
Meng Qingshui said, "Then you are not suitable to have a daughter in the future, or you will be heartbroken."
When she said this, she suddenly thought of her own mother, and then thought of herself and her sister being entangled with the same man. She suddenly felt a little bleak, retracted her gaze and said, "Lu An, let's go back. Dad should have finished the meeting."
The two have slept in the same bed for a lifetime. When her expression changed, Lu An vaguely guessed what she was thinking and immediately skipped the topic, "Okay, I haven't seen Uncle Meng for a long time, and I really miss him."
Uncle Meng is still the same. Half a year has passed, and the years have not left any traces on him.
If you have to say there is, it is more elegant.
Seeing Luan and his youngest daughter coming together, Meng Zhenhai was not as suspicious as his wife. He observed them carefully and concluded that the relationship between the two was better than before, which made him very happy.
He was very happy to marry his daughter to his old friend's son. He asked, "Have you eaten? How about I take you out to eat first?"
Meng Qingshui said, "Dad, Luan and I came here after lunch. We just came to see you. You have something to do first. Let's have dinner together later."
Luan agreed.
At the end of the year, Meng Zhenhai was indeed full of trivial matters. After chatting with the two for about 20 minutes, he really got busy again.
The two roasted a fire in the house, and then went out to make a phone call. Luan first called the eldest sister at home and told her to come back in a few days with her younger sister.
Then he called Yu Wanzhi, but the call didn't go through. It was estimated that this sister went to the United States and could not be contacted for a while.
The third call he made was to Yangcheng, telling Guan Yi and the teacher that it was snowing heavily in his hometown, and he probably couldn't come before the New Year, so he could only choose to come after the New Year.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, before hanging up the phone, Guan Yi asked on the phone: "Have you contacted Shiqin in the past few months?"
Lu An replied that he hadn't.
Guan Yi sighed for a while, complaining that he was a boaster, but it turned out to be a silver gun and wax head, useless.
Lu An was very angry when he heard it. If Qingshui was not far away, he would have argued with this senior sister no matter what, and complained in his heart that if you look down on people like this, don't blame me for being cruel, I will give your daughter a few hundred million when the time comes.
The third call ended unpleasantly. Lu An wanted to call Huang Ting, Ye Run, and Liu Hui later, but they were just thoughts. Qingshui was there, and if he dared to call, something would definitely happen.
In the next few days, Luan and Meng Qingshui stayed in Hui County. They went out for a walk when they had nothing to do, picking some local delicacies to give to each other. The days were as happy as those of gods. Qingshui's smile never stopped, and it became more and more beautiful every day.
In the middle, Chujian came and drove the company's newly bought Audi car to give the car to Luan temporarily.
He asked, "How is the road in the suburbs? Has the snow melted? Is the road to Shao City drivable?"
Chujian replied: "Brother, it was open to traffic yesterday. Are you and sister-in-law going back to Shao City?"
Luan turned to Qingshui and said: "I will give the car to Sister Qingchi and come back later."
Originally, he wanted Chujian to return the car to Sister Qingchi, but considering that this sister didn't like to let the opposite sex touch her personal things, Sujian gave up the idea.
Meng Qingshui obviously knew this: "Okay, wait for you to come back for dinner."
They set off at noon, with Luan driving in front and Chujian driving another Audi car behind.
But when they arrived in Shao City, Sister Qingchi was not at home, and Brother Wenjie and his wife were not at home either. Only Li Meng was left in the yard to kill geese.
Lu An walked around and asked, "Aunt Meng, where is Sister Qingchi?"
Li Meng looked up at him and asked, "Why didn't Qingshui come back with you?"
Lu An said, "Qingshui is with Uncle Meng."
Li Meng looked up at him again, and after a long while, he said, "Qingchi went to the movies. Your brother Wenjie and his wife went together. If you have anything, go to the cinema to find her."
This, this tone is light, and she doesn't like me very much, as if she is driving me away.
Thinking so, Lu An leaned over and asked tentatively, "Aunt, where did this goose come from? It's so fat."
Li Meng looked at him for the third time, "This goose is raised by eating radishes and cabbages. Not only is the meat fat, but the gall is also fat."
Lu An: "."
This time he was sure that Aunt Meng wanted him to get out, go back to accompany Qingshui, and don't think about staying to eat the goose.
The deeper implication is: Don't keep looking for your sister Qingchi, I don't like it.
But Lu An didn't move, sitting on the small stool next to her and watching her pluck goose feathers.
Li Meng stopped what she was doing, straightened up and asked, "Xiao An, do you have anything else to do?"
Lu An pointed at the goose, "I'm waiting for the goose. I remember that both Qingshui and Uncle Meng love to eat goose. I'll take one back to the county and cook it for them."
Unexpectedly, Li Meng didn't show any respect at all. "It takes a lot of effort to pluck the hair out. It's getting dark. You go back first. I'll keep it aside for them to eat when they come back."
Lu An blinked and pretended not to understand: "Auntie, don't leave in a hurry, I want to eat too."
Li Meng laughed, her eyes lingered on his face for a while, and finally she sighed and said, "Song Yun used to be such a reserved person, how come she gave birth to such a shameless person like you?"
Then she didn't wait for Lu An to reply, lowered her head and continued plucking the feathers, and at the same time said: "This goose is not for you, you first decide whether to eat cabbage or radish, and then come and see me after you have made up your mind."
Come on, Qingshui and Sister Qingchi were not at home, so they had no mercy at all and immediately issued an eviction order.
Luan sat for a while longer.
Li Meng annoyed him, took the goose and went to the backyard, locking the door by the way.
Lu An's face twitched, and after standing there for a while, he had to reluctantly leave the Meng family.
At this time, Chu Jian was waiting at the entrance of the alley. When he saw him coming out, he asked: "Brother, are you going back? Or are you going somewhere?"
Lu An was put out of mood by Aunt Meng, so she pulled away the passenger seat and got in, "Go back to the county town."
"Okay!" I felt something was wrong with his face at first sight, but I didn't dare to ask, so I drove back to the county silently.
When passing by Sangesi, Lu An suddenly called to stop, pointed to a group of geese in the field on the roadside and asked: "Do you know anyone around here? I want to buy a goose to eat."
Chu Jian said without thinking: "I know all the neighbors here. Brother, please wait, I will be back soon."
After a while, Chu Jian came back with a urea bag, climbed onto the road and asked: "I picked the biggest one, it weighs 12 pounds. Is it enough? Do you want to buy another one?"
Lu An greeted: "That's enough, get in the car."
Chu Jian waved his hand, "No, brother, please drive back first. I'll borrow a bicycle to avoid getting the car dirty."
For Chu Jian, the company's car gave him a lot of face. It was a precious thing but he couldn't bear to get it dirty.
Lu An tried to persuade him several times, but seeing that he was so arrogant, he didn't care anymore and went back to the county seat.
After returning home, Lu An was busy killing and plucking the goose. It was not until dark that the goose stewed in the iron pot was brought to the table.
Smelling the fragrance, Meng Zhenhai, who came back from get off work, said as soon as he walked in: "Oh, what a coincidence. Your Aunt Meng called before and said that she also killed geese at home and left one for us. I didn't expect you to kill one too. I It’s a good meal.”
Then he told his daughter: "Qingshui, help me get a bottle of wine. Such a good dish. I want to have a good drink with Xiao An today."
Meng Qingshui didn't think it was strange at first, but when he heard what his father said, his eyes flashed, and he immediately figured out the reason. It was estimated that Lu An was rejected by his mother, and he came back to eat the goose in revenge.
As for why you were rejected by your mother?
Meng Qingshui knew the answer almost without thinking. It was probably related to her sister and herself.
Combined with what happened in the kitchen yesterday, it seemed like his mother was forcing him to leave his sister.
There are many reasons why I guess my mother is biased towards me. The most intuitive ones are age and public opinion.
His sister is so much older than him, so age won’t matter.
The public opinion is: Now the relatives and friends of the Meng family have subconsciously bound themselves to him. Even his father, brother and sister-in-law think so.
Will he leave his sister as his mother wishes?
Looking at the goose stewed in an iron pot on the table, she almost got the answer.
However, Meng Qingshui didn't reveal anything, and pretended not to know, brought a bottle of liquor over, and then filled it up for the two of them.
