Chapter 43: Big Sister
Listening to the sound of Jiang Yuxia lifting the lid of the pot in the kitchen, Lin Xiaowan took off her coat, put on an old dress that she used to have at home, and hurriedly went out to help Jiang Yuxia cook.
Jiang Yuxia saw Lin Xiaowan come out and said, "What are you doing when you come out, hurry up and sit in the house." ”
"Mother, I cook a lot of dishes today, I'll help you. Lin Xiaowan said, scooped water, washed her hands, and helped Jiang Yuxia wash potatoes.
"I really don't need your help, I'll pick up the mushrooms and come back in the morning, let her help me, you go in quickly." Jiang Yuxia said and came over to snatch the basin in Lin Xiaowan's hand.
Lin Xiaowan didn't let go: "Mother, I'm your daughter, can't I help you work early and at noon, why can't I?"
Saying this, Jiang Yuxia didn't know how to refute: "Then you can help me wash the vegetables, and you don't need anything else." ”
Lin Xiaowan responded first: "Well, I can still talk to my mother here." "I washed the potatoes here and scraped the skins of the potatoes.
Jiang Yuxia looked at her daughter who was quick with her hands and feet, and she also felt that something was different, but she couldn't tell where it was, but she felt that she really made her heart so steady.
At this time, a familiar voice came from the yard: "Mother, I'm back, no one is going to this place today, I picked up a basket, and I'll go and bring an extra bag in the afternoon." ”
Lin Xiaowan listened to Lin Xiaozao's voice, her nose was a little sour, she put down the potatoes in her hand, shook her hand and ran out, looking at Lin Xiaozao, she hugged her eldest sister: "Xiaozao." After speaking, I couldn't help but shed tears.
In fact, she didn't want to cry, because she felt that she had been separated from them for decades, in fact, in their hearts, she had left home for half a month, but she really couldn't control it, seeing her relatives, seeing these people who were really good to her, she just couldn't help these tears.
Lin Xiaozao was completely blindfolded by Lin Xiaowan's embrace, her hands were dirt and she didn't dare to touch Lin Xiaowan, for fear that Lin Xiaowan would be angry, so she stood there stiffly.
Jiang Yuxia also came out and said: "Xiaowan, Xiaozao hasn't changed her clothes yet, it's all dirt, you hurry up and let her wash her hands, and your sisters will talk again." ”
Lin Xiaowan wiped her tears and took Lin Xiaozao's hand: "Xiaozao, sister misses you." ”
This sentence of missing you warmed Lin Xiaozao's heart, she couldn't feel how she was close to this sister before, but she didn't expect that her sister, who thought she would not come back if she got married, changed so much about herself when she came back.
She cracked her mouth and smiled: "Eldest sister, I miss you too." ”
Lin Xiaowan wiped the tears that couldn't help falling, and said, "How do I like to hear you call me eldest sister, and call me again." "In my previous life, I could only hear such a beautiful voice in my dreams.
Lin Xiao didn't understand what happened to this sister, but when she got better, her father and mother were happy, and of course she was willing to be intimate with her sisters, so she called her eldest sister again.
Jiang Yuxia looked at the two girls so well, smiled and went in to continue cooking.
Lin Xiaowan rubbed her nose: "Xiaozao, the eldest sister bought you clothes, you wash your hands and try to see if it is appropriate." ”
Although Lin Xiaozao stopped going to school early and was more mature, she was still a little girl after all, how could she not be happy when she heard about the new clothes, but after thinking about it, she still said to Lin Xiaowan: "Sister, I work hard when I see the sky, I don't need to wear a good one, give it to Xiaowu, she should wear better clothes to school." ”
Lin Xiaowan smiled and touched her sister's face: "You stupid girl, you think about others for everything, and the eldest sister bought it for you." ”
Saying this, Lin Xiao had already been a little excited that couldn't be concealed: "Eldest sister, really?"
Lin Xiaowan walked to the Yangjing and scooped up the water from the washbasin and put it on the wooden stool in the yard: "Wash your hands first." As he spoke, he took the towel from the clothesline and handed it over.
Lin Xiaozao was still a little unaccustomed to enjoying Lin Xiaowan pouring water for the first time, so he washed his hands and face with a smile, and then took the towel with a smile and wiped his face.
At this time, Lu Zhanbei also came out: "Xiaozao is back." ”
Lin Xiaozao looked at Lu Zhanbei and was still a little cramped, so he stood up and greeted Lu Zhanbei in a special manner: "Brother-in-law." ”
Lu Zhanbei found that he liked this title so much, so that he felt more like Lin Xiaowan's husband, and said with a smile: "Well, your sister has always been thinking about you and Xiaowu." ”
Lin Xiaowan pulled Lin Xiaozao to the house: "I chose the clothes for you with your brother-in-law, you can come and take a look." "Lu Zhanbei said good things to himself, and he had to give him enough face.
After entering the house, Lin Xiaowan asked Lu Zhanbei to open all those bags, which should have been opened when he came back, but it turned out that grandma Li Lanhua made a fuss, and she forgot about it, so she quickly took out all the things at this time.
Lu Zhanbei put all the cigarettes, wine, sugar and tea on the kang table: "Dad, this is to honor you and your mother." ”
Lin Xiaowan took out all the snacks and candy cubes and put them on the table, then took out the fabrics, took them out and put them on the kang and said, "Dad, this is for you and my mother, and that piece of Nizi is for my milk." ”
Lin Anyong looked at so many things: "Why do you buy so many things, Xiaowan, why are you so ignorant, why do you let Zhanbei buy so many things?"
Lu Zhanbei hurriedly said: "Dad, this time the door should have been bought, and it is not expensive, we can't take too much when we reverse the car, if it is not enough, why should we buy it again." ”
Lin Anyong hurriedly waved his hand: "What else is there to buy, how much does it cost, you are also the same, this ......" He was out of words again.
Lin Xiaowan took out the clothes she bought for her two younger sisters, opened them and put them on the kang: "Xiaozao, let's see if you like it?" ”
Lin Xiao hadn't worn new clothes for many years, and she was wearing Lin Xiaowan's leftovers, such new and popular clothes, she was a little afraid to touch them: "Sister, this dress is really for me?"
Lin Xiaowan looked at her sister like this, and she was even more sad, all these years, the eldest sister has not worn new clothes, she has worn the leftovers for her, and all of them have patches, she used to feel that her father and mother were not good to her, and she was really covered with lard.
She smiled and said, "Well, for you, this light green one suits you, you are quiet, give Xiaowu the yellow one." ”
Lin Xiaozao stretched out his hand and touched it: "Eldest sister, why don't you keep it and wear it, I have nowhere to wear it." ”
Lin Xiaowan touched her sister's shoulder distressedly: "Why don't you have a place to wear it, how beautiful you are to dress at home, it's a pity that you don't dress up at this age." ”
At this time, Jiang Yuxia simmered the rice and came in, because there was a pot at home, and she had to wait for the rice to be ready, and then use this pot to fry the vegetables, so there was also a little free time in the middle, so she also came in.
Seeing this beautiful dress, when I saw two of them, I knew that Lin Xiaowan bought them for my two younger sisters, for fear that Lu Zhanbei would be unhappy: "Xiaowan, why don't you know how to live like this? How much does it cost, Zhanbei works so hard, is it easy to earn money? How can you spend it like this?"
