"You're all back, what about Cai Ming? A few children asked about him. Qiao's mother tucked the quilt for Qiao Jiayue and Cai Ping, and went to the hall with Cai's mother to drink tea.

"We just came out, and we didn't contact him, so we came to Pingping first. Speaking of her youngest son, Cai's mother was also worried.

"Where has he been transferred?, is there still a level of secrecy for the conductor?" said Qiao's mother in a low voice.

Cai's mother blinked, and suddenly remembered something, "Maybe there is." ”

For example, leaders travel.

Qiao's mother sighed, yes, it's another topic that is not suitable for talking.

"Don't talk about these bad things. Cai's mother shook her head, "I see that your brigade is getting better and better, and many people have built brick houses." ”

Qiao's mother smiled and nodded, "The brigade burns bricks and tiles by itself, which is cheaper than buying them." ”

And the income from the side hustle is also quite a lot, saving for a few years to build a house.

"You are the captain of the production team, and it is not easy to have a bad time. Mother Cai felt that the house where Qiao's father and they were living now was really not suitable for their identity.

"I also prepared, but I didn't have the time, and I built it during the two years of farming. ”

Qiao's mother said, got up and took out a can of dried strawberries, "Come, eat it with tea, it tastes good." ”

The two chatted for a long time before going to sleep, Cai's mother was a little surprised, thinking that Qiao's mother was really not an ordinary country woman, no wonder she raised several children so well.

The next day, Qiao's mother packed up some things, rice, sweet potatoes, finch wheat and various vegetables, and packed several sacks.

Cai's mother did not refuse, but decided in her heart that she must buy more things next time.

The tractor is going to send a batch of live pigs to the commune today, just to send the Cai family away.

I have to say that as a captain, he can drive a tractor, which is indeed a lot more convenient at some times.

Seeing Cai Ping being picked up, many people believed that Cai Ping was really staying, not a child daughter-in-law.

Those who had gossiped behind their backs were a little sneering, and they felt a little pain in their faces.

There is one less person in the family, Qiao Jiayue is still a little unaccustomed, and there is no one to warm the bed.

As soon as Cai Ping left, it was closer to the time of the New Year, and it was colder.

Qiao Sigu simply packed up some things, ran to find Qiao's mother, the two of them made New Year's goods together, and then one person divided a part, so that the speed was fast and the people were relaxed.

The main reason is that the house she and Lu Aijun live in now is too small, and the kitchen is a little bit, and it can't be used.

And the twins are just when they are naughty, so it's not easy to bring.

"Xiao Yu, this kid is following you now?" Qiao's mother asked Fourth Aunt Qiao while kneading the dough.

Looking at him, he is more silent than before, but he is quite attentive to taking care of the twins.

Qiao Sigu sighed, "This kid is stubborn, and he used to be close to the old man. Now that the old man is gone, no one is happy to raise him. ”

After all, it's not the blood of the Lu family, it's just a child adopted by the old man, what is there to care about.

Aijun had a good relationship with Xiao Yu, so he called him to come to the house for dinner. Qiao Sigu sighed, and didn't say that Xu Yu swore to them at the time that he would repay them in the future.

"He looks like a good boy, I remember that he was a boarding student in junior high school. Qiao's mother still remembers that her son took Xu Yu home for dinner.

"Yes, he was stubborn, and if he had to stay, we went with him. ”

Qiao's mother flattened the cakes and pasted them on the pot, "How many cakes do you want?"

Fourth Aunt Qiao glanced into the pot, "Fifty, second sister-in-law, the cakes you made are delicious." ”

"Your brigade has a bad harvest this year?" Qiao's mother moved quickly and chatted about gossip.

After all, it's the team next door, and they are still relatively well-informed with each other.

Qiao Sigu smiled bitterly: "No, now it's lazy to work, a day's work has to be done for three days, there is more work, less harvest, and less of this share." ”

"I remember that your brigade has not corrected this trend?" Qiao Mu asked suspiciously, the cadres of the Changshan Brigade would not be so incompetent.

"Since my grandfather passed away, the cadres of this brigade have not been single-minded, and they have made a lot of trouble. Fourth Aunt Qiao was also a little helpless.

How can the members of the club be able to convince the public by grinding foreign workers in the collective fields and being as diligent as bees in their own fields, and the families of the cadres of the brigade taking the lead in doing so?

No one wants to work hard and end up with as much food as a lazy man.

"I envy the Alpine Brigade, the cadres of the brigade are well managed, and the members are diligent, and they don't have to eat sweet potatoes and wild vegetables all year round. ”

In this regard, Qiao's mother didn't know how to comfort Aunt Qiao, "No matter what, it's better than famine." ”

Qiao Sigu has only been separated for less than a year, and she has no pigs, so she can only buy meat from the team.

Qiao's mother specially left her a pig's trotter and fried more balls.

"By the way, you will go to see your mother later, she will be very sick on the winter solstice. Qiao's mother thought of something, so she took out a big bowl, filled a bowl of bone broth, added a few more ribs, and asked Qiao Sigu to go over and take a look.

Qiao Sigu pursed her lips, "If you don't go and see, I don't know how to arrange my girl." ”

"You're talking nonsense. ”

"Heh, when I didn't know, Abba, he was thinking about Qiao Lilan, but people didn't take him to heart. ”

Qiao Sigu's face was full of sarcasm, and Qiao's mother was stunned, "Lijuan, you ......"

Fourth Aunt Qiao glanced at Qiao's mother and pouted, "Second sister-in-law, I know everything, why did my mother run to her mother's house, she thinks that her niece is her daughter, and everything good will be sent over there." ”

Qiao's mother opened her eyes, she only knew a little thing about Qiao Lilan, the fifth aunt of Qiao, and the rest was not so clear.

It looks like it's a puddle of blood.

Qiao Jiayue was about to come to the kitchen to find something to eat, but she didn't want to hear these words.

When she saw that Aunt Qiao was about to come out with a soup pot, she hid to the side, always feeling as if she knew something terrible.

When Fourth Aunt Qiao walked out of the gate, Qiao Jiayue chased after her, "Fourth Aunt, I'll go with you." ”

Unless necessary, Qiao Jiayue didn't like to go to Grandpa Qiao's house, but now she was curious and wanted to go over to see the excitement.

Fourth Aunt Qiao walked to Grandpa Qiao's house with a soup pot, Grandma Qiao was at the door to collect the soles of her shoes, and when she saw Fourth Aunt Qiao coming, she snorted, "I still know to come to see my mother, I thought you regarded your second brother's house as your mother's house." ”

The corners of Qiao Sigu's mouth twitched, and she glared at Grandma Qiao, "It's rare for me to come back, don't you have a good word?"

"Hehe, what's the matter, I can't compare to that niece of yours, right? Fourth Aunt Qiao put the soup pot in front of Grandma Qiao, and the greasy soup splashed out.

Grandma Qiao was so distressed that she glared at Aunt Qiao, "Your hands are cramping, you won't put the bowl well!"

She was really angry, this stinky girl was born to be angry with him.

"Yes, I'm a stinky girl, you gave birth to it. ”

"If you don't eat, if you don't eat, I'll pour it into the ditch. Qiao Sigu said indifferently, reaching out to get the bowl.

Grandma Qiao hurriedly put down the insoles and reached out to stop them, this girl really did what she said.

It's a shame to pour out so much pork rib soup like this.
