Chapter 34: Going Far Away
As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng picked up the shoes again and said, "The shoes are okay, this wheel with a bottom is stronger than a mille-feuille bottom." ”
Mrs. Zheng looked at her shoes and clothes over and over, and then checked the rice and white noodles she had sent, then sat down on the kang, looked at the two children standing on the ground and asked, "Did your mother send clothes and food stamps to your uncle and uncle?"
Lin Weiguo replied cautiously: "Grandma, I just came back from the pastoral area, and I don't know about this. I guess my mom sent it, right?"
He pondered and said, "Even if you don't send it now, you will definitely send it before the year." ”
Mrs. Zheng seemed to have just realized that her grandson had just returned from the pastoral area, glanced Lin Weiguo up and down, and asked in a softened tone, "When did Zilu come back, is it okay over there?"
Lin Weiguo nodded and replied, "It's okay." But there was no point in saying more.
"It's good for you, there is still a period of time before the New Year, so you came back early, your brother-in-law is pitiful, staying alone in Qiyuan County, I don't know when I will be able to go home on vacation, and I don't know if I have lost weight in the countryside?
My poor son, who has suffered so much, is all due to your mother and your father's two wolf-hearted things. ”
Mrs. Zheng was angry when she talked about her youngest son, but she was not angry with her youngest son, but angry with her daughter and son-in-law.
"Your Lin family is a litter of wolf-hearted things, tricking our whole family to come here, and then throwing it away, causing your brother-in-law to go to the countryside to farm, when the soil is so easy to eat and eat?
Your brother-in-law has been weak since he was a child, and I don't know what he has been tossed into now!
And your second uncle, he is even more pitiful, your father, who lost his conscience, wanted to kill the people of our old Zheng family, and deceived your second uncle to go down the mine, and there were accidents all day long in the mine, my heart ......"
As soon as Mrs. Zheng complained, she didn't finish, and Lin Zijiao rolled her eyes when she heard it.
She muttered secretly: It's really not enough to swallow elephants, if my father doesn't bring you here, won't your family all eat in the soil? Besides, what's wrong with being an educated youth, my brother is still a knowledgeable youth!
The conditions in Qiyuan County are much stronger than those in Wulin Banner!
Lin Weiguo didn't say a word, listened with a calm face, and didn't explain that he came back early because he was injured.
He knew that even if he said that he was injured, Mrs. Zheng's attitude would not change, and she might scold him for being fake and positive.
It was easy to wait for Mrs. Zheng to stop when she was tired of scolding, and Lin Weiguo hurriedly interjected: "Grandma, let's go back, there is still work to be done at home." ”
Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyelids and looked at her grandson and granddaughter, and didn't say that she would leave them to eat, and waved her hand: "Let's go! Get out of here, they're all white-eyed wolves that can't be fed!"
Lin Zijiao was about to be laughed at by this unreasonable old woman, and said in his heart You didn't give us food, even if we were white-eyed wolves, you didn't feed us?
Instead, we came to bring you food and clothing, okay?
It turns out that Sister Zijin's grandmother is like this!
"Then grandma, you are busy, Zijin and I will go back first, you can go to the house when you are free, and if you have something, you can send a letter. Lin Weiguo was not annoyed, and pulled Lin Zijiao out.
Mrs. Zheng followed out and locked the courtyard door, and the dairy goat began to call when she saw someone coming out.
Mrs. Zheng scolded again when she saw the sheep: "Your parents are not well-intentioned, and they have to worry about such a cowardly thing, saying that it is to give me goat milk, so how many sips can I drink?"
I see that they are tired and not willing to die, so I look forward to my old woman's death......"
In the scolding, Lin Weiguo didn't dare to say more, and pulled Lin Zijiao almost trotted out of the door.
Counting nine cold days, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Lin Weiguo's head, he looked back at the closed door of his grandmother's house, and whispered: "Alas, it is estimated that this year's year will be difficult again." ”
"Why?" Lin Zijiao asked casually.
She was still thinking about the unreasonable Mrs. Zheng, and she would have to call this kind of old lady grandma in the next few decades, so she held her breath for the Lin sisters: "Grandma doesn't seem to kiss us at all." ”
"Alas, our grandson is the right root, our surname is Lin and not Zheng, and it is normal for grandma not to kiss us. Lin Weiguo shook his head, unwilling to say why he had a bad New Year, and pulled his sister home.
"But why doesn't grandma follow our family with my uncle, and why is it a bad New Year?" Lin Zijiao was still asking questions as he walked.
Lin Weiguo shook his head and refused to say: "Don't worry so much about the doll's family, this year's New Year will definitely be unstable again, but it has nothing to do with your children." ”
Lin Zijiao wanted to say that eldest brother, I am actually in my forties this year, and I am not a child.
But she really couldn't say this, she just asked intuitively: "Why, grandma often makes trouble?"
"And the uncle and the uncle also love to make trouble. Lin Weiguo shook his head: "As for the second uncle, it's not a matter of worry, but he said it." Forget it, let's hurry home, today Qiangzi and his sister got married, and I said I'd go to help. ”
Lin Zijiao was actually very curious, but seeing that Lin Weiguo didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask any more, thinking that it was almost the New Year anyway, and she would know everything by then.
For her, the top priority is to go back to her grandfather's house as soon as possible to see how she is doing in this era, the real Lin Zijiao.
……
……
A few days later, Lin Zijiao finally looked forward to the day of returning to his hometown.
Lin Weiguo lined up to buy tickets, and Lin Zijiao sat on a wooden bench in the ticket room, responsible for guarding the things they brought.
There were two noodle bags on the chair next to her, which contained 20 catties of white flour and 20 catties of rice.
The large cloth pocket sewn by his own house contained two pieces of dark blue fabric, a bag of brown sugar, several large wheels for the soles of his shoes, and two pale green green soaps.
This is what I brought to my grandparents back home.
Strictly speaking, Zheng Guihua is a good daughter-in-law, although she is extremely partial to her mother's family, but she can do a good job for the old people and brothers on her mother-in-law's side.
Lin Zijiao remembers that his grandmother seemed to like this kind of green soap wrapped in pale green wrapping paper very much.
The old lady's use of soap is also unique.
She was reluctant to open the wrapper and use it, but from time to time she put the soap under her nose and smelled it, and usually put the soap in a small cabinet on the kang and used it as a spice.
It wasn't until the fragrance was so faint that I could barely smell it, so I was willing to take it out and use it.
Compared with many daughters-in-law who only care about their mother's family, ignore their mother-in-law's family, or only care about their own old people, Zheng Guihua can know and satisfy her mother-in-law's special hobby, and she can be regarded as a filial daughter-in-law.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, the queue to buy tickets was very long, and Lin Zijiao turned his head to see Lin Weiguo from time to time.
Lin Weiguo was in the middle of the line, and as the team slowly moved towards the window, Lin Zijiao watched with a blank eye, and it was his turn to have three more people.
In a dozen hours, I will be able to see myself and my parents in my previous life.
Lin Zijiao felt that this thing seemed very absurd.
