The winter vacation means that the Spring Festival is not far away.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Chen's father and Chen's mother rushed back and came back with a blanket roll.

"Dad, a friend of mine said that the county will repair the building next year, he contracted it, and asked me to help him next year. After dinner, the family got together and started chatting.

Grandpa Chen said lightly: "I don't care about being idle, anyway, you are all grown up, and you just need to know what you do in your heart." ”

Hearing her son say that she will work in the county next year, it will be close to home, and Granny Chen is very happy. Children are the treasures of mothers, and for mothers-in-law, sons are even more so, and their sons are more down-to-earth when they stay by their side.

After the New Year, the weather warmed up, everything recovered, the children started school, Chen's father also went to work in the county, and Chen's mother stayed at home.

At the end of April, when the apricots were ripe, it was the birthday of Luo's grandmother, and it happened to be Saturday, and the family went early in the afternoon, and Chen's father also returned.

The next morning, after breakfast, I was going home, and my grandfather pulled Chen's father and said, "The apricots are ripe, pick some and go back." ”

At this time, several apricot trees in front of the courtyard dam are full of red apricots. This kind of apricot is the kind of ordinary apricot sold on the market, which is more precocious than the apricot of Xiaoxi's family, which is relatively large, twice as big as this.

Chen's father picked it from the tree, Chen's mother picked it up with a bag under the tree, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin picked up the food in the bag, and Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen's mother-in-law and a few other elderly people gossiped on the street.

"Guihua, the two children haven't been to the county seat yet, and today happens to be Sunday, or we will take them to the county seat. Watching the two children on the ground who were sour on the ground began to pick up the apricots that had fallen on the ground, and then took out the cores inside, Chen's father suggested.

Chen's mother was very hesitant, if she went to the county town with her children to play, her parents-in-law would probably be unhappy, and if she felt that she had instigated it, her parents-in-law would mumble in front of her.

Without waiting for Chen's mother to say anything, the two little guys took the lead and said excitedly: "If you want it, we will go to the county seat." ”

Seeing that Father Chen didn't answer him, but only looked at Mother Chen, the two little guys turned their heads and looked at Mother Chen. Mother Chen looked at the three people who were looking at her fixedly in front of her, and suddenly felt that she was Alexander!

But the two children were so looking forward to it that they couldn't say anything about refusal, so they said in a hurry: "But my parents are ......."

"Okay, let's go to the county seat today. Chen's father said to the two children, and then looked at Chen's mother, "It's okay, anyway, the family is not busy now, they won't say anything." He didn't take his daughter-in-law's worries to heart at all, and said casually.

Xiaoxi listened to this natural word, and almost couldn't help but hold his forehead, Dad, don't you know that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born enemies in this world? Although your own family can't reach the enemy, the relationship is not very good! My own son has never taken me to the county seat to play, but I took my daughter-in-law first, who is not sad and complaining!

However, Xiaoxi doesn't worry about these things now, anyway, there is a grandfather, and the mother-in-law's anger comes and goes quickly. pouted, didn't say anything, and continued to pick up apricot pits with Chen Yubin.

Seeing that a bag was packed, Chen's father came down from the tree, and the group of people returned to the middle of the street. When my grandfather saw that a few people had come back, Father Chen was carrying a bag in his hand, so he smiled and complained: "There are so many apricots, why don't you pick some more?" Anyway, we can't finish eating, and it's a pity that it will rot on the ground when the time comes. ”

Father Chen raised the bag in his hand, "So much, enough, this can't be eaten, and in two days, the apricots in our house can also be eaten." ”

Seeing this, Grandpa Chen didn't have too early, so he said to his grandfather: "That's right, brother, we'll go back after delaying you so much." ”

"Dad. Father Chen suddenly interrupted and said to Grandpa Chen, "Dad, I want to take Guihua and the two children to the county seat for a day." ”

When Granny Chen heard this, her face changed, and she looked at Chen's mother's expression wrong, but she knew that this was her daughter-in-law's maiden home, and her grandfather's family was also a relative of her family for many years, so she didn't say anything, but her face was very ugly.

Grandpa Chen looked at his daughter-in-law, looked at his grandfather again, and then said to Chen's father: "That's right, anyway, the house is not busy, and it is right for you to take them to play for a day, but remember that the two children will have class tomorrow." Then he bowed his head and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin: "Xiaoxi Binbin, go to the county seat with your father to have fun, come back and talk to grandpa about what is interesting in the county." ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly smiled gratefully, and said flatteringly: "Well, we will, when we come back, we will definitely tell grandpa and mother-in-law about the liveliness of the county, and I will bring you delicious food." Chen Yubin also nodded seriously on the side.

The people around him laughed, and the mother-in-law's face improved a lot, and Xiaoxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With a smile, Grandpa Chen said to the grandfather on the side, "Brother, then we'll go." ”

"That's right. After speaking, he complained and said, "It's all said, let you play for two days, and you haven't been busy for these two days, but you just don't listen." Then slow down on the road and pay attention to safety!"

"Well, if you don't have any busy family in two days, you'll come down and play. ”

"Well, yes. ”

Seeing that the four of them were far away, Granny Chen complained: "Why do you agree, there are so many things in the house, and they should go to school tomorrow Binbin, and even if Binbin and them go, you can ask Guihua to stay at the top of the house! Oh, let her go out and be happy, and leave me busy at the top of the house." ”

Knowing that his wife was uncomfortable, Grandpa Chen persuaded: "Okay, okay, they will come back tomorrow at the latest, and they will go to school tomorrow in Xiaoxi, and they will let them go to Xianxin if they haven't been to the county seat in Xiaoxi." There are still two children who are still young, so they have to be taken care of by their mothers, or do you think your son can take care of them? Besides, the in-laws are all here just now, can I refuse?"

Granny Chen thought about it again and again, and felt that it was the same, just go, what else could she do.

"Alright, don't think about it. ”

Granny Chen's eyes plucked, "Who thinks too much." After speaking, he crossed Grandpa Chen and walked in front with great strides.

The four of them walked for half an hour to the township, and at this time, the only means of transportation from the village to the township were motorcycles and two legs. Then I spent a few more dollars to get to the county seat.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in the county, so I bought clothes for Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, with short sleeves and shorts. When Xiaoxi and the two tried on the clothes and they fit well, Father Chen asked them to wear them directly without taking them off. But Xiaoxi developed a habit in his previous life, no matter what kind of clothes he bought, he had to wash them before he could wear them, so he took them off and put them in a bag, but Chen Yubin was very stinky and showed off when he wore them.

was going to buy clothes for Chen's mother, but Chen's mother thought that her in-laws would be unhappy when she came to the county, and it was nothing to buy clothes for her children, and if she didn't buy them for herself, it was estimated that there would be a war of words, so forget it.

Turning around, a few people came to the fruit stall, and there were a lot of fruits at this time. Chen's father picked two or three catties of red and bright crisp nectarines and two catties of loquats, which are the kind of big loquat sold on the market, a pound of strawberries, and then bought a piece of pineapple for each of the two children. The pineapples on the fruit stalls are usually cut into pieces and skewered with bamboo skewers and soaked in salt water, which is easy to sell. Because there is something in pineapple that irritates the mouth, the tongue will not be able to stand it if you eat too much, and you will not be able to eat it if you buy too much, so it is just right one piece at a time.

After eating two bites, Xiaoxi couldn't stand it anymore, so Chen's mother took it and ate it.

After turning around twice, it was almost twelve o'clock, and it was time for lunch, so Chen's father found a restaurant and led the family in.

I ordered a salt-fried pork, a cucumber, a small fried meat, and a big bowl of rice, and the family of four had a delicious meal.

After eating, Chen's father took the three of them back to where he lived. It was a six-story building, which was considered a high-rise building in the county seat at that time.

Chen's father and they live on the sixth floor, there is no elevator at this time, and the creeks climb out of breath before going up, it seems that their daily exercise is not enough, and they have to go back more aggravated.

There are four one-meter-five wire mesh beds in the house, the room is very large, it looks empty, each bed is made, obviously someone lives in it.

Chen's father pointed to a bed and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, "This is my bed, you two can go up and sleep for a while." "Both children had the habit of taking naps, so they took off their shoes and went to bed without saying anything.

When Xiaoxi woke up, he was happy to see Chen Yubin sitting at the head of the bed eating.

"Sister, you're awake, come and eat fruit. Seeing that his sister was awake, Chen Yubin handed the bowl in his arms forward.

Knowing why his brother woke up so early, Xiaoxi poked his forehead and scolded with a smile: "You snack goods, no wonder you got up so early, I was afraid that these fruits would be spoiled!"

Chen Yubin didn't refute, just looked at Xiaoxi and smirked, but his mouth didn't stop.

After looking around the room, Xiaoxi asked, "Where are they, Dad?"

"They said to go down there for a while and come back in a moment. ”

"Oh, oops, eat a little more, what if you eat too much and can't walk?" Xiaoxi hurriedly picked up the bowl and protected it.

"Sister, it's still early, give me another strawberry. Seeing that his sister snatched it, Chen Yubin knew that he couldn't rob her, so he said coquettishly.

Xiaoxi really gave him one, and then quickly eliminated the rest of the bowl, leaving Chen Yubin with no illusions. But that resentful look fell on the body, really, alas!

After a while, Mom and the others still did not come back, and Xiaoxi and the two were bored in the house, because the door was locked from the outside, and they could not get out.

Xiaoxi clamped her legs hard, "Hiss...... Binbin, Mom, when are they coming back? I want to go to the toilet!"

Chen Yubin pointed to a bucket in the corner and said, "There, Dad said, go there if you pee." ”

Xiaoxi looked at the urine bucket, very speechless, how many years have I not used this thing, ah, Xiaoxi clamped her legs harder, no way, people can't be suffocated to death by a bubble of urine.
