Chapter 012: Moving
"Mom, let's move to the county. ”
Xu Ning said his previous thoughts, which he thought of when he found the girder moth. Her mother can't be bullied here like this, just because her mother is a second marriage and she is good-looking, she is ostracized, she doesn't want her mother to be wronged, and she feels very sorry for her.
Li Xiumei exclaimed as soon as she heard that she was going to move to the county, and after being surprised, she objected: "No, how expensive the house is in the county, how much does it cost to rent a house every month!"
"Mom, don't you know how to garden, there are many people in the county, it must be good to open a flower shop. "Even Xu Ning has thought about the future plan.
In her yard, there are all kinds of flowers planted by her mother, although they are wildflowers on the mountain, and they are also given to many people in the village. Later, I learned that my grandfather used to be a florist, and his family was engaged in flower garden wholesale, and my mother also learned a lot of planting and raising flowers.
"This ...... We don't have any money! We need money to open a shop and rent a house, and your tuition fees, and you know the situation of our family......
Li Xinmei really has a headache now, if the old house falls, who in the village is willing to take in their family, she doesn't have so much money to build a house again, the little money left by her mother-in-law is ready for the two children to go to school, and that money is not enough to build a house, even if you rent a store in the county, it doesn't cost anything, and the two children will sign up in more than 20 days, where can you get so much money......
"Mom, why don't we go to the town in the next few days and then make plans?" Xu Ning asked softly.
Knowing that she would not be able to accept her mother to move suddenly, she would go to the county first to have a look and find a suitable house.
When the two entered the house, Li Xiumei didn't believe what Xu Ning said just now, and specially carried the wooden ladder to climb up to see the girder, and found that most of the insects were bored!
I got down the ladder with a lot of worries, and I couldn't do anything all day long. It's not good to sit, and it's not good to go out to work. As a result, when I cooked the rice, I fried all the dishes to a pulp.
"Sister, what's wrong with Mom? Something looks wrong?"
The stone man was small, but he asked strangely when he saw his mother holding chopsticks in a daze.
"Mom, eat, don't worry, let's go to the county tomorrow to have a look, if it doesn't work, we will renovate the house, but it costs a lot of money to renovate such an old house, so it's better to rebuild it...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”
The old house has lived for three generations, it is old everywhere, the wood is rotten, and even if it is to be renovated, it is better not to buy a lot of materials than not to rebuild it.
But Xu Ning means that she doesn't want to continue to live here, the neighbors around her are not good at this, and her mother is always angry, so she might as well move away.
"Sister, are we moving?" exclaimed the stone, obviously surprised.
"Not necessarily, wait for Mom to make a decision!"
Xu Ning is now a child, and the head of the family is her mother, so let her mother decide this kind of major matter. After all, my mother has lived here for ten years, and she has some feelings, so it is normal to be reluctant to move away, and her father used to be good to her, and her grandmother also favored her as a daughter-in-law.
Li Xiumei absentmindedly finished eating, came to the side house, and burned incense to the tablets of Shi's father and parents-in-law. Even if there was a move, she would take their spirit tablets with her. Since the death of her in-laws, the Ergui family does not worship during the New Year's holidays, and as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she cannot be ungrateful.
If it weren't for Father Shi, she and Xu Ning's mother and daughter would have frozen to death on the street. So no matter how difficult it is, she has to protect this family and raise the two children.
When I went out, I saw my daughter enjoying the shade in the courtyard.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, let's go inside!" At the beginning of August, in the hot summer night, mosquitoes buzzed and screamed, and if you were not careful, you would be bitten in big red envelopes.
"Mom, take my piece of jade as one!" said a cold Xu Ning.
"What piece of jade? Our family is so poor, how can there be such a valuable thing. ”
"Mom, don't pretend you don't know, it's my inhuman father who left it, be it, I haven't heard from me for so many years, and you have remarried, it is impossible to have anything to do with him anymore, when you have money, we can move to the county." ”
On her birthday last year, she saw that her mother secretly took a piece of jade pendant with a beautiful body, such a poor family actually has such a thing, she asked her mother very strangely, her mother probably remembered her biological father before, so she didn't recover her consciousness, so she said casually, your father left it for you.
The stepfather's family is not a rich family, and if there is, it should be left to the stone, and it is impossible to leave her a daughter who wants the outside world in the future, although her mother put away the jade pendant afterwards and did not take it out again, but she was sure that the jade pendant must have been left by his biological father.
"No, it was left to you by your father, and if you want to go back in the future, you can still use ......"
"Go back, where you go, where you are, my home is there, it doesn't matter who my father is, I just want to live with you. ”
Xu Ning can't calculate his life experience in this life, but a man can abandon his wife and daughter, no matter how good it is, she doesn't want it, even if his family is very wealthy.
"You, your temperament is becoming more and more like him now...... I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing......" Li Xiumei muttered in a low voice.
In the past, Xu Ning was a little curious about her life experience, but now she really doesn't want to explore it at all, in her previous life, she had a respected status and many disciples, and in the end she didn't end up like that, so she could live again in this life, she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, she could just live a plain life.
"Mom, do you like my biological dad more or Shi dad more?" Xu Ning held his chin and looked at his mother.
Under the dim light, although my mother has been very tired in the past few years, she is still very slender and older, but she can still see that she must be a great beauty when she is young, otherwise after the death of Shi's father, many people asked her if she wanted to remarry, but she refused.
Li Xiumei looked up and was surprised that her daughter would ask her this question, thinking about it, all these years have passed in a blink of an eye, and her daughter is also twelve years old, and she can get married if she doesn't continue to study in a few years, but her feelings for these two men are different.
"Your father at that time, we were all young, didn't think about the consequences, the two parents did not agree, and when I gave birth to a child, your father disappeared, I heard that he was married again, I don't know if it is true, and then your grandparents died, my brother and sister-in-law were angry and kicked us out, it was so cold at that time, I didn't know where to go with you, fortunately I met Shi Dad, he hasn't married a daughter-in-law, so I came here with him......"
Li Xiumei fell into the memories of the past, one of the two men she loved, and the other helped her when she was most lonely, and now all she thinks about is Father Shi, that rough rural man, upright and kind, I don't mind that she was once married, and she treats A-Ning as her own daughter, and her parents-in-law are also very good to her, except for the second uncle's family, she really likes this family, but Father Shi is blessed and left early......
Xu Ning didn't understand a little, too, she didn't know much about emotional matters in her previous life, and she didn't understand these things about her mother. I only know that her mother is thinking about Father Shi now, and she has long forgotten about her own father.
"Mom, let's go into the house and sleep, tomorrow we have to go to the county to find a house. ”
This time, Li Xiumei didn't object again, and what her daughter said was right, let's go and see how much it costs to rent a house and whether it can be within their means.
