Gu Shaojun pulled his mother out of the kitchen, helped her to sit on a rattan chair in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, the mother and son talked, Gu Shaojun said: "Mom, why are you always in the kitchen? If you want to find you, you can see it directly in the kitchen, there is smoke and fire here, and the aunts are still outside when they choose vegetables, pay attention on a hot day, don't get heat stroke." ”

Zhou Huiyun smiled: "How can your mother be so delicate? You don't know that our family, there are many people, all tastes are different, the old and the young are all picky, especially these days when Shao Sickle comes home, you should pay more attention, it is not to his liking, eat less than two mouthfuls of food, your grandmother will definitely not agree, no, when it comes to cooking, I can't stop reminding, I don't stand here and stare at it, can I do it?"

"It's hard to reconcile, grandparents' diets are watched by nutritionists, you always interfere, and other people's jobs can't be done. Don't care about so much, whoever doesn't eat will be hungry. Gu Shaojun paused, and also felt that saying this was equivalent to not saying it, for many years, his mother has taken care of a large family for food, and it has become a habit, as long as she is there, no one will take the initiative to suffer from this.

"Mom, why don't you go to the military compound, you can live there with your father, and you can take care of each other. ”

"There's no need, my mother hasn't left the old mansion since she married into the Gu family, it's been more than 20 years, and now your father is already in the capital, and it's more than an hour away from him to the old mansion from the military region, it's very convenient to go back and forth, and my grandparents also hope to see him often." My mother is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she should be taken care of by her grandparents. When I married your father, he said very clearly: husband and wife are one, he went to be a soldier and was loyal to the country, and I served my parents at home and did my filial piety, which is also considered loyalty and filial piety. ”

Gu Shaojun was speechless for a while, his father's words were too good to refute.

For as long as he can remember, his father and mother have always been in this state, the two places have lived separately and separated more often, and his father has not returned home once for several years, and his mother has managed this big house with all her heart, filial piety to her grandparents, and no resentment.

When I was a child, I was not sensible, but when I grew up, I realized how much sacrifice my mother made for her husband and children, and for the whole family.

But if you think about it, you can't blame your father, he didn't bring his wife and children with the army maybe it was considered, the troops that my father stayed in for decades were either field troops or border guards, high-intensity training or missions, and even going to the battlefield, these did not allow them to be distracted, even if their families were with the army, they could not meet often, it was normal to go home in three or five months or half a year, and the station environment was remote, not to mention, the conditions were extremely harsh and difficult, such as Tibet Province and New Province in the sixties and seventies, and my father should really be unbearable and unwilling to pull his mother to suffer that hardship.

Comparing the heart to the heart, I am even more reluctant to change myself, the little daughter-in-law is delicate and delicate, how can she stand the scorching sun on the plateau and the wind and snow in the Gobi Desert?

Zhou Huilan saw her son's hair flustered, guessed what he was thinking, and patted him:

"Okay, don't think about it, now in the new era, the world is changing every day, parents can understand and accept, grandparents are not old antiques, they said: in the future, you little characters, you can go according to your own heart, if you like, build a small home outside, save yourself from squeezing together and making noise every day. Although the wedding date between you and Manman is still far away, we should also prepare a little bit, this time you have seven days off, there are a lot of things, I can't spare time, next time I come back, look around, choose a new house that you both like, you have to decorate it carefully......"

Gu Shaojun nodded: "Man Man said that her friend has a lot of good houses in his hands, and he will look at buying one when the time comes." ”

"You can't use Manman's private money! Don't talk about your salary, the family saves a sum for you every year, and it will ......increase when you get married."

"Mom, look at what you said, a son can afford to support his wife and children, and he can also support his parents. ”

"You don't have to worry about it, parents. Zhou Huilan smiled and said: "Okay, it's not over after talking about it, let's go to Manman, we should prepare, and we will leave when dinner is over." When you get there, remember to call the Tang Mansion, your Grandma Tang explained it when she went back. ”

Gu Shaojun agreed, looked at his watch, and got up to find Xiao Man.

Xiao Man and they went to the back garden at this time, Wu Xiangyun's physique was not so strong, and he barely finished the third game of badminton and did not continue, Gu Shaoying, the little ball boy who was responsible for picking up the ball, also breathed a sigh of relief, in order to reward her diligence, Xiao Man and Wu Xiangyun took her to pick impatiens and pound juice and paint her nails to play, the little girl was happy, and she didn't notice that her sister and sister-in-law whispered behind her back.

Xiao Man told Wu Xiangyun that he and Gu Shaojun were going on a date and couldn't bring a lot of light bulbs, Wu Xiangyun laughed: "Who is willing to be like your light bulbs, Shao Ying and I don't want to go, don't worry, I will take a good look at Shao Ying and take her to play, but don't be too public when you leave." ”

"Okay, I'll bring you something to eat when I get back. ”

"Wow, you want that sweet and sour wild strawberry!"

"Where do you find sweet and sour wild strawberries?"

"Hey, aren't you going to the military region on the other side of the West Mountain? There are wild strawberries in the mountains, so you can pick some by the way when you go up the mountain to play." ”

Xiao Man convinced her: "You should be on the mountain is our back garden, and pick some by the way, there are not many people who go up the mountain to play every day, even if there are wild strawberries, it will definitely not be our turn, don't look at this." ”

"Then what can you hope for?" Wu Xiangyun is definitely a foodie, so he has to ask for an answer.

"I don't know, I went back and forth all the way to see what fresh ones I could come across. ”

"Okay, remember to buy it, we'll wait for you!"

Xiaoman: "......"

You must remember that such a serious foodie will definitely not work to write a blank check, and you can't provoke it casually in the future.

Except for Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Wu Xiangyun, few people knew that Zhou Huilan was going to take Gu Shaojun and Xiaoman to the military compound, and the three of them really did not make a statement, and after dinner, Gu Shaojun drove his mother and Xiaoman away directly.

Gu Shaozheng wanted to go out to play and wanted to invite his brothers and sisters together, but he heard Wu Xiangyun say that his mother took his brother and sister-in-law to find his father, and he couldn't help but feel stuffed and ran to his grandmother to complain: "I'm not biological?

Grandma Gu was questioned by her granddaughter and grandson in the morning and evening, "Is it biological", she was angry, raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "If you are not biological, what are you looking for when you jump up and down? You still want to slap your mother to breastfeed when you are so big? and wait, when your mother helps your brother turn your daughter-in-law into the house, it is time to come and guard you!"

Gu Shaozheng touched his head and hurriedly jumped away: "She still wants to go to my brother, don't bother me! I still have to take care of my body, and I have resolutely not approached women for three and five years, let alone marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Grandma Gu heard that something was wrong, and chased after him and shouted: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you get close to women and don't marry daughters-in-law?"

"Grandma, there's nothing wrong with me, I just can't marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"If you can't marry a daughter-in-law, is that still a problem......? Oops! You can't see this disease, let your third uncle take him to the hospital early tomorrow morning!"

Gu Shaozheng was speechless, no matter how he yelled and shouted, he had to shout something wrong if there was no problem, and Ma Yu'er ran away.

was so anxious that Grandma Gu jumped behind her, thinking that it was a big deal for her grandson to have this problem, so she hurriedly talked to the old man.
