Chen Anxiu understood that it was his mother's excuse, there were a lot of wild vegetables in Dongshan, but the matter of digging wild vegetables up the mountain had to wait at least until after Qingming. His mother is used to protecting calves, for fear that he will be wronged by his grandmother, whenever this happens, his mother forgets that he is already an adult in his twenties, and he is a little doll who will not resist if he is wronged.

The sun was very warm today, Chen's mother was drying the quilt in the yard, and took out those who hadn't slept in Chen Anxiu's bed for a long time.

Chen Anxiu sent tons back to the house to do his homework, and said to Chen's mother, "I didn't say anything, I gave her the bracelet I bought, and she liked it a lot." ”

"Spend so much money to buy, she is not illiterate, can you not like it? every day said that Tianqi became a doctor, and made a lot of money, but Tianqi is not necessarily willing to buy her a bracelet to wear, she is old, but not a confused old lady, who is good to her, she knows it in her heart, but people are born biased, not to say that whoever is good to her, she must be biased, the old lady has saved a lot of things in her hands over the years, it is estimated that they have to be left to Tianqi, your third aunt has served her for more than ten years and may not be able to get something. ”

Chen Anxiu put her arm around her mother's shoulder, smiled and comforted her, "Grandma, she can give it to whoever she wants, anyway, our family doesn't lack her little things." I made money to buy you better ones. ”

"I still use you, a hairy boy, to reason with me, I have long understood, I have been married to their Chen family for almost 30 years, except when the family was separated, your grandmother gave our family two bags of corn, a bag of wheat, a small iron pot, two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, what has your grandmother given to our family over the years, our family did not rely on her for the first 30 years, and now that you have grown up, we still expect her to live with that little thing in the future? I can't live under the same roof with her, but I have only given a lot more money and things that should be given over the years, and I have never been short of her half a point, and she can't find fault with me. ”

"Mom, the most sensible thing in our family is you, otherwise, our family will have to rely on you to be in charge?" Chen Anxiu gave her a thumbs up.

Chen's mother was not bewitched by him, and knocked him with a small bamboo pole with a smile, "Go to the house, there are strawberries on the kitchen table, the five aunts on the street just sent them, you go to wash and eat tons of them, it's all ash here, don't stain all the clean clothes." ”

"Mom, why did the fifth aunt give us so much?" filled a bag full of fresh strawberries in the largest plastic bag in the supermarket.

"Last month, her family renovated the house and went to your dad to buy something, and your dad gave her a discount. The strawberries are grown in her own greenhouse. ”

"Oh, I see. "Chen's father followed others to do decoration when he was young, and then he took a small engineering team of more than a dozen people out of the city to do the work himself, a few years ago he was reluctant to go out, he rented a yard in the town, specializing in all kinds of decoration and building materials, now life in the countryside is good, there are more people who build buildings and decorate houses, and many people who do decoration near Dongshan are Chen's father's old buddies, and they are willing to take care of his business with materials, so Chen's father's business has been quite good.

"By the way, Zhuangzhuang, your boss lent you a car to use, do you want to buy something for others when you go back?"

After Chen Anxiu finished washing, he tasted one first, it was not very sweet, but it was very fresh, and when he heard his mother's words, he came out with the washed strawberries, "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to lack anything, you have all the people, don't worry about it, come, eat some strawberries." ”

Chen's mother patted the quilt, patted the clothes and washed the handles, took Mazha and sat at the door of his hall, jokingly, "I have your son, does he have it?"

Chen Anxiu sat next to her, held his chin and thought about it, and then said with certainty, "This is not true, but you are willing to give your son away?"

Chen's mother said very generously, "If you are willing, if you are not willing, as long as someone wants me, I will give it away, and I have raised it for more than 20 years." Many years later, she stumbled upon the conversation that afternoon, and felt that there were some things that should not be said.

Chen Anxiu picked a big strawberry and sent it to his mother's mouth, and said casually, "Then I'll go back and ask if you want someone?"

"You'll climb up the pole and get down to business, or I'll bring you back a stewed chicken, okay?"

Chen Anxiu immediately shook his head in disgust, "Mom, you are so earthy, as if no one has ever eaten chicken in these years." ”

"What do you know, how can those chickens fed by feed on the market have their own free-range chickens nutritious, and the stewed soup has no taste, your third grandfather of the Jiang family has said, this season, the weather is unstable, cold day by day, hot day by day, stew some chicken soup, put a few more slices of ginger, and drink it to warm up. ”

"Mom, don't stew, I don't want to stew. I went to the house to see where the tons of homework went. Carrying a pot of chicken soup to give it away, his mother came up with it, and Chen Anxiu took half of the strawberries and ran into the house.

Chen's mother looked at his fleeing back, smiled and shook her head, the child finally came back. When he sent Zhuang Zhuang to be a soldier, it was all false to say anything about protecting his family and defending the country, it was nothing more than hoping that the child would successfully take the military school entrance examination and earn a good future in the future. She didn't know what Lu Dao Zhuang was doing, but she knew that Lu Dao was at sea all the year round, and when he was abroad, she was always at ease, so she asked his father to find the fourth uncle to help, can he transfer a place for Zhuang Zhuang, the fourth uncle made it clear that he couldn't speak to the army where Zhuang Zhuang was. Zhuang Zhuang came back suddenly last year, I never heard him retire before, when he came back, the whole person was very thin, more than one meter eight people were left with a shelf, the previous clothes were empty on the body, and the first month except for eating and sleeping in the house, there was not much to say.

Half a year after Zhuang Zhuang retired, the fourth uncle once called home, saying mostly homely words, and only said vaguely after the most that it was better for the child to come back alive than anything else. They understand everything. As long as the child can come back, she doesn't ask for anything, what military school, what future doesn't matter.

At dinner in the evening, Chen Anxiu accompanied his father to drink two cups of orangutans, Chen Anxiu didn't wait for him to react, he walked out with someone, turned his head and smiled and said, "Grandma, I'll take my eldest brother to sleep first." There are a lot of people here, but my side is clean. ”

Chen Tianyu threw down his chopsticks and followed, "Brother, I'll help you." ”

Chen Jianming saw that something was wrong, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen's father, "It's all brothers, big brother, what are you worried about." ”

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Anxiu threw Chen Tianqi on the sofa with a shake of his hand, broke his wrists, and said to Chen Tianyu, who came in later, "Look, close the door." ”
