At noon on the second day of junior high school, a young man wearing a military coat and a cotton hat came from outside Peachshu Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering the village, Li Hongjun looked up in the direction of his house, wiped his face with his hand, and pulled off the Binggada on his eyelashes, and it was almost there.

He rushed back from the team on the first day of the new year, took the train overnight, got off the train and transferred to the bus, and finally arrived at the county seat.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qiu Shuping, who was teasing her grandson on the kang, shouted to the little girl: "Xianghe, go open the door and see who is coming?"

"So many people are at home, they are looking for me for whatever work, let me take a day off. Li Xianghe looked unhappy, but still obediently went to open the door.

"The second brother is back. ”

After Li Xianghe opened the door and saw the people standing outside, he screamed, and then shouted loudly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?, who's coming?" Qiu Shuping heard her little girl's cry in the house, and hurriedly shouted outside.

"Mother, it's my second brother who is back. This time, Li Xianghe shouted louder. "Second brother, come into the house quickly, and I'll get it for you. Since she saw her second brother come back, her eyes never left the military satchel that the second brother was carrying.

Li Xianghe shouted this time, not only Qiu Shuping heard it, but the whole Li family heard it. At this moment, the entire Li family seemed to have blown up the temple, and the eldest daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and son who were busy in the kitchen, and the eldest daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and son who were chattering in the house, all ran out of the house.

"Mother, I'm back. Li Hongjun looked at the family members in the courtyard and said with a slight smile.

"You kid, I can be regarded as looking forward to your return, why don't you send a telegram to the ward in advance. Qiu Shuping's eyes were slightly red, looking at her second son, who she hadn't seen for a year, and complained.

"Oh, mother, let's not talk outside, hurry up and let the little uncle come into the house to warm up. The eldest daughter-in-law **** said eagerly while supporting her waist with one hand.

Qiu Shuping then remembered that the family was still blocked at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, okay, let's all go inside. She stepped forward and grabbed her second son and dragged him into the house.

So a large group of people surrounded Li Hongjun into the house.

Li Hongjun saw his father sitting on the kang, his eyes were slightly red, "Dad, I'm back." ”

Li Wang just heard his daughter's words and couldn't sit still and wanted to go outside to take a look, but he held his identity, so he still held his patience and waited for the second child to come into the house to see him.

"Why is there a vacation this year?" Li Wangcai looked at his second son, and the folds on his face became deeper.

"There was something in the regiment, and the regiment commander couldn't go home, so he gave me family leave. Li Hongjun explained.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Li Wangcai also patted his son several times excitedly.

Then the family chatted around Li Hongjun, Li Hongjun is not a talkative person, when he was at home, the relationship with his family was not so good, especially after the sister-in-law married in, the relationship was close to freezing, otherwise it was impossible for him to be a soldier, so he came back to visit relatives several times, except for his father and eldest sister, he was a little impatient to deal with the rest of the people, especially the marginal questions they asked.

Fortunately, after a while, Li Xianglian, the eldest sister of the Li family, shouted to start the meal, and Li Hongjun's face was better.

There are many Li family members, so today's dinner is one table on the kang against the next, and the family all sat down.

The Li family is a big family, the head of the family Li Wang is only 52 years old, the old Red Army, because of the battlefield, he did not go home for several years. When I came back, the family had already made the decision to marry a daughter-in-law, that is, the hostess Qiu Shuping, 55 years old, a housewife who was very good at being a person.

The eldest son Li Hongxing is 28 years old, and the daughter-in-law is the niece of Qiu Shuping's sister-in-law, 26 years old this year, and the two gave birth to two eldest grandsons to Qiu Shuping, a 6-year-old named Li Shiguo's nickname Goudan, and a 4-year-old named Li Shijia's nickname Erdan. Now there is another one in the belly of the ****, and it has been four months.

The eldest girl Li Xianglian is 26 years old, and her son-in-law Liu Jianjun is 28 years old, and they have three children, namely 7-year-old Liu Honglei, 6-year-old Liu Jia, and 3-year-old Liu Hongtao.

Here is Li Hongjun.

He also has an 18-year-old sister Li Xianghe and a 15-year-old brother Li Hongqi behind him.

The meal is divided into two tables, men regardless of size eat on the kang, and women eat on the ground table.

Li Xianghe looked at the few men chatting on the table, gritted her teeth, and finally couldn't hold back, and suddenly asked, "Second brother, did you bring me a scarf when you came back?"

In fact, she had already flipped through the small bag brought back by her second brother just now, but she didn't give up, did the second brother carry the scarf on her body, obviously she wrote a letter to explain.

"No, my place is Shangala, and I don't sell these. Li Hongjun glanced at his sister and bowed his head to eat.

"Then you give me some money, and I'll buy it myself. Li Xianghe said as a matter of course.

"You owe a beating, don't you, what do you buy, how can you have that spare money. Although Qiu Shuping loves the old girl, the money in the second son's pocket is to honor her, and now the old girl wants it, isn't it just to deduct money from her pocket.

"Why not, he can give outsiders five yuan a month, why can't he give it to me, I'm still his own sister." Li Xianghe was not convinced, and then said what she couldn't say.

In an instant, Li Hongjun's sharp eyes swept over, and Li Xianghe pouted unconvinced, but he didn't dare to continue arguing.

Qiu Shuping's face became a little bad, she looked at her second son and the old man, and turned her head to give her old daughter, "What are you talking nonsense." Speaking of this, she was also angry in her heart.

Why does the son spend money to support the woman before he gets married, if he has a lot of money, he doesn't know how to honor her as a mother.

However, she understands the temper of her second son, that is, a stubborn donkey, the relationship between her and her second son was not good at the beginning, she was really afraid that if she objected, the second son gave all his wages to the woman in a fit of anger, and the second son was really capable of doing this.

"I can't say anything, the second brother can do it, why can't I say it. Li Xianghe was unconvinced and muttered quietly.

Li Hongjun looked at his father, but he didn't speak, he told his father about it alone, and asked him not to tell his mother, now that the family knows, it must be what his father said.

Li Wangcai felt that his face was hot, and the second son told him what he was not allowed to say, and he turned around and told the old woman that he was bald, and he couldn't say anything.

"What nonsense, which is an outsider, that's your future second sister-in-law, now your second sister-in-law is alone, it's difficult, why can't your second brother give her some money to live. Li Wang hurriedly shouted with a white face.

"Dad, you dissipate your anger, Xianghe is not sensible, turn around and let her eldest sister talk about her well, let's not be angry during the New Year. "Liu Jianjun is an old man who is a peacemaker. He did this work in the Li family.

"Grandpa, I'm going to eat chicken legs. Li Shiguo also came over to make trouble at this time.

"I want it too, I want it too. Liu Honglei shouted with several little radish heads.

"Good, good, it's all there. Li Wangcai immediately turned cloudy and sunny.

"Mother, hasn't Yun Fang come to the house for the past few days for the Chinese New Year?" asked Li Hongjun as if unintentionally.

"No ......" Before Qiu Shuping finished speaking, she heard Li Xianghe say: "The grain has been moved, what is she still doing." ”

"What do you mean? What grain?"
