014 Life in the in-law's house begins
The new book is weak, and it is necessary to love and protect it, and to collect it and ask for recommendation votes! Thank you very much!!
When she came back from Zhang Xiaoqiang's mother's house, Shen Cuihua saw that her son and his little family stepped into the house one after the other, but their hands were empty, and she opened her mouth and said: "Look at who your mother's family is, you don't even know how to give a courtesy, especially when your grandmother is so old, she should know how to return the gift (the mother's family wants to give a little gift to the mother-in-law's family)!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang was also very angry, because before she came back, Zhou Congxiang had no intention of returning the gift at all, so let Shen Cuihua scold!
Li Dabiao spoke: "Forget it, I've been busy for a few days, let the two babies clean up and rest early!" ”
Li Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to their room together. Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "You must apply for our marriage certificate when you go back this time, and you will get the certificate first!" "The marriage was in a hurry, Li Aobai is the company commander, although he can get married, he has to go through the formal procedures.
Li Aobai said: "Okay, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and the family leave will be over soon!" Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt a little reluctant in her heart.
The two of them sat on the edge of the kang like this, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the beads of sweat on Li Aobai's head, and said with concern: "Is it hot?" Take off your coat and I'll get you a basin of water!" ”
After a while, Zhang Xiaoqiang brought the water, and she saw that Li Aobai did not take off his coat, but only unbuttoned the button around his neck. She put a towel in it and soaked it, ready to wipe Li Aobai's face.
Li Aobai dodged, Zhang Xiaoqiang almost fell into his arms, he quickly supported her with both hands, and both of them began to sweat on their heads.
"I'm sorry, I'm so stupid!" Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to look up at Li Aobai's eyes.
"It's okay, I'll wash it myself" Just now, Li Aobai's head was a little hot, after all, it was the first time he was so close to a woman. The water was warm, he washed it a few times, and the summer evenings in the countryside were slightly cool, and it was much more comfortable now.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't wash in front of Li Aobai, she came to the backyard with water, because she was menstruating, so she simply wiped her body with hot water.
When she returned to the house, Li Aobai was lying in the kang, still dressed last night, with an army-green vest and shorts. Zhang Xiaoqiang is also a vest, she was afraid of squeezing Li Aobai, so she deliberately moved to the side.
The two people turned their backs to each other, and they could feel each other's body temperature.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was in turmoil, she could only pretend to close her eyes and count the little sheep. Li Aobai turned over and her voice was soft, she felt a pair of big hands on her waist, and Li Aobai's warm body was attached to her back.
"Well, not tonight, it's going to take a few days, I'm sorry!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said apologetically. She knew that Li Aobai was about to return to the team, and she didn't know when the next time they met, which was unfair to Li Aobai.
The big hand on his waist was gone, the warmth on his back was gone, Li Aobai turned around and fell asleep, I don't know if it was a real sleep or a fake sleep.
On the second day of marriage, Zhang Xiaoqiang still got up early in the morning. Cleaning, feeding the chickens, tidying up the yard, completely like a little daughter-in-law. Li Aobai went for a run as usual, and the habits of soldiers are good.
Li Dabiao and Shen Cuihua got up and were a little surprised to see the clean courtyard. Li Dabiao is usually accustomed to his wife's laziness, and from yesterday to today, this family has the appearance of a home.
"Cut, just get married, do you want to behave well, see how many days you can pretend?" Shen Cuihua said in a weird way.
"Shut up, the work you don't usually do, the baby has done it for you, what else are you talking about! Look at your fragrant woman, if you don't teach it well, why do you get married? Also, the boss Xianglan, who is married, hurry up and go back, live here and don't be afraid of other people's jokes! Li Dabiao watched his two women arrive here and didn't leave the room yet, and he couldn't help his anger.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to interfere too much in other people's housework, she asked Li Dabiao: "Dad, what do you want to eat this morning?" I'll do it for us. After several confrontations, she has seen Li Dabiao's status and weight in this family.
"You go and see, there is still something left from the day before yesterday, it can be hot, don't waste it!" Li Dabiao glanced at the door of the two women and said, "Xianglan, don't you get up, help cook together, go back quickly after eating!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't expect anyone to help at all, she walked into the kitchen and saw a few cucumbers and tomatoes on the board, which were quite fresh, as if they had just been picked. At this time, Li Aobai came in with a load of water and said, "I picked it in the field when I was running in the morning, and I will return to the army tomorrow." As he spoke, he poured the water into the tank, then picked up the pole again and said, "I'll go and pick some more, and after I'm gone, you can pick up half a bucket at a time, it's quite heavy!" ”
Leaving a chic back, there are not many words, and it can be regarded as quite warm.
Add a large pot of cold water to the pot, make a fire in the stove, add some firewood sticks, and the flames are whirring. The cucumbers and tomatoes were washed, and there was a lotus white under the board, and now the morning meal was settled.
When the water is boiling, fill the thermos at home one by one, and clean the dirt on the thermos before filling.
The cucumbers are scattered in a large bowl, the tomatoes are cut into small pieces, and the lotus flowers are peeled and torn into large pieces.
After the lotus white water is scooped up and drained, put it into the basin, clean up the pot, and then pour the small pot into the big pot, and the hot water in most of the pot is enough to make a batter.
Pour oil with a black long-handled spoon, heat it in the stove, put pepper particles on it, and a stream of oil fragrance enters the nostrils.
Zhang Xiaoqiang skillfully poured oil on the cucumber and lotus white, making a sizzling sound. Sprinkle with salt and a small amount of sugar, pour vinegar, and drop a few drops of chili oil, and you will have an appetite when you look at it. Tomatoes tossed with sugar, this season is the most suitable to eat.
Pour the mixed batter into a pot of boiling water, add a handful of firewood, stir it vigorously and evenly, and it will be good for a while. The leftover buns and corn cakes from the day before yesterday were placed in the back pot and heated in a cage drawer.
Li Aobai had already filled the two water tanks and buckets. "You tell Mom and Dad that it's time to get ready for dinner." Zhang Xiaoqiang said while scooping rice.
The whole family is already waiting for dinner. Li Aobai helped Zhang Xiaoqiang bring the food to the hall, the color of the three dishes was very bright, Li Xiangxiang shouted that she was starving to death and put a bite in her mouth.
Grandma Li was obviously a little unhappy, she said to Li Dabiao: "You teach you a good woman, it's too unruly!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang first handed a white flour steamed bun to her grandmother, then took a bowl of batter with both hands, and said, "Grandma, you taste it first, and I'll make it for you if you want to eat anything later." ”
"Yo, my baby is good, you are also busy all morning, hurry up and eat." Grandma Li's charitable face made Zhang Xiaoqiang feel warm.
Everyone thought that this morning's local meal was good, especially Li Xianglan's two children, who even drank the tomato soup.
Shen Cuihua still refused to give up, she muttered that there was too much tomato candy or something, and she was looking for bones in the eggs, and was scolded by Li Dabiao before she stopped talking.
After eating, Li Dabiao said: "Xianglan, you hurry up and take your baby back, it's not a matter of living in your mother's house all day long, others laugh at it!" ”
"Dad, are you going to take me away? Don't you feel sorry for your grandson? Li Xianglan said shamelessly.
Li Dabiao knocked the table a few times with a cigarette pouch and pot: "It's not that I said you, if you get married, you will have a good time with your in-laws, live your life, learn some, and leave after eating!" ”
Shen Cuihua wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Dabiao's eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Tomorrow is the day when Li Aobai is going to return to the team, Li Dabiao asked his son: "Have you packed up the things that you left tomorrow?" After a while, let Xiangxiang clean up and ask your daughter-in-law to prepare your luggage for you. ”
Grandma Li took her grandson's hand: "I'm going to leave just after getting married, I'm still waiting to hold my grandson."
Zhang Xiaoqiang lowered her head and blushed.
In this family, Grandma Li has always been very good to Li Aobai, and he loves this grandma very much.
Shen Cuihua still had an indifferent expression, and Li Xianglan was looking around, thinking about what else could be taken back to her home.
Li Xiangxiang reluctantly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, looking slowly.
Looking at his grandmother's gray hair, Li Aobai was a little distressed, he said: "Grandma, after I leave, you can find Xiaoqiang if there is anything, she will take care of you for me, and I will come back next year to visit relatives!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will honor you well!" ”
Grandma Li took the hands of the two people and said, "It's better for my baby, you two take a look and see if there is anything that is not ready for tomorrow's departure." ”? The two men left the house and returned to their new house. Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that Li Aobai would leave tomorrow, and she was extremely reluctant.
When Li Aobai came back, he didn't bring any luggage, just a few books and a few changes of clothes. So there was nothing to pack, simply put it in a green rucksack, and the book was ready to be packed in a crossbody bag for reading on the train.
In previous years, when Li Aobai came back to visit relatives, in addition to running in the morning, he did some farm work for the family, repaired a courtyard wall or something, and left when it was time to return to the team, so he didn't have too much to worry about. There is Li Dabiao in charge of the family, and Grandma Li is strong, so he is also at ease.
During this year's family visit, I dramatically bumped into a Zhang Xiaoqiang taking a bath, and actually got married in order to be responsible. What a turning point in his life this more than one month.
After a short time together, although there is no round house, Li Aobai does not hate it, the woman in front of him is already his own.
The two of them have not spoken much, nor have they understood too much and communicated too much, and they have become husband and wife.
Li Aobai didn't say anything, but his heart has always been like being in a movie. Sitting on the edge of the kang, looking through the books on military affairs.
Zhang Xiaoqiang opened her mouth first: "What time are you leaving tomorrow?" ”
"Wake up in the morning and leave!" Li Aobai raised his eyelids and said.
Yes, Zhang Xiaoqiang only has time to be with Li Aobai for half a day today, and there are some things that must be discussed.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll prepare some dry food for you, and you can eat on the way." Zhang Xiaoqiang said.
Li Aobai said one word: "Okay." ”
"Don't read your book yet, I have something to say to you." Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little anxious.
"Well, you say, I'll listen." Li Aobai closed the book and leaned back against the box on the kang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang sat aside, looked at Li Aobai and said, "Write to me when the application for the marriage certificate is down, and I can write to you if there is anything." In the past few years that Li Aobai has been in the army, he rarely writes letters to his family, because he can't feel warmth in this home, only indifference.
Li Aobai went back this time, and it was imperative to do the work, and he had to report the matter of marriage to his superiors truthfully, and apply according to the procedures before he could get the certificate.
"Can I go with you after you go back this time?" Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that only by following Li Aobai could he leave here and change his fate.
Li Aobai said thoughtfully: "The matter of the promotion can only be done after the approval and review of the superiors, and for the time being, you will not be able to follow the army, and it will take about two years." ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little disappointed, yes, for more than two years, how to face her own family, how to face her mother-in-law's family, is all difficult to serve.
"That's right, do you think it's okay? After you left, I was thinking about starting a small business and having something to do myself. Dad's radio has been saying in the past few days that the policy has been liberalized, allowing some people to get rich, and there are people doing business in southern cities early. Zhang Xiaoqiang said what she thought.
Li Aobai said thoughtfully: "This is a rural area, you better be careful." ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang had to get Li Aobai's support and consent, she continued: "You see that our family has to open our mouths to eat every day, the work of the responsible field has to be done, and the family's expenses have to have a place to come." My younger brother still can't eat enough, Zhang Yang is past the age of going to school, Zhang Chen should also go to school in September, I am responsible for the burden here, and I don't want to drag you down, you are not easy! ”
Li Aobai listened to Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, and felt that it was not unreasonable, but felt that her thin shoulders could be picked up?
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Li Aobai's slightly frowning brows, knowing that she was worried about herself. A flash of joy flashed in her heart, she believed that this man would definitely fall in love with her, and fall in love with her deeply.
Li Aobai turned around and took out a small bag in the box, and took out a hundred yuan from it, ten brand-new big unity. He handed it to Zhang Xiaoqiang and said: "This is what I usually save, you take it, there are many places to use money at home!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the money, she knew that no matter whether she was doing business or staying at home, she needed some money. She still shirked and said: "You take the money, the poor family is rich, and I can talk about it at home." ”
Li Aobai pulled Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands and forced the money into her hands.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was suddenly pulled by these big hands, her face turned red, and Li Aobai's thick hands were warm and powerful.
When Li Aobai held Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands, although these fingers were thin, the palms were very soft, and in just a few seconds, he quickly withdrew his hands, feeling his cheeks slightly hot.
Zhang Xiaoqiang put the money in her pocket and said to Li Aobai: "I'll prepare some fried noodles for you, you can drink it on the way, it's okay to take it, you sit on the kang and rest for a while." With that, he turned around and walked out of the house and into the kitchen.
Cornmeal, sorghum flour, and soybean flour are steamed together in a cage drawer. Pour some oil into the pot, when the oil is hot, put the chopped peanuts and sesame seeds together, stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the steamed flour, sprinkle with salt, and fry until golden brown.
After cooling, wrap it in hemp paper, and you can drink it as long as you boil it with hot water on the road, so as to fill it and nourish your stomach.
Zhang Xiaoqiang specially made some more, left some for Li Aobai's grandmother, and wrapped some for his younger brother.
Because Li Aobai left early the next morning, the dinner was made by Shen Cuihua, and Li Xiangxiang completed it hand in hand.
