"It's not, it's still my Xin woman's blessing, I don't know how many people in our village sharpened their heads and wanted to drill into the city, but they didn't get in!" Zhou Congxiang hurriedly took over the conversation and praised her woman as a flower: "My woman is going back to be a worker this time, eating public food, and the old Zhang family finally has a capable person." ”

Zhang Yongxin didn't seem to be so happy, she ate scrambled eggs thoughtfully, and there was no mouthful.

Li Mei said to this sister-in-law: "I said Xinyuzi, you see when you are leaving, do you need me to prepare something for you?" ”

Zhou Congxiang also hurriedly said: "Xin girl, see what my baby needs, I'll get it for you in advance?" ”

When Zhang Yongxin heard this, he raised his head and said, "It's cold, just prepare an extra quilt for me." ”

Ou Chunhua seemed to be a little stammering and said: "There are ready-made ones at home, I will pack them for you when the time comes, and let your brother send them to you." ”

Zhang Yongxin nodded.

The old Zhang family was immersed in joy for this little daughter Zhang Yongxin to have something, and they didn't ask about the origin of this quota at all. Everyone in the village knew that Zhang Yongxin was going to work as a worker.

The daughter-in-law of the village chief Changsheng sat on the kang at home, with a gloomy face, while Changsheng squatted on the side, smoking a white paper cigarette.

"I said that you, who are the village head, didn't say that you would give the quota to my nephew at that time, why did you suddenly change your mind, I charged fifty yuan and a bunch of meat." The village chief's daughter-in-law is wilted on the surface, but she is a thief in her bones.

Changsheng took a puff of his cigarette, slowly spit it out, and said, "Tell your nephew, there will be after the spring." Hold your horses! ”

"You said that you have no relationship with the old Zhang family, why do you need to do such a good thing for her?" The daughter-in-law said word by word, unhurried.

"You don't have to worry about that. I know it. Changsheng didn't want to explain anything, let his daughter-in-law guess, now for him, his son's business is more important than everything.

The eldest daughter-in-law was silent, bowed her head and held the soles of her shoes, but the needle was a little harder, and the needle was broken.

Shen Cuihua also heard this. She hurriedly ran home and said to her man: "The little girl of the old Zhang family is going to work as a worker in the county agricultural machinery factory." This good thing has fallen on her. ”

Li Dabiao listened to this and said: "What do you do with so much, my own women are not disciplined well, there is no one who runs away, and I still worry about other people's affairs." ”

The grandmother overheard the conversation between her son. She came on tiptoe. asked, "Is there any news about our Xiangxiang?" ”

Li Dabiao: "Hey! "Yes. The whole village rumored that Li Xiangxiang and Qian Ermao eloped, and they said it clearly. Some are even talking about the fact that these two people drill cornfields all day long, and Li Xiangxiang's belly is bigger, so that Li Dabiao can't lift his head when he walks in the village.

He went to Qian Ermao's house in the neighboring village, but who knew that the guy had no parents, and the house he lived in was also crumbling. I heard from the neighbors that it disappeared for a while, which was about the same time as Li Xiangxiang's disappearance.

Next door, Ou Lanlan, he also asked. In the end, it was confirmed that he was indeed walking with Qian Ermao. can only resign himself to fate and let God bless this woman's safety. There are not many women, no matter how bad they are, they are also the meat of my father's heart.

Shen Cuihua burst into tears when she thought of her woman, she said, "Baby, her father, what do you say the baby will look like outside, what's the matter?" He has never left us since he was a child, and he has been to the town as far as he goes. As he spoke, he sobbed.

Looking at his mother-in-law's appearance, Li Dabiao was upset for a while, remembering that he usually pampered Li Xiangxiang to have such a result. He roared and said, "Okay, that's enough, I'll know it's sad to run away and die." ”

Shen Cuihua stopped crying suddenly.

Grandma said: "If there is any news of Xiangxiang, tell me, Biaozi, don't blame Cuihua, everyone who is a mother is so fond of her son." ”

Li Dabiao was respectful to his mother, and he said in a soft tone: "Mom, I know." ”

The weather is getting colder day by day, as a father, how can he not feel sorry for his daughter? He went to the backyard to tidy up the firewood, and it was time to prepare for the arrival of winter. Passing by his son Li Aobai's side house, this door is locked.

He has received several remittances from his son, although it is not much, and he also knows that his son now has a home and has to have his own life. The window paper of the house was torn, and the original swallow's nest on the eaves was still there, but a worn-out cobweb.

The big red happy words and mandarin duck window flowers posted when his son got married were no longer colored, and they were broken and swirling in the wind.

Li Dabiao was thinking about whether his son and his family would come back for the New Year, although he didn't have much affection for this son, but watching him grow up step by step, he was very proud of him.

In his heart, he never forgot the little face in the white swaddling clothes, crying with his mouth open. Suddenly, he grew into a handsome young man taller than him, and his appearance in this village was one and two, which made him feel familiar and strange.

He stacked the firewood in the backyard neatly into the firewood shed, as if he was fiddling with a work of art. The stack of high should be enough. The trees in the backyard were almost bare, and the newly erected wires ran through the tree poles.

The times are developing fast, and the era of lighting kerosene lamps has finally ended. As soon as you enter the house, as soon as you pull the rope, the lights come on. The yellow light illuminated the whole house and the yard.

Seeing that Li Jun will also take the college entrance examination next year, and the children will leave their parents one by one when they grow up, Li Dabiao, a seven-foot man, is inexplicably sad in the backyard alone.

lit a cigarette, which was bought by his daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoqiang, he has always been reluctant to smoke, and occasionally has a luxury and comes to one. Usually, this cigarette box is packed in the pocket of the jacket of the blue tunic suit, and the half-cut cigarette box is deliberately exposed, which makes others envious in the village.

Yes, he used to be the object of envy of the people in the village, because his son was an officer, but now, this Li Xiangxiang did such a thing, which made him very depressed for a while.

Forget it, don't think about it, he comforted himself like this. Sweating from his work, he returned to the house and said to his mother-in-law, "You roll noodles for us to eat, I want to eat oily noodles." ”

Shen Cuihua didn't dare to say no words, so she washed her hands and turned around and went to the kitchen. Zhang Xiaoqiang is not here, she can't hide from the food these days, but she misses the scene when this daughter-in-law was at home, people eat and drink well, and she picks her nose and eyes all day long. It's still that year, I don't go into the kitchen, I eat ready-made.

For her, cooking and working is equivalent to her life, but it is all work that must be done, so she will take it slowly! (To be continued.) )
