Chapter 113: Late Return
() The mother-in-law of the Mu family has been back in her hometown for a while. She lived a peaceful and peaceful life. Qiē returned to the way she was before she left, as if she had never left. Occasionally, she would also think of the days at her youngest son Mu Nan's house, but she just thought about it. She knew that she would not come back during that time, and her daughter-in-law drove her out, so she definitely didn't think about letting her go back again. If you don't go back, you won't go back, the old lady has never bowed her head to anyone in her life, although the house is broken and the condition is poor, but she is hard. She even began to calculate, when spring begins, she will hold a few chickens, raise a chicken by herself, and lay some eggs. The eggs laid by my own chickens are delicious, and they are a good thing that you can't buy in the city. When she thought about it, she felt that Xinxin and the others actually had nothing to be self-righteous, and living in the city was nothing big at all, and they couldn't even eat real eggs!
So, when the old man told her that his son told them to go back to the city, the old lady was very surprised. It wasn't until my wife told her the cause of the incident that she came back to her senses: I can't be busy co-authoring, so let's fill in the blanks! The old lady smiled on her face: Why, do you Xinxin also have times when you can't turn around and want to bow your head and beg for help? You didn't keep your voice down when you kicked me out. It's only been a few days, it's really feng shui in turn! She pondered for a while and then said to her wife, "Don't worry, the family is not done yet." How can you just go? You hang up the phone to Xiao Nan and say that we have to go back later. ”
The old man was a little puzzled: "Just the two of us, where are we going, isn't it home?" What else do you have to keep busy? ”
The mother-in-law of the Mu family rolled her eyelids and said, "This is the New Year, you don't walk around with your relatives and neighbors?" Besides, who is going out for the New Year? Are you really old and confused? ”
The old man glanced at the old lady, he had lived together for a lifetime, as soon as she said this, he understood what she meant, she was wronged when she came back, and now, she has to make up for it. It's no wonder that she, the daughter-in-law of Mu Nan's family is not good at doing things, and people in the city have to talk about the rules, right? Although in the eyes of others, the mother-in-law of the Mu family is already an old man, but in the eyes of her father-in-law, she is now more like a child, who needs to be taken care of and even spoiled. When people get old, the meaning of the wife is even more important. So, this time my father-in-law decided to follow my mother-in-law.
My father-in-law called Mu Nan. As soon as the phone was connected, my father-in-law asked, "Did you buy a ticket?" He knew that it was difficult to buy a ticket now, and if he didn't get it, the matter would be solved. After all, my husband also felt that this matter was unreasonable. But Mu Nan's voice immediately came over happily: "I bought it, it's still two lower bunks." Tickets for the sixth day of the first month. The days are good, too. "My hometown pays attention to not going out or going in, so Mu Nan deliberately knocked the ticket for the sixth day of the first month that day.
"You...... Retreat. The father-in-law said in a muffled voice.
"What?" Mu Nan thought she had misheard it for a while, and couldn't help but ask.
"Retreat. We'll go back later. There are still some things that are not taken care of. After my father-in-law finished speaking, he also felt a little unimposing.
"What do you have to deal with? More important than looking at grandchildren? Mu Nan was a little angry, he felt that it was really annoying for his parents to go back on their word like this, especially for such a bad reason.
"This is not ......" The old man was a little speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Seeing this, the mother-in-law of the Mu family hurriedly grabbed the microphone and said, "Isn't it your grandmother who is reluctant to let me go." I've only been back for a few days, and she certainly doesn't like me leaving so soon. ”
Mu Nan raised her forehead and said, "Mom, my grandma is not a child, so I'll talk to her." My grandma is very reasonable and won't stop her. ”
"That's not going to work either." The mother-in-law said unhurriedly, "This year, our family is entertaining, and we are not at home." ”
The rules of the hometown, relatives from other villages who come to the New Year and celebrate the festival must come to visit the door. Someone will be in charge of entertaining, eating, and lodging. Over the years, the Mu family has always been a father-in-law and Mu Nan's uncles who have taken turns to sit in the village, and they will be in charge for a year if they catch up. During the year, relatives come and go, eat and live in this family. This year, it's time for the in-laws to take care of it.
Mu Nan didn't think so, he said, "Aren't there still big brothers and second brothers?" Now there are fewer people who come to visit relatives, and occasionally come over for a meal at most, and they don't stay. In the past, didn't the third uncle and the fourth uncle also have a son to help entertain guests? Why can't you? Besides, hospitality is not a matter of one or two days, but a whole year, is it possible that you will wait for this year to come again? ”
"However," the mother-in-law refused to let go, "your eldest brother and second brother are also busy in the first month, and we must treat guests by ourselves after the first month." ”
Mu Nan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw a tantrum at her mother: "What do they have to do in the New Year?" Do you want to go to the field or go out to work? If it really doesn't work, why don't you just leave them with the money for the hospitality? If it doesn't work, I'll pay them for lost work! ”
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her son to be so angry. She said sneeringly: "Xiao Nan, aren't we just going back a few days late?" You're just yelling, right? ”
Mu Nan let out a long breath, restrained her irritable feelings, and said to her mother as patiently as possible: "Mom, you also think about our difficulties. We are no better than big brother them. You have to go to work on the seventh day of junior high school. You can't make us take time off all the time, can you? ”
Mother-in-law doesn't quite understand Mu Nan's so-called difficulties, and now there are more people going out to work in the village, and I haven't heard that there are so many things to pay attention to in the last class. Anyway, since his son said so, he can't be too embarrassed by his mother, and the mother-in-law finally loosened up and said, "Then let's finish fifteen." It really won't be sooner. You'll have to get us ready, and your grandma and your grandma have to settle down. Otherwise, there will be gossip in the village again. ”
Because her mother-in-law has always had a bad relationship with Grandma Mu Nan, there is a lot of gossip about her unfilial piety in the village. In fact, my mother-in-law has been serving my grandmother with all her heart and soul over the years, but the grievances left over the years are still zài, and when my grandmother is unhappy, she will still count her mother-in-law behind her back in front of people. Mu Nan is also clear about this, so even if she can ignore her grandmother's thoughts, her grandmother still has to settle down. Otherwise, it will indeed be more difficult for my mother-in-law to be a person in the village in the future. Although it was very unhappy, Mu Nan couldn't say anything more, so he had to reluctantly respond and silently refund the ticket.
Xinxin didn't know that things had changed, and she was still busy packing up her in-laws' things. When Xinxin's mother came over, the sheets, quilts and daily necessities were all brought by herself, so the in-laws' Xinxin were all put away. Now that they're coming back, they naturally have to pack it up again. She was busy, and when she looked back and saw Mu Nan looking dejected, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Nan glanced at her again and again, and said, "Don't be busy yet." ”
"Why? My parents-in-law will be back soon, and I have to pack up in advance. ”
"They...... I can't come back first. ”
"What?" Shin Shin froze.
