Chapter 19 Repairing the House
This night, Father Lin and Zhao called Erniu's family and Zhou's family to his house, Zhao's "I called you all today, there is such a thing, me and your father, the uncle has been filial piety in recent years, we have been living with him, and it is also excellent to live there." However, when people are old, they want to return to their roots, and your father and I plan not to go back this time, and in a few days, I will invite someone to repair the house, and the money will be shared equally among your families, and the third daughter-in-law will give half of it. After the house was repaired, we lived in our own small yard and did not go back to your uncle's house in the future. ”
Lin Erniu knew something about this, and the Zhao family talked to him a little bit, saying that it was mainly to prevent the Zhou family from leaving in the future, and to take care of the two children, Erniu knew that his mother didn't like his daughter-in-law very much, but after all, there was no reason to prevent his father and mother from coming back to live.
When Huang and Lin He heard this, they also felt a sigh in their hearts, but after all, they were all juniors, so they definitely couldn't stop it, but Xiaobao listened to it and said happily, "Okay, grandparents can accompany me in the future." "The child doesn't understand the pros and cons, and the two old people of the Zhao family really love Xiaobao.
However, when the Zhou family heard these words, their faces suddenly changed, they all thought that the Zhao family would go back to the town after living in the past few days, and now they heard that they were going to live here for a long time, and they were afraid that they would have a hard time in the future.
Of course, the Huang family is also extremely reluctant in their hearts, but even if they are 10,000 reluctant, what can they say, even if the old man wants to live in their house and ask them to support him, it should be, and now the old man is just living in his own house, fortunately, he is not under the same roof with them.
In this era, if you are said to be unfilial, you will not be able to hold your head up in front of others for the rest of your life, and even your children and grandchildren will be talked about behind your back.
The family also decided to come down in this way, and in a few days invite someone to repair the old couple's house, and the house is to repair the roof to prevent water leakage on rainy days, and there is no need to repair it elsewhere.
When the group came out, Lin He saw that Zhou's face was not very good-looking, and he thought it was because his grandmother was coming back to live, but in fact, it was not only this reason, Zhao also leaked a little bit with Zhou a few days ago.
Zhou returned home, Zhao's words were still in his ears that day, "The third daughter-in-law, the third child of our family is unlucky, he went so young, leaving his daughter-in-law and children, this day is also extremely difficult, if you have any plans, I will not stop you, you are still so young, you can't live like this for a lifetime, but Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun are the children of our Lin family, if you have a whereabouts, let the two little ones take care of the two of us." ”
At that time, Zhou also thought that Zhao was just talking, but he didn't expect to say that he wanted to move back, although he said that he was reluctant to his hometown, and the fallen leaves always had to return to the roots, but the main purpose was to be afraid that she would not be able to keep it, leaving the two children at home and no one to take care of them.
Zhou's own heart is also very contradictory, a woman with two children, how difficult the days are during this time, he naturally knows, if it is not for the Huang family from time to time to help her, may not be able to live a long time, but can not live like this for the rest of his life, the child is still young, she has no ability, nothing, only embroidery work can not support their own family, this every year always have to be filial piety to the two elders, Xiaoshan's grandmother also persuaded her to take advantage of her youth, find someone to live again.
The Zhou family and the third child of the Lin family also met through a blind date with the coal man, and they didn't say that they had any deep feelings at the beginning, but they have been married for so many years, and they have two children, so there will always be feelings, but will this relationship be worth keeping a lifetime of widowhood?
Zhou himself heard his mother's persuasion, and he was also tempted, but the children in the family are so young, he can't give up, Xiaozhu is less than three years old, although he is taken care of by his grandmother, but after all, he is not his own mother. Looking at the pair of children sleeping sweetly next to him, he also thought, everything should be done until the children grow up, and then Xiaoshan can take care of his sister.
Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of knocking on the door outside, and heard Lin He shouting "Sanniang, Sanniang" outside, Zhou hurriedly got up and went to the courtyard to open the door, it turned out that Huang brought Lin He over, Zhou welcomed the two in, and the three of them climbed on the kang and sat together, Huang saw Zhou's eyes were red, and he must have cried.
Huang also knows a little about these things, and also persuaded, "Third brother and sister, don't think so much, the old man is also for the good of the two children, after all, you are still so young, and it is indeed difficult to be single with children." ”
Zhou nodded. "I know that my father and mother are for the two little ones, and I don't blame them, but I am still grateful to them. But I don't have any other thoughts now, I always want to pull the two little ones well, and I don't want anything else now."
Lin He finally heard some eyebrows over there, knowing why his grandmother insisted on staying, and also knowing why Zhou's face was extremely ugly when he heard his grandmother's words, in Lin He's previous life, women remarried a lot, and they never had too many worries, even if they had children, it was a big deal to bring the children over.
But the atmosphere of this era is not so open after all, Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun are the descendants of the Lin family, presumably even if Sanniang wants to remarry, even if she is willing to take it away, her grandmother will not let her take it away, but the child is a piece of meat that fell from the mother's body, where is she willing to let it go when it is not a last resort.
When Huang heard Zhou say this, he knew that Zhou had no intention of leaving for the time being, so he didn't bother with this topic anymore, and then took out a purse from the bag and handed it to Zhou, "This is five hundred big money, in a few days, the two old men will repair the house, and now your family should also be short of money, I don't have much, you take it first." ”
Zhou Shi saw it, pushed the silver money over and said, "Second sister-in-law, your family has helped us a lot, I can't ask for your money anymore, I only need to pay half of the old man's repair of the house, I still have it at home, I have embroidered all these years, and you have helped from time to time, these are still available." ”
Lin He picked up the money and stuffed it into Zhou's hand and said, "Sanniang, this is not for you, it is for my younger brother Xiaoshan and sister Xiaoyun, it's going to be winter, you see that it's still cold on your kang, you go buy more cotton, make bed quilt covers, don't freeze." ”
Zhou still refused to take it, and wanted to push it back, but Huang said, "You take it first, and then give it to me when you have enough money after this winter, don't freeze the child for all this money." ”
Zhou saw the two small ones sleeping next to him, so he took these silver coins, and when he really needed money in winter, he would collect it first, and then pay it back when spring next year.
A few people chatted for a while, and Lin He and Huang also got up and left.
After a few days, Lin Erniu planned to invite some people to help the old couple repair the house, Zhao said that he could help the house repair it himself, and there was no need to spend money to hire someone to repair it, so that the roof tiles were re-paved, the gate was repaired, and the broken courtyard wall was repaired.
The furniture at home is also the original everything, the pots and pans in the kitchen are there, there is no need to add at all, and there is no need to use any money, Erniu is all out alone, did not ask Zhou and the eldest brother to give money, busy for most of the day, the house can be moved in, in the evening, Huang sent a bed quilt from home, and the old couple lived in their own yard at night.
