Chapter 289: Boiling Dumplings in a Teapot (1st Shift)
"Who are you?" Xia Dong was about to push the door and run out to play, when he saw his brother and a man wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, standing at the door of his house.
Xia Qiu took off his gloves and patted Xia Dong's head with his big hand: "It's rude, call Sister Tiantian." ”
"Sister Tiantian, isn't it my sister? But she's not my sister either......" "Broken padded jacket" is called Tiantian? Or a woman?
Xiao Mao winked at Xia Dong's almond eyes.
Xia Dong was curious, so he didn't go out to play, and followed Xia Qiu and Li Tiantian into the house.
No one had the time to answer Xia Dong's question, because the old lady was already sitting on the kang in the house and shouting, "Who is coming?" ”
Su Meili glared at the old lady, she could really pretend, and she knew in her heart who was coming. The old lady is getting better and better at the whole scene.
Xia Qiu looked back at Xiao Mao, and then took the girl named Li Tiantian through the kitchen and into the big house.
The old lady was very enthusiastic: "Ah, Qiu'er is back?" Yo, this is the girl, right? Old man? It's time for home. ”
The old lady muttered in her heart, why is this girl's house so worn, and she, the old lady, has not been so miserable. Alas! Poor to see, it looks like he's so poor.
Old man Xia leaned against the kang wall of the hut, said "um", and slowly moved to the ground.
Xia Qiu glanced at Su's beautiful face: "Mother, where is my father?" ”
"I've gone to your Uncle Wang's house in front of me, and I'll be back in a while. Have you eaten? ”
Xia Qiu's heart fell to the bottom. His mother seems to be okay, at least a little stronger than he thought, and his mother said "you" instead of "you".
What's the matter is his own son. No matter how dissatisfied Xia Qiu is with the eyes of finding a partner, Su Meili, who is a mother, still feels sorry for her eldest son's difficulty in rushing back against the smoke and snow.
But when Su Meili saw Xiao Mao's dress, she felt that she couldn't suppress the fire in her heart. The patches on that garment are really shabby.
"Did you go into the village and meet anyone you know in the village?"
Xia Qiu was puzzled: "No, I will be kidnapped when I enter the village." What's wrong? ”
Xiao Mao blinked his big black eyes......
Xia Qiu showed a faint smile, took a step back, and exposed Li Tiantian to everyone's eyes, and introduced:
"Grandma, mother, this is Li Tiantian. You can just call her a nickname. Call her Xiaomao. ”
Old man Xia leaned on the crutches that Xia Aiguo had made for him, and slowly moved out step by step.
Xia Qiu hurriedly introduced his grandfather again.
Old man Xia looked at the girl in front of him who was tightly covered and nodded.
Xiao Mao hurriedly picked off the cotton hat, scarf, and gloves, and a smiling face was displayed in front of the Xia family. Just flat little short haircuts. How to look at it makes people feel awkward. The main thing is that the appearance and hairstyle do not match.
The old lady had an inquiring look in her eyes. How can she be an orphan girl? A small round face, obviously a blessing!
The old lady looked at the earlobes after looking at her facial features, and the upper edge of the ear was round and higher than the eyebrows. The earlobe is lower than the nose, and the heart is satisfied and the expression is loving. I thought: The girl is so handsome! The forehead is high, the ears are round, and the appearance of a pure and prosperous man.
sighed in her heart, she has to persuade the beauty again, what about the growth of people, the three poor and the three rich have grown old, don't look at the people who are miserable now, who can say for sure in the future?
The key is that the children are satisfied with themselves, and if they can't be mixed up, don't be blind and muddy......
Old man Xia's expression did not change, it was still the same as when he first came out of the house, without any smile. In fact, I am even more disgusted with Li Tiantian's granddaughter-in-law, you said that you are quite a big girl and comb your hair, which is unlucky.
The big girls in the countryside in the seventies basically had long braids, and women who committed crimes or had just been released from prison were short haired, so it was no wonder that Old Man Xia was upset when he looked at Xiao Mao's hair.
Su Meili thought in her heart: What kind of girl is so good, what a man, they are all so unreliable. Her most stable son also tastes like that, and he doesn't like the good-looking of his parents!
But Su Meili had to admit that this Li Tiantian was really more beautiful than the girl from ten miles and eight villages. It's just that the head shape looks awkward.
She had the same thoughts as Old Man Xia, but her heart fluctuated a little, guessing that Li Tiantian probably had no father and no mother, otherwise someone from a good family would have caused such a ......
"Grandma."
The old lady was satisfied, and the baby was in her own picture, so she didn't say so much. The next generation is the next generation, and the next generation is talking about the grandmother's heart of the old lady.
"Lord, grandfather." Will Baba not be heard out of stammering.
Old man Xia disliked Xiao Mao for not working. Proceeding from reality, he thought that the two children were married, and in the future, Qiu'er would have to settle down in the city after graduation, and the burden would be too heavy.
Such a granddaughter-in-law can't help his grandson Xia Qiu financially, but if the patriotic couple agrees, he decided not to mix blindly, after all, Qiu'er has his own father and mother, and he is a lifetime behind.
However, Old Man Xia was not happy after all, and his attitude was naturally cold.
"Big lady......" Xiao Mao was about to cry in her heart, practicing at home, these two words have been practiced more than 100 times, but how did you do it, from the moment she got off the train, she said that it was not good, it was over, and the eldest mother must have a very bad impression of her.
Su Meili was screamed by this, and the top of her head flickered as if she was about to smoke, her face turned red and she was about to say something, and she wanted to ask Xia Qiu, this is what you said A little stammering? It just so happened that Xia Aiguo pushed the door into the house and interrupted her.
Xia Aiguo was patting the snow on his trouser leg when he entered the house, and he saw a short haired but obviously a girl's hair.
Xia Qiu hurriedly pointed out to Xiao Mao and introduced: "This is my father." ”
"Uncle." Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment after calling himself. That's a smooth way to say...... Everyone shouted smoothly...... But it is said that the eldest lady is the most important ...... However, her word "aunt" is the most unfavorable.
Xia Aiguo had a strict face that had been maintained for decades, and smiled very respectfully when he saw Xiao Mao to show his welcome, and went into the house to sit by the kang and instructed Su Meili:
"Go get some food for the two children. It's snowing outside, it's hot on the hour, let them pad it. ”
Su Meili was reminded by Xia Aiguo, and hurriedly put on her shoes and went off the kang, ready to hold some straw and burn it on the fire to cook.
Xiao Mao stood in the middle of the big house, first smiled at the old lady, then stepped forward to approach Su Meili and followed to the kitchen:
"Big Niang, let's be together, I will." I was satisfied, and I finally expressed my heart.
Su Meimei said in her heart, don't think I didn't hear that you are still stammering, although it is a little stronger than when you opened your mouth in the first sentence just now.
I was unhappy, and replied in a high octave: "What aunt, aunt?" Call me ......" Su Meimei's eyes rolled up and recalled: "Call Auntie." ”
Xia Aiguo in the house drank Su Meimei: "What a foreign scene!" ”
Su Meili immediately lowered her momentum, stood in the kitchen and muttered to the door of the house:
"How can it be a foreign view, when our in-laws were in the house, Tiantian was called an aunt."
Xiao Mao was squatting in the kitchen to help cook Su Meimei's fire, the door of the outhouse was opened, and a cool breeze rushed in.
Zhang Qiao walked in in a new red padded jacket with small flowers, and shouted when he entered the door:
"Oh, mom, auntie, I heard that Xia Qiu brought a person back to ask for food?" (To be continued......)
