Chapter 10: No Hurry
Xia Mengjia's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, in addition to heating the previous leftovers, also wrapped dumplings with sauerkraut and pork filling.
Xue Mingyue deliberately washed the three penny coins and wrapped them in dumplings.
Xia Meng didn't expect her to eat so casually, and she actually ate two.
Family members say that she must be lucky in the new year and have money to spend.
Xia Meng thought to herself, although she sorted out her money, she found that it was only four yuan and eight cents.
But she plans to sell the things in the space for money, and once this business-free transaction is done, it is impossible to think of it without money.
Now there is no TV and no Spring Festival party, so you don't have to wait until 12 o'clock to pick up God's house, after eating, you can clean up and almost go to sleep.
In the East House.
Xia Menggang didn't feel sleepy when he lay down, so he simply wore autumn clothes and pants and got into his mother's bed to chat.
The two chatted, and Xia Meng felt emotional: "Mom, you are so good to my sister-in-law." ”
Xue Mingyue was afraid that her daughter would be windy, so she stretched out her hand to carefully tuck the corners of the quilt, and then lowered her voice and said, "I am good to her, in fact, it is also for the good of your eldest brother." Back then, your dad had an accident, not because of the person who worked with him, because the daughter-in-law of the family was angry and didn't get distracted, but as a result, your dad had a good heart, and he put his life on the line to save others!
Now your eldest brother is doing the same work as your father, that is also to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers, I think, he is tired all day and comes home with a hot meal to eat, someone really feels sorry for him, the two are not noisy or noisy, do not share his heart, that is not better than anything else. ”
"My mother is so wise, and my sister-in-law's life is fine." Xia Meng knows that in this era, there are many mothers-in-law in charge, and they still pursue the feudal society, and the daughter-in-law who hits the dough is not regarded as a person at all, so it is really precious for a mother to be so good.
She drilled harder into her mother's arms: "I can meet a good mother-in-law like you in the future." ”
Xue Mingyue gently patted her daughter's back and said with a smile: "Let's be small!" Why did you listen to what your aunt said during the day, and you were in a hurry to find a partner? ”
"It's normal to move, I'm nineteen. But I'm not in a hurry, my second brother hasn't looked for it yet. Xia Meng has just come back, and her primary goal is to improve the conditions at home, and as for finding a partner, she wants to talk about it later.
Xia Xiao on the kang didn't sleep either.
He listened to the chatter of the two in silence, and couldn't help but interject: "I'm not in a hurry, a man starts a business first and then starts a family." ”
"Of course you're not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry. Your sister is different, she is a girl's family, and she can't compare with your man. ”
Xue Mingyue turned her head to Xia Meng and immediately switched to a soft-spoken mode: "In the past, you wanted to go to college, but my mother didn't rush to do it, there were many people who wanted to introduce you to someone, but I didn't even get together." But now it's different when I go to work, it's time to get along. I'm sure there are many more people who want to introduce my daughter.
You see, if you talk about someone, you need to talk about it for a little more time, and get to know him well and his family.
Therefore, there is no one who can't get married in a year or two. What if it doesn't work out halfway, don't you have to look at each other again? When the girl's family is good, it's only a few years, it's not in a hurry! ”
Xia Meng obviously felt that her mother was getting more and more energetic the more she talked, and she had already begun to wonder if there was a child who was suitable for her among the people she knew, and she suddenly regretted talking about this topic a little.
"Mom, Mom, I'm a little sleepy!"
"Huh?" Xue Mingyue hurriedly urged: "Then you hurry up and sleep, you haven't stopped since you came back from the hospital today, and your head injury hasn't healed yet." ”
Xia Xiao couldn't hold back, and laughed "poof".
provoked Xue Mingyue to lean over and hammer him twice.
Xia Meng also smiled from ear to ear.
When she lay back in her bed, she looked at the ceiling and thought, in fact, in the next few years, she has also lived for more than 20 years, how could she not have the mind of finding a partner in the future.
It's a pity that she is the soul of the sixties, and many ideas and thinking are deep-rooted.
For example, it's as if someone has implanted a chip in her brain since she was born.
Some things are hard to change.
In addition, although there are many young men in the future, there are many excellent ones, who have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, but there are many people who are motherly boys, gnawed old people, straight men with cancer, and think that they have a throne to inherit in their families.
And because the access to information is so wide and convenient, she has also seen many strange events that have never been heard of before.
For example, the man's domestic violence divides the body, kills his wife and cheats the insurance, cheats the marriage, etc., and then there is a cooling-off period for divorce, and it is not so easy to leave.
Many netizens even shouted that they would not marry or have children to ensure safety.
Locals who have family support are like this, and she is even more afraid of being a loner from outside.
She didn't want to hold her life in the palm of someone else's hand, so she directly dispelled that thought.
But now back to the sixties it's different.
At this time, she was still simple and simple, and she was much hard-working, and she had her mother and brothers by her side, so she also had more confidence and reliance.
Xue Mingyue's snoring sounded first, and Xia Meng gradually fell asleep in a daze.
Xia Xiao didn't sleep.
He pillowed his arms and fixed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking......
The next day, when Xia Meng woke up, she was the only one left in the room.
She listened attentively, there was movement in the kitchen and yard, and quickly rubbed her hands, and dragged the cotton jacket and cotton pants pressed against the end of the quilt and put it on her body.
In the early morning, even if there is a fire, the temperature in the bungalow is not too high.
After that, she tied her hair together with her fingers and began to fold the quilt neatly with her hands and feet.
Xue Mingyue heard the noise in the house, opened the door and came in: "Girl, why don't you sleep for a while?" What are you doing in such a hurry? ”
"Mom, I've slept full. Besides, didn't my aunt and their family have to come today? Xia Meng slept on the kang all night, and he felt quite comfortable, but his throat was a little dry, and his voice was a little hoarse when he first spoke.
"Your aunt and their family are here, and they have to finish their morning meal before they can come over." Xue Mingyue put her cold hand under Xia Meng's mattress that had not yet been folded, raised her head and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?" Is it better? ”
"Much better." Xia Meng noticed her mother's hands that were a little red from the cold, and hurriedly put down the quilt that was being folded and helped her cover her hands: "Mom, you use a cauldron or stove to boil more hot water, don't always scoop the cold water in the vat, can it not be cold after freezing overnight?" ”
Xue Mingyue saw that her daughter was distressed, and the folds in the corners of her eyes deepened when she smiled: "It's okay, Mom's hands are rough and thick, and she is not afraid of cold." ”
Xia Meng's heart was full of sourness and complexity.
Mother has worked hard and selflessly for this family, and she must work hard to make her more happy in the future.
When Xia Meng finished cleaning up the kang, Tong Tong was also hugged by Dai Hongye.
Xia Meng hurriedly took out the New Year's money wrapped in red paper that she had prepared yesterday and gave it to her little niece.
Wearing red leaves in front of me was not embarrassed to open it to see.
When she went to the West House under the pretext of an excuse, she quietly saw that it was a dollar, and her attitude towards Xia Meng's sister-in-law was obviously more enthusiastic after that.
