Chapter 56: Teaching the Dharma
When Mother Lin came out with a pot of hot water, she saw several people about her age, looking around the room.
"I said Sister-in-law Lin, your family is really developed, look at the good things in this house, I'm afraid many people in the city can't compare, right?"
"Look at what you said, how can people in the city scarce these things in my house? There are so many things here, all of which my family A-Ning picked up from the scrapyard. ”
"Don't fool me, can there be good things at the scrapyard?"
"Why not? This radio was found by my A-Ning at the scrap yard, but it was broken when she picked it up, and her second brother came last time and picked it up, so she could listen to the news. ”
As she spoke, Lin Mu turned on the radio and dialed the button to a fixed position, "A-Ning said, this channel will play some old songs, it's good, you can listen to it too." ”
The radio was slowly flowing with songs from that era, and the catchy tunes made everyone present hum along.
Of course, it doesn't sound good.
"Don't say it, this radio is a good thing. When my son comes back another day, I'll ask him to look for it at the scrapyard and see if he can pick one up. ”
"But come on, your son has the skills of a big leader, can he fix a broken radio? Don't want to take advantage of everything, but spend more money in vain. ”
"That's exactly what you said. ”
Xu Wanning hid in the kitchen, hearing that the chats of these aunts had revolved around the radio, she couldn't help but give Mother Lin a thumbs up in her heart.
"Oh, look at me!" Mother Lin saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and slapped her head suddenly, "I promised me Quanquan to make frozen meat for her to eat, she will be here tomorrow and tomorrow, and I haven't prepared anything yet!"
"This is easy to do, let's give you a hand together, and it will be done in the afternoon." ”
"No, no, no!" Lin Mu waved her hand again and again: "I Quanquan said, I have to eat the frozen meat I made myself, let you help, what if she eats it and doesn't taste right, what should I do if I lose my temper?"
Mother Lin has said everything about this, no matter how thick-skinned these people are, they are embarrassed to stay.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Lin family now has the support of the big leaders of Beijing City, and Lin An is a promising person, so they don't dare to offend the Lin family easily.
"Cheng, then I won't keep you today. ”
Mother Lin left all the sticky bean buns they brought, picked up some from her own cauldron, put four equal on each plate, and sent people out.
After the door closed, Xu Wanning came out of the kitchen.
Seeing Mother Lin's panting appearance, she smiled and said, "I saw that you were at ease, and I thought you were not afraid of dealing with them." ”
"Afraid, how can you not be afraid!" Lin Mu made an exaggerated expression: "You don't know, just this group of mothers-in-law, that mouth is really powerful, dead can be said to be alive, I really don't want to deal with them, maybe I inadvertently fell into someone's way." ”
But Xu Wanning obviously didn't want to deal with this group of people.
What can she do? Her own daughter-in-law, of course, has to be favored by her, who is a mother-in-law.
"By the way, Mom, will Lin Quan really come back tomorrow?"
The smile on Lin Mu's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a full melancholy.
"According to the situation in previous years, I should have come back on this day or two. But I haven't sent me a letter in two months, and I don't know what's going on with her. ”
is different from the situation of the Lin family, the family that Lin Quan married has a large population, and there are six brothers alone.
She is married to the third child, there is a big one and a small one, plus she is an honest person and will not come to trouble, so she is not taken seriously at home.
And because Lin Quan didn't ask for a bride price at the beginning, and she had to marry Dai Wei when she died, the Dai family thought that they had taken care of her, and she had not had a good time in the past few years of marriage.
If you want to go back to your mother's home, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
In the past two years when she first got married, the Dai family even let her completely disassociate herself from the Lin family and not have any contact with her mother's family.
Later, Lin An made great contributions in the team, and his position was promoted, and the Dai family saw that it was profitable, so they treated Lin Quan better, and at least every year on the twenty-fifth or sixth day of the lunar month, they would let her go back to her parents' house for a day or two.
Even though Dajiang Village and Mingguang Village, where Lin Quan married, are only more than two hours apart, Lin's mother can only see her daughter once a year, although she doesn't say it, she always remembers it in her heart.
This time, there has been no letter from Lin Quan for two months, and her heart is always up and down.
"Let's wait first, if Lin Quan doesn't come back on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, I will go with you to Guangming Village to find her. ”
Xu Wanning's words gave Lin Mu a lot of confidence.
"Done. If Lin Quan doesn't come back by then, we'll go find her!"
"But now, you have to make the frozen meat that you promised her, and if she comes back and can't eat it, you'll have to lose her temper with me. ”
Xu Wanning originally wanted to make a move, but was rejected by Mother Lin.
"I'll do it, you can rest for a while. ”
Xu Wanning saw that it was still early, so she simply went to the town again.
Cuifen has been discharged from the hospital, the child has lived in the incubator for a few days, and the indications of the body have been fully met, but Cuifen's milk is not good, the child has not been full, but is thinner than born, the little one sleeps in swaddling clothes, looking strange and distressing.
"Sister-in-law, you're here. ”
Tryffen leaned against the head of the bed and raised a weak smile.
"How are you feeling lately?"
"I'm fine, the wound doesn't hurt anymore, and I can get out of bed and walk around. It's just that I pity my son, I can't eat enough every day, and even the sound of crying is like a mouse's cry. ”
As she spoke, Tryfen began to weep bitterly.
She blamed herself for being useless, and she also felt sorry for the young child.
In this regard, Xu Wanning couldn't help.
There is no milk powder in her space that can be given to children, but goat milk milk does, and it can be replenished infinitely, and she is never afraid of running out of stock.
But the problem is that in these days, cattle and sheep are not allowed to be raised privately, and she has no way to explain the origin of milk and goat's milk.
In addition, Cui Fen and Dongzi live in the town, and she is in Dajiang Village, and it takes nearly two hours to ride a bicycle each way, so she can't come every day to deliver it, right?
"I heard from the elderly people in our village that it is quite good to cook some millet porridge, boil it for a while, and scrape off the oil on it to feed the children. ”
Or boil some batter. ”
Cuifen's little face was wrinkled, and her expression was embarrassed: "I also know this method, but millet is a fine grain, not to mention the grain stamps, even the grain station doesn't have much inventory." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure out a way to do Xiaomi's affairs, you can take care of yourself and your children first." ”
