"Da Chun, why don't you go to the kitchen and get a few eggs and duck eggs and roast them for your uncle? ”

As soon as Xu Wanning said, the two children really got out of Xu Maoting's arms.

"Uncle, you obediently chat with my mother here, and my sister and I will bake eggs for you. ”

After seeing the two children run away, Xu Maoting's face immediately sank, and he accused Xu Wanning: "How can you connive at them to go up the tree to dig out the bird's nest? How dangerous is this? What if you fall down?"

When Xu Wanning first came in, she was startled when she knew that the two children often went up the tree to dig birds' eggs, for fear that they would step on the dead branches or slip and fall down if they didn't care.

But after observing for a while, she found that the boys in the village basically climbed trees, and Da Chun's hands and feet were particularly sharp, and most importantly, he had a strong sense of crisis and was able to protect himself, so he followed him.

"This is their fun, and it is also a way to explore the world, second brother, you can't ask children who grew up in the countryside to be the same as children in the city, right?"

Xu Wanning said it easily, but Xu Maoting's heart twitched fiercely.

In the past few days, he tried his best not to think about how his little sister had been living in Dajiang Village over the years, thinking that he would be able to comfort himself in this way, after all, judging from his little sister's current state, her spirit was much better than when she was at home.

But just because he doesn't think about it doesn't mean something hasn't happened.

His little sister was supposed to shine in the capital city, or with the help of her family, she had a stable but decent job, just like their brothers.

However, she is alone in this remote and barren Dajiang Village.

That's it, Xiaomei's child, too......

Thinking about it, Xu Maoting's eyes were moist.

Such a change made Xu Wanning a little overwhelmed for a while.

She was not good at comforting people, so she could only hand him the handkerchief: "Second brother, don't cry, I'm doing well, really." ”

Xu was afraid that Xu Maoting would not believe it, so she listed many examples one after another.

"Although the living conditions in Dajiangcun are far inferior to those in Beijing, Lin An respects and loves me, and gives me a lot of allowances every month, no matter what I buy, he will not say a word. And my mother-in-law, I have been married for so many years, she has never bothered me, and she still puts me first in everything. ”

"Isn't the most important thing for a woman to get married and have children? I have met a good lover and a good mother-in-law, and I am much happier than many people. ”

"Even if I am in Beijing and live a life without worrying about food and clothing, if I don't marry the right person, life is still not easy, second brother, what do you think?"

Xu Maoting always felt that Xu Wanning's words were weird, but he didn't refute it.

After all, a woman's choice of her mother-in-law's family is like reincarnating for the second time, and when she meets a mother-in-law who loves to learn from others, what if she grows up pampered? After all, she is already married to a wife, and her mother's family cannot interfere too much.

Seeing that Xu Maoting was persuaded by herself, Xu Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming from later generations, she never thought that getting married and having children was a necessary choice for women, and making money was the king.

But now she is in the seventies, and those ideas of later generations can only be suppressed temporarily, and can only adapt to the current situation.

Otherwise, she is too unconventional and prone to danger.

"You...... Have you ever thought about going back to Beijing?"

"Of course. Xu Wanning said without thinking about it: "Although Dajiang Village is very good, and my lover and mother-in-law are also very good, I still miss Jingshi." But to return to Beijing, you still need the right opportunity. ”

"I just hope that this opportunity will come soon, so that I can meet my parents, my aunt, my brothers, and my sisters-in-law and nephews, whom I have never met. ”

Xu Wanning talked about almost all the people in the family.

She was gambling, betting on whether Xu Maoting would reveal some information to her.

Although she knew that the college entrance examination would resume next year, she was always worried and hesitant before receiving the exact news.

But fortunately, she won the bet.

"You take the time to read more books, and the knowledge that the teachers gave you in the school in the past should be consolidated and consolidated. Maybe your chance to go home will come soon. ”

Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Knowing the second brother, I will take time to read books recently, and I will also teach Da Chun and my sister to know ......"

"Wait!" Xu Maoting interrupted Xu Wanning's words, and he continued to glare at her: "I felt something was wrong just now, why did you name the children like this? ”

Xu Wanning smiled bitterly, this is from the original body, it has been called for so many years, what can she do?

I can only call along with it.

"After the New Year, when the weather is warm, I plan to let Da Chun and my sister go to elementary school, so I will change their names in advance. It's just their milk name. After all, in the countryside, it is easy to feed by a cheap name. ”

Xu Maoting retracted his gaze at this time: "This is about the same." ”

"Uncle, the eggs are baked, come out and eat them!" Da Chun shouted in the courtyard.

Xu Maoting was like a Sichuan opera changing his face, and he who was still frowning at Xu Wanning just now, instantly changed to a beaming smile, "Uncle is here!"

Xu Wanning only felt that there was nothing to love in life.

Did she fall out of favor with her second brother?

Obviously the person who was reluctant to talk to her before was willing to stare at her again and again!

Oh, man!

In the courtyard, Xu Maoting and Da Chun's younger sister squatted side by side, looking at the two eggs and two duck eggs in the fire made of clods, and couldn't help asking, "This is a roasted egg?"

Da Chun scratched his head: "I've only baked bird eggs like this, I don't know if the eggs and duck eggs are delicious." ”

"It's definitely delicious. Xu Maoting was extremely determined.

After all, his nephew and niece baked it, even if it was not delicious, he would insist on eating it.

"Ahh

A cold wind blew, Xu Maoting couldn't help but sneeze, he hurriedly wrapped his clothes tightly, and put his hand close to the fire: "How long will you have to wait?"

He wanted to go inside, it was too cold outside.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, and a heavy military coat was draped over his back.

He looked back and bumped into Lin Mu's smiling face.

"You wear too thin, it's easy to get sick when the wind blows, Anzi is about the same size as you, you wear his clothes first, don't dislike that this is what he wears, at this time, the most important thing is to resist the wind and cold. ”

"Thank you, aunt, I don't dislike it. ”

The military coat still smelled of soaphorn, presumably freshly washed.

"Nacheng, you play with the children first, and A-Ning and I will go to prepare dinner. ”

After Mother Lin left, Xu Maoting opened her arms and hugged Da Chun and her sister in her arms one by one.

"Aren't you two cold?"
