Chapter Twenty-Six: Have You Eaten?
Lin Xiaoman sat on the kang, stitch by stitch by dim light, muttering quietly, wait for the next time to buy a bigger bulb, this is too dim, I am afraid that it will not be much brighter than an oil lamp.
She sews the simplest kind, that is, the leather case is tightened with a cloth, and the wrinkles are not eye-catching, but it looks good.
Mother Lin sat next to her and looked at it, "Our Xiaoman's needlework is much stronger than before." ”
Father Lin is the best among the children, "That's not it, our Xiaoman has been clever since he was a child." ”
Lin Xiaoman finished making one, and measured it on his mother's head, "How about it, Mom, don't you look good wearing it?" ”
"Ouch, this is worn by you young people, and I can't wear it for your mother." This tone is exactly the same as Gao's mother.
It's not disgust, it's reluctance. With the good ones, the children are the ones first.
This is a piece of motherly love for the most simple Chinese woman.
"Why doesn't it look good, Mom, you have long hair, perm some curls, it must be beautiful." She weighed it, and then asked, "Mom, just do this, can you see if you can do this in one day?" ”
Lin Mu glanced at it, "Yes, you don't have much here, this thing is easy to sew, it's just a bit of a problem." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled: "Okay, Mom, you can do what I just did, make ten of these colors in the same line, and I'll think of something else now." ”
"Can this thing be sold?" Mother Lin didn't believe it, but when she thought of the donkey rolling before, she didn't believe it, but she was sold by Xiao Man, so she shut up again.
"Yes, Mom, you can wait for me to earn money and enjoy happiness with me."
Mother Lin smiled: "Okay, I'll wait to enjoy my girl's blessings." ”
As he was talking, Lin Dakui came in, "Why are you happy with your girl?" Mom, you wait, wait for me to marry my daughter-in-law, so that my daughter-in-law can be filial to you. ”
Lin Xiaoman pouted, don't marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother. As for you, if you haven't married yet, you can't wait to put Yuling at ease, and you will have to be a strict wife when you get married in the future.
Mother Lin said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait, and I will also enjoy the blessings of my son and daughter-in-law." After speaking, he asked curiously: "Did you give the scarf to Yuling?" What is her expression? ”
Da Kui smiled and said, "Yes, Yuling is happy." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled and asked, "Then she didn't say anything?" ”
Da Kui explained for her: "It's not a ...... for her to say it at home."
She couldn't help but laugh at him: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, I said that she didn't say thank you or anything?" ”
Only then did Da Kui know that he was teased by her, "I don't care about you." ”
As he said that, his eyes fell on the freshly made blue head flower, "This is what kind of head flower did you make?" He picked it up and measured it on Xiao Man's head, his eyes lit up, "Give me this!" ”
It's going to be given to Fang Yuling again.
Lin Xiaoman rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand with a calm little face and said, "No, give it back to me." ”
He put his hand behind his back and said, "If you don't give it, isn't it made by the rag leader?" It's a good thing. ”
"Isn't it a good thing, do you want it?" She was unhappy, "The first thing you thought of was to give it to Fang Yuling, are you stunned?" This is to be sold, you take it out before you start selling, others do it first, what else do we sell? ”
There is no sense of secrecy at all.
"Look at your little pick. Yuling is so rare that she can grab this with you? Da Kui pursed his lips and threw his hair to her, "Why do you always think of others so badly?" ”
It's not that others think badly, and this is also a trade secret.
Lin Xiaoman was about to teach him a good lesson, but Lin's mother patted her son, "Okay, your sister is also for your good, otherwise why would she make so much money?" ”
Da Kui instantly wilted and didn't squeak, but thinking of Yuling's words, he laughed again, "Mom, Dad, Xiaoman, let me tell you, Yuling said, she waited for me to earn enough money to marry her." ”
"Really?" Mother Lin was also very happy, "That's great." By the way, Xiaoman, shall I borrow some sticky rice noodles again? We have to work hard to earn money for your brother to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Father Lin smiled and said, "Yes, yes." I'll just say that our Dakui is good, this Yuling has a really good eyesight. ”
The corners of Lin Xiaoman's eyes twitched, she bowed her head decisively, and then pondered the next look.
Xiao Man didn't say anything, Mother Lin went out after a few words, and came in again within two minutes, "No, it's too late, I'll borrow it tomorrow." He said Xiao Man again, "When we sell it for more money, we have to pay it back, we can't buy it like this anymore, you know?" ”
Xiao Man answered.
When she went out, Mother Lin whispered to her son: "This mother has learned, and when my mother makes one for you tomorrow, you can take it to Yuling to wear." Don't tell your sister just yet. ”
Da Kui immediately smiled, "It's still my mother who loves me." ”
Mother Lin said angrily: "I'm just you and Xiaoman, who will you hurt if you don't hurt you?" He also said to his son: "Don't be suspicious of Xiao Man, she is also for you." Don't forget to tell Yuling a few words. ”
"Uh-huh" Da Kui agreed, "I know, I will tell Yuling that this is what we want to sell, and ask her not to talk about it." ”
Little girls, what good have you gotten, what are I rare, will compare with each other, he still understands.
……
Gao family.
After eating early in the morning, Gao Jianjun went out, and he had to go to the commune first, send a telegram to the troops at the township post and telecommunications office, and ask the political commissar to help him mail back the formalities for marriage.
Then he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought two cans of food and two bottles of liquor, brought them back to the village, and went directly to the Lin family.
Lin Xiaoman slept a little late last night, and was just picked up by his mother from the bed, "Jianjun came back yesterday, and I can't come to the house today, why don't you get up quickly, let people see such a big girl still in the bed, and they have to laugh at you." ”
Lin Xiaoman, who didn't wake up from a big sleep, was very honest in her stomach, and when she saw the food left for her on the kang table, she got up and sat down next to the kang table without combing her face or washing her face.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, they're all at home." Gao Jianjun came with something.
Father Lin was chopping firewood in the yard, and Mother Lin was picking red beans in the yard, she went out early in the morning and bought a lot of red beans and sticky rice noodles, and the money was the ten yuan that Gao Jianjun gave to Lin Xiaoman.
When Xiao Man gave it to her last night, she was still embarrassed, Xiao Man said to her: "I told people that I would go to the city tomorrow, and I would pay him back after selling it." ”
Mother Lin took it at this time.
Mother Lin immediately grinned happily when she saw his mouth, "Jianjun is back, sit in the house, sit in the house." ”
Father Lin also said happily: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the army seems to have grown." ”
Mother Lin answered: "I also look at the growth and strengthening." ”
Gao Jianjun was a little speechless, he was twenty-seven years old and still long?
But this future father-in-law and mother-in-law really look like what his mother said, they are a pair of honest people.
Entering the house, Lin Xiaoman raised his hand to greet him, "Brother Jianjun is here." He buried his head and went on with her breakfast.
Mother Lin glared at her daughter angrily, why didn't she come to trouble like this? Didn't you see that people were building an army? I don't say let's let it go.
Dakui greeted happily: "Jianjun, have you eaten?" I didn't eat it! ”
