Chapter 403: Retribution
"No need sister-in-law, the green onion is very well-behaved, I'll just take her, you go and get busy with you, take care of such a milk doll all day, and you can't work." Xie Xiaonian said apologetically.
"No, the green onion is very well-behaved, except for being hungry, peeing and the like, it will hum twice, and at other times it is either sleeping, or lying there to play by itself, it is not troublesome at all, it is much better than when the pancake was a child." Li Suxin said with a smile.
You must know that when the pancake was a child, as soon as Xie Xiaonian left, the roof that could howl immediately would be overturned for you.
"The girl is indeed better behaved than the boy." Xie Xiaonian remembered that when she was a pancake child, every time she went out, she could hear his loud voice when she came back, so she said with a smile.
"I've already fed the green onions, and the diapers have just been changed, so you can sleep for a while, you definitely haven't had a good rest in the past two days." After speaking, Li Suxin was about to leave.
"Well, sister-in-law, then I won't send you."
The kang at home had already been heated by her mother-in-law, so after Xie Xiaonian sent her sister-in-law away, she directly lay on the kang with green onions to rest.
"Xiao Nian, wake up, I'll warm the rice in the pot for you, wash your hands, and hurry up to eat."
After Xie Xiaonian woke up, as soon as she went out, Mother Xu, who was staying in the kitchen, said to her.
"Mother, when did you come, why didn't you call me, it's so cold outside, what if it's freezing."
When Xie Xiaonian was sleeping, she bolted the door of the hall from the inside, and her mother-in-law didn't know how long she had been in the kitchen!
"I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't call you, and I've been staying in the kitchen, it's not cold, you can eat quickly, I just warmed up the meal for you."
It's almost seven o'clock now, and it's dark, thinking that Xiao Nian must be hungry, so Xu's mother hurriedly urges.
"Well, I'll eat it now, thank you, mother, have you eaten." Looking at such a good mother-in-law, Xie Xiaonian said gratefully.
"It's all a family, thank you! We've already eaten, but you still haven't eaten, I'll go back to your sister-in-law's house first, and then come back when the house is cleaned up. ”
Xie Xiaonian really couldn't eat, and after taking two bites, he was a little sick to his stomach, so he threw the rice into the space, and the provincial mother Xu would be worried when she saw it.
As soon as she finished doing this, she peeled an orange for herself to eat, and Mother Xu came over with her sister-in-law with peach blossoms.
"Mother, sister-in-law, you are here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, sit on the peach blossoms, and my aunt will bring you candy to eat." Xie Xiaonian hurriedly greeted.
"What kind of candy to take, she is a teenager, Xiao Nian, you don't have to worry about her." Li Suxin hurriedly stopped.
"No matter how big it is, it's a child in front of my eyes." After speaking, Xie Xiaonian went back to the house directly and grabbed a handful of candy for Peach Blossom.
In the other hand, he brought a few oranges on a small plate and gave them to Xu's mother and sister-in-law.
"Thank you, auntie." Peach Blossom took the candy and said happily.
She knew that as long as she came to her aunt's house, there would definitely be delicious food.
"Xiao Nian, are you and the loyal army okay in the army?" Mother Xu asked.
"It's all good, mother, you and your father's bodies are all right?"
"We're all fine, you can't leave this New Year, if you can, you will spend the New Year at home this year, you didn't spend the New Year at home last year, and your father and I feel a lot less." Mother Xu asked again.
"I'm not leaving, this year the loyal army has a holiday, we will spend the New Year at home, and when the 25 loyal soldiers will be able to take the pancakes and they will come back by train." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.
"That's good, that's good, I'll buy more New Year's goods and come back tomorrow, let's have a good New Year." Mother Xu said happily.
"Before I came back, I asked the loyal army to send some New Year's goods to my family, and it may arrive in a few days."
"Everything over there is expensive, and you and the loyal army are spending money indiscriminately." Mother Xu said happily and reproachfully.
"It didn't cost much, mainly because there were some things that we couldn't buy here. By the way, mother, if you go to the market one day, I'll go with you, I haven't been to the commune with my mother for a long time? Xie Xiaonian changed the topic and said.
"Okay, we'll meet the day after tomorrow, and we'll go together when the time comes."
"By the way, why didn't Wei Guo and the Wei family come over, didn't they have a holiday?" Xie Xiaonian asked casually.
"Well, no, their middle school holiday is relatively late, and it takes 15 to have a holiday." Li Suxin replied.
"Well, I said, why didn't the two of them come? Next year, Weiguo should graduate from junior high school. ”
"Yes, he will graduate from junior high school next year, and his grades will definitely not be able to get into high school, and I am worried about what he should do after graduation? You can't come back and earn a job with us, then your studies are not in vain. Li Suxin said with some worry.
"What's wrong with earning work at home, how good it is for the family to be together in harmony, you just have a high spirit, and you always think that Weiguo can have a formal job like an orchid."
Mother Xu didn't want to put too much pressure on her eldest grandson, so she helped, but in fact, she also hoped that Wei Guo could find a job in the city
"It's not that farming is not good, it's just that I can't earn a few dollars a year with my face facing the loess all day long, and I don't want my child to farm for a lifetime like me and his father."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have discussed this matter many times, but they have not talked about it every time.
"Isn't it until next summer vacation that I won't graduate, maybe when the commune or the county factory has a job to recruit, Wei Guo will be able to become a worker! Even if you can't be a worker, doesn't the brigade also have a primary school, and after graduating from Weiguo Junior High School, how can you become a teacher. Xie Xiaonian came up with an idea.
Some of the primary school teachers on their side have graduated from primary school, and Wei Guo is still qualified to be a teacher.
"Workers are so easy to be workers, people in the cities can't find jobs, let alone those in the countryside. Don't even think about the teachers in the team, the number of teachers there has been occupied, who do you say will come down and give up the position to Wei Guo! Li Suxin said worriedly.
"If you can't be a person, you can't be a person, it's good at home, you have the skill of hunting, and you have a lot of strength to work, and you can definitely live well anywhere." Xie Xiaonian said affirmatively.
"Xiao Nian is right, just talking about hunting, I don't know how many people in the village can't catch up, in a few days the team will go up the mountain to hunt, didn't Zhongming say that he would also bring Weiguo, the trap made by Weiguo is much stronger than many people."
Mother Xu saw that Xie Xiaonian agreed with her point of view, so she said happily.
"It's just you, who are grandmothers and little aunts, who can think so highly of him." Someone praised his son, Li Suxin was still very happy, so he said with a smile.
No matter how much they discuss this kind of thing now, they can't do anything but take it one step at a time and wait for the opportunity.
In the next 2 days, Xie Xiaonian, as usual, didn't go out much, except for going to the market with Xu's mother and sister-in-law, preparing New Year's goods, or going to her sister-in-law's house to sit down.
Because the production team had already discussed that they would go up the mountain to hunt on the 16th day of the lunar month, so early in the morning, the eldest brother took Wei Guo and went up the mountain with the people in the team.
Xie Xiaonian thought that there was nothing to do at home, so he was going to go to Pearl's house, the last time they met, they didn't have time to talk properly, and they didn't know how Pearl was doing recently.
Xie Xiaonian came back in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring anything back on the surface, so after entrusting the green onion to Xu's mother, he carried a pound of pastries bought in the commune the day before and rode a bicycle to Pearl's house.
"Xiao Nian, you're here, come in, come in, I'll just say let Yifan take me to your house to play with you in the past two days." Pearl looked at Xie Xiaonian who came to the house and said happily.
"You have such a big belly, don't run around, if you miss me, let Yifan go and talk to me, I'll come over." This yard of your house is nice and spacious. Xie Xiaonian also said happily.
"There are no people around my house, so the team in this place will circle us casually, and grow vegetables by the way, it's cold outside, let's hurry into the house and sit on the kang to warm up." Pearl took Xie Xiaonian's hand and walked towards the house.
"Xiao Nian, haven't you eaten and rested well recently? I think you're a little thinner than when you first came back. Pearl asked worriedly.
"No, I have good food and accommodation at home. It's only been two days since we saw each other, and you can see that I'm thinner than before, you're sharp-eyed! Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
In fact, Pearl is not wrong, she is indeed a little thinner than when she came back, mainly because her morning sickness is too serious, what she eats and vomits, except for space fruits, she really can't eat anything.
But fortunately, it's only been a few days, and it's not too obvious, and everyone else has been prevaricated by Xiao Nian like this.
"That's good, you are pregnant now, but you must eat and sleep well, and your nutrition must keep up." Pearl was no exception, believing what Xiao Nian said.
"I know." She had taught her these things, and now she was talking about herself in reverse.
"Are you going back to your mother-in-law's house for the Chinese New Year this year?" Xie Xiaonian then asked.
They are spending the first New Year after getting married this year, and it stands to reason that they should go back to their in-laws' house, but the current situation of Pearl is not easy to travel long distances, and Xie Xiaonian is not sure.
However, she would prefer that Pearl spend the New Year here, so that they can see each other more often.
"If I don't go back, it's not convenient for me to have a big belly, and we are going to wait for two years when the child is one or two years old, and then go home for the New Year."
"Then your mother-in-law doesn't pick on you?" Xiao Nian asked rhetorically.
"What reason does she have to choose, we didn't mean not to go back, and our filial piety money and New Year's goods have been sent back in advance, it doesn't matter if we go back or not." Pearl said as a matter of course.
"That's fine, and it saves you from going back and forth."
"By the way, Xiao Nian, do you know? The nephews of the third grandmother have been punished! Pearl suddenly whispered mysteriously to Xiao Nian.
