The noodles were cooked a little too much, Shen Chi helped solve half of it, and the two brushed their teeth again, and then lay down on the bed again.

"In the future, let's attend less of this kind of banquet." Shen Chi suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he changed his words so quickly.

"It's too tiring, let's see how I feel about it in the future." Shen Chi played with her hair again and again, and said in a gentle voice.

Lin Xiaoliang felt a little strange, but his words were exactly what she wanted, so she didn't think about it. Of course, it's also because I can't think about it.

Because Shen Chi had already come over at this time, he skillfully untied her clothes with both hands, and eagerly asked her for pleasure.

Lin Xiaoliang rolled his eyes, but reached out to hug his neck, and stretched his body in front of him.

After Lu Rong disappeared from Lin Xiaoliang's life for a while, it didn't take long to hear the news of her engagement, and the other party was the son of a deputy county-level official. Lin Xiaoliang has not seen what kind of person it is, but it is said that the marriage was decided by the parents of both parties.

As soon as she heard this, she didn't care about it, and devoted herself to her studies.

Half a year passed quickly, and as the New Year approached, Lin Xiaoliang's family still planned to go back to their hometown for the New Year.

"Can't really stay? Just this once! Stay and celebrate the New Year with us, right? Over there, Han Shouzhen was persuading Shen Chi, while Lin Xiaoliang was packing his luggage beside him.

Shen Chi was unmoved, and Han Shouzhen said a little anxiously: "The first year you came back, why can't you stay?" I've got everything ready, and if you don't like the old man, we'll go to my brother!" ”

"Sister, except for the Chinese New Year, the holiday time at other times is simply not enough for us to go back to our hometown. Once a year, the grandparents and grandparents at home are waiting, and we can't let the elderly down. Lin Xiaoliang helped explain: "Besides, we will come back before the Lantern Festival, and having a meal together at that time can be regarded as the New Year." ”

"You ......" Han Shouzhen said a little angrily: "Okay, you all perfunctory me." What I have said for half a day has been in vain. ”

"Mom." Xu Ji tugged at the corner of her clothes and persuaded softly: "Uncle and aunt can only go back once a year, so don't force them." ”

Han Shouzhen couldn't say cruel words to her son, and suddenly snorted and sat down.

"Ping'an, come here, my aunt made you sesame paste. Come and eat. Lin Xiaoliang greeted Xu Ji.

Xu Jiyan's eyes bent when he heard this, and he stepped forward to pass the sesame paste in Lin Xiaoyan's hand.

Seeing him eat up a whole bowl of sesame paste, Lin Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief, she was also worried that something would happen to them after they went back because they didn't take the moistening pill in time, and now she saw him eat the sesame paste that melted the moistening pill. I finally put my mind at ease.

Ten days before the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiaoyan's family of three set off early to get on the train, and when they arrived in the provincial capital, it was already four days later.

Because of the phone call, when Lin Xiaoliang and they got off the train, Shen Zhangming, Luo Yufang and Shen Xiu were already waiting there.

"Grandma! Tai Ah Gong! Aunt! The little rice cake shook her calf and ran over, hugged Luo Yufang's leg and said coquettishly: "Grandma, do you want to be a little rice cake?" ”

"Think, why don't you want to? Grandma's good baby has grown taller and walks steadily. It's become a big child. Luo Yufang's eyes were red, and she choked up a little.

Shen Zhangming stood aside and didn't speak, but his eyes looked at his grandson for a while and his great-grandson for a while. It's too busy.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take the luggage for you." Shen Xiu stepped forward and snatched the duffel bag in Lin Xiaoyan's hand.

The family didn't say anything more, and hurried home.

"Chi Wa, Wanwan, you haven't seen your new home in the provincial capital yet. Grandma has cleaned up for you, the quilts and sheets are freshly dried, Wanwan likes to be clean. Grandma has got you covered. On the way, Luo Yufang said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Grandma." Lin Xiao smiled obediently.

"Sister-in-law. We've bought almost all the New Year's goods, tell me if you want to eat anything. I'll make up for it. After working for half a year, Shen Xiu no longer has the original introverted shyness, and the whole person is generous and capable.

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you."

Shen Xiu looked at Shen Chi again, "Brother, Brother Yuan Lin and they all sent things over a year ago, and I am ready to return the gift, you can bring it over when the time comes." "In the past, the family was old, weak, women and children, and Shen Chi was not at home all the year round, and several of his brothers would send things over, but now because they moved to the provincial capital, although they didn't send things on weekdays, they deliberately sent some New Year's goods to the end of the year.

"Got it, I'll send it." Shen Chi was carrying a huge duffel bag in each hand, but he didn't look struggling at all. In the past six months, thanks to the auxiliary exercise of medicinal baths, he not only regained his previous state, but also improved a lot. Speaking of strength alone, it is not the same as before.

The house that the Shen family bought in the provincial capital is the same small courtyard as in the county seat, but the yard is smaller, the house is larger, and the decoration and furniture inside are new.

When they got home, Luo Yufang hurriedly poured tea for them, and Shen Xiu took out a bag from the room and beckoned Xiao Nian Cake and said, "Xiao Nian Cake, come and take a look, this is the new clothes that my aunt bought for you." ”

The little rice cake ran over happily, and Lin Xiaoliang also looked at it, and immediately frowned: "Xiu'er wants a lot of money, right?" "These are certainly not bought from outside clothing stores or street stalls.

"It's okay, I have money in my hands, and I don't have anything to spend on the salary paid by the hospital." Shen Xiu said with a smile.

What she didn't say was that she didn't plan to buy such good clothes for her nephew, but she went to the stalls and clothing stores outside to take a look, and felt that those clothes were far worse than those made by her sister-in-law, and she wanted to buy new clothes for her nephew to wear for the New Year. Later, I went to the department store, although I still felt that the style was a little dissatisfied, but the quality was passable, she chose a simple style of cotton jacket and cotton pants, the color is beautiful blue. I didn't buy the shoes, but the cotton shoes she learned to make with her grandmother.

Although I felt a little sorry for the two months' salary, I thought that my brother and sister-in-law were so good to her, and the little nephew only came back once a year, and my mood calmed down.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyan's family went to sleep, and the bed was really freshly dried as Grandma said, and they slept until dawn, hiding in the quilt and almost couldn't get out.

After staying at home for two days, Lin Xiaoliang originally wanted to go to see the eldest aunt and them, but when he called and asked, he learned that everyone had gone to the provincial hospital, and there was no one in the two houses. Brother Xiao'an's sister Liqin has just given birth, and the people of the two families are there.

She didn't hesitate, so she packed up and went to the provincial hospital.

From the nurse's desk, she smelled the ward where Liqin's sister lived, and Lin Xiaoliang went to the third floor with the fruit she bought.

"Little sister, when are you coming back!?" Walking to the ward, Lin Xiaoliang was just about to knock on the door, the door opened, and Lin Xiaoan, who looked sad, looked up and was surprised to see her.

"I just came back, I was going to see the eldest uncle, but I called Fengyuan Village, and the villagers said that you were in the hospital, so I rushed over." Lin Xiaoliang replied.

She looked at Brother Xiao'an's not very good face and said with some concern: "Is Sister Liqin's situation bad?" ”

Lin Xiaoan was about to answer, but someone in the ward asked, "Xiao'an, who is here?" ”

Lin Xiaoliang listened, who is this not her second uncle?

"Second uncle, I'm here!" She hurriedly raised her voice.

"Wanwan?" With the sound of footsteps, Zhou Fengqin appeared at the door and said with a surprised face: "When did you come back?" Why don't you have a phone? Come in, come in, don't stand at the door. ”

As she spoke, she pulled her and walked into the ward.

"It's been two days since I came back." Entering the ward, Lin Xiaoliang first saw Chen Liqin lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and then saw the two rooms of the Lin family that occupied the small ward.

"Second uncle, Sister Xiaohua, Sister Liqin, Sister Hanfang, Sister Jiaojiao." After calling someone, Lin Xiaoliang looked at Lin Jiaojiao with some surprise and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, why are you also free to come?" ”

Lin Jiaojiao is the worst married among several cousins, not only did her in-laws die early, but her husband also has two young siblings to raise.

"Your brother-in-law came to the city to buy goods, and I also followed his tricycle to see Sister-in-law Liqin." Lin Jiaojiao is the most plain-looking among the sisters, she is just delicate, but she is very comfortable when she laughs.

Lin Xiaoliang nodded, she knew that the little brother had stuffed money into several sisters after making money, and Sister Yuanyuan's family had a fish pond, and now in addition to some disputes between her in-laws and concubines, life is smooth; Sister Tingting took the money to learn clothing proofing, and now she has found a high-paying job and is living a good life; Sister Jiaojiao is the smartest, she took the money to open a grocery store in the village, and it is said that she also opened a wholesale store in the town last year, which is the best among the sisters; Sister Hao is the most timid of the sisters, and she took the money to build a house in the countryside, and she went to work in the tea factory that Brother Xiaoxi had just contracted.

She looked at the girl in her early teens next to Jiaojiao's sister, "This is Lihua, right?" ”

"It's called Auntie." Lin Jiaojiao said to her daughter.

"Auntie." Hao Lihua's temperament is a bit like her mother, quiet and steady, and she looks good when she laughs.

Lin Xiaoliang took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket and gave it to her, "Take it and eat it." ”

Lin Jiaojiao looked at her daughter, Hao Lihua smiled at Lin Xiaoliang, and took the big handful of candy with some joy.

After greetings, Lin Xiaoliang subconsciously began to look for the child, but he didn't find it after looking around, thinking of everyone's expressions in the ward, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart and asked, "What about the child, why don't you see the child?" She thought to herself, but don't let anything happen.

Everyone's faces darkened when they heard this, and Chen Liqin covered her mouth and cried.

"What the hell is going on? The child must not be alive, right? No one gave him an answer, and Lin Xiaoliang was a little anxious.

She suddenly thought that the provincial capital is not close to the countryside, just giving birth to a child, and it is not a big problem, why not go to the county seat and run so far? (To be continued)
