Spring goes to autumn, and most of the time has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Sister-in-law, where's the little rice cake? Why didn't I find him in the room? Shen Xiu asked with a worried look on his face.

"You go under the table and look for it." Lin Xiao embroidered the handkerchief in his hand without raising his head.

Shen Xiu really found a small rice cake under the table, and the kid was sleeping soundly with his hands and feet open, and his small chest was rising and falling.

She couldn't help laughing, and with careful movements, she picked the little figure out from under the table.

No wonder my sister-in-law wants to cover the house with blankets, and my little nephew's liveliness is really necessary.

Weighing the weight in his arms, Shen Xiu couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister-in-law, what did you eat for the little rice cake?" I haven't held him for a month, how did it get so heavy? ”

- In order to prepare for the high school entrance examination, she hasn't been back for a month, and she can see her little nephew when her sister-in-law brings her food on weekdays.

In half a year, Shen Xiu has also undergone a lot of changes, because Lin Xiaoliang always makes some nutritious and delicious food, coupled with the continuous use of handmade soap, she now finally has the demeanor that a flower girl should have, with snow skin and black hair, as well as the shirt and long skirt that Lin Xiaoliang wore for her, her original delicate appearance has become extraordinarily beautiful.

Although she has changed a lot, Shen Xiu feels that the biggest change is her sister-in-law.

After more than a year of spiritual spring water washing the marrow and cutting the tendons, Lin Xiaoliang's skin has become more delicate and moist, and the skin is so smooth and white that even the pores cannot be seen, and the original delicate appearance is more and more attractive. The originally somewhat dry hair is like a pouring black waterfall under the improvement of handmade soap, and the most luxurious black satin in the world cannot be compared.

If the change in appearance is moisturizing things silently, and you can't find it at all if you don't pay special attention, then the change in temperament is earth-shaking.

Her long hair is loosely braided and hung down at one side, and she always wears a simple shirt and long skirt, and you can't take your eyes off it when you smile slightly.

As if something has been precipitated, or like polished jade, it exudes a restrained and graceful beauty.

Shen Xiu thought that if his brother came back, he would definitely look straight at such a sister-in-law.

But......

My brother has not heard from him for more than half a year, even a few years after he went to the battlefield, and he will come back as much as possible during the New Year, but he did not come back for the New Year last year, and he did not even have a letter to confess.

There were already rumors in the community and Yuanjiazhuang that her brother had sacrificed, and at first she heard that she would go up to fight with others, and slowly felt bored.

Just sister-in-law...... It seems to have been very calm all the time.

She didn't know what it was like in her heart, and she seemed to be relieved and a little dissatisfied.

"It's heavy, last time Ah Gong put some fat meat in his mouth, but he was addicted to it. My grandfather didn't listen to me either, and always gave him meat behind my back. Lin Xiaoliang was also very helpless, his son was less than nine months old, if she hadn't fed her all kinds of good things to improve his physique, Ah Gong would have given him meat like this, I was afraid that he would have vomited and leaked a long time ago.

"It's okay, it's good to eat." Shen Xiu didn't care, they didn't have to eat when they were young.

Maybe it's because Shen Chi has no news, except for Lin Xiaoqing, the other three people in the family are so pained by the little rice cakes.

Shen Xiu sat down beside Lin Xiaoliang, put her little nephew on her lap, turned her head to look at the handkerchief she was embroidering in her hand and said, "This is embroidered for the little rice cake?" "The lively snow-white kitten on there is not for anyone else.

My sister-in-law's embroidery work is not ordinarily good, although the people here can embroider more or less two stitches, but she has never seen such an extraordinary embroidery as her sister-in-law.

Maybe that's the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

Sometimes she really doesn't understand her sister-in-law, and would rather open a cram school to earn money for her family, but she is not willing to sell her embroidery.

Once upon a time, a lady from a provincial town offered 200 yuan to buy her handkerchief, but she refused. Last month, someone came to the door to pay 2,000 yuan to buy their small embroidered screen of red plums in the snow, and my sister-in-law also refused without hesitation.

At first, she and her grandfather and grandmother still felt pain, and similar things happened so many times, so they simply couldn't see it.

"Well, he likes this kitten the most." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, his son has already begun to have his own aesthetics.

Shen Xiu flipped through the sewing basket and found a half-made bright pink shirt inside, and her eyes lit up, "This is made for me?" She knew that her sister-in-law didn't like to wear bright colors, and her grandfather and grandmother were not suitable for such bright colors.

The clothes she wears now are all made by her sister-in-law, obviously the same style as others, but she is even more brilliant when she wears it.

Lin Xiaoliang nodded, "It's just one sleeve missing, I'll embroider something on the hem." After this is done, I will match you with a white skirt and wear it when you go to secondary school. ”

At this time, the style of clothes was very simple, and there were only a few things to do, so she could only put thought into cutting and embroidery.

She actually wants to make a cheongsam for herself, but wearing a cheongsam in this era is too ostentatious, and even the improved conservative style will be pointed at.

Shen Xiu was happy to hear this, but said a little nervously: "I don't know if I can be admitted or not." ”

She doesn't plan to take the high school entrance examination, she plans to go directly to the medical secondary school, so that she can come out to work early. The family also persuaded her, but she felt that she might not be able to be admitted to college even if she went to high school, and she couldn't keep bothering her sister-in-law to make up for her.

"You just have to play at a normal level and you don't have a problem." Because he has been helping Shen Xiu and Jiang Xiaomei make up for their classes, Lin Xiaoliang is very clear about the level of the two of them.

It's just that Jiang Xiaomei wants to be admitted to college this year, and she is a little hanging, and she is not even sure about a junior college.

"Ah, the little rice cake is awake!" Shen Xiu exclaimed, Lin Xiaoliang looked over, and sure enough, the little rice cake was smiling at her with big grape-like eyes, and happily reached out to hug her.

Lin Xiaoling's eyes softened, he reached out and hugged him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "Is the little baby awake?" ”

The little rice cake was even more excited, and crawled on her with her hands and feet, and after succeeding, she showed a toothless smile, and kissed Lin Xiaoliang's chin.

Lin Xiao kissed his chin obediently, and he kissed him again, and so on, the mother and son had a very happy time.

Shen Xiu, who was excluded, was silently injured, and her sister-in-law always said that they spoiled the little rice cake too much, and she didn't know that the one who loved the little rice cake the most was her, the mother.

"By the way, Xiu'er, did you send the chilblain cream to the third aunt?" Lin Xiaoliang suddenly thought of it, turned his head and asked.

If she wants to say that she has gained anything in the past half a year, it is that she has maintained a good relationship with the relatives and friends of the Shen family, except for her father-in-law's family.

Lin Xiaoliang is a very smart person, although few people can have a deep friendship with her due to personality, but it is not a problem to maintain this kind of friendly relationship that is not far away.

"Sent." Shen Xiu said with a smile: "The third aunt also called me to thank you, saying that those chilblain creams helped a lot." ”

The third aunt, Shen Minshu, works in the freezer of a food factory, and although she can enter and exit in cotton clothes, the frostbite on her hands is very severe after a long time.

For Lin Xiaoliang, making chilblain cream is just a matter of effort, but he can get the gratitude of the other party, so why not?

Shen Xiu felt that her sister-in-law was very magical, handmade soap, chilblain cream, tailoring, embroidery, weaving, cooking...... How can anyone be so versatile?

"That's good." Lin Xiaoliang smiled slightly, lowered his head and replaced his son's already wet saliva pocket with a new one.

"Sister-in-law, grandma said that the little rice cake is starting to grow teeth?" Lin Xiaoliang asked while teasing her little nephew.

"It's still early, but the roots of the teeth are a little white." Lin Xiaoliang touched his son's diaper, and suddenly found that his son was missing a pair of shoes on his feet, and frowned: "What about another shoe?" ”

Shen Xiu looked at it, no, the little nephew only had his left foot and was wearing a blue and white baby shoe woven with wool, and she couldn't help but praise it out of place, the things made by her sister-in-law are so delicate and beautiful.

Lin Xiaoliang had already found it, her gaze must have fallen to the corner of the table, "There." "It is estimated that it was worn off when my son was climbing.

Shen Xiu picked it up and put it on his little nephew, poked his face and said, "Little rice cake, you are too naughty, don't climb under the table in the future, what should I do if I hit it?" It's just that the tone is very soft, and there is no sternness at all.

Rice cake is a lively child, he is always curious about unfamiliar things, and he crawls over the front and back yards of the house.

Lin Xiaoliang would rather follow him secretly to protect him than restrict his activities, not because he was spoiled, but because he felt that he should not suppress the nature of a child.

She has always believed that only children whose nature can be developed can achieve the greatest achievement and live the happiest life.

"Babbling ......" At this time, the little rice cake that stayed in Lin Xiaoliang's arms seemed to be dissatisfied with her mother's neglect, and slammed into her arms with a flutter.

Lin Xiao's chest ached, and he reached out to scratch his son's itch a little helplessly, and giggled heartlessly when he saw him.

"Bad boy!"

Little Rice Cake didn't know what her mother was talking about, but when she saw her mother smiling at her, she happily reached out and touched her face. Lin Xiaoliang also let him, even if his face was pinched and deformed, he didn't care.

Shen Xiu looked at it strangely from the side, she felt that her sister-in-law was a little special to her little nephew, and she didn't have the strictness of her mother to her son at all, as if she had endless patience. She never forced Xiao Rice Cake to do anything, even if he couldn't express his thoughts yet, she tried her best to communicate with him.

She thinks that Xiao Rice Cake likes her sister-in-law the most, in addition to the factor of mother and child's nature, it is not without reason.

She and her grandparents also love the little rice cake very much, but sometimes when he does something angry, he still can't help but get angry, and he will involuntarily bring a little anger when he talks to him.

But my sister-in-law has never been like this.

Shen Xiu sighed, took out an apple from the cabinet, cut it in half and began to dig apple puree for his little nephew to eat. Xiao Rice Cake does not force his mother to feed him, he prefers his mother to play with him.

- They didn't have this apple before, and it only began to appear in the first half of this year, and my sister-in-law weighed two catties back when she saw it for the first time, but she and her grandparents were not very reluctant to eat it at first, and wanted to leave it for the little rice cake. Later, I saw my sister-in-law buy it twice in three days, and if they didn't eat it, it would be wasted, so they started to eat, and now it has become a habit.
