Chapter 53: Xiao Xiang is a reassuring girl
Zhou Lanxiang's heart has been sore and painful since she went home, the adult's fault made the children suffer, and the whole family of their Zhou family was sorry for these two children.
She started to make shoes for the two children overnight, and the next day Sister Fangya came over, and listened to her say about the two children, and she also felt uncomfortable, and grabbed the soles in her hands and helped to put them up.
Zhou Lanxiang hurriedly sent the two children over, the eldest girl was reluctant to step on the ground when she put it on, and the second girl looked left and right to reveal a row of small teeth, tilted her head and asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, this heel foot!" It's so soft! No frozen feet at all! ”
Zhou Lanxiang touched the child's sparse yellow hair, and her heart was sour: "In the future, my sister-in-law will make shoes, and I won't let you two freeze your feet." "Neither of the two children grew up wearing a pair of shoes that fitted their feet. Children grow up fast, and the sister-in-law begs someone to make shoes, and every time she deliberately enlarges one or even two sizes, or it is not easy to ask someone to do it, and it will be small after only one season.
The eldest girl timidly asked her sister-in-law: "Can I wear and go to the threshing floor with Hongmei?" I'm definitely not going to bury it! ”
Zhou Lanxiang nodded to the big girl encouragingly: "Go ahead!" The big girl can go wherever she wants, and the sister-in-law will go back and make you a pair to wear, don't be reluctant to wear it. My sister-in-law will go back and make a cotton slap for the two of you, and ask your uncle to take you two to Dongxiaohe to play ice skate. ”
The second girl screamed and jumped with joy, but the eldest girl suddenly became afraid: "No, no uncle!" Mother knew that it was time to beat the two of us...... "She didn't dare to take out the candy given by my sister-in-law yesterday, my mother saw my sister-in-law sewing shoes and clothes for them, and scolded them for most of the night......
Zhou Lanxiang smiled and comforted the eldest girl: "It's okay, if your mother asks about the shoes, you will tell the truth, if your mother doesn't let you two play with your uncle, let's not go first, and wait for the sister-in-law to tell your mother before going." ”
Put on new shoes for the two children, Zhou Lanxiang took out a few eggs and a small bowl of white noodles she brought, and made two large bowls of egg gnocchi soup for the two children.
Walking on the road, she finally felt less guilty and sore, this is her own niece, she is naturally close to her aunt, and if she is kind to them, she will hold her leg and not let them go.
Take your time, the sister-in-law just doesn't like her again, she has always been good to the two children, and she has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, and the sister-in-law will not stop her.
Zhou Lanxiang thought about making a warm face slap for the two children while walking, in winter, children like to run wildly outside, and the little hands of the eldest girl and the second girl have chilblains.
In the evening, I have to tell Xiaoshan to let him have time to find some frozen Dongqing leaves, which is the best thing to boil water to cure chilblains. The little girl's hand is not good after being frozen and left a scar.
Zhou Lanxiang looked at her hands, although the palms of her hands were thick calluses, and the backs of her fingers were rough, but her fingers were slender and delicate, and her flesh and bones were symmetrical, which was raised by Grandpa Han before she was seventeen years old.
It's a pity that Grandpa Han bent on raising her to be a beautiful girl, and in the end she couldn't find the good son-in-law who would hurt people as his old man expected.
Zhou Lanxiang glanced at Grandpa Han's old house, took a deep breath and walked home quickly, in the future, she will hurt herself, and a good son-in-law who hurts people is not expected!
As soon as she walked out a short distance, the old captain came out of the team headquarters on the opposite side of the village road and saw Zhou Lanxiang stop her: "Xiaoxiang, I'm looking for you!" The old captain watched her grow up, whether she was married or not, he always called her Xiaoxiang like the elders in the tunzi.
The old captain wore the big padded jacket with a dogskin hat, and his beard was half white, and he coughed heavily several times before he could speak: "The commune sent back the money you lost, and I will take you to the accountant to collect it." ”
After speaking, he looked at her puffed up face, sighed and instructed her: "You will also have a little heart in the future, the money and food at home will be tightened by yourself, and the money will be held in your hands when you take it back!" If Wang Lao Er makes a mistake, you will come to me! Look at him all these years! Their old Wang family is no one can cure them! ”
There was such a shameful thing in the team, and the old captain was reprimanded several times by the brigade and the commune, and he was holding back a fire in his heart! Besides, he has always seen that their family treats his daughter-in-law so unpleasantly, in the past, Xiaoxiang was virtuous and filial and endured not to say anything, and he couldn't stand up for her, but now she is out of her own, of course he has to help her!
Zhou Lanxiang followed the old captain to the team headquarters, and said in a low voice but very firmly: "Uncle Maizi, I don't know how to thank you for helping me so much." Don't worry, I will fight for myself in the future, and I will definitely live a good life! Don't talk to the wind, cough when the wind blows, and put on a scarf when you go out in the future, Dr. Sun didn't give you a mask, you quickly put it on. ”
The old captain is an old slow branch, and he coughs badly in winter.
The old captain smiled and nodded, and really didn't speak. When Lao Han was alive, he always said that Xiaoxiang was a good child, and he didn't like to talk about her over the years, and he had to forget how careful and considerate this child was.
The old captain took Zhou Lanxiang to receive the money returned by the commune, and Han Liqun, the accountant of the team, saw that Zhou Lanxiang was leaving, and suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Mai, what do you think about Xiaoxiang just now?" ”
Han Liqun is the cousin of Han Jin's second uncle's family, and he said that he was the same generation as Han Jin, but in fact, he was almost fifty years old this year, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was Zhou Lanxiang's elder, so he followed his grandfather to call Xiaoxiang together. And this little girl took care of her grandfather for all those years, dressed in clothes three times a day, and served her more thoughtfully than anyone else, and their grandchildren have a gratitude to this child.
Especially knowing the sins she has suffered over the years, and seeing with her own eyes that she was bullied by the Wang family a few days ago, she is still willing to think about her if there is any good thing.
The old captain laughed when he heard it: "It's not! Xiaoxiang is clean and neat, and the cooking is delicious, she is so suitable! ”
Now there are educated youth points in each tunzi, and there are four new ones in their tunzi this year, adding up to seven educated youths, these educated youths are all city dolls, and they are not used to living in the new place.
The old captain and Liu Datou, the captain of the seventh team in Tundongtou, went to the educated youth point together to see a good opportunity, they are in this poor place with this condition, and nothing else can be improved, it seems that the only thing that can be solved is to find someone to cook for a few months.
These children are all junior and senior high school graduates in the city, the oldest is less than twenty, none of them can cook, the bud rice porridge in the pot is cooked with a thick layer, and the pasted cake is pasted like a black pot bottom on one side, and the other side is not cooked!
is already thin and homesick, and if you can't eat enough, it's not a disease.
As soon as the two captains discussed, they first found someone to cook for them, and then let them start their own fire when these city dolls were used to the days of the countryside in the spring of next year and the weather was warmer.
The more the old captain looks at Zhou Lanxiang, the more suitable it is, this child has been delicious when he has been cooking since he was a child, and he used to drink wine from Lao Han, and the meals served by this child are the same, and everything tastes good! And she loves to be clean, look at the house she cleaned up, it is really refreshing, that is, the firewood pile is stacked to a chopping wood without messing up, the pots and pans are polished shiny at any time, and even the pickle stalls can shine a shadow!
The most important thing is that this child has a good character, and if she goes, she will definitely not be able to do anything bad about stealing chickens and dogs, and she will definitely save his worries!
