Returning from the county seat, Han Jin stopped at the commune supply and marketing cooperative, and moved a bamboo basket of frozen pears, two catties of orange-flavored fruit candy, and a few frozen ribbon fish and mackerel from Song Guiqing.

The brigade supply and marketing cooperatives will also buy frozen pears during the Chinese New Year, eight cents a catty, which is the same as the price and quality of the commune supply and marketing cooperatives, but Han Jin did not buy them in the brigade supply and marketing cooperatives.

As long as each family in Tunzi has a little spare money in their hands, they will definitely buy a few frozen pears and a few pieces of candy for the children who have been looking forward to it for a year, but most of them really just buy a few, basically two or three catties, and they are reluctant to buy more. After all, the New Year is good, and the normal days are difficult, and there is only a little money from the production team in hand, and the expenses of the whole family for a year are all on it.

So Han Jin moved a whole bag at one time, a full thirty catties, which was too eye-catching.

Ke Xiangxiang likes to eat sweet and sour frozen pears, and his grandfather used to move the whole bag to his home during the New Year, and of course he couldn't let her be wronged.

As for orange candy and sea fish, of course the brigade supply and marketing cooperatives don't have it, this is because he sent several pheasants and hares to Song Guiqing a few days ago, and she wanted to give him the benefits in the future.

When he got home, he was just in time for dinner, Han Jin simply organized his things, let Xiangxiang go to the kang to warm up, he went to boil water to cook frozen dumplings, and let the dog stay and eat together.

Xiaoshan had already gone to burn the stove, and he washed the rag and wiped the house, and the dog was left standing there watching Han Jin and Xiaoshan cook and do housework so easily, and he was stunned for a while before he asked them puzzledly, "Why do you still do women's work?" ”

This kid really doesn't understand, in his house, or in the vast majority of people in Quantunzi, men will never do housework, that is, those men who are notoriously afraid of their daughters-in-law, such as Sister Fangya's pillar brother, also help to hold a firewood at most, occasionally he is too busy to get up in the morning to fold a quilt and sweep a kang, his mother will scold the old man for a long time when she sees it, saying that he is not a gentleman!

The dog is even worse at home, although his father never works in the field, but he has to let his mother bring the washing water to the kang. His mother and sister were so tired when they came back from the production team that if they didn't cook on time, their father and grandmother would also scold.

Gou Yu felt that these jobs were all done by women, but I don't know why, seeing that my uncle and uncle were doing it so easily, I felt a little weak.

Han Jin skillfully washed the pot and boiled the water, glancing lukewarmly at the dog leftovers, "What do you call a woman's work?" Men don't eat? Why do women have to cook and clean up the house after a day of tiredness like men? My own family hurts, and I don't even know that my own sister and mother are distressed, and that is a stupid white-eyed wolf! ”

The dog's face turned red, and he lowered his head and went to hold the wood with Xiaoshan to burn the stove.

The dumplings were cooked quickly, Han Jin cooked them with sauerkraut filling, although there was no meat, but the sauerkraut was sour and appetizing, the dumpling skin was strong and slippery, and there was a lot of oil in it, green onion and ginger five-spice powder soy sauce, the materials were put enough, and the dog was so fragrant that he couldn't wait to bury his face in the plate!

It's not easy for anyone to eat dumplings now, even if it's a vegetarian stuffed dumpling with no meat stars, it's very rare, Gou Yu put down the chopsticks after only eating one plate, Zhou Lanxiang persuaded a few and then stopped persuading, and when everyone finished eating, he brought the remaining full plate to him.

This time, the dog leftovers let go of eating, and after eating, he drank two bowls of hot dumpling soup, and then he had a full burp.

Seeing that the aunt was still sitting on the kang and didn't move, the uncle and Uncle Jin naturally went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the dog leftovers also went to clean up, and also lit warm water for the uncle who washed the dishes.

After everything was cleaned up, Gou Yu took the initiative to put away the garlic left over from eating dumplings, Han Jin and Xiangxiang glanced at each other, and then asked Gou Yu, "After the New Year, the team will start work, would you like to come here for a few months?" You also heard the doctor say that the most important thing for your illness is to be full, and the situation at home is there, and you can be fed no matter what. You go back and discuss it with your mother, and if you can, you will carry the rations after the year. ”

This is what he has discussed with Xiangxiang a long time ago, it is impossible to give Zhou Lanye food, and he can't eat much leftover from the dog, but the child's illness can't be delayed, so he can only let him come over and eat together for a few months.

But it can't be eaten completely for nothing, at least the rations distributed by the team have to be carried over, otherwise Widow Liu may have some kind of moth, and it is possible to bring the whole family up!

As for letting him come over after the New Year, the most important thing is that Han Jin is unwilling to have many outsiders during the New Year. He doesn't care about giving the dog some leftovers, he will definitely not agree to disturb their family for the New Year!

This is the first year he spent with Xiangxiang after his grandfather left, and even Xiaoshan felt a little redundant, let alone bother!

After Han Jin finished speaking, he added seriously: "In our family, the men have to do the work of the house, if you want to eat ready-made, you must learn before you come, you have to have a job in your eyes, sweep the yard, dig out ashes, pick firewood, sweep the floor, wipe the ashes and brush the dishes, these will be your work when your uncle goes to school." ”

Gou Yu happily agreed, "My brother-in-law didn't go to school, and I will do these jobs first, and let my brother-in-law teach me when the time comes!" "He's not a kid who doesn't know what to do, he's suffered too much over the years, and he knows best who is really good to him.

Let the dog go home first, his mother must be worried about it, and tell him to come to the family after the year to help. Xiaoshan saw that her sister was quite energetic, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sister, are we really not going to send dry food to the eldest girl and the second girl?" ”

Some time ago, my sister asked him to send a big steamed bun to the eldest girl and the second girl a day, and occasionally gave some snacks to the children, but since my sister divorced, my sister-in-law didn't let the children see my sister-in-law again, and my sister didn't let him send dry food to the two children.

In the past, my sister-in-law had done more than this, and my sister had never alienated the two children because of her, and she made cotton clothes and cotton shoes for the two children.

Xiaoshan really didn't understand what his sister thought, he didn't want to fight for anything for the two nieces, he told Han Jin in private that he was still his sister and Brother Jin's life, if he didn't think that he would be able to repay him immediately, and they didn't lack their own food and drink, otherwise he would definitely not drag down his sister.

Zhou Lanxiang nodded affirmatively, "Don't give it first, although the child is small, you have to understand who is good to them, or if you don't send it, it will hurt them." ”

She didn't want her nieces to be grateful to her, but at least let them know that this aunt of hers was someone who was genuinely good to them.

Since the sister-in-law said that her divorce was a disgrace to the old Zhou family, she couldn't even find a good in-law for the two nieces in the future, and she didn't know how much she said nonsense, so the eldest girl didn't take the second girl to come to her secretly.

In the past, as long as the sister-in-law couldn't look at them when she went to work, the two children would run to her secretly.

Since the divorce, the two children have not come once, it can be seen that they really listened to what her mother said, they didn't come, and Zhou Lanxiang didn't let Xiaoshan secretly send them food.

Zhou Lanxiang doesn't blame the children, they are so young and don't know anything, of course it's what the adults say. But she couldn't clearly know that her niece had a problem with her, and she was in a hurry to deliver food and clothing.

What is too easy to get is not cherished, and unconditional good does not necessarily lead to good results.

She doesn't ask her children to repay her or thank her in the future, but she has to let them know that those who are good to them must be good to each other, so that this kind of goodness will last.

Moreover, she also seems to let her sister-in-law know that she is not divorced and begging her helplessly, let alone being bullied, she also has a temper and a bottom line.

After hearing this, Xiaoshan also agreed with her sister to do this, "The eldest girl and the second girl are freezing and hungry, and you will know if her mother is right!" "Children, the most intuitive thing is not to eat, when they find that they can't eat enough and don't have good clothes to wear after listening to her mother's words, they will think carefully about who is really good for them!

Xiaoshan ran out to find the little boys to dig out the nest, Han Jin cleaned up the house, and the stove burned red, helping Xiangxiang to carefully pack up the things he bought in the city today, and took everything that could not be put here to the old house, and when it was time to eat, he moved it over, everything was settled, and he refused to go back, and walked around twice before he took out a small roll of things that had been in the inner pocket of his padded jacket and put it on the kang, "Do you like it?" ”

After saying that, he went out with a basket to hold a wooden halberd, and he didn't know that he thought there was a wolf chasing him behind him.

Zhou Lanxiang picked up the small roll of things that still carried Han Jin's scorching body temperature in the dim light of the oil lamp, and unfolded it to see that it was two glass silk hair bands.

One is red and the other is dark green, the color is very positive, and the quality is also very good, much denser than the one sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and it is also one-third wider.

It's beautiful, but where can she use this kind of little girl's tying thing now, what is she buying her this for?

Han Jin stayed outside for a while before coming in, but the basket fell, and he didn't hold the wooden halberd, and came back empty-handed.

Zhou Lanxiang brought him up since he was a child, and he knew that he was embarrassed at a glance, but when the child is older, especially when he is occasionally awkward, he can only coax, but he can no longer tease and play like when he was a child.

Zhou Lanxiang wrapped the hairband around her hand a few times, and soon it was wrapped into two beautiful flowers, and then asked Han Jin to find two sorghum stalks, "Make flowers and put them in daffodil pots, how beautiful you look!" ”

The pot of daffodils they had raised had already bloomed, and with the goose-yellow petals and turquoise leaves, with these two flowers, the room immediately became bright.

Han Jin saw Xiangxiang smiling so well under the light, his eyes were smiling with broken light, the awkwardness just now and the apprehension that he didn't know where it came from ran away in a flash, and quickly ran out to find a sorghum stalk to arrange flowers for Xiangxiang!

He actually knew that it was not appropriate to buy this for Xiangxiang now, it was all things worn by teenage girls, but the hairband that was not given away back then had always been a scar in his heart, and he just wanted to buy her another one, which was more urgent than back then.

It seems that it has been delivered to her, and now the good life can be more steady.
