In the cold winter, the river wind blew on the face like an ice knife and stabbed people uncomfortably, Lin Xiaoxiao wrapped her face with a scarf, only exposing her two eyes. Niuniu and Xiaoxiao were also tightly covered, and Xiaoxiao was even pulled by Liu Bin to stand behind her, and he stood in front of her to block the wind and snow.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked Niuniu to stand behind her, but Niuniu disagreed, saying that she was already an adult, but she stepped forward and took the initiative to stop Lin Xiaoxiao from the snow. Liu Bin gave Niuniu an appreciative look, and when Lin Xiaoxiao was about to pull, the boat came.

It was colder than on shore when we got on board, all the windows of the rudimentary boat were not glazed, and the empty river breeze blew into the cabin from both sides. It's very comfortable to sail with the wind in the summer, but it can make you stupid in the winter. Xiaoxiao was hugged by Liu Bin and wrapped in a military coat, Niuniu was already a big girl, she insisted on not being cold, Lin Xiaoxiao still handed her the furnace in her hand, she was wearing thick cotton clothes, Niuniu loved to be beautiful and wore a little less.

There are many people on the boat, but it also adds some popularity, and the advantage of taking the boat is that the cabin is large enough, and there are people who carry the burden to go out. The most important festival of the year to go out to visit relatives is a necessary activity, the average person also carries a large bag and a small bag, carrying a basket to go to relatives is always a minority, taking two bags of brown sugar to go to relatives is already a good gift.

Lin Xiaoxiao brought a lot of things, except for a few bowls of dishes, the rest were suitable for the elderly to eat. In the past few years, she has not given away other things, and when she did, she was also sent out by Mother Lin, every time she sent food without packaging, most of them could be eaten into the stomach of the second elder.

Mother Lin is also a particular person, no matter how poor she is, she will not take the unsealed things to give gifts to relatives, not to mention that what Lin Xiaoxiao brought home is bulk goods, and it is not bad to eat by herself, and it is always less decent to give away.

In these years, the poor can't open the pot, and many people don't want to be rude in front of their relatives. Mother Lin still has money in her hands, her children are productive and filial, and the things she takes out are easy to be talked about when they are bad.

Lin Xiaoxiao took Fengxue back to her parents' house, and when Lin's mother saw Xiaoxiao's purple lips blown by the wind, she blamed her for not coming back.

"What are you anxious about, it doesn't affect you to come back one day earlier or one day later, your sister-in-law and they are not at home, will your father and I blame you." Mother Lin found an old cotton jacket for Niuniu to change into, and she wore new clothes to bake the fire, afraid that the clothes would burn out a few holes in a few minutes.

Niuniu obediently put on her old padded jacket, but Xiaoxiao was reluctant to change her clothes, she thought the old clothes taken out by Mother Lin were ugly.

"Mom, forget it, this dress is big, it's not comfortable for her to change into, and it's even worse to be frozen." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the old cotton clothes in Lin's mother's hand, and she also understood the reason why Xiaoxiao didn't like it. There are no children at home, and Mother Lin takes her own old cotton jacket, and the one given to Xiaoxiao is an old antique that I don't know what year it is, and I can smell the pungent smell of mothballs.

"Are you embarrassed to say that you are not sensible when the child is not sensible? You shouldn't have let her go out in new clothes. Mother Lin felt sorry for good things, she couldn't get used to Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude of not taking new clothes seriously.

"Mother, Xiaoxiao is getting taller and taller every year, she doesn't wear the padded jacket now, and it will be small to wear it when it gets cold in the second half of the year, and it's the biggest waste if I don't let her wear it."

"How can there be a reason to make new clothes every year, when you do it, you should do it in a big way, so that you can wear it for two more years." Mother Lin felt that Lin Xiaoxiao would not live, and she had to talk about it in front of her granddaughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao used to buy clothes almost every month, or more than one, her concept is different from that of Lin's mother, and she can only listen to her old man's chatter.

"Old woman, you don't have to say a few words!" Father Lin took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

"I won't say anything, you guys hurry up and eat the eggs." Lin Mu fished the boiled tea eggs from the pot as she spoke.

"I don't eat, mother, what about them, big brother?" Lin Xiaoxiao handed the egg to Liu Bin and asked him to eat two more.

"Your eldest brother didn't go back to the village for the New Year this year, he said that the factory would be on duty, and your sister-in-law was still waiting for your niece to return to her parents' house, it didn't matter if they didn't come back, your second brother's family went to Yue's house after breakfast." The old lady doesn't like her grandson-in-law, and she can even take her eldest son's family and not come back.

Lin Xiaoxiao also doesn't like the niece and son-in-law who only have a few faces, every time she sees Liu Bin, her attitude is too flattering, and a good relationship with relatives is embarrassing.

The eldest brother's family couldn't see the problem, and they thought that the son-in-law was a good one, and it was because of respect for the elders that they would have a very low attitude.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't bother to break it, he was really a person who respected his elders, why didn't he see them go back to the village to pay New Year's greetings, forgetting Lin's father and Lin's mother, and he was embarrassed to say that he was filial to his elders. She wanted to see what a small secretary of the Revolutionary Committee could do and what kind of good life she would have in the future.

"Mom, let Liu Bin cook, you sit down and rest." Lin Xiaoxiao sat and didn't move, but he was very good at finding things to do for Liu Bin, and he was not idle since he entered the door.

"He doesn't know where to put my stuff, or if I'll go myself." Mother Lin now cooks three meals a day, if this little fun is deprived, she will definitely get sick when she is idle.

"Mom, you sit, I'll go, I'll ask if I don't know."

Mother Lin couldn't resist her son-in-law's kindness, so she didn't rush into the kitchen. She drove her two granddaughters to listen to the radio, and the mother and daughter could talk quietly.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoxiao took the initiative to clean up the kitchen, she wanted to call Liu Bin to work again, and Father Lin should have an opinion. During the Chinese New Year, she didn't want to be criticized by Father Lin, so she stood up and worked.

She boiled hot water to wash the dishes, and when she was done, she took out the handguard and wiped it on her hands, and she could smell the fragrance of orchids when she got close.

Mother Lin saw her smearing, and said that she was not an eighteen-year-old girl, and she loved to dress up as poorly and exquisitely as a little girl all day long, but fortunately her son-in-law didn't care.

Liu Bin didn't expect the topic to come to him, he hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't dislike it, I support whatever Xiaoxiao wants, and she doesn't do bad things." ”

Mother Lin originally had a lot to say, but she was suddenly blocked in her stomach by Liu Bin's words, and she couldn't tear down her son-in-law's platform and say bad things about her daughter.

"Your life is not bad, Liu Bin is good to you, you have only given birth to one Xiaoxiao over the years, and it is not strange if you have no son, you are a hundred times stronger than the kid of the Wang family, fortunately you divorced him back then, otherwise you would have to live a hard life today."

"Mom, for the New Year, why did you mention those things in the past!" Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't like to mention the past, and always mentioning the unpleasantness of the past is completely uncomfortable for herself.

"Alas! I don't want to mention it, it's not that I suddenly remembered it. The group of people in the Wang family are not doing well now, they can be regarded as retribution, and they deserve it! Mother Lin told Lin Xiaoxiao about the tragic situation of the Wang family.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to hear it, but Lin's mother wanted to talk about the Wang family, and let her know that the Wang family was not doing well. She couldn't stop her, so she could only let Mother Lin continue, and no outsiders listened, so letting the old lady say it could be regarded as a relief!
