255 General's Wife (9)
This Spring Festival has peanuts to add to the chaos, and the family is more lively than last year. The children who came to ask for melon seeds and peanuts and other snacks were also bolder than last year, and they dared to knock on the door without Yuan Bin bringing them to the door.
Lin Xiaoxiao has known a little more people this year, except for the three children of Sister-in-law Miao's family, the children of other families can also name more or less.
Miao's sister-in-law rarely came back after moving into the army, and she also found a job in a nearby factory, helping in the canteen, and all three children in her family had to be sent to school.
After the children left like a gust of wind, Sister-in-law Miao and several military wives came to the door together. Lin Xiaoxiao put the empty fruit plate with snacks and used it to entertain everyone.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't go to talk to us, what's the point of staying at home alone." Sister-in-law Miao and Lin Xiaoxiao have known each other for a long time, and they speak more directly.
"Sister-in-law, you go to work every day, I'll look for you, and you're not at home." Lin Xiaoxiao stuffed a piece of candy into Sister-in-law Miao, trying to block her sharp mouth.
"I'm not at home, it's not like they." Sister-in-law Miao pointed at the others.
"yes, you just don't have much contact with everyone." The people who interact with Sister-in-law Miao are all people with similar personalities and about the same age.
"It's that I can't live with your sisters-in-law, it's just that this little demon star in my family is still too young, and it's not convenient for me to go out." Lin Xiaoxiao used peanuts as an excuse.
"This kid is so cute, look at this little hand is chubby, and his face is full of meat, he is really well raised." This compliment is sincere, peanuts are indeed well raised by Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Sister-in-law, don't praise him, I am the only one who has raised him carefully, and he is also in good time, if he was born a few years ago and was busy fighting, I want to raise it so well, it is impossible."
"That's right, my second baby has also begun to grow flesh in the past year or so, but the weakness brought by this womb can't be made up for at once." Company Commander Li's daughter-in-law is similar to Lin Xiaoxiao, and she is not as embarrassed as others when she speaks.
Several older family members still can't let go, feeling that their man is younger than Yuan Bin, and his position is not as good as him. These people are older than Lin Xiaoxiao, and it seems inappropriate to call her sister-in-law unwillingly, and it doesn't seem appropriate to call her name directly without shouting.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have so many ideas, in her opinion, the name was called by people, and she was still very enthusiastic to chat with everyone.
Lin Xiaoxiao's house is warm, and she has prepared melon seeds, peanuts and even a lot of fruits in advance, she is generous, and when she sees that the table is empty, she will immediately get up to make up for it. A group of women were reluctant to leave, all of them were outsiders, and there were no relatives to move around in the south, that is, family members walked around each other.
Lin Xiaoxiao has food and drink here, and the atmosphere is good, and they are reluctant to leave. Seeing that noon was coming, they reluctantly proposed to leave, and Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't keep anyone.
They don't dare to be cheeky to stay and eat, and the men in the family will definitely educate them when they find out. Who doesn't know that the head of the regiment is a person who spoils his daughter-in-law, and he has to help his daughter-in-law with all the housework at home, where do they dare to work hard Lin Xiaoxiao and cook to entertain everyone.
After Lin Xiaoxiao sent everyone away, she took the peanuts back to the house and swept the floor. The confetti of fruit peels and the cups that have been drunk in the house should also be cleaned.
"Mom." Peanut had already learned two words, and when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao sweeping the floor, he immediately handed the dustpan to her.
"Peanuts are awesome."
Yuan Bin's Spring Festival holiday after finishing his shift also ended, and normal working hours resumed. On the contrary, the streets began to come alive, and various shops that had closed for the Chinese New Year began to reopen.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiangzi returned to Star City, along with his cousin and a letter from his hometown.
The letter from my hometown was very simple, Qiangzi's salary here was good, and everyone else in the family was tempted, so Chrysanthemum came over as a representative of the second room.
The hometown means to let Chrysanthemum come over to help Lin Xiaoxiao take care of Peanuts, and it would be better if she could find a job. After Qiangzi went back, he said that many factories here still recruit women to work, which was an eye-opener for the people in his hometown, so the eldest chrysanthemum among his younger brothers and sisters could come with Qiangzi.
Yuan Bin looked at his niece silently after reading the letter, the year he left his hometown, the chrysanthemum had not yet been born, so she was just fifteen years old this year.
After reading the letter, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Yuan Bin with a smile, ready to see what he was going to do.
Qiangzi also looked at Yuan Bin a little nervously, he was afraid that the fourth uncle would refuse, but the family was clamoring for him to bring chrysanthemums, and grandma couldn't stop it, so he could only sigh. He can't help it, if he doesn't bring chrysanthemums, the second uncle will make trouble at his house every day, and he can't watch his parents live in peace.
Yuan Bin looked at the chrysanthemum dressed in tatters, this dress was not as good as when Qiangzi first came. It seems that the hometown has not been separated, and there is the salary sent back by him and Qiangzi, why doesn't the niece even have better clothes.
"You go down with your aunt to wash up first." Yuan Bin opened the chrysanthemum, and he wanted to ask Qiangzi a few words.
Peanut refused to leave, he hugged Yuan Bin's thighs and asked him to lift Erlang's legs and play with him. Yuan Bin was playing with him and asked Qiangzi what to say.
Qiangzi is not good at words, and Yuan Bin was asked the truth in a few words without knowing it.
"Alright, you can eat first!" Yuan Bin saw Lin Xiaoxiao take out osmanthus brown sugar dumplings from the kitchen, and also ended the conversation.
"Dad, brother." Peanut suddenly pointed to the bowl in Qiangzi's hand and shouted Yuan Bin.
Yuan Bin looked at Peanut's eager little eyes and teased: "Well, Peanut is so smart, I still remember that it was my brother." ”
"Brother." Peanut pointed to the glutinous rice balls that Qiangzi ate into his mouth, he took Yuan Bin's hand, and wanted to cry anxiously.
"Peanuts, you're too young to eat." Lin Xiaoxiao handed another bowl to the chrysanthemum who had just come out of the room. She only washed her face a little, and if she wanted to take a shower, she had to boil a large pot of water, and she had to wait for the kitchen to be empty.
Peanut immediately aggrieved his little face when he heard this, with a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye, hugging Yuan Bin's thigh and shouting "Dad".
"Peanuts, we can't eat glutinous rice balls, let's go get biscuits to eat, okay." Yuan Bin was educated by Lin Xiaoxiao, and he didn't dare to give peanuts these glutinous rice foods, so he could only coax him with other snacks.
Before the chrysanthemum was eaten, she smelled the fragrance of osmanthus and the sweetness of brown sugar, and she didn't care about burning her mouth, so she wrapped it in her mouth one by one.
When she felt too hot, she couldn't help but vomit. She smiled at Lin Xiao with a swollen face, and found that she was concentrating on eating melon seeds, and did not notice her, and the red on her face gradually dissipated.
"Eat less now, and we'll have to eat later." Lin Xiaoxiao saw that the two of them were not full yet, and reminded them that it was almost time to eat.
"Eating at noon, isn't it a waste of food?" Chrysanthemum couldn't help but marvel.
"Of course you have to eat at noon." Qiangzi glared at Chrysanthemum, and then explained to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Fourth aunt, everyone is a cat in winter, and I only eat two meals in my hometown, and she didn't mean to chrysanthemum." ”
