409 Hard Years (20)
After Lin Xiaoxiao received a message from the comrades of the security section, she took the tram home by herself when she got off work, and she took Liu Bin's bicycle to and from work every day. M. He rides to pick him up when he doesn't go to work, and of course most of the time the couple goes in and out together.
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned home, Niuniu had already gone home first, she sat curiously in the yard and listened to Liu Bin and them chatting, who asked Liu Bin to speak the hometown dialect she didn't understand.
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Brother Liu got to know each other, they pulled Niuniu into the kitchen to help, in fact, they mainly wanted to ask her something.
Niuniu helped Lin Xiaoxiao peel garlic: "Mom, I don't know, you ask my dad, I don't understand what they say." ”
"I don't understand, you're still sitting on the side." Lin Xiaoxiao chattered while chopping vegetables.
"I don't have homework today."
"You can go to the book without homework, and you can skip a grade if you finish early." Lin Xiaoxiao hopes that Niuniu will join the work as soon as possible.
Niuniu clapped her hands and put the peeled garlic into the bowl: "I'll go read a book now." ”
There was no fresh meat at home, so Lin Xiaoxiao cooked a piece of bacon and cut it into a thin transparent slice for stir-frying the white meat. The lettuce grown in the yard is cut into shreds and saladed, and finally a plate of eggs and leeks is scrambled, and the soup is sauerkraut and broad bean vermicelli soup.
Brother Liu ate a bowl full of noodles at noon, but looking at the meat on the table, he felt hungry again. He looked at the food on the table, and then he believed that Liu Bin did not lie to him, and he usually ate well.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, and at the dinner table, she only heard Brother Liu and Liu Bin talking non-stop, and Niuniu looked at Liu Feng. She saw that Liu Feng's teeth were not pleasing to the eye, and saw that his chopsticks only caught meat, and she silently only sandwiched the vegetarian dishes on the table.
Liu Feng didn't realize it, he was the boss at home, and he always ate first, even his grandparents liked him the most, and often gave him pocket money privately, even his parents didn't know.
Brother Liu also likes to eat good food, but his son's eating appearance is too ugly, so he has to remind: "Xiaofeng, you eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
"Big brother, you eat yours, children are like this." Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and said nonsense. Liu Feng is already a teenager, and Niuniu who is younger than him can consciously not eat meat, but he can't look at his eyes, and he can't wait to finish all the meat on the plate.
Liu Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao had a tacit understanding of vegetarian dishes, and the family of three didn't eat a piece of meat, and the eggs didn't taste anything, so they all gave it to Brother Liu and Liu Feng.
Lin Xiaoxiao will buy meat to eat if she has money and tickets in her hand, Niuniu is not greedy when she eats well, she just doesn't understand why Liu Feng is so good at eating, and she eats three bowls of rice in a row.
Lin Xiaoxiao was willing to put oil in cooking, Brother Liu felt that it was better than at home while eating vegetarian dishes, and Liu Feng also nodded again and again.
After eating, Liu Bin stood up and cleaned up the kitchen, and Brother Liu touched his stomach and said, "Second brother, how do you do a woman's work?" ”
In the afternoon, Liu Bin went into the kitchen to cook noodles, and Brother Liu thought that he was the only one at home, and if he didn't cook, he couldn't always take his son hungry, so he endured it and didn't object. Now that there are two women in the family, they still let the men work, which is really unusual.
Brother Liu was more angry and smiled at Lin Xiao, but he knew that Niuniu was not Liu Bin's child. This woman married into the Liu family, she didn't even give birth to a child, and the mother and daughter still had to bully the second child, what is the use of such a woman coming.
"The second child's family, you are still sitting and watching the second child work, and he still has to work when he comes back from a tired day of work?"
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she also went to work, and she didn't want to reason with someone like Brother Liu, so she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Liu Bin and asked him to deal with Brother Liu.
Liu Bin glanced at Brother Liu, who was sitting on the chair: "Big brother, what kind of work is done by women?" There is no such rule in our family, except that I can't have children, I can do all the work that women do. ”
"Second child, you, you ......, your father will definitely scold you when you see you like this." Brother Liu knew that this was not his hometown, and there was no place for him to speak, so he could only bring out his parents to talk about things.
"Big brother, my father and mother didn't see it, if you don't say how they will know, I won't admit it if you say it." Liu Bin's words came from the kitchen.
Niu Niu and Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Brother Liu with big eyes, and the mother and daughter were very satisfied with Liu Bin's answer.
Liu Feng looked at his father stupidly, the second uncle was willing to work, and he didn't call others to do it, and his father had to take care of it, it was really a panic to be full.
Lin Xiaoxiao also felt that Brother Liu was well-fed, he was a guest and should guard the guest's duty, and it was necessary to meddle in the management of the east and the west. She dragged Niuniu to the cherry tree in the yard, the fruit on the tree was almost ripe, and she had to be careful not to let the birds steal it during this time.
The tree was planted the year after she moved in, and over the years it has grown more and more fruit, and she gives some to friends and family every year. Niuniu likes to eat cherries, she looks at this tree very strictly, and she has to check it every morning and evening, for fear that someone will secretly pick the fruit.
In the past, when the tree was small, Liu Bin used a fishing net to cover the tree to prevent birds from stealing food, but now the tree has grown taller, and there is no way to cover the net.
"Big brother, I boiled hot water in the pot, you guys take a bath first." After Liu Bin finished speaking, he took Lin Xiaoxiao out for a walk.
Usually the couple walks, Niuniu most of them don't like to follow, but today she called abnormally: "Mom, Dad, wait for me, I want to go too." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and said, "You're not going to play with Grandma Qiu's little granddaughter today?" ”
"No, I'll play with Yaya tomorrow."
Grandma Qiu is the Aunt Qiu who helped Lin Xiaoxiao see the child, her little granddaughter is a new addition, a few years younger than Niuniu, and she looks cute. The Qiu family is patriarchal and raises girls to be honest and obedient, and Niuniu likes to play with her.
Niuniu likes Yaya, more like a doll, she likes to help Yaya tie her hair, and she also likes to dress up her rag doll with her.
Lin Xiaoxiao can tie a lot of good-looking hair, but Niuniu can only tie a ponytail when she goes to school, so Niuniu likes to tie Yaya. Yaya is only three years old, the Qiu family is reluctant to spend money to send her to kindergarten, her hair is tied beautifully and she is not eye-catching, she honestly never runs out of the alley to play, Lin Xiaoxiao did not stop after knowing it.
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to take Niuniu for a walk together, and Liu Bin confessed to Brother Liu: "Big brother, remember to wash your clothes after you two take a bath, and we'll come back after a few steps." ”
Brother Liu and Liu Feng looked at their backs, and the father and son waited for them to go away before they remembered, neither of them seemed to know how to wash clothes.
Brother Liu has never even washed his underwear by himself in his life, and the same is true for Liu Cun, at home, their clothes are all washed by women, so it's their turn to do it themselves.
"Dad, I don't know how to do laundry, you do." Liu Feng thought about his grandmother's explanation before going out, and asked his father for everything, so he opened his mouth as a matter of course.
Brother Liu can endure hardships and work, but let him wash clothes, he is really a big girl on the sedan chair once, he looked at his son and said: "I won't wash ...... either"
