45 Military Wives in the Eighties (44)
It is rare to see such a refreshing customer in the department store, the key is to buy more, and the varieties are the latest.
After the salesperson bills and pays the fee, the electrical appliances will be sent to the door and installed, and Lin Xiaoxiao can easily go home. Opposite the department store is Xinhua Bookstore, Lin Xiaoxiao walked in and picked out a few favorite books before going home.
The kitchen is already full of pots and pans that Lin Xiaoxiao bought, and there is no shortage of various spices, so there is no need to eat in the canteen from now on. This time, instead of using honeycomb coal, she started to burn the gas stove, which was clean and convenient.
Lu Xuan came home from school at noon, Lin Xiaoxiao had already prepared the meal, and Lu Zheng also came back to eat. A family of three eats pots, the weather is cold, Lin Xiaoxiao made a dry pot of tea tree mushrooms, plus a bowl of fish and mixed stewed lotus root balls, and the fresh cabbage did not go to the pot, if you want to eat it, you can throw a few leaves and cook it in the pot.
The table is steaming, and the vegetables in the pot are more fragrant and appetizing. The family of three ate the food cleanly, and in the end, the cabbage was not enough. Lu Zheng sighed with satisfaction after eating: "After so many years outside, it is still the best food at home." ”
"Didn't you eat what I cooked all these years? The food I cook is not the food at home. Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately raised the bar.
Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Of course the food you cook is the food at home, I mean that the food in your hometown is good, one side of the water and soil raises the other side, and after I come back, the taste of my food is not the same as before." The same dish and the same approach always have a little bit of hometown taste. ”
"You are picky in the egg, you should be allowed to eat in the cafeteria every day, depending on how picky you are." Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao was joking, she didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat, how could she let Lu Zheng go.
"No, never, I don't want to eat in the cafeteria." Before Lin Xiaoxiao joined the army, Lu Zheng had eaten the cafeteria for many years, and he really didn't want to eat canteen meals again. Canteens all over the world are the same, no matter how good the ingredients are in their hands, they will make it a taste.
"Mom, I don't want to eat in the cafeteria." Lu Xuan is really picky about eating, and the food in the canteen is indeed not liked by her. Lin Xiaoxiao is not as particular as the father and daughter, and the steamed pork ribs made in the canteen of the military division are very tasteful, and she has to buy and eat this dish every time.
Lu Xuan is not only picky about eating, but also picky about eating fruits, she not only has to taste good but also looks good, and she has to pick beautiful fruits to buy when she buys fruits. This child is a Yan Kong, and he used to play well with the twins, also because they were beautiful.
"You don't eat in the cafeteria, what if I go to work? Where do you eat at noon? Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Lu Xuan was accustomed to her mother staying at home and taking care of her wholeheartedly, and when she heard the news, she looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao and asked suspiciously, "Mom, do you want to go to work?" ”
Lu Zheng also wanted to understand Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts: "Do you want to work?" ”
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "I don't want to go to work, but I want to work." ”
Lu Zheng looked at her in confusion, not understanding what this sentence meant. Lu Xuan didn't understand it even more when she was on the side, but this didn't affect the father and daughter who were curiously waiting for Lin Xiaoxiao's answer.
"I don't want to go to a factory or work unit to do that kind of work on time, I want to do things, I want to control my working hours."
Lu Zheng held his chin: "Your requirements are a bit high, where is the work that you want to control your own time, I don't think you should go to work, stay at home!" ”
There is a reason why Lu Zheng said this, Lin Xiaoxiao is a military family, and the local government has always had a tradition of arranging jobs in order to support the work of the army and support the army. Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't arranged a job because she just came, but someone has already reminded Lu Zheng.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied when she heard this: "Why can't I go out to work, can I stay at home every day and serve you two fathers and daughters?" ”
Lu Zheng changed his words from the good: "No, of course you can go to work." Then I'll help you apply, and the military sub-district will arrange jobs for your families, what can you do? ”
"No, I don't want to go to work in the factory, I want to start a small business on my own." Lin Xiaoxiao's goal is to live a delicate life with money and leisure, instead of working in the factory every day, being responsible for housework all day long, and even rushing home to make the lunch at noon.
"What kind of business, do you still have money at home?" The family's money has always been in charge of Lin Xiaoxiao, and Lu Zheng really doesn't know how much money the family has.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about it, it's a small business." Lin Xiaoxiao has already thought about doing a fruit business, and there is space for this big weapon, which is the best business.
Lu Zheng really didn't worry about it after hearing it, which was also his trust in Lin Xiaoxiao.
In the afternoon, the department store was going to deliver electrical appliances to the door, and Lin Xiaoxiao waited at home. She thought that she hadn't contacted her family since she came back, so she secretly called home. The phone at home is one of the work benefits, and Lu Zheng's work requires a phone at home to facilitate the handling of emergencies.
Lin Xiaoxiao called the village committee and called twice in a row before anyone answered. As soon as she said that she was looking for Father Lin, the person who answered the phone knew who she was, and hurriedly helped her run errands and call people.
Father Lin trotted over when he was still young: "Smile." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the panting voice on the phone: "Dad, don't worry. I'm calling to tell you that I'm home for the weekend. ”
"Okay, if you have anything to say, don't waste your phone bill." After Father Lin finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, he didn't need money to answer the phone here, but he asked for money when he called, and he couldn't say anything in two days.
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the microphone in her hand dumbfounded, she didn't expect Father Lin to hang up the phone so neatly, she didn't finish her words. She thought about it and could only shake her head, today is Wednesday, just wait for two days, and she won't call anymore.
The people on the side flattered: "Old village chief, your eldest daughter wants to come back, will your son-in-law come back?" ”
Father Lin has taken a back seat in the village in the past two years: "Come back, their family will come back." ”
"Yo, old village chief, it's still your fate, your sons and daughters are filial, look at the daughters married out of our village, who has a smile and filial piety." The person who said this seemed to have forgotten that Father Lin also had an eldest son. However, Lin Xiaoxiao's sisters and brothers are indeed filial, Lin Xiaoxiao often sends things to Lin's father and Lin's mother in large packages, and sends money back from time to time. These things had to be sent to the village by the people from the post office, and so many pairs of eyes in the village were watching. The things that the big tiger and the little tiger brothers of the Lin family brought home every time they went home, now they don't even let Father Lin plant the fields, and they don't let Father Lin worry about the affairs of the village anymore, they only let him retire with peace of mind.
Father Lin pretended to be modest: "Where, all the same filial piety, my family is far away from Xiaoxiao, and I don't worry about my wife and me, so I send something back from time to time." ”
"Old village chief, don't say it, hurry up and inform your aunt, Xiaoxiao is coming back. You must not entertain your son-in-law well. ”
"Zhang Mazi, if you are in a hurry, the old village chief will use you to help him arrange it."
"Nie turtle, you take care of me, I am kindly reminding the old village chief."
Father Lin ignored the jokes of the idlers in the village, and he walked slowly towards the house with his hands behind his back.
