14 Military Wives of the Eighties (13)

"......" Lu's mother was demolished by Lu Zheng, and she was speechless for a while. The youngest son hasn't been home for a few years, and he finally came back, and it's not good to talk about him for this little thing. Lin Xiaoxiao just didn't hear the "lawsuit" between her mother-in-law and Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng took the gifts he brought back to his parents' house, and Lu Ming's family also sat in the hall. Lu Ming married a girl from the same village, named Zhou Xiaoli, and the two had three children, the eldest being a daughter, and the following two sons.

Lu Zheng saw that everyone in the family was there, so he took the opportunity to distribute the gifts. These gifts were all prepared by Lin Xiaoxiao, and in addition to the local food, she also specially selected a gift for each person. Lu's father and Lu Ming were worried about cigarettes, Lu's mother was a pair of leather shoes, and Zhou Xiaoli got a wool red scarf.

Lu's father and Lu Ming were so happy that they got the cigarettes, and they were reluctant to take it apart and smoke, and they wanted to keep it for the New Year. Mother Lu got the leather shoes and stroked them happily, such good shoes, there are not many old ladies in this village, and she has also been addicted to foreigners. These people in the village, anyone who can put on a new pair of Jiefang brand rubber shoes will be fresh for a few days.

Zhou Xiaoli took the scarf and looked at Lu Mu's leather shoes: "Xiaoxiao, this scarf is good, but it's a pity that I can't use it as a worker, you might as well give me something else." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hear what she said, and handed the candy and biscuits in her hand to the boss of Lu Ming's family: "Lu Mei, you take your sister to play, and you can share these candy cookies with your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Mei just wanted to take the thing but was snatched away by Zhou Xiaoli: "Xiaoxiao, how can you let Lu Mei share." ”

"Lu Mei, you are an older sister, you have to learn to take care of your younger brother, your younger brother is younger than you, you have to give your younger brother food first." Zhou Xiaoli blamed Lin Xiaoxiao while stuffing candy cookies into Lu Damao's and Lu Xiaomao's pockets. It wasn't until the two sons couldn't fit in their pockets that Zhou Xiaoli gave Lu Mei a little, and put the rest away by herself.

"Mom, I still want it, these are all mine, don't give it to my sister." Lu Xiaomao had sugar in his mouth and said vaguely.

When Lu Damao heard his brother speak, he couldn't do it all: "Mom, I want it too, you can't give it all to my brother." ”

"I know, it's all for you and both, don't worry!" When Zhou Xiaoli spoke, she completely forgot about Lu Xuan who was standing on the side.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, the family didn't see Zhou Xiaoli's movements, she subconsciously looked at Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng picked up Lu Xuan, reopened a pack of white rabbit toffee, and fed another one to his daughter's mouth, before continuing to hold the child and talk to Lu's father.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not very satisfied with Lu Zheng's treatment, but she didn't say anything.

Lu's mother glared at her eldest daughter-in-law dissatisfied: "Lu Zheng, when will you have a second child." ”

Lu Zheng responded helplessly: "Mom, I don't plan to have another life." ”

"What! Why? Lu Mu asked with a sharp voice.

"Mom, now I can't have a second child in family planning, and if I want to have a second child, I have to be discharged from the army." Lu Zheng's kind words explained.

Lu's mother has stayed in the countryside all her life, although she knows what family planning she has started to do in the past two years, but she has never seen anyone who has only one child. "Why is the army so strict, who do you see in the village who has only one child? You can't secretly give birth to one? "Lu Mu has some unrelenting suggestions.

"Mom, it's okay to give birth secretly, unless you want me to come back and farm."

"Okay, old woman, you don't understand things outside, don't talk nonsense." Father Lu was also unhappy, but if he was not convinced, he could only admit it. If the youngest son wants to eat this bowl of rice, he has to obey others, how many people want to stay in the army and have no chance, their family is the ancestor of the family, how can they disobey the management, let alone let the younger son lose his cadre status in order to have a child.

"I don't care? If you don't have a son, who will give the second child a pot in the future? ”

"Second brother, you will be kind to your two nephews in the future." Lu's father's unfulfilled meaning is that there is no son who can make his nephew fall into the pot.

Lu's mother also agreed with his wife's opinion: "Yes, second child, you will be kind to Da Mao and Xiao Mao in the future." ”

As soon as Father Lin's words came out, except for a few children in the house, the adults had their own thoughts.

Lu Zheng didn't care about these customs in the countryside, and second, he didn't think about such distant things: "Mom, I'm still very young, and I'll talk about it later." ”

"How can you say it later, you don't treat the two nephews better, who else can you expect to throw a pot for you, maybe you have to rely on Da Mao and Xiao Mao for your old age."

Lin Xiaoxiao listened to her mother-in-law's words, and she was a hundred dissatisfied in her heart, why should she rely on her nephew to support her daughter.

Lu Ming listened to Lu's father's words, it was nothing to let his nephew replace him if he had no son in the countryside, and even if he returned from the army after the second child had good conditions, he could eat public dinner. He has a retired worker, and his two sons really provide for the second brother, and they can only take advantage of it.

Zhou Xiaoli is even more desperate, Lu Zheng has no son, no matter how much her in-laws like her younger son, it is useless, and in the future, all the in-laws' family property will be left to her grandson, and the future of Da Mao and Xiao Mao's uncle can't be ignored. If Lu Zheng dares to ignore it, she won't let her two sons give him a pen, let alone the matter of providing for the elderly.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Lu Zheng didn't want to continue this topic.

"Zhou Xiaoli, you and I go into the kitchen to cook." Mother Lu hesitated, but still didn't call Lin Xiaoxiao into the kitchen to help.

At the dinner table, the family was neatly packed and just packed into one table.

There was meat and fish on the dinner table, and the two grandsons kept shouting to Lu's mother: "Grandma, I want to eat meat." ”

Lu's mother first selected the meat for the two grandsons into the bowl, and the others were accustomed to it. Lu Zheng is not used to his parents being used to children like this, but this is a nephew, and it is difficult for him to speak out with his eldest brother, but the expression on his face is more serious.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Mei, who was honest and silent on the side, and could only silently pity her in her heart for being born in a patriarchal family.

After Lu's mother comforted her two precious grandsons, she remembered to put meat on Lu Xuan.

"Mom, you eat it yourself, Xuanxuan doesn't have to worry about it." Lu Zheng prevented Lu Mu's special treatment. Lu Xuan usually eats at home without special treatment, she eats whatever adults eat, and this is not the time to add complementary foods at the beginning.

Lu Xuan didn't say anything, her grandmother's food was too salty, so she reluctantly ate it in order not to waste food. Lin Xiaoxiao is also not used to eating the food cooked by her mother-in-law, mainly because it is too salty, and she usually puts less salt in her cooking.

"Dad, I can't finish eating, you help me eat!" Usually, the uneaten meals at home are handed over to Lu Zheng to eat.

"Okay."

Lu's mother was uncomfortable again: "Xuanxuan, how can you let your father eat leftovers if you can't finish eating, come to grandma to help you eat." ”

Lu Zheng drove half of the rice in Lu Xuan's bowl into his own bowl: "Mom, it's okay, Xuanxuan's unfinished food is used to eating for me." ”

"Xiaoxiao, how can you let the men in the family eat the leftovers of the children, you have to eat them."

Lin Xiaoxiao listened to her mother-in-law's accusation, and secretly rolled her eyes: "Mom, everything Xuanxuan has eaten is used to feed chickens." The meal just now was also before Xuanxuan moved her chopsticks to let her father help eat it. ”

"Alright, eat, I still have something to say after eating." Father Lu began to get impatient.
