Lin Xiaoxiao didn't continue to argue with Mother Lin, Mother Lin was already this age, in her words, she was the one who stepped into the coffin with one foot, of course she had to follow her own wishes. m.

Lin Xiaoxiao can only persuade, and if she doesn't listen, she can only see what she can't see, after all, if the old lady wants her to change her mind at this age, this is indeed impossible.

Lin Xiaoxiao went home this time to make a new dress for Mother Lin and Mother Lin, and explained that she wanted to wear it, and she didn't need to put it at the bottom of the box, and she was not allowed to transfer it to others. She had no choice but to send clothes directly, and the fabrics she used to send to the old lady to make clothes were given to her children and grandchildren.

Lin Xiaoxiao has a good relationship with her brother and sister-in-law, but seeing that Lin's mother is wearing clothes with patches and patches, and then looking back and thinking about the fabric that was sent out, it is always not a taste in my heart, and I will inevitably have a trace of complaints about my brother and sister-in-law.

Mother Lin touched the brand-new clothes, and her distressed mouth twitched: "How many days can I live, what clothes do I wear, how many old guys in the village are worse than me, look at the bad old man of the Zhang family who directly put the fertilizer bag on his body as pants." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that Mother Lin was telling the truth, and she had met such a person in the village more than once, but if she had no money or good things in her hands, where could she watch Mother Lin go out dressed in tatters.

"What I gave you, you wear." Lin Xiaoxiao coaxed Lin's mother before leaving.

After Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the city, she inevitably had to go to see her brother and sister-in-law, and she always had to listen to Lin's mother's explanation. In the past few years, she has been interacting with her brother and sister-in-law less and less, on the one hand, she has a lot of things at home, and on the other hand, after her brother and sister-in-law have gained a firm foothold in the city, they are not willing to run to her for three days and two times.

Lin Xiaoxiao said that to see it was really just a turn around and back, not to mention staying to eat, and turned around and went home without even drinking saliva.

The family has already cooked the meal, and she doesn't want to eat at her brother and sister-in-law's house, their cooking is really coarse tea and light rice. It is also a coarse grain, and Lin Xiaoxiao makes it taste much better.

Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin called bean dregs and fried them directly with some salt in the pot, and they were reluctant to put even oil. If Lin Xiaoxiao wants to eat bean dregs, he has to mix it with vegetable leaves, put some fine flour, and finally beat an egg into it, and then fry it in oil until it is golden on both sides before it comes out of the pot, so that the taste must be very different.

Lin Xiaoxiao often eats coarse grains, but she knows how to cook them and is willing to put effort into them, and the coarse grains she makes are delicious. Other people's families may have two taels of oil a month, she smuggles oil out of the space every day, and no one likes to eat the lard at home, so she often keeps it for Lin's mother.

Lin's mother likes to eat lard more than rapeseed oil, and Lin Xiaoxiao bought the plate oil and sent it to the countryside after knowing it, so that the villagers have always envied Lin's mother's good life and gave birth to a filial daughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao had a lot of good things in her hands, but she didn't dare to take them out and use them, not only did she not dare to take them out and give them to her parents, but she even had to pay attention to them at home. Niuniu is no longer a child, she believes everything she says.

After Niuniu entered the factory to work, she also had a share of what was sent out in the factory, and it would definitely not work if there were benefits issued by the factory as an excuse, so Liu Bin would not allow her to take things out and use them casually.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought that three of the four people in the family went to work, not counting Niuniu's salary, she and Liu Bin only raised one Xiaoxiao, and their monthly salary could not be spent, so she slowly stopped taking things out of the space.

Lin Xiaoxiao calculated everything, but Liu Bin received a telegram from his hometown that the old man in the family died.

Liu Bin took the telegram to ask for leave, he planned to take Lin Xiaoxiao back together, Niuniu and Xiaoxiao would not go back. The relatives of the Liu family don't like Niuniu, and they don't pay attention to Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao has never returned to her hometown for so many years, and she doesn't see them remembering, and she doesn't even ask.

Lin Xiaoxiao packed her luggage and set off with Liu Bin, there is nothing to arrange at home, Niuniu is older, Xiaoxiao has nothing to worry about having her to take care of. The sisters cook for themselves if they want to eat at home, and they can eat in the cafeteria if they don't want to cook.

Liu Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao squeezed onto the train, because they bought tickets temporarily, and only bought hard-seat tickets. The couple didn't have to pick or choose if they didn't have children, and they could get through it by sitting in a hard seat, but Lin Xiaoxiao's legs were swollen when they got out of the car.

Liu Bin went out of the train station and found an ox cart, and let Lin Xiaoxiao sit on it and bump all the way into the village, which is better than walking back on two legs. There's still a tough battle to fight when they get back.

Lin Xiaoxiao was also uncomfortable in the car, Liu Bin asked her to sit on top of the luggage, and her brows relaxed a little.

The uncle who drove the car also muttered in local dialect that she was hypocritical, saying that she was more squeamish than the female intellectuals who had just come from the village, and at first glance she was a person who was used to living a good life.

Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Liu Bin's hand and didn't let him refute, but silently dispelled the idea of being ready to give the uncle an extra five cents.

Liu Bin thought that as soon as he entered the door, he would see the shed where the family did white things, and all kinds of things had been arranged, so he only had to come back to cry and mourn. He and Lin Xiaoxiao knelt in front of the coffin when they entered the door, and only after the incense on their heads did they realize that something was wrong at home.

There was no shed in the courtyard, no white cloth was hung, not much paper was burned in front of the coffin, and there were not many people offering incense.

Before he could ask, Brother Liu was pushed out by the old lady, saying that the family had no money for the old man's funeral.

Liu Bin blocked his throat in one breath, he has been sending money on time all these years, and all kinds of clothes for the New Year and festivals have not been sent home to the second elder. It is right to say on time that there should be savings at home, so there is no money for the funeral.

"My mother said there was no money, and I didn't have any money in my hand." No matter how honest Brother Liu is, he has his own careful eyes. It can be seen from the fact that he went to the provincial capital to find Liu Bin that he found that people in the city could not eat meat every day, and they had to save food when they ate, and they also had to grow vegetables in the yard, so he had no yearning for life in the city.

He prefers to stay in the village to grow vegetables, and he is not tired of working, and the time of farming is short every year, a few days in summer, and he can sleep lazily every day in winter. When Mrs. Liu asked him about Liu Bin's life in the city, he tried his best to pick on the shortcomings of the city and said that he succeeded in dispelling the old lady's idea of letting her children and grandchildren enter the city.

"No money? You won't pay the credit first, and this funeral will have to wait for me to come back? In case I can't make it back, are you going to send my dad up the mountain like this? Liu Bin asked with a frozen face.

Lin Xiaoxiao gently pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned him to be quiet, there were condolences outside the door.

Liu Bin guessed that it was the people in the village who watched the excitement, but under the guise of condolences, he couldn't stop people from entering the door.

"I have ten yuan here, you buy what you should buy first, remember to report the bill." Liu Bin knew that ten yuan was definitely not enough, but he didn't want to be the wrongdoer, so he could only pay a little bit out.

Brother Liu didn't say anything when he got the money, turned around and called his family to do something, he had a plan in his heart, but he was so aggrieved that he waited for Liu Bin to come back because he had no money in his hand.
