49 Military wives in the 80s (48)
After Lu Zheng rested this time, he started a life of going out early and returning late, and he didn't come back for dinner at noon. He was busy running outside and rarely stayed in the office. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what he was busy with every day, and she didn't ask about his work.
A few times Lu Zheng came back, Lin Xiaoxiao was already asleep, and he felt the movement of him going home in a daze. Lu Xuan was complaining that she hadn't talked to her father for a long time, both father and daughter had to hurry up in the morning, Lu Zheng came back late, and Lu Xuan had already fallen asleep. If the father and daughter hadn't met in the morning, they wouldn't have been able to say a word all day long.
Lin Xiaoxiao is also busy looking for a storefront, she needs to find a place close to home so that she can go home. It's just that her timing is a bit unfortunate now, and she hasn't found a suitable house yet, so she can only wait until the New Year to see it.
The day after Lu Xuan finished the final exam, snowflakes began to fall in the sky. No matter how cold it is in the winter in Cloud City, it will not snow, and this is the first time Lu Xuan has seen it. She ran downstairs excitedly and had fun in the snow.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood on the balcony and called her home, cooking a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup and forcing her to drink it. When she was in the snow, Lu Xuan didn't feel cold, and when she got home, she found that her hands were frozen. After drinking the ginger soup, her body was warm, Lin Xiaoxiao asked her to do her homework, and she honestly stayed in the house and didn't go out.
There are few vegetables sold on snowy days, so Lin Xiaoxiao took advantage of Lu Xuan's inattention to smuggle out the spinach in the space to eat. The snow also affected Lu Zheng's work, he didn't go out for a few days, and he would go home on time for dinner at noon.
Lu Zheng is at home, Lin Xiaoxiao cooks even more carefully, worried that he will not eat well outside, so he cooks more delicious food every day and asks him to make up for more.
Lin Xiaoxiao has to prepare all kinds of New Year's goods at home, and the couple is not only preparing for their own small family, but also preparing all kinds of New Year's goods to bring back to their hometown. In addition to the wax goods prepared in advance, she took Lu Xuan with her every day to buy and buy. Lu Xuan was not happy to go out with her, thinking that she bought too much every day, and it was tiring every time she brought it back.
Lin Xiaoxiao was ready to go home early for the New Year, but Lu Zheng was busy until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The family of three rushed home on the last bus, and by the time they got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Lu family had been looking forward to their return, but they were still surprised when they heard the knock on the door, who would have thought that they would come back so late. I thought I didn't see anyone in the afternoon, and I couldn't come back until the next day, but who knew it would take so long to get home.
Lu's mother felt sorry for her youngest son, and asked Lu Zheng with concern: "Have you eaten it?" I'm going to have a hot meal, don't come back if you come back so late, and it's the same when you come back tomorrow. ”
"Mom, how can this be the same, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will keep vigil with you. I haven't been at home for the New Year in years! ”
"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll get you something to eat."
The family of three was hungry for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao took food out, but it was so cold, everyone just wanted to eat a bite of hot food, and those snacks didn't move much. Lu Xuan doesn't love it either, she is still having a temper, she doesn't want to go back to her grandparents' house for the New Year.
Lu Zheng can spoil his daughter, but he is not used to this, and he also asks his daughter to be close to his grandparents and uncle's family.
Mother Lu warmed up the food here and let them eat first. Lin Xiaoxiao was originally very hungry, but looking at the food on the table, there was no taste. The table was all greasy, there was not a single green leafy vegetable in sight, and the taste was still salty.
She endured the discomfort and ate a few bites, but she couldn't eat the rest, and she excused herself to be too hungry to eat and leave the food in the bowl. Lu Xuan also said that she was full, and there was most of the bowl of rice left.
Lu Zheng knew that the mother and daughter usually used small bowls to fill rice at home, and now it was normal to change to a large bowl and not finish eating, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. Mother Lu saw the leftover food of the mother and daughter, and her stomach was full of opinions, feeling that the mother and daughter were wasting food, and they had only lived a good life for a few days.
Mother Lu wanted to say something, but when she thought of the New Year, she could only endure it.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't notice her mother-in-law's change of face, she took Lu Xuan back to clean up her house. I have to stay in my hometown for a few days, and I can't live at my in-laws' house, and there is no place for my in-laws to sleep as a family of three.
Lu Zheng stopped his chopsticks and said, "I'll go later, you two sit, don't move on such a cold day." ”
"Then hurry up." Lin Xiaoxiao urged Lu Zheng that Lu Xuan would definitely not stay vigil until 12 o'clock before going to sleep.
Lin Xiaoxiao happened to come to her aunt in the past two days, and she was unwell, he felt sorry for her and didn't let her do it. When Lu's mother saw this scene, she didn't like Lin Xiaoxiao even more, and thought she let Lu Zheng work.
Zhou Xiaoli teased Lin Xiaoxiao while snorting melon seeds: "Brother and sister, you don't go to work every day, why do you still have men to do the work at home." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao was in the stage of being upset, and she didn't want to fight back directly: "Sister-in-law, I let my man work, what is your opinion?" If you are not convinced, you will hold it back. It's not my sister-in-law's turn to intervene in my family's affairs. ”
"Mom, look at ......" Zhou Xiaoli pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao and complained to her mother-in-law.
Lu's mother didn't need her to say it, but Lu's father pressed her on the side, reminding her what day it was.
The older generation of people are particular, and Lu's mother believes in these even more, she can only glare at Zhou Xiaoli fiercely, and she will not look at the timing if she provokes trouble. The New Year is going to cause trouble, she, who is a mother-in-law, doesn't make a sound, she has to talk more at the boss.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw her mother-in-law's face, she naturally found that she was uncomfortable, but she didn't want to coax people. Anyway, in the eyes of her mother-in-law, no matter how well she does, she can pick the bones in the eggs, and the fault is all her daughter-in-law's, and there is nothing bad about her son.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Lu Zheng cleaned up their house together, she didn't clean up the house, she just didn't want to stay and listen to her mother-in-law's education.
Lu's mother couldn't train her, so she talked about the ancient times on the side, how she did things when she was a daughter-in-law, how she flattered her mother-in-law, how her mother-in-law treated her, and how she was filial to the old man.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know if it was true or not, but she was sure that she couldn't do it, and her mother-in-law called her daughter-in-law to kneel down. The Qing Dynasty is dead, and she is not a slave, so she still has to come to this set. It's a pity that her mother-in-law doesn't do ideological work, when it comes to these truths, it's one set after another, and it will hint at her.
Lin Xiaoxiao pretended to be stupid anyway, she didn't believe that her mother-in-law dared to say this directly and let her do it. If you really want to say that, don't talk about her, even her good sister-in-law will jump out of the ring with her mother-in-law first.
Mother Lu said so much, and when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao and her son going to clean up the room together, she thought that those words just now had worked. She was talking about it, and she pulled Zhou Xiaoli to continue talking, regardless of her eldest daughter-in-law's constant roll of her eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unwell and didn't want to come over to celebrate the New Year, so she took out the red envelope prepared in advance and gave each of the three children in the eldest brother's family a red envelope.
The three children shouted happily, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
Lu's mother's face turned cloudy again, what kind of red envelopes did the second family's give them, but the two grandsons couldn't get it, and in the end it didn't fall into the hands of the child's mother, what a fool.
