"Eldest sister, we came after breakfast, you don't care about us."

"Okay, you sit down, I'll eat first." In winter, the days are short, and many people only eat two meals, and the same is true for the Xiong family. Xiong Xin is a little girl, and she doesn't know how to make a complicated breakfast, but she just throws a few leftovers from the previous day into it and cooks it into soup and rice, and if the conditions are good, she can add a little salt and a little lard.

"Xiong Wei, you go buy some meat and come back." After breakfast, Lu Hua took out a dollar and gave it to Xiong Wei.

"Lu Zheng, I'll go back after eating."

"Sister, I still have to accompany Xiaoxiao back to my parents' house, so I won't stay for dinner." Lu Zheng stopped Xiong Wei and didn't let him go out to buy meat. He didn't want to stay and eat, seeing that his sister's family only ate two meals, he knew that their life was hard, so why stay and add to the chaos.

"Eldest sister, my parents are still waiting for us at home." Lin Xiaoxiao helped to speak, but in fact, her mother's family didn't know that she was back.

"Sister, let's sit for a while and leave, you send Xiong Xin and the others home to live for a few days." Lu Zheng wanted to persuade his sister to go back to her parents' house for a few days, but the pigs and chickens raised at home had to be taken care of, so she could only take a few nieces over to play for a few days.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xiaoxiao went out early in the morning, and it was not yet lunch time when they arrived at Lin's house.

Lu Zheng carried good cigarettes and wine for his father-in-law, new military uniforms for his two brothers-in-law, and a tank model made of empty bullet shells. Lin Xiaoxiao also prepared various gifts for her parents, but she didn't want her in-laws to see her big bags and small bags brought back to her parents' house, and the small items she bought were not noticeable.

She is a little homesick now, but she just thinks that this is her cause and effect, she is living in place of the original owner, and this is also her parents' peace of mind.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were happy and excited when they saw their daughter and son-in-law come back.

Lu Zheng sat in the hall and talked to Lin's father, and Lin Dahu and Lin Xiaohu listened on the side. The brothers have always been very envious of Lu Zheng being able to be a soldier, and they also want to be a soldier, but unfortunately Mother Lin disagrees, and Father Lin can only give up.

Lin Xiaoxiao actually has a big brother, but this eldest brother is the child left by Lin's father's first wife. Brother Lin married a wife and had children early, and the house he built was only a wall away from the Lin family, but he was not close to Lin's father. Lin Xiaoxiao's three sisters and brothers are not close to Brother Lin, and they usually move around less.

Father Lin built a new house for Brother Lin, and also arranged for him to marry a wife and have children before dividing him out. Mother Lin didn't be harsh on Brother Lin, but she wasn't pro, plus Brother Lin's uncle's family was mixed in it. Father Lin also didn't expect his eldest son, and he had already said that in the future, the pension would go to the big tiger and the little tiger brothers.

Because of this, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to her parents' house, and Brother Lin never appeared. When Lin Xiaoxiao got married, Brother Lin didn't even send the money in the box, and Father Lin didn't spread the matter, when several people in the family knew about it.

"Mom, don't give Xuanxuan candy, eating polysaccharides is not good for your teeth." Lin Xiaoxiao stopped Mother Lin's action of feeding sugar.

"Children don't eat candy and eat anything, other people don't want to eat it, you are to blame, and you don't let the child eat it."

"Mom, what are you doing for lunch?" Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the old man didn't understand these big truths, so he simply changed the topic.

"What do you want to eat?" Mother Lin hugged Lu Xuan and asked, "Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Grandma, I want to eat steamed eggs with meat foam." Lu Xuan doesn't eat egg yolks, and Lin Xiaoxiao often cooks this dish at home in order to let her eat egg yolks.

"Okay, you wait, grandma goes to the kitchen."

"Mom, I'll help you light the fire." Lin's family still uses an earthen stove, and the burning is all the dead branches and fallen leaves from the mountain rake, and someone needs to guard the fire when cooking.

"Mom, big brother is still like that?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked while lighting the fire.

"You don't care what he looks like, I don't rely on him to raise me, and I haven't done anything to be sorry for him over the years." Mother Lin can be regarded as justified when she says this. When she married Father Lin, Brother Lin was already eight years old. A few years ago, every family earned work, and the Lin family had nothing worth remembering, so there was no need for her to treat Brother Lin badly.

"You gave birth to a daughter, and your mother-in-law didn't say anything, right?" Mother Lin didn't want to talk about it, but was worried that her daughter was wronged for not giving birth to a son.

"Mom, we don't live together, whatever she says." Lin Xiaoxiao is not worried about her mother-in-law, as long as Lu Zheng can carry it clearly, the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not a problem.

"If only you had a good idea." Mother Lin also doesn't want to get involved in the life of her daughter and son-in-law, as long as her daughter is doing well.

"Dad, you drink some wine in the future, drinking too much is not good for your health." At the dinner table, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but persuade him.

Lu Zheng held the wine glass with his hand, and he didn't know whether to put it down or continue......

Lin Dahu and Lin Xiaohu took the rare opportunity to mix a glass of wine on the table, but they were hit by their sister before they started.

"It's rare for the family to be here today, and it's rare to drink two glasses when I'm happy, and I don't usually drink it." Father Lin was reluctant to bring back the good wine brought back by his son-in-law.

"It's not that you don't drink, it's that you don't have to drink." Mother Lin ruthlessly exposed the truth.

"......" Father Lin picked up his wine glass.

The big tiger and the little tiger brothers looked at each other, they still don't drink this wine, eat a few more good dishes.

Lu Zheng is glad that wine is hard to buy, and he really has very few opportunities to drink, let alone drink at home. With the old man carrying the thunder in front, he knew that if he could not drink in the future, he would not drink.

"Dad, it's been two years since Big Tiger and Little Tiger graduated, and you didn't think about finding something to do for them." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want her two handsome younger brothers to stay in the countryside to farm.

"Looking for something? Plant the land at home, and it would be nice for them to have a place to pick me up in the future. "Father Lin doesn't want his children to work, but in the countryside, in addition to being able to jump out of the farm gate by taking the university entrance examination, there is only one way left to become a soldier. These two roads are not going to go through the two sons, what can he do.

"Dad, you let the big tiger and the little tiger learn some crafts, and you can earn some pocket money when you are not working."

Big Tiger and Little Tiger stared at Father Lin expectantly, they didn't have any idea of learning the craft, they just wanted to go out to the city to have a look.

"Learn a craft? What to learn? We don't know any skilled masters in our family, but at most we learn to be masons from your uncle. "Father Lin is still a little reluctant, helping people build houses is not a good job, it is hard and tiring.

"Dad, if you want, Lu Zheng can also help inquire." Lin Xiaoxiao arranged a task for Lu Zheng in the blink of an eye.

Except for Lin Xiaoxiao, the family stared at Lu Zheng. "Dad, Big Tiger, Little Tiger, think about what you want to learn first? I'll find someone again. Lu Zheng also has confidence in saying this. There are several comrades-in-arms in the city who have returned from changing jobs, and instead of arranging for the two brothers-in-law to go to the city to work, they are just looking for someone to learn a little craft to make a living, and this can still be done.

"Dad, I don't know what to study." Lin Xiaohu didn't know what he was going to learn. He was born only a few minutes later than Lin Dahu, but he is the youngest child in the family, and he has been let by his elder sister since he was a child, but he has developed a temperament of not worrying about everything. Anyway, since he was a child, he has been with his twin brother for everything, and his brother is responsible for everything.
