7 Military wives in the 80s (6)
Lin Xiaoxiao found two small benches for them to sit on, and she went back to knit her sweater.
Wang Xiaomei looked at her younger brother who was stupid and drooling, and said curiously: "Auntie, what are you doing?" ”
Although she doesn't like the child's mother, the little girl asks politely, and she doesn't want to answer.
"Auntie is knitting a sweater." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stop when he spoke.
Wang Xiaomei suddenly pointed to the oranges on the table and asked, "Auntie, what is that?" ”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her fingers: "That's an orange, a fruit." ”
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, but she didn't mean to give the oranges to the little girl to eat, she was not reluctant, she just didn't want to develop the habit of the little girl staring at her house, there were still many good things at home, and she didn't like anything she ate.
The oranges on the table were still eaten by Lin Xiaoxiao from her hometown in the car, but she didn't eat them on the way.
Wang Xiaomei looked at the oranges with blank eyes, and didn't dare to say that she wanted to eat them, but the three-year-old Wang Aijun was not afraid.
"I'm going to eat oranges." Wang Aijun ranked first at home, and he was the only one who usually had some delicious food, and he didn't learn to be polite when he arrived at Lu's house.
Now the fruit is very precious, and she doesn't plan to give it away. Although there are a lot of spaces in the space, no one will casually give snacks to other people's children, and their own children are not enough to eat, so how can they give it to outsiders.
Wang Aijun couldn't eat oranges, he simply cried, this is a trick he often uses at home, as long as he cries, the family will coax him. Lin Xiaoxiao was afraid that the bear child would cry at home and couldn't speak, so she simply opened the door and stood at the door waiting for Chen Xia to come back.
Chen Xia came back and saw Lin Xiaoxiao standing at the door waiting for her to come back, thinking that something was wrong, so she ran forward in fright.
Chen Xia entered the door and saw that her youngest son was just sobbing quietly, but when she saw her, she shouted loudly to eat oranges, so she had to look at Lin Xiaoxiao with an embarrassed face and ask what happened.
"Xiaomei, how did you take your brother, you don't coax him to cry."
"Mom, he wants to eat oranges, and Auntie won't cry until she gives them."
When Chen Xia heard this, she felt embarrassed and embarrassed to someone else's house, and she was so angry that she slapped her daughter's buttocks: "What nonsense, hurry up and go home for me." ”
Chen Xia took her youngest son and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "I'm sorry, Company Commander Lu's family has caused you trouble!" ”
Lin Xiaoxiao was uncomfortable hearing this title, she frowned: "It's okay, just don't let me watch the child in the future." By the way, sister-in-law, I have a name, you will call me Lin Xiaoxiao in the future. ”
At the dinner table at noon, Lin Xiaoxiao told Lu Zheng about this, she was afraid that it would affect the relationship between Lu Zheng and Wang Bing.
"It's okay, no one has any surplus food now, it's right if you don't give this orange, and if you give it to a child, other children will also stare at you and want to find what you want to eat."
The other door Wang's family also happened to be talking about this, Chen Xia complained while feeding her son: "What do you mean by Lin Xiaoxiao?" If you don't give your child food, don't let your child see it, how can there be a child who is not greedy. Their family conditions are good, and it is not a big deal to eat oranges for their children, but they are so stingy. ”
Wang Bing buried his head in eating, he didn't want to pay attention to Chen Xia, he, as an instructor, could do ideological and political work for others, but he couldn't do ideological work for his family members, so he could only be inaudible.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly adapted to life in the army, and there were no children at home, so she was quite relaxed as a housewife. The vegetable plot assigned to her was also planted with all kinds of vegetables, and Lu Zheng was responsible for the rough work. She is responsible for three meals a day, and now the whole building knows that Lin Xiaoxiao is good at craftsmanship and is willing to spend money to eat and drink.
It doesn't snow in winter in Yuncheng, and before you know it, it's the Spring Festival. Lin Xiaoxiao celebrated the New Year with Lu Zheng for the first time, and all kinds of things were prepared for many miles. She has nothing to do except prepare all kinds of food every day, but she is better at cooking.
Because the pot of brine at home is used too much, the taste is getting stronger and stronger. Usually, everyone is embarrassed to look for her, but many people want her to help marinate meat during the New Year. Especially for people who have a good relationship with Lu Zheng, I have long seen that he eats and drinks spicy food and spicy every day.
Lu Zheng was also helpless, some people were embarrassed to talk to Lin Xiaoxiao, so they found him to speak. So, he took over several jobs for Lin Xiaoxiao.
"What you promised, you can do it yourself, I don't care." Lin Xiaoxiao said that these are not vindictive, this braised meat is not a difficult thing, just throw the meat into the brine and cook it, the key is to make the brine.
There is old brine at home, Lu Zheng can also do it, he doesn't eat less meat, and of course he can solve the problem by himself.
Lu Zheng can have three days off during the Spring Festival, and the soldiers will celebrate the festival together on the Chinese New Year's Eve. Lin Xiaoxiao was not happy to join in the fun, and would rather stay at home alone.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children began to make noise downstairs. Because many family members brought their children to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiaoxiao felt more lively than usual.
Lin Xiaoxiao lives on the first floor and can hear the sound of children playing better than other people's homes. She is noisy, but the New Year will be lively, not to mention other people's children, she can't say anything, so she can only close the door and go out less.
Lin Xiaoxiao spent the New Year in the army for the first time, and she didn't understand the situation, she was afraid of being rude, so she prepared all kinds of things for hospitality at home in advance.
The things in the space are not easy to take out and use, and the candy in the department store is bought for several catties. Although it's just fruit candy, she doesn't like it, but the children like it.
Lu Zheng went out for a turn and came back, followed by a group of children into the door, Lin Xiaoxiao only knew the sister and brother of the opposite door.
"Xiaoxiao, you give each of them a few pieces of candy." They are all children in the army, and no matter whether Lu Zheng knows him or not, every child is treated equally.
"The sugar is on the table, take it yourself." Lin Xiaoxiao was not stingy, these fruit candies were originally bought for children to eat, and she didn't plan to eat them herself.
The children left happily after grabbing a handful, they were not greedy, and they were not familiar with Lin Xiaoxiao, if it wasn't for Lu Zheng with them, they wouldn't have entered the door at all.
"Aunt Lin." Wang Xiaomei and Wang Aijun have successfully changed their titles from Aunt to Aunt Lin, and the two of them have seen Lin Xiaoxiao many times and think they are more familiar.
"Xiaomei, you take your brother to play."
Seeing that her friends were gone, Wang Xiaomei kept turning her feet, rubbing and rubbing because she didn't want to go.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the two children, their eyes were still staring at the fruit bowl on the table, and they still didn't understand something. She didn't dare to give melon seeds and peanuts to such a young child, so she could only give her sister and brother an apple and let them eat it at home.
After Lin Xiaoxiao closed the door, he sighed: "Fortunately, we don't have children yet, children are really troublesome, and it's not easy to bring them up." ”
"What's not easy, our parents didn't raise us the same way when we were young." Lu Zheng is lowering his head to peel apples, and he can ensure that the peel of apples will continue.
"Don't talk to me before." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to hear the previous stories of suffering, she was afraid that she would be sent to an era with worse conditions by the system next time.
"You said we've been together for so long, why hasn't your stomach moved?" Lu Zheng gave her half of the apple.
"Ahh
