I haven't seen the lady for many days, as soon as Xiao Xuan, the fourth and Xiao Feng, the fifth, stepped into the kitchen, they saw the water hibiscus wearing a plain dress and filling the food box with dumplings and fish The corners of her mouth rose, very cute and lively, and the small package hanging on the shoulders of the two brothers was dropped.

Walking up to her, with a smile in his eyes, the three of them hugged each other.

Shui Hibiscus was stunned by the sudden hug, "Fourth brother? Fifth brother? ……”

"Daughter-in-law, we miss you so much." Xiao Xuan, the fourth child, whispered in her right ear about her thoughts.

The fifth brother, Xiao Feng, also showed silent thoughts, but showed a more indifferent expression than the fourth brother, patting her little shoulder, "Rong'er is so cute." ”

Xiao Ning lifted his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his cheeks, and said with a sad face: "I'm tired after a day of running, you two give me some rules!" He looked at the dumplings in the food box and asked in a questioning tone, "Furong, what are you doing with the dumplings in the food box?" ”

Xiao Li hurriedly explained: "Xiao Rong heard that Aunt Liu is at home by herself today, and Aunt Liu usually takes care of our family, so I will send the dumplings after cooking, third brother, you are tired, sit down and eat dumplings!" ”

"Ning'er, look, Xiao Rongrong specially got another pot of spicy fish for the three of you! Xuan'er and Feng'er sit down, we haven't eaten dumplings yet, it's good that the family is here! Xiao Tuo walked over from the three brothers with his daughter-in-law in his arms and settled them on the bench.

Then he sat next to his daughter-in-law, and under the light, the tread pattern on his left eye was even more demonic.

The eldest Xiao Cang didn't say anything, and sat down next to his daughter-in-law to eat dumplings.

"This is...... Fish? I also put the chili peppers. Xiao Feng was doing a little housekeeper in the landlord's house, he had seen a lot, sat down happily, picked up the chopsticks and poked a piece of fish meat in front of him.

Seeing that the atmosphere at home seemed to be slightly wrong, Shui Furong said with a smile: "Sixth brother, let's go and send dumplings to Aunt Liu after eating." ”

"Oh, that's fine." Xiao Li didn't want to go out at this moment.

It is rare for a family to get together for a meal, and he cherishes the lively atmosphere only when there is a woman in the family.

Xiao Cang eats very little, and always likes to quietly look at his daughter-in-law who eats fish while talking with his second brother, and he inevitably sighs in his heart, this is like a home! So, while everyone had eaten for a while, he said: "All seven of our family are here, so I'll talk about our family's future plans." ”

Several pairs of eyes looked at him, and with the gaze of his daughter-in-law's fiery gaze, Xiao Cang straightened his chest, "The silver in our hands can buy a few acres of land, and we can also build a stone house again." The stone house is frost-resistant in winter, Fu'er is a woman's family, and her body is weak, so we have to repair the house before winter comes. ”

Xiao Tuo nodded, "Big brother, I agree with the matter of repairing the house, Xiao Rongrong, first wronged you to live in a wooden house, the second brother will definitely let you live in a stone house that is warm in winter and cool in summer." ”

"Good...... But it takes a lot of man-hours to repair the house, and the whole family comes to repair the house? ”

"Xuan'er, Feng'er, can you take time out of the landlord's house to help repair the house?"

Xiao Ning frowned and looked at Xiao Xuan, the fourth elder, "Xuan'er is going to take the imperial examination next year, no one's time can delay him, big brother, a few of us will do it." No matter how bad it is, I'll call the dog to help. ”

The family has temporarily negotiated to buy a few acres of land to grow grain and vegetables by themselves, and then they will demolish the old building and build a new house.

The early summer night is as cool as water.

Several young men of the Xiao family went to bathe in the stream in front of the house, leaving Xiao Cang alone at home to serve his daughter-in-law to take a bath.

The brothers returned home after taking a shower, only to see a light on in the attic.
