"Of course, you pick for yourself." Ding's mother handed them the canvas bag.

"It still looks like it's still there." Ding Mingyue looked at the military uniform that his son took out and said, "There is no patch!" ”

"Yes, the school." Ding's father looked at them and said, "Give me some care, don't break it." ”

"You don't have to say this, they must have treated this dress as if it were eyeballs." Ding's mother smiled, patted her forehead and said, "By the way, there is also a military jacket, Guoliang and Jiefang went to school in the county to wear warmth." It's like three, just one for each of the three of you. ”

"Really?" Ying Jiefang immediately shook it off and put it on his body, turned around in front of their eyes, and said happily, "How is it?" ”

"Beautiful!" Ding Mingyue nodded heavily.

"Mine for Dad!" Ding Guodong smiled shyly, "I often go to the ground, and wearing this dress gets in the way." You can see that this coat covers my buttocks, and it is inconvenient to work, and if it is torn and dirty, it will not make me feel distressed to death. ”

"If your dad wants to wear it, he has to change it, and if he changes it, it will ruin the clothes." Ding's mother looked at him and said, "It's good for you to take it away, and no one will let you wear it on the ground." ”

You should put your hands free in your pockets, "Huh! What is it? He took out an envelope from his pocket and opened it curiously, "Money!" Mom, uncle, aunt, how much money do you like? He panicked.

Mother Ding looked over when they heard this, looked at the money in Ying Jiefang's hand and asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Out of my coat pocket." Ying Jiefang hurriedly put the envelope on the kang table.

Ding's father hollowed out the envelope, which contained not only 300 yuan, but also some national food stamps, no more than ten catties. But this is also saved by the son-in-law's mouth.

"Mom and Dad, you see there's a letter." Ding Guoliang pointed to the letter paper on the kang table.

Ding's father opened it, to the effect that this was the bride price for marrying Xing'er, and the second elder must accept it and dispose of it at will.

"This kid!" Ding's mother looked at the short lines of words on the letterhead, without too many words, but ironed very much!

"Old man, keep this money, and return it to them when I see Chang Sheng." Ding's mother thought about it and said directly, "We are marrying our daughter, not selling our daughter, we can't be too greedy, Chang Sheng has already given so many things, it is his business that he has money, we can't take it with confidence." ”

"Okay! Listen to you. Although Ding's father was reluctant, he also nodded in agreement.

Ding's mother put the money away, hurriedly got off the kang to heat the rice, and rested early after eating, tired for a day.

Out of the east room, it is the farmer's stove, Ding's mother pasted the scallion pancake on the edge of the big iron pot, added a handful of firewood, and burned the stove prosperously.

Ding Mingyue also came out, serving a bowl of rice.

"Sister-in-law, my son-in-law is good!" Ding's mother smiled and said.

"I won't buy you sister-in-law with this money!" Ding Mingyue looked at her stinky and beautiful appearance funny, didn't she just want to compliment her? No, he frowned, "I'm more suspicious of him." ”

"Why?" Ding's mother raised her eyes and looked at her puzzled.

"Sister-in-law, you think, now in this countryside, a few buckets of wheat can marry a daughter-in-law. Aren't you stupid to say your son-in-law? Spending so much to marry an apricot, it's just so simple to live. Ding Mingyue pouted and shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?" Ding's mother said with a displeased face.

"I suspect that either he has a hidden disease, or he has a habit of beating his wife! On the surface, hypocrisy and righteousness, but on the inside, there are many such people, not to mention other places, there are many such people in our village. Ding Mingyue said matter-of-factly, and the aftermath of his eyes secretly glanced at his sister-in-law with a black face.

"I said sister-in-law, you can't say something nice." Ding's mother said with a gloomy face, "Don't eat the delicious food given by your son-in-law." ”

"Hey! Why? Ding Mingyue became angry when he heard it.

Don't look at her working in the town government, but you can also see Tiansuke's wild vegetable dumplings, and she hasn't tasted white noodles for a long time.

"Since you don't believe in my son-in-law's character, you are embarrassed to eat food given by others." Ding's mother squinted at her.

Ding Mingyue was dumbfounded, and immediately changed his words, "Sister-in-law, this niece and son-in-law must be a good one, the People's Liberation Army!" The character is trustworthy, our apricot is blessed, and he will be happy for a lifetime. All of that I just did was speculation, and I haven't seen a real person, so it's not true. ”

Mother Ding looked at her sister-in-law with a 180-degree change in amazement, and shook her head slightly and was speechless.

If Ding Haixing is here, she must exclaim, Auntie, what about your festival!

Ding Mingyue must have said very stylishly: Can you eat it as a meal?

Ding's mother warmed up the scallion pancakes and brought them to the kang table in the east room, and Ding Mingyue served the wild vegetable porridge with clear soup and little water, and also brought it in.

Paired with black pickle gnocchi and wild vegetable dumplings, it's dinner.

Everyone went to get wild vegetable dumplings and left scallion pancakes for each other to eat.

Seeing this, Dad Ding directly divided the scallion pancakes among the four of them, one of them together, "Eat!" We've been eating a lot of white noodles in the city these days. ”

"Good boy! Eat. Ding's mother also looked at them and said.

Ding Mingyue and the four of them looked at each other and sighed...... Take a bite to eat, this scallion pancake is so fragrant.

Ding's father and Ding's mother nibbled on the wild vegetable dumplings, stretched their necks, and drank the wild vegetable porridge before swallowing the rough throat of the wild vegetable dumplings.

This is really from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the couple look at each other, and they have to adapt as soon as possible.

After eating, Ding Guodong and the three of them glanced at each other, put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out, going out to fan the flames.

&*&

At the same time, the old Hao family at the end of the village, the couple sat cross-legged on the kang in the dark.

The house was quiet, except for the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

As early as when the sun was setting, their family had a meal, eating dry when they were busy and drinking thin when they were free.

So the dinner is boiled cornmeal and wild vegetable porridge, corn and core are ground into flour, rough, and throat-pulling. Wild vegetables are dried in the summer and stored for consumption in the winter.

The clear soup is low in water, and the thin soup is filled with a big belly, which can be regarded as a meal. After eating, they were reluctant to light the kerosene lamps, and the children ran out to play.

Hao's mother rubbed the hemp rope black, feeling that her mouth was still rough and rough, "I don't have high requirements, when can I eat pure stick noodles." ”

Hao's father leaned on the kang and was silent, it was dark early in winter, and he didn't have to work in the field, so he couldn't sleep and could only close his eyes and recuperate, thinking nonsense.

Hao's mother said to herself, "I don't know if the long lock has won the daughter of a high-ranking official!" I just hope that they get married and our family's life will be better. ”

"Married? We've only been back for five days, and we didn't even have that speed by train. Father Hao shook his head and said.

"When it comes to getting married, I'm worried again, what kind of bride price do we have for this daughter-in-law." Hao Mu frowned and said.

"The money sent by Changsuo to the house, except for your medical treatment and medicine, the rest is not saved." Hao's father sat up straight and said, the family tightened his belt, saved a lot of money.
