Li Xiumei burst out laughing, "Who said your second brother didn't send it?" The key is here, you mail things to your mother's house, and your mother's family will send them over, what does the old lady think in her heart? What do others think when they see it? You are mailing it to your mother's family, and you can't help it to your mother-in-law's family? Li Xiumei nodded at her, "Why are you so confused?" Your second brother is a low-key person, often at night, no one looks at it and sends it here, your mother-in-law is angry, and she won't say good things about you when she takes something. ”

Lin Tong blinked incomprehensibly, was she given away things for nothing in the past few years before she fell in love?

She didn't please the money and effort.

"Didn't you see how I sent something to my mother-in-law? I bought a piece of fabric before, isn't this about the New Year, I want to make a new dress for the old lady, the old lady said don't want it, I bought it and went to the house of the seventh aunt in front of me to talk, and then took it to your mother-in-law. In less than a day, the seven aunts and eight aunts in this village have spread all over the village, and now they all say that I am filial. My mother-in-law was also happy, and took this fabric to show off to the old sisters, saying that I had to buy it, and she didn't want me to give it or something...... You see, how much face does she have in this way? You have to give this gift to the real place. ”

Lin Tong listened silently.

Xu Xiaowan never engages in vain things, nor does she love face like other elderly people, she really hasn't paid attention to these.

The reason why she asked her second brother to send things was that it was unnecessary to mail them twice, and second, she sent them to the Xu family to ask them to send things to the second brother, and the old lady must have said that she would make up for her mother's family.

She actually has her own careful eye in her heart, let her mother's family send things, can it be the same as her mother's family accepting things?

"Just like you just now, you bought a lot of meat, right? I see that sack has to be about ten pounds, right? ”

Lin Tong nodded, and said honestly: "Sixteen catties of pork, six catties of beef, and a lump of saury." ”

"In the car just now, did someone ask you what you bought? Didn't I ask you too? What did you say? ”

Lin Tong said at the time: "It's nothing, I bought some New Year's goods for the old man." Someone asked, "Is it meat?" She nodded. Some people also ask how much this sack is, right? What was she talking about? Oh, it seems to be "okay, it's all messy, it looks like a lot." ”

Lin Tong couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he thought of his reply.

Li Xiumei said to her: "Remembered? If it were me, I would say that I bought meat for my mother-in-law, and tell them the same way, it's almost the New Year, so that my father-in-law and mother-in-law can have a good New Year. How good is this, everyone praises you when they hear it, and then the old man and the old lady also have face. Look at you, if you don't say it, you don't have face, people still have to think, are you afraid that we will eat and drink? ”

Lin Tong said: "How can I be, am I such a stingy person?" ”

"Are you, but you don't stay often, come back once in a while, and you're in a hurry, how many do you say know about you?"

Lin Tong has always felt good about herself, but after listening to what Xiumei's sister-in-law said, she realized that she hadn't handled this matter well.

"I see, I'll go back to town tomorrow and buy it with a lot of fanfare. This time, we must give them enough face for the old man and the old lady. ”

Li Xiumei couldn't help but be happy when she saw her babbling this fiercely. "Don't blame me for speaking straight, originally, the contradiction between Zhenhua and the old lady, the big guy knows it, he doesn't come back often in the past few years, and the big guy can't see this thing anymore, you say, are you talking about the meeting, saying that you are just like this to the old lady? Is the old lady faceless? If Zhenhua and the old lady had a good relationship with the thief before, the big guy couldn't stare at her like this, isn't it all idle? This is the case in the countryside, where every household knows that a little thing is a problem......"

Lin Tong nodded thoughtfully, this was indeed something they hadn't expected. However, I thought about it before, and my heart was full of complaints about the old lady, and she was afraid that she would ignore it!

Listening to Li Xiumei's words today, Lin Tong realized that people's thoughts are really different, and she uses her own ideas to speculate on others, especially the old lady, of course, not on the same frequency.

According to Xiumei's sister-in-law, even if the old lady is still clamoring to go to Shencheng, she won't stay there for long, "Tell her more when you're fine, the deputy division commander in the military region is nothing, and then the old lady will have no advantage, and she has to be careful wherever she goes, and she will feel that it is better to be in the countryside and feel comfortable in the countryside." When the time comes, you buy more things to send people back, so that she thinks she has an excellent son and filial piety, and others don't dare to snub them anymore when they see you treating the old people like this, and naturally treat them with respect, the old lady has gained face, how can she go to you again in the future? I'm afraid I invite her to go, but she won't go. ”

Lin Tong clapped his hands, "Listening to my sister-in-law's words, it's really open!" That's it, or my sister-in-law has a way. ”

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with playing this kind of caution with her mother-in-law, the old lady has benefited, and she doesn't have to worry about facing her day and night, day and night.

Lin Tong consulted with Xiumei's sister-in-law for advice, what to send, which is affordable and enviable to the people in the village, and knows Xu Zhenhua's filial piety to his parents, so he respects the second elder even more.

This is Lin Tong's purpose, and it is also the ultimate purpose of what Li Xiumei said about her for half a day just now.

In the evening, at the dinner table, Xu Laosan talked about the old lady going to Shencheng, "Mom, don't do the whole thing, what are you doing there, you are not familiar with life?" You're just going to stay at home. ”

The old lady scolded with a straight face: "Why are you not familiar with life, your eldest brother and your sister-in-law are not human?" ”

Saying this, Lin Tong listened to how he was in a good mood, but if you want to come to her, you can't say a word well.

That's what she says to keep your breath away.

Xu Laosan glanced at his sister-in-law, and when he saw that her eyelids were not raised, he frowned and said to his mother, "Mom, look at what you said, it's really ugly." I didn't mean that, I mean, there are all buildings in the city, and there is not even a yard, and you go, can you get used to it? I don't know my neighbors in front of me, so how much panic do you live in? If you really want to go, you can stay for a few months, but just talk to my eldest brother, Mom, don't say it again in the future, didn't you say that you didn't follow him when you broke up? Where do you put my face like this? Besides, can you stay, can my dad stay? ”

Lin Tong didn't say a word, she had already told the old lady all the things the third child said, but the old lady now recognized a way to go to the dark: that is, she would retire with her in the future.

This has to be considered in the long run.

Early the next morning, Lin Tong and Xu Laosan took the ox cart from the village to the market and went to the town, first sent Nini and Xiao Nian back to their grandmother's house, and went to buy a piece of navy blue tweed fabric for the old man, and bought a piece of dark purple tweed material for the old lady, and then went back to take the woolen coat bought for the old lady, bought a few catties of sugar cubes in the market, and went back to the village in the afternoon.

There were also two daughters-in-law about forty years old sitting in the car, one of whom was the seventh aunt mentioned by Xiumei's sister-in-law, a woman with a broken mouth.

Lin Tong talked to the two, and then turned the topic to buy New Year's goods for the New Year, listening to the two of them talking about what they bought for the New Year, she interjected with a smile, "I saw that the pork was very fresh yesterday, and I bought a large piece for my mother-in-law, as well as beef and saury, this New Year is basically there, you say, what else do you need to buy?" ”

Aunt Qizi's eyes flashed, "Yesterday I saw that you didn't buy any of those, right?" You don't have a lot of family, but there are a lot of them. ”

Lin Tong nodded, "I bought fifteen or sixteen catties of pork, and I also bought five or six catties of beef, it's not easy to touch this thing once, and I also bought a lump of saury, there are a lot of saury fish in the town, I used to be in the town over there, and the saury is not easy to buy!" By the way, a few days ago, I also mailed some mutton back, and I thought, how can these things be enough for the New Year! ”

Another person listened enviously and said: "It's not enough, this is also because your conditions are good, and our family will buy four or five catties of pork for the New Year." If you kill a chicken at home, it will be like you who are both meat and fish, and the meat alone is divided into several things. ”

Lin Tong was very satisfied with the cooperation of the two, she pointed to the bag she was carrying, "I also watched it for a long time and didn't know what else to buy, thinking about the New Year, I bought a piece of tweed for my parents-in-law and made a coat to wear." My family Zhenhua is also a petty official now, and I want to take the old man and the old lady to live in the spring after the New Year, just to make a coat, and I go to Shencheng to dress it. ”

She said and grabbed a large handful of candy and stuffed it into the seventh aunt's hand, and grabbed another handful and stuffed it into the sister-in-law's hand, "I bought something for the old lady to eat for the New Year, take it back and give it to the child!" ”

"Look, you earners are rich and generous." The seventh aunt happily took it and asked, "You still bought it?" How expensive is that? I went to see the department store several times, but I didn't dare to buy it, it's so good! What, Zhenhua's daughter-in-law, can you let us take a look? Let me see what color you bought? ”

Lin Tong smiled heartily: "What's wrong with that, look at it!" As he spoke, he opened the bag and took out two pieces of tweed, and even the old man who was driving the car glanced back, "Old Xu Tou is lucky!" ”

The sister-in-law's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that there was gray inside, she pointed to the bag and asked, "What else is here?" Also bought for your in-laws? ”

Lin Tong smiled: "This, I specially brought it back to my mother-in-law, Lao Maozi's coat." This one, nearly 200 yuan, cost my family Zhenhua's salary for several months! ”

Lin Tong took out the coat and showed it to the two, the old Maozi coat is still called a rare thing, thick and windy, and the style looks very good now, this one also has a fur collar of the same color, and the eyes of several people who look at it are shining, and they can't put it down, "This is really good, it's really thick, it must be quite warm." Another said, "Isn't this expensive?" Your mother-in-law is a good life! ”

Lin Tong smiled reservedly: "It's okay, less than two hundred yuan." ”

"Less than two hundred? This one piece of clothing? ”
