Chapter 31: Restlessness
Westinghouse is where Xu's family lives.
Although he didn't say it directly, that expression was what it meant, Li Yubo was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Xu Laosan, "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" Are you trying to say, let's not stay in your house? ”
"I didn't say that! If you don't want to stay, don't fold willows on me. Xu Lao Er still looked like he was underwhelmed, "Besides, I just said that, look at your daughter-in-law, that guy is eager to eat me." You say it's okay for me to marry a little daughter-in-law, you ask the third child, does he think so in his heart? It's all men, who doesn't know who! ”
Xu Lao'er offended three people with one sentence, and now he stabbed the hornet's nest, Xu Laosan and his daughter-in-law were unwilling, even Wang Guihua also blackened his face and ignored him.
There was a quarrel in the West House, of course, they still had this scruples, but they didn't start the quarrel.
The old lady was wiping the kang with a rag, and she didn't care when she heard the movement of the Westinghouse.
The old lady is also a clean person in the countryside, and she has to wipe the kang every time she sleeps before making the futon.
Xu Mingxi, who had been silent, moved and made way for her, "What the eldest daughter-in-law said, in fact, it is not impossible to consider. ”
The old lady glared at him, "What are you thinking about?" Have you forgotten all those years of suffering? Who knows if there will be any changes to this policy? What if you arrest people again? ”
Xu Mingxi didn't squeak anymore, what happened in those years really made him feel palpitations.
The old lady's tone eased, "Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law thinks too simply, you don't know, it's not so easy, such a long way, how to transport this pot and bowl there?" There are people everywhere in the big set, where are they placed? It's been a few days since the beginning of the year, so you can't prepare things for the stall? You can sell it for a few bucks in a few days! Now that life is not good, who wants to spend money on food? ”
"What's more, our family is different now from the past, the boss is a cadre, we are the cadre's father, our family is the cadre's home, if it really has to be like the past, then we must not be poked in the back!"
Xu Mingxi chirped, "Look at what you said, isn't the boss a company commander?" You are beautiful, also, the cadre's father and mother, the cadre's home? ”
Xu Mu threw the rag, "What's the matter, what am I talking about?" Is the boss a cadre? Are we his parents? Is this home his? ”
If you want to talk about it, Xu Mingxi, who doesn't like to talk, can't stand up to an old lady.
Xu Mingxi provoked the fire and was not responsible for extinguishing the fire, closed his mouth and eyes, and sat with his hands on his shoulders as if he was asleep.
Mother Xu looked at the fire in her heart, "Look at your little bit of talent!" On the side, I'm going to spread the quilt. ”
Mother Xu laid out the quilt, and when she heard that the Westinghouse was still arguing, she pulled her shoes and stepped on the upper of her shoes and scolded: "What's the noise one by one at night, I think the good days are too long?" If it's too long, get out, as if you're rare. ”
One sentence stopped everyone scolding, and the old lady pointed to the second and third children, "Hurry up and go to sleep in that house, if you don't do anything every day, you will know what is in the nest!" ”
When the old lady scolds like this, no one dares to speak up, which indicates that she is in a bad mood.
The two sons went to the house in a gloomy manner, and Xu Laoer, who was walking behind, was picked up by her, "You, go wash your stinky feet, the bedding in that house stinks for you." ”
Xu Lao Er didn't dare to say that his mother was not, and he itched his teeth that Lin Tong hated, if she hadn't been so pampered, the old lady would have forced him to wash his feet when she looked at him.
……
Lin Tong's cheeks were slightly red with a smile, sweat appeared on her forehead, she simply took off her cotton jacket, revealing a sleeveless vest of the later aunt, which was still made of flower cloth by herself.
Lin Tong took out the newly bought towel, threw it wet and wiped Xu Nian's face, washed his feet, and stuffed him into the hot quilt. "It's dark, Xiao Nian has to sleep, we have to send my dad tomorrow morning!"
Xu Nian muttered in a low voice, "Dad, don't go." I want to play with my mom and dad", the child was also tired from going to town that day, and fell asleep after chattering.
Lin Tong took out a piece of cloth, scooped some cold water from the water tank, and went to the cauldron to scoop some hot water together, muttering in his heart, "I just wanted to write a letter, but I forgot to go to the town bath to take a bath." ”
"What, Xu Zhenhua, you go to his grandmother's house for a while, I want to wash it." She looked at him calmly, not knowing that her ears had quietly turned red.
Xu Zhenhua looked at her a little sluggishly, as if he didn't expect her to say such a direct word, "Huh? Yes! Okay, I'll go! ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the house, and his back looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Tong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be happy, she didn't blush, this man blushed first.
She took off her clothes, poured the mixed wet water directly on the cloth, and then wiped her body briefly, and put on the same floral cloth as the vest, which had faded a little.
Wash the cloth head, wash the socks and hang them on the rope hanging on the warm wall, and hang Xiao Nian's cotton jacket as well, so that it will be warm when you wear it tomorrow morning.
Lin Tong lay down in cotton clothes last night, and the kang was not so hot at night, she wore a lot, and she didn't even cover the quilt, and she didn't put on a quilt until it was a little cold in the second half of the night.
It's really not comfortable to wear so much and so thick when you go to bed.
She hesitated for a moment, but still got into the quilt wearing only a vest and big pants, but her heart was pounding violently, and her nervous palms were sweating.
Will Xu Zhenhua think she is seducing him?
Lin Tong herself doesn't know, does she mean this in her heart?
She lay down for a while Xu Zhenhua didn't come back, her excitement slowly calmed down, she went to the town for thirty or forty miles this day, she was indeed tired, and after a while, she made a slight snoring sound.
She didn't know that Xu Zhenhua went out of this house and did not go to the old lady's house, but directly lit a cigarette, leaned on the board shed, and smoked three cigarettes in a row. If someone sees him at the moment, they will know that under his seemingly calm appearance, a heart is not at peace.
After a few cigarettes went down, the beautiful thoughts in his mind that were blown by the cold wind faded, and then he pushed the door in.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, the two heads on the kang, one large and one small, were exposed outside the bed, which made his heart a little restless all the time, and instantly had a trace of warmth.
Xu Zhenhua stood on the ground and stared at the woman's face motionlessly, his skin was slightly rough, but he looked vibrant......
In all fairness, removing the improper means she used to get this marriage, and removing the fact that this is the woman that the old lady forced on him, Lin Tong is actually still a good woman......
