The seventh aunt's voice was much sharper, pinching the coat and screaming, "Nearly two hundred yuan for a piece of clothing?" Zhenhua's daughter-in-law, you are really willing. "It's really jealous, why doesn't she have such a promising son and such a generous daughter-in-law?

Lin Tong said with a smile: "My mother-in-law, my own mother who raised Zhenhua, what is there to be reluctant to?!" ”

As soon as she entered the village, the seventh aunt and the sister-in-law worked hard to promote her, but when she came home, she followed several old ladies in, all wanting to see what the fuchsia tweed and the old Maozi coat looked like?

The old lady had a faint expression on her face, but the joy and pride in her eyes betrayed her mood at the moment, Lin Tong was also very happy to see it, it seems that today's scene was not in vain.

Look, these people praised her as a flower, flattered her around the old lady, praised her for raising a good son, filial piety to her son, and the daughter-in-law she married was also a filial daughter-in-law......

Lin Tong listened to these people's chatter and straightforward praise, and felt that he was embarrassed to listen to it, so he ran to Xiumei's sister-in-law's house, "Sister-in-law, I did well today!" "What's the matter, I've seen a lot of people? Praise it, right? Isn't the old lady happy? ”

Lin Tong pursed his lips, "Hey, I sent so many fabrics and good things before, and they didn't add up to less than this, but they didn't get as much attention as they do today." ”

Returning from Xiumei's sister-in-law's house, the old lady was already chopping dumpling filling, this is the first time to have such treatment, the old lady used to command, and she was the one who did the work, did this coat and fabric have such great power? Lin Tong felt that it might really be Xiumei's sister-in-law who said it, face!

Hey, is this an image project?

Xiumei's sister-in-law said that those old ladies sat together to show off, but there was no one like her who bought coats and fabrics for the old lady, and everyone's living conditions were not as good as her, at most a piece of blue cloth made a gown.

It seems that the old lady today is quite satisfied.

The old lady is not only satisfied with the things, but also the envious words of those old ladies: "I heard that your son is going to take you to Shencheng to enjoy happiness", "You are really lucky, not to mention our village, even the town is the first one", "I just said, Zhenhua, this child has been looking good since he was a child, and the key is to be filial" and so on.

This made her feel more embarrassed.

Being able to go to Shencheng is something that the old ladies in those villages dare not think about in their lives, but she wants to live, and if she can't think of coming back, she can't come back......

Can the old lady not be satisfied?

Lin Tong saw that the old lady was happy, so she asked her what she needed for the New Year, and when she had time in these days before the year, she went to buy it back, and then it was time to steam the pork and cook the elbow croquettes and steamed steamed buns.

"Don't bother, I think about it, wait a few days, let's go, go to your place for the New Year! I heard that the Chinese New Year in the city is lively, and I also went to see it, and I have never been to such a big city in my life. ”

Lin Tong was speechless, why is this face done, why do you want to go? The point is that you can go as soon as you go, and this time is still early.

Is Xiumei's sister-in-law's idea reliable?

Lin Tong said a few words in his heart and discussed with the second elder: "There is no place at home, there are so many people to live, let's go back after the New Year," she paused and continued: "Besides, Zhenhua over there has just been transferred, and there is nothing yet, and I have to buy it now, this is about to be the New Year, and it is not convenient, unlike at home, where there is everything." You don't know, I don't even have soy sauce and salt there. ”

The old lady said stubbornly: "Let's go a year ago, and we can stay for a few more days." If there is anything missing, let's buy it again. ”

Lin Tong was very annoyed, the old lady was really generous, but what did the phrase "stay longer" mean? Don't insist on staying in Shencheng? They said that they were moved, and they would stay for a few months and come back?

She said tentatively: "Let's go again after the New Year, how can we live for two months!" ”

The old lady snorted and looked at her, her face gloomy, "What's the matter, don't you want me to go to your house for the New Year?" I don't think I've been to your house for a single New Year in all these years, right? That's it? Don't worry, I don't need you to provide for me, I'll come back when I've lived enough. ”

Although this is not good, Lin Tong really can't push it anymore, but she has only been here for a few days and has to toss back, and her in-laws are with her, and her mother can't go to her house again anyway, how uncomfortable she thinks.

"If you go to my house for the New Year, the second and third families, but you can't go, it's far inconvenient, it takes time and money on the way back, and second, I don't have a place to live at home. Mom, have you figured it out, aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with your third son and a few grandchildren? If you're in a hurry, we'll go back on the fifth day of junior high school, or on the fourth day of junior high school, and we'll leave after I leave my mother's house on the third ......."

Lin Tong's proposal is normal, how can anyone be in such a hurry to leave, but the old lady has never listened to people, she waved her hand, "We celebrate the New Year together every year, and I have a good time with your family this year." Moreover, I told your uncle's family that they would have nothing to help take care of the family. ”

It seems that this is a settled mind.

In that case, let's go, in the words of the old lady, and stay for a while.

"Then the day after tomorrow, I will go back to my second brother's house in a while, and I told them that I will celebrate the New Year at home, and I have to tell them about this sudden departure. There is also the second family, I still have to see a few children to go. ”

The old lady listened to her agreement, and her expression softened a little and said: "Then, you can go, you don't need to pick us up the day after tomorrow, your father and I can take the ox cart to the third child's house." ”

Lin Tong instructed and said: "You don't need to bring more things, it's not easy to take, I'll buy it for you if you don't have anything!" Seeing that she was leaving, the old man hesitated and said, "Otherwise, you just take your mother over, and I won't go." ”

The old lady said to him angrily: "Why do you look the same for a while, and you change the hexagram when you say it?" ”

Lin Tong made up her mind to send the two back in the spring, she used to think that if the old man didn't go, no one would care about the old lady, she would be more and more excessive, although the old man didn't talk much, but if the old lady made a big deal, the old man would also say a few words to her, so she wanted the two to go together, so as not to let her spill on the old lady alone.

But after thinking about it, in fact, the old man didn't go, maybe the old lady was more worried about coming back.

But this is the New Year, how can the two elders be separated? She asked tentatively, "Dad, why don't you want to go?" How about staying with my mom for a few days? This winter, you don't need to plant vegetables and clean up the garden. Besides, it's not like that the old couple who are not together for the New Year! ”

The old man sighed for a long time before saying, "There are still chickens to feed at home." ”

Lin Tong immediately said, "Didn't you ask my uncle's family to come over to help look at the house?" If it's too troublesome, I'll go and tell Xiumei's sister-in-law that I'll just let her come over and help feed her. ”

The old man was still silent, but his expression was clearly disagree.

One doesn't want to go, the other has to go, this is simply a pair of stubborn old men and stubborn old ladies.

The old lady was impatient, "Do you think that the eldest daughter-in-law knows the boss's life experience, and is afraid that she will not be comfortable living by herself?" ”

Lin Tong thought to himself, don't say this to me, just talk about it in private and persuade it, so that the old man will not be able to get off the stage.

The old man's face darkened, and he refused to admit it: "No. I'm not his own father, that's what raised him so big, he has to call me a dad, what am I afraid of? ”

"I think you are. The older you get, the more stubborn you become, he is not your biological son, you have raised him for so many years, he dares to say a "no"? You know why aren't you going? What are you afraid of? The old lady spoke as unpleasantly as ever.

Lin Tong frowned, seeing that the old man was stubborn and just didn't speak, he knew that it was indeed as the old lady said.

She persuaded softly: "Dad, what my mother said is really ugly, but what she said is also right, you don't have to worry about it, Zhenhua is your son, this will not change, what was it before, what it will be in the future." Why can't you go to your son's house for the New Year? ”

The old lady looked at her and said that her words were unpleasant, and she said them unpleasantly. Don't say anything about anyone. But the latter words are still like human words, so she doesn't care about her.

It may be that the old man wants to save face, so he wants a word from the old man. Sure enough, his brows stretched a little, and Lin Tong wanted to say more, a large group of people came in in a lot of noise outside, and the leader came in and laughed: "Old Xutou, I heard that you are going to live in Shencheng for a while?" Why don't you tell us? That's a good thing! ”

Well, it's only been a long time, and it has spread all over the village, and even the village party secretary has brought people over.

The old man hurriedly let people into the house and put on the kang, "This is not planned yet." ”

"If you have any plans, let you go, you can go, stay until the beginning of spring and come back, just pick up this vegetable garden, and the eldest family will be in Shencheng in the future, you have a place to send this vegetable planting, I heard that buying vegetables in the city is precious, your son and daughter-in-law are filial, and our old couple also have to plan for our son."

Lin Tong thought to himself, the village party secretary's words would not be taught by Xiumei's sister-in-law!

The old lady raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and was just about to speak, when an old man with his hands in his sleeves said with a smile: "What kind of vegetable garden, how good it is to go to the city to enjoy happiness!" ”

The old lady nodded, thinking that this was very much to her liking.

The village party secretary sneered and said loudly: "What do you know? Is the city so easy to live in? It's okay to live fresh for a while, but you have to be in front of an empty house every day, you can't raise chickens, you can't grow vegetables, and you don't have a yard for you to clean up, what do you think is a good thing? You have to die idle. Besides, if you enter the city, you will be considered a city person? The people in the city look at you as rural, they all look down on you, there is no one to talk to, there is no place to visit the door, you just think, it's okay to live for a few days that day, and you don't feel aggrieved if you live more? What's more, Zhenhua is a soldier, and he is arranged to live in a unified manner, and we don't dare to talk nonsense if we don't know the size of the house, just think about it, where I live, is it the family of Lao Duo who is a soldier? ”

The rest nodded.

The village party secretary squinted his eyes and said: "Zhenhua daughter-in-law, you live in the compound of the military region, and there are many chiefs living in it!" ”

Lin Tong smiled: "Yes." ”

"That Zhenhua is inside, is he a big official or a small official or an official who doesn't slip away?"

Lin Tong cooperated: "Don't slip away." ”
