Chapter 9: Stepmother
Xu's second daughter-in-law came over with a bowl, and there was a piece of red-skinned sweet potato in the bowl, and said a little flatteringly: "Sister-in-law, this is what our mother asked Xiao Nian to keep, hurry up and give it to him!" ”
Xu Lao Er glanced at his daughter-in-law gloomily, and scolded in his heart to please you? It's better to please the sister-in-law than the old lady! You must know that the money sent back by the eldest brother is all in the hands of the old lady!
looked at the two people in front of him again, one was young and beautiful, the other was dark and thin with a wrinkled face, and I didn't know that I thought it was Lin Tong's mother!
Compared with this new sister-in-law, this daughter-in-law is ugly and stupid, which is simply unappetizing.
"Thank you......" Lin Tong smiled and thanked and took the bowl, she had a good impression of Xu's second daughter-in-law, she looked very honest, but she looked a lot older than her man.
She took the sweet potato to Xu Nian, the child was hungry, so she took it and ate it in a big gulp, and the eating was similar to when Lin Tong ate the sweet potato just now.
Lin Tong hurriedly said: "Slow down, be careful not to choke, auntie go get some water for Xiao Nian to drink!" ”
"Second daughter-in-law, you go!" Without waiting for her to move, Mother Xu spoke, "Xiao Nian, in the future, my aunt will be your mother, call my mother!" ”
Lin Tong's face was a little hot, she hadn't been in love yet, so was this a stepmother?
It's not easy to be a stepmother, she was a little stunned in her heart, but when she saw Xiao Nian's poor little appearance, her heart softened, that's it, anyway, it's already done, don't think too much, just treat this child as her own brother.
Xu Nian grinned, the sweet potato that he hadn't swallowed in his mouth, and called out glutinously, "Mom!" ”
This "mother", Lin Tong's heart was hot, but his heart was surprisingly soft.
Holding Xu Nian's blushing face and gently responding, "Well, Xiao Nian is good," as soon as she looked up and saw Xu Zhenhua looking at her thoughtfully, she immediately became happy in her heart, pointing at him and coaxing Xu Nian, "Let's go and play with Dad, okay?" ”
Xu Nian glanced at Xu Zhenhua, he was not familiar with this father, and he was very scared of yelling this morning.
But with his mother there, he looked at Lin Tong, she gave the child an encouraging smile, Xu Nian was also a little bolder, nodded timidly, and stretched out the half-eaten sweet potato, "Give it to Dad!" ”
When Mother Xu saw this scene, she nodded with satisfaction and turned her head back to the house.
She insisted on letting her son marry Lin Tong, instead of marrying a teacher from other places, just to keep the two of them......
With Xu Nian, this son can send his salary back without complaint, the old Xu family now has such a person who eats public food and has a good income, she can't let her eldest son live his own life outside and ignore others.
With the help of their eldest son, their family can live without worry, better than the rest of the village.
Xu's second daughter-in-law came over with a bowl of water, Lin Tong thanked her again, and entered the house with a bowl in one hand and Xu Nian in the other.
"Come, let's drink saliva and eat slowly." Lin Tong naturally fed Xu Nian saliva, put him on the kang and sat down, and took off his shoes, "Xiao Nian, is it okay to call Dad to come over and play games with Xiao Nian?" ”
Xu Nian nodded, and looked at Xu Zhenhua timidly, "Dad, play!" ”
The voice was as small as a mosquito humming, Xu Zhenhua frowned slightly, approached and asked: "He is five years old, why is he so daring?" ”
Lin Tong thought to himself, you don't know if you're a father, how can I know!
"He's only seen you a few times! You, the father, don't know how to spend more time with the child, he is not familiar with you, of course he is afraid of you. Lin Tong pointed to his expressionless face and said with a smile: "Look at your face, don't talk about children, even if I see it, I'm a little stunned!" ”
Xu Zhenhua thought to himself, just these words to you, I also know how bold you are, and you are still stunned? Dare to speak to him like this, and say so much?
Lin Tong didn't think much about it, she felt that since the two were husband and wife, they couldn't be like this without progress!
Xu Zhenhua looks good, and he has seen more of the world outside, and it is understandable that he doesn't like Lin Tong.
How much more is this kind of calculated marriage?
The relationship between the two was originally unequal, and if she wanted to break this relationship, she had to work harder to make him accept herself imperceptibly.
It's a good choice to talk about children.
"Are you thirsty or not, I see that you have drunk a lot of wine, let me pour you a glass of water to drink!" Lin Tong used to watch his mother take care of his drunken father, and make him a bowl of honey to relieve his hangover, thinking that Xu Zhenhua seemed to have drunk a lot, so he kindly proposed that without honey, it is always okay to pour a glass of water.
Xu Zhenhua was a little embarrassed when he heard her say this, although he drank some wine, but it really didn't go much, he pretended to be like that just now, otherwise how could he be embarrassed to say those words?
"No, I'll just have a bowl with him." As he spoke, he took the bowl from Lin Tong's hand and drank half of the bowl.
At noon, he only drank wine at Zhang Lijun's house, and he didn't eat a few bites of food, so he simply snatched the sweet potato in Xu Nian's hand and ate it and handed it back to him, Xu Nian looked at him blankly, and then looked at the sweet potato in his hand that was only half left, and the water in the bowl was only a bottom.
The little mouth was holding back, the circles under his eyes were red, and he cried loudly, "Bad, badass, my sweet potato, water, my water-"
Xu Zhenhua's face darkened, but after eating a mouthful of sweet potatoes and drinking some water, this kid was unwilling, and his tears were too worthless, he cried for such a trivial matter, like a little girl, is this his son?
"Didn't you let me eat sweet potatoes?" Xu Zhenhua is so embarrassed, how did he know that his son was so small!
Lin Tong couldn't help but want to be happy when she saw his incompatible expression, but Xu Nian cried loudly, and she sneered, "Why are you still grabbing food with the child." ”
Xu Zhenhua thought to himself, I'll just take a bite, as for it?
Lin Tong couldn't help but smile and patiently coaxed the child, "Xiao Nian, this is Dad!" Didn't you just want to give the sweet potatoes to your father! Don't cry, Dad ate Xiao Nian's sweet potatoes when he was hungry, if Xiao Nian didn't eat enough, aunt ...... Well, mom is trying to find something to eat, don't cry, dad will think about Xiao Nian when he has delicious food, Xiao Nian can't be so scathing to Dad!. ”
Xu Zhenhua felt very embarrassed, and muttered again, "You kid, it's still not my son, I just ate a bite of sweet potato, look at your picking, I don't know who to follow!" Of course, he just muttered these words, and didn't dare to let Lin Tong hear them, otherwise, she would have laughed: just rush to say this, and this squeezing is also up to him.
Xu Nian put his head on Lin Tong's shoulder and cried with a flat mouth, "Milk eaters drink milk ......"
An inexplicable sentence, Lin Tong heard it clearly but didn't understand, "Xiao Nian, what did you say?" ”
