On the day he left, Xu Laosan went to pick up the second elder early in the morning, and the chickens in the family were entrusted to Xiumei's sister-in-law, and the house was also taken care of by the big guy.

The village party secretary said to the two: "Anyway, you will go for a few months, hurry up!" ”

The old lady's eyes were a little gloomy, and no one knew what she was thinking?

When the person received the third child's house, Li Yubo looked at the meat and fish that the sister-in-law had bought before, his face was full of smiles, and after putting everything away, he whispered to the third child, "Why is the old lady so picky, it's almost the New Year, not to mention killing two chickens for us to keep for the New Year." ”

Xu Laosan said helplessly: "Didn't my sister-in-law bring all the meat for you?" You've made a lot of money, are you staring at the old lady's chickens? Some of them are sold in the bazaar now, so why don't you buy a few? ”

Li Yubo muttered quietly, "Can that be the same?" That's the old lady's mind. She paused and muttered, "Besides, that meat was given to us by my sister-in-law, and it was for the food of several children." ”

Xu Laosan glanced at his daughter-in-law, the old lady didn't even say that she would kill one and take it to Shencheng for the New Year, are you still thinking about this chicken? As for the meal money, in addition to the meat, didn't my sister-in-law give you twenty yuan?

Li Yubo was a little frustrated by him, "Why didn't the sister-in-law directly give the money to the second daughter-in-law, isn't it because she is reluctant to cook food for the child after taking the money?" I took the money, but I won't be greedy for every penny of this money with my conscience. ”

This is true, she just wants her children to eat a few good meals. Besides, you can't be paid to find someone to cook?

Thinking of this, she glared back again.

Xu Laosan said in a low voice: "You don't say a few words, be careful to let your sister-in-law hear." ”

Li Yubo pursed her lips, and heard the old lady call her: "Come here, I'll say a few words to you." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the house and talked for a long time, Li Yubo was a little top-heavy, his feet were fluttering, thinking about the old lady's words, he was nervous, excited and reluctant......

Xu Laosan glanced at her strangely: "What's wrong with you, what did our mother tell you?" ”

"It's fine." Li Yubo calmed down, "It's not like you haven't eaten breakfast, hurry up and take a bite, it's time to go to the train station in a while." ”

set the day to go back, Lin Tong sent a telegram to Xu Zhenhua, asking Xiao Zhao to pick her up, not that she had to ask someone to pick her up, but that she didn't know where the military compound was?

When she went to the military compound that day, she still sat directly in the car, and she was already confused. With children and two elderly people, it was too troublesome to inquire about the road and then reverse.

And the second sister-in-law packed a lot of things for her, such as cabbage, radishes, potatoes, etc., as well as a lot of kitchen dishes, if she wasn't afraid that the pork on the train would not be able to put it away, she was ready to buy meat for her to take back.

That's it, Xiao Nian also carried a sack!

That dish takes up a lot of space, and it's heavy!

Lunch was eaten on the train, Lin Tong brought a few pancakes, the old lady took out the green onions and had to roll them to eat, she looked at the small salted fish and sea rice in her hand, these are all for the second old man to prepare pancakes to eat, but the old lady has to roll the green onions. "I don't eat that, this thing is so delicious!"

Lin Tong looked around and persuaded: "Mom, this green onion tastes delicious, if you are willing to eat it in the evening, let's roll the green onion again!" ”

"What's the taste, who doesn't eat this green onion, it's still too tasteful, let's burn the bun!" The old lady pouted back with a stiff erection.

Lin Tong looked at this stubborn old lady and stroked her forehead, she really didn't know how such a talkant old lady had tolerated her all her life.

Forget it, the people of this era are really not so particular about taking cars, and they don't see the smell of stinky salted eggs wafting the whole carriage, she can eat it if she likes it!

Lin Tong simply didn't care, eating pancakes by himself was salted fish, the fried crispy salted fish was very fragrant, she didn't like this bite very much, she thought it was delicious, the old man looked at the salted fish, "Eldest daughter-in-law, this is what you just bought?" Is it tasty? Give me one too. ”

"This is what my second sister-in-law sells in her shop. I thought it was too salty, so I soaked it in water and put it on the stove to dry, and then fried it in oil. Lin Tong looked at him and asked, "How is it?" Not too salty, right? Isn't it fragrant? ”

The old man nodded as he ate, "It's delicious." ”

The old lady saw that he was eating well, and felt that the old man would not make a face for her, and her face drooped, "You are not afraid of breaking your teeth." ”

Lin Tong didn't know why, looking at such an awkward old lady and wanting to laugh, she lowered her head, looked at Nini who was eating eggs, and asked her in a low voice, "Is it delicious?" ”

Nini had a bitter face, "Choking, it's not delicious." ”

Xiao Nian explained to the old lady: "Grandma, this fish is crispy, not hard at all, don't believe you taste it?" ”

The old lady said, "Don't taste it, who is rare about that thing." Just listening to Xiao Nini's words, she snorted, "Look at this kid who makes you get used to it, the eggs are not delicious." ”

Lin Tong's smile remained the same, there were so many people on the train, why did she have to save some face for the old lady? She touched Nini's head and smiled: "She is choking, when she eats porridge or milk at home, she eats deliciously!" ”

An uncle next to him smiled and said: "Old sister, your little granddaughter eats by herself, it's really good, my grandson is five years old, and he can't eat by himself!" You have to ask someone to feed you when you come back, or you won't eat it. ”

The old lady was a little proud: "This child is only two years old, and he can even use chopsticks, but he is smart!" ”

The old lady doesn't like Xu Zhenhua, and she is not even proud of this family. But this does not prevent her from getting satisfaction from this big family.

With a topic, the old lady and the old man began to chat, and the old man occasionally interjected when he listened, and when he was about to get out of the car, the old lady asked Lin Tong to write an address to the old man, "Let Uncle Duan go to play with us when the time comes." ”

Old man Duan is a retired railway worker, he is very easy-going, and he is quite agreeable to the second old man along the way, but he does not echo the bad words of the old lady, Lin Tong has a good impression of him.

But this address, she made a difficulty, "Uncle, it's not that I don't write it to you, my family lives in the military compound, and I also came back for the first time, I really don't know the specific address." Or do you leave your address? Let my dad go to you? ”

The old lady thought that she didn't want to stay, so her face was a little pale, but Uncle Duan smiled and said, "You live in the military compound?" I know this place, it's not too far from my house, and it's only seven or eight stops away by car! ”

The corners of Lin Tong's mouth twitched, seven or eight stations are not far away?

She took out a pen and paper, asked the old man to write down the address, and carefully put it away, "When we settle down, I will take my parents to see you grow old." ”

Uncle Duan saw that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not too good, but the little daughter-in-law spoke softly, and she had a good impression of her, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, you are welcome to come and play." ”

When he got out of the car, Lin Tong said, "Uncle, do you bring a lot of things?" The child's father is here to pick us up, and will he pick you up for a while? ”

"No, no, I don't have a lot of things, just this small bag, no need to carry it." Uncle Duan got out of the car, saw a little soldier get on the carriage, guessed that he was here to pick up the station, and walked towards the station with a smile.

Xiao Zhao picked everyone up and got into the car and went straight to the compound.

Although the old lady listened to Xiao Zhao's explanation and knew that Xu Zhenhua had gone down to the army, so she couldn't come to pick them up, but she was still unhappy. Feel that the son does not value them.

Xiao Zhao took the luggage and went upstairs and opened the door, "Yesterday, everything was transported over, and some jars and jars were broken, so I asked them to throw them away." I haven't bothered to pack these things up after they were delivered. ”

Lin Tong waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll clean it up slowly in a while." ”

Everything has been shipped, pots and pans are all there, and cooking is no problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Tong asked him, "Where is there a store here?" And the grain store? "There was food in the car, but there was no soybean oil, soy sauce and other liquids and all kinds of spices.

Xiao Zhao said: "I bought all those days ago, and now I can cook." I'll tell my sister-in-law where the store and the grain store are later. ”

Lin Tong heard that everything was all in order, "Thank you so much, Xiao Zhao, you thought so thoughtfully, I will give you back how much money you used." ”

Xiao Zhao waved his hand, and his face was a little red from her praise, "How did I think of this, it was all told to me by the deputy division commander, and he also gave me the money, and there is still a lot left!" ”

Lin Tong thanked him sincerely: "Then thank you too, help run around, these trivial things don't look big, but they are very troublesome, I've been busy with you these days!" ”

Although he acted on orders, he was so respected and thanked for being so respected, Xiao Zhao was still very moved in his heart.

After Xiao Zhao left, Lin Tong asked Xiao Nian to take his sister into the house to sleep. She pointed to the south room and said to the second elder: "I've been sitting in the car for several hours, are you tired?" You go lie down and rest, and I'll tidy up this living room first. ”

The old man wanted to ask your mother to help you, but the old lady had already entered the house, so he thought about it and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Lin Tong said: "You rest first, and I'll call you later." ”

I don't know where Xu Zhenhua sent most of the furniture, but the TV and washing machine were carried, the bed and large wardrobe were placed in the empty room, and the desk was placed in his bedroom on the south side.

Lin Tong took a look around, and then began to close the house. She first dismantled all the newly shipped bedding, and there was no water pipe, so she used a basin to catch water and put it into the washing machine, basin by basin, and when the water was enough, she began to wash clothes. The sound of a humming washing machine was ringing in the room.

The old lady lay in the house and muttered, "How can people sleep so loudly?" ”

The old man persuaded her: "Since you have decided to live here, don't worry so much, offend your daughter-in-law, what is the boss doing with the little money he earns?" ”

The old lady snorted: "I'm annoyed when I look at them, if it weren't for ...... Why do you think I'm too rare to live in? ”

Lin Tong twisted into the washing machine and began to clean up those messy items, and put them in the same categories.

Xiao Nian played with Nini in the house for a while, told her a story, and saw that she was asleep, so he closed the door and came out to help her do it together.

Lin Tong looked at her with a smile, "My son is really capable." ”
