Chapter 25: Little Pepper
Xu Zhenhua didn't want the family to disturb others, if it was just him, the two of them would have a meal and a glass of wine outside, but with Lin Tong and his son, he wouldn't have that thought.
He didn't even want to introduce Lin Tong to Xu Shengli.
It was Xu Shengli who insisted on coming with him because he wanted to see this younger brother and sister with "extraordinary means and deep scheming".
"That's okay, you won't leave anyway, I'll go to your house for the New Year, and we'll talk again." There have been a lot of things in the former institute this year, and Xu Shengli is not polite to him.
As soon as Xu Shengli left, Li Yubo also arrived with a few children.
Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao San went to Daji to sell chickens, and Li Yubo was worried about buying cloth and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. Originally, she didn't want to take care of the children, but Xu Lao Er was afraid that she would spend more money on her own family, so she let her two daughters follow.
Li Yubo had no choice but to bring all four children with him.
Lin Tong paid the money and came back with the fabric, and went to pick up the freshly cut clothes, but as soon as he came back, he was blocked by Li Yubo, "Sister-in-law, you bought so much fabric!" Her tone was also a little pantothenic, "It seems that our mother has given you a lot of money!" ”
She didn't believe that her eldest brother paid for it herself!
Lin Tong smiled: "I don't know this, our mother didn't give you money, why don't you ask her?" ”
Li Yubo's face froze, this answer was really unexpected.
You either admit it or deny it, let her ask, she doesn't have the guts, the old lady said that it was the boss's own money, and she still asked if it was not looking for scolding!
It seems that the eldest daughter-in-law is not a good stubble.
Li Yubo said with a smile: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, even if our mother gave it, we can't say anything!" ”
You have to make her admit it, right?
"Yes, I don't know if this money is not, but I think it's okay, even if our mother gives it, it should be, who let Zhenhua mail dozens of dollars home every month! How much can Xiao Nian eat in a year? Plus filial piety to our mother and father, 100 yuan a year is enough. Yubo, you say yes! "It's far from the soft knives in the company that kill people and don't see blood, I can't fight those green tea and I can't fight you?
Lin Tong smiled very fakely, she was already very polite, she didn't directly say that your family is supported by this salary, what face do you have to compare with this?
But she didn't say this, but the meaning came out, Li Yubo's face was dark, but after glancing at the eldest brother who frowned and didn't speak, she still wisely stopped her mouth.
It's really different if you don't get in touch, this woman has been arrogant for only one day since she got married, what's the big deal, no matter how good she is, she doesn't have to look at the old lady's eyes to live, and she has the ability to follow the army!
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I won't talk to you first, I'll go and pull the cloth for the child first!" As she spoke, she turned around and left, looking at her posture, as if there was a dog behind her.
Lin Tong's face darkened when she thought of this, she seemed to have scolded herself just now.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Zhenhua looking at herself thoughtfully, she deliberately touched her little face, tilted her head and asked, "What are you doing?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”
Xu Zhenhua smiled, "It's nothing, I'm going to buy two bottles of wine," he glanced at his son, "After buying wine, I'll take Xiao Nian to his grandfather's house to have a look, you can wait for us here in a while!" ”
He was actually a little surprised in his heart, knowing that she would not be so docile on the surface, but he didn't expect that this girl was still a little pepper, looking docile and harmless, but not at all.
However, what she said just now ...... Why does it sound so painful!
Lin Tong was stunned, "Grandpa Xiaonian's house is in the town?" I've never heard of it! ”
Xu Zhenhua said lightly: "After Xiao Nian's mother is gone, the two families don't move around much. ”
Lin Tong suddenly realized, no wonder, she has been in contact with the Xu family for two years, and she has never heard of Xu Nian's relatives coming to see him.
She really thinks that Xu Nian is quite pitiful, her father is not around, only her grandparents don't take good care of him, and she doesn't care about him if she has her grandfather's family.
Xu Zhenhua bought two bottles of liquor, and went to Daji to find Xu Laosan, and brought a chicken from there, the brothers were very reluctant, but they didn't dare to offend the eldest brother, so they had to watch him take the live chicken away.
"You can go to the market and go around, and these few dollars will be given to you." Saying that, he handed her five yuan, "If you've had enough, just wait for me at this supply and marketing cooperative!" Xu Zhenhua commanded. Xiao Nian's grandfather's house is in the west of the town, and if it is fast, we will be back in more than half an hour. If it's slow, it's only an hour. ”
Lin Tong wanted to take the opportunity to go shopping, so he simply said generously: "It's so easy for you to go once, half an hour is too short, let's make an appointment to meet here in an hour!" ”
The corners of Xu Zhenhua's eyes twitched, what did her generous expression mean?
He was embarrassed to say that the two families had fallen out, and it was hard to say if he could beat him out when he went to someone's house.
Xu Zhenhua is really a qualified soldier and a qualified grassroots commander in the army, but in life, he is not a very shrewd person.
may be because they are all relatives, he was young at that time, and he never speculated on people's hearts on malice, but life always gave him a heavy blow, which made him gradually disappointed in the so-called relatives and family affection, and also caused him to continue to increase the estrangement between him and his family.
Lin Tong waved his hand to Xu Nian, now it is the third pole of the day, and the big set is even more crowded, Lin Tong thought of the scene of the market during the Chinese New Year decades later, it is also like this, crowded with people.
She sighed slightly, she was afraid that she would never be able to go back.
Trying to wear it out of the big set, the post and telecommunications office in front of her made her heart pound.
She can no longer be Lin Sinian in her previous life, but she can write letters to her home, re-acquaint herself with her parents in the form of pen pals, and go to them again when she has the conditions in the future.
Lin Tong used to hear that there were pen pals in vogue for a few years, but she couldn't remember when, she didn't know at all, and she made pen pals in the early to mid-90s.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she rushed into the small bungalow.
She had the five yuan Xu Zhenhua had just given her in her hand, bought envelopes and stamps, and then remembered that she didn't have paper, "Comrade, can you give me a piece of paper, I forgot to bring paper." ”
This embarrassment, you can forget to bring the paper, who in this era does not write a good letter at home and mail it, and it is directly thrown into the mailbox at the door.
"There is no paper, there is a supply and marketing cooperatives five hundred meters away, you can go there to buy it." The salesman looked at her several times, is this dress sure is not here to punish her? However, this comrade did not shake his face on the spot, but pointed to the other side of the big set and said.
Well, if people don't give it, Lin Tong can't use it.
She squeezed through the big set with great difficulty, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a large notebook for middle school students, returned to the post office, and spoke again in the contempt of the salesman: "Comrade, can you borrow me a pen to use?" ”
