Chapter 8 Xu Nian
In her impression, Xu Nian was thin and small, but when she really saw it at this moment, she was still surprised, the five-year-old child was too young, and he looked like he was three years old.
In her previous life, she had a friend, and the child in the family was five years old, and he was close to one meter two in height, but this Xu Nian in front of her, thin and small, just cried loudly, and his voice was like a cat meow, weak, which made people feel very distressed.
Xu Laosan shouted in embarrassment, "Lin ...... Big, sister-in-law, I'll take it to our mother! He didn't want this kid to disturb the good things of the eldest brother, you must know that their family can all count on the eldest brother's salary!
Xu Nian also stretched out his hand, and his small body struggled towards Lin Tong, "I want an aunt, an aunt!" There were still tears of grievance on his face, the little black hand rubbed his eyes, and the little face turned into a little flower face.
Lin Tong's eyes were very resolute, "Give it to me, it just so happens that your eldest brother also wants to talk to Xiao Nian." ”
When Xu Laosan heard her mention her eldest brother, he handed the child to her.
Lin Tong was holding the child, Xu Nian's Xiaohua still had tears on her face, and cried to her aggrievedly: "Auntie, Xiaonian is hungry." As he spoke, he put a dirty finger in his mouth.
Lin Tong hurriedly took his fingers off for him, gently wiped his tears for him, and coaxed him: "Xiao Nian, don't eat your fingers, your fingers are dirty, and you will have a stomachache if you eat them." ”
The voice is gentle, which makes people feel very comfortable listening to it.
She said and looked at the Xu brothers, "Is there anything to eat?" The boy was hungry. ”
Xu Lao Er was wearing a torn cotton jacket, the cotton on the sleeves was exposed, he put his hands in the sleeves of the jacket, one leg couldn't stop shaking, rolled his eyes, and got rid of a scoundrel on TV, "This is a young master, it didn't taste good when he ate, and now he wants to eat it again." Our family is not a rich man, so how can we still eat after dinner. ”
The yin and yang weird voice and expression made Lin Tong's face not look good.
The child is so young and hasn't eaten, shouldn't the family leave some food?
But she knew that in the Xu family, Mrs. Xu's words were holy decrees, and she had to ask the old lady if she had anything to eat.
Lin Tong didn't know that for the poor rural areas, no one would leave food for them if they didn't eat, and they would be hungry if they didn't eat. Children do this how they pull it a few times. Unlike the era in which she lived, the children did not eat, and the parents chased after them with rice bowls to eat, one by one like a little emperor.
Xu Nian is in the Xu family, which is a special case.
Xu Zhenhua is in the army, it is impossible to take care of his son, Mrs. Xu is the eldest parent, and she has a lot of things to do at home and abroad, so she will not take care of her children so carefully. And Xu Lao'er and Xu's third wife, each family has two or three children, and their own children can't take care of it, and it is impossible to put their energy on Xu Nian.
In the countryside, the children are all free-range, Xu Nian is born prematurely, the body is naturally not as strong as other children, and the care is not careful.
He has a personality that follows his mother, he is timid and does not like to talk, and after being ignored for a long time, he is a little timid and introverted. Thanks to Lin Tong's original owner, in order to have a good relationship with the Xu family, he played with him and took care of him everywhere, otherwise, Xu Nian's personality would be more withdrawn, and he couldn't pull it if he wanted to.
"I'm going to ask...... Mom, see if there's any food? Lin Tong hesitated, but still called out the "Mom".
Before she could walk to the door of the old lady's house with the child in her arms, the old lady pushed the door and came out.
Naturally, she also heard the child's cry, her hands were clasped in her sleeves, and her eyelids drooped, "How can you make a child cry like this!" How do you be a child's mother? ”
The voice was cold, and he scolded her indiscriminately, and he didn't have the enthusiasm he had before, which made Lin Tong surprised.
"I don't know in the room, Xiao Nian is hungry." Although Lin Tong was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything, just explained matter-of-factly, but he was very unhappy for the original owner, for such a family, put his life into it, is it really worth it?
He looked into the room again, "Mom, what about my mother and my second sister-in-law?" ”
"The family has gone, and the matter between you and Zhenhua is over, why don't you leave?" The old lady gave her a hard erection.
Lin Tong felt even more strange in her heart, she didn't change her face so quickly, it was only a while, and the old lady's attitude towards her completely changed.
In memory, the old lady is not very kind, but she is not cold to Lin Tong.
Could it be that because she is now her daughter-in-law and thinks that she is her own family, this person's face has changed?
Lin Tong didn't understand the old lady's thoughts.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't continue to embarrass her, "This child is like this, it won't be good when he eats for a while, I asked your brother and sister to leave him a sweet potato and serve it to him!" In the future, you have to take good care of him, and bring him these bad problems, you see that your second and third families are all rare people who can eat and build, and have long tiger heads and tiger brains. ”
She sighed, "I also blame me, the family can't take care of it, Xiao Nian was born prematurely, and this body is weaker, alas, you will take care of it in the future, I hope I can grow strong and strong, so that I can also be worthy of his dead mother!" ”
Lin Tong didn't have any displeasure when she heard her mention Xu Nian's own mother, but just said "good".
She now has the memory of the original owner of this child, feels very kind, and has her own pity for the child, and she has no consciousness of being a stepmother.
Seeing her expression as usual, the old lady's voice softened a lot, "This little man has a small belly, so let's eat a piece of sweet potato, stew cabbage at night, and roll out some white noodles for him to eat when the time comes." ”
White noodles are also a good thing in the Xu family, even Xu Mingxi, the head of the family, can't eat it often.
The sound of "grunt" sounded, Lin Tong was speechless, it turned out that Xu Lao Er heard the white noodles, and his stomach was grumbling.
Xu Lao Er rubbed the corner of his mouth with the palm root, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and wanted to say something, but after glancing at Xu Zhenhua, who didn't know when he was standing at the door, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to squeak.
Xu Zhenhua opened his eyes as early as when his son was crying and banging on the door, and when he saw Lin Tong's concern for his son's non-fakeness, he completely thought about it.
To say how strong the father-son affection he has for this son whom he has only met once at birth is nonsense.
After so many years, when he saw this child again, he felt very sorry for his son, seeing that he was weak and small.
But he has been in the army all the year round, and he has been on the battlefield before, and he has just come down from the battlefield not long ago, and it is impossible to take care of the child.
Since my son and Lin Tong get along so well, so be it! With her taking care of him, he can go back with confidence.
