Chapter 12: Vigilance
Xu Zhenhua pricked up his eyes, what kind of broken child is this, does he say this about his father's son?
Before he could say anything, Xu Nian buried his head in Lin Tong's arms in fright, hugged her tightly and cried: "Dad is so fierce, woo woo woo ......"
Lin Tong couldn't cry or laugh, this kid was timid and dared to provoke, "Don't be afraid, Dad likes Xiao Nian, and he won't be fierce." Xu Zhenhua said angrily: "Look at you, you are such a big person, what are you doing to scare the children?" ”
She was full of smiles, and there was a smile in her eyes, Xu Zhenhua was a little stunned for a while, but it was only a moment before he came back to his senses, and secretly vigilant in his heart, this woman was too scheming, but in just half an afternoon, he was not so bored with her.
"It's not about him, this kid is five years old, and he should know some rules. How can anyone say that about his father? Xu Zhenhua's face was faintly displeased.
Lin Tong lived in an open and free era, and the relationship between relatives was not as rigid as it is now, the two had different concepts, she wanted to refute two sentences, but Xu Zhenhua no longer looked at her, and instead stared at her son's little buttocks, her hands were a little itchy, and she wanted to slap it twice on it, let him talk nonsense, and let him cry if he was fine.
Lin Tong looked at him with a little unkind eyes, and hurriedly changed the topic, "I didn't find anything to eat, but my mother said to have dinner early." Lin Tong spread his hands and pouted. As soon as she came in, Xu Zhenhua saw her empty-handed, and knew that she hadn't found anything to eat, which is not unusual, life is so difficult now, is it strange that she can have food from time to time?
"With the sweet potato at the bottom just now, I'm not too hungry." Xu Zhenhua glanced at his son, "This kid can't be hungry after eating most of the sweet potatoes with such a small stomach." ”
"Mom shouted...... Well, Xiaohong's mother and Xiaozhu's mother are rolling noodles, and they will eat early for dinner today. Lin Tong felt that she couldn't call someone much older than herself as a younger brother and sister, so she simply changed it to whoever is the mother, but when she called it like this, she only felt strange in her heart, as if she had become an aunt who was dozens of years old.
"What are the second and third siblings called? I'll just call them by their names in the future, it feels weird. Lin Tong simply discussed with him.
Xu Zhenhua was a little surprised, the village will call his younger siblings or who is his mother, and there are very few names like this kind of relationship.
He told Lin Tong, "The second daughter-in-law is called Wang Guihua, who is the same age as me, and the third daughter-in-law is called Li Yubo, who seems to be twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, so you can call them by their names at your age." ”
Xu Zhenhua said, went to the stove kang to take a look, and added a few more firewood to the cauldron.
Lin Tong watched him work, his eyes were bright, such a man with vision, there were not many friends of the same age in her previous life.
"Hey, Xu Zhenhua," her voice was very good, and every time he called Xu Zhenhua, he had a strange feeling in his heart as if he was itching in his heart.
He didn't respond, and Lin Tong didn't care, "Xu Zhenhua," standing on the edge of the kang, holding Xu Nian, but her eyes were staring at the man, trying to find the topic, her voice was crisp and sweet, with Lin Sinian's unique coquettishness, "Look at Xiao Nian, she is much shorter than Xiao Zhu, can you grow up in the future?" ”
She muttered quietly, "You must grow up with you, but don't grow up with his uncles." ”
Xu Zhenhua is 1.8 meters tall, but Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao 3 are at most 1.7 meters.
It always feels good to be praised by others, and Xu Zhenhua's flat face has softened a little.
Lin Tong thought that life here was so difficult, and his nutrition couldn't keep up, and the hope of growing taller might not be too great.
She looked down at the patched flower cotton jacket on her body, and the black cloth cotton shoes that were about to be torn by her, and she sighed heavily in her heart, this place is too poor!
I used to hear my grandmother talk about how difficult her life was when she was young, and how difficult her mother's family was when she was a child, but what she said was heaven compared to the place where she lives now!
Fortunately, there is an eye-catching man in front of him, otherwise how would he live this life!
"Some children grow up late, some children grow early, and when I was young, I was thin, and I didn't get up until I was sixteen or seventeen." Xu Zhenhua was silent for a while and said.
Lin Tong doesn't understand this, but she often hears colleagues and friends who have children around her say that children need calcium supplements and the like, "You say, should we supplement calcium for Xiao Nian, people say that children lack calcium so they grow slowly." ”
Xu Zhenhua frowned, how could he know this parenting knowledge. "How do you make up for it?"
"I heard that pharmacies sell calcium tablets, or children eat more shrimp skin and drink more bones...... The last few words were almost silent, and he lowered his head, knowing that he had made a fool.
What are the conditions of this home, and where is it possible to eat what she said.
Xu Zhenhua heard her say that eating shrimp skin and drinking bone broth to supplement calcium, the first feeling was nonsense, and the second was that she was afraid that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
Not to mention that the first feeling between people is very important, because of prejudice in his heart, Xu Zhenhua's impression of her is difficult to change for a while.
However, he is not an unreasonable person, seeing that she was depressed, he thought that people were also good for his son, and said: "Otherwise, I'll go to the town tomorrow to see if there are any calcium tablets for sale?" ”
It's impossible to sell this kind of thing in the town, bone broth, it's not what they eat, and it's possible to go back once in a while.
Besides, Xu Zhenhua really hasn't heard of eating these to supplement calcium or anything like that.
In fact, he wanted to go to the town to do something, and he didn't go to the town for the past few days when he came back, and it happened to be a scorching stew tomorrow.
Lin Tong nodded hurriedly when he heard this, "I'll go to town with you tomorrow, or you don't know what to buy?" ”
Poor girl, I don't know that this pharmacy only sells one of the most common calcium tablets, and this is not a few decades later, there are all kinds of calcium supplements on the market.
Xu Nian has been playing by himself in his mother's arms, which will make his ears feel good, "I'm going too." Saying that, his mouth was flattened, and he said with some grievances: "The third uncle brought Xiaozhu, but I didn't have it." ”
Xu Zhenhua frowned slightly, the town is about twenty miles away from here, and it will take several hours to walk, and it is possible for the third child to take his son.
But let him take these two people, he can't go fast, it's troublesome to think about.
Moreover, if he wants to go to the town, he has to go to Xu Nian's grandfather's house, and he has found a stepmother for the child, so he has to tell them.
That family, he has a headache when he thinks about it.
"No need, I'll go alone faster, take the two of you with me, it's dark when I come back, and the road is not easy to walk, you better stay at home!"
It's not that Xu Zhenhua doesn't want to go out with her, there are still a lot of his classmates in the town!
He agreed to this marriage, but taking her out to meet people was another matter.
