Chapter 163: Cleaning Up the New Yard (3)
"Lihong, these homespun cloths are really cheap, but cotton is expensive, so I didn't use cotton tickets, no wonder I made them all myself." Lin Lishan sighed.
Cheng Lihong laughed and glanced at her, "It must be a lot cheaper for you to buy cotton in summer, and it's winter, sister." You're still too expensive. People have been emptied by you, and they are probably in a hurry to find cotton. He ordered this cotton in the summer, and there was a quantity of it, and now who doesn't hurry up to grow grain to fill their stomachs?
A village is not enough to survive three 8-pound quilts. In the winter, I love to marry a daughter-in-law and enter the door for the New Year, and everyone in the village is the first to make up the number of the east and west, and then return it next year. The brothers and sisters in the city are also crowded on the same kang in winter. Many people don't have cotton to make cotton jackets, and the old cotton is added with straw, and you look at the trembling ones on the road, all of which are cotton jackets with straw. Believe it or not, there are not as many delicate quilts in the entire county as yours? ”
Lin Lishan nodded with a smile, "I'm in the army, and I've forgotten about it." Is there enough quilt in your house, go back to my place and bring two beds back, all of them are new, and Zhao Chuanguang took them in the morning. It's narrow, and it's just right for a bachelor and a little girl to sleep alone. ”
Cheng Hongli nodded again and again, gesturing with her eyebrows, "It's okay with my son, it's just that my daughter's quilt has been covered for three years, and it's not warm anymore, it's hard." In the winter, I burned the kang, and I always said that it was hot underneath and cold at the door, so I covered her with a military coat. I originally wanted to add new cotton this year and then replay it. In the past few years, Lao Zhao's relatives have to help with a difficult matter, and I don't dare to spend money on the two sons and a daughter in the family. ”
Lin Lishan looked at her sympathetically, "You and my second sister-in-law are like, her mother's family is still in the compound, her father and three brothers, her mother's two brothers and three sisters are in the countryside, his family is in the capital, or a big official, just look for them if you have something to do, the family is thin, my second sister-in-law and her mother have not worked yet, and she has 3 sons and two daughters.
My second sister-in-law fortunately went to the northwest, if she was in the capital, she would probably cry, and her relatives would look for her every time they came back. Our two families are in the compound, just a short distance away, and I heard my mother say that his family keeps coming from his hometown for a year, and sometimes they can't live in a big shop. My second sister-in-law didn't have more than three sets of her mother's clothes, and someone sent them when she did. Hehe, once my mother went to his house, just put down the military coat, went to the bathroom, came out to see, it's gone, I looked for a long time before I saw that it was already worn on the countryman's body, hehe, it's ridiculous to death. ”
Cheng Hongli laughed with joy, "Then your mother will dare to go in the future?" The burden of this family is too great, and I always have to find a way to solve it, and my life goes on like this, and my home doesn't feel like home. ”
"What's the solution, you drive people away when they come? I don't have a job for them, so I have to give money and things, right? Otherwise, the reputation will stink. My second sister-in-law and three brothers did not dare to go home, so they stayed in the unit and the daughter-in-law's dormitory for a long time. There are many such people in the compound, but they are not as excessive as them. ”
Cheng Hongli asked curiously, "What about your family?" There are no poor relatives who come to the door? ”
"My dad is an orphan, and my mom's family is not short of money, so I don't need my mom to help the village if I have the ability. My parents really don't have any poor relatives to come to the door. My eldest brother and brother Zheng went on a mission, and my sister-in-law is from the Women's Federation like you, and her mother's family is full of workers, so there is no need to find our family, and some also said that she handled it herself. The second brother and sister-in-law took the children to the northwest, except for me, there was only a little sister left, she found a soldier, her husband's family is not good, but the salary of the two is high, half of my brother-in-law's salary is handed over to her husband's family, she herself works in the military hospital enough for expenses, my mother subsidized a small yard, and it will save trouble. I, as you can see, is not a burden to be a coquettish brother with Zheng. My Jiaojiao doesn't want us to subsidize, we secretly prepare first. Hehe, you don't know how fun this child is, just frowning when you buy something, and saying seriously, Mom, I have it, I have it, you have it, you have to save it, you have to keep it low-key, don't buy large items. ”
Cheng Hongli looked at her enviously, "You are really blessed, your mother's family doesn't need you to worry, your husband's family is embarrassed to see you this time, and besides, there is a brother here, the daughter is sensible, and the son-in-law is excellent." It makes everyone want to bite you. ”
Lin Lishan glanced at her, "You don't have anything to envy, how good your old Zhao is to you, your two sons are also older, and you have Yuanyuan's pistachio, and you have a successful career, and you are not satisfied." ”
Cheng Hongli laughed when she heard this, "It's also blessed, we are all blessed, but I'm also worried, my daughter-in-law is not worried, look under my nose." It's just that when I see your Jiaojiao, I think of my girl, that heartless, I have to find something in the future. It's good for you, Jiaojiao and Xiao Wu grew up as childhood sweethearts, your Jiaojiao is also very good, and Xiao Wu didn't spend any flowers. I don't know what my girl is going to find in the future, I looked around and there was no suitable one, the child was suitable for the in-law's family, and the in-law's suitable child had no ability to protect his wife. You said that we will be simple, and we don't need to worry about our parents if we look at the right people, and the soldiers are real. I want to introduce her to the military, but I think it's not easy to be a military wife. ”
"Fate is destined, don't worry about Yuanyuan's such a good child, the child is still young, you are staring at the side. There is always the appearance of the discerning jade, but don't get married and have children so early. ”
Cheng Hongli looked outside, it was almost there, "It makes sense, just wait for fate to fall from the sky." It is convenient to have a car, it will arrive all at once, and it will not blow cold wind. ”
"Don't worry, I'll buy some steamed buns and steamed buns at the restaurant first, and bring them back to the little girl." After Lin Lishan finished speaking, she parked the car in front of the hotel.
got out of the car, took the food stamps and entered the restaurant, smelled the fragrance of buns from a distance, entered the gate, saw a girl sitting at the counter, saw her come in and looked at it curiously, touched her hair, "Comrade, what do you want to buy?" ”
Lin Lishan looked at her funny, probably it was Sister Wang Linzhi who Jiaojiao said, "Are there steamed buns and steamed buns?" ”
"Yes, just out of the cage, you smell the fragrance, there are sauerkraut and meat filling, and the steamed buns are just right. How much do you want? ”
Lin Lishan took out food stamps and money, "Twenty meat buns, twenty steamed buns, how much do you want?" ”
"Meat buns are 0.15 yuan, steamed buns are 0.07 yuan, and there are two taels of food stamps. Those from other provinces can't, only the food stamps of the whole country and the province. ”
After listening to her, Lin Lishan counted out the food stamps and money and handed them to her, the girl quickly put away the money and counted the bills, and shouted, "Master, 20 meat buns, 20 steamed buns." ”
After waiting for a while, holding the hot steamed buns, Lin Lishan hurriedly ran to the car, "You carry it first, wrap it in polished paper, and put it in the back and can't eat it, I'll drive, you can eat it when you're hungry." ”
Cheng Hongli carried two full bags, "Why did you buy so much?" We'll be going to the hotel later. This steamed bun is bigger than the face plate, can you eat it? ”
"Haha... I didn't expect the steamed buns here to be so big, I ordered them all, do you think the buns and steamed buns in the Northeast are so big, full of ingredients. When I went back to the restaurant, I ordered a bowl of braised pork, and the plate was full of meat. ”
Both of them laughed, the car stopped at the gate of the yard, heard the sound of the car, Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhao Dashan came out together, and when they saw both of them, they laughed, only to see Cheng Hongli with full hands, and Lin Lishan holding a thick quilt so that she couldn't see her face.
