When they got home, Kou Xi's grandparents were very happy. The two old men didn't eat, and they were waiting for Kou Xi all the time.

She entered the door, and the old lady happily went to eat and put down the dumplings. The old man pulled Kou Xi to his side and interrogated him carefully.

Until the old lady came in with steaming dumplings, bluffed her face and said: "Tell me, what to say, what to say? After a day and a night of training, there is no food in the stomach, hurry up and eat!"

The dishes on the table are sumptuous, and the aluminum basin in the middle is filled with a pot full of sauce bone sticks. Inside a fish plate next to it is the old lady's specialty, stewed eggplant with catfish. A large bowl of home-cooked cold dishes, a large plate of tomatoes with sugar.

"There are two fillings, this plate is for leek eggs, and this plate is for celery and pork!" The old lady put two plates of dumplings in front of Kou Xi: "Oh, look at what you want to eat first!"

Her rough calloused hands stroked Kou Xi's hair, and slowly touched Kou Xi's face, neck, and shoulders along the hair.

He said distressedly: "Why are you so tanned? People have also suffered a lot! What's the matter, is it too bitter over there? Didn't Huo An give you enough food?"

In the end, women are more careful, Kou Dewang chatted with his daughter all the way and didn't notice that she had become thinner. Kou Xi wasn't very fat in the first place, but this time the baby fat on his face went down a lot.

"Really?" Kou Xi touched his face and said with a smile: "It turns out that I am just too fat, and a big face catches up with the plate." I wish I could be thinner, look better in my clothes!"

"What's wrong with being fat?" the old lady of the Kou family said angrily: "It's a blessing to be fat, you see that your skinny ones are all collapsed." She looked at Kou Xi suspiciously: "Tell me, is that kid not giving you food and starving you thin?"

As soon as Kou Xi got off the train, he heard that his father wanted her to join the army as soon as possible. Grandpa just said a lot, and roughly hoped that she would quit her job quickly, and she couldn't be transferred and didn't care about that job, and now it's serious for the two to have a child together as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Kou Xi couldn't help but reach out and grab a chopstick and drum stick. While gobbling up the meat, he complained: "It's not that Huo An won't give me food, it's that there is really nothing in that place." There's only one decent guest house, and I can't stay there every day. The family members who went to visit relatives over there all rented a house in the villager's house. There is only one small store in that place, and if you want to eat something good, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives twenty miles away. There are only three or four bicycles in the whole village, and they all rely on a pair of legs to go out. Also, there are no refrigerators and TVs. It's so easy to buy some meat, and if you can't eat it on this hot day, you're waiting for sour!"

"Yes!" The old lady looked distressed and saw that Kou Xi was struggling with the tendons on her bones, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to persuade: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, take another piece to gnaw, eat meat." As he spoke, he snatched the drum stick in Kou Xi's hand that was only left with a tendon, and threw it to his son Kou Dewang.

The old lady rummaged in the basin and picked out a piece of meaty clip for Kou Xi: "Buy a small elbow for you tomorrow, and relieve your hunger!"

I picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the dumplings one by one, and put them to my mouth to blow. I'm afraid that the dumplings are too hot to Kouxi!

"The house we rented happened to be shared with the mother of another battalion commander. It's also thanks to this old lady, who grows vegetables in the front yard and backyard. The rice and white noodles are constant, and you can't finish the vegetables no matter how you eat them. Kou Xi didn't forget to put Huo An out: "He got me a lot of canned food, and he usually went to buy meat when he was free, and it didn't take much effort." Compared to the family members in the village, I was really used to heaven. ”

Kou Xi was eating meat happily, saying nothing in her mouth, but she actually kept eating. She is a person who has never been treated badly since she was a child, and the meat in the house has never stopped for a moment. In this era, there are people who can eat enough iron bucket biscuits, and they can't find a second one in ten miles and eight villages except Kouxi.

So when the three elders in the family saw Kou Xi's gobbling posture, what else didn't they understand. Especially Mrs. Kou, it was really a hundred distressed and a hundred reluctant.

"It was really boring, so I went out to set up a stall. Kou Xi ate four or five drum sticks in one go, and gave a long burp. After wiping his hands with the cloth next to him, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the dumplings.

"The initial investment is quite large, I bought a liquefied gas tank and bought a pot. Doesn't that battalion commander Gao have a lot of vegetables at home, and they have to rot if they can't eat them. I pondered about putting on some bamboo skewers and wearing them, and the whole spicy hot pot soup base was boiled and skewered for sale. Anyway, Huo An can't go home every day, and I'm not bored. I didn't expect to sell it for a while, and I really made a lot of money. Kou Xi covered up the two bad things that had happened, and showed his ability with a smile: "The place where the stall is set up is right in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, not to mention anything else, it is convenient to buy meat every day." ”

"Hey, are you going out to be self-employed?" the old lady wrinkled her eyebrows: "The wind and the sun are blowing, and Huo An doesn't care about you?"

"Milk!" Kou Xi looked proud: "Can Huo An control me? Who is in charge of our family, don't you know! He doesn't have a penny now, and his pocket is cleaner than his face." The salary is all discounted by me, and I usually live on bonuses. ”

"I thought I'd give you a hundred dollars a month!" No one was upset to hear that their children were in charge of the house, and their husbands were not happy. That shows that her granddaughter has a status in her in-law's family, at least her husband doesn't dare to ignore her.

"It's been the old yellow calendar for a long time, and I'll give it to me after the New Year. This time I came back, and I forfeited all his winnings. Leave him fifty yuan for emergency, anyway, he will pay a bonus soon!" Seeing Kou Xi's triumph, Kou Dewang immediately felt sorry for his son-in-law: "You can't do this! How can a man do without money outside? You are not a tigress, and you are not short of money, why are you picking so hard?"

"Men become bad when they are rich, do you know?" Kou Xi was straightforward: "Besides, that place doesn't even have a chance to spend money." What is the use of asking for money? This money is kept for me to buy land and build a house, anyway, my father-in-law and I can't count on it, buy land early and move out early!"

"Don't keep moving out and moving out!" The old lady couldn't hear this: "What are you talking about? He's alone outside, can he let you divide the family like this? How bad is it to say it? Besides, it's not safe for you to live by yourself as a woman, aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's even more dangerous to live with them!" Kou Xi snorted at the old lady: "Have you forgotten what they did at that time to prevent me from having a chance to get pregnant? If there is a child, there will always be a time when I can't see it, if I do something to my child, it's too late to cry!"

"Are you pregnant?" the old lady ignored the point, thinking that Kou Xi's family leave had a big gain!
