Chapter 378: The Seventies (10)

Xu Yin served the old lady a bowl of rice and pulled her to the table to sit down.

The old lady reacted and hurriedly left: "No, no, no, I'll go back and eat." ”

"Grandma, what's wrong with having a meal at my house? Isn't my father your son? ”

"That's right, mother, it's all ordered, come and leave, what is it like to be seen! I thought that I, Xu Laosan, wouldn't even give you a meal. ”

Chen Huilan saw that the amount of food her daughter made was okay, and she also said: "Mother, sit down and eat!" How much time can you spend eating a meal? ”

The old lady said in her heart: I don't want to eat, I'm afraid of dying of your daughter's cooking.

But the granddaughter dragged her to sit down, and she couldn't stand up again.

took a bite of two rice, remembered his own intention, took out the grain hidden in his clothes, and handed it to Xu Yin:

"Is your family running out of food? Let's make do with it first, and let your grandfather think of a way to see if you can get some black rice. ”

She still has a little money in her hand.

Old man Xu has worked in the agricultural machinery factory for more than 20 years, and the wages he earns have been integrated a lot.

It's just that in the early stage, I more or less subsidized the three sons, especially the younger son, who spent a lot of money, and then I have been saving.

In the future, there is still a pension, of course, not as high as the salary, but it is enough for the old couple. After all, the old lady still has a ration, and her own land is not deserted, and she has planted some seasonal vegetables and miscellaneous grains such as buds and sweet potatoes, which is absolutely enough for the two of them to live.

Xu Lao and the three of them are used to seeing the old lady send some rice, flour and grains from time to time, but Xu Yin has some mixed tastes.

"Grandma, you better take it back, you and Grandpa also have dinner. My family's food, I'll find a way. ”

"What's polite to your grandma!" Xu Laosan hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take it in, it's not good to be seen." ”

Xu Yin: "......"

Not only is he lazy, but his skin is also very thick.

Also, thin-skinned people probably can't be a lazy person.

Mrs. Xu took a bite of the shrimp skin scrambled eggs that Xu Yin sandwiched into her bowl, and the next second, she looked at her granddaughter in surprise: "This dish, you fried it?" ”

"That's right!" Xu Laosan hurriedly said, "Yin Yin has been cooking for the past two days, her cooking is delicious, much better than what her mother cooks!" ”

Chen Huilan kicked him under the table: "I don't make it delicious, don't you eat it too?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you're doing okay, but compared to Yin Yin, isn't it far behind? You said so yourself yesterday. ”

“……”

Mrs. Xu didn't care about the bickering, picked up the rice bowl and ate happily: "Ouch, it seems that the girl has made a lot of progress, and the girl's family should practice cooking, so as not to get married in the future and not even be able to eat hot food." ”

After eating, I remembered the business of my son's family: "I heard someone say this morning that your family of three is now working in the field?" Yin girl still has a lot of strength? Really? ”

"Really, really." Xu Laosan saw that they had all eaten, so he took the bowl of scrambled eggs with shrimp skin and filled a bowl of rice, and the oil at the bottom was used for bibimbap, which was delicious, and he muttered while eating, "Girl, where did you pick up this wild egg?" I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow, and I'm trying to pick up a few more and come back, it's too fragrant to fry and eat! ”

"Is this a wild egg?" Mrs. Xu reacted, "Yes, your family refuses to even raise a chicken, and it is troublesome to feed the chickens." If you want to eat an egg, you have to run to pick up wild eggs. Are wild eggs so easy to pick up? Once is lucky, how can you be so lucky every time? ”

When it comes to chickens, Xu Yin really has a question to ask: "Grandma, how many chickens can we raise?" ”

"Two at most, what? Do you want to raise? If you raise them, you have to get chicken food, and you usually have to sweep the yard often and shovel the chicken feces into the dustpan to make manure. If you can do it, I'll find you two chicks. ”

Don't expect sons and daughters-in-law to clean up like dogs and earn work every day like now, and she will recite the Amitabha Buddha with her palms together.

Xu Yin nodded: "Okay, grandma, you help me find two chicken cubs, and I'll feed them." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he secretly stuffed two pieces of money rolled into cigarettes into Xu Yin's hand:

"Your father and mother are not in tune, your eldest sister is married again, and now this family still has to rely on you to support it. Grandma gave you money, don't let your parents know, you are secretly hiding, what is missing at home, go buy some. Don't worry, I'll ask your grandfather to inquire, find a suitable opportunity to buy some black market grain, and last until the autumn harvest. ”

How could Xu Yin ask for the old lady's money: "Grandma, take it back, I have money." I'll be able to get the money for my sticky matchbox right away. ”

"How much is that worth?"

Mrs. Xu still doesn't know, how much money can she receive for the number of matchboxes? The little girl's family bought two red-headed ropes, and there was not much left.

She insisted on stuffing the money into Xu Yin's hand and went back with her little feet.

Xu Yin thought about finishing work in the evening and going to the river to see if she could trap two more fish with the fish food in her hand and come back, and then divide the two old ones into one.

When I walked back to the house, I saw the pair of dung buckets in the yard, patted my forehead, forget it, her father went back to the house to take a nap, stopped calling him, and ran by himself.

She picked up the dung bucket and walked towards Chen Lei's house, and accompanied the old lady for a while.

Mrs. Xu saw her coming out with a dung bucket, and wondered, "Are you going to pick up dung at this point?" ”

"No, this is Chen Lei's family, he helped me pick two buckets to make fertilizer before lunch, and I will return the buckets."

"......" Mrs. Xu heard this, her eyes were a little straight, "What's that...... Going forward, the youngest son is picking up manure for you? Ouch hey! ”

Thinking of the fierce appearance of the daughter-in-law who went forward, she also said that if she knew which family, she would definitely kill the door and scold her, and the whole person was not good, so she hurriedly stopped her granddaughter: "Don't go, don't go!" ”

The little old lady was almost scared to death.

"What's wrong, grandma?"

"Ouch, I can't say that for a while. Give me the bucket, I'll bring it to you, don't come out, hurry back to the house. ”

She dragged away the two buckets and let Xu Yin go home.

Then she took a step towards Chen's house.

In just a few steps, she was stunned by her heroic steps.

When she arrived at the door of Chen's house, Mrs. Xu looked around.

Fortunately, no one was out at this point.

Mrs. Xu quickly put the two buckets in the courtyard of the Chen family, and ran away.

I ran home panting all the way before I sat down with my chest on my back.

"Ouch, I'm exhausted!"

Old man Xu was waiting for her to come back and start the meal: "Go and ask something, why did you go for so long?" ”

The frightened Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "You can eat, I have eaten at the third child's house." ”

"Does he still have food for you?" Old man Xu was happy.

When she mentioned this, Mrs. Xu's nervous mood was calmed:

"Yin girl is a lot sensible, and she makes the rice, but the three of them are indeed more successful than before, and they know that they go to the field to earn work, so they don't eat and go to take a nap, and they say that they will go to work in the field next day."

The old couple chatted about some changes in the younger son's family, and the youngest son, who thought he would be lazy for a lifetime, actually worked diligently to earn full work, and when he was happy, Old Man Xu ate an extra bowl of rice at noon, and the result was supported.

Mrs. Xu was angry and funny: "I just said that the third family doesn't have enough food to eat, so you have to find a way to get some, and you still eat yourself, you really have yours!" ”

Old man Xu smiled: "Happy!" ”
