Chapter 790: Fifty Bitter Sister-in-law (24)
"I guess you're not going back."
Xiao Jing dusted off the snowflakes, rubbed her hands and sat down on the edge of the kang:
"Why don't you miss home? Did you have a conflict with your family before you came out? ”
Xu Yin shook her head: "No." It's just that the road is far away, and it's too troublesome to go back and forth, and there is a hitchhike to take back, so what about coming back? What if I can't buy a train ticket and miss the spring ploughing? ”
"That's right." Xiao Jing nodded, waited for the coolness on her body to be less, sat cross-legged on the kang, held her cheeks and said, "But I'm really homesick, I want to go back." ”
Beiguan has a long winter, and there are three or four months when they can't work in the field, and the team members have nothing to do, and it is inevitable that they will be homesick when they calm down, and there are many people who want to go back like Xiao Jing.
But the trucks are loaded with goods, how can there be so many vacant seats for them to ride, and only five places will be given at most.
So, Captain Fu asked the team members who wanted to go home to draw lots.
Xiao Jing and Huang Xiaohong were lucky, and they both caught the places in the hitchhiker.
Xu Xiali didn't catch it, but she persuaded a male compatriot who caught the lot to exchange places with him for five catties of cornmeal.
In this way, in the bedroom where Xu Yin was, she was the only one left to stay here for the New Year.
Seeing this, Captain Fu was a little unbearable: "Xiao Xu, do you want to go home?" I'll think about it again...... That's right! Da Chun was also caught, I asked him to stay, you go back? ”
"No, no, no!" Xu Yin hurriedly waved her hand, "If I wanted to go home, I would have participated in the drawing of lots." Don't worry about it, let Brother Da Chun go home for the New Year with peace of mind, it's rare to have such a long holiday in a year. ”
"That's okay, anyway, there are a lot of people left, let's have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Captain Fu said, "It's just that you sleep alone at night, you won't be afraid, right?" ”
"No, it won't."
To tell the truth, it's too late for her to be happy in one person and one room! I can finally open a small stove for myself.
"Then Xu Yin, let's go! Come back after the New Year, and you will be safe alone. ”
Xiao Jing and the three of them packed their luggage and reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Yin.
"Xu Yin, my family will fry twist flowers for the New Year, I'll bring it to you."
"I'll bring you something to eat, too."
Xu Yin couldn't cry or laugh, and waved at them: "Okay, let's go and gather quickly!" Don't make the driver wait too long. ”
After Xiao Jing and the others left, she was left alone in the bedroom.
After wrapping up in a headscarf and cleaning up, the kang fire was burned a little hotter, and a platter of salmon, sea bream and geoduck was taken out of the system warehouse, a small stick of wasabi was squeezed, and a small glass of sake was poured in, and this simple seafood meal was enjoyed to treat yourself.
The main sashimi is not like hot pot and soup, which has a strong fragrance, and you don't need to wash the pot and bowl as much as you eat.
The winter in the north is very long, the outdoor ice and snow, as soon as you go out, you can freeze people into popsicles, so you can't go anywhere, Xu Yin is happy to nest in the house, from time to time to take some food out to feed herself, eat and drink enough to lie on the kang to read a book, and then put it in the storage system warehouse hoarding.
With so many of the materials she wore and hoarded in the small world, if she reorganized it, no matter how much time she had, how could it be boring.
But Captain Fu didn't know, he was worried that she would be lonely, so he came over to ask from time to time, and asked the lesbians next door to come to her to chat and be companions.
Xu Yin: How can this work? The free time is gone.
Xu Xiaoxiao Ghost Yin came up with an idea: every time someone came to the door, she would pick up the popular science book that could improve crop yields, and tell them about managing, fertilizing, thinning seedlings, and grafting......
After a few times, no one came to the door.
It's like a student on winter vacation, who just wants to eat melon seeds and chat, but is dragged to listen to the class, who can listen?
"Captain, Xu Yin is busy, she is reading and studying, and taking notes, so we are going to disturb her."
“……”
Captain Fu didn't believe it, paced from the front yard to the backyard with his hands behind his back, and knocked on Xu Yin's door.
Seeing that this girl was really reading, there was a rough brown paper notebook on her lap, and she was taking notes seriously.
Captain Fu sighed with emotion: No wonder she knows so much, it turns out that when others are resting, she has been learning!
What a spirit to learn and proclaim!
Captain Fu was moved to tears, and held Xu Yin's hand and solemnly stated:
"Comrade Xiao Xu, if our team can get the advanced place next year, I will definitely recommend you!"
Xu Yin: "??? ”
Accidentally overdressed?
But no matter what, I finally won a cat winter life for myself that no one disturbed.
Just when she was happy in the winter, the old Xu family in Yuanshan County made a fuss-
Xu Cui left a letter, leaving her triplets and entering the city by themselves.
How can you raise a child if you don't have money? She wants to be an independent woman and go to work in the city.
This is not wrong at first glance, she is a divorced woman, with no money and no food, how can she raise her three children?
But think deeply: Which family in the countryside does not raise children while going to the field? If you don't want to farm, then of course you have no money and no food. Besides, you put the burden on you and said you would leave, leaving the boy at your mother's house, who are you going to let take care of the child for you?
Mother Xu was so angry that she wiped her tears: "Cui'er, this dead girl, just leave, without saying hello, have you thought about it for us?" The three boys are all left in our house, how can we still work? Didn't you listen to the eldest daughter-in-law? If we dare to raise them, when we are old in the future, she will not care whether we live or die! What can I do, old man! Three mouths waiting to eat! ”
What can Old Man Xu do, knocked on his pipe, and sighed: "What can I do then?" You can't give them up for adoption, can you? ”
Speaking of adoption, Mother Xu was even more tearful, in the end, she was the grandson of her in-laws, and she was not willing to give it up until the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
At this time, she thought of her youngest daughter: "It would be nice if Yin'er was at home." Even if you want to send it, you will give it to your own people, how can outsiders have aunts. Old man, why don't you go to the city and inquire, didn't she say that she signed up for the national reclamation team? Let's find someone from the organization and ask them to send an urgent telegram to Yin'er, saying that something happened at home and asking her to come back. ”
Old man Xu has always had no say at home, and he will do whatever his wife says.
Besides, he also felt that he should let his little daughter come back.
The reclamation team is very difficult just to hear this name, how can there be a good family?
So, the next day he went to the city to inquire.
Not to mention, Old Man Xu's luck was much better than Xu Cui's.
When Xu Cui came to the city to inquire, even if she heard false news spread by her ex-husband.
Old man Xu was lucky, and when he asked, he happened to ask Huang Xiaohong who took a truck home for the New Year.
"Reclamation team? You're asking the right person, I'm from the reclamation team! ”
Huang Xiaohong saved up some rations to take home, and was praised by her father, she was in a good mood, she went out for a walk, and was stopped to inquire about the reclamation team, not only was she not angry, but she also asked enthusiastically: "Uncle, do you want to find someone, or do you want to send your children to join the reclamation team?" ”
"I'm looking for someone, I'm looking for someone."
