Chapter 12 Family Mentality

Bai Yulan was stunned for a moment, "The second child's family, give the child to our mother to hold, and quickly help move it into the house, but I can't let anyone see it." ”

The second sister-in-law hurriedly turned around and handed over the son in her arms to her mother-in-law, she was very shrewd, and she could work hard for food during this period, not to mention so many things.

Xiao Yuan tied the canvas again, reached out and grabbed the two sacks, both of which were two hundred catties, the woman was still very hard, and he had a lot of strength.

The three little girls stretched out their heads to watch, and their eyes didn't know what to see, "Go to the hall, Uncle will give you candy to eat, don't look here, I've met you." Xiao Yuan let them into the house.

"Big girl, you take your sister to take these small ones, be careful!" Magnolia asked the eldest girl to take the small piece in her hand.

Xiao Yuan put two sacks of sweet potatoes in the hall, and as soon as he came out of the door, he saw five men hurrying over outside the courtyard, it was his uncle Xiao Jincai, uncle Xiao Jinxi, brother Xiao Dongfang in the lobby, second cousin Xiao Donglin, and cousin Xiao Dongping in the uncle's family.

"Uncle, uncle, eldest brother, second brother, Pingzi." Xiao Yuan took out his cigarette and greeted everyone.

"Xiaoyuan, you can be regarded as back, it has been eleven years since the last visit to the house, and your grandmother has been crying all day long." Xiao Jincai took his nephew's cigarette, and his hands trembled with excitement.

He felt very guilty about this nephew in his heart, as the eldest son, the second brother and his wife died, he really couldn't support him, and he was not ruthless.

In 47 years, his younger brother and sister-in-law died one after another, and he handled the aftermath, the eldest son in his family had just gotten married, the second son was one year older than Xiao Yuan, and there were two little daughters, and they had to take care of the old mother.

"This time, I changed jobs and arranged to work in the Red Star Rolling Mill, the deputy head of the procurement department, and I often have to go on business trips." Xiao Yuan said with a smile that his heart knot had already been untied, and he had figured it out when he visited his home for the first time.

In those days, who could support a fifteen-year-old boy? can eat and drink, and is about to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and he can't take care of his own children.

"It's good to work, find a daughter-in-law to marry when it's stable, we can be regarded as relieved, you see that Pingzi has two children." Xiao Jinxi took the cigarette, and he was also very emotional, his nephew finally mixed up, and the second brother and sister-in-law could also look at it.

"Dad, second uncle, let's talk later, hurry up and help move the things to the house and put them away, it is estimated that someone will come soon." Magnolia had just moved in and hurriedly interrupted their chat.

"Okay, Dongfang, Donglin, Pingzi, hurry up and help." Xiao Jincai saw a few bags and big fish, no need to ask is food, this is a life-saving thing.

There were a lot of people, and they not only moved things in, but also hid them, and of course left some outside.

"Uncle, eldest brother and second brother, Pingzi, let's go to your uncle's house while we are here, the gift I gave you is still in the car, so quickly unload and hide it." Xiao Yuan said to the uncle.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and open the door first!" Xiao Jinxi said excitedly, turned around and left, he thought it was all given to the old family, and he didn't know how much he could share, the two nieces and daughters-in-law were not simple, who knew that the nephew thought about it thoroughly.

The two families are only separated by a homestead, which is the old house of Xiao Yuan's family, which is dilapidated, and only a thatched house with earthen walls remains.

Xiao Yuan drove, and the three cousins hurriedly ran over, the uncle's house was almost the same as the uncle's house, except that there were two less west houses, the courtyard door was wide open, and the car was parked directly at the door of the hall.

First take the small one, a cigarette, two bottles of wine, a pound of milk candy, a pound of brown sugar, a bottle of malt milk essence, a packet of milk powder, half a piece of cloth, two old military uniforms, and two slightly smaller big fish.

All the food is less than half of the uncle's family, this is no way, grandma herself is a separate share, and this is the same everywhere.

I said hello to my aunt Cheng Sanni, my brother and daughter-in-law didn't have time to get to know each other, so they hurriedly moved things, their eyes couldn't see it, they only knew to move to their own house and hide it.

After all the things were placed, Xiao Yuan scattered another circle of cigarettes, "Uncle, lock the door, let's go to the uncle's house to chat, and someone will come to visit the door soon." Xiao Yuan told Uncle Xiao that in such a small village, his surname is still Xiao, and he, a celebrity, is back, and many people must come.

"You're right, you go first, I'll arrange to go over right away." Xiao Jinxi understands the things in the village.

Xiao Yuan drove the tricycle back again, and when he entered the yard, he had already seen someone coming in the distance, such a small mountain village, where would there be secrets!

The four cousins directly moved the tables and benches in the uncle's house, and the uncle also has an 18-year-old cousin, Xiao Donghai, and a cousin among the two brothers, Xiao Yumei, 21 years old, who is married.

I couldn't sit down in the hall at all, so I was in the courtyard, and it wasn't particularly cold anyway, Xiao Yuan took a packet of sesame candy, a big bag of flower tea, and a big bag of melon seeds from the carriage, of course, he was smuggled from the space, he didn't think about it before.

The first to come is the captain and the accountant, both surnamed Xiao, a cousin, a cousin, just this person, where is the distance, in the whole small village, there are only two families surnamed Li, or the two sons of the son-in-law who is inverted.

"Third grandfather, second uncle, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" Xiao Yuan, as a junior, took the initiative to come forward to salute the cigarette.

"Xiaoyuan, you're finally back, I remember the last time I visited my home was the year of liberation, how big an officer did you become in the army?" The old captain Xiao Wenxu asked this nephew with a smile, the most prominent child in the entire Xiao family.

"Third master, I became a battalion commander in the army, I changed jobs a few days ago, went to the Red Star Rolling Mill, and only reported yesterday that I had arranged a job, and I will return to my hometown today." Xiao Yuan could only explain like this, and they didn't understand the staff officers at the battalion level.

"It's good to be a battalion commander, if you work hard, you might be able to become a general, how can you change jobs?" Xiao Wenxu glared, what's the matter, he won't make any mistakes, right?

"Third master, you don't understand, it's all in exchange for life, now it's too peaceful, there is no war, how can it be so easy to be promoted!" Xiao Yuan smiled, it would be difficult for him to become a general, and when he was 88 years old, he would be 56 years old, who knows what the situation is!

"Yes, the general depends on his military exploits!" Accountant Xiao Jinfu is a bit educated, otherwise he wouldn't be an accountant.

"There is another one, I had a recurrence of my old injury this spring, I had a major operation, and I didn't know what I could recover from at the time, so I simply changed jobs, I was shot twice, stabbed a few times, and two of my toes froze off. Xiao Yuan took advantage of everyone's presence to simply make it clear, don't envy me for having today, in exchange for my life.

"Huh? It's so serious, you were injured in the Northern Dynasty, right? How is your body now? You kid, you never say anything in letters, we don't know! Xiao Jincai was so anxious that he stood up.

"Now that I have recovered, medicine has also developed, unlike before, both shots were in the stomach, the conditions were limited before, but this time it was completely cured, you see!" Xiao Yuan lifted his clothes, revealing several unsightly scars on his abdomen.

A large group of people were dumbfounded, it turned out that this child was really fatal, two shots hit the stomach, and a bad life was lost a long time ago.

"Ancestors bless! If this is in our mountains, one shot is estimated to be dead! Xiao Jinxi's expression was complicated, he was also a hunter, and he knew that gunshot wounds were severe, especially in the stomach, which was easy to infect, and it hurt the internal organs even more.

"Don't talk nonsense, thank you to our country, thank you to the doctor." Accountant Xiao Jinfu glared at his cousin, what did the ancestors bless at this time, it was troublesome to spread it.

"Okay, okay, let's drink tea and eat melon seeds, let's talk about your work." The old captain Xiao Wenxu waved his hand to stop the topic.

"I am now the deputy chief of the procurement section of the rolling mill, and the deputy head of the reserve, this time I came back not only to visit my father and fellow villagers, but also to come with a task, I want to hunt and get some meat, if there is a task pig is the best, the piglet is also collected, the procedures are complete, absolutely give a high price, and exchange food for it." Xiao Yuan took the opportunity to say the purpose.

"Can it really be exchanged for food? Xiaoyuan, don't lie to the third grandfather! Xiao Wenxu was so excited that he almost knocked over the teacup, and the big pot of rice in the village stopped, and he ate wild vegetables more than a month ago.

"Third master, look at my ID and letter of introduction, this is my gun, and there is a semi-automatic in the car, can I joke about this? Hongxing Factory is a large factory with more than 10,000 people, and it can still lack this bit of food! Xiao Yuan took out several documents and showed the horse card in his waist.
