Lin Xiao didn't cling to it anymore, because it was pointless to dwell on these questions.

After returning home, Xiao Hong had already made the noodles, Lin Xiao went to take a bath first, and when he came out, An Ran was already sitting at the dinner table eating noodles.

She praised one by one, "Godmother, it's so fragrant, you can come and eat some too." ”

"Okay." Xiao Hong sat opposite An Ran with a kind face, and also ate noodles.

"Godmother, why don't you have meat?"

An Ran ate and ate, looked down at his bowl, and then looked at Xiao Hong's.

Good guy, it's okay not to look at it, but as soon as you look at Enron, you will find the clue.

There was a big bowl of ham and meat in his and Lin Xiao's bowl, but in Xiao's red bowl, there were only a few vegetarian dishes such as shredded radish and shredded potatoes.

"My meat is all sinking to the bottom, let the noodles cover, you eat it while it's hot first."

An Ran obviously didn't believe it, picked up the chopsticks on Lin Xiao's bowl next to him that hadn't been touched yet, flicked them twice, and said angrily: "What's the matter, godmother, you lied to me."

"Hey, hey."

Xiao Hong's face showed a hint of embarrassment at being exposed, "I don't like to eat meat when I'm old, just eat more vegetables." ”

An Ran's face was slightly angry.

Like Xiao Hong, who was born in that era and came all the way to be poor, it is a lie to say that they don't like to eat meat.

As he spoke, An Ran sandwiched the meat and ham into Xiao Hong's bowl, "Godmother, you don't remember, I don't like to eat meat, give me less meat in the future." ”

Xiao Hong was in a hurry and wanted to move the bowl away, but was held down by An Ran.

"You're only seventeen years old, and you're still growing your body, how can you eat less meat!"

"It's okay, isn't it popular to lose weight now? I just happened to find out that I was also fat, godmother, you eat more. ”

"Nonsense, where are you fat!"

The two of them just pushed me with a few pieces of meat in the bowl, and Lin Xiao came over at this time.

Xiao Hong just turned around, "Xiao Xiao, quickly, you tell An Ran, is it that my mother likes to eat vegetarian dishes and doesn't like meat." ”

"I told An Ran, she still thinks I'm deducting myself, come, help me talk about it."

Who knows, under Xiao Hong's gaze, Lin Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Don't fight." ”

"Enron, you take the meat back."

"But ......"

An Ran only said two words, but he still obediently put the meat back, and muttered in his mouth: "Godmother has to go to work all day and night, how can I have the strength to work if I don't eat meat." But I, who am idle at home all day long, isn't it a waste of food to eat so much meat? ”

It's not that Lin Xiao doesn't understand An Ran's words, she is distressed that Xiao Hong works hard and the food is not good.

After An Ran put the meat back, Lin Xiao pushed his bowl in front of Xiao Hong and gave the meat to Xiao Hong, "Mom, you eat me." ”

Xiao Hong: ......

"Okay, okay, one and a half, and then push it around, and the dough is battered."

In the end, Xiao Hong and Lin Xiao ate half of the meat, and all the meat of An Ran entered their stomachs.

After eating the noodles, An Ran washed the dishes and went to bed.

Lin Xiao sat on the sofa and accompanied Xiao Hong to wait for Wu Dawei.

"Xiao Xiao, how is Jianguo's case today?"

Xiao Hong has been busy all day, and only now has he had time to talk to Lin Xiao about this topic.

When An Ran was there, it was inconvenient for her to ask, for fear that she would touch the scene.

At this time, she also waited for An Ran to go back to her room to sleep, and she pretended to pass by the door several times to make sure that there was no sound inside before she came to ask.

Lin Xiao was smiling in his heart when he saw Xiao Hong's cautious appearance, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"Uncle is fine, don't worry."

Xiao Hong was stunned, "It's okay?" ”

"Yes, if nothing else, I'll be back home in a month at most."

Xiao Hong was surprised, "Ah, so fast." ”

Lin Xiao: "You're disappointed?"

"Is it so obvious?"

Xiao Hong unconsciously touched her face with her hand, "I can't bear her, these days and nights, I really think I have an extra daughter." ”

At that time, Xiao Hong responded to the call of the national family planning and gave birth to Lin Xiao.

In fact, Xiao Hong may like her daughter more than her son, and living in the house safely at this time has simply fulfilled her other dream.

Lin Xiao swept away the gloom just now, and suddenly laughed, "Sooner or later, it will be." ”

Xiao Hong didn't react to this at first, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong, "Can't you know this in a hurry?" In particular, you can't get pregnant before marriage! ”

Middle-aged women usually like to watch some hot news at home when they are idle, especially some children who are born and can't find their fathers.

Xiao Hong said with a serious face: "I'll tell you the truth, it's not a joke, I don't care how open other people's family style is, but as your mother, I have the responsibility to manage you."

"A girl's chastity is not a joke."

At that time, there was actually very little education in that area, and the parents' evasion and misguidance in that aspect led to so many tragedies now.

Xiao Hong also mentioned that aspect to Lin Xiao for the first time, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and poured water with a red face.

"It's hard for me to be a forty-year-old mother."

Lin Xiao wanted to laugh a little.

The first time he saw Xiao Hong like this, the memory of his mother in his previous life, she worked non-stop, from day to night, and went home to be busy when the factory was busy.

I was so busy that I ended up getting sick all over my body.

This life has improved.

Lin Xiao was slightly relieved, although he would not go in the direction he predetermined, but at least Xiao Hong now had the leisure to give him ideological education.

"Dawei, you're back."

With the sound of a string of broken keys at the door, Xiao Hong got up and handed Wu Dawei slippers at the door.

"It's so late, and you still haven't slept yet?"

Wu Dawei took the slippers, turned to look at the clock on the wall, and said in a slightly harsh tone.

"No, is it late for a chat?"

When she answered, Xiao Hong had a smile on her face.

Wu Dawei turned sideways slightly, saw Lin Xiao sitting on the sofa behind Xiao Hong, nodded, and turned around and walked in the direction of the room.

Xiao Hong behind him was shouting, "Dawei, I'll put you in the bath water first."

"Mom and Dad, I'll go to bed first."

Lin Xiao also stood up.

Wu Dawei suddenly turned back, "Xiao Xiao, you wait for me." ”

After shouting, he approached the room and heard a sighing voice.

Lin Xiao appeared at the door, "What are you looking for?" Dad, do you want to help? ”

"No, you don't." Wu Dawei bent over and lifted the desk alone with great difficulty.

It's a square wooden table, and it's a bit heavy.

I don't know if I don't look closely.

There seemed to be a small envelope pressed under the corner of the table.

With his current physical condition, it was still too difficult to carry heavy objects, and with his two hands carrying the desk, Wu Dawei was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and he still didn't call Lin Xiao to help.

Instead, he used his feet to pull out the envelope little by little.

"Dad, I'd better come."

When Lin Xiao saw this scene, he took the initiative to greet him, "Dad, the doctor said don't do heavy work, why don't you listen to the doctor?" ”

"How did carrying the table become a heavy job? Do you really treat me like a waster? ”

Having said that, when he put down the table, he was so tired that he sat on the stool, holding the envelope and gasping for breath for a while.

"Dad."

Lin Xiao stared at the envelope and guessed that Wu Dawei was holding the envelope at this time, which was a continuation of the red envelope given to An Ran in the morning.

"You, don't persuade me."

Wu Dawei lowered his head and opened the envelope, Lin Xiao only noticed Wu Dawei at this time, his head was half white unconsciously, and his back was a little bent by the years at some point.

Because of his perennial car, his skin is darkened, and his fingertips are covered with delicate calluses.

He carefully opened the envelope, counted it back and forth three times, and then gave a whole bag to Lin Xiao.

"I came back late, and there are no red envelopes to sell in the store."

"When An Ran wakes up, you give her the whole envelope."

Lin Xiao took the envelope and probably checked it, conservatively estimated that it was a thousand yuan.

Wu Dawei, who only spent fifteen yuan a day and couldn't even afford to buy nutritional powder, actually gave An Ran 1,000 yuan in one go.

After Wu Dawei put the envelope with Lin Xiao, Xiao Hong's voice also sounded from the bathroom.

"Dawei, the water is ready, it's time to take a bath."

"Okay."

Wu Dawei turned around and went to the room to get his clothes, and his mouth was still chattering, "Although the two of you have known each other for a long time, since the relationship has been confirmed now, the etiquette should be the same." ”

"It's not a lot, it's a welcome gift from me."

It's almost a month's salary, and it's not much?

"Dad, you can save some for yourself."

It must be that the weather is too dry, yes, it must be, otherwise why does Lin Xiao's voice sound a little hoarse?

"I still have it, that's enough."

Wu Dawei walked with a rickety on his back, "Besides, my salary will be paid in a few days." ”
