Chapter 76: Tiger
The air was stuffy, without a hint of wind. People sit on the bus, as if they are in a hot air balloon, rolling forward, and the wind that brings in them does not lower the temperature. While cursing the weather, people have to admire the ancients' calculation of solar terms.
Xinlan got out of the car and came to the market, where she bought two catties of meat and a bundle of leeks and went home. I got off work quite early in the morning, and after finishing work at eight o'clock, I should have come, but I hesitated to delay it until now. Xinlan felt that there was a situation at ten o'clock, and she was worried that she would not be able to catch up with the trip, so she walked home in two steps and one step, and when she was about to get home, she saw the figure of her mother who was suspected to be staggering in front. Xinlan approached and took a look, and sure enough, it was her mother. I saw my mother carrying a basket, which contained the same meat and leeks that I had bought. Xinlan shouted as she went to take the old lady's basket. The old lady came over in a daze, and saw that it was her eldest daughter, and she was very happy in her heart, but she still said in an intimate and blaming tone: I thought it was who! Don't you want your mother?
Xinlan heard her mother say this, and remembered her mother's staggering figure just now, and she felt very uncomfortable. She knew that her mother must still remember the last time she left in anger, so she said this, so she didn't dare to turn over the past, and hurriedly covered it up and said: Mom, look at what you said, how dare I not want you!? I didn't think it was time to eat dumplings today, so I came back to buy meat and leeks, who knew that I would buy them again? When the old lady heard this, she said happily: It's good to repeat, it's good to repeat! After speaking, he looked up and saw the entrance of his own building, but as if he remembered something, he instructed Xinlan Dao: Lanzi, Xinjun and his family will also come back today. I'll tell you, they are here today, no matter what they say, you should not hear it, let her, but don't leave without eating dumplings like last time! You don't know! How long did it make me feel bad after you left last time? Today, you have to promise me that you won't be angry again! Xinlan knew that she was a little too old last time, and she was so old, and she let her mother worry about it, she really shouldn't have it, but now when she heard her mother say this, she hurriedly said to the ticket: Don't worry, Mom! I definitely won't do that again. The old lady looked at what Xinlan said categorically, and then she was relieved.
The two of them went upstairs, waited for the door to put down their things, and came inside. The house was not too hot, but under the whirring ceiling fan, I saw that Xinjun and Li Chen had already come, and the family and father were watching the series in front of the TV. Li Chen was very sensible, and when he saw his grandmother and aunt coming in together, he hurriedly stood up and said hello. Xin Jun and his wife were fascinated by it, and they didn't say much. When my father saw that Xinlan was coming, Xinjun didn't speak, so he said angrily: Look at you two, so adults, your sister is here, and you don't say anything at all! Xinjun listened and said: My sister is not an outsider, will you blame us for this? As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Da Ling: Is it Da Ling? Da Ling still remembered the unpleasant thing last time, and saw Xin Jun ask herself, but she didn't want to say it but she couldn't help it, so she had to say perfunctorily: That's it. As he spoke, his eyes were still staring at the TV. Xinlan looked at Da Ling's situation and knew that she still remembered the last time, and she was afraid of making her parents angry, so she intentionally neutralized it, so she pretended not to care and said with a big grin: It's okay, it's okay! After speaking, he said to Da Ling: Brother and sister, everything has been bought, and the time is not early, let's go, let's go and plate the stuffing! I'll have to pack miles later. Let's see a few of them! Da Ling was also fascinated by it, and she didn't want to go, so she went and said to Xinjun: You and our sister will go first, I'll finish reading this, and I'll pack it in a while! The plot of fighting the tiger was being played on TV, and Xin Jun was also fascinated by it and did not move. Li Chen was on the side, seeing his parents treating his aunt like this, he was a little angry in his heart, so he said loudly to Xinjun: Dad, don't look at it, go and help my grandmother and aunt make dumpling filling. This episode, you just watch it a hundred times, you can't learn Wu Song, my mother is not the tiger, in the final analysis, you still can't beat my mother! Everyone didn't expect Li Chen to say this paragraph, they felt funny in their hearts, and they couldn't help laughing out loud. Xin Jun wanted to delay for a while, but when he heard Li Chen say this, he was afraid that Li Chen would say something if he sat down again, and it would not look good if he couldn't hold back at that time. Thinking about it, I had to stand up and come to the kitchen with Xinlan to get busy.
There are many people and great strength, everyone works together, and the work of stuffing here and there are all reconciled. The family sat around the living room and began to wrap dumplings. The old couple lives on the second floor, and there is an electric fan blowing, which is not too hot. Everyone was busy for a long time, and after wrapping the dumplings, they were busy boiling the water and going to the pot, which was a breather.
When everyone picked up the dumplings, the old couple went to ask Xinlan about the recent situation. So, Xinlan introduced her own situation. When the family heard this, they were all happy for Xinlan's work. Xinjun knew that her sister hadn't gone to the transfer during this time, so she couldn't help but say: Sister, it's been a while since you gave a gift last time, and you don't want to see what the result is! Xinlan knew that the family was concerned about this. But she didn't want to go. The last time she went, the factory director surnamed Fan didn't accept gifts, so she still had a little scruples, she didn't know what the result would be if she went again, and she couldn't make up her mind what to do, so she kept delaying and waiting. But it's been a month, and I haven't called a single phone, what should I do next? She didn't have an idea. At this time, when I heard my brother ask, I told him what I thought, and asked him what he should do next? Xinjun said: What can I do! Only by continuing to give gifts, when you impress that Director Fan, there will be hope. Xinlan heard her brother say this, and knew that he didn't have any good options, so she didn't say more, and just beckoned everyone to be busy eating dumplings. My younger sister Da Ling listened to it on the side, and I couldn't help it, and said: I can't get used to this mother-in-law's mother-in-law's indistinct things, if you want to leave me, you will take him down a long time ago! Xin Jun listened, smiled and teased: As long as you can, what others can't do, can you do? Da Ling ignored him when she heard this, and said while holding the dumplings with chopsticks: Now in this society, it pays attention to stalking. As the saying goes, those who have money are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of not dying. You only work the night shift now, and it's not that you don't have time, let me say, you go to him every day to cry, I don't believe he doesn't take it to heart! Da Ling's voice landed, and Xin Jun continued as if she knew that she would say this: You think our sister is you! I still think that factory director is me! If the trouble can be done, it will be a long time ago! Da Ling Dao: Aren't you unable to do it now? If you can't do it, why can't you try it? Besides, how much money can our sister give? After Da Ling finished speaking, she didn't wait for others to answer, and turned to Xinlan and said: Sister, this time you will listen to me, just make trouble for her! Xinlan didn't expect Da Ling to help herself find a way this time, she smiled and said to Da Ling: Okay, just listen to you!
After eating, Xinjun's family left early. After Xinlan finished cleaning up, she thought that she would have to be on duty all night at night, so she had to leave. The old man didn't speak for a long time, and now seeing that Xinlan was leaving, he said to Xinlan: You can't fail to fulfill what you promised me! Xinlan knew that what her father said was about moving back, and now she must be afraid that she would give up halfway, so she hurriedly said: Don't worry, Dad! I will definitely try my best! When the old man heard her say this, maybe he felt that Xinlan was not firm enough in his heart, so he said in an accentuated tone: It's not hard work, it's a certainty! If it really doesn't work, you really have to learn from your brother and sister's tiger spirit of not admitting defeat!
