After Lu Dong and Liu Qin went back to their hometown, Xinlan went to the store again. In the leisure time to rest after being busy, Xinlan said in her heart, this year is not as good as in previous years, all the housework during the Spring Festival has been put on her head, it seems that she has to be prepared, otherwise when the time comes, the two daughters are busy going to work, and if Lu Nan doesn't come again, everything will be delayed. Thinking like this, a thought popped into her mind, and she said in her heart, it is better to bring the goods back first, and talk about the rest later. Thinking so, she immediately went to pick up the goods, and was busy until the end of the movie to list the goods.

Early the next morning, Xinlan went to her father and came back, and after explaining the family to her two daughters, she went to the store to get busy with the business before the show, and then took a car to the market. Just in time for the new year, the market is in full swing, and the people who purchase are shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless. Xinlan didn't dare to delay when she had something in her heart, and as soon as she entered the market, she went straight to Li Xing's store. Seeing her coming, Li Xing, who was very busy, hurriedly came over to greet her, so Xinlan took advantage of the situation to tell Li Xing about the situation, and then took out the manifest. Li Xing understands Xinlan's situation, and admires Xinlan's hard-working spirit, plus he is an old customer, of course he fully supports after listening to Xinlan, so he took time out of his busy schedule to list her goods first, and sent her to be busy purchasing other odd and bits of goods At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates to carry her goods out, and helped her rely on the truck she knew. When Xinlan turned around and saw that the goods had been sent, she collected the goods, said goodbye to Li Xing, and pulled a car back to the store. After finishing these, when they returned home, Xiaocun and Xiaohua had already prepared the meal according to Xinlan's instructions, and the family had eaten and cleaned up, Xinlan was relieved and turned to prepare for cleaning the kitchen and sacrificial stove...

Xinlan is not idle for a moment, she is at home for a while, her mother's house for a while, and the store for a while, like a spinning top all day long, and like a robot, tirelessly busy, completely to the point of selflessness, until lying on the bed at night, feeling tired and sore, I remember that I am still a person, especially a woman. But looking back, in the current situation at home, what can I do if I don't do this?! She doesn't know, either.

It's another day when you wake up, and the closer you get to the end of the year, the busier people become. Only the people watching the movie seemed to be idle, but this took up Xinlan's time, which made her feel more and more tight on time. She couldn't spare a lot of time to shop, so she remembered one by one, and without any further delay, she first sent the New Year's goods prepared for her younger siblings to Fusheng and asked him to hand them over; Immediately after coming back, he took the time to buy rice, flour, grain, oil and couplets. The good thing is that the two girls can help with the cooking, so that she can still catch her breath somewhat.

In this way, two days passed in a row, and on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, early in the morning, Xinlan got up, and before the meal was ready, she saw Lu Nan returning home with a bag on her back.

When Xinlan saw it, she was very happy, and hurriedly said while helping the child with the bag: "Just wait for you to come, I can't spare my hands if I want to buy some New Year's goods in the past two days." After speaking, he put the bag aside, turned around and asked, "Did you see your brother and your sister-in-law?" ”

Lu Nandao: "See, I originally planned to go to the car the night before yesterday, but as soon as my brother got home, I was afraid that I would go to the unit to find me first, so I came a day late." ”

"Oh, tired, aren't you?"

"Not tired." Lu Nan said, went to wipe his face, came back, remembered his sick grandfather, and asked, "Mom, what is my grandfather's condition?" ”

"Hey, what can you do if you're paralyzed? No, just lie on the bed and can't move. Or maybe your dad would have been there all the time? Xinlan said helplessly.

"Also, there has to be someone dedicated to serving, this I came, just this year's Spring Festival let me do my filial piety, I think when my grandmother died, you didn't notify me, I didn't even send my grandmother! I feel bad when I think about it. Lu Nan said regretfully.

"It's all over, don't feel bad, I'll send something to your dad in a while, will you go to see your grandfather?"

"Go! Gotta go! I'll have to stay there at night. Lu Nan said without thinking.

"Not really! I can't live at home, so I have to live there, but you can also help your dad serve your grandpa. ”

"Yes, I know." Lu Nan agreed, and when he glanced around, he suddenly seemed to have some shortcomings, and when he thought about it, he realized that he hadn't seen the two girls, so he asked his mother in confusion: "Mom, what about the two of them?" ”

"They work shifts at four o'clock, and they don't get off work until twelve o'clock at night, considering safety, they all live in the factory dormitory, and it is estimated that they should come back in the evening."

"Oh, I said, why don't you see these two! It turned out to be work, and I thought about it too. If they were, I guess they would have come out a long time ago. ”

"Needless to say." Xinlan said as she busily went back to cooking. Lu Nan was busy on the side and went to hold hands. After a while, the meal was ready, and after the two of them had eaten, Xinlan warmed the rest of the rice on the stove, then locked the door and came out with Lu Nan. The two walked and talked, and bought some fried buns along the way to see the old man. Looking at the door, Xinlan said: "Lu Nan, remember, don't cry when you see your grandfather, he doesn't dare to be excited about this illness." ”

"I know, Mom, it won't."

Hearing Lu Nan say this, Xinlan took out the key and opened the door, leading the way to the inner room. Lu Nan was behind, and as soon as he closed the door when he entered the house, it was dark in the outer room in an instant. He turned around and slowly walked in by the light of the inner room, and with the squeezed air current, a peculiar smell of urine in the ward hit him. Lu Nan knew in his heart, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, thinking back to the scenes in previous years, the voices and smiles of grandma and grandpa were still in front of him, and now, grandma is no longer there, and grandpa is lying on the bed again, how can people accept it. Lu Nan thought about it, and it was a little difficult to control his tears in an instant.

At this time, Fusheng had already gotten up, boiling porridge on a small fire here, and washing the old man's face over there. Hearing the knock on the door, I knew that it was Xinlan who came in, but I didn't care, I was still busy with the things in my hands. When Xinlan and Lu Nan entered the back room, Fusheng turned his head. When he saw Lu Nan, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and said, "Hey, I was thinking that your kid didn't come back after finding a partner, why did he come back so late!" ”

"Where will I find the object so quickly, I can't investigate and see." Lu Nanzheng had trouble controlling his tears. At this time, listening to his father talking to him, he took the opportunity to cover up the past. After speaking, he came to the bed, saw his grandfather lying on the bed, staring at him with two cloudy eyes, so he went over and bent down, leaned down to the old man's side, held the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, do you know who I am?" ”

Listening to Lu Nan, the old man understood in his heart, but he couldn't express it, and he couldn't help crying again in a hurry. Xinlan looked at it and hurriedly said, "Dad, don't cry, this time Lu Nan will not leave until the festival is over, let him accompany you more." ”

Fusheng and Lu Nan heard that they were busy, so they calmed the old man's emotions. Quieted down, everyone served the old man to eat, and at this time, Xinlan found that Fusheng was very patient with feeding now, his movements were no longer stiff and more proficient, and his posture was no longer awkward. Xinlan knew in her heart that the reason why she could do this was all related to Fusheng's hard work. She felt sorry for Fusheng in her heart, so she thought about taking advantage of Lu Nan's arrival and asking Lu Nan to help Fusheng, so she said to Lu Nan: "This time your grandfather is sick, fortunately your father is here, otherwise our family may not be able to live safely, but this is really bitter for your father, this time you are here, you will help your father at home when you are fine, right?" ”

Lu Nan said: "Zhong, Mom, if you have something to do, just go and get busy, my grandfather will leave it to me here." ”

Fusheng was busy feeding the old man, and when he heard that, he turned his face to Xinlan and said, "No, you just let him do this when Lu Nan came, he may not be able to do it." Let me say, this is almost the end of the year, and you have business and family there, so it is better to let him help you and see what he can buy for you. ”

Xinlan said: "I have basically bought everything there, and I only have to buy some meat tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

"You're pretty fast." Fusheng Road.

"It's not thirty this year, and it's too late if I don't advance it." Xinlan Road.

"That's what you said, you have to advance. If that's the case, then let Lu Nan help serve his grandfather here first, and wait for the New Year, running back and forth to deliver things and food. Fusheng said.

"Yes, anything." Xinlan just wanted to agree, but Lu Nan took the lead.

Seeing that Lu Nan agreed, Fusheng and Xinlan didn't say anything more. After the family served the old man and finished eating, Xinlan helped clean up and went home to get busy.

The next morning, Xinjun and Xinmei's families came to see their father. It just so happened that Lu Nan was also there. Everyone was very happy to see each other. After saying hello and saying hello, after talking for a while, I naturally talked about taking care of the old man. According to the meaning of Xinjun and Daling's discussion, he is usually the father who is taken care of by his sister and brother-in-law, but now that it is the Spring Festival, Xinjun has also taken a holiday, and he has time, so he can no longer only work hard for the eldest sister's family, and he should also fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a son. But Fusheng listened, smiled and smiled: "Forget it! Don't fight anymore, your sister and I have already planned, and now that Lu Nan is here to help, you don't have to fight anymore. ”

"How can that work? My sister has to do business again in the second year of junior high school, and she has to run at both ends, how can she do it then? Xinjun said.

"Why not? Sister Kai and I have both planned it. She is the housekeeper and the store, I am in charge of our dad here, Lu Nan runs at both ends, and the Xiaohua sisters are helpers when they don't go to work, what else can't they do? Besides, you and Xinmei are so far away from here, can you still be willing to go far? Let you be here alone, what should Da Ling and the children do? I've got the hang of it now, and you don't have to get used to it again! Don't say it, just do what your sister and we say, just have Lu Nan help me! Fusheng said in an indisputable tone.

Xinmei listened for a long time, and saw that she couldn't change Fusheng's mind, so she interjected: "Hey, forget it, don't fight between the two of you, and let the eldest sister and our brother-in-law serve, no one is as suitable as our brother." ”

Hearing Xinmei say the same, everyone stopped arguing, so they sat down and talked for a while, seeing that the time was almost noon, there was no way to delay, a group of people went to say hello to the old man, and left home with the melon seeds and peanuts that Xinlan prepared for everyone.

So, the Spring Festival of Xinlan's family was spent in such an arrangement.
