Chapter 11: What a good son-in-law

The dumplings were cooked, the stir-fried vegetables were served on the table, Tang Xing walked back and forth around the dining table several times, looking at the table full of food, he couldn't help but drool.

The temptation of this table of food was too great for her, and she had never eaten so much delicious food when she was so big.

Taking advantage of Tang Yue and Li Jianning's busy work, she couldn't help but reach out and grab dumplings from the dining table to eat.

Seeing that a bowl of dumplings was about to bottom, Tang Xing's little face was oily, and Tian Lanfang got up from the kang slowly.

In previous years, no matter how bad the days were, my mother had to make six dishes, but fried peanuts, cold cabbage heart, fried celery with fatty meat and other meals.

For the New Year, you have to eat better.

What's more, this year is different from the past, this is a new beginning.

Her life is about to start anew.

Deep-fried saury, fried eggs, and stir-fried vegetables with meat are filled with six dishes.

Most of them were taken by her from the space, the amount was very small, and the dishes could not be too different from the actual situation, which was easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

If they asked, she would say that she had done it quietly.

"Why are you waking up so early, you haven't slept well. The bed finally warmed up, and I had to get up......"

Tian Lanfang opened her mouth and yawned, muttering in her mouth, and her face was full of reluctance.

Before his eyes were opened, he stretched out his hands and pounded his waist vigorously.

"The kang head is as hard as a stone, and my back hurts when I sleep......"

As if she suddenly realized something, she opened her eyes violently and smiled awkwardly at Tang Yue, who was standing next to the kang.

"When I get older, my body is not as strong as when I was young......"

With a rambling explanation, she hurriedly put on her clothes and trotted over to the blazing stove in the hall.

Most of the rural families will set up a stove in the hall for the winter, and if they have the conditions, they will burn coal, and the coal will continue during the day and night, and the home will be a little hot; If you don't have the conditions, you can burn firewood, which is a bit troublesome, and you need to light a fire every day, and the heating effect is also poor.

Li Jianning, who is diligent and capable, has already burned the stove vigorously.

Tang Youde never gave Tian Lanfang money, she didn't have money to buy coal at all; If they want to survive the winter, they have to find their own way.

There is a poor way to live, Tian Lanfang is a diligent and capable person, she cut some firewood and stacked it neatly in the west wing; On weekdays, the stove is stuffed with firewood, and when it is cold, the kang is burned, and the three mothers lie on the kang to keep warm, but they also survived.

Most of the firewood cut by Tian Lanfang is pine, which is flammable, and the flames are red when burned, exuding a good smell of pine; When it burns, it crackles, like firecrackers.

This kind of heating stove has the advantage that it can also put a kettle on the stove while heating; As long as the fire is strong one day, there is hot water for the whole day.

She also roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes in the charcoal fire under the stove, and the greedy Tang Xing always ate like a little cat.

That was Tang Xing's last life, and he was the happiest.

"Mother, come and wash your face, let's eat!"

Tian Lanfang, who was sitting next to the stove, frowned and looked at her chapped and dry hands, and Tang Xing's crisp shout came from her ears.

The sensible Tang Xing took the kettle from the stove and poured hot water into the basin; Turned around and scooped out a scoop of cold water from the water urn and mixed it, and after testing the water temperature, he shouted at Tian Lanfang.

Tang Xing jumped over and stretched out his little hand and touched Tian Lanfang's forehead; Happy shouting mother!

She stretched out her hand and affectionately pulled Tian Lanfang to the basin.

A sweet scent wafted from her little face.

It is a fragrance of the alabaster.

Tian Lanfang couldn't help but be shocked.

Tang Yue is a domineering and unreasonable, she has skin care products such as alabaster and balm, but she is reluctant to use them for her and Tang Xing; Once Tang Xing secretly wiped a little, and Tang Yue smelled it, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face.

Changed your mind?

Tian Lanfang muttered in her heart.

"Mother, what about the alabaster, toothbrush and toothpaste that my sister bought for us! Mother, wash your face quickly, and rub alabaster on your face after washing; This alabaster smells good and fragrant. ”

Tian Lanfang washed her face, and Tang Xing ran out with a bunch of colorful things in his hand, with an excited face.

"Mother, my sister said, teeth have to be brushed every morning and evening! This toothpaste is mint flavored, and when you brush your teeth, it feels like blowing wind......"

"And this, my sister said it was used to wipe my hands, my mother's hands are so bad, I rub this every day, and my mother's hands are so white and tender as my sister's hands......"

Tang Xing was like a bird, chattering excitedly.

Tian Lanfang looked towards Tang Yue's hand, there was a small tube-like thing in her hand, covered with a layer of transparent plastic film, which was a unique hand care item of that era - mouth oil.

She smiled, scratching her head in embarrassment.

It's a bit embarrassing to be a mother who has to let her child greet her.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

How did Tang Yue become so generous?

Maybe it's because the new son-in-law is here.

Tian Lanfang grabbed the towel, wiped her face indiscriminately in three or two times, and took the alabaster and other items from Tang Xing's hand, so that she could make a fuss.

On weekdays, Tian Lanfang is either busy with the children or busy with the fields at home, Tian Lanfang has no time to take care of herself at all, she is only in her early thirties, and her face is ten years old.

Dressed neatly, took out a floral cotton jacket and put it on his body, Tian Lan Fangle's mouth couldn't close.

There is a diligent and capable Li Jianning at home, and he can do all the work in the family alone.

When the rice was cooked, the kang was hot, and even the two old sows in the pigsty were fed with round bellies, and were lying comfortably on the soft and wheat straw that had just been replaced.

What a good son-in-law!

If only Li Jianning could be at home every day, she muttered in her heart.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the custom of the village, the relatives of the family will gather together and go door to door to pay New Year's greetings.

The sound of firecrackers came and went, one higher than the other; The laughter of adults and children comes from the street from time to time, a happy and peaceful scene.

Tang Xing couldn't hold it back for a long time, and from the cardboard box where the clothes were placed on the kang head, he took out a flower cotton jacket and put it on his body.

Looking at Tang Xingle's appearance, Tang Yue felt strange in her heart.

The mother has no money in her hand, and even the money to buy salt has to be low and follow Tang Youde, so naturally she can't come up with the money to buy new clothes for the two sisters.

But the mother is a child again, and she changed one of her new clothes into a small padded jacket for Tang Xing.

In order to wear it for two more years, I deliberately made some small padded jackets into the big ones; The cotton jacket was worn on the thin Tang Xing, making her even thinner.

Tang Yue had some money in her hand, which Li Jianning "borrowed" to her for the New Year.

He is so empathetic, he knows that her family's money is tight; said that it was borrowed, but he just didn't want to embarrass Tang Yue.

Tang Yue won't be embarrassed!

In the previous life, she was a willful and unreasonable master, not to mention that Li Jianning "lent" her fifty yuan, even if it was given to her for free, she could take it without blushing and heartbeat.

She took fifty dollars and gave herself a headband, a bread jacket, new pants, new shoes, and bought herself two sets of underwear and underwear, Meganet face oil and shampoo.

Whether her sister and mother have new clothes to wear, she didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

"Wear new clothes and hats, and every year gets better and better!"

Tang Xing had sparse and boring dry yellow hair, and two pigtails were tied on the top of his head; It turned out that the dirty cotton jacket on his body was taken off, and Tian Lanfang's cotton jacket was put on his body.

She was so happy that she sang and kept going around the room in circles.

"We're definitely getting better and better every year! My sister will buy you beautiful skirts, beautiful cotton jackets, and delicious candy for you, and dress you up beautifully every day......"

Tang Yue turned around, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hugged Tang Xing in her arms.

In the last life, my sister died too miserably.
