When Cao Shujie accompanied his daughter to play in the yard downstairs, Cheng Xiaolin was answering the phone upstairs.

The call was from her mother, Li Xiaojuan.

Li Xiaojuan told her daughter on the phone that she had just taken a long-distance bus from the Dawu County Bus Station to the Pingyuan County Bus Station.

After arriving at the long-distance bus station in Pingyuan County, she took the urban and rural bus in Caojiazhuang.

"Mom, it's still snowing heavily, what are you doing here at this time?" Cheng Xiaolin really didn't expect her mother to come over today.

"What do you say, you kid?" Li Xiaojuan said on the phone that she was a daughter.

"You're pregnant, it's such a big deal, I have to go over and take a look."

"Then I'll tell Shujie and ask him to go to the county seat and wait for you." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Her mother doesn't know how to drive, and the family doesn't have a car, so she has to reverse several buses to make a trip, and the two places are actually not that far, but time is wasted on the way to reverse.

"No, I can just take the bus to your village, it's very convenient." Li Xiaojuan emphasized.

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't listen: "It's snowing heavily here, I don't know if the car will run or not after a while?" ”

"Ah, isn't it snowing in our house?"

"It's also down, but it's not big, Linlin, the car is out of the station, I won't tell you." Li Xiaojuan hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Cheng Xiaolin opened the window and shouted her husband's name downward.

Cao Shujie raised his head: "Wife, what's wrong?" ”

"Shujie, my mother just called and said that she just took a bus from the Dawu County Bus Station to the Pingyuan County Bus Station, I thought that the snow was too big, and the bus might not be able to run at that time, so you go to the bus station to pick her up." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Before Cao Shujie could speak, Wang Yuelan directly instructed his son: "Shujie, hurry up and wait for your mother at the station, Linlin is right, don't let your mother reverse back and forth." ”

"Well, I'll go." Cao Shujie nodded and agreed.

He didn't expect his mother-in-law to come at this time.

But he can understand why his mother-in-law came, eighty percent of it has something to do with his wife's pregnancy.

After thinking about it, Cao Shujie went back to the house to change clothes, took the car keys, said to his grandfather, pushed open the door and came out, and saw Mengmeng running towards him: "Mengmeng, you wait at home, I'll pick up your grandma." ”

Who knew that Mengmeng said that she also wanted to go, and blocked the door and threatened that her father would not take her words with her and would not let her father go.

"Then you go and change your clothes, put on a thick one, and I'll warm up the car and wait for you first." Cao Shujie said.

"yes." Meng Meng quickly ran to the 2nd floor.

For fear that the change of clothes would be slow, my father slipped away first, and when she changed clothes, she also urged her mother to move faster.

"Mom, hurry up, Dad is running away, and I can't pick up Grandma." Meng Meng urged.

Cheng Xiaolin really wanted to slap her daughter, but the bear child never stopped with a mouth.

"Mengmeng, tell your father, drive slower on the road, don't be in a hurry." Cheng Xiaolin patiently taught her daughter.

Meng Meng stretched out two fingers and said, "Oh, don't worry, Mom." ”

After finishing speaking, Mengmeng ran downstairs and came to the door, her father had not left yet, and a bright smile appeared on her little face.

Seeing Meng Meng come out, Cao Shujie opened the electric door and let Meng Meng go up.

"Mengmeng, you fasten your seatbelts, let's go." Cao Shujie instructed his daughter.

Meng Meng also conveyed her mother's words and asked her father to drive slowly.

The snow is not small, and there are few people going out at this time, so Cao Shujie is not in a hurry and drives slowly.

Besides, in the current situation, the speed of the car cannot be raised.

When he is about to turn a corner, Cao Shujie will slow down in advance and slowly step on the brakes, that's it, sometimes the brakes can't be stepped on.

He knew it was because the ground was too slippery.

Normally, it takes half an hour to drive from Caojiazhuang to the county seat, and 50 minutes is enough when the weather is bad.

But this time, when Cao Shujie drove to the county bus station, an hour and a half passed.

This is still a small number of cars on the road, and it has been running smoothly all the way.

When he came to the parking area of the bus station, Cao Shujie stopped the car and called his mother-in-law, only to know that the car was still on the way.

The bus was slower than Mr. Cao's, and in the words of his mother-in-law, it would take them an hour to get into the station.

Cao Shujie hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, parked the car, and took his daughter into the waiting room to warm up.

The father and daughter waited slowly, and after more than 40 minutes, his mother-in-law called again, and when Cao Shujie answered, his mother-in-law's bus entered the Pingyuan County bus station, and she had just gotten off the bus.

Before Cao Shujie could ask where his mother-in-law was, Mengmeng had already pointed to the entrance and shouted: "Dad, look, it's grandma." ”

Cao Shujie looked in the direction of his daughter's finger, and happened to see his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan carrying a fertilizer bag on her back and a canvas bag on her other arm, struggling to make a phone call with her mobile phone in her hand.

The weight of the object pressed her waist and couldn't straighten it.

Cao Shujie hurriedly hung up the phone and ran over to help pick up the fertilizer bag on his mother-in-law's back: "Mom, you don't say a word when you come, I'll pick you up." ”

"Besides, come on, what are you doing with so many things, the weather is not good, and it is troublesome to walk with things on your back." Cao Shujie said softly.

Mengmeng didn't care about it, she had already run to Li Xiaojuan's side, hugging Li Xiaojuan's legs and shouting grandma.

Li Xiaojuan bent down to pick up her granddaughter, the tiredness on her face disappeared instantly, and a smile spread all over her face.

She said: "It's all for children, and I just have it at home, so I will take it all, so that you don't have to spend money to buy it when the child is born, except for waste, it's useless at all." ”

"In addition, there is a little bit of vegetables grown at home, which have not been medicated, and your father and I can't eat them, so we will bring some." Li Xiaojuan patted the fertilizer bag.

When Cao Shujie took it just now, he realized how heavy the contents of the fertilizer bag were, and it was also thanks to his mother-in-law that he carried it along the way.

"Mom, hurry up, let's get in the car and go home first." Cao Shujie walked out with a fertilizer bag.

Mengmeng took her grandmother Li Xiaojuan's hand and asked Li Xiaojuan to follow her out.

At this time, I only heard the loudspeaker in the lobby of the waiting room shouting: "Passengers, I am very sorry, because of the heavy snow, the road is dangerous, this station has decided to suspend the bus to the villages after temporary research." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry ......."

I repeated what I had just said.

As soon as he finished speaking, all kinds of dissatisfied shouts rang out in the hall.

Li Xiaojuan was also stunned when she heard the shouting on the loudspeaker.

Secretary Cao was also a little lucky: "Fortunately, I came, this car is out of service, and it's quite troublesome." ”

"No, the snow on our side is not so heavy, who knows that the more we go this way, the heavier the snow falls, and the bus on the road is very slow, skidding all the time, and it can't stop when going downhill." Li Xiaojuan told her son-in-law about the thrill of this journey, and she was also a little scared.

But then again, if his son-in-law hadn't come, Li Xiaojuan would have to find a place to live temporarily in the county today.

came to the back parking place, put things in the trunk, let his mother-in-law and Mengmeng get on the car and sit in the second row of seats, and Cao Shujie drove the car to the outside of the station.

As soon as he came to the door, Cao Shujie vaguely heard someone outside calling him Director Cao.

Subconsciously stepped on the brakes, Cao Shujie opened the car window and looked out, only to find that it was Gao Qiang, Gao Long and Sun Caifeng from the same village.

"Why are you here?" Cao Shujie was quite puzzled.

Gao Qiang was still a little embarrassed: "Director Cao, we have something to do to go to the city, just returned, who knows that the car will not go to the village, just now I said that this is your car......"

Cao Shujie understood what he meant, and he opened the electric door: "You guys get in the car and go back together." ”

The three of them were embarrassed, but thanked them again.

They also asked the taxi just now, and even the taxi doesn't run to the village in this damn weather.

Seeing that there was an old man and a young man in the car, Sun Caifeng and Mengmeng said hello, and they all ran to the back seats.

Cao Shujie also wanted to let them sit in the co-pilot, and the three of them were embarrassed.

The car slowly walked out, Cao Shujie and Gao Qiang were talking, and the speed of driving was not fast.

At this time, the snow had not stopped, and Gao Long also said that the snow was really not small, and there would be a bumper harvest in the orchard next year.

Gao Qiang is also a little glad that the newly built cowshed has a good thermal insulation effect.

"Director Cao and Secretary Cao are prescient, although the newly built cowshed this year costs a little more, but it can take care of things, if it is still the kind of open air before, such a small cow may not be able to carry it."

"You know what? Our previous bull market also had a closed place to keep warm, that is, the cattle squeezed it. ”

Cao Shujie also nodded when he heard them say this.

Talking and laughing along the way, Cao Shujie was engrossed, looking ahead, the speed of the car was slower than when he came, and it took more than two hours to arrive at Caojiazhuang.

Cao Shujie also thought about sending Gao Long and the three of them home, and the three of them were in the north of the village, so they were embarrassed to let Cao Shujie stop.

Cheng Xiaolin was relieved to see that her husband had finally returned.

"Mom, look at the weather, you can choose a good day to come." Cheng Xiaolin muttered.

Or Wang Yuelan said: "Mother-in-law, are you tired, you are hungry after sitting in the car for so long, my freshly fried chicken, stewed pig's trotters and pork ribs, you eat some while it is hot." ”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law still wanted to speak, Wang Yuelan said: "Linlin, don't stand still, sit down and rest for a while, and make your mother a brown sugar ginger tea to dispel the cold." ”

Cao Shujie unloaded the things his mother-in-law brought and put them in the house.

After Wang Yuelan saw it, she complained that her mother took so many things.

"It's all at home, don't be so tired." Wang Yuelan said.

"Alas, I also heard that Linlin is pregnant, and there are still some diapers and cotton gaskets at home, I thought that after the child was born, it was just right to use it, so I brought it all over, eldest sister, you can use it if you can use it, and throw it away if you can't use it." Li Xiaojuan said so.

After Wang Yuelan heard it, she said directly: "It must be used, when Linlin is about to give birth, I will enlarge the pot and boil it with hot water, diapers and diapers are much easier to use than diapers, and the breathability is good, and it is not red." ”

Cao Shujie thought to himself that he couldn't compare to the details of his mother's life in his life.

asked his mother-in-law to wash up first, Cao Shujie put down his things, and had already gone to the kitchen to serve the prepared dishes.

Mother Wang Yuelan's chicken fried with fresh peppers.

Stewed pig's trotters, and potatoes stewed with pork ribs.

Fragrant.

Because it was made in advance, it was not so hot, but it was just right to eat at this temperature.

"Mother-in-law, you drink a cup of hot water first, and then eat something." Wang Yuelan took the cup and poured a cup of hot water, and was busy greeting her mother.
