In the afternoon, Cui Lanhua's mother and daughter just entered the house and enjoyed the intimate service of the two daughters.

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan took the towels they took out to wash, and the other brought them water to wash their hands.

"Mother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, you have worked hard, you wash your hands and drink water first, the rice is cooking, after a while, the sixth sister and I will fry the vegetables and then eat, let's eat chicken feather vegetables tonight." Xu Shuxin said.

More than a month has passed, and some of the vegetables grown in their own fields are now edible, such as water spinach and chicken hair, so now the vegetables on their dinner table are no longer wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables are also delicious, but they can be eaten every day.

Cui Lanhua washed her hands and said, "Thank you Yanyan and Xinxin." ”

She felt that since her daughter went to school, the family began to pay attention to it, that is, ...... It's a little more cultured.

After washing their hands, Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuyue went into the hall to drink water.

They also brought water with them when they went to work, but there was only one kettle, and they had already drunk all the water they contained, and now they were all thirsty.

Xu Shuxin also followed Xu Shuyan to put the towel in the bucket and scrub it.

As soon as I finished washing and was about to go into the kitchen to stir-fry, I heard Uncle Xu shouting outside, "Third brother and sister, are you back?" Come with me to the old house, my mother is not good! ”

Uncle Xu's tone was very anxious.

If it weren't for the courtyard door of Xu Shuxin's house being locked from the inside, she would have pushed the door in a long way ago.

And at the moment when she spoke, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, who were originally fighting leisurely in the yard, immediately stopped fighting and shouted outside.

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan glanced at each other, Xu Shuyan stayed next to the bamboo pole and continued to dry towels, while Xu Shuxin walked quickly to the courtyard gate.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei also followed behind her, and they had the posture of rushing out of the door as soon as she opened the door.

"Little yellow and little black, stop screaming."

Xu Shuxin said to them, and then opened the courtyard door.

At this time, Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuyue also came to the door.

As soon as the door opened, Uncle Xu first glanced at Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei in surprise, and then hurriedly said, "Third brother and sister, hurry, come with me, my mother is going to die." ”

Cui Lanhua was shocked, "How come?" Wasn't it good before my mother? ”

"I don't know, don't say it, let's go first, and a few girls will go over together." Uncle Xu urged.

Cui Lanhua didn't dare to delay, and said while taking the lead in walking out of the door: "Yueyue, you guys go too, Yueyue, remember to lock the door." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Xu Shuyue to be a few, and hurriedly followed behind Uncle Xu.

None of the Xu Shuxin sisters were in a hurry, waiting for Xu Shuyan to hang up the last towel and walk out, and Xu Shuyue closed the courtyard door.

Xu Shuyu said: "You say, why is the milk suddenly bad? ”

Xu Shuyan pursed her lips and guessed: "Could it be that after hearing the news of the fourth uncle and Xu Guangzhong, he was so angry that he couldn't hold on?" ”

The fifth sister Xu Shurou said sarcastically: "Is it really possible, the milk is really a baby her little son, he was really sent to labor camp and not dead, is it necessary to be so excited?" ”

Xu Shuxin said, "Maybe we'll know the real reason when we go over there." ”

"Then let's go." Xu Shuyu said excitedly.

And Cui Lanhua, who had already taken the first step with Uncle Xu, was also asking Yujuan, "Is my mother really that serious?" Xinxin's father hasn't come back yet, if ......"

If you come back late, you might not even see your mother-in-law for the last time.

Uncle Xu also knew this problem and said, "Your eldest brother has already gone to the commune, the second brother has also gone to several uncles' houses, and the eldest of my family has gone to my aunt's house." ”

Hearing this, Cui Lanhua stopped talking.

The two walked in silence.

Cui Lanhua and Concubine Yu entered the Xu family's old house first, and Xu Shuxin's sisters also came in.

When they arrived, there were already many people gathered in front of Mrs. Xu's bed, including the big house, the second room, the fourth room, and the close relationship in the clan.

Seeing this, Xu Shuxin and several sisters did not squeeze in.

The house was really small, and it was full of people, they didn't want to squeeze with those people, and Mrs. Xu had never liked their sisters, and she didn't want to see them before she died.

In the commune state-run restaurant, in the back kitchen, Xu Qingmu is stir-frying.

After more than a month of hard work, he has learned some simple recipes.

However, Dongxing Commune is only a small commune, and there are not many people who come to eat in state-run restaurants, and the dishes served on weekdays are not too complicated.

At this time, there were only two or three people waiting outside to eat, so the back kitchen was not busy, and Zhao Dashan didn't even have to do it himself, he just watched Xu Qingmu stir-fry on the side, and gave a few words from time to time.

Xu Qingmu finally stir-fried a few times, poured the fried rice noodles with shredded green pepper and pork in the pot into the plate, and said: Uncle Zhao, it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, will you go to my house? My house is lively, and it's not interesting to save you from being alone.

It's August 12, and it's August 15 in two days, a festival for the whole family.

Thinking that Zhao Dashan was too lonely, Xu Qingmu discussed it with his family and invited Zhao Dashan to go to his house for the holiday.

It's not cold now, so it's okay to stay at home for one night.

Listening to Xu Qingmu's words, Zhao Dashan was a little moved.

He hasn't celebrated the holidays with anyone for many years, and every time he is alone at home, he is also envious of watching other families reunite.

It's a pity that his father and mother and brother were gone during the war, and he also injured his roots in the war, so he never got married all his life, and he has always been alone.

met Xu Qingmu's family by chance, and accepted Xu Qingmu as an apprentice, he regarded Xu Qingmu as a son, otherwise he would not have been denied the money to buy a job.

"Won't it be inconvenient?" Zhao Dashan asked.

Xu Qingmu smiled: "Uncle, it's not inconvenient, it's just that I might have to trouble you to sleep in the hall for one night, don't you mind?" ”

Zhao Dashan shook his head, "I don't mind, I think back then, when we were fighting, we fell directly to the ground and fell asleep, who cares if there is a bed or not......"

"Uncle Xu, someone is looking for you!" The voice of Liu Qiuxiang, a waiter at the hotel, came in from outside.

Zhao Dashan immediately changed the conversation and urged him, "Go and see if something happened at home?" I'll do the rest. ”

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Zhao." Xu Qingmu said quickly, and then hurried outside.

When he saw Uncle Xu, Xu Qingmu was still surprised, "Big brother? Why did you come here to find me? ”

Xu Qingmu guessed in his heart: Don't be the eldest brother still thinking about my job, right?

"The third child will go back with me, my mother will die."

"What?" Xu Qingmu was even more surprised, and quickly reacted, "Big brother, wait for me, I'll take a leave and go back with you." ”
