My friend was very happy when he mentioned the house last month, and there was a smile between his eyebrows, which showed that he was happy to go to the army to see his husband.

Rao Xiaoqing just wanted Yunmeng to be happy.

She thought about things thoughtfully, "When you get the meat in half a month, you may not come back, Yunmeng, or call someone from your mother-in-law's family to come and get it, right?" Anyway, our house is here. ”

Zhou Yunmeng shook his head with a smile: "Xiaoqing, thank you, but don't need to." My eldest uncle and second uncle both went out to do odd jobs, and there were few people in the family, so the meat they brought back this time was enough to eat for a while. ”

"When you rest in a month, I should be back, and I'll come back to you when the time comes."

She came to Rao Xiaoqing today mainly to talk about this matter.

The fish and meat that I usually take back, the main head is still in the supermarket, so let the Lin family come over to get it, and it is easy to expose the filling when chatting.

Rao Xiaoqing listened to this and then stopped: "It's okay, then wait for you to come back next time and come back to get it." ”

She told her that she would have a day off for the next month.

Zhou Yunmeng said that he had written it down.

The two chatted again.

When she was about to leave, Rao Xiaoqing went to the kitchen and brought out two catties of pork and put them in her back basket, Zhou Yunmeng counted the money for her, and made an appointment to see her next month.

Only then did he ride a bicycle out of the family area of the meat factory, go around to a familiar alley, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did he take the car into the supermarket.

Be the first to go to the fresh and cooked food area.

Zhou Yunmeng first went to the slaughterhouse to cut the two catties of pork from Rao Xiaoqing's house into one catty each, and weighed the right catties.

After that, I went to the duck stall and took two four-pound ducks.

She went to the grain, oil, rice and noodle area and took two catties of Fuqiang noodles each, and took two tubes of egg-flavored noodles.

Because during the slack period, the people of the Lin and Zhou families do not have to work, and naturally they do not need to buy mung beans and white sugar.

Before, it was all for the sake of the family not to suffer from heat stroke, and they endured the pain and spent money to buy it.

Zhou Yunmeng was also happy.

The candy that he said he was going to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yunmeng had already taken it in the snack and beverage area earlier.

This will be packed in a small sack that I just took from home in the morning, and it will be about two pounds.

Finally, the things of the two families were separated, so that they could be transferred with their minds later.

Zhou Yunmeng felt that there was no one in the alley, so he took the car out of the supermarket and rode a bicycle to the Fengshan production team.

Zhou family.

Mother Zhou heard her daughter shouting to herself, and quickly ran to open the door: "Xiaomeng is back." ”

She helped take the basket.

Zhou Yunmeng said hello and pushed the bicycle into the yard and parked it.

Mother Zhou saw her daughter glancing into the three houses, and she explained.

"Your brother and they went to the county town the day before yesterday to look for odd jobs, and found a temporary job as a porter in a cement factory, it will take two months, and they will go there tomorrow to work. Today, they all accompanied their daughters-in-law and children back to their parents' homes. ”

From the beginning of spring ploughing to the end of the autumn harvest, I have to go to work in the field every day, even if I have a break, I stay at home, and I don't have the spirit to go out.

Therefore, the generally married daughters have to go back to their parents' homes, or their husbands and children accompany them back, except for the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is the agricultural slack period after the autumn harvest.

I don't want to go out when it's cold in winter, and then I'm busy with the New Year.

Regarding the matter of her son taking her daughter-in-law and children back to her parents' house, Zhou's mother didn't bother to care about them, let them go, and took six eggs for one person.

The rest of her three daughters-in-law are not stupid, the candy that Xiaomeng gave them a few days ago, they love to make faces and do it themselves, and how much they take back is their own business, and she doesn't care.

Mother Zhou felt that she was open-minded enough.

If she is a bad mother-in-law, she must take back all the candy in the hands of her three daughters-in-law and put it in her cupboard.

Speaking of this, she is also happy, or Xiaomeng's in-laws, no need to go to work, half a month can go back to her mother's house to talk to her, a mother.

If the son-in-law comes back, not to mention, he will definitely come back with Xiaomeng to visit her mother-in-law.

Mother Zhou thought about it, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded and understood: "No wonder the house is so quiet, mother, let's sit in the house first, I have something to tell you." ”

When Zhou's mother heard this, she hurriedly pulled her daughter to sit in the hall and poured a glass of water.

Zhou Yunmeng drank two or three sips of water to ease down, and then said to her: "Mother, after I went back that day, I read the letter written to me by Jinping, saying that the house on the side of the army has been settled, and he doesn't need to go on a mission recently, so I asked me if I want to go over and have a look." ”

Mother Zhou was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you think of that little dream?" ”

She was afraid that her daughter didn't want to go out, and she rejected her son-in-law, no matter how understanding and considerate her son-in-law was, it was easy to hurt people if she refused many times.

But looking at the girl who talked to her about the resettlement of the house in the army a while ago, she should also like it, otherwise she wouldn't often go to the county to send a letter.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Go, I have to go and see the house I bothered to settle, I haven't seen Jinping for a long time." The next day after reading the letter, I asked the uncle who went to the county to find odd jobs to help me go to the post office to take a telegram and send it to Jinping. ”

"I'll leave the morning after tomorrow, and if he doesn't have time himself, he will arrange for someone to pick me up at the train station."

"I came here today to talk to my mother about this, I guess it will take at least ten days, mother, don't think too much about me."

When Zhou's mother heard the answer she wanted, she laughed so much that she couldn't find her eyes, and she was happy that the young couple could meet.

"Okay, well, now that the house is settled, I have to go to the army to see my son-in-law, and you two haven't seen each other for a long time. Take a telegram and say that the time is good, and you can rest assured that someone will pick up your mother over there. ”

"Don't say that you will live for more than ten days, even if you live for a month, as long as you live comfortably over there, my mother will feel at ease even if she thinks about you. If you husband and wife have a good relationship, your mother will be happy. ”

Knowing that Zhou's mother would be happy to hear the news, Zhou Yunmeng smiled and nodded.

Mother Zhou pulled her to ask some things again, especially what to bring over, which was similar to what Mother Lin asked.

Do you want to bring quilts and pillows, Zhou Yunmeng said that they are all prepared over there.

When he heard that he wanted to bring mushrooms, he said: "We also have a basket here, and I went to the mountains to pick them after the rain before, and they are all dried, so you can take them to the army." ”

Zhou Yunmeng hurriedly shook her head and said no, her mother-in-law had already gone to the mountains to pick up a basket of dried ones, and she couldn't bring any more.

Hearing that she wanted to bring the candy she bought, Zhou's mother also agreed.

"Xiaomeng, you just moved in, and those who live around are the families of comrades-in-arms of the Jinping Army, don't talk about how you get along in the future, you always have to see each other first, and the main reason for buying candy here is to make it convenient."

"Anyway, when you go to the train station here, your uncle will send them over, and someone will pick you up when you get there, so you don't have to bother."

Mother Zhou is satisfied with this.

The in-laws took the initiative to say that when the time came, let the eldest son or the second son ride a bicycle to send Xiaomeng to the train station, which should be.

You must know that Xiaomeng went to the army to see their third son, otherwise would it be such a toss.

Zhou's mother explained: "Xiaomeng, when you pack up your clothes, remember to bring some thick and thin ones, and the weather in the northwest will not change much, but don't be hot and frozen without clothes to wear." ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Mother, I know, I also told me in the letter from Jinping, it's more dry over there, and I'll bring my usual wipe of my face and hands over when the time comes." ”

The two talked about these things for a while.

The mother of the child is worried, Xiaomeng goes out for the first time, although she goes to her son-in-law's army, Zhou's mother always has endless questions.

Zhou Yunmeng patiently talked to her.

After finally finishing talking about going to the army, Zhou Yunmeng pulled over the back basket, lifted the coarse cloth covering his head and said.

"Mother, this time I helped my family buy a four-pound duck, and that pound of pork, a pound of Fuqiang flour and a tube of egg-flavored noodles are counted as fine grains I gave you to eat."

"I may not be able to come back in half a month, and I haven't asked my classmates to help keep the meat, so you can keep it and eat it slowly. However, my brother and the others will go to work and will not be at home until they come back occasionally, so this meat should be enough for you to eat for a while. ”

Mother Zhou was sad when she heard it: "Xiaomeng, you said that you went out to see your son-in-law live in a new house, just go happily, and worry about what to do so much." ”

"I didn't have your help to buy meat before, didn't my family live like this, you can rest assured."

She pointed to the catty of rich and strong flour and the tube of dried noodles and said, "Mother's side still has it in the cabinet, if you don't bring these fine grains to the army, if your son-in-law is not free for training, it is convenient for you to cook dishes and noodles at home." ”

Zhou Yunmeng shook his head with a smile: "Mother, you can take it, these are specially bought for you to eat." I've bought a lot of noodles myself, and I'm going to take them with me. ”

"That's good, Xiaomeng, you just have your own plans."

Zhou's mother accepted it with peace of mind, and went to count the money for four catties of duck meat and gave it to her daughter.

She went to the kitchen again and picked up twelve eggs and put them in a small bamboo basket and brought them over, "Xiaomeng, since your mother-in-law has prepared mushrooms, my mother will bring you twelve eggs, and it is good for you to bring over there to steam an egg custard." ”

Zhou Yunmeng just wanted to shake his head and said no.

I heard Zhou's mother say, "Recently, the farmer has saved a lot of eggs at home, and I have eaten less, I also gave your three sisters-in-law six eggs to take back today, and it is not too much to give you twelve." ”

"You can rest assured when you take it, and it's convenient to have eggs steamed with egg custard or scrambled eggs to eat."

There are three chickens at home, and there is an egg every day, and the autumn harvest will be fried two a day, so there will be no need to eat eggs every day, and Zhou's mother has really saved a lot.

Zhou Yunmeng accepted it with a smile: "Okay, then thank you, mother, you are really thoughtful." I'm sure I'll not be hungry when I get there, so you can rest assured. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhou Yunmeng went out with a bamboo basket on his back and a bag on his back.

Zhou's mother explained: "Xiaomeng, you have to be careful when you set off the day after tomorrow, take good care of the package, put the money in the inner pocket of the sewn clothes, don't care about other people's affairs, and don't care about people talking to you." ”

"Mother can't go to see you off that day, you pay attention to safety alone."

Zhou Yunmeng heard a little sour, she raised the corners of her mouth and said: "Mother, I remember everything, you can rest assured, when I get over there, I will let Jinping take a telegram and come back to report your safety." ”

In other words, Zhou's mother may feel sorry for money, every word of the telegram is expensive, but if you send a letter, you have to wait at least three or four days, she is afraid that she will be anxious when the time comes, and she will worry about this and that.

She nodded in response and explained: "Just report safety, don't say anything else, my mother will be at ease." ”

Zhou Yun dreamed that she smiled, so he left on his bicycle.

Zhou's mother stood at the door and watched her daughter ride away, and the back that gradually disappeared had the reluctance that she had a long time ago.

She told herself that it was a good thing for her daughter to go to the army to see her son-in-law, she was there to live a good life, and the longer she lived, the better, and she would always come back.

Back to Lin's house.

Zhou Yunmeng made it clear to Mother Lin about the things in the back basket, and also said that he was not at home recently, and he might not be able to come back to buy fish and meat in half a month.

Mother Lin also said the same thing as Mother Zhou: "Third daughter-in-law, you can go to the army with peace of mind, the longer you live, the better, I'm still happy." ”

"You don't have to worry about things at home, it's okay for us to eat less meat, we used to live like this. Besides, the eldest and second will go to the county to do work next, and these meats are now cooler and easier to put away, and they can be eaten for a while. ”

Zhou Yunmeng responded, took the small sack of candy in the package to Mother Lin, and asked her to put the candy, the tube of egg noodles, and the twelve eggs given by Mother Zhou back together, anyway, they were all eaten.

Mother Lin smiled: "Okay, my mother-in-law really has a heart, and I even thought of the convenience of steaming egg custard with eggs." The third daughter-in-law, you are also smart, and it is convenient to bring a handful of noodles to boil when you want to eat them. ”

"Go back and add eighteen eggs to the house, make up thirty, I'll see how to wrap it better, if it is broken on the road, it will be distressing to death, and it will be difficult to clean up."
