Chapter 213: Spending Money in Vain
There was no sign of the little one in the yard, and the yard door was closed.
"An An!" Lin Xia shouted and stopped, Aunt Lu was still sleeping upstairs.
Thinking of Aunt Lu, Lin Xia's mind moved, would An An go upstairs?
Just as I was about to go upstairs to look again, I heard footsteps on the stairs.
Aunt Lu appeared on the stairs with An An, and Lin Xia asked with a smile, "Did An An wake you up?" I wanted you to get up and eat when you've had enough sleep. ”
"I woke up on my own." Aunt Lu shook her head and smiled, she slept well, and she didn't feel tired when she was woken up.
"That's good." Lin Xia saw that although Aunt Lu was still a little tired, she was still in good spirits, and if she wanted to recover well, she could only wait for more rest tomorrow.
"Mommy eats." The little guy hasn't seen his aunt and grandmother for a long time, and his affection is still no match for Lin Xia, so he ran to Lin Xia's side to be coquettish.
Aunt Lu watched the two of them get along naturally, feeling a little jealous but more relieved.
"Where's the kitchen? I'll help with the cooking. "Aunt Lu saw An An saying that she wanted to eat and wanted to help cook.
"The meal is ready, just wait for Lu Yuxiu to come back and start the meal, if my aunt is hungry, eat first, don't wait for him." Lin Xia thought that her aunt was hungry.
Aunt Lu thought it was the smell of the food coming from next door, but it turned out that the meal was ready.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not hungry, I'll eat when he comes back."
The couple have a good relationship, Aunt Lu is happy, but pregnant women can't be hungry, "Are you hungry?" If you're hungry, don't wait for him all the time, just leave him some food. ”
She is still pregnant with a child, and it is one thing for the husband and wife to have a good relationship, but Aunt Lu is afraid that Lin Xia will not pay attention to her body.
"I know, I ate a lot in the afternoon, and it would be fine." Lin Xia nodded and replied, Aunt Lu's concern made her heart warm.
There is never a shortage of snacks at home, she eats when she is hungry, how can she be hungry, but her aunt's concern still makes Lin Xia feel warm.
In her previous life, she had never seen the fighting between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there were several uneasy families in the family area.
The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem since ancient times, she is already very lucky to not have a mother-in-law in front of her, and the rest of her mother-in-law's family is so easy to get along with, which Lin Xia did not expect.
Lu Yuxiu hadn't seen anyone return yet, Lin Xia guessed that he had asked for temporary leave, and he was afraid that he would come back later.
got up and went to the cabinet to take out a bunch of snacks, there are dried shrimp, dried small fish, dried squid, these snacks are not full, but they can quench hunger, biscuits and peach crisp are available, but Lin Xia is afraid that he will be full and unable to eat.
And he took out the coconut and drank it as water, so that he would not feel thirsty when he ate it.
Aunt Lu looked at the small snacks on the table, picked up a piece and tasted it, remembering the specialties that Lin Xia sent home before, Grandma Lu sent some to her.
Especially the dried mango, sweet and sour, she likes it very much, and often takes it to the hospital to eat, sometimes she is busy and has no appetite to eat, and she can open her appetite by eating two pieces.
Aunt Lu immediately talked about this topic, "When I'm leaving, you take me to buy some." ”
Lin Xia was very happy when she saw that Aunt Lu liked it, and said happily: "Then I'll buy some mangoes tomorrow and come back to make them." ”
Aunt Lu was taken aback, "Didn't you buy it from the store?" ”
It turned out that when Lin Xia sent things back, he didn't say that he made them, but only said that this was a specialty of the island, so Grandma Lu always thought that Lin Xia bought it and sent it back.
"I didn't buy it, I made it myself, and An An liked it too." Lin Xia replied with a smile.
The little guy was tearing the dried squid with his little hands to eat, and when he heard Lin Xia mention her, he raised his little face, smiled cutely, and then focused on tearing the dried squid and eating.
Aunt Lu picked up the golden dried fruit in her hand and looked left and right, and said in an exaggerated tone: "You are too capable, you make it beautiful and delicious, I always thought you bought it." ”
"It's just nothing to do, it's just a fool's errand." Lin Xia smiled, she has always liked to make these small snacks, and she has nowhere to buy them, so she can only make them herself.
Aunt Lu shook her head in disapproval, "It's not a small thing to make these, what you make is delicious, just like it is sold in a store." ”
After speaking, I picked up the coconut and drank a few sips, which made Aunt Lu feel very fresh, the coconut water tasted faint, and the aftertaste was sweet, which was very greasy and thirst-quenching.
Lin Xia thought when he heard this, dried fruits in the future life are not unusual, but this will really not be sold in the store, and when he can do business, this matter can also be pondered.
In her last life, she worked as a marketing manager in a cosmetics company, responsible for publicity and advertising, and when Aunt Lu was like this, she instantly had an idea in her heart, but the timing was not right, and it would have to wait until a few years later to implement it.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being knocked on, and calculating the time, Lin Xia guessed that it was probably Lu Yuxiu who came back, lowered his head and met the little guy's eyes, and nodded with a smile.
Aunt Lu also heard a knock on the door, and when she saw that Lin Xia didn't move, she was about to ask out loud, when she saw the little guy running out in a smoke.
"Daddy!"
It didn't take long for the little milk sound to come.
When Aunt Lu heard that it was Lu Yuxiu who came back, she immediately got up and looked.
Lin Xia got up slowly, Lu Yuxiu had already walked to the door with An An in his arms, and after saying hello to his aunt, he looked at Lin Xia, and felt relieved to see that she was good, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he was always worried about it.
"Wash your hands and eat." Lin Xia made eye contact with the man, saw the worry in his eyes, and responded with a smile.
The family sat down together, Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu sat next to each other at the square table, next to the little guy, and Aunt Lu sat opposite.
Aunt Lu looked at the dishes on the table, a little surprised, this is too rich, she is very happy but afraid that she is too young to run a house, "Don't make such a sumptuous dish in the future, just cook two dishes, you are going to raise two children soon, you still have to save more." ”
She hasn't bought vegetables yet, and what she made today is no different from usual, except for an extra dish of steamed bacon with potatoes.
There is one more person, afraid that Lu Yuxiu will not have enough to eat, in addition to one dish, she also steamed some more rice, the dishes are not enough, and the rice must be full.
Lin Xia heard the meaning of the words, knowing that Aunt Lu had good intentions, and also knew that the elders of this era had suffered and starved, even if their lives were better, they still had such a frugal lifestyle.
I don't know if it's pregnant, hormones are at work, Aunt Lu said this, Lin Xia felt a faint discomfort in her heart, but it quickly dissipated.
She remembered that in later generations, when they earned money to buy things for their parents, even if their parents liked and were happy, they would still blame and say that they had spent money in vain.
