Chapter Forty-Eight: Celebrating the Spring Festival Together (End of the Volume)

Yu Mu's mother and daughter have the same habit, after eating dinner and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they have to take a bath first, and the mother is to wash away the smell of kitchen fireworks and food. Warm-color-small-talk-net nsxs.

After the mother finished washing, it was her daughter's turn to wash, Yu Mu's mother cleaned up after the bath, made a few cups of tea, sat with Lao Yutou, and prepared to chat with Lao Mai face-to-face.

said that it was a chat, and Lao Mai seemed to feel that it was actually a formal conversation.

I saw Yu Mu's mother hesitate for a while, then said with a smile: "Wheat, you can come today, Auntie is very happy, there are some words in my heart, I always want to take them out and say it." ”

Lao Mai smiled: "Auntie, you say." ”

Yu Mu's mother then said slowly: "Mu Mu always liked to play with you when she was a child, and you spoiled her very much, plus this dead old man, he loves to talk nonsense all day long, Mu Mu has only had you in her heart since she was a child, and now, now she is in a very bad physical condition, do you know this?"

Lao Mai Zhengse nodded and said: "I know this, not long ago I also took her to Wanjin Road Hospital for examination, and I also learned about the past condition, I am familiar with an old Chinese medicine doctor who has a very good medical Tao, and I have made a long-term recuperation plan with him, and I am doing physical conditioning." ”

I heard him say that he had been to Wanjin Road Hospital and knew his previous condition, but at this time, Lao Yutou, who was surprisingly silent on the side, had his eyes wide open behind his glasses.

"You, you know it all?"

Lao Mai smiled and nodded: "I know everything, Miki also told me the ins and outs of the matter," he is still used to calling Yu Mu "Miki" in front of the old Yu Tou and his wife.

Suddenly, the old Yutou couple gasped together, glanced at each other, and felt that there was a feeling of uneasiness spreading between them.

Lao Mai Zhengse said: "Whether it is congenital or acquired, it is not Miki's fault, I told her, uh, promised, even if I can't have children in the future, I will raise her as a child until she is old." ”

Old Yutou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded silently.

Yu Mu's mother felt that her vision was blurred for a while, and she reached out to take off her gold-wire glasses, only to see that her eyes were already full of tears and were about to burst out.

Lao Yutou hurriedly handed her an old handkerchief, in this era when tissues are very popular, the older generation is still used to using handkerchiefs.

Yu Mu's mother took the handkerchief, wiped her tears and nose, put her glasses back, lowered her head and whispered: "Wheat, auntie, I thank you, thank you for not disliking Mu Mu." ”

Lao Mai smiled and said: "Actually, if two people are together, if they don't have children, they will be more affectionate, and the Dink family is also a fashion." ”

I saw that Lao Yutou was stunned and said: "Wheat, don't you mean that after Uncle Yu and your aunt and I have a child, the two of us always love to be angry with each other, right?"

Yu Mu's mother glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and before she could speak, she heard a Lolita voice from the bathroom: "What are you angry about?"

Old Yutou's face immediately turned cloudy and smiled and groaned, and he said in a loud voice: "No, no, let's laugh together, for the New Year, how can anyone be angry, and I will be angry." ”

Lao Mai raised his eyes to look, but saw that Yu Mu, who was thin, walked out of the bathroom door wearing only a set of cartoon pajamas.

When Yu Mu's mother saw that her baby daughter was wearing so little to come out, she hurriedly scolded her and drove her back to the room to add clothes.

In this southern city, there is no central heating in winter, there is no radiator installed at home, and the weather is too cold, so you either use electric heaters or grill a charcoal fire in the cage.

From New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, it is the coldest time of the year, when people's income is still very low, and there are not many families who can afford to use air conditioning and heating.

At that time, the temperature in the room had always been relatively low, and no one paid attention to the hot atmosphere during the meal just now, and after the meal, Lao Yutou and his wife had something in their hearts and ignored it, and Lao Mai has now cultivated to the point where the cold and heat are not invaded, and it doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold.

Old Yu sneered and said, "Look, I forgot to turn on the electric heater." ”

As he spoke, he went to move out an electric heater that shook his head and had a reflective surface, and put it in the middle of the hall to plug in and turn it on.

Since Yu Mu had already come out of the shower, he sat down next to Lao Mai wrapped in a down jacket, and talked chirpingly, the heavy topic of Fang Cai had long since ceased to exist.

Everyone chatted for a while about the demolition and rebuilding of the old dormitory area of the original factory, saying that it was almost the same as the demolition compensation and relocation, and after this Spring Festival, you can find a place to relocate, and the faster the demolition and relocation, the sooner you will rebuild, the faster you will naturally move back to the new home.

Because it was impossible to arrange temporary housing for temporary housing, the dormitory management committee under the jurisdiction of the community won a monthly rental subsidy of 450 yuan, which was equivalent to the monthly retirement salary of an old worker at that time.

These houses in the dormitory area are less than five stories high, can not carry out housing reform, always pay rent to rent, in disrepair has long been a dangerous house, this time into the transformation, then the time to move back to spend money to buy, the economic cramped has always been the most scratching head of the old Yutou.

Now Lao Mai has promised to move back and buy a house in the future, if the money is not enough, he can pay all the money, plus the empty house on the side of the old dormitory of the former Planning Commission cadres, they can immediately move to live temporarily, and there is no need to rent another house, and the rental subsidy of several hundred yuan will go directly into their pockets.

Lao Yutou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and praised proudly: "The virtuous son-in-law's kind deed won my heart, you see, admire my original gaze like a torch, no, just wanted to doze off and sent a pillow, it's really kind and rewarding, wahaha." ”

As soon as Yu Mu's mother heard his nonsense, she immediately darkened her face and secretly scolded this thing for being really shameless, and she would calculate to exchange her daughter for benefits all day long.

The family of four chatted casually, talked and laughed, until half past nine, Lao Mai said goodbye and went back.

If you don't go back, it's not convenient to stay overnight in this house, this small second room is smaller than the area of Lao Mai's suite, the two mothers live in one room, Yu Mu lives in one room by herself, it is impossible to sleep with her.

Yu Mu's parents are very satisfied with Lao Mai's personality, and there is a small thing that proves that his character is trustworthy.

Since Yu Mu clearly kept up with Lao Mai for a month, no matter how late the time was, she would go back to her house to sleep every night, never staying outside, and her relationship with Lao Mai seemed to be limited to the actions between brother and sister, at most playing a little ambiguous.

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and at noon Lao Mai went to a restaurant that was still open during the Spring Festival and invited Yu Mu's family to eat a group of New Year wine.

Because his parents have passed away, he can't arrange for the two parents to meet, so he took this opportunity to entertain his parents to his in-laws, which can be regarded as a return to his parents' wish for him to form a family again.

Originally, his sister and brother-in-law could be regarded as his elders, but it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and they had no time to arrange store duty and family holidays, so Lao Mai had to act as the sole agent of his parents in the spirit of heaven to entertain the future in-laws.

After eating this meal, Lao Mai sent his future parents-in-law home, and then drove back to the old house in the town with Yu Mu, ready to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve with his sister's family.

At night, in front of the old house, a long row of cannons was fired, and the family toasted to the Spring Festival in its happy and steaming atmosphere, and had a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Niece Sasha took a few bites at the end, swallowed the food in her bowl, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, pulled Yu Mu's sleeve and said, "Sister, hurry up and eat, after eating, we will go out to watch people set off fireworks." ”

When Sister Mai heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and shouted: "What sister, no big or small, you have to call Auntie." ”

Sasha muttered, "She is not a few years older than me, she looks similar to me, and she is so old to call her aunt." ”

Lao Mai said leisurely: "This is a matter of generation, Sasha, haven't you heard of 'grandpa in the cradle, grandson on crutches'?"

Sasha flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I can't call it, so it's better to call my aunt directly." ”

Old McHaha smiled: "Aha, it's right to call your aunt, anyway, you will always call it in the future." ”

Sasha snorted and said, "Then I won't call anything now, hey, we're going to watch people set off fireworks." ”

Lao Mai then smiled and said, "It seems that someone doesn't want to take a plane to play." ”

"Ahh ”

Lao Mai said from his nose: "Hmph, if you don't respect the old and love the young, Uncle Ben won't take her on a plane to play." ”

Sasha hurriedly said: "I called, can't I call it, auntie, aunt, I called it all." ”

Lao Mai still pretended to say: "Well, this sincerity is not enough." ”

Sasha was dumbfounded, and pouted, "It's not enough, then, how do you call it?"

Lao Mai raised his right thumb and pointed to the back of his neck.

Sasha understood this time, so she had to walk behind Lao Mai dejectedly and raise her hand to help him massage his shoulders.

Lao Mai is now a pure muscular man, the muscles on his shoulders are like knots, Sasha's slender hands can be massaged, and he pinched a few times with great effort, making his fingers sore.

Sasha didn't press for a while, then she was so tired that she shook her wrist, and asked carefully: "Uncle, let's do this, it's been an hour." ”

Only then did it press a few times, and it was an hour, and the little girl would not only cut corners, but also clear the door, and Lao Mai smiled and said, "Reluctantly count you through." ”

Sasha whispered again, "So, can I go on a plane tomorrow?"

Lao Mai sighed and said: "I bought all the tickets, it's not easy to refund them." ”

"Yay-" Sasha realized that Lao Mai was scaring her, jumped up and pulled Yu Mu's sleeve again, "Little aunt, let's go and watch people set off fireworks." ”

Yu Mu, who was sitting next to Lao Mai, was already so embarrassed by this conversation that she blushed, lowered her head and was snickering, and she stood up for Sasha unexpectedly.

So, the two chicks, who looked almost the same age, ran downstairs together to go out to play. (Prequel Volume 1 Finale)
