"This is Hua Hua's box. It contains all his things. You have to be careful when pushing it, so as not to be damaged by others."
After hearing what his mother said, Su Xiaomeng turned around and noticed that there was a little boy following behind her.
"Hua Hua? I remember that the third brother didn't seem to have such a son."
"He is the son of your third brother's friend. He was afraid that Jin Bao would be bullied by Xiao Wu when he returned to the village, so he came with him."
After hearing what her mother said, Su Xiaomeng couldn't help laughing, "Oh, my niece has a little husband to accompany her at such a young age."
Xiao Jinbao's face turned red and he said in a sweet voice, "No, it's Pigeon..."
"Hahaha, uncle is joking with you, Jinbao will be shy at such a young age."
Grandma Jinbao said with a smile: "My granddaughter is amazing. She is already able to reason at such a young age. If she hadn't persuaded her mother, would Jianmin and his wife be willing to let her come to the countryside?"
She praised her granddaughter as the most precious baby and the reincarnation of a lucky star.
"Mom, don't say this in the village. This is feudal superstition and a sign of backward thinking, do you understand?"
"What kind of feudal superstition is this? Don't refer to feudal superstition for everything. Some things are just so mysterious that no one can explain them clearly."
Su Xiaomeng didn't want to argue with his mother, "Okay, okay, but just talk about this at home and don't say it everywhere anymore."
"Who in the village doesn't know that our old Su family's daughter is a lucky star? When your mother and I gave birth to you, everyone in the village was laughing, saying that the Su family could only give birth to sons, and only a daughter could be born unless the iron tree blossomed."
"How many years ago was that? Nowadays, we don't want to talk about people's fortune and disaster. If you continue to talk nonsense now, the village chief will come over to provide advanced ideological education to our family."
Li Xiu'e waved her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll just leave it alone. Look at how nervous you are."
"I am most afraid of the old village chief's nagging. Once he nags me, he can nag me all night long."
All the way out of the train station, they walked towards the bus station.
The bus station is not far from the train station.
Carrying a lot of luggage, Su Xiaomeng walked to the window and bought a ticket to return to his hometown from the salesperson.
Because the roads were not repaired, the ground was uneven and full of potholes, making the car extremely bumpy.
The tired Jin Bao fell asleep, and not long after, Yao Hua also fell asleep leaning on Su Xiaomeng's body.
Su Xiaomeng protected Xiao Huahua with his big hands, fearing that he might accidentally fall out of the chair.
"By the way, Xiaomeng, why are you here to pick us up? Didn't the letter ask your eldest brother to come?" Li Xiu'e couldn't help but ask her son.
Su Xiaomeng is her youngest son. He is twenty-five years old and has not yet married.
He is hard-working and capable, and now works as a breeder in the production team, raising four types of livestock: cattle, mules, horses and donkeys.
Xiaomeng's advantage is that he is hardworking, but his disadvantage is that he is too honest and is not lazy enough to steal.
He did all the hard and heavy work in the team, and as a result he earned the same amount of work points as other workers.
"Does the team have to deduct work points for asking for leave? How many points will be deducted per day?" Li Xiu'e asked.
"Ten points will be deducted. I will deduct 20 points for asking for two days, and I won't have any share in the food distribution at the end of the month."
Su Xiaomeng didn't complain in a tone when he said this, he was just answering his mother's question.
"Why did you ask for two days?" As soon as she asked, Li Xiu'e realized it herself.
It takes a day to get out of the village, so don't you have to take leave yesterday and take two days off?
"Luckily you guys arrived in the morning, otherwise it would have been tomorrow to take the bus back to the village, and I would have to make up for one day off, and I would have to deduct ten points."
"Oh," Li Xiu'e said distressedly, "I know your work points will be deducted if you ask for leave, so I asked your eldest brother to come. You haven't answered me yet. Why are you here?"
Su Xiaomeng frowned, as if he didn't know how to answer his mother's question.
"Is your eldest brother not wanting to pick us up because it's a long way to go? He's such a lazy guy! I'm really spoiled by him."
"The eldest brother said he had a stomachache, but I don't know if it was real or fake." Su Xiaomeng didn't like his eldest brother very much.
His favorite is the third brother.
The third brother is a college graduate and a senior engineer in a machinery factory. He is different from these illiterate farmers.
Because of his admiration for his third brother, Su Xiaomeng was particularly fond of his son Xiaowu.
Now that his third brother and his daughter have returned to live in the village, he can't help but feel happy.
"Mom, whose house is Jinbao staying in? Our house is leaky, but the north house where my eldest brother lives is better."
Xiao Wu now lives in the South House, living in the same house as his grandparents.
That house was humid in spring and hot in summer...
It was a windy day and it rained heavily. The south house was also the first house to be soaked by the heavy rain. Even though the roof had been repaired countless times, it still leaked.
Originally, the eldest brother lived in the south room. Later, the sister-in-law said that she could no longer live in the south room and had to move to the east room where the second brother lived.
The second sister-in-law was unwilling, saying that she had poor health and was afraid of the tide...
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were arguing all day long at home, and no one wanted to live in the shabbiest south house.
In the end, the sister-in-law hid her face and cried bitterly, saying how difficult it was for her to live in this family. She married a husband who did not work and stayed at home all day long, and raised three sons by herself...
She cried so sadly that she returned to her parents' home alone. No matter how much her elder brother tried to persuade her, she was unwilling to come back.
The eldest brother had no choice but to ask his parents to let him live in the north house where they lived.
My mother was unwilling, but my father felt that everything was going well with the family and it was almost okay to live by himself, so he finally gave up the north house to his eldest brother and his family.
Su Xiaomeng didn't like her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and she also didn't like her second brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing that his fourth brother and sister-in-law had all moved out and built their own houses in the village, he also left home and lived in the breeding yard of the production team.
He originally thought that his mother had only brought Jinbao home, but unexpectedly she also brought an additional boy with her, and he began to worry about where the two children would live.
The eldest brother has three sons, and the North House is no longer full of people.
The second brother has two sons, so he could sleep with another child on the bed, but the second sister-in-law would definitely not be willing to do so given her character.
The fourth brother and his fourth sister-in-law were married less than three years ago. They gave birth to a son the year before last. They originally lived in the smallest house in the southwest, but later moved away.
The southwest room is now a warehouse, where some potatoes and sweet potatoes are stored, plows and rake sticks for autumn harvesting, grinding, etc. It is dirty, full of fleas and ants, and many holes in the wall have not been repaired.
"How about tidying up the warehouse? Let the eldest brother's three sons live there, while Jin Bao and Hua Hua live in the north room?"
Li Xiu'e shook her head, "Even if your eldest brother agrees, it's impossible for your eldest sister-in-law to agree."
She continued: "Just stay in my and your dad's room and squeeze in with Xiao Wu. Living in the south room is much better than the southwest room."
"Hey, your house is too dilapidated. When I get home, I will strengthen the roof to prevent it from getting wet again when it rains."
"Just let your second brother do this work. You've been tired from riding in the car for the past two days. When you get to the village, you should go back and rest early."
Hearing what his mother said, Su Xiaomeng nodded helplessly, "Okay."
