The family of three got off the train and went directly to the north of the station.
Xu Shi'an's father-in-law's house is just north of the station. After Xu Shi'an followed his wife back to the city, he also found a house to live nearby.
It was quite close, so Xu Shiyan had to push the bicycle back first.
When Xu Shian and his wife saw that the third child had actually brought his parents over, they felt a little panicked.
There really was nowhere to settle here, and there was nothing they could do.
Although Xu Shian settled in the vegetable team, there was no work to make in the winter.
Although Wei Mingrong had arranged a job, he had only been on the job for a few days and he really couldn't afford to support so many people.
Xu Shiyan saw what his brother and sister-in-law were thinking, and didn't say anything else. He just told them that his parents were staying in Donggang for the time being and would go to Donggang to look for him if they had anything to do in the future.
After that, Xu Shiyan led his parents back to the station, found a donkey jeep, and chartered a car to take them back to Donggang.
The donkey cart wandered to the east of the Donggang Martyrs' Tomb and stopped in front of Xu's house. Then the three of them carried everything down and entered the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the yard, Su Anying saw it from the window and hurriedly came out to help carry things.
"Mom, Dad, we have finally come to you. Shiyan went up the mountain to see ginseng, and Lao Liu and I were at home. To be honest, I was a little scared at night."
Su Anying said this deliberately. In fact, the public security in Donggang is not bad.
Zhou Qingguo is the security assistant and militia company commander of Donggang Commune. He is responsible for these things. He has already taken care of them secretly and asked people to pay more attention to the Xu family.
Yu Shouguang also secretly asked the neighbors and neighbors in front to take more care of the Xu family.
So during the days when Xu Shiyan was away from home, everything at home was quite stable.
But for Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan, hearing their daughter-in-law's words made them feel needed.
It seems that they are quite useful and not useless, which makes me very happy.
"Oh, what are you doing out here? Where is Yuanyuan? He can crawl now, right? Don't fall to the ground."
Xu Chenghou suddenly remembered this matter and didn't care about it anymore. He rushed into the house in a few steps.
As soon as I entered the house and saw my grandson, I was immediately happy.
Su Anying piled up quilts to block the outside and blocked Xu Haiyuan in the kang. At this moment, Xu Haiyuan was trying to climb out.
The little guy is less than eight months old and has just learned to crawl. He is not yet capable of climbing over mountains and ridges.
Xu Haiyuan's face was flushed with exhaustion, and he was still fussing and refused to give up. He wanted to conquer the mountain of quilts in front of him.
"Hey, my dear grandson, what are you doing?"
The moment he saw his grandson, Xu Chenghou's old face suddenly burst into laughter.
He threw the luggage roll on the ground casually, took off his cotton hat, walked up to the little baby, and made eye contact with the little baby.
Xu Haiyuan hasn't seen his grandfather for a long time. How can he still recognize him?
However, this kid didn't recognize him, and stared at the old man in front of him with his big eyes, blinking several times.
Maybe it's due to his genetic nature, or maybe it's because this kid loves to laugh. He didn't cry when he looked at the strange old man, but instead grinned.
Xu Chenghou felt his heart melt when the baby smiled, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged his grandson.
"Yuanyuan, I am your father, please let me hold you for a while."
The old man didn't even take off his coat, he just hugged Xu Haiyuan, put Xu Haiyuan on his lap, looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he liked him.
"Yingzi can still take care of her children. Look how fat she has made Yuanyuan.
My God, this little face is pouting, why are you so rare?" Xu Chenghou rarely praised his third daughter-in-law.
Su Anying didn't say anything beside her, she just pursed her lips and smiled.
After being married for such a long time, Su Anying also understood her father-in-law's temper.
This old man just has an unforgiving mouth. No matter how nice things come out of his mouth, they don't sound that good.
It would be quite nice to be able to praise you like that.
"Mom, put down all your things quickly. I've packed everything here. You and my dad will live in the east room.
If Shi Yan doesn't come back, I will live with Lao Liu in the west room. When Shi Yan comes back, Lao Liu will move to the east room."
Su Anying took the two bags from Zhou Guilan's hand and put them on the kang.
"No, no, I can live with your father in the West Wing. How much trouble will it take to move around?"
When Zhou Guilan heard this, she quickly waved her hand. They were just here to stay for a while. Which room they slept in was different? The east room and the west room were not that particular.
"That's not okay. The old man lives in the east room. This is the rule.
If I let you and I live in the West House, let alone others, my parents will scold me if they find out later."
Su Anying smiled and helped Zhou Guilan sit on the edge of the Kang. This has been the rule since ancient times. The elders in the family live in the upper room.
This is how people always get along with each other, fighting for what is lacking and giving in to what is surplus.
If the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law are at odds with each other and have to compete, the family will be in a state of constant chaos and instability.
If the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law give way to each other and are polite, the family will be harmonious.
A mother-in-law is not a mother, and a daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law. It is impossible for them to be truly intimate with each other.
Especially for new wives, they have to give in to each other and slowly adapt.
Su Anying separated the family on the first day she married into the Xu family. Except for the period of confinement, she never lived with her parents-in-law.
However, Su Anying has a good temper. She gets along well with her stepmother in her natal family, so she naturally doesn't treat her parents-in-law badly.
If you keep the rules that you should abide by, and others can't find fault, that's fine.
"Mom, just do as Yingzi said, you and my dad live in the east room.
I can only be at home from the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I have to go up the mountain the rest of the time. It is more convenient for us to live in the West Room."
Xu Shiyan naturally stands with his wife. As long as the family is harmonious, isn't it the same whether it's a house in the east or a house in the west?
Waiting for next year, we will also build a house here, five rooms directly. Then there will be plenty of space, and you can live in any house you like.
Both his son and daughter-in-law said so, and Xu Chenghou and his wife were very happy, so they just accepted the offer.
It was already getting late now, and it was not far from getting dark. Xu Shiyan couldn't go up the mountain at this time, so he just stayed at home for one night.
It happened that Xu Shiqin also came back from get off work. When he saw his parents coming, Xu Shiqin was also very happy. He hugged Zhou Guilan and refused to let go, insisting that he sleep with his mother at night.
Zhou Guilan had to make fun of her daughter, but Xu Shiqin refused and acted coquettishly while hugging her mother.
Xu Haiyuan was very familiar with his little aunt. Seeing his little aunt holding an old lady, the little guy didn't know what he was thinking, so he pushed hard towards Xu Shiqin.
He stretched out his little hand and shouted at Xu Shiqin, insisting that Xu Shiqin hug him.
"You little brat, that's your breast, and I'm still fighting for your breast."
Xu Shiqin hurried over, picked up his little nephew, gave his little nephew a smack on his face, and then sat down next to his mother with his little nephew in his arms.
Xu Haiyuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Guilan for a while, then reached out to Zhou Guilan for a hug.
But Zhou Guilan was so happy that she quickly held her grandson in her arms, "Do you still recognize grandma? You were just born, and grandma was holding you."
Zhou Guilan and her grandson pushed against each other, making the little guy burst into laughter. For a while, the room was full of laughter, not to mention how lively it was.
