Xu Suizhu opened the door, went into the house, opened the window, let in some ventilation, and then called to her aunts: "Aunt, uncle, you all come in, don't stand! Brother, why did you sweep the floor? Isn't it quite clean?"
"It's okay, I'm just free when I'm free." Lin Jianbing said while sweeping.
"Don't worry about him." Xu Xiuyuan came in and said, "You go to nurse Doudou first. I'll pack your luggage and cook dinner for you, and then we'll go back. It's hard to ask for your uncle's leave. You have to go to the fishery when you go back.
."
"Girl, please stop being busy. Sit down for a while and drink some water. Go back early before the sun goes down. Leave your luggage for me to take care of later."
"What are you drinking? You're not a guest." Xu Xiuyuan glared at her niece, pulled her to the room, and stuffed fifty yuan into her, "I know you have a job, but you haven't been paid yet.
Well, you can use this money first. You can go out and buy what you want to eat, and on Sundays, you can go to my aunt’s house to have dinner with you in hand, and don’t see anyone else.”
Xu Suizhu thought about the dozen yuan in her pocket. If she wanted to live in the town, she was really short of money, so she didn't push it back and forth with her aunt: "Aunt, I won't be polite. When I have more money, you can
Waiting with my uncle to enjoy my blessing."
Xu Xiuyuan smiled and patted her hand: "Take care of yourself and Doudou first."
Xu Xiuyuan and her husband took a short break before the sun went down and then went back to the fishing village.
After Lin Jianbing carried the big tub into the bathroom, he went back to his home to work. Before leaving, he told Xu Suizhu:
"Sister, you just moved in today. You have a lot of things to pack, and you have to watch Doudou. Don't make dinner. Come to my house for dinner later. Your sister-in-law said before going out that when she comes back, she will take you to Back Pai Shi Lane.
Don’t forget it.”
"OK."
Of course Xu Suizhu didn't forget it. He has to go to work tomorrow, and Xiao Baozi really needs to make arrangements.
"Brother, take this fish and marinate it, then steam it or stew it with mustard seeds to eat in the evening."
"There are vegetables at home. Your sister-in-law bought them before she went out in the morning. You can keep this fish for tomorrow. It won't go bad after being pickled." Lin Jianbing refused to take it, for fear that Xu Suizhu would force it on him, so he trotted out of the yard and across the courtyard.
Qiang waved to her and went home.
Xu Suizhu looked amused and moved.
"Er, your aunt's family are all good people. When we are capable in the future, we need to be more filial to them, you know?"
"ah!"
Little Baozi was hungry, so he waved his fleshy little arms and snuck into Xu Suizhu's arms.
Xu Suizhu nodded lovingly on his forehead and carried him back to the room to feed him.
After the little bun was full, he fell asleep contentedly. Xu Suizhu first put him on the bed, took out the nutrition capsule from the system package, set it to small bed mode, and placed it on the footrest in front of the bed against the edge of the bed.
Not only the bed in Aunt Ma's house is a canopy bed with three side panels, but also in her aunt and brother-in-law's house. Therefore, the small bed can only be used as a footrest.
Fortunately, Doudou was still small, so the small bed transformed from the nutrition cabin was temporarily set to a length of one meter. After placing it near the head of the bed, a few dozen centimeters of space was left at the end of the bed, which would not affect Xu Suizhu's getting in and out of bed.
After transferring the sleeping little bun to the nutrition cabin, Xu Suizhu straightened up and wiped his sweat.
It's mid-to-late September and it's still so hot during the day.
Fortunately, the function of the nutrition cabin is incredible. It can not only nourish the human body, but also automatically adjust the most suitable temperature for sleeping according to the body temperature. Otherwise, the little bun will probably sweat all over while sleeping.
When you accumulate enough points later, you can have the luxury of a customized lottery and a nutrition cabin, and experience the high technology of interstellar civilization yourself.
…
While Xiaobaozi was sleeping, Xu Suizhu quickly put away the luggage.
Clothes that can be hung should be hung, but clothes that cannot be hung should be neatly stacked and placed in the wardrobe side cabinet.
The mattress was replaced by my own, and the bed that Aunt Ma left behind was moved out to dry in the sun, and then put away in the quilt cabinet after the moisture was gone.
Put the rice, noodles and condiments in the kitchen.
There was no cooking today, so she was too lazy to light a fire, so she boiled a pot of water on the gas stove and poured it into a thermos for drinking. After boiling another pot, she mixed it with cold water and took a bath, feeling refreshed.
I took a book casually and leaned on the bedside to read at will.
After watching it, I actually fell asleep. When I woke up, the sun was setting and it was almost dusk.
Xu Suizhu got up quickly, washed his face, and saw that the little bun was still sleeping. He put on a dress similar to protective clothing, took the bag and quilt and wrapped the little bun to his brother-in-law's house.
Wu Meili brought back half a raw chicken from her parents' home, and there happened to be a lot left at home. When spring started, she followed her sister-in-law to the mountains near her parents' home to pick dried shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, and chicken and stewed them in a pot, which served as a blessing for Xu Suizhu.
.
Just after dinner, the little bun also woke up. Xu Suizhu fed him and took him to the widow's mother-in-law's house that Wu Meili mentioned.
"Her husband's surname is Lin, and her mother's family is from out of town. Her surname seems to be Zhou, and her maiden name is Lihua. I heard the neighbors who were close friends with her call her Mrs. Lihua. Generally speaking, she is called a widow. Her husband died in the war that year.
Well, the eldest son was washed away by floods when he was a teenager. The younger son married the only daughter from the next town. He lived in his mother-in-law’s house all year round, not to mention the monthly wages paid by the factory, and even the children.
I haven't seen the child he brought back a few times. It must have been more than ten years ago. Fortunately, the old lady still has a few yuan of five-guarantee household subsidies to receive. Occasionally, I ask the factory to get some straw hats for beating, otherwise,
How can we live this life..."
On the way, Wu Meili whispered to Xu Suizhu about the situation of her widowed mother-in-law's family.
It turns out that being a widow does not mean that she has no children, but that her son dislikes her and takes a daughter-in-law and simply goes to live with her mother-in-law's family, leaving her mother alone and indifferent.
"I've seen unfilial daughters-in-law, but I've never seen such unfilial sons. I remember when his father joined the army to fight and didn't come home for many years. It was his mother who dragged him until he grew up. Now he has a daughter-in-law.
Forget about mother, even if I am his mother, I can’t kill him!"
Because Wu Meili also has a son, she couldn't help but think too much: her son, who had worked so hard to raise him, would one day leave her and his wife behind and go to his mother-in-law's house to be courteous, and she would be very angry.
"Now that I think about it, it's better to have a daughter. A daughter is considerate! The family to the east of our house gave birth to three daughters. How many people laughed at him in the early years and laughed at his lack of luck? He gave birth to three, and none of them took care of him. Now there are three.
My daughters are all married, and they go to their parents’ home every year and festival to give this and that, and how many people envy them.”
Xu Suizhu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you envious? Don't you have Cuicui? And Zhuangzhuang is still young. You and your brother should teach him more and don't rely on him for everything. He will be filial when he grows up. I think
Zhuang Zhuang is very sensible and can listen to what adults say."
Wu Meili immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. Everyone likes to hear others praise their children and say modest words, and Xu Suizhu was given free time to teach the siblings.
