After Chen Jianguo and his men sat in the living room, he looked at his nieces. He had some impression of this one, but the others might have appeared in the past few years after he left.

Uh, why are all of them girls in this generation?

He is not biased towards boys, it's just that there are several of them in a row, so he is a little curious.

Father Chen followed his son's gaze.

"These are your younger brother's daughter, third daughter, and daughter, and the third brother's daughter and daughter."

Father Chen is also worried when looking at his series of granddaughters!

Mother Chen only has her son in her eyes now.

The brothers Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun looked at their brother curiously and with shame in their eyes.

Xia Lai Di and Liu Chun Xia looked at their dignified uncle, and heard their father-in-law making a sound all the time, so they lowered their heads in shame and kept silent.

A few of the girls looked at Uncle 꺶, their faces blushing as they greeted him, "Uncle 꺶, hello!"

Chen Jianguo greeted them one by one and touched the little yellow head. Compared with his own daughter, these nieces were normal rural children.

Looking at her daughter who was smiling happily with her sisters, she also started to smile.

"Niuniu, go get some candy for the sisters."

After Niuniu heard this, she ran to Su Xia and said, "Mom, I want candy."

Su Xia grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candy.

Niuniu ran over to find Xiaoya and the others with the pills in her hands and gave each of them two.

Several children received candies and happily said "thank you" to Uncle 꺶

Then the sisters went to play in the yard.

It's time to boil water. It's also good for Suxia.

Pour a bowl of brown sugar water for each person.

Father Chen drank a sip of water, mainly because he was thirsty after running for a while.

Then he looked at his son and asked, "Old man, are you asking for leave now?"

"Dad, my boss approved my leave, saying that he was busy enough and asked me to go home to see him."

Chen Jianjun looked at his brother with admiration: "Brother, where are you now? What do you do?"

Chen Jianguo explained his work: "I am in the province now, it takes three days to get there by train. We are going there to build a railway."

"Isn't that tiring, bro?"

"It's OK. I'm definitely tired, but I'm better than you guys because I'm full."

When others heard this, they thought that being full was the best thing.

Mother Chen touched her son's strong chest and felt relieved.

"Mom, I didn't get hurt. Don't worry, I'm not hurt at all."

Mother Chen glanced at her son and said, "Humph, a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. You don't know that. I have to see it myself before I can rest assured."

Chen Jianguo was also there.

After looking at his son, Chen's father's excitement was restored.

Then he ordered: "Old Master and Old Third, you guys go back to work. Your mother and I will stay here for a while. We will have a good reunion when we come back in the afternoon."

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun agreed that work points were indeed more important.

Then the two of them led their wives to go back: "Brother, let's go first and come back later."

After Chen Jianguo sent a few people out, he came back to chat with his parents. Su Xia had already made room and went to the backyard to wash clothes.

Chen Jianguo saw that his parents and the people at home looked better than the people fetching water in the morning.

I started to ask about the situation at home, "Dad, how is the family now? Is there enough food?

Also, it seems like we are not affected by the drought. ”

When Chen's mother heard this, she was proud: "Huh...

It’s all because of your wife. Without her, we and these villages would all starve. ”

This made Chen Jianguo even more curious.

Father Chen looked at his son's curiosity, and then told him the story of Su Xia building a house and digging a well.

He also told them about the water outage in the village and the people coming here to fetch water.

"Your wife insisted on digging more. Normally, water would be found at ten meters, but she had people dig until seventeen meters."

"Maybe because of this, the water in the well has never dried up." Father Chen felt a little embarrassed when he recalled how he had muttered behind his father's back that his old family was a spendthrift.

Mother Chen is now satisfied with Su Xia no matter how she looks at her.

"You are the one who has too many problems. You were not happy when we dug the well. If it weren't for your old family, you... and my family, and the people in the village wouldn't have any food to share, and they wouldn't even have water to drink."

Chen Jianguo was a worker by nature. He knew that digging deeper wells would provide more water, but it would not always be available.

I thought about the knowledge I had learned and then associated it with my own geographical location. Maybe my house is right next to a river and the digging is deep enough, so there are abundant water resources.

I sighed in my heart, and couldn't help but sigh that my wife had a stroke of genius, it was really a good choice.

If Su Xia knew that Chen Jianguo said that he was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and had to hit him a few times, she would have thought it over carefully and had foresight, okay?

Father Chen also spoke for his daughter-in-law: "Your wife has not fetched water for the village in vain. The team will give her work points, and she will be able to get food in due time. Other villages will count her as money.

Also, any villager who needed water would exchange it for a bundle of firewood. ”

Father Chen still admires him to this day.

Mother Chen was not happy and began to defend Su Xia: "What are you talking about? Didn't the old well cost money? Besides, it didn't cost that much. It's just a bundle of firewood. You can get it by digging a few pieces in the mountain."

Chen's mother always felt that it was okay to fetch water from the village, but one bundle of firewood was too little for the villagers to use.

Then he looked at Father Chen unhappily. This old man was a blockhead and should have asked for more at that time.

Father Chen looked at his wife helplessly and said many times that this was the family's own decision.

Chen Jianguo didn't think much of it. Although one bundle of firewood was small, it accumulated over time. In the morning, he found that the firewood shed in the backyard was full and there were piles of firewood in the front yard.

It is indeed unsafe for my wife to go to the mountains to chop wood alone. This is a good idea. It is beneficial to me and I can also gain gratitude from the villagers. There will be more people to help me in the future.

Chen Jianguo now realizes that his young wife is quite smart, and this wave of favors is very beautiful.

"Mom, you can't say that. We are all from the same village, so just consider it as helping."

Mother Chen didn't say anything when she heard what her son said. She was not a fool and knew that this was good for the old family.

Chen Jianguo asked again: "Dad and Mom, do you have enough food? If not, can I find a way to exchange for some food coupons?"

Father Chen refused directly: "That's enough. Keep your food coupons for your wife and children. They need more."

"Yes, yes... Old man, leave it to your wife. It's not easy for her to raise a child alone."

Chen Jianguo was really happy to see his parents protecting his wife. He was away from home all year round and his wife was taking care of the children at home. He felt a lot more at ease with his parents and younger brother helping him.

"It's okay, Mom and Dad. I will let my wife leak it out. The main thing is that I see that my nieces are skinny and small, and they are very different from Niuniu."

When Chen's mother heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Your wife's meals are fine and delicious. She can even have meat and eggs every other day, and your daughter has never been short of snacks and candies.

We have eaten 70% to 80% and it is good. ”

Father Chen didn't want to trouble his son: "My dear, our family is well-off, much better than other people in the village, and this is because your wife helped buy food before.

Your nieces aren't hungry either, they just don't eat as well as Niuniu, but they're much better off than the other children. ”

Chen Jianguo was surprised and shouted: "My wife is buying food, Dad, are you serious? She is just a woman, how can she know anyone?"

This time, Chen's mother was unhappy again: "Why, your wife is very capable, she is the one who cleaned up the whole house.

She had to go to the county town to buy food, but she had to think of a way to deal with it.

Otherwise, I can raise my grandson to be plump and white. ”

Chen's mother said proudly to her son, "You don't know that when I take Niuniu out, those old ladies look at me with envy and jealousy, humph..."

What's the use of having a grandson? He's still not as pretty, strong and plump as my granddaughter.

Each one of them looks like a black donkey's egg. How can they be compared? ”

Mother Chen now takes Niuniu for a walk around the village every few days, and from time to time she and the other two would say that Su Xia sent meat, eggs, and sugar to Chen's father and mother...

Seeing the old ladies in the village gnashing their teeth with envy, Mother Chen walked over with her head held high with pride.

Looking at Chen's mother's arrogant look, Chen Jianguo could imagine the scenes she had walked through.

Thinking about the good things at home, it should be that my wife has made some connections in the county town and may even have been to the black market.

I thought I would talk to my wife in private, but I didn't know if she would listen.

At this time, Su Xia often picked vegetables to eat, so she picked more. When Chen Jianguo came back, he had to eat at home.

They all want to spit on me, how can I be a good wife and mother? What a tiring life!
