Chapter 66 Returning to My Mother's Home



Shitou was so happy sitting on the bicycle. It was the first time for him to ride such a brand new bicycle. He was overwhelmed with joy: "Mom, my aunt's bicycle is so beautiful.

It would be nice if Hu Zi and I could do this every day."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "When you and Huzi study hard and go to junior high school, I will buy you one."

Shitou's eyes lit up: "Really?"

The three of them rode their bikes to Mrs. Xu's parents' home, chatting and laughing.

Mrs. Xu’s parents’ family is also from the county town, but not from their own county, but from the county town next door.

Fortunately, it was not far away and she arrived there in about two hours by bike.

"Mom, you didn't go to work today!" Mrs. Xu rode her bike into the yard and saw her mother washing vegetables at the faucet.

At this moment, Zhao's mother was chatting with the neighbor next door with a cheerful face. When she saw her daughter coming back, she immediately looked worried. She quickly wiped the water on her hands and ran to her daughter: "Why are you back at this time?

Did your mother-in-law and sister-in-law bully you again?" Because she was worried, she didn't even see how her daughter came back, and didn't know that her daughter was holding something in her hands.

Mrs. Xu smiled and raised the things in her hand: "If I am bullied, can I still bring the things back?"

Only then did Zhao's mother breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the pork in her daughter's hand and the cloth beside it, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "It's not a festival, but your mother-in-law asked you to bring back so many things.

Oh, did you take this red fabric home too? Hello, brother. The date has been set, and I am worried about where to get the red fabric to make them new clothes.

Your cloth is just the right time for you." Mother Zhao was delighted.

The woman who was just chatting with Zhao, now saw Mrs. Xu carrying things and riding a bicycle, and she immediately felt jealous: "Hey, Lingzi, why is your mother-in-law so generous today?

What's the plan? Are you asking your mother for something?"

When Zhao's mother heard this, she immediately became alert. She looked at her daughter in embarrassment and said, "Lingzi, your parents can't handle things that are too difficult. But if it's a small matter, we can help."

Shitou, standing aside with a fierce look on his face, stared at the woman who had just spoken: "My grandma is fine, it's just that my mom misses my grandma.

My aunt said that my grandmother always helped our family, and now that our family has money, she asked my mother to bring some gifts to honor my grandmother. "

This was not what Xu Ying said, but Shi Tou felt that this was what she meant.

As soon as these words came out, the woman who had just spoken looked embarrassed: "Is it true? Your country grandmother can actually be such a good person?"

She curled her lips, turned around and went back with her clothes.

Mother Zhao laughed and said, "Don't bother with your second aunt. She is just jealous of you."

Aunt Wu's family is similar to theirs. They both married their daughters to the countryside. However, her daughter was an educated youth who went to the countryside and could not endure hardship, so she got married.

My own daughter is stupid. She insists on marrying him herself.

The two of them seemed to be getting along well with each other on a daily basis, but she actually knew what Aunt Wu was thinking.

Isn't it just that she feels more pitiful and that they sympathize with each other? Now that her daughter knows how to respect her, the Wu family is not happy.

If she is not happy, then she is not happy. Anyway, her daughter respects her and she is happy.

"Go back quickly. Your sister-in-law's family will be here soon. Let's go through the formalities and arrange the marriage." Zhao's mother looked very happy. Her eldest son was in his twenties and finally got married.

"Oh, isn't it a coincidence that I came here to celebrate my eldest brother's wedding?" Mrs. Xu said jokingly with a happy face.

Compared to when I was at the Xu's house, I felt a lot more relaxed and had fewer concerns. I could say whatever I wanted to say with a smile on my face.

"By the way, Shitou said that your husband's family is rich now, what's going on?"

Mrs. Xu talked about this and continued, "My husband and second brother are now working as teachers in the commune, and my younger sister is also working in a restaurant in the county town.

Now, basically everyone in the family is a worker, which means we are rich. Recently, my younger sister goes up the mountain from time to time, and every time she brings back wild animals, like Shitou and Huzi.

These two boys have been eating well every day for more than a month, and have gained a lot of weight."

Mother Zhao, who eats well every day, believed that as soon as she entered the door, she saw that her two grandsons had gained a lot of weight and had flesh on their faces.

She also believed that the second son of the Xu family would become a teacher. Despite Xu's mother's bad temper, the Xu family members were quite smart.

It was this Xu family's eldest son who went to work at a state-owned restaurant. She was a little unconvinced: "Lingzi, Xu Ying really went to work at a state-owned restaurant. What was she doing? Was she a temporary waiter?"

Mrs. Xu had expected her mother to say this, so she quickly explained, "I'm going to be a chef and cook. I'm a regular employee. How can I be a temporary worker?"

After hearing this, Zhao's mother was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and her eyes were bigger than eggs: "You are not lying to me, are you? Xu Ying is so lazy, and she is spoiled by your mother-in-law.

Has she ever been in the kitchen? She only knows how to cook. Are you making fun of your mother?"

Mrs. Xu felt so wronged: "Mom, my dear mother, how could I lie to you about this?

My little sister doesn’t cook much, but when she does, her food is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.”

Shitou said tactfully, "Grandma, my aunt's cooking is delicious. You have never tasted it. The food she cooks is even more delicious than the food the emperor eats."

Shitou thought for a long time and said, boasting: "This kind of food can only be found in heaven. It must be my aunt who is a fairy who has come down to earth to cook such a good meal."

Mother Zhao rolled her eyes at her grandson, feeling a little expectant.

The mother and daughter sat together and chatted for a while. It was already late, so Mrs. Xu and Mother Zhao went into the kitchen together.

The two of them started busying themselves making lunch.

At about half past ten or eleven o'clock, Brother Zhao's fiancée's family arrived.

When Zhao's mother heard the voice, she quickly washed her hands and ran out, and saw her in-laws' faces full of smiles.

"My dear in-laws, please come in and sit down. Yinghe, please come here quickly. Shubo will be back from get off work soon.

My daughter went back to her parents' home today. A few days ago, I was worrying about where to buy some red fabric, but who knew that my daughter would come here with the fabric.

There are a lot of them. I will make a set of clothes for Yinghe and Shubo. They will look so festive on their wedding day."

When Cheng's mother heard this, a more genuine smile appeared on her honest face.

On the other side, the eldest sister-in-law of the Cheng family entered the yard and looked up and down at the Zhao family: "Sister, how many rooms do you have in your house?"

Zhao's mother told the truth: "The child's father and I share a room, the eldest and the third child share a room, and there is another room that my married daughter used to live in.

But now that the eldest is getting married, I let the third move into my daughter's house."

Zhao's mother had just discussed this matter with her daughter. Mrs. Xu had no objection. She believed that her eldest brother's marriage was more important, and he didn't go back to his parents' home often.

If you don't have a house, then you don't have a house.
