Chapter 198: Homesickness
"Okay, are you hungry? I'll make you some cold noodles when I get home."
"Mom, I'm not hungry. I had a box lunch at night, so I don't have to work."
Xie Da Jiao took the backpack, Gao Xiulan rode a bike with Lin Xiaotong, and the family rushed back home.
"Old Xie, go buy a melon tomorrow and put it in cold water. It will be perfect for lunch."
"OK."
"Mom and Dad, where am I going this time..."
The old couple listened to Lin Xiaotong and agreed from time to time.
…
It’s good to be home. Someone falls into bed and falls asleep. When he wakes up, it’s already dawn.
Thinking about having to go to work today, I stretched and went out to wash up.
"Mom and Dad, good morning."
Gao Xiulan was eating a boiled egg, then drank a mouthful of porridge and took a bite of pickles.
"Get up, hurry up and wash up and come over for breakfast. Your dad went out and bought some meat buns this morning."
"It's delicious, but I still like the shepherd's purse and meat filling that mom made last year."
After Lin Xiaotong sat down and finished eating, she looked at the clock and saw that it was time to go to work.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wiped his mouth and rushed out.
"Go slowly on the road."
"I understand."
When I went out, I saw the morning glory blooming on the screen wall and pointed at it with my finger.
I met Ernengzi who was just out of the house after having a full meal: "Hey, Xiaotong is back."
"Good morning, Brother Nengzi."
As soon as he went down the stairs and out of the yard, he saw that the bicycle had disappeared.
"This driving skill is pretty good."
When Lin Xiaotong rushed to the department store, the other sisters were already there.
"Family, I'm back."
Seeing her come in, He Cuicui's eyes lit up and she started to make noises.
"You're so good, you've been gone for so long, I thought you wouldn't come back?"
"How can I? I can't bear to leave you, Sister Cuicui."
Yan Yue lifted her hair and said, "Xiaotong, what you said makes me very sad."
"Sister Yan, I naturally can't bear to leave you."
Sister Mei got up to get some water, and when she came back she found it funny to hear this. This Xiao Lin was still as sweet-talking as ever.
As a few people were joking around, Qin Weihong came in. She seemed to be in a good mood today and sat down at her seat.
He raised his head and glanced at the commotion here, snorted coldly, and pretended not to care.
Lin Xiaotong really didn't notice and continued, "I was really awesome last night. I killed seven people with one punch."
He Cuicui scratched her ears, her tone full of doubt and confusion.
"What? What did you kill?"
Lin Xiaotong said as a matter of course: "Mosquitoes, there are really a lot of mosquitoes at night now. I killed a small nest last night."
Yan Yue's words were pointedly pointed: "Mosquitoes are really annoying."
When she first heard this, she thought Xiaotong was secretly referring to Qin Weihong.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Qin Weihong. When we met last night, he said some incomprehensible things to her.
She didn't pay attention at the time, and only remembered it when she returned home.
This man came to her and said things like, "Those who join the army out of poverty have no future," and "My cousin who works in the Revolutionary Committee is also looking for someone, but hasn't found the right one yet."
Who is this? You have such a big face.
Qin Weihong didn't hear it, she was applying cold cream to her hands.
Her father found a date for her, who was also the son of an official and whose family conditions were similar to hers.
In her father's words, she is an honest person who doesn't talk much and can make a living.
In fact, she prefers Xu Dongsheng's handsome appearance, but unfortunately this guy has no job.
…
When Lin Xiaotong was happily going home for dinner, as the car just turned into the alley, she saw a strange man at the gate of the compound.
His hair was messy, he was wearing patched clothes, and he was holding a torn bag in his hand.
Following his gaze, he was staring at Hu Tou, who was squatting on the ground with his back to Wu Jiabao, teasing an ant with his butt sticking out.
Could it be a human trafficker? Is he coming to their compound to rescue someone again?
Lin Xiaotong pretended to be calm while riding her bike. She rode over and cleared her throat, her voice deliberately amplified.
"Hu Tou, Wu Jiabao, why don't you go back to eat?"
"Sister Tong, you're back?"
Tiger Head looked up, grinning.
Wu Jiabao stood up, touched his flat stomach, looked at his companions and said:
"Tiger Head, I'm hungry. I want to go home and eat. My family is having meat for lunch today."
Zhang Dazui came out with a spatula in her hand, and stretched her head to take a few glances outside. Mainly because the two children didn't talk much today, she was a little worried.
"Tiger Head, Tiger Head, go home for dinner. Where is this child?"
"Grandma, I'm here. I'll be right back."
Hu Tou patted the dust off his butt and was about to run over when he saw his grandmother's face change and the spatula fell to the ground with a bang.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed over and hit the strange man with his fist.
He and Wu Jiabao were so scared that they huddled together, staring at him.
"You still remember to come back! You have no conscience."
Seeing this, Lin Xiaotong quietly moved to the side. Aunt Big Mouth's beating was still as powerful as before.
The strange man endured it like this until he coughed a few times and opened his mouth wide before he stopped.
"Mom, cough cough, hit me a little more gently."
Hu Tou took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and went to pick up the spatula with his short legs. He ran behind his grandmother and heard her calling "Mom".
Then this person must be his father.
The strange man was Zhou Zhixi, who used to plant trees in the northwest, and was also Hu Tou's biological father. He looked at his silly son holding a spatula and grinned.
"Where's Xiao Wan? You're not the only one back, are you?"
"Xiao Wan went to the bathroom, I..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman with the same patched clothes came over, saw Zhang Dazui, shouted "Mom", and her eyes were also glued to Hu Tou.
Lin Xiaotong and Wu Jiabao, two outsiders, looked at each other.
"Hurry up and go in. You didn't even know to come in when you got home. I'll deal with you when I get back."
Zhang Dazui also saw Xiaohui's mother next door holding a bowl and stretching her neck to look at the door. She didn't take it seriously and continued to eat.
Zhou Zhixi and his wife Tong Wan came in like two quails holding hands. One of Hu Tou's hands was held by his grandmother, and the other hand was holding a spatula. He looked back every two steps.
Lin Xiaotong carried the bicycle into the yard. She had a feeling that there was something else going on and she had to hurry home to ask her mother.
Wu Jiabao shook his head like a little adult and came in with his hands behind his back.
Jin Qiaofeng poured a basin of water at the door, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't control her voice.
"Oh my god, open your mouth, who did you bring back again?"
Zhou Zhixi smiled awkwardly and said, "Aunt Jin, you are still as strong as before."
Tong Wan, who was standing next to him, didn't try to stop him before the man had already spoken.
"Who are you scolding, you little bastard? Wait, are you that kid Zhixi?"
When Jin Qiaofeng heard this, she burst into curses. She was only in her early forties, and someone praised her for her strong body.
Listen, is this a compliment? But the tone of his thoughtless words really sounds like that of the brainless eldest son of the Zhou family.
He's a nice young man, but he just has a big mouth, which really spoils the fun.
Jin Qiaofeng wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhang Dazui's expression as if he was about to hit someone, she swallowed the words back.
