Chapter 90

Zhao Kai's mother Liu Dalan rushed home panting.

Without even putting down the basket hanging on her arm, she ran straight to her husband who was lying on the kang bed smoking, and said hastily, "Old man, that bastard Wei Qing is back."

Because his son was an adulterer, the whole family was disliked by the neighbors. Zhao Hai was depressed and had aged terribly in the past few years. His hair had turned gray before he turned 60. When he heard the old woman mention shenzhen, it took him a while to realize who she was.

He placed his pipe on the edge of the kang and knocked on it before saying gloomily, "Her parents' home is here, so it's not strange for her to come back."

Seeing the old man was dying, Liu Dalan said angrily, "It's not surprising, but if she hadn't been unable to control her man, how could Xiao Kai be bewitched by the vixen outside? How could our family be so miserable?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hai felt depressed when thinking about the cold stares he had received in the past few years. He coughed twice before saying, "What can I do? The Lu family is very capable now, so you better behave yourself."

After hearing this, Liu Dalan pounded her chest and said angrily, "What can I do? What can I dare to do? I just want to see my grandson. I just took a look from a distance. Roubao is already seven years old, and I, as a grandmother, don't even know his full name or what he looks like. Does he look like our Xiaokai... It's all because of that vicious woman, Lu Qing. She left without saying anything, and it's been so many years since she left. My eldest grandson doesn't even have the chance to get close to me, his grandmother."

Speaking of his grandson, Zhao Hai felt a little unhappy in his heart. Yes, the grandson is the child of their Zhao family. Why shouldn’t he, as a grandfather, be allowed to look after him?

Another thing is, the family of the Luo family is so respectable now. The eldest son and his wife are glorious workers, the second son is even a big star, and the fourth child is a girl, but she is a college student and has created income for the whole commune. It is said that the idea of ​​raising rabbits and selling their fur to foreign countries was first proposed by that girl, and the whole commune is grateful to her, not to mention that she married a capable military officer. By the way, I heard that the youngest boy of the Luo family also has four pockets now...

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Hai felt jealous and envious. The ancestral tomb of the Lao Lu family must be a chimney!

If the old son hadn't had an affair, maybe the Zhao family would have benefited from it as well.

The old woman is right, it's still because I'm incompetent and can't keep a close eye on men...

But... Zhao Hai squinted his eyes and took two puffs of cigarette. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't resist the greed in his heart: "Tomorrow...tomorrow you ask the eldest brother's wife to find out what Rui Rui is saying. Didn't they have a good relationship in the past?"

Even if the son is disabled, there is still the grandson.

As long as their grandchildren recognize them, they will be able to benefit from this light sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai reminded him again: "Do you still have meat coupons at home? Ask the old man to buy a pound of pork for you."

Liu Dalan was a little reluctant, and said with a pained look on her face: "There are only a few meat coupons left in the house, and I'm saving them for the New Year."

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Zhao Hai glared at the ignorant woman and shouted, "Ahem... just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Seeing her husband angry, Liu Dalan shrank her neck, but she didn't dare to object anymore, and went to find the eldest son's wife with a curse...

the other side.

After her mother left, she looked at the gentle and graceful girl and asked, "Teacher, how are you doing recently?"

Five years ago, when I saw Xiaoyue in the hospital, although she was pretty, she couldn't hide her gloomy look.

But now, judging from her complexion, she and Teacher Yuan should be doing well.

The fact is indeed as Tingting guessed. Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Tingting. My mother is doing well now."

Ruting patted her hands and said, "Why thank you? Your mother is also my teacher, isn't she? I'm very happy to see you look so bright and beautiful now."

How can there be sunshine after three dark years like that?

Her brightness also depends on the person.

For example, those college students who came to the mother and daughter’s aid in times of need.

For example, it is not an exaggeration to define Sister Tingting as someone who saved my life.

In the years ahead, her uncle and aunt treated her like their own nephew and loved her...her brightness and enthusiasm were only given to those who cared about her.

Lin Jiaojiao had a myriad of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show them on her face. She just slightly curved her almond-shaped eyes and assured again, "Don't worry, Sister Tingting. Not only my mother, but I am also doing well. My uncle and aunt are taking good care of us."

"Mom, let's go out and play!"

Just as Ruting was about to say that she had brought gifts for Xiaoyueliang and Teacher Yuan, the words were interrupted by the brat.

She turned her head and looked at Guoguo.

Only then did I realize that the boy was already preparing to go out, holding Nian Nian in one hand and Xiao Hei in the other.

Looking at the older ones, they also have faces full of eagerness to try.

Tingting sighed that children are really energetic, then looked at her husband.

Huo Xiao understood and stood up: "I'll go with the children."

Then, Tingting reminded the children: "We agreed that you must come back for dinner before dark in an hour at most."

"Wow! Thank you, Mom!"

Seeing the little guys running out to have fun, Ruishuang was worried that her brother-in-law couldn't take care of six or seven naughty kids by himself, so she looked at her husband and said, "Why don't you come with us?"

Xie Hao nodded, put on a thick jacket and went out.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Hong was the only man left in the room. Worried that his elder sister would nag him about finding a partner again, he quickly got up and followed her out.

After the men and children left, the two sisters planned to go to the room to pack their luggage. Tingting pulled Lin Jiaojiao along: "Little Moon, come with me. I brought gifts for you and the teacher."

Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. She had never expected there would be a gift: "Thank you, Sister Tingting..."

Ruting smiled and replied: "You're welcome."

That night, the Lu family gathered together.

In the living room, a dozen or so main dishes were placed on the big round table, including pickled cabbage and bone sticks, pork stewed with vermicelli, goose stewed in an iron pot, and pork wrapped in a pot... Many of the dishes were so large that they had to be served directly in a bowl.

The southerner named Xie Jiajia stared blankly, holding the chopsticks and not knowing which dish to start with.

Knowing that Jiajia doesn't like spicy food, Lu Qing gave her a piece of hot pot pork: "Try it."

Xie Jiajia picked it up and took a bite. It was crispy, sour and sweet. The little girl immediately said, "Delicious! So delicious!"

Hearing this, chef Li Taohong smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "If you like it, eat more."

Xie Jiajia nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, grandma."

Li Taohong's smile widened when she heard the word "Grandma". She picked up her chopsticks and started to pick up food for the children.

Seeing this, Tingting didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, you eat it yourself, the children are so old now."

There is a reason for grandparents to be spoiled. For example, at this moment, Li Taohong knows that the children can do it by themselves, but she is happy to take care of her grandchildren...

Especially when she heard the children calling her grandma in their sweet voices, her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.

Seeing that his mother only cared about the children and she herself didn't get to eat much, Lu Wei winked at the person he was dealing with.

Although Ning Yu felt a little embarrassed, she still bit the bullet and picked up a few pieces of food for her future mother-in-law: "...Auntie, you eat too."

There was no reason not to eat the food that her future daughter-in-law picked up. Li Taohong was immediately overjoyed: "Eat, eat, Auntie is eating, Xiaoyu, you should eat too, don't be shy."

Li Ting joked: "It's still the daughter-in-law who has the most say."

Ruosheng also laughed and said, "That's right, Mom can't even see us."

He Yun retorted: "Big sister and second sister, what you said is not right. Our mother is not the kind of person who only cares about her daughter-in-law."

Li Taohong laughed: "That's right, the eldest daughter-in-law understands me. I'm not that biased old lady."

But before she knew it, He Yun said, "Our mother only likes daughters-in-law who haven't married yet. People like me who have been married for more than ten years are no longer popular."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

Finally, Li Taohong, who laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, also picked up some food for her eldest daughter-in-law, and the matter was finally revealed...

After dinner.

After washing up, the children went to bed on the warm kang bed early.

The adults still gathered together drinking tea and chatting.

Li Taohong, who was finally looking forward to her second son's wedding, couldn't help but bring up the topic: "Now that you two have decided to get married, do you want to hold a wedding banquet at home first?"

Luo Wei naturally wanted to do it, but it required Xiaoyu's consent, so he turned around and looked at the object with gentle eyes.

Ning Yu thought about it for a few seconds, but shook her head: "It's okay for our family to have a meal together, but Lu Wei's identity is too sensitive..." She didn't want to be watched and treated like a monkey when she got married.

"That's right..." Li Taohong was a little disappointed. Her son becoming a star wasn't all good.

However, the second son's wedding is not a grand affair, but the youngest daughter-in-law can still be counted on.

Thinking of this, Li Taohong looked at the youngest son who was sitting and talking with the second son-in-law: "Xiaohong, your fourth aunt wants to introduce you to someone."

Unexpectedly, even though everyone had hidden in a corner, they were still hit on the head by the hammer of urging marriage. Lu Hong pinched his eyebrows and said in a firm tone: "...I won't go!"

Li Taohong was angry: "You will be 25 after the Chinese New Year and you are still not married. Do you really want to be like your second brother?"

Li Hong smiled with his white teeth: "Why not? Not to mention my second brother, even my second brother-in-law was 27 when he married my second sister."

Now the whole family knows that the twins were adopted, and naturally they also understand that Huo Xiao was a first-time bride when they got married.

Li Taohong choked and was about to say something when she heard her old son continue, "Besides, Fourth Auntie is not trustworthy at all. Who did she introduce to Second Sister back then? She said a lot about him, but when we met him in person, he was so ugly that I couldn't even say a word..."

While eating watermelon, Ruting was hit on the head by a pot. When she met her husband's narrow eyes, she felt terrible.

She is not, she doesn't have...

Li Taohong, who also saw the look in her second son-in-law's eyes, glared at her old son with annoyance: "Mom will arrange a blind date for you later. Fourth aunt, you don't want to? Fine! Anyway, we still have the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt and the fifth aunt! Let's arrange them one by one!"

Hong...

"How many times have you kissed before me?"

At night, lying on the warm kang bed, Tingting had just rolled around twice comfortably when she was startled by her husband's words.

She looked at the person speechlessly, wanting to protest that the person on the blind date was not her, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into: "...Four or five? I can't remember."

Huo Xiao was shocked: "There are actually four or five?"

Ruting was desperate: "Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me you haven't met her before?"

Huo Xiao: “No!”

Now it was Ting's turn to be surprised. She sat up with her hairy head on top and hugged the quilt, "Is this true?"

Huo Xiao raised his hand and pinched his wife's cheek, and said with itchy teeth: "There is no need for me to lie."

Even without mentioning her original body, she was forced to kiss several times in her previous life because of the enthusiasm of her colleagues or relatives... "Ahem...it's nothing. Although I have kissed several people, I only like you."

Captain Huo, who was coaxed, curled the corners of his lips and turned over to press his wife under him.

1. The...

Why did he suddenly bring up the past? The corners of her mouth twitched, she raised her hand to cover the man's lips, and said speechlessly: "You've been sitting in the car for several days, aren't you tired?"

Huo Xiao kissed his wife's palm and said with a smile, "Your waist and legs are stiff from sitting so it's a good time to move them around."

"Well...you...well...you will get pregnant without that."

"I brought it."

"..."

The next day.

Not surprisingly, Li Ting overslept again.

Fortunately, after a few days of running around, everyone got up late.

After breakfast, Li Ting, her husband, her mother-in-law and their children got on the carriage to the Xiangyang Brigade.

When Li Taohong saw them off, she held her in-laws' hands and couldn't help asking again, "Are you really not coming back today?"

Hu Xiu smiled and said, "I'm not coming back. I'll come back the day after tomorrow after attending Danier's wedding."

Ruting also said, "Mom, my mother-in-law misses home."

Hearing this, Li Taohong was too embarrassed to continue to keep them: "Then... I'll ask Shengli to borrow a carriage to pick you up the day after tomorrow."

Li Ting waved her hands and said, "No need. It's public property. It's not good to borrow too much. It's the same if we just walk over."

Li Taohong rolled her eyes at the lady and said, "Which one is borrowed for you? I borrowed it for the children."

1. The...

Huo Xiao squeezed his wife's hand, suppressed his smile and looked at his mother-in-law: "Mom, we have to go. Aren't you going to introduce someone to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Taohong's attention was indeed diverted.

Lu Hong glared at his second brother-in-law... This was revenge, absolutely!

"Dad, will you take us ice skating?" After her aunt and the others left, Xie Jiajia held her elder sister and younger sister's hands and looked up at them expectantly.

Hearing this, Li Taohong, who was used to having children, didn't even need her son-in-law to reply. She smiled and waved her hand: "Go ahead, go ahead...Xiao Xie, let Xiao Hong go with you. There's a bigger place at the end of the village, and there are more children."

Xie Hao looked at his wife and asked, "Are you going?"

Rui Rui waved her hand: "I won't go. I'll help mom cook at home."

So, the two tall and long-legged men, followed by a group of carrots, ran happily towards the end of the village.

Suddenly, the most excited kid Xie Jiajia in the distance cried out “Ouch!” and slipped and fell to his butt.

Pingping and her sister, who were being held by her, were not spared either and were dragged down and laid flat on the ground.

Then, the three of them burst into laughter...

"Hey, you scared me." Seeing the children being pulled up by her son-in-law and son, Li Taohong turned around and went back to the house with a smile.

Ruishuang took her mother's hand and smiled, "Jiajia is a good child. Pingping and Meimei were both a little timid before. My second sister said it was because they were too sensitive. Now they are amazing. The three girls are together, and they are really amazing."

Li Taohong laughed out loud: "Girls need to be more powerful." As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Lin Jiaojiao, who had been smiling but not saying anything, and took the opportunity to teach her: "You, too, need to be more powerful. Don't be polite to everyone."

Hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Don't worry, auntie, I'm also very powerful."

Looking at the girl with graceful features, Li Taohong raised her hand and nodded at her, obviously not believing that she could be that powerful. Finally, she said helplessly: "You..."

On the contrary, it was Lu Wei who looked at the little girl at home a few more times with his peach blossom eyes.

Ning Yu came over and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Wei's mouth: "It feels like... I have met someone of the same kind."

Ning Yu glanced at the girl with soft features and raised her lip in a good mood: "Not bad."

Wei Wei curled his eyes: "It's good." At least with this girl around, his parents won't suffer any loss: "Xiao Yu, let's go out for a walk too."

Although Ning Yu has been traveling around the country for work, she has seen snow scenes quite often.

However, I still can’t resist the romance of the snow-covered sky, especially with my beloved: “…Will you be watched?”

Wei Wei curved his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go to a place with fewer people."

"...good."

As a result, the main force lost another pair.

Li Taohong smiled and asked her second son to take her future daughter-in-law for a good look. Then, she did not rush back to the house, but asked her husband to go to the cellar to get some vegetables.

Ruiqing took Xiaoyue to check out the rabbit house. After all, when she left, the commune had not started breeding rabbits yet.

But unexpectedly, before she entered the rabbit house, she saw someone who looked familiar.

Li Xiaocao was wearing a patched jacket, a triangular scarf on her head, and carrying a basket. She smiled heartily at her former sister-in-law: "Brother... Shuangshuang, are you free? I have something to tell you."

She had no ill feelings towards her former sister-in-law, and was not surprised that she would come to her house. She first said a few words to Xiaoyue before walking towards her: "Sister Xiaocao, I'm sorry, I won't invite you to sit in the house."

Li Xiaocao took the hand of her former sister-in-law and whispered as they walked out: "I know it was right not to invite me in. I didn't want to come here in the first place, but those two old guys couldn't hold back their farts and wanted to come look for Roubao's kid. You have to be prepared... I'm telling you, don't be stupid. Don't soften your heart just because they cry a few times..."

As the two people walked further and further away, the sound of their conversation became increasingly vague. Lin Jiaojiao stood in the rabbit house and waited for ten minutes, but still no one showed up. She became a little worried, and when she was about to go over, she heard some rustling noises outside.

She slowly approached the door of the rabbit house, then lowered her eyes and saw an old lady tiptoeing through the gap in the window that was left open for ventilation.

This was the only family that had a conflict with the uncle and aunt. Lin Jiaojiao naturally recognized that this person was Sister Shuang Shuang’s ex-mother-in-law...Liu Dalan.

Thinking about the woman who pulled Sister Shuangshuang away, and the few words she said to her... and looking at the old woman's sneaky look, it's not difficult to guess that she was following us secretly.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes deepened. She turned around and gently picked up the wooden barrel beside her.

The bucket contained the rabbit dung that had just been cleaned out that morning.

These are good things for tending crops, so I always fill a bucket and then pour it into the designated place.

Now...it's the old woman who has the advantage.

I guess she wouldn't dare to make a big fuss!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao curled the corners of her mouth slightly, pushed the door open suddenly, staggered two steps, and poured half a bucket of feces on the other person's head.

Liu Dalan was stunned for a long time before she was brought back to her senses by the stench. She immediately slapped her thigh and jumped up and down: "Ah!!! You little bitch, are you blind?"

Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were red: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, auntie, I accidentally tripped..." Then she turned around and shouted into the house: "Uncle! Auntie! Come out, I spilled it on someone!"

This sound was like a basin of cold water poured over one's head.

After realizing where she was, Liu Dalan no longer cared about anything else. She covered her face with her hands, swearing, and ran away.

Inside the house, the couple, Shengli and Taohong, rushed out after hearing the noise and surrounded the little girl, asking anxiously, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Lin Jiaojiao curled her eyes and soothed him gently, "It's nothing, I accidentally spilled my feces on the ground."

Hearing this, Li Taohong slapped her chest and said with a smile: "You are a timid child. You need to exercise more in the future. It is better for a girl to be stronger..."

Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were full of cuteness: "Okay..."
