Lu Xiaotang went up the mountain after breakfast.
This time he brought back two sets of old military uniforms, which he wore when he was on missions. There were several holes on them, but the clothes still looked new, so he asked her to alter them to be smaller for Xiao Mo.
Xu Ning was sitting in the yard making clothes while Xiao Mo was playing with Niupi Tang at the door. The boy had come here several times and asked when the clothes would be ready because he wanted to wear them.
"When you return to Beijing, I will make it for you so you can wear it on the train."
The two brothers are planning to go back the day after tomorrow. Today Xiao An took Jianhua to the factory. Their team leader and director both agreed that Jianhua could take his shift, so they went to the factory today to get familiar with the situation.
Xiao Mo touched the half-sewn clothes his sister had made.
"Sister, please make the pocket bigger for me so I can put more things in it."
Seeing that he liked it very much, Xu Ning also sped up his hands.
"Dad!" As soon as Lu Xiaotang opened the door, Niu Niu and Pi Pi ran over and hugged his legs.
He picked up his son and walked into the yard.
Xiao Mo also ran over to help him take the backpack.
"Brother-in-law, how's your luck today?"
"Let me take it, it's a bit heavy!" Lu Xiaotang didn't give him the backpack.
He laughed and said, "We are lucky, we have meat to eat tonight!"
Xu Ning also put down the clothes in his hands and went to take a look. There was a roe deer and two rabbits in the backpack.
Lu Xiaotang was afraid of scaring the children, so he asked Xiao Mo to take them to the cowshed to play for a while while he went to skin the cows in the yard.
After Xu's father and mother and Lu's father and mother left, Grandpa Qi was the only one left in the cowshed.
In the past two years, three more calves were added. Now there are a total of nine cows, and Grandpa Qi is too busy to handle it all by himself.
The village chief asked two lonely old men in the village to live with him and help Grandpa Qi take care of the nine cows.
After school, Xiao Mo helped feed the cows and clean the yard. In the evening, he went to talk to Grandpa Qi and sometimes slept there.
Grandpa Qi was sitting in the yard talking to two old men. When he saw Xiao Mo coming over with the toffee, he didn't have time to greet him.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi threw themselves into his arms and shouted affectionately, "Grandpa, we miss you!"
Tangtang also ran over and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Tangtang misses you too. Tangtang is here to see you."
Grandpa Qi's eyes were all smiles. He hugged the children and said, "Oh, my dears, Grandpa misses you too."
Xu Mo looked at them and shook his head helplessly. He ran here several times a day and expressed his longing for them every time he saw them, just like he was performing a big drama.
The two old men next to them also looked at them with a smile. They all felt that the seventh brother was blessed. These grandchildren were very filial to him and took good care of everything from his food to his clothes.
Every morning, his grandson and his son-in-law would come over to help fetch water and clean the yard, and both of them benefited a lot.
Whenever they made something delicious, they would send it to them. Lao Qi never ate alone, he always ate with them.
Xiao Mo walked over, sat between the two old men and said with a smile, "Second Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, my sister told me to tell you not to cook for lunch. I'll bring the food to you later."
Seeing that Niupitang and Grandpa Qi were having fun, he said, "You guys are talking here, I'll go to the kitchen and make you some cakes."
The two old men hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Young man Mo, we still have a lot of steamed bread that we made this morning, enough for us to eat. There are also vegetables in the backyard. Just give some to your seventh grandfather, and don't send them to us."
Xu Mo clapped their hands and said, "Second Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, you two are my Seventh Grandpa's brothers, so what's wrong with eating some of our food?
Besides, I don’t send it to you every day. My brother-in-law was lucky today and picked up a rabbit in the mountains while chopping firewood.
Hand it over. There’s only so much meat and we can’t share it all, so my sister stewed it, saying that you’ve worked hard taking care of the cows in our village and this is a way to nourish your bodies. ”
Several old men were coaxed into laughing by him and kept praising the siblings for being so thoughtful.
When Lu Xiaotang brought over a pot of food, Niupitang was sitting on the necks of the three old men and giggling.
He quickly put the dishes in the kitchen and said, "Come down, Niupitang, it's really unruly to sit on Grandpa's neck."
Niupitious kids were a little scared when they saw their dad’s stern face. Usually their dad didn’t talk to them like this. Today he was really fierce.
Grandpa Qi glared at him and said, "Why are you yelling at them? I told them to sit down."
Lu Xiaotang looked helplessly at the three old men, dragging their sticky candies around in the yard.
Xu Mo was watching enviously from the side. He walked over, squatted down and said, "Come up!"
Xu Mo was looking at them with envy. When he heard his brother-in-law say this, he asked excitedly: Brother-in-law, will you let me ride a big horse too? ”
Damalu Xiaotang...
"Do you want to come up? If not, I'm leaving." As he said this, he prepared to get up.
Xu Mo immediately pulled him and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'll go up. I'll go up right away."
Lu Xiaotang lifted him up and put him on his neck. The boy hugged his head and screamed with excitement.
He walked around the yard helplessly carrying Xiao Mo on his back, and the guy sitting on his neck kept telling him to walk faster.
