Chapter 110 Nephews



Chapter 110 Nephews

After the guests left, Father Lin dragged a strange little car out of the south room and put it in the main room for Lu Shaotang and Lin Yue to help him play with it.

Panpan excitedly rushed over, "Tractor! Grandma, is it for me?"

Father Lin smiled and said, "Yes, for you and Tiantian."

Father Lin was the head of the logistics team in the agricultural machinery team, in charge of repairing cars and other things, and only assisted in driving.

He had learned carpentry and had good hands-on skills. He learned car repair quickly and repaired well. Now he was thinking about making something.

He used wood, old agricultural machinery and tractor parts to make a small car that combined wood and metal.

Three old rubber tires, with steering wheel, driver's seat, pedals, chain and other parts.

This car took Lin's father a long time to make.

He invited Lu Shaotang and Panpan Tiantian to help him build the small tractor.

Of course, the two children were happy to do it.

They stayed at Lin's house for two days, and the grandfather and his friends finished the three-wheeled small tractor.

Two children can sit in the car, and the tractor will run when they pedal together.

For safety, Lu Shaotang also installed brakes.

The children on the street also became the little followers of the two children, lining up to ask to drive together.

The two children enjoyed the pleasure brought by luxury cars at a young age.

Only Bao Er Si was not interested at all. He just wanted to sit inside and let others pull him. He didn't want to help pedal at all.

Pan Pan shouted helplessly: "You are really the biggest lazy egg in the world!"

These two days, Lin Shu also told her parents and brother about her second sister in detail.

The last time she came back, she was in a hurry, and she was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she didn't tell them in detail this time.

They were surprised and surprised. They didn't blame their second sister for getting divorced suddenly, but they were surprised that Qian Lisheng suddenly changed like a different person?

The whole family found it incredible.

Because Qian Lisheng used to give them the feeling that he was really warm and kind, and generous to others. Anyway, he was always very kind and generous to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, etc., and he didn't put on airs at all.

He was also very caring and considerate to the second sister, how could he suddenly... as if he had never known this person before.

Lin's father and mother sighed, and were also glad that the second daughter's divorce was successful and that there was no child to burden her.

Lin's mother began to wipe her tears again, feeling sorry for the grievances suffered by the second sister, and was afraid that the leaders and colleagues in the factory would laugh at and exclude her. She knew that she would feel better after going to the power supply bureau.

She also reminded Lin's father and Lin Yue not to tell others about the daughter's divorce for the time being, not even Aunt Lin and Zhou's mother.

Uncle Lin and Lin's father discussed that since the son-in-law was there, they might as well take the opportunity to kill the New Year pig to entertain the son-in-law.

Lin's father naturally agreed.

So Uncle Lin, Father Lin, and Zhou Weimin killed the New Year pig together, and asked Lin Shu to teach them how to make the sausage, halved pork head, and offal.

Although they didn't have as many seasonings as Lin Shu had collected, the halved pork tasted good as long as it was cooked to the right temperature and had a few main seasonings to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, so no one forced it.

After killing the New Year pig, the three families also made sausages and cooked a pot of halved pork under Lin Shu's guidance.

Father Lin felt that there were not many people in his family, so he reserved half a rib and a large piece of pork belly, and let his daughter-in-law and son-in-law take them back.

Lin Shu made the most tender tenderloin into sweet and sour tenderloin and crispy pork for the children.

Tiantian and Panpan had eaten many good things, but they were still squinting their eyes at the sweet and sour tenderloin and crispy pork.

Baoer even learned to speak new words, and said in a loud voice: "The meat cooked by my aunt is delicious, very delicious!"

Lin's father and mother were surprised. This child finally said long sentences?

For two days in a row, the aroma of salted meat began to spread throughout the village of Linjiatun, which attracted other families to kill pigs and stew big meat.

Many people came to ask Lin Shu how to make the sausage, and they also wanted to try it.

Some families didn't know how to clean it, and they were afraid that if they didn't clean it cleanly, the sausage would be dirty and smelly, so they came to ask Lin Shu to help them.

How could Lin Shu make it for them!

Her family's sausage was still cleaned by Lu Erge and others.

Lin Shu suggested: "My uncle and aunt are very good at cleaning, why not let them help."

It is not worth going to anyone's house alone to clean up a pair of pig intestines. Someone suggested that all the pigs killed on the day be sent to Uncle Lin's house, and then taken back to stew the pig dishes after cleaning.

Four cents per pair is enough.

Cleaning the intestines requires coarse salt, sweet potato flour, and a lot of hot water, so give an extra two cents for the materials.

The pigs have been killed during the New Year, so these few cents are not a big deal.

Aunt Lin never thought that she could make a few dollars with Lin Shu at the end of the year. How much dividends did she get from the team throughout the year? It's good to make a few dollars in just a few days of hard work.

She was very grateful to Lin Shu, and naturally had a better relationship with the second wife.

Lin Shu originally wanted her to help Lin's mother more, so naturally everyone was happy.

Tomorrow next year, on the afternoon of the 22nd, Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang will take their children home.

Lin's father prepared a small tractor for the children. Lin Yue went to the southern reservoir and bought two large grass carps. Zhou's mother, Mrs. Lin, also gave gifts.

When they returned home, they couldn't fit it into one of their bicycles, so Lin's mother asked Lin Yue to borrow a bicycle to help deliver it there.

Father Lu got off work early today, and during the Chinese New Year tomorrow, he has to take his son and grandson to visit the grave to pay homage.

During the holidays, the family prepares delicious food, and before eating it, one has to make offerings to the ancestors.

Otherwise it is unfilial.

Therefore, it is customary to worship ancestors no matter how poor you are.

Father Lu is filial, so he naturally values ​​this more.

He personally brought his three sons, along with Lu Ping and Lu An, to pay respect to his ancestors and his parents, and to let them know that everything was fine at home.

Before Old Man Lu and his family left, Lu Shaocai started crying at home.

Because his second uncle didn't call him, he felt excluded and despised, so he called his three sons to pay respect to his grandfather and his grandmother and mother.

He wanted to challenge Old Man Lu.

You didn't call me?

You don't call me?

How dare you not call me?

Old Man Lu ignored him completely. Ever since he only burned paper for his own grandmother but not for his second grandmother, Old Man Lu was disappointed with him.

He "beat" Lin Shu again, and Old Man Lu completely let him go. He turned a blind eye to it and ignored him no matter how he jumped around.

Lu Shaocai is just jumping around in a vain way now, because Lu Shaotang is back.

If he dares to act arrogantly with Old Man Lu, Lu Shaotang can just dig a hole and bury him. Lu Shaotang has done this before. During the years when Lu Shaocai and Lu Shaotang were both in the capital, Uncle Lu would invite Lu Shaotang to dinner

whenever he had time . Lu Shaotang was busy with training, so he was called several times. Lu Shaocai took advantage of this opportunity to squeeze him. Lu Shaotang didn't argue with his stupid and old cousin, but Lu Shaocai thought that he didn't dare to argue with him because he felt he owed the eldest cousin, so he became even more aggressive and even said bad things about Lu's father. As a result, Lu Shaotang didn't leave after dinner that day, but took the initiative to stay overnight. At night, Lu Shaocai dragged him to the yard and buried him. It was the orderly who found it in the morning. Fortunately, Lu Shaotang was just teaching him a lesson and didn't make the soil firm for him. After knowing this, Uncle Lu not only didn't blame Lu Shaotang, but scolded Lu Shaocai instead. Anyway, Lu Shaocai didn't dare confront Lu Shaotang head-on, fearing that this fool would kill him without regard for family affection. "Second uncle, this won't work. We have to go to the cemetery together, otherwise my grandfather will be disappointed." Lu Laodie: "How? I didn't stop you from going to the cemetery?" Lu Shaocai took the initiative to burn paper money for Lu Laodie's parents, "Second uncle, it's not that I don't want to burn paper money for my second grandmother. I was so confused at the time that I didn't know what was going on. I must have been possessed by wild ghosts outside." He burned so much paper money for his own grandmother, and the grandmother of Da Ma and Daniu didn't bless him. Forget it, I won't burn paper money for her in the future! Lu Laodie tacitly agreed to the custom of the two families going to the cemetery together to worship their ancestors in the future. After all, he and his eldest brother have the same father. If he is so estranged from his nephew, it will be difficult for the eldest brother. Seeing that his father had given in, Lu Shaocai thought that the two families had reconciled, so he continued to move forward with a drooling face. He wanted to eat that delicious salted meat! He wanted to eat that sausage! Unfortunately, Fang Dihua didn't take it out and let him kill the New Year pig himself. Originally, Lu Shaotang would never mention the incident of burying Lu Shaocai at the age of 14 to anyone in his life, but Lin Shu suddenly acted like a spoiled child at night and wanted to deprive him of his sweet night. He was a little uncomfortable with the sudden interruption of the sweet and sweet days these days. "Wife?" Lin Shu whispered: "Lu Shaotang, stop it, don't indulge too much, we are still young and need to take care of our bodies." Lu Shaotang: "I take good care of it." He exercises non-stop, not even for a day. Lin Shu just disagreed. Since she drank too much that night, he suddenly got the hang of it. His skills improved by leaps and bounds and he became so versatile that even she, who claimed to be knowledgeable , could not cope with it. Lin Shu felt that this man was learning too fast and couldn't let him be too proud. She had to put the brakes on. She relied on Lu Shaotang's good temper and knew that he would not force her as long as she disagreed, so she dared to act like a spoiled child. She turned over and faced away from him, refusing to accept the temptation of his abdominal muscles. "Making clothes is really tiring. Let's go to sleep." Lu Shaotang stayed still for three seconds, then whispered in her ear, "Wife, let me give you a massage." He had discovered long ago that whenever he leaned over and whispered in her ear, she had no resistance. Lin Shu closed her eyes, ah ah ah ah, this man is so cowardly, how could he be like that, where did he learn it? As long as Lu Shaotang seduced her, she really fell without any resistance. So he gave his wife a massage very considerately. Lin Shu felt that it was too ambiguous to just massage without talking, and she wanted to hear his voice, so she asked him to tell her a story. What kind of story would Lu Shaotang tell! He could only tell the truth. He encountered many funny things while carrying out the mission, but he couldn't tell them. Chen Yanming had many embarrassing things, but he couldn't betray his brother. So he had to tell his wife about the stupid things of Lu Shaocai. Therefore, the young couple spent another sweet and wonderful night. When Lu Shaotang got up the next day for morning exercises, he still had a smile on his face. Lu Changfu, who habitually climbed through the cracks in the wall to peek at the second master's house when he had time, happened to see the smile on Lu Shaotang's face and hiccuped in surprise, causing Lu Shaotang to retract his smile and gave him a cold look, which scared him so much that he fell to the ground. He was afraid that Lu Shaotang would know that he climbed over the wall every day to spy on Lin Shu, so he didn't dare to say anything and quietly hid away. On the 24th, Fang Dihua directed Lu Shaotang and others to sweep the house inside and out. On the 25th, seeing that he hadn't left yet, Lin Shu asked him to grind tofu with a large stone mill. Usually she used a small stone mill to grind soybean milk for everyone to drink, but this time she didn't use it. She first made a small pot of tofu pudding, peeled a few sheets of fried tofu, pressed thin sheets of thousand sheets, and pressed two different types of tofu, tender and old. With tofu, there are many more dishes for the Chinese New Year, such as vegetarian chicken, pan-fried tofu, mapo tofu, fish head tofu, sauce tofu, frozen tofu, tofu dumplings, tofu buns, fried tofu balls... Lin Shu originally thought that Lu Shaotang could spend the Chinese New Year at home before leaving, but he was picked up before dawn on the 26th and said he would go home for the Chinese New Year in a few days. The two children were used to their father coming back in the middle of the night and leaving early in the morning, so they were not surprised. However, Lu Ping was quite disappointed. These days, Lu Shaotang was at home and got up early to exercise. Lu Ping followed his uncle to exercise. His uncle even corrected his movements step by step. Lin Shu's foot was fine, and she had to finish the clothes in the next two days, so that people could take them away before New Year's Eve and wear them during the first month of the lunar year. According to custom, people would not sew from the first month of the lunar year to the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon's head is raised, for fear of piercing the dragon's eye. Although Lu Xiuxiu didn't know how to cut, put on sleeves and collars, she did a good job in other tasks and helped Lin Shu a lot.

Fang Dihua, Lu Ping and even Lu An all helped Lin Shu. They could sew buttons and hems, which was easy for Lin Shu.

Lu Ersao also wanted to help, but she didn't do much work. Instead, she was jealous of the scraps of cloth and wanted to use them to make shoe uppers.

What she asked for were not scraps of cloth, but the leftover fabric. Lin Shu was not greedy. Whenever a customer asked for the leftover fabric, she would return it to the customer even if it was only a few scraps. What's more, it was more than a foot long.

Of course, she refused Lu Ersao.

Lu Ersao was angry again.

Lu Ersao was holding her breath and refused to help her. She thought that if she didn't help, she wouldn't be able to handle it, and it would be her loss.

She was waiting for Lin Shu to beg her, but how could Lin Shu ask her for help?

Why ask Lu Ersao to do anything when Zhao Meifeng is free to be

called over? She called Zhao Meifeng over the wall to button and hem the clothes, which made Fang Dihua stunned.

The third daughter-in-law is really capable!

She whispered to Lu Lao Dad, "Our third daughter-in-law is really a character. Look at how the eldest niece's wife is called over by her."

Lu Lao Dad laughed and said, "That's true. Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about our third son. He is a troublemaker that even the leaders say is difficult to command. Did he say no to his wife?"

That's true.

Don't talk about Zhao Meifeng and Lu Shaotang, even the old couple are the same, right?

If someone else asks them to do something, it's not that easy, but whatever Lin Shu says, they will do it happily immediately.

Including Lu Dasao, Lu Daxiong, Lu Erxiong, and Lu Ping.

Even Aunt Li next door would ask Lin Shu if she had any work for them every now and then, fearing that Lin Shu would be embarrassed or unfamiliar to call them.

Aunt Qiu and Aunt Wang made delicious sauce, so this year Lin Shu asked them to help boil soybeans and pound big sauce blocks, which were now spread on the beams of her own cabbage house.

Since the third daughter-in-law changed her temper, the family's life has been getting better and better, and more and more prosperous.

The old couple felt so happy.

On the 28th, Lu Xiuxiu finally learned how to put on her sleeves.

It is easy to look at flowers, but difficult to embroider them.

Watching others make clothes, they cut with scissors and then run them on the sewing machine. How easy is that?

It is too difficult to really do it yourself.

How should I cut?

How should I run?

This hand is obviously my own, why doesn't it obey me?

Fortunately, Lu Xiuxiu has a basic foundation. Lin Shu taught her several times and told her the key tips, so that she knows why she does it this way, and she can draw inferences when she encounters such problems in the future.

If you only know the result but not the reason, you can only copy and paste, but you can't solve the problem or innovate the style yourself.

That is not the teaching method that Lin Shu advocates.

She taught Lu Xiuxiu how to put on the collar, and she could get rid of the collar work.

Lu Xiuxiu is a very serious and responsible person. Once she learns something, she really learns it. She does it in a very strict way without any fuss. This is a perfect example of the effect of strict teachers producing excellent students.

While she was busy, Lu's elder sister and her brother-in-law Ding Runsheng came over with their three children.

The eldest is Ding Guohua, the second is Ding Guowen, and the third is Ding Guowu.

The eldest is two years older than Lu Xiuxiu. After the Chinese New Year, he will be 17 years old. He is in the growth period of his stature. He is tall and slender, with delicate features and looks like a handsome young man.

The Lu family is good-looking. Although they don't have to pick out the appearance of their daughter-in-law except Lin Shu, their sons and daughters are all good-looking, and their daughters look for someone with above-average looks.

The eldest brother-in-law is also good-looking, and he is also a bright presence among a group of people.

As soon as they entered the house, Ding Runsheng and the children greeted the family members warmly.

Big Brother Lu, Big Sister Lu, Second Brother Lu and Second Sister Lu also came over, greeted warmly and talked about the latest news, especially Xu Ermao.

Old Father Lu happily invited the three grandchildren to sit on the kang, and asked Panpan to bring candy and snacks to the brothers.

"Grandma, grandma, where is my uncle?" The third nephew Ding Guowu was chubby and liked to play war games the most at this time.

Fang Dihua: "He left early this morning."

"Huh?" The three nephews were obviously disappointed.

The second nephew looked disappointed and complained to Big Sister Lu. She insisted that she come, saying that she had to come to see her uncle when he came back, but he left. If she had known that he would not come, she might as well go skating on the river with him.

He immediately called Lu Ping, Lu An and others, "The river in your village is frozen, let's go ice skating."

Lu An: "Not now, I have to help Third Auntie button her shirt."

Ding Guowen looked at him in surprise, with an uncontrollable look of contempt on his face, "Buttoning? No way, Lu Ping, you are a grown man, doing a woman's job?" Ding Guohua

immediately glanced at his second brother and reminded him, "What are you talking about, Lu Ping is younger than you, he is more capable than you."

He turned his head to look at the west room, "Where is Xiuxiu?"

Lin Shu and Lu Xiuxiu came out of the west room and greeted Big Sister Lu and her husband. She explained, "Xiuxiu was making a dress for me. She was halfway through putting on the sleeves and couldn't leave them, so she came out just now."

Sister Lu pulled Lu Xiuxiu and stroked her back, "Our Xiuxiu is getting prettier and prettier. She looks like a grown-up girl."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "She's 1.70cm taller than me."

Sister Lu said, "You're not short. It's our family that's tall. Panpan and Tiantian will be taller too in the future."

She pulled Lin Shu and joked, "Shaotang's wife, now that Shaotang is here, you should be... what, pregnant again, right?"

She asked in front of so many people. Lin Shu was embarrassed and smiled without saying anything.

Sister Lu continued, "It's time for them to be pregnant. Tiantian and Panpan will be six after the Chinese New Year. It's time for them to have younger brothers and sisters. Second brother's family, you haven't made any progress yet?" Second sister-in-law

Lu's face turned green.

Fang Dihua interrupted her, "Are your parents-in-law at home? Your father-in-law said he would come to have a drink with your father, why hasn't he come?"

Sister Lu was attracted and started talking about her parents-in-law.

Ding Guohua asked Lu Xiuxiu downstairs, "Why did you go home so early this year? I went to the tailor shop to look for you that day, but couldn't find you. Why didn't you come home for two days before going home?" He glanced towards the west room, "It's very tiring to work for the master on weekdays. It's okay to take a two-day break during the holiday and then go home to work."

Lu Xiuxiu: "My third aunt took on some work that I can't finish by myself, so I came back to help." She whispered, "Third aunt taught me a lot of things, more than the master taught me, and she also paid me for making clothes."

Ding Guohua was very surprised, "Really?"

He thought his aunt-in-law was deliberately calling Lu Xiuxiu for nothing.

After chatting for a while, Sister Lu said, "Guohua, take Lu Ping and go call your aunt. How can she and her uncle not come when we come?"

Ding Guohua said to Lu Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, let's go."

Lu Xiuxiu hesitated, "You go, I'll finish sewing the other sleeve."

After that, she trotted to the west room to continue pedaling the sewing machine.

She had just learned how to sew sleeves from Lin Shu, and was still immersed in the joy of learning a new skill that her master said was very difficult. She wanted to continue that joy.
