Chapter 80 Kiss

These past two days, Lin Shu came to the brigade to do the accounting during the day, and went back to cook early when it was almost time for dinner.

She did the accounting quickly and well, and made Lu Shaocai look like a piece of trash.

Every time she came to do the accounting, whether she was using the abacus or writing silently, Lu Shaocai felt like a mountain was pressing down on his head, and every time she went home, he would breathe a sigh of relief.

Damn it, a young widow caused him so much pressure, which made him very angry. He

always wanted to find an opportunity to give Lin Shu a good beating.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu only did the accounting every day, and never paid any attention to him, nor did she meddle in other people's business, so he could never find an opportunity.

Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Lin Shu will not go to the accounting office today, and will stay at home to prepare for the festival.

The pomegranates and pears at home can also be eaten, but they have an advantage over peaches and apricots. You don’t have to pick them when they are ripe. You can leave them on the tree and eat them slowly without them going bad in a short time.

The main reason is that the weather is cold and there are fewer birds, so there are not so many birds coming to steal the food.

Fang Dihua picked some pomegranates, pears, apples and dates a few days ago, but it was autumn harvest and there was no time for the daughters-in-law to go back to their parents’ home to deliver them. Instead, I asked Brother Lu to borrow a bicycle to take turns delivering them in the evening.

There are always six or seven relatives who need to deliver them. These are the ones who visit frequently, and they often send them to me when they have rare things.

Relatives are like this, they are close to each other when they visit each other.

In addition to relatives, I also need to send gifts to the families with good relationships, the brigade secretary, the brigade leader, and the production team leader.

Fang Dihua went to send the young lady home in person today, mainly to see if Xu's mother treated Lu Hehuan and Xu Xiaoyou harshly.

She was also worried that Lu Hehuan would be tired if she participated in the autumn harvest while pregnant, so she asked quietly, and Lu Hehuan said she was not pregnant.

She was too lazy to ask Xu Shihua whether he treated the young lady well or not, because it was the young couple's business, and it was unnecessary for her to interfere.

She sent her home at noon, so Xu Shihua should be at home.

The Xu family had a bicycle, so only Xu Shihua and Lu Hehuan participated in the autumn harvest. They didn't need to eat in the fields on weekdays, and could just ride home at noon.

Lu Hehuan and the bicycle were at home, and Xu Shihua should have been at home as well, but the mother-in-law sent fruits to her, and the son-in-law hid away?

Haha, really good!

Fang Dihua presented a basket with five or six large pomegranates, six or seven pears, and six or seven apples with dates filling the gaps.

These things grow on trees, and everyone is used to eating them in turn, so Fang Dihua didn't feel bad for others eating them.

Even if her daughter-in-law couldn't eat much, she still had to give them.

Xu Xiaoyou learned from Lin Shu that gifts should be returned after receiving them, so she took the basket into the house and filled it with hawthorns, walnuts, chestnuts, taro, etc., and then dragged it out with great effort. Fang Dihua was

a little suffocated at first, but when she saw the basket of things, she suddenly felt relieved.

Xu Xiaoyou is a sensible girl.

Did she take the same lesson from Ma Shenxian as the third daughter-in-law?

The young lady didn't have that blessing, she didn't have classes to attend.

Ignoring the gloomy face of Xu's mother, Fang Dihua said a few words to Xu Xiaoyou and the lady, and left happily with the basket of things.

Lu Hehuan chased her and gave her a dollar, but Fang Dihua refused, "I don't need your dollar? Buy yourself some delicious food."

After returning home, Fang Dihua and Lin Shu praised Xu Xiaoyou for being sensible, "It would be great if his aunt was as sensible as others."

Lin Shu said, "Everyone is sensible in different ways. She will be sensible sooner or later."

Other people send good things to their parents' home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but her family obviously has rare things but can't decide to send them to her parents' home. Lu Hehuan is not unfilial, so how could she not feel bad?

How could she not complain to Xu Shihua when she was upset?

Xu Shihua was used to being licked by her, how could he tolerate her complaining?

That would definitely lead to conflicts.

With too many conflicts, even the deepest love will have cracks in the brain.

As long as there is a little crack, wouldn't the water in the brain flow out?

Tiantian and Panpan were peeling pomegranate seeds on a plate. They wanted to make necklaces and earrings for their mother and Tiantian.

Ever since they heard from their grandmother and mother that their father would come back for the New Year, the two children began to look forward to the New Year. When they heard from their grandmother that August 15th was the Reunion Festival and that their grandfather would definitely come back, they thought that their father would also come back for a reunion.

They dressed neatly every day, washed their faces and hands, carried the youthful photo of Lu Shaotang with them, and went to the South Road to look at it ten or twenty times a day.

Lin Shu was afraid that they would always be disappointed, so she said that she wanted to wear pomegranate earrings today for the Mid-Autumn Festival and asked the two children to help her put them on.

Tiantian: "Grandma, when will my dad come back?"

She asked eight hundred times a day.

Fang Dihua was not bothered, "It's the New Year."

As she was speaking, she heard the voice of Lu Laodi greeting people outside, full of energy.

Just seeing him made her feel good.

The two children ran out to greet him like little swallows, "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

Lu Laodi came back with a lot of bags, smiling.

Fang Dihua helped him sort out his things, and brought back some ointments, a thick handwritten medical record, a bag of steamed buns, several five-nut mooncakes wrapped in red and brown paper, and another bag of pear paste candy.

Father Lu said that he worked at the county hospital during the day these days, and was invited to Dr. Yan's home at night. The two have become good friends who can talk about anything, discussing medical skills while studying food.

This pear paste candy was figured out by them based on the taste of their memories.

Fang Dihua stuffed the big bag of amber candy cubes to Panpan, "Keep it and share it with everyone."

Panpan is a little money-grubber and a miser, and Fang Dihua likes him to keep things and not waste anything.

He has already started to hide snacks for his father.

After lunch, Father Lu went to the infirmary, while Fang Dihua went to deliver food to the fields.

Lin Shu was stringing peppers at home and hanging them on the door frame to dry them, when Zhou Weimin came in.

He said cheerfully, "Sister Lin Shu, today everything is yours."

He began to take things out one by one.

The Lin family asked him to deliver a large grass carp to Lin Shu, which must have weighed five or six pounds, and some gala (river clams) that had spit out river sand.

There was also a letter from Wei Ling, which only contained two sentences, wishing her a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. The envelope also contained five kilograms of grain coupons, five feet of cloth coupons, one kilogram of oil coupons, and two milk powder coupons.

Lin Shu was a little surprised that Wei Ling was so considerate and generous to her. It seemed that she really regarded her as a friend.

She would return the gift when she had the chance.

Zhou Weimin continued to take things out, and there was even a remittance slip from "Chen Yanming"!

It was originally supposed to arrive after the 20th, but it was probably brought forward this month because of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lin Shu took a look and saw that Lu Shaotang's salary and allowance... had increased again? It was originally over a hundred, which was already very high, but now it was over 120.

It's great to have a man who can make money but doesn't come back to annoy people!

She felt more at ease lying down.

Lin Shu was so happy that she smiled so brightly that Zhou Weimin was dazzled.

He quickly said, "There's more."

He bent down and took out a square package from the grass-green bag on the back seat of the bicycle.

Originally, Lin Shu should have gone to the post office to get it herself, but Zhou Weimin had a good relationship with her and brought it directly to her.

Lin Shu was very surprised. Who sent the package to her?

She took a look and saw that it was "Chen Yanming" again. It was sent from the capital?

What game did Lu Shaotang play?

Lin Shu invited Zhou Weimin to go home to drink some water and eat a vegetable roll to fill his stomach. She also packed a few pomegranates and a bunch of dates for him to take with him.

Tiantian and Panpan had already rushed over when they heard the postman's bell, and now they took small scissors to open the package.

This time the package was not in a courier plastic bag, but a special cloth bag, and inside was a tin box!

"Wow!"

A tall square dark blue bucket!

This bucket made the children feel very high-end.

They had never seen such a big bucket before, not even in the countryside, and not even in their second aunt's house!

The two children couldn't wait to pry it open, but the lid was tightly closed and couldn't be opened.

They called Lin Shu for help.

Lin Shu wanted to use a chisel to pry it open, but the two children were afraid of peeling off the paint, so they were reluctant to do so.

In the end, Lin Shu used a wooden shovel and a towel to pry it open.

As soon as they opened it, the two kids couldn't wait to look inside.

"Wow! Cookies!"

"Wow! Pencil case!"

"Wow! Tin car!"

"Wow! Pink gauze!"

"Wow! Bunnies, a boy and a girl."

...

Every time they took out something, the two kids exclaimed in amazement. They had never seen anything like it before!

"This is what Dad sent!"

"Dad always thinks about us."

"Hey, why isn't there anything from Mom?" The two kids were a little confused. They all belonged to the two of them.

Lin Shu explained, "Grandma and I don't need anything. It's too far and too expensive to send it from the capital, so we'll just send it to the little baby."

Tiantian: "Let's eat this cookie together. Just think of it as something sent to the whole family."

A head flower.

Tiantian immediately took it out and wanted to put it on Lin Shu.

Lin Shu put it on her quickly and coaxed her to look in the mirror.

Panpan praised her profusely, "It's beautiful, beautiful, even prettier than the girl in the picture!"

Although everyone praised Tiantian for her beauty, Tiantian was even happier because the hair ornament her father sent her was different.

So happy.

In the afternoon, the two kids couldn't put down the things their father sent them, especially the pair of rabbits, which were similar to their squeaking tigers, both made of clay, with bright colors on them, and especially beautiful.

Tiantian began to make up a story for Panpan. The male rabbit was the father, the female rabbit was the mother, and the two squeaking tigers were Tianbaoer and Panzaier.

"Daddy kisses mom, daddy kisses Tianbaoer, daddy kisses Panzaier..."

"Mom kisses..."

The two children had a lot of fun playing, and Lin Shu was very happy to hear them.

Originally, she didn't care whether Lu Shaotang would come back or not, but since she met him, and seeing her son miss him so much, Lin Shu thought it would be better for him to come back. It would be pleasing to

her eyes to have a tall and handsome man in front of her all day, right?

"Mom, why are you blushing?" Panpan suddenly stared at Lin Shu and asked.

Lin Shu: "Oh, it's too spicy to make chopped peppers. Get up quickly, don't let the chili oil sting you."

She made chopped peppers, and the peppers planted in the yard gradually turned red, and each piece looked very beautiful.

In addition to making fresh chopped peppers, she also used needle and thread to string some peppers and hung them by the door to dry. There are always garlic and peppers hanging on the door frame of the farmer's house, ready for use.

She sharpened the knife very sharply, chopped off the fish head, and made a chopped pepper fish head.

Then she made a tofu clam soup, which was delicious with leeks.

She also sliced ​​fish, marinated it with egg white, and made a big pot of homemade pickled fish.

There was no authentic pickled cabbage, but her own pickled cabbage, which included pickled radish, pickled cabbage, pickled beans, pickled ginger, pickled cabbage, etc.

Anyway, no matter what side dishes are used, it is appetizing and delicious in a pot.

She also chopped chili peppers and poured boiling oil on them luxuriously, instantly stimulating the unique aroma of hot oil and chili peppers. .

The smell was carried directly to the sky by the autumn wind, the kind that could make the neighbors cry.

The fish soup with chili oil will not be wasted. She will continue to cook tomorrow and will drink it up in the end.

Cut a plate of salted duck eggs that he pickled himself, and make egg yolk pumpkin for the children.

Because of this dish, Lu An now calls his auntie extra sweet.

The dinner was very rich, with fish and meat, and the whole family ate happily.

Today, Lu's eldest daughter, Lu Xiuxiu, also came back to celebrate the festival.

Lu's eldest brother said to his daughter: "Xiuxiu, learn to be a tailor as soon as possible, and earn money to buy meat for dad."

Fang Dihua almost hit him with chopsticks.

Mrs. Lu stuffed a piece of fish meat into his mouth to prevent him from saying anything wrong and getting beaten.

Father Lu was also happy. It was great that his third son could go home for the New Year this year. He generously asked his sons and daughters-in-law to accompany him for a few drinks.

As a result, Lin Shu and Mrs. Lu's baby food went into Mr. Lu's stomach again.

After dinner, Fang Dihua distributed moon cakes, pomegranates and apples to the children, making them eat happily.

But when she turned around, Tiantian and Panpan were gone.

Lin Shu: "They went to the gate. I'll go check."

Lin Shu walked over quietly and saw the two children sitting on the gate, their little hands supporting their cheeks, looking up at the big, round moon.

Tiantian: "I really hope that Dad can come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight."

Panpan: "Maybe we can see Dad after a good sleep?"

Tiantian: "Do you think he misses us?"

Panpan: "Of course he does, otherwise how can I dream about him every day?"

Tiantian hesitated, "Do you think that Dad will marry a princess outside and give us a brother or sister?"

Panpan was shocked: "Impossible! Where can there be a princess now?"

Tiantian: "Then Xue Pinggui..."

Panpan: "What's Xue Pinggui? Dad is much better than him. Mom didn't dig wild vegetables!"

Lin Shu: "………………"

Where did you two learn this? Did Jin Ping'er tell you?

The Mid-Autumn Festival that the son has been thinking about may give a surprise to his father - Dad suddenly comes home, but it didn't happen after all.

The next day, the two children unexpectedly stayed in bed and refused to get up, as if as long as they didn't sleep, the day would not come and their father might come back.

Panpan's face turned pale because he had to hold his urine.

The family members had gone to the fields after dinner, and Lu Xiuxiu also rode her bike to see her mother. Lin Shu went into the house and called the children to get up and eat.

Tiantian was pretending to be sad and melancholy, imitating the great poets who recited poems as described by her grandfather. She hugged Grandpa Rabbit with her left hand and waved her right hand, "Grandpa said that the moon is especially bright during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people miss each other more during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Alas, I am suffering from lovesickness."

Lin Shu was laughing so hard. Seeing Panpan trying to hold it in, she quickly reminded him, "If you keep holding it in, you will hurt the little calf. Grandpa Rabbit will laugh at you."

Panpan muttered, "Mom, did my dad come home last night?"

Lin Shu couldn't bear to see her child sad, so she made up a story, "He did. He came back in the middle of the night and left in a hurry without even a sip of water."

Tiantian and Panpan got up, each holding a Grandpa Rabbit, "Really?" Their

big eyes were shining with surprise.

Lin Shu: "..." She felt so guilty for lying to a child, telling one lie after another.

In order to make the lie smaller and less likely to be exposed, she whispered, "Really, he climbed over the wall quietly. Only grandma and I know about it. Your grandfather, the first grandfather and the second grandfather were all drunk and slept very deeply yesterday, so they didn't hear anything."

Too many people knew about it, and the two children would pester this and question that, which would easily expose the truth.

Mother-in-law has experience in this regard.

The two children were very anxious, "What did Dad say? What did he do?"

"Grandpa fell asleep too? Oh, what a pity, we fell asleep too."

Although she said it was a pity, it sounded as if grandpa falling asleep would give them great comfort.

Lin Shu: "He only had time to kiss Tiantian's little hands, and then kissed Panpan's stinky feet."

As for why he kissed the feet, it was of course because the child slept like a clock at night, and in the middle of the night, the feet happened to be facing outwards.

Tiantian immediately kissed her own little hands, and then looked at Panpan's feet with disdain, "Ah~"

Panpan looked at her white and tender feet in surprise and affection, her toes moved, and she laughed, "Then I can't wash my feet."

Tiantian: "--"

Panpan looked up at Lin Shu: "Mom, where did Dad kiss you?"

Lin Shu's face flushed, and she coughed, "There was not enough time, and he didn't kiss anywhere!"

The two kids didn't believe it, and immediately pried Lin Shu to ask where he kissed.

Lin Shu hurriedly carried them down, "Hurry up and go to the toilet, you're about to pee on the kang."

After going to the toilet, the two kids washed their hands and ate. Tiantian held up her left hand that had been "kissed", and put her right hand in the basin for Panpan to help wash. After washing, the two of them were not in a hurry to eat, but pestered Lin Shu to ask where her father kissed her.

What could Lin Shu do?

She was just telling a white lie to coax the children, how could she know that the kids would pester her?

The key is that she would just lie, but she was nagged by the two kids last night and her head was buzzing. After falling asleep, she began to dream.

What's wrong with dreaming?

She happened to dream that Lu Shaotang came back and kissed her so hard that she almost couldn't breathe!

It must be the shadow of the last time he pressed her against the door and kissed her!

Seeing that the two boys were in a low mood in the morning, she brought up the dream to trick them, but who knew that she was entangled.

In the end, she could only say that her father also kissed her left hand. There was a red mark on the back of her hand from cooking fish yesterday. The white skin and fine mark were very obvious, and it has not faded yet.

The two boys kissed the red spot for her, and continued to ask if their father also kissed their forehead, nose or mouth.

"Huahua said her father..."

Lin Shu quickly stopped them and told them not to go to the street to listen to nonsense.

Lin Shu rolled eggs with pancakes for the two boys and led them to the accounting office.

The two boys looked at Tiantian's left hand that was "kissed" every few steps along the way, and then giggled.

Lin Shu: "..."

Arriving at the accounting office, Lin Shu counted the accounts while Tiantian and Panpan played with other children.

During the two days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huahua, Huzi and other children could also rest, and they all ran over to play with the two kids.

They saw Tiantian holding up her left hand with a mysterious look, and asked what was going on.

Tiantian: "Hehe. This is my fairy hand."

Huzi: "Like the gods, who will swish when they wave their hands?"

Panpan: "Yes, so stay away, or I won't swish you."

Hu Zi was very excited: "Give me a xiu, give me a xiu, I want a xiu."

Hua Hua and the others also wanted to xiu.

The children were playing together with laughter. Tian Tian tried to protect the purity of her hands to prevent others from taking away her father's kiss.

Chang Xiao Gang hid aside, rubbing his uncomfortable feet. He felt as if a hundred autumn tigers were crawling in his heart.

He felt that Tian Tian and Pan Pan's smiles were so dazzling.

Grandma said that if they went to play with her that day, the brazer would catch them and not her.

Her feet would not have to be lame.
