Chapter 860 Celebrating the New Year Together (Additional Update 2)
"Nothing like in the city, building a house requires the use of reinforced concrete, and it is a building, and the foundation needs to be built, so it will take a longer time.
" Xu's mother asked again: "Then why not How about building a large blue brick house at once? If the house is built solidly, we can live in it longer
. Xu Wanning laughed helplessly.
Did she not want to?
Of course it’s because no one in the village knows it!
Moreover, their commune does not yet have a tile factory, so if you want to buy bricks or tiles, you have to go to another commune.
It would be okay if the weather got warmer, but now it's freezing cold and the snow on the ground is as deep as a thumb. It's not easy to pull the bricks back.
In addition, their time is limited, so if they want to move into a new house before the Chinese New Year, it is most convenient to choose this kind of old-fashioned house.
In a few years, if Mother Lin becomes more nostalgic and wants to return to her roots and live in Dajiang Village, Xu Wanning will arrange for someone to build a better house on the existing foundation.
It was night, Xu Wanning and Xu's mother were lying side by side on the bed.
The bed was only one and a half meters wide, and the mother and daughter were very close to each other, leaning against each other for warmth.
"Aning, tell your mother honestly, did my sudden visit like this bring you a lot of inconvenience?"
"No, really not. I'm just worried about you. Even I can't adapt to the climate in the Black Province. I'm worried about you. " It
's okay, I'll just wear thicker clothes.
"Mom, how long do you plan to stay?"
After Xu Wanning asked, Xu's mother fell silent.
After a long while, she quietly said, "I just came here, and you're going to kick me out?" "
No, no, of course not, how could I kick you out? I'm just asking so that I can prepare in advance
." Xu Wanning raised her hand and slapped herself, "Look at my mouth, why can't I speak? Mom, don't be angry. I really didn't mean to drive you away. I just..."
"Whether you mean it or not, I tell you, I won't leave. I will leave after the New Year.
" What did you say? ?"
Xu Wanning suddenly sat up from the bed and was lifted off the quilt.
The sudden cold air made Xu's mother hurriedly hug her arms tightly, her heart as cold as her body.
Sure enough, her sudden arrival caused a lot of trouble for Aning.
Otherwise, just stay for two days and go back?
Before she could make a decision, she was hugged by Xu Wanning.
"Mom, do you really want to stay here to celebrate the New Year with me?"
"Probably... right?"
"Great!" Xu Wanning rested her head on Xu's mother's shoulder: "Twenty minutes before you came, I My mother-in-law also told me that we will set off back to Beijing on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and she wanted me to spend the New Year with you.
"What did I say then? I think the Chinese New Year is no different from the usual festivals, and it doesn’t have to be a reunion. But when you just told me that you were going to stay with me to celebrate the New Year, my heart was filled with joy, as if my heart was filled all of a sudden.
"Mom, I don't know how to describe this situation I have now. mood, but I am very happy. Really, in addition to being happy, I also feel very touched and happy
because she is a loved child.
Her mother-in-law will think from her perspective and make decisions from her perspective. .
Her mother traveled thousands of miles to a completely unfamiliar place just to spend the New Year with her. And she was a child surrounded by love.
Xu Wanning listened. She had already burst into tears. She had had a frank talk with Xu Wanning a long time ago. She knew that this body belonged to her daughter, but the soul in her body was a different person. But to Xu's mother, she was . She has long believed that Xu Wanning is her biological child. One daughter will accompany her for the first half of her life, and the other daughter will accompany her for the second half of her life. Especially, when she thinks about her current daughter, who was an orphan who was not loved by anyone, her heart breaks. It was like being pinched so hard by an invisible hand that she almost couldn't breathe. Her daughter, her baby, should be loved and loved. "But Mom, you are here to celebrate the New Year with me, my dad." What should I do with my brother and Maoning? " Your dad is dealing with something important recently. He said that in a week at most, he and your brother will be able to handle the matter at hand, and they will come over then." Maoning's words are now waiting for Yuan Xin. "You know, Yuan Xin has broken up with her parents' family, so she doesn't have to think about returning to her parents' family during the New Year. She heard that I was coming to Dajiang Village, and she originally wanted to come with me, but The charity has been too busy recently and she can't leave for a while. She said that if all the important things can be taken care of before the year, she will come back with Maoning. By then, their family will be in Dajiang. As for the eldest aunt and second aunt, Xu's mother didn't say anything, and Xu Wanning didn't ask. After all, the eldest brother was married, and he always had to go to his mother-in-law's house during such an important time as the Chinese New Year. It was definitely impossible to come to Dajiang Village for the New Year . , and the wedding of the third brother and sister Jingjing is coming soon. In addition to working and taking care of her grandson, the eldest aunt has to take care of the wedding all day long, and she can't spare the time. The second aunt is a family, and the second sister-in-law Zhang Wenting is pregnant . , she couldn't eat or sleep, so she didn't even consider traveling so far. The main reason was that she wanted to come, but no one in the family agreed, let alone the fourth brother, as a doctor, especially a pediatrician. , he only has a few days of rest during the Chinese New Year, and it takes six or seven days just to travel from Beijing to Dajiang Village. This trip will take up all the vacation time, so it is not worthwhile. "Waiting for Dad ." When my brother and I came here, our new home was probably built, and we would have a place to live by then. When building the new house, she had to tell the village chief to let the old craftsmen in the village experiment with the new home to see if it could work. The kang cannot be taken out. In this case, even parents who cannot bear the severe cold can stay in Dajiang Village. At worst, I won’t go out. "Mom really won't cause you any trouble?"
"How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy. But Mom, I may be a little busy recently. I have to contact the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Heilongjiang Province about hybrid rice, so I may not be able to accompany you these days.
"It doesn't matter. Mom, take a walk and take a look at the place where you have lived for several years. In the dead of
night, Xu Wanning and Xu's mother cuddled each other and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xu's mother was woken up by the smell.
"What does this smell like? It smells so good.
" This is the specialty dish of our Black Province, pork stewed with vermicelli.
