When the old family was taking their gifts back home, Chen's mother remembered something before entering the bedroom and looked at her daughter-in-law.
"Can you take out the second brother's?"
"Mom...this was given to me by my eldest sister-in-law. Besides, why didn't you ask my third brother's wife for it?" Xia Lai Di's eyes were wet with grievance.
Mother Chen rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about Daya and the others' gifts. My granddaughter can still use them if I leave them with you. Hurry up and take them out."
Chen's mother reached out directly. Although the second son's family handled the matter beautifully, their foundation was not good.
Xia Lai Di took it out reluctantly and put it in her mother-in-law's hands. She had originally planned to take it back to her parents' home and give it to her mother during the New Year. Then she ran back to her bedroom with the soap.
Mother Chen didn't care. The second son did care about his mother's family a little, but he cared more about himself.
Then he happily took his things and went back to the house to talk to his wife.
After entering the house, I saw Chen's father stroking his coat with tears in his eyes. He was thinking about his eldest son.
Mother Chen touched it and said, "This coat is really thick. I won't be afraid of the cold this winter. Hum... Boss, do you really miss me?"
Father Chen looked at Mother Chen's jealous face and asked, "How about exchanging your vest and apron?"
"Hmph...what are you thinking? You can't wear it. It's made to my size."
He touched his vest happily and said, "I will go around the village tomorrow, thinking about their envious eyes."
Mother Chen wanted to be happy secretly.
Father Chen looked at his wife's boastful look and knew that she was going to show off!
Show it. Show it. It saves the women in the village from gossiping and making up stories about the old people every day.
"Don't worry about how the old family lives, what they eat, and what they use. We are already home, so you can live the way you want.
Think about the eldest brother, who doesn't come home for several years, and it's his wife who manages the household and has to take care of us two old people on his behalf.'
Thinking of his eldest son, Father Chen fell silent.
Mother Chen curled her lips when she heard this, and said with an unconvinced look on her face, "I know, I won't nag you anymore."
Then, thinking that the New Year was approaching and her eldest son would not be able to come back, she cried silently.
Chen Jianguo, who was far away at the western base in Qing Province, was still busy. He didn't know that his daughter-in-law sent a gift in his name, nor did he know that his parents were thinking about him.
That day, Chen Jianguo was eating after finishing his work. The food in their cafeteria was okay, and it was no problem to fill you up, but to say that you could eat well was a fantasy.
There is no way around it, this is the general environment of this era.
A clerk came running over, "Mr. Chen, the security department has sent your food. Don't forget to get it back after you finish eating."
Chen Jianguo looked at the little thing that ran back and thought it should have been sent by home.
After finishing the meal, I went to the security office. After getting my package and signing, I went back to the dormitory.
After arriving, he took out a pair of scissors and slowly opened it. He was surprised to see the big thing. What was going on? My wife must have been so upset that she sent all this to me.
Touching the military coat, which was thicker than the ones issued above, he looked heavy and said, "Oh,... this daughter-in-law is really brave."
Look at those again, thermal underwear, underwear, shirt, pants and socks, this is everything I have equipped myself from the inside out.
The most precious thing is dried meat. It is hard to find even here. I want to sigh again.
"Lao Chen... Lao Chen, I heard that you came back with a big package. Come on... show me what good stuff it is. I haven't received a package in all these years."
Chen Jianguo heard the shouting outside and hurriedly put some things in the cupboard. On the table was left a military coat, a small portion of dried meat wrapped in oil paper, and an envelope.
My brother is a talkative person, so I can't let him know everything. Otherwise, the whole base will know, and it will cause trouble for my wife.
Wang Tiezhu opened the door and came in. Seeing that Lao Chen was about to read the letter, he went over, pulled a stool and sat down.
Suddenly, I smelled a strong aroma of meat. I looked around and saw a piece of paper wrapped in oil. I took it and looked at it. My eyes widened.
"Wow... Lao Chen... meat, it's meat!" 껩 took a piece and started eating without any hesitation.
My mouth was instantly filled with the fragrance. I ate a few pieces in a row before stopping, feeling embarrassed to eat more.
Chen Jianguo watched him eat without saying anything. He opened the letter to see what his wife said.
Seeing that his parents were in good health, his wife was taking good care of him, and his daughter was getting fatter and taller, he smiled happily.
I saw my wife again and she vaguely mentioned the origin of these things - oh...as expected.
Wang Tiezhu saw the fund brothers grinning, "Oh...it's because my wife misses you, and her face is full of love."
"Go away... If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. Even food can't stop your mouth."
Wang Tiezhu obeyed and picked up another piece of dried meat and chewed it slowly. He looked back and saw the military coat on the bed, and hurried over to touch it with the back of his hand.
"Old Chen, this is from home. I give you all these good things."
To be honest, Wang Tiezhu was a little jealous this time, because his wife wrote to him asking for money.
Wang Tiezhu washed his hands, put on his military coat, looked left and right, and soon his back began to sweat.
After showing off for a long time and not hearing what Lao Chen said, he walked over and saw Lao Chen's serious expression, his heart sank.
"What's wrong, brother? Something happened at home. Why are you so serious? Where is your brother?"
"oh.....
It’s nothing. My daughter wrote to me saying she was bullied. ”
Wang Tiezhu took the letter and read it, and then he felt relieved. "It's common for children to fight. Don't worry. Besides, your parents and brothers are all at home."
Chen Jianguo was right when he heard it. If it was really serious, his family would have let him go home long ago.
Then, he remembered something and picked up the drawing paper next to him to look at it.
Looking at the family above, a smile appeared on his face again.
Wang Tiezhu looked at his brother and laughed. He leaned over to take a look. "Eh? It was just drawn by Niuniu. It's pretty nice. 'Family' should be a picture of your family of three!"
"Eh? Why are there two of you? The one wearing the long skirt should be your wife and Niuniu."
Wang Tiezhu searched for his brother for a long time but couldn't find him. He saw a big circle next to the little one on the paper.
"Old Chen, your daughter has never seen you, so she drew a circle to represent you. Don't mention it, she is quite talented."
Chen Jianguo looked at the words "family of three" and the word "father" in a big circle on the drawing paper thoughtfully, and guessed that it couldn't be that simple.
Wang Tiezhu was curious and looked at it for a long time. He found that the circle was becoming more and more familiar. Suddenly, he realized something, as if he remembered something.
"Old Chen, don't you find that this circle looks a bit like a grave?"
"What's going on? This is a painting to kill you. Is this true or not?"
Wang Tiezhu said he didn't believe it, but when he saw his brother's face was dark, he laughed regardless.
I laughed so hard that my stomach gasped. I wiped the tears from my eyes while laughing, "Old Chen, your daughter is so talented. I don't have a photo of her. I'm so curious. My sister-in-law is really amazing. I'll send you this one."
Chen Jianguo was a little curious about his daughter's train of thought. As for his wife, there was no doubt that she was gloating because it was she who wrote the words "family of three".
When I heard about the photo, I hurriedly looked at the envelope, and it was true. Then I picked up the photo and looked at it, and I was stunned.
Wang Tiezhu saw his brother in a daze, so he grabbed a photo and took a look: a little girl, about four or five years old, wearing a red top, black pants, small leather shoes, two buns with cute hair clips, a round face, and big bright eyes looking at the camera.
"Old Chen, our daughter is so cute, her eyes look like yours! By the way, where is your sister-in-law? Can you show her to me?
Seeing that there was still one in Lao Chen's hand, he was about to grab it, but he saw Lao Chen put it directly into his arms.
He curled his lips and said, "Old Chen, you are really stingy."
Chen Jianguo ignored him. Why should his wife let this rough guy see her? He snatched his daughter's body and put it in his arms.
"Let's go, let's go to the big boss."
Chen Jianguo took the dried meat and dragged his brother away.
Chen Jianguo thought of his wife in the photo, wearing a camel coat, a slim long skirt, leather shoes, a bun, bangs on both sides of her cheeks, an oval face, big eyes, and dimples when she smiled. She looked exactly like the fatter daughter, who was chubby, cute and pretty.
Chen Jianguo walked while touching his chest, and the heartbeats from there revealed his inner feelings.
