On the other side, Li Chunhua followed her son and daughter-in-law to the house where they lived. As soon as she opened the door, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Why is it so small?"
For Li Chunhua, who grew up in the village, the house can be broken, but it must not be too small. This time, when she built a new house, she encircled a large area to make a yard.
Even He Xuezhu's mother's house, the broken house, was bigger than this small house.
Lin Shiheng was putting down the things he was carrying, and he smiled and said, "Mom, this is a house given by the army, how could it be as big as ours."
"And it's not convenient for me to live with Xuezhu. It's too big."
Li Chunhua didn't listen to her comfort at all, and wandered around the room with red eyes.
When Shiheng wrote back to her family before, she only said that the army had arranged accommodation, and everything was fine. She also felt sour, thinking that her son and daughter-in-law had left her and reunited happily, but after she came, she found out that it was them. Come and live in this small house, let her mother live in the new house at home.
When she raised her head again, He Xuezhu saw the tears in her eyes, and hurriedly handed over the paper, "Mom, this room is really not small, Shi Heng is an officer, and the room is much bigger than the others."
Li Chunhua looked at her daughter-in-law. She looked gentle and worried, but there was no grievance and discomfort in her eyes.
He Xuezhu really didn't feel wronged living with his son in such a small house.
How can there be such a good and thoughtful daughter-in-law!
She grabbed the hand of the person in front of her and sighed with blushing eyes: "Xuezhu, you are wronged, it's getting late today, and tomorrow, Mom will take you to buy clothes!"
He Xuezhu looked confused.
What's wrong with her
It was just that before she could ask clearly, Li Chunhua had already gone to the chickens she brought with all her hardships with a majestic face.
"Shi Heng, bring the knife!"
He Xuezhu knew at a glance that she was going to kill a chicken, and hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to help.
"Xuezhu, sit down, you child, you can't see blood when you're pregnant, just come here!"
Hey, this child, who still wants to do things while pregnant, is much more sensible than those stupefied daughters-in-law in the village. She is so good, how could she not take good care of her!
Seeing that the old lady had already rubbed her hands and went out, Lin Shiheng took the kitchen knife and smiled at his puzzled wife: "Mom is sorry that you came with me to the army with a big belly."
He Xuezhu suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't help me with anything since I came to the army..."
"Where did you not help?"
"Every time I go out on a mission, when I think of you waiting for me at home, my heart immediately settles down."
He Xuezhu's face turned a little red, and she gently pushed her husband: "Okay, go out quickly, Mom is still waiting."
After the two got along day and night, she discovered that Shi Heng liked such serious love words. As she had lived in an environment where she had to be pointed at every hand she had since she was a child, she had been embarrassed and unable to speak from the beginning. Come on, I have become as shy as I am now, but I can't stop the sweetness in my heart.
Lin Shiheng smiled and reached out and touched her head, and came with a kitchen knife in front of Li Chunhua, who was bending over to examine the hens with their legs tied one by one.
"Mom, which one do you want to kill? I'll do it."
Li Chunhua was not polite to her son, and chose the one that looked more energetic, "That's it, kill my mother and cook it for you, and I'll have to take me to the guest house in a while."
She didn't plan to live in the compound either. Before, when her son first joined the army, Li Chunhua had inquired about the army's regulations. The only people who would accompany the army could be military partners or children. , of course she can't live in this compound.
Moreover, there is only one bed in such a small room. If she stayed there, she would not be able to squeeze in.
After listening to his mother's words, the man in a straight military uniform squatted down and neatly bleed the hen in his hand, "Mom, I can't accompany you tomorrow, I received a notice before I went to pick you up, and I have to stay in the army for a day tomorrow. to take a vacation.”
"It's okay, I'll just go with Xuezhu."
Li Chunhua was a little lost, but quickly adjusted.
She was planning to tell her daughter-in-law not to be with her son during pregnancy. They left in a hurry before, and Li Chunhua herself was immersed in the spirit of "the son can't have children" and "fortunately, I left a single seedling before I can't have children". In a trance, I waited until the person left, only to realize that I forgot to remind me.
If you want to talk about this kind of thing, it's not easy to write in a letter. You can only wait until tomorrow to tell Xuezhu in person.
The chicken was killed quickly, and the mother and son were plucked together. Neither of them thought to ask He Xuezhu from the house to come out to help, and they were cleaned up clearly.
The yard is so big, and they all live in one piece, and the movement here is also noticed by some people.
Miao Xing opened the door of his house, poured out the water, looked at the mother and son who were working hard on the opposite side, his eyes flickered.
Unexpectedly, He Xuezhu was such an unfilial person. In such a cold day, her mother-in-law was outside to kill chickens, and even her husband came to help, but she, a daughter-in-law, hid in the house and could not come out.
However, that's fine too.
The more disobedient He Xuezhu is, the easier it is for her to intervene between the two.
It's just a rural old woman, it's not easy to please her
Try to think about it, when He Xuezhu was struggling with her pregnancy, her mother-in-law was very fond of another woman, and this woman might have had an affair with her husband.
If something could happen to the child in her belly that can be stimulated again...
Miao Xing stood by the door with the basin, the corners of his lips slowly raised.
Li Chunhua looked at the plucked chicken and stood up with satisfaction. Just as she straightened her waist, she found a woman standing in front of a small house opposite.
In such a cold day, wearing so little and standing for so long, it's not bad that I don't shiver from the cold, and I still laugh.
There will be no problem with the brain.
Li Chunhua immediately thought of the lunatic in the village, and hurriedly inserted the chicken with chopsticks.
She had to tell Xuezhu to stay away from this kind of person, and then she would startle the child in her stomach.
***
Early in the morning the next day, Lin Shiheng put the wallet in his mother's hand and began to exhort.
"Mom, take the money. Xuezhu knows Lu and knows how to get there. She also knows the phone number of the army. There is a phone booth by the road. If you have anything, just call me."
"Don't be next to people who wear makeup on the road. I heard that if pregnant women inhale these cosmetics, it is not good for the child's health. I don't know if it is true or false. Anyway, it is better to be careful."
"Also, don't worry about buying Xuezhu and me, but also for yourself. You haven't bought new clothes for yourself for so long. I have money, so I'm not afraid of your spending. Mom, don't buy it for me. Save it."
His tone was a little complaining, but Li Chunhua was not angry at all.
My son is so sorry for her!
Look, don't let her buy it for Xuezhu, let her buy it for herself.
Obviously she was so happy that she was about to smoke, but Li Chunhua stiffened her face: "What are you talking about! I don't know that I feel sorry for your daughter-in-law!"
"Xuezhu is already uncomfortable when she is pregnant. Why don't you buy some new clothes! I like to buy new clothes for Xuezhu!"
He Xuezhu just packed up and came out of the room when she heard this sentence, her eyes were filled with emotion.
How could her mother-in-law be so good.
As soon as Li Chunhua came into contact with his daughter-in-law's adoring gaze, her waist straightened even more.
Lin Shiheng smiled helplessly, "Xuezhu has new clothes. She had a big belly a while ago, and she couldn't wear the old clothes. I just bought them for her."
"What happened when I just bought it? Xuezhu is so young, so she should wear more beautiful clothes." Li Chunhua didn't take this sentence seriously at all. Not only is the room small, but even the wardrobe is so small. Such a small wardrobe can fit in several clothes.
"Listen to the mother, listen to the mother."
Lin Shiheng said, turned to look at his wife: "You heard me, Mom also advocates buying you new clothes. Next time I take you to the mall, don't want this or that."
"Mom, then I'm leaving, remember to buy a few for yourself."
Li Chunhua felt consolation in her heart, but waved her hand with disgust on her face: "I know, I know, hurry up and do it."
Really, how could this son be so filial!
She turned around happily, holding her daughter-in-law's arm in a good mood: "Xuezhu, go."
"Mom today, I'll buy you some good clothes..."
Just as he was talking, the room opposite suddenly opened. Miao Xing, who was beautifully dressed and had light makeup on his face, came out and waved at this side: "Xuezhu!"
He Xuezhu turned around in confusion, saw Miao Xing walking over with a smile, and then looked at Li Chunhua with a smile: "This is Director Lin's mother, hello Auntie, my name is Miao Xing, I live in the opposite room."
She dresses beautifully, smiles kindly, and has a generous attitude, which is reasonable enough to make a rural woman have a certain favorable impression.
Li Chunhua, however, had not forgotten what he saw last night and who he suspected was not in the right mind.
Vigilant in my heart, I can't wait to pull my daughter-in-law away, and there is a smile on my face: "Hello, hello."
"Let's not talk about it, I will take Xuezhu to the mall to buy clothes."
The surprise on Miao Xing's face suddenly deepened: "It happens that I am going too, let's go together?"
Li Chunhua's eyebrows trembled imperceptibly. She turned to look at her daughter-in-law, but saw that she also had a face full of confusion, which made it clear that she was not familiar with this man named Miao Xing.
She went out with her daughter-in-law to go shopping and talk privately, and strangers came to join in the fun!
Miao Xing only pretended that she didn't see the reluctance in the eyes of the old lady in front of her, but she knew it clearly, women from such a rural area were inherently inferior.
Even if she is unhappy, she will definitely not be embarrassed to reject her.
Sure enough, Li Chunhua hesitated for a few seconds before opening her mouth: "That's fine, then we..."
As she spoke, she suddenly paused, "What's the red thing on your mouth?"
"Oh, it's lipstick."
Miao Xing smiled very considerately: "This is cosmetics, if you like it, auntie, I will buy a set for you at the mall later."
If he should have gotten closer, Li Chunhua took a big step back with his daughter-in-law.
But her son said that cosmetics are harmful to the child in the belly of pregnant women!
"No, no, I suddenly remembered something personal, so we won't leave together."
"That, Miao Yue, you go shopping by yourself, it's such a coincidence, Xuezhu, come and come, hurry up and go with Mom!"
Li Chunhua pulled her daughter-in-law to retreat quickly, looking like she couldn't avoid it.
Miao Xing stood there with a stiff smile on his face.
Her name is Miao Xing!
