"Xiu Luo, why haven't I seen your little daughter-in-law recently?"
This morning, Pan Xiuluo prepared lunch for the four dolls in the family and packed them into lunch boxes as usual, and then sent the four children on the bus to the town.
The eldest daughter-in-law does the laundry and cooking at home. After sending the child back to the car, Pan Xiuluo took the wool ball and needle to chat with her old sister.
While knitting wool, an old lady remembered that she had not seen the submissive little daughter-in-law of the Jiang family recently, and asked Pan Xiuluo curiously.
"Oh, one of her aunts from far away asked her to take care of the pregnant woman."
Pan Xiuluo paused for a moment, and then, without blinking an eye, told everyone the story that the family had discussed before.
"The family is a dual-employee, and the parents-in-law in the family can't take care of others. I heard that Xiaohua works carefully and has given birth to several children, so I want Xiaohua to help and pay her wages every month. You know, my second child's family The conditions are average, not only helping relatives, but also earning money, naturally will not shirk.”
No one doubted Pan Xiuluo's words. After all, the women in the village knew when Lu Xiaohua was taken to Sheung Wan. Who would have guessed that the family was so daring, they were already on the ring, and they dared to secretly go to the black clinic to get the ring. It is.
"You said that today's girls are also Jin Gui. We were still pregnant with the baby back then. Who didn't come here with a big belly? At that time, there was no such thing as confinement. In the big winter, I can't bear to heat the water with firewood, and now I have a confinement disease."
Hearing that there are still people in the city asking their daughter-in-law to take care of her because of pregnancy, these old ladies in the village sighed.
"Yeah, what a hard time it was at that time, it was just bibimbap, especially when my older one was just born, and then I was pregnant with a younger one, but my man was a hands-off shopkeeper, raising children, really I can't wait to die."
When it comes to the pain of having children, these old people have something to say.
Especially in their time, the mother-in-law was still the supreme authority. Who dared to challenge the mother-in-law? Unlike now, I don't know where the ethos came from. The more arrogant daughter-in-law can crawl on the mother-in-law's head and shit.
This makes these old people who have finally become mother-in-law, but can't show their mother-in-law's majesty, are very dissatisfied.
"According to what I said, the daughter-in-law here is going to have to grind when she enters the door, isn't she pregnant with a child? If you really treat her as an ancestor, she will still be afraid of you to respect you in the future? And people didn't craw out from your stomach. You treat her to her. No matter how good, she still remembers her own mother."
As a group of people talked, they turned the topic to the question of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Pan Xiuluo didn't interrupt. She neatly knitted sweater pants for her little grandson, and then wrote down the women who said they wanted to grind their daughter-in-law. The daughters of their Jiang family couldn't marry into the homes of people who love to grind people. .
The eldest granddaughter is fifteen years old. The Jiang family is in good condition. Recently, many people have come to inquire about Pan Xiuluo's words. As a matter of fact, people with school-age children nearby are the objects of her investigation.
In Pan Xiuluo's view, the family that several granddaughters marry is very important.
The elders can't be mean. Such elders have too much control over their daughter-in-law. They are afraid that the daughter-in-law will move her own things to help her family. If her granddaughter is married to such a family, how can she help her precious grandson.
The man himself can't live up to his expectations, no matter how capable his parents are, if he doesn't live up to his expectations, his parents' family will decline after a hundred years. Marrying such a man will only drag his grandchildren down and let the grandson in turn help a few brothers-in-law.
That's why Pan Xiuluo wanted a few granddaughters to marry perfectly, so she didn't want to marry a few granddaughters hastily for a little dowry.
Although her idea is a little more profitable, it is still beneficial to Jiang Yanan and the sisters. Women are most afraid of marrying the wrong person, especially now that there is less free love, and blind date is still the mainstream of society. The attitude of the elders often determines whether a marriage is successful or not. .
So no matter what Pan Xiuluo's purpose is, it is a good thing that she carefully chooses the right family for her several granddaughters.
"By the way, Xiuluo, when your little daughter-in-law goes out of town alone, can your second child really rest assured?"
While chatting, the topic suddenly came to Pan Xiuluo again.
The one who spoke was an old lady who had an ordinary relationship with Pan Xiuluo, but the other party had a good relationship with the owner of the room, so she often came over to chat.
Pan Xiuluo frowned with a strong sense of direction in her words.
"Why am I worried?"
Pan Xiuluo sneered, and threw the wool needle in her hand into the basket: "Our little flower is responsible, and besides, we went to a relative's house, and we are worried that they will harm our little flower?"
She knew what the man wanted to say, but she just wanted to say that Lu Xiaohua went outside and might put a cuckold on her son, not to mention that Lu Xiaohua couldn't do that kind of thing when she was pregnant with a child, even if she didn't have a child, Pan Xiuluo didn't think that The other is that kind of person.
"Didn't I kindly remind you?"
Seeing that Pan Xiuluo was angry, the man curled his lips, feeling that Pan Xiuluo was just trying to be brave at the moment. If that Lu Xiaohua really brought a green hat back to the second child of Jiang, she would like to see what Pan Xiuluo would be like. what expression.
"Then I have to kindly remind your daughter-in-law to be careful that your son brings her a sister back when he is working outside."
Pan Xiuluo directly pushed back. The year before last, a young man from the village went to work at a relative's house in the south to earn some money. When he went out last year, he brought a few young people who were interested in the village, one of whom was the son of the old lady in front of him. .
When the other party was going, his daughter-in-law stopped him, for fear that his man would not want the mother-in-law and children of his hometown when he watched Huahua World.
Those things were still vivid in my mind at the time, but now that the other party took it to her, Pan Xiuluo naturally rudely slapped her back.
"Hey, don't weave anymore!"
Pan Xiuluo didn't quarrel either. Seeing that the fires on both sides were starting to grow, she immediately put away her belongings, talked to a few good sisters, and walked slowly towards the house.
"What kind of attitude does she have, she doesn't know the liver and lungs of a donkey."
She walked freely, leaving behind the old lady who was angry and had nowhere to go. She wanted to chase after her and quarrel with Pan Xiuluo, but was stopped by the people around her, cursing and frowning.

"Mom, who made you angry?"
Yao Huilan was killing the fish, and when she saw the old lady came back and threw the basket containing the balls of wool and half-knitted woolen pants on the back chair, she didn't exert any strength when she closed the door, she knew that the old lady was angry outside, and the fire wasn't there yet. spread out.
"Who can be angry with me, it's not the second child and the couple who can't survive or not, there are still more days for me to be angry."
The old lady hummed, this is just the beginning, there are so many wives with broken mouths in the village, and I don't know what the reputation of the second child and his wife will be arranged during this time.
And she was also worried. If the time comes, the second daughter-in-law will give birth to another baby girl, what should the second family do
"Mom, don't worry, I think the younger brother and sister must be the son who is bad this time. When the time comes, the second child will be able to cheer up, and the life at home will be better and better."
As a woman and the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Yao Huilan can best understand the pressure of Lu Xiaohua at the moment. When she didn't give birth to a son, although Jiang Jianjun didn't talk about him, Yao Huilan saw the disappointment in his eyes.
At the same time, she is also the most intuitive person who feels the change in her husband's emotions after the birth of her son. If it weren't for the son, I am afraid that her husband would not take the risk of becoming a grandfather, and the life at home would not be so rich now.
Now Yao Huilan has both sons and daughters. Seeing her change, Lu Xiaohua, who is a younger brother and sister, will definitely be more urgent. She will come up with such a stupid trick, which is reasonable in Yao Huilan's view.
Moreover, Yao Huilan also hopes that this younger brother and sister can have a son. Otherwise, according to her mother-in-law's idea, her son will have two houses in the future. Jiang Xiangdang and Lu Xiaohua are not smart people. Yao Huilan is worried that they will become a drag on her son in the future. .
"Hmph, hope."
Pan Xiuluo sighed, but she didn't have much hope in her heart.
*****
Huitong Primary School is the only primary school in Huitong Town. In addition to the students in the town, children from other villages will uniformly hand over their lunch boxes to the living committee in the last class, and take them to the canteen for heating. After the last get out of class It will also be taken from the cafeteria by the living committee and some boys and returned to the students.
This way, every child can have a hot meal.
The conditions of the Jiang family are good. Even girls, their daily lunch is far more than that of other classmates.
For example, Jiang Lainan's lunch today is the leftover chicken nuggets and potatoes stewed at home on weekends, as well as a boiled egg, and stir-fried cabbage.
Jiang's family likes to eat rice. Jiang Lainan's lunch box contains dry rice that was just steamed in the morning, without a little dried potato and rice.
Such dishes stand out among those students who still eat cereals or dried potato rice with pickles or stir-fried vegetables without any oil or water.
Jiang Lainan's family at the same table had average family conditions, but he was big and fierce. After figuring out Jiang Lainan's temperament, he simply occupied her lunch, and then threw his lunch to Jiang Lainan.
She was timid, never complained to her family or teachers, and silently endured all this.
Today is the same as in the past, just after the living committee brought the heated lunch, Jiang Lainan's tablemate took Jiang Lainan's lunch box very smoothly, opened the lid of the box and prepared to eat.
"What are you doing, put down the chopsticks for me."
At this moment, Jiang Liu walked over with his little brother swaggeringly.
He placed his lunch box on the boy's table with a "bang", then pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
In school, Yuan Shen never took the initiative to find his two sisters, Jiang Lainan's deskmate, that black and strong boy naturally didn't know who Jiang Liu was.
"Ah!"
Jiang Liu sneered, took out a packet of sour plum powder and handed it to the younger brother beside him, then raised his head high, and made a gesture of snoring.
"Hmph, this is our boss."
The younger brother is very good, he raised his chest and said, and then stuffed the sour plum powder into his pocket.
Some of the other younger brothers behind him were envious and annoyed that they were not walking fast enough to grab the nearest position beside Jiang Liu, otherwise, he would be the one who would call him.
Jiang Lainan's tablemate was a little puzzled, even if this little brat in front of him was the boss, what does it have to do with him.
"Do you know who this is?"
Jiang Liu pointed at Jiang Lainan, who blushed and did not speak.
"I know, this is my tablemate, Jiang Lainan."
The black and strong boy can answer it now.
"Wrong, this is my sister Jiang Liu, the person I'm protecting. Did you get my consent to grab her lunch?"
Jiang Liu patted the table heavily, and the group of little kids behind him also showed an expression of wanting to fight, which made the black and strong guy stunned for a while.
However, Jiang Lainan was most touched. Although she felt that this was a novel game found by her brother, when she heard her brother say that he was his sister and the person he was protecting, Jiang Lainan felt that great.
