Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 80 Mother and Child

  Xu Shiyan remembered that in his previous life, after the fourth child married a wife, he was always close to the Wu family.

  Xu Shide was transferred to Daying, and the Wu family also moved there.

   Later Xu Shide went to work in Xigang, and the second daughter of the Wu family also married to Xigang.

  Xu Shide is very concerned about the affairs of his mother-in-law's family, and also takes special care of his sister-in-law and brother-in-law. The whole Wu family is full of praise for Xu Shide.

  The only thing is that they are not close to the Xu family, and come back to see the old lady twice a year.

  The old lady’s birthday on the sixth day of June, and the second day of the new year, and the rest of the time, she couldn’t see anyone at all.

   "Mom, things are already like this, let's think about the good.

  The Wu family is just a little cautious and takes advantage of it, but other aspects may not be so bad.

  Anyway, the fourth child is married and doesn’t live at home, so out of sight, out of mind. "

  I have children, and I am about to get engaged and married. It is too late to say anything now. Simply don't say anything, lest mother feel uncomfortable.

  Zhou Guilan sighed, yes, it has reached this point, and regretting is useless.

  The son likes Wu Qiuyan wholeheartedly, what can she do as a mother?

  The two of them hadn't been separated before, but now that the daughter of the Wu family has a baby in her belly, if she interferes with Huang's marriage again, it will harm the two of them.

   What a crime, Zhou Guilan can't do such a thing.

   "Don't mention it, what have you been doing when you go out for a day?" Zhou Guilan didn't want to bring up the troubles of the Wu family, so she changed the topic.

   "Oh, I went to Songjiang River, and then went to Fusong. I pulled a lot of skins on the mountain before, and sold them to prepare for the New Year."

  Xu Shiyan didn't say anything about going to Donggang to find Zhou Zhang and his father and son.

   "By the way, I still have some tickets listed. Wait a minute."

   He was so busy all day that he didn't even have time to see what ticket Guo Shouye had given him.

  Xu Shiyan hurriedly took out the stack of tickets from his pocket and carefully sorted them out.

   "Oh, there are quite a few. Cloth tickets, sugar tickets, and national food tickets. This one is an industrial ticket, for a sewing machine."

  Xu Shiyan didn't expect that the ticket Guo Shouye gave him included a sewing ticket. This thing is in short supply, and most people can't get it.

   "Mom, take these tickets and see what you can use at home, so you can take them back."

  Xu Shiyan put all those tickets in front of his mother, and let her choose.

   Zhou Guilan shook her head, sorted out the tickets one by one, and handed them to Xu Shiyan.

   "I don't need anything at home, so you don't need to buy it. You can keep it. Yingzi is going to have a baby in the next spring. You can use all of these."

  Zhou Guilan is not the kind of old lady who puts everything in her hands. In her opinion, it is better for her son and daughter-in-law to live well than anything else.

  The Xu family has a large population, and it won't do much for her to take it back. On the contrary, it will arouse the eyes of the daughters-in-law and cause conflicts.

  Mom didn't want it, and Xu Shiyan didn't force it. He just nodded and handed the stack of tickets to Su Anying.

   "My mother doesn't want it, so you can put it away first, and let's go shopping when you have time."

  Sugar tickets can be used to buy brown sugar, confinement for Su Anying, not to mention cloth tickets, anyone can use it.

  When a baby is born, you have to make a quilt and two clothes, right?

   After sitting down and talking for a while, the chill on Xu Shiyan's body also dissipated, and then Su Anying brought the rice for Xu Shiyan to eat.

  Seeing that her son was safe, Zhou Guilan was relieved, "Okay, you eat first, I'll go back.

  After you left yesterday, the fourth child regretted it, he was embarrassed to come.

  You are an older brother, if your younger brother makes a mistake, you should beat him up, but don’t take it to heart. "Zhou Guilan got up, put on her coat and scarf and went out.

  Being a mother is not easy, especially when there are many children in the family. A bowl of water must be leveled, and every child has to be taken care of.

  The old lady has given birth to six children in her life, and she loves all of them, and she doesn't want to see her sons gradually estranged.

  As the elderly, they all look forward to the filial piety of their children and the harmony and unity of the whole family, so Zhou Guilan can only come here to smooth things over for the fourth child.

   "Mom, look at what you said, can I, a brother, care about my brother?"

  My mother made peace in person, even if Xu Shiyan felt uncomfortable, he couldn't care less about it.

   "The fourth child is married, no matter what work is done at home, let the sixth child always call me.

  However, I will not show up when the fourth child is engaged, so as not to embarrass the Wu family. "

  Xu Shiyan followed Zhou Guilan to the gate, and helped his mother tidy up the scarf.

   "Mom, the road back home is slippery, why don't I see you off?" It was late, and it was dark outside, so Xu Shiyan was a little worried.

   "No, you can go back to eat quickly, your mother hasn't reached the age of 70 or 80 and can't walk."

  Zhou Guilan was not yet fifty years old, and her body was strong. She waved to her son and walked away quickly.

  Xu Shiyan looked at his mother's back and smiled, yes, my mother was over 70 in her previous life, and she can still walk like flying.

  The bodies of the older generation are really great, not comparable to those of the young people in the future.

   Seeing his mother walking away, Xu Shiyan turned around and went back to the house for dinner.

  There is nothing good in the Zhuanghu courtyard. A pot of sauerkraut, a plate of sticky fire spoon, and some porridge would be good.

   "Where did you get the sticky fire spoon?" Xu Shiyan likes to eat sticky food, and he was really hungry, so he ate three sticky fire spoons in one go, so he had time to ask.

   "My mother brought it, where else could it come from?

  Our mother said that you love to eat, and she also knew that we definitely didn’t have bags on the mountain, so I specially sent a pot in the afternoon.

   Said that they would go get it when they ran out of food, and they packed two big buckets at home. "

  Su Anying watched her husband gobble up food, fearing that he would choke, so she hurriedly poured a glass of water.

   "Does our family pack so many sticky fire spoons every year? Two big barrels?"

  The barrels mentioned in the farmer's yard are the kind of large wooden barrels, which can hold nearly two hundred catties of beans.

  Su Anying can't imagine, how long will it take to eat two big barrels of sticky fire spoons?

   "When I was at home, I used to wrap sticky fire spoons. At most, I soaked dozens of catties of rice. In that case, our sisters would also have to pack it for a day."

   Two large barrels of sticky fire ladles would take several days to pack, which is scary to think about.

   "Can it be the same? Your family is all daughters and eats a small amount. Our family is all young men, so we may eat one by one.

  Every winter, our family packs sticky fire spoons and bakes pancakes. You haven’t seen that scene. People say that they are about to catch up with the canteen of the production team. "

  Xu Shiyan thought of the situation of wrapping sticky fire spoons and baking pancakes at home in the past, and felt a little nostalgic.

  "Before the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law got married, our mother and the sixth son were the only ones who stick to the fire spoon, and a bag lasted for several days.

  At the end, the tired little bear, the sixth child, squeezed the little bean stuffing into a big ball with his hands, and then wrapped it up. "

  The sticky noodles wrapped with fire spoons are all ground together, but the small bean filling must be cooked every morning, and all wrapped in the same day, otherwise it will be sour.

  Xu Shiqin stuffed it hard, so he could finish it earlier.

   "My mother found out, and my mother said, if there is not enough small bean paste, put it in the old six bag."

  Recalling that time, Xu Shiyan wanted to laugh. His little sister also has moments when she is particularly skinny.
