MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 4

The three brothers put the turtle in the bucket and went home dejected. Mrs. Li was smoking a tobacco bag in the kitchen. Seeing her grandson sneaking in, she couldn't help grinning, revealing A mouthful of teeth: "This is because I didn't catch any fish."

Li Mingnan and Li Mingbei nodded aggrievedly and put the bucket into the kitchen: "I only caught a turtle, I don't know if it is alive or dead." Mrs. Li stood up and put the bucket into the bucket. Li glanced at it, and immediately became happy: "Okay, it's fine, I'll make dumplings for you tomorrow, let's have a good New Year."

The frustration of Li Mingnan and Li Mingbei was instantly swept away, they threw their big padded jackets on the cabinet at the door of the cabinet, and rushed to the east room to tell Wang Sufen the good news. How old is Li Mingxi? The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. After returning to the house, he approached Li Mingdong, who was studying, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you talking so well today?"

Li Mingdong looked down from the book and glanced at Li Mingxi: "I haven't cut so much meat for more than three months, and it's a new year tomorrow, you guys are carrying buckets today. When the water comes back, the milk will still be eaten by making dumplings."

Li Mingxi regretted listening to it: "I was fooled by milk again, you don't know that I am almost frozen on the ice in the afternoon."

Mr. Li came in with a cane and heard this, she couldn't help but beat Li Mingxi's **** with a cane: "Whoever fools you, arrange me if you can't see it."

Li Mingxi covered her **** and jumped two meters away, then ran out with a smirk: "Then what, let me see my sister."

Lady Li couldn't help laughing twice, seeing Mingxi out, she sat next to Li Mingdong: "Mingdong, last month your fourth uncle sent a letter saying what day Coming home, is it the day of your childhood?"

Li Mingdong pulled open the drawer, took out a letter from it, opened it and glanced at it, and then said, "It's after the small year that we go out, and we won't arrive until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

"I didn't bring my daughter-in-law back when I got married, and I didn't bring my daughter back to see if I had a child. After so many years, it was so easy to come back and delay so late." Mrs. Li was a little indignant: "I see. , he doesn't see my old lady in his eyes."

Li Mingdong saw a sad look on Mrs. Li's face and quickly persuaded: "Isn't this far away? Besides, the fourth uncle is also busy over there, and it is not easy to buy train tickets."

Let's burn the kang in the back room again, they have never experienced such cold in the ice market."

"Don't worry, I will burn it early tomorrow morning." Li Mingdong agreed.

Knowing that her eldest grandson is reliable, Mrs. Li was relieved, leaning on crutches and exhorting two more words before going out.

On the morning of Xiaonian, the earliest old lady Li hadn't got up yet, and Li Mingbei, who had not slept well for the dumplings all night, jumped up from the kang first: " Milk, you look at the sky!"

The old lady was in a daze, and she was so frightened by his voice that she almost had a heart attack. She covered her chest with one hand and touched the crutches from the ground with two sticks and beat Li Mingbei down: "Why are you screaming in the morning? Get out and start the fire!"

Li Mingbei took advantage of the light outside, put on a pair of padded jackets and trousers, ran to the kitchen and came back with firewood, first added enough firewood under each kang, and went to The kitchen is on fire.

Beaicha has five months of winter in a year, so when the weather is cold, the firewood in the stove is kept 24 hours a day. When cooking, the large pot is connected to the kang. Li Mingbei worked rough, and after a while, the whole family was in trouble.

Zhen Zhen was also woken up by the sound of Li Mingbei coming in, one of them urinated out of nowhere, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to slam the kang twice: Urinary incontinence is such a shame! She was crying pitifully, Zhen Zhen couldn't stand the dampness under her buttocks, so she hummed twice, when Wang Sufen heard her daughter woke up, she immediately got up and changed Zhen Zhen a clean diaper.

Zhen Zhen was very helpless about her current situation, Xiaozui couldn't help sighing, and muttered in her heart: Life is always so difficult.

Wang Sufen couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter's sigh, and poked Zhen Zhen's face with her hand: "Little confinement child knows how to sigh, the whole family is your happiest, open your eyes Eat and sleep with your eyes closed." He lifted up his clothes and nursed Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen has become accustomed to breastfeeding, she gudonggudong ate until she is full, hiccupped and couldn't open her eyes, before falling asleep, Zhen Zhen still pondered : Mom is right, the days when I want to eat and sleep and sleep are really happy, I think I can sleep a little longer...

Almost a moment, Zhen Zhen fell asleep, Wang Sufen put her in the trolley with the beam hanging down, and after getting dressed, she went out to help prepare things for the New Year.

Once Mrs. Li saw Wang Sufen come out and washed her hands, she was about to make a face, and she hit her outstretched hand back with her eyes crossed: "You won't turn around when you leave home, right? I'll show it later. Lan is here, with her and Osmanthus busy, you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Sufen hurriedly said: "It's not tiring to sit on the kang and help make dry food. Just lying on the kang makes me feel more tired than working."

"Blessings will not be enjoyed." Mrs. Li shook her head in disgust: "If you have a hard time, just walk around the house with Zhen Zhen in your arms, you can't be tired now, if you come back The milk made my granddaughter tired and thin, so what can I do?"

Others will definitely not be happy."

Mr. Li laughed when she heard it, took a puff of her cigarette and said, "I can't do anything if I don't like it. I just like my granddaughter. Who will let you not give birth to a girl."

Osmanthus heard the movement outside, stood up and wiped her hands from her apron, and came out of the kitchen to say hello: "Aunt San is here, have you eaten yet? I'll give you a pillow to cushion your stomach?"

, the meat is for my mother." Osmanthus took it over and gave Mrs. Li a look before putting away the things.

Liu Xiulan looked at Osmanthus' quick hands and feet and couldn't help but said enviously, "Our family Osmanthus is really diligent, and she works very well, mother, your vision is really good, let's find Dongzi Such a good daughter-in-law."

Mr. Li squinted her eyes when she heard the words: "I was thinking that when Ming Dong was admitted to the university, I would organize their wedding."

"That's a good feeling." Liu Xiulan glanced at Osmanthus, who was blushing, and couldn't help laughing and teasing her: "Osmanthus will give Mingdong a fat girl after marriage, keep you safe Milk treats you like a Buddha."

Osmanthus bit her lip and showed a shy smile, she threw her long braids around her neck, turned around and went back to the kitchen. While adding firewood to the stove, she pricked up her ears and listened to the voices of the two people outside.

Liu Xiulan poked her head and glanced at the kitchen, lowered her voice and asked, "Mother, did you and Dongzi talk about getting married?"

"Not yet." Mrs. Li smoked her cigarette bag: "I'm thinking of doing it next winter when I'm free."

Liu Xiulan's voice became even lower: "Mother, it's better to tell Dongzi in advance, he's happy that we're in the business, Dongzi has read so many books, don't have any thoughts. "

"I know, you don't need to worry about this, next year you remember to help me find a good carpenter to build a big wardrobe and two wooden boxes for Dongzi." Mrs. Li wrinkled slightly He frowned and took two more puffs of cigarettes: "I hope next year will be better. Dongzi is the eldest grandson of our family, so getting married can't be too shabby."

"Mother said yes." Liu Xiulan nodded in agreement: "Fortunately, with the red pine trees in the mountains and plains, it is not troublesome to make furniture. I heard from my family Mingrong that if we make these in Beijing Furniture, you have to have tickets for big wardrobes and big wooden boxes to buy them, which are very tight."

, knocked the cigarette bag pot on it.

Osmanthus spent a long time in the kitchen and didn't quite understand what the third aunt said, but she heard all the furniture that grandma said to get her married. The thought of marrying Brother Dongzi in another year made her joy and sweetness unstoppable.

Liu Xiulan accompanied Mrs. Li to have a conversation, then went to the kitchen to wash hands and make noodles. With Liu Xiulan to help, the work at home was done much faster, and soon the two curtains were full Wrap the sticky bean bag and put it outside to freeze it. After steaming the pot of sweet potato noodles, put it outside to cool.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the day when Li Mulin returned home. Li Muwu and Li Musen went to the train station early in the morning and waited until noon. Arrived at the train from Bingcheng.

Brothers have been apart for ten years. Li Mulin wore a washed-white tunic suit with a large padded jacket over it, oilcloth spiked shoes on his feet, and two large burdens on his shoulders. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the two older brothers in home-clothed clothes. Say hello from a distance.

Li Muwu only then reacted, and hurriedly took things with Mu Sen, laughing and not knowing what to say. Li Mulin knew that the two older brothers had neither studied nor cultured, so he called his daughter-in-law and children first: "This is my lover Zhang Chunhua, these are my two sons, the older one is Mingshu and the younger one is called Mingshu. Mingxin."

"I know, I know, the letter you sent before, Dongzi and Mingxi, have been read to us, and my mother is talking about two children. I can stay at home for a while before going back. "

Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tugged at the back of Li Mulin's clothes, Li Mulin smiled and reached out to knock Zhang Chunhua's hand off and let the two children shout: "This is your second Uncle, third master, hurry up and call someone."

Although Ming Shu and Ming Xin also wore patches on their clothes, their faces were very white, and they were so delicate, they all hid behind Zhang Chunhua when they heard that they wanted to call someone come out.

Looking at Li Mulin's uneasy look, Mu Wu and Mu Sen hurriedly agreed: "My child is afraid of life, it's alright, let's go home quickly, we'll know when we get acquainted with it. Call someone."

Li Mulin reluctantly looked back at his silent wife and son. He was afraid that the two older brothers would have an idea, so he hurriedly asked about the mother's body and the current situation at home.

The family left the train station talking, Zhang Chunhua used to look up to find the trolleybus stop sign, but looking left and right didn't look like there was a tram, just turned around and wanted to ask, I saw that Li Muwu had already put the two big burdens he brought on to a tattered ox cart.

Zhang Chunhua's face suddenly turned green.
