Chapter 173
173. Give New Year Gift
"Auntie, then let's go back first," Lin Qingxi and Zhou Guizhi said this, and Zhou's mother helped him leave the supply and marketing cooperative.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got on the ox cart. After they sat firmly, Lin Qingxi was wrapped in a military coat, and Zhou's father also drove the ox cart back to Zhoujiatun to go home.
It was already past four o'clock when Lin Qingxi was supported by two girls Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu to sit down to rest. Zhou's father took the children to move the things from the ox cart to the main hall.
On the kang, Zhou's mother went to burn the kang as soon as she came in.
"Mom, Xi girl, you sit down and rest for a while. My girl and I go to the kitchen to cook dinner." Zhou's mother is not a person who can rest. She will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't do her job at home.
Look, Lin Qingxi and the others didn't even sit on the butts. Zhou's mother didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief when she got home. She started to burn the kang and now she was going to the kitchen to prepare supper.
"Mom, you have some rest first! Dinner is still early. If you don't have time, you can cook noodles and take a bite. You can sit down first and let's discuss making clothes together." Lin Qingxi felt very sorry for Zhou's mother and an old man.
When you are busy like a cow, you don’t have to take a break.
"Okay, then I'll take a rest," Zhou's mother felt very comfortable. After being busy for so many years, this was the first time that someone asked me to rest. Although Zhou's father felt sorry for him, he did not speak up for him to rest. Instead, he
Work together and share the burden.
"I didn't buy cotton. I still have some cotton I bought before. I originally said to make winter clothes for triplets, but I can take it out to make winter clothes for my grandparents and grandparents first. I will buy it if I encounter it next year.
That's it."
Lin Qingxi thought about it and said that Zhou Dajiang and his wife were OK, and it was worth her to use cotton to make thick clothes for them to wear. Compared with the grandparents of the Sun family, Zhou Ming also loved this grandson. Can she also replace Zhou Ming to be filial to him?
elder.
"Okay," Zhou's mother thought for a moment. The triplets were born in May next year. At that time, they just got hot. There was no need to prepare thick clothes, so they could use them first.
"Okay, let's leave the clothes to you. My mother and sister Mingmin will use sewing machines and breasts. You can help them cut cloth and make threads together." Thinking of the scene, Lin Qingxi couldn't help laughing.
"You girl," although everyone didn't know why she laughed, they also knew it was not a bad thing. So Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin began to discuss making clothes.
Lin Qingxi sat beside her and ordered Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu to sort out the pastries and other things, put them in the cabinet, and took a small part out and placed them on the kang table for everyone to eat.
"Okay, mom, you and girl Min cut out the cloth first. I'll go to make dinner," Zhou's mother said, looking at the darker sky outside. She planned to cook noodles as Lin Qingxi said.
In the next two days, Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin were busy making thick winter clothes for Zhou Dajiang and his wife, the four elders of the Sun family, to knit and sweaters.
Lin Qingxi was deprived of her right to participate because of her pregnancy. Fortunately, she had a clear idea and knew that the baby in her belly should be the priority. She did not have to participate. She just sat next to her and watched the three lesbians do it.
.
Because Grandma Zhou suggested that the clothes of her parents-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, the grandparents of the Sun family, were made first for the clothes of her parents-in-law.
On the morning of the 24th day of the 12th lunar month, Zhou's mother sorted out the winter clothes and sweaters made for her parents and put them into the basket on the kang. Next to the basket were the tobacco, alcohol and candy that Lin Qingxi had bought before. Zhou's mother came from
Half a pound of fruit candy and a pound of milk candy were divided into it, and another dried rabbit and a leg of mutton was taken to Zhou's mother to take her to Sun's house to send her New Year gifts.
Logically speaking, Lin Qingxi also had to go with her granddaughter-in-law while sitting, but because she was pregnant and had a lot of mobility, Zhou's mother asked her to stay at home and left Zhou Mingmin at home to take care of her.
"Xi Yatou, don't work at home. If you have something to do, let Girl Min do for you," Zhou's mother stood at the door and told her worriedly.
Because Zhou Mingmin didn't go, Zhou's mother decided not to take the children. They were just the two old guys and didn't have to borrow a ox cart from the brigade. Instead, they rode Lin Qingxi's bicycle. Anyway, Zhou's father recently
He pestered Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong and asked them to teach him how to ride a bicycle.
"I know, mom, I won't go to work," Lin Qingxi responded seriously. She didn't know the importance of it. She had such a big belly, what could she do.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhou's mother didn't say anything. She got into the back seat of the bicycle, and Zhou's father rode his bicycle to the Zhou family.
As soon as Zhou’s father and mother left, the children went out to play like a splash, and only two girls stayed at home, thinking about doing housework for Zhou Mingmin.
"Auntie, please tell us to knit sweaters!" Xiang Yijing looked at Zhou Mingmin with gaze and knitting sweaters neatly, and Grandma Zhou was responsible for wrapping thread for her.
"Okay! Lulu comes here and learn together!" Lin Qingxi looked at Xie Lu, who showed envious eyes, and called her over to learn together.
In this way, Lin Qingxi sat next to them and taught them to knit sweaters. One of them taught them seriously, and the two learned seriously. When they watched them knit a few lines, Lin Qingxi let them knit them by themselves, and they also knitted them.
Exactly sensible.
On the other side, Zhou's father and mother came to the Sun's house on a bicycle, which was the next brigade. It took an hour to ride a bicycle. When they arrived, the Sun family happened to be sitting in the main hall chatting with Maodong. They saw Zhou's father.
Zhou's mother went over and started to make them one by one. She went to the kitchen to make food, poured sugar water, and took things out from the cabinet to entertain them.
"Why are you here? I understand why my wife doesn't come?" Seeing that only Zhou's father and mother came, Grandpa Sun asked with a stern face and unhappy look, thinking that his daughter and son-in-law did not value him.
"Dad, mother, eldest brother, younger brother, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. It is not convenient to come over with a big belly. When she gives birth, I will take her here to see you if I have time," Zhou's mother said with a smile. Today is great.
In life, she doesn't care about her parents' family and can't get angry.
But Zhou's mother was still having a gap with her mother's family. When she gave birth to a girl, her family despised her as a girl and didn't say a word. Whether it was a three-year bath, a full moon, a hundred days, or a year old, it was not at all.
She had never figured it out. She gave birth to a child from the Zhou family and was also surnamed by the Zhou family. What qualifications do her parents have to favor boys over girls? Her father-in-law didn't say a bad word, and she was more than a few grandchildren to Min.
Pay more attention.
Zhou's mother's name is Sun Zhaodi. As the name suggests, she wanted to recruit a younger brother for the Sun family. Sure enough, Grandma Sun gave birth to two sons one after another, and she became even more uneasy and did not pay attention to her.
After so many years, her parents were getting older, so she thought that her parents’ family was poor and it was not easy for her parents, so she said that she wanted to make a winter clothes with her parents for her parents, which was also a fulfillment for her children.
This heart.
However, Zhou's mother now regretted her so much that she hated herself forgot her hard days and blamed her for thinking about such a boyish parent, and thought about being filial to them. This is really the biggest joke.
