"Have you prepared everything? It's your first time to go get your stuff. Don't be too light."
Gu Xingdong nodded: "I bought two pounds of meat, two bottles of liquor, two cans of cans, and two cans of malted milk in town today." There were four gifts in total.
Li Xiulan thought for a while, got up, went to the kang, took out the key, and divided half of the biscuits and toffee chocolates he brought back.
"Your father-in-law has many children, so bring more food."
Liu Yuemin looked at such a large bag of food, half of which was about to be taken away before her two sons even took a bite, and her expression suddenly changed.
She held her son in her arms and pinched his butt secretly. Gu Ming was just over a year old. He was happily tasting the vegetable juice his father Gu Xingmin fed him, when his butt suddenly hurt, and he immediately opened his mouth and burst into tears.
.
"Mom, you see that you are crying even though you know that the food is going to be divided."
Li Xiulan didn't like hearing what she said, and frowned and said: "Everything should be shared. It's normal for the third child to take half of the food he bought to his father-in-law's house. He is obviously a child and doesn't know much. Don't look away.
What a shame. Hurry up and put the child to bed."
Liu Yuemin held the child in her arms and patted it twice in a pretentious manner: "Mom, this child is very semen. You see, he keeps making noises when he sees food."
"Milk, I want something delicious too." When three-year-old Gu Lin saw his brother crying, he also started to quarrel.
Li Xiulan suddenly had one head and two children. She had no choice but to give each child two pieces of toffee and one piece of chocolate.
Liu Yuemin was unwilling to accept this little thing: "Mom, he is obviously your grandson. I heard that malted milk..."
"Malted milk has nothing to do with you. If you want to sit here, let the child be coaxed. If you don't want to, just take the child back to your room. The adults are talking about business. My head hurts listening to him cry."
Liu Yuemin wouldn't go back to the house. If she didn't sit here and watch, who knows what else her mother-in-law would give to the Chen family.
When she and Gu Xingmin returned to her parents' house, they only had two things. The third child and his wife had a nice house. They had six gifts.
"That's right, he is not popular as a boy. How could there be someone else's daughter Jin Gui? Don't mention him as a child. I have grown up and don't even know the taste of malted milk. Sister-in-law, have you ever tasted it?"
Zhang Qin was sitting aside, and she didn't expect Liu Yuemin to call her name. Although she hadn't eaten it, if she really said this, it would definitely be more difficult for her mother-in-law and three younger siblings.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "I'm such an old man that I don't care so much. I eat the same food."
Liu Yuemin saw that she was cowardly and would rather be wronged than dare to stand with her. She immediately twisted her body in anger and pushed the child into the arms of Gu Xingmin who was still eating.
"You bitch, I haven't finished eating yet." Gu Xingmin was afraid that the child would fall, so he had to use one hand to hold him.
"What's the use of eating so much? You can only grow taller but not brainy." Liu Yuemin said bitterly.
According to the degree of partiality of the elder couple, if the family continues to mess with things like this, sooner or later everything will fall into the hands of the third elder and his wife.
Don't think she doesn't know how many things the two of them bought in town today. Especially that watch and those two pieces of polyester silk. The prices are definitely not cheap.
The same daughter-in-law, why should Chen Lishu have her? The more Liu Yuemin thought about it, the angrier she became.
Li Xiulan rolled her eyes at her, then turned around and said to Chen Lishu: "It's getting late. Just leave the dinner table for your sister-in-law and I to clear it. You and Xingdong can get your things and go over there early."
"Thank you, Mom."
Chen Lishu nodded and went back to her parents' house with Gu Xingdong with her things.
Ever since they heard the news about Gu Xingdong's return, Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei had been eagerly waiting for their uncle to come. At the same time, they had been worried about their daughter.
Now when my uncle entered the courtyard, he saw a good-looking man with a tall and upright posture. He was very happy for his daughter.
"Looking at his clear and upright eyes, he is someone worth trusting for the rest of his life. Live a good life with him from now on. Xingdong is not at home all the year round. You try to have a baby as soon as possible..."
Wu Chunmei took Chen Lishu's hand and babbled a lot. As she spoke, she even raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. She was happy for her daughter when they came back, but when she thought that they would be separated in two places all year round, she started to worry about her daughter again.
stand up.
Chen Lishu was afraid that she would worry, so she nodded her head no matter what she said.
Because they came here after dinner, the two of them did not leave any food at Chen's house. The family talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark outside, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong got up and left. Before leaving, Chen Manyun specially brought some food to him.
Two rabbits.
Now when he has time in the evening, he will go to the mountains to buy condoms, and he can exchange them for ten or eight yuan in the town for Liu Yong in ten and a half months.
Back home, everyone had already rested. Chen Lishu had just washed up and entered the house when she saw Gu Xingdong taking something out. Chen Lishu took it without knowing why, and when she saw that it was a bankbook, she felt her hands were a little hot.
"This is my salary over the past few years. I have already given it to you from my parents. I will keep this for you from now on."
Gu Xingdong paused and said: "My current monthly salary including subsidies is one hundred and sixty-eight yuan. There are no expenses for the army. I will remit money regularly every month. You can tell me what you want to buy.
.I will send it to you by mail from the provincial capital. When I go back this time, I will report the marriage to my superiors. As for accompanying the army..."
Gu Xingdong looked at the little daughter-in-law with downcast eyes in front of him, who was even a bit well-behaved. When he thought about the house he gave to Wu Zheng, he suddenly felt regretful.
But they have all been given away. We can only urge the people in the logistics department to do some serious work as soon as possible.
"Because this is a newly built base, the facilities are not yet complete. I'm afraid we have to wait a while."
After Chen Lishu listened and waited, her shoulders slumped slightly and she felt relaxed.
After putting away their bankbooks, the two of them washed up before going to bed on the kang.
Although Gu Xingdong was still hugging him tightly, he did not make any further move. Although Chen Lishu was shy, she was a little moved in her heart.
…
"Third Aunt, have you heard? The movie projectionist from above is going to show a movie in our brigade today. At five o'clock in the evening, there will be a tunnel battle at the threshing floor at the entrance of the village. Will you and my Third Uncle go? I'll go and occupy it for you after school.
place."
Gu Zhao ran into the yard from outside like a gust of wind. He had just taken his afternoon break, and because he was running so fast, there were beads of sweat on his dark forehead.
Chen Lishu was washing clothes in the yard, and Gu Xingdong was chopping firewood beside her. The two looked at each other, and Gu Xingdong spoke first: "Go."
Chen Lishu pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "The food is hot in the pot. You can just take it out. Be careful not to burn yourself."
Gu Zhao nodded and scurried into the kitchen.
During dinner, everyone in the family knew about the movie showing in the team. This kind of entertainment is rare in the village, and both adults and children were very happy.
