Dressed to be a grandmother

Chapter 439
Old Aunt Li groaned for a while, then let go of her hand, humming: "Not only to pick up your sister, but also pick up your brother-in-law."

"Okay! Ma'am, you're so nice, what are you doing when you bring my sister and brother-in-law back?" Li Datou also saw that the girl is fine, probably the old lady is thinking about her daughter.

"Go as soon as you are told, there is so much nonsense."

Aunt Li: "Just say that there is something happy in our family, and let them come back for a good meal. By the way, you go to the village to set up an ox cart, and you have already agreed with the village chief. Bring over twenty catties of dried sweet potatoes."

The youngest daughter and her son-in-law are raising two children. The son-in-law burns boilers in the mine and only gets 35 catties of grain a month. Although the youngest girl also has a registered permanent residence in the city, she works as a temporary worker and only gets 28 catties of grain a month. It is not enough for a person to raise two children and an old mother to eat every month.

"Okay. Mom, don't worry, I know."

Li Datou packed his things neatly, called his eldest son, went to the village head's house to say something, and then went into the city with a ox cart.

In a boiler room of the No. [-] Coal Mine in He'an City, Deng Youzhi's eyelids kept twitching. While he was busy working, he murmured in his heart that his left eyelid twitched for money and his right eyelid twitched for disaster.

He is left eyelid for a while, right eyelid for a while, where is there any money in the boiler room? As for this disaster, he thought about it for a while, could it be that the boss caused trouble at school again?
Here again, here again.

The left eyelid twitched a few more times, and Deng Youzhi picked up the enamel cup and drank most of it. He had already decided in his heart that if the boss really got into trouble at school and caused him to be sent to school again, then he would punish him tonight. Let's eat.

"Old Deng, old Deng~"

Someone ran to the door of the boiler room and shouted: "Old Deng, someone came to your wife's house, saying that your uncle is coming, and your wife is calling you back."

Deng Youzhi was taken aback when he heard this. Although he didn't know what the old uncle was doing, he still thanked the neighbor who came to inform him. Seeing that it was only half an hour before the end of get off work, he told his colleagues in the same shift today. With a sound, I left work early.

It was not the first time for Li Datou to come here, so he naturally knew where his brother-in-law lived.

After registering at the gate of the factory, I drove the ox cart to the family area.

The rows of green brick and large tiled houses did not look bad from the outside, but after entering the house, Li Datou frowned subconsciously.

Living in the city, having a job means having a job, but living in a house is very aggrieved.

Fortunately, there are only five people in the sister's family, if there are two more, they will not be able to live.

It is easy to see what is in the small house. There is a tin stove against the wall. Because of the fire and cooking in the house in winter, the surrounding walls are smoky and black.

There are tables and cabinets next to it, and two painted wooden beds are placed one behind the other inside, separated by a black homemade cloth between the two beds, the sister and brother-in-law with a half-year-old child are sleeping inside, and the outside is It was the grandma of the in-laws with the eldest nephew.

The big wooden box looked familiar. He remembered that it was the escort of the girl when she got married, and there were a few pee rings on it.

The grandma in the family was holding the half-year-old nephew, while the younger sister was picking up a handful of green vegetables that were barely ready. Li Datou thought that such vegetables are fed to pigs and chickens in the village.

Seeing Li Datou, sister Li Xiuhong was overjoyed.

"Auntie!" Li called out politely according to the rules.

"Brother, you're here. Xiaozhao is here too. I haven't seen you on a good day, and I've grown taller again. Come, let my aunt take a look." Li Xiuhong pulled Li Zhao, looked at her elder brother, her eyes were red with joy.

"Mom, my eldest brother is here."

Mrs. Deng was hugging her little grandson, and greeted her enthusiastically: "His uncle is here, hurry up, sit down, Xiuhong, quickly pour water for your eldest brother and your eldest nephew, is the rice in the pot, Tim some rice..."

While moving the bench, Li Xiuhong responded, "Oh, mother, I know."

Li Datou greeted Mrs. Deng with a smile, asked a few words about his health, and then put the things he brought on the table.

In addition to twenty catties of dried sweet potatoes, there were two catties of bacon and half a bag of vegetables.

This is not from the vegetable field in the village, but from his private plot in the backyard. It was planted in spring, and now is just the right time.

Seeing these things, Mrs. Deng was full of embarrassment: "His uncle, he came here as soon as he came. Why did he still bring things? How embarrassing. I always say to find time to see my in-laws, but I have never been free." ..."

In the past three years, during the difficult times, I relied on my daughter-in-law to go back to her natal family to ask for food. I heard that the food was given to Xiuhong a while ago, and the old lady passed out from hunger.

When Xiuhong found out, she cried to her heart's content, and Mrs. Deng couldn't help feeling guilty.

When her son married Li Xiuhong, there were some gossips in the mine who said why the good-looking urban people of their Deng family went to marry the countryside.

Not to mention this meeting, a few years ago, everyone wanted to run to the city. In order to become a city person, they sharpened their heads and wanted to find a partner in the city. I heard that Mrs. Deng found a rural place for her son. Daughter-in-law, don't you have to joke secretly.

However, Mrs. Deng didn't care. If the old lady in-laws hadn't given them a few catties of rice, she and the child's father would have lost their lives.

Later, she took her son back to thank the favor. Just at the entrance of the village, she ran into Li Xiuhong who was picking soap horns and washing clothes. When she arrived at Li's house, she saw Li Xiuhong busy, diligent and capable. From time to time, I would look at the girl, not knowing what was going on.

It happened that Mrs. Deng also took a liking to Li Xiuhong, who was hardworking and capable, and asked about it. She heard that Li Xiuhong hadn't promised her marriage yet, so she brazenly mentioned her son.

Aunt Li was dissatisfied at first, Deng Youzhi was much older than Li Xiuhong, a full seven years older.

Deng Youzhi delayed marrying a wife until he was 30 because he had a sick father at home.

When he was less than 17 years old, he took the boiler-burning class of his father. He was 27 or [-] years old when he sent his long-sick father away, and his family owed a lot of money.

No one wants to marry someone who is full of debts, so he didn't have the thought of finding a wife. He saved money and spent another three years to pay off the debt he owed.

Li Xiuhong was fair and delicate, and she had a gentle smile. Deng Youzhi blushed when he first saw her, and knowing that she was the benefactor's daughter, he didn't know where to look.

Hearing that Li Xiuhong didn't talk about marriage, he was both happy and disappointed. He was much older than her, and he couldn't speak. Except for burning boilers, she probably didn't like them.

But unexpectedly, when his mother Li Xiuhong thought about it, Li Xiuhong only stared at him for a while, asked a few words, and agreed.
