those years of rebirth

(Ticket asked!) Night.

Wang Hengxiao followed Chen Xiaoling to her house. It was getting dark, and Chen Xiaoling's mother had just returned from school for a while, packing things in the house.

Seeing Wang Hengxiao's return, Mother Chen was very happy. After all, she was the son-in-law chosen by herself, so she took Wang Hengxiao to look up and down.

"Hehe, you two are having fun, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Chen's mother was happy to arrange dinner. Yesterday, Chen Xiaoling naturally told her mother when she came back, so there were specially prepared delicious food in the house, besides the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year, there were also some wild game and so on.

The two little guys, who were full at the grandfather's house just now, want to eat again here, so they have to eat.

In the valley of my hometown, the biggest New Year’s event is to slaughter pigs. When the pigs are slaughtered, the neighbors around will come to help. The sound of pig slaughtering will be heard for more than ten miles.Then the rest is smoked into bacon, and the average family can eat it for about half a year, so many families still have bacon from last year's Chinese New Year in the middle of the year or even at the end of the year.

At Mother Chen's house, Wang Hengxiao and Chen Xiaoling were relatively honest, and they were sneaky when they made intimate gestures from time to time.

After a while, the two went to help in the kitchen together. Wang Hengxiao sat in front of the stove to light the fire, and Chen Xiaoling helped her mother chop vegetables.Mother Chen's face was full of smiles. Seeing that the two little guys were so sensible and seemed like a couple, they would definitely be successful in the future, and they would be a happy young couple.

The happiness of her daughter has been settled, and what Ms. Chen misses most is her duty as a teacher. The children in the mountains are very miserable, but it is really difficult for her to change anything by herself.

However, the most frequently asked questions were about Wang Hengxiao's family.

During the war last year, Ms. Chen was very concerned. After all, it was very close to Xinjiang. I heard that there was some confusion. She even called Wang Hengxiao's house to say hello.

Wang Hengxiao described the situation at home one by one, and there was no major change from when he came last year.After last year's bumper harvest, the family's savings have increased, and my father's prestige in the village has increased.

Talking about buying a house for my grandfather in the town and meeting Uncle Chen.

Chen's mother froze for a moment, her face was a little ugly.

Almost everyone in the Chen family was not very authentic, the only one who was authentic was Chen Xiaoling's father, but because of his authenticity, he was bullied by his brothers and relatives.

When she was a child, at the engagement banquet, Wang Hengxiao saw the face of the Chen family, so she told her father not to have too many close friends with the Chen family, it might be a bottomless pit.

If Chen Xiaoling's family needs anything and how much money they want, Wang Hengxiao will never frown, and will give as much as he wants, but if the money goes around in Chen Xiaoling's house and goes to a white-eyed wolf like Chen Sanshu , then Wang Hengxiao would rather not give a penny.

"Hey, baby, those relatives are all over the place... just pretend you haven't seen it, you know? Every time his third uncle comes back to our house to borrow money, if he doesn't borrow money, he won't leave."

Chen's mother said in a low voice: "I also blame Lingwa'er's father. Every time he says he is a brother, he helps if he can. If he doesn't say it, let's see. Have his brothers helped us?"

Speaking of the relatives of the Chen family, Mother Chen was also quite dissatisfied.

Chen Xiaoling's father works outside the home all the year round to make money, and he only comes back for about a month during Chinese New Year every year.Usually, mother Chen and Chen Xiaoling are at home. Mother Chen is usually busy at school.

That's why Chen Xiaoling became so dependent on Wang Hengxiao after she was with Wang Hengxiao. Her father was not at home, her mother was busy with work, and her relatives ignored her. Wang Hengxiao almost became her everything.

Thinking of the first time he saw Chen Xiaoling when he was a child, the girl was calm and cute, she didn't want to leave him even in sleep, thinking of the girl's lonely childhood, Wang Hengxiao felt sour, and gave a doting look at Chen Xiaoling who was washing vegetables there.

Mother Chen was dissatisfied, but she was a woman after all, and she was also a scholar. It was impossible for her to be like other women in the mountains. She could swear for a long time on the mountain ridge, and she could hear it all over the place, so she was bored in her heart. , It is obviously unreasonable to reason with someone like Chen Sanshu.

"Auntie, if not, why don't you go to the town to teach? My father wants to buy a house for my grandfather in the town. I checked with Ling Wa'er today. There is a big house to buy. I want to buy it. Daddy That's right, in the town where you and my grandfather live, Lingwa'er also goes to school in the town, isn't it more convenient."

Wang Hengxiao thought for a while, and persuaded: "Lingwa'er goes to school in the town, and walks back and forth for several miles every day..."

Mother Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Wang Hengxiao a surprised look.

In the previous generation, it was rumored that raising children to guard against old age, raising daughters to cook dog food for others!

Old man Liu is just Wang Hengxiao's external skills, and their family will pay for the old man to buy a house in the town, at least tens of thousands, such a son-in-law, I am afraid that there has not been one son-in-law in this mountain for a hundred years.

"Hehe, your grandfather found a good son, and your father is a good man."

Mother Chen smiled and said, "Lingwa'er can go to the town to live with Uncle Liu and the others. I'll take a look. This class is full, so I'll turn around and have a look."

Wang Hengxiao and Chen Xiaoling looked at each other and laughed. Chen Xiaoling knew her mother very well, as long as she didn't reject her outright, there was basically a joke.

Tuk tuk... There was a knock on the door.

The wooden door of the living room was pushed open, and a voice shouted: "My sister-in-law is in the room... Lingwa?"

"In the kitchen over here."

Chen Xiaoling readily agreed.

A few footsteps came to mind.

Two middle-aged people came in, wearing washed and faded black clothes, among them was Chen Sanshu who I saw in the town today. Standing behind another middle-aged man, Chen Sanshu presumably was the senior person in the Chen family.

"Hehe, Lingwa, you all come here..."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Chen Xiaoling yelled: "Daddy...Third Dad..."

This middle-aged man is the boss of the Chen family.

Wang Hengxiao also yelled: "Daddy, third daddy..."

"okay!"

Uncle Chen nodded and said, looking at Mama Chen, Mama Chen was cooking on her own and ignored them. Mama Chen was soft-tempered and would not quarrel or fight, but would ignore others.

"Hehe..." Uncle Chen smiled awkwardly, sat down with Uncle Chen, and said, "Just now the third brother came back and said that Bawa'er came back from Xinjiang, and Lingwa'er went to the station to pick her up. Baby, how are you doing in Xinjiang?"

Wang Hengxiao nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang Hengxiao didn't have much to say.

Uncle Chen said: "The third child said that your father wants to buy Uncle Liu a house in the town?"

Wang Hengxiao nodded, and said: "Well, my father said that my grandfather is old, and he can't walk in the town every time. It's not convenient to be a farmer in the mountains. It's better to live in the town."

Uncle Chen nodded, and said slowly: "Oh, it costs a lot of money to buy a house, you can afford it at once."

Wang Hengxiao smiled and said: "It's okay, my father sent the money to my grandfather, and I will go to the town to give the money tomorrow, just go through the formalities."

Hear what Wang Hengxiao said.

Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen looked at each other.

"Cough cough..."

Uncle Chen coughed, his expression hesitated for a moment, and then he said: "Piao Wa'er, look, you and Ling Wa'er have been engaged since we were young, and we are also relatives, so you should also call me Daddy."

"We also want to buy a house in the town. Tell your father if there is any way to lend us some money."

"Usually, we treat Ling Wa'er like a woman in the house. His father is not in the house, and we also help them in the house."

Mother Chen put the bacon in the pot on a plate, and suddenly said, "Brother, can you spread the meat for us?"

"The baby Ling in our house grew up. Except for the New Year, it has been a long time to eat a meal in your house? Our field is not planted, so I planted it for you. Did you share a grain of rice with us?"

"Our pigsty is broken, and it was all fixed by Lingwa'er and me. Which of your brothers came to help?"

"Every time I borrow money, I come here. In the past few years, the third brother owes us three or four thousand yuan in the house, and the eldest brother also owes more than 1000 yuan. If it weren't for the help of the children in the house, our house Do Momi eat. You big guys, give us a penny of rice in the house?"

"Here, Ha'er is here to borrow again. Boss and third child, you won't get a penny!"

"Isn't the third child on good terms with Liao Defu in the town? Go to the Liao family's house to borrow it. My Wuling baby and I don't want to lend you a penny."

talking.

Chen's mother remembered the events of these years, and she couldn't stop crying, dripping on the stove. Chen Xiaoling walked over slowly, holding her mother's hand, also full of tears.

Boom... Uncle Chen slapped the chair with a slap, and waited for Chen Xiaoling's mother and son with a dark face, and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, why don't you talk to us?"

"The money I borrowed from you is all on IOUs. When I have money in the next day, I have to pay you back."

After thinking about it, Uncle Chen suppressed this sentence, because what Chen's mother said was the truth, and after thinking about it carefully, the brothers really hadn't done anything for Chen Xiaoling's family for so many years.

When their family is short of money, they will come to Chen Xiaoling's house to borrow money, because Chen's mother receives salary every month and has cash.This was the first time seeing Mother Chen talking to them like this, and Uncle Chen, who had formed a habit, was a little annoyed.

I am the boss, and you are my younger brother's daughter-in-law. People say that the eldest brother is like a father, how do you say that?

Uncle Chen was panting, obviously angry in his heart. His elder brother's authority was provoked by a woman. In a rage, he picked up a fire stick beside him and threw it at Mother Chen's body.

"I teach you Nongmen to be a good sister-in-law and a teacher, so Nongmen talk to me?"

A dark stick greeted the past.

Wang Hengxiao's complexion changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "How dare you!" He stretched out his hand to block it.

Chen Xiaoling moved a little faster, grabbed Uncle Chen's wrist, swung her arm, and threw the elder she usually called uncle directly out.
