happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 47
At noon on the second day of junior high school, a young man wearing a military overcoat and a cotton hat came from outside Taoshu Village.

After entering the village, Li Hongjun raised his head to look in the direction of his home, wiped his face with his hands, and scratched the ice gada off his eyelashes, and he was almost there.

He rushed back from the team on the first day of the new year, took the train all night, got off the train and transferred to a passenger car, and finally arrived at the county seat. There was no bus from the county seat to Taoshu Village, so he had to walk back.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qiu Shuping, who was teasing her grandson on the kang, called out to her little girl: "Xianghe, go and open the door, and see who is here?"

"There are so many people at home, they come to me for everything. Let me rest for a day." Li Xianghe looked displeased, but obediently went to open the door.

"Second brother is back."

After Li Xianghe opened the door and saw the people standing outside, he screamed and then shouted loudly.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Who's here?" Qiu Shuping heard her little girl's cry in the room, and hurriedly shouted to the outside.

"Mom, it's my second brother who is back." Li Xianghe shouted louder this time. "Second brother, come into the house quickly, and I'll get you the bag." Ever since she saw second brother come back, she never took her eyes off the military satchel on second brother's body.

Li Xianghe shouted this time not only Qiu Shuping heard it, but everyone in the Li family heard it.At this moment, the entire Li family seemed to be bombed. The eldest daughter who was busy in the kitchen, the eldest daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and son who were chattering in the house all ran out of the house.

"Mother, I'm back." Li Hongjun said with a slight smile, looking at the family members all over the yard.

"You child, I hope you come back, why don't you send a telegram to advance the branch meeting?" Qiu Shuping's eyes were slightly red, she looked at her second son whom she hadn't seen for a year, and complained a few words.

"Oh, mother, let's stop talking outside, and let the little uncle come in to warm up." The eldest daughter-in-law said eagerly with one hand on her back.

Only then did Qiu Shuping remember that the whole family was still blocking the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, okay, let's all go inside." She stepped forward and grabbed her second son and dragged her into the house.

So a large group of people surrounded Li Hongjun and entered the house.

When Li Hongjun saw his father sitting on the kang, his eyes were slightly flushed, "Father, I'm back."

Li Wang just heard what his daughter said, and he couldn't sit still and wanted to go outside to have a look, but he kept his identity, so he held his temper and waited for the second child to come into the house to see him.

"Why is there a holiday this year?" Li Wangcai looked at his second son, the creases on his face deepened.

"Something happened in the regiment, and the regiment leader couldn't go home, so he gave me the family leave." Li Hongjun explained.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Li Wangcai also patted his son several times excitedly.

Then the whole family chatted around Li Hongjun. Li Hongjun was not a talkative person. When he was at home, his relationship with his family members was not so good. Maybe he went to serve as a soldier, so he came back to visit relatives a few times, except for his father and eldest sister, he was a little impatient with the rest of the people, especially the questions they asked.

Fortunately, after a while, Li Xianglian, the eldest sister of the Li family, called for dinner, and Li Hongjun's face looked better.

There are many Li family members, so today's meal is one table on the kang against the next table, and the whole family sat down.

The Li family is a big family. The head of the family, Li Wang, is only 52 years old. He is a veteran of the Red Army. He did not go home for several years because he was on the battlefield.When I came back, the family had already decided to marry a daughter-in-law, the hostess Qiu Shuping, 55 years old, a very good housewife.

The eldest son Li Hongxing is 28 years old, and his wife is the niece of Qiu Shuping's natal sister-in-law's family. She is 26 years old this year. They gave birth to two grandchildren for Qiu Shuping. The name Erdan.There is still one in ****'s belly now, and it has been four months.

The eldest daughter Li Xianglian is 26 years old, and her son-in-law Liu Jianjun is 28 years old. They have three children, Liu Honglei, 7 years old, Liu Jia, 6 years old, and Liu Hongtao, 3 years old.

Next is Li Hongjun.

Behind him is an 18-year-old younger sister Li Xianghe and a 15-year-old younger brother Li Hongqi.

Meals are divided into two tables, men eat on the kang regardless of size, and women eat on the table on the ground.

Li Xianghe looked at the men on the table who were chatting enthusiastically, gritted his teeth, finally couldn't hold back, and asked suddenly: "Second brother, did you bring me a scarf when you came back?"

In fact, she had already looked through the small bag brought back by the second brother just now, but she didn't find it, but she didn't give up. Did the second brother put the scarf on his body? She wrote a letter to explain it.

"No, my place is Shangala, and they don't sell these." Li Hongjun glanced at his sister, then lowered his head and took a bite of the food.

"Then you give me some money, and I can buy it myself." Li Xianghe said as a matter of course.

"Are you owing, do you buy what you buy, and how can you have that leisure." Although Qiu Shuping hurts the old girl, the money in the pocket of the second son is to respect her. Now the old girl wants, isn't it just deducted money from her pocket? .

"Why not? He can give five yuan to outsiders every month. Why can't he give it to me? I'm still his own sister." Li Xianghe was not convinced, and then said what he couldn't say.

In an instant, Li Hongjun's sharp eyes swept over him, and Li Xianghe pouted unconvinced, but he didn't dare to continue arguing.

Qiu Shuping's complexion became a little bad. She looked at her second son and the old man, then turned her head and gave her old daughter a look, "What are you talking about?" She was also angry when she said this.

Why should the son spend money to support the woman before he is married? If he has a lot of money, he doesn't know how to be filial to her as a mother.

But she understands her second son's temper, that is a stubborn donkey, she had a bad relationship with the second son at the beginning, she was really afraid that if she objected, the second son would give all the salary to that woman in a fit of anger, the second son really can do this.

"Why can't I say it, the second brother can do it, why can't I say it." Li Xianghe whispered unconvinced.

Li Hongjun looked at his father, but he didn't say anything. He told the matter to his father alone, and told him not to tell his mother. Now that everyone in the family knows, it must be the father who said it.

Li Wang felt that his face was hot, and when his second son told him what he was not allowed to say, he turned around and told the old woman that he was bald, and he couldn't justify it.

"What are you talking nonsense about? She's an outsider. That's your future second sister-in-law. Now your second sister-in-law is alone. It's difficult. Why can't your second brother give her some money to live?" Li Wang shouted anxiously with a pale face. .

"Father, calm down, Xianghe is ignorant, let her eldest sister talk about her well later, we are not angry when it is Chinese New Year." Liu Jianjun has always been a peacemaker.He does this work for Li's parents.

"Grandpa, I want to eat chicken legs." Li Shiguo also came over to make trouble at this time.

"I want it too, I want it too." Liu Honglei and the little carrots shouted.

"Okay, okay, everything." Li Wangcai immediately changed from cloudy to sunny.

"Mother, hasn't Yunfang come to the house for the new year?" Li Hongjun asked seemingly unintentionally.

"No..." Before Qiu Shuping finished speaking, she heard Li Xianghe say: "The food has been brought here, why is she here?"

"What do you mean? What food?"
