Chapter 187 Returning to Uncle’s House
"I don't dare to tell my father this," Wu Chaozi curled his lips, "women do all the housework in other families. If our father does it all by himself, he will definitely be laughed to death by the other men in the village. .”

Shen Su'e said unhappily: "Who said that women should do housework? Look at your second brother, he works much more efficiently than your second sister-in-law, and I haven't seen anyone else in the village laughing at him."

"Why aren't you smiling? They say he is a wife slave..."

"What's wrong with my daughter-in-law? She's fine. You, stop listening to those people gossiping!" Shen Su'e said with a look of disgust, "They say women have long tongues. Let me tell you, those men in the village should chew their tongues a little more. Sons are no worse than women."

Wu Chaozi sounded embarrassed, "Anyway, I don't dare to ask dad to wash dishes, clothes, and cook for us. How about I stay at home and do housework? Anyway, I'm not old, and I'm not afraid of other people in the village laughing at me." .”

After saying this, he looked at his third brother and joked: "So, we still have to let the third brother marry a wife and go home as soon as possible! This way, even when mother is not around, the third sister-in-law can help take care of it."

"Your third brother is indeed going to marry a wife, but, as you just said, my thinking is still too old-school. Don't young people nowadays talk about free love? You still have to find someone you like. "

Shen Su'e patted her third son on the back and continued: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely give you a good choice. Pick the type you like. It doesn't matter even if you are not good at housework. The main thing is that you like it yourself." .”

"Mom, why are you involving me again? Don't listen to Chaozi's nonsense..."

Wu Chaozi smiled and said: "What did I say? I just said that casually, haha, third brother, mother said to pick one you like, please tell me what you like? Long hair or short hair?" ?Tall or short? Fat or thin? Yeah, I guess you don’t have to choose, there probably aren’t many fat people these days.

Or...like the female teacher who taught elementary school just now, neither fat nor thin, of medium height...is her hair considered short or long?The hair that just reaches the shoulders should be considered as half-long hair, right? "

Hearing him keep laughing at himself, San Leizi put his arms around him and restrained him, "Do you still dare to laugh at me?"

His fifth brother was choked by him and couldn't breathe, "I was wrong... I was wrong, I will never say it again, cough cough cough..."

Sanleizi heard him cough and hurriedly let go of him.

Seeing the two of them playing around, Xiao Lingbao couldn't help but giggle, "The third brother and the fifth brother look like children."

"These two boys really haven't grown up yet." Shen Su'e shook her head.

Afterwards, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things together, ate noodles and steamed buns at a stall in the market that was about to close, and separated in the afternoon.

Before parting, Wu Chaozi reluctantly said: "Mom, you have to bring Lingbao back early. Lingbao is not at home these days. I always feel that something is missing at home. I feel so empty that I can't sleep well at night. "

"I know, go back quickly, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? Go to bed early at night, don't get out of bed, and you will be late on the first day."

"Oh." Wu Chaozi responded and waved to his sister, "Lingbao, if you miss Brother Wu..."

"Yeah! Lingbao will miss you every day!"

Sanleizi stared at the mule for a while, a little worried, "Mom, no matter what, this mule kicked someone before. Is it really okay for you to drive this mule cart back alone? How about I take you down first?" Take it back to your uncle's house?"

Little Lingbao said at this time: "Third brother, don't worry, Lingbao is with my mother. If this mule dares to bully my mother, I will definitely make him walk around without food!" She said as she shook her hand. Small fist.

The mule shrank down and took two steps back. It looked like it was trembling, and it made several "thumping" mule sounds from its mouth.

Wu Chaozi knew that Lingbao could understand the sounds of animals, and asked curiously: "Lingbao, what was this mule saying just now?" "It said that it owed it ten courages, and it didn't even dare to bully Lingbao's mother. ."

After translating the mule's words, the baby patted the mule's head and said, "Not bad, not bad. You are a bit smart. You are not that stupid mule. But next time, you are not allowed to kick anyone again. You have to ask me first before kicking someone. , understand?”

"咴咴...咴咴...咴咴咴..."

"What are you afraid of when there is a thief? Tell me, there is no thief in the world that Lingbao can't catch!" Xiao Lingbao looked confident.

Listening to the conversation between his sister and Mule, Wu Chaozi felt that Lingbao was so cute and domineering, so lovable.

"Okay, okay, you two, hurry up and leave," Shen Su'e urged her two sons. "The last carriage back to the village is coming soon. If you don't catch it, you will have to walk back later."

"Mom, Lingbao, Chaozi and I will leave first." Sanleizi said.

His mother nodded, "Well, take care of yourself, and take good care of your dad. Go to bed early and don't be late for work tomorrow."

"I know, mother, you should take good care of yourself and your Lingbao..."

Lingbao waved his little hand, said goodbye to his brothers, and stayed with his mother in the market for a while. He waited until about two o'clock before driving a mule cart back to his uncle's house.

Zhao Cuilan was surprised when she saw her sister-in-law carrying a large basket of eggplants out of the car. After a while, the rest of the Shen family gathered around.

"What? Eggplant?"

"Yes, Lingbao, her father planted it in the yard last fall, and it happened to bear fruit this spring. He picked it all morning, and he gave me this big basket." Shen Su'e made nonsense, not worrying about others. Do not believe.

Uncle Shen recalled the previous visit to his sister and brother-in-law's house. He felt a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Planted in the yard? It's strange. I don't remember that I didn't see anything planted in the yard when I went to your house last time." Something?"

"It's not the yard where I live, but several other houses."

Putting a large basket of eggplants on the ground, Shen Su'e took a breath and explained in a casual and natural tone: "Our village divides the land according to men. The more men in the family, the more land is allocated. I gave birth to five children." Son, we have divided up several pieces of land.

Previously, he was worried that his sons would be separated and have no house to live in. Lingbao's father specially built a loess house on those pieces of land. Later, the eldest and second son were separated. There were two other houses that were unoccupied, and they were used for farming on weekdays. something. "

"Oh, that's it." Uncle Shen nodded and didn't think there was any problem, because Tiegou Village also divided land according to men. When his third and fourth brothers separated their families before, they divided the land according to the village's Homestead allocated according to rules.

While they were talking, Liao Guifen pulled her husband aside and said, "Do you still remember what Lingbao said before? He said that I should eat a lot of dark vegetables..."

Shen Guisheng nodded, "Remember, what happened?"

"Isn't eggplant just a dark vegetable? No wonder I'm deficient in calcium and other things. Our family hasn't eaten eggplant in many years?" Liao Guifen swallowed a few times, "You can find a way to ask your eldest aunt to order some eggplant. Huh? If she won’t give it to you for free, then buy some from her.”
