70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 174 The gossip Xie Xiaonian
"Really? Now that the housing in the city is so tight, where do you go to rent a house?" Xie Xiaonian also ignored the tears on his face, and raised his head to ask.

"Don't worry about this, I will definitely find a place, you have to believe in your man's ability." Xu Zhongjun said seriously while helping Xie Xiaonian wipe away tears.

"Forget it, you are going to school, I will follow what's going on, and you live outside, how can you be safe at home, isn't this a distraction for you! Don't worry, I will wait for you at home with the children Yes." Xie Xiaonian forced a smile and said.

"If you think it's not safe outside, then I can apply with the school. The school also has staff dormitories."

"No need, the emotions of pregnant women are changeable. I just suddenly couldn't accept it just now. You see, it's all over now. Just study hard. When you graduate this winter, I will go to the army to join the army. It's just right At that time, the child had already been several months old, and he was able to travel far away." Before Xu Zhongjun could finish speaking, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly said.

She couldn't hold Xu Zhongjun back because of her little emotions.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't need to..."

Seeing what Xu Zhongjun wanted to say, Xie Xiaonian immediately interrupted again: "Don't worry, I'm fine, and you usually live in the school dormitory, even if I go, we won't be able to see each other a few times, instead of staying there In an unfamiliar environment, I prefer to stay at home, at least I can have someone to talk to, otherwise I will be depressed. And I also want to teach Lanhua to learn medicine. I just accepted an apprentice, so I can’t just give up halfway gone."

"Well, then I will write back often, and you should tell me more about you and the child!" Seeing Xie Xiaonian's insistence, Xu Zhongjun agreed.

And Xie Xiaonian is a pregnant woman, so she can't stay out of people's sight for a long time, he usually lives in the school, if something happens, he will be in trouble if he can't arrive in time.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I should take a lunch break, you can come with me, just read to me and the baby." Xie Xiaonian said coquettishly.

"Okay, I promise I will recite the Compendium of Materia Medica more fluently today!" After speaking, Xu Zhongjun carried Xie Xiaonian into the room.

The next day, Xie Xiaonian was woken up by a burst of noise. Since she was pregnant, she has been lethargic, and she has become a lot more angry when she wakes up. She has to sleep until mid-morning every day.

"Zhongjun, what's going on, it's so noisy!" Xie Xiaonian irritably covered her head with a pillow, and shouted angrily.

"Daughter-in-law, I woke you up, wait a minute, there will be no sound in a while!" Xu Zhongjun hurried into the room to comfort him when he heard Xie Xiaonian's shout.

"What's going on, so noisy?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously when he heard the noise going away.

"It's grandma and they were sent back!" Xu Zhongjun said with a frown.

"What? I'll go and have a look!" After Xie Xiaonian finished listening, she immediately got up to join in the fun.

"What are you going to join in the fun with a child in your arms? What if it hurts you!"

"Ah, forget it." Xie Xiaonian said angrily.

However, although Xie Xiaonian didn't go out to see it, she was very curious. After lunch, she immediately went to the sister-in-law's house, after all, they had better news.

When Xie Xiaonian arrived, she found that the second sister-in-law was also there, and several people were discussing what happened in the morning.

"What's the final result of Grandma and Xiaomei's parents?" Xie Xiaonian asked as soon as she arrived in the main room.

"What else can I do? They didn't commit any serious crimes, and they have been released now." Second sister-in-law Fan Min couldn't wait to talk about what she knew.

"Yeah, I heard that Grandma Da Ya was so tormented that she couldn't walk steadily. But she is an old lady, and everyone has not dealt with it so hard. Xiaomei's parents will be miserable. She is young and strong, and everyone has no men. Be merciful, my whole body is hurt now." The sister-in-law sighed.

"Having a daughter like that should be bad luck for them. The couple will only get half of the work points when they go to work in the future. There are so many children in the family, how can they live!" Xu's mother also sighed.

"Didn't it mean that Xiaomei's parents, with the help of villagers to testify, would have a better result than Grandma? But if you look at it this way, they are worse than Grandma!" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"This is already a light result. Otherwise, you thought that the couple would come back so soon. I heard that Grandma was going to go, but she is too old, and she might not be able to do it halfway. That's why we put her back together with Xiaomei's parents."

"Yeah, I heard from others at noon that the cadres decided to split up the Da Ya's family together. Maybe the Da Ya's family is moving to the canteen of their production team now! It's not too much, but it's like this It is even more impossible for Da Ya’s family to have a good time with that big family, and after separation, they can say that their sisters and children can suffer less!” said the sister-in-law sighing.

"Yes, and I feel that Xiaomei won't stay in the village for long. The in-law's house she has arranged has been trying to hold a wedding quickly for the past two years, but Xiaomei's parents want Xiaomei to stay at home to take care of her younger siblings for a while, but they don't agree. Now I'm afraid I'm regretting why I didn't marry this daughter off sooner!"

Fan Min was smart this time. Sure enough, as she said, after less than a month, Xie Xiaomei's parents agreed to the man's request and married Xie Xiaomei. Of course, this is a later story.

Xie Xiaonian sat at the sister-in-law's house for a while, and then went to the village entrance to listen to the gossip under the big tree for a while, then hurried home to share with Xu Zhongjun.

The raging fire of gossip burning in her heart can't be extinguished no matter what, she never thought that she would have such a day of gossip.

Xu Zhongjun saw that Xie Xiaonian's small mouth kept talking non-stop, as if he had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, he smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, now big girls and the others are all separated from that family, you too Don't worry about it."

"I just hope that after the separation, the big girl's father and mother can support the whole family!"

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, Xie Xiaonian didn't stay in bed, and came early in the morning.

After waking up, Xie Xiaonian first burned some paper and incense, and after sending the gods to heaven, she began to prepare breakfast.

"Zhongjun, shall we celebrate the festival with mother and the others, or by ourselves?" Xie Xiaonian asked Xu Zhongjun after breakfast.

"Mother didn't tell me in advance to let us go there, so we can just live at home by ourselves."

"Well, that's fine, I happen to know how to make glutinous rice balls, and I'll make more glutinous rice balls in the afternoon and send some to my mother." Xu Zhongjun will leave early tomorrow morning, and Xie Xiaonian also hopes that the two of them can spend more time alone.

"We usually eat Yuanxiao here. Mother should make it in the morning. It's just the time for us to try both."

Xie Xiaonian was busy making food and packing luggage for Zhongjun in the morning because he had to make glutinous rice balls in the afternoon.

Xie Xiaonian is also planning to make some fried glutinous rice balls after the glutinous rice balls are made in the afternoon, so that Xu Zhongjun and Li Jian can eat them on the road, or let Zhongjun go to school to share with his classmates.

As for the finished beef jerky, Xie Xiaonian didn't keep it, and packed all of them, which happened to be half of each of him and Li Jian.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian started making glutinous rice balls.

She first put the peanuts and walnuts into a small pot and fried them for about 2 minutes, then peeled the peanuts, and then chopped the peanuts and walnuts with a knife.

Then put white sesame seeds in the pot, stir-fry them, add peanuts and walnut kernels, add some brown sugar and lard, stir-fry evenly, and the filling of the glutinous rice balls is ready.

After Xie Xiaonian kneaded the glutinous rice flour into a suitable dry and wet dough, she said to Xu Zhongjun who was chopping firewood in the yard: "Zhongjun, come and help me make glutinous rice balls."

"Teach me how to do it, I haven't made glutinous rice balls yet!" Xu Zhongjun sat beside Xie Xiaonian after washing his hands, and said with great interest.

"Okay, I'll teach you, but it's easy. I think I can't just give it to my mother, but also to my second sister-in-law's house. I also want to fry some for you, so we need to pack more."

But Xie Xiaonian taught Xu Zhongjun for a long time, his sword-wielding and gun-wielding hands couldn't do such delicate work at all, either he couldn't keep his mouth shut, or he lost the skin.

"Forget it, you'd better just sit and watch, it will be dark when I teach you." Xie Xiaonian gave up teaching Xu Zhongjun directly, and said helplessly.

"Hey, my hands are rather clumsy, daughter-in-law, you can pack it yourself!" Xu Zhongjun looked at the strange things he had made, and said embarrassedly.

He holds the record of dismantling and assembling guns in the entire military region, and his hands are so fast that others can't match, but I didn't expect him to encounter Waterloo today.

After Xie Xiaonian made some glutinous rice balls, he asked Xu Zhongjun to deliver some to his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law's house, and exchanged some Lantern Festival accordingly.

The elder sister-in-law’s makes black sesame stuffing, while the second sister-in-law’s makes red bean paste stuffing. It happens that the three are different, so you can taste different flavors.

There were no fireworks to set off at night, and there were only some children playing with lanterns outside, so Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun didn't go out after dinner, and enjoyed their last time at home before parting.

Because it was inconvenient for Xie Xiaonian to be pregnant, so this time, it was the elder brother Xu Zhongming who rode a bicycle to send Xu Zhongjun off.

Looking at the back that was gradually going away, although Xie Xiaonian was also a little sad, she didn't cry like last time.

And in the following time, because Lan Hua came to her to study every day, she had no time to be sad.

And the old leader in the north, because of the medicinal wine made by Xie Xiaonian, his health has also improved a lot.

Xu Zhongjun also cherishes this study time very much. He spends a full life at school every day, and everything is developing in a good direction.

But the only thing that depressed Xu Zhongjun was probably the beef jerky that Xie Xiaonian made for him this time, but the old leader directly snatched away the current food and drink, and he still didn't eat much.
