70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 397

"This is just a little bit of the children's own thoughts, and it's not something expensive. There's nothing wrong with it. What you said is too serious. They just want to do their part and don't want to take advantage of others. , just being stabbed in the back." Xie Xiaonian said sarcastically.

"My family doesn't have that much money to prepare gifts. With that money, I might as well buy one to eat at home!" Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of it, Luo Li curled her lips and said.

"Then you go to the county town to buy it, and I won't waste your time." After speaking, Xie Xiaonian took the children to the master's house.

As for what Luo Li said relentlessly later, Xie Xiaonian didn't take it to heart at all. This kind of clown is not worth worrying about at all.

"Did you talk to Loli outside just now? I seem to hear her voice, what's wrong? Did she say something sour again?" Zhu Yufang asked after entering the door.

"Isn't it because Apple had a birthday a few days ago and distributed some cakes to the children? Her children were jealous when they didn't get any, and stopped me to take advantage." Xie Xiaonian shrugged and said.

"She's like that. She just wants to get a piece of the pie when she sees something good in someone's house. Just ignore her."

"Well, I know." Xie Xiaonian continued with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Xie Xiaonian thought that he didn't go home for the New Year last year, so he asked Xu Zhongjun, "Can you have a holiday this year? Can we go home for the New Year?"

In June, Zhongjun had been recuperating for a period of time because of his injury, Xie Xiaonian was really not sure if he was still on leave.

"Yes, I haven't taken this year's vacation yet, and I have already sent a report to go home for the New Year." Xu Zhongjun said affirmatively.

"Really? That's great!" Xie Xiaonian said happily.

Compared to being in the army, Xie Xiaonian still prefers to go home for the New Year. It's great to have a lively and lively family together.

"Of course it's true. The rest of the time was due to recuperation. The vacation given by the army is not included in my vacation. I wanted to surprise you, but you asked first. But I won’t be able to take a complete vacation until the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.”

"24 is 24, as long as you don't delay going home for the New Year." Xie Xiaonian said indifferently.

"This year not only are we going home to celebrate the New Year, but the chief's family is also going home to celebrate the New Year."

"It's time for his family to go back. I heard from Shuqin's sister-in-law that they haven't gone back for two years, but Chunping's sister-in-law's house should not go back. This year, He Hongmei came to the army and made such a fuss. They definitely don't want to go back to their hometown. " Xie Xiaonian guessed.

"It's true that they won't go back, but this is just right, so that no one in our team will watch."

"Then Dabao can go back? If possible, we can go back together so that he won't be alone." Xie Xiaonian then asked.

"Dabao can't go back for the Chinese New Year, but he will have a holiday next spring, so he can go home. It doesn't matter even if he is in the army for the New Year. There are so many people in the army, and it is very lively to celebrate the New Year together. You are not alone." Xu Zhongjun comforted him.

"That's fine. Anyway, he was in the army last year, so he should be able to get used to it."

"By the way, today I received a letter from one of my former subordinates, saying that Lin Min was at the farm and committed another crime because he didn't have enough to eat." Xu Zhongjun said.

"What's the matter? Shouldn't someone watch her as a reform-through-labour prisoner? What could she do? Could it be stealing the country's food?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"How can she steal the country's food as soon as she says, she traded her body for food and was caught." Xu Zhongjun whispered to Xie Xiaonian.

"In order to get enough to eat, she really has to go all out." Xie Xiaonian said disdainfully.

But this was exactly the result she wanted, the more miserable Lin Min was, the happier she was.

"Isn't it? She doesn't change after repeated admonitions, as if she's addicted, and it's completely ruined."

"That's what she deserves. There are so many female prisoners over there. How could she do such a thing? It only shows that she is shameless, what? Do you still sympathize with her?" Xie Xiaonian glanced at Xu Zhongjun, Yin and Yang said strangely.

And she absolutely does not admit that Lin Min's actions are related to the medicine she gave. Lin Min's current situation is completely her own choice, no one forced her.

"Of course not. How could I sympathize with her? I'm not full." Xu Zhongjun hurriedly explained.

"That's good, by the way, how is her brother? Her brother has reported so many bad things to her father, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service. There should be rewards, right? Does her brother also have the credit for living like this now? " Xie Xiaonian guessed.

"That's not true. Originally, the higher-ups wanted to reward her brother, but it may be that her brother got tired of the depressing life, so he only received some monetary rewards, and went back to his hometown to farm, saying that he wanted to guard him. Grandparents live with his mother's grave, so that you can feel at ease."

"Ah, this is really a pity. If a person like her brother becomes an official, maybe he can really do something and benefit the common people. By the way, isn't her brother married? He also married her mother My niece, is this girl willing to go home and farm with him?" Xie Xiaonian said incredulously.

"When Lin Min's father was sentenced, this woman divorced her brother because she was afraid of getting involved. Fortunately, the two have no children, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"It's fine to leave, this woman is Lin Min's mother's pawn, even without Lin Min's mother, they probably wouldn't be able to become a normal couple. Now Lin Min's brother is in his thirties, but he has money. You should be able to find a wife in the countryside, and then have a few more children and live in peace and stability in your hometown, which is a good ending."

Although some people would say that it would be a little unworthy to sacrifice their own life to avenge their mother, and his mother would be unhappy watching it underground.

But when he was in that position, if he didn't want to avenge his mother and enjoy everything his father gave him with peace of mind, he would be no different from a white-eyed wolf.

On the contrary, such flesh and blood people are even more admirable.

As the saying goes, after Laba is the new year, after the family happily ate the Laba meal in the space, Xie Xiaonian packed up a bunch of New Year’s goods and asked Xu Zhongjun to send them back to his hometown, so that the family would spend money to buy them later. .

Especially things like kelp, seaweed, and dried shrimp, which cannot be bought by the supply and marketing cooperatives in my hometown.

"Mom, is this the dress you made for grandma? It's so pretty." Pancake looked at the dress embroidered with leaves in Xie Xiaonian's hand, and said enviously.

"That's right, this is for your grandma. After finishing the clothes for your grandpa, uncle, grandma, grandma, etc., mom will make them for you." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

With her current skills, there is no problem at all in simply embroidering something on the clothes.

"Really? That's great." Pancake said happily.

"Mom, why do you embroider only leaves and no flowers? Haven't you learned how to embroider?" Pancake asked suspiciously.

"I've learned it, but your grandma and the others are quite old, so it's not suitable for embroidery." Xie Xiaonian explained simply.

"Does that mean that children's clothes can have flowers? I saw that Huanhuan's clothes have flowers on them. Mom, can you make me one with flowers?" Heping asked.

"Okay, mom will embroider you a flower suitable for boys."

Xie Xiaonian felt that peace was very warm and sunny, and it was perfect to embroider sunflowers on his clothes.

And like sunflowers, chrysanthemums, leek flowers, dandelions and so on on Huanhuan's clothes, they are all often exposed to, and it is okay for children to wear them out.

"Mom, I want it too, I want it too." Pancake said not to be outdone.

"Okay, when the time comes, mom will make one for you too." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile, then lowered her head and went to work on her own.

"Xiao Nian, do you know? There are rumors outside that if you want to be friends with your child, you must give your child a gift."

When Xie Xiaonian was practicing embroidery at home that day, Chen Xiuhong said angrily after entering the door.

"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaonian now learns embroidery from her master all day long, and even has fewer gatherings with Wu Shuqin, Zhang Chunping and others. She really doesn't know what gossip is going on in the compound.

"It's not that Luo Li passed it on. She also said that you said it yourself. You still want the seven children of her family to give gifts to Heping. Don't look at how poor her family is. Who would like it?" Things from her house." Chen Xiuhong said without anger.

"Oh, so that's what happened."

"What's going on? She talked ill of you to many people, and said that your family's family style is not good. "

"Didn't I make a cake for Apple's birthday before? She knew about it and asked me why I didn't call her children when Apple celebrated her birthday. She also wanted me to give her some cakes, so that She took it home and gave it to the children. I saw her tone was very bad, so I said no more. When Apple celebrates its birthday next year, I can call some of her children, but others come to my house to celebrate Apple’s birthday. At that time, they all gave small gifts, so I asked her what she was planning to give then." Xie Xiaonian explained indifferently.

"I knew she was taking advantage of it and deliberately ruining your reputation."

"Forget it, leave her alone, anyway, what kind of person I am and what kind of person she is, everyone knows, as long as I have a clear conscience."

"But many people outside have heard what she said!" Chen Xiuhong said with some worry.

"People just want to see a joke, so they don't expose her. If I really go to reason with Luo Li, then let others see the joke. It's better to ignore it. Rumors stop at the wise. Everyone has a reputation in their hearts, so we ignore it." She's fine, this kind of person, the more you talk to her, the happier she will be."

Xie Xiaonian felt that with that time, she might as well practice her embroidery.

Just as the two were talking, Xu Zhongjun came back suddenly.

"Xiao Nian, the third grandma has passed away!"
