70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 405

When Xie Xiaonian rode his bicycle to pick up the green onions at the sister-in-law's house, he just opened the door of the main room when he saw Lan Hua came back, hugging the green onions on the kang.

"Auntie, it's great that you're back. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you."

Lan Hua put the green onion in her mother's arms, got out of bed happily, dragged her cotton shoes and ran towards Xie Xiaonian.

Then I saw her happily grabbing Xie Xiaonian's sleeve, shaking it from side to side, like a child.

"They're all from in-laws' families. If they're still like this, they really won't grow up, and I'm not afraid that your aunt will laugh at you." Mother Xu said with a smile.

"Our orchids are so innocent and cute. I like orchids like this. When did you come back?" Xie Xiaonian said, holding Lanhua's hand and walking towards the kang.

"I came back in the morning!" When she replied, Lan Hua blushed immediately with embarrassment.

"What's the matter? There's something wrong!"

Seeing everyone's expressions are very happy, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so Xie Xiaonian asked jokingly.

"Isn't there something wrong? Our Lanhua is going to get married soon." Mother Xu said happily.

"A date has been set?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"Not yet, Lanhua came back today to tell us that Baoguo's parents want to come to our house to ask for a daughter-in-law on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month." Li Suxin explained.

On their side, to have a daughter-in-law is to set a wedding date.

"It seems that you agree to give it?"

"The two children have been engaged for so long, and it's time to get married. Besides, Lanhua is 19 after Chinese New Year, and Baoguo is 21. He has only one son in his family, and he is eager to have a grandson. Now the county hospital is short of manpower. Both of them have already applied to be transferred to the county, and if it goes well, they will be able to go to work in the county around March of the new year. Getting married early will save us from worrying about Lanhua being wronged outside alone. " Li Suxin continued.

"Go to work in the county hospital? It's a good thing. Did you ask someone to watch it before the wedding day?"

Xie Xiaonian was very happy for Lanhua to go to work in the county hospital.

"We're looking at May 5 next year. We'll have to wait for Baoguo's parents to discuss the details. You'll come over then, and we'll give advice together." Mother Xu continued.

"What do you want me to do as a daughter-in-law? It's fine if you, my father, and elder brother and sister-in-law are at home. If you don't need me, I'd better not come and meddle." Xie Xiaonian refused.

"Auntie, why don't you come? You are my master." Lan Hua said reluctantly, not caring about being shy.

"It's fine if you have me as a master in your heart, but it's not suitable for me to be a daughter-in-law. When you get married, if you don't tell me, I will definitely go. And the new year's goods at home are not ready yet. On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month I have to go to the market in the morning." Xie Xiaonian refused again.

"Alright then." Lan Hua said with some disappointment.

"Are you coming back this time, are you going to stay at home for a few days?" Lan Hua is also busy at the hospital, and if she is usually on vacation, it will not exceed three days at most, so Xie Xiaonian asked.

"I came back from leave today, and I have to leave later, but we have a holiday on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month this year, and I can come back then."

Getting a daughter-in-law is a matter for both parents and elders to discuss, and has nothing to do with the two parties, so Lanhua doesn't have to come back that day.

"That's just right, your uncle also came back on 25 and arrived home on 26. Then we can go to the county to pick up your uncle, and we can go shopping in the county and do some shopping." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm usually busy with work, so I haven't been to the county for a long time." Lan Hua immediately agreed happily when she heard that she could go shopping.

No matter what age, women love to go shopping.

In the winter, Xie Xiaonian really likes to sleep late, and Xu's mother, who knew Xiao Nian's habit, didn't call her when she woke up the next morning.

When Xie Xiaonian was about to get up in a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name outside.

When she got up and walked to the yard, she saw her mother-in-law happily coming in with an envelope.

"Xiao Nian, hurry up, the letter from the Zhongjun. You just came back from the army a few days ago, so why did the letter arrive? It seems that the Zhongjun wrote to you as soon as you came back." Mother Xu handed the letter to Xiao Nian. After reading it, he said with a smile.

"It should be written by the two children. When I came back, the two children insisted on following, so I told them that they could write to me often, so I reluctantly persuaded them." Xie Xiaonian guessed.

"Really, then I want to see what kind of letter my eldest grandson wrote to me!" Mother Xu moved closer to Xie Xiaonian, wanting to read it together.

Xie Xiaonian was also a little curious, so she opened the envelope immediately.

I saw a thick stack of letter paper inside. In addition to the words written by Zhongjun for Pancake and Heping, which was full of words about missing her, there were also two pictures drawn by the two brothers.

One is a pancake painting, on which a child looks at the back of another woman and cries, which means that he misses his mother very much and cries all he wants.

The other one was drawn by Heping. In order not to worry about his mother, he drew a scene of him playing happily with his father and younger brother, and told his mother not to worry about them.

"These two children are really interesting." Xu's mother looked at the two paintings over and over again, and said amusedly.

"Yeah, both of them are little ghosts." Xie Xiaonian said with relief and worry.

"Then do you want to reply to them? The postman just delivered the letter to another place, and he probably hasn't gone far. Then let him take it to the post office for you directly, so as to save you a trip." Mother Xu asked.

"Don't worry, Zhongjun and the others will be back at 25. Don't believe that they have already returned before they arrive. Zhongjun often helps take care of the children when he usually rests. He can definitely bring the pancakes and apples." Xie Xiaonian Said confidently.

"What you said makes sense. By the way, just now the postman said that there is still a package from your elder brother. Has the New Year's goods you sent to your family arrived?" Mother Xu asked again.

"It should be that New Year's goods travel slower than letters on the road. Although the delivery time is earlier, it is possible to arrive on the same day." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

"Then I'll let your sister-in-law go to the commune to get it."

After finishing speaking, Mother Xu hurried home.

"Xiao Nian, why did you send so many things, how much does it cost!"

At around 11 o'clock, Li Suxin pushed the bicycle into the yard, and complained to Xie Xiaonian.

"Not much, sister-in-law, just take the things home. I sent them to you and the second brother's house. You can just distribute some to the second brother's house when you go back and look."

Although Xie Xiaonian and Fan Min didn't deal with it very much, Zhongjun and Second Brother were brothers after all, and she couldn't do too much if she looked down and didn't see her up.

"So much, how can our two families divide it up? I'd better share some with you, and you can take some to your uncle's and natal family." Li Suxin refused.

"My uncle's share, I sent it directly to their village, let's forget about my natal family, so as to save trouble. I also keep a lot of it myself, and I will bring it back when the loyal army comes back in a few days. We don't live long at home, and we can't finish eating too much. These things are better preserved, so you can keep them and eat slowly, since they are sent to you, I definitely won't take them." Xie Xiaonian directly refused .

In the end, seeing that Xiao Nian really didn't want it, Li Su could only push the sack that hadn't been unloaded from the bicycle and went home.

As for how much to distribute to the second family, it is up to her mother to make the decision. If the amount saved is more or less, the second family will get angry with her again.

And Zhuzhu also received what Xiao Nian sent, but she kept the third grandma's share and returned it to her when she saw Xiao Nian.

It's been several days since Xie Xiaonian came back, and Xie Xiaonian didn't even have time to visit his uncle's house, so the next day, after Xie Xiaonian had breakfast, he took the two big roosters caught by his sister-in-law to his uncle's house.

"I thought you should come in these two days. This is chopped green onion. It looks so cute. Come, let me give you a hug."

When Sun Feng saw Xie Xiaonian coming, a smile immediately filled his face, and then he untied the chopped green onion from Xie Xiaonian's arms.

As for the two big roosters tied in the back basket of the bicycle, Sun Feng was not polite, and directly let Xie Xiaonian push it into the yard. Anyway, Xiaonian could get a lot of good things every time he came, so she was not surprised.

"Elder sister, have you received the things I sent you?" Xie Xiaonian asked after entering the room after greeting the others.

"Got it, people from the post office came to notify you this morning. Your eldest cousin has already gone to the commune to pick it up. Don't keep sending things here. Let your in-laws know. It's not good." Sun Feng instructed.

"It's okay, the things I sent were all approved by Zhongjun, and he even told me to send more, and my husband's family also has them, and they can't pick a reason." Xie Xiaonian comforted.

"I knew that Zhongjun's child was a good one, but you can't do too much with that. You still have to focus on your husband's family, so as not to get angry."

Seeing Zhongjun being so filial and thinking of them in everything, Sun Feng was very happy.

"It's not easy for you to come back once, take a chicken and go to your elder sister's house to see later, after all, it's a village, it's not good to just come to us and not to her." The uncle said aloud.

"Let's go another day. I caught two chickens from my sister-in-law today. If I send another one over, there will be nothing left for the family." Xie Xiaonian said with some resistance.

This time she came back in a hurry and didn't bring anything, so she couldn't hide it. She brought big and small bags to this side, only two chickens, which were not enough for them to eat, and it would be impossible to take another one away.

"We are all from our own family, it doesn't matter if we eat or not, but we can't give your elder sister a chance to pick things up." Sun Feng said disapprovingly.

"Okay then, I'll go there later." Xie Xiaonian said with some reluctance.

Although Elder Sister Zhongjun treats her well, to her, she is still the closest relative to her uncle's family.
