Su Yuncheng was always extra careful when it came to Lin Nianhe's body. Even if she just opened a door, she had to put on her military coat.
He was terribly afraid that she would get sick from a gust of wind.
Lin Nianhe had long been accustomed to Su Yuncheng's thoughtfulness. He wrapped his coat and stepped aside: "Aunt Yu, please come in and sit for a while."
The two of them were natural and comfortable, but Yu's mother was not used to it. She quickly said: "No, no, no, I still have a lot of work to do. I'll give you some food. You guys should go back to the house quickly!"
After saying that, she handed Lin Nianhe the oil paper bag, waved her hand to close the door, and turned around to leave in a daze.
Back in the front yard, she couldn't help but ask Yu Xiangqin: "Hey, Lin Zhiqing and Xiao Su are not married, right? Are they living together now?"
"What?" Yu Xiangqin glanced at Yu's mother in confusion, "Lin Nianhe's small kang room is too crowded for her to live by herself, so how can they live together?"
"Then let's see what they do..." Yu Ma hesitated.
"Stop imagining things and taking care of everything. Why are you acting like Aunt Wang from our neighborhood committee?" Yu Xiangqin curled her lips, "The two of us grew up together. Maybe they were already engaged. Now...you have time to worry about other people’s affairs, can you mind me first?”
Yu's mother was choked and speechless. She stared and muttered something in a low voice, but Yu Xiangqin didn't hear it clearly.
That night, Yu Ma and Yu Xiangqin were lying side by side on the kang, listening to the whistling wind outside the window and the distant howling of wolves. Yu Ma's tears suddenly fell. She stretched out her hand and reached into Yu Xiangqin's quilt.
She still remembers that when Xiangqin was born, she was as thin as a little monkey but cried very loudly. Her grandmother always said that the child was here to repay her kindness and to be easy to feed.
This kid is indeed here to repay the favor.
When she was a child, she was worried. Other people's children would wake up in three or two hours, but she could sleep until dawn. She didn't cry when she woke up, and just looked at her with big eyes. Later, when she grew up, her penis fell to the ground, and she was a little boy. She stepped on the bench to change his brother's diaper...
Later, the third child also grew up. She took her two younger brothers and sent the younger one to the Yuhong class first, and then went to school with the second child. The third child ate in the Yuhong class at noon, and she had to do it when she got home. Meals for the siblings.
and after? Later, when she graduated from high school and couldn't find a job at home, Yu's mother thought that if that didn't work, she would step down and let her daughter take over. But she was still hesitant, so she went to the Educated Youth Office and signed up herself.
Yu Xiangqin was originally going to the Mongolian Provincial Corps. It happened that a child from their street had just had an accident in the Corps. When roping a horse, he failed to sit firmly and was dragged to death by the horse... How could Yu's mother dare to let Yu Xiangqin go again? Go to the Corps? Begging grandpa to tell grandma that she was an educated youth who jumped in line.
Yu Ma's tears fell down. When she thought about marrying off her daughter tomorrow, she felt so bad... The one she felt most sorry for was this eldest daughter, ever since she was little.
When Yu's mother got married more than 20 years ago, her mother did the same thing that night. She held her hand and the two of them talked all night long. Only now does she know how her mother felt back then.
she……
"Hey mom, what are you touching?"
Yu Xiangqin suddenly jumped up from the kang, waving her hands, her voice full of confusion as if she had just woken up: "Oh my God, I thought a snake got into the bed! It scared me to death!"
Yu’s mother: “…”
In the darkness, Yu Ma rolled her misty eyes at her, then turned her back and said "sleep" through gritted teeth, closing her eyes angrily.
The next day, people woke up before dawn.
Yu's mother's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She was sitting on the edge of the kang, showing no energy.
"Auntie, come quickly," Wen Qingqing approached her with great discernment, holding Yu's arm and helping her find something to do, "You have to accompany me to pick up uncle. It's not dawn yet. , The roads in the village are not good, and my uncle probably doesn’t have a flashlight there, so let’s go pick it up.”
"Hey..." Yu's mother looked at Yu Xiangqin and didn't want to leave, "I'd better comb Xiangqin's hair."
"Come on, why did you comb my hair when I was a kid and it didn't make my brain hurt?" Yu Xiangqin refused directly and waved her hand towards Wen Qingqing, signaling her to hurry up.
Mother Yu leaves.
Yu Ma glared at her, put on her coat and left with Wen Qingqing.
After Yu's mother left, Yu Xiangqin breathed a sigh of relief.
She poked her head to see Yu's mother, but the glass was covered with plastic sheeting and it was so dark outside that she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Sister Xiangqin, why did you let Aunt Yu leave when you feel uncomfortable? She's not happy either." Lin Nianhe said softly.
"Alas... you don't know my mother. If I say soft words to her, she will cry until this time next year." Yu Xiangqin lowered her eyes and combed her hair, "My second brother went to the Corps two years ago and gave my mother that morning I peeled an egg, and from the time he came to now, my mother misses my second brother whenever she sees the egg."
Lin Nianhe silently took the comb from her hand and helped her comb her hair.
"Speaking of my second brother... I was actually quite annoyed with him in the past. If it weren't for him, how could I have done so much work before? Well... I don't know what happened to him in the Corps. My mother gave him another gift yesterday. My one hundred yuan was given to me by my second brother. Over the years, he has sent twenty-five yuan to his family as a monthly allowance and kept ten yuan for himself. It is estimated that this hundred yuan is all he has saved in the past two years. .”
"That kid is real... The corps over there is different from the one here in Beidahuang. The main job of the educated youth in our corps is to herd cattle, sheep, and raise horses. You don't know, the grassland over there is huge. You can't even see the edge at a glance... Tell me, how can he raise a horse? If there are hundreds of horses running, if a person falls, he will be trampled to death, and there is no way to save him..."
"I told him at the beginning that he wouldn't be allowed to go. He could just jump in the queue like me. He said that jumping in the queue as an educated youth was just an empty trick. I don't know him yet? He just doesn't want to earn work points, he just wants to earn wages..."
Yu Xiangqin rambled, Lin Nianhe listened silently, tied up her hair, and put on the red head flower that Aunt Zhao helped make for her.
Wang Xue came in holding a handkerchief with several thin charcoal strips inside.
She tugged at Yu Xiangqin and said, "Okay, on this big day, think about your husband and stop thinking about your brother."
She pulled Yu Xiangqin's chin over, picked up the charcoal strips and said, "Don't move, I'll draw your eyebrows."
Yu Xiangqin stopped moving and shut up, but her eyes rolled around, as if she was asking Wang Xue whether he had music or not.
Wang Xue is quite reliable, and she painted Yu Xiangqin's eyebrows in just a few clicks.
Yu Xiangqin took a look in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
She took a piece of red paper, licked her lips and then dyed her lips red with the floating color on the red paper.
The person in the mirror looks much better than usual.
Yu Xiangqin looked at it for a while, put down the mirror, turned around and took the hands of Wang Xue and Miao Hongqi, pretending to be relaxed and said: "From now on, you two will enjoy happiness, no one will squeeze with you two...from now on..."
"Remember to come and see me when you are fine in the future... After all, we have lived in the same house for so many years. You must not forget me..."
