"I understand, little aunt."
Minjie puffed up his face for a while, then nodded.
"If you need anything, ask your grandma to send a letter to Beijing, and your uncle and aunt will mail it back to you."
Lu Miao touched his slightly longer hair and continued to say with a smile:
“Your hair is so long, let your uncle trim it for you in the afternoon. When the sun goes down, then go to the lake and give it a good rub.”
The weather is hot, and the water in the lake is warm in the afternoon.
Let Fu Jingyou take him and play with the water for a while. It will be fine.
It was like this in the afternoons for the first few days. Shi An, Ming Yi and Ming Xia also went.
In the past, Mingyi and Mingxia had to be hugged by their parents most of the time.
This time, those who can run and jump are going crazy in the fields, and they look much livelier.
Lu Miao saw this and felt that it was time to relax, take the children out or return to his hometown.
It is really necessary to have a good time.
This statement sounded like they were leaving immediately.
Minjie felt a little disparate in his heart. He sniffed and rubbed his eyes quietly while nodding his head.
It was also a coincidence that when the elders were sitting down and about to use their chopsticks, there was another movement outside the house.
Brother He and Tian Guihua came carrying things.
Lu Miao put down what she was doing and greeted him with a smile:
"Second brother and second sister-in-law are back? Come on, come inside and sit down, dinner is about to be served!"
Minjie also jumped off the table , ran up and grabbed Brother He, and pulled his biological father to the table:
"Dad, my birthday will be like this tomorrow! You and mother will prepare a table of dishes for me, I want a soda too!”
Brother He put down his things, smiled and exchanged greetings. Without really hearing what his son said, he patted his son on the head and pushed him to his mother.
Minjie pulled his mother again and jumped anxiously:
"Mom, do you hear me? I want it too!"
Tian Guihua glanced at the dishes on the table , patted his son on the head and said:
"Okay, when you turn ten tomorrow, the family will take care of it for you."
The child is one month old, one year old, or ten years old. It is a big day in the village, and it must be done in a decent manner.
Minjie obviously doesn’t know this.
But when his mother said it would be done, Minjie was very happy even though he was still two years away from turning ten.
Minjie pursed his lips and smiled happily. He had already thought about what kind of soda he would drink when the time came.
He wants orange flavor, four bottles!
When the time comes, it will be given to Sister Minmin, Shi An, Dabao Erbao and the others, and they will drink together.
Why did he miss himself?
No...
There is also younger brother Baichuan, and the uncle's younger brother...
If you think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of people left out.
Minjie giggled and scratched his head, thinking that he would need at least seven bottles of soda.
“I bumped the door lock over there when I came back. No need to ask anyone, I knew they were all over here. Come over and take a look and it’s true!”
Brother He joked cheerfully, Then he asked with a smile:
"Speaking of which, what day is it today? Why did you cook such a large table of dishes?"
"It's the boss's birthday."
Lu Miao smiled and patted Shi An on the head.
“Oh, it’s such a coincidence that we are back!”
Brother He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and immediately said:
“Shi’an, we only met during the Chinese New Year. "But, do you still know who I am?"
Shi An grinned brightly, stood on the bench and shouted:
"It's the second uncle!"
"Oh, you, the birthday boy, have such a good memory!"
The second brother He praised him, and the atmosphere at the table became more lively.
Tian Guihua helped Lu Miao take the things she brought to the room:
"I thought you wouldn't be able to stay at home for long, so I didn't buy brown sugar or anything like that. I bought some canned fruits. , open it later and feed it to the children, don’t dislike it...” “Don’t say that, second sister-in-law, canned food is much more expensive than brown sugar.”
Times are slowly progressing. In the past, brown sugar was a must-have for door-to-door gifts.
Nowadays, canned fruits are slowly becoming mainstream.
After putting the things away, Lu Miao picked up two chairs and walked to the table with Tian Guihua talking and laughing.
The house was already lively, and it became even more lively as soon as Brother He and Tian Guihua came back.
On the big table, the adults poured two ounces of wine.
On the small table, the children had their mouths filled with sweet soda and pumpkin pie, chattering to themselves, overjoyed.
Lu Miao and the others occasionally come back during the Spring Festival, and sometimes they don’t.
He Er Ge was afraid that they would not come back this year, so this time the coal plant had a single day off on Sunday, and the couple even asked for an extra day off.
I just want to come back and keep in touch with my brothers.
Don't miss it this time, or you won't be able to see her for a year and a half.
He Er Ge and Tian Osmanthus rested in the village at night.
Lu Miao did not let them go back to clean up.
The old couple here helped clean up before, and the beds on both sides are also newly made.
The children are too young to sleep alone, so these days they make do with a small bed in their room.
You can sleep on the bed in the second room over there with a mat.
There was no mat here. After the meal, the men drank and chatted at the table. Tian Guihua and Chen Guifen went back to He's house and brought over a clean old mat.
Fu Jingyou and He Er Ge are not real brothers, but they are better than real brothers.
The two of them ate and drank. When they drank too much in the afternoon, they spread out on the beds in the two rooms and rested, without saying anything.
Chen Guifen helped with the chores.
Tian Guihua helped Lu Miao wash the children's clothes in the backyard.
With people in front of him, Lu Miao couldn't help but talk to the child's father. He glanced at the direction behind the kitchen and directly asked Tian Guihua in a low voice:
"How is the eldest brother's family? Are you happy during the New Year?" Not back?”
“I came back on the first day of the new year and stayed at Zhao’s house for a night before leaving.”
< br>
"No."
Tian Guihua shook her head, pursed her lips and said:
"Things are different, and you may not be able to talk about filial piety when you are busy."
These words sound mixed in praise and criticism, but in fact they are all ridicules.
“Filial piety comes first among all virtues”, a traditional saying is enough to emphasize the status of filial piety in the hearts of Chinese people.
Let alone the 1980s.
Even in the next twenty, thirty, or forty years, it will be a big problem if the children are not filial.
If the old couple treats their children badly and behaves in a biased manner, then it’s okay for Brother He to ignore his filial piety.
But the old couple did nothing to treat Brother He badly. On the contrary, Brother He has always been quite critical of his behavior in taking care of the young and old.
Now that we have reached this point, we are really not afraid of having people poke our backs.
Lu Miao was speechless for a moment. Tian Guihua looked at her expression and continued:
"You want to ask Minmin about that child, right?"
Lu Miao was stunned and nodded lightly.
“I went over to see your second brother when he was celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. That kid has a hard life. He used to be able to attend a red education class in the team, but now he can’t go to school.”
< br>Tian Guihua stretched out her small clothes and hung them on the clothesline. She held the clothesline high with one hand and put her other hand on her waist.
He sighed, and suddenly became filled with righteous indignation:
"With the open policy, we don't pay attention to defeating the landlords. I think it is because of this that Zhao Lanxiang became more powerful. She showed off her power at home just like the landlord's mother-in-law. Minmin is. The mules and horses she beat and scolded! "(End of Chapter)
