Chapter 60 Erxiang
Lu Zhanbei just looked at his little wife like this, she was still a little girl, still young, and she had to wait for her to grow up, and then she would grow up... What exactly did she think? Hurry up and pull her thoughts back and continue to look at her beautiful lady.
This journey lasted for more than half an hour, but it took Lin Xiaowan and his sisters two hours to arrive.
When we arrived at Xiawa Village, we walked along the avenue and walked straight forward. The fifth family was Lin Erxiang's family. There were not many people in their village, and there were only more than 30 households in total. We could see the edge at a glance.
When they arrived at their doorstep, they saw their little cousin Cheng Xiaohong playing with a few children at the door. Xiaohong is only five years old this year and is less than the age of school.
At this time, there was nothing new in the village and I didn’t know much about the outside world. Many children had never been to the village. The farthest possible was to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in Linxi Village. So at this time, people who were dressed like Lin Xiaowan and Lu Zhanbei were surrounded and looked around.
Several children had patches on their clothes, their little faces were all black and dirty. They were playing with dirt just now, and their little hands were also buried, but the children's eyes were all bright and they looked at them with curiosity.
At this time, Cheng Xiaohong saw that Lin Anyong and Lin Xiao were early: "Second uncle? Sister Xiaozao." She ran to Lin Anyong and said to the children: "This is my second uncle and Sister Xiaozao." The little girl kept showing off like a few children around her, and she was her relative.
Lin Anyong pulled his niece over and asked, "Is your mother at home?"
Cheng Xiaohong nodded: "It's at home, my father is not at home, so he's going to the countryside." While she was still talking, she looked at Lin Xiaowan and Lu Zhanbei curiously.
Lin Xiaowan touched Cheng Xiaohong's little face: "I am your eldest sister Xiaowan, this is your eldest brother-in-law."
Cheng Xiaohong whispered to Lin Xiaowan and Lu Zhanbei and called Xiaowan sister and brother-in-law Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan took the paper bag containing candy from Lu Zhanbei and opened it, took out a handful of candy and put it in Chen Xiaohong's hand: "Eat with the children."
Chen Xiaohong looked at so much sugar and was a little reluctant to let it go, but the eldest sister said it but couldn't help but give it, so she was very confused.
The children looked at the candy in Cheng Xiaohong's hands. When they heard Lin Xiaowan say it to them, they all looked at them.
Lin Xiaowan patted Cheng Xiaohong's head: "Good things should be shared with children. Children will share them with you when they have good things. Besides, there are a lot of them, and there are snacks, enough for you to eat."
After hearing Lin Xiaowan's words, Cheng Xiaohong nodded and smiled, then gave each of the children around her a candy, put the rest in her pocket, and covered it with her hands, for fear of falling off.
Seeing that the children had the candy, Lin Anyong took them into the yard.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, Lin Erxiang heard a sound. How could he be unhappy when he saw Lin Anyong coming? This second brother was thinking about him in his mother's family.
She hurried forward: "Second brother is here." After that, she looked at Lin Xiaowan and Lin Xiaozao: "Xiaowanxiao has all come here today." Then she looked at Lu Zhanbei. She had never seen this before, because Lin Xiaowan had never held a wedding here, so Lin Erxiang had never seen it before.
Lin Xiaowan smiled and said to Lin Erxiang: "My sister-in-law, this is Lu Zhanbei. My husband, we delayed going back to the door if we have something to do. We only came back yesterday. Let's come to see my sister-in-law."
Lin Erxiang looked at Lin Xiaowan who became a little reluctant to recognize him, and she was happy for her brother. She had told Lin Xiaowan a lot before that her brother and sister-in-law were good people and should not listen to others' nonsense, but this child did not believe it.
Now seeing Lin Xiaowan change, at least the child is looking at his relatives, can he be unhappy: "Xiaowan? Xiaowan's son-in-law, hurry up and enter the house. You see, you don't know if you are here, I haven't cleaned up."
Lin Anyong smiled and said, "What's the matter with this kid? My brother-in-law isn't at home?"
Lin Erxiang sighed: "I'm not at home, I'm going out to drink again, and I don't know when I will come back."
Lin Anyong was also worried about his sister: "You should spoil him, don't always let him go out."
"How can I control myself? My mother can't control him." Lin Erxiang said, leading them into the house.
Their family is a small tiled house. Because Cheng Qingdong worked in the village brigade of Linxi Village a few years ago and had a salary, his family lived well, and the house was built at that time.
They all entered the east room, and the old Mrs. Cheng in the room also greeted the door: "Her second brother is here, hurry up and sit in the room."
Lin Anyong called out to old Mrs. Cheng, and Lin Xiaowan and the others called out to Grandma Cheng, and they all went into the house.
The east house of their house is not small, with the south being the anti-Japanese, and the north being a large square table against the window. There are two Taishi chairs beside the table, and a large station cabinet against the east being the house. The room is quite bright.
Lu Zhanbei placed the east and west on the table and sat down with Lin Anyong on both sides of the table.
Lin Xiaowan and Lin Xiaozao sat along the edge of the kang with Old Lady Cheng.
Lin Erxiang went out to soak the gum water for them. At this time, not everyone had tea, so the guests came, which made it feel a bit like soaking some sugar water.
Cheng Xiaohong stood beside Lin Anyong. She was quite close to her second uncle, but she was a little afraid of Lin Xiaowan and Lu Zhanbei because she always felt that she didn't look like someone she had met, which was a bit strange.
Lin Anyong looked at Old Mrs. Cheng and said politely: "Auntie is still quite hard?"
Old Mrs. Cheng waved her hand: "Not even more. My son is not good at all. My heart is not good after being angry. Her hair is white. Erxiang is also suffering. How can I not be angry?"
Lin Xiaowan knew that my sister-in-law's mother-in-law was really a sensible old lady, but my sister-in-law was not good at it.
Lin Anyong was also angry when he heard this, but he was a little comforted. After all, his sister's mother-in-law was still good, but she was her husband who spent her whole life and was also worried about her.
But I can't say that his son is not in front of the old lady, I can only say: "I don't worry if my aunt feels so sorry for Erka."
At this time, Lin Erxiang came in with sugar water, put a cup in front of them, and then said to Cheng Xiaohong: "Hong, go and bring the soda and grapes for your second uncle and sister."
Cheng Xiaohong hurried to get it with her short legs.
Lin Erxiang also sat on the edge of the kang: "Second brother, don't worry about me. Qingdong is very nice to me, and he is also mentally unhappy. It will be fine when he accepts the work and is gone."
Lin Anyong nodded: "Well, you should take care of your brother-in-law's heart."
Lin Erxiang agreed: "I know brother."
Lin Xiaowan knew that Cheng Qingdong had not started domestic violence yet, so he was not easy to say, otherwise others would feel sick?
After a while, Cheng Xiaohong came in with a pot of soybean pears, put them on the table and then went out to bring a pot of grapes. He didn't say anything after putting them down, but he still looked at them, his eyes full of curiosity.
Lin Erxiang said to Cheng Xiaohong: "Hong, why are you rude? What did you say? Can you look at people that much?"
Cheng Xiaohong shook her head and whispered: "Sister Xiaowan looks like she is from a calendar, not like she is real."
