Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Xiaoyue hugged Beta and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of Beta and not urinate anywhere."

It's weird if you can control it. Shen Xiaojun found a plastic bag and put it on Beta, leaving only his front legs and head exposed.

"That's what works."

Then he said to Xiaowei, "You are the one who wants to take Beta with you. You will be responsible for taking care of it in the next few days. Can you do it?"

Xiaowei nodded, "I can, mom, don't worry."

Xiaoyue also nodded, she will help her sister!

It is more comfortable for the whole family to take a car back to their hometown than to squeeze into a bus.

Nowadays, there are not as many regulations on taking passenger cars as there will be in the future. It is impossible not to overload. When the Chinese New Year comes, the cars are packed to the brim, just like the crowded buses during rush hours in later generations.

When we almost reached the place, the car drove and stopped for a while, and people kept getting off and on in the second half of the way. The air in the car was bad, the smell of gasoline was strong, and the frequent stops made even Shen Xiaojun, who didn't get motion sickness, feel dizzy. Let alone children, one ride in the car will make them miserable for most of the day.

Children love to doze off when riding in a car. As soon as the excitement wore off, Xiaowei and Xiaoyue fell asleep, half-lying down in the back seat with their legs bent.

Shen Xiaojun asked Lin Zhe to bring a small blanket specially brought for Yaoyao to cover them.

By the time the car entered the village, it was almost dark.

Seeing a car driving into the village, someone came over to look at it, and Lin Zhe said hello to them.

"Hey! Is it Lin Zhe? Why did you come back at this time? Is this your car?"

Lin Zhe asked the driver to stop for a moment without getting out of the car. He handed over a cigarette and went out, "No, I don't have that ability. This is my car. Let's talk later. I have to go home. My parents are waiting for me to eat." It’s New Year’s Eve dinner!”

"Okay, let's talk later."

Xiaowei Xiaoyue in the back row was worried by the voice. She rubbed her eyes and sat up and looked outside: "It's dark! Mom, we're here."

"We're here, put on your shoes quickly, we're getting ready to get off."

The car stopped at a good place to reverse, and the family got out of the car. Lin Zhe paid for the fare.

Here, Lin Lan and Lin Ning's children had already ran over from home.

"Lin Wei, Lin Yue, you are back!"

Lin Ting followed behind and helped hug Yaoyao as soon as he came up.

Shen Xiaojun handed the child to her, and she and Lin Zhe picked up their things and headed home.

Xiaowei Xiaoyue has already run home holding the two sisters Beta and Lin Lan Lin Ning.

At the door of the house, the couplets have been replaced with new ones, the word "Fu" is pasted on the door, and there are scraps of paper left over from the firecrackers in the yard.

Seeing them entering, Lin Chengcai squinted his eyes and smiled: "We're back! Come in quickly and warm yourself by the fire, don't let my eldest grandson get cold."

Lin Ting hugged Yaoyao and sat next to her grandfather. Yaoyao didn't know if she recognized that this was the grandfather who pushed him out to play every day, and stretched out her hand for him to hug.

Lin Chengcai quickly reached out and hugged him, "Oh, my eldest grandson! I know he kissed grandpa."

At this time, Sun Hui walked out of the kitchen, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "The youngest family will enjoy the blessing, and we can eat ready-made food when we come back."

This just doesn't sound right to my ears.

Shen Xiaojun twitched the corners of his lips and said softly, "Who told us that we have two good sisters-in-law! We will definitely enjoy a lifetime of blessings."

Yuan Fenfang poked her head out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up and help your good sister-in-law set the dishes, dinner will be served soon!"

Shen Xiaojun rolled up his sleeves and said, "Here you go."

Zhang Simin was cutting sausages in the kitchen. When he saw her coming in, he handed a piece to her mouth and said, "How about the taste of this year's cooking?"

Shen Xiaojun opened his mouth to eat and nodded, "It's delicious, Mom. The sausage you made is delicious!"

Zhang Simin laughed: "As long as it tastes good, I poured ten kilograms of it for you and your family, and here it is, hanging on the chimney for smoking."

Shen Xiaojun looked up and saw that there were many sausages hanging densely on the chimney. There was also a bamboo basket hanging on the top of the stove, with pieces of tofu in it. They were dried dried beans that every household in the village smoked to go with wine.

Sun Hui stuffed a handful of straw into the stove, "My family didn't do anything this year, so I asked my mother to help smoke thirty or forty pounds of bacon. I didn't make any money this year, so I can't afford it!"

Yuan Fenfang told her to be less angry, "Those who celebrate the New Year are not happy to be called poor. Didn't I just hear from my second brother that I will take over a house and start construction next year? Once this work is done, won't the money come? This life is going to be more and more complicated every year. Have a good year!”

Zhang Simin felt happy when she heard this. She didn't like to hear the second daughter-in-law talk. She didn't have anything nice to say when she opened her mouth, and it was easy to offend people!

In the main room, Lin Zhe and his brothers were also chatting, mainly listening to what Lin Xu was talking about.

I don't know if it was because he didn't borrow money last time, but Lin Xu didn't pay much attention to Lin Zhe and only talked to Lin Rui.

"...My friends are still very loyal. They helped me contact the lumber factory that wholesales wood. I had drinks with the owner of the lumber factory a few times and they directly gave me the goods on credit."

"...Building houses in the countryside is no longer the same as before. They are all cast-in-situ construction. Boards cannot be used and are prone to leaks... My house was built a year or two earlier. If I had known, I would have cast-in-situ construction."

He couldn't afford to pay attention to him, so Lin Zhe didn't go up to answer the conversation. While warming himself by the fire, he peeled peanuts and ate them, and occasionally teased the son in his father's arms.

Among the younger generation, only Yaoyao could be embraced like this by Lin Chengcai.

Lin Chengcai didn't care about sons when he was in his generation, because after giving birth to a daughter, he gave birth to three sons in succession.

It's also strange when it comes to grandchildren. Of the three brothers, all the children born before them were daughters.

The eldest son is a public servant and can only have one child, so he has nothing to think about in his life.

After the second child gave birth to one child, he secretly gave birth to another child, a daughter.

The youngest also gave birth to two daughters in a row. I originally thought that they would not have any more, but unexpectedly, the youngest's wife became pregnant with another one, secretly gave birth to a son, and finally gave birth to a son.

The moment his grandson was born, Lin Chengcai's heart finally fell to the ground.

It can't be said that he doesn't like his granddaughter, but in comparison, he cherishes his grandson even more.

The grandson was held in his arms, and several granddaughters were sitting by the TV watching TV, with Beta surrounding their feet.

This TV was the one Shen Xiaojun asked the old couple to move back last time they went to the city.

Even after they moved back, the old couple seldom turned on the power, for fear of wasting electricity. They turned it on occasionally, fearing that it would break down if left unused for a long time.

Only when the children are back will this TV really come in handy.

Including Lin Ting, the eldest sister, the five girls gathered around the TV. Only three children were wearing new clothes. The two sisters Lin Lan and Lin Ning were still wearing their old clothes.

Lin Ning touched the fur on Xiaoyue's hat with envy, "Your clothes are so beautiful!"

Xiaoyue spit out the melon seed skin she was chewing, "Why don't you and Sister Lanlan wear new clothes?"

Lin Ning, who is the same age as Xiao Yue, pouted, "Mom didn't buy it for us."

Xiao Yue was shocked. Don’t we all have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year?

She was too young to remember that, and it was only this year that she had so many new clothes. In previous years, almost all of them were bought from her sisters and cousins.
