The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Grandma Xu muttered: "Didn't I ask you to come to my place for lunch? I was planning to buy fish. What? Do you look down on grandma's cooking?"

Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I want grandma to try the skills my granddaughter learned from the master chef. My parents both say that the food I cook is delicious! It has already caught up with my mother's skills."

The old lady scolded: "How dare those masters teach you the skills of housekeeping? Your parents treated you like a sore eye when you were a child, and they must have deliberately made you happy."

But I was very happy in my heart.

No, after Xu Yin left, she took out the bedding that had not been soaked in the sun yesterday and dried it again, then locked the courtyard door and walked all the way to her son's house.

Along the way, she met some old ladies from the neighborhood. Without waiting for anyone to ask, she took the initiative and said: "Yin Yin from the second family has been working in a state-owned hotel for less than two months. She said that she has learned the skills of a master chef and insists on inviting me." Let’s try her cooking. What’s more, she came to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought a piece of pork belly. This prodigal child really doesn’t know how expensive food and rice are. She spent the two kilograms of meat stamps issued by her work unit at once. "

The tone seems to be complaining, but in fact, who can't tell that he is showing off?
"Sister, just be content!"

"That's right! When your Yinyin goes to work, she still knows how to carry long and short things home and buy this and that. Our little girl is no different between working and not working. She still has a mouth. When she gets home, she is thinking about what she will eat today and her salary. I can’t see a penny and I don’t know where it’s been spent.”

"What else can we spend on, other than the clothes on our bodies, the shoes on our feet, the cream on our faces, and the snacks in our mouths? Today's young people are not as pragmatic as we were back then. We just worked hard. "

The old lady listened to it all the way, trying hard to keep the corners of her mouth from grinning to the base of her ears.

But when I arrived downstairs at Tongzilou, where my two sons lived, my mood was not as wonderful as before.

Because she met her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Mom, why are you here? Is there any information on Wenwen's whereabouts?"

The old lady had a serious face: "You, the mother, don't know the whereabouts of your daughter, what can I, the grandmother, know?"

"Then why are you here..."

"I went to my second son's house, and Yinyin bought two kilograms of pork belly. She insisted on making me an authentic pork belly dish that she learned from the master chef of a state-owned restaurant."

"..."

Xiao Chunmei twitched her lips. Is there too many meat tickets next door and no place to use them?Buy meat for the old lady to eat?What do you think?

"Oh, that's right!" The old lady took two steps upstairs. She didn't know what she thought of, but turned to her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "I heard from Taohua that my poor little grandson has something to look forward to. Either she or the second child has been there recently." I plan to take a few days off to go to Nancheng to search hard. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after leaving for ten and a half days. You and the boss will live next door. We will see if there is anything we can do to help. After all, we are brothers. Looking for someone. I can’t count on you, so I won’t be able to count on anyone else to help.”

Xiao Chunmei was so shocked that her jaw dropped to the ground: "Has the second son's son been found?"

"What's the second son's son? That's your nephew!" The old lady gave her a dissatisfied look.

"..."

Xiao Chunmei didn't listen at all. She suddenly realized that the second child's family seemed to be getting better and better.

The daughter became a regular worker in a state-owned hotel.

My son who had been missing for 20 years was found!

The pride of having two children before was no longer a unique pride at this moment.

And looking at my own home, my son found a partner in the countryside, and my daughter ran away without a trace.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.But my son was my dearest child, and he couldn't bear to be beaten and scolded, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn girl! If you have the ability, die outside! It will be easier for you when I come back!"

The old lady came to her second son's house and was in a good mood.

While watching her granddaughter handle the ingredients neatly with satisfaction, she nodded: "It seems that the master chef you are following is quite nice and is willing to teach you how to cook. By the way, where is your dad? Isn't he working the night shift this week? ?”

"He went to the factory with my mother to ask the factory director for approval of the leave note."

"Oh, yes, I have to go and bring my grandson back." The old lady said happily, "When your brother comes back, our old Xu family will be truly reunited. When I visit your father's grave later, I will tell him so that he will be happy too. He When I close my eyes, the only thing I can't let go of is my little grandson..."

The grandfather and grandson were chatting when the door opened.

Xu Xiqiao walked in with a slumped head.

"The second child is back?" The old lady frowned when she saw her son's appearance, "Looking at your devastated look, could it be that the factory director refused to approve your leave?"

"That's not true, it's because the factory director is not here." Xu Xiqiao sighed, "Secretary Xu said that the factory director went to Yuancheng for a meeting and won't be back until next week at the earliest."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if she didn't give her a leave note.

Comforting his son: "Why don't we just wait for a week? We have waited for so many years, and we still have a few days to go?"

That being said, Xu Xiqiao still couldn't get excited.

He chatted with his wife very late last night, all they talked about was how to get to Nancheng, should he take the truck from the factory or take the train by himself?If you take a truck from a factory, you always have to buy something for the driver, be it cigarettes, alcohol or something else?When you get to Nancheng, how should you inquire and find... In short, it's all about things that happen after the leave note is approved.

The result is now...

Xu Xiqiao wiped his face deeply. There was nothing he could do in the absence of the factory director but to wait.

But he knew that the next week would be a week of life, a week of walking dead, because his heart had already flown to Nancheng.

Xu Yin took advantage of the situation and said: "Dad, in this case, let me go find my brother. Listen to me first. You and my mother have to wait for at least a week for the factory director to come back, right? After the factory director comes back, it will take ten and a half days It is still unknown whether the three-month family-seeking leave will be granted. What if it is not granted? I heard that the factory is very busy recently, you often work overtime, and my mother is often transferred to another workshop. Even if the factory director sympathizes with our family, , but considering the overall situation, it is normal not to approve it. Then the matter of finding my brother will be delayed? If there is a delay or a delay, what should I do if something happens in the middle? Isn’t it too late to regret it? "

Xu Xiqiao was moved by what he said.

In fact, when the child's mother came back yesterday, she kept lamenting how strong her daughter is now. She could easily beat a strong man to the ground and chew his shit out. In addition, my daughter's Mandarin standard is better than the two of them when asking for directions or asking questions. The mouth is much clearer.If she didn't have a job to work in now, they would really agree to let their daughter go.

"But your job..."

"Dad, it's easier for me to take leave than it is for you. We take turns. During the leave, I ask a colleague to do it for me, and when I come back, I take over for him. It doesn't affect the hotel's operation. Unlike you, missing one person will slow down the work progress."

Xu Xiqiao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Xu Yin was afraid that her father would regret it, so she struck while the iron was hot, quickly made lunch, made herself a rice ball, and took it with her on the road.

Before Ms. Xue got off work at noon, she picked up her small baggage and returned to the city:

"Dad, I'll take time off to buy a ticket when I get back. Just wait for my good news!"
