Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xuewu didn't want Liu Yin to cry anymore, so he stood up and wiped her tears.

"Mom, don't worry, there's also a lot of stipends after you get promoted."

The monthly allowance for a regular platoon member is 66 yuan, and apart from smoking, there are no other expenses.

I saved even more money by going to the front line, and with the subsidy, I now have some savings in my hand.

The money is 543 yuan and 20 cents. The food stamps were all exchanged for national food stamps. There are dozens of kilograms, and they are all stored in the space of my fingers.

Liu Yin watched her daughter-in-law bring steamed buns and rice porridge to the table, as well as a small basin of pickles and a plate of pickled cabbage and tofu, and told everyone to eat.

Seeing a large family sitting around the Eight Immortals table eating in silence, Liu Yin was both happy and sad.

"The previous hardships are over. Now your father can make a lot of money by practicing medicine in the countryside."

As he spoke, he looked at his eldest brother Xuewen and said: "Your eldest brother has basically no expenses at home since he received the subsidy four years ago. Now you and your sister-in-law are both teachers, and their monthly salary is 62 yuan. Your father is now 79 yuan a month." Mao, plus the usual medicine and medical expenses, it can be made up to about 140 yuan."

Then he looked at his third brother and said, "Xuecai was admitted to a medical university this year and started receiving subsidies. He no longer had to pay for his family expenses. The pressure was suddenly relieved."

Liu Yin takes care of the housework and always knows how to settle accounts.

"Now you only have money for your sister's schooling. Your grandma and your eldest grandma are both in good health and don't have much expenses. Now our family is living a good life and can save money."

Li Xuewu watched his mother eating and calculating accounts, knowing that she was not putting pressure on herself, but telling him about her family's financial situation to make herself feel at ease.

But I am afraid that the eldest brother and his wife are being overly concerned when they say these things, because the sister-in-law is married and living together. I don’t know whether she is used to living with a family, but she probably has some ideas. She cannot ask her to adapt to the life of a large family and is busy with her mother. My sister-in-law gave me a wink.

Li Shun didn't bother to look up at him.

Liu Yin saw the look in her son's eyes and thought that her son had grown up and had too many thoughts, so she cursed: "Why are your eyes flying around, you little brat?"

After hearing Liu Yin's words, everyone looked up at Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu was also a little embarrassed.

Liu Yin glanced at her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and said to Li Xuewu: "I told you before your sister-in-law came in that the couple's salary is saved by themselves, and they can use it as they wish. Your father and mother have already insisted on it. It's not here yet." When it comes to using you for retirement, don’t imitate the family across the street and act like a cashier.”

After hearing Liu Yin's words, her sister-in-law Zhao Yafang raised her head and said to her mother Liu Yin: "Mom, how many times have I told you that when I marry, I will be the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and the money I earn will also belong to our family. I asked Xuewen to give it to you. He brought it back to me again, and I was so angry that I pinched him several times. You manage our family so well, and we both want to worry less about managing the money account. We can ask you for it when we use it."

Liu Yin smiled and listened to her daughter-in-law's good words about herself, but she didn't take it seriously.

In fact, Liu Yin knew in her heart that the eldest couple wanted to go out to live, and the eldest daughter-in-law did not want to live with her son in her old age.

"As soon as I came in, your grandma gave me the account book and keys, saying that she could help me for a while, but she couldn't help me forever. I will take care of the house as soon as I can, so you can keep your salary for yourself. If you want to go out alone, Just tell your mother and she will help you take care of it."

Li Shun coughed dissatisfiedly.

Li Xuewen only eats. The eldest brother has a somewhat weak character. He loves learning and does not like housework. It seems that the sister-in-law should be in charge in the future.

Liu Yin glanced at Li Shun and said, "You are not old yet, why are you keeping your son by your side?"

Li Shun slapped his chopsticks on the table, got up, put on his clothes and left.

At this time, the atmosphere at the dinner table became cold again.

At this time, Li Xue poked his mother under the table.

"Mom, I will provide for you in your old age."

Only then did Liu Yin realize that her daughter had an objection to what she had just said.

"Okay, my daughter will support me in my old age."

Li Xue blushed and lowered her head to fiddle with the porridge in the bowl, feeling a little embarrassed.

Liu Yin then said to Li Xuewu: "As soon as Xuewu's job is settled, I will also help you arrange a blind date. My son is a good person and can be matched with anyone."

Liu Yin ignored Li Shun and changed the topic to a more relaxed direction.

Li Xuewu hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, please wait a moment. I'm only nineteen, so I'm already going on a blind date."

At this time, Li Xuewen suddenly said: "Do you need a blind date to learn martial arts?"

Li Xuecai and Li Xue lowered their heads and laughed when they thought of Li Xuewu's past.

Li Xuewu was quite embarrassed. He didn't know why the two of them were laughing, but he seemed to know something.

Liu Yin pursed her lips and nodded at Li Xuewu and said: "Nineteen is not too young. If you don't go to school, it's time to get married. The Chinese New Year will be here soon. Mom will give you money to find a house, and then you can find a partner. The good thing this time is that your father won’t chase you and beat you.”

After Li Xuewen finished eating the steamed buns, he clapped his hands, stood up and returned to the house.

He obviously didn't want to get involved in family affairs, and the look in his wife's eyes at the table made him unable to eat.

Originally, they thought that when the second brother came back, they could take advantage of the opportunity to vacate the house and move out.

My daughter-in-law has mentioned it several times, but she didn't expect that her father would directly decide who would take care of the family and provide for the elderly this morning, so she didn't dare to mention it against her father.

Seeing Li Xuewen getting up after finishing the meal, Zhao Yafang also took a few bites and then got up and went back to the house.

Within two minutes, both of them were dressed neatly and ready to go out.

Zhao Yafang put on a red scarf and came out and said to Li Xuewu: "Your brother and I have classes today and have to take the morning bus to school. We eat first and then leave. Is there anything you want to eat? Your brother and I I’ll come back in the afternoon and buy it for you.”

Li Xuewu stood up quickly.

"Sister-in-law, please be safe on the road. You don't need to pay special attention to me. I'm not a child anymore. Let's have a good chat after you get off work."

Seeing Li Xuewu standing talking to herself, Zhao Yafang was very pleased. This brother-in-law, who seemed difficult to get along with, respected her very much. It would not be too difficult to get along with him in the future, so she said: "Okay, then grandma, grandpa, mom, second brother , let’s leave first, you sit down and have a good meal.”

After saying that, the two of them went out to catch the bus.

Li Xuewu sat down and took a few bites, finishing the steamed buns in his hands. He then stood up to help Liu Yin clear the table. Li Xuewu was the last one to finish the meal.

Liu Yin quickly pressed down the bowl that Li Xuewu had put away.

"Hurry up and put it down. I don't even need them to take care of your brothers and sisters at home. You are of no use to them. Just take a rest."

"Just have a meal. I'm tired. I can help you clean up."

Liu Yin pushed her son away and said, "That's not necessary for you. Just go and do what you have to do."

Li Xuewu had no choice but to pick up one bag of luggage and two bags of clothes and belongings on the ground.

Li Xuecai had to go to school today, and Li Xue also had to go to school, so after eating, they both packed up their things and rushed to school.

Li Xuewu opened his luggage bag, took out a pair of spring and autumn leather shoes and a pair of winter leather shoes on the ground, refolded the bedding and placed it on the kang.

Mrs. Li is from the Northeast, so the judges in the Northeast should know how the Northeast family is divided, that is, which son takes care of the elderly and inherits all the family property. The other sons go out to live alone and do not have to bear the food, clothing, housing, transportation and medical care of their parents after they grow old. Of course, filial piety comes first, and those who are capable support and respect each other.
