Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

The group of people entered the house, and Uncle Du and Father Du put all the things in their hands on the ground. At this time, the old lady no longer bothered to say hello to Grandma Du, and began to look through the pile of things. As she looked, she said, "Hey,

My dear, these apples are really big. I guess one costs a lot of money. You see, the noodles are thin and white. Tomorrow I will steam a pot of white flour steamed buns for Dajiang’s mother to eat. My dear, what is this?

These things are not made from dried wild grapes, right?" He picked up a piece of raisin in his hand and put it into his mouth.

"This stuff is so sweet, my in-laws, these things cost a lot of money, you are really willing to give them up." The old lady ate raisins in her mouth, thinking to herself, this in-laws love their daughter too much, and they are not willing to buy so many good things.

Can't live a good life.

"Your place is better than ours. It's very close to the mountains. It's convenient to pick some wild fruits and hunt pheasants. Look at these two rabbits and pheasants, they're both fat and alive," the old lady gushed.

Continuously, I forgot about pouring sugar water just now.

Grandma Du was also very helpless towards her daughter's stingy mother-in-law. Fortunately, although the old lady was not very kind to her daughter, she was still reasonable and had her son-in-law to protect her, so her daughter did not suffer. "Isn't it because I heard that Xinghua is pregnant?

Well, there has been no movement in her stomach in the past few years, and the harvest at home this year is not bad, so I bought some things to see her and let her take a good rest, so that I can give you a big fat grandson next year."

.

Although the old lady looked down upon her daughter-in-law's lavish spending, she still loved her grandson very much. After hearing what Grandma Du said, she knew that these things were for her daughter-in-law, but she was very greedy.[

The old man was happy to talk to Father Du, and Ya'er also whispered to her two cousins. Later, when the old man saw that his old woman only knew how to talk and didn't know how to pour water, he shouted, "Old woman

, I went to pour a bowl of sugar water for my in-laws to drink. They have also been on the road all morning. I will pick up the wild rabbits I got two days ago. At noon, my eldest nephew and I will have a good drink. Dajiang, you go and give it to you.

Sister Ya'er grabbed a handful of peanuts and let Ya'er try the spiced peanuts fried by grandpa."

Before Father Du and Grandma Du could say goodbye, the old lady over there spoke first, "Isn't there no sugar in the sugar jar? I just need boiled water. How can country people be so particular about it? We agreed to turn the wild rabbit into bacon."

, I’ll eat it during the Chinese New Year.”

As soon as the old lady spoke, Guo Xiaosong knew that his old lady's stingy habit had happened again. Didn't he just come back from buying brown sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday? The old man would get angry when he heard this, and Father Du didn't want to give in just because of such a trivial matter.

They quarreled, and besides, they had no intention of eating here, so they excused themselves quickly, "Uncle, we are going to Xinghua's sister's house later. She happens to be pregnant, so we will go to see her together. At noon, we will go to her sister's house."

I ate at her house, told my aunt to stop working, let’s talk and let’s go, this road is not close.”

The old man was angry and helpless, and he couldn't talk about his wife in front of the guests. The old lady became happy, "Hey, my nephew, why don't you eat here for lunch, and I will go and get you some water." Father Du said again

After saying goodbye, the old lady poured the water and saw that her old man had a bad look on her face, "Xinghua, please talk to your parents-in-law. There is not much water in the kettle. I will boil two more kettles of water." Then she hid out.

.

As soon as the old lady went out, the awkward atmosphere just now eased back. My sister-in-law took Grandma Du's hand and said, "Mom, let's go to my room to talk. Brother, my father-in-law and Xiaosong are here to greet me." Grandma Du also wanted to be alone.

After talking to my daughter, I followed my sister-in-law to her room.

Ya'er was not interested in the conversation between Father Du and her uncle, so she took the hands of her two cousins ​​and followed her into the house. The layout of the room was similar to her own, except that it was slightly smaller. It was attractive.

What Ya'er looked at were the wooden ponies and little ducks placed on the bedside table.

When the sister-in-law saw that Ya'er had also followed in, she took Ya'er into her arms, rubbed Ya'er's little head, kissed Ya'er hard on her tender little face, and sighed to Grandma Du, "

It would be great if I could have a daughter like Ya'er this time, well-behaved and obedient, not like a naughty boy who fights cocks and chases dogs all day long and is not obedient at all."

After all, Ya'er didn't dare to let her sister-in-law hug her all the time. There was still a baby in her belly. She got off her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, when will the little sister come out next year? Is the little sister obedient in the belly?"

, and touched my sister-in-law’s belly, which was not obvious at all, with her chubby little hands, with a sacred look on her face.

"It will come out next summer. Now it is obedient in the belly." My sister-in-law grabbed Ya'er's little hand and chewed it again. Why is this little girl so painful?

"Xinghua, here, look at this." Grandma Du took out a few pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to her sister-in-law. "These are all things you should pay attention to when you are pregnant. I specially asked an expert to write this.

”.

"What? Let me take a look." My sister-in-law took it and started reading it, "Hey, mother, where did you get this? It's so detailed. Otherwise, I really don't know that there are so many things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

”.

"Don't worry about how you got it. Anyway, these are what experts say, and they are absolutely correct. Pay attention to this in daily life. You are not young now, and it is the busiest time when this baby is born, so be careful.

"After all, Grandma Du didn't tell her sister-in-law about Zhang Zeyuan, because she was afraid that if she leaked the news one day, it would cause trouble for Zhang Zeyuan. Let's tell them in detail during the Chinese New Year. He is also a miserable child.

.

"Hey, I must pay attention. I will read it over in a while, and you can bring these to eldest sister to have a look at."

"I've prepared everything. I asked your third brother to make a special copy yesterday. You can keep this copy for yourself." Grandma Du patted her pocket to indicate that she was ready.

The mother-in-law talked affectionately here, and the two cousins ​​took down the wood-carved toys from the bedside table, "Ya'er, my father made these. We like them. Do you like them?"

, If you like it, we will give it to you."

Ya'er was very fond of the toys that were carved so lifelike. She never thought that her uncle's craftsmanship was so advanced. After the reform, with this craftsmanship, her uncle would definitely make a fortune. The wooden horse was carved in the shape of a galloping horse.

The drawings are exquisite, even the mane on the horse's tail is carved realistically. The little rabbits and ducks are also lifelike and cute. Ya'er couldn't put it down, and really wanted to come over, but then I thought that my sister-in-law will have a baby next year.

, it’s better to leave it to the baby. Children in this era don’t have many toys.

"Ya'er, don't you like these toys?" The cousins ​​were very confused when they saw Ya'er putting the toys on the cabinet again. The friends in the village all liked them very much and wanted to get one from them.

They were reluctant to give it to others, so they took the initiative to give it to Ya'er.

"I like it very much, but my aunt is going to have a baby, and the baby will definitely like it too, so I'd better leave it to the baby to play with."

After hearing what Ya'er said, the two cousins ​​didn't know what to do. Should they give it to Ya'er or leave it to the baby? The sister-in-law, who had been paying attention to the three of them, stuffed several toys on the cabinet.

To Ya'er, "Ya'er, take whatever you like. If the baby wants to play with it, ask your uncle to make it for her. Anyway, your uncle also likes to tinker with these things."[

After hearing what my sister-in-law said and because she really liked it, Ya'er took it and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. These are all fun. My uncle is really awesome."

Grandma Du looked at the three children who were having fun and was very happy. Suddenly she remembered that she had not finished what the old man from home had told her. She took out a cloth roll rolled with handkerchief from her innermost pocket and opened it.

He took out five big cards and handed them to his daughter, "Xinghua, your father asked me to give this to you. If you want to eat something in the future, ask Dajiang's father to buy it for you. Just rely on your stingy mother-in-law."

, I must starve my little grandson to death."

"Mom, I don't want it. Today you and your eldest brother brought me these things for both young and old, as well as for my eldest sister. These things cost a lot of money. You should take the money back quickly. My family has enough.

I don’t need you to worry about me." My sister-in-law quickly resigned. My mother and eldest brother brought so many things today. I was shocked. How could I still ask for money?

"Besides, in two years it's time for me to ask for a wife, so you can keep this money." My sister-in-law was determined not to accept it. Grandma Du saw that her daughter was determined not to accept it. Besides, what she said was right, she also has a son.

He doesn't have a family yet, and he's not young anymore. It's time to prepare to find someone to introduce him to a partner.

"Okay, leave this money with me first. If you need the money in the future, send a letter home and ask your elder brother to send it to you. Don't open your mouth." Grandma Du had no choice but to

He collected the money again without forgetting his instructions.

"I got it, Mom. I'm not a child anymore. If I need money urgently, I will definitely ask you for it. Don't worry." Seeing Grandma Du collect the money, my sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

My mother came to see my daughter bring so many things and give her money. I wonder if my two sisters-in-law at home would be angry if they knew that my mother had brought so many things today.

The two of them were chirping again, and the three children were also chirping, which was very uncomfortable, until the younger uncle came in and said, "Xinghua, mother, the eldest brother said it's getting late, so he has to go to the eldest sister's house early."

When Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang saw it, they couldn't bear to leave sister Ya'er, "Dad, can we let sister Ya'er live in our house for a few days? We can't bear to leave her." When the little girl heard this, she also said, "Mom, why don't we let sister Ya'er live in our house?"

I can’t bear to leave her in our family, maybe Ya’er can bring me a precious daughter.”

When Ya'er saw that her sister-in-law and uncle were both interested, she quickly resigned. She didn't want to live here, "Sister-in-law, uncle, why don't you let your two brothers go back with us? It's so fun where we are. Anyway, they

There is nothing to do at home now." Grandma Du didn't worry about leaving her little baby here because she was afraid that the stingy old lady would starve her sweet granddaughter. "Forget it, Ya'er didn't bring any clothes, and your sister-in-law would definitely be reluctant to part with her.

I think we can let brothers Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang go back with us. You can also save your worries and ask your elder brother to send them back before the end of the year."

When the two brothers heard this, they thought they could go to live at grandma's house, which is more fun than their own village. "Mom, dad, we are going to grandma's house. Every time we go to grandma's house, grandma prepares delicious food for us. The food she cooks is better than

Delicious food at home.”

The cousins' words obviously pleased Grandma Du, "Okay, don't think about it, they will go back with us today. Xinghua, quickly pack two sets of clothes for them so that they can change."

"Xiaosong, go and tell your parents-in-law that I will take my two grandchildren back to stay for a few days."

As soon as Grandma Du spoke, the two brothers jumped up and picked up Ya'er and spun around in circles. Seeing that Grandma Du had said this, my sister-in-law and uncle had no choice but to agree.

When the old lady heard that her two grandsons were going to stay at their grandma's house for a few days, she didn't have any objections. Anyway, they have nothing to do at home now. They can play all day long. Going to stay with their in-laws for a few days can save a few days for themselves.

rations.

My sister-in-law saw her two sons happily jumping onto the oxcart carrying their bags of clothes, without any sign of reluctance. Then she looked at Ya'er obediently saying goodbye to everyone, and once again sighed with emotion that indeed her daughter is the one.

My mother is a caring little cotton-padded jacket. But she keeps telling her two sons to listen to their grandparents, don’t make them angry, and come back after staying for a few days. As a mother, she knows these two boys very well.

, I have been running around like a wild horse running wild all day long, and I am afraid that I will be so annoying when I get to my parents' house.

"Okay, stop talking about them all the time. There is no boy who doesn't want to be spoiled. I guarantee you won't lose to them when you get home. Just rest assured and take care of yourself. We will go to your eldest sister's house now." Grandma Du waved her hand.

I also got on the bullock cart.
