After eating a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup, the two boys quickly fell in love with the Li family. Grandma Li, who had a tofu heart around the mouth of the knife, kept calling, and Mrs. Li held the two boys for a while. Just called Fengnan to play with the two of them. Mingnan and Mingbei are all familiar with each other, and after a while, they are like brothers who grew up with Mingshu and Mingxin.

Mingbei talked about his going up and down the mountain and down the river with great interest. He listened to the book with great interest. The four-year-old Mingxin had no heart, and said everything: "My mother said that my grandmother's family is poor, and there is no fun."

"Bullshit!" Mingbei rolled his eyes: "I told you, we have everything in our house, don't look at the cold weather now, but sometimes you can catch some pheasants and hares on the mountain, you didn't eat them just now Two pieces of chicken?"

Although the pheasant meat is not easy to eat, the boiled soup is very fragrant. Mingxin, who has not eaten chicken for a long time, licked his lips and showed an innocent smile: "Chicken is delicious!"

Mingbei touched Mingxin's head and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing in Bingcheng?"

Mingxin tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything for a long time, so he could only shake his head honestly. Ming Shu is older and has some experience with playing: "It's interesting to go to the Songhua River to watch ice fishing, but it's too far from my home, and my mother doesn't want us to go."

"What's the matter? There is a Yongcui River in front of our house. My brother and I have caught a lot of fish this month. I will take you there tomorrow." Mingbei vowed to pat his chest.

Mingshu and Mingxin nodded again and again, and Mingbei said, "I have another fun at home." Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, Mingbei proudly raised his chest: "My mother just gave me a baby. younger sister!"

"Wow..." Ming Shu and Ming Xin looked at Ming Bei with admiration on their faces: "Second aunt is amazing, I don't have a little sister in my family."

"My third uncle doesn't have one either." Mingbei said proudly, he looked inside, and when he saw the adults were sitting in the Westinghouse talking, he waved to the two new brothers: "I'll take you to see me. younger sister."

The four boys crept to the door of the east room, Ming Bei cautiously opened the door and looked inside, just as Zhen Zhen had just had her stomach full and was working her little hands and feet in spirit.

In fact, Wang Sufen heard the sound when Li Mulin and the others went home, but then Zhen Zhen was sleeping and eating milk, Wang Sufen did not dare to move for fear of waking Zhen Zhen.

But the voices outside were so loud that Zhen Zhen was finally woken up. Seeing that she was playing happily without crying or making trouble, Wang Sufen thought about changing clothes and taking her outside to recognize people. It happened that she had just changed. After the clothes opened the latch of the door, a few boys came in.

"Mom, this is Mingshu and Mingxin from the fourth uncle's family. They want to see their sister." Mingnan and Mingbei brought their two children in, and greeted Wang Sufen with a smile.

"He's really handsome." Wang Sufen heard the swearing voice of Mrs. Li from Westinghouse, and decisively brought a few children into the house: "Come on, go to sit on the kang, just as your sister is awake." Then she put Zhen Zhen on the mattress superior.

Seeing this, Ming Shu hurriedly went up to the kang in his slippers to see Zhen Zhen, Ming Xin was still a little shy, he stood under the kang and refused to go up, but after a while, the three elder brothers surrounded Zhen Zhen tightly, he didn't do anything under it. couldn't see it, and when was in a hurry, couldn't care about being shy. took off shoes and got on the kang, and squeezed in from the middle of Mingnan and Mingbei.

Because the baby grows fast, Zhen Zhen can't crawl or sit, so Mrs. Li didn't make her new clothes, she only found two half-old clothes that Ming Nan wore when she was a child, and gave them to Zhen Zhen. wore.

The kang was burning continuously all day, and there was a wall of fire in the west, so the room was very warm. Zhen Zhen was just wearing a single coat lying on the kang and felt a little hot. Mingxin looked curiously at this soft-looking baby, and couldn't help touching her little hand, grinning at Wang Sufen: "Sister is so pretty."

"That's it!" Mingbei smiled triumphantly, and told him seriously: "My sister's name is Zhen Zhen, that character is always difficult to write, my dad will definitely cry when she says my sister goes to school to write her name."

Ming Shu is already in the second grade of elementary school, and he was shocked when he heard the words: "Why did you have a name that is difficult to write? The second uncle doesn't like his sister?"

"Because it sounds good, it's easy to support myself." Ming Nan lay on the kang with his feet dangling in the air, he glanced at the book and said, "My dad and my grandma both like my sister, and the grandma said Zhen Zhen She is the only girl in our family of five generations."

Ming Shu and Ming Xin didn't quite understand what Ming Nan meant, but it didn't prevent them from expressing their respect: "It's amazing, my mother just can't give birth to a sister."

Mingbei proudly raised her head, and those who didn't know thought it was him who was complimenting. Although Zhen Zhen understood what everyone was saying, she wasn't full moon yet, so she didn't dare to speak, so she could only babble. show your passion.

Ming Shu looked at Zhen Zhen's cute appearance with big black eyes and tried to recall Ming Xin's appearance when he was a child, only vaguely remembered: "Ming Xin was not as good as his younger sister when he was a child. Except for peeing and crying, it’s not fun at all.”

"My sister doesn't cry." Mingbei said immediately, "She laughs every time she sees me. She said that when my sister grows teeth, she will let me fish for her to eat, and she will like me the most."

Zhen Zhen couldn't help her face full of black lines: Silly boy, grandma is tricking you into working.

Seeing the smile on Zhen Zhen's face, Ming Bei was instantly happy, he turned around and asked Wang Sufen: "Mom, you see my sister smiled at me, does she like me the most?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Wang Sufen echoed repeatedly, not forgetting to dig a hole for the silly son by the way: "When you fish and hunt rabbits and pick up hazelnuts and pine nuts for your sister, your sister will like you more."

Li Mingbei was anxious: "Mom, why did you say it in front of my third brother and let him know how to fight me?"

Li Mingnan rolled his eyes deeply, resisted the desire to complain, and tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile: "How can you not let my brother, I will not rob you. By the way, wait for the next year. When picking up firewood in autumn, what should you do if you don't freeze my sister?" Wang Sufen couldn't help laughing when she saw Ming Bei looking at Ming Nan with a grateful expression.

In the east room, Wang Sufen led a group of children full of warmth, but the atmosphere in the west room was a little awkward. Zhang Chunhua considers herself a city dweller, and a place like Beicha is a country in her eyes. When she married Li Mulin, it was entirely because she saw that Li Mulin's house was far away, and she had several older brothers, so she had no pension burden.

Zhang Chunhua's mother injured her body when she gave birth to her. Afterwards, those who hid in Tibet because of the war did not do well in confinement. After that, she never became pregnant again. Zhang Chunhua was the only girl in the Zhang family, and the old couple thought about recruiting a son-in-law who would come to support them in the future.

Nowadays, there are many people who can't eat. Although Zhang's family is not rich, they have a household registration in the city. Zhang's father works in the Electric Power Bureau, which is more than enough to support a family of three. Although Zhang Chunhua didn't have a job, he was very picky. He disliked the soil from the countryside, and she also disliked the parents from being unattractive in a few cities.

At that time, Li Mulin had just arrived in Bingcheng just in time to catch up with the Electric Power Bureau's recruitment. Li Mulin had read books for several years, and his young and strong hands and feet were quick and swift. He was successfully recruited as an apprentice by the Electric Power Bureau and sent his father Zhang to be his apprentice. master.

Li Mulin has a flexible mind. He didn't learn professional things when he went to work. When he was resting, he went to Zhang's house to help with his work. By the way, he asked the master to teach him more. After going back and forth, Zhang Chunhua fell in love with Li Mulin. After Zhang's father found out, he tested Li Mulin's tone, but Li Mulin gritted his teeth and disagreed with the matter.

Father Zhang originally thought about it, but Zhang Chunhua had a crush on Li Mulin. Father Zhang pondered how far away the Li family was. Li Mulin was working alone in Bingcheng. In fact, he was similar to his son-in-law, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Originally, Li Mulin had to go home and talk to his parents about the marriage event, and then Li Linmu's parents would come to propose marriage or something. But the Zhang family secretly wanted Li Mulin to change his surname, so how could he let him go home at this time. Seeing that Li Mulin insisted on taking a leave of absence to go home, Zhang's father thought of a way to trick Li Mulin into saying that if he asked for leave at this time, it would affect his future return.

The salary difference between apprentice workers and regular workers was more than three times. Li Mulin hesitated again and again, but he was finally reluctant to pay the salary after the regularization, so he wrote a letter to go home, and got married in a confused way.

Before Li Mulin got married, he lived in a single dormitory, but after getting married, he would not be able to apply for a house for a while. The Zhang family quickly took the opportunity to let the young couple move home and live, thinking about the fact that the son-in-law would come to the house bit by bit.

In the year of getting married, Li Mulin, who was successfully turned into a regular, was thinking about bringing his daughter-in-law home to meet his parents during the Chinese New Year, but at this time Zhang Chunhua became pregnant and vomited upside down. Li Mulin naturally had no way to bring his daughter-in-law home at this time; The child was born, and Zhang Chunhua used the reason that the child was too young to be afraid of getting sick, and said that he would wait until the child was older; when Mingshu was four years old, his body and bones were firm, and Li Mulin thought that he should be able to go home this time, but Zhang Chunhua is pregnant again...

If it wasn't for Li Mulin's fear that when he went home alone, his neighbors would gossip and his relatives would laugh at him, he would have come back for the New Year by himself. This year, Mingxin has finally grown older, and Zhang Chunhua is not pregnant, so the return to his hometown for the Chinese New Year will be considered a success.

Although Zhang Chunhua came back with him, he was still very reluctant. After getting on the train, he had a sullen face. Definitely don't want to go back home.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunhua secretly taught for more than ten days, and the Li family's bowl of chicken noodle soup and a newborn daughter made the two sons forget what they said.

Seeing that Li Mulin was scolded by Mrs. Li for a dog-blood spray, and he was hit with a cane from time to time, Zhang Chunhua suddenly felt guilty, and subconsciously wanted to find his son as a supporter, and then he reacted, as if he hadn't seen his son after eating.

"Hahaha..." The happy laughter of Mingshu and Mingxin came from next door, and Zhang Chunhua was distraught: "Heartless bastard, why did Mom teach it, have you forgotten it?" ? !

Mrs. Li cursed happily, took out a cigarette bag from her waist, stuffed some cigarette leaves and lit it, took two deep breaths, and exhaled a string of smoke. Mrs. Li is a very shrewd old lady. Although she knows that her son has not come home for many years, there must be a "credit" from her daughter-in-law, but in her heart, her daughter-in-law is someone else's daughter and can't teach herself, just take care of her own son.

Mrs. Li took a few puffs of cigarettes, and most of the anger in her heart dissipated. When she heard the noise of the child next door making noise and laughing, Mrs. Li told Li Mulin: "On Laba Day, your second brother added a daughter to his family, and he took the It's called Zhen Zhen."

Li Mulin laughed immediately: "Second brother is really lucky, mother, did you tell those relatives in our family?"

"I've gone to the letter." Speaking of Zhen Zhen, the wrinkles on Mrs. Li's face started to smile: "Your aunt and all of them are envious, and your third aunt said to bring her little daughter-in-law after the spring. Let's hug Zhen Zhen and see if we can be happy and have a daughter."

Zhang Chunhua, who thought he had given birth to two sons and took himself seriously, was very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but muttered, "What's so good about the girl's movie, I won't have to marry someone else's house in the future."

When Mrs. Li took a look, oh, I ignored you and let you go to heaven, and she immediately slammed her tongue back: "The girl is cute and caring, but the boy is much stronger." Just came twice: "What's so good about having a kid? When you grow up, you won't be home. You don't know how to come back once in ten years. How can you give birth to a daughter."

Li Mulin was standing beside the kang honestly, and just after coaxing his mother to be happy for a while, he was inexplicably beaten again and almost cried. Zhang Chunhua saw that Li Mulin's buttocks hurt so much that he couldn't sit down, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears: It's really scary to have a mother-in-law who can do it and not forget to force it.
