Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Dachun, why don't you go to the kitchen to get some eggs and duck eggs and bake them for uncle to eat? Although they don't taste the same as bird eggs, they are still your thoughts after all."

As soon as Xu Wanning said that, the two children really got off Xu Maoting's arms.

"Uncle, just stay here and chat with my mother. My sister and I will bake eggs for you."

After watching the two children run away, Xu Maoting's face immediately darkened. He accused Xu Wanning: "How can you allow them to go up the tree and dig out the bird's nest? How dangerous is this? What if they fall?"

When Xu Wanning first came here, she was shocked to know that the two children often went up trees to dig out bird eggs, fearing that they would accidentally step on a dead branch or slip and fall off.

But after observing for a while, she found that most of the boys in the village could climb trees, and Dachun was particularly nimble with his hands and feet. The most important thing was that he had a strong sense of crisis and could protect himself, so he followed suit. Followed him.

"This is their fun and a way to explore the world. Second brother, you can't ask children who grew up in rural areas to be the same as children in cities, right?"

Xu Wanning said it easily, but Xu Maoting's heart twitched severely.

In the past few days, he tried his best not to think about how his little sister had lived in Dajiang Village in the past few years. He thought that this would comfort him. After all, judging from his current state, his energy was much better than when he was at home. .

But just because he didn't think about it, it didn't mean something didn't happen.

His little sister should have been able to shine in Beijing, or with the help of her family, have a stable but decent job, just like their brothers.

However, she was alone in this remote and barren Dajiang Village.

That's all, my little sister's child is...

Thinking about it, Xu Maoting's eyes became moist.

Such changes made Xu Wanning a little overwhelmed for a while.

She was not good at comforting people, so she could only hand the handkerchief to him: "Second brother, don't cry. I'm living a good life, really."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Maoting wouldn't believe it, she listed many examples one after another.

"Although the living conditions in Dajiang Village are far inferior to those in Beijing, Lin An respects me and takes good care of me. He gives me his monthly allowance every penny. No matter what I buy, he won't say a word. . And my mother-in-law, in all the years I’ve been married, she has never wasted time on me, and she always puts me first in everything.”

"Isn't the most important thing for a woman to get married and have children? I have met a good lover and a good mother-in-law, and I am already much happier than many people."

"Even if I live in the capital and live a comfortable life, if I don't marry the right person, life will still be difficult. Second brother, what do you think?"

Xu Maoting always felt that Xu Wanning's words were strange, but he did not refute it.

After all, when a woman chooses her husband's family, it is like being reincarnated for the second time and meeting a mother-in-law who loves to tease others. So what if she grew up pampered and pampered? After all, she is married as a wife, and her family cannot interfere too much.

Seeing that Xu Maoting was convinced by him, Xu Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming from a later generation, she never believed that getting married and having children was a necessary choice for women, and that making money was the only way to go.

But now that she is in the 70s, those ideas of future generations can only be temporarily suppressed and she can only adapt to the current situation.

Otherwise, she will be too unconventional and may be in danger.

"Have you...ever thought about returning to the capital?"

"Of course." Xu Wanning said without thinking: "Although Dajiang Village is very good, and my wife and mother-in-law are also very good, I still miss the capital city. But to return to the capital city, I need a suitable opportunity."

"I just hope that this opportunity will come soon, so that I can meet my parents, aunts and uncles, several other brothers, my sister-in-law and nephews who I have never met before. .”

Xu Wanning almost told everyone about her family.

She was betting on whether Xu Maoting would reveal some information to her.

Although she knew that the college entrance examination would resume next year, she still felt anxious and hesitant until she received the exact news.

But fortunately, she won the bet.

"You should take the time to read more books and consolidate the knowledge that teachers gave you in school. Maybe the opportunity for you to go home will come soon."

Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"You know, second brother, I will take time to read recently, and I will also teach Dachun and Yaomei how to read..."

"Wait!" Xu Maoting interrupted Xu Wanning. He continued to glare at her: "I felt something was wrong just now. Why did you give the children such names? Dachun and Yaomei are not nice at all."

Xu Wanning smiled bitterly. This was caused by her original body. She has been screaming for so many years. What can she do?

I can only call along.

"After the New Year and the weather gets warmer, I plan to let Dachun and Yaomei go to elementary school, so I will change their names in advance. This is just their nickname. After all, in rural areas, nicknames are easy to make a living."

Only then did Xu Maoting look away: "That's pretty much it."

"Uncle, the eggs are baked, come out and eat them!" Dachun shouted at the top of his lungs in the yard.

Xu Maoting was like changing his face in a Sichuan opera. He who had been stern with Xu Wanning just now suddenly changed into a beaming smile, "Uncle is here!"

Xu Wanning only felt that she had no love in life.

Has she fallen out of favor with her second brother?

The person who was clearly reluctant to say harsh words to her before was now willing to glare at her over and over again!

O man!

In the yard, Xu Maoting and Dachun Yaomei squatted side by side, looking at the two eggs and two duck eggs placed in the fire made of earth, and couldn't help asking: "Are these roasted eggs?"

Dachun scratched his head: "I've only baked bird eggs like this. I don't know if eggs and duck eggs taste good."

"It must be delicious." Xu Maoting was extremely determined.

After all, his nephew and niece would insist on finishing the food even if it wasn't delicious.

"Ah!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xu Maoting couldn't help sneezing. He hurriedly wrapped his clothes tightly and put his hand close to the fire: "How long do we have to wait?"

He wanted to go inside, it was too cold outside.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, and a heavy military coat was draped on his back.

He looked back and bumped into Mother Lin's smiling face.

"You are wearing too thin clothes, and you will easily get sick if the wind blows. Anzi is about the same size as you, so you should wear his clothes first, and don't think twice that they were worn by him. At this time, resisting the wind and cold is the most important thing."

"Thank you, aunt, I don't mind it."

The military coat still smelled like soap locust, so it must have been freshly washed.

"That's it, you play with the children first, while Aning and I go prepare dinner."

After Mother Lin left, Xu Maoting opened his arms and held Dachun and Yaomei in his arms.

"Aren't you two cold?"
