Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Xu's mother hurriedly retracted her feet and said, "I can do it myself."

Xu Wanning said: "I am your daughter, what's wrong with changing your shoes?"

As she spoke, she took off the shoes on Xu's mother's feet without any explanation.

Only then did I realize that my mother's socks were soaked.

And her feet were as cold as ice. Xu Wanning scratched the soles of her feet without any reaction.

Lin Quan quickly brought the hot water over.

As soon as Xu's mother put her feet into the basin, she suddenly screamed and quickly raised her feet, her expression looking a little ferocious because of the pain.

"Is the water temperature too high?" Lin Quan asked hurriedly.

But she just tested the water temperature with her hands and made sure it wasn't hot before bringing it over.

"It's because I've been freezing for a long time and I'm used to it. It'll hurt if I'm suddenly soaked in hot water. An Ning, try pouring some hot water on your feet first, and wait until you get used to the temperature. Then put your mother’s feet into the water.”

"it is good."

Lin Quan saw that there was no problem with the water temperature, so he turned to the kitchen again.

Then he came over with a basin of water.

"Auntie, your hands must be frozen too. Let me soak your hands and apply some frostbite ointment later. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable if you get frostbite."

Xu's mother was even more embarrassed.

Xu Wanning was still her own child, but Lin Quan was someone else's child, and she couldn't accept it psychologically.

But her hands were indeed so cold that she couldn't feel anything, so she could only let Lin Quan help her soak them.

Mother Lin was not idle either and went to the kitchen to cook for Mother Xu.

Lin An brought some firewood in from outside and burned the brazier vigorously. You could still see the flames jumping.

After a while, the room became extremely warm.

The feeling in her hands and feet returned, and Xu's mother felt like she was alive.

Xu Wanning took out chilblain cream, carefully applied a thick layer on Xu's mother's feet, and put a pair of clean wool socks on her.

"Tsuen Tsuen, thank you."

"Oh, Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. I'm embarrassed for doing this. Sister-in-law, you sit down and talk to Auntie first. I'll pour the water first. After the next pot of water boils, I'll fill it up again. Come in and let Auntie hold the thermos bottle."

"okay."

Xu Wanning put on the cotton nest shoes for Xu's mother, and held her two hands in his own to warm her, "Mom, why did you come to Dajiang Village suddenly and didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Our unit has nothing to do as the New Year is approaching. I thought that you wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year with me this year, so I suddenly wanted to come to Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year with you. Your eldest aunt and second aunt also wanted to come, but your second sister-in-law was pregnant It’s not good, I can’t live without people around me, and your eldest aunt has to take care of the marriage between your third brother and your sister Jingjing, so I can’t get away for a while.”

"So I came on my own."

In Xu's mother's plan, she should suddenly appear at the Lin family and give Xu Wanning a big surprise.

But she really underestimated the bad weather in the Black Province.

The moment she got off the train, she was already shivering from the cold.

She reluctantly asked passers-by and got on the bus to the county seat. After arriving at the county seat, her eyes darkened, and it was extremely cold, making it difficult to move.

"Fortunately, I met Cuifen, and she called your village committee for me, so I asked Lin An to pick me up."

This is also the reason why Lin An walked away all afternoon and didn't come back in time.

Xu Wanning glared at Lin An: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?"

If she knew, wouldn't she be able to prepare in advance?

If nothing else, is it okay to borrow a car from Director Sun or Director Chen?

No matter what happened, she could still carry a thermos bottle and go out.

In bad weather, it can really freeze someone to death!

Lin An touched his nose awkwardly, not daring to look Xu Wanning in the eyes.

Xu's mother said hurriedly: "I didn't let Anzi tell you. I wanted to give you a surprise."

Xu Wanning couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "Mom, I understand that you want to surprise me, but you really scared me to death. If you have any good intentions, please let me..."

"Bah bah bah!"

Mother Lin, who came out with the hot noodles, happened to hear Xu Wanning's words and hurriedly said, "It's not a good time to say such unlucky words during the Chinese New Year."

With that said, Mother Lin placed the rice in front of Mother Xu, "My mother-in-law, I wanted to let you eat it quickly to warm yourself up, so I just ordered a bowl of noodles. Don't dislike it."

"How could it be? I just want to eat something hot right now, and my mother-in-law, you are so considerate."

"Eat quickly, there will still be some in the pot after you finish."

While Xu's mother was eating, Mother Lin winked at Xu Wanning, and the two walked aside to talk quietly.

"Aning, where do you plan to sleep at night?"

Mother Xu pricked up her ears and listened, suddenly regretting her sudden visit and wondering if it would cause trouble to Aning.

After all, the house at home doesn't look big, and with so many people living there, there might not be enough room for her to sleep there.

Xu Wanning is thinking about this issue seriously.

There are three rooms in the house, and now we can barely sleep in them.

In the room where Mother Lin and Lin Quan currently live, the bed is slightly larger and can accommodate another person.

But although the two mothers are related to each other, they are not actually very close. It is estimated that they will be a little uncomfortable sleeping together.

"This is what I think. Let's make do with it tonight. Let Gengming and Chulin sleep with me and Tsuenquan. Let the four children sleep head-to-toe in such a staggered position that they can just sleep enough. Then Let Anzi, Song Han, and Xu Ning sleep in that hut, and you and your mother sleep in your bedroom."

"Tomorrow morning, let Anzi go to the back mountain to cut some branches and build a simple bed to support in that small room. Gengming and Chulin are young and light. They won't collapse if they sleep on that kind of bed. What do you think? ?”

Xu Wanning felt that this was the best way.

"I listen to you."

After discussing it, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the table.

"Will it be a little disturbing if I come suddenly?"

"No, no." Mother Lin said with a smile: "Our whole family is very welcome. But our family is a bit small, so we have to squeeze in to sleep. But it doesn't matter. When the village chief brings people here the day after tomorrow, we will start building a house. When the time comes, let’s find more manpower and try to build the house as soon as possible.”

Xu's mother said in surprise: "Start building the house now. It will take at least a few months until it is completed, right?"

"No need. If there are more people and more strength, it can be built in three or two days."

Xu Wanning looked at Xu's mother's disbelief and explained, "Mom, it's relatively easy to build a house in the village. Walls and other things are made of rammed earth. If adobe bricks are readily available, a yard can be built in a few days."
