Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Unlike in the city, building a house requires the use of reinforced concrete, and when building a building, you need to build a foundation, so it will take longer."

Xu's mother asked again: "Then why not build a large house with blue bricks and tiles at once? If the house is built solidly, you can live longer."

Xu Wanning laughed helplessly.

Is it because she doesn't want to?

Of course it’s because no one in the village knows it!

Moreover, their commune does not yet have a tile factory, so if you want to buy bricks or tiles, you have to go to another commune.

It would be okay if the weather got warmer, but now it's freezing cold and the snow on the ground is as deep as a thumb. It's not easy to pull the bricks back.

In addition, their time is limited, so if they want to move into a new house before the Chinese New Year, it is most convenient to choose this kind of old-fashioned house.

In a few years, if Mother Lin becomes more nostalgic and wants to return to her roots and live in Dajiang Village, Xu Wanning will arrange for someone to build a better house on the existing foundation.

It was night, Xu Wanning and Xu's mother were lying side by side on the bed.

The bed was only one and a half meters wide, and the mother and daughter were very close to each other, leaning against each other for warmth.

"Aning, tell mom honestly, did my sudden visit like this bring you a lot of inconvenience?"

"No, really not. I'm just worried about you. Even I can't adapt to the climate in the Black Province. I'm worried about you getting sick."

"It doesn't matter, I just need to wear thicker clothes."

"Mom, how long do you plan to stay?"

After Xu Wanning asked, Xu's mother fell silent.

After a long while, she spoke quietly, "I just came here, and you want to drive me away?"

"No, no, of course not. How could I drive you away? I just asked so that I could prepare in advance."

After saying that, Xu Wanning raised her hand and slapped herself, "Look at my mouth. Why can't I speak? Mom, don't be angry. I really didn't mean to drive you away, I just..."

"Whether you mean it or not, I tell you, I won't leave. I won't leave until after the New Year."

"what did you say?"

Xu Wanning suddenly sat up from the bed and was lifted off along with the quilt.

The sudden cold air made Xu's mother hurriedly hug her arms tightly, her heart as cold as her body.

Sure enough, her sudden arrival caused a lot of trouble for Aning.

Otherwise, just stay for two days and go back?

Before she could make a decision, she was hugged by Xu Wanning.

"Mom, do you really want to stay here to celebrate the New Year with me?"

"Probably...right?"

"Great!" Xu Wanning rested her head on Xu's mother's shoulder: "Twenty minutes before you came, my mother-in-law told me that we would set off back to Beijing on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. She wanted me to Celebrate the New Year with you.”

"What did I say at that time? I think the Chinese New Year is no different from the usual festivals, and it doesn't have to be a reunion. But when you just told me that you wanted to stay and celebrate the New Year with me, My heart was filled with joy, as if it was filled all of a sudden.”

"Mom, I don't know how to describe my current mood, but I am very happy. Really, besides being happy, I also feel very moved and very happy."

Because she is a loved child.

Her mother-in-law will think from her perspective and make decisions from her perspective.

Her mother even traveled thousands of miles to a completely unfamiliar place just to celebrate the New Year with her.

It takes lots and lots of love.

And she is a child surrounded by love.

And Xu's mother was already in tears listening to Xu Wanning's words.

She had had a frank talk with Xu Wanning a long time ago. She knew that this body belonged to her daughter, but the soul in her body was that of a different person.

But for Xu's mother, she had long believed that Xu Wanning was her biological child. One daughter spent the first half of her life with her, and the other daughter spent the second half of her life with her.

Especially, when she thought of her current daughter, who was an orphan who had no one to love her, her heart felt as if it had been pinched so hard by an invisible hand, the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Her daughter, her baby bump, should be loved and loved.

"But Mom, you are here to celebrate the New Year with me. What should my dad, my brother, and Maoning do?"

"Your dad is dealing with something important recently. He said that in a week at most, he and your brother will be able to handle the matter at hand, and they will come over then. As for Maoning, he is now waiting for Yuan Xin. "

"You know, Yuan Xin broke up with her parents' family, so she doesn't have to think about returning to her parents' family during the Chinese New Year. She heard that I was coming to Dajiang Village and originally wanted to come with me, but the charity organization has too many things and is too busy recently. She can't leave for a while, and she said that if all the important things can be taken care of before the year, she will come back with Maoning."

At that time, their family will celebrate the New Year in Dajiang Village.

As for the eldest aunt and the second aunt, Xu's mother didn't say anything, and Xu Wanning didn't ask.

After all, the eldest brother is getting married. On such an important occasion as the Chinese New Year, he always has to go to his mother-in-law's house. It is definitely impossible to come to Dajiang Village during the Chinese New Year. The wedding of the third brother and sister Jingjing is also coming soon. The eldest aunt spends all day doing nothing but work and taking care of her. In addition to the grandson, I also have to take care of the wedding, so I can't find time.

The second aunt's family, the second sister-in-law Zhang Wenting, was pregnant and couldn't eat or sleep well, so she didn't even consider traveling such a long distance.

Mainly, she wanted to come, but no one in the family agreed.

Not to mention the fourth brother, as a doctor, especially a pediatrician, he only has a few days of rest every year during the New Year. From Beijing to Dajiang Village, it takes six or seven days just to make this trip. , it delays all the vacation time, which is not cost-effective.

"By the time dad and my brother come, our new home will probably be built, and we will have a place to live."

When building a new house, she had to tell the village chief to let the old craftsmen in the village experiment with the new house to see if they could make a kang.

In this case, even parents who cannot bear the severe cold can stay in Dajiang Village.

At worst, I won’t go out.

"Mom really won't cause you any trouble?"

"How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy. But Mom, I may be a little busy recently. I have to contact the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Heilongjiang Province about hybrid rice, so I may not be able to accompany you these days. .”

"It doesn't matter. Mom, when the time comes, take a walk and take a look. See what the place where you have lived for several years is like."

In the dead of night, Xu Wanning and Xu's mother cuddled each other and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Xu's mother was woken up by the smell.

"What does this smell like? It smells so good."

"This is the specialty of our Heilongjiang province, pork stewed with vermicelli."
