Bring the refrigerator back to seventy

In the evening, the grandparents and grandchildren are preparing the croquettes for tomorrow in the kitchen.Grandpa Wu picked up the minced meat with his right hand, and with a little skill, the round and even meatballs jumped into the prepared hot water.

After being baptized by hot water, each one floated up.With quick eyes and hands, Wu Yun scooped up the floating meatballs with her claws, gently spread them on the shallow oil pan and rolled them several times.The freshly fried meatballs are crispy and full of meaty fragrance.Wu Tong, who has been in the kitchen to watch from time to time since Master Wu Yun started preparing the croquettes, jumped up and down endlessly.

"Junzi, hurry up and give your uncle a taste."

Wu Jun looked at this innocent child, took a bowl and filled several of them for him to take out to eat.

"Grandpa, it's almost dark, why is there no one from Shanbo looking for Uncle Xiaotong?"

"After frying the balls later, you send your little uncle back. By the way, let's see what's going on? Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and you still don't come to pick up the children so late. You have to wait until 12 o'clock in the evening. , It’s not good to waste time.” Grandpa Wu also cherishes Xiaotong, a younger brother who is a little younger than his grandson, after all, he is young and his parents have passed away.

After making the croquettes, Wu Jun led Xiao Tong home.Along the way, the children no longer had the happy look of eating meat during the day, and they walked with a reluctant face.Noticing the child's appearance, Wu Jun asked softly, "Uncle Xiaotong, what's the matter? Are you hungry?"

"Junzi, can I not go to my brother's house? I don't want to go back." The child said aggrievedly that he didn't want to go back.

"Usually, you can stay at my house as long as you want. But today is New Year's Eve, and the whole family has to stay at home to watch the new year. So, if you come to my house to play tomorrow, how about I give you a lot of rice cracker candies?" Wu Jun coaxed patiently.

"But, but my sister-in-law said, that's not my home. She told me not to go back, they will have their own baby, and I won't eat meat in the future." coming down.

When Wu Yun heard this, something was wrong.Because, Xiaotong is an old man.His parents were very old and passed away early. It can almost be said that he was brought up by his elder brother and sister-in-law.It hurts him to watch it.It stands to reason that even if the couple wants to have their own child now, it is impossible to say that they will not raise this little brother.

"Don't be afraid. I'll take you back and ask Shanbo. If they really don't want you, you can go back with me. Is that okay?" Wu Jun discussed with the child.

When Wu Tong heard this, he wiped away his tears and nodded.

When I arrived at the gate of Wu Shan's house, I found several villagers standing around their house, all talking in whispers.There were quarrels coming from the door.

"Wu Shan, let me tell you, I am worthy of your old Wu family. Isn't Xiaotong raised by me with shit and urine? Back then, after so many years of marriage and no baby, you said you should treat your brother well. When you are old, you can take care of yourselves. Well, I can’t have a baby myself, I admit it. Now God has pity on me and made me pregnant. The good things at home will stick to me.” Mrs. Wu’s voice was sharp, and the nearby Neighbors were drawn over.

"Didn't I just say I'm going to pick up my brother? What are you so excited about?" Wu Shan said helplessly.

"He is so old, won't he go home by himself? You need to pick him up? When I was his age, I could work in the fields to earn work points."

While talking, he continued with his flat belly: "Your son is still in my stomach. Just now your son wanted to eat a chicken leg and refused to let it go, so he insisted on keeping it for your brother. Let me tell you, now we have I have my own son, and I will leave all these good things to our son in the future. When I come back to celebrate the New Year this time, I will leave your brother in the village after the New Year. He is already eight years old and can earn work points by himself. Our money They must keep their sons." Mrs. Wu said confidently.

"I didn't expect Qin Liudi to be such a person! Back then, she was a hen that didn't lay eggs. Originally, the mother of the third baby was going to throw her out of the house, but she knelt down and swore that she couldn't give birth by herself, and she would give birth to her in the future." Raising my son as my own son, so I can go to the city to enjoy the blessings. Now I have a baby, I'm shaking." Neighbor Aunt Chen said with a sigh of relief.

"That's right. I thought it was a good thing to see her take Tongwazi honestly in the past few years. Her stomach is still a piece of meat, so she can't hold Tongwazi anymore." Another old lady echoed.

Wu Jun listened to these really mind-boggling lawsuits, looked at the child's flushed face, and knew that he was too sad.Kneeling down, he picked up the child and knocked on the door: "Shanbo, open the door. I'm Yunzi. I'm sending Uncle Xiaotong back."

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged simple and honest man, his black and red face was actually sweating in this cold weather.

"Junzi, have you eaten yet? The house is a bit messy and hasn't been cleaned up yet." The man didn't seem to be very good at talking, he rubbed his palms together and stood still.

"Uncle Shan, Uncle Shan. Logically, I'm a junior, so it's hard to say whether your elders are good or bad. But for those who celebrate Chinese New Year, you can't leave little uncle out at such a late hour." Wu Jun looked at the fake face Aunt Shan said.

Wu Shan wanted to take over the younger brother in Wu Jun's arms, but the younger brother avoided it by hugging Wu Jun's neck tightly.

"Junzi, you still know that I'm your aunt. No big or small, this is our family business. Since you are sending Xiaotong back, I won't keep you so late."

The neighbors watching at the door hadn't left yet, and they began to accuse Qin Liudi after hearing the words: "Shanbo belongs to her family, you are wrong. This eldest nephew kindly sent your brother back, and he just didn't give people a drink of water, and even sent him out." Hurry up, it’s unreasonable to talk about breaking the sky.”

"That's right. He also said that Xiaotong should be left in the village. He is only eight years old. How can he support himself? It's heartbreaking." Aunt Chen said.

"Bah, you want me to curse you for the Chinese New Year. Why do you outsiders care about our family affairs. Do you know how difficult it is to raise a baby in the city? Xiaotong is not my son, so why continue to raise him. You are so You have a conscience, you should raise it." Qin Liudi probably felt that she was pregnant, her waist was straight, and her face was righteous.

When the onlookers heard that they were going to raise an eight-year-old boy, they immediately fell silent.The folks in the village can help talk about problems.But if you really want to get serious, no one dares to catch up.After all, my own child's stomach can't be filled, let alone someone else's child.

"That's enough, Uncle Shan, you two are my elders, I don't have much to say. I will tell my grandfather about this matter, and then we will see what the elders of our old Wu family say. Stay at my house, there is still room at home." After saying this, he said softly to Wu Tong who was still holding his neck and did not let go: "Uncle, stay at my house for a few days. I will give you Prepare a lot of delicious food."

The child nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Before Wu Shan could say anything to Qin Liudi, Wu Yun left quickly.The onlookers saw that the excitement was almost over, and they also dispersed.
