Chapter 94： The kindness of Northeastern mothers.

"The two children are so good-looking, they are so beautiful and tender." Liu Shufeng finally embraced the grandson and granddaughter that she longed for.

Now she has children and grandchildren under her knees.

, this year followed by buying a lot of agricultural machinery and fertilizers.

"Xiaoman, when you didn't see that heading, there were so many, everyone was happy, and it was unbearable. After waiting for a while, everyone was full, It's not empty millet, and when it's time to harvest the grain, it's all white rice..."

"We all knew that good fertilization would definitely lead to high yields, but we don't know what kind of fertilizers that have been newly researched by the country, and the yields can be so much higher..."

"Good water, good fertilizer, and high yields of anything."

…

Su Xiaoman smiled and listened to her mother talk about the village, thinking that this is also a kind of Matthew effect, entering a good cycle mode, and life is getting better and better.

In the past, I had no money, and I stumbled on everything. I was reluctant to fertilize, and I dared not use new seeds. In the end, the grain yield was not high, and everyone’s income was low. Fertilize and irrigate the fields, take good care of the fields, and the grain output will continue to rise. Everyone's dividends at the end of the year will be higher, and their enthusiasm will naturally be higher.

"The girls from the nearby production teams all want to marry into our village." Liu Shufeng said while teasing her little granddaughter Yaoyao with a rattle.

Inkstone, a small stone, crawled around her mother, her little arms and calves were particularly strong, Su Xiaoman couldn't stop it, she just watched from the side to prevent him from knocking touch.

A whole crazy stone.

"Where is our third brother?"

Now the eldest brother and the second brother are married, and only the third brother has not moved.

Liu Shufeng shook her head, "Your third brother saw a lot of girls' homes. He didn't like any of them, and he didn't know what he liked. He said he had to find them by himself."

Su Xiaoman persuaded Liu Shufeng to relax: "Third brother is someone who has his own ideas, maybe he will bring you a powerful daughter-in-law in the future."

Wait a year or two for the economy to open up. With the temperament of the third brother Su, he will definitely go out and make a fortune, and now he is not willing to start a family.

Liu Shufeng waved her hand, "I don't want a powerful daughter-in-law, give me something gentle."

"The one from the second family is already powerful enough."

"The girls in the city have a big temper."

Second brother Su married a female worker who also worked in the factory. The parents of the female worker were also from the county. They had units, so they didn't think much of their home, so they went back with them. In the village, it is natural to find faults here, and there is also dissatisfaction.

"Let's do it, as long as they have a good life as husband and wife."

"You children have fallen behind, I am a mother naturally relieved."

Su Xiaoman nodded, and then caught Comrade Xie Yan, who was still crawling around, Xiao Shitou struggled in his mother's arms for a while, and suddenly felt hungry again, so He compromised, lay flat, and stopped crawling.

I said that I was hungry.

"Like his father, he eats a lot, and he eats more milk than his sister. After eating milk, he has to eat complementary food for a while. Crawling around."

Liu Shufeng coaxed Xiao Yaoyao in her arms: "It's like this for children."

"You were like that too."

"But when you were young, you had many older brothers, and several older brothers rushed to hug you."

…

"My sister should be a lot better, she'll be happy when someone hugs her, and she likes to see her mother."

In the summer of 1977, there were rumors that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and such remarks were rampant, no matter it was the student workers in the city or the educated youth in the countryside.

Su Xiaoman has long known about the resumption of the college entrance examination this time, but she does not plan to take the college entrance examination. She has already attended college once, and it is not interesting to read it again. good.

In October, the news of the college entrance examination that was determined to be taken was completely announced, and all of a sudden, there was an endless stream of people who went to bookstores to buy textbooks and tutoring materials.

Because I heard that a few people in the song and dance troupe wanted to take the college entrance examination and had no time to buy reference materials, Su Xiaoman gave a copy of the review materials sorted out by Xie Mingtu and asked them to take them home and transcribe them .

This information is very valuable, and Xie Mingtu won the honorary title of "good brother-in-law in the group".

Don't say, there were a lot of people who passed the test in the end. By the end of the year, Su Xiaoman received a thank you gift from many people.

There are all kinds of sugar cakes, and there are many children's toys, which can make Yaoyao children play every day.

At the end of the year, Jiang Leiyan, the second brother Jiang, came to visit, but he stayed with them for half a month, and he didn't meet his future partner. He didn't call everyone, and finally left angrily .

"I will come again next year, and it is impossible for me to be an old bachelor?!"

Jiang Yantang was admitted to a liberal arts university in the capital. After meeting Xie Mingtu and his wife, he didn't say anything, just like a stranger, saying "Have you eaten yet? ate" and such nonsense.

Xie Mingtu was jealous afterwards. He studied like Jiang Sanjie and pressed Su Xiaoman to the corner to kiss.

Su Xiaoman kicked him several times.

Jiang Yantang asked a few news about Zhang Lili, Su Xiaoman told him that Zhang Lili was married, and Liu Shufeng told her the news, saying that Zhang Lili met a military comrade who returned to the county. , The two fell in love and got married soon, and now they are pregnant with children.

"I met the right person, everything is fast."

Liu Shufeng and Su Guodong stayed in the capital for more than half a month. Su Xiaoman took them to various famous places. When the couple went back, they brought a lot of local specialties.

Of course, in the eyes of Liu Shufeng and his wife, these specialties are not treasures, the treasures are the photos they left.

Can't wait to go back to the village to show off.

Days passed by with the flow of water. By the end of 1978, Xie Mingtu completed his studies ahead of schedule and went to study in a city flight school in the northeast. Su Xiaoman stayed in the capital with his two children until the summer of 1980. At the end, Xie Mingtu was transferred to an aerospace research unit in the capital.

Su Xiaoman took the two children to the northeast by train to visit his father, and by the way, returned to the capital together.

These two children are almost four years old, and they are so big that they are a headache.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws."

"I made it for you a few days ago, don't you want to eat it?"

"But now I want to eat..."

The former little stone and the current Xie Yan child, but only four years old, he is already a demon king, not only the grandparents dislike, even the dog at home dislikes, secretly gave the rhubarb to Jiang grandma Trimming the hair made Rhubarb turn autistic, lying at the door of the house like an eggplant beaten by Frost.

Grandpa Jiang wants to take Rhubarb out for a walk. Rhubarb is ashamed and reluctant to go out to meet his old dog friends, so that he runs around in the yard every day and becomes a house dog with fur.

They still have a cat at home, and the cat is afraid of him, and dare not provoke the stone king, if he sees him, he will run away. The confession is obviously hoping that he will not provoke himself.

It's just that there are three dead mice on it, the Stone King is not very satisfied.

Xie Yan pouted in disgust: "..."

He doesn't eat mice.

In the 1980s, now the economy has opened up, and every household has a lot more grain than before, which also led to a problem. The rat in the courtyard was called the king. Unwilling to patronize, and now people's rations are solved, and the mice are fattened.

Not only was the rat fatter, but it was also much more courageous, and even dared to hop on the roof during the day, making the old lady in the house jump with anxiety.

"It's another **** rat."

"Ha, went to Chen's house again."

"Don't come to our house, Lao Sun's family has enough rice."

Therefore, many people have cats at home, and the rat infestation in the courtyard is even more serious. In the past two years, the economy has been liberalized, the production teams of the past have disappeared, and farmers are no longer constrained in the countryside. On the land of China, cities of all sizes across the country are now full of people, and cities are gradually expanding. Family planning has also begun.

As soon as you go out, the place is full of people.

Many people flocked into the city, and now there are more households in the large courtyard. A courtyard is good for seven or eight households, and some have ten or so households. Rats also like such crowded houses. Small family, live with everyone.

Eat a hundred grains, one day one day, another one tomorrow, some lazy mice stay in the lazy man's house completely, sharing a room with the owner of this house and rice jars.

The mice in Su Xiaoman's yard are not very serious, because there are several evil stars living in the house, and their cat and mouse skills are very strong to catch mice, and there are dogs in rhubarb who catch mice Her eldest cub, Comrade Xie Yan, inherited her father's physique and talent, with accurate eyes, high natural agility, and walked quietly like a little ghost, suddenly raised the little mouse's tail, and even The timid mouse would be startled by him.

The mice in the north were already small enough, and their tails were short enough to be precisely caught by this little guy.

That's it, the cat in the family made a confession to Comrade Xiao Shitou, and Comrade Xie Yanxiao of his family confessed to Comrade Su Xiaoman: "Mom! What do you think I caught?! For you …”

Su Xiaoman: "...%%￥...*￥%..."

The little rock ran towards her with a mouse.

It should have been a very touching scene, but Comrade Su Xiaoman didn't want this cub at that moment.

Although Xie Yan was born with a strong physique and high agility, he was still a three or four year old child. Because he was too excited to carry a mouse, he jumped forward and fell, and his hands The little mouse followed.

Su Xiaoman could only watch the broken cub fall and the mouse in her hand crashed into her arms, she screamed and slapped it away, just about to run over to pick up the broken cub.

He was about to turn over and run into the corner of the wall, but was grabbed by the broken cub with his short tail.

The upside-down little mouse "Haw" struggled for a few times, but it struggled, and could only straighten its body and pretend to die.

Rats have a hard time.

It may regret not running through the door.

"Mom, look, I caught a mouse." Comrade Xie Yan was very happy, and his short hand shook the little gray thing.

Su Xiaoman: "…"

Su Xiaoman only felt scared at this time, because he was afraid that his unreliable little hand would throw the mouse out again.

She wants to get rid of the mouse with this cub.

Scourge!

"Mom, I want to eat braised pork tonight." Xie Yan looked at her expectantly.

Su Xiaoman shook his head indifferently: "No."

It is my mother's kindness not to give you a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

"But you will reward Sanhua for catching mice, and return it to Xiaoyu... What about me?!"

Su Xiaoman: "..." I don't want to raise a son who is dedicated to catching mice for braised pork.

I'm afraid that he will go to other people's house to do things after arresting his own house for braised pork.

It made it difficult for her to explain to others.

"No is no."

Xie Yan, who was carrying the mouse, was extremely disappointed, "Then I'll show it to my sister."

I finally got some treasure. As a good brother, I will definitely share it with my dear sister.

Su Xiaoman took him back and warned the cub: "If you scare your sister into tears, you will coax her yourself."

"You will be responsible for as long as she cries."

Xie Yan: "...Mom, why don't you give me a younger brother."

"Isn't my sister okay?"

"My sister doesn't dare to catch mice, she is even afraid of earthworms, and she doesn't dare to touch small snails..." Xie Yan felt that her sister was really boring. He grabbed it back to play with his sister, and said that two snails would race.

As a result, my sister didn't even dare to touch the snail, and even went to her mother to complain.

Su Xiaoman pinched his little face that resembled Xie Mingtu, and was at a loss for words in his heart, thinking that if Xie Mingtu grew up in the compound, he would be such a nuisance.

This kid is very smart and has a good memory. He remembers everything he says.

She really wanted to throw this brat to Xie Gouzi.

"Dare you say that in front of your sister?"

Xie Yan shook his head. Although he liked to tease his sister, he was also afraid of her crying.

Hey, I couldn't fool the meat anyway. Little Xie Yan honestly handed over the mouse and happily continued to play in the yard, Su Xiaoman grabbed his little arm , pressing him to wash his hands.

Sending away this little evil star, Su Xiaoman suddenly understood Jiang Sanjie very well at this moment, thinking that she was able to mix among several brothers, she must be able to shock them.

And what about their little Yaoyao?

At this moment, it was as she wished, and it grew into a soft and intimate little padded jacket.

Xie Yan ran away, and a cute little girl in a fan skirt ran out from behind the door. She had red lips and white teeth, big eyes, and a soft voice. She ran to Su Xiaoman's leg. At the side, he called her in a soft voice, "Mom."

Su Xiaoman picked up the little padded jacket and kissed her on the face, a good daughter would be more soothing.

After Xie Yao smiled happily, she was about to push Su Xiaoman away. She was going to find her brother, "I want my brother."

Take a look, even if he was scared to cry several times, he still stuck to Xie Yan's **** without repentance.

Su Xiaoman doesn't know whether her daughter is bold or cowardly.

Her daughter is like that, although I am afraid that I will cry, but I will dare to go next time... Screaming Warrior.

Crying while poking at the caterpillar caught by my brother with a stick.

When she dug up earthworms, she was so frightened that she screamed and turned pale.

Xie Yan, who has high agility, may not be able to catch her at this time.

The little girl has a strong explosive ability.

Professional brother.

Her daughter has done a lot of feats, but she is still so weak.

—It is estimated that she will not look like Jiang Sanjie.

Only looks like Su Xiaoman.

…

Su Xiaoman felt that she was not like her daughter when she was a child, and she didn't know who she looked like. Could it be that she and Xie Mingtu's hybrid Xiao Yaoyao?

In short, Su Xiaoman is now taking two troublesome little guys to the northeast to pick up their father and go home, and the whole family goes on a trip.

Just arrived at the train station, and the two little boys saw others buying the ice-sugar haws at the entrance of the train station, and they also said they wanted it.

Su Xiaoman thought stupid, you don't eat the ice-sugar gourd in the old alley, but you have to come to eat near the train station, this is a one-time transaction.

However, there is a lot of traffic here, that is, many people have candied fruit in their hands, and they are greedy and want it.

Su Xiaoman just went to buy them a bunch, went to change a small paper bowl, pulled the rock candied haws into the small paper bowl for them, and ate them with a spoon.

These two cubs didn't want to eat after eating a few.

"It's not delicious, it's not as good as what my mother made."

Su Xiaoman brought them on the train together, afraid that they would still want to eat on the way. The three bought sleeper tickets. Su Xiaoman carried the two children to the bed, gave them building blocks, and asked them to sit on it and play.

If she is not honest, she also has a way to treat them, Su Xiaoman reported the name of the dish to them both, "Sit on it obediently, and when you get off the train and see your father, I will take you to the restaurant to eat grilled chicken wings and pot buns. Meat, Braised Pork Ribs, Shrimp Tofu, Pine Nuts and Corn…”

Xie Yan and Xie Yao nodded together.

Mom don't say it anymore, if you say it, you will be hungry on the road.

I was hungry on the road and could only eat the lunch box on the train, which was not as delicious as the cooking of my mother and Grandpa Guan.

"If you don't obey, let's go to Dad's school cafeteria to eat steamed buns with pickles."

Their children are very smart. Knowing that their mother has always said no one, they will definitely do something to bring them both to eat steamed buns.

With my dad by my side, I can’t eat without eating.

Instead of eating steamed buns and pickles, let’s go to a restaurant.

Hanging carrots in front of the two little wild donkeys, Su Xiaoman felt relieved for a while, and waited to dump the child to their father.

With the father of the child, neither of them can escape.
