Chapter 83 letter from the capital

Here, the mother and daughter went to bed until the early hours of the morning, while the father-in-law and son-in-law didn’t talk so much.

As soon as Father Lin went downstairs, he saw Zong Shao came in with two lunch boxes on top of which were a few fried dough sticks wrapped in oil paper, and asked, “Did you go out to buy breakfast?”

“I bought it from a state-run hotel, did Mom and Weiwei get up?” Zong Shao asked.

“The mother and daughter were definitely going to talk last night. They won’t get up so early today.” Father Lin noticed that Zong Shao was not wearing a military jacket and asked, “Do you have to go to the military camp today?”

“Well, it’s almost time.”

Father Lin said, “I don’t know when they will get up. Just go up and knock on the door.”

Zong Shao responded, strode upstairs, stood in front of the master bedroom, and knocked on the door.

Soon, Mother Lin’s voice came from inside: “Who is it?”

“Mom, it’s me, can I come in and find some clothes.”

After a short pause inside, Mother Lin turned her body up, as if she had just woken up: “Come in.”

Zong Shao pushed open the door and went in. The front and back curtains were drawn inside, and the light was a little dim. He didn’t look at the bed, but went straight to the closet to open it to find clothes.

“Do you usually go out at this time?” Mother Lin asked suddenly.

Zong Shao said, “Almost.”

“Are you coming back for lunch?”

“I usually eat at the camp at noon and leave work at six o’clock in the afternoon.” Zong Shao put on his military jacket and said while buttoning up, “Mom, I’m leaving, there is breakfast on the table, remember to eat it when you wake up.”

“You also went to buy breakfast?” Mother Lin asked in surprise, “Do you usually buy breakfast?”

Zong Shao said honestly: “Recently.”

Mother Lin remembered what her grandson said yesterday and looked a little embarrassed. She changed her mind and said, “Go to work quickly and be careful on the road.”

Zong Shao thanked him and went downstairs with the door buttoned.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Mother Lin fell into deep thought.

Although she didn’t watch Zong Shao grow up, she and her mother grew up. Even though they didn’t contact so frequently for many years, their friendship has not changed. So after Zong Shao’s mother returned to Shicheng, the two quickly became acquainted and had frequent exchanges.

Before deciding to make the baby real, Mother Lin met Zong Shao several times at a friend’s house and knew whether he was a filial child or a soldier, very promising and very satisfied with him.

Therefore, when the grandmother mentioned the matter of the two children, she agreed without thinking about it for too long. Although she thought that her daughter was good in everything, but their family was under these conditions, the marriage could be accomplished, and her daughter was considered a high-ranking daughter.

It’s just that after her friend passed away, seeing her daughter going to work alone and taking care of her children, she often felt regretful in her heart, wondering if she could find a local person for her, even if the conditions were not so good, would her life be easier for her.

But sometimes looking at the mess in the cotton mill’s courtyard and other homes, she thinks Zong Shao is better.

When the news of Zong Shaosheng’s deputy battalion came back, she was very happy for a while, and felt that her daughter had come after all her hardships. But when Lin Wei really came to join the army, she couldn’t help but worry. She was afraid that the conditions on the island would be difficult, and that her daughter would have to endure hardship with her.

Although the niece writes well in the letter she sends home every time, she is always at a loss if she doesn’t see it with her own eyes.

Therefore, as soon as she received the letter from Lin Wei asking them to come to the island for Chinese New Year, she decided not to spend the year in her hometown.

Her man was reluctant at first, thinking that the New Year was so important, how could the old shígG be able to travel far, what about the New Year’s Eve dinner, and what to do with ancestor worship? Also, he is the secretary of the brigade. Without him, what would the brigade do?

She was impatient to listen to the man and said she wanted to come by herself, but he still refused, saying that she hadn’t traveled far for decades and didn’t know how to read, so don’t get lost, she was so angry that she wanted to **** him one.

Not only was he unwilling, his son and daughter-in-law were also unwilling, especially the eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law was reluctant, not because of her father-in-law’s concerns, but because she had an opinion on her sister-in-law. As for why she had an opinion on her sister-in-law, the source was still in Lin Wei’s work.

Although the military sister-in-law has a job in her hometown, and the military level can be transferred to her husband’s work unit, but it is not easy to do it, because there must be a unit in the place where the army is stationed.

But there are few job opportunities on the island, and the military sister-in-law who is already with the army cannot be accommodated. How can any unit accept her in a short period of time? I’m really waiting for the adjustment, and I don’t know what year and month she will be able to leave.

In this way, there is not necessarily a resignation here, and it is reliable to go to the place and wait for the arrangement.

Therefore, as soon as Zong Shao’s letter asking for leave arrived, Lin Wei started to prepare to sell the job. And because Zong Shao has no relatives (his father doesn’t count), and Lin Wei has a good relationship with her parents’ family, she told her mother about this first, and asked her to ask her brother-in-law if she wanted to, so Lin’s mother went with the two. The son brought this up.

Both sons want the job, but they want it in different ways and for different purposes.

The second son and his wife planned to buy out the job from Lin Wei at the market price, and the second daughter-in-law would take the job. Although she has a job, she is a temporary worker and is unstable with less money and more work. The benefits of the unit are better in all aspects.

The husband and wife of the eldest son wanted to play the card of favor and bought out the job for the younger brother of the eldest daughter-in-law at one-third of the market price. As for the reason, the eldest son finally became the team leader and wanted to continue to develop into the brigade headquarters, while the daughter-in-law said that the city was too far from home, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth.

Mother Lin had no problem with the eldest son and daughter-in-law asking for this job, but she was very opposed to their calculus, so she turned around and discussed with her daughter, asking her to sell the job to the second son and his wife.

So, her daughter-in-law here hated her daughter. At one time, she felt that her daughter was open-minded when she saw money, and she didn’t even care about love. At another time, she felt that her daughter was close to the second sister-in-law but not her, and suspected that the younger brother and his wife did not give the market price at all. It was used to prevaricate her.

In short, it has been more than half a year since the incident, and her eldest daughter-in-law still has a lot of opinions on her daughter-in-law, so after receiving the letter, her first reaction was to object to their going out.

It was good that she didn’t object, but once she objected, Father Lin became unhappy, and changed his mind and said that he would go to his daughter-in-law’s New Year’s with his daughter-in-law.

In short, after going around, the couple still came together, but one was to add obstacles to the son and daughter-in-law, so that they would know who is in charge of the family, and the other was to see if the daughter was doing well.

…

In the next few days, Lin Wei took her parents around the family area, took her mother to Chaihai, and took her father to the reef to catch fish.

Then, the old couple was quickly caught by chasing the sea and fishing. One morning, they took their daughter to catch the sea at dawn, and the other asked her daughter to accompany him to go fishing after lunch.

So in the next few days, Lin Wei never slept in a day or a nap again, and she never lacked seafood.

There are a lot of people like Lin Wei’s parents who go fishing every day. First, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the control on this aspect has been relaxed. Second, because there are many elderly people in the family area who come to visit relatives, they have to find something for themselves. Do.

After a few days, the old couple also met a lot of friends. Without taking Lin Wei to catch the sea and fishing, Lin Wei was able to sleep until she woke up naturally.

The only problem is that her mother went to the sea early and came back early. When she entered the house, she saw her yawning and came downstairs, and she couldn’t help but ask, “You didn’t wake up until now?”

As soon as she heard this, Lin Wei knew that her mother would talk, and explained, “I rarely have a vacation, so of course I have to sleep late.”

Mother Lin knew that her daughter was used to it, but she still said a few words, and finally pointed to her grandson who was playing outside and said, “Mr. Ruirui is more diligent than you.”

Lin Wei thought to herself that they were diligent because they were not dragged by you and Dad to go fishing in the sea.

But she also knew that if she dared to say this, her own mother would definitely go on and on, so she said against her heart, “I must get up early tomorrow.”

Mother Lin was quite satisfied with her daughter’s attitude. After her face turned bright, she talked about her harvest today: “Today, I caught two abalones, which are so big.” She went out and showed Lin Wei the abalone she caught.

It was indeed a little bigger than what I usually bought, so Lin Wei praised the venue a few times.

Mother Lin said happily: “I’ll soak these seafood, you can make it at night, and the abalone will do as last time.”

“You didn’t say the taste was normal last time.” Lin Wei asked.

Mother Lin said solemnly, “I bought it last time, but this time I caught it, how can it be the same!”

Lin Wei: “…” Well, it’s still a matter of money.

After brushing their teeth and having breakfast, Lin Wei and her daughter went to the vegetable market together, bought some vegetables, weighed some pork, and saw that there was some pig intestines left, and they were rounded up.

As soon as she saw it, Mother Lin asked, “Why are you buying this? It’s not delicious.” No one in Shicheng eats pig intestines, because it’s hard to handle, and it’s hard to swallow.

But Lin Wei is very confident: “Mom, don’t worry, what I make is definitely delicious.”

Mother Lin didn’t quite believe it: “Are you sure?”

“Really, after I came to the island, I learned a few tricks from other military wives, and now I can deal with the fat intestines.” Lin Wei said while patting her chest.

The daughter is so confident, and Mother Lin can’t object anymore, just let her go.

After half an hour, Mother Lin regretted it, because she saw Lin Wei washing her fat intestines with flour!

Flour!

That’s fine grain!

Poor boy!

Mother Lin was so angry that she scolded that her daughter would not be able to live. Lin Wei lowered her head and let her mother scold her. Seeing that she was tired, she handed her a cup of tea and said, “You moisten your throat.”

Mother Lin: “…”

She was scolded like nothing else. What energy did she have, rubbing her forehead and asking, “Do you often eat pig intestines like this?”

Lin Wei said: “It’s not very often, you don’t know, pigs are very popular in our family area, and we can’t buy them if we go late. We were just lucky today, and we only encountered some leftover pig intestines.”

In fact, if you don’t sleep in on Sunday, you can still buy it if you go early, but Lin Wei didn’t dare to say this, for fear of being scolded.

Mother Lin remembered that she went to the vegetable market a few days ago and did not see the pigs going into the water. After believing her daughter’s words, she couldn’t help but mutter: “You people here will not be able to live anymore. Who would have thought of washing the pig farm with flour? Ideas? You waste food so much, and Xiao Zong didn’t tell you?”

Lin Wei said, “No, and he washed the pig intestines before.”

Mother Lin understood, this is two people who can’t live together, maybe her daughter is stronger, she continued to rub her head and said, “Go back to work, I won’t help.” Seeing her Skull pain.

The pig’s large intestine was washed and it was not done immediately. Because Zong Shao hadn’t had a holiday yet, their family still had a hearty meal at night, and made do with it at noon.

Lin Wei fried a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, spread out a leek egg pancake, and some clams that her mother picked up. She picked a part of it and fried it… It didn’t seem too good to count.

After eating and drinking, Father Lin went fishing again, while Lin Wei and her daughter sat in the yard chatting and basking in the sun.

Chatting and chatting, there was a bicycle bell ringing outside, Lin Wei looked up and looked outside the courtyard wall, and saw a postman riding a bicycle coming out of the alley, braked the car and asked, “A letter from the capital, did you return it directly? ?”

“Is it still sent by someone before?” Lin Wei asked as she walked to the courtyard wall, took the letter and glanced at it. It was the address of the military compound, and the name was the same, so she handed it to the postman and said, “Please help me. Go back.”

The postman often delivered letters to the family area, and the package sent by Mother Lin was also picked up by him, and he was familiar with Lin Wei. Hearing this, he laughed and said, “You guys are also interesting, you keep sending letters without looking at them. return to!”

“Please make this trip.” Lin Wei said.

The postman said: “I don’t care, anyway, I have to come to you every once in a while, just because I feel bad about money. I think, if you really don’t want the other party to send a letter, just reply a letter and tell them not to send it. The postage is not cheap.”

Lin Wei smiled and didn’t speak, changed the subject and asked, “Are you still at work today?”

Talking about this topic, the postman cheered up and said, “The last day.”

“Congratulations.” Lin Wei smiled, thinking about it and adding, “Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year.”

After the postman finished speaking, he turned the bicycle around and stepped away quickly. Lin Wei shook her head and smiled, and as soon as she turned around, she heard her mother ask, “What letter from the capital?”

“Just a person I don’t know very well.” Lin Wei said.

“Don’t coax me, I have heard what that guy said. What kind of unfamiliar people often write letters to you? You guys go back without even reading?” Mother Lin asked, “What’s going on?”

Lin Wei pursed her lips, thought for a moment after returning to her seat, then raised her head and asked, “Mom, do you know why Zong Shao’s parents divorced?”

“Why are you asking this?”

Like every time Lin Wei asked about those things in the past, Mother Lin’s first reaction was to ask back, but as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered what the postman said just now.

That letter was sent from the capital.

“Is the letter sent by Zong Shao’s father?” Mother Lin’s face changed suddenly, and she asked again before Lin Wei could answer, “He still has the face to write to you!”
