The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

Early the next morning, Xu Ning received a call from Lu Kang, telling her that there was a junior high school reunion in Yangzhuang today.

Of course, this party is not for people and children. It is also hosted by Lu Kang and Yang Bo. I am going today because I haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years. We want to get together to have a good chat and have a meal. It would be inappropriate to bring children. Of course, the meals are also invited from mobile restaurants in the town. Although mobile restaurants may not sound as decent as going to restaurants, the skills of chefs in mobile restaurants are not worse than those in physical stores. On the contrary, the skills are even better. Otherwise, people would not treat you. What this focuses on is a word of mouth issue.

The two of them paid for the meals, and the mobile restaurant went to the market to buy all kinds of fresh dishes early in the morning, and then they paid the bill together before leaving. Xu Ning's parents planned to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The next day, there will be another mobile banquet in the village. After all, it will be difficult to come back after leaving Xiangshan Village this time. There are no relatives in the village. Even if there are relatives who have not been born in Wufu, the relationship is relatively weak. On the contrary, the relationship between them was not as good as that of people from the same village who lived nearby, and because the Xu family had a difficult life back then, others would bite their tongues and refused to pick up Yu Chunhua, mother and son, and the old lady looked down on those people of the same race, so she had to Fortunately, people of the same clan did not go to the imperial capital to fight against the autumn wind, otherwise the old lady would not know how to drive these people away, so it was already a great honor to treat them to a drinking banquet in the village.

After breakfast, Xu Ning returned to the room. Under Brother Zheng's gaze, he got into the space and rummaged through the closet inside to find the clothes he would wear for today's class reunion. There were of course casual clothes, many dresses, and cheongsams too. A lot. According to the actual situation on a day like today, she would naturally not dress up as if attending a business reception. After all, if she appeared at the class reunion in a glamorous manner, other classmates would only be wearing relatively decent clothes. , but I didn’t know how to look at the occasion, but I rummaged around for a while, and finally put on a lake blue cheongsam. The clothes were too simple to look like, the others were very luxurious, and these were the only ones I usually wear. I wore it twice when I was at home. Even though it had been washed twice, it was decent enough.

After coming out, I sat in front of the mirror and put on light makeup and lipstick. My long black hair was pulled back into a simple but refreshing bun. I instantly lost a lot of age, and my whole person seemed to have recovered from the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The girl from Qingxiang came slowly.

Xu Ning picked up the knitted fringed shawl from the bed, put it on his shoulders, turned it twice in front of Xie Zheng, and said with a bright smile: "Does it look good?"

If she hadn't been wearing lipstick, Xie Zheng would have definitely leaned in for a few kisses.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she raised her hand and pulled him into her arms. Her palms lingered on her slender waist and caressed her twice. "She's beautiful. Ning Ning is the prettiest."

"The mouth is so sweet." Xu Ning's eyebrows curved, she lowered her head and kissed Xie Zheng on the lips, and said with a smile: "The lipstick produced by our company will not fade."

Hearing these words, Xie Zheng's eyes instantly turned hot. He put his palm on Xu Ning's lower back with slight force, pulled her to sit on his lap, clasped the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

Only then did Xu Ning feel that she was like a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth. Her feelings were just because she was worried that her lipstick would lose color.

His overbearing tongue pried open her pink lips, went deep in and danced with her lips and tongue wantonly. His low and unbearable gasps made Xie Zheng's crotch tighten, but he also loosened her when there was movement in the kitchen next door. open.

"I went there today, but be careful not to let other men touch you." Brother Zheng ran his tongue across her lips. The lipstick tasted a little sweet, but looking at it now, she still had flaming red lips. It really doesn't fade.

"Hey, this is too hard for someone. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we can't even shake hands, right?" Xu Ning's slender, shiny fingertips drew circles on her husband's slightly open collar, her eyes as seductive as a demon.

Brother Zheng raised his starry eyes and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you making excuses?"

Xu Ning smiled coquettishly and swiped the tip of her tongue seductively on her red lips, "You're just arrogant. Do you want Brother Zheng to punish me tonight?"

As she spoke, her fingers slowly slid down. Her index finger hooked his belt, and her thumb pressed it down. She heard the man's gasp, which was so sexy that she couldn't control herself. She raised her chest and pressed it down. He took a gentle breath from his Adam's apple.

"Punishment!" The bed outside can't bear it, but it doesn't matter in the space. She will be punished to death tonight. "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"good!"

Xu Rui drove the van to the ancestral grave, and Xie Zheng borrowed a bicycle and took his wife to Yangzhuang.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Yangzhuang Village, a black car stopped in front of them after honking its horn. Then the passenger window rolled down, and Zhang Meng looked at the two of them with a smile.

"It's so sweet, he actually plays a bicycle."

"Let Xu Rui drive away in the borrowed van." Xu Ning heard Xie Zheng put one leg on the ground before jumping out of the back seat, "Brother Zheng, go back first. I'll ask Lu Kang to take me back in the afternoon, so don't come. Pick me up.”

"Okay, then I'm going home." After telling Mr. Xu Ning to drink, Xie Zheng returned on his bicycle.

Opening the car door and sitting in the back seat, the distance from here to Yang Bo's home was just starting from the start. It didn't matter to Xu Ning what he did.

Yang Bo's home is indeed very big, but there is no room for four or five large round tables in the house. He eats in the courtyard at noon. At this time, a tent is set up in the courtyard. The material is like a black plastic fishnet, which can cover the dead leaves and dots. Sunshine is pretty good.

Several cars had been parked in front of Yang Bo's house at this time, all of which were very ordinary economy cars. Zhang Meng's husband owned a car with a price of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, but he did not come here today.

Several people in the courtyard saw another car coming. Yang Bo led a few people out. Seeing that it was Lu Kang and the others, he hurriedly happily invited them in.

"Oh, Lu Kang is so lucky. He actually brought two beauties here. The driver did his job well." Someone joked to Lu Kang.

"Are you envious?" Lu Kang patted the other party on the shoulder, "We haven't seen each other for how many years. Where are you now?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are high or not. I can't compare with you. I just do some small business in our city to support my family."

"Your business is not small, and it is much better than those of us wage earners. Just be satisfied."

"I am quite contented. I have food, drink, children, everything is enough."

A man with silver hair on his head looked at Xu Ning and Zhang Meng and said, "Who would have thought that the beauty who was popular in our school back then would actually reach this level now."

"It's true, Boss Xu, is your company still recruiting people? Can I look after the gate?"

"You went to show me the gate, are you unyielding?" Xu Ning sat down on a chair in the courtyard, looked around, and saw a familiar person, Lu Xuejiao.

Lu Xuejiao was the same age as Xu Ning, but her body had already gained weight. At this time, she was sitting with several women in her village. There were two or three rings of flesh on her lower abdomen. Her skin was dark yellow with spots, her eyes were unfocused, and her eyes were swollen. Large, maybe because the hair has been dyed before. Although it looks well combed, it gives people a dry feeling.

Xu Ning's gaze was noticed there, and after looking at her, she moved away unnaturally.

"Hey, are you Xu Ning?" A woman with a round figure came in. After greeting everyone, she came to Xu Ning and sat down. "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are getting more and more beautiful."

Xu Ning also showed a hint of surprise when he saw the person coming, "Xiaodie?"

"It's me." Lu Xiaodie nodded, "You are amazing. You have been beautiful since you were a child. Look at me. I have aged so fast since I gave birth to two children."

Zhang Meng poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiaodie beside him, "You don't know how to take care of yourself. Xu Ning has three children and has never aged."

"Three?" Lu Xiaodie was also happy for Xu Ning, "Boy or girl?"

"My son is in sixth grade this year, and the two younger ones are also in elementary school. What about your side?"

"I definitely got married earlier than you. My eldest daughter is already in junior high school, and my younger daughter is still in kindergarten." Lu Xiaodie sighed softly, "These days have passed by in a flash, and I have grown old without knowing it. Look When you suddenly feel so scared, won't you be old?"

"Do you think I'm a goblin?" Xu Ning couldn't help laughing, "I rely on cosmetics to maintain my health. Do you think Zhang Meng looks young? You can send the address to my mobile phone later, and I will give it to you when I return to the imperial capital. Send me a set of cosmetics to improve your skin base."

"I have it at home!" Lu Xiaodie was not one to take advantage of others.

Zhang Meng patted Lu Xiaodie's hand on the table, "Xu Ning is in the cosmetics business. Since I told you, don't refuse. If others know that she wants to give away cosmetics for free, they will be crazy with joy. You use After this procedure, your skin will be greatly improved, and you will look ten or eight years younger without any problem.”

"Really?" Lu Xiaodie looked at the two of them expectantly, then took a sip of tea, "To be honest with you two, my husband and I have been married for more than ten years and have given birth to two daughters. Their family also has feelings for me. Opinion, I used to work in the county cultural troupe, but later my eldest daughter went to school and couldn't take care of her at home, so I quit my job and became a housewife at home. The fat on my body started to accumulate little by little, and the weight continued to increase. I also had to carry Young one, I saw that I was a girl before. Although my parents-in-law didn’t say it to my face, they often said that I was useless behind my back. Hey... life was really hard to get through. "

The two of them could only listen to this kind of thing, so why should they blindly divorce Lu Xiaodie and her husband? She herself didn't have this idea. As an old classmate who was not very close, how could she be so naive as to instill that kind of thought into others.

"When your daughter grows up, you will be very lucky." Xu Ning comforted: "In the future, our children can take care of themselves. At least my daughter will not have to prepare a house for them when she gets married, and she can also provide for you and your wife in your old age. What's the point? not good?"

"Yes, I also hope to have another daughter." Zhang Meng agreed.

After being explained away by the two of them, Lu Xiaodie felt much better.

That's right. Her parents-in-law don't like their granddaughters, but as a biological mother, she does. Both children are well-behaved and sensible. Of course, her husband also wants a son in his heart, but he never talks about it, even when the younger daughter was born. , although her husband was a little silent at the time, he didn't say anything unpleasant. He still took good care of her during the confinement period. She may have felt a little guilty before, but she has become much more comfortable in the past two years. The eldest daughter's academic performance is very good. There will definitely be success in the future.

Junior high school classmates came in one after another, and dozens of people quickly gathered in the courtyard, both men and women. They were all about to graduate to their fourth grade, but their mental outlooks were quite different.

Among them are some who hang out with Xu Ning in shopping malls, and a few who have entered government agencies after graduating from college. Most of them work part-time or farm at home, so Xu Ning is not happy to attend such a long class reunion. , getting together is nothing more than all kinds of comparisons, or flattery, which is boring.

It was also because of Lu Kang's face that Xu Ning came over for a walk. She didn't care what others thought of her, and she couldn't just get up and leave in such an occasion.

There were many people sitting inside and outside the house. They gathered in twos and threes to drink tea and chat. However, they also formed their own temporary small circle in such a short period of time. On Xu Ning's side were Zhang Meng, Lu Xiaodie, and Lu Kang. Also sitting here, Yang Bo, as the main initiator, spent most of his time talking here and there, but he was as busy as a spinning top, but he didn't neglect anyone at all.

Xu Ning always felt that some eyes were always on her. Occasionally, she would look at Lu Xuejiao and those people.

It had been more than twenty years, and Xu Ning couldn't remember much of those things in the past, but she still didn't want to talk to those people.

Lu Xiaodie followed Xu Ning's line of sight and saw the shrinking looks of Lu Xuejiao and others over there. She turned to her and said, "Didn't she marry a man with very good conditions back then..."

"The conditions are very good?" Zhang Meng was dumbfounded. His family only has a little money, so how can he say that the conditions are very good when his personal conditions are very poor.

"I'm talking about good conditions at home." Lu Xiaodie chuckled, "The man she married at that time was also very rich. Not many families had motorcycles at that time."

"Okay, go on."

"Later, she gave birth to three daughters one after another, and her parents-in-law were not happy anymore and made trouble with her every day. She was not one to swallow her anger. As time went by, the two of them divorced. None of the three daughters were left in the husband's family, so they were all given to her. She is still living in her parents' house for ten years. Her parents passed away a few years ago and gave her the old house before they died. Her brothers and sisters-in-law felt uncomfortable and usually I rarely interact with her, and my life is quite difficult."

"I really couldn't see it when I was young. Think about how majestic she was when I was in junior high school. She was always involved in cliques. The seven fairies in the sky were able to get to this level." Zhang Meng said to Lu Xuejiao. These few people didn't have a good impression at all. Even after more than twenty years, they still didn't want to get involved, so they didn't speak or even say hello after entering the door.

Lu Kang sneered beside him and couldn't hold it back. The Seven Fairies thing hasn't gotten over yet?

How shameless he was back then, he is so shameful now, a complete black history.

He popped out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath, "You three didn't join in, did you?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him.

"Thankfully not, otherwise I wouldn't know how to look at you in the future."

Xu Ning didn't say anything, and listened to the chats of several people around him with distracted eyes. He also saw several men and women surrounding a man in a black suit on another table with arrogance in his eyes.

There was such a face in her mind, but she couldn't remember the other person's name.

"That's Ma Dachun. He's doing quite well now. He's in the aquatic products business, and he has villas and cars."

Xu Ning nodded. Lu Xiaodie was very familiar with the affairs of these classmates at home. He probably went home often and heard a lot of news.

At the lunch table, Xu Ning rarely went out and drank two beers. She didn't like drinking very much. In the past, she only drank red wine or fruit juice when attending social events. Of course, most of it was fruit juice, and she rarely drank red wine.

"Xu Ning, you are still as beautiful as when you were in school. We are classmates. Although you may not be familiar with me, it may be fate to meet again. Let's go one by one." Ma Dachun, who was at the same table, raised the wine glass in his hand. It's liquor, and Xu Ning's is beer.

Xu Ning picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party. He took a sip and put down the wine glass. The other party raised his head and drank the white wine in the small wine cup in one gulp. He grinned and turned the wine cup upside down to indicate that I did it.

"Oh, our beautiful lady Xu is really reserved. Just drink it in one gulp to show her face. That's beer for you." Ma Dachun looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

This woman is really beautiful, especially the pair of plump breasts under the cheongsam, which makes people feel itchy to look at her.

Ma Dachun has really become rich in these years. He has made a lot of money. He has bought villas in many places in the country. He has also had three or four wives. When he likes her enough, he divorces. The longest one is his first wife. I had been with him for almost ten years, but later I divorced him because I disliked him for being uneducated, lacking temperament, and having no taste. After that, I decided not to get married at all. After the breakup, I gave him a sum of money for bulk goods. He had plenty of money. .

But for Xu Ning, he only dared to think about it in his mind, but he didn't dare to take action. Xu Ning's identity had long been exposed in the group. His husband was an army general, and he couldn't afford to offend him to death. .

Being able to get to this point, Ma Dachun is certainly not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd.

Xu Ning's intuition was very keen, and he looked at Ma Dachun opposite with a smile in his eyes. Although he was smiling, the sight made Ma Dachun calm down little by little.

Lu Kang felt bitter in his heart. After working with Xu Ning for so many years, he knew the temper of this boss very well. Even though he was smiling now, he was probably feeling a cold wind howling in his heart.

This Ma Dachun is obviously smart, and Lu Kang has heard about his reputation. Could it be that in Ma Dachun's heart, Xu Ning is also an ordinary casual woman? You say a few joking words and think it's humorous?

"Come, come and eat the food. Don't let it get cold later." Lu Kang hurriedly greeted them.

Xu Ning looked away and stared at Lu Kang for three seconds. When he saw him blinking at her, Xu Ning picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food again.

"Dachun, don't stop talking after drinking. Xu Ning doesn't drink much." Lu Kang was nearby to avoid patting Ma Dachun on the shoulder.

Ma Dachun's back was sweating a little. He had made a lot of money over the years and changed women frequently. In addition, the people around him also supported him, which really made him feel a little dizzy. He was looking at Xu Ning like that just now. , but there was no charm in his heart. Instead, he felt that his whole person was suppressed by that sight, and his back felt a little chilly.

"Mr. Xu is the big boss, shouldn't he be socializing?" Yang Bo asked curiously while eating the food.

"...Even if she is just socializing, how many of you do you think would dare to persuade Yang Bo to drink?" Lu Kang patted Yang Bo's beer belly, "And I am the one who attends most of the business receptions. She can hide if she can. If she can't, she can drink. Champagne juice or cocktails, and occasionally some red wine, but very little.”

"Your boss is a breath of fresh air." Yang Bo immediately reacted, "Then you often socialize, so why are you in better shape than me?"

"Exercise, I do it every morning."

"..." Yang Bo felt that the relationship between him and Lu Kang, his friend, seemed unsustainable.

After three rounds of drinking, the people at Lu Xuejiao's table began to murmur, and then they saw two women getting up and coming to Xu Ning with beer glasses in hand.

"Xu Ning, do you remember us?" The person who spoke was a very thin woman wearing a white shirt and blue flared jeans.

Xu Ning looked at the two of them and nodded, a certain wave of light flowing, "Of course I remember."

Lu Qinqin and Lu Yunfang were her classmates who got along well with each other back then, but they immediately changed their attitudes because of Lu Xuejiao.

"Well, I haven't seen you for many years. Let's have a drink with you." Lu Qinqin stretched out her hand and clinked the wine glass in Xu Ning's hand. Lu Yunfang followed closely behind. Then the two of them raised their heads and drank the beer boldly. After drinking it all, many students around him clapped their hands and cheered, shouting "refreshing" and "heroic".

Xu Ning didn't do what they did, he just took a sip and then put it down.

It's not that Xu Ning really doesn't give face or look at people's faces. Not to mention it's just a class reunion or an important business gathering. She almost doesn't drink. But there is only tea, liquor and beer here, not even a bottle of juice. There's nothing we can do about it.

Some people began to murmur that Xu Ning didn't give him any face.

A woman at one of the tables smiled and said: "Why should people give you face? Only people standing at the same height can have face. Why do you want Xu Ning to give us face? A junior high school classmate more than 20 years ago? Say no." The phrase "giving us face" is a joke in itself. She is the president of a large group, worth hundreds of millions, and the wife of an army general. If she gives us face, what status will we have? "

Everyone present knew Xu Ning's identity, but they just used a fig leaf to hide the truth they knew.

Now being exposed on the spot, the embarrassment and embarrassment almost made this class reunion unsustainable.

face? Ridiculous face.

You yourself have not faced yourself or others seriously, yet you still want others to give you face. Would you give face to a beggar when you see him on the street?

Of course, although this is a metaphor, compared with Xu Ning's worth, they are not as good as beggars. There is no face between people with such a huge gap.

Even a rich man like Ma Dachun in their eyes can't show his face. Why should they? Thick-skinned?

"Dachun, what aquatic products do you have in your store?" Yang Bo asked.

"What do you want? There are almost all domestic ones, and there are also many foreign ones. Of course, there are Australian lobsters, but the quantity is not large. They were all ordered before, and there are only two boxes left. Do you want it, Mr. Xu?" "

Looking at Ma Dachun's ability to bend and stretch, Xu Ning admired this old classmate who had some impressions.

"Big box and small box?"

"A big box of sixty."

"Then I'll take both boxes. Is there anything else?"

“Want sea cucumber and abalone?”

"...I don't really like eating this. What about you, Zhang Meng? Do you like it?"

"It's not bad. I'll definitely eat what you gave me." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"Then just bring a box, leave a few for Zhang Meng, and let Xiaodie take the rest back."

"Ah?" Lu Xiaodie looked at Xu Ning in surprise, "You don't need to give me such an expensive thing."

"Go back and make up for it!" Zhang Meng said to Lu Xiaodie.

Ma Dachun got up and went outside to make a phone call, probably asking someone from the store to deliver the things here.

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, a small truck arrived at the door of Yang Bo's house. When Ma Dachun saw it, he got up and walked over.

Asking people to move the incubators to the yard, Ma Dachun called to Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, take a look."

She got up and walked over, and many people gathered there.

Ma Dachun opened a large incubator. Inside was a huge, fiery red lobster with a faint golden claw. Each one weighed more than a kilogram, so the price was naturally not cheap.

"The quality of this lobster is very good." Yang Bo picked up one and said to Lu Kang.

Lu Kang nodded, "Indeed, I thought Dachun was a profiteer, but I didn't expect that the business was actually done honestly."

Ma Dachun laughed and said: "You look down on me, don't you? I have been in the aquaculture business for thirteen or fourteen years. If I were not honest, how could I have reached this scale?"

"In addition, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also our first junior high school reunion in more than 20 years. I also asked someone to bring two more boxes of shrimps, so I can share one point."

Xu Ning asked Yang Bo to find some sturdy plastic bags. Each bag contained two lobsters, abalone and sea cucumbers. Of course, a box of abalone and sea cucumbers cost more than 100 people. Nearly forty people came today, and each of them was It can only be divided into two. She doesn't know who will eat it when they get home, and she doesn't care.

Xu Ning took some of the remaining ones and divided them between Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaodie. Lu Kang and Yang Bo also kept two each to satisfy their cravings at home.

Their salary is enough to afford living outside, so they don't care about this.

After the distribution, everyone dispersed and went home. Lu Kang wanted to see Zhang Meng and Xu Ning off, and he also brought two classmates from the neighboring village along the way.

After sending Xu Ning to the door of his house first, Lu Kang asked from the car window: "Are you going back the day after tomorrow?"

"Probably, it doesn't matter when I go back, you can't delay your work." Xu Ning said with a smile.

Lu Kang nodded dumbfounded, "Yes, yes, that's what the boss ordered. Naturally, I can't be late, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, slow down on the road, and Zhang Meng should pay more attention."

Watching the car leave, Xu Ning returned home carrying two big bags.

The father and son were sitting on the kang playing cards. Just now they heard Xu Ning's movement behind the house. At this time, the twins were lying on the window looking out.

Xu Ning saw the two little guys, waved to them, and walked into the house.

"How is it?" Xie Zheng asked when he saw her.

"Just like that, it's not that interesting. I don't really like gatherings of this nature." Xu Ning stood beside the earthen bed with her little daughter in her arms, "Mom's not home?"

"Well, the ancestral graves will be repaired this afternoon. Mom will follow me there in the afternoon."

"I brought back ten Australian lobsters and will cook them for lunch tomorrow."

"Where did you buy it?"

"A junior high school classmate was in the aquatic products business, so he bought some and divided them up and brought them back."

Lu Xiaodie's husband is a civil servant in the county government. The company is not high, but it is stable.

He and his wife met through free love, and their relationship after marriage was pretty good. The only regret was that he didn't have a son. Every time his parents saw him, they would talk about a grandson. But if he had another child, he would be a son? What if she is still a daughter?

Moreover, the two daughters are indeed well-behaved and sensible. Even if he likes his son, he can't say that he doesn't have two daughters in his heart. After all, they are his own biological children and cannot be cruel. Moreover, he still likes his wife very much and knows her. At that time, Lu Xiaodie was very beautiful, slender, and had a good voice that made him fall in love with her, so he devoted all his energy to chasing her down and marrying her back.

"I'm back." Lu Xiaodie was sent back by Yang Bo. Before getting off the car, she said hello to the three people in the car and entered the house.

Their little daughter heard her mother's voice, trotted out of the house, and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom is back." The little girl is delicate and soft, and looks very similar to Lu Xiaodie. The eldest daughter is a blend of the couple's looks. She is not as delicate as the younger daughter, but she is still pretty.

Li Qiuhang glanced at his wife from the kang room and saw her putting an incubator on the pot table. He asked, "You went out to a class reunion and brought something back?"

"Well, the aquatic products bought by my old classmate were divided one by one. I had a good relationship with her at that time, so I divided a little more." Lu Xiaodie opened the incubator. Inside were huge lobsters, a dozen sea cucumbers and ten sea cucumbers. A few abalones, and a lot of shrimps below. "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, just in time."

"So much?" Li Qiuhang was also stunned for a moment, "This lobster weighs more than a hundred pounds per pound."

Lu Xiaodie was also shocked, "So expensive?"

"What do you think?" He gave his wife a funny look, "Your classmate is doing very well."

"Well, it's pretty good."

Lu Xiaodie's father passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage many years ago, leaving only an elderly mother. They come back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the elderly almost every year. Her husband's family has two sons and one daughter, and Li Qiuhang is the youngest, so it doesn't happen often. I stay with my parents-in-law, and I have stayed at their parents-in-law’s house during the Chinese New Year in recent years, so I spent most of the Mid-Autumn Festival at Xiaodie’s parents’ house.

"Send two to Xiaofei's house. Let's make two at noon tomorrow. Take the remaining two home to give to your parents the day after tomorrow. Then put them in the refrigerator until you treat them to dinner."

"It's up to you." Li Qiuhang didn't have any objections. His wife's distribution was quite good.

"As for the sea cucumber and abalone, I'll give this to my parents too."

"No, let's keep it for ourselves." Li Qiuhang rubbed his little daughter's head, "If you give it to your parents, it will end up in Xiaowei's mouth. It's better to leave it to our daughter."

Lu Xiaodie was also a little surprised, but she was a little moved in her heart, "Why are you so good today?"

"It's like if I have something at home, I will send it to my parents." Li Qiuhang was a little angry. His wife was very good, but he still wanted a son, but he would not do anything just to have a son. Something out of the ordinary.

Lu Xiaodie pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing more.

She never thought there was anything wrong with her daughter. When she saw Xu Ning and Zhang Meng today, her thoughts became even stronger.

Lu Kang, who was so good in school back then, isn't he working for Xu Ning now?

Zhang Meng also set up a studio and became the boss, and it developed very well.

Women also have a place in this society and are no worse than men.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family spent time in Xiangshan Village. As for the Imperial Capital, it would be nice for the elderly from the two families to get together and have fun. After all, they came back to repair their ancestral graves and not to do anything else.

In the morning, Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui, packed some incense and candles, and went to the ancestral graves. It was a formal ceremony for the Mid-Autumn Festival, while Xu Ning prepared today's lunch at home.

There were only a few people in the family, so there was no need to worry too much, so Xie Zheng also stepped forward to help.

As for Xie Yang, he took his younger siblings to play poker or glass beads. Someone in the village taught them how to play glass beads, and they are currently addicted to them.

Because he was too tired yesterday and had to prepare meals today, he didn't bother his wife. He thought about drinking some wine while eating dumplings tonight, which would be more atmospheric.

"Aunt Ning." A little girl with twin ponytails walked in from outside. It was Uncle Baoshuan's granddaughter Cuicui.

"Is Cuicui here?" Xu Ning came out after hearing the sound and saw the little girl handing over a white plastic bag containing a bag of home-made sausages.

"Grandma asked me to send it here."

Xu Ning took it and led Cuicui into the house, "Brother Zheng, pack some shrimps for the child to take with him."

Xie Zheng responded, found a plastic bag, put thirty or forty large shrimps in it, put another plastic bag in it, and handed it to Xu Cuicui.

"Cui Cui, take this back. Auntie will put some fruits back for you." Xu Ning went into the house and found a handbag with a larger capacity, which contained a lot of fruits. When he came out, he greeted Xie Yang, "Yangyang, help Cui Cui." Cui sent the things to your grandpa Baoshuan’s house.”

"Here we come." Xie Yang is already 1.5 meters tall at this time. He will go to junior high school next year, and then to high school. He can continue to grow taller, but according to the height of Xie Zheng and Xu Ning, the three children in the family cannot Shorter.

The twins naturally followed, and Xu Ning came back to continue working.

The meal at noon was very rich. Xu Ning took out the lobster meat, chopped it into minced meat, added other ingredients to it, and then fried the meatballs in the pot. Lobster was often eaten at home, so it was not a rare thing.

This time, the shrimps were made into spicy prawns. When I started making them, the pungent spicy smell directly took away Brother Zheng. After all, I have a range hood when I make spicy dishes at home, but here The front and rear windows were open, and the smell was so irritating that people burst into tears.

When the old village chief's family saw Cuicui returning with Xie Yang and the others, they smiled and greeted them into the house.

"Why did you three follow me here? Oh, girl Cuicui, I asked you to deliver sausages to Aunt Ning, but you brought back so many things."

"Aunt Ning gave it to me, I didn't want it!" Cuicui said hurriedly, and then handed the bag of shrimps to grandma.

The village chief's wife took a look, it was such a big shrimp, how much did it cost?

Xie Yang delivered the things, greeted the old village chief and his family, and left with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Dad, take a look!" He handed over the bag of shrimps and said, "That child Ningning is still alive."

"It's not small. Let's make it for the festival today." The old village chief said with his hands behind his back.

"Eat it today? It would be great to keep it for the Chinese New Year. I'll put it in the freezer of the supply and marketing cooperative." They are reluctant to buy such big shrimps all year round. They don't even dare to think about it. This bag costs dozens. ah.

"The New Year and the holidays are not the same. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival."

When the old woman saw this, she didn't say anything. She found a stainless steel basin and started collecting the shrimps.

As a child, Cuicui is not needed for cooking at home. Grandma and mother can handle it. Fortunately, my aunt will not come today, otherwise the cousin will eat everything in the house. This happens every time she comes. , even his own brother had to step aside.

"Mom, where are my dad and my brother?"

"It's at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Cuicui took out an apple from the paper bag and went to the supply and marketing cooperative while chewing it.

Xu Jianjun, his wife and Xu Rui came back before ten o'clock. At this time, Xu Ning was preparing to put the carp into the pot.

Afterwards, Xu Jianjun invited Xie Zheng to drink tea on the kang, while Xu Rui stayed in the kitchen to help his sister cook. His skills were very good and he could cook everything.

"How's the cleaning up over there?" Xu Ning asked.

Xu Rui raised his lips and smiled and said: "I spent a lot of money to build it well, it is made of marble, and the tombstone is also very particular."

The two of them have no good impressions of the ancestors of the Xu family. The closer they are to grandma, the less they like the deceased elders of the Xu family.

Grandma gave birth to five children, and now only one is left. It’s okay to say that the eldest uncle and the second uncle sacrificed their lives for the revolution, but the eldest aunt was tortured to death by those two old people. No matter how difficult those times were, she was still fragrant. The mountain village was hardly affected by the flames of war. It was really not possible to starve to death. There were mountains and water around it. Even if it was a meal, it was still possible to eat. But it was so hard to starve to death. How could it be so cruel?

For other children, grandma has no guilt, but she always has knots and obsessions in her heart about her eldest aunt who died at the right age.

"I don't feel anything about the person lying inside. When I kneel there with my parents, I feel like a stranger. My parents and I have similar thoughts."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ning glared at his brother, "Grandma said that the old lady doted on our dad very much, but dad was still young at the time, and then my eldest aunt was gone, and grandma didn't pay much attention to the old lady. Dad later became estranged from there."

"I heard from my mother that the method was really extreme." Xu Rui said.

"People in that era had a strong preference for boys over girls. Not having a son seemed to be a very painful thing. It meant cutting off children and grandchildren. Although it is foolish, it is also the status quo of the big society."

But the contempt for human life is chilling to the bone.
