Lao Wu paused in his steps and his back froze. Then he lowered his head and ran away.

The second child just feels that if the mother is gone, the family is broken up. The brothers can only treat each other as relatives, and there is really nothing else.

I can’t tell what kind of sadness it is.

This Chinese New Year is so boring. In the past, the whole family still got together to have a meal, but now?

On the first day of the first lunar month, He Xiaowan and her children, the eldest brother Qingfeng and Qingshou, and the fifth couple and their children were all at the second child's side. Yingzi must be the one to entertain them.

The parents' children were there, but the couple didn't come. No one called them even though they didn't come, so it was considered a reunion dinner.

The fifth child has no sense of self-consciousness at all. He feels that I have offended my brother and sister-in-law before, so he is too embarrassed to come to the house or something. He doesn't have it at all. He probably still feels that it is the same as before, he is the youngest, and his brother and sister-in-law don't care about him.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong returned to the county town with their children and the old lady. They came back early, mainly because they were moving.

Moved to the newly divided courtyard. The courtyard is small, but the house is not small, it is a two-story building.

The little old lady and Qing Ning lived on the first floor, while Lin Yutong and Qingyuan lived on the second floor. Originally, they planned to let their children live on the second floor, but it turned out that Qing Ning, perhaps because of the sudden death of her grandma, couldn't live without the little old lady.

In the past, the house was small, so she had to live with the little old lady. Now, the house is big, and the room is tidied for her, but she refuses to live by herself. She has to live with the little old lady.

Lin Yutong had to persuade her to live alone, because the little old lady's living habits for decades were not easy to change. She had to go to bed when it was dark, which was inconsistent with the child's schedule. Moreover, the sleep was light, and the child would definitely go to bed at nine o'clock.

It will wake up the little old lady.

Qingning said to Lin Yutong: "Take the old lady for a check-up, go to the hospital and ask the doctor to take a look."

Can the doctor be as good as me?

But everything the child said was right!

Then the next day, the family took the little old lady to the hospital for a check-up. After various examinations, the little old lady was in excellent health!

"What a waste of money!" This is not the style of a little old lady.

Duplicity means that you are in a good mood.

Pain for your child is really not in vain.

Qingning used to keep her hands off everything, but not anymore. After dinner, she put away the dishes and put them in the kitchen, wiped the table and swept the floor. As long as she was free, she helped with all the tasks she could do.

Qingyuan can also set up a kindergarten. Although it is a little small, it doesn't matter. There are many children of his age, and they just need a teacher to take care of them.

Government nurseries are different from nurseries outside. The parents or grandparents of the children there are people with some power in the county. The teachers will not beat or scold them, and they take good care of them. They provide three meals a day.

good.

As long as there is delicious food, this kid will go there.

When I went there on the first day, I was still moaning and groaning, which made everyone’s heart soften. But when I picked it up, it was different. I said to Lin Yutong: “The food is delicious!”

I heard from Fourth Master that the aunt who cooks for the children and the chef who cooks in the canteen are the same couple.

The food is delicious, which makes the child have a more positive attitude when he goes to school. He doesn't need to give him anything else to eat when he comes back. The teacher feeds the child well at school.

The little old lady is much less worried.

Don't worry, Lin Yutong said, go do something else. Just treat it as a pastime.

The little old lady went to some hilltop to sing some song. Within a few days, she knew where the senior activities were. She went to play cards and mahjong, and came back with some useful news from time to time.

For example, which family's daughter marries which leader's son, which family is close to which family, etc. The role played by Lin Yutong and Fourth Master in understanding the prevailing trends in the county town should not be underestimated.

She had also been in the circle of official wives in New Year's Eve in Shanghai, and knew who to play cards with, so that others would pay for it, and it didn't matter who played cards, and whose money could win, and whose money could not win, etc.

Lin Yutong felt that the little old lady was really enjoying herself.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it’s time to start work.

As a result, the little old lady was not very happy when she came back that day. Why?

Lin Yutong is now particularly concerned about the physical and mental health of his little old lady, "What's going on? Who provoked you?"

"Why can't you avoid it no matter where you go?" the little old lady groaned.

Did you meet an acquaintance?!

Definitely! The county is such a big place, so the probability of meeting someone you know is very high!

Thinking of the location of his house, Lin Yutong asked in a low voice: "Did you meet Liu Cheng's breast or mother?"

Yes, Liu Cheng and Su Xiaoqin seem to live in this area. However, they bought their own land and built their house. It is not a divided house. Lin Yutong also said that he would go there with Fourth Master when he had time.

In any case, Liu Cheng's family has helped. This favor must be recorded.

The little old lady then said: "I met Liu Cheng's grandmother. Her mother hasn't followed yet."

That old lady also lived a long life.

Lin Yutong laughed at the little old lady, "She lived a good life, and your life now is even better. What's the matter? If you like it, go everywhere, if you don't like it, avoid it. There are many old men and old ladies playing with you...

"

Take it down too.

My granddaughter said so. She has been out less recently. She is renovating the yard and the land at the entrance of the yard, planting some flowers and grass, and not having to talk to boring people.

As a result, she stopped going out and someone touched the door.

Old Mrs. Liu looked around at the house, "The house I was assigned is good, it's so warm inside. It's not good over there, I need to light the stove."

It means there is no central heating.

The little old lady poured the water and handed it over: "How are we living today? We have all made money. What is there to be dissatisfied about?"

Mrs. Liu chuckled and said that these tea cups are unique and must be very expensive.

The little old lady frowned, "It's not expensive, it's all defective." Then she pointed at the less obvious flaws on the teacup and told her, "With the salary of the couple, I can't even buy something expensive."

"That's true." Old Mrs. Liu shook the gold bracelet in her hand, "To say that our Liu Cheng is filial. You see, he bought these for me. Old sister, although your family is good, but after all it is

Girl, after getting married, her heart is always partial to her husband’s family. I heard that she prepared three golden things for her mother-in-law..."

I want to tell you how much gold my family has.

Like you, gold is hanging on your hand, it's shining brightly. It's hard to say whether Liu Cheng bought it for you, but in the eyes of caring people, is Liu Cheng clean?

It’s not scary to be old, but we are afraid that we will still be confused when we are old!

This has really become a scourge for old people! It’s not finished until it harms our children and grandchildren.

You said you lack a gold bracelet? What is there to show off?

I used to know how to hide it, but now I don't know the importance of it.

The little old lady didn't tell her granddaughter about these things between the old people. As a result, she was cooking in the kitchen before get off work that day, and the door rang.

The door was opened by a panicked Su Xiaoqin.

"Girl, what's going on?" The little old lady opened the door and made room for Su Xiaoqin to come in, "Come in quickly, Tong will be back in a moment."

Su Xiaoqin was out of breath when she came back, "Nai, how long will it take for Tong to come back?"

"It's almost time." The little old lady glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It will take about ten minutes to pick up the child."

The first one to come back was Qingning. She can go home by herself now. The school is across the road. She put down her schoolbag, washed her hands and went to serve the food. She also called Su Xiaoqin, "Aunt Xiaoqin, let's eat together."

Just as Su Xiaoqin was about to talk, the door opened and Lin Yutong came back with Qingyuan.

Qingyuan didn't know Su Xiaoqin very well, and he didn't remember seeing her before. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "Hello!" After asking, he rushed to the dining table like a cannonball. He had eaten at school, and when he came back, he saw Ai Shi.

Yes, I want to occupy a seat and eat some more, but I'm afraid there won't be one for him.

When Lin Yutong came in and saw Su Xiaoqin, he smiled: "I said I would come to see you on the weekend, but you came first."

She said that and went to the bathroom.

After coming out of it, Su Xiaoqin pulled her into the yard, as if she didn't want the children inside to hear her.

Lin Yutong was startled by her: "What's wrong?"

"Our Liu Cheng was taken for examination." Su Xiaoqin said urgently.

ah!

Lin Yutong didn't know anything about this, "What's going on?"

"It's said that there's something wrong with the bidding for the mineral water plant or something." Su Xiaoqin didn't say very clearly. "Isn't he assigned to do that kind of bidding work? It's said that the bricks and tiles and cement over there were substandard.

good……"

That's not a small problem.

Everyone knows that thing is just a piece of fat now, so naturally more people will stare at it.

The key is that Fourth Master is in charge of this matter, but I can't promise you anything now, right? After arriving in the county seat, my relationship with Liu Cheng was not that close.

She asked Su Xiaoqin: "Being responsible for the bidding, it is said that it has nothing to do with the occurrence of shoddy cement." As long as there is no problem in the bidding process, it is at most a problem of failing to pass the qualification review. If you want to hold people accountable, you can't.

For Liu Cheng, his level is not enough.

Su Xiaoqin said anxiously: "The question is, what kind of construction company is this? It has visited our door. Some people say that our Liu Cheng has received benefits from others... There is a shady secret in this bidding."

This is not true! Even if a bribe is required, at Liu Cheng's level, he is still willing to listen to others. He will not take any trouble, and it is possible that he gave some cigarettes and alcohol out of courtesy, but when it comes to other things, he is not stupid, and he can't talk to him for anything.
To be continued...
