11, daughter(1/2)
Su Jinxiu carried the small cloth bag containing the pig's trotters and went to the kitchen first, and touched the eggs from the rice vat before leaving the door.
Qian Fang's man is a technician in a machinery factory, known as Hu Gong.
Living in the workers' compound of the machinery factory, it was about two stops from Su's house to the machinery factory. Su Jinxiu didn't treat herself badly and got on the bus directly, and soon arrived at the door of the workers' compound of the machinery factory.
Because Mr. Hu is a technician, his house is a separate house, located at the end of the staff compound.
However, the staff compound was too big. Su Jinxiu walked along the road. There was no one on the road at noon. After searching for a long time, he finally found the two aunties and finally stood at the gate of Hu's house.
The door to the Hu's courtyard was open, and only the screen wall at the door could be seen. The situation inside could not be seen clearly, but standing outside the door, one could hear the noise inside.
Su Jinxiu didn't rush in, but looked around and saw a few old ladies looking towards her under the shade of a tree not far away.
She immediately walked over and said hello with a smile: "Hello, aunt."
"Okay, okay, girl, stand inside. The sun is shining brightly outside."
Old ladies like to gossip. When they saw Su Jinxiu coming from the gate of Hu's house, they immediately started chatting with her.
"Eh." Su Jinxiu took two steps in and supported one of the men whose legs were not very good: "Auntie, I want to ask you something. I heard Aunt Fang's house was noisy. What happened?
?”
"You are..." The old lady standing on the other side of Su Jinxiu suddenly looked at Su Jinxiu warily.
"I work in a textile factory, and I used to be colleagues with Xiao Hu. Isn't this... ugh..." Su Jinxiu sighed quietly when she said Xiao Hu, with unconcealable sadness on her face.
Several old ladies knew about the Hu family's affairs and also sighed.
"Xiao Hu is a good boy."
"That's not true. They are both filial and sensible. Lao Hu and his wife are pitiful."
Seeing them all shaking their heads and smacking their lips, Su Jinxiu immediately said: "I have been thinking about Aunt Fang these days. No, the factory was selling pig's trotters at noon. I was thinking that Aunt Fang was anxious to come back to cook and didn't buy any, so I
I bought two and sent them over, who knows what's inside..." She bit her lip in embarrassment: "Aunt Fang has such a good temper, who is quarreling with her? I'm so worried."
The old lady next to me happened to see the contents of the small cloth bag.
There were more than a dozen eggs piled on top of Bai Shengsheng's two pig's trotters, and her eyes were almost out of frame. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
This girl is really generous.
His tone was immediately attentive: "Hey, who else is it? Isn't it the shameless uncle from my husband's family? Something happened to Xiao Hu, and she just wanted to adopt her grandson, and she didn't even look at the grandson's shrinking back.
She looks silly at first glance, so it’s strange that Lao Hu could take a liking to her."
"No, Lao Hu was not close to the people in his hometown. When Lao Hu's parents went there, this old godly woman wanted to rob Lao Hu's old house."
"Over the years, I haven't seen Lao Hu go back during the holidays. He only goes back once a year during the Qingming Festival."
"My heart is cold, what are you going to do when you go back?"
"That's what you said..."
They have been neighbors for decades, and there are almost no secrets in the compound. After just a few words, everything about Hu Gong's family was cleared up.
After receiving the message, Su Jinxiu grabbed three eggs from her pocket and stuffed one into each hand: "I'm going to find Aunt Fang, and the ladies will take these eggs back to make egg tea."
After saying that, without waiting for the ladies to refuse, he turned around and trotted towards Hu's house.
Entering the Hu family's yard, the noise inside became even louder.
Su Jinxiu leaned against the screen wall and listened carefully.
I only heard an old woman shouting in a sharp voice: "Hu Jianbang, you have no conscience, don't think about who was taking care of your parents at home after you passed the exam. I think you were led astray by this woman. You should have done it in the first place."
Divorcing her, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, can't give birth to a son, and it will cut off the incense of our old Hu family, I bah--"
"That's nice to say. If it weren't for you, my mother-in-law wouldn't have died so early. I haven't settled the accounts with you yet, but you dared to come to my door."
Qian Fang also looked like a fighting hen, with all the hair on her body exploding.
The old woman started making a fuss again, and Qian Fang was not to be outdone. The two women's voices almost blew up the roof. Just when Su Jinxiu was wondering why Hu Gong didn't speak, Hu Gong spoke.
"You take Mancang back. There's no way I can adopt him. You know how my parents died in the first place. Don't force me to take him out. It won't look good on everyone's face by then."
"Hu Jianbang, our family is full of the flesh and blood of your old Hu family. You don't have a third or fourth brother, but who does he plan to adopt? You don't want to take advantage of outsiders, do you?"
Hu Jianbang was angry: "Yes, even if I adopt the beggar on the roadside, I can't adopt him."
Qian Fang straightened up when she heard what her husband said: "This is our husband and wife's business, get out of here."
Su Jinxiu's eyes suddenly rolled.
He stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Mom, I'm here to see you. Come on, come on, come on, help me carry things."
As he spoke, he carried the cloth bag and walked around the screen wall and walked inside.
Qian Fang was in a trance when she was called "Mom". When she looked closely, she saw Su Jinxiu coming in. She subconsciously followed Su Jinxiu's words and greeted her. She didn't wake up until she stood in front of Su Jinxiu: "Xiu'er
, why are you here?"
Hu Jianbang originally wanted to scold Su Jinxiu when he heard her calling her "Mom".
But he didn't expect that his wife would actually know him, so he immediately choked back his words. He would never show disgrace to his wife.
"Mom, you left in a hurry at noon. I bought pig trotters and didn't even have time to give them to you."
As she said that, she stuffed the cloth bag into Qian Fang's hand and winked at her mischievously: "I went to find some eggs again." She hugged Qian Fang's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom,
Look at you, you have lost so much weight, it makes me feel so sad."
Qian Fang heard Su Jinxiu's coquettish voice in her ears, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Her daughter is also so well-behaved and obedient. Although she doesn't act like a spoiled child, she is still her sweetheart.
Hu Jianbang glanced at Su Jinxiu and pursed his lips.
He pointed at Su Jinxiu and said to the old lady opposite: "See, I have a daughter!"
"Jianbang, you are out of your mind. You can just find someone from anywhere and treat it as your daughter."
The old lady went crazy instantly and pointed at Qian Fang with trembling fingers: "You are a bitch, I know you are not a thing. Is this girl from your mother's family? Jianbang, I think you are Hu
Tu, how can we give the things from our old Hu family to the Qian family?"
"I do, you go."
As he said that, Hu Jianbang didn't care how the old lady cried and pushed her out. When he got to the door, he closed the door with a 'snap'.
Another sound of cursing came from outside.
But the door was closed, so no matter how much the old lady scolded her, it would be useless.
Su Jinxiu then stuck out her tongue at Qian Fang, held her arm and shook her: "Aunt Fang, you won't blame me for taking matters into my own hands, will you?"
"Won't."
Qian Fang smiled helplessly: "But you are so bold. Why don't you just call me 'Mom' without fear that I won't agree?"
"Aunt Fang, please stop teasing me."
Su Jinxiu covered her face, looking ashamed to see others.
Qian Fang quickly patted her hand and introduced to her husband who was standing next to her: "This is the daughter of the Guihua family, Xiu'er."
"Hello, uncle." Su Jinxiu immediately stood up straight and introduced herself.
"Hello." Hu Jianbang nodded. He knew Yang Guihua. After all, Su Dahai also worked in the machinery factory: "Your father is Su Dahai from the third workshop."
"Yes, uncle knows my dad?" Su Jinxiu looked at Hu Jianbang in surprise.
"We know her." Hu Jianbang smiled, then turned to look at Qian Fang: "You greet her, I'll go to the factory first."
"Okay." Qian Fang nodded and hurriedly sent Hu Jianbang out of the back door, then made a cup of brown sugar water and came back: "Xiu'er, why are you here?"
"My mother is worried about you and has wanted to come and see you for a long time, but her legs and feet are inconvenient. There are pig trotters in the factory today. I bought them and came over quickly." With that, Su Jinxiu put the pig trotters on the table.
Also put on top is a bag of eggs.
Qian Fang was shocked by this generous gift: "How can this be done? It's too expensive."
As he said that, he picked up the things and stuffed them into Su Jinxiu's hands.
"Aunt Fang, just accept it." Su Jinxiu hugged Qian Fang's arm and acted coquettishly: "Just think of me as filial to you."
I heard the word ‘filial piety’.
Qian Fang's hand suddenly froze, and her eye circles turned red again.
Su Jinxiu did not directly say that she wanted a job as a trade union officer. Instead, she kept chatting with Qian Fang and inadvertently told Qian Fang her academic qualifications. Qian Fang's eyes trembled when she heard that she was a high school student.
Trembling, I stopped talking with satisfaction.
Looking at the clock on the incense table, Su Jinxiu stood up and said, "Aunt Fang, it's time, let's go to the factory together."
"Hey, okay." Qian Fang followed Su Jinxiu and stood up, a little distracted.
Qian Fang usually commutes to get off work by bicycle. Su Jinxiu doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, so she sits in the back seat of Qian Fang, holding Qian Fang's waist tightly with her hands. Occasionally, when she turns too fast, she immediately screams in fright, Listening to her lively voice, Qian Fang couldn't help but feel excited.
This feeling was so beautiful that she couldn't help but indulge in it.
As long as she doesn't look back, it's as if her daughter is still alive. Qian Fang shed tears while riding her bike.
