Chapter 602 (1/2)
At 7:30 in the morning, in the courtyard of Fang's old house.
The Fang family all sat around a large round solid wood table with breakfast made by the Fang family's younger generation and grandma.
Porridge, steamed buns, fried vegetables in soy sauce, shredded sprouts
They are all small dishes, not high-grade, but everyone eats them with relish.
Even Fang Zhulian, who had a smelly face yesterday, also had some smiles.
Last night, when she lived in one of the old rooms on the first floor with full resentment, her son Chen Zhilin, who went to another room, suddenly ran excitedly and took her and her husband next door.
There are three rooms on the first floor of Fang's old house, two of which are old bedrooms and the other is a utility room.
But when Fang Zhulian was taken by her son to another bedroom and the utility room, she found that the two damp and dilapidated rooms had taken on a new look.
The floor is paved, the walls are painted with new paint, the furniture and beds are newly bought, and even the bedding and sheets are brand new.
Fang Zhulian was stunned on the spot.
She knew that her parents had renovated the two worst rooms in order to welcome them back.
As for why we didn't renovate the remaining old bedroom, we don't have to think about it:
My mother has no retirement salary, and my parents' savings may not be enough to renovate all three rooms
”Why didn't my parents tell us these things?”
When she mumbled the question.
Chen Zhilin, her son, stood beside her and said in a low voice:
”Maybe it's because we haven't called our grandparents at ordinary times. They don't have a chance to say it?”
Fang Zhulian was stunned for a moment, silently walked to the bed, bent over and touched the brand-new red bedding, on which a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered.
It's just that the embroidery work is very poor. The position of mandarin ducks is a little crooked. It looks very old-fashioned. It can't be compared with those exquisite brand quilts in the city, but Fang Zhulian recognized it at a glance. It was embroidered by her mother.
”I remember that when I was a child, your grandmother's embroidery was the best in the whole village, but now she is old and can't see clearly. She can't embroider well...”
Fang Zhulian gently touched the crooked and rough mandarin ducks with her fingers and burst into tears.
......
”Second sister, second sister?”
Fang Zhulian was awakened by the shouts of Fang Guoguo. She looked at her third brother blankly.
”I discussed with my eldest brother. We want to stay in the old house for one more night, second sister. What about you?”
Fang Guoyou whispered, fearing that Fang Zhulian was still shouting hard, he persuaded:
”Second sister, my eldest brother and I think we used to care too little about our parents. Anyway, it's a holiday now. It's nothing, so...”
”OK, I also want to stay one more night.” Before he finished, Fang Zhulian nodded directly.
Fang Guoyou was stunned for a moment, then said good again and again, turned his head and whispered to Fang Guoqing sitting aside.
When Fang Guoqing heard the speech, he couldn't help looking at Fang Zhulian. Seeing that his second sister was looking at him, he smiled at Fang Zhulian.
Fang Zhulian glanced at him, nodded awkwardly, and turned her head.
Fang Guoqing smiled and Yu Cheng and Guo Juan said:
”Dad, mom, our brothers and sisters discussed it. We all want to stay in the old house for one more night. Do you think so?”
Hearing his words, the old lady's muddy eyes lit up, but she didn't speak, but turned her head with hope and looked at Fang Yucheng, the head of the family.
Others also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Fang Yucheng.
The cold looking old man took chopsticks and took a piece of ink dish, slowly put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, bowed his head and drank a mouthful of porridge.
Then, nod slowly.
”OK.”
”Wow, great! I can stay with my sister-in-law for another day! ”
Zhang Yan and Zeng Li cheered in unison.
Seeing their husband and mother-in-law looking over, they talked and shut up, and then cheered again:
”Wow, great, the family can get together for another day!”
Their husbands and other elders nodded with satisfaction.
For a time, the yard was full of laughter again.
After dinner, several young people helped grandma clean the table and wash the dishes.
Because I got up early, it's only eight o'clock now.
As they sat in the yard chatting, Lin Yao suddenly said to each other:
”Husband, can you play erhu?”
After the initial shyness, Lin Yao is used to calling Fang Xiaole's husband in front of Fang's relatives.
”A little.”
