Story: The newlywed couple went back to their mother-in-law's house to celebrate the Middle Festival for the first time. The father-in-law and son-in-law started a floor shop
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature was quite high and abnormal. According to previous years, the temperature had already dropped. In the early morning, the big rooster was still crowing, so Aunt Liu quickly got up from the kang, put on her clothes and prepared to go to the floor to work.
Aunt Liu pushed her husband Lao Li before going, and asked Lao Li to get up quickly. After Lao Li got up, she sat up slowly and tapped her back with her fist. She felt that her waist hurt so she had just slept all night, but the kang became cold.
After hearing Lao Li’s mutter, Aunt Liu said: The kang you made is not only difficult to burn, but also always does not heat up. It takes a long time to cook. After Lao Li put on his clothes, he said: Since it doesn’t work, just strip the kang today and make it again.
Aunt Liu also said without any attention: Just do it, or go to the roof to see if the chimney is blocked. Lao Li climbed up to the wall and looked at the chimney, and even took a long stick and stirred it around in the chimney. He asked: Is Aunt Liu any better?
Aunt Liu is kneading the dough, preparing to drink the noodles. Before cooking the pot, Aunt Liu goes to fire after kneading the dough. After that, he sees a stream of black smoke coming out of the boiler, which smokes Aunt Liu suddenly. Aunt Liu yells at Old Li: What do you care about? Almost choked me to death.
When Lao Li saw that all the ash in the chimney fell down and was blocked directly underneath. It seemed that the kang had to be stripped off, and he had to clean up the chimney.
Usually when you arrive in the Northeast, you have to peel the kang at home twice. Otherwise, you won’t be able to heat up no matter how you burn it. You will suffer in winter. The main reason is that the weather in the Northeast is too cold. As long as the temperature drops, you can’t go out. It’s snowing all day long.
Taking advantage of this time, the weather was not too cold. Lao Li thought that he would re-work the kang today, otherwise he would not sleep well at night, and sometimes he would be awakened by the cold, especially at this age, he could not stand the cold air at all. As long as he caught a cold, his waist would be sore all over his legs.
Aunt Liu went to the field to work after breakfast. After doing some work, he received a call from his daughter, and Aunt Liu hurried back home.
Before I could enter the house, I heard the sound of smashing things from the kitchen at home. Aunt Liu quickly put down the tools at hand and trotted into the kitchen. She saw Lao Li holding the tools to scatter the kang.
Aunt Liu said anxiously: Oh, you are really moving. When I went to work in the fields just now, our daughter had just finished the phone and said she wanted to come back with our son-in-law.
Old Li smiled and said: When my son-in-law came back, he happened to work with me. After hearing this, Aunt Liu muttered: I only know someone has helped you with work. Where can I live after my son-in-law comes? There is only one bed at home.
Lao Li thought that he had taken off the kang anyway, and he would never regret it anymore. He could only wait until his son-in-law came before thinking about a solution. His daughter’s in-laws’ family lives in the city, and the distance is not close. He should live there for the first time after marriage.
The room I had idle was when my daughter lived in before her marriage, but now the kang is gone and I can't make up for a while. After all, I have to wait for a week. Just when the two of them were worried, my daughter and son-in-law had already entered the yard.
After the daughter entered the house, she shouted: We are back, Aunt Liu hurriedly went out to greet her. Her daughter and son-in-law were still carrying mooncakes and some tributes. Aunt Liu hurriedly exchanged greetings and continued to pour water for her son-in-law.
The son-in-law is also a sensible person. Seeing that the kitchen was busy, he thought to go in and help. Aunt Liu said anxiously: Don’t go into the house first. Your father is just striking the kang in the house. It is not clean and it is easy to get your clothes dirty.
But the son-in-law still wanted to go into the house to see if there was a place to help him. Old Li in the house was working hard, and the son-in-law said: Why did he suddenly take off the kang today?
Old Li was working, but he didn't hear what his son-in-law said, so his son-in-law repeated it loudly, and Old Li jumped off the kang that was almost stripped and said: The kang is useless now, it will be cold after sleeping for a while. You guys are just here to help me do some work. I need to work alone for a long time.
After hearing this, the son-in-law quickly took off his coat and helped him work. There are so many people and great strength. In just a few hours, Lao Li and his son-in-law cleaned the kang and covered it up again. The son-in-law hasn't worked much, and he will be so tired if he does a little bit of work.
Old Li saw the tired son-in-law and gasping, and said to Aunt Liu: Kill the big hen at home tonight and give it a supplement to our son-in-law. His daughter also laughed at the side: I still have a good taste today...
The big hen raised in the family has been several years, and she has eggs all over the world. Before her daughter got married, Aunt Liu was reluctant to kill it. She would rather go out to buy chicken than do the big hen.
It seems that I have raised my feelings. Now Lao Li feels sorry for his son-in-law, and the big hen becomes a feast on the table. After the family finished supper, Lao Li also looked at the kang still wet.
walked to Aunt Liu and said: Go and take out the bedding. I will work on the floor at home in the evening. You will take your daughter to the neighbor's house next door for a night.
Aunt Liu took the quilt and went to sleep with his daughter. In the middle of the night, Aunt Liu suddenly came back. Aunt Liu asked to change with his son-in-law and let his son-in-law sleep at the neighbor's house. Aunt Liu and Lao Li worked on the floor at home.
Aunt Liu said that she was afraid that Lao Li would snore when he was sleeping, and that her son-in-law couldn't sleep well. She agreed, so she took the quilt to sleep and went to the neighbor's house to sleep. Aunt Liu had a good relationship with her neighbor's house and had known each other for decades, so it was a trivial matter to sleep and neither party would mind.
Just send some eggs to you tomorrow, and the problem of sleeping was solved like this. After the second day, Old Li asked Aunt Liu a naively why she came back in the middle of the night and went to bed?
Mrs. Liu pointed at Lao Li's head with her finger and said: Our neighbors said that our son-in-law is also married. It is the first time we come to our house to sleep. We can't let our son-in-law come to work on the floor. We can let our work for a day and let others sleep on the floor.
If someone goes back and tells the in-laws, what else should others think of us? You are so confused. Old Li scratched his head with his hands and said: No, right? This son-in-law has a good personality and is very practical in his work. I like him very much.
People say that a son-in-law is half a son-in-law, and our son-in-law is not an outsider. Aunt Liu saw that he couldn't talk to Lao Li, so he just did it. Fortunately, his son-in-law didn't mind. He was still a kind and sensible person. Every time he came, he would bring some food and drink, and he was very polite to Aunt Liu and Lao Li.
