Chapter 598: Pre-departure arrangements (1)
After learning that her youngest son was injured, although Wang Xiulan temporarily eased her sadness after repeated consolation from Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, she was still very worried.
Worried that her uncle and aunt were too concerned about her second brother's injury, Liu Jingxue planned to divert their attention.
She picked up the cotton, cloth and tanned leather she had just brought and stuffed them in front of Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan.
"Uncle, aunt, don't think about those trivial things. You should quickly prepare winter equipment for my eldest brother's family and my second brother."
"When I left the commune, I had already made a plan that when my second brother was discharged from the hospital and able to travel, I would bring him to our place to recuperate.
Anyway, since he is injured this time, he won’t be able to resume training for a while.
Besides, he hasn't had a home visit leave for a few years, so he could take this opportunity to have some more rest.
As for my eldest brother, I just discussed with my eldest sister-in-law on the phone and asked them to take a home visit leave this year and come visit me.
They are all in the south. If they come here, they will need winter equipment.
But even if I told them to prepare thick cotton-padded jackets, I was afraid they had no idea about the winter temperature here and didn't know how thick they should prepare.
So, you, as parents and grandparents, must be very busy and help them get all the equipment, otherwise they might freeze to death."
Upon hearing what Liu Jingxue said, Wang Xiulan, who had originally been helped by Liu Jingxue to sit on the kang, stood up suddenly.
She rushed over and grabbed Liu Jingxue's hand, "Xiaoxue, are you planning to ask your eldest brother and second brother's family to come here to visit?"
"Yeah, if they don't come here, where can they go?
As for my second brother, although I haven’t informed him, I don’t think there will be any problem.
As for my eldest brother, he is out on a mission. I told my eldest sister-in-law about it and she has agreed."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Liu Jingxue deliberately teased, "Aunt, you know my brother's temper. Basically, as long as my sister-in-law agrees, the matter will most likely be settled."
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she couldn't help but think of the way the old couple in the old house get along with each other, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"You're right. Your eldest brother is a man who listens to his wife. As long as your eldest sister-in-law agrees, then this matter will basically be settled."
"My sister-in-law said that she plans to spend the Spring Festival with us and spend a good time with you two.
So, you two don't have to keep talking about your older and younger sons, your daughters-in-law, and your eldest grandson every day.
I don't have to look at their photos every day and miss them. I can see them in person." Liu Jingxue deliberately teased.
Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan felt a little embarrassed when their usual behavior was exposed by Liu Jingxue in front of so many people.
Wang Xiulan reached out and patted Liu Jingxue, "You kid, you're just talking nonsense. There's no way your uncle and I would do that."
"This child is becoming more and more unruly. How come he even involves your uncle and aunt in making trouble?" Liu Weihua spoke uncomfortably.
"Are you sure you and your wife didn't do this? Then who were those two people that Old Zou and I saw talking about your son and grandson?" In order to ease their worries, Grandpa Wu deliberately made fun of them.
Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao all laughed deliberately.
"Brother Wu, why are you joining the kids in teasing us?"
"Xiaoxue, you have to be careful, once your eldest brother's family and your second brother come, you will fall out of favor.
But don't worry, your uncle and aunt don't love you, but your Grandpa Zou and Grandpa Wu do." Elder Zou said leisurely.
Wang Xiulan hugged Liu Jingxue and said, "Old leader, you can't sow discord between us and Xiaoxue.
Our Liu family only has one daughter, how could she fall out of favor?
Besides, the bad boy is not as good as the daughter. He only makes things difficult for others. The two of us in my family combined are not as considerate and filial as Xiaoxue. "
Old Wu nodded seriously, "Xiu Lan is right, a bad boy is not as good as a daughter, Old Zou, you say this because you don't have a daughter.
I have a son and a daughter. My son was always fighting with me. After he finally grew up and became sensible, he passed away, which took half of my life.
But my daughter has always been filial to me."
At this point, he shook his head and sighed, "It's just that my daughter is unlucky. She didn't give me a granddaughter, but only gave me grandsons.
After giving birth to my second child, I tried to have a third child after many years in order to have a daughter, but I didn’t expect to have this rascal Mingxuan.”
He looked at Zhou Mingxuan and said with disdain, "If he was a girl, my daughter would probably give up her job and keep him with her, instead of leaving him to an old man like me to raise.
It is because his brat is worthless that Ren Mingxuan was raised by me."
Zhao Junhao opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, it turns out that your mother wanted a daughter, so you were born.
You are really lucky, if you were born and Aunt Zhou saw that you were a boy, she would get angry and throw you away, and you would not be alive now. "
After saying this, he shook his head deliberately and said, "I thought I was unloved by my father and mother, but I didn't expect you to be even more miserable than me. Even your coming was not expected."
Zhou Mingxuan glared at Zhao Junhao fiercely, "Get out of here right now."
"Okay." Zhao Junhao said, and ran to the other side.
Everyone was amused by the two people's antics.
Zhou Mingxuan looked at his foreigner with dissatisfaction. It seemed that the old man wanted to comfort Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, to make them forget their sadness and stop making fun of his grandson.
After he finished laughing, Liu Weihua spoke, "Xiaoxue, where will your elder and second brothers stay when they come here?"
"Uncle, you forgot that there are still a few empty rooms at the educated youth center. We can just rent two rooms for a month or two.
But in this case, I will have to trouble Brother Zhou and Brother Zhao to work harder after the autumn harvest and prepare more firewood for the winter." Liu Jingxue said, looking at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
“It’s no problem for the two of us to prepare the firewood.
It’s just that Xiaoxue, do you think your second brother is single and lonely, and are planning to let him find a second sister-in-law? Otherwise, why would you think of arranging someone to work in the educated youth site?
Have you forgotten that there are five single female educated youth in the educated youth site?
Feng Chunyan, Zhang Yingchun and Xia Lan are fine, but as for Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Zhaodi, haven’t you seen that they are so eager to get married that their eyes are green with envy?
If Liu Erge were arranged to work at the educated youth point, wouldn't you be afraid that they would throw themselves at him, as he's such a young and promising male officer?
If they had more means, such as forcing someone to have sex with them or framing them, then the matter would have been settled.
Do you want Chen Jiaojiao or Liu Zhaodi to be your second sister-in-law?" Zhou Mingxuan reminded.
Wang Xiulan was the first to object, "This is absolutely not possible."
She firmly disagreed with letting those two girls become her daughters-in-law.
Although she was in the cowshed, she had heard a lot from the people in the production team about what the two girls had done in the past few months.
If these two people succeeded in their plan and she became her daughter-in-law, she was afraid that she would be so angry that she would die.
"I'm afraid it's not safe for the eldest brother of the Liu family to live there. Who knows what those two people will do in order to marry a male officer," Zhao Junhao added.
Liu Jingxue hesitated, "They wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
"Xiaoxue, you can't judge a person by his appearance, you can't bet on how crazy they will be to become a superior's wife.
Have you forgotten that our production team already has Jiang Yueyao and Wang Lihua?" Zhou Mingxuan reminded.
The two of them didn't stay there for long, and they found out a lot of things about the production team.
"It's indeed not appropriate for the eldest and second sons to live in the educated youth camp. Let's move to another place," said Liu Weihua.
Liu Jingxue was a little confused, "If not living in the educated youth camp, where should I live?
It is not appropriate to live in the villagers’ homes. Besides, the villagers’ homes are not spacious enough, and they cannot spare two rooms. ”
