After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

Chapter 144

In the afternoon, Cui Lanhua, mother and daughter, as soon as they entered the house, received attentive service from their two daughters.

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan each took the towels they brought out to wash, and the other brought them water to wash their hands.

"Mom, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister and fifth sister, you have worked hard. You wash your hands and drink water first. The rice is cooking. After a while, the sixth sister and I will fry the vegetables and we will have dinner. Let's eat chicken feathers tonight." Xu Shuxin said.

More than a month has passed, and some of the vegetables grown in their private plot are now edible, such as water spinach and chicken feathers, so the vegetables on their dinner table are no longer wild vegetables.

Although wild vegetables are delicious, you will get tired of them if you eat them every day.

Cui Lanhua washed her hands and said, "Thank you Yanyan and Xinxin."

She felt that since her daughter went to school, everyone at home has become more particular, that is... there is more of a cultured atmosphere.

After washing their hands, Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuyue went into the main room to drink water.

They also brought water with them when they went to work, but there was only one kettle. They had already finished drinking the water in it, and now they were all thirsty.

Xu Shuxin also followed Xu Shuyan and put the towel in the bucket to wash it.

I had just finished washing and was about to go into the kitchen to cook when I heard Uncle Xu shouting outside, "Third brother and sister, are you back? Come with me to the old house quickly, my mother is not good!"

Uncle Xu's tone was very anxious.

If Xu Shuxin's courtyard door hadn't been locked from the inside, she would have just pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment she spoke out, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, who were fighting leisurely in the yard, immediately stopped fighting and shouted outside.

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan looked at each other. Xu Shuyan stayed next to the bamboo pole and continued to dry towels, while Xu Shuxin walked quickly to the courtyard door.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei also followed her, as if they would rush out as soon as she opened the door.

"Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, stop barking."

Xu Shuxin said to them, and then opened the courtyard door.

At this time Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuyue also came to the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Xu glanced at Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei in surprise, and then said hurriedly: "Third brother and sister, hurry up, come with me, my mother is dying."

Cui Lanhua was shocked, "How could it be? Wasn't my mother good before?"

"I don't know, stop talking, go over first, and a few girls will go over too." Aunt Xu urged.

Cui Lanhua didn't dare to delay. She took the lead and walked out of the door and said, "Yueyue, you guys are leaving too. Yueyue, please remember to lock the door."

After saying that, she hurriedly followed Uncle Xu without waiting for Xu Shuyue.

None of the Xu Shuxin sisters were in a hurry. They waited for Xu Shuyan to hang up the last towel and walk out before Xu Shuyue closed the courtyard door.

Xu Shuyu said: "Tell me, why did my milk suddenly become bad?"

Xu Shuyan curled her lips and guessed: "Could it be that after hearing the news about Fourth Uncle and Xu Guangzhong, she was so angry that she couldn't hold on anymore?"

Fifth sister Xu Shurou said sarcastically: "It's really possible. Nai is really precious. Her little son is really sent to a labor camp and he's not dead. Is it necessary to be so excited?"

Xu Shuxin said thoughtfully: "Maybe we will know the real reason when we go there."

"Then let's leave quickly." Xu Shuyu said excitedly.

And Cui Lanhua, who had already taken the first step with Uncle Xu, was also asking her sister-in-law, "Is Mom really that serious? Dad Xinxin hasn't come back yet. What if..."

If I come back late, I might not even see my mother-in-law for the last time.Aunt Xu also knew about this problem and said, "Your eldest brother has already gone to the commune, your second brother has also gone to several uncles' houses, and my eldest brother has gone to his aunt's house."

Hearing this, Cui Lanhua stopped talking.

The two of them walked in silence.

Cui Lanhua and her sister-in-law entered the Xu family's old house first, followed by the Xu Shuxin sisters.

When they arrived, many people had gathered in front of Mrs. Xu's bed, including people from the big, second and fourth bedrooms, as well as people close to the clan.

Seeing this, Xu Shuxin and her sisters did not squeeze in.

The room was really not big, and it was full of people. They didn't want to crowd with those people, and Mrs. Xu had never liked their sisters, and she didn't want to see them before she died.

In the commune state-owned hotel, in the kitchen, Xu Qingmu is cooking.

After more than a month of hard work, he has learned how to make some simple dishes.

However, Dongxing Commune is just a small commune. Not many people come to eat in state-owned restaurants, and the dishes served on weekdays are not very complicated.

There were only two or three people waiting outside to eat at this time, so the kitchen was not busy. Zhao Dashan didn't even have to do it himself. He just watched Xu Qingmu cooking from the side and gave some advice from time to time.

Xu Qingmu stirred the pot a few times, poured the fried rice noodles with green pepper and shredded pork into the plate, and said: Uncle Zhao, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, will you come to my house to celebrate it?My house is lively and there is no point in leaving you alone.

It is August [-]th now, and in two days it will be August [-]th, a festival for family reunion.

Thinking that Zhao Dashan was too lonely, Xu Qingmu discussed with his family and invited Zhao Dashan to celebrate the festival at home.

The weather isn't too cold now, so it's okay to stay at home for one night.

After hearing Xu Qingmu's words, Zhao Dashan was a little moved.

It has been many years since he spent the holidays with anyone. Every time he was alone at home, he was envious when he saw other families getting together.

It's a pity that his parents and brothers died during the war, and he was also injured in the war, so he never got married and was always alone.

By chance, he met Xu Qingmu's family and took Xu Qingmu as his disciple. He regarded Xu Qingmu as his son, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to let him pay for his job.

"Is it inconvenient?" Zhao Dashan asked.

Xu Qingmu smiled and said: "Uncle, it's nothing inconvenient. I just might have to trouble you to sleep in the main room for one night. Do you mind?"

Zhao Dashan shook his head, "I don't mind. I think back then, when we were fighting, we just fell on the ground and fell asleep. Who cared whether there was a bed or not..."

"Uncle Xu, someone is looking for you!" The voice of the hotel waiter Liu Qiuxiang came from outside.

Zhao Dashan immediately changed the topic and urged him, "Go and see if something happened at home? I'll do the rest."

"Then it's up to you, Uncle Zhao." Xu Qingmu said quickly, and then hurried outside.

When he saw Uncle Xu, Xu Qingmu was still surprised, "Brother? Why are you here looking for me?"

Xu Qingmu guessed in his mind: Isn't the eldest brother still thinking about my job?

"Third brother, come back with me quickly. Mom is dying."

"What?" Xu Qingmu was even more surprised and quickly reacted, "Brother, please wait for me. I will take a leave and go back with you."
