Chapter 21: Sharing Gossip
The old lady was anxious and wanted to get angry, Tian Yuxiu came over, holding half a bowl of fried meatballs in her hand, and said with a smile as soon as she entered the room: "You guys also fried croquettes? Coincidentally, I just fried some tofu balls, but they are fragrant, bring some for you." Come, daughter-in-law Weiguo, you take it and pour it out for me, I'll wait to go back and make lunch!"
Half a bowl of balls, pretending to be unreal, add up to a few, but in this era, only close people can afford to send balls, Tao Zhenzhen saw that the old lady was silent, so he smiled and took it and poured it into his empty bowl, "Thank you, second aunt." ”
Tian Yuxiu smiled very gently, "Thank you for being a family." What sister-in-law, then I'll go back first. ”
Tao Zhenzhen hurriedly grabbed most of the home-fried meatballs from the empty bowl that was poured out, "The second aunt will take it back and taste my fried ones, my second sister-in-law's craftsmanship is still quite good." ”
Tian Yuxiu didn't refuse, took it and said with a smile: "Ouch, it's still the daughter-in-law of Weiguo who is sensible, generous, okay, the second aunt also tastes your family's balls," she walked two steps to the door, and was about to open the door, when she suddenly turned around and said to Tao Zhenzhen with emotion: "Oh, I just said that you are not like the outside world, what a good child, live well with Weiguo, that is also a good child, ......it's a pity, it's a pity" shook her head and left, leaving a confused Tao Zhenzhen, what is a pity?
She didn't have time to think about it, as soon as the door was closed, the old lady covered her chest and screamed, Tao Zhenzhen was stunned, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your heart? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
The old lady screamed louder, and the woman cursed her for having a heart problem? Her heart and eyes were too bad, right? She was so angry that she didn't forget to teach her a lesson: "What kind of hospital do you go to? That doesn't cost money? Why do you have money to burn your bags?"
Tao Zhen is really not convinced, she is very kind, she can't ask for money and die!"Of course you have to go to the hospital if you are sick, you see that you are in such a bad pain, what should I do if I don't go to the hospital and delay? Heart disease can really be big or small, otherwise, go and prescribe some medicine......
Old Zhu Yuxia put down the fence in her hand and stepped forward to help the old lady, "Mom, go into the house and lie down for a while!" turned her head and scolded her: "Don't say a word, Mom makes you angry." ”
Didn't you just eat a ball, as for that?
The old lady covered her chest and entered the house, lying on the kang and getting angry, "People can enjoy light blessings when they marry a daughter-in-law, I am good, marrying a daughter-in-law and coming back is not enough to disturb the family, marrying another one is still this thing...... Ouch I'm so angry, why is she so generous, dare not use her to take money, can't live a thing, people bought her with a few pills, and returned such a big bowl, why does my chest hurt so much......"
Tao Zhenzhen really thought that the old lady was sick at first, but when she heard these words, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time with her mouth half open.
She is a courtesy, and the balls brought by others are not for her alone, is it difficult for the old lady to only accept gifts and not return gifts?
The fourth daughter-in-law saw that there were only the two of them in the outhouse, and walked up to her and said in a breathy voice: "This is an old show, my mother and the second aunt have a bad relationship, and they come here like this every year......
Tao Zhenzhen suddenly realized, she said that she knew the second aunt and her family were also outside, and she had never seen the second aunt at home.
During this time, she had a close relationship with Aunt Li, and Aunt Li said a lot about the Yang family.
Yang Weiguo's father Yang Mingli is the youngest brother of the old man, who died outside as an apprentice in the city, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 49, a beautiful woman holding a newborn baby came to the village, saying that it was Yang Mingli's wife, and the old man Yang also said that he had seen this brother and sister in the city, and someone testified that the woman stayed naturally, and later gave birth to Yang Weiguo.
The woman lived alone with Yang Weiguo at the foot of the mountain at the back of the village, and no one dared to bully her with Master Yang taking care of her, but it was a bitter life, at first glance, it was a city man who had never done any farm work, and suffered a lot, and then when Yang Weiguo was five years old, she couldn't afford to fall ill and died within two months.
When he was dying, he entrusted the child to Old Man Yang, and Old Man Yang promised to raise his nephew like his own son in front of the villagers.
Aunt Li only knows so much, and the rest is the Yang family's face-saving affection for Yang Weiguo, in fact, these are also human feelings in Tao Zhenzhen's opinion.
After all, it was a difficult time, and she felt that most people couldn't do it, after all, raising the child peacefully was already a kindness, and the rest didn't have to be demanding.
At that time, I knew that this second aunt was related to Yang Weiguo, and there was an old lady, a cold mother-in-law, so she didn't think much about the second aunt's enthusiasm for her, now
I think this second aunt is also an interesting person.
It is said that the two families rarely have contact with each other, but every year during the Chinese New Year, the second aunt will send some food, such as this half bowl of only a few balls, or half a steamed bun with three noodles...... Yes, you heard it right, it's half a ......
Tao Zhenzhen was dumbfounded when she heard this, and couldn't help but whisper: "What about the old lady?" According to her, either she will completely tear her face and refuse to accept it, or she will happily accept the same gift and return the same gift, everyone will be happy, no one will take advantage of anyone, and she will have a good reputation in front of outsiders.
The fourth daughter-in-law quietly glanced into the inner room and whispered to her: "The old lady doesn't return the gift every time, thinking that she uses those to bury her on purpose......" She paused and said vaguely: "But our father won't let me, sometimes the eldest brother can't look past and give the second aunt a return gift......
She listened to the picture that suddenly popped up in her mind, she smiled with crooked eyebrows, ouch in this village, it seems that there are not too many things that can make the old lady deflated, this second aunt is really interesting.
"Fortunately, the second aunt comes here once a year. The fourth daughter-in-law whispered again.
Tao Zhenzhen looked at the young woman who was cautious and had no sense of existence in everything she did at home, and pondered her unfinished subtext in her heart: Is it too much, and the old lady is afraid that she is really angry? Or will there be more return gifts if you come too much?
But no matter what, this woman who is the same age as herself, who has not had children for more than two years after being married and is not treated well by the old lady, is not as dull and honest as she knew before.
"That's really," she laughed for a while and whispered, "Second Aunt is also quite interesting, I quite like her." ”
A smile flashed on the face of the fourth daughter-in-law, and she was about to speak, when Zhu Yuxia came out of the east house, she immediately lowered her head and was silent, as if the person who shared the gossip with her just now was not alone.
Zhu Yuxia glanced at the two of them, and looked at Tao Zhenzhen coldly: "You are generous, take the things at home as favors......
