Chapter 40: The third aunt is troubled
When the third aunt came to the house during the Spring Festival, the grandmother saw that something was wrong with the two of them. Sangu, who usually likes to be lively, said very little on the second day of junior high school, and was still holding Kangkang in a daze.
My sister likes Kang Kang the most, a lot of it is she who amuses her little brother, and Kang Kang's laughter is thin, as if squeezed out of a very small gap.
Wenwen loves beauty at such a young age, and the third aunt shows off her dress, and she is very careful when she plays with her sister, for fear of soiling her new clothes.
The third brother-in-law is quite normal, he came that day in a newly bought two-box Xiali, and he was holding a big brother who had just bought it not long ago. The third brother-in-law had a smug expression, and when he chatted with his grandfather and father, he had the taste of a businessman in his mouth, constantly mentioning how to work hard this year, and saying regretful words such as being late in business.
It is said that the family has just bought a car, and it was relatively early to have a private car at that time, so the third aunt should be even happier, and this year's performance is unusual.
When the father noticed that his sister was absent-minded about what he was doing, he guessed that she must have something on his mind, but it was inconvenient for him to ask.
The mother pulled her father aside and whispered, "I'm afraid something is wrong with the third sister, it's very abnormal today." ”
Father also nodded: "I can also see it, you can ask after a while, she looks too rare." ”
At lunch, the third brother-in-law drank a lot of wine, and he brought a box of good wine to drink two bottles with his grandfather and father.
The mother finally had time to talk to the third aunt alone, but no matter how much the mother knocked on the side, she didn't get any information from the third aunt.
Aunt Yan and Uncle came back from her parents' house before the third aunt left, and the uncle hugged Kangkang, and the three of them were all dressed in brand new clothes, as if they were newly married and returned to their parents' house for the first time. The uncle was a little fatter, and the expression on his face was no longer as dull and stagnant as before, and he often showed a smile with shallow dimples.
When the third aunt saw that the uncle was back, she took Kang Kang again, and then they all went to the uncle's room.
My sister and Wenwen and I also ran in, and Aunt Yan said to the third aunt: "Third sister, I'll help my sister-in-law clean up, and you can sit with the fourth brother for a while." ”
When Aunt Yan left, there were only four of us children left in the house, Uncle and Third Aunt, I found that Third Aunt looked at Uncle's face, her eyes were a little red, and tears filled her sockets little by little. It's a sad look on his face now.
Wenwen also saw the tears of the third aunt, hugged the third aunt's leg and said, "Mom, why are you crying?"
I also asked, "Third aunt, why are you shedding tears? Who bullied you?"
The third aunt pretended to smile and said with an extremely unnatural expression: "Mom didn't cry, she was happy to see that your uncle had a son." On the first day of junior high school, don't tell your grandma and your mother for a while. ”
The third aunt's words, it is no problem to deceive the young Wenwen and her sister, but I think the third aunt's crying must not be happy to cry for the uncle, but she has unspeakable pain in her heart and is unwilling to let others know.
Without waiting for the third aunt to leave, I told my mother about what I saw in the house, and my mother said, "Don't tell grandma yet, wait until we understand the situation." Otherwise, your grandma should be worried again. ”
Until the three of them were about to get in the car and leave, the third aunt was still silent. The third aunt said to the father who sent him to the door: "Big brother, go back, I'll come back to see our father and mother when it's okay." "My father was looking at the sad face of the third aunt getting into the car.
The third brother-in-law snorted a mouth full of wine and said: "Next time Sanya comes back, let her open it by herself, and let her get a certificate after the New Year." ”
At that time, the state was not very strict about drunk driving, and the third brother-in-law drove away with a full body of alcohol.
Since the beginning of the third year of junior high school, Yangu and they have been busy again, and the business is good in the past few days of the New Year, although the winter scenery of Zao Lake is not as vibrant as in summer, but it is also another beautiful scenery, especially after a heavy snowfall, the snow white mountain sets off the blue lake water is extremely beautiful and picturesque.
Once it snows, Qiangzi will organize people to clean up the snow on the mountain road, and many villagers will help voluntarily to ensure the safety of tourists, as well as their own business and stable income.
At Shengzi Restaurant, groups of buddies and brothers came to him every three or five days, and a few people shouted at them to drink the wine until sunset.
Katsuko has been extremely nourishing this year, and sometimes she simply hands over the store to her sister, and she doesn't know where to run to be happy.
One day, Shengzi carried a few big fish caught in the lake in both hands, and when he walked through the grocery store, he said to Sister Xiaoru: "Tie Meizi, go to the store to eat fish at noon, you all come to me for a treat." ”
Only Sister Xiaoru and Third Sister Yan Gu were there that day, and when there were not many people at noon, the two of them went to Shengzi's store. Shengzi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw two people coming in, he hurriedly asked the cook's apprentice to bring the dishes up, four dishes, a fish was more than three catties, and the remaining three dishes were twice as much as usual, and he also beckoned his sister to eat with the chef and apprentice.
As he spoke, he carried a bottle of wine and said to Sister Xiaoru: "Sister Tie, I didn't have a drink with you during the New Year, how about we have a drink today?"
Sister Xiaoru said: "You haven't drunk enough every day, you have earned two dollars and your tail is in the sky, and you and those fox friends and dog friends are still disconnected? ”
Katsuko sat down, opened the wine, and said, "It's not even fifteen years, and in addition to my father and sister like me, there are only fox friends left." Iron girl, the three of us only have a bottle, Lao Qi (the cook) drinks a little less, and he still works in the afternoon, so we don't have a bottle of anything. Besides, you still have three sisters in the store, come on. ”
Sister Xiaoru smiled and said, "Such a big fish invited us to eat, you are not afraid of losing money, I am afraid that this year is in vain, right?"
Shengzi poured a large glass of wine for Sister Xiaoru and said, "We are not black, this fish is eaten, and if you sell another one, you will earn it back, I am familiar with a few fishing, it is fresh every day, when do you still want to eat, I will get you the water just out of the water in advance." ”
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Sister Xiaoru first, and then touched it with the cook and said, "Happy New Year, there are fish every year!"
That day, Sister Xiaoru felt that the fish was very good, the meat was delicate and delicious, and before she knew it, she drank a bottle with Shengzi, and Shengzi couldn't get enough of taking another bottle but was stopped by Sister Xiaoru, saying: "I'm not busy that day, I'll pour you well." ”
Katsuko was secretly happy in his heart, thinking: Hmph, I'm not your opponent in a fight, and I can't let you all three of you drink! ”
Seeing Shengzi's current appearance, Sister Xiaoru inexplicably felt a strange feeling in her heart, and when her heart moved, she quickly picked up the last glass of wine and drank it in one sip, and then said to Shengzi: "A big bowl of rice." ”
Katsuko waved his hand to his sister who was just about to get up, and said, "I will personally serve the boss today, and no one will move." With that, he went to the back kitchen.
Grandma and mother's worries were not superfluous, and as expected, the third aunt came back with a sad face just out of the first month.
No one paid attention to the door, and went straight to the grandmother's house to lie down on the kang with his head turned in, and he didn't say a word.
Grandma and Mother asked what was wrong several times, but they didn't look back or speak.
At noon, when I came to call the third aunt to eat, she waved her hand to me and said that she would not eat, and after waving her hand, she pulled a quilt over it and fell asleep.
Grandma came in and slapped the third aunt on the ass and said, "Don't talk to anyone who is angry, and pour all your anger on us, we didn't mess with you." ”
waited until four or five o'clock in the afternoon, got up slowly, walked to my sister Uncle who was watching TV in his arms, held his uncle's shoulders and was stunned for a while, and then said: "I'm hungry." "I don't know who she's talking to.
My sister shouted loudly outside: "Grandma, the third aunt is hungry!"
When my grandmother heard this, she went into the house, and saw the third aunt standing there and said, "Are you alive?"
Although grandma's tone was not good, the worries and worries in her heart were exposed by the last two words.
The third aunt said with a gloomy face: "Make green onion and dried noodle soup, and then pack two eggs." ”
When my sister heard this, she was also aroused, and she also said, "Grandma, I also eat poached eggs." ”
Grandma smiled and said to her sister, "Okay, give Dandan two eggs, a total of six eggs." With that, he went out.
After a while, Grandma came in with a big bowl of steaming clear soup noodles, put it on the table, turned around and went out again.
When he came in again, he had two poached eggs in each of the two small bowls in his hand, and said to his sister, "Dandan come down, you and your uncle are two each." ”
My sister was very obedient and got off the uncle, and the uncle let go of his hand very cooperatively. The younger sister climbed up on the chair and said to the third aunt, "Third aunt, eat noodles." ”
Grandma was helping the uncle set up the table, dividing the egg in half with a spoon, testing the temperature before putting it on the uncle's table, and touching the uncle's finger to hand the spoon to the uncle's hand.
The third aunt sat down and looked at a big bowl of hot somen soup, and tears fell down her eyes.
Grandma didn't speak or look at her, just watched her sister start to eat eggs in one bite, and then looked at the uncle to eat, thinking: I'll see how long you can hold back.
The third aunt shed a few tears, and it was estimated that she was really hungry, so she wiped the tears from her beautiful face with her hands and buried her head in eating noodles.
With two eggs and a bowl of noodles, the third aunt's face is much more ruddy, and her spirit is much better after eating and drinking.
The third aunt drank the last bit of soup and put the bowl down: "Mother, I want to divorce him!"
The words startled the grandmother who was cleaning up the uncle's bowl, and looked back at the third aunt in shock.
