Chapter 13: Dare to Rummage My Things?

It is said that the people who grew up in the village are relatively strong and can withstand bumps, but in fact, they are a little generalized.

Everyone's body will have a limit to what it can bear, and overloading will inevitably cause problems. Just like the reason why machinery and equipment need regular maintenance in order to last longer

First of all, after more than 9 hours of hard work, and then non-stop taking care of the family, taking care of the children, cooking, and letting the son-in-law ridicule during the period, under the combined influence of physical fatigue and emotional depression, not to mention the middle-aged and elderly who are over half a hundred years old, even young adults may not be able to stand it. In addition, in the north at the end of October and the beginning of November, the minimum temperature has already dropped below zero degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference between day and night is seven or eight degrees.

Grandma's illness lasted for a week, and the high fever never went away. At that time, no matter how much my mother persuaded me, in order to save money, my grandmother resolutely did not go to the hospital, she had to take medicine by herself, and she "carried" it, no matter how much persuasion she took.

Coincidentally, this incident is actually a perfect confirmation of what Feng Menglong said in "Xing Shi Hengyan" that "the house leak coincides with the rain, and the broken ship encounters the head wind".

The frail mother had no choice but to grit her teeth and shoulder the task of taking care of the children, taking care of the elderly, and cooking for the only "laborer" in the family.

It is said that during the confinement period, you need to maintain, you need to rest, you can't do heavy work, you can't touch cold water, you can't ...... Countless forbidden matters are piled up in front of the mother, but the reality is that lying down and resting seems to be a very luxurious thing for the mother, and not only that, but she also "cycles" all these taboos more than once.

"Hey" is one of the long-standing names my mother has given to my father.

"You go buy some medicine for our mother, my mother may be tired these days. Usually at home, there is a lot of time to work, these days my mother takes care of us, and I haven't rested much when I come. Now the high fever not only does not go away, but the repeated trend is more serious, we have all eaten the cold medicine at home, and it is estimated that we can buy some antipyretic medicine to come down. I'm still in confinement and can't go out to buy it. You can run!" said to my father on the third night of my grandmother's illness, while eating.

"I said that I was here to serve the confinement child, not only did I not help, but I also had to spend money on medicine, and I don't know who is serving whom. The father munched on the noodles made by his mother, muttered dissatisfiedly, rolled his eyes from time to time, and glanced at the mother-in-law who was curled up and lying on the edge of the kang in disgust.

"Speak lower, don't let your mother hear, don't be afraid that others will know the joke? What is your mother doing, you don't know? You didn't eat the eggs she brought? If you don't take good care of your mother, don't go to work, and serve me and the children at home." It's not you who is sick, don't talk cool here!" Listening to this stunned boy scolding his mother, his mother naturally couldn't get angry, and she couldn't help but let her grandmother hear it, so she forcibly lowered her voice and said.

"You look in the mirror and see who you are? Let me serve you? I gave birth to a girl and blinded your heart!" The hero was afraid that his mother-in-law would not hear it, so he roared higher and higher, and his voice became louder and louder, "I earn money outside all day, and when I go home, I have to serve the old and the young, dream! Did I let her come? Did I let her get me eggs?"

The hero's vexatious and unkind behavior completely angered his mother, "Yes, that egg was brought to me by my mother to make up for my body, and as a result, you eat more than me every day! I cook and eat it by myself every day, fry it, and eat it with boiling water, and eat it with soy sauce, all kinds of tricks make you eat it all over again, if you are a man, you don't eat what my mother brought me!"

"My mother also knew that I had given birth to a child, and walked more than 40 miles to see me. Didn't you tell your family that I had a baby, how many days have I been, and I am not happy to visit my granddaughter, let alone take something, even if it is a hair, I am happy, where is it?"

"When we built the house, did we borrow money from them, and borrowed a penny? Didn't we not pay him back, but what did we say to keep for the eldest brother to build the house? Who did the eldest brother pay for the house when he got married? When the eldest brother got married, they bought the house, what did they give you when you got married? Think about it! In the end, it was our family who pooled 200 yuan to build the house, what did you pay for this family?"

"A big man eats, sleeps, and eats at home all day long, and you are quite reasonable, and you are busy earning money outside all day, hehe! You now earn about 10 yuan a month, which is not as much as when you are sick and at home! Now I have a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan, and my family spends all the money I have saved every month after I am busy at the construction site! Your money is not enough for your own cigarettes!" The more the mother talked, the more angry she became, this was clearly bullying, and she also bullied her mother in front of herself, which was really unbearable. I won't list all the uncivilized words in those quarrels.

There is nothing wrong with the environment making people.

After getting along with that hero day and night for a few years, the quarrel is also fluent a lot, compared with the initial silence and silent tears, the idea of fighting back and the rude vocabulary in this quarrel are even more blue, and there has been great progress, always holding the attitude of "I'm used to being beaten anyway, it's a big deal to be beaten again" attitude hardcore counterattack, in short, it's out of the way!

On the contrary, the hero lost his temper, and ended in silence and defeat in the battle.

When the parents quarreled, of course the grandmother had already woken up.

The feudal idea of "marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and marrying a dog, marrying a bench and walking" has been deeply rooted in her heart, and the idea of "the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife" has long bound her in the cage of thought.

So she took it for granted that the husband and wife quarreled, but she just pretended to sleep silently and shed tears. Although she didn't meddle in the affairs between husband and wife, she still understood it.

From their quarrel, Grandma learned a lot of information and stayed up all night. If you sit on pins and needles, you will be stabbed with a dull pain.

"It's all because of me that they quarreled, I shouldn't be sick, even if I'm sick, I can't lie down and rest, it's all my fault, I'm old, I'm useless......"

The self-blame lasted all night, and the grandmother had to endure it silently for the sake of the mother's family harmony, and the next day the fever did not subside, and she began to serve the family before and after, and she must work more and rest less, so as not to dislike her son-in-law.

......

Later, the grandmother found that the daily communication between her daughter and her son-in-law showed a certain regularity: the daughter provoked a conversation, the son-in-law continued to complain and abuse with dirty words, and then the daughter fought back in the same way...... It's just an infinite repetition of the cycle.

Of course, grandma will not turn a blind eye to this, and always persuades her son-in-law with a pleading tone:

"That child, what about your daughter-in-law's confinement, don't quarrel with her, don't make her angry, pay attention to proportion, after all, they are two. ”

"Kid, stop arguing, what should you do if you scare the child?"

"That child, don't say a word, don't upset your daughter-in-law. ”

......

No matter how you persuade, you can't resist the hero's "stormy" temper and "earth-shattering" roar, and the hero doesn't put his mother-in-law in his eyes at all, so he never takes the stubble, and often deliberately "ignores" the existence of the mother-in-law.

After several rounds of head-to-head confrontation, the final result either ended with the son-in-law's silence or the daughter's crying. It may be because of the mother-in-law, or it may be because of the child...... The hero has never displayed his "shocking" superb martial arts during this period.

On the 28th day of confinement, my grandmother made a wise decision in my life:

I won't come to my fourth daughter's house until I die!

It turns out that grandma is a man of his word.

On this day, the eggs brought by Grandma were finally exhausted with the joint efforts of the "whole family".

Grandma asked her mother in confusion: "Fourth daughter, don't you have anything else to eat at home except noodles and eggs? Didn't your son-in-law prepare some millet or white noodles for your "confinement"? Mom made you some gnocchi soup, boiled some porridge, and changed the taste. It's been almost a month, three meals of egg noodles a day, can your body stand it?"

"Mom, you can find it yourself. All I know is that the stunned boy prepared the noodles. ”

After listening to her mother's words, Grandma searched for it without any scruples.

You can see at a glance the furniture where you can put things.

As expected, Grandma found the white flour and peanuts that had been hidden. The excited look was like a child who had found candy, not to mention how happy: "Look, white noodles and peanuts, if you think about finding them earlier, you can also cook for my girl in a different way and eat some white noodles." ”

At that time, the family was poor, and it was considered the New Year if they could eat white flour peanuts.

Taking advantage of my grandmother's excitement, my mother smiled and said, "Let's eat pimple soup tonight, and I'll bring you back those peanuts when you leave, so that I can eat them fresh." ”

In the evening, my grandmother made a fragrant white gnocchi soup for the whole family. Unexpectedly, this "white gnocchi soup" caused a big disaster.

When the hero came home from work, he looked at the steaming white gnocchi soup, and suddenly had an appetite, took the dishes and chopsticks held by his grandmother, and ate three bowls in a row. It's delicious.

"Today's meal is so delicious, where did you get the white noodles? Did your mother buy it?" the hero rarely had a bright smile on his face.

"It wasn't bought by my mother, it was already in our family. It's under the noodle jar!" Seeing that the hero was smiling very happily, his mother also smiled and said, "Mom specially made a pimple soup for us, let us change the taste......"

didn't wait for my mother to finish speaking, I just heard a "click"!

The hero threw the chopsticks in his hand on the ground, the glass ballasts all over the ground made people shudder, the hearts of the two women trembled violently with their bodies, and the children were also frightened by this roar and cried "Wow".

"Old fellow, who let you rummage through my things without permission, who gave you the right?"
