Chapter 15: A Scene from Dinner

The boys who returned late, whether they were 11-year-old Sanjin (Guan Xin) or 4-year-old Xiaoxi, seemed to be able to feel the low pressure at home, and they all shrank aside obediently.

The boys of the Guan family are enrolled in school when they are eight years old, and now they have reached the age of the three brothers of the big house, the three gold, silver lock, and iron egg.

The school is in a commune ten miles away, and it takes 3.4 hours a day to go back and forth between the two places, which may be too tiring, or it may be that the three brothers are not learning materials, in short, they often fish for three days and dry nets for two days.

Guan Laosi's daughter-in-law, Ma Dujuan, hurriedly carried her three-year-old son into the yard, and was pulled back to her parents' house by her sister-in-law just after work.

After a while, she forgot that it was her turn to cook today, if she delayed dinner tonight, and the others didn't say anything, she would definitely be yin and yang.

Fight yourself, but the other party doesn't dare. Whoever makes his mother's family in Tunli, he is a girl from the Ma family, but the toad is on the surface of his feet - not biting, responding to people.

Before she entered the outhouse, she smelled the smell of wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, and her heart was immediately relieved, but she forgot that her two nieces had not gone to work recently and ran to dig wild vegetables.

Ma Dujuan entered to take a look, and sure enough, it was the Xiaolan sisters of the second sister-in-law's family, she smiled gratefully at the two children, and stuffed the son in her arms into the arms of Sanjin on the side.

Sanjin pursed his lips in disgust, "Auntie, why don't you give it to my uncle?"

"Your uncle goes to the commune to do business, you hold it for a while, and when your uncle goes to work in the future, you will benefit from it. ”

Sanjin lowered his head and rolled his eyes vaguely.

It's like the truth.

He has been listening to his uncle since he was 8 years old and wants to be a city man, and now it has been three years, and he has not seen a single shadow, but he is about to become a second-rate.

Ma Dujuan turned around and snatched the spoon from his niece's hand, and said with a smile, "Go and rest, this is for the old aunt, but you can't be tired of my niece." ”

Guan Xiaozhu glanced at her sister, she really loves to suffer her life, and she has to pull her to suffer together. Look, this sweet-faced and ruthless old aunt moved her silly sister again.

She pulled Guan Xiaolan up and wanted to leave, "Let's go and call my father and mother to eat." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the sisters really leaving, Ma Dujuan frowned, and secretly wondered why the two nieces didn't say that they would help serve the dishes and chopsticks?

It's really weird.

The rule of the Guan family's dining has always been that the old men are all on the kang, and the women and children are on the eight-immortal table in the outhouse.

Since the population has increased, the little girl either sits on her mother's lap, or squats directly on the ground with a bowl, and there is absolutely no place for Xiaomei and them.

Especially when the New Year's festival arrives, there are distinguished guests and relatives at home, and the eight immortal tables have no women's share, and they have to eat for the last time.

In Guan Laosan's words, it is poor and exquisite, and the poorer you are, the more you love to pay attention to it. Sometimes he really wanted to pry his father's brain open and see what was different.

Why do you want to come out of one?

When the masters finished their meals and had to eat the leftovers, they couldn't remember it? If the family was divided into two rooms and made it look like strangers, it could not be as happy as the Chinese New Year's Eve.

When Guan Youshou entered the door, the head of the Eight Immortals Table sat down with his mother, and when he saw him come in, he didn't lift his eyelids, what was he afraid of?

His unrelenting appearance made Aunt Guan roll her eyes and stared at her third daughter-in-law. The sweet potatoes assigned to her mother and mother were picked, and the smallest one was picked.

Guan Ping'an sighed secretly, glad that she had eliminated the small sweet potatoes before, otherwise her grandmother would probably give them shamelessly.

One bowl of porridge per person, two sweet potatoes for adults and one for children. Tonight, because the eldest daughter-in-law seriously made Aunt Guan lose face, she was punished with one person and one sweet potato.

In addition to the dried sweet potatoes of the previous year, the small sweet potatoes stored now have rotten traces, and then they are made with the pot of boiling pig food, and they all smell of swill.

Coupled with that plate of mushy porridge, her grandmother also poured it densely to the old men in the back room, and now it is no different from water when it is put into her daughter-in-law's bowl.

Guan Ping'an looked at her mother worriedly with an indifferent face, and secretly thought that she was not worthy, and now her mother went to work non-stop as soon as she came back from the county seat.

But who made her grandmother a mother-in-law.

A name of unfilial piety came out, although it was not like her dynasty, which was exiled and exterminated, but it was also a bit similar in Tunli, and the spittle of the villagers could drown you.

waited for Aunt Guan to distribute the meals, and they didn't say a word one by one, and they all gobbled up.

For a moment, only the sound of "purring, purring, sucking, sucking" was left in the room.

In fact, the dinner was very simple, except for the muddy porridge, one sweet potato per person, and a small plate of pickles that killed the salt seller was placed in the middle of the table.

Guan Ping'an is really not used to this movement comparable to two pigs eating in the backyard. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly picked up the bowl and moved it back, so as not to spray other people's saliva into her bowl.

She was slow, holding the sweet potato that she couldn't hold with her little hands, drinking it in small sips, and her little eyes kept peeking at her brother, worried that he would not be enough.

As for her mother, she can't challenge her authority as a family member under her grandmother's nose.

From the fact that Aunt Guan punished her daughter-in-law but avoided her granddaughter, it is very illustrative that the inside and outside are very clear. I hope her brother can drink one more bowl of mushy porridge, forget about sweet potatoes, and eat more heartburn.

Guan Lao's son Tie Dan is 9 years old this year, he ate his sweet potatoes in three or two bites, and put down the empty bowl after snoring and snoring in the last bite, looking at the sweet potato she was holding.

Seeing Guan Ping'an's eyes looking at him, he quickly smiled at her with a split mouth, peeked at the third aunt Ye Xiuhe, and the big snot that flowed was sucked back by him with a "snort".

Guan Ping'an took a mouthful of porridge, and she was sick to her stomach, almost vomiting nausea, so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes and turned her head. If she squirts, she's fallen for the damn boy's trick!

Her grandmother will definitely take advantage of the topic, and the burning stick she stuffed just now may have been pondered, and if she doesn't do it well, it will cause trouble to her mother.

This dead kid is enough to bury it!

It's definitely deliberate, I want to bury her so much that she can't eat and vomit. This is also a lot of people, and her mother is by her side, otherwise she will grab it directly in the morning.

Not only her, but Guan Xiaolan and Guan Xiaozhu sisters originally wanted to keep half of it and bring it back to their mother, so they hurriedly stuffed it into their mouths.

Eat to your stomach, see where you grab it!

Liu Chunhua has never remembered whether to eat or not, and when she saw her youngest son's pitiful appearance, she hurriedly smiled flatteringly at Aunt Guan, "Tiedan, look for your milk, your milk hurts you the most." ”

Aunt Guan didn't raise her eyelids and ignored it.

Liu Chunhua didn't care about her mother-in-law's attitude, and pushed her son's bowl to her mother-in-law's hand, "Mother, you pour some more soup for the child." What's the difference between this and water? ”

"Eat if you want to eat, if you don't eat, get out of me!"

There was silence for a while......
