Chapter 7: Follow-up to the Egg Count (1)
The words were divided into two ends, and after Xia's mother hurriedly arrived at Aunt Zhao's house, she asked cheekily, "Sister-in-law, do you still have eggs at home?" Nan Nan fell into the river yesterday, I plan to make up for her, if not, nothing, I will ask other people's families." ”
After listening to Xia's mother's words, Aunt Zhao immediately took out 3 eggs and said, "There are still a few eggs at home, which are saved for Nizi to eat during confinement, I will give you three first, if you need it, I will give it to you." ”
Xia's mother rubbed her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much, I'll pay you back in two days." "Mother Xia knows in her heart that every family is short of food these days, like eggs are expensive things, and it is already rare for Aunt Zhao to borrow three.
Aunt Zhao waved her hand, "Don't worry, let's talk about it, there is no one in this village who has a difficult problem." After a pause, he looked at Xia's mother's face, and said, "Brother and sister, don't blame your sister-in-law for not speaking well, your baby heard the people in the village say that you should take care of it, don't be reluctant to give up these things, after all, life is the most important." And the old lady of your family too, you pay more attention and take care of the children more. ”
It's not that Xia Ma doesn't know about the discussion in the village, but she can't help it, after all, her mouth grows on someone else, what can she do? But it was really the first one to say it in front of Aunt Zhao like this. Xia's mother could only nod her head hurriedly and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what you said." But you also know my mother-in-law's temperament, alas!"
Aunt Zhao also understood Xia's worries, Mrs. Xia's temperament was really the only one who had searched the whole village, so she could only sigh, "If you have something to help, come here, you must be busy if you can help." ”
Xia Ma nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you said." That sister-in-law, I'll go first, and the family is still waiting. After talking to Aunt Zhao, Xia Ma hurried back, for fear that Mrs. Xia would say that she was lazy, and she would turn around and use this pair of women to be bad.
After Xia's mother arrived home, she saw Xia's father holding two bowls of egg custard, and the fire in her heart rose, needless to say, it must be for Dafang to eat. glanced at Dad Xia hatefully, and ran to the kitchen. When Xia's father saw Xia's mother's eyes, his heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly brought the egg custard to the hall, and then immediately ran to the kitchen, and then said flatteringly, "Xinyi, have you borrowed eggs?"
When Xia's mother heard this, the fire started again, and she said to Xia's father, "Egg custard, aren't you serving it?" Oh, it turned out that it wasn't for us to eat, so why are you blindly enthusiastic? Besides, what's wrong with the two children of the eldest brother's family, just steam the eggs... Broth. We're sick and can't eat yet. Your mother's heart is gone. ”
Xia's father knew that Xia's mother's words were ugly, but it was also the truth, and he said in his heart, "That's my mother, what can I do?" and then thought that if you don't give eggs, you can't eat egg custard, so he said to Xia's mother, "They eat egg custard, let's also give it to Nannan, steam two eggs, and make Nannan happy." ”
Xia's mother nodded, and said, "You go out first, if you want your mother to see it, you have to say it, it's okay, you can take a look at Nannan, let her get up first, and wait to eat egg custard." ”
Dad Xia felt that this made sense, so he went out of the kitchen and went straight to the house. I'm afraid that Dad Xia never dreamed of it, so he went to the house to wake up, and the family was in an uproar again because of this egg incident.
After Xia's father went out, Xia's mother began to make egg custard for Nannan, thinking that the child had a small appetite, so it was better to make two meals instead of Xia's father's words, so that Nannan could be better absorbed and better for the body. Thinking about the movements in his hands, he didn't stop, neatly broke the eggshell, and then began to steam. After waiting for the steaming, it was immediately brought out, but I didn't expect the sister-in-law Wang Guihua to come in, and when she saw the eggs, she immediately shouted, "Brother and sister, you are steaming egg custard behind your mother's back, it's amazing." ”
Xia's mother gestured at Wang Guihua and asked her to speak quietly, but how could Wang Guihua listen to Xia's mother's words, and pretended to understand and said loudly, "Brother and sister, what kind of gesture are you comparing, I can't understand it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xia immediately rushed to the kitchen, and when she saw the eggshell next to Xia's mother, it was as if Xia's mother had eaten her meat, and she said directly like crazy, ", it's a crime, I didn't expect that when I was looking for my daughter-in-law, I was blind and actually picked a thief daughter-in-law." Old man, I'm sorry for you, ruined the style of Lao Xia's family. What about the distant son, you hurry out and divorce this daughter-in-law who is a loser and steals. ”
When Xia's mother heard Mrs. Xia's heart-piercing words, she immediately couldn't stand it, and cried and shouted, "Mom, how can you wronged me? Don't you lock all the eggs in the house?
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she felt a little reasonable, thinking that she would think like this because of Wang Guihua's voice, but it would be even more impossible to let herself pull down her face and say a soft word, how could she hold the second room and the family in the future, so she shouted even more with her mouth, "You have become a thief, can you still believe your words? Maybe you secretly took the key, and then went to steal the eggs? Who knows if your words are true and that words are false?" The more Mrs. Xia spoke, the more she felt that she was reasonable, the more she ignored it, and began to scold, and the words became more and more ugly.
Xia's mother couldn't stand it anymore, crying and saying, "Mom, how can you think like this, I really don't have it, and the eggs are also borrowed from Zhao's sister-in-law's house." If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister-in-law Zhao, or you can ask Ah Yuan, he watched me go to Sister-in-law Zhao's house to borrow it. "The implication is that your son can testify to me, but I'm afraid that Mother Xia will never understand the thoughts of the best Mrs. Xia, and the second son is also an outsider.
Speaking of both ends, Xia's father was coaxing Xia Xia who was pretending to be tender to play in the house, and said cautiously, "Girl, I will eat the egg custard made by my mother in a while, are you happy?"
Xia Xia got goosebumps when she heard Xia's father's gentle tone, thinking that she was not a child, how could she talk like this. But he still said in a softer voice, "Wow, Dad has egg custard to eat, I'll give it to you and Mom to eat later, okay?" ”
When Xia's father heard his daughter's words, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he said beautifully, "Okay, let's be good." Now, will Dad put you on clothes?"
Xia Xia thought that she was in her 20s, and asked Xia's father to help her get dressed, which was really indescribable, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, I'm growing up, I want to wear it myself." ”
Dad Xia nodded and said, "Okay, then you can wear it yourself, if you don't know how to wear it, you can call Dad, okay?" ”
Xia Xia nodded and began to wear it herself, but she was shouting in her heart thinking that I, a person in my 20s, could not wear clothes well, I was really laughing to death.
I'm afraid Xia Xia just ignored her five-short figure, and now she is no longer a big girl in her 20s, but a five-year-old little bean. Coupled with yesterday's injury and too much thinking at night, it is destined that Xia Xia will not be able to successfully put on her clothes.
After Xia Xia tossed around, she found that the clothes were not right, and there were problems with how to get them, so she shouted to Xia's father with a weak heart, "Dad, come and help me, the clothes are wrong." ”
Dad Xia looked at Xia Xia's little adult, and laughed, "Okay, Dad will dress us up." When Xia Xia heard Xia's father's laughter, she thought she was laughing at her, so she kept twisting her body and got into Xia's father's arms. Xia's father patted Xia Xia's little buttocks, signaling her not to move, so as not to wear bad clothes.
The house was warm, but the incessant noise outside the house soon reached the ears of Xia's father and Xia Xia, disturbing the atmosphere at a glance. So, Xia's father said to Xia Xia, "Nan, I'll go out and have a look, can you put on your own shoes?"
Without waiting for Xia Xia's answer, Xia's father hurriedly went out, for fear that something would happen in a second at night.
Xia Xia watched Xia's father go out, thinking about the noise that had just come from outside, and the egg custard that Xia's father had just said, so she probably understood what was going on, it should be Xia's mother who steamed the egg custard, but it was discovered by Grandma Xia, so there was a quarrel.
Probably Xia Xia never dreamed that Xia's father and Xia's mother would actually borrow eggs in order to let her eat egg custard. But after the egg was discovered, Mrs. Xia actually went to wronged Xia's mother for stealing.
Author: It was very poor in that era, and it can be said that eggs were really expensive, and they were basically reserved for the sick and their children, so Mrs. Xia's reaction cannot be evaluated with the current eyes.
