Zhang looked back from time to time along the way with a basket and a basin, only feeling worried, but thinking about Carpenter Li's care for their mother and daughter, he felt that being scolded by his mother-in-law was nothing.

When I passed by Carpenter Li's house, I saw Carpenter Li wearing a single coat and planing wood, wearing so little, and still sweating, which showed that it was a waste of physical work.

"Brother Li, it's the New Year, and there's nothing to take out, this is the dumplings that have just been wrapped, you can take it back and cook it." Zhang didn't dare to come closer, and put the basket on the outside of the fence.

Carpenter Li came over with a planer, "Sister-in-law, there is only one thing in total, and now there is another mouthful, I am better alone." ”

As he spoke, Carpenter Li had already removed the fence, where would Zhang wait for him, "Enough, there are still two curtains at home, and I am even more embarrassed if you are polite." ”

Watching people trot away in a panic from a distance, Carpenter Li scratched his head, took the basket and lifted the green cloth on it, and piled up large dumplings like piglets in it, Carpenter Li smiled and carried the basket into the yard.

I didn't do any work anymore, so I just filled the pot with water and boiled it, just waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot.

Looking at the flickering flames in the stove, Carpenter Li remembered Zhang's appearance when he was coquettish, and couldn't help but laugh stupidly.

Where did Zhang know this, he hurriedly went home after returning the flour, and when he saw that Carpenter Li was not in the yard, he was inexplicably relieved, and strode straight to the house, and when he entered the house, Wang was putting dumplings into the pot.

The water in the pot here was also boiling, Zhang took the dumplings into the house from the outside, poured them into the hot water, and the peach blossoms clumsily took the dishes and chopsticks to set them up, and the tiger girl was already hungry, so she endured her stomach and sat on the kang.

When Zhang entered the house with a plate of dumplings, Peach Blossom felt that she could hear the sound of her own saliva, so she took a bite of one without hurry, and the aroma came to her nose smoothly.

For the first time since she arrived, she had eaten a decent meal, and her eyes were wet.

A dumpling went down in two bites, and when I looked up, I saw that the tiger girl didn't move the chopsticks, "Sister tiger girl, eat it." ”

"Sister, let's eat first. Hu Niu took the initiative to put a dumpling in the bowl for the peach blossoms, and when she saw Zhang come in, she said, "Auntie, eat quickly." ”

"Tiger girl is so good. Zhang picked up the apron and praised the tiger girl.

Zhang sat down and picked up the chopsticks, first put a dumpling in Hu Niu's bowl, "Eat more, cook so much." ”

The tiger girl responded happily, and then lowered her head and ate Qiwei, compared with the rude eating of the peach blossom, the tiger girl was very elegant, so that Zhang took a look at the tiger girl again.

How could Zhang not hate the widow in his heart, but looking at the child in front of him, he couldn't hate it, this is a sensible child, without his mother by his side, he can be so sensible, and he eats so well.

Halfway through the meal, Wang pushed the door in, "Sister-in-law, I see you cooked a lot of dumplings, there are always some left, right? ”

Wang's eyes fell directly on a plate of untouched dumplings on the table, and according to Zhang's temperament, he could only give the dumplings to others without saying anything.

Peach Blossom's eyes rolled and picked up the plate, "Mother, I'm done eating, I'll bring it to the milk." ”

Wang smiled and stepped forward to take the plate, "Don't fall on the ground, I'll take it." ”

Peach Blossom held the plate in her arms, bypassed the tiger girl and got off the kang, and walked to the West House without mentioning her shoes, shouting in her mouth, "Milk, your dumplings are not enough to eat, I sent them." ”

When I arrived at the house, Peach Blossom glanced at it, and there were really few dumplings on the table, so Peach Blossom smiled and said, "Originally, this was what my mother kept for tomorrow, so I cooked it together, and the second aunt said that your dumplings are not enough to eat, so my mother asked me to bring them, and I don't need to heat the dumplings tomorrow. ”

If you want to take advantage, this time you will dig your meat to see who takes advantage.

Wang followed up from the outhouse, "What are Peach Blossoms talking about, your mother didn't say this." ”

Peach Blossom blinked, "Second aunt, my mother didn't say it, but this is our breakfast tomorrow, you eat it today, and you have to bring us a copy tomorrow morning, what's wrong with that?"

Anyway, she's a child, and there's nothing she can't say.

Mrs. Cheng's face had already sunk when she heard Peach Blossom's words, where was she still in the mood to eat at this time, and she dropped her chopsticks with a snap, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat, you can't stop your mouth at home, and you're still worried about what others are in the bowl." ”

Obviously scolding Wang.

Wang was scolded, and his face couldn't be hung up, "Mother, you asked me to ask for it, and now it's back to blame me." ”

"Okay, let's go back with dumplings, there will be no good thing to see you two mothers. Mrs. Cheng was poked out of her mind, her face couldn't be hung up, and she drank to the peach blossoms on the side.

Peach Blossom held the dumplings, "Milk, then you won't eat it?"

"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat all day long, you foodie. Mrs. Cheng scolded Peach Blossom directly.

Cheng Lao Er couldn't see it for a long time on the side, his face was lost, his mother and wife saw that there were many dumplings in the East House, so they moved their minds, now it's okay, they see that they are not eaten for nothing, and they can't hang up on their faces, so they scold others.

Peach Blossom pouted, "Milk, did I say something wrong?"

Zhang also came over from the East House at this time, picked up the plate in Peach Blossom's arms and put it on the table, "Mother, Peach Blossom is young, don't worry about you." ”

When Mrs. Cheng saw Zhang, she scolded even more fiercely, "Eldest daughter-in-law, it is natural to say that you should be filial to your in-laws, your younger brother and sister just want dumplings, you have to pay them back, what if you let you give dumplings? ”

Zhang lowered his head.

Wang was proud this time, "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is a showman, this is the whole family worked hard to earn money for him, and the sister-in-law is distressed because of this thing, but it is not chilling." ”

"Second aunt, my family's noodles are still borrowed, and my mother doesn't have the power to honor her milk, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat what I want to eat with my milk. Peach Blossom said crisply.

You keep saying that the Zhang family has good things for you, so good, when I find you when I am hungry, you don't regret it.

What Peach Blossom said was unforgiving, and Mrs. Cheng also heard it, so she didn't think much about it, but it was just the truth of a child, but she couldn't help but hesitate.

If she really let the three mouths of the big house eat her, Mrs. Cheng would be reluctant.

"Okay, it's a big New Year. Cheng Lao Khan finally opened his mouth, and his tone was tough, "Peach Blossom Girl, take the dumplings back, you're all full, and you are now a family of three." ”

"Dad, no, I'll keep this plate of dumplings for you to eat. "Zhang didn't dare to take it back if he had the heart.

Mrs. Cheng had a cold face, "Okay, take it back, otherwise we won't be able to pay it back." ”

Mrs. Cheng spoke, and Zhang carefully picked up the plate, "Mother, then I will go back with Peach Blossom." ”

If she couldn't get Mrs. Cheng's words, Zhang's didn't take it to heart, and pulled the peach blossoms out of the house, and when she entered the east house, the tiger girl came forward, "Auntie, is it the tiger girl who is licking you in trouble?"

"No, the tiger girl is very well-behaved. Zhang touched Hu Niu's head weakly, put the plate on the table, and sat on the kang.

Peach Blossom couldn't help it, "Mother, you can do your filial piety, but we have to be able to support ourselves first, otherwise we will have to go to the milk to eat, mother, which one do you say is really filial piety?"

Peach Blossom's voice is very loud, I believe Dongwu must also be able to hear it, she is to say to Dongwu, don't bully their mother and daughter, they are going to starve, and they come to take advantage of it every day, thinking that Zhang's temperament is soft and easy to bully, so they will bully at will, but don't forget, if Zhang's side is hungry, you have to spit things out.

"Mother knows. Zhang also knew that what his daughter said was right.

Peach Blossom still wanted to say that they were really hungry, and they didn't necessarily know that the East House would give them food, but thinking that Tiger Niu was on the side, she would definitely make Tiger Niu suspicious if she said more, so she endured her impulse.

Hu Niu bit her lip tightly, "Sister, you can't talk to your aunt like this, how can your aunt also be your mother, an elder, we can't contradict the elders." ”
