Chapter 202: A pot of rice dumplings
Although it is already early spring, it is like the weather in the wax moon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Wang Yunlin finally finished buying noodles from the grain store and rushed to the gate of her yard, not only was it dark, but the wind was also strong, and it was still very cold.
She carried the things she had managed to get together, and rushed to her home eagerly, but she didn't want to be caught by her neighbor Lao Ding from the window as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, and stopped her.
Lao Ding looked a little abnormal today, speaking a little clueless, and his second daughter-in-law was ignorant, and she didn't know how to speak, and said that there was something she couldn't do on weekdays, so Wang Yunlin didn't have the same knowledge as her.
This made Wang Yunlin feel a little puzzled, but she could only politely agree and not interrupt.
Because people in Beijing often speak a little implicitly, if there is anything, they have to talk about a few idle words first, which is purely a bridge in the words, and it is a need to transition to the main topic.
But what is even more strange today is that Lao Ding didn't say anything ugly in the end, but just asked his wife to bring a big bag of flowering beans, and then said that his second daughter-in-law saw Hong Yanwu come back in the courtyard today, and asked Wang Yunlin to take it back for Hong Yanwu to taste.
Wang Yunlin wanted to excuse herself, but Lao Ding said that Hong Yanwu loved to eat the flowering beans he made when he was a child, and he still wanted to eat the big fart. The child has suffered for more than a year, and finally came home, which is more or less a heart, as long as the child accepts his Uncle Ding's affection.
Lao Ding's craftsmanship was actually learned from his father-in-law, which originated from the "Broken Dou Yuan" who set up a stall outside the Xuanwu Gate in the Jiaqing Dynasty. And because the Yuan family had no children, they recruited Lao Ding, who wanted to go to Beijing to avoid famine, as his son-in-law, so "Broken Dou Yuan" slowly became "Broken Dou Ding".
In the old Beijing, "Bangdou Yuan" has always been the best product for the people of the entire southern city, when they chatter and idle on cloudy days.
Whether it is peanuts, melon seeds, broken beans, flowering beans, or fried chestnuts in sugar, the taste is the best. During the New Year's holidays, or to catch up with weddings and funerals, there are even people from Beicheng who make a special trip to patronize.
It's a pity that when Lao Ding was running it, due to the economic depression during the Japanese puppet period, the good shop fell into a small stall. After the liberation, a public-private partnership was established, and Lao Ding threw away his hands to confiscate the stall and became a worker in a food factory. Since then, the people of the capital have completely lost this kind of mouth.
Speaking of which, the fried soybeans that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan used to supplement nutrition when they were learning art were fried by Lao Ding himself, which can also be regarded as a special blessing.
The weather is very cold, and the things in Wang Yunlin's hands are also heavy, and she is worried about her family, not to mention that Lao Ding is usually a little picky, and today he can take the initiative to send this bag of flowering beans, which is also quite a big face.
So Wang Yunlin was not very embarrassed, but she only gave in a little and accepted it.
At this point, Lao Ding was happy to frequently point his bald head melon to close the door and go back to the house, and let Wang Yunlin turn the house.
But when Wang Yunlin walked into the house excitedly, she found that the situation at home was completely beyond her imagination.
Although there was a light on in the hall, there was no one, and after she put the things on the table of the Eight Immortals, she found that all the people were staying in the side room where Hong Lu was recuperating.
When she walked to the door of the side house, she saw that the eldest son, Hong Yanzheng, was sitting on a stool in front of the sickbed, as if he was whispering something to his father.
Her daughter, Hong Yanru, stood aside with tears in her eyes, not even daring to come out.
And what worried her the most was that her youngest son, Hong Yanwu, whom she hadn't seen that year, knelt down in front of the couch in frustration!
Wang Yunlin naturally didn't know what this strange situation was, but when she saw her husband's gloomy face and this face, she realized that the matter might be very serious.
However, perhaps because the few people in the room were too focused on each other, none of them heard the sound of Wang Yunlin opening the door of the hall just now, and they didn't realize that she was in front of the door now.
It wasn't until Wang Yunlin took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with you?", that it attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
So, the three brothers and sisters all had slightly surprised expressions and called Mom in unison.
In Wang Yunlin's heart, although she was not close at all at this time, after all, mother and son were connected, and when she heard Hong Yanwu's "Mom", she almost shed tears.
At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, took a few steps and pounced, hugged Hong Yanwu without avoiding dirt and smell, and said "Son, you have suffered!"
But when she wanted to take a good look at Hong Yanwu's face again, and then carefully shushed the cold and asked for warmth, Hong Lucheng, who was lying crookedly, coughed and spoke again, just one sentence, which made her excitement sink again.
"Bang, bang...... Yun Lin, take the third child out to talk...... Throat...... I don't want to look at him anymore now. What's going on, the boss will tell you ......"
After a while, the Hong family except Hong Lucheng all went from the side house to the hall house.
Even though the stove in the hall was blazing, no one felt warm, and everyone felt that the atmosphere inside the house was even colder than outside.
This is a criticism meeting within the family, and the critic is Hong Yanwu. He stood with his hands down, looking like he knew he was guilty and respectful, just like in the past, this kind of discipline has been experienced too much in the Hong family.
And the main spokesperson, since Hong Yanzheng, sat on the stool and carefully described everything he knew to Wang Yunlin.
Next, Hong Yanru broke down and pleaded for Hong Yanwu, because in her opinion, everything started by her, and it really couldn't be blamed on her brother who wanted to protect her.
However, apparently Hong Yanzheng does not see it that way. He thinks that Hong Yanwu is an unchangeable nature, a dog can't change ****, he is simply a living ancestor who causes trouble, and a disaster star who itches his hands if he doesn't fight for a day.
He was also angry, and after scolding him, he was still complaining indignantly.
"This kid is so capable. I asked him to apologize, but not only did he not do it, but he also snatched the shopping book from someone else's hand in front of me. Well, shopping is back. But not only did he scold Mao Yuanfang and beat the salesman away, but he also injured his neighbor Master Shui, and frightened the old neighbors who usually looked down and didn't look up! Even the Ding family and the Su family in our courtyard heard him talking nonsense and threatening everyone. You said, you have offended so many people at once! Not only will there be trouble in the future, but how can we go out and meet people?"
Wang Yunlin didn't speak for a long time, and this kind of scene had completely eliminated her emotions of returning home.
But it didn't work after all if she didn't speak, and after a while, she finally remembered something, so she asked Hong Yanwu.
"Third child, when you went home today, did you see the second daughter-in-law of the Ding family?"
Hong Yanwu thought about it before remembering.
"Yes. When I entered the hospital, she interrogated me. ”
"You're being rude?"
"No, as soon as I told her who I was, she was so frightened that she closed the door, and behind the door she taught her children to ignore me, saying that I was a prisoner in a labor camp. ”
Having said that, Wang Yunlin figured everything out.
The meaning that Lao Ding actually wanted to express suddenly became clear, and the reason why Lao Ding sent things suddenly became clear.
But she also knew that in fact, this could not be blamed on Hong Yanwu's head, because everything was just a mistake done by the Ding family themselves, and it was made up by their own cups and snakes.
On the contrary, when Hong Yanwu finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that she didn't know whether it was self-pity or self-deprecation, which made her nose sour, and her heart was quite uncomfortable.
For this, she silently stared at Hong Yanwu's face and looked at it for a while before sighing.
"Third child, do you know what's wrong?"
"You know, as soon as I got angry, I forgot everything. I misunderstood Master Shui, and I shouldn't have been angry with my neighbors. In fact, if it were my own business, I could bear it, but I really couldn't see my sister getting angry in front of my eyes, and when my brain was hot, I ......"
"The third child, it's right for you to protect your sister, but you have to pay attention to ways and means, and you can't do it all nonsense. What's more, if you want to be reasonable, you must also be open-minded, and you can't let your anger overwhelm your reason. Don't forget, for so many years, we have relied on the help of many neighbors to get through safely until now. Although some people are harsh on us, you also have to think more about the benefits of others to us. ”
Although Wang Yunlin used a calm tone that was not obvious. But it still made Hong Yanwu feel very ashamed, he called his mother in a deep voice, and lowered his head.
And Wang Yunlin continued in an orderly manner, "Also, our Hong family talks about being lenient with others and strict with oneself. As the saying goes, the door of good fortune can be harmonious, the days to come are still long, and you can't prepare for anything to happen with others, your temper that doesn't care about it will make people worry as soon as it comes up, and the shot is heavy, but you must not make it again, no matter what you encounter in the future, you have to be tolerant of others!
Hong Yanwu smiled bitterly. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. Even if I don't want you to worry about it anymore and stop my father from being angry, I have to learn to endure and be kind to others. ”
"Alas, you wicked obstacle......"
Listening to her son's assurance, Wang Yunlin sighed again noncommittally and resentfully, and was not ready to say anything further, she stood up and finished with a sentence.
"Alright, let's do it first. How do you apologize to others and talk about it later, Mom will cook for you first. ”
None of the three brothers and sisters expected that their mother would be so tolerant, holding it high and letting it go, not lightly or repeatedly, and then let Hong Yanwu pass the test.
Hong Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief, and Hong Yanru frowned and wanted to help her mother cook, but Hong Yanzheng, who was still in her belly, quit.
"Mom, this kid is giving our Hong family a moral nature! If you are so lenient, it is strange that he can remember his sex for a long time! Today's matter is easy to say, at most, he twisted someone's shoulders and pushed others' heads, and it is not enough to commit a crime. But what if he does it again in the future? I don't know what tricks to play! If you want to prevent him from going to the execution ground, don't get used to him like this sooner ......."
Hong Yanzheng was angry that Wang Yunlin was partial to Hong Yanwu, but he didn't expect this sentence to make Wang Yunlin really annoyed.
"What are you talking about, are you cursing your brother to death for a crime? Why are you, who is an elder brother, so unforgiving as soon as you see your brother's face? What do you want me to do? Don't I believe what my son said, and I have to discount my legs and lock him up at home! I know that you annoy him when you are young, but I am his own mother, and I have only seen my son today for a year, so I want the family to have a reunion dinner with peace of mind!"
"Mom, I didn't mean that. But there's no hurry to eat, and this is a big deal about the future of the third child! You can't be vague like this, it's not right!"
Seeing that Hong Yanzheng was endless, Wang Yunlin was also really anxious, and she was unprecedentedly angry, she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the table of the Eight Immortals, with a "bump" sound.
"A pot of rice dumplings? That's right! Mom is a pot of rice dumplings! You have to eat when you're hungry, and you have to wear them when you're cold. As long as there is a pot of rice from my mother, I will always have your hot food to eat! I will have your clothes to wear! Don't think that I only care for your brother. If you have something, your mother will definitely protect you! But if your mother is gone, none of you will be in pain......
Wang Yunlin is famous for her good temper and is easy not to get angry. But because of this, once you get angry, everyone in the family, including Hong Lucheng, has to accommodate. Even when the Hong family was at its peak, Hong Lucheng was full of scenery outside, but he was still very afraid of his wife when he returned home.
Because of this, seeing that his mother was trembling with anger, Hong Yanzheng couldn't help but be deflated. (Native language, deflated, describing bitterness and unspeakable)
In this way, the Hong family's internal criticism meeting finally came to an end under Wang Yunlin's strong pressure, and then she took Hong Yanru to the kitchen to handle dinner.
And Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwu both knew that they were really angry with their mother today, they were standing in the hall and not staying, nor leaving, and they had nothing to say to each other, so they had to roll their eyes and pour boiled water bowl by bowl.
Between the two brothers, the atmosphere seemed to be very stiff.
As a result, after another moment, even Hong Yanru returned to the house lightly.
She whispered to her two brothers that her mother, who said "a pot of rice dumplings", had brought her away, and she hid in the small kitchen and cried...... (To be continued.) )
