Chapter 396: The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family
The things brought by the boss of the Meng family are easy to pack, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be busy in a while. The mother-in-law was busy bringing fruits and small candy for the eldest grandson and the third granddaughter to eat, and the eldest daughter-in-law went around a few unlocked houses by herself to take a look.
The first three rooms are all flat-roofed, very small and short, with a length and width of only three meters, and a height of only two meters and five or six. The room they had just entered was supposed to be the foyer, the double doors were still very wide, there was no threshold, and the floor of the door opening was as flat as the ground outside. If you look at the bicycles and motorcycles neatly arranged on both sides of the foyer, you can see that such a doorway is to make it easier for cars to get in and out. There was a room on her right hand, a large iron stove (boiler room) with a fire, and it was warm inside, and she wore a cotton jacket into it, and immediately sweated and hurried out. There was also a room on the left-hand side, but the door was closed, and she didn't open the door to enter, but looked in through the window, and saw that it was full of miscellaneous items, and she thought that she needed a utility room like their farmhouse.
After reading the first three huts, I took a closer look at the small courtyard. Next to the back wall of the boiler room is a cement pool with bright white tiles on the perimeter and inside of the pool. A water pipe sticks out from the boiler room, which is usually used for washing clothes and vegetables, and this water pipe is connected to the hot water in the boiler room. There is also a small and low pool next to the large pool, on which is leaned against a mop tied with strips of cloth, and this small pool is needless to say that it is used for washing mops. No wonder she felt like the yard was as clean as it had been washed!
Follow this side of the fence to the north, but five or six meters wide is the staircase of the main house behind. The yard seemed too small to her, less than a third the size of her house. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family shook her head, this is not good in the city, the territory is too small. There was also a small door at the top of the staircase, which she curiously pushed open, and found that it was a small latrine, and the floor and walls were actually tiled.
Damn, this latrine is cleaner than her bedroom!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family patted her cheeks embarrassedly and went up the stairs. After walking seven or eight steps, it is a flat turn, one is a staircase that turns and continues upward, and the other is a passage of three rooms on the first floor. To the north of the passage is the kitchen and bathroom, and to the south is the ensuite where the bedroom and living room are connected. The first room is the suite where Caixia and her grandmother live, Caixia lives in the bedroom with a balcony on the south side, and Meng Lao and his wife live in the living room in the middle.
Before the eldest daughter-in-law stepped through the door, she saw her son and daughter, each holding a big and red apple, smiling and nibbling. She walked into the room and saw a large plate of large apples on a spotless glass coffee table. Although she also wanted to take one to taste, but her mother-in-law was not present, she did not move according to the reserved status of the guest, and turned her head to look at her mother-in-law's room.
The mother-in-law's bed, resting against the wall inside, with a curtain covering the head of the bed in the aisle and the front of the coffee table, resembles a tent made of floral cloth, which is tented around the bed.
Outside the curtain, on the side of the aisle, there was a bedside table with an incandescent lamp and a telephone. At the other end, there are two wardrobes against the wall, and on the side of the bed is a cabinet that can hold clothes or quilts, and in the middle is a gap for a TV, on which a 21-inch TV is placed.
Next to the wardrobe against the wall is a two-seater sofa, and opposite the sofa is a coffee table with apples and a tea tray. The floor is made of duck egg blue tiles, which are clean and bright, and it feels very comfortable to look at. Even if she knew that this was the temporary residence of her parents-in-law and her parents-in-law, not their family, she still couldn't help but die of envy. In the countryside, not to mention her like this, even those new houses that are ready for marriage are not so good.
"Where's Grandma?"
"Wash the red fruit in the kitchen!Mom, this apple is delicious, you can take a bite and taste it!"
"Eat it yourself! I'll go to the kitchen!"
Grandma Caixia took apples for her grandchildren to eat, and brought a small plate of strawberries to the kitchen opposite to wash, and by the way, she took dishes and chopsticks, and waited for the fritters and buns to be bought at home. She had just washed the strawberries and opened the cupboard to get the dishes and chopsticks, when the eldest daughter-in-law came in.
"There's an apple on the coffee table, why don't you take one and eat it?"
"Give it to the kids! I'll give it to you." ”
"Then you can eat strawberries!" and brought the plate over and put it on the coffee table. I took the dishes and chopsticks to the living room of the next room, where we would eat later. ”
"The house over there is for you, too?"
"Not specifically for us, mainly to entertain guests from a few tenants upstairs. Now that the Chinese New Year is on holiday, no one uses it, so you can arrange for your family to live. You sleep in the inner room with Xiao Miao, Xiao Shu sleeps in the living room outside with his father, and there are several folding beds, which can be used when you open them. It's much more convenient than when we were in the countryside!"
"Hah! I just saw that your house is just a little bit of a place, and I am still thinking, where is the meal? Where can we stay at night? ”
As soon as the old child heard that you were coming over for the New Year, he was so happy that he didn't do anything at that time, and was busy arranging a place for you to live. According to my meaning, I went to live in the Liu family's guest room, which was clean and convenient, with quilts, towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. The child's boss was unwilling, saying that he wanted to talk to the boss at night, and he didn't let him stay away. I just thought about tidying up the next room, and went to Liu's guest room to borrow quilts and bedding, so that you can live next door. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law followed her mother-in-law with a strawberry plate, wanting to see the house next door where they were going to stay at night.
The house next door has the same layout as the house where my mother-in-law lives, the living room is very simple, with a dining table and some chairs on the back, and a low cabinet for tea sets in the corner. The room inside is really not small, a floor-to-ceiling balcony occupies seven or eight square meters, and the whole side against the wall is a large wardrobe. A large and large double bed was placed in the middle, and the bed was already covered with quilts and futons, and two other beds were folded with quilts and futons, which seemed to be used to make beds for her son and uncle in the living room.
"Grandma! If I'm not afraid of your anger, you're blessed here! Grandma's relatives are really good, arranging such a good place to live for you, and such easy things to do. ”
When her father-in-law and mother-in-law were getting old, they had to leave their hometown and send people to live under the fence, but she said that her mother-in-law was doing really well here! Her mother-in-law lives in her granddaughter's house, not really under the fence, so the eldest daughter-in-law said this, she naturally wouldn't be angry.
After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, while taking the eldest daughter-in-law back to his house, he said with a smile: "Actually, my mother's family has no relatives in the county seat! This is all arranged by the Liu family for me and the child's seniority." Aren't you afraid that the two of you will be stupid and go to Liu's house to make trouble? That's why I told you that my mother's relatives helped me, and you shouldn't say that you missed your mouth when you go back. The second couple can really do anything, and the Liu family is kind enough to help the two of us have a place to live, but we can't make trouble for his family anymore. ”
"Oh!
The eldest daughter-in-law responded, and she was secretly surprised, it turned out that her father-in-law and mother-in-law left the house crying at the time, and they went to Liu's house, no wonder the child uncle chased him to his uncle's house and didn't catch up. I was worried that I hadn't slept well for more than a month, if it weren't for the child's boss calling back and asking the child's uncle to help with farming and explain some farming matters, I was afraid that the child's uncle would probably have a serious illness because of this.
As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the house, Meng Laohan and his eldest son came up from the staircase with fried dough sticks, buns and soybean sauce.
"I've bought the fritters, let's all come out for breakfast!"
The eldest daughter-in-law put down the strawberry plate and walked out, and said to the two children: "Xiaoshu and Xiaomiao, I just ate a big apple, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it now." ”
"Who said that?!
How could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man fill his stomach with an apple? Besides, as soon as he saw the fritters and soy milk, he remembered that Caixia once followed her grandmother home and brought back a lot of fritters. The old man went to make tofu, bought a pot of soy milk, and gave them to eat soy milk with sugar to soak fritters. After eating it once, he never forgot the taste. Now I can eat it again, but Sister Caixia doesn't know where it is?
