Chapter 350: Old Lady Meng's Troubles
Cao Xiang and Tao Xiang sisters were playing with Yuanyuan, but Liu Baiquan and Liu Yujin were worried about the electric fish.
"How can you come up with such a way to steal fish?
"If this one is plugged in, won't all the fish in that reservoir be electrocuted?"
Cao Xiang listened to the conversation between her father and grandfather while coaxing Yuanyuanle, and she was also upset when she listened.
It is said that electric fish is very harmful to fish, and it is likely to cause the extinction of aquatic products. She also wondered who had invented such a immoral electric fish device, and why didn't such a genius be on the right path?
Originally, she didn't want to use the space to take care of the reservoir, but now it seems that it is not enough to rely on ordinary people to look after the reservoir.
Zhu Linglong entered the hall from the kitchen, Cao Xiang immediately let go of Yuanyuan, helped her grandmother to sit down on the stool at the table, and asked Caixia about her situation. Before, I knew that Caixia was not doing well at home, and Cao Xiang couldn't think of any good ways at first. Later, when she heard that Caixia's grandmother and grandfather were quite reasonable, she asked her grandmother to take out a few hundred yuan, as well as milk, canned food, and wine, and asked Caixia's sister-in-law to send her back to her parents' house and ask her parents to take care of Caixia secretly. Then, she went back to school because of the start of school, and then she was busy and busy, and she didn't have time to ask Caixia about it, so she didn't know if Caixia was taken care of by her grandmother.
Zhu Linglong knew that her little granddaughter was worried about Caixia, and nodded with a smile: "She's fine now!" Your aunt just followed Caixia's sister-in-law to see her secretly yesterday, and she is now living behind her grandmother." Her grandmother took good care of her, bathing and washing her hair for about half a month, an egg every morning, a glass of milk at night, and a meal of meat at noon. Her sister-in-law said that she had turned white and gained weight! Ming'er killed pigs at home, and your aunt told Caixia's grandmother that they would secretly bring Caixia over tomorrow to play for a day. ”
Caixia is now eating, drinking and living behind her grandmother, and she is indeed doing well. Caixia has grown so big from snacks and drinking space products, she is naturally very smart, and the Liu family's teaching is not bad, Caixia is very sensible compared to other children of the Meng family, and the Meng family's grandmother only brought Caixia for two months, and this granddaughter is very rare.
Grandma Caixia specially invited the old couple to take Caixia to Liu's house to fight Zhu Huang because Feng Mingfang used to do so yesterday, and Grandma Caixia took advantage of the good sun today to bathe and wash Caixia's hair in a sheltered place. Ming'er changed into clean clothes and went to Liu's house cleanly.
"Caixia, is it cold?"
"It's not cold, grandma! The sun is warm and warm, not cold at all. ”
"That's good! Tomorrow I will go to your aunt's house to fight Zhu Huang, and you can't talk to anyone! If you let your mother know, you won't be able to eat and sleep at my house in the future." ”
"Well, I don't say anything to anyone, not to my sister. ”
When Caixia returned to Meng's house, she didn't know anyone, and she was frightened, only her sister Meng Xiangqin took her with her wherever she went, and she was the closest to her sister Xiangqin. Later, living behind her grandmother, she still likes her sister more than her grandmother. Two boiled eggs in the morning, one must be given to my sister, and I will tell my sister anything. Now she doesn't even tell her sister, but it is conceivable that in her heart, this matter is more important than her sister.
"Yes, your sister can't say that!"
After Grandma Caixia finished speaking, she gave Caixia soap, and the fragrance of the soap made her snort and muttered to herself: "What kind of soap is this? It smells so good!"
In this era, soap was also used in rural areas, but there was basically only one brand - red plum soap (I only remember that there is a plum word, I forgot whether it was a plum or a red plum), but most of them used Shanghai medicinal soap, the red kind. But these two things, the soap is not very fragrant, and the medicinal soap is still a little smelly. Feng Mingfang brought the most popular Lux soap sold in Liu's supermarket, which is now quite popular in the provincial capital, and almost every family has such a foreign product.
However, Liu's Lishi soap was a few years earlier, and when Caoxiang went to S City for the first time, he brought back a lot. Even Zhu Linglong and Liu Baiquan like to use it, saying that it is very comfortable to use Lux soap in winter, and the skin will not be dry or stinging (the elderly have dry skin and are prone to static electricity). Feng Mingfang knew that Caixia's mother would not prepare soap for Caixia to take a bath and balm for her face, and the Liu family had a lot of these things, so she naturally took a few with her when she came over this time.
Grandma Caixia rubbed Caixia's dirtiest knees, neck, ears, and elbows on her body, while muttering to herself: "Caixia's aunt is really willing, this soap is not cheap at first glance, and it is so casually used for children." ”
Caixia continued: "Auntie's family is a lot! My brothers and sisters and I use this to take a bath." ”
"Hey, I still don't care if I'm rich!"
There is no money, people can be willing to give her 200 yuan a month, eggs, chickens, ducks and geese, milk powder and wine, but in the end it is her own granddaughter and an outsider to the Liu family who has to take care of her? Mrs. Meng is a little puzzled, the Liu family is really redundant in this matter, no matter how bad Caixia's mother is to her own children, it is better than outsiders, right? !
If she can't figure it out, she can't figure it out, but since she has already received the money and things, she has to take care of this granddaughter. Fortunately, this granddaughter is sensible and filial, and she and the old man both like it, otherwise because of the trouble brought by this granddaughter, she really can't bear it.
Caixia has two eggs in the morning and a glass of milk in the evening, which is easy to do, and she can carry others on her back without letting the grandchildren know. The problem is a meal of meat at noon, how do you tell her to hide it? No, at the beginning, it was the youngest grandson of the third son's family who was as old as Caixia, and because he didn't go to school, he ate at her house every day. Up to now, the two children of the eldest son's family, the two children of the eldest daughter's family who married in Houzhuang, and Caixia's sister Xiangqin, come back from school at noon every day, and they don't go back to their own home, so they go directly to her house with their schoolbags and sit and wait for dinner.
It's not a joke for a half-grown child to eat a poor man! The rice jar in her house, which is filled with more than 500 catties of rice, can be seen when she looks at it. She was distressed to death, and she couldn't say it yet. She is still ignorant, and every day at noon, she only cares about grabbing meat for herself to eat, and she only eats a bowl of bibimbap every day because of the meat that is burned for Caixia. A small bowl of meat specially left at noon every day was given to her to eat at night, and she had to drink to her grandfather every time, and she still ate soup and bibimbap.
She felt sorry for her own rice and felt sorry for Caixia, but she couldn't say clearly that this was the livestock and meat that the Liu family gave Caixia to eat, and several grandchildren should not come to rob Caixia again. I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, let the second daughter-in-law know, and if I don't say anything, I will tear up with their old couple.
Fortunately, yesterday Caixia's aunt secretly came to see Caixia and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to see it. She probably knew that the meat and livestock she ate every day were all sent by the Liu family, and she was a little embarrassed, right?
As for the third son and eldest daughter, she didn't dare to expect them to send rice and meat. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will bring back more than I send!
