43. The second brother-in-law is invited
In fact, Qin Jianghao and I have been tired of eating dumplings recently, so we don't have much appetite when we see dumplings at this time, and I can't wait for my mother to cook quickly and eat more later.
Qin Jianghao was standing by the washing pond at this time to kill fish, and I was brought over by my mother to help him.
I can't kill fish, but I can still have tools for him to change the water.
He quickly stunned the fish, then shaved the scales and dissected the abdomen, and a pungent smell of blood and fishy filled the kitchen.
I covered my nose and stared, and he dug out the fish's guts and looked at me.
I thought to myself that he wouldn't be trying to play a prank on me and disgust me, but the next moment I saw him frown and ordered me, "What are you doing in a daze? ”
"Oh. "I quickly brought him the trash can.
He threw all the unwanted fish entrails in the trash and told me to take them out.
I couldn't smell it either, so I retched twice while tying a knot in the garbage bag and sealing it from the garbage can.
My mom had been out once before, and when she came in, she heard me retching, and now she saw me tying up a garbage bag, and she thought too much.
Then he walked over to me, glanced at Qin Jianghao, then at me, and then at the black garbage bag, and asked me again and again, "Luoluo, are you ......?"
I was at first confused by her question, "Is it what?"
She looked at Qin Jianghao again, and when she turned her head to look at me again, there was a hint of secret joy in her eyes, "It's been more than half a year, it's supposed to be a long time ago, how long have you been vomiting, have you ever gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
As soon as I heard this, my heart and liver were almost frightened out of her, and I hurriedly explained, "Mom, what do you think, I am smelling of fish." ”
My mother never believed my words, and she was stunned for only two seconds, and then turned her head to look at Qin Jianghao, because in her heart, she felt that Qin Jianghao would not lie and deceive people, because he never disdained to lie.
But how did she know about my marriage with Qin Jianghao. But it's because he told a big lie.
Qin Jianghao's appearance was a little embarrassed, the tips of his ears turned red, and he said in a muffled voice, "It's still early, Mom." ”
My mother stopped doing it in an instant, her face flashed with disappointment, and then she turned her head and began to look at me and criticize, "I said that you two, you are both not young, you have to hurry, and now people say that children are smarter to be born early." ”
Qin Jianghao and I both looked embarrassed, and then I suddenly remembered that morning, Qin Jianghao thought I slept with him, so he asked me to take birth control pills, and then turned his head to look at him and said to my mother: "Mom, Jiang Hao, he ...... He doesn't want children yet. ”
Giving birth to a child is not a woman's business alone, so someone has to be willing to match. Why does my mother only say that I am alone every time? So I simply don't do anything and put all the blame on Qin Jianghao. And then deliberately not to look at his face.
Only then did my mother set her eyes on Qin Jianghao's body, "Jiang Hao, ......"
Before my mother finished speaking, Qin Jianghao hurriedly pretended to be serious and well-behaved: "Mom, I know." ”
My mother smiled with satisfaction again, "Our child is the only one who gets married first, waiting for her brother to get married, I don't know what year and month it will go, there is no grandson to hold, you hurry up and try to get a grandson out for me, while I and your father can still hug, you can help you bring it when you are busy." ”
Qin Jianghao has been washing his fish, and I don't know if he heard it or not, but just like me, there was no squeak.
I was thinking about saying something to stop my mother, but at this moment, Lin Rong walked in, said that he was also helping us, and then asked if there was anything she could do to help.
She deliberately curry favor with Qin Jianghao before. My mother doesn't know, so compared to my eldest aunt, my mother still gives Lin Rong some face. Politely let her sit and wait for the meal to start, it's not busy here, so you don't need her to help.
But Lin Rong insisted on pretending to be virtuous and sensible, and when he saw my mother washing vegetables, he ran over and grabbed it to make it.
I quietly rolled my eyes at her, not wanting to see her hypocrisy, then picked up the garbage, said goodbye to my mother, and went out to take out the garbage.
When I was taking out the garbage, I happened to meet my neighbor's sister-in-law next door, and then because I hadn't seen him for a long time, the two of them stood outside and chatted for a while, and when I returned to the kitchen, I found that the scene in the kitchen at this time was different from when I first went out.
I saw that Qin Jianghao was putting the fish on the cutting board and cutting it, and Lin Rong didn't know when he had changed from washing vegetables to peeling garlic, but he was very close to Qin Jianghao, and he was only half a finger away from being picked up on him, and my mother didn't know where he went.
Qin Jianghao saw that I was back, and then tilted his chin slightly towards me, pointing at Lin Rong, there were no superfluous words and eye contact, but the meaning was obvious, it was for me to take Lin Rong away quickly.
Actually, if he couldn't get used to seeing anyone, he could have done it himself, but it might be because he was in the living room before, and he said the truth and stiffened the atmosphere, so he would endure Lin Rong so much at this time.
I couldn't think of any excuse to kick Lin Rong out of the kitchen for a while, so I had to walk over and take the knife in Qin Jianghao's hand, and then take him away, "My brother is looking for you and said that there is something I want to talk to you about." ”
Qin Jianghao didn't have any doubts, he simply gave me the kitchen knife, then took off his apron and helped me tie it, and then walked out.
As soon as his back disappeared at the door of the kitchen, Lin Rong immediately asked me about him, "Luoluo, I heard my mother say that my brother-in-law is the boss of his own company, what does he do?"
I thought about it, and then replied: "What kind of company is he, it's just that he rented a store to sell some small things, and then hired two people to help him take orders online, just like that Taobao online store." ”
Lin Rong asked with some disbelief, "Oh, really, didn't my mother say that his company is quite big?"
I smiled and said, "It's not that you don't know that the old people are chatting, if you talk today, you will pass through a few people's mouths tomorrow, and it will be very different from the original words." ”
Lin Rong asked again without giving up, "Then how much does he earn a year?" After a pause, he added a little cover up in the back, "I heard that the consumption in City C is quite high, can his store support your family's expenses?"
I avoided the important and told the truth, "I can't die of hunger, and at worst, I only have two packs of dumplings or noodles a day." Then he deliberately approached her again and whispered: "I only tell my cousin you alone, you have to help us keep it secret, you can't let my parents know, otherwise I will be nagged by them again, although Jiang Hao doesn't earn much, but others have backbone, and they will not accept help from my parents." ”
A flash of disdain quickly flashed in Lin Rong's eyes, and he let out an "oh" and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell others." Then he didn't ask Qin Jianghao about it again.
I thought she would finally be quiet, but after a while, she turned to my brother again, but not about my brother's business. After all, my brother did not run his own company, but worked in a relatively well-known company in our province, and it is no secret in terms of salary.
So she asked about my brother's hobbies and interests, and then said that she bought my brother a certain brand of limited edition lighter, and I don't know if my brother will like it.
I don't smoke, so I don't have much research on lighters, so although she talks about that brand of lighter with a little bit of a show-off, I don't know about it, so I don't say anything unusual, as if it disappointed her.
When she was done showing off herself, she forgot to ask my brother about his hobbies, and instead asked what I had bought for my brother.
I said lightly: "Bib." ”
She let out an "oh" and didn't say much.
At this time, my mother walked in from outside, holding a green onion with mud on her head and a cabbage, and I realized that she had just gone to her little vegetable patch in the backyard to chop vegetables.
As soon as Lin Rong saw my mother coming, he quickly pretended to be a hardworking and virtuous woman again, took the initiative to take the food in her hand, and began to wash it with water.
Obviously, when my mother and Qin Jianghao were not there before, she stood next to me and stood comfortably with her hands on her chest, and she didn't do anything at all.
My mother didn't want to rob her, so she only laughed and praised her for being diligent, and then went to find something to do.
After Lin Rong finished washing the dishes, he said that he was going to go to the bathroom, but as soon as he went out, he never came in again. My mom and I wished she wouldn't make a mess again, but I had to wash it all over again.
In the end, my mom and I were the only ones left in the kitchen.
Soon, the dishes needed were ready, my mother turned on the gas and started frying, and I was doing chores on the side, handing her a condiment or washing a pot and getting a plate or something from time to time.
"Second sister. "My sister-in-law ran in, and she came to help Qin Jianghao pass the word, "My second brother-in-law called you." ”
I turned back to her and asked, "What did he tell me for?"
"I don't know, he just said let me tell you to go out. ”
My mother was chasing me next to me, "You go out quickly, I can do it alone, it's rare for you to come back and forth once, he doesn't talk much to others, you go and accompany him." ”
"He's not a kid anymore. I muttered, then put down the plate in my hand, told my sister to stay in the kitchen to help my mother, and then walked out.
Qin Jianghao was not in the living room, I asked my dad, only to know that he said he was a little sleepy, and then went to my brother's room to catch up on sleep.
Since it's to catch up on sleep, what do you want me to do?
When I walked in the direction of my brother's room, I saw Lin Rong just like he had done to Qin Jianghao before, so he was quiet, but he couldn't help but stick to my brother and speak. And my aunt also gathered around to help find a topic.
Seriously, I think Lin Rong's temperament is inherited from my eldest aunt, and it is 100% inherited.
Look at how tacit their mother and daughter sing and harmonize!
