3. Chapter 3

The Dai family was quiet for a while, the chickens stopped crowing, the rhubarb stopped barking, and after a long while, they heard the old lady of the Dai family and Fang Ping crying, "I should have let you hang myself if I knew it, and now the family is not at peace!" ”

Lin Mai and Dai Cheng's eyes turned red when they heard this, and they stood in front of Dai Jiao together, and only their daughters knew that they were distressed. And what Dai Jiao just said, the two of them occasionally and often pass through their brains, but they always can't catch it, and they don't understand it this time, so they feel a little wronged, and they are just wronged, why are their babies wronged like this?

There is no problem with entering the public, most of the people in the village live like this, and it is nothing if they suffer a lot, but they can't, every year and every month, right? For so many years, he hasn't lost a penny in his hand, even in the village, no one is like their family!

"You can't teach your daughter as a father, I'll help you!" , Since Dai Dad doesn't care about anything, Dai Cai is the big shopkeeper in the family, and he has been saying that he has been in charge of everything for a long time. I want to mention Dai Jiao when I pull my sleeves!

It's just that Dai Jiao just died once, Dai Zhu Lin Mai is not good in his heart, especially Dai Zhu, he has more thoughts in his heart, Dai Cheng can also go to college back then, isn't it because Dai Zhiqiang is provided at home, so it is delayed? Listening to what Fang Ping and his mother kept saying, if he is a child, is he not a child? If you don't go to college, you can't even eat an egg.

And his daughter, why should she marry a lame man who has a bad reputation in the village? Almost, almost all of them! Dai Zhu and Lin Mai said they disagreed before, but no one in the family listened to them at all, and even they took advantage of the absence of the two of them to pull their daughters to ......

"I will teach my daughter how it is, I don't have to worry about my eldest brother." This honest man couldn't get angry once for more than ten years, and for the first time, his face was tense, his eyes were motionless, and he frightened Dai Cai.

"Second brother, why are you yelling at your brother!" Grandma Dai was also surprised, how could this second family eat the gall of the ambitious leopard today, and they all started sideways, "I think you are used to this girl with a stinky problem, and if she doesn't want to, she will hang herself, so she should clean up!" ”

Dai Jiao's hanging was a big blow to Lin Mai and Dai Zhu, and now I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to think about it anymore, listening to what his mother said, the two of them are angry, but they can't deliver the goods to the mother who gave birth to him. Dai Zhugan stood and stopped Dai Cai, Lin Mai wiped his tears on the side, Dai Cheng clenched his fists, and stared at a few people on the side, looking at Dai Cai's eyes didn't look like he was looking at his uncle.

"Okay, it's going to give me an uneasy life early in the morning." Old Man Dai came out of the inner room, full of anger, "I can't eat yet." Glancing at his wife, "What are you howling in the morning, eating!" ”

Dai Ping, the old man, lived for nearly 60 years, and as a native of the countryside, he unswervingly implemented the core concept of raising children and preventing old age. So he doesn't care how the eldest daughter-in-law enters the door and squeezes the rest of the family, after all, when he gets old in the future, he can't walk, so he has to rely on this family.

But the situation is not right today, and the second family is going to be unable to suppress it.

"Okay, second child, who are you looking at with cross-eyed eyes? Ask your daughter-in-law to bring out the rice, and then go to the field to see it. He waved his hand, and Dai Zhu, who was originally tense, couldn't argue, lowered his head and sighed, he had been in a nest for more than ten years, how could he be hard for a while, didn't this break as soon as he poked?

Breakfast is more than a dozen nests with porridge, Dai Xin and her brother have an extra egg, and in the end, there is still no Dai Jiao and Dai Cheng.

Probably because of the quarrel just now, almost no one spoke at this meal, and it was eaten quietly. Dai Jiao didn't eat for a few days, her stomach was uncomfortable, and she didn't eat these coarse grains, and Dai Xin twisted her crotch and peeled the egg shell halfway through eating, and threw it to Ah Huang who was tied to the grinding plate after taking a bite, muttering, "I won't give you ...... for the dog to eat"

Dai Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to her. But Dai Cheng, Dai Dad and Dai Ma, their faces changed.

After the whole family finished eating, Lin Mai sneaked her into the stove room and brought out a bowl of egg noodles from the pot, "Eat quickly, I see you haven't eaten just now." ”

"I can't eat my nest, and my throat hurts." I haven't eaten for a few days and feel like my throat is thin, Dai Jiao just took a bite of the nest, made of cornmeal, it was too piercing. Lin Mai took out chopsticks, poured some balsamic vinegar into the noodles, stirred them open and handed them to her.

The fine flour is kneaded into a strong dough, and then rolled into a thin ball by Lin Mai's skillful hands, opened with a knife, and boiled twice in the boiling water. It's very simple, and there are no other ingredients, only the yellow and white egg liquid that melts after being blanched in hot water and a simple condiment.

Dai Jiao held the bowl and blew it cold, the vinegar fragrance floated, she took a sip of the soup gently, her eyes widened instantly, and she praised Lin Mai, "Mom, are you really good at this craft?" Lin Mai does have a pair of skillful hands, no matter how simple the meal is, it can be made by her very attractive, plus Dai Jiao has just gnawed on the nest head made of coarse grains, compared to it, of course, fine grains are more delicious.

"Eat, be quiet." A few strips of dust-stained cloth were set up at the door of the stove room to serve as curtains, Lin Mai secretly forgot to glance at it after opening it, and spit out a breath of turbidity, "It's all on the ground, I guess no one will see it." ”

has been held by Fang Ping for a long time, and Lin Mai even has the illusion of stealing chickens and touching dogs when she cooks a meal for her daughter.

"I'll go clean up the inside, you eat quickly, I'll come and wash the dishes later." Yesterday she was hungry, Dai Jiao ate completely gobbling up, but today it is different, no matter what, she is also well-educated, even if she squats on the ground with a broken bowl and sucks noodles, Lin Mai still has a feeling that her daughter is different.

She looked at it with a smile and took a while before she brought a basin of water to clean the house.

More people in the village only clean up once every Chinese New Year, but the Dai family is different, Dai Zhiqiang is in high school in the town and wants to be a college student. Several times Dai Zhiqiang came back with his classmates, he disliked some places that were black and black, and he looked disgusting, especially if he would lose face in front of his classmates.

Mrs. Dai decided in the blink of an eye and cleaned every day. But who wants to do this work, the adults in the family have to do farm work and have no time to say it, the work is still hard, the summer is enough, and in winter, the water can freeze the hands.

But you can't help but sweep, so that Dai Zhiqiang won't lose face? Fang Ping thought of a witty way, Dai Xin had chickenpox in those days, she asked Dai Jiao to take care of Dai Xin, and sure enough, Dai Jiao was also infected.

At that time, Dai Jiao had not graduated from elementary school, and she was just eleven or twelve years old. After contracting chickenpox, the class was a few days away, Fang Ping said that she couldn't keep up with the class, that is, she really couldn't keep up, and besides, with a Dai Zhiqiang, who went to college, how could he not treat his cousin badly?

Lin Mai and Dai Zhu really regard Fang Ping and Dai Cai as a family, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Dai Zhiqiang as their own son, Fang Ping fooled these two honest people in a few words, and when Dai Jiao's body is better and her studies are made up, the cleaning work will fall to her safely.

Lin Mai wiped the table, thinking about what had happened in the past few days. She is the most ordinary rural woman, when she was a girl, she listened to her parents, and when she was a daughter-in-law, she listened to Dai Zhu's words, he said that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are a family, and Zhiqiang is also a good one, and she can't treat her daughter badly when she is admitted to college, and she also listens.

But what is the status quo, as the girl casually said today, the alabaster with a heart? Dai Zhiqiang bought it all so expensive, but he never bought a gift for his uncle and aunt who also worked hard to provide for his education, even the cheapest cigarettes on the market.

There is also the work of the house, the tired and the bitter are always theirs, and there is never a time to rest. But the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family can always go into the city for a few days to see Dai Zhiqiang, and then in terms of food, Dai Cheng is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he will be scolded by the old man for eating too much, and he dislikes eating and not working, but what about Dai Zhiqiang, every time he comes back, good meat and vegetables are served, and the most important thing is that the eldest brother and sister-in-law, how dare they marry Jiaojiao to that kind of man?

and Dai Xin, why is she still in school......

After thinking about it a lot, this woman was shocked to realize that her family was so much worse than her eldest brother and sister-in-law?

Just as I was about to continue thinking deeply, there was a sudden crackling sound from the stove room outside, followed by a child's immature but vulgar scolding, "I'm *fuck* your mother's Dai Jiao, you dare to steal my things?" ”

Lin Mai was startled, hurriedly took his hand out of the basin, wiped it twice on his apron, and hurried to the kitchen.
