The midwife Chen's sister-in-law greeted Xiaohu after eating, and prepared to take her third son who was more than five years old and her little girl who was more than two years old to go home. Then I learned that the main family had prepared a lot of things for her, no wonder she repeatedly asked her to bring her children over to eat happy eggs on this day!

Each of the two children had a small gold pendant, and gave her a hundred taels of silver as a reward for her hard work in the past few months. He also gave red happy eggs, pastries, etc., and even filled two baskets.

When he came, he picked up two frames for two children, which could only be used to pick things, and the five-year-old son carefully led his little sister to walk on the ridge road, standing from time to time, and asking his mother for a piece of milk candy in his mouth, otherwise he would not leave. Sister-in-law Chen got these gifts today, and she received a hundred taels of honorarium that even her mother-in-law had never earned, and she was in a super good mood. The son and daughter are giving what they want, and after walking for a while, they put down the pick and look for the milk candy that the son and daughter love to eat and stuff it in the mouths of the two children. Usually it only takes half an hour to get home, but the mother and son walked for nearly two hours, and the sun was about to set.

Her mother-in-law was turning over the soil in the vegetable garden, and when she saw her daughter-in-law coming back with her grandchildren from afar, she put down the big shovel to meet her, and picked up the little granddaughter who was so tired that she was squatting on the ground and didn't want to walk anymore. When he stood up, he asked his daughter-in-law, "You came back from dinner?" ”

Sister-in-law Chen shook her head, "No! We came back after dinner, and the two children walked slowly, and they followed the food along the way, and stopped for a while, and so on for an afternoon. ”

The old lady was upset and muttered, "You mothers will come back from dinner there by the way." Why are you in such a hurry to get home? Saving a meal is a meal, and you won't live at all. You've been going back and forth for months for his house, shouldn't you stay for an extra dinner? ”

Sister-in-law Chen pouted. I don't want to say anything to my mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law is always so greedy and cheap, and she refuses to pay more. She can understand that her mother-in-law has suffered too much before, and now she is so calculating. But what she can't tolerate is that her mother-in-law just wants to take advantage of others, but she doesn't want to pay at all. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

She had been booked by the Wang family before, so she went over from time to time to see the situation of the pregnant woman, and her mother-in-law told her every day that she was wasting time, and the family's farm work was delayed. Now it's even more excessive. Even a dinner has to be taken care of. Nowadays, in this neighborhood, who doesn't eat meat if they want to eat meat, and drink soup when they want to drink soup?! Are you still guilty of being greedy for a dinner!?

When her mother-in-law saw that she did not speak, she stood aside and asked her to go to the front. When the daughter-in-law passed by, she looked at the picker covered with a flower cloth and asked, "What is this?" Is it something given by the Wang family? ”

"Hmmm! Some food and pastries given by the Wang family. ”

"It's like words, it's not in vain that you've been busy with the past few months!"

Sister-in-law Chen originally wanted to say that the Wang family also gave the two children gold pendants and one hundred taels of silver tickets, but she just wanted to see if there were people sticking to the ridge not far away. I endured it. Arrived at the doorstep. The eldest daughter, who has been married, stands at the door with her daughter in her arms to greet them.

"Satoko! How did you get back today? When did you get home? What about your eldest brother and second brother? ”

"You're back! Mother! When I got home, you had just left with your little brother and sister. The eldest brother and his father went to plough the fields and didn't come back, and the second brother took my family to dig yellow eel seedlings. ”

Sister-in-law Chen pursed her lips and asked angrily: "Didn't your father-in-law say that the yellow eel is a disaster and the crops are not allowed to be raised!" What do you want eel seedlings for? ”

Her eldest daughter followed her mother into the door and replied, "Mother! Don't ask, my father-in-law is crying because he regrets it. It's really crying! Her eldest daughter accentuated her tone again, confirming the fact that her father-in-law was crying.

Sister-in-law Chen has been pouted since she persuaded her in-laws to raise yellow eels in the rice fields, and her annoyance with her in-laws has never subsided. The family is also interested in never talking about her in-laws in front of her. Therefore, she really didn't know that her in-laws would regret it to the point of crying one day. She couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart, and finally asked with interest: "How can you regret it to the point of crying?" ”

Her eldest daughter also has a little complaint about her father-in-law. Therefore, he didn't cover up for his father-in-law, so he said directly: "My mother doesn't know that there was a big flood last year, and many seedling fields were flooded. Many of our people in Zhuangzi raised loaches and yellow eels in their rice fields, but the rice was confiscated, but the loaches and yellow eels were harvested. Because of the failed harvest of the waterlogged crops, the price of the Wang family's purchase was two cents more than before. Although their crops were not harvested, there was basically no loss. And my family has no other income except for enough food for the family to eat for a year. My father-in-law cried several times, and the New Year was not good! ”

Sister-in-law Chen entered the hall, put down the pick, lifted the flower cloth on the frame, and asked the eldest daughter: "Didn't your family raise a lot of ducks in the spring?" Isn't that an entry?! ”

"The tax money handed over to the government is not enough, but Li Zhen knows about my family's situation and takes the initiative to reduce the tax by half. Otherwise, we won't even be able to eat this year! ”

Sister-in-law Chen took out the pastries in the basket one by one and put them on the table, wanting to say that the girls deserve to live like this, but they felt that this was too hurtful, so they swallowed it in their stomachs. I took a box of square cakes and put it between my granddaughter's hands and let her hold it.

When her eldest daughter saw the box, she said happily: "Mother! This square cake is delicious. Last time you gave me a box, I didn't want to eat it, I hid it in the box, and it was all called Daquanzi to steal it, and I tasted a little bit left, which was fragrant, sweet and delicate. I'm afraid this is expensive to die, right? ”

Sister-in-law Chen glanced at her daughter angrily, and reproached her with hatred: "You! Who told you to hide what I gave my eldest granddaughter to eat? The result? It's all cheap for her father's mouth! ”

"Hey, hey! There is nothing to eat at home, and her father can't hold back his greed, not intentionally to grab food from his children. ”

Chen's sister-in-law's mother-in-law was actually very distressed when she saw her daughter-in-law give her granddaughter a box of square cakes, but she was embarrassed to say it.

Sister-in-law Chen took out two more dry sauce chickens and said, "This dry sauce chicken is very delicious, it is fragrant when fried and steamed." It's fresh and tender, and I can't get enough of it every time I go to Wang's house. Tonight, I will cut a leg and steam it on the rice pot for you to taste. ”

The old lady hugged her little granddaughter and said dissatisfiedly: "So many things are eaten, and they are all expensive and expensive, it is better to give silver." ”

Sister-in-law Chen reached out and lifted her coat. He took out a silver ticket from the pocket of one of his clothes and showed it to his mother-in-law, and said, "The Wang family gave me a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and also gave each of the two children a pure gold pendant." ”

The old lady's eyes were about to squeeze out, so she hurriedly bent down to put down her little granddaughter, took the silver ticket and looked at it upside down, and couldn't recognize what was written on it after reading it for a long time, so she returned it to her daughter-in-law stupidly. No way. Who told her to be old and have a bad memory! Often, the money is hidden in the front, and the back foot no longer knows where to hide, and when the money is urgently needed. A large family followed the rummaging through boxes and cabinets, digging rat holes to find money. The eldest guy couldn't stand this toss, so he unanimously asked that her eldest daughter-in-law should be in charge of the house, and the money would be in charge of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Sister-in-law Chen hadn't picked it up yet, but her eldest daughter picked it up. Let's see what a silver ticket of one hundred taels looks like. Sister-in-law Chen bent down and took off the gold pendants of the two children. After giving the mother-in-law an eye, you have to put it away, and put it on when the children are old enough to protect their own things.

Her mother-in-law trembled and held two small gold pendants, as if she couldn't see enough. "I've never seen gold like in my life, but I've seen it now." I didn't expect this Wang family to be so generous, at that time, when I delivered the first two to his family, I gave twenty taels of silver each time, I thought it was already the top of the sky. I didn't expect to give you so much silver and such a precious gold pendant today! ”

Sister-in-law Chen was packing up the pastry box, preparing to receive it in the box and put it in a while. While answering her mother-in-law: "The Wang family is a kind family, so I will always go over to take care of it." To say that this is a trivial matter in my opinion, the main reason is that some people like to treat other people's kindness as donkey liver and lungs, and if they don't do it well, they will get angry. This Wang family is different, when I first went over, I saw the two of them playing with two children. Later, I didn't believe that those two children were the grandchildren of the next generation, and they really treated them like my own children. The more I went, the more I felt that the Wang family couple was kind and courteous, so they had the heart to form a good fate. How do I know that they gave such a generous gift, I really don't want to refuse, but I didn't push it off several times. ”

When the old woman heard her daughter-in-law say that she didn't want to excuse herself, her heart trembled involuntarily, but fortunately, there were three words that didn't be pushed away, otherwise her heart attack would have exploded.

Before the things could be put away, Chen's sister-in-law and second son followed his brother-in-law back with a bamboo basket full of yellow eel seedlings. As soon as I saw that the table was full of delicious food, I threw the bamboo basket to the ground at once, picked up a box and was about to open it. His mother hurriedly hugged him and didn't let him move, "Don't move these unopened ones, I'll take a few boxes to your grandma's house in a few days." You go wash your hands, and I'll bring you the baked cake that your brother has opened. ”

Her mother-in-law muttered to her disapprovingly: "He is a teenager, what kind of pastries do he eat?" No waste! ”

The few who were listening on the side were obviously accustomed to the old lady's picking, and they were all busy as if they hadn't heard it.

Sister-in-law Chen knew that there was still a cold pot and a cold stove in the kitchen, so she took out a box of black cut and a box of baked cakes for her daughter to hold, and said to her daughter and son-in-law: "You better take these yellow eel seedlings back and put them in the field as soon as possible, and I won't leave you at home for dinner." Take these two boxes of pastries back to coax the children, and the toffee, and I'll grab two more handfuls for you and put them in your pockets. This is for the children, don't eat it secretly. Happy eggs will bring you six to take home, just enough for your children to scatter one. ”

The son-in-law knew that his mother-in-law was saying that he was stealing his daughter's pastry, so he smiled embarrassedly. Sister-in-law Chen also knew that this son-in-law was very pitiful, he had never eaten any desserts since he was a child, and it was not a big mistake to can't help but eat some children's things, so she stopped talking about it. After thinking for a while, he took out a box of square slice cakes and gave it to his eldest son-in-law, "Let's eat this for you!" ”

Her son-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then he took it excitedly without wiping the mud in his hands, put it in his armpit, and stared at his daughter-in-law. Sister-in-law Chen looked at the yellow eel seedlings in the bamboo basket, all of them were mixed together and spit white foam, looking really disgusting, so she urged them to go back quickly.

The old lady looked at the blink of an eye, and there were several boxes missing, and the boss was not happy. But this is all earned back by the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is given to her own daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, and she really has no reason to stop it. (To be continued.) )
