Deng handed over everything to Li Zhu and walked quickly into the three-room wing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Deng saw Aunt Sun enter the house, and was busy supporting her waist to get up, but Aunt Sun hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said: "Don't, lie down, don't move if your child's body is not good." ”
Deng Shi saw Li Zhu's crockpot, basket of eggs and a chicken entering the house, and said busily, "Why did you buy so many things with four copper coins?" "No, the copper coins are in my bag." Li Zhu hurriedly took out the copper money and gave it to the Deng family, and when the Deng family saw it, he didn't know that it was the uncle's family's subsidy for his own family, and his heart was warm, and he thought that he would have the opportunity to repay it in the future. It's true, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door.
The three brothers, Li Hai, Li Bo and Li Tao, had already cleaned up at this time, washed their faces and listened to their parents' words, Li Hai said: "Dad, you have so many things without giving money, how did you come here?" I'll go too. As soon as she heard this, Aunt Sun laughed vigorously, Li Zhu was a sweat, Deng wanted to see his son's intelligence, and he must be cautious in the future. Li Zhu explained to Li Hai: "My father didn't steal anything, these were given by my uncle. After hearing this, Li Bo asked, "Why didn't Mama give it?" We heard Daddy and Grandma this morning. ”
When Aunt Sun heard this, her face sank, and she thought to herself, the people in this family are really eccentric, and they bully honest people. After hearing this, Deng called his son to his side and said, "Mama doesn't give it because it is more important to keep the chickens and eggs at home." Uncle's family gives, we have to be grateful, and we have to think about the uncle and the aunt in the future. ”
Aunt Sun opened her mouth to speak, and Deng said: "Auntie, I know that you always love our husband and wife, but the son does not say anything about his father's fault, and if there is anything wrong with his parents, don't bring it to his grandson." After hearing this, Aunt Sun liked Deng more and more. The baby girl Jian Ya nodded secretly in the audience, (although her head can't be nodded now,) thought to herself, this mother is knowledgeable, not bad, I don't know if I love money or not. If you are knowledgeable and love money, it will be even better. Money, money, money, why is the family so poor in this life. Not even eggs.
Because Jian Ya's body is a baby, her hearing has not grown, and she has not heard that this family is not divided. In the farmhouse, people with real eyes generally do not have anything else to eat, and they do not have the habit of opening their own small stoves. Now Li Zhu wants to make his own egg custard because of the doctor's instructions.
In Li Zhu's room, there was only a kang bed and a dowry mahogany cabinet of the Deng family, a wardrobe, and a table that could be placed on the kang.
When Aunt Sun came, she sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with Deng to relieve her fatigue. Li Zhu put down the chicken and eggs, picked up two more eggs, pulled Li Hai to the kitchen and took four bowls, asked his son to go back to the room first, and instructed: "Hai'er, you are the eldest brother, you carefully take the bowls back to the room, and divide the porridge from the crockpot to eat." The first bowl of porridge was put into the hands of the mother. Don't let your mother get out of bed, you know? ”
"Yes," Lehi replied. Li Zhu watched his son leave, turned around and started the stove, although he said that the gentleman was far away from cooking, but Li Zhu had not done anything when he was sold as an apprentice before, not to mention that he was now making it for his own daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, he was full of joy. He made two servings of egg custard neatly with his hands and feet, put a little lard in the bowl, and made the egg custard fragrant.
The kitchen is located next to the wing room of Mr. Li and Mama Li, just to prevent his family from opening a small stove. This incense attracted Mama Li over. Mama Li stared at the egg custard and said, "Zhu'er, where did you get this egg?" Li Zhu picked up the egg custard and said: "Min'er did some embroidery work earlier, and I got a few copper coins, so I went out to buy a few eggs." "The embroidery work done by the daughter-in-law is not included in the public account like the dowry, and whether you can get the dowry and embroidery money of the daughter-in-law depends on the ability of the mother-in-law.
When Mama Li heard this, she immediately shouted: "You are a loser, we have eggs in our family, you don't run towards our family, run out, how can you give birth to such a sharp-livered child." Li Zhu's face was dark and calm after hearing this, the public's eggs were sold and not given to his daughter-in-law.
Li Zhu returned to the room without saying a word, and when he entered the room, he saw Wang sitting on the edge of the bed, and Wu standing behind Wang, these two were the second brother's wife and concubine. From time to time, both of them glanced at the egg drop porridge on the table and the chickens and eggs next to the closet.
Seeing Li Zhu enter the room, staring at Li Zhu's egg custard, Wang couldn't help but say when he saw that no one was paying attention to him: "Third brother, why don't you take your chickens and eggs to your mother's place, when your daughter-in-law wants to eat them, just let your mother cook them and bring them over, you see, how dirty this good wing room will be when you put it in the room." ”
Li Zhu glanced at Wang, put down the custard and wanted to open his mouth, but Aunt Sun preemptively said: "Yo, what did you say, how can Xiucai's lady not understand any etiquette, this is bought with other people's dowry money, how can it be counted as a father?" "Wang has always held herself as a talented lady, and her status is higher than that of the village women here, and she has always been arrogant and ignorant of the people in the village.
After hearing this, Wang didn't look at Aunt Sun, and said: "If it is the dowry of my younger brother and sister, if you say it, the people in the family will misunderstand." After saying that, he got up and walked quickly out of the room, as if it were dirty. Wu Shi was silent and followed closely.
"Bah, something that looks like a dog," Aunt Sun said behind her.
Li Zhu handed the custard to Deng, and Deng said, "Give it to Li Hai." After hearing this, Lehi said, "Mother, my father said yesterday that we want to watch you eat an egg custard every day." In this way, the mother can get out of bed and get better faster. After hearing this, Deng wiped the corners of his eyes and took the custard. Li Zhu fed some to the little girl, but the girl was still young and couldn't eat at all, so she gave it to her son. Li Zhu watched Deng finish eating the custard, and Aunt Sun tirelessly nagged that the premature daughter-in-law should be more careful in confinement.
Li Zhu saw that he had nothing to do with himself, so he asked Li Hai to take the twins and help watch his sister, don't be tired of his mother, he grabbed the chicken and went to the kitchen to kill the chicken and stew the soup. After Li Zhu left, Aunt Sun went to the well in the courtyard to draw water and cleaned the inside and outside of the wing room again. Then he went back to his room, took a small bucket, fetched water and put it in the wing, and said, "Your room is a little far away from the well, and it is not convenient to put a bucket of water here." Deng was full of gratitude.
Li Zhu killed the chicken, cut it open, gave half of the chicken breast to Mama Li to add vegetables at night, stewed the chicken feet, washed the other half, put it in a bowl, and turned the other bowl upside down, and took it back to the room to stew it for the next time. He waited until the stewed chicken feet were ready before taking them back to the room.
After returning to the room, he handed it to Aunt Sun, Li Hai, Li Bo and Li Tao, and instructed him to watch Deng eat it, so he took a hoe and went to the field to harvest. There is Aunt Sun at home, and he is quite relieved.
