When Haisheng's daughter-in-law heard this, she drank up the dumpling soup in the bowl in three or two bites, thought about it and said, "Hui'er, you wash this bowl quickly, go back now, and see what they are eating in the house?" Is it the same as what you see? ”

"Mother, isn't this okay? I don't want to go! ”

"If you still want to eat well in the future, if you really hide it over there, we can find another excuse for them to send food. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I'll go, I'll go now!"

Zhang Yue'er didn't worry about the eldest sister going over, so she had already paid careful attention to that side, and after listening to the words of the two mothers and daughters, she collected and changed the meals on the table.

"Yue'er, what are you?"

"Eldest sister, the dumplings you just sent over were all eaten by Zhang Xiaohui alone, and Haisheng's sister-in-law was sending her over to deliver the bowls, just to see what our family is eating now, and I want to find an opportunity to eat and drink in the future."

"Let's put it like this, Yue'er, you eat dumplings, let's put radishes to eat first, and then we'll talk about it when we send the bowl over."

As soon as Zhang Jiahang said, the brother and sister all took bowls and pretended to be fine, ready to eat.

After a while, the knocking and shouting outside were heard in the house, and Zhang Yueyao sat on the outermost and got up to open the door.

Zhang Xiaohui squeezed into the room with the small half of the open and swept the food on the table, and then said with a smile: "Yueyao, I'm here to return the bowl, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb your meal!" ”

"It's okay, is your grandfather eating?"

"Okay, my father said it was delicious, and I've finished eating. I'll go back first, you close the door and don't let the wind outside. ”

"Then you're leaving!"

As soon as he closed the door, he sat back on his stool.

Zhang Yue'er put her index finger to her mouth and silently "shh ”

"Yue'er, there are no dumplings at home, you eat alone!"

"Is there not enough food for our family? I just heard the eldest brother say this to the second brother and the third brother. ”

"Big brother, don't you pay attention to what you say, you see that Yue'er is worried!"

"Yue'er, did you hear that?"

"Hmm. Big brother, you said that I will eat according to the amount in the future, and you also said that you want to save it. ”

"It's okay to hear it, the eldest brother won't save Yue'er no matter how much he saves. In the future, Yue'er won't share food with her brother and sister, and when she moves home, her eldest brother will find a way to exchange money to buy food, and then give Yue'er more to do, okay? ”

"Okay."

"Yue'er is so good. Yueyao, you also heard what you said just now, let's do it at night, and save some food at home. ”

"Got it, big brother. I knew that you should have listened to me in the New Year's Day, save some food and don't do so much. ”

"It's not that the eldest brother doesn't follow you, but it's the first time in so many years that someone in our family has come to visit the New Year, so how can we not prepare more. If there are two or more people who come together, and they are planning for us, we must not be stingy. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it now. Fortunately, our family's coarse grains are still enough to eat, but the ones prepared for Yue'er were used a few days ago. When I sent dumplings to my sister-in-law before, they asked me if I had meat buns or something, but I refused, and I didn't know if I would be angry. ”

"There's no way to get angry, some of the better food in our family is saved for Yue'er to replenish her body, how can you give it again if it's not much. In the future, if you come again, you will say no, and if you can't say it again, I will go to Brother Haisheng and say. ”

"Good. Big brother, forget it this time, don't let Brother Haisheng know. ”

"Don't worry, I won't mention it."

Zhang Yue'er winced at them, followed by the sound of the movement of dishes and chopsticks, and said after a while: "Okay, she is gone, and she won't blush when she lies." Big brother, big sister, you really cooperated just now, I changed the food back, let's eat. ”

"Yue'er, our family has enough food left, you can eat it until the end of this year without saving it, even if you give some out, it doesn't matter, you don't have to watch it so closely."

"Third brother, when there is a disaster, food is worth more than silver, and sometimes you can't buy food with silver. Last winter there were disasters in both the south and the north, and this year's harvest must have been a little worse than those planted in the fields. Our family's current food can only be clinging to itself. And Haisheng's sister-in-law and Xiaohui are good every time, you are reluctant to eat why give them them. Favors, you come and go, I won't give them like this, it's useless to say anything. ”

"Yue'er, don't be angry, the third brother asked casually. You take most of the food in the house, and if you don't give it, then you won't send it, and the third brother won't rely on you any time. ”

"That's pretty much it. Big brother, second brother, and big sister, what are your opinions? ”

"This still needs to be asked, if the eldest brother does not agree, will he cooperate with you like your eldest sister? This time, Xiaohui will definitely talk to Haisheng's sister-in-law when she goes back, and they will not come to ask for it like this in the future. Of course, the second brother also agreed to this. ”

"Well, it's not like I'm being stingy. Grandpa said that before the disaster, many people in the village sold their stored grain to grain merchants, so the grain left by the sold people this year will not be able to eat when there is a harvest. Also, the last time our brother bought grain, the price of grain was nearly forty percent higher than before, and if this comparison, the price of grain in the future will only be higher than low for a period of time. At that time, food will be the thing of life, more important than silver. Therefore, our family must not let outsiders know how much food is stored, I will hide it tightly, but I must be more careful when I am ready to eat. ”

Zhang Jiahang also said after hearing this: "Yue'er is right, I just wanted to tell you about this matter when I cooperated with Yueyao like this just now." Since Yue'er has already said it, I won't say anything more. In the future, you all pay attention to it, if anyone comes to ask, they will only say that the food at home is only enough to eat until there is a harvest, if the eldest grandfather, the master of Manzi or Brother Jishan come to ask me. ”

"Got it, big brother." The brothers and sisters responded one by one.

"Alright, let's all eat."

Zhang Xiaohui here went home and learned what she saw and overheard, patted her chest and said: "Mother, I was scared to death just now, I was afraid that Yue'er and his eldest brother would really run to tell my father, let's not do that in the future, there is really a shortage of food over there." ”

"How could it be such a coincidence, it wouldn't be that you were eavesdropping outside, right?"

"Mother, what do you say! It was you before, what did Yueyao hide the delicious food and ask me to peek at it, where is it! It's not the same as what I've seen before. As soon as I went over and knocked on the door, it didn't take long for the door to open inside, and I couldn't hide it for such a short time. Besides, I'm eavesdropping outside, and they don't even know! ”

"You kid, what do you know! Maybe it's all for you to see and say to you. Whether it's true or not, these days when you're cooking over there, you go over and hang out to see if it's really what they say. ”

"Mother! Why don't you believe me! Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your father? It's someone else's business, and it's not our business. ”

"Silly girl, what are you afraid of. If you eat tightly, you won't do anything, and who will sue! If it's not tight, we can use your grandfather or your second uncle as an excuse to let the food be sent over there, and it's none of our business! Even if your father knows, there is your grandfather's share and your mother will not do anything to you. ”

"Alright then, I'll take a look."

Haisheng's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter agreed, and waited for her to see it. (To be continued.) )
