200 The younger sister is a female supporting 40
When Dou Bing Niang heard Li Cuilan mention Dou Bing, tears immediately welled up.
After all, it is his own biological and biological son, and it has been more than two days since he took the train to come here, but it has been more than two days all the way.
As long as Dou Bing's mother thought that Dou Bing didn't know what to do in his hometown, she felt sad for a while. "Eldest sister, Dou Bing has my father and mother watching over there, but I really don't worry about him. When you say that, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”
As she said these words, Dou Bingniang's tears flowed out.
But after thinking about it again, Dou Bingniang didn't wait for Li Cuilan's persuasion to speak, so she wiped away her tears directly. "Eldest sister, I came to you with Xingshan this time, I also thought about it with her when I was on the way, we are counting on the eldest sister here for you to help find a place where you can work, while you are still young now, you can make more money, and when you are a few years later, you will return to your hometown, or you will come directly to the city to settle down. Wouldn't it be better if the two of us were closer at that time! ”
Dou Bing Niang said her thoughts, if it weren't for the sudden rumbling of her stomach, she would still continue the topic of her great ideals.
Dou Bing Niang thought too simply, he didn't know that with the two of them, a crippled woman and a woman, there was no possibility of completely gaining a foothold in the city!
Even if it's to make money, that's not possible
Li Cuilan listened to what Dou Bingniang said, but she was also a little worried.
After all, he had lived in the city for many years, so he was naturally aware of some of the things and conditions here.
On the surface, it looks glamorous, but in fact, there are many difficulties that outsiders can't imagine.
Whether it is the daily meals or the children's school expenses, it is only enough for the family to eat and drink in a month.
But whenever there is a major or minor illness, there is not so much money to deal with it.
But right now, Dou Bingniang has just come to the city, full of hope for the future, and she also understands this mood.
Therefore there was nothing to be born to hit him.
Looking at the rumbling sound of Dou Bingniang's stomach, Li Cuilan knew that they had caught a train. I'm afraid I didn't eat properly.
Thinking of this matter, Li Cuilan took out a box of biscuits from the food box and handed it to Dou Bingniang.
Originally, there was no snack box at home, but after having Meng Yuliang, in order to take care of the little one's belly. I also made a snack box.
When Li Cuilan took the snack box and came out, she chose the easiest food for Dou Bingniang to eat.
But in the eyes of Dou Bingniang, her sister-in-law is very stingy.
A box full of all kinds of small snacks, but he only took out a pack of cookies for himself.
Thinking of this matter, Dou Bingniang secretly cursed, and sure enough, the people in the city were the most angry.
They came all the way. In order to pretend to be pitiful, he didn't even eat breakfast.
I thought that at least I took her and Xingshan to the hotel to eat dumplings, as a catch and wash the dust, right?
But look at the preparations in the kitchen, vegetables and other things are basically things that can't be used at home anymore!
Even if it's in your own home, you can make it all by yourself, right?
Or maybe my mother's side has three or four large plates of dishes every day!
Looking at the portions prepared by Li Cuilan, Dou Bingniang sighed for a while, and was a little curious about whether she would be able to eat enough today.
Now that she was so hungry, Dou Bingniang didn't say anything to Li Cuilan, and after taking the biscuits, she responded, "Then the eldest sister is bothering you!" So he went to the living room.
On the other side of the living room, Li Xingshan slowly chatted with the old lady.
But more often than not, the old lady was asking, and Li Xingshan just answered without a word.
Bean Bing Niang brought the biscuits. The old lady hurriedly poured two glasses of water. "You eat this biscuit first to cushion your stomach. On this cold day, drink more hot water, and the wild ones will have stomach trouble after a while. ”
Bean Bingniang answered, and started eating.
As for Li Xingshan, he didn't say anything sullenly, but just ate it vigorously.
The old lady spoke beside her, some of the things she encountered after coming to this city, and then mentioned the fact that Xiao Guoliang was adopted and named Meng Yuliang.
Before the old lady finished talking about Meng Yuliang, and then mentioned Li Cuilan, who had heard Meng Yuchun open a candy store, Dou Bingniang was surprised. "Mother. You said that the eldest sister and their family adopted a boy? This adoption of a child is not as simple as raising a dog, the eldest sister and their family are not because of the illness of the jade spring, and they can't even afford to raise the eldest daughter! ”
Dou Bingniang made a sound here, and Li Cuilan in the kitchen also heard it.
I was stunned for a moment. Inexplicably, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking that Meng Yuliang and they should also go home from school for dinner after a while, if the child heard such words, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
It is precisely this relationship that when the old lady here was about to speak out and explain the causes and consequences of adopting Xiao Guoliang, Li Cuilan came out of the kitchen and stood at the door of the kitchen and made a sound. "Brother and sister. How can you describe it like that, I don't have a male baby with your brother-in-law, and I also have an eye for that child, so I naturally want to adopt him. Where would anyone equate a good child with a dog, and when he will come home for lunch, he can't talk nonsense in front of that child! ”
Speaking of which, Li Cuilan is also a little strict.
You must know that Meng Yuliang is like the third son in their family, and he is spoiled in the sky by the family on weekdays.
At this time, she was suddenly said by her brother and daughter-in-law, and even compared it with a dog, if it was an outsider like this, Li Cuilan would definitely go up and reason with the other party.
What kind of people are these, so good to compare children with dogs!
Li Cuilan spoke up, and finally suppressed her anger.
After all, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law had just arrived, so I could only make a noise to inform them.
If there is a next time, Li Cuilan will definitely not allow it.
Dou Bingniang was dumbfounded when she heard her eldest sister-in-law suddenly speak out so harshly.
Fortunately, the person reacted quickly, and explained with a smile. "Sister, I know! I'm just talking fast, but I'm a little curious about what that kid looks like. ”
How did such a family treat him as a baby?
You must know that when their bean soldiers were born, this aunt didn't come back to see it a few times.
As for the money given, it was even worse than what the old lady gave to herself in private.
Otherwise, Dou Bing Niang would not have remembered this incident so solidly.
Li Doubing, that's the only root of their old Li family. Thinking about it, Dou Bingniang despised the eldest sister-in-law in her heart.
Obviously, she pretended to be poor and asked the old lady to help raise her eldest daughter for 14 years, but now the old lady has just come here. and adopted men who were not related to them by blood.
Li Cuilan knew that her words might be a little heavier, but some things had to be said like this.
Adults know a lot about some things, but children can easily let them be innocently harmed.
Li Cuilan saw that Dou Bingniang knew what to do, so she didn't continue to say anything, and answered. And he spoke. "Wait until the evening, let's make dumplings for you to catch the wind, this noon I will make some trouble for you first, let's have a lively meal first."
After Li Cuilan finished speaking, she called out to the old lady. "Mother, you want to help me come to the kitchen to fry these vegetables, and I'll go to the street to buy some fried goods and come back. It's too cold today, so don't go out! ”
After Li Cuilan finished speaking, she took off her apron, said hello to Li Xingshan and his daughter-in-law at the same time, and went out in cotton clothes.
Dou Bing Niang took a look at it, and hurriedly put the biscuits and made a sound. "Eldest sister, it's a cold day. Just get some food, why don't you need to go out and buy any fried goods, it's expensive! ”
Dou Bingniang said this, but she was scolding in her heart.
This sister-in-law is really not ordinary stingy.
When they come from afar, they have to buy a chicken and a fish, or a large plate of pig's head meat, that's the way of hospitality, right?
But it's better here, just go get some fried goods and come back?
Looking at all the green vegetables in the kitchen, Dou Bingniang wanted to ask them if the Meng family had a litter of rabbits.
But now, they just came and didn't talk about it, so naturally they couldn't pick and choose to offend people.
Otherwise, the two of them are here, and they don't know each other well. There is certainly nothing to rely on.
At the moment, the eldest sister-in-law must have a good chance here, and when they gain a firm foothold here in the future, who will come here to scold them again!
When Li Cuilan heard Dou Bingniang say this, she laughed out loud. "Just buy both. After all, the things outside are not as delicious as those made by yourself. If you call early, I will ask your brother-in-law to find someone to pick you up, and my mother and I can also make dumplings for you to eat at home early. I'll have a meal first, and when I have dinner in the afternoon, I'll go to the vegetable market to buy more when I come back. I also happened to find you a good hotel so that you and your wife could stay for a few nights. ”
While Li Cuilan explained, she waved her hand and signaled Dou Bingniang not to worry about herself.
After all, this is a big winter, and if the family hadn't considered the nutritional problems of Meng Yuliang and their three siblings, they would definitely have to live with cabbage and radishes every day.
Fortunately, my own candy shop is still profitable, and the relationship at hand is a little looser, so that the living conditions of the family can be improved a little.
Naturally, it's just a matter of buying more fresh vegetables, and the rest is impossible.
The new house still needs to be renovated, and a lot of furniture has to be repurchased, although the furniture on the old house can be used, but after all, the population of the family is a lot more.
There are so many places that cost money, Li Cuilan suddenly felt that she had done the right thing by persuading Meng Wenhua to let her open a store early.
If it were only based on Meng Wenhua's salary, some things would definitely not be possible. Li Cuilan put on cotton clothes for the scarf and went out in a hurry.
But when she just went out, as soon as she thought of the words of Dou Bingniang, Li Cuilan sighed, and then turned around and went home.
There are some things that the old lady has to explain first, otherwise, I am afraid that according to the careful thinking of Dou Bingniang, she will definitely cause some trouble.
Thinking of this matter, Li Cuilan opened the door of the house and saw that Dou Bingniang was going to the kitchen.
Dou Bing Niang really wanted to go to the kitchen to talk to the old lady.
But she didn't expect that she was going over, and the eldest sister-in-law here, Li Cuilan, turned back again.
While being a little embarrassed, Dou Bingniang hurriedly explained. "Eldest sister, why did you come back so soon? I also thought about going to the kitchen to help my mother clean up! ”
While Dou Bingniang explained the words, Li Xingshan seemed to be looking at the sofa, and his hands were about to rummage through the drawers to see what good things were there, and he quickly took them back.
Although she was a little embarrassed, fortunately, Li Cuilan's eyes were on Dou Bingniang, so naturally she couldn't see Li Xingshan's actions.
Li Cuilan saw that Dou Bingniang was going to the kitchen, and she also understood that she had guessed correctly.
He smiled and explained. "Our mother is familiar with you in the kitchen, since you are a guest, it is good to rest, this train ride for several days is also strange and tiring, it is good to have our mother in the kitchen. I was thinking about seeing if I had enough eggs to eat at home, so I came back to take a look. ”
In the interval between Li Cuilan's three or two sentences, she made Dou Bingniang blush for a while, and then hurried back to the seat.
Li Cuilan didn't see what Li Xingshan was going to do, but Dou Bingniang was also very clear!
More often, the biggest reason why Dou Bingniang came to the kitchen was to help Li Xingshan watch the old lady.
But who would have thought that Li Cuilan, who had already left the house, would come home again!
Dou Bingniang quickly returned to the living room, and finally calmed down.
As for the kitchen, Li Cuilan whispered something to the old lady, but she didn't have the heart to look at it at all.
After Li Cuilan entered the kitchen, she spoke out with the old lady. "Mother, after a while, don't tell Xingshan and his family about opening a shop, otherwise they will know that I don't need my own people to open a shop, but hire people, and they will definitely be unhappy. This matter will wait for a few days, Lao Meng will arrange a stable job for them, let's talk about it! ”
Li Cuilan said this, but the old lady also understood.
After answering, the old lady spoke out and told Li Cuilan to reassure herself. (To be continued.) )
