Chapter 22 Bride Price

Ma Guihua said this arrogantly, fortunately, it finally reined in, it doesn't sound too ugly and annoying, it must have been taught a hard lesson by Li Guifen before, and the routine was honest for a while.

Cui Hehua, the second sister-in-law of the Zhang family, looked at her with some surprise, and then saw a dirt footprint kicked out of her pants, the mark was still very fresh and the feet were small, Cui Hehua thought about it, and knew who kicked it.

She honestly didn't say anything, she just stepped forward to take a hand and began to set up the meal, and his eldest son, Zhang Anping, saw that his mother was starting to work, and he also went up to move the stool.

Han Qianfang, the third sister-in-law of the Zhang family, laughed out loud, she whispered to Ma Guihua: "Sister-in-law fell in the kitchen, it can be seen that the kitchen is too dark, the ground is uneven, and cooking at night is always stumbling." ”

"No, I asked your second brother to repair the kitchen in our yard a few days ago, and now a kerosene lamp has been installed, which is much more convenient to use, and you can persuade the eldest brother to get one in the kitchen."

When Ma Guihua heard this, she immediately nodded, although she rarely cooks by herself, and Zhang Jianguo, the eldest of the Zhang family, works in the kitchen, but in the end it is her husband, and she also wants to be considerate.

Their voices were very low when they spoke, and Shen Yuehua and Li Guifen were talking, but they didn't hear it.

But Zhang Jianguo was standing on the other side not far from them, and at this moment, he frowned slightly and looked at Han Qianfang, and turned his head without glancing at Ma Guihua.

After the food was placed on the table and the stools were all placed, the Zhang family sat down on the edge of the table and began to eat.

There are many Zhang families, and when they eat, they all eat at separate tables, with men eating together and women eating together.

Shen Yuehua looked at the dishes on the table here, which were much less than those on the table over there, and knew that this was the practice of this era and the countryside, so she didn't think anything was wrong.

She picked up the chopsticks, took a dish of shredded potatoes and tasted it, because after waiting for a while, the dish was already cold, but fortunately, in this sour and spicy shredded potato, it tasted good when it was cold.

She tasted the familiar sour taste, couldn't help but squint her eyes, and said in her heart: This is the taste, sour and spicy, very exciting taste, which makes her miss the taste for more than 30 years.

Shen Yuehua couldn't help but clinch another chopstick, but there was not much shredded potatoes on the plate, and there was only a little bit left at the moment.

Shen Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and looked at everyone's bowls without a trace, and found that each bowl was full of shredded potatoes, and no one had touched the other dishes.

Of course, egg custard has long been quarreled over by several children.

Shen Yuehua felt a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it, but picked up other dishes and ate them.

It's a potato slice, and that's all there is to it at home, and it looks like it's cut in a mess, some of it is shredded, and some of it is lumpy.

Shen Yuehua twitched the corner of her mouth when she looked at it, and carefully put it in her mouth to taste, it was too salty.

She hurriedly took two bites of food before she eased up. She said in her heart: She had never eaten much cooked by her sister-in-law in her previous life, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Several children spoke more directly than her, although the Zhang family had the habit of eating and not sleeping, but at the moment they also pouted, picked up their chopsticks, and complained: "The shredded potatoes are delicious, this is unpalatable to death, salty to death." ”

Shen Yuehua looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Ma Guihua's second daughter Erya, named Zhang Tingyu, the one who had been staring at her before.

Shen Yuehua smiled and said in her heart: This is your mother's craft, and you still dislike it.

And Li Guifen knocked on the side of the bowl unhappily, and said: "If you like to eat or not, if you don't eat, next time you cook by yourself, some of them are good, this is still made by your own mother, you don't like to go to your mother." ”

Erya's eyes immediately turned red, jumped off the stool, and ran out on his feet.

Li Guifen rolled her eyes and said, "I don't have to get used to her, I'm a six-year-old child, and I still have to be coaxed to feed her?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat."

Ma Guihua turned around and glanced at the courtyard, and saw that Erya disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she was not in a hurry, so she sat down on the stool and continued to eat.

After this incident, the children became much more honest, and An An finished eating the rice in the bowl in parts.

After a meal, eating was extraordinarily quiet, and when everyone put down the chopsticks, they saw that there were a lot of dishes made by Ma Guifen on the table, and all the dishes she made were eaten.

Ma Guihua touched her stomach and said, "Fourth brother and sister, your cooking skills are good, you will cook at home in the future." ”

When Shen Yuehua heard this, before she could speak, Li Guifen sneered and said: "It's the most unpalatable for you to cook by yourself, so you need to practice hard, you are in your thirties, you have never cooked a few meals when you marry into our family, and you need your man to cook, that is, such a good daughter educated by your Ma family." ”

Li Guifen looked at the leftovers on the table, and was in an even worse mood, and shouted: "In the future, you will do the cooking at home, and if you can't do it well, you and your two girls won't eat!" ”

Ma Guihua pouted and was about to refute, but was dragged by Zhang Jianguo, she looked at Zhang Jianguo's dark face, and didn't dare to say anything, she could only nod honestly, as for what she thought in her heart, it was her own business.

Li Guifen saw that her eldest son could be regarded as a daughter-in-law who took care of her own son, her expression finally looked better, she looked at Shen Yuehua, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that you were the new daughter-in-law, and I didn't see the educated youth cook in the village, they all ate the big pot of rice in the brigade, you are young and came to the countryside very early, you definitely can't cook, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, but compared to our family, this time the four sons can be regarded as happy." ”

Shen Yuehua lowered her head and smiled, and said: "How can it be so good as my mother said, it's just that when I'm at home, I occasionally cook, I haven't cooked for a long time, but it's actually all hands-on, and it's also the kitchen at home that is easy to use, so I didn't burn the food, and I don't dare to guarantee it next time." ”

Li Guifen knew that she was modest, so she was even more attentive to Shen Yuehua, and said: "I have worked hard for you today, you are weak and young, tomorrow you will rest at home for a few days, and work in the fields in a few days." ”

Shen Yuehua was stunned for a moment and said, "Mother, my body is much better, but I can't go to the ground tomorrow." ”

As soon as Ma Guihua heard this, she was immediately unconvinced, and even Han Qianfang frowned dissatisfiedly, this Shen Yuehua didn't go out to work in the fields, and the work that originally belonged to her couldn't be done by no one, and in the end, it wasn't to be shared among them.

Han Qianfang was immediately angry, but she could bear it, and she could still say with a smile at this time: "That's what my mother said, the fourth brother and sister just married into our family, and they have to rest for three days, after all, this is the tradition of the new daughter-in-law." ”

However, their daughters-in-law are not so blessed.

Shen Yuehua's heart sank, but she replied with a smile: "I'm not resting at home, but going to my aunt's." ”

Han Qianfang was a little surprised and asked, "What are you doing there?" Three dynasties to return to the door, and I have to wait two more days to return to my mother's house. ”

Shen Yuehua said in her heart: This person is really playing tricks on her every word.

However, he said honestly: "I want to get the 500 yuan bride price back, I was seriously ill before, and the money was collected by my aunt, and I am almost in good health now, and I should get the money back." ”

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the whole family changed.
