Chapter 118: Leftovers
Seeing Xinxin enter the house, her mother-in-law also pulled out and wanted to go back to the room. While helping the child take off her mask, Mu Nan casually said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, you can cook first." I looked at the child. The mother-in-law glanced at her son helplessly, she had just said well outside, why did she fall to the side of her daughter-in-law as soon as she came back? Mu Nan didn't notice her mother-in-law's eyes at all, he thought very simply, Xinxin was going to toss for a while when she changed her clothes and dried her hair, but she was hungry, and when she got out of the kitchen, she didn't know how long it would take for the food to be served. My mother is used to doing work, cooking is nothing, and I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for a long time, no matter how delicious my mother-in-law is, no matter how many takeaways there are, it can't compare to my mother's craftsmanship from snacking.
Xinxin saw the way her mother-in-law looked at her just now, but she guessed a little bit of the old lady's thoughts. Originally, she planned to cook after taking a shower. Who knows that it takes a bit long to wash, and they come back just after washing. In fact, if it weren't for the old lady's expression, she would have thought about drying her hair and going over to cook, but let her mother-in-law stare at her like this, she felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't mean not to cook dinner. Besides, there is Mu Nan, why do you just want to let other people's children work and let your children rest? When Shin Shin's mother was there, she supported Shin Shin to work. Sometimes Xinxin asked Mu Nan to do it, but her mother would stop her. And the mother is not patriarchal in doing this, because when Xinran and Ni Yunping were together, the mother always supported her son to work. She felt that since other people's children lived with her, she let her children be idle every day and supported other people's children to work, wouldn't that be bullying people, nor would it be conducive to family harmony. Shin Shin agrees with her mother's point of view, so although she sometimes complains, she still does what her mother asks. Now that her mother-in-law is back, she did the opposite on the first day, which makes Xinxin very dissatisfied. Don't you want me to do it? I'm still quitting. Thinking so, she simply sat down at the dresser, laid out all the skin care products one by one, and made a full facial. This time, it will be a long time. When she cleaned up, Meimei came out of the room, and the food was already on the table.
Mother-in-law cooks quite fast. As long as the porridge water is put in proportion, don't worry about it, and you will boil it yourself. Noodles such as steamed buns are leftover at noon, and they can be steamed and steamed. My mother-in-law's main job is to stir-fry. There is a big bowl of leftovers at noon, and my mother-in-law just put it in the pot and heated it up, and mixed a small cold dish with her hand, using fine vermicelli brought back from her hometown, adding some boiled peanuts, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and then putting some shredded ginger, all live!
According to the usual practice, Mu Nan still held the child, and Xinxin ate first. The mother-in-law couldn't see it, snatched the child, and asked Mu Nan to eat it together. As soon as Mu Nan sat down, he complained about the dishes on the table: "Mom, why did you mix all the leftovers together and fry them again." "This time, the leftovers were fish-flavored shredded pork, baby cabbage in soup, braised crucian carp and shredded sweet potato. You don't have to taste the flavor of the mixture, but you know that it will be "peculiar". When my mother-in-law cleaned up at noon, she didn't think much about it, so she mixed them together according to the habits in her hometown, and it was hot at night. At this time, I remembered that Mu Nan didn't like the leftovers the most, so he kept his head and didn't say anything, but he was even more aggrieved in his heart: the more he really did, the more wrong he was.
The father-in-law was a little angry with his mother-in-law on the side, so he reprimanded Mu Nan and said, "Why are you so particular." Isn't it like this to eat vegetables in my hometown? It's only been a few days since you've been out, and you've become so squeamish. ”
Xinxin originally had a good impression of her father-in-law, and felt that this was a reasonable old man, but this time she couldn't help pouting after listening to her father-in-law's words.
Mu Nan replied to her father-in-law: "What does it taste for yourself?" How do you eat it? There are also broken fish in it, all of which are fish bones, and you can't pick them up. ”
My father-in-law said, "I eat well." ”
When the mother-in-law saw that someone was supporting her, she also became emboldened, and said, "If you don't eat it, give me the leftovers, I love to eat!" As he spoke, he walked to the dining table with the child in his arms, looked at it carefully, and said, "How can there be so many fish bones like you said?" Why didn't I watch? ”
Mu Nan sighed and said, "Your old eyes are dizzy, of course you can't see it." This crucian carp has many small spines in it. It's really a fish bone, aren't you uncomfortable? Didn't I just say that a dish shouldn't be mixed and fried, so you can't stop being so tough? I'm not doing it for everyone, too. ”
Shin Shin also said, "Yes." Although it is a little troublesome, it is better to heat the leftovers separately in the future. ”
When her mother-in-law heard Mu Nan's words, she was going to admit that she was wrong, but Xinxin's sentence "a little troublesome" made her suddenly angry, isn't this just that she wants to save trouble and is afraid of trouble, so she made the dish like this? Cooking for you for a long time has become a thorn in your pick? The mother-in-law put the child in Mu Nan's hand with a hanging face, reached out and took the dish and walked to the kitchen, poured all the dishes into the trash can at once, and then smashed the pot and shoveled and fried another shredded potato, squatted on the table, took the child back from Mu Nan's hand without saying a word, and walked back to the room.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Mu Nan was a little embarrassed and said, "Why is Mom so angry now." Didn't I just say it? ”
The father-in-law glanced at him and ate silently without making a sound. In front of his daughter-in-law, he was reluctant to reprimand his son, but his wife was wronged, and he also knew it, so he could only hang his face and let the young couple reflect on themselves.
Xinxin glanced at the old man, and then looked at the food on the table, which was not worse than the dinner prepared by her mother when she was there. Shin Shin's parents prepare at least four dishes for dinner every day, usually two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Cold salad is rarely eaten in winter, for fear that Xinxin will spoil her stomach. Because she is still breastfeeding, she doesn't dare to take any medicine. So in terms of diet, Shin Shin's mother is very careful. But the dish prepared by the old woman today is a leftover dish and a cold dish. That's it, it depends on the face of the old man and the old lady. I just said that the leftovers were heated separately, and the old lady was angry and poured all the dishes. Although she refried shredded potatoes, she knew that she was angry when she listened to her ping-pong toss in the kitchen. Xinxin was not happy in her heart. Who recruited you to provoke you, is it possible that I want to coax you every day like a child? She casually took a few bites of food, and then she felt that her stomach was clogged and she couldn't eat it anymore.
Shin Shin stood up and just wanted to leave the table. Mu Nan glanced at her and said, "Why do you eat so little?" I have to breastfeed my baby when I go back. ”
Xinxin didn't want to eat it because she didn't want to eat it, and her parents-in-law who didn't want to provoke knew it, but Mu Nan's words made it seem like she was going to show the old man's face. Xinxin glared at Mu Nan fiercely. Because her father-in-law was sitting on the side, she couldn't say anything, so she replied, "I want to drink milk." Then he turned around and went to the kitchen to get a packet of milk and went back to his room.
