Chapter 16 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meeting
When I got home, the masons over there had already begun to demolish the old house, and Er Niu helped the two old men out of the ox cart, calling Huang to come out to pick up his father and mother, and Huang came out and said, "Dad, mother." Daddy Lin smiled on his face and responded.
Zhao's voice just responded lightly, and Lin He, Sanya and Xiaobao also called "Grandma." The Zhao family crossed the Huang family, came over and looked at Lin He, Sanya and Xiaobao beside the Huang family, touched Lin He's head and said, "Erya is getting bigger and more beautiful, and you don't often come to see grandma?" ”
Then he took Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao is also so old, grandma hasn't seen it for a long time, but I miss my grandmother." ”
Lin He could see that this grandmother was still kind to them, but her attitude towards her mother was not so good. It seems that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good.
Zhao saw that the old house over there had begun to be demolished, and immediately began to direct people to work, "Old man, you go and help Erniu move things, what is the second daughter-in-law doing there, it's time for lunch, start to make lunch, I'll help you take care of it here, you do your thing." Huang responded.
In fact, the Huang family over there has arranged for the Zhou family and Aunt Xu to start cooking over there early, and they should be able to eat after a while, Lin He also followed the Huang family to cook over there, and the lunch at noon was arranged very richly, with two big white noodles per person, and the rest of the people who were not full ate ate nest heads and were full.
The dish is also fried fatty slices of cabbage, as well as spicy fried bacon, and some fresh wild vegetables are also picked to make vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, each table, each dish is full of a large pot, which is quite good in this era.
In this era, it is rare to see meat and the like, there are two meat dishes in this meal, as well as white flour steamed buns, Zhou and Aunt Xu also said that this food is too good, so it will be a long time to eat.
Lin He doesn't think so, compare your heart to your heart, if you treat people with your heart, people will treat you with your heart, especially in this ancient period, Lin He felt that building a house was a hard job, and it was the most basic thing to let the family eat every day, and even if you save it, you can't save this money.
The people here don't eat dinner at night, so Lin He doesn't plan to cook, so he prepares a few pastries and some melon seed snacks for refreshments.
When it was time to eat at noon, these workers were also surprised to see that the meal given by the host was so rich, and no family had ever provided such a good meal for the workers, and the big deal was that a few pieces of fat slices could be seen in the dish, which was already a great meal.
The owner of this house actually gave two meat dishes, as well as two vegetarian dishes, both of which were full of a large pot, and the staple food was white flour steamed buns, which was not such a good food for where to work.
Zhao saw that the food at noon was so rich, so he frowned at that time, called Huang aside and said, "You are a loser's daughter-in-law, these workers have all received money, so there is no need to make the food so rich, your family is burned with money, pity my son, how can you marry such a loser." ”
Although Huang didn't like it in his heart, he thought that it was his mother-in-law after all, so he didn't talk back, so he just said, "Mother, this worker works hard, Erniu said that let the workers eat better, they work faster, and if the house is completed early, the money will be saved." ”
In fact, Lin He said this, but Huang knew that if it was Lin He who said it, he was afraid that his mother-in-law would also blame her, how could he still believe the words of such a child, so he deliberately said that it was Erniu.
When Zhao heard this, his face looked a little better, and he thought about it, "What Erniu said is indeed the truth, but you don't need to make it so good tomorrow." ”
Huang nodded and didn't say anything, so he went to greet someone for dinner.
Most of the masons are men, so the men eat around two tables, and the women can't eat at the same table as the men, so they all gather around the kitchen and eat, and the dishes in the kitchen are the same as the outside, but women and children can't serve on the table.
After a meal, the food was in full swing, the dishes on the two tables outside were almost eaten, the white flour steamed buns were also eaten, and there were some nests left, Huang planned to stay until the evening when his family was hungry to eat, and as soon as the workers finished eating, they went to work.
Erniu let them rest and go again, everyone refused, they all knew in their hearts that the master's family gave such a good meal, if they didn't hurry up to work, they were indeed sorry for the master's family, and the rural people were sincere.
Originally, it would take two days to demolish the old house, and it was done in one day with everyone's efforts, and when he went back in the evening, Lin He also asked Huang to bring a plate of pastries and some melon seed snacks, and there were not many pastries, and everyone could get about three pieces.
Lin He observed that some people ate it by themselves, and some people secretly stuffed it into their own pockets, wanting to take it back to their children to eat, and those who took it and put it in their pockets would not take it from the plate again.
In the evening, his family also ate something with some of the remaining wowotou and some remaining vegetables at noon, and people at this time did not eat at night, but Lin He said that he was tired for a day and would be hungry at night, so he asked Huang to make some food.
At night, their family lives in the uncle's house, and the uncle's house is not much, the Huang family lives in one room with a few small ones, Erniu lives with Dabao, and the remaining one house is for the two elders to live.
Before going to bed, Zhao called Erniu to her and muttered in the house for a while, and she didn't know what she was talking about, so it must not be a good thing.
Lin He felt a little strange, his mother Huang is a good woman, hard-working, filial piety to the old man and love these children is not a broken mouth, should also get along well with the relationship between the concubine, this child has given birth to several, the grandmother seems to obviously not like Huang's appearance, but Lin He is not good to ask this question directly, so as not to make Huang unhappy.
Huang said to Lin He here, "Erya, today is the first day, and our food is more particular, I think tomorrow's food will not be so good, let's make it according to other people's food in the past." ”
Lin He disagreed, so he continued, "Mother, don't care what grandma says, you see that our family's food is doing well today, and those workers are also satisfied.
However, the spicy fried bacon can also be replaced with other dishes, and also make a meat dish, such as radish stew, these can be eaten, the workers eat well, do things quickly, finish it early, and we can move to a new house as soon as possible."
Huang thought about it and felt that Lin He's words were also reasonable, so he also responded, and planned to get up tomorrow or tell Lin Erniu that the food was still done according to today, and the workers did things fast today Everyone can see that if they are completed early, the loss of these food expenses will be made up, and the workers will be more attentive when they make the house, and they want to make the house stronger in the future.
