When Yu Mingyue was sitting in front of the stove and pondering, she suddenly felt that the light in the stove room was darker, and when she looked up in the direction of the stove door, she saw Kong Xiaoju crossing the threshold and walking in from outside the stove door.

"Fourth aunt." Yu Mingyue stood up and walked towards Kong Xiaoju, and asked, "Didn't you accompany my mother?" What about my grandfather and fifth aunt? ”

"Hehe, your grandfather left just now, he wants to help your two uncles carry the vegetables, your family has a visitor, your father said that you have to get two more dishes, let me help you."

Kong Xiaoju has always liked her capable niece, and while talking, she hugged Yu Mingyue and kissed her, and then lifted the wooden steaming lid in the pot and looked at the amount of rice, frowned slightly, and began to look at the situation in the stove room.

On the stove, in a large porcelain basin used to wash vegetables, there is a washed and chopped lettuce, apparently ready to wait for the rice to be steamed before going down to the pot to cook the soup. On the dinner table, except for a small porcelain plate of fried cauliflower, there is nothing else, and it is used to entertain guests, not only the portion is less, but also shabby.

On the small stove next to the stove, in a small tin pot that was blackened by the fire, there was a unique aroma of stewed chicken soup, obviously boiling chicken soup, but just looking at the size of the small tin pot, only the chicken soup stewed inside was poured, it should only be given to Kong Xiaoyu, there would not be much.

Seeing that there was no food in the corner of the pile of pig vegetables, Kong Xiaoju became a little anxious, thinking that Yu Zhiqing had asked her for something unclear just now, and asked Yu Mingyue for it, Kong Xiaoju was busy looking at Yu Mingyue again, and for some reason she seemed a little unhappy.

"Xiaoyue, there are three guests in your house just now, you have to add some more meat dishes, and the rice has to be cooked a little more, you quickly find some rice for the fourth aunt, and then find some meat to come out, and I will go outside to get a few green bamboo shoots."

Yu Mingyue is indeed very unhappy now, and when she heard that she had to add food to the two enemies who came to the door, Yu Mingyue muttered and scolded in her heart. I didn't expect Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing to be so blind.

Now the countryside is to eat two meals, breakfast is generally eaten at about twelve o'clock, her family is because they want to go into the city to sell vegetables, so after eight o'clock to add a meal, and the meals are counted, even if each meal is a little surplus, but how can there be more than three people's portions.

At this time, hearing that Kong Xiaoju was about to go out to get vegetables after arranging for herself to find rice and meat, Yu Mingyue hurriedly grabbed Kong Xiaoju and asked, "Fourth aunt, it's not breakfast time, and we haven't prepared any of them, so the three of them really want to eat at my house?" ”

Seeing Yu Mingyue's reluctant and painful expression, Kong Xiaoju laughed out loud. patted Yu Mingyue on the back, and scolded with a smile: "Yo, you little miser, it's a relative who came to your house to deliver Yuemi, what's the matter?" Can't be reluctant to let you take some meat out to entertain guests? ”

Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing's family have not been in contact with Yu Tianzhou's family for many years, Kong Xiaoju knows, what is the specific reason, Kong Xiaoju has more or less heard people in the village talk about it over the years, most people think that Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying were sorry for these two families back then, and a few people said that the originally very close relationship between the three families became like this, not only because of Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying, but because Yu Zhigao's parents and Huang Bing's mother also did too much back then.

Kong Xiaoju agrees with this statement of a few people, although she is not very clear about the affairs of the Yu family, but as a member of the Kong family, Kong Xiaoju has also heard from the elders of the family about the disputes between Kong Mingying and Kong Mingcai. At that time, she admired Kong Mingying's determination to pursue love despite the opposition of her elders. For Kong Mingcai's aunt who had never met a few times, she not only disagreed, but also disliked it a little, feeling that Kong Mingcai was too aggressive back then.

In Kong Xiaoju's view, Kong Mingying and Kong Mingcai, the two sisters, have not been in contact for decades, and Kong Mingying ruined the family's reputation back then, and then made Kong Mingcai's behavior difficult to find her in-laws, although she was partly responsible. But Kong Mingcai didn't care about sisterhood back then, didn't say anything, and still tore Kong Mingying at every turn, embarrassed Kong Mingying, and badly damaged Kong Mingying's family, but the behavior accounted for most of the responsibility.

In her opinion, Yu Zhigao has always been Yu Tianzhou's nephew, and Huang Bing has always been Kong Mingying's nephew, no matter what estrangement or grudge there was earlier, but now these two parties have taken the initiative to come to the door to get close, which is also a good thing.

Yu Mingyue didn't know Kong Xiaoju's thoughts, and at this time, facing Kong Xiaoju, who didn't know, Yu Mingyue couldn't explain anything, so she had to argue strongly: "Where am I stingy, I'm just worried that cooking and cooking will delay my grandfather and my father when they go to the city to sell vegetables." ”

What Yu Mingyue said is also true, when Kong Xiaoju heard it, she raised her left hand and looked at the electronic watch that her little brother Kong Xinggang had just bought for her, and when she saw that the time was already more than eight o'clock, she was anxious: "Yo, the time is so late, the matter of going into the city to sell vegetables can't be delayed, what can I do?"

Seeing Kong Xiaoju in trouble, Yu Mingyue hurriedly said: "Why don't you cook these first, let my father and them eat first and sell vegetables, and then we will cook meat and vegetables later, anyway, our village is not used to eating breakfast at eleven or twelve o'clock." ”

Yu Mingyue also wants to open now, the two enemies have now been welcomed into the door by her father, her family can't hide from entertaining the enemy for two meals today, and she can only try her best to serve one less breakfast and reduce a little trouble. She is not a noble person, and she does not have the kind of affection for the enemy.

Kong Xiaoju has always been a person with few ideas, and she has no opinions, Yu Mingyue saw that Kong Xiaoju was hesitant and did not make a decision, so she smiled knowingly, and only said that she had her own way, and after letting Kong Xiaoju help watch the fire, she went out of the stove room and went to the hall, and she already had an idea in her heart.

Yu Mingyue entered the hall and saw Huang Bing and Yu Zhigao sitting at the table, there were 3 small white porcelain earthen bowls soaked in sour plum water on the table in front of them, Huang Bing's mother-in-law was nowhere to be seen, obviously entering Kong Xiaoyu's house, and Yu Zhiqing was sitting next to the two of them, talking enthusiastically with the two.

This made Yu Mingyue a little surprised, she didn't think that her father would stay at home before she came, this situation was a little different from the plan she originally set.

According to Yu Mingyue's original plan, she went directly to the hall house and told the two enemies that her family could only entertain them for breakfast at about twelve o'clock.

Yu Mingyue had expected that when she said these words in front of the two enemies, even if Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing were no longer faceless, when the dinner was held for a while, no matter how warmly invited her family was, they should not be cheeky to serve on the table.

At this time, Yu Mingyue saw that Yu Zhiqing was still there, and after being stunned for a moment, she instantly changed her mind and walked directly upstairs in the hall.

After going upstairs, I found a large white porcelain clay bowl, specially filled it with some raw pumpkin seeds that had not been fried, and went downstairs.

Back in the hall, Yu Mingyue put the earthen bowl full of pumpkin seeds directly in the center of the table, and didn't care about Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing next to her, but looked at Yu Zhiqing directly and said with a smile: "Dad, let the guests eat melon seeds and grind their teeth first, and you can invite them to breakfast at eleven or twelve o'clock." ”

Yu Zhiqing was talking to Huang Bing, and he hadn't paid attention to Yu Mingyue's movements before, but when he suddenly heard what Yu Mingyue said, his jaw almost fell in shock.

Let the guests who come to the door grind their teeth with melon seeds, how to listen to this is not right, Yu Zhiqing was taken aback and didn't say anything, when Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing heard this, they were a little unhappy in an instant, and they also pondered in their hearts.

Huang Bing saw Yu Mingyue for the first time, and he didn't know anything about Yu Mingyue, he thought about it for a while, thinking that Yu Mingyue was only five or six years old, so he just couldn't speak as a child, so he didn't care anymore, and his face instantly smiled.

But Yu Zhigao, after being slightly stunned, although he smiled as if he didn't care, his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Yu Mingyue at this time. Living in the same village, he still knows a little bit about Yu Mingyue, and he also agrees with the sentence summarized by most people in the village: The girl in Yu Zhiqing's family, don't look at the age of four or five years old, but she is more sensible than those teenage dolls in the village.

But for Yu Mingyue, a little girl, Yu Zhigao still has an opinion that people in the village don't know.

Over the years, when he met Yu Mingyue on the road, although Yu Mingyue had never said a word to him, Yu Zhigao had always faintly felt that Yu Mingyue was hostile to him, because in these years, every time he met Yu Mingyue by chance, the moment the two people staggered by, Yu Zhigao seemed to feel that this little girl was glaring at him with cold eyes, and that kind of gaze that seemed to be disgusted and hateful always made Yu Zhigao shudder.

Yu Zhigao has been a little attentive since then, and when he met Yu Mingyue again, he paid special attention to observing, but he didn't make any big discoveries, but whenever he gave up and was ready to turn back, he could feel a chill down his spine. So in Yu Zhigao's heart, he had already decided that Yu Mingyue was hostile to him. As for the reason, Yu Zhigao attributed it to the contradiction between the two families, thinking that Yu Mingyue often heard adults talk about the grievances between the two families at home, and hated his family in his heart, so every time he met, he would secretly stare at him with that weird gaze.

After hearing Yu Mingyue say just now that he should eat melon seeds and grind his teeth, Yu Zhigao thought for a while, and instantly made a judgment in his heart: This girl did it on purpose.

Yu Zhigao and Huang Bing's different reactions were just a moment's work, Yu Zhiqing came back to his senses after being stunned, and saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he hurriedly explained to the two people present: "Two brothers, don't be careful, hehe, this is a child who is not very good at talking, on weekdays, her grandmother gives her melon seeds, and she likes to tease her to grind her teeth or something, hehe, this girl actually took this seriously." ”

Upon hearing this, Huang Bing and Yu Zhigao laughed loudly as if they didn't care.

After Huang Bing finished laughing, he took the conversation and said with a smile: "It's not, my Xiaole is like this, don't look at it is only more than four years old now, but I love to learn anything, every day I come back from kindergarten, and from time to time a few words come out of the teacher in the garden to teach the children, which makes our family cry and laugh." ”

After Huang Bing began to talk about the interesting story of his daughter's schooling, he said to Yu Zhiqing: "Old cousin, in fact, your family should also send Xiaoyue to kindergarten for two years, now many people attach great importance to preschool education, if children go directly to primary school, most children are not used to the school environment, and it is easy to keep up with the school curriculum." ”

Yu Zhigao had already decided in his heart that Yu Mingyue's words just now were deliberate, but at this time, he pretended to be fine, took Huang Bing's words, and asked Yu Zhiqing: "Cousin, your Xiaoyue is almost six years old, are you going to send her to the township for a year of preschool first, or go directly to the first grade of the village elementary school?" ”

"Alas, we rural people, we can compare with Lao Biao (Huang Bing) and their units, and we will send Xiaoyue to the village on September 1st, and go directly to the first grade." Speaking of this, Yu Zhiqing pulled Yu Mingyue in front of him with some regret, and reached out to touch the top of Yu Mingyue's head.

Originally, Yu Zhiqing was very happy to think that his daughter would be a primary school student this year, but after listening to Huang Bing and Yu Zhigao's words at this time, Yu Zhiqing was a little worried and felt a little sorry for his daughter. If it weren't for his lack of ability to earn money earlier, he would not have delayed his daughter, and he had heard before that some families with good conditions in the village sent their children to the preschool in the village for a year before returning to the village's primary school for the first grade.

Yu Mingyue had been listening to the three men like this, and at this time she faintly found that Yu Zhiqing was in a low mood, and after thinking about it, she probably guessed that Yu Zhiqing was worried about her.

This made Yu Mingyue a little disdainful of Huang Bing showing off that his daughter could afford to go to kindergarten, and scolded in her heart: Going to kindergarten is amazing, Lao Tzu didn't go to any kindergarten, but he also taught at Sichuan Normal University in his previous life, and he graduated as a junior high school teacher.

didn't want Yu Zhiqing to worry, and didn't want Yu Zhiqing to be inferior, Yu Mingyue took Yu Zhiqing's other hand and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, even if I don't go to kindergarten, I won't be unable to keep up with my studies, I will study hard and go to college in the future." ”

In these years, college students are still a rarity, and when such words came out of Yu Mingyue's mouth, Huang Bing and Yu Zhigao next to him were startled, and Yu Zhiqing was also happy all of a sudden.

"Oh~ My Xiaoyue is still going to be a college student, hehe, Dad can remember what you said today, if you don't study hard after school, Dad will beat people." Yu Zhiqing was very happy, and sat on his lap with Yu Mingyue in his arms.

"Zhiqing, you go outside and clean up, you're going to sell vegetables in a while." Kong Mingying walked in from outside the hall while talking at this time, Huang Bing and Yu Zhigao also hurriedly stood up, one called "aunt" and the other called "aunt" greeted her.

Kong Mingying's temperament is a little hard, at this time, in the face of the two nephews who suddenly came to the door, although she has no grudges in her heart, she doesn't have much smile on her face, she only nodded and said: "It's rare for you to come, sit down and don't be polite, Zhiqing He still has to sell vegetables in the city today, wait a while, my old man will finish the matter at hand, and go home to talk to you." ”

Yu Mingyue also slipped out of Yu Zhiqing's arms at this time, and as soon as a few people finished politely, she took Kong Mingying's hand and asked, "Grandma, my grandfather is not going to sell vegetables today?" "If Yu Tianzhou goes, Yu Mingyue wants to follow her into the city, she really doesn't want to greet these enemies at home.

Although the guests who came to the house were all nephews, but they were also male guests, there had to be a man to accompany them at home, and when Kong Mingying came back earlier, Yu Tianzhou said that he would stay at home as an accompaniment.

Seeing Yu Mingyue asking, Kong Mingying nodded, looked at Yu Zhiqing and said: "Your father said, when you finish selling vegetables, go to the district to buy some braised vegetables or something to get back with snacks, as for what to buy, you will look at it then, anyway, you have to buy more, and your father-in-law's family and your father's family are also going to invite out for dinner today." ”

Seeing Yu Zhiqing nodding in response, Kong Mingying turned his head and asked Yu Mingyue with a smile: "How is the rice cooked?" Your grandfather and they're almost ready to pack. ”

Yu Zhiqing didn't ask about it just now, Yu Mingyue didn't have a chance to say, at this time, listening to Kong Mingying's question, Yu Mingyue smiled smugly in her heart, but replied very seriously on her face: "Just now my fourth aunt was helping to watch the fire, and now she should have cooked the dishes, but I didn't know that there would be guests at home earlier, so I just fried a vegetarian dish casually and cooked a white cabbage soup, and the portion was only enough for my father and their vegetable sellers to eat, and the guests could only eat it when they had breakfast at eleven or twelve o'clock." ”

In a word, hearing that Kong Mingying and Yu Zhiqing looked at each other, Yu Zhiqing remembered that Yu Mingyue also said this when he went downstairs with melon seeds.

Seeing the two guests standing awkwardly on the side, and Huang Bing's daughter-in-law who had just come out of Kong Xiaoyu's room and stood by the door with an embarrassed expression, Yu Zhiqing nodded Yu Mingyue's head a little angrily.

"Didn't I just ask your fourth aunt to pass the word and let you hurry up and prepare, you"

Before Yu Zhiqing finished speaking, Kong Mingying slapped Yu Zhiqing's hand that was tapping Yu Mingyue's head away, glared and said, "How can you blame the child, how old is Xiaoyue, how can you ask her to conjure a table of food for you at this time." ”

Without waiting for Yu Zhiqing to say anything, Huang Bing hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be so troublesome, Xiao Zhu and I both ate noodles before we came, and we have to wait until noon to eat any more." The Xiao Song in his mouth refers to her daughter-in-law Zhu Meili, who is also a doctor at the Daping Township Health Center.

After Huang Bing finished speaking, Zhu Meili was also busy talking to help, saying that she had eaten at home before she came, and she was not hungry or unable to eat now.

Although Yu Zhigao was unhappy, he also stood up and persuaded with a smile: "Auntie, cousin, don't worry about this, we are not used to eating breakfast in our village, and my family eats breakfast every day at noon, and now you Zhang Luo come out for me to eat." ”

After Yu Zhigao finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to answer, but looked at Yu Zhiqing eagerly, and asked with a smile: "Today, my eldest father won't follow him into the city to sell vegetables, cousin, are you too busy to come over there?" If I'm busy, I don't have anything to do today, so I can go along and help you or something. ”

Hearing this, Yu Mingyue's hairs stood up, and she secretly scolded in her heart: Damn! This miscellaneous. I'm too anxious, I'm afraid that my ass won't be hot at Lao Tzu's house, so I put his purpose out nakedly, don't think, don't think

In the eyes of everyone, Yu Mingyue is still a child, although she is resolutely opposed, but it is inconvenient to say anything, just scolded secretly, and looked at Yu Zhiqing and Kong Mingying eagerly.

Yu Zhigao's words were too obvious, so obvious that the defenseless Kong Mingying and Yu Zhiqing were stunned, but Kong Mingying has always been a personal essence, and he came back to his senses in an instant, and before Yu Zhiqing could make a statement, Kong Mingying collapsed and looked at Yu Zhigao who was smiling.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the fire in his heart, Kong Mingying said lightly: "Zhigao, you rarely come here, this is a guest, then you can let a guest help me do the hard work at home, you and Huang Bing and Xiao Zhu are resting and talking in the house, and I will let the old man come back to accompany you in a while." ”

After Kong Mingying finished speaking, she didn't wait for anyone to answer, so she urged Yu Zhiqing and said: "Hurry up and call your father back, you can also go and eat two mouthfuls of food, your three brothers are still waiting for you to drive outside." ”

"Hehe, old watch, hurry up and get busy, it's rare for me to come to see my aunt and aunt, I'll talk to the two old people at your house today, and we'll have two more drinks when you come back from selling vegetables."

The scene became like this for a while, Huang Bing obviously didn't expect it, and after quietly glaring at Yu Zhigao, he was busy helping to urge Yu Zhiqing to hurry up and get busy with business, which can be regarded as showing that he did not have the same mind as Yu Zhigao.

Yu Zhigao saw that as soon as he proposed this construction, it made Kong Mingying unhappy, and he didn't dare to say anything more, after his little eyes rolled a few times, he smiled indifferently, and said: "Hehe, I'll just say it by the way, since there are two old cousins of the Kong family and the lobby brother to help, then I will have a good rest at home for a day." The big hall brother in his mouth refers to Yu Zhizong, the two old cousins of the Kong family, referring to Kong Xingming and Kong Xingjiang brothers, Yu Zhigao had already inquired about Yu Zhiqing's family's vegetable sales earlier.

Hearing that Yu Zhigao still had the face to say this, Yu Mingyue also laughed angrily, but seeing that Yu Zhigao's conspiracy failed to succeed, Yu Mingyue was also relieved, and she was also a little proud and proud that Kong Mingying had so keenly recognized the other party's conspiracy. No matter how many means she has, she doesn't have to be embarrassed, but when she meets an old lady like her grandmother who is shrewd and not afraid of offending people, she can only lose.

Although Yu Zhigao's conspiracy failed this time, Yu Mingyue didn't dare to relax too much, and began to make up her mind how to prevent it from happening and kick these best enemies in her previous life away from her home.

With such an episode, Kong Mingying and Yu Zhiqing didn't have much to think about being polite anymore, Kong Mingying smiled and set breakfast on the spot until about twelve o'clock at noon, and urged Yu Zhiqing to leave the house, and she accompanied Huang Bing's daughter-in-law who came out of Kong Xiaoyu's house to talk.

Yu Mingyue didn't want to stay with the enemy for longer, so she followed Yu Zhiqing out of the house, and she also planned to go into the city with Yu Zhiqing.

The father and daughter walked into the courtyard, and after Yu Zhiqing thought about it, he still whispered to Yu Mingyue: "Xiaoyue, these people are all guests, can't you be so stingy, do you know?" The chickens and rabbits at home are raised by our family, and there is no shortage of meat or anything at home, today is the big day of the full moon for your two little brothers, and your grandfather's house and your grandfather's house are also going to be guests in the afternoon, and when you are at home during the day, you have to help your grandmother prepare meals. ”

When he was in the hall just now, he found that Yu Mingyue was only stingy with a bowl of raw pumpkin seeds, Yu Zhiqing faintly guessed that Yu Mingyue was stingy with outsiders, and later heard Yu Mingyue make excuses that he was unwilling to hurry up and make breakfast, Yu Zhiqing decided that Yu Mingyue was really stingy. Later, although he also saw that Yu Zhigao's purpose of coming to be a guest today was not pure, and he was not very happy in his heart, he still didn't want to snub the guests who came to the door, and it also saved people from gossiping in the future, so he had these enlightening words to enlighten Yu Mingyue.

Eh~~ Hearing this, Yu Mingyue almost petrified. Why is her behavior today, in the eyes of her father, because of her stinginess?

Yu Mingyue looked up at Yu Zhiqing's face, and originally wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but after thinking about it for the last time, she gave up, nodded and said, "Dad, grandpa won't go into the city today, let me go and help you." She really didn't want to stay at home, so she didn't have to worry about watching the enemies come and go. R1152
