Chapter 63: Grandma is difficult
What does she see? The rations were all taken away by her, and during this time, almost all of them were replaced by vegetables. There shouldn't be anything to be plundered by him. She turned her head with Lin Zhang's gaze, but sadly found that the big steamed bun with white flowers she had brought back just now was placed on the plate on the board.
Before she could react.
Cai Er hurriedly walked into the kitchen and took one and handed it to Lin Zhang's and said, "Mother, Zhu'er went to deliver food to the Juxian Restaurant in the town, and the shopkeeper gave it." Mother, you eat. ”
Lin Zhang took the steamed bun, and he didn't care about what to say, so he opened his mouth to eat.
There are only two taels of silver a month, and a family of ten people is old enough to eat. There is no production at home, except for a little wheat taken from the second child, almost all of it is coarse grain, and the wheat has to be eaten by the baby grandson.
There is a limit to the amount of white noodles that can be seen in a month.
When people get old, their mouths are also very greedy. The temptation of white-flour steamed buns is too great, she eats it fiercely, and after a few bites, the dried steamed bun dregs choked in her throat, she couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, and she rolled her eyes uncomfortably. A hand covered with tendons clawed around his throat.
Lin Zhu silently handed over a bowl of boiled water, watched her take a few sips, flushed the contents of her esophagus into her stomach, and secretly covered the pot.
Lin Zhang wiped the tears that choked out, didn't dare to gobble them up anymore, and slowly ate steamed buns and drank white water. I didn't look at the dishes in the pot either.
She is not very greedy for vegetables, in addition to supplying Yanfu, there are many vegetables left in the vegetable garden, and this son can call the shots. She secretly took some home to eat, and she has eaten a lot in vain over the years.
After Lin Zhang's finished eating a steamed bun, he went into the kitchen and picked up the other one and put it in his arms, and watched through the window that Cai Er Niangzi walked out of the ground with eggs in her clothes, and said to Cai Er at the kitchen door: "Mother should go back, this steamed bun is left for Niang to eat at night." ”
After that, he walked out.
But a fragrant smell came out of the pot, definitely not the usual taste, but the smell of meat.
She sniffed, paused and asked, "Zhu'er, what's stewed in the pot?" ”
Lin Zhu lowered his head and said, "It's radish and cabbage vermicelli, stewed indiscriminately." ”
Lin Zhang's dissatisfied glanced at her and scolded: "Lose money, don't blink when you lie, there is no meat in the pot, grandma, I will go with you, open it and take a look." Okay, second child, dare to eat alone. If the old lady doesn't come today, the steamed buns and meat will not be eaten by the old lady. ”
Cai Er is a little confused, and he doesn't care much about things in the kitchen.
That day, when the second lady was boiling lard, he happened to be called out by the iron butler.
He blinked and said at a loss, "Where did the meat come from?" No, I don't."
After saying that, he himself smelled a fragrance.
Is there really one? That's a problem.
He stepped through the kitchen door again and lifted the lid.
The first thing you see is a layer of oil on top of the dish.
Lin Zhang's finger pointed to the pot with one hand, patted his thigh and cried again: "Second child, take a look for yourself, see!" With such a thick layer of oil, I dare to say that there is no meat. Second child, don't say that we didn't divide the family, but we divided the family, and you should also send it to your mother if you have delicious food, which is called filial piety. You're good, you three eat steamed buns and big meat, in your mother's belly
Every day is filled with yellow noodles, sorghum noodles, millet noodles, in short, what grain is cheap to eat. Now your mother's stomach is sour. Second child, you are not filial...... It's all taught by your hen that doesn't lay eggs...... ”
Lin Zhang's crying and making trouble made Cai Ercai and Cai Niangzi completely collapse, and the two didn't dare to say more. At this time, it is pale to say anything. I don't dare not explain, and if I don't explain, I will acquiesce.
Lin Zhu knew that it was best to talk less at this time, although he had always been very dissatisfied with her, he was not afraid of her. But as a child, you can't be too rude to an old man who is disrespectful at such an age. Besides, she is still her father's mother. Dad is very filial to her, and he is obedient.
I'd have to wait until she's almost finished crying before making plans. She wanted to see how long she could cry. How long.
Lin Zhang patted his thigh and howled a few words. It lasted until the sun went down. Lin Zhu gradually became annoyed, frowning slightly, how can this old woman be so energetic at such an age, isn't she afraid of exhausting herself.
Cai Er and his wife looked flustered, and began to whisper around Lin Zhang's family, not to accompany them. It seems that he really did something unfilial.
Lin Zhu began to hold grievances for his father, and admired Lin Zhang's a little, saying that women have three tricks, one crying, two troubles and three hangings. This Lin Zhang only had two tricks, and they made their family of three at a loss, and they tried it repeatedly. If you add a third trick, it's worth it.
I really couldn't stand it, and I couldn't wait for Lin Zhang's to stop, she suddenly came up with a way, looked out of the door, and said loudly: "Grandma, don't cry, the people in the house are coming to deliver swill, it's Aunt Du today, she is a famous microphone, it's not good for her to hear it." ”
What Lin Zhang is most afraid of is that her son's errand is not guaranteed, if someone from the house comes, she will definitely restrain a lot.
This trick really worked, Lin Zhang's stopped crying in time, wiped his dry eyes and said: "I just want to cry, crying let everyone know that I have raised an unfilial son, and my son is not filial and my daughter-in-law is not filial." ”
The words were very domineering, but the tone of his speech gradually lowered.
Cai Er and his wife thought that Granny Du, who was a kitchen chorre with a long tongue, would really come, and they were also a little scared.
stepped forward together to help Lin Zhang's walk into the house, Cai Er only dared to speak at this time, he said, "Mother, what are you doing." Isn't my son doing a good job? The monthly rations were given to my mother every month, and our family of three ate vegetables every day. If you still make trouble, the housekeeper will know about it and quit your son. As soon as we were a family, we really drank the northwest wind. Please, son, don't make a fuss. ”
Lin Zhu followed with a plate of stewed vegetables at this time, and said in the back: "Grandma, you are really, we don't dare to interject when we cry, my father told you, the steamed bun was given by the shopkeeper Qi, and it was Zhu'er who saw that he had half a bowl of oil residue,
He who was about to pour it into a bucket of swill, so he asked him. He heard that there was no meat in our house for a month or two, so he gave me a spoonful of lard, which I wanted to put in the dish to taste better. ”
What she said was reasonable, and Lin Zhang also saw that there was oil residue.
But she has always been strong, but she feels that she is wrong to blame her son, and she has to stir up three points unreasonably.
She sat on the stool next to the table, took out a bowl of oily stewed vegetables from the plate that Lin Zhu hadn't put down yet, took the chopsticks and said, "You didn't mean to say this. My wife doesn't care. Remember later. Readers know that filial piety comes first. Although our family is not a good family, the second child is also a person who has studied in a private school for a few days. ”
She ate as she spoke, and after eating a big bowl of dishes, she felt that she still wanted to eat, so she handed the bowl to Lin Zhu: "Go, give grandma another bowl." ”
Finally sent Lin Zhang's away, Cai Er was exhausted, and he didn't have much appetite to eat, so he lowered his head and swallowed the few remaining vegetables silently, and went to the field to clean up farm tools.
Cai Er Niangzi sighed softly and said, "Zhu'er, your father is also difficult." ”
