Chapter 237: Suspicion
When I returned home at noon, the mutton had been divided into pieces by Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin.
"Just so you guys are here. Give these pieces to your eldest aunt, second aunt, second grandmother, fourth grandmother, and fifth grandmother. Hao Lanxin pointed to a bundle of mutton weighing two catties tied with hemp rope on the grate, and said to Tian Youqiu and Tian Qingqing.
said to Wen Xiaoxu again: "When you go back, you can take this bag back and give it to your mother." ”
"Where's my grandmother? Is it separated? Tian Qingqing asked. She hadn't been to her grandmother's house for a few days, and she really had some strange thoughts.
"It's out. No, your grandmother, your aunt, and your grandmother's are all here. ”
Hao Lanxin pointed to a place that weighed five catties of mutton and said.
"Qingqing, when are you going to send it to your grandma? I'll go with you. I'll also see my grandma go. Wen Xiaoxu asked.
When to go? I can't go this afternoon, and I have to steam dry food for my second aunt's house. I don't know what my mother has to do tomorrow. When the New Year is over, you don't have to be normal, you can do whatever you want.
"Mom, when am I going to grandma's house?" Tian Qingqing asked.
"I don't think you have time to go." Hao Lanxin said: "This morning, your second grandmother's Aunt Dafang and your fourth grandmother's Aunt Daxing both came, and they heard that the dry food you steamed for your eldest aunt's house was delicious, and they were willing to let you steam two pots for them." In the future, I don't know which one can't be provoked to speak again. It is not good to steam it for one family, but not for others. I'm going to send your grandma and your aunt over this afternoon. ”
When Wen Xiaoxu heard this, his brows immediately twisted into a pimple: it was easy to have the opportunity to go to his grandmother's house together, but he was delayed by other people's affairs.
Tian Qingqing didn't think so, and said: "Steam, steam, anyway, I'm already familiar with it." He said to Wen Xiaoxu again: "Brother Xiaoxu, I was busy in the New Year, and there won't be much to do after the New Year, let's go a few more times and make up for it." Also, do you have steamed dry food at home? If you don't have one, I'll go over and steam two pots for you. They all said that my steamed dry food was delicious. ”
Wen Xiaoxu was happy when he heard that he went to steam dry food for his family. Carrying the mutton, he jumped and walked away.
The mutton in the old courtyard was sent by Tian Dalin. At the same time, to see if the old lady's illness is better.
Tian Qingqing saw his father passing, and also led Tian Miaomiao to follow. She wanted to find out if there was anyone from Xuejiazhuang and Hetian Lu's attitude towards this matter. She is convinced: Whether there is any news or not, it must be seen from Tian Lu's expression.
Although Tian Lushi had not yet gotten up from the kang, he put on his shirt and sat in the quilt nest. The spirit is also much better than yesterday.
"Mom, are you better? After slaughtering sheep all morning, he didn't care about it. Tian Dalin handed the mutton to his father Tian Jinhe, and said to the old lady when he entered the house.
Tian Lushi: "Well, I feel a little bit energetic. Seeing Tian Qingqing and Tian Miaomiao following, he asked Tian Damu to bring candy to them to eat.
Tian Damu took out the candy basket from the big closet and put it in front of Tian Qingqing. said that he had something to do, said hello to Tian Dalin, and went out.
This surprised Tian Qingqing very much. In the countryside, children are given three or two pieces of candy, and they are not allowed to have an empty mouth. Tian Lu's and Tian Damu both instigated, and generally did not give it, even if they gave it, they were together. What's going on today!
Tian Qingqing peeled a piece and gave it to Tian Miaomiao. I also peeled a piece of myself and put it in my mouth. When grandma speaks, if you don't eat it, it will seem to be out of sight.
Tian Qingqing folded the candy paper to tease Tian Miaomiao, pretending to be careless, and listened to the conversation between the mother and son.
Tian Lu told Tian Dalin that Xue Yunlai came to carry Ernier Xue Aimei on a bicycle in the morning. I brought her a bowl of soybeans. Xue Yun came to tell her that the gods had sent three bags of grain to his house last night: a bag of wheat, a bag of corn, and a bag of miscellaneous grains. There are seven or eight kinds of grains, and she said that she knew that she had noodles here, so she didn't send wheat, but took a bowl of soybeans to cook and eat.
"San'er, where will there be any immortals? Did you not say a word and put him under the gate? After Tian Lushi finished speaking, he asked again.
Tian Dalin was stunned when he heard this: He has prepared wheat at home, could it be that the eldest brother and second brother also have the same idea as themselves, and secretly put them down?
Tian Qingqing was also stunned: Tian Lu's thought of going here was something she didn't expect. Afraid that Tian Dalin would admit that he had sent wheat, he hid behind Tian Lu's family, shook his head at him, and handed him a color.
Seeing this, Tian Dalin thought for a while and said, "Mom, don't ask about this carefully. As long as the second sister has food and the problem is solved, it will be fine. The price is not asked. Since they didn't tell you, there is a reason not to say it, and the less you know about it, the better. ”
A trace of embarrassment floated across Tian Lu's face. Think about it: the fact that the second daughter did it is not good for her mother's family. Brother and sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters help Gu, and they all feel ashamed. If you don't help, you can't bear it for the sake of siblings. What's more, it's hard to refuse. This is the only way to do so.
Thinking of this, I felt that my son and daughter-in-law were still listening to what my mother was saying, and a trace of joy floated on my face. Said happily:
"Hmm. Yes, too. I don't care about it from now on. Brothers, sisters, and brothers, do as you like. Xiao Laizi said that he had changed and would never play mahjong again. If this is the case, his family's life can go on. With these three pockets of grain, you can eat for a while. ”
"Grandma, where's Sister Mei?" Tian Qingqing asked.
Xue Aimei is one year older than Tian Qingqing, and Tian Qingqing speaks to Tian Lu's family, and she wants to call her "sister".
"Gone. Followed her father. Your second brother-in-law said that it is not good to borrow a car (bicycle) in the New Year, and I am afraid that I will not have time to pick her up. After sitting for a while, the grandfather and son went back. Tian Lushi looked at Tian Qingqing with a smile and said.
I went to my grandmother's house and didn't eat, this was the first time in history. If you want to put it aside, Xue Aimei will not live until the twenty-ninth of the New Year! It seems that there is a difference between what you have to eat and what you don't eat at home.
Although even Tian Lu's family didn't believe that there would be immortals to send food, the news that Xue Yunlai received three bags of "divine food" still spread in this big family. Of course, none of the brothers and sisters believed that it was sent by the gods, but they all suspected the other two except themselves.
"You said that the sister-in-law's attitude shows that she doesn't send it, and the second sister-in-law is not a person who bleeds. Speaking of which, I hated it so much that my teeth hurt. We just gave one bag of wheat, how did it become three pockets? ”
After hearing that her husband came back to learn her tongue, Hao Lanxin didn't understand it a hundred times, and guessed in wonder: "Could it be that those two families are the same as us, and they left him under the door without saying a word?" ”
Tian Dalin shook his head: "As far as the second sister-in-law's virtue is impossible." ”
Hao Lanxin: "How did it become a three-pocket bag?" ”
Tian Dalin: "I'm also quite confused. Corn, every family has it at this time, and you can take it out. But there aren't many grains. Our family doesn't have a pocket. They don't give much, they don't give much. Who would give her a sack of grains? The old lady learned from her second brother-in-law that there were seven or eight things, and they filled a full pocket. ”
Hao Lanxin: "It's strange, it's impossible for any of her two families to give her all the miscellaneous grains at home?" Could it be that the two of them discussed it and put it together, so they hid it from us? ”
Tian Dalin: "I don't think it's possible for sister-in-law, the relationship between the two of them is not strong, I don't think it's as good as you two." ”
Hao Lanxin: "So what's going on?" The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. ”
Tian Dalin: "Don't think about it if you don't understand, as long as the problem over there is solved and the old lady is happy, it's okay." ”
However, it is impossible for Hao Lanxin to think about it or not.
After dinner, He Yuwen came over with a plate of fried croquettes: "Today is the New Year, and everyone is fried and fried. I've fried some potato and red carotene meatballs, and I'll bring you some to try. Your family is busy slaughtering sheep today, and I think we may not have time to fry them. ”
Hao Lanxin: "Not yet. I'm going to do it tomorrow morning. Sister-in-law, how much can you blow up in your house, give us so much. ”
He Yuwen: "There are a lot of fried things, and the things of the new year are called to taste." As he spoke, he handed the plate to Tian Qingqing: "Qingqing, eat it quickly, it's still hot." ”
Tian Qingqing pinched one and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and sure enough, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and there was a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, knowing that it was the effect of carrots.
"Auntie, your croquettes are so good. These meatballs are so delicious. Tian Qingqing said flatteringly.
He Yuwen: "Then you can eat more, the eldest aunt's family has it." After speaking, he faced Hao Lanxin: "You too, how much meat can a sheep slaughter, and send it to my family!" ”
Hao Lanxin: "As for a sheep, everyone will help eat it, or it will be broken." ”
"Lan Xin, I fried some shrimp chips. I'll give it to you to taste. Yo, my sister-in-law is also there. ”
Before He Yuwen sat down, Wang Hongmei also came with half a basin of fried shrimp slices, and greeted him when she entered the door:
"I told Qingqing to eat there and didn't have to, so I had to come back to eat. Let me bring you some dry food, you have it, and nothing else is rare. This is her second uncle bought from the capital, I quickly fried some, thinking that you may not have this, so I hurriedly sent some. ”
"She won't eat if she doesn't eat, and she won't be hungry anyway. Why are you just blowing this up for her? Hao Lanxin said, got up and brought her own belongings, poured the meatballs and shrimp slices into them, and put some haggis that had been cooked in the afternoon on the plates and basins. Under the New Year, you can't let people go back empty.
The concubines sat together and naturally talked about Xuejiazhuang's "divine food", but they were all cautious.
Wang Hongmei: "I heard about it. Xuejiazhuang received three pockets of 'divine food', wheat, corn, and miscellaneous grains. ”
He Yuwen: "I heard. However, even the old lady did not believe that it was the 'divine food'. Said it was given by someone. ”
