Chapter 11: Politics at the Dinner Table

Politics at the dinner table

"Xiuxiu, how is your fifth sister-in-law studying?" At the dinner table, He asked while stirring the gruel in the bowl with chopsticks. Yang Liu was speechless, he sat here and didn't ask, did he have to go past himself and learn about himself from other people's mouths?

Is it that she has too weak a sense of saving in this family, do you want to fry the chili peppers? Yang Liu reflects.

In fact, after He got up, he went to the stove room and walked around, and saw that the side pot was stuffy with vegetables, the middle pot boiled gruel, and the pig food mixed with coarse chaff in the pot was also cooked and stuffy, and he was satisfied. Although she understood that most of it must have been done by Xiuxiu's gang, this new daughter-in-law's attitude was very upright. At that time, Yang Liu went to the latrine, and he didn't know about this stubble at all, but Xiuxiu in the stove room was clear. also understands that He's questioning is just to kill Yang Liu's arrogance, after all, Yang Liu's identity is the highest among several daughters-in-law.

Xiuxiu sighed quietly, she has been a sister-in-law for so many years, she really can't understand the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law now, can't mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really get along like a mother and daughter? She couldn't help but think of someone, her heart was sweet, fortunately he was a kid in his family, and the population was simple. Thinking like this, Xiuxiu had a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Mother, the fifth sister-in-law learns quickly and is humble, but now she is still a little unskilled, and she will be able to get started with the kitchen in a few days." ”

"That's right, the fifth brother and sister just came to our house, and they have never done these rough jobs, just learn the housework slowly, and don't rush it." Wen smiled gently.

Yang Liu still has a good impression of Wen's, and smiled at her gratefully when he heard this.

"You're just good-hearted." He also smiled and quipped: "Could it be that your mother and I are a wicked mother-in-law in your eyes?" ”

Among the five daughters-in-law, the one who gets along with her best is Xiao He, who doesn't say anything about her aunt and nephew, but also stands on her side everywhere and speaks for herself. Second, it is naturally Wen's, He's gave birth to five sons and one daughter, and Wen's is the most like her among several daughters-in-law, and she has already given birth to three babies. The ancients believed that many sons were blessed, and Wen was also a blessed person. The other daughters-in-law are naturally mediocre.

"Where, my mother is not only a good mother-in-law, but also a good aunt to me." Xiao He hurriedly said with a smile.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said, it seems that we have become outsiders." Yu glanced at Xiao He, stood in the middle of the bowl with chopsticks in his hand, and said in a strange manner.

"Brother and sister, sister-in-law doesn't mean that, don't think about it." Xiao He hurriedly explained.

Xiao He's is still a little stunned, Li Wei is gone, and he has no heirs, so the titular big house naturally does not exist. As the second room, Li Wu is the actual big house, and now the youngest uncle in the family has also become a relative, and this family will be divided and united in the future, Li Wu's opinion is very important. She is a widowed sister-in-law, she has no money in her hands, and she has no reliable heirs, and now she looks at the support of the He family, but after a hundred years of the He family, she will still rely on Li Wu and the Yu family to gain a firm foothold.

Yu snorted, I didn't mean that, what did I do when I said something about the relationship between my aunt and nephew, when we are all stupid. However, she also knew that she would definitely be defeated if she said this, so she didn't dwell on it any longer. As soon as his eyes turned, he fell on the dog egg who was taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the adult's speech and the iron pillar was playing with the iron pillar, and Yu immediately became angry: "Li Wenhan, spit out the meat in your mouth to the old lady." As he spoke, his hand was about to pick the meat from the dog's mouth.

In Yu's cognition, the son is naturally of the same mind as the old lady. Thinking of the scene I saw this morning, and thinking that this meal was made by willows, my son gobbled it up like he slapped himself in the face, and the majesty of the willows.

As the eldest son and eldest grandson of the old Li family, he won the highest honor at that time - the old man used a few catties of white flour to change his name to the most learned old master in Tunzi. It's a pity that since taking this name, the dog has been sick from time to time, and people who know that it is the master's name that is crooked, and then it somehow spreads more and more outrageous, saying that this was first said by the old man Li, and also said that he was blind for a few catties of good white face, which provoked the old master to blow his beard and stare at him, and almost cut off contact with the old Li family. At home, He's and his son and daughter-in-law also faintly blamed the old man for being troublesome, spending a lot of money but hurting his grandson. It's strange to say, this kid really doesn't get sick anymore, so he keeps barking like this, and gradually forgets the name Li Wenhan. If Li Wu hadn't sent his son to study in the town, and the master asked for his name, no one would have remembered the name of Li Wenhan.

Li Wu, who was eating at a table next to him, slapped his chopsticks on the table with a "snap" when he heard the sound, and scolded angrily: "My mother is still in front of you, who are you rushing to my mother?" I don't stop eating early in the morning, believe it or not, I'll beat you up today. After that, he rolled up his sleeves and stood up, looking like he was going to hit someone. I just let people see a big joke yesterday, and I don't have a long memory today, what is this mother-in-law's brain thinking.

Yu shrunk his shoulders, his hands retracted, and buried his head. Li Qiang and Li Cong hurriedly grabbed him, and Li Qiang said: "Second brother, if you have anything to say, our old Li family is not interested in beating a daughter-in-law." ”

"Yes, second brother." Li Cong also persuaded: "Eliminate your anger, don't you still want to go to the town after dinner this morning?" Don't delay your serious errands. ”

There was going to be a fight next to him, and He Shi seemed to have just discovered it now, and calmly played the round: "Okay, let him eat the dog if he likes to eat it, and it's not like there is nothing at home, and it will be bad if you put it again." Second, you have to change your temper, can you just slap the table and yell when you encounter a difficult guest? The second daughter-in-law, you have been a mother for a day, children like to eat more when they see what they like, and it is not a big deal. ”

is not light, not heavy, impartial, and educated both Li Wu and Yu. Yang Liu couldn't help but look at He twice, and had a new understanding of this old lady in the countryside.

He Shi spoke, Li Wu naturally sat back again, Yu Shi glanced at Li Wu, and then looked at He Shi, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't I see that the dog ate too much?" ”

It was a whisper, but it was heard by everyone at this table.

He looked at the dog egg, it was round, this was He's first reaction when he saw the dog egg, this kid was all round up and down, He frowned a little worriedly, did he really eat too much. This kid also found himself in trouble, and bowed his head and obediently chopped rice. Thinking that the dog egg is usually alive and kicking, and he didn't shout that it was uncomfortable, He's brows loosened again: "Half the size of the child eats Lao Tzu, the dog egg is the time to grow the body, and it is normal to eat a lot, and he is not a three-year-old child, if he is uncomfortable, he won't say it?" Don't grind your kung fu, what should you do after eating, and the grass in the field should be pulled. He looked at Yang Liu again and ordered: "You are on duty today, and you don't need to do the work in the field, just clean up the house, and bring lunch to the ground." At noon, I still make porridge and bake two cakes. ”

Yang Liu nodded, but forgot that he didn't know where the Li family's land was.

"Mother, why don't I stay, I don't think my brother and sister can cook like this, and I don't know if I can eat this ready." Yu glanced at Yang Liu, looked at He and said. This Yu family is really thick-skinned, and he was about to fight just now, and he turned his head and provoked trouble to avoid laziness.

How could He not know that Yu family's careful thoughts? She didn't poke it either: "Then let Xiuxiu stay, she is fourteen years old, and the eldest girl's family will not show up again." ”

"Yes, my sister-in-law is going to get married, so it's better to stay at home." Wen also smiled and agreed: "My sister-in-law was also able to hide and be idle when she was a girl in the past two years, and it is not such a good fortune to get married." ”

"I, as a mother-in-law, didn't force you to turn your back on the mountain and open the way, look at your breath, as if you have been wronged." He Shi feigned anger.

"Mother, you know that's not what the lady meant." The honest Li Qiang thought that He was angry, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Third brother, my mother is a favorite third sister-in-law, you still can't hear it?" Xiuxiu smiled and coquettishly said to He's family: "My mother is better to my third sister-in-law than to my biological daughter, I look at it and my eyes are red." ”

"Sister-in-law can't say that, no matter how good my mother is to me, can she surpass you? You're my mother's daughter. ”

"Yes, my mother loves my little sister the most." Li Qiang smiled innocently.

Xiuxiu covered her lips in surprise: "Why is the third brother like eating honey today, so good at talking?" ”

He Shi also quipped: "Yes, the third child is usually like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and the three sticks can't make a sound, why are you enlightened today, and you still hold your sister so much?" ”

Li Qiang scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, so he had to look at He Shi for help: "Mother"

"Haha, third brother, you really look like a big girl." It was Li Cong's voice

The family talked and laughed, and ended the breakfast lively.
