The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and grinned to hide his embarrassment. His face was full of criss-crossing wrinkles, and it was really not good to laugh when he thought about it, but the old man's smile was bright and sincere.

Changed the subject and said: "I'll pour water for my son, and I'll wait for my mother to make something to eat for you later." ”

In the courtyard, a woman approached with water. Slender *** didn't have much strength, and the buckets at both ends of the flat shoulder were filled with less than half of the water.

The woman carried water into the water tank in the courtyard, wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked into the house. After looking at it, he was also slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, there are guests at home?"

"This is my son, not a guest, but a family member. You can go, you are not welcome at this house. The old woman spoke coldly to the woman and didn't give a good face.

The woman was not angry, pursed her lips and muttered: "I am your daughter-in-law, but I have become an outsider, and I picked up a few people outside and came back, and I became a relative." The older you get, the more confused you become, hey!"

"Where did the people come from? Obviously, my son came back by himself. Where did my son's daughter-in-law come from before he got married? You vixen must have something to do, so you came to pretend to be my daughter-in-law. Hmph, I advise you to leave quickly, I am blind and not blind, and I can distinguish between good and bad people. "The old woman treats her daughter-in-law harshly and ruthlessly.

The words were extremely ugly, and the woman who was a little light-skinned would have run out crying.

Seeing that the woman wanted to open her mouth to refute, Xing Zhen hurriedly explained: "Hello mother-in-law, I am indeed not your son. I was accompanied by a brother and a puppy. ”

The old woman, who was already trembling, trembled more and more. Pointing at the woman and scolding: "You vixen, what kind of means did you use to my son? As soon as I came back, I didn't recognize my own mother, and I did such a hurtful thing, and I was careful of being thundered by retribution." “

The more the old woman talked, the more atmosphere became, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she raised her hand and hit the woman who had just walked into the room.

It is normal for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be discordant in the market, and there are various reasons. In the final analysis, most of the daughters-in-law do not take their mother-in-law as their mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law does not treat their daughter-in-law as their daughter. If there is no sincerity between each other, there will be no so-called harmony.

The two in front of them seem to be the mother-in-law who did not treat her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. As for whether the daughter-in-law does not want to see her mother-in-law, it is impossible to see at present.

Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling are not married, where do they understand the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But knowing that there is no right or wrong in housework, it must be reasonable to ask carefully, and there is no clue about it.

couldn't watch the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arguing, Xing Zhen stepped forward to stop the old woman. Worried that he would fall down with too much excitement, he held the old man's arm and persuaded him: "Mother-in-law dissipates her anger, and it is easy to hurt her body if she is angry." I'll help you go out first to breathe a little bit and say something slowly. ”

The old woman pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are my son, if you want to call your mother, you can't call your mother-in-law." A child who has been reading and writing since he was a child, how can he be confused when he sees a fox spirit. ”

The "son" did not forget to ridicule his daughter-in-law by the way, and was obviously quite angry with his daughter-in-law. is diametrically opposed to Xingzhen, complaining, but still walking out of the room together.

Pu Gongling stood in front of the woman, hugged his fists and said, "I passed through the village below, and I wanted to find a place to stay." I didn't expect to be pulled into the house by the elderly, please forgive me if you disturb me. ”

The woman seemed to be very sensible, and she didn't get angry with Xing Zhen and the others. waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, my mother-in-law is old and easy to be confused, if there is anything abrupt, I hope the son will not be surprised." “

"The little girl will compensate her son-in-law for her mother-in-law first. With that, the woman bent slightly and saluted briefly.

Seeing that the master was so generous, Pu Gongling hurriedly hugged his fists and solemnly returned the salute: "It's just that we are bothering, and my mother-in-law is determined that the punishment is really her son." Now I leave rashly, for fear that my mother-in-law will not be able to think about it for a while. If my mother-in-law doesn't let me go, Xingzhen and I may stay here for another night. What if it causes inconvenience to the girl?"

Pu Gongling doesn't understand the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but he knows a lot about the rights and wrongs in front of the widow. Although the woman in front of her is not a widow, her husband has not returned home for more than a thousand days and nights, which is about the same as being a widow for three years.

Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling suddenly lived in this house, and outsiders knew the inevitable gossip.

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "It's better to be like this, my mother-in-law insists on keeping the true words. We waited until my mother-in-law fell asleep. Just stand outside the door and wait, when to appease your mother-in-law before leaving. ”

The woman found a chair and sat down, muttering to herself: "It's really not good to let the living live in my house for no reason, let's not talk about other people's gossip." But you are not locals, and the ones who go out are really called torturers, and they have a sword on their backs. I have to think about my safety and my mother-in-law's safety, and I can't let my mother-in-law be irritated. “

After muttering, the woman fell into deep thought.

Dan Gongling didn't bother cheekily, and pulled the reluctant puppy out of the room.

Xing Zhen didn't know what to say to his mother-in-law, and the two talked happily. Seeing Pu Gongling and the puppy cubs walking out, they introduced their mother-in-law one by one.

Only then did the old woman know that she was indeed not a criminal person. hurriedly beckoned: "Wait a minute, I'll go make some food." It's all home, and it's not like I'm hungry. ”

The old man is blind, but he can walk to the kitchen with his own knowledge.

Pu Gongling quickly explained to Xingzhen, and the two fell silent at the same time. Living in a home with a woman is indeed not good for the family. If I take my mother-in-law out to live for the time being, I'm afraid the owner of the house will not agree.

While she was struggling, the woman walked out and walked into the courtyard. said: "You don't have to worry about it, after eating and doing housework, I'll go out and find a place to sleep." Anyway, my mother doesn't like me, and she doesn't care if she's there or not. It's better to leave the two of you here to make my mother happy. “

The woman is quite generous, not angry, but thinking about the old woman everywhere. Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling couldn't help it, and hurriedly objected: "No, how can you let the girl go out and find a place to live." The two of us tried to persuade my mother-in-law as soon as possible, and we will leave today no matter what. ”

Only the puppy made a protesting "woo-hoo" cry, and a pair of round eyes kept staring at the woman's chest.

The woman smiled: "If it's not in the way, just call me Lan Shanshan, don't be a long girl or a short girl." ”

Immediately, Lan Shanshan's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and whispered: "My family only has two rooms, east and west, my mother lives in the east wing, and I live in the west wing." When my mother is old, she often gets up late to sleep, and it is not convenient for two sons to live with her. ”

Lan Shanshan's pretty face became redder and redder, and her voice became quieter and quieter: "You guys, you can live in the West Wing." ”

"I went to help my mother-in-law cook. Pu Gongling threw down a sentence and fled.

Xing Zhenmu came up energetically, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. A few breaths of time seemed like a few years had passed for Xing Zhen.

Finally found a reason: "I'm going to help my mother-in-law cook too!"

He turned around and ran two steps, and after suddenly stopping, he turned around and grabbed the puppy with his eyes straight into his eyes. Running fast, his dark face was red and purple.

Lan Shanshan looked at the back of the sword-bearer boy and the Changran man running away, and retreated and smiled.

The old woman in the kitchen who can't see clearly, washing vegetables and cooking is quite quick. Finding your own things is faster than looking at Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling in the Six Roads. Apparently familiar with the way and often doing these things.

Xing Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Does my mother-in-law usually cook by herself?"

The old woman was dissatisfied: "Call your mother, don't call your mother-in-law." ”

The black face of the torture was getting darker and darker, so he simply kept his mouth shut, and tried not to move his mouth when he could do it.

Pu Gongling didn't have the slightest sympathy, but made a grimace and smiled. Curiosity led to this, and then he asked, "It seems that my mother-in-law often cooks?"

The old woman said confidently: "Of course, who will do it if I don't do it?" Do you think that the vixen outside cooks, she came three days earlier than you. It's not my daughter-in-law, who stays at my house and doesn't leave. I didn't beat or scold, and my skin was as thick as the city wall. ”

"It's strange to say, it's obviously a foreigner. More than 20 families in the village said in unison that she was my daughter-in-law. They all bullied me for being old, thinking I was confused and came to lie to me. Actually, I have a mirror in my heart. ”

My wife is quite talkative, and when she opens the chatterbox, she goes on endlessly: "It's not for no reason to call her a vixen, when she first came to my house." I was also confused for a while, thinking that she was my daughter-in-law, and I even forgot about going to the door to see my son from afar. ”

It can be seen that the old woman does cook often and is very experienced. When chopping vegetables, bend the four fingers of the green vegetables, kick back the fingertips, and the protruding joints hold against the blade. The kitchen knife quickly lifted and fell, and the knotted top never cut the knife fingers.

The shredded vegetables are cut finely and evenly, which is better than that of normal people. After the oil is warmed in the pan, pour the diced bacon and green pepper shreds into the stir-fry successively. Not long after, a plate of fragrant green pepper bacon came out of the pot.

The old woman sniffed it, swallowed her saliva secretly, and said: "When I was confused three days ago, I always felt empty in my heart, as if something was missing. When I walked out of the hospital in a daze and helped the hospital door. I suddenly remembered that I wasn't standing at the door waiting for my son to come home. “

"When I think of my son, I don't get confused. Everything is clearly understood, the vixen is definitely not my daughter-in-law. When my son left home, he had not yet married, so it is impossible for my daughter-in-law to come back before my son returns. ”

The old woman patted Xing Zhen, who was washing dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "You said yes, this time my son is back, and I must drive the fox spirit away." Can't let her stay in our house to confuse my son. ”

"By the way, didn't you say that you will come back after a month of traveling?

Xingzhen was vague: "No, no, no." ”

Pu Gongling said roundly: "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard, I will make the rest of the dishes, you can rest next to you." ”

"No, I like my food the most. I'm going to do it myself, and no one is allowed to rob me. The old woman righteously refused, leaving no room for maneuver at all.

Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling had no choice but to help. People are in good spirits when they are happy, and the old woman is like this, and the meals she makes are particularly fragrant and charming.

The turmoil at the dinner table broke out again, and the old woman refused to let Lan Shanshan serve on the table. Seeing that the food was getting colder, Lan Shanshan was quite reasonable. Take out a little bit of each and run to the kitchen to eat it.

Pu Gongling made a color and followed out secretly. The puppy followed closely behind, and the meal was more important than the woman.

The old woman was ignorant and unconscious, and she vigorously put vegetables into the real bowl of punishment. The white bowl of rice is filled with rice, and there is no rice in sight, and it is full of various dishes.

The old woman couldn't tell whether it was meat or vegetables, so she tasted it a little bit each time. Then he muttered: "This is fried bacon with green peppers, I love to eat it, eat more." ”

Then indiscriminately, he put his mind into the real bowl of punishment.

"This is a chicken stew with mushrooms. "It's another big business of delivering food.

"This is braised pork stewed with dried beans, I love to eat it. Don't stop chopsticks, eat hard at home. “

The old woman is full of vigor to pick up vegetables, and she can't eat rice when she is tortured. No matter how big the mouth goes, Cai in the bowl has always been like a small mountain bag.

What's even more bitter is Lan Shanshan in the kitchen, complaining and crying: "The delicious food in the storage room is never let me touch it." There were two outsiders here, and the old fool couldn't wait to take them all out. ”

Pu Gongling said apologetically with a dark face: "I'm really sorry, please trouble Miss Lan to convert this meal, we will pay for it, and count us as a treat." ”
