"It's time to eat." Xiaoxue came over with a pot of sauerkraut, Zhang Wu looked at the pot of sauerkraut and swallowed his saliva, but Xiaoxue deliberately put the sauerkraut in the farthest place from Zhang Wu.

Xiao Yingzi was feeding Zhao Guodong next to her, and when she saw this scene, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'll come by myself, you go to the table and eat with your uncle and aunt." Zhao Guodong said.

"You're injured like this, how can you eat?" Xiaoxue stubbornly had to feed Zhao Guodong before she was willing to eat by herself.

"Look at Xiaoying, my uncle was injured, and he fed him water and food, when will your father and I be able to enjoy this treatment." Zhang Wu said with emotion there.

"Otherwise, if you go out and fall now, and fall like Uncle Guodong, I will definitely feed you back." Xiaoxue looked at Zhang Wu very seriously and said, she swallowed Zhang Wu at once, and she didn't know how to go down to pick it up, so she had to fight Ha Luha.

"That, Brother Zhao, the sauerkraut is coming, I really can't help it, I'll eat it first." Zhang Wu said.

"You eat, you eat, I can't accompany you now, you just have to eat by yourself." Zhao Guodong said.

"Then you're welcome." Zhang Wu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and then picked up the chopsticks and put them in the sauerkraut pot.

"Wait a while, don't you see that the host hasn't been on the table yet, and I don't even understand the rules of being a guest." Xiaoxue's mother glanced at Zhang Wu and said.

"You eat, I can't get on the table, treat this place as my own home, eat it quickly, the sauerkraut is to be eaten while it is hot, and it will change its flavor when it is cold."

"That's it, you see Brother Zhao said that the sauerkraut is not delicious when it is cold, and he also said that I should treat this place as my home." Zhang Wu saw the sauerkraut and took care of those.

Zhao Guodong really couldn't eat it anymore, so Xiao Yingzi took the rice bowl, and filled a bowl of rice for herself with the bowl that she had just fed Zhao Guodong, and then served rice to Zhang Wu and Xiaoxue's mother, Xiaoxue, she had two bowls of rice herself.

"Xiaoying, eat quickly, let your uncle and Xiaoxue eat later." Xiaoxue's mother said.

"Well, I'll eat it."

"Don't say that, as if you had eaten very little." Zhang Wu said vaguely as he slammed the food into his mouth.

"Alright, eat yours."

After one meal, Zhang Wu ate four dinners, Xiaoxue ate three bowls, Xiaoxue's mother also ate three bowls, the three of them wiped their mouths, touched their stomachs, and sighed that they had eaten too much, especially Zhang Wu, whose stomach could no longer fit, but his eyes were still looking straight in the sauerkraut pot.

"Look, I'll just say that Uncle Zhao's sauerkraut is delicious." Xiaoxue touched her stomach and said, "If I can't eat, I still want to eat some." ”

"The sauerkraut in Brother Zhao's house is really delicious, I have eaten four dinners, and I still want to eat sauerkraut when I see it." Zhang Wu said.

"It's nothing, this is made by Xiaoying, if Uncle Zhao does it, you will definitely be able to eat five or six bowls of rice." Xiaoxue said.

"Don't, I've eaten four bowls of rice like this, if your Uncle Zhao is cooking by himself, I have to kill myself." Zhang Wu touched his stomach and said with a bitter face.

"Look at the two of you, just like the first time I came to Xiaoyingzi, Uncle Zhao's cooking was so delicious, I ate five bowls of rice that day." Xiaoxue stretched out a slap and gestured in front of Zhang Wu and her mother, "If I hadn't been a little immune, I would have only eaten three bowls." ”

"That's it, Brother Zhao's sauerkraut is authentic, and the taste is different from other people's." Xiaoxue's mother said, "Just like the sauerkraut I made, Lao Zhang always said that it was not delicious, and at the end of the day, I would rather eat white rice than eat the sauerkraut I made." Brother Zhao still has any secret recipes. ”

"Where is there anything authentic or not authentic, where do I know any secret recipes, they are all made according to the methods of the older generation, and in our village, they all taste like this." Zhao Guodong said.

"So, how do you make it smell?"

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you teach your younger brother and sister well, the sauerkraut she made is really hard to swallow." Zhang Wu said.

"Don't eat my food when it's unpalatable." Xiaoxue's mother glared at Zhang Wu, and looked at Zhang Wu with straight hair.

Zhang Wu lowered his head and muttered, "I don't eat the food you cook, where will I eat." ”

"It's actually very simple for us to make sauerkraut, first put the fresh Chinese cabbage in a hot water pot and boil it, and then take it to the sun to control the water ......." Zhao Guodong told Xiaoxue's mother how to make sauerkraut, and Xiaoxue's mother also listened very seriously.

"Xiaoying, where are you going?" Xiao Xue had just helped Xiao Yingzi take down all the things on the table, and was wiping the table, when she saw Xiao Yingzi holding a bowl of rice and a glass of water and walking into the back room.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll come as soon as I go." Xiao Yingzi said and walked into the back room. Xiao Yingzi took the bowl of rice, originally thought that Grandma Mei would wake up as soon as she entered the door, looked at Xiao Yingzi, who had grown up, touched Xiao Yingzi's head with a smile and said, Xiao Yingzi, grandma will give you candy. But Xiaoying was disappointed when she entered.

Grandma Mei was still lying there, her eyes tightly closed, and her breathing was very light, as if she were asleep. Xiao Ying put down the things in her hand and held Aunt Mei's hand, Aunt Mei looked serene, her cheeks were red, and her lips were dry and chapped because she hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"Grandma, I miss you." Xiao Yingzi looked at Aunt Mei and muttered. "It's been so long, you haven't woken up, do you know that Dao Yingzi has no parents anymore? Is Zhilu Dao Yingzi in junior high school now? How tall is Yingzi now? ”

"Grandma, just wake up and see Yingzi, okay? Yingzi misses you so much. Xiao Yingzi's tears dripped down one by one, and her head was buried in Aunt Mei's arms, and for a while, Xiao Yingzi's tears wet the quilt covered by Aunt Mei.

"Xiaoying, are you alright?" Xiaoxue shouted outside.

"It'll be right away." Xiao Yingzi quickly sat up, wiped her eyes, tried her best to make no one from her uncle and aunt, and then picked up the cup and wiped it slightly on Aunt Mei's lips, soaking it.

"What's wrong?" After Xiao Yingzi went out, she asked Xiao Xue, "What do you call me?" ”

"My dad has started to say in the direction of sauerkraut now, but I and my mother have diverged it, I didn't say it, it's you now, my dad will definitely say that he wants to take sauerkraut, you must not tell this about it." Xiaoxue pulled Xiaoyingzi into a corner and whispered.

"What if your dad gets angry?"

"You're not afraid that I'll be angry, this matter is settled, what did you do just now?"

"I went to feed my grandmother water and saw if she was awake. What's wrong? ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'll brush all the pots and bowls for you, so you don't have to do it. It's not too early, I have to get my dad to go early, or something will happen. Xiaoxue didn't know whether Lu Dao was talking to Xiaoying or talking to herself, muttering for a long time.

"Lao Zhang, it's not too early, shouldn't we go home?" Xiaoxue said to Zhang Wu.

"Why are you in a hurry, didn't you see that I was chatting happily with your Uncle Zhao." Zhang Wu glanced at Xiaoxue, then turned back to Zhao Guodong and said, "I heard that Auntie lives with you, why didn't you see her come out?" ”

As soon as Zhang Wu's words came out, Xiaoxue's mother knew that something bad was wrong, and quickly pinched Zhang Wu with her hand, and Zhang Wu reacted, but at this time, the words had already been spoken, and the scene was unusually quiet.

Xiao Yingzi didn't speak, Zhao Guodong also lowered his head, Zhang Wu and Xiaoxue's mother glanced at each other, Xiaoxue's mother gave Zhang Wu a fierce look, and even Xiaoxue kicked behind Zhang Wu.

"Oh, she's unconscious, and she's living in the back room." It took Zhao Guodong a long time to say such a sentence, and everyone could hear the indifference in Zhao Guodong's voice.

"So, shall we take a look?" Xiaoxue's mother didn't dare to let Zhang Wu speak, if she was saying something that shouldn't be said made Zhao Guodong turn her face and make Xiaoying unhappy, then they wouldn't be able to get on this door, and even the relationship between Xiaoxue and Xiaoying might be affected, so she spoke first.

"Then you go, but try to be as quiet as possible, I'm tired, rest for a while." Zhao Guodong closed his eyes and lay down as he spoke. Everyone can see Zhao Guodong's expression, this is driving them away.

"I think, let's go." Xiaoxue's mother pulled Zhang Wu as she spoke, but Zhang Wu didn't seem to have anything to say, but Xiaoxue behind pushed Zhang Wu and walked out of the door.

"Xiao Yingzi, send them off." Zhao Guodong lay on the bed and said this, the Zhang family's family of three heard it, and there was no longer even a word to keep it, so let's go quickly, Xiao Yingzi sent Zhang Wu and the three of them to the gate, watching Zhang Wu and them get into the car, Xiao Ying said: "Uncle and aunt, Xiaoxue, I won't send you off, go slowly." ”

"We'll see you tomorrow." Xiaoxue said.

"See you tomorrow." Xiao Ying walked back after speaking.

"Xiaoying, wait." Zhang Wu got out of the car again and stopped Xiao Yingzi.

"Uncle, is there anything else?" Xiao Yingzi asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I can't speak in your house today, and I offended your uncle, I don't know if I have violated your family's taboo, I'm here to say sorry to you." As he spoke, Zhang Wu took out a wad of money from his pocket and wanted to hand it to Xiao Yingzi.

Xiao Yingzi looked at Qian, looked at Zhang Wu, and then looked at Xiaoxue's mother and Xiaoxue, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else, this, it's just a little apology from me, I hope you can eat something good and replenish your body." Zhang Wu hurriedly explained.

Xiao Yingzi didn't look at Zhang Wu and the money in his hand, "Xiaoxue, you mean the same thing?" ”

"My dad, nothing else, really." Xiaoxue hurriedly snatched the money from Zhang Wu's hand and put it in her pocket, Xiaoxue's mother also saw that Xiaoyingzi was unhappy at this time, and hurriedly pushed Zhang Wu into the car.

"Xiao Yingzi, I'm sorry, your uncle is sometimes confused, don't take it to heart. Auntie left first, next time I'll come to see you. With that, Xiaoxue's mother got in the car and hurriedly let Zhang Wu drive.
