Chapter 280: I forgot to turn off the fire
"Ahh What the? ”
Xie Jiang was so shocked that he shouted: "You forgot to turn off the fire." ”
Immediately, Xie Jiang immediately turned around the car and rushed home immediately, but it was too late to put his ex-wife out of the car.
At this time, it was a race against time, and I was really worried that the house would be set on fire.
This is a big New Year, but it is different from the past, if it catches fire, it is not only burning property, but also worrying about endangering the personal safety of neighbors.
Fortunately, this is the Chinese New Year, there are few vehicles on the street, Xie Jiang drove the car, quickly rushed to the house, it took about ten minutes, and finally arrived downstairs at home, parked the car, immediately got out of the car, and ran upstairs like crazy.
At this time, Wu Xiuling called, Qian Xiaoman immediately picked it up, and heard her mother urging: "Where have you been, why haven't you come yet." ”
Qian Xiaoman hurriedly said: "I forgot to turn off the fire, and now I rush back to turn off the fire." ”
Wu Xiuling immediately screamed in shock: "Ah! You kid, why are you so reckless? I didn't turn off the fire, and I went out. ”
Qian Xiaoman shouted angrily: "You urged it." ”
"I forgot."
The two mothers and daughters were arguing, Xie Jiang ran to the door of the house, and immediately the key opened the door. immediately rushed into the kitchen, and when I looked at it, my hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground.
I found that on the liquefied gas stove, a pot of meat, chicken, and pork ribs was boiling, and hot mist kept coming out.
This is the custom of Xie Jiang's hometown, during the Chinese New Year, meat, chicken, pork ribs and other meat dishes will be put in a large pot to cook soup together. After the water is boiled, simmer for about ten minutes, put in the cut white radish and carrot segments, cook for many minutes, take out the meat, chicken and other meat dishes, and then make New Year's dinner.
At this time, it happened to be boiling for half an hour, and Xie Jiang immediately turned off the fire. Leave the pot open. Check again before going out right away.
Qian Xiaoman had already taken the child into the house.
"It's not on fire."
Xie Jiang smiled: "It's okay, it's a false alarm." ”
"Turn off the heat and let's go."
Qian Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Dad, it's okay." ”
Xie Jiang said, "Then we won't go." ”
"Cook New Year's dinner and eat it."
"I'll check it out in the afternoon."
Qian Xiaoman snorted: "I want my father and mother to come over for the New Year." ”
Xie Jiang didn't object, but said, "Are they willing to come?" ”
Qian Xiaoman hurriedly said: "I'll call." ”
Xie Jiang went into the kitchen to cook the New Year's dinner.
I also thought in my heart that today's commotion almost caught fire in my home. It's like reminding him that it's better to be cautious when dealing with things in the future. Don't be too impulsive, and you can't be too self-righteous.
Qian Xiaoman called and asked her parents to come over for the New Year, Qian Dalin asked her why she didn't go back for the New Year, and when she heard that Xie Jiang came back to celebrate the New Year together, she refused, not wanting to see Xie Jiang again.
Qian Xiaoman had no choice but to stop insisting, knowing that his father's temper was very strong. It's good to spend the New Year with Xie Jiang and her daughter.
I didn't know how sad the adults were, but when I heard the warm sound of firecrackers everywhere, I felt the strong smell of the New Year, and I shouted excitedly: "Dad, Mom, after we finished the New Year's dinner, we went to buy fireworks and put them off." ”
"I'm going to buy a lot of fireworks."
Xie Jiang happily agreed, skillfully cooking the New Year's dinner.
Qian Xiaoman helped to cook the New Year's dinner together.
"Your brother didn't come back for the New Year."
"It's been a few years, and I haven't come back for the New Year."
Xie Jiang talked about his wife's uncle's expression, not as cautious as before, but with some helplessness and hatred.
I feel that my wife-in-law and uncle are also talents, in their thirties, and their families have not started a family, and they are floating everywhere. I don't come home for the Chinese New Year, and I don't know what to do outside.
"I don't want to talk about him."
"Whatever he wants."
Qian Xiaoman was even more angry, and he didn't want to think about his uncompetitive brother.
Xie Jiang was even more annoyed when he saw his ex-wife, so he stopped talking about this topic. lest it make both of them unhappy and ruin the atmosphere of the New Year.
In the past, I spent the New Year with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. After divorcing Qian Xiaoman last year, he encountered an accident in an iron mine, so he didn't celebrate the New Year with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, the children and ex-wife were with the two old people for the New Year.
This year, now that it's like this, there is no New Year together, and now the children are not willing to go to celebrate the New Year with their grandparents, so let the two old people celebrate the New Year alone.
After the New Year's dinner was ready, as soon as Xie Jiang put it on the table, Xiaohui shouted: "Dad, set off firecrackers." ”
"After setting off the firecrackers, we will have New Year's dinner."
Xie Jiang then remembered that he had forgotten to buy firecrackers. I immediately went downstairs to buy firecrackers at the supermarket in the community.
According to custom, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is to set off firecrackers to celebrate reunion. Now there is a reform in the city to prohibit firecrackers, but during the Spring Festival, there is still no ban, that is, respect customs.
Xie Jiang hurriedly rushed to the small supermarket to choose firecrackers, ready to pay, and suddenly saw Aunt Xiao's son, on crutches, and looked down, his left leg was broken.
He couldn't help but say to the shopkeeper, "What's wrong with Aunt Xiao's son?" ”
The shopkeeper snorted softly, "You don't know yet." ”
Xie Jiang shook his head, he really didn't know.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Retribution." ”
Xie Jiang was shocked: "What retribution?" ”
The shopkeeper muttered and said, "Isn't his mother talking nonsense about Lao Wang's scratching your car?" ”
"I was pushed by Lao Wang and injured myself, do you want to help him raise medical expenses?"
In turn, he felt that you should be, and later, when he found Lao Liu, he also felt that he gave someone out and smashed someone's house to pieces. Unreasonable, got retribution, got a car accident, and broke his leg. ”
"That matter, I want to ask Lao Liu to give money, it can be regarded as caused by others, and people will give a part, and he wants others to give it all."
"People don't give it all, and they can't make their lives even worse."
"Heaven is intolerable."
When Xie Jiang heard this, he understood, and later Aunt Xiao's son became entangled with the old Liu family and made the family unable to settle down. My heart trembled, and I realized that the neighbors all had a scale in their hearts.
Now, Aunt Xiao's son immediately suffered a car accident and became disabled.
Now on crutches, he looks very down, and the people passing by are all taking a detour, and he takes the initiative to greet others, and no one pays attention to him. It's like avoiding the plague, so stay away.
Xie Jiang also experienced this person's scoundrel, bought firecrackers, and when he returned home, he also bypassed the road, not wanting to run into him.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xiao's son saw him and shouted happily: "Hey, Mr. Xie, Xie Jiang." ”
"Thank you, boss."
Xie Jiang listened, pretended not to hear, and ignored it at all.
Knowing such a person, he does not deserve sympathy at all. If I take care of him, I don't know what will happen.
