Chapter 14: Eating on the Stove
The weather was getting colder and colder, and after Wei Xiaoge complained several times in front of Mrs. Tian and Wei Laogen that she had taken the food home, it was too cold to eat, and finally proposed to the old courtyard that she wanted to start a fire in the west courtyard alone.
"What, it's good to have you to eat in one bite, do you still want to start a fire in the West Courtyard?" When Mrs. Tian heard this, she immediately raised her voice and scolded angrily: "Who can cook between you and your lazy girl?" I want to see how you will spend the rest of your life after you have eaten all the food at once. ”
"Mother, it's really a long way from here to the West Courtyard," Qiao Shi next to him heard this, and said kindly: "Either let the West Courtyard open the fire and try cooking." ”
didn't expect Qiao's to stand on the side of the West Courtyard, Mrs. Tian's face suddenly fell, and she just thought about turning around and scolding Qiao's. But when she saw Qiao's eyes sweeping on Chai He, Mrs. Tian immediately understood.
They didn't help prepare Chai He in the West Courtyard, and the Yuan family hadn't been confined yet, so what could they toss with just Wei Xiaogoose and a little girl!
And Wei Xiaogoose sneered secretly, this time he was afraid that Qiao's miscalculation. Now that she has decided to face the old courtyard, she will never ask for it back.
I also wanted to see the jokes of the West Courtyard, so Mrs. Tian stomped her foot and said, "Okay, then it will be according to your mother and daughter's wishes." But don't wait a few days to come here when you're hungry and beg for help. ”
"Grandma," Wei Xiaogoose whispered, "It's true that after walking back all the way, the porridge and steamed buns are cold." If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have asked for this.
Although Mrs. Tian had the intention of embarrassing Wei Xiaoge's mother and daughter, she was reluctant to open the noodle jar with open grain and think that these things should be taken out for Wei Xiaogoose to take to the West Courtyard.
She consciously added an extra scoop of water, and there was porridge for Yuan's mother and daughter, and two more dry foods, which was a meal for their mother and daughter. But to take out a few scoops of grain at once, it's really like digging into her heart.
Reaching out to lift up the porcelain jar that Wei Xiaogoose had already packed, and pouring the contents directly back into the pot, Mrs. Tian said with a little anger: "Since the West Courtyard is going to start a fire, then you can go back and make the dinner for the Yuan family tonight." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Wei Xiaogo, this dead girl, if she talked about the fire in the West Courtyard before eating, she wouldn't be allowed to eat this meal here.
Seeing that Mrs. Tian's face was full of pain, Qiao Shi opened his mouth and said, "Mother, either you go to rest, and I will help Little Goose get something." She couldn't wait to let Wei Xiaogoose and them hit a wall now, and she was worried that Mrs. Tian would regret it in case, so she simply said such a thing.
Old Mrs. Tian blinked, thinking of the contradiction between Qiao's and Wei Xiao'e's, and knew in her heart that Qiao's eldest daughter-in-law was not a good stubble. He waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go to the thatched house." ”
She won't let go completely, even if Qiao's is in control, she has to watch from the sidelines, and she must not let Wei Xiaoge take more things.
When Qiao Shi said that Wei Xiaoge said that the West Courtyard was going to start a fire by itself, he decided in his heart that their mother and daughter would only cry in the future, and it would definitely not be any better. Besides, she had other things on her mind. When the time comes, you may be able to satisfy yourself.
At this time, he looked at Wei Xiaogoose and said, "Little goose, your mother is not in good health, and you really can't eat cold food, so you will work hard in the future." ”
At this time, although he didn't know what Qiao's idea was, Wei Xiaoge thought that he could handle it, so he urged: "There is Aunt Lao." ”
The people here wished she had gone earlier, and she didn't bother to ink with them. If she has time, she might as well go and guard the Yuan family and her younger brother, or collect firewood to clean up the west courtyard.
Digging out a few bowls of rice from the jar and pouring them into a cloth bag, and then digging out a few bowls of noodles, Qiao Shi said while drying: "The radish and cabbage in the field usually get some to eat now, and it will take a few days to come down." You take some first, but I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it all at once. ”
Glancing at the small pile in the two noodle bags, Wei Xiao'e sneered secretly, did Qiao really think that he didn't understand anything, so he sent himself away with such a little thing.
This Qiao clan is even more slamming the door than the old lady of Zhitian on the side of the West Courtyard!
With a sneer in his heart, Wei Xiaogoose opened his mouth and said: "Auntie, you are the best at running the house, how many days do our family of ten eat a pot of steamed buns?" ”
Being praised by others, Qiao Shi suddenly became happy, and opened his mouth and said: "Thirty steamed buns in a big pot, eat one meal a day, eat something else at night, and eat it in two days." ”
"Usually, in addition to steaming steamed buns, I also have to steam some white potatoes, but the steamed buns also need to be one and a half per person," Wei Xiao'e immediately looked at Qiao's and said, "I'm afraid that the food that the eldest aunt got for the West Courtyard is only a few days, right?" ”
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaogo's words were waiting for him here, Qiao's eyes rolled, and he snorted lightly and said, "The West Courtyard is just your mother and daughter, and you don't work, where can you eat so much?" ”
"That's too little, aren't they?" Wei Xiao'e also looked at Qiao's fixedly, this Qiao's family, did she want their mother and daughter to drink the northwest wind directly?
Qiao Shi originally wanted to give Wei Xiaogoose a few ugly words, but suddenly thought of something, so he softened his voice and said, "Okay, I'm pretending to be some for you." Eat for a while, and then there will be nothing to eat, will we still watch you starve? ”
"Then thank you aunt first," out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure flashing at the kitchen door, Wei Xiaoge's eyes rolled, and he said with a little flattery: "I know that auntie will think about us." I'm afraid that I knew that my grandmother would embarrass us, so I deliberately asked to help us prepare things. ”
While speaking, he neatly wiped the porcelain jar and bowl clean, filled half a jar of oil and half a bowl of salt.
Qiao's heart was dissatisfied, but seeing Wei Xiaogoose smiling at him, he secretly comforted himself in his heart, reluctant that the child couldn't beat the wolf. When the time comes, these things are nothing. Thinking that Wei Xiaoge is just a seven or eight-year-old stinky girl, can she still fight herself with her careful eyes? Now that she is happy, let's see her cry in the future. He said, "You know how good your aunt is." ”
"I know, I know," Wei Xiaoge took the basket next to him, put some vegetables and potatoes on the ground into it, and said, "I know that the eldest aunt is the best for us." ”
The old lady Tian who was standing in the corner of the wall outside, her triangular eyes jumped straight at this time. She never thought that Qiao's letting her out just now was not to embarrass Wei Xiaogoose, but to help her, this eats something inside and out!
When Wei Xiaogoose walked out with his things, before he walked out of the gate, the old lady Tian behind him scolded Qiao's family.
Too lazy to pay attention to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wei Xiaoge slowly walked outside with her things.
The old courtyard and the west courtyard are across the entire village, and Wei Xiaoge did not take the shortcut he usually walked, but turned onto the only street in the village.
