Chapter Forty-Six: Delivering Food
Seeing Leng Mei'er enter the door, Meng Meijiao shouted with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you are here." ”
"Little sister, I'm not late, am I? What are you going to do for your parents at noon? ”
"Erhe noodles of steamed buns and sorghum rice, those fish brought back by the third sister-in-law the day before yesterday, stewed with tofu, and then boiled a pot of bacon and cabbage vermicelli, that's all!"
In the past few days, the food at home in the autumn harvest must be a little stronger than usual, and there are fish and meat.
"Okay, I'll close the noodles first, and I'll help you chop the vegetables later."
The two sisters-in-law are busy in the kitchen, and only half of the pickled salted fish is used to stew tofu, and the rest can be cooked again at noon tomorrow.
After the meal was ready, the two put the food in two baskets, then took the dishes and chopsticks and went out of the house.
Other families in the village also went to the field to deliver food one after another, and everyone walked into the field while talking.
In the wheat field, as soon as the captain saw the army of food deliverers coming, he immediately shouted, "Everyone take a rest first, hurry up and eat lunch, and go to work on time after the next day." ”
The strong laborers in the wheat field immediately relaxed and sat on the ground, and some even lay down directly on the ground, seizing the time to rest for a while.
Leng Mei'er first helped her sister-in-law deliver the food to her in-laws, and then put some of the food into the basket where the dishes and chopsticks were put when she came, and after inquiring about Meng Dekui's location, she walked over with the basket.
At this time, where Meng Dekui was, several men were chatting there.
"Third child, I really didn't see it, you are really good at work, I really didn't find it before!"
Meng Dekui said in his heart: Where is this, he still keeps it, if he really spreads Huan'er's dryness, Meng Qingshan and these will definitely be pulled out of half the street by him!
"Lao Tzu has always been so capable, who is a soft egg like you, among our people, you Meng Qingshan is the most backward!"
"Hey, that's because I haven't been exerting my strength in the morning, you wait for the afternoon to let you see how powerful your brother is!"
"Cut! You just blow it, you don't have to pay taxes anyway! ”
Several people let out a strange laugh.
"Boss."
Meng Dekui immediately sat up from the ground when he heard this familiar voice.
"Daughter-in-law, why are you here to deliver food, where is my little sister?
Have you forgotten what Dr. Wang said, didn't he say that you should take care of it at home?
If you are tired, won't you take those medicines in vain? ”
Meng Dekui is also afraid of being paid attention to, mainly because his daughter-in-law still holds Meng Dazhu's family six points a day every day, so we have to pretend to be professional if we pretend to be sick!
Leng Mei'er automatically interpreted his words as that the man was afraid that she would be tired, and then said with a smile: "I see that my little sister can't take so much alone, so I came over to help, just a few steps away from exhaustion!" ”
"Third child, eat quickly, our family has also sent food."
When Meng Qingshan and the others saw Meng Laosan's daughter-in-law coming, they were embarrassed to stay together any longer, so they patted their butts and moved to a place a few meters away from the two of them.
Meng Dekui nodded at a few people, and only after seeing them go away did he take the basket in Leng Meier's hand, picked up a steamed bun with two noodles, and ate it.
"Wait, is it dirty? You wipe your hands and face first, this towel is newly washed at home, and it is just right to wipe your face when it is wet. ”
Meng Dekui glanced at the steamed bun that had been bitten by himself, and then put down the steamed bun stupidly, picked up a towel and wiped his hands and face, and then picked up the steamed bun and ate it again.
Leng Mei'er handed the chopsticks to the man, "Quickly try this salted fish stewed tofu, there is brown sugar water I brought you specially in that basket, you can drink two sips later, this can replenish your strength." ”
Meng Dekui ate most of the steamed buns and sandwiched two mouthfuls of food, only then did he feel that his empty stomach was no longer so hungry, and then looked at the steaming brown sugar water, he always felt that his daughter-in-law raised him as a child, is he so delicate?
But even if he is treated as a child, he only has joy in his heart!
Looking at the few Meng Qingshan who were eating, but still listening to the movements of the two of them with their ears, Meng Dekui's original words turned around, and blurted out words of disgust: "I'm not a child, why do you get me this sweet brown sugar water."
Besides, I've been in the sun for most of the day, and you still want me to drink something so hot, it's really troublesome for a woman. ”
After speaking, he put the brown sugar water that had opened the bottle cap into his mouth and drank it with a grunt.
Meng Qingshan, who was eavesdropping, gritted his teeth when he heard Meng Laosan's angry tone.
Damn Meng Laosan got cheap and behaved, what kind of luck does this have to be to marry such a considerate daughter-in-law, he is not happy to be disgusted there, it really makes people want to go up and beat him, but unfortunately, he really can't beat him.
If he had known that the old man was so capable, he should have followed to learn how to use two hands, and maybe he would have been the one who killed the wild boar with one punch.
Hey, it's a pity, it's hard to buy money, I knew it earlier!
Leng Mei'er felt that as long as Meng Laosan was willing to go to work and said something unpleasant, she could treat it as if she hadn't heard it!
Besides, this man also looks fierce and vicious, and people are really not so hateful.
This little thing of sesame mung beans is really not worth making her angry.
"Didn't that person hear that brown sugar water can quickly replenish physical strength, so I rushed it for you?
The work of the house is so hard and how tiring it is, isn't it right to drink some brown sugar water?
However, you are the head of our family, and I will listen to whatever the head of the family says, so it's a big deal that I won't rush you next time, okay? ”
Meng Dekui: ...... This woman is too stupid, which of his sentences said that she would not be allowed to make brown sugar water for herself tomorrow?
Although I really think that the brown sugar water is for women and children, I suddenly heard that my little daughter-in-law will not take it for me tomorrow, and I feel a little uncomfortable!
Hearing Meng Laosan's daughter-in-law talking in a low voice here, Meng Qingshan's heart became even more sour, and the jealous little eyes hung over Meng Dekui's body.
Such a virtuous little daughter-in-law, why didn't he have one?
"Did this little girl do it?"
Leng Mei'er hurriedly replied: "Well, my little sister has been stewed for a long time, and the fish bones have been stewed." ”
She thought that Meng Dekui would praise her sister-in-law, but she didn't know that this person was disgusted.
"It's a waste to let her do it, her skills are not as bad as yours."
Leng Meier: Thank you for the compliment!
Fortunately, Xiaomei is not here, if Xiaomei hears this, isn't he creating a conflict between himself and his sister-in-law?
