Wang Xiuli's head hung lower.

After a long time, she asked, "Did someone tell your father about matchmaking?" ”

Qinglian thought about it and said: "Yes, but my father doesn't have a stubble, he said that he led the four of us sisters over, and when the four of our sisters are married, he is also old, so it's good to help us take the children to play cards." ”

Wang Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Your father is a good person...... I'm sorry for him. ”

Qinglian smiled: "It's all over, my father is doing well now, better than before." ”

Wang Xiuli blushed.

She diverted the topic and asked about He Dahong, Qinglian said: "My aunt is making incense again now, and the incense is in short supply, she only has money in her heart now, and she looks down on her and her uncle a lot, saying that she will let it be, and she will leave if she can pass, and she will raise her brother alone." ”

Wang Xiuli smiled bitterly and said: "If you can, you won't leave, and if you leave, you will know how bitter it is." ”

Qinglian raised her eyes to look at her, and Wang Xiuli covered her face with a bottle of vinegar.

Qinglian thought, you mean yourself, right? But my aunt is just the opposite of you, you were spoiled by my father at home and became a princess, and my aunt was a servant in her family, and the situation after the divorce was also very different.

She finally couldn't hold back and asked her mother in a low voice: "Do you regret divorcing your father?" ”

Wang Xiuli was stunned suddenly, and looked at Qinglian and froze.

After a long time, she whispered: "I don't regret it, I regret leaving your father late, because I ...... It's cruel to him, and I want him to be happy. ”

Qinglian couldn't understand her mother's thoughts for a while, so she stared at her.

Wang Xiuli smiled and said: "Patronizing and talking, hurry up and cook, I still have to go to Director Guo's unit to bring him food." Oops, in fact, your aunt is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, don't look at always making Director Gu angry, in fact, she hurts him very much. ”

Qinglian was silent, and helped her cook with her hands and feet.

The meal was ready, Qinglian was not hungry, so she helped her mother pack the food for Director Guo and asked her mother to deliver it quickly, and she helped her aunt serve the meal and take care of her.

The aunt finished eating, and the mother also came back from the meal, and Qinglian said that the Meiling sisters were still waiting for her in the department store, so they said goodbye and left.

She told Meiling to meet at the door of the department store, and when she arrived, Meiling and her sister were standing at the door waiting for her.

Qinglian asked apologetically, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Meiling smiled and said, "No, I walked around with Shuling inside, hehe, the first time I visited a department store in the city, it's so good, there is everything in it." ”

Shuling is 16 years old, and it is also the age of beauty, because she walked around the department store, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she said that she saw something and everything, everything made her novel.

Meiling smiled and teased her: "What are you so excited about, and you don't have the money to buy it." ”

She grabbed her sister's arm and said, "I'm happy if I don't have money to buy it." ”

Qinglian said: "You and your sister work hard to make money, and when you come here, you can buy whatever you want." ”

She nodded solemnly and said, "What Sister Qinglian said is that I will work hard with my eldest sister in the future to get rich, earn a lot of money, and buy new clothes for the whole family to wear." ”

Her dream is to buy clothes for the whole family.

At this time, Meiling took out the wool she bought and showed it to Qinglian, who saw that it was dark blue, so she asked, "Who are you sweating for?" ”

Meiling said in her ear: "To Brother Jianjian, I want to thank him." ”

Qinglian smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, he probably hasn't worn a sweater yet." ”

At the same time, I thought to myself: The two of them have a play.

The three of them arrived at the donkey cart as they spoke, Meiling drove the car, Qinglian and Shuling sat in the carriage, and hurried home.

When the three of them got home, it was already dusk, and when Qinglian arrived home, she saw that her father was picking up elbows with Sun Ershuang, and the family was full of joy. It turned out that Qingjun had already informed him about today's incident in the county seat, and He Hongshan was happy, so he called Sun Ershuang and his aunt, saying that they wanted to stew meat to celebrate.

He Hongshan said happily to Qinglian: "You don't want to taste the elbow made by your second aunt, it tastes the same as the one you ate last time in the county, so I bought the elbow for your second aunt to make." ”

Qinglian was overjoyed, and after putting today's money away, she rolled up her sleeves to help. He Hongshan looked at Sun Ershuang next to him, and said to Qinglian: "You just came back, go into the house to rest, and I'll pour you a bowl of water." ”

As he spoke, he led Qinglian to the house.

Qinglian knew that he was anxious to hear his mother's news, so she followed him to the house with understanding.

When He Hongshan entered the house, he closed the door and asked eagerly, "Have you seen your mother?" She's okay. ”

Of course, Qinglian didn't mention the matter of her mother and Zhang Yaru, so she said that her mother was still the same, and said that she would take the opportunity to ask Guo Baochuan's father for a leave of absence, and let me take my three younger sisters to the county seat to find her.

He Hongshan listened to the "oh oh" and nodded. Qinglian knew that he still had something to ask in his heart, so he said it directly, "My mother misses her sister, and she regrets that she was too willful before, and she cried." ”

He Hongshan frowned when he heard this, looked at Qinglian and asked, "She, crying?" ”

Qinglian nodded and said softly, "My mother said she was sorry for you, you are a good person." ”

He Hongshan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a panic: "She, why did she think of this...... You tell her, don't let her be cranky, I don't deserve her, she was wronged with me in those years......"

Qinglian had to uphold justice: "Dad, she didn't suffer from being wronged with you, it was you who were wronged, and her sisters were also wronged, she should repent." ”

Speaking of his daughter, He Hongshan was silent.

Qinglian clapped her hands and said, "Okay, we have encountered such a good thing, it's time to celebrate, don't talk about this, let's go, Dad, let's go to the kitchen to cook." ”

The two of them went to the kitchen to work together, Qinglian told him in detail the specific content of the contract signed with the vegetable company, saying that tomorrow the vegetable company will send a car to pull the garlic, they are responsible for laying the bundle, and they have to find the village people to help, of course, there is still paid labor, and the wine and meat are managed at noon.

He Dahong finished the last tube of fragrant noodles and also came to the kitchen to help.

There are still some dried vegetables in the New Year's goods prepared a year ago, He Hongshan has made a good bean curd, soaked kelp, fungus, and everyone is busy together.

Sun Ershuang didn't look at the formula Qinglian brought at all, and started to make his elbow.

Qinglian secretly observed, she was skillful, the ingredients were careful, and she looked confident, and she looked like a veteran of cooking.

When the smell of meat wafted out, Qinglian quipped: "I'm no longer afraid of someone coming to rub the incense." ”

The whole family laughed.

When Sun Ershuang put a fat elbow on the dining table, Qinglian ignored the etiquette, tore a chopstick and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed the product, gave Sun Ershuang a thumbs up, and praised angrily: "That's the taste!" ”

Sun Ershuang smiled faintly.

Then everyone moved the chopsticks together, and then they all praised the deliciousness, and He Hongshan also tasted it carefully and said that it was indeed the elbow taste of the day.

Qinglian asked: "Aunt Ershuang, do you have any other specialties besides being able to make elbows?" ”

Sun Ershuang swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said: "Of course, chicken, fish, duck, and goose all have exclusive secret recipes, as well as various stir-fried dishes, and cold dishes also have tricks, my father said, my grandfather cooked for Pu Yi back then." ”

"Wow! That's awesome! A table exclaimed.

Grandma Tang smiled and said: "People, they are all bottles with lids, you don't know what is in anyone's bottle, so everyone must be respectful." ”

"Uh-huh, yes, yes." Everyone was full of praise.

"Grandma, tell me another story." Qinglian and several younger sisters are pestering their grandmother and yelling.

Grandma Tang smiled and said, "Talk, speak, talk after dinner." ”

"Oh!" Red Lotus and Mulian both cheered.

As soon as she finished eating, Grandma Tang was dragged by her granddaughters to sit on the bed in the back room and tell stories, while Qinglian and her two aunts cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

He Hongshan went to the livestock house again to make a fire and roast it.

The three of them were in the kitchen before they could clean up, and there was a sound of bicycles in the yard, and He Dahong was shocked: Sure enough, the dog was standing at the door of the kitchen.

Qinglian hurriedly patted He Dahong and said hello: "Uncle, you are here, hurry up and enter the house, my father has just lit a fire." ”

He pushed the aunt who was standing still, and whispered, "Auntie, hurry up and talk to my uncle." ”

He Hongshan heard the movement, walked out of the livestock house, and lukewarmly beckoned the dog into the house.

The dog silently walked into the livestock house, He Dahong pondered for a while, and followed him into the house.

He Hongshan turned the fire on, got up and walked out, and let the two of them have a good talk.

Qinglian wiped her hands, poured two glasses of water and sent them over, and when she entered the door, she heard the dog ask in a muffled voice: "Are you going or not?" ”
