Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, Fu Yingying started to cook, and found that there was no water in the water tank, and she didn't want to go to the well at the head of the village to fetch water, so she entered the space and carried more than a dozen buckets of water to fill the big water tank in the yard.

I saw that the fruit trees in the yard were wilting because of the hot weather, so I carried water and poured water on several fruit trees in the yard. Because she was poor and couldn't afford to buy fruits, Liu Meihua dug up a few fruit trees on the mountain and planted them in the yard, but the varieties were not very good, the fruits were small, and the taste was not good.

But this is her mother's love for her, and Fu Yingying has always remembered it in her heart.

At noon, Liu Meihua dragged her tired body back from the field, saw that the house was clean, and smiled slightly, the child grew up and knew that she was hurting.

"Mom, it's time to eat." Fu Yingying was very happy to see her mother again.

"Hey!" Liu Meihua was moved, wiped the moist corners of her eyes, and came to the house with her daughter.

On the table, a plate of fried beans, a plate of cucumbers, and a loofah egg drop soup were made. Although it is simple, as soon as she gets home, she can eat, and she doesn't have to be busy cooking, Liu Meihua suddenly feels a lot lighter.

"My family has grown up." Liu Meihua said softly, eating the food cooked by her daughter, it tasted very good, "I didn't expect my family Yingying to cook for the first time, and it can be so delicious." ”

Yes, this is the first time Fu Yingying has cooked for her mother.

"Mom, I'll cook for you and help you work in the future." Fu Yingying said coquettishly, thinking of Mrs. Wang, as well as the two new quilts in the house, "Mom, Mrs. Wang came today and was driven away by me." Mom, I'm not against you remarrying, I think Li Dafu in Lijia Village is a hooligan, a gangster, we don't know it in every village, and I heard that he also went to the town to prostitute himself. Such a man cannot be married. ”

Liu Meihua, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, with a bitter face, "But your grandparents have already received the bride price from others, so I can't marry me!" ”

"Mom, it's a new society now, and arranged marriages are not popular." Fu Yingying hurriedly said, "In addition, all those bride prices were taken by my grandparents and grandmothers, you can't get any money, marrying Li Dafu is equivalent to selling it to others." Even if you count on your uncles to help you, Li Dafu said that I spent money to marry a wife, and I can't beat or scold! With the greedy nature of uncles and aunts, they will never support you, and it will be our mother and daughter who will be miserable at that time! ”

Liu Meihua's eyes were complicated and contradictory, and finally sighed, "I don't have anything to honor your grandparents, those bride prices should be regarded as honoring them." ”

My mother has been burdened by the burden of life, the failure of her marriage, and the reprimand of her mother's side, and she has become cowardly and dare not resist. If you turn your face with your mother's family, you will have no relatives.

Fu Yingying was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and retorted: "Mom, you are the most filial to your grandfather and grandmother." We don't have any money, but do you usually clean my grandparents' clothes? Last time, my grandparents were sick, did you serve in the county hospital without clothes? Every year, our family has little land, and if you don't do my house, you have to go to help your grandparents and uncles first. Isn't this pile, piece by piece, filial piety? ”

Hearing her daughter's words, Liu Meihua's nose was sour, it turned out that everything she did was in her daughter's eyes, and it was not useless as her father said, "But your grandfather and grandmother have already received the money, and it is impossible to return it, and we have no money······"
