Chapter 114: There is a big meal at noon
It's a pity that she has nowhere to be angry, don't look at the other party just look at the shriveled old lady, but they gave birth to five sons, all of whom are tall and big, and their Chen Linxiu can't do it.
"Xia Xia!" Mafen held back her anger and walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face.
No way, when she woke up in the morning and heard the movement of sweeping the floor in the courtyard, she began to urge Chen Linxiu.
But Chen Linxiu is like a dead person, she turns over and ignores people, Mei Fen has no choice, she can't really divorce Chen Linxiu, a divorced woman doesn't have a good life, and her parents and sisters-in-law won't agree.
So Mafen came over in person.
Or shouted that Li Xia took his younger siblings to dinner, of course, this is just a pretense.
When she entered the kitchen, Mei Fen was stunned.
Is this the dirty, small, and broken kitchen of the past? How has it changed? What about the original earthen stove?
For a while, because of the money, Mei Fen felt that she was looked down upon by the people in the courtyard, and she was angry in her heart, and she kept her head high when she went in and out of the door, and didn't look at the house where Li Xia lived or the kitchen at all.
As a result, she didn't expect that she missed so many things.
This kitchen was originally a miscellaneous room, the area is not large, anyway, it is much smaller than the serious kitchen next to it, and a large square window on the west side almost occupies the width of a wall.
Now the earthen stove under the window is gone, it has become a coal stove, the coal stove is small in size, it occupies a small area, the kitchen is empty, and the water pipe is connected to come in, a sink is repaired, and it is installed next to the stove.
It's no wonder that I haven't seen much Li Xia go to the faucet in the courtyard to wash the dishes recently.
The kitchen door opens in the northwest corner, the door is a table of eight immortals, there is still fruit on it, the east wall is the courtyard wall of the people, now there is a cement platform built next to the wall, usually cut vegetables and put a dish on the table, it is very convenient.
On the deepest south wall there is a cupboard, which will be open, with neat dishes and chopsticks, pots and baskets in the lower compartment, and honeycomb coal neatly stacked in the southeast corner.
Now this kitchen looks bigger than the one next to the three of them.
Mei Fen's eyes couldn't help but be a little hot.
Coal stoves are used in the city, that is, there are still many people who use earthen stoves in the shantytown, and she has always wanted to move a coal stove back, but she is afraid that other families will steal her coal.
It would be nice to have a separate kitchen for her, and it is convenient to connect the faucet, so that when it rains, she doesn't have to carry an umbrella to the yard to wash vegetables.
"Your kitchen is pretty good." Mei Fen's heart was sour, too sour, I knew that she would have a good relationship with Li Xia, and it was good to talk to her about using a kitchen.
Li Xia smiled, "What's the matter with Aunt Cousin?" ”
Mei Fen then remembered that she had something to do, "It's still yesterday, your uncle told you, my mother is dead, I want to invite everyone to be lively together, you can go directly after school at noon, and the bus will be four stops." ”
As she spoke, Mei Fen took a step inside, and when she looked around, Li Xia was cooking millet porridge, and there was a dish of shredded lettuce on the table.
There were also five freshly fished eggs on the stove and a plate of fried shredded mustard.
At first glance, there is a lot of oil in the mustard shreds, and the bottom layer is moist, and the oil is moist, and you won't live a life at a glance, how can there be fried pickles with oil like this.
"It's okay if you can't leave, let Chen Zheng and Chen Jun take you there." It's true that her mother-in-law is alive today, but eating is a non-existent thing.
This is not a big family, and there is no habit of celebrating birthdays at all, unless it is a big birthday like 60 or 80.
Thinking of this, Mei Fen was amazed at her words, she was so smart, let Chen Zheng and Chen Jun take it, and the credibility would be even higher.
Anyway, the other party wants a few Li Xia, and her son is just leading the way, maybe he can see how Li Xia and them are taught a lesson, and tell her when they come back.
"Auntie, thank you, but we have to come back at noon to cook for grandparents." Li Xia smiled and politely refused.
Mei Fen didn't expect that she would go out in person, but she was refused, "You kid, your grandparents will also go, there will be good dishes at noon, eat meat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Mei Fen saw the chopped meat on the board, Li Xia still had to make a broth, stay in the kitchen, if Lin Jing came back, he boiled the noodles in the pot of water, and he could eat the soup when it was hot.
If he doesn't reply, this broth will be noon soup, and the weather can handle it anyway.
"Oh, you don't care, don't worry, we will definitely bring your grandparents at noon, my mother's family also wants to meet you, officially recognize relatives, don't forget, go after school at noon." Mei Fen simply finished speaking, without giving Li Xia a chance to refuse, and ran back to the house directly.
Afraid that Li Xia would come to her again and say that she wouldn't go, Mei Fen went back to the house and confessed to Chen Zheng and Chen Jun, stuffed four cents to buy them breakfast, and hurriedly left with her bag and her son, and she didn't plan to make breakfast.
Chen Zheng and Chen Jun were very happy to take the money, and they were even happier when they thought that there would be a big meal to eat at noon.
That's right, Mei Fen said too much, only said that they should take Li Xia to her grandmother's house for a birthday dinner, but didn't say that there was no such thing as a birthday dinner at all.
The two brothers hid the money in their pockets, took another look at Chen Linxiu, who was still lying on the bed and didn't get up, glanced at each other, and squeezed over together, "Dad, Mom won't make breakfast for us again, you give the money quickly, we're going to starve to death!" ”
Chen Linxiu frowned, he was off duty this morning, so he didn't have to get up so early to go to work, when he heard the words, he turned over, took the coat that was on the bedside, took out the money, gave five cents to one person, turned over and fell asleep again.
As soon as Li Xia and his family sat down to eat, they heard Chen Zheng and Chen Jun running out of the courtyard with their schoolbags outside the house.
"I don't cook, and it's unhygienic to eat outside!" Chen Xinchun shook his head and sighed.
I really don't know how Mei Fen is a mother, and Chen Linxiu doesn't talk about her.
"Grandpa eats vegetables." Li Xia took a chopstick vinegar and shredded lettuce to Chen Xinchun, and handed her grandmother a peeled boiled egg, put the mustard shredded into her bowl, and mixed it with the porridge.
The old couple have different tastes, Chen Xinchun likes to be jealous, and Grandma Hu likes spicy food.
Chen Xinchun shook his head, no longer thinking about Chen Linxiu's family, but staring at his wife and letting her eat slowly one bite at a time.
After eating, Li Xia told Chen Xinchun about Mei Fen letting them go to dinner at noon.
"Don't go, let's not go." Chen Xinchun is not in a very good mood, can't Chen Linxiu understand his words? I actually found the children directly.
With Chen Xinchun's words, Li Xia went to school without any psychological burden, and naturally he would not follow Chen Zheng and Chen Jun at noon.
Chen Zheng and Chen Jun were still desperate, as soon as Li Xia said no, the reluctant expressions on the brothers' faces immediately turned into happiness, and then they hurriedly ran off campus to take the bus.
When the brothers took the bus, they still regretted that they forgot to pay for the bus!
