Chapter 8: I can't bear it
"Second brother and sister," after listening to Xie's horn, Wang said weakly, "I won't let my mother be wronged, I just bought fifteen catties of polished rice." ”
In an instant, a terrible voice sounded, "What, you, what did you say?" ”
Xie Shi, who was too surprised, was distorted by his sister-in-law's words, and his originally sallow face was a little more red, and after looking at Wang vigilantly, the words of hatred for iron and steel kept popping out.
"Sister-in-law, how do you have the money to buy polished rice? How can you be so conscienceless, my mother treats us so well, you still play these careful thoughts, is it short of your food or your drink? You ......"
Listening to Xie's fast and sharp words constantly ringing in his ears, Wang only felt his head buzzing, his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't say a word.
"Second daughter-in-law, shut up!" Jiang Nuan in the room reprimanded.
Her daughter-in-law here is also too good to say, which makes people a little broken, but she is really a very good person.
Jiang Nuan was afraid of arguing with the two sleeping girls, so she walked out of the room.
"I asked me to buy those polished rice, I can't blame your sister-in-law."
"Mother, polishing rice is 4 yuan a catty, how much does it cost," Xie Shi's face was a little anxious, "Our family's money has to be saved up for my mother's medical treatment." ”
The paste that the Huang family used to buy was those broken rice dregs, cheap and real.
"I'm not sick, I don't need to be treated." Jiang Nuan emphasized this sentence again.
In the past, Jiang's was not sick, but his body was too bad and weak, so it made people feel sick and crooked.
But he was only weak and not sick.
She didn't know what Jiang told everyone, and one or two would think she was sick.
Listening to Jiang Nuan's words, the two concubines showed expressions that I knew that my mother was comforting us.
Scold......
Tired!
Closing his eyes, Jiang Nuan simply stopped explaining this.
"I asked me to buy those polished rice, our family is young, the food is too poor, the body is badly lost, those polished rice is bought to replenish the body, and the porridge in the morning is replaced by polished rice to cook, these are eaten first, and then bought after eating."
Jiang Nuan's words made Xie Shi's brows jump, and he immediately refused, "It's good for my mother to eat it herself, we don't need ** rice." ”
"Yes, it's good for my mother to eat." Wang agreed.
Hearing this, somehow, an evil fire suddenly rose in Jiang Nuan's heart.
Pulling them to the basin with one hand, he pointed to the water as quiet as a mirror and said, "Look at what the hell you all look like, you are young, and you are not as old a woman as old as me, you can't feel sorry for yourself?" ”
In the mirror, the two women with neatly combed hair, wearing brown linen clothes with patches, are thin as if a layer of skin has been attached to the bones, which is particularly scary.
The two concubines looked at the basin and found nothing unusual.
Hearing Jiang Nuan's words, I understood why she was angry.
Suddenly, I felt beautiful in my heart.
It's good that my mother feels sorry for them!
The cheerful light flowed in his eyes, and Xie Shi had the courage to hug Jiang Nuan's arm.
"Mother~" The voice is soft and waxy, sweet like drinking honey.
Jiang Nuan couldn't bear it, and in an instant, the flush spread from the tip of his ear to his neck.
The heart beats faster and faster like a drum.
Goblin! Jiang Nuan complained in his heart.
didn't pull his arm away, turned his head to the side, Jiang Nuan said with a straight face, "What an adult, don't be coquettish." ”
I can't stand it, Jiang Nuan added in her heart.
"Mother, no matter how old I am, I am my mother's daughter." Xie Shi opened his mouth shamelessly.
Seeing that Jiang Nuan didn't pull out her hand, knowing that her mother-in-law didn't reject her, her heart became more and more cheerful.
Seeing this, the Wang family on the side was envious in his heart, but he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as the Xie family, and he really couldn't let go of his face.
After thinking about it, Jiang Nuan nodded approvingly, "Yes, they are all children." ”
In their family, the eldest Huang Boss is only twenty-one years old, which is the age of going to college, but they are not all a group of children.
After figuring it out, Jiang Nuan's eyes showed a kind of kindness that she couldn't explain herself.
"It's not early, don't make trouble," patting Xie's hand, Jiang Nuan took out a hundred yuan, "These copper plates will give you pocket money." ”
Catching the copper plate, Xie subconsciously looked at Wang next to him, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Second brother and sister, my mother also gave it to me." Wang patted his waist, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
The pocket money that my mother gave her was 115 Wen.
"Yes, there are all, the third daughter-in-law will come back too," Jiang Nuan explained, "This is your pocket money, and the expenses are your own, and this money will buy you something you like." ”
"Mother~" Xie Shi threw herself into Jiang Nuan's arms, "You are so good!" ”
Jiang Nuan, who was pounced, almost flashed his old waist.
She wondered a little, had Xie always been so enthusiastic? Can Jiang stand this character?
What Jiang Nuan didn't know was that in the past, the Xie family would never dare to be so presumptuous to the Jiang family, and now she is like this, it is all Jiang Nuan's own indulgence.
Xie Shi is very clever, holding Jiang Nuan's arm and not being reprimanded, he will only be more unscrupulous in the future.
The Xie family is extremely patriarchal, and the daughter is used to work in exchange for the bride price, and the Xie family, who has lacked maternal love since childhood, will not give up as long as she sees a little hope.
once again straightened his face to maintain the majesty of his family, "Don't be coquettish, collect the money, don't let people touch it." ”
"Mother, I'll put it away." Xie happily put the copper plate into his pocket.
Next to him, Wang looked at the sky and whispered, "Mother, it's time to make dinner." ”
"Then do it, Xiao Wu, they should also come back."
"But," Wang asked softly, "how do you make dinner?" ”
If it was in the past, she wouldn't have had this kind of doubt, brown rice porridge and a handful of wild vegetables would have been done.
Today, I bought a lot of good things.
Before the words of "stewed ......" were finished, Jiang Nuan thought that her two sons would not come back at noon, and after thinking about it, she spoke, "Don't cook the chicken and fish first, wait for the eldest and second to come back in the evening, and eat those meat mixed with wild vegetables and minced dumplings." ”
After saying this, Jiang Nuan secretly pondered to himself, two catties of meat and wild vegetables can chop a pot of stuffing, which should be enough for a family to eat.
Thinking of the scene of dinner, she added, "Make more, don't you two drink noodle soup when the time comes." ”
"Mother," Xie Shi was a little puzzled, "When did our family buy meat?" ”
"I bought it with polished rice, along with a chicken and a few bones." Wang explained in a whisper.
Hearing this, although Xie Shi was distressed, he didn't say anything more.
The money is spent and then earned, the mother is good for them, they can't be ignorant.
hugged Jiang Nuan's arm again, and his voice was sweet and trance-like, "Listen to my mother, do more today, my sister-in-law and I don't drink noodle soup." ”
"Not today," Jiang Nuan corrected, "It's going to be like this in the future, you two have to give me enough to eat every day." ”
The two daughters-in-law are the thinnest in the family, and if she doesn't tell them, these two may be full of water as before.
