Chapter 14: The Old Time Without Food
Liu Jiaojiao saw the bottle in Li Xuan's hand, and took a closer look at the shiny things in it, which were still swimming, which aroused her interest.
She walked up to Li Xuan and asked, "Is that a firefly?" ”
Li Xuan let out an "um" and turned around to leave.
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”
Li Xuan glanced at Liu Jiaojiao, then at the bottle, and said, "If you want to see it, go catch it yourself." ”
bypassed Liu Jiaojiao and walked towards the way home.
Liu Jiaojiao looked at his back and said: "What are you doing, don't let my brother see you again next time, I will beat you when I see you, pick up the tattered child!" ”
She shouted the last few words, trying to save some face for her embarrassment, and begged him in front of a child who was picking up rags, but he did not agree, which was a serious insult to her identity.
Li Xuan only smiled contemptuously, did not look back, put one hand in his pocket, and went home with the bottle in the other.
When I was about to arrive at the door, I saw my grandmother talking and laughing with Aunt Wang next door, and I vaguely felt that it was about Yu Tian's family, so I stood aside and listened as if nothing happened.
Aunt Wang said: "Look at Yu Jinsheng's mother's appearance, she was a shrew when she was young, and she hasn't changed when she is old. ”
Grandma Li Xuan said: "She thinks differently from those of us, we all hope that the children will have a good life, and she will not stop if she does not find trouble for the children." ”
Aunt Wang said: "This time, Yu Jinsheng's mother-in-law was driven away, and no one took care of Yu Tian Yule, no, the family went to live in the market." ”
Grandma Li Xuan said: "No, the children are busy with business, and they don't care about being grandma, and they don't let them be grandma's care, this is looking for Zhang Mei's stubble." ”
Second Aunt Wang said: "Such a mother-in-law is enough for Zhang Mei." ”
Further down, Li Xuan didn't listen to it, only thinking that he might not be able to see Yu Tian in the future, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as pressing a stone.
Yu Tian followed her parents to the market, she rarely comes, but now she comes here at night, which reminds her of her grandmother, usually at this time grandma takes her to eat.
Yu Tian asked her mother: "Mom, will grandma come for a while?" I want to find grandma. ”
Mom beat her spirit and said, "Grandma is not coming today, let's go see grandma in two days, okay?" ”
Yu Tian lowered her head and said "um".
Entering the house, my mother took Yu Tian Yule upstairs, Yu Le was no stranger to anywhere, saw the big sofa upstairs, ran up excitedly, and stepped on it to play trampoline.
Yu Jinsheng hugged Yu Le and said, "Son, this is not a trampoline. ”
Yu Leke didn't care about this, he wanted to break free from his father's arms, and said, "Dad, I want to play." ”
Yu Jinsheng smiled: "Okay, okay, take off your shoes and play!" ”
Yu Tian saw that his younger brother could play, so he took off his shoes and jumped up.
Yu Jinsheng instructed Yu Tian: "Tiantian, play with your brother here, don't let your brother fall down!" ”
Yu Tian smiled and said, "I know Dad." ”
Yu Jinsheng saw that the two children were so happy, and the depressed mood just now was relieved.
He walked to the kitchen, saw Zhang Mei cooking, and said, "I'll do it, you can rest." ”
Yu Jinsheng is the eldest in the family, taking care of his younger siblings, he has been cooking since he was a child, but with Zhang Mei at home, he rarely cooks.
Zhang Mei did not answer, nor did she mean to leave.
Yu Jinsheng said: "Bring your mother here in two days and live with us, okay?" ”
Zhang Mei took a deep breath, didn't stop picking vegetables in her hand, and said: "If you bring my mother here, she will follow her here to make trouble, I can see through your mother's character." ”
Yu Jinsheng said: "Then give your mother more money to spend, and buy whatever you want." ”
Zhang Mei choked up and said: "My mother doesn't want my money, she came to our house and wanted to help me take care of the children, it was to help me, why is your mother so unreasonable!" ”
The words that were backlogged in Zhang Mei's heart were still said by her.
Yu Jinsheng said: "That's my mother, what can I do?" ”
Yes, that's my own mother, an unreasonable mother, you say that she has ten sentences waiting for you, and she can't quarrel, so she found Yu Jinrong Yu Jinyi, and held a meeting with the whole family to criticize him alone.
So Yu Jinsheng is smart, he can't do anything to his mother, he is tough on outsiders, he can't fight like this, he can't treat his mother like this, he can only follow her first, and then live his own little life.
Zhang Mei sighed, she has nothing to do with such a mother-in-law, what her mother-in-law has done to herself is more hurtful than this, how about it, she can't give up her children, and Yu Jinsheng, who is very good to herself, lives like this.
When Zhang Mei and Yu Jinsheng first got married, they lived with their mother-in-law, and their mother-in-law didn't like this daughter-in-law, so she could be said to hate it, so she gave them a stake garden early and let them build a house, so that they could move out as soon as possible.
Let them build a house, only part of the brick money was paid, and the rest was left to the two young people to figure it out by themselves, and Yu Jinsheng borrowed money from everywhere to build a new house.
The house was built, there was no money in his hand, and he still owed a lot of debts, and part of the money Yu Jinsheng earned was left behind and part of it was repaid.
Zhang Mei was pregnant at the time, and she couldn't go out to work, and sometimes she couldn't open the pot at home, so she could only go hungry.
Yu Jinsheng came back from working outside, but he was really hungry, so he ran to the roof of the house, enough for the neighbor's dates to eat.
Yu Jinsheng can deal with it, but seeing his wife starving and pregnant, he couldn't bear it, and went home several times to ask his mother for food, but his mother sternly refused.
Yu Jinsheng is also out of the way, and the living cannot be suffocated by urine. Taking advantage of his mother's absence, he jumped over the wall into the yard and found a few bags containing some millet, rice, and corn grits. Seeing that there were still freshly steamed buns in the pot, I took a few by the way, and they were still hot.
When I got home, I gave Zhang Mei all the hot buns, made water, and boiled millet porridge.
Zhang Mei saw that it was steamed buns and millet porridge, and had doubts in her heart, but she was so hungry that she ate the buns in her mouth and asked, "Where did you get them?" ”
Yu Jinsheng said: "Don't worry about it, you can eat enough." ”
Zhang Mei smiled and handed the bun to Yu Jinsheng's mouth and said, "You take a bite." ”
Yu Jinsheng looked at the bun, moved his head to the side, and said, "I was full before I came, and I will be able to hold on if I eat again." ”
Saying that, he walked to the kitchen, Yu Jinsheng didn't want to take a bite, let him eat it openly, he could eat all four buns.
The millet porridge was boiled and brought to Zhang Mei, Yu Jinsheng said: "I have to go out to work, I come back late at night, eat by myself first, leave me alone, I'll eat outside." ”
After saying that, he went out and left.
Not long after Yu Jinsheng went out, he heard someone scolding outside the gate, and then knocked heavily on the door, Zhang Mei had some strength after eating, so she got out of bed and went to open the door.
