Chapter 36: The Sponsored Grandchildren
People become smaller, and everything seems to be like a child.
When it comes to the point of deep sleep, I can't wake up.
Liu Chenxing slept until the next morning, completely unaware that he almost couldn't get in last night.
Xu forgot that their family was going to come back that night, and the courtyard door of the Liu family was locked from the inside, but the yellow fence wall was not high at this time, and Liu Qianli was not needed to be a father, so Liu Qingshan directly climbed over the wall and entered the hospital to open the door in one go, and their family of four was able to return to the room.
In fact, when I went back late that day, there was still an advantage, the return gift given by the Liu family did not have to go to Grandma Liu first as usual.
It is estimated that he was afraid that his in-laws would not like to stay in his mother's house for a long time, and the Liu family got up earlier than usual, and he had already started to eat in the stove room before the Liu family got up.
The rations of the Liu family's three meals a day were locked in the warehouse by Grandma Liu, and every meal had to be taken out by her when she opened the door.
At this time, Grandma Liu had not yet gotten up, and the Liu family used the five catties of flour brought back to make morning food.
The flour is ground out of the wheat stone in the wheat field of the Liujia family, and there is no modern machine to grind the flour to remove the wheat husk first. Grandma Liu's mind is delicate, and she has a plan when she grinds wheat, when she is alone, she eats more shells and less noodles, and when her son comes home, she eats slightly thinner coarse wheat noodles, and when she brings her daughter back to her in-laws' house, she naturally wants white and fine fine noodles.
The Liu family has many sons and grandchildren, and the grandsons may not be able to eat well.
The little granddaughter is thin and small, and she is very young, so she has to eat fine noodles.
Therefore, these five catties of wheat flour are all fine noodles that Grandma Liu has repeatedly sifted through the bran with a dustpan.
In the north, noodles are the mainstay, and the Liu family eats coarse noodles with bran almost all year round, and in order to make the wheat noodles last longer, they also add wild vegetables to them. Liu knew why Grandma Liu gave her fine noodles, so she didn't hesitate to knead the noodles with water and make a dumpling, which is the noodle soup of later generations, which is the most important staple food nowadays.
The dough sheet is a fine white fine surface.
The noodle soup is seasoned with soybean sauce with soy sauce, mushrooms as a side dish, and a large spoonful of sesame oil at the end.
So, on this morning, everyone in the Liu family started with Grandma Liu's screams, "Second family! What do you do!? ”
The flavor of soy sauce and sesame oil is fragrant.
The viscous soup, thin dough sheets, and tender green green onions are all colorful, flavorful.
This hot gluttony arouses people's appetites.
Xu is Grandma Liu's skin is already dark, and everyone doesn't seem to notice that Grandma Liu is having a black face, and they are all sweating profusely eating gluttony.
Grandma Liu's face was even darker.
Liu didn't seem to notice it, he still looked gentle, but he put down the wild vegetable steamed cake in his hand and said to Grandma Liu: "Ah Jia, this is the fine noodles that my aunt sifted by herself, saying that it is about to enter the summer, cook a bowl of hot dumplings for everyone, just to remove the moisture in the body." ”
When he recalled that he had not yet arrived in Futian when he was a child, Grandma Liu had already made dumplings for herself every now and then to remove moisture, and Liu couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "There are not many fine noodles, and the old people and children have to be taken care of first, so only for the grandfather and the family, as well as the nephews and nieces, and a few of their small ones will be eaten first." In addition, the eldest brother studied hard, so he made an extra copy for the eldest uncle. ”
Liu Wanli has always done a good job of saving face, and when he heard Liu's mention of himself, he was also soft-mouthed, so he had to say a word or two for Liu's family, and said: "It's still the second brother and sister who thinks thoughtfully, my reading is really nerve-wracking, and I need to make up for it." ”
The Liu family has always rarely spoken to Liu Wanli head-on, and only listened without saying anything at the moment.
At this time, Liu Baili also unexpectedly helped: "The second sister-in-law's family sent the fine noodles, but the second sister-in-law didn't make a bite for herself, they all honored Ye Niang, took care of the juniors, and let the younger brother admire." ”
Liu Baili is a doctor of wine, and he would have said that everyone was not surprised that Liu Baili could say such a thing, but they were surprised that Liu Baili, who had always been impartial and only took care of himself, actually helped Liu.
Especially the little An who was sitting next to him, he was the most angry, this Liu family dared to cut the fine noodles first and then make them into dumplings, but they still let them eat wild vegetable steamed cakes, San Lang even helped the Liu family!?
The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became, so Xiao An kicked her husband under the table.
Liu Baili was caught off guard and felt pain, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he hurriedly smiled in disguise.
When a person reaches a certain age, he unconsciously begins to obey his son's will, even if he doesn't want to admit it, thinking that he is still the head of the family, Liu Laozhang still reprimanded the old wife after his sons expressed their position: "This is the filial piety of the second family, don't you hurry up and eat!" ”
In the end, it has been a husband and wife for decades, and Uncle Liu still gave face to his old wife, and after a reprimand to expose Liu's actions, he changed the topic and said: "Old family, don't you have something to say to everyone?" ”
Hearing this, Wang's was overjoyed, and immediately forgot the unhappiness of only being able to eat steamed cakes with wild vegetables, put the chopsticks in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday, my mother's eldest brother came over and said that I, Aye, saw that Qingyun was a piece of reading material, and I really couldn't bear that Qingyun was ten years old and hadn't entered the school hall, so after thinking about it, I decided to sponsor Qingyun to study." ”
"Poof!" Liu Qingshan drank the noodle soup, and one of them sprayed out inadvertently, but fortunately, the soup was hot, so he only drank a small sip and sprayed it in his bowl.
Liu Chenxing was better, and only coughed lightly.
Wang was unhappy, and scolded the brothers and sisters with a straight face, "What do you two mean by this?" Couldn't I afford to support my grandson!? ”
"You said it was your grandson!" Xiao An's interface said: "I have several grandchildren in my family, how can I not send my grandson to school, but send my grandson to school?" ”
Xiao An's mouth was faster than his brain, and then he looked puzzled: "And when did Wang Dalang come yesterday?" How did I not know? ”
Liu Baili had no choice but to rush to the first question, but when he heard Xiao An's words, he couldn't help but think deeply.
Wang's face was a little angry, and he glanced back at Liu Wanli before he regained his composure, but he lost the confidence he had just now, and said, "Of course you don't know!" You said that the second brother and they went back to Liu's house, so you took your three nephews back to An's house. ”
This is indeed the case, Xiao An's is not easy to refute for a while, but he still feels that there is something strange about this matter.
Wang was greatly relieved to see that Xiao An stopped talking.
Liu Wanli can't stand it anymore, stupid woman! You can't do a little thing!
"My father-in-law still has a son and grandson to study, although I like Qingyun to be smart, but I can't do it. Therefore, only half of the bundle was promised, and the other half of the bundle was offset by my daily copying of books for the school. Liu Wanli personally explained: "In fact, the school has long taken a fancy to the reading talent of my father and son, and gave Shu Yu half of the admission conditions, but it is not easy for Brother Ye Niang to provide for me, how can I provide for Qingyun again?" Fortunately, after the father-in-law learned about it, he also weighed it again and again, first, he thought that Qingyun was really smart, and second, he wanted his grandson to study in his reputation, so he was willing. ”
This is quite reasonable, and the three-room couple has nothing to say.
Xiao Anshi suddenly shouted in surprise and said, "Ah! Qingyun has entered the school hall, isn't the eldest brother more free, just in time to give my son Qinghai enlightenment!? ”
Liu Wanli's face instantly seemed to have swallowed a mosquito and a fly, and he didn't vomit, and he didn't vomit.
