In a small, dilapidated courtyard in the village, the couple had just gone to bed.

As soon as Hu Youqing's head was on the pillow, he was about to fall asleep. Which Cheng's daughter-in-law, who wanted to sleep on the side, kicked Hu Youqing, "Hey, let me ask you, what is the Shen family's food, how many bowls of rice have you eaten?" ”

Hu Youqing is also a helper of the Shen family, after returning from dinner at the Shen family, he was busy at home, carrying water and chopping firewood, and finally got the energy to rest, but the daughter-in-law next to him asked unrelentingly, Hu Youqing turned over impatiently. "I don't sleep at night, why do you ask this?"

When Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law saw that Hu Youqing turned his back to her, she reached out and twisted Hu Youqing's arm, "Ask you, how many bowls of rice have you eaten." "Although the grain has just been harvested, most of the people in the village do not open their stomachs to produce rice, and they eat thin porridge or vegetable paste on weekdays. This makes the family crowd large.

The same is true of the Hu family, Hu Youqing has two elder brothers, because his father and mother are here, and they are not separated, so the Hu family is such a big family, they all eat and live together. This time, Hu Youqing was selected by the Shen family to be a helper, even if the salary had to be handed over to the public middle school, but at least Hu Youqing was able to eat enough these days.

Therefore, Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law was also overjoyed, and originally hoped that Hu Youqing could bring something back to give her a few bites, but what did she think, Hu Youqing finished his work, and lay down and fell asleep.

Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law is also quite unpleasant, Hu Youqing is honest, never cheats and cheats in work, and asks reluctantly when he thinks about it: "What did I tell you, don't rush forward when you work, and don't think about saving people when you eat." If there is no oil and water in the stomach, how can you have the strength to work tomorrow! You mean, how many bowls of rice have you eaten? ”

Hu Youqing thought that this was his new daughter-in-law, or said angrily: "Two bowls." ”

"Why did you only eat so little? Is there no rice in the Shen family? When you were at my house, you could eat four bowls of rice! ”

Hu Youqing worked hard and ate a lot of food. For this reason, even his own mother did not treat him well, saying that he ate too much.

Hu Youqing has done a day's work, he is tired, and he really doesn't have the energy to mumble to his daughter-in-law about today's Shen family's meals. "I don't let people sleep, I have to get up early to work tomorrow!"

"I've heard that the dishes that the Shen family made for the helpers this time are all pigs, and our family is willing to eat those things, how can we eat enough. I only ate two bowls of this rice, so how can I have the strength to work. I can tell you, if the Shen family is still a pig in the water tomorrow, you don't have to work hard like a fool. ”

Hu Youqing couldn't stand it anymore, and sat up suddenly, "In the end, you can't let people sleep!" All day long, don't think about it, just listen to those long-tongued women say something that they don't have, the Shen family's food is very good, it's because the dishes are so good, so I only ate two bowls of rice! ”

Hu Youqing has been in such a hurry because he was newly married, and Hu Youqing has always been gentle and gentle with his new daughter-in-law.

Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law listened to Hu Youqing's accusation with red eyes, and before Hu Youqing finished speaking, she had already cried and wiped her tears.

Seeing his daughter-in-law crying, Hu Youqing didn't have an idea, "Oh, don't cry, I-I don't mean anything else, you don't want to listen to these words, so I won't be able to say it in the future?" ”

"I'm tired, that's why I want to go to bed early."

"Then you can sleep."

Hu Youqing was tossed like this, and most of his sleepiness was gone, and he patiently coaxed his new daughter-in-law, "You are crying like this, how can I still have the heart to sleep, I will go and wring a handkerchief for you, and you wipe your face." ”

Hu Youqing wrung his handkerchief, waited for his daughter-in-law to wipe her face, and then said cautiously: "We grew up together since we were children, and you also know that I can't speak, and I don't mean anything else, just let you stop listening to the nonsense of those who go to the seven aunts and eight aunts." I only ate two bowls of rice today, because the Shen family's food was so good, that is, when we got married, the table was not as good as the Shen family. There are fish and meat, and all the dishes are meat dishes.

There are more than a dozen helpers eating, and the Shen family is divided into three tables, just like our family's square table, the dishes on the table are stacked, if the dishes are not enough, the pot is enough! I did eat with an open stomach today, and it was enough to eat too many bowls of gnocchi, steamed buns, and rice, and I didn't grieve myself.

The Shen family doesn't seem to be like what they said outside, picking at the rope. I'm going to go the first day today, and I'm not embarrassed to bring you a steamed bun or something, and when someone brings it another day, I'll save some food and bring it back for you. ”

Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law already blushed when she heard this, "Phew, I'm not a rare person to eat, I'm worried that you won't have enough to eat, and I've wronged myself." ”

"I knew that my daughter-in-law was the best!" Hu Youqing said, and hugged his daughter-in-law's waist.

"Don't think about coming back with steamed buns, our family can't afford to lose this person. I don't have to make people think that they have to bring it back when they are full, since the Shen family takes a fancy to you, you can work hard, and I can eat enough at home. Don't worry about it, even if you bring the steamed buns back, it will only enter the stomachs of the two families in front of you. As soon as Hu Youqing came back, he was already searched by the sons of his two elder brothers, and he didn't find anything before he ran away scolding.

"I know that my daughter-in-law loves me, and I listen to you. I'm not stupid, the eldest brother and the second brother have saved a lot of private houses over the years, let's live a good life, turn around, have a baby, save money, let's go to the foot of the mountain and do a yard like the Shen family, the fence is high. ”

Hu Youqing's daughter-in-law was coaxed into laughing, "Just what you want to ......"

As he spoke, the bed creaked open......

Just like Hu Youqing's family, after more than a dozen helpers went home, they were all amazed by the Shen family's food, and for a while, the Shen family became the most talked about topic among the villagers in Taohuazhuang.

At this time, the Shen family was finishing eating, washing and scrubbing, and they were as busy as daytime.

Old man Ning, who was standing in the yard for a walk, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Ouch, my family's Nanxing is still hungry!" Look at me old and confused, I just remember that there was something I didn't do, but I didn't expect that there really was! ”

Shen Tuantuan silently gave Ning Nanxing a wax in his heart. It's so pitiful, sick, and his grandfather has forgotten to feed him.

Old man Ning hurriedly took the gnocchi that had been hot in the pot from Shen Tuantuan's hand, and hurried home, "Grandpa Ning, be careful with your feet, it's all black." ”

"I know that I can touch the path of this vegetable garden even with my eyes closed. I'll wash this jar and send it back to you. Old man Ning shouted without looking back.

Ning Nanxing listened to the faint voices of Shen Tuantuan and his grandfather outside in the room, because it was too far away, he couldn't really hear it.

Ning Nanxing finally put his mind at ease, originally his heart was mentioned in his throat, for fear that Shen Tuantuan would deliberately avoid him because of his confession. As long as Shen Tuantuan still talks to his grandfather, Ning Nanxing is not afraid that Shen Tuantuan will ignore him.

Old man Ning hurriedly pushed open the door, saw Ning Nanxing looking at the top of the bed with his eyes open, and sneered and put the jar on the low table next to the bed, "Nanxing, are you hungry?" ”

Ning Nanxing didn't speak, and looked at the jar.

"Oh, this is a gnocchi made by Tuan Tuan, but it's fresh, and I don't know what Tuan Tuan added, it's even fresher than what we ate in the restaurant outside." Old man Ning said and swallowed again.

Ning Nanxing glanced at Old Man Ning, "What's the matter, grandfather hasn't eaten enough?" The Shen family didn't let their grandfather eat enough? Because of Old Man Ning's negligence, Ning Nanxing has not drunk water or eaten for most of the day, and his voice is hoarse.

Old man Ning hurriedly shook his head, "You wait for me, I'll give you the bowl." ”

As he spoke, Old Man Ning got up and beat the old arm and legs, "Ouch, I've done a crime, and I still have to serve the younger ...... when I'm old."

By the time Old Man Ning came back, Ning Nanxing had already sat up. Old Man Ning asked meaningfully, "Why did you sit up?" ”

"If you don't sit up, will you let a person who is half buried in the loess man feed me?"

Listening to Ning Nanxing's words that blocked his mouth, Old Man Ning blushed happily, "You kid is interesting!" ”

Ning Nanxing scooped the gnocchi into his mouth, the old man Ning sat on the edge of the bed so happily, Ning Nanxing ate half a bowl in one go to relieve some hunger, "Grandfather is still in trouble?" ”

Old man Ning shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

"Then can you not stare at me to eat, I look at your old face full of wrinkles, I won't be able to eat." Ning Nanxing suggested very seriously.

Old man Ning was even more desperate, and he reached out to take the bowl in Ning Nanxing's hand, "That's just right, I'm just recovering from a serious illness, so it's not suitable to eat too much." You're a doctor yourself, so you know I'm not telling you, right? ”

Ning Nanxing slept groggily for a whole day, and was ignored by Old Man Ning for another day, and then the fever subsided, only to feel weak limbs and empty stomach.

Reluctantly ate half a bowl of gnocchi, and felt a little full in his stomach, if Old Man Ning didn't give him any more food, how could Ning Nanxing respond!

"Grandfather, grandson is wrong."

Xu felt Ning Nanxing's sincerity, and Old Man Ning didn't come to rob it, but just hummed and chirped to express his dissatisfaction. "Hmph, it's a big deal that the gnocchi soup bowl is poured, and it is also poured on your bed, anyway, I don't want to change the bedding for you, so you can sleep well with this gnocchi soup by yourself, maybe you can dream that you are eating gnocchi again......"

Ning Nanxing knew that he was weak, and he also let Old Man Ning have broken thoughts.

That night, Ning Nanxing really had a gnocchi dream, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he woke up......

On the second day, when Old Man Ning was delivering medicine to Ning Nanxing, he saw Ning Nanxing lying weakly, and his eyes widened in surprise, "What did you do last night?" Why is the fever subsided, and the spirit is not good? ”

Old man Ning touched Ning Nanxing's forehead, checked Ning Nanxing's pulse again, and made sure that he was fine, as long as he raised it for a few days.

Ning Nanxing rolled his eyes angrily, "It's not to blame my grandfather, I just dreamed about the gnocchi and gnocchi in my ear all night last night, and I dreamed of gnocchi all night, and I couldn't wake up even if I wanted to." ”
