Chapter 15: Delicious Pancakes
"What do you think of Yindi?" Aunt Chunhua asked.
Lin Zhun was a little surprised, "What can I think of her?" I didn't know each other well, and I didn't say a few words. "Mother shouldn't have moved her mind and wanted to tell him Yindi, but no!
"She is just the same age as you, and she is a neighbor of our family, she knows the roots, if you have any thoughts, tell your mother." Aunt Chunhua preached with her heart.
Lin Zhun shook his hand one after another, only to open his mouth and see that the door was open, and it was not good to talk about other people's ladies behind his back, and it would be even more embarrassing if he heard the ups and downs of the village, so he simply walked to his mother's side and whispered: "I don't have any thoughts, I can't think of anything about her because she is just the same age as me!" ”
Aunt Chunhua laughed, nodded and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, this daughter-in-law is the most important thing, and you can pick a bright eye and be meticulous, if you pick someone who is not graceful and doesn't know the reason, you will be angry in this life, and your life will not be good." ”
Lin Zhun flashed in his mind, in the afternoon, he talked with Sister Qiu all the way and walked back, Sister Qiu's smile in the sunset, my mother was right, marrying a daughter-in-law and a child would marry a hard-working person, Sister Qiu knew how to take care of the old Xiucai uncle and mother, and also knew how to cut pigs and eat grass, Yin Di was two years older than her, but it was far worse than Sister Qiu.
Eh, it's weird, Lin Zhun blushed, he didn't have any thoughts about Sister Qiu, the right to think that Sister Qiu is the younger sister, all blame the words that his mother said at noon, and now when he mentions his daughter-in-law, he can't help but think about Sister Qiu, and now he feels a little awkward when he sees Sister Qiu.
"Mother, I'm going to feed the grass pigs!" Lin Zhun ran away to cut the pig and eat grass, avoiding Aunt Chunhua, who was chattering about his physiology.
On the Mei family's side, not long after Sister Qiu arrived home, Jia came back with an iron plowshare, and when Mao saw her coming back, he didn't ask how the grass grew in the ground, but he said in a salty and non-light manner: "When I come back, I will hurry up and cook rice, and grind until I come back that night!" ”
Jia Shi hurriedly "eh", then washed the palm of the sticky yellow mud in the basin by the well, and patted the dust on his arms and legs.
Mao's saw that Jia's was very obedient, and his heart was also smoothed in two, and he saw the west side room, and he still didn't move, and his heart was angry.
"Yindi! Yindi! Mao shouted at the top of his voice, and the spit Xingzi flew out far away, "What are you doing in the big daughter's nest?" Raise a lazy muscle, hurry up and come out to burn the pot! ”
Yindi listened to the cry of milk in the house, no matter how reluctant she was, she didn't dare to pretend not to listen to Mao's words, so she hurriedly responded, opened the gauze curtain and came out and took a bundle of bud rice poles from the wheat straw stack into the small kitchen.
Jia's original mind wanted to say, "You don't have to help", but before the words came out, the whispering words that the girl told her at noon flashed in her mind, the second family of the Mei family is used to it, Sister Qiu goes out to work like this, Mei Yindi can't do work? Sister Qiu is still the daughter of the old Xiucai, looking at Mei Yindi, who was pouting and hanging her eyes full of dissatisfaction, Jia Shi entered the small kitchen without saying anything.
Sister Qiu saw Mao coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Milk, where is the clothes I took off at noon?" "The hall houses the Mei family's food and household needs, and the inner room is the grandmother's bedroom.
Mao tilted his mouth unnaturally, glanced at Sister Qiu, and said, "What clothes?" What did you take off your clothes and ask me what I was doing? ”
Sister Qiu was completely stunned, "Milk, you said you wanted me to ......" It won't be what she thinks, it's too shameless, a blindfolded granddaughter who is a milk can only wear clothes to meet people when she goes out!
"What do I say? What did I say? Mao's anger was frustrated, and she took a few steps closer to Sister Qiu, and the spittle star flew out of her mouth full of yellow teeth, and Sister Qiu hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, for fear that the spittle star would spray on her face.
Jia, who had already entered the small kitchen, ran out in three steps and a few steps, hugged Sister Qiu, blocked in front of Sister Qiu, and smiled at Mao, "Mother, Sister Qiu is young, I don't understand things, turn your face and scold her, you extinguish the fire, don't be like a child." ”
Is it his own fault, Mao's dark and thin face is slightly red, and he scolded fiercely, "Don't hurry up and cook!" I will save some oil for me, don't start with a heavy one. When he had finished speaking, he turned his head and hurried back to the hall.
Jia Shi let go of Sister Qiu in his arms and asked softly, "Why are you provoking your milk again?" ”
Sister Qiu smiled bitterly in her heart, pointed to the clothes on her body and said: "Grandma asked me to take off that clothes and wash them, and changed my aunt's clothes when she was a child. ”
Jia Shi looked at Sister Qiu's torn clothes full of patches and patches in a daze, whether she started at this good dress, took it away, and saved her from thinking about it all day and night, looking for things.
Yindi's unhappy voice came from the small kitchen, "Uncle and mother, are you still cooking this meal?" He muttered neither high nor low: "Wearing a good dress will be like that, you should live!" ”
Sao is also the local dialect of Xiaohe Town, not to scold women for not abiding by women's morals, but to describe a person who is very high-profile and shows off.
Jia Shi frowned, this Yin Di was young and Mao's mouth did not have a door, patted Sister Qiu's shoulder, regarded it as relief, turned his head and entered the small kitchen.
Sister Qiu originally wanted to stab Mei Yindi for a few words, but then she thought about being lazy to ignore her, she was such a harsh and harsh person, and arguing with her was really self-defeating.
Jia's arms and legs are nimble, and cooking rice is also fast, first pinch the millet wowo on the big pot and steam it in the steaming drawer, and then cut the cabbage vermicelli and fry it in a small pot, wait for the steaming of the wowo, pick up the wowo into the bamboo basket, and start to boil the water to cook the millet rice porridge. Sister Qiu didn't even have an hour, and the meal was already served.
The rice porridge was served in a bowl, and the cabbage vermicelli was also filled with an iron basin and rested in the middle of the wooden table. Mao's bamboo basket took the bamboo basket to himself, and when all the people of the Mei family sat down in front of the wooden table, Mao began to distribute the nest, and when it was Sister Qiu's turn, it happened to be the smallest nest, which was made by Jia's nest to the final remaining bit of noodles, only a quarter of the size of the usual nest.
Jia hesitated, and looked at how many nests there were in the bamboo basket, which was expected to be enough for Sister Qiu to eat the second one, so she didn't say a word.
Sister Qiu looked at Mao's face, and only silently took the wowo handed over by Mao, the thin noodles and soup noodles she ate for lunch, she was already hungry, and she couldn't care about it so much.
The millet and rice porridge can be seen in the back, the cabbage noodles have no oil and water, and although the big cow and the two cows are stinky and unhappy, they are not as noisy as they were at noon. Jia's palm is good, the steamed nest is soft and transparent, Uncle Mei eats the fastest, three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls of a nest and then went down, stretched out his palm and took the second one, very quickly the big cow also finished eating the nest in his hand, and took the second one to eat.
The small nest in Sister Qiu's hand was almost gnawed, and when she thought about it, she stretched out her palm into the bamboo basket and prepared to take the second nest to eat.
"Poof!" There was a sound, accompanied by Sister Qiu's screams.
Mao's wooden chopsticks hit the back of Sister Qiu's palm hard, and in an instant, there were two red marks on the back of Sister Qiu's palm.
"What are you doing!" Mao's eyes were as wide as cowbells, eating and scolding loudly, his expression was very hideous and terrifying, and he held wooden chopsticks and lit Sister Qiu's head in the air, "Eat!" You know how to eat! A cheeky dog who eats white food! ”
Da Niu was the first to react, and with a whining and a grin, he pointed at Sister Qiu and said with a smile: "It's delicious, break your legs!" Erniu also smiled at Sister Qiu and scolded him. Mei Yindi said to the two younger brothers with meaning: "Look, we can't learn from her, it's not expensive!" ”
The second uncle and the second aunt lowered their heads and didn't say a word, but they couldn't suppress the corners of their mouths that rose up.
Jia's hugged Sister Qiu and cried silently, she still held half of the uneaten nest in her hand, and stuffed it into Sister Qiu's hand under the wooden table, leaning on Jia's original temperament, Mao's was angry, she was determined to lower her eyebrows and be careful, but today is really too wrong, Sister Qiu only came back on the first day, don't eat a nest and don't eat enough, isn't this forcing them to kiss a few on the desperate road, Lao Xiu has died for less than two months!
Sister Qiu held back her anger, she had only been here for a day, and she felt as if it had been a year, with a wooden face and a low head, listening to Mao's high-pitched and sharp scolding, and Jia's depressed sobbing in her ears. She knew in her heart that if she didn't want Mao's anger to finish, she wouldn't have to think about eating at Mei's house in the future.
"Crying? Are you too embarrassed to cry? Mao's fire turned to Jia's, and the wooden chopsticks slammed on the mottled tabletop, "She is like this, didn't you teach her?" My old Mei's family has blood mold! Those who eat me eat me will come to me and ask for things, and lose their conscience! Don't think about it, you have to go quickly, my old Mei family won't keep you! ”
Jia Shi raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, bowed his head and said, "Mother, I am not that ordinary person. ”
Seeing that Jia's was soft, Mao's heart was very happy, and he felt that his childhood beating was effective, so he lowered his mouth and said crookedly: "I'm old, and my heart is still very bright!" If you are not afraid of death, you will go to purgatory and cut the little ghost in two, so you can do whatever you want, our old Mei family will not keep you! ”
Mao's mouth was cold and refreshing, but a pair of shrewd eyes looked at Jia fiercely, not missing any of her moves.
"Mother, the children are all here." Jia Shi held back tears and said softly, "I still have Sister Qiu......" is for Sister Qiu, and she will not leave her only blood and blood to remarry. Let's talk about it again, Sister Qiu is also older, Mao is a bastard, her speech is vulgar and not exquisite, and it is not too bad to say these things in front of children.
