Sister Qiu didn't listen to the scolding of the milk, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart if she didn't scold Mao's for a few words, and scolding people was as important as eating for Mao's, as long as Jia's heart was uncomfortable, she was comfortable in her heart, all in all, Sister Qiu's milk was an unreasonable old lady, and there were some psychopaths. For this kind of old lady, you have to bear it, or you don't want to get out, and don't hope that you can exchange ideas with her.

The second family who hid in the west side room during the cooking came out, sat at the dining table in the hall and waited for dinner, and the big cow and the second cow who had been playing crazy outside for a long time also came back. There was already a bowl of sweet sauce on the table, as well as the green onions and garlic sprouts that Jia had cut first, leaving the noodles to eat.

The rice was made by the Jia family, but the rice was served by the Mao family. This is not because Mao sympathizes with her daughter-in-law's hard work in cooking and has to share some work, but because she can distribute everyone's food when she serves the rice. Mao first fished two large porcelain bowls of noodles for the second child and Lao Meitou, and when the noodles were piled up in the bowl, he added a spoonful of soup with cabbage into it, and the noodles were more and less soup. Although the bowl for the big cow and the second cow is small, the noodles in it are also real, even for her own and Aunt Mei'er, there are also a lot of noodles.

It was Mei Yindi's turn to follow Sister Qiu's Jia's family, and Mao's took an iron gourd scoop and put it in the bowl at random. I fished noodles for so many people in front of me, and the rest was obviously more soup and less noodles.

Sister Qiu didn't care about this, took the bowl and sat down to eat, she hadn't eaten since last night, and she was so hungry that her chest was now close to her back. To be honest, Jia's palm skills in rolling noodles are good, but the palm skills of the lower noodles are not good, in the final analysis, the conditions of the Mei family are not good, there is not even an oil star in the noodle soup, the noodles are coarse, and the cabbage is also boiled, where can it be delicious?

She thought about the noodles she had come home from work in her previous life, first using cabbage in a boiling pot, then red eggs and noodles, the noodles pressed out by the machine were obviously not as delicious as hand-rolled noodles, but as long as the heat was suppressed, the whole hut was full of the fragrance of red eggs and boiled pots, and the noodle soup was both nutritious and delicious. Naturally, she didn't dare to say in front of Mao that she would eat boil pot noodles, and the pot would use oil and red eggs, which poked Mao's death hole.

"Why are these thin noodles again? I don't eat! The big cow said viciously, lost the wooden chopsticks in his hand on the wooden table, and the second cow on the side saw that the eldest brother took the lead, and immediately followed the example, and also lost the wooden chopsticks, dragging his nose and muttering: "I want to eat fine noodles and dry food, I want to eat meat!" ”

The second aunt hurriedly put down the dishes and said, "Where is the fine noodles and dry food meat for you to eat?" If you don't eat, you'll be hungry! ”

Sister Qiu bowed her head and didn't say a word, when her talented father was still there, she could go to the town every month to get twenty catties of fine noodles, the Mei family cooked two kinds of rice, and the steamed buns of fine noodles were all eaten by the big cow and the second cow.

Erniu cried, "You are a man, you all ate fine noodles and dry food before!" ”

"Phew! Remember! The second aunt smacked her lips, and looked at Jia Shi and Sister Qiu, who were eating with their heads down, with the corners of her eyebrows hanging from her eyebrows, "Your uncle is gone, and our family will have no fine noodles and dry food for you to eat, and there will be no more in the future, so just eat this, and in a few days, the debtor will come to the door, but I am afraid that I won't even be able to eat all the thin noodles!" ”

Erniu is still young, he was a little stupid at first, and he didn't quite understand what Wei meant, but Da Niu was almost as big as Sister Qiu, so he immediately understood what Wei meant, pointed at Sister Qiu and shouted: "Sell her, pay off the debt, and give me the rest of the money to exchange for fine noodles and dry food to eat!" ”

As soon as the words that were still full of children's voices came out, there was silence at the dinner table, Jia's body trembled, the wooden chopsticks fell from her hands and she didn't know anything, she was desperate, and the second family still had the idea of selling Sister Qiu to pay off the debt.

Second Aunt Mei and Second Uncle Mei glanced at each other, and laughed without moving, it was inappropriate for the two of them to mention this, but it didn't matter if Da Niu said it, Mao's most painful grandson, and then talk about it, children and children are unscrupulous, what are they afraid of.

Sister Qiu unhurriedly bent down and picked up the wooden chopsticks that Jia Shi had dropped under the wooden table, wiped them clean with the linen cloth covering the sweet sauce bowl on the table, and rested them on Jia's bowl, and said with a smile: "Mother, it is a good thing that the wooden chopsticks fell to the ground, indicating that someone wants to invite you!" ”

Seeing that Sister Qiu ignored her, Da Niu was annoyed for a moment, and shouted at Sister Chongqiu with a wide eyebrow: "I said that I sold you and paid off the debt owed by your father!" "Although he is young, he listens to his sister's calculations with his father and mother every day, and he learns a lot of crooked principles. It wasn't his father who died! The uncle is dead, and he has no son, he is the eldest grandson of the Mei family, and all the Mei family's property is his!

"Who told you that if you want to sell it, I can pay off my debts, and I can also exchange it for fine noodles and dry food for you?" Sister Qiu asked.

Da Niu glanced at Aunt Mei'er with a thought, "It's my ......"

Before he finished speaking, he blocked Aunt Mei'er, and said, "What nonsense!" Who told you? ”

Before the big cow finished speaking, he gave his mother a murderous beating, and he couldn't do it, so he pulled a face and sat there, kicking the wooden table legs angrily, and the noodle soup in the bowl on the wooden table shook and shook.

"My father is gone, and my mother is here." Sister Qiu said, "My mother didn't say that she wanted to sell me, what is the big cow anxious about?" When it spread, everyone said that the big cow was shrewd, and all of them would sell their sisters to make money! Besides, my father is not far from buried, maybe he is homesick at this time, so he stands at home and watches us eat! Is it yes, milk, second uncle and second aunt? ”

The big cow looked around, the small eyes shrank in an instant, and the second cow also shrank back, as if there was a real ghost swaying around him, and he didn't even think that the nose was dripping to his lips.

Mao, who has always been silent, only then did he raise his eyelids and said, "What nonsense! Eat your hanging noodles and go! "She is also conflicted about how to deal with Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu is now shrewd, and whenever something happens, she mentions her dead father, and she forcibly sells Sister Qiu to poke the back of the villagers, not to mention that Sister Qiu is also engaged to the Rong family, and the Rong family is a rich family.

But if you don't sell Sister Qiu, the family is burdened with debts, the second family is obviously not willing to bear this debt, the eldest child also pays off the study, the boss did not take the exam at first, it is because of worrying about the things at home, to be involved, now her expectations are all on the family, must be the old man to study seriously, must not let the family's mundane affairs divide the heart of the old man to study, repeat the mistakes of the boss, but the Rong family now does not recognize the meaning of this family.

Forget it, forget it, let's finish this period first, stay in the summer, see how the wheat harvest is, if the current harvest is not good, no matter what the eldest daughter-in-law wants, for the future of the two grandchildren and the old man, say anything to sell Sister Qiu, even if the future boss is an official in the examination, and then redeem Sister Qiu, it is nothing more than a girl, arrange for her to arrange a marriage event, give more dowry, it is also the right boss to die early.

Where would Sister Qiu know Mao's calculations, and she can't blame her for taking this regard lightly, she is a person from the 21st century, where would she think that her own father is dead, and her own grandmother has always had the idea of selling her own son!

Mao's got angry, Da Niu and Er Niu didn't dare to make trouble anymore, the family finished eating, Jia picked up the bowls and pans, and Sister Qiu helped her to the small kitchen.

Sister Qiu wanted to help Jia's brush the dishes, and pushed Jia's aside, not wanting her to stick to her hands. Mao's didn't answer Aunt Mei's voice today, Jia's heart was very happy, she felt that her mother-in-law still had Sister Qiu in her heart, and she didn't want to sell Sister Qiu after living a hard life.

This work has just started spring, there is no work in the field, after eating, mixed with bran with brush pot water and fed the grass pig, Sister Qiu and Jia went back to their own house, Jia took pity on Sister Qiu was tired, shook off the quilt and asked Sister Qiu to get into it for a nap, sat by the kang and watched her daughter sleep, took half of the soles of her shoes and continued to accept.

The quilt is printed with red double happiness, when it is used for a long time, it is dismantled and washed and faded, and the original color is almost invisible, Sister Qiu estimates that this face is still the face when Jia Shi and Mei Liang got married, the cotton wool inside has been used for many years, and it is no longer soft and warm, Sister Qiu shivered when she took off her clothes and got in, and pinched it with her hands, and the cotton in the quilt was all knotted into a hard ball.

The quilt has to be dismantled every two years to keep it warm and soft, Sister Qiu sighed in her heart, it is a pity that her family is really poor, and playing cotton is also a luxury. The bottom of the kang is spread with a layer of mattress, and the bottom of the mattress is wheat straw, which plays a role in keeping warm, and it is too cold in winter, only a kang mattress is very difficult.

Looking at Jia, who was holding the soles of her shoes and couldn't stop working for a moment, Sister Qiu thought about her mother in her previous life.

In her previous life, she was also a girl from the countryside, it is said that the grandfather used to be the chef of a famous restaurant in the imperial capital, and made a good dish, and later because she married a rich lady, she was beaten into a * capital * faction, and died not long after, and the grandfather also stayed in the countryside because of the grandfather's reasons, and since then he has taken root in the countryside and has not returned to the city.

And her father is a very financially minded person, when Sister Qiu was very young, he used the secret recipe left by the grandfather to make water tofu, riding an Erqi old-fashioned bicycle, sitting in front of Sister Qiu, and carrying water tofu in the back, to sell in various villages. Their water tofu is well made, the price is fair, and it sells very quickly.

Sister Qiu's family gradually made a fortune by making water tofu, and before primary school was finished, the family saved enough money to move from the countryside to the city. Her father was not satisfied, and continued to carry forward the idea of water tofu, from riding a bicycle along the street to selling water tofu, to opening a water tofu workshop, and then to a bean food factory.

Gradually, Sister Qiu's bean food has become a well-known brand in several provinces, and the idea is getting bigger and bigger. She followed her father to make and sell water tofu from the beginning of her memory, and she left home when she went to college, and she has always participated in all the ideas of water tofu in the family.

But what Sister Qiu never expected in her previous life was that the person who hurt her the most was her most beloved family.

After graduating from high school, she stayed at the family's soybean food company to work, and when her younger brother got married, she suddenly found that her mother's attitude towards her had changed. The year she graduated, she wanted to go to the family company to help, and she was familiar with it, but her mother clearly told her that the family's property belonged to her younger brother, so that she had the appearance of a sister, and she should not think about competing with her younger brother for family property, and her younger brother's daughter-in-law would also be unhappy.

When she went home again, her mother was not very enthusiastic about her, and always urged her to go back to school quickly, and took good care of her brother and daughter-in-law, who was pregnant, and she was afraid that she would surprise the baby in her belly when she walked every step. Most of the girls in the countryside went out to work before they finished primary school, and her family was poor when she was a child, and she was not forced to drop out of school!

Sister Qiu's heart is cold and transparent, she is not a spineless person, she has arms and legs, and the school she studied in is not bad, so she can't live anywhere. However, it was her relatives' vigilance and betrayal of her, and the emotional wounds caused by such deep injuries could not be healed, and she never returned home since she found a job.

On the evening of the day when she came here, she worked for a very long time, and she was full of fatigue when she got home, and at this moment Dad's phone came, Dad's voice was as mellow and friendly as ever, and after saying a few words, Dad said hesitantly: "Sister Qiu, don't you go home for the New Year?" ”

She smiled and said, "If you don't go back, it's not easy to buy a train ticket." ”

Daddy also smiled, "I'll buy you a car, don't you have a driver's license, and it's convenient to go home backwards." ”

The tails of her eyes were a little wet, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it, Mom will be unhappy." My salary is enough for me to spend, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Don't think too much about it, this car is considered a dowry given to you by your father, and you are not too young, if you have a suitable male baby, you will settle down, and take it home to your parents to take a look." "You haven't been home in years, your mother," said my father...... I miss you very much, and she regrets it. ”

For a moment, Sister Qiu wanted to lose the phone in her hand and was angry, and wanted to yell at her father on the other side of the phone, don't lie to me! She only has her son and her grandson in her eyes, she doesn't care if I live or die, she only cares if I have the money for her son in the family!

The most important thing is that Sister Zhongqiu didn't do anything, and said to the phone: "Dad, I deducted the phone, and I worked extra for a few days in a row, I was very tired, so I slept first." Before going to bed, she thought about how happy the family was when they first started making water tofu in the countryside.

This sleep, I slept in this strange space.
