Second Aunt Mei turned her face to Second Uncle Mei and smiled, "This kid ...... Go ahead and remember what your mother taught you! I'll come back after speaking, and your grandmother will be back soon. ”

Yin Di responded, turned her head and pushed the door open and walked towards the hall.

Mei Qu sat alone in the hall, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on her second brother's legs, one shoe that could not be dropped hung on her thumb and shook around, closing her eyes and holding a small song.

"Uncle." Mei Yindi shouted affectionately, opened the curtain and entered the hall.

Mei Qu raised her eyelids, saw that it was Mei Yindi, and continued to rub her feet with her second brother's legs, and said lukewarmly. In his eyes, the second family of the Mei family is all dirt buns who have never studied, and the eldest niece Mei Yindi is not outstanding in appearance, a country girl, and there is nothing to say.

"Uncle, why did you come back today?" Mei Yindi asked with a smile on her face.

Mei Qu has always been impatient to take care of the children at home, "What are you doing with so many children?" ”

Mei Yindi trembled in her heart, Mei Qu initiated a fight with the milk, and had the courage to move a pestle to sit next to Mei Qu, and said softly: "Uncle, you don't stay at home during this time, you don't know anything about what happened at home." ”

"What's the matter?" Mei Qu squinted and asked, what really happened, can the Mao family not tell him.

"Sister Qiu, do you know about it?" Mei Yindi said mysteriously, "After the New Year, I sent her to work in the city to earn money, but after a day's work, Lu Ya sent her back again, and she didn't earn a penny!" ”

Mei Qu's original casual face gradually became solemn, her feet were no longer shaking, her song was no longer happy, and her legs were also resting, "What's the matter?" Mei Qu asked.

Yin Di swallowed and foamed, carefully recalled what her mother taught her, and spread her hands and said: "Who knows what's going on, ask her and don't say it, it's definitely not a shining thing!" Uncle, you give a comment, our family is so nervous, she still wants to eat and eat at home, and she doesn't want to do things for her father at once, our family owes a lot of debt! Do you know what all the people out there say? All said that she had two uncles, and the uncle would become a big official in the future, relying on the two uncles, she would not worry about not being able to repay her debts. ”

Mei Qu's face was a little ugly at this time, but she didn't say anything.

Yindi's heart was pounding, and all the words she was afraid of had a war sound, but fortunately, Meiqu was thinking about things in her heart, and she didn't care about Yindi's abnormality. Mei Yindi desperately thought about what was missing from Aunt Mei's words to her, and then said to Mei Qu: "Two days ago, all the people who asked for debts were scolded to the door of the house, scolding our family for not paying back, my grandmother was all about to die, and the uncle and mother were still clamoring for not Sister Qiu to go to work. A few days ago, my father also went to the town to look for the Rong family, and the Rong family didn't recognize our relatives at all, and the head of their family also said that Grandpa Shan was looking for a marriage event for their young master! ”

Mei Qu's face was gloomy and he could pour out the water, he remembered clearly, when he did the funeral affairs for his eldest brother in December last year, the Rong family sent a bunch of money, and Mao's angrily blew up the cannon battle, and ran to the door of the Rong family in the town to scold the street. At that time, Mao's plan was to wait for the first month to sell Sister Qiu to repay the debt, and then the eldest sister-in-law cried so much that she wanted to find the village chief and marry the aunt of Liulou Village, so she didn't sell Sister Qiu and sent her to work instead.

Mei Yindi searched her intestines and scraped her stomach for a while, and she finished saying all the words that her mother told her, and she didn't miss anything, seeing that Mei Qu turned her head and didn't say anything, she didn't dare to say anything more, and the rest depends on what the uncle thinks.

At this time, Mao's footsteps came from the door, and he walked to the direction of the hall, Mei Yindi stood up in fright, if Mao found out that she was a girl who ran to the hall, he might not scold her.

However, Mao didn't go straight to the hall, turned into the small kitchen halfway, put the meat he bought back in the small kitchen, and went to the east house again. Where's it almost noon? ”

Sister Qiu raised her eyes, listened to Mao's tone a little unkind, and hurriedly said: "Milk, my mother followed my father to the ground early in the morning, and my father said that the cauliflower was cooked, and if you don't cut it back, it will be fried in the ground." ”

Mao turned his head to look at the dark and gloomy sky, and was not very happy, "This is heavenly, it is raining at this moment, and all the rapeseed is very underharvested!" Seeing that Jia's was going to work in the field, she didn't want to say anything, so she said to Sister Qiu: "You come to the small kitchen to light the fire." After speaking, he went out into the small kitchen first.

Sister Qiu picked up a few handfuls of straw mushrooms and followed them into the small kitchen, preparing to make a mushroom soup.

Taking advantage of Mao's speech in the east room, Mei Yindi hurriedly ran out of the hall on tiptoe, and she didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and hid in the west room, for fear that Mao would turn her face back and look at her.

It rained for a few days in a row, and the vegetables in the yard were not very good, Mao's pinched the garlic stalks and a few spicy seeds, the garlic stalks were a little old, Mao thought about it, and pulled out half a bamboo basket of green vegetables, and called Sister Qiu to come over, and asked Sister Qiu to take it to the well to wash vegetables.

Sister Qiu entered the small kitchen and saw that there was a piece of meat on the board, a thin piece of meat, more fat and less lean meat, and the most was only three taels, obviously not for the Mei family to eat, it must be prepared for Meiqu alone, and the entire Mei family also had this kind of treatment in Meiqu, that is, the big cow and the second cow, so that the Mao family had never bought meat for them to eat for a long time.

When Sister Qiu was washing vegetables, Mei Laosuo and Jia chose a load of cut cauliflower and came back, and their feet were full of mud on their feet.

"Why do you collect cauliflower in this effort? It's also hard to walk in the fields. Mao came out of the small kitchen and asked, seeing that the feet of the two were full of thick mud, and hurriedly asked Sister Qiu to fetch water to wash the feet of the two.

Mei Laosuo is a stewed gourd, and he preached for a long time: "If you don't cut it, you can't do it, today's cut is finished." ”

Mao was still carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, walked to the front of the burden and pulled the cut cauliflower to take a look, and it was really very cracked, and suddenly his face was gloomy, and he went back to the small kitchen.

Mei Qu listened to the sound in the hall, walked out, and looked at Jia Shi and Mei Laosu with his back hand, their feet seemed to be two big mud mounds, and they turned their faces away in disgust for a moment.

"His uncle is back!" Jia hurriedly greeted.

Mei Qu "en" and went back to the hall.

Mei Laosu glanced at his son, but he didn't say anything, he didn't talk much, and he had nothing to say to this son who had read. With the water that Sister Qiu fetched, Mei Laosu took off her shoes and washed her feet. Jia also wanted to take off his shoes and flush his feet with deep well water, which blocked Sister Qiu and asked her to wait in the East House.

Sister Qiu went to the east house and brought a basin to the small kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and filled the pot with the hot water that the village chief was boiling. Mao was cutting meat, watching Sister Qiu scooping water, staring and asking, "What are you doing?" ”

"Scoop water." Sister Qiu preached.

Mao chopped a kitchen knife onto the board, pointed at Sister Qiu and said angrily: "I naturally know that you are scooping water, what are you doing scooping water?" "This dead girl is becoming more and more disobedient, and she is a demon all day long.

"Wash my mother's feet." Sister Qiu preached unhurriedly.

Mao Shiheng was sour, pointed at Sister Qiu with a kitchen knife, and said, "How rich is your mother?" You need hot water to flush all your feet, Lao Mei's family can't afford to raise such a precious daughter-in-law! ”

Sister Qiu blinked while holding the basin, and the frightened sound was all accompanied by crying, "Milk, why don't I pour the water back?" ”

Mao was completely angry, this stinky girl was stupid and confused, and all the water was scooped into the footbasin, how could she pour it back into the pot? How do you use this pot to cook rice when you pour it back? "!" Mao's angry pick-up, and when Sister Qiu came out of the small kitchen with the basin, Mao shouted again: "Hurry up and come over and burn the pot!" ”

"Eh, yes, milk!" Sister Qiu replied loudly, carried the basin into the east room, and rested it at Jia's feet. "Mother, wash your feet."

Jia Shi wiped his eyes, "You kid, what are you doing with this?" I'll use the deep well water to flush my feet, and use the hot water to scold your milk......"

Sister Qiu smiled and said softly: "She will also scold a few words, as if she is a grass pig Hengheng, you can not hear it." ”

What others don't know, but Sister Qiu, who sleeps in a nest with Jia's every night, is clear, Jia's little day is coming, tired all morning, where can you use the cold deep well water to wash your feet.

When Sister Qiu finished washing the dishes and brought them into the small kitchen, Mao's was just beside her, and there was only a piece of fine noodles the size of Mao's fist in the stoneware pot, and it was estimated that only three pancakes could be baked, which should also be for Meiqu to eat.

Mao finished rubbing the fine noodles, buckled a bowl on the clay pot, and asked the noodles to wake up, and then went to the West House to fill a large pot of millet noodles, brought them into the small kitchen, and shouted to the East Room with a loud voice: "Eldest daughter-in-law? Eldest daughter-in-law! What are you grinding, hurry up and come and meet! ”

Jia Shi hurriedly "eh", trotted out to fetch deep well water to wash his hands, and then went into the small kitchen to rub millet noodles.

Mao shouted to the hall again: "Father, take out the grass and lard in the basket, the old man has gone home, and our family will have a good meal at lunchtime!" ”

Sister Qiu, who burned the fire, really couldn't bear it, lowered her head and crooked her mouth, the fine noodles and pancakes were good, only a few people, it was estimated that it was not enough for Meiqu to eat alone, she and Jia's estimate could only eat a little grass lard fried vegetables, which still stuck to Meiqu's light, otherwise even grass lard would not be able to eat.

Mao's voice was loud, and Aunt Mei, who overheard the sound outside in the west room, "ho", spit out to the ground, and smacked to Uncle Mei: "Look, let's eat grass and lard to see the old man's face!" Our two sons, ten acres of land, are provided with these people who are allowed to eat white rice, and they can't even eat grass lard! In the entire Xiaohe Town, your old Mei family is the worst! It is Mrs. Zhong's house, and last time I saw that there were flowers and melon seeds in their hall for entertaining guests, all of which were plated and plated. ”
