After eating at noon, Aunt Mei couldn't sit still at home, so she went out to find someone to chatter, I heard that Sister Qiu took the sauce back, and there were many of them, and the sauce was better than the meat after it was hot. She swallowed saliva in her mouth, her heart was sour, and she scolded the little girl for giving good food to irrelevant people, and she didn't take back any filial piety and filial piety to them.

Seeing that Sister Qiu came over with a bottle of boy, Aunt Mei naturally felt that she was here to deliver the sauce.

Sister Qiu dodged the palm stretched out by Aunt Mei, took half a step back, and shouted to Mao and Mei Laosuo, who had already come out of the hall: "Master, grandma, I'm here to bring you food!" ”

Mao frowned and muttered, "What are you shouting!" I'm afraid that others don't know! However, he didn't dare to say this in front of Sister Qiu.

When they came to the front, Mao thought that Aunt Mei was there to be an eyesore, and reprimanded: "What are you doing standing here when you are almost born?" Let's go back to the house and rest! If you want to work, you look like a shell, and you can run faster than all the dogs when you look at the food! Created by the Heavenly Scarlet Star Trust! ”

Second Aunt Mei pursed her lips and took a few steps back, but she didn't listen to Mao's words and went back to the house.

Mao still wanted to scold a few words, so he looked at Mei Laosuo and glanced at her, glanced at Aunt Mei hatefully, and swallowed the scolding that came to his lips.

"What is this?" Mao asked, drooping his eyelids.

Sister Qiu smiled and said: "This is the soybean sauce dried by my family this year, which is different from the previous sweet sauce, it is a new thing, give some to grandma to taste." Milk, you bring a bowl and serve it. ”

Mao crooked her mouth and didn't say anything, but when Sister Fanqiu came to deliver something, she was all reluctant and disdainful, but she never refused. Mao went to the small kitchen to get a coarse porcelain bowl, and Sister Qiu dug up a large iron spoon of sauce from the bottle boy and put it in the bowl, which was as much as half a bowl.

Seeing that Sister Qiu was about to close the bottle of the boy, Aunt Mei called out from the side, "Eh, isn't there still sauce in that bottle of boy!" "Isn't it all for them?

"I'm going to deliver sauce to another house!" Sister Qiu said with a smile, "The second aunt is pregnant with a child, but you can't eat more of this sauce!" "It's not that Sister Qiu scares Aunt Mei, the bean paste is a pickle in the end, and it is not good for pregnant women to eat too much.

"Eh, Sister Qiu, what do you don't know about our family? In addition to sweet sauce and clear porridge, what else can you eat! "Second Aunt Mei sings and does well, and she doesn't let go of the clay bottle in Sister Qiu's arms." Your second aunt's life is hard, she didn't give birth to a good family, and her mother's poor husband is also poor, and this life loss is very ......."

Mao was not happy to hear it, walked to the door of the rice stove house with the bowl, turned his face and said, "Do you think our old Mei family is poor?" Who begged you to come to my house? Get out now! I'll still find a young and beautiful uncle and lady for my boy! Also when you are ......"

The words behind were hard to hear, Sister Qiu hurriedly hugged the bottle boy and left, and after a few steps, she heard Mei Laosuo calling her from behind.

"Sister Qiu." Mei Laosu caught up and preached, glanced at Sister Qiu, and said hesitantly: "Later, let's eat at home later." ”

"No need." Sister Qiu was surprised, "I didn't tell my mother that I wouldn't go home for dinner at night, if she couldn't wait for me, she would be anxious." This is an excuse, Li Ailian is still in Xiaohe Town, if she doesn't go back and ask Li Ailian to bring a letter, Sister Qiu is not happy to eat at Mei's house.

Mei Laosuo's mouth is stupid and thin-skinned, where can I talk about Sister Qiu, who is so clever and tongue-in-cheek, I don't know what to say at the moment, and I preached for a long time: "Then you wait for a while, I want your milk to pick up something for you." He didn't dare to drag Sister Qiu to his home, so he hurriedly ran back.

After a while, Mei Laosu came back with a big porcelain bowl, handed it to Sister Qiu, and said: "You and your mother are all busy, and you can't care about pickles. ”

Sister Qiu was really surprised this time, she instinctively looked at the sky, and felt that the sun was falling from the east, Mei Laosu would actually "exchange courtesies", and the Mao family actually agreed to give them pickles, what is the situation?!

When she returned to her home in Xiaohe Town with pickles, Sister Qiu's head was still dizzy, and she felt as if she had hit the five million jackpot.

In the courtyard, Li Ailian had already begun to distribute water tofu to the people of the Qiu Ji team, and when Sister Qiu went back with the bowl, Li Ailian asked curiously, "Who gave it?" ”

Sister Qiu replied, "My grandma." ”

A successful sentence scared Li Ailian, and it took a long time before she spoke: "It's really the sun coming out of the west." When the water tofu was almost divided, Li Ailian asked: "Didn't your mother ask you to go to Liulou to deliver sauce to your aunt?" Won't you go with your brother Rong? ”

Everyone in the Qiuji team has their own area for selling water tofu, which was divided at the beginning to prevent internal seizures, and it is precisely the area of Liulou Village that is assigned to Darong.

Sister Qiu hesitated for a long time before following Darong to Laliulou, but she didn't want to go. In her opinion, Aunt Mei did not spoil them as much as Jia imagined.

After inquiring, Darong sent Sister Qiu to the door of her aunt's house.

Sister Qiu stood by the door and looked at it for a long time before knocking on the door and shouting, "Auntie, are you at home?" I'm Sister Qiu! ”

Unlike the wooden fence of the Mei family, the gate of Aunt Mei's house is an iron gate painted with red paint, although there are many holes under the iron gate, compared to the wooden doors of other houses, it is still very imposing.

The head of the room answered, and it was Aunt Jin Ning who came to open the door, and after looking at Sister Qiu, she smiled enthusiastically and said, "Eh, Sister Qiu, why are you here?" Come on, get inside! ”

Sister Qiu glanced at the courtyard with a smile, the yard is not small, a large vegetable field has been opened, there are a few big trees in the yard, in the middle of summer, the umbrella shade is like a cover. The main house is three large tiled houses, and the west side house and the east side house are also tile houses, each with three rooms.

There was green smoke wafting from the chimney of the kitchen, and several children of different ages in the courtyard were squatting there to play, and after looking at Sister Qiu, a stranger, they all stood up and looked at her with novelty.

"No, no, no." Sister Qiu excused herself and handed the bottle boy in her hand to Jin Ning's daughter-in-law

"Auntie, this is my family-made bean sauce, and I specially brought it to you to taste." I followed the people of our village back and did not go into the house to sit. ”

Jin Ning's daughter-in-law took the lawa bottle with a smile, and pulled Sister Qiu and didn't let go, "Eh, how can you just leave like this when you send it from afar?" Your third aunt and her are cooking, and they are cooking at home at night, and they want your uncle to send you home! Then he turned his face and called out to a few children in the courtyard, "Big Nier, Second Nier!" What are you doing there? This is your sister Qiu, hurry up and welcome home! ”

"I really don't have to." Sister Qiu smiled and shook her head, "I told my mother about going home for dinner, and I will come to my aunt's house with my mother another day." ”

While speaking, all the people in Aunt Mei's family came out of the house and walked to the door.

Sister Qiu only recognized Aunt Mei who was walking in front, and the rest of the young men and women must be Aunt Mei's little daughter-in-law, and she didn't recognize her alone.

"Mother, Sister Qiu is here, I specially sent you a bottle of boy sauce!" Aunt Jin Ning said with a smile, and her words were clear, "I want her to come into the house to eat, and after eating, I want Jin Ning to send her home, and she is polite!" You hurriedly persuaded this daughter, how can you ask people to leave without eating? ”

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Why did Sister Qiu come and leave?" Let's go, the meal will be ready immediately, and you can eat it later. Looking at Da Nier, the children only smiled at Sister Qiu, but they didn't move forward, and hurriedly said: "This is your Sister Qiu, the daughter of your uncle's uncle." After speaking, he sighed slightly, the two families are serious relatives, and because of Mao's reasons, they haven't moved much, and in the end, none of the children know each other.

"No, Auntie." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "I'll come back with my mother another day, my brother Rong is still waiting for me!" Auntie, I'm leaving! As she spoke, Sister Qiu took out her pocket, took out a large handful of pine nut candy, stuffed it into the hands of the girl standing in front of Aunt Mei, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring anything good, just give this sugar to the little brothers and sisters." ”

Sister Qiu doesn't like sugar, and there was no dentist in ancient times, if she eats her teeth badly, where can she find someone to extract her teeth and inlay her teeth? But she is used to putting a few in her pocket, and giving one when she touches a child, which is very good at "buying" people's hearts.

Xiao Nizi, who was standing beside Aunt Mei, was the eldest of the children, and she couldn't be happy when she looked at the sugar, so several children on her side immediately gathered around and grabbed it.

Seeing that Sister Qiu insisted on leaving, Aunt Mei didn't force her to stay, and said, "That's okay, you go back first, your mother is worried about the province." ”

When Sister Qiu walked away, Aunt Jin Ning closed the door, and the others had already dispersed to do what they should do, only Aunt Mei was still standing by the door, looking at the children who were still arguing for a few pieces of candy not far away, and sighed: "Look at this child, none of Sister Shengqiu understands things!" ”

Aunt Jin Ning lowered her head and smiled, "Mother, Da Nier, they are all still young." "Sister Qiu understands that things are good, but she doesn't look at it, other orphans and widows are so difficult, Sister Qiu is like a child who doesn't understand things, but

What to do!

When Sister Qiu arrived home, the sky was already numb.

"Why didn't you come back until now?" Jia complained, and quickly shoveled the fried scallion pancake out of the pan and served it together with the other dishes.

Sister Qiu ran for the afternoon, and her stomach was hungry, so she stretched out her palm and beckoned to the green onion pancake served in Jia's hand, scraped Jia's ear back, and said with a smile: "Go wash your hands first!" All of them understand things better than you! ”

Xiao Xu watched Sister Qiu give training on the side, sat on the wooden chair with a smile and shook her two legs, and shaved her face with her hands, "Sister Qiu, shame!" ”

Sister Qiu glanced at him, determined not to be as knowledgeable as a little child. It is said that there is something in the county government in the past few days, and the evaluation of officials is still something, Yan Yuan took a lot of officials to the county, and threw Xiaoxu to them, including food and accommodation.

When she was going to bed at night, Jia Shi asked her while picking up her things, "Have you sent out all the bean paste?" Your grandma and your aunt have all delivered them there? ”

Sister Qiu lay on the kang and nodded, yawning, "It's all sent, go to Liulou once, it's really tiring to go!" Mother, what are you doing with these old clothes? ”

Jia Shi smiled and said: "Your second aunt is about to give birth, we won't give her money, these old clothes can be torn as diapers, and 100 red eggs will be added to send over, even if it is a congratulatory gift." Your aunt is good to us, what's the point of walking these roads! I thought about it later, I will send them less sauce, and tomorrow I will send them a few catties of water tofu. ”

Sister Qiu was very sleepy, but as soon as she heard Jia's words, she immediately sat up from the kang and asked, "Mother, do you think your aunt is good to us?" ”

"Why do you ask that? Do you think your aunt is bad for us? They came to see us when they separated, and they came again when they moved......" Jia said.

Sister Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Compared with Wang Zhuang's Namei and Hai, my aunt is indeed a good relative and elder." ”

Jia Shi laughed, "How do you speak!" Can that be compared? ”

"Mother, I went to my aunt's house today, their house yard is full of scarf, and the family is all dressed very clean and neat, no one wears clothes with patches, and the fried vegetables in the small kitchen smell quite fragrant, unlike my grandmother's house, who can't even put all the oil." Sister Qiu preached.

Jia Shi asked hesitantly: "Is this...... What's wrong? I heard that your aunt is well married, and her husband's family is a solid one. ”

"At first, she heard that we had separated and came to see us, why was she empty-handed? How difficult it was when we first separated, just 100 catties of millet noodles, and eating thin paste at once was not enough to eat for six months, and she didn't know. She had just come from the market when she moved, wasn't she empty-handed? Sister Qiu said.

Jia Shi laughed and patted Sister Qiu's palm, "Why are you kid thinking about other people's things?" "Sister Qiu's temper is still understood, she is not a harsh person, and it is very strange to suddenly talk about this today.

"I'm not thinking about her." Sister Qiu said, "Mother, don't be a person who is kind and polite to you, just be stronger than my grandmother and that Mei Hehai, and you will feel that you are right for us."

Okay, let's redouble our efforts to repay him! ”

Sister Qiu's words poked at the sore spot in Jia's heart.

Jia has been married for 16 years, except for her own daughter, no one has treated her well, and even her husband, who should have regretted her, is also a person who only has the Mei family in his heart and not her. Li Changjie and Li Ailian's kindness to her is different from the Mei family's kindness to her, Li Changjie and Li Ailian's mother's family, and the woman is a member of her husband's family when she leaves the cabinet, only when the Mei family treats her well, she can be regarded as truly recognized and happy.

"Your aunt...... The people are still good. Jia Shi reluctantly spoke, and his face darkened. The Mei family treats her badly, mostly because she didn't give birth to a child, and if she thinks about it, she will fall into a strange circle of inferiority and self-blame.
