Mei Xiaotong looked towards the door in confusion and saw a familiar figure next to Mei Zhongzhong, who is not Mei Yongzhen?

Looking at Mei Yongzhen two steps ahead, there was a mother-in-law standing, wearing patched clothes, a long face, eight-character eyebrows, hanging eyes, two deep lines on both sides of the nose, thin lips, and a sour face.

Behind the mother-in-law, followed by the eldest brother-in-law Sun Daming, who had met once, and a man who looked a little similar to Sun Daming's facial features, with a pair of eyes, looking into the courtyard of the Mei family.

Behind them, there was a young couple, the man was reluctant, but seeing that the Mei family's yard was so hot, he slowly restrained his expression and showed a trace of greed.

The little daughter-in-law looked left and right, not whispering to the young man that she was busy.

When I looked up, I saw Mei Xiaotong beside Mrs. Li, especially the dress on Mei Xiaotong's body, her eyes immediately lit up, and a pair of eyes stared at the pair of silver bracelets on Mei Xiaotong's hands.

Mei Yongzhen's face was a little embarrassed, and she called out in a low voice: "Mother, sister-"

He turned back to the young couple and said, "Stone, Yuzhen, this is your grandmother and aunt-"

When the people in the yard saw this, they didn't understand it, I was afraid that it was Mei Yongzhen's mother-in-law, and the man also had Mei Yongzhen's son and daughter-in-law.

The other man, who looks similar to Sun Daming and is about the same age, is estimated to be Sun Daming's brother.

Just they come?

Mei Xiaotong blinked, a little understood.

Mrs. Li is not stupid, although she still doesn't understand what Mei Yongzhen wants to do with her mother-in-law's family, even her mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and son-in-law and daughter-in-law, it doesn't prevent her from guarding against them: "The big girl is back!" You're really, you don't send a letter first when you want to come back, our house is in a mess now, and we don't have any preparations. Let others know, don't say that the family has neglected you? What's more, if you come back, why do you still bring your mother-in-law and your brother-in-law? What is the rationale for this? ”

Since ancient times, I have never heard of a girl returning to her parents' house and bringing her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, what does the Sun family want to do?

Mei Zhongzhong saw the eldest daughter come back, especially the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law, this was the first time they came to the door, and they were indescribably happy.

Although I don't understand my daughter's return with my mother-in-law and brother-in-law, I can't say anything for the sake of the face of my eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Mother's family, if you don't give your daughter face, who will give it?

But when I heard my wife say this, I also felt that something was inappropriate, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Girl, are you here?" ”

Mei Yongzhen opened her mouth, but before she could speak, her mother-in-law let out a giggle laugh, which was harsh and abrupt, and rushed to speak in front: "Look at the in-laws, what are you talking about?" Why didn't you tell our family about such a big thing as your new house? Or me

When the second child of our family heard about it, I found out. ”

Mrs. Li took a sip: "Phew! My Lao Mei's family has a new house, what is it about your Sun family? Do I want to tell you more? Which shallot which garlic are you? Mother, I live so old, I never knew that there are such rules in the world? Our Mei family married their daughter to your Sun family, but where did your Sun family get the face, with such a long hand, to take care of my Mei family's affairs? ”

The mother-in-law of the Sun family, her face did not change, her face was not red, but she didn't hear it, and explained with a smile: "Look I can't speak, but my in-laws misunderstood!" I mean, for such a big thing, you should give us a letter anyway, our Sun family can't take anything else, there are still a few stupid people who work here, and they can also help, right? ”

So as soon as we heard the letter, we didn't even eat breakfast, and the family came. Look, in-laws, we haven't even drunk a sip of water this morning, and you don't let us go into the house to drink saliva? It's okay for me to be an old woman, but Shi is the eldest grandson of your Mei family, and Yuzhen is also the eldest granddaughter-in-law, this is the first time I go back to my grandfather's and grandmother's house, why don't you even let the door in? The mother-in-law of the Sun family said while looking at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li really doesn't want the Sun family to enter the door, what kind of grandson? Fart! What does it have to do with yourself? The baby born to his daughter in the future is his grandson!

But this thought can't be spoken, and then I have opinions about the Sun family, and I have thoughts about the Sun family's mother-in-law, the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law enter the door, and they really don't let them in, and Mrs. Li won't go out in the future, and her saliva will drown her.

I had to grit my teeth and let people in.

It's just that this person let him in, his heart is not happy, and his mouth is not idle: "You can pull it!" Our Mei family can't afford to invite the big Buddha of your Sun family. Now you are talking beautifully, when the old man of my family had a stroke and was lying in the hospital, what did your Sun family say? My big girl, when she saw her father, she didn't care about our old man's illness at first, and blamed her father for saying that he was lost by me, the vixen he married later, and how he lost all his belongings to my second son. ”

"That's it, I can also be a big girl because I feel sorry for her father, and I can't speak when I'm angry. But what did you say at the time? You said that the married girl spilled the water, the eldest girl in our family is a member of your Sun family, and death is the ghost of your Sun family, don't keep worrying about your mother's family. Especially the Mei family has been defeated, and it will be a bottomless pit and a mess in the future, so let's not touch our daughters, and we are not allowed to give a penny! Otherwise, you will be disobedient to your mother-in-law and will be divorced home! ”

"I bluffed our eldest daughter who has never seen the world, her soul is almost gone, and she was dragged away by your Sun family who cried! Have you forgotten this? ”

Mrs. Li's mouth was like a knife, and she peeled off the face of the Sun family.

When the women who were helping in the yard heard this, they looked at each other, and they wondered, why did this family have a big house, but they didn't see the eldest daughter and her in-laws' family, and the root of their feelings was here?

Speaking of which, the Sun family is too unkind, even if the Mei family was difficult at the time, outsiders are just outsiders, but they are also in-laws, the eldest daughter of the Mei family has been in the Sun family for so many years, and she has a son, and even a daughter-in-law, so she doesn't give this face?

Meaning, give some money, food or something, just get by on the big face, no one will say anything.

But it is rare for the Sun family to be so ruthless, not to give a penny, and to force the eldest daughter of the Mei family not to help her mother's family.

Therefore, looking at the Sun family's eyes, they all looked a little contemptuous. Mei Yongzhen and Sun Daming still have to make face, and when they heard Mrs. Li's words, their faces turned red, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Since Sun Lao Er entered the courtyard, his eyes have been looking around, touching here and looking there, and there is no moment of peace, hearing this is the same as not hearing it.

Sun Shishi and his daughter-in-law, after all, are still young and thin-skinned, and their faces are suddenly like fire, especially Sun Shishi, who is young and vigorous, and is about to turn around and leave.

But his little daughter-in-law, although her face was feverish, stood firmly, and she dragged Sun Shishi.

The mother-in-law of the Sun family is also a super thick-skinned, and Mrs. Li has said everything to this point, as long as she wants face, she will fall and leave.

But the mother-in-law of the Sun family stood firmly, and even the smile on her face did not change: "In-laws, you see that we came early in the morning, and we didn't care about eating, what is there at home, let's pad our stomachs first, we can't let our grandson and granddaughter-in-law enter the door for the first time, don't say a meeting gift, and don't even give food, right?" "I was stunned and didn't answer Mrs. Li's words.

Gift? As soon as Mrs. Li heard this, she began to grind her teeth, this grandson Shi got married, and he didn't go to his own house, so he still didn't understand the meaning? In the first month after marriage, I didn't say that I brought my new daughter-in-law to Mei's house, but now I see that the Mei family's life is getting better, and I come up.

Let's just say, why is it so complete, and the feelings are for the sake of meeting gifts?

She won't give it to a big man, as for eating, drink the northwest wind!

As soon as she saw Mrs. Li's face, Mei Zhongzhong knew that it was going to be bad.

He didn't want to see the Sun family, but after all, this eldest grandson is the blood of his daughter, and he comes to the door for the first time, and as an elder, he really can't drive people out.

I had to sigh, "Old woman, everyone is coming, and you can't really skip food." If you don't look at anything else, it's the first time you've brought your new daughter-in-law to the door, so let's get ready to eat. ”

Mrs. Li almost threw the rag in her hand on Mei Zhongzhong's face, or did Mei Xiaotong see that the momentum was not right, and the people in the courtyard who came to help watched with amazement.

If it is not handled properly, it will be a joke of the Mei family.

At the moment, he pulled Mrs. Li and stood in front, and looked at the Sun family one by one up and down, left and right, before saying: "Mother, forget it, no matter what, they have come to this stone, can we really do something to drive people out?" Besides, it has been three or four years since Shi and his daughter-in-law got married, and they only went to me for the first time

The door of the Mei family, can we as elders really care about their juniors? ”

"Stone, stone daughter-in-law, don't worry, our Mei family can't afford to entertain others, and we can still afford a meal." also said to the little couple.

At first glance, this sounds nothing, but if you think about it, the mothers-in-law who helped will understand.

The feelings of the Sun family are not kind, the eldest grandson has been married for three or four years, and it is the first time he took his daughter-in-law to his grandfather's house.

Mrs. Li was already shrewd, but she was overly angry at first, but at this moment she came back to her senses, and followed Mei Xiaotong's words and said, "Who said it wasn't? This junior's ignorance of etiquette is also the fault of the adults in the family who didn't remind them behind their backs, where can the children be blamed? Don't talk about it, the old family, the third family, don't hurry up and get some food, your sister-in-law brought your eldest nephew and eldest nephew and daughter-in-law to the door for the first time, and when you are an aunt, you don't come out to entertain soon. ”

Zhou and Wen were in the stove house, and there was movement outside

Look in the eye.

If you want to say that the Zhou family is the most annoying, it is really this sister-in-law.

is married, relying on the love of her father-in-law, she has to make up for her every New Year's holiday, and it is just a matter of saying that there are contacts.

But this sister-in-law has never been picked out from Mei's house, and she has not come back.

After a long time, who is comfortable?

What's more, she didn't crawl out of the belly of a mother with her own man, even Mei Xiaotong used to be eager to get out, let alone Mei Yongzhen?

Especially when I heard Mei Zhongzhong say that, the first time she came to the door, did she have to give a meeting gift?

Bah! Dream on! With this money, why is it better to buy some food for your own baby? Feed the white-eyed wolf of the Sun family?

Therefore, he hid in the stove house and did not say anything.

Although the Wen family didn't say it, they also had a bad impression of the Sun family.

It is rare for the two concubines to pretend to be stupid and hide in the stove house, but they didn't expect to dodge.

Hearing the call of his mother-in-law, he had to come out reluctantly.

Zhou didn't have a good voice: "This is not a year, not a festival, not early and not too late, who can be prepared if you drag your family over?" We still have to be busy with the noon meal, and we really can't spare our hands, and now we only have a little porridge and pickles that we haven't eaten in the morning. ”

Mrs. Li saw that Zhou's dead pig was not afraid of boiling water on weekdays, so she was angry and wanted to scold.

But now because of the Sun family, I just feel that the Zhou family has become pleasing to the eye;

Wen also echoed softly: "There's really no way, Daddy, you have also seen it, everyone is busy, this steamed bun has just been put on the basket, the meat has not been cut, and the vegetables are still raw......"

Mei Zhongzhong didn't know that these two daughters-in-law were pretending to be stupid, and they just didn't want to see the Sun family.

I had to look at Mei Yongzhen reluctantly: "Eldest girl, do you think you should put on the mat first, and you will have lunch in a while, and then you will have a good meal?" ”

What else can Mei Yongzhen say, she only looks at her grandmother-in-law and her own man uneasily.

The mother-in-law of the Sun family originally showed a look of displeasure on her face when she heard that there was only porridge, but she didn't know why she stopped it again: "What the in-laws said, our family doesn't talk about the two families, they are all relatives, so you don't need to be polite." My wife can bear it, that is, my eldest granddaughter-in-law, with a body, can't resist hunger, so I have to bother with two aunts, porridge, pickles, let's pad first, so as not to starve the child in the belly. ”

When the Mei family heard this, their eyes couldn't help but look at the stone daughter-in-law's belly, and sure enough, although it was not obvious, the stomach did bulge a little.

Mei Zhongzhong is getting older, and she likes to have more children and more blessings, and when she heard that this eldest grandson has grandchildren, she was happy: "This is a happy event, only eat porridge——"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she knew that the old man's old mistake was about to be committed, so she coughed hurriedly: "The happy event is a happy event, but it is also a happy event for the Sun family. ”

was interrupted like this, and Mei Zhongzhong's words were not easy to say.

Wen and Zhou brought out two pots, and there were also half a pot of porridge and a pot of pickles at the bottom, which were left over from the morning.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything left, only not enough, because yesterday Master Jiang, Mei Changgui, and Mei Xiaoque came back and said that the men who came to help were willing to do their best, and if they went on like this, the completion of the house could be a few days earlier. Mei Xiaotong discussed with Mrs. Li, in addition to porridge and pickles in the morning, one person also gave two steamed buns, otherwise there was only some porridge in the stomach, working for a while, two bubbles of urine and one spilling, there was nothing, where would I have the strength to do things?

Mrs. Li will also settle accounts, although adding steamed buns in the morning has more expenses, but she can finish it a few days earlier, which saves a lot of wages.

What is a steamed bun worth? The wheat at home and the sorghum at home only take a little more effort and firewood.

So I readily agreed.

It was because I saved money to eat steamed buns in the morning, but the people who came to help didn't know, they all felt that the old Mei family's work was really nothing to say, it was too kind, even in the morning, there were steamed buns to eat, and they praised it for a while, everyone said that the Mei family was kind, kind-hearted, and had a good reputation.

As soon as the basin came out, no one else moved, so Sun Lao Er moved first.

I took out a sea bowl and chopsticks from the basket where the dishes and chopsticks were placed, ran to the basin and made a bowl full of porridge, and drank along the edge of the bowl while probing into the stove house.

Sun Shishi also stepped forward, took two bowls, made a bowl of porridge for himself and his daughter-in-law, and scraped the little pickles left in the basin next to him into the two bowls with a spoon, stirred and mixed with chopsticks, and then snorted and ate with his daughter-in-law.

The women who helped in the yard were eye-opening, this has not yet been seen, the elders have not served the bowl, this son and grandson and grandson and daughter-in-law have eaten first.

But the mother-in-law of the Sun family seems to be accustomed to it, not only did she not blame Sun Lao Er and Sun Shishi, but she also looked kind

shouted: "Eat slowly, don't choke!" ”

After speaking, he turned his face to see that Sun Daming and Mei Yongzhen were the faces of a stepmother: "Old family, what are you still doing?" This is your mother's house, why don't you wait for me to come and serve you dinner? Is this a hard waist when I go back to my parents' house? Even my mother-in-law doesn't serve anymore? ”

When Sun Daming heard this, he pushed Mei Yongzhen: "What are you still doing stupidly?" Why don't you bring food to my mother and me? We're here to help your mother's family today, why don't you hurry—"

Mei Yongzhen lowered her head, bit her lip and stepped forward, scooping a bowl of porridge for the Sun family's mother-in-law and Sun Daming, there was only a little bottom left in the pot, and before she had time to put a bowl on herself, Sun Lao Er had already drunk her own bowl and handed the bowl to Mei Yongzhen: "Sister-in-law, add some to me!" I didn't eat this morning, but I was starving! ”

Mei Yongzhen hesitated for a moment and poured all the remaining points into Sun Laoer's bowl.

Sun Lao Er took it over, didn't even say a word of thanks, and buried his head and ate again.

Sun Shishi and his daughter-in-law also finished eating, ran over to see, the two basins were clean, pouted, and put the bowl on the table: "It's just so much, where is there enough to eat?" It's not that the Mei family is rich now, and they are full when they invite outsiders to help, why are we here and still so half-hungry? ”

Over there, the woman helping was steaming the steamed buns in a steamer, and at this moment the steamer was already steaming, and the unique wheat fragrance of the steamed buns spread in the yard.

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, she pulled Sun Shishi's clothes, glanced over there, and the two of them came to the steamer, and when the woman was not paying attention, she reached out to remove the steamer.

"Smack-" A thin piece of firewood knocked on his hand, and Sun Shishi cried out in pain with his teeth cracked.

The mother-in-law of the Sun family threw down the bowl and rushed over, holding Sun Shishi's wrist and looking at it, there was a red one on the back of his hand.

Suddenly
