Chapter 14: Dinner
The three little beans took small sips of sugar water, although it was not so sweet, but for them, this sugar water was the sweetest and sweetest water they had ever drunk, and they would almost never forget it for the rest of their lives.
Xiaoque was sensible, so he didn't drink half of it, and quietly brought in Xiao Duo, who was running all over the yard, and gave Xiao Duo the remaining half of the bowl of sugar water.
Xiao Duo had never drunk sugar water, and after tasting it, her face was almost buried in the bowl, and she didn't say anything after drinking it in one go, but also stretched out her little tongue to lick the bowl clean, and finally reluctantly licked the corners of her mouth, not even letting go of the last trace of sweetness.
After drinking the sugar water, the four little beans looked at Xiaotong who was smiling, and only felt that today's aunt looked so pleasing to the eye.
Especially the youngest Xiaoduo, who was still an ignorant child, heard her sister Xiaoque say that the sugar water was given by her aunt, and her simple heart immediately felt that her aunt was the best.
Xiao Duo's baby is well-behaved on weekdays, not noisy or noisy, laughing when she looks at people, but she is malnourished and thin, although the clothes are dusty, patches are patches after patches, they can be washed and scrubbed clean by Wen's, and they are liked when they look at it.
Especially today, after drinking sugar water, my little face showed a little redness, which was particularly painful.
The small mouth is also very sweet, and he arches his hand Xie Xiaotong: "Thank you, auntie, sweet--"
Seeing that Xiaotong's heart was about to melt, he hugged him casually, and it was a meal.
Xiao Xiaoduo was the most obedient, and felt that Xiaotong really liked him, without malice, not only did she not struggle, but she also took the initiative to rub her head under Xiaotong's hand obediently.
It's just a bloody face.
The house Xiaotong stroked his nephew so happily that he flew up, and the people who worked in the fields had already come back to have dinner.
Maybe it's because Mrs. Li is in a good mood, plus she has taken back the gift and has plenty of money.
Today's dinner is slightly more oil and water than yesterday's, a basket of steamed buns with three noodles, a pot of sorghum porridge, a pot of shepherd's cabbage, and a large pot of braised fresh broad beans with pork skin, and a few pickles, it makes people appetize when they look at it.
At the dinner table, after a tiring day, everyone got the food that Mrs. Li gave them, and they didn't keep silent and buried their heads in eating.
Seeing that half of the dishes on the table were gone, Mrs. Li couldn't help but roll her eyes, slapped her chopsticks, and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat!" Is this life the reincarnation of a pig? If you can't work, why can't you have enough to eat? In the past few days, I have given you a good face, and I want to turn the sky upside down, right? Look at your eating appearance, it's like you've never eaten in eight lifetimes, why does my mother strangle you on weekdays? Go all over the village to inquire, who has our Mei family treating their daughter-in-law and grandson so well? It's so used to you cocking your tails one by one, I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
The Mei family was scolded by the split, and they all immediately sneered, Tianlong and Tianhu were half-old, and when they ate poor Lao Tzu, today's food was extraordinarily fragrant, and they wanted to eat more.
The chopsticks were like rain, and they went straight to the pot of fresh broad beans stewed in the only cured pork skin with a little meat, and was scolded by Mrs. Li so much that she didn't dare to raise her head and didn't delay to pick up the vegetables.
This stabbed the hornet's nest: "What kind of sin did I create in my last life, why did I give birth to you inhuman things!" Xiaotong was divorced today, what a big thing, none of you came out to help your aunt hold a grievance, and you know how to eat and eat! My Xiaotong, Peugeot, a blessed and filial old girl, how can you live in the future! The family affairs are gone, these conscienceless guys in the family, eating your blood and drinking your meat, none of them can support you and make a face for you! I gave birth to so many of your sons and had a fart, you old sister was bullied, you don't know how to eat, I know how to eat, my heart, wow cool wow cool! Now you can't count on your old sister's affairs, and in the future, our old fellow will not be able to work, but I am afraid that we will throw our old bones out and wait for death......"
Mei Xiaoque looked confused, and the steamed bun in her hand almost didn't catch it and fell to the ground.
Zhou was also dumbfounded, and the two husbands and wives looked at each other: The old sister was divorced? When did it happen?
Xiaotong was even more confused, my mother-in-law, didn't you behave like this when you accepted the wedding ceremony? Are you a drama spirit?
Mei Zhongzhong was also stunned, she didn't like this old girl anymore, but she was really dismissed, and her psychology of being a father was not comfortable.
Put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the cigarette pouch and took a puff before he spoke: "An family has come to withdraw from relatives?" ”
Mrs. Li looked resentful: "Even the ceremony was returned!" Phew! The kind of people who don't pay attention to the An family are not worthy of our Xiaotong, but they pity us Xiaotong, and they have a reputation of retiring from their relatives in vain, and they don't know where they are in the future! An Jia's ungrateful and black-hearted bastard cub! ”
After scolding, he gritted his teeth and said: "You are not allowed to associate with the people of the An family in the future, do you know?" If I know who is with the people of the An family, see that the old lady does not break his legs! ”
Everyone nodded busily, and Tianlong stood up smartly and said: "Milk, don't worry, in a few days, when the things in the field are over, I will go with Tianhu to beat up the little children of the An family to make my aunt angry!" ”
Mrs. Li barely snorted coldly, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Tianbao and Xiaoque saw that the milk wanted the family to express their position, and they were also busy saying: "Milk, we will beat more pigweed in the future, so that the dogs of the An family will not have pigweed!" ”
Seeing that her brothers and sisters had expressed their positions, Xiaojuan scratched her ears and cheeks for a long time, and held back a sentence: "I run to the door of An's house every day to pee, and they stink to death!" ”
If Xiaotong hadn't had the wrong occasion, she would have laughed out loud, was this a stumbling block mobilization meeting for the An family?
Even Wen stood up weakly: "Mother, who dares to gossip about my little sister in the village in the future, I ...... I ......" for a long time before I came up with a sentence: "I'll splash her with water!" ”
This is already the limit for Wen, who has always been weak and honest.
Mrs. Li didn't expect Wen's to do anything earth-shattering, so she slapped those three aunts and six mothers-in-law when she went up, so she only glanced at Wen and threw half of the bun in her hand to Wen.
That's the award!
Wen's was grateful, and his hands were so excited that he couldn't catch the bun! I secretly made up my mind that in the future, I must desperately protect my sister-in-law, protect my sister-in-law, and my mother-in-law will see that she is pleasing to her eyes, so that she can have buns to eat!
Standing behind the sister-in-law, what the sister-in-law says is what = the mother-in-law looks at herself pleasing to the eye = there are buns to eat = not hungry!
Perfect!
Except for Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaoque, everyone has finished their statements.
Mrs. Li's eyes made Mei Xiaoque very stressed, and the honest man, under the eyes of his own mother, became more and more clumsy, and it took a long time to say a sentence: "Mother, what do you want me to do, I will do it!" ”
Mrs. Li really hates this son who is so honest that he can't hold a fart with a stick.
Why did she make such a fuss at night? One is for the old girl, this is forcing everyone to express their position, even if the old girl is divorced, it is still the treasure of the Mei family, and the family has to hold it.
The second is also to beat the old family, the old man has become a fine, she has been in the village for decades, and the fight between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really clear.
Recently, the old family relied on their son to grow up and work hard, and felt that their waist was straight, and they actually wanted to say goodbye to themselves.
This is categorically impermissible!
is the boss's fool, and he thought that his daughter-in-law was just fighting for a few bites of food for the child, and he was coaxed by the Zhou family to forget his father and mother in a few words.
So why don't I like my sons, because they are all bastards who have married their daughters-in-law and forgotten their mothers! Only girls are intimate!
As Mrs. Li, who has been in the Mei family for decades, someone wants to overthrow her rule and threaten her status, and she feels the danger at the first time.
I couldn't find the opportunity to attack for a while, and today I just took advantage of the fact that the old girl was withdrawn from her family, and I pressed the Zhou family well, so that he knew that it was her mother-in-law Li who was talking about this family.
I want to be the master of the house, and I will talk about it when she is dead!
"Then what do you think about your little sister's dismissal?" Mrs. Li asked.
Mei Xiaoque didn't understand it a little, the little sister was divorced, what can he think? Why do you want to retreat?
Zhou on the side immediately realized what his mother-in-law meant, and was so anxious that he only gave Mei Xiaoque a look, and in front of his in-laws, he couldn't remind him, so he kicked Mei Xiaoque desperately under the table, for fear that he would be impulsive and agree to something.
She is not a three-room that has no support, so she points to the pitiful in-laws who can barely make ends meet, and has no future.
She gave birth to three sons, and she is about to become an adult, and with her son's support, she is confident! I don't want my man and my son to work hard to earn money and be posted to my sister-in-law by an eccentric old woman.
As a result, he was in a hurry, and he didn't control the strength under his feet, so he directly kicked the leopard next to Mei Xiaoque and screamed: "Who kicked me?" ”
Mrs. Li glared at her like electricity, after all, Zhou's heart was weak, and she didn't dare to make any more small movements, so she lowered her head.
Mei Xiaoque didn't understand the sword and sword shadow between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she only felt that the atmosphere was strange and very depressing.
The honest man also has a sense of crisis, thought about what the old lady said, seemed to understand something for a long time, and said: "The little sister's family affairs are gone, and the mother will find a good family affair for the little sister." The little sister is still young, and the mother doesn't have to be too anxious, and it's good to stay with the mother for two more years. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou's eyes turned red with hatred.
Mrs. Li glared at Zhou, hum, little sample, I still want to fight with the old lady, it's too tender! I can still hold it if I crawl out of my stomach.
In a secret battle between Mrs. Li and the Zhou family, Mrs. Li won.
As soon as he was in a good mood, he didn't care about it, but told Mei Zhongzhong about another happy event: "Boss, today Xiaotong and they went up the mountain to find some jade mushrooms, I estimated that there is a small half a catty, and the day after tomorrow is a big set, when the time comes, I will bring it to the market and sell it, let alone buy a few taels of silver." ”
When Mei Zhongzhong heard this, he was overjoyed, for the people in the mountains, a few taels of silver, that is already half a year's income, can you not like it?
"Really? What a happy event! ”
Even Zhou's depressed mood went a little bit when he heard this, and it could be regarded as an income for the family.
Mrs. Li knew that her wife was prejudiced against her daughter, and now that her daughter was dismissed, she was afraid that her wife would have a bad opinion of her daughter, so she tried her best to brush up on her daughter.
"Not really! I searched for it, and when the money was sold, we couldn't move the money, so we saved it for Xiaotong. First, it was the mushrooms she picked and the money she earned. Second, she has been divorced, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult for her family affairs in the future, so save more dowry for her, and she will have confidence in the future, old man, do you think this is the reason? ”
