Chapter 56: Dissonance
Chunni occasionally went into the house to add tea, and when she saw her man like this, her face was full of joy when she turned back to the stove.
Chen's sister-in-law and sister-in-law came to help early, one was washing cabbage and the other was choosing fungus, and she was also happy to see her like this, and quipped, "The golden snowflakes in the sky can't be done, and you are smiling so much that your eyes are slit." ”
Dong's fourth daughter-in-law cut vegetables in her hand and echoed with a smile, "She, this is her own master, and she is free to breathe." ”
Several women laughed with a clear face, and went out to say that it was the wish of every daughter-in-law, after all, living in front of her in-laws always has too many constraints and too much unfreedom.
Although Chunni and his wife went out empty-handed, but now that their small life is also prosperous, who can not envy them?
Chunni grabbed a few bud straws and stuffed them under the cauldron where she was steaming the steamed buns, and the firelight reflected her face even more ruddy, "After I have a child, I will really choose my own life by myself, and I have to rely on the help of my sisters-in-law." ”
"That's natural, it's not easy to set up a new portal, you just shout if you have something." Sister-in-law Chen responded, but then remembered that she hadn't seen Pucao for a while, so she said, "What are you doing with Pucao girl?" ”
"It's a little sunny right now, she's in the greenhouse, and she should be back in a moment." As soon as Chunni's words fell, she saw Pu Cao walking in with more than a dozen fresh shallots in her hand, "I heard my sister-in-law say that she missed me from afar, no, I came here while I was in the limelight." ”
Several women laughed, and Sister-in-law Chen quipped, "Oh, everyone, remember, Pucao has grown a tailwind, don't speak ill of her in the future, otherwise she will listen to it." ”
After a few laughs, the crowd continued to be busy, and Pucao washed and peeled the shallots, and then called out to the peach blossoms playing in the yard, and instructed, "Go and bring the few eggs left in our house." ”
When Shanzi heard her sister talking, she ran over and shouted, "Sister, I want to eat peanut candy." ”
Pu Cao glanced at the children of the Chen family and the Dong family in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "Okay, Marshal Ben approved it." General Shanzi, take some more points for your little soldiers. ”
Shanzi immediately smiled happily, picked up the long wooden knife in his hand and pointed at his own yard next door, and shouted, "Brothers, kill with this general, and you will be rewarded for winning the battle!" ”
The children had already heard the word "peanut candy" in their ears, how could they not obey the general's order at this time, and ran away with the woodcut sword in their hands in a swarm, and the peach blossom also pulled Fu'er and Xiaoxue of the Dong family and followed out with a smile.
The children of the Chen family have been sharing good food with Taohua Shanzi these days, and Chen's sister-in-law and sister-in-law are used to it, and they also understand that Pucao is not a careful eye, so they just smile.
Dong's fourth daughter-in-law wanted to chase the child back to the door, but was pulled back by Pu Cao halfway and persuaded, "Sister-in-law, what is this politeness, it is common for children to play together and share some food together, don't mess with everyone." ”
Second sister-in-law Chen also smiled, "That is, sister-in-law Dong will know when she is the director in the future, Pucao hurts children more than us mothers, and she won't feel sorry for this little bit of food." ”
Dong's fourth daughter-in-law blushed when she heard this, she is a person who is used to calculation, and she is really not used to meeting such a generous master.
Soon, the children retrieved the eggs, sat down on the threshold with a piece of candy in their mouths and licked them.
Pu Cao lifted the lid of the cauldron and raised steaming steamed buns with two noodles.
Over there, Chunnier and Sister-in-law Chen also put three big dishes, stewed tofu with snow mushrooms, stewed pork belly with dried peas, and stewed frozen tofu with cabbage vermicelli, into a large clay pot.
The two iron pots were brushed clean and re-boiled, while stir-frying cabbage fungus, on the other hand was scrambled eggs with fresh onions, and the fragrant fragrance made the children look into the cauldron from time to time.
Chen's second sister-in-law was afraid that she would burn them after serving the food for a while, so she said, "Come into the house and tell your father to set up the table and start the meal." ”
The children cheered and ran back to the house to report the news, and the men sitting in the outhouse, together with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Dong, who were sitting in the back room gossiping, all got up to help put the table.
Chunni entered the house with a small clay pot full of vegetables, and said with a smile when she saw this, "I have wronged my aunt and aunt, I am afraid that I will sit on the kang and eat today." ”
Mrs. Chen patted the square kang table beside her and said with a smile, "What's wronged, it's a blessing to sit on the hot kang and eat on this big winter day." ”
Mrs. Dong also said, "That's it, such a good dish and good rice are sweet to eat." ”
Everyone laughed and helped out.
Liu Housheng looked at Chunni out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly gave her a look. Chunni was reluctant in her heart, but she still smiled, "I'll go and invite my father and mother to come, and you can bring the wine jar to the table first." ”
When Liu Housheng heard his daughter-in-law say this, his face immediately burst into laughter.
It is said that the most difficult thing in the world to give up is blood and family, even if the father and mother are eccentric, and they are always difficult to be ruthless and resentful when they are children and think of their upbringing.
What's more, Liu Housheng has such a kind and filial temperament, although he has also complained about his parents in his heart, but the son does not say anything about his father, he still hopes that his daughter-in-law can be more tolerant for him.
"Go, go, put on a turban, it's cold outside." Liu Housheng instructed, and he had to get up and go to the corner of the house to move the jar of bud grain wine.
Dong Si hurriedly jumped up and said with a smile, "I'll move it, it's not that I feel sorry for your leg injury, I'm really afraid that you will ruin everyone's verbal blessing if you make a mistake." ”
Everyone in the room laughed, and when he moved the wine jar, he poured it into the big bowl, smelling the slightly spicy and pungent aroma of wine, and everyone looked drunk before drinking.
Besides, Chunni said hello to Pucao and the others and walked out of the yard, and as soon as she walked out, she saw her uncle walking this way with her in-laws on the left and right. She was puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward to beckon, "Daddy, what's wrong?" Why do you still come out to blow the wind when you are not feeling well? ”
Liu Shuisheng smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, but Mrs. Liu gasped and scolded, "If you want to save a few pieces of meat, just say it, don't pretend to be filial and go here to please us, if it weren't for you last night..."
"Mother, let's go to the eldest brother's house and talk about it." Liu Shuisheng still expected his eldest brother and sister-in-law to take out the silver, but he didn't want to annoy them too much, so he hurriedly interrupted his mother's words, and then sped up and walked forward with his father and mother.
Chunni followed behind, watching the family of three staggering, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she kept thinking in her heart, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that they had come to the house from time to time.
So the fist in the sleeve was clenched tightly, and she made up her mind that this time she couldn't tolerate it because of Liu Housheng, she finally had a good life, and whoever dared to reach out to grab it, she would risk her life and not let them have a good time!
Liu Shuisheng was walking against the wind and snow, and he felt a chill in his spine, and he wanted to turn around to take a look, but because he was holding his father and mother and was unable to move, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that his father and mother had made a mistake. Forget about saving on weekdays, I don't want to take a bath in this winter, and I didn't want to burn my two heads into two coals before dawn this morning.
If he hadn't rubbed their heads and feet with snow for them, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to get up at this time.
In the blink of an eye, several people entered the courtyard back and forth. When Liu Housheng saw his father and mother like this, he stood up immediately and asked, "What's wrong with my father, but I have a cold?" ”
Uncle Li Jiu and Uncle Kong Wu also let the chairs come out and helped settle the old couple to sit down.
Old man Liu glared at Da'er fiercely, and said angrily, "You unfilial thing, you don't invite your father and mother to the banquet at home, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs." ”
Where did Liu Housheng know that his father and mother were scolding when they opened their mouths, and they were clumsy when they wanted to explain a few words, so their faces were so blue and white that they were not embarrassed.
Chunni then followed up, and when she heard this, she said, "Dad said this, but he was wronged to give birth to a child, he has been talking about not seeing his father and mother for many days, and it is inconvenient to move around if he wants to go and see." Today, the bottom of the pot is burning at home, and as soon as the meal is ready, I will invite the second elder, and this filial father has to see it clearly. ”
None of the people in the house are stupid, and no one can hear that she is shouting grievances on the surface, but in fact she is complaining that the old couple doesn't care about their sick son. So everyone sighed in their hearts, and every family had a scripture that was difficult to read.
Uncle Chen is the oldest in the house, and when he saw that the atmosphere was not good, he opened his mouth to talk, "Today is a good day to celebrate your little couple to pick a door, and your father and mother are also worried about it, otherwise you can't rush over in such an uncomfortable body." Let's hurry up and start the table, the food will be cold in a while. ”
The rest of the people also laughed and said a few words, and Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Chen in the house also came out to help Mrs. Liu into the house. For a while, everyone sat back and gossiped, waiting for the women to finish their meals and start the feast.
Chunni returned to the stove with an annoyed face, and when she saw Chai He, she also felt that she was in the way, and when she saw the dishes, she also felt that it was an eyesore, and she saw that Chen's sister-in-law sighed and persuaded, "Nizi, bear with it, everyone who is an old man has this temper." ”
Pucao also gave Chunni a look, signaling her not to leave an unfilial word in front of everyone.
Chunnier gasped a few times, then suppressed the anger in her heart and put the steamed buns in the dry food basket, and reluctantly smiled, "Let the sisters-in-law laugh, my temper is too dry." Let's go into the house and eat. ”
As they spoke, a few of them entered the house, and Aunt Chen beckoned them to get on the kang and said with a smile, "You guys have been busy for a long time, so let's eat together." What is lacking at the table, let them go by themselves. ”
The door between the inside and outside has been wide open for the convenience of talking, and Dong Si responded when he heard it clearly, "Sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, just eat well, I will take care of it here." ”
Mrs. Liu leaned on the quilt behind her, and muttered, "Things without rules..."
Everyone pretended not to hear, laughed and started eating. Pu Cao looked at Mrs. Liu's cheeks that were abnormally red, and guessed that she was infected with the wind cold.
So I was worried that the children were young and easy to be infected, so I used the excuse that the table was too crowded, added a bowl of vegetables to each of them, divided a steamed bun, and drove them to the kang to sit and eat.
