When Chen's mother saw Chen Miao talking to herself like this, her anger surged again, and she said loudly to Chen Miao's room: "Did you talk to your mother like this?" Are you still polite? You are so unfilial! ”

Chen Miao stopped responding to her words, and only a low sobbing sound came from the room.

Liu Xiaoai whispered to her mother-in-law: "Mom, Miao Miao is older, don't say that she said it so ruthlessly, the eldest girl wants to save face." Besides, Miao Miao is as bad as you say, didn't you stick a knife in her? ”

The sister-in-law also chimed in: "That's right, Mom, maybe she's in a hurry, but there is no way to get fate." You can't push too hard. The more she pushed, the more she screwed up. ”

Mother Chen looked at the two daughters-in-law, thinking that she was indeed too ruthless what she said just now, and now that her daughter can't wipe her face, she must be angry with her.

Mother Chen said to the two: "There is only this piece of noodles left, you two wrap it, I'll go see Miao Miao." This is too childish. ”

Mother Chen knew that she was ruthless, but she still didn't want to admit her mistake, but it came down to Chen Miao's temperament.

The sister-in-law and Liu Xiaoai both asked their mother-in-law to hurry up to see Chen Miao, and the dumplings were almost finished, and there was no need for the mother-in-law.

Chen's mother went to wash her hands, and then knocked on Chen Miao's door.

"Dead girl, get up and eat. Why did you go to lie down again? ”

Chen Miao was annoyed by her mother's knock on the door, and waited for a while before responding: "Don't knock." I'm not hungry, I don't eat. ”

Chen's mother persuaded again: "Why can't you skip meals during the Chinese New Year?" Hurry up, how many times will I call you? The stinky girl is too big to say. Come on, won't mom nag you in the future? ”

Chen's mother was softened in disguise.

Chen Miao also knew that if she didn't get up, her mother would keep knocking on the door. Anyway, she got dressed and got straight out of bed and opened the door.

She said to her mother, "Okay, can't I get up here, I'll go to dinner later." You go get to work first. ”

Chen's mother turned around and left, and went to pick up firewood and prepare to light a fire and boil water.

Liu Xiaoai and her sister-in-law glanced at each other, a little tacitly, and then changed the topic and started chatting again.

After wrapping the dumplings, Liu Xiaoai chose the job she was most willing to do: burning the fire!

The big pot stove in the countryside is burning, and the whole person is warm, Liu Xiaoai is afraid of the cold, and it is easiest and most comfortable to do this job.

As a daughter-in-law, it is impossible for her to do nothing. For other jobs, she has to go into the water often, whether it is cold or hot, her hands will crack. Therefore, she can only choose this job that does not require going into the water.

She burned the fire vigorously, and after the water boiled, Chen's mother put a lot of dumplings in the pot.

The dumplings were boiled for a long time, but Chen's mother didn't pick them up.

Liu Xiaoai urged: "Mom, the dumplings have been boiled for so long, and they will be boiled if they are not fished out." ”

Chen's mother said indifferently: "It can't be broken, you can rest assured that it will be cooked, it will not be cooked in a short time." ”

Only then did Liu Xiaoai remember that the dumplings in her mother-in-law's house were different from the dumplings she had seen since she was a child: the skin was too thick.

Usually cook dumplings, if you don't take them out in time, the dumpling skin will be easy to break, and the filling will all run out.

If the usual dumplings had been boiled for so long, they might have become a pot of soup long ago.

Liu Xiaoai stood up uneasily, glanced into the pot, and saw that the dumplings, one by one, were like stones, and there was no sign of breaking at all.
