Chapter Eighty-Eight: Distressed Oil
Da Kui also said to his sister very intimately: "Don't worry about the cloth and beads, I'll go to the city to help you get it, and you can rest assured that you can sell it, anyway, I'm going to the city, just bring it to you directly." ”
Lin Xiaoman was a little surprised at first, but then he thought about it, it was better to be single-minded than to spread the stall too big, and his mother was really thoughtful. "Okay, I'll do this from now on." She smiled and joked with Da Kui, "If I make a lot of money in the future, don't be blushing." ”
Lin Dakui said, "I will make a lot of money in the future, don't be blushing and come to me to make dim sum." ”
Lin Xiaoman stayed at her mother's house until more than three o'clock, and then Da Kui took the rest of the hairpin, cloth head, beads, leather cases and other things back to her.
Dad Gao drank a little too much at noon, and was lying down and sleeping in the east room, the snoring sound was earth-shattering, and he could hear it very clearly in the open door and the west room.
Da Kui whispered: "When you earn money, my brother will build you a house, and you can move out and live." ”
Yo, this doesn't look like him, Lin Xiaoman looked at him in surprise, even if she knew that this was what he coaxed her, she was happy, "Then I'll wait." ”
Da Kui was just about to leave, and Gao Ma came back, her face was a little red, and it seemed that she had not drunk this wine at noon. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Xiaoman, is your father back?" When he raised his eyes and saw Da Kui, he had a smile on his face, "Da Kui is here." ”
"Hey. Auntie is back. Da Kui replied.
Lin Xiaoman continued: "My dad is back and sleeping in the house." ”
Gao's mother muttered, "I must have drunk a lot, your father will die when he sees wine." She was about to enter the house, when she suddenly turned around and asked, "Today, Zhiguo recognized his relatives, why didn't your parents go?" ”
Lin Dakui was stunned and asked, "No one came to call them?" He said and looked at his sister, "What do you say the second uncle and aunt are doing?" ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled faintly, "It's okay, if you don't call it, you won't call it, if you call it, you think there will be any good things!" ”
That being said, it's not very comfortable in the end.
Gao's mother frowned, "Your second uncle and aunt are indeed not like words." Okay, you two brothers and sisters, let's talk, I'll go into the house and lie down, this day, like a war, I'm tired to death. With that, he turned around and entered the house.
Lin Dakui reacted slowly, opened his mouth, and crapped silently, "Your mother-in-law doesn't seem to be very happy?" ”
Lin Xiaoman frowned and immediately let go, Gao's mother is really not right today, it seems that she is not in a good mood, is it really that the middleman is tired today?
After Da Kui left, she packed up her things, went out of the outhouse, scooped some cornmeal, and prepared to make a bud rice noodle porridge in the evening.
As soon as she lit the stove and added water to the pot, Gao's mother came out of the east house, took a stool and sat on it, and sighed. One after another, as if I was afraid that others would not hear it. Originally, Lin Xiaoman didn't want to ask, but it was so obvious that she didn't seem to care about it if she didn't ask, so she had to turn around, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? ”
Gao's mother was waiting for her daughter-in-law to ask, and when she asked, she opened the conversation, "Alas, don't mention it." I'm going to let your second aunt choke me today. ”
Lin Xiaoman thought to himself, sure enough, it was the second aunt's family again. Yesterday, the middleman was too smooth, the second uncle and grandmother agreed to the conditions of the woman's family too happily, and the second aunt was holding her breath in her heart, and she must be finding fault again today.
"Tell me about your second aunt, what does she think? Do you want to marry this family or don't you want to get married? That talking, saying a word will offend a person, and in a few words, the relatives of the woman's family will be offended. It's a shame that your third aunt is still sensible and plays a round tightly, and I will talk in the middle, otherwise, this confession wine will have to fight. Gao Ma said and sighed, "This is also to see your face, otherwise, I will have to get up and leave, what is this called." ”
Lin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Mom, I've worked hard for you, I also know that my second aunt has a lot of things, this time there is no way, Jianjun and I took care of such a thing for you." I know that my mother is looking at my face, and I have to take this love. In the future, we don't care about what they do. ”
Gao's mother frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "What kind of polite words the family says, you are right, after this matter is over, we don't care if there is anything else." ”
She said and stood up, "I'm going to wake up your dad, you can't sleep at night after sleeping for so long?" You cook, you don't need to stir-fry at night, just cut the pickle strips and eat the big cake. ”
Lin Xiaoman watched her enter the house, and didn't understand too much for a while, was she really just trying to let herself get her affection?
But is it necessary?
Originally, she also appreciated it!
Lin Xiaoman shook his head, turned around to heat the rice, scooped up the pickle gnocchi, washed it and put it on the vegetable pier, picked up the kitchen knife and cut the kitchen vegetables into thin strips, and scooped warm water to soak them.
Gao's mother and Gao's father's voices came out, talking about today's confession. After a while, it turned to Gao Jianjun, "You said that Jianjun should go to the provincial capital now, right?" ”
Gao's father began to smoke again, and after a while, Gao's mother complained: "Look at what you smoked, this house is about to be blackened by you." Can't you smoke less? ”
I didn't know before that my father-in-law was very addicted to tobacco and alcohol.
Lin Xiaoman muttered in her heart, took out the hot rice and covered it with a drawer of cloth, then poured the bud rice noodles into the pot, the porridge was ready, she took out the pickles again, poured a drop of soybean oil, cut some green onions and mixed them, and shouted into the house: "Mom, Dad, it's time to eat." Is it in the end house or in the kitchen? ”
"Let's put it in the house, put it on the kang table and eat it." Gao's mother's voice came out.
Normally, Gao Ma's figure would appear with the voice, helping to serve the dishes and chopsticks, and today until Lin Xiaoman set up the table, I didn't see her move the place.
Lin Xiaoman thought to himself, this is really tired today.
Gao's father picked up the porridge and drank it early, ate it with chopsticks and pickles, and praised it vigorously as "delicious". Gao's mother frowned and looked at the pickles for a long time, and when she saw her sitting opposite, she unceremoniously pointed to the pickles and asked, "What are you putting here?" ”
Lin Xiaoman thought she also thought it was delicious and asked her how to make it.
He whispered to her: "Soak it in warm water, then put some chopped green onions, put some oil and mix it." Isn't it so delicious? ”
Gao's mother looked at her for a while, and she didn't know what was going on, and she was a little hairy in her heart before she retracted her gaze, "Isn't it delicious, isn't it a waste of oil?" Xiaoman, your family says that the conditions are not good, if you eat like this, your oil is enough to eat? ”
Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and felt a little funny in her heart, mother-in-law is distressed about soybean oil?
"I didn't put much, just a few drops." He smiled and explained slowly: "My mother's family also eats like this occasionally, I think it's very good, so I want to make it for my father and mother." If Mom thinks it's a waste of gas, she won't do it in the future. ”
