"It's none of your business, she has thought so for a long time, before my mother-in-law wrote to me and said that I wanted to send money back, saying that she wanted to knit a sweater, it seems that at that time she just wanted me to pay for the sweater for Hongmei. But they think it's weirdly beautiful, I don't have a sweater yet, where can I get the spare money to knit for her, I'm not as easy to bully as I was when I first got married. Zhang Chunping said.

"Then will you go up the mountain to sweep the mountain goods tomorrow?" The previous few families had made an appointment to go up the mountain together tomorrow, but now that Zhang Chunping's family has guests, Xie Xiaonian still has to confirm.

"Of course we go, what should we do, just act as if Hongmei doesn't exist."

These mountain goods are related to their family's winter rations, how can they be affected because of an unimportant person.

"Okay, that's it, you go back to cooking, your man should come back in a while!" Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

"Chunping's sister-in-law's house is not going to be peaceful recently!" After Xie Xiaonian repeated what Zhang Chunping told himself to Xu Zhongjun, he said with emotion.

"That's no way, who let her family have such a relative, I don't think Chunping's sister-in-law is a person who will suffer, don't worry, eat well! This braised pork is so delicious, daughter-in-law, you didn't eat it in the morning, hurry up and eat more! ”

Xu Zhongjun said while serving Xiao Nian vegetables that all his attention was on the food now.

"Dad, I'm going to eat braised pork too!" Pancake saw that his father was serving vegetables to his mother, and he also held the bowl and said.

"Do your own thing!" Xu Zhongjun replied directly and ruthlessly.

"Then how do you clip Mom, Dad is eccentric!" Pancake said dissatisfied.

"It's only right for me to pick up vegetables for my daughter-in-law, so I'm biased, what can you do!" Xu Zhongjun replied childishly.

"Pancakes, my brother will clip them for you!" Peace and peace.

"Mmmm, brother is the best!"

Xie Xiaonian looked at the situation that was staged on the dining table almost every day, and smiled helplessly, Xu Zhongjun was really getting more and more naïve.

"Zhongjun, you clean up the vegetable garden tomorrow morning, and hoe the ground, I will grow vegetables!" Pancakes and apples, the two of you will be at home with Xiaobai tomorrow morning watching your sister, if your sister is hungry or peeing, go to the front and call your father, you know? Xie Xiaonian advised.

"Mom, where are you going? I'm going too! ”

"Mom is going to go to the mountains with Xianghong's mother tomorrow to pick mountain goods, and then you will go faster, you are still young, and you can't keep up. Tomorrow you are obedient at home, and I will bring you delicious fruits when I come back at noon! Xie Xiaonian coaxed.

"Why don't I go up the mountain with you tomorrow, so that I can help you carry something, and if you have a vegetable field, I can do it when I come back from the army at night." Xu Zhongjun answered uneasily.

"No, I'm mainly going to make up the numbers, and I don't get too much, I can carry it, you train hard enough every day, how can you come back and do farm work!"

Xie Xiaonian often finds time to go up the mountain, just to find an excuse for the food at home, and he will not compete with others to get too many things back, let alone tire himself.

Xu Zhongjun also understood the situation, so after listening to Xie Xiaonian's words, he agreed.

"Isn't your niece going?" When he went up the mountain the next day, Xie Xiaonian saw that Xiang Hongdu followed, but he didn't see He Hongmei's figure, so he asked suspiciously.

She said that she was too tired yesterday to come over and couldn't walk! My family can go up the mountain to pick mountain goods one day a week, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't follow her, so as not to make me angry and affect my work. Zhang Chunping pouted and said.

"That's fine, without her, we can still be comfortable. Some time ago, when I went up the mountain, I found a place, there are a lot of good things in it, let's go directly today, the province ran back and forth to find it. Xie Xiaonian continued.

"Okay, I knew I was right to follow you!" Zhang Chunping said happily.

The place Xie Xiaonian found was a small mountain col, a little far from the compound, but because no one went, there were a lot of mushroom fungus and chestnuts and the like.

In addition, Xie Xiaonian sometimes sprinkled some stream water in the space on the plants over there, so it is not an exaggeration to describe the small mountain col at this time as fruitful, so many things are enough for a few of them to have a good winter.

At noon, when the families returned to the compound with heavy baskets on their backs, they saw He Hongmei at the gate of the compound, chatting with the soldiers standing guard shyly and timidly.

To be precise, it was He Hongmei who was talking alone, and the soldiers standing guard had been standing straight because of their duties, without squinting and without talking.

But a beautiful little girl, who had been talking to him like this, and the soldier's face was flushed, but she didn't know how to drive people away, so she had to ignore them.

Seeing a few people coming back, He Hongmei hurriedly said goodbye to the little soldiers and walked in the direction of Zhang Chunping and the others.

After she walked away, the little soldier also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of such a little girl, he really didn't know how to parry.

He Hongmei stepped forward and said to Zhang Chunping with concern: "Second aunt, are you back, are you tired?" Jun Wei and Jun Qiang were coaxed to sleep by me, and I have already made the meal, just waiting for you, the second uncle and Xiang Hong to come back for dinner. The back basket must be very heavy, come, I'll help you carry it. ”

After speaking, He Hongmei stepped forward to take the basket on Zhang Chunping's back.

Zhang Chunping is not a polite person, since Hongmei wants to help her carry the basket, it just so happens that she can still help her daughter.

So Zhang Chunping immediately put the back basket on the ground and said to Hongmei: "Okay, then you can help me carry it, I'll help Xianghongbei." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about He Hongmei's uncertain face, took the back basket on her daughter's back, and walked home.

In fact, He Hongmei just wanted to make a show, pretend to be virtuous, and then take the opportunity to see what was in the back basket.

But now Zhang Chunping has put the back basket on the ground, waiting for her to carry it, and she is also a little difficult to ride a tiger for a while, so she has to resign herself to carrying the heavy back basket on the ground, otherwise others will not say that she is hypocritical.

But she didn't let herself suffer, before carrying the basket, she took out the largest pear from the basket, and followed everyone to the yard while gnawing on it.

If Zhang Chunping hadn't told Wu Shuqin about this niece in the morning, other people would have thought that her niece was a well-behaved and obedient person when they saw this scene.

"Mom, I watched my sister well with my brother this morning, and my sister didn't cry all morning." As soon as Xie Xiaonian arrived home, the pancakes hurriedly invited merit.

"Really, the pancakes are so good, keep working hard in the afternoon. Come, reward you with fruit to eat. Xiao Nian took out a bunch of grapes from the basket and said to the pancakes with a smile.

"I don't eat, Mom, I'm going to go up the mountain with you in the afternoon, I want to go up the mountain to play, I haven't been up the mountain for a long time." Pancake said dissatisfied.

"But in the afternoon, my mother will not go up the mountain, and in the afternoon, my mother will work with my father to build out the rabbit and sheep pens in the yard. The next time Mom and Dad go up the mountain together, will I take you, my brother and my sister with me? Xie Xiaonian coaxed.

"Alright then, mom, be sure to take me with you next time you go up the mountain." Pancake instructed uneasily.

"Well, don't worry, mom is a good word, and her words count."

After speaking, Xie Xiaonian went to wash two bunches of grapes, peeled a pear and gave it to the father and son to eat, and then went to the kitchen to cook lunch.

And Zhang Chunping, who originally thought that she could eat when she went home, walked to the kitchen and saw a pot of vegetables stewed in the pot, and said to He Hongmei a little angrily: "Didn't I tell you, fry a potato, fry a bean, and then steam an eggplant, what are you doing?" ”

"What's it, of course it's a dish? It's not like you haven't eaten it, don't we all do this? And we only eat two meals a day in our hometown, so you will be happy, and we eat three meals a day, I think it would be good to deal with this meal at noon, and it would be a waste of food to eat too much. He Hongmei made excuses for her laziness.

"Eat two meals in my hometown, that is also the time when the farm is slack, don't you eat three meals when the farm is busy? We are so tired from going up the mountain today, what's wrong with eating three meals? Look at you asked you to cook, what did you cook? Is it eaten by humans? It's a waste of my food. If you don't want to cook, if you don't like to stay here, if you like to eat two meals, you can go back to my hometown for me, and no one will keep you. "Even if he can't take the opportunity to drive people away, Zhang Chunping doesn't plan to make the other party feel better.

"Why isn't it eaten by people? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it myself. I see that you are deliberately finding fault and trying to drive me away, let me tell you, you want to drive me away, no way! ”

He Hongmei filled herself a bowl of vegetables and sat down at the table to eat.

No matter how unpalatable it is, she pretends to be delicious and gets angry with Zhang Chunping, who let this second aunt always deal with everyone in her family.

Originally, Zhang Chunping's family was not picky eaters, after all, Zhang Chunping's previous skills were there, and picky eaters were going to be hungry.

But since Zhang Chunping and Xie Xiaonian learned to cook, the family's mouths have become more and more picky, and the three children looked at the food in the pot, and they all drooped their faces, unwilling to reach out to eat the rice.

If it was usual, when it was time to eat, a few children would have gobbled it up.

Seeing this, Zhang Chunping had no choice, it was her own child who was hungry, and she was also distressed, so she had to go back to the kitchen and make a small pot of tomato scrambled eggs as quickly as possible.

"Your life is really good enough, you can scrambled eggs and eat them casually, and my grandmother and I can't eat eggs once a year at home."

Waiting for Zhang Chunping to bring the dishes to the table, He Hongmei pouted while picking eggs into her bowl.

Anyway, there are no outsiders here, and she doesn't need to pretend to be gentle and kind, revealing her mean nature.
