"What I eat is earned by me and my man, what does it have to do with you, don't eat if you don't like it."
Zhang Chunping took the tomato scrambled eggs on the table, and divided a pot of vegetables by two to the family.
Since He Hongmei said so, then don't eat the dishes she cooks.
"Second uncle, look at the second aunt, how can this be, I won't be allowed to eat scrambled eggs, I will tell my grandmother when I go home." He Hongmei shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Go tell your grandma, go now, hurry up, you think I'm afraid of that old witch." Since you came to my house, I tell you, if you want to live in peace, just hold your tail between my legs and be a man, otherwise I will annoy me, I said to drive you away, your second uncle will have to send you away immediately, if you don't believe it, try it. Zhang Chunping directly threatened coldly.
He Hongmei saw Zhang Chunping say this about her, and her second uncle didn't even say a word, and kept eating next to her, knowing that he would not face herself, she angrily threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table, turned around and went back to the house.
"Mom, don't let my cousin cook in the future, the food she cooks is not delicious at first glance." After He Hongmei returned to the house, He Junwei said complainingly.
"Well, I know, I won't let her do it in the future, don't worry, by the way, she didn't bully you two at home this morning, right?" Zhang Chunping asked worriedly.
"No, it's just that she wants to eat something delicious, and she asked me for the key to your house, I mean I didn't, she scolded me twice and went back to sleep."
"You don't have to pay attention to her, she's a crazy woman, and your dad will send her back after a while." Zhang Chunping said
"Great, send my cousin away, I don't like her." He Xianghong also answered.
Their family had been peaceful for a while, and she didn't want to have any more quarrels in the house all day long.
"Well, don't worry, she won't stay long." Zhang Chunping said directly.
Before the family had finished lunch, they saw He Hongmei walking out of the house again, squatting next to the basket, and vigorously taking the fruit inside.
"Don't touch the fruit inside, I picked it for my brother, and you are not allowed to eat it."
He Xianghong saw that He Hongmei was about to take out the fruits in the back basket, and she and her younger brother hadn't eaten a bite, so she hurriedly said out loud.
"Aren't they just two fruits? What's so rare, you little girl, why are you so protective of food, do you know how to respect the elderly? I'm your sister. He Hongmei said directly.
"I don't know if it's you who respects the elder, your second uncle and I have been busy all morning, and we are not willing to taste one. If you want to eat, go up to the mountain and pick it yourself, don't think about getting something for nothing. After Zhang Chunping finished speaking, he stepped forward to grab the fruit in He Hongmei's arms.
However, He Hongmei's movements were also very fast, and when Zhang Chunping stepped forward, she ran with most of the fruits.
"Hmph, I'm not going to pick it, what if I make my hands thick?" After He Hongmei finished speaking, she didn't care about everyone's faces, and went back to the house directly with the fruit.
"Look at your good relatives." Zhang Chunping said angrily to He Shulin.
He Shulin knew that he was at a loss, and Zhang Chunping was angry now, if he refuted, he might really quarrel, so he hung his head and continued to eat, not daring to say anything.
"Mom, I haven't eaten that fruit yet!" He Junwei looked at the only little fruit left in the basket and said aggrievedly.
"It's okay, mom will pick it for you in the afternoon, and mom will lock it up and won't give it to your cousin!" Zhang Chunping coaxed.
Zhang Chunping's house was noisy, but Xie Xiaonian's house was still quiet and peaceful as usual.
After the family had a lunch break, they began to work in the yard, which was about to be winter, and they had to clean up the yard as soon as possible.
"Zhongjun, the winter here is too cold, and now there are apples, we can't go to the space all the time in winter like last year, you have time to help me go to the cafeteria to get some chicken feathers, duck feathers, goose feathers and the like, I want to make some down jackets, duvets, in this way, the quilt is lighter and will not press the child, and it is warmer." When he went to bed at night, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun.
"Will that be warm?"
It was the first time Xu Zhongjun had heard that chicken feathers were used to make clothes, so he asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's warm, you'll know when you make it, if you don't believe it, we'll go to the space now, I'll make one for you to try!" Xie Xiaonian said affirmatively.
"No, I trust you. I'll go to the cafeteria tomorrow and ask them to help us save some, we won't ask for it in vain, and we can buy it with money when the time comes. However, the canteen should not be able to give much, after all, the army does not often eat chickens, ducks and geese, if you do too much, it will also arouse suspicion. If I have time, I'll go to the meat factory in the county and ask, they should be more. ”
Since the daughter-in-law said so, it must be certain, and Xu Zhongjun did as the daughter-in-law instructed.
"Okay, anyway, just try to get it back, others don't know how to do it, and I don't know how to use it, and I don't know how much to do, when the time comes, I'll use the duck feathers and goose feathers in the space to make it, and others don't know, I can't dismantle our quilt, it's a big deal, I'll add another layer of cotton to it, and it shouldn't be exposed, anyway, it's just a famous road."
Xie Xiaonian asked Xu Zhongjun to even look for chicken feathers, not because she would use them when making clothes and quilts, but because there were not many people who ate meat at this time, duck feathers and goose feathers were not easy to find, and chicken feathers would be relatively easier.
"Xiao Nian, I'm here to play with you." The next morning, not long after Xie Xiaonian finished eating, He Hongmei knocked on the door.
"Hongmei is here, come in, I'm going to take the child to the mountains to chop firewood and reserve firewood for the winter, why don't you go with it, just chop some firewood for your second aunt's family and come back, her family, the people who go to school, go to work, they don't have much time, you can help when you come."
Xie Xiaonian didn't plan to go out, but seeing that He Hongmei had to rely on the rhythm of her house, he said so.
With her understanding of He Hongmei, she must be unwilling to work, especially to help Zhang Chunping's family.
Sure enough, after Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, He Hongmei's face was a little unsightly, and she said uncomfortably: "My second aunt still has a lot of firewood at home, and they don't let me work, after all, am I a guest, I still don't go, you go by yourself, I'll come to play with you when you come back." Don't bother you, I'll go home first. ”
He Hongmei didn't even enter the door, so she went back directly.
"Mom, are you really going up the mountain? My brother and I are going too. Pancake heard Xiao Nian say go up the mountain and asked happily.
"That's right, let's go up the mountain today, and I'll borrow a cart later, and pull you and your brother and sister together."
Since he said that he was going to go up the mountain, Xiao Nian was definitely going to go, and he couldn't leave a handle for others.
It's about to be winter, and it's time to stock up on firewood at home.
When Xie Xiaonian walked to the gate of the courtyard with the child, he saw He Hongmei chatting with the soldiers at the gate again.
The women who were resting on the side were pointing, not knowing what they were talking about.
Although Xie Xiaonian felt that He Hongmei's approach was a little inappropriate, it had nothing to do with him, if he stepped forward to persuade him, he might still complain, so he didn't say anything and went out directly.
"Xiao Nian, you don't want to go up the mountain, with three children, how inconvenient, if I get firewood, I will finish it in a few days after work or when I rest, you don't have to work so hard."
When Xu Zhongjun came back to eat at noon, he saw the firewood drying in the yard and said distressedly.
"It's okay, I didn't get much, so I should take the children out to play, I chop wood very quickly, you don't know! And if I'm at home, He Hongmei will have to stay at home again! Xie Xiaonian said meaningfully.
"Okay then, then don't be tired." Xu Zhongjun admonished.
"Well, I know, don't worry."
"You asked me to ask about chicken feathers and duck feathers in the cafeteria, I asked in the morning, the cooking class said that duck feathers and goose feathers may not be much, and if you have chicken feathers, you can still save some." Xu Zhongjun continued.
"Okay, chicken feathers, anything. What do they say, can it be bought with money? Xie Xiaonian asked.
"They originally wanted to give it to me for nothing, and they threw it away anyway, but we can't take advantage of the country, so I told them that we should buy it with money, tickets, or exchange things. Just a few days later, a leader came to inspect the troops, and their squad leader especially liked your pickled eight-treasure vegetables, saying that they couldn't pickle that kind of taste, so they said that I would exchange them with a pound of eight-treasure vegetables, which was enough for them to entertain the leaders. ”
"That's okay, anyway, there is no shortage of pickles at home, you can move a jar over in the afternoon, they said one catty, we can't just give one catty."
Xie Xiaonian's jar of pickled pickles, the smallest is also five catties, but the pickles are a little effortless and not worth much, and Xie Xiaonian is not distressed when he gives it.
"Okay, I'll send it in the afternoon."
And at Zhang Chunping's house, He Hongmei ate the food cooked by He Shulin, and said complainingly: "Second uncle, what kind of food are you cooking?" Not even a piece of meat! ”
"You think my family is a landlord, and you still eat meat every day, you don't do any work, it's good to have this dish." He Shulin couldn't help but say.
"I'm a guest, how can I let the guests work, since the family can't eat meat often, then second uncle, you can find me a job, and when I have money at work, I will buy you meat to eat." He Hongmei saw that He Shulin was angry, and said hurriedly flatteringly.
"I can't afford to eat your meat, and I don't have the ability to find you a job, so don't think about work, stay at home for a few days, and go back quickly." He Shulin unceremoniously refused.
"I don't care, anyway, my grandmother said to let you find me a job, if you don't find it for me, you will suffer it when the time comes, and you also know my grandmother's temper." He Hongmei threatened.
"Don't talk about your grandmother, even if your father comes, I don't have the ability to find you a job." He Shulin said bluntly.
"Then you ask the second aunt to give me her job." He Hongmei said as a matter of course.
