357 Far from Island(4)
When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at Shi's house, the Shi family had all returned home, the women were cooking in the kitchen under the leadership of Shi's mother, the men were sitting in the yard resting and chatting, and the children were playing in the yard.
Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance made the courtyard quiet, the men stopped chatting, and the children also paid attention to Lin Xiaoxiao's hands.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the Shi family in the courtyard, walked up to Shi's father and asked, "Dad, where is my mother?" ”
Father Shi smoked a homemade cigarette of inferior tobacco rolled in a homework book, flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Your mother is in the kitchen, you can wait." ”
Shi's father was embarrassed to say more to his daughter-in-law, so he shouted out Shi's mother in the courtyard.
Shi Mu supervised her daughter-in-law's cooking in the kitchen, and she sat in the kitchen and stared, mainly for fear that they would steal food. Now every household does not have enough food to eat, and every meal is to measure the rice and then cook it in the pot, and there is not a single grain of rice.
Shimu not only locks the rice, but also does not let her daughter-in-law use too much oil when cooking, and whoever wastes and uses too much will be scolded. When she heard Shi's father shouting at her, she glanced at her daughters-in-law with a warning look, making sure they were all honest before exiting the kitchen.
"Mom, Shi Bin specially asked me to come back to give my father and you a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. This moon cake was specially bought by Shi Bin from Haicheng, you should eat it while it is fresh. This wine is for Dad, sugar is for children, and ......" Lin Xiaoxiao took it out to Shi Mu to see, and only after reading it did he hand over the basket to her.
Shi Mu nodded with satisfaction, with these things, you can also have a good holiday, although there is no meat that can't be oily, but it's better than other people's houses that can't even see the shadow of mooncakes.
"Alright, I'll take the things. It's not early, and I won't keep you, so you go back quickly. After Shi Mu accepted Lin Xiaoxiao's things, she urged her to go back, and she didn't care whether she ate or not.
Lin Xiaoxiao took the empty basket and wanted to say a few polite words, but Shi Mu had already pushed her out. She smiled helplessly and said to her nephew who asked her for candy: "I want to eat candy and ask for your grandmother, but I don't have it." ”
The children dared to ask Lin Xiaoxiao for candy, but they didn't dare to ask Shimu for candy, they could only pray with eager eyes.
What kind of person is Shi Mu, how can she be moved by the eyes of her grandchildren, she waved her big hand to drive the child away, and no one can move these things.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lin Xiaoxiao also followed the village to the market to buy things. She has money in her hands, but unfortunately there are too few good things, and many people are only willing to change things and are unwilling to accept money.
Lin Xiaoxiao bought a hen at the market and bought some vegetables, and she has to make a fire to cook these days.
Lin Xiaoxiao also needs to work with everyone's family when she comes back, but the village still takes care of her, and all the arrangements for her are easy jobs.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't like to go to work, she had only been working for a few days, and she silently followed Aunt Lin to work.
When the village saw her, they inevitably teased her and asked her why she didn't go to work with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and followed her mother-in-law.
Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't like her in-laws, but she doesn't mean to let outsiders see the excitement.
She scolded back on the spot: "My mother-in-law is considerate of me and knows that I will leave after a few days, so is it wrong for me to be so close to my mother's family?" ”
Second Aunt Lin also helped her: "Okay, you people, don't stare at other people's affairs all day long, it's better to calculate your own work when you have time, don't let people miscalculate, and quarrel with the village cadres when you divide the money at the end of the year." ”
"Yo! Whoever is staring at your family's affairs, it's not a matter of rushing to talk about it, it's hard to say a word or two, and it's not a noble person, who he thinks of. "A group of people always have idlers who are not too big to watch the excitement, and even wish that the two sides could fight, and the crowd of onlookers could also take the opportunity to rest more.
Lin Xiaoxiao is not a person who is afraid of quarrels, she joked: "What else do you want to say?" If you have anything to say to the village chief, he arranged it. ”
"Hmph, don't use the village chief to oppress people, I think your mother-in-law doesn't like you, or she won't call you to eat during the holidays, so that you will be alone at home for the holidays." It was the young daughter-in-law who said this, who was not a few years older than Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "My mother-in-law told you that she doesn't like me?" ”
"She didn't say it, but ......"
"Okay, she didn't say anything. If you don't want to see me working, go to the village chief and give advice, I don't want to be with you anymore. Lin Xiaoxiao's work is also decent, a lot of work is not much, she wishes that someone would go to the village chief, it is best to let her relieve the pain of labor.
"What are you guys messing about? Are you done with your work? The grass in the ground is taller than people, and you still have the heart to make a fuss here, don't you want to share the money during the Chinese New Year this year? The team leader who came back from the toilet saw everyone stop and yelled angrily.
Someone looked at the group leader's face and muttered boldly: "How much money was only distributed last year?" It's the same for good and bad, so I might as well rest more. ”
"Look at it, if you don't go to work yet, don't you want to work last year!"
As soon as his words came out, the crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed and pretended to pick up hoes and hoe grass.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Aunt Lin also stood out from the shade of the tree and slowly picked up the hoe and hoeed the grass. A few people who wanted to see Lin Xiaoxiao's jokes and yin and yang sarcastic sarcasm her also picked up tools to work under the pressure of the group leader.
Shi Mu only heard this after finishing work, and her reaction was bigger than Lin Xiaoxiao. She picked up a basin of sewage and went to the little daughter-in-law who said she didn't like Lin Xiaoxiao.
Shi Mu was strong in combat, she stood outside the gate and called the little daughter-in-law out, and a basin of dirt came to her face, which scared the little daughter-in-law to retreat again and again.
"Aunt Shi, what are you doing? What does that mean? The little daughter-in-law asked dissatisfiedly.
"Humph! What do I do? I'll splash dirty water, and you won't say a few words about our family in the future. "Shi Mu splashes water very carefully. Most of the basins of sewage were splashed on the open space in front of the little daughter-in-law, and only a few drops of her body were on her clothes.
Of course, the little daughter-in-law was uncomfortable when she was approached by Shi's mother, but her mother-in-law at home thought that she was causing trouble all day long, not only did not help her, but also pressed her man not to come out.
Shi Mu said that the little daughter-in-law was speechless, and finally like a victorious rooster, she left happily with her head held high.
She didn't forget to go to Lin Xiaoxiao's house when she went home, stood at the door and reprimanded Lin Xiaoxiao again, blaming her for being too useless, and anyone else in the village could bully her.
Lin Xiaoxiao was scolded and had to coax Shimu home with good words, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door. Her mother-in-law doesn't like her to help out, but she agrees with her thoughts, and no matter how much she doesn't get along, she can't let outsiders watch the show.
Shi Mu made a fuss, and the people in the village also reined in for a while, and no longer joked about Lin Xiaoxiao casually. Even if it's a joke, many people don't tell her that when she goes to work, there is an empty circle around her, and no one wants to get too close to her.
