Chapter 16 The Impossible of Separation
As soon as the old man's words fell, Lin Tong saw the men and children eating noodles with bowls, and Mother Xu picked up the big cake and started eating.
Men eat noodles, but women can only eat big cakes, Lin Tong is very dissatisfied.
No matter how poor you are, you have been liberated for decades, why are you still so patriarchal and look down on women?
Wang Guihua and Li Yubo, one came in with a large plate of cornmeal flatbread in his hand, Lin Tong hurriedly straightened up and reached out to take the plate and put it on the kang, and let it in, "Sit down and eat!" ”
"No," Wang Guihua waved his hand hurriedly, "Let's just stand here and eat." ”
Lin Tong was a little surprised, they were not waiters, they were sitting by themselves, others were standing, she felt a little uncomfortable, pointed to the edge of the kang and said: "What are you doing standing, come up and let's squeeze, you can sit down on the edge of this kang!" ”
Li Yubo smiled and said, "Then I'll squeeze it here!" Saying that, she sat on the edge of the kang with her ass half-pulled, and Lin Tong hurriedly gave way in, the place was too small, and she could only give up half of her body back.
After Li Yubo sat down, he didn't let anyone, took a cornmeal flatbread and gnawed it, Wang Guihua glanced at his man, and saw that the man didn't look at him, he was scooping cabbage soup into the noodle bowl, and she quickly picked up the flatbread.
was about to send it to his mouth, but when he saw Lin Tong still looking at it stupidly, he reached out and took a big cake and handed it to her, "Why doesn't my sister-in-law eat it?" Hurry up and eat, the big cake will be gone in a while! ”
Lin Tong looked at the big table where he was immersed in eating, and then looked at Xu Nian, this kid ate the noodles in the bowl one by one, and he didn't even order food, but he ate very deliciously.
Lin Tong looked sad, and also wanted to scoop some cabbage soup into his bowl, although there were only cabbage strips and vermicelli in the soup, and the soup was clear and could shine on people's faces, and there was no oil at all, but it was better than this dry and tasteless noodles.
It's just that she just talked to her two younger brothers-in-law, and the cabbage soup has bottomed out, so she feels a little breathless in her heart, is Xu Zhenhua a dead person? Do you only know that you have enough to eat, and you don't even know how to take care of your own son?
However, when she saw that Xu Zhenhua's bowl was also the same across the water, her anger dissipated strangely, and she secretly complained, why didn't she know how to scoop some into her bowl!
Then the shredded potatoes on the plate also bottomed out, the way of eating the wind and clouds of this family, she was dumbfounded, is this a meal? This is clearly a rush to eat!
These people are too good to eat!
In addition to Xu Zhenhua and his son, the old lady and the old man ate a little more civilized.
She sneered, simply cheeky, and picked up the shredded potato plate with one hand, which caused several pairs of eyes to look at her at the same time, making her heart furious, and said curtly: "I'll pull some food for Xiao Nian." ”
Covered the noodles with a layer of shredded potatoes, the shredded potatoes were empty, she just wanted to put the plate aside, Li Yubo grabbed it, "Sister-in-law don't want it, right?" I don't want it," she explained, seeing her puzzled gaze, "There is a lot of oil in this potato, and it is just eaten with a large cake." ”
Lin Tongmo, the bottom of the plate was really clean, and she didn't see any oil splashes, so this is also called "a lot of oil"?
Watching Li Yubo break the big cake and dip it on the bottom of the plate, the gobbling momentum was no worse than that of her man, and she really admired it.
Not only Li Yubo, but also Wang Guihua is a mouthful of big cakes, a mouthful of pickle strips, and they eat fragrantly.
Even the two girls were eating fast, and they were already eating with a big cake in their hands.
Only Xu Nian slowly sent noodles to his mouth, and the noodles and shredded potatoes entered his mouth, and he would chew them for a while before swallowing them.
She now knows why Xu Nian is so thin, in the Xu family, eating is basically robbed, Xu Nian, this child is timid and shy, and he eats slowly, so it's strange that he can grab it?
She was already smoked and had no appetite, and she had no appetite at all when she looked at the pickle sticks and sauce left on the table, as well as the big cakes in her hand.
However, she is not stupid, she knows whether to eat it or not, I am afraid that she will be hungry for a while and have nothing, so she will not put down this big cake.
There are not many bowls of noodles, and everyone takes a big cake after a few bites, eating noodles with one hand and holding a large cake with the other, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to grab it when it is too late.
Lin Tong noticed that Xu Zhenhua only ate a bowl of noodles, and she still had a sauce on the surface of the water, and she wanted to get him a big cake, but the plate was already empty.
Mother Xu hadn't said anything since she was eating, and when she had a big cake, she said to Lin Tong, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Xu Lao Er stared at the big cake in her hand, "Sister-in-law, if you don't eat it, give it to me, I haven't eaten yet!" ”
Of course Lin Tong wouldn't give it to him, he subconsciously hid his hand holding the big cake under the table, stretched out his right hand and grabbed a few pickle sticks, "I'm not very comfortable, I'll eat it when I go back." ”
The meal took less than ten minutes, and there were no pickle strips left, and the sauce bowl was also cleaned by Xu Laoer, as if it had been washed.
In her previous life, the information was so developed, and Lin Tong had also seen people with difficult lives, but she could eat like a war, and she still saw her for the first time.
Through this meal, she came to a conclusion that this place is really poor, not fake.
After eating, Wang Guihua and Li Yubo picked up the table, she was about to help, but was stopped by the old lady, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you wait a while." ”
She looked at the old lady in bewilderment.
Mother Xu's face is long, Lin Tong slandered in his heart, this face will be cloudy and sunny for a while, it is really difficult to understand, and I don't know how the original owner got along with her?
"That, now you are also the daughter-in-law of our old Xu family, there are some things I have to make clear to you in advance."
Lin Tong thought to himself, it's already like this, is it still called "beforehand"?
Mother Xu glanced at her eldest son, "When your mother left this afternoon, she offered to make you a new set of clothes, I agreed, no matter what, you are also a new daughter-in-law, and new clothes should also be made." However, your mother also said that you should take Xiao Nian out for another time, do you know about this? ”
Xu Zhenhua glanced at Lin Tong with some surprise, she was happy in her heart, but she also knew that this would be impossible for a while, so she shook her head in disappointment, and said honestly, "I don't know." ”
It seems that the old lady will be cloudy for a while and sunny for a while, because of this.
It must have been Lin Tong's mother's request for "separation" that made her angry.
However, Lin Tong has some warmth in her heart, although sometimes this mother-in-law is very weak, but her heart for her daughter is sincere.
When her daughter got married, the two conditions she put forward were for her daughter's good, and none of them were for her own welfare.
This is rare for such a patriarchal and poor family.
