Chapter 8 My Aunt Visits
"Mom, I'm back."
As he opened the door, he shouted happily into the house.
"Xiaomeng is back, come in, come in."
Listen to this loud voice to know who is in the house.
"Hello aunt!"
Looking at the slightly obese but very energetic rural woman in front of me, with her dress, she looked a little shrewd, I said hello perfunctorily.
My uncle was my grandfather's only son, and when they were young, the family conditions were not good, everyone in the family ate coarse grains, and the only bowl of white rice was given to my uncle, which shows his love for him. My mother was angry with my uncle when she was a child, and later married a shrewd aunt, and during the years I lived at my grandmother's house, my life was not easy. So now in the face of the "enthusiastic" aunt, I really can't arouse my interest.
"How is Xiaomeng doing? When I was discharged from the hospital, my family was busy, and I didn't have time to come to see you, don't blame your aunt! ”
As he spoke, he was about to take my hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's almost fine. Auntie, you drink tea! ”
I hurriedly answered, and turned to take a cup of tea and handed it to her outstretched hands, avoiding the embarrassment that was yet to come.
"Good, good, good, really good, it's not in vain that I have loved you for so many years."
My aunt said with a grin.
"Well, then thank you again here. Mom, let's eat, I'm hungry. ”
I told my mom that I didn't want to continue this kind of hypocrisy.
"Okay, let's start dinner right away, come over and help set the table."
"Okay."
Originally, the meal was ready, but now it is just brought to the table, the dishes and chopsticks are set, and the meal starts in a few minutes. A spicy chicken, a stir-fried vegetables, a tomato and egg soup, there are meat and vegetarian soups, which are very mother's style.
"His aunt's skills are really good, she deserves to be a nanny for others outside, this craft, maybe the head of the family is reluctant to let you go."
"Generally, if you like it, you can eat as much as you like, and I will make it for you every day."
"Then I'll take it seriously, I'll come up to eat every day in the future, don't drive me away!"
"I'm just afraid that you won't come, so bring Xiao Ming with you then!"
"Okay."
After this greeting, I really admired my aunt, first said that my mother was a nanny back then, and then immediately praised her for her good cooking skills. Whoever says that rural women are uneducated, I think they can chat more than anyone else.
"His aunt, you're having a prosperous life these days, where are you like us, alas~"
"Wherever we are, we just get by."
I chuckled in my heart, this rhythm, something to ask for! In my dream, just a few days after I was discharged from the hospital, she came to the door.
"It's still passable, so what kind of life is our family called it? Xiao Ming's father is not in good health, and he can't do any farm work..."
"What's wrong with Xiao Ming's father, is he sick again?"
My mom asked anxiously.
"No, no, it's still the same, I can only keep it, young master!"
My aunt said sourly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Eat quickly, don't just talk. ”
"Oh, good!"
My aunt said unsatisfactorily, and after two bites of rice, I felt that there was no longer the previous taste.
"Aunt his, you also know, we are repairing the house now, and now we are a little short of money, do you see if you have any spare money left, borrow me first, and when you have plenty of money after a while, I will pay you back?"
My aunt finally said what she wanted.
"You know, most of my money is pressed in the goods, some time ago Xiaomeng was sick and hospitalized, and spent a lot of money, and now there is not much left in my hand, and we have to continue to live. Tell me how much you're missing, and I'll see if it's enough. ”
Originally, my aunt's eyes were dimmed, and there was still a hint of complaining. But hearing my mother's words seemed to rekindle hope, and hurriedly said:
"There are still 30,000 yuan left."
"That's not enough. I can still squeeze out a maximum of 10,000 yuan here, can you see if you can ask Xiao Ming if his aunt still has it. ”
"Oh, okay, then let's borrow 10,000 first. I'll think of something else. ”
My aunt said with a little loss.
The food after the meal didn't taste good, so I ate it hastily and went back to my room to rest.
