Chapter Forty-Four: Fake Wealth Comes to the Family
The door of the courtyard opened, the guests of the Song family arrived, it was the eldest brother of the Song family of four who arrived, and as soon as the four of them entered the courtyard, Zhai's eyes lit up first, and they were rarely greeted warmly.
Headed by Song Qiao, the eldest brother of the Song family, less than forty years old, thin and tall, with a straight waist, always squinting or lifting his eyelids to look at people, a proud appearance, wearing a dark robe, although the style is old, but the silk fabric, the robe is a little fat, wearing it on his thin body, how to look awkward, there is a sense of immediacy of the local tyrant in the village.
Song Qiao's daughter-in-law is a round woman, her figure is round like a bucket, her face is round like a flatbread, her eyes are squinted like willow leaves, her eyebrows are painted like thick carbon strips, her face is rubbed with a layer of white powder, and she can't help but drop white powder residue with the movement of her body, and her face is coated with two lumps of red rouge, like a monkey's buttocks, and a big yellow golden hairpin on her head looms in the bun, and it is impossible to see clearly.
Mingyue's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she felt that it was not a woman standing in front of her, but a walking virus and bacteria, which could poison people at any time.
Song Baisheng's eldest son, Song Baisheng, is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is a rare boy who combines the advantages of his parents, tall and fat, with bigger eyes, and greasy lips with oily shiny.
The satin robe on Song Baisheng's body is just the opposite of Song Qiao's fat robe, either the materials he bought are not enough, or he has obviously succeeded in fattening, the silk is tightly pressed on the body, and the layers of flesh circles are magnificent, one after another, Mingyue can't help but worry that the silk knot used to spin this robe is not strong, once it is broken, I am so sorry for the spring silkworm that "ends to the end of the dead silk".
Song Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Song family, although the name sounds very bloody, she is the most normal one in the family, Jing Hai cloth skirt, no rouge gouache on her face, a little dark, standing beside her mother, it looks even more white like frost, and the other dark like dust, but it looks very neat. The face is goose-egg-shaped, somewhat thin, and the eyes appear large.
The Zhai family has lived for such a long time, and he is a good person, of course, he understands that at this time, the Song family came to the door, and nine times out of ten they had the intention of getting married, so they naturally set their eyes on Song Jiaojiao.
Song Qiao's daughter-in-law saw Zhai's eyes, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she took out a bright and shiny fine gold hairpin from her arms, and inserted it directly into Song Jiaojiao's bun.
Song Qiao's daughter-in-law smiled at Zhai and said: "Auntie, don't be surprised, this girl is used to doing work at home, so she is not happy to make silk clothes and visit the door, saying that she will marry and take to her mother-in-law's house to honor her in-laws; Let her wear a golden hairpin, she said that the world is not peaceful now, and she can't attract the wind, this baby is careful, if the hairpin is lost, I, the mother, can still bend her, and then buy a big golden step to shake it? ! ”
Mingyue was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said so "lightly and clearly", isn't this Song family still a "hidden wealth", rich and powerful? No, so afraid of being robbed, why don't you buy a "BMW", but hire an ox cart? The family wears silk, why are the shoes cloth instead of leather boots? So why is the family empty-handed?
Song Jiaojiao's face turned green, under the pretext of helping with cooking, she walked directly to the room, and when she arrived at Mingyue's side in front of the door, she naturally took the fire stick and sat in front of the stove to burn the fire.
Mingyue followed in, her eyes looked directly at Song Jiaojiao's hair, although her eyes were straight, it was obviously different from the envious and jealous eyes of other girls, just simple surprise.
Song Jiaojiao's face turned red, and she added firewood to the stove with one hand, and at the same time took off the golden hairpin on her head and put it directly in her arms.
When she raised her eyes, she saw that Mingyue was still staring at her hair with a curious face, scratched her head embarrassedly, put her fingers to her mouth, and gently "shhhhhh ”
Mingyue shook her head in confusion, pointed to Song Jiaojiao's hair and said, "I just want to remind you that there are two gold dust hanging on your hair, and you have to wipe them off." ”
Song Jiaojiao's face turned even redder, she dipped her hands in water, rubbed her hair twice, most of the gold dust was removed, and there was a small wipe left, Song Jiaojiao couldn't see it, Mingyue dipped her hands in it, helped her wipe off the gold dust, and looked at the gold powder on her fingers curiously.
Song Jiaojiao looked at no one on the left and right, and then explained: "Don't be elusive, this hairpin is not a golden hairpin, and this yellow powder is not really gold dust, my mother used an iron rod to grind it to the size of a hairpin, and went to the temple to steal the gold-plated powder on the Buddha's feet, and then re-plated it on the iron hairpin, not plated well, old powder, so my mother always went to scrape the Buddha's feet, and both feet were exposed to mud embryos, and the monks in the temple never let my mother enter the temple to burn incense." ”
Mingyue finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, she was wondering how the gold could lose powder, and there could be this kind of technical operation? She admired Song Jiaojiao and her mother in her heart, and now she has the consciousness of imitation, although she has lost her fans, but everyone in the Yin family, including her, really didn't see it as fake at a glance.
Mingyue asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell me the milk?" ”
Song Jiaojiao smiled indifferently and replied: "Actually, I don't care if you stab it or not, and I don't like my mother, my father and my brother's approach, it's up to me to stab it, it's better for you to stab it, lest they hate me." ”
Mingyue shook her head, it was a promise that Song Jiaojiao would not say it, after all, this matter was just a matter of the value orientation of the Song family, what did it have to do with her? It's like meeting a person on the street who loves vanity and likes to wear imitation brands, you can't tell her with righteous words that her values are distorted, right?
The dishes are all served on the table, and the Zhai family may have the intention to show that his family is now solid, or he may want to be close to the Song family, so the rare dishes are pork stewed cabbage, and the fat meat slices are shiny in the soup, which is indescribably attractive. There is also a dish of fried cucumbers and an egg soup, and the staple food is mixed noodles.
There are two tables, one for men and one for women. As the head of the Yin family, Zhai is also honored to be at the men's table.
On the men's table is stewed cabbage with meat, with more meat and less vegetables; On the women's table was cabbage stew, with more vegetables and less meat, and each person only got a mouthful of soup and a piece of meat in their bowls.
Rao is like this, Song's, Leng's and Mingxia's eating is also very sweet.
A few people in the third room, the taste has been nourished by the bright moon, eat a mouthful of cabbage, as light as water, a mouthful of meat, fat to retain oil, eat a mouthful of mixed noodles wotou, how can there be rice porridge, white flour steamed buns delicate ironing?
Seeing that Mingyang had a cold little face and had no appetite, Song shook the small bowl in front of Mingyang with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Is Yangyang upset?" If you have a bad stomach, the more you eat, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and the aunt eats for you? ”
Mingyang didn't say anything, Mingyue was awakened by a word, the whole family looked like this, the people in the old house were not suspicious, pulled Mingyang's bowl back, and returned it to Mingyang: "Uncle, Mingyang is bitter first and then sweet, and leave the delicious food at the end." ”
Mingyue raised her eyebrows at Mingyang, Mingyang reluctantly put the fat in his mouth, chewed the fat like a punishment, a mouthful of greasy, and finally swallowed the meat, if you eat bitter medicine, where is the "sweet" that Mingyue said? !
Mingyue showed a smiling face at this time, seeing that Leng chewed the meat in the bowl and fed it to Mingyuan, Mingyuan was so happy that he danced, Mingyue really couldn't eat this fatty meat, so he was in a hurry, and gave the meat in his bowl to Leng and said: "Second uncle, Mingyuan has not yet reached his life, you can't eat too much greasy, or you eat more and have more milk is legitimate." ”
Leng glanced at Mingyue gratefully and did not refuse.
When the star saw it, he had an idea, and he learned from Mingyue's appearance, and gave the meat slices to Leng's in a trouble-free way.
Liu smiled with satisfaction and gave the clip in his bowl to the guest Song Jiaojiao, who raised her eyes and smiled, which was regarded as a sign of gratitude.
Mingyang looked at Liu, Mingyue and Xingxing sadly, obviously they couldn't eat light and greasy fatty meat, why in the end, the other three not only didn't have to eat, but also got the gratitude of Leng and Song Jiaojiao, and she was the only one who ate fat as if she was being tortured? The little girl's eyes were full of accusations and complaints against Mingyue.
The Song family looked at Song Jiaojiao and her mother with hope, thinking that these two would give her the meat slices in the bowl just like the Yin family's third room, but she didn't expect that this sister-in-law didn't mean anything to give her. stared at Song Jiaojiao again, Song Jiaojiao sandwiched the two pieces of meat together, and in Song's expectant gaze, she sandwiched it gorgeously into her mouth, eating it smashing and making a sound, biting and spreading oil and water, moistening her lips to greasy.
Song glared at Leng and Liu Niang dissatisfied, and snorted lightly: "Just pretend to be a good person!" There is a person surnamed Han who gives cheap meat, and I don't grab meat to eat! ”
After speaking, he stared at his sister-in-law fiercely and said, "Then 'Fugui' doesn't know how to be reserved!! ”
The sister-in-law of the Song family did not give in, and said with a slight smile: "I don't want to taste the craftsmanship of the sister of the Leng family, if it is made by the sister-in-law, I will not eat it." ”
After speaking, he handed the meat slice to his mouth in front of the Song family, and sighed: "The craftsmanship of the girl of the Leng family is unsatisfactory, and it is a little worse than that of the drunken immortal building in the county." ”
Song was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and took the nest head to the stove to dip the broth on the edge of the pot in the stove.
Liu was so angry by what Song said that Mingyue smiled and held Liu's hand and said: "Mother, don't be angry, I've only heard of dogs biting people, who have heard of people biting dogs, don't be like it." ”
Mingxia's eyes widened when she heard this, the star smiled, and raised her big finger at the eldest sister with a poisonous mouth.
Song Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
