Chapter 17: Oolong

Kou Xi walked into the house in confusion and saw Gao Liman sitting on the kang with his face covered. Huo Dagui sat on the other side, smoking a cigarette.

Kou Xi has been in this house for more than ten years, and when he saw this posture, he knew that Gao Liman was playing with his temper again.

She didn't want to be cannon fodder, so she greeted Li Cuilian with a smile: "I worked for a day, and my clothes were all dust." I'll go back to the house, wash my face, and come back again. ”

Kou Xi hid out and slowly boiled water inside the house to wash his face. Gao Liman couldn't wait and chased after him. When I rushed into Kou Xi's house, I saw her wiping her face with a towel. After wiping his face, he opened another box of 'Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds', picked out a piece and wiped it.

"Kou Xi, why are you going if you don't go to work this afternoon?" Gao Liman looked like he was asking for guilt.

Kou Xi immediately understood that someone must have seen him or Gao Liman himself saw himself carrying his things to the station.

It's just that she doesn't know that she bought things for Huo Jiaojiao?

"You're so thick-skinned!" Gao Liman snorted angrily, "Your family has asked for so many bride prices, and it's not enough to spend? Is your family marrying a daughter or recruiting a son-in-law? Mother-in-law doesn't see you being filial, but you only know how to take your mother-in-law's things to your mother's house!"

Kou Xi didn't bother to explain to her one by one, knowing that even if he broke it and crumpled it, Gao Liman wouldn't listen to it. Simply said provocatively: "I'm like this, what can you do to me? If you have the ability to divide the family, we will each have our own lives in the future, and no one will hinder anyone's eyes!"

"You will also divide the family!" Gao Liman muttered in her heart, since Huo An was preparing to get married, she was looking forward to Huo An and his family being separated.

Unexpectedly, Huo An couldn't follow you, but let Kou Xi kick his nose and face step by step. robbed his own house, and he had to eat the family's food for nothing. But the income of two or three hundred a month turned out to be a dime.

Gao Liman glanced at the things in Kou Xi's house, and thought about the bride price that Huo An had given. I couldn't help but pull Kou Xi: "Let's say that the separation doesn't count, we have to talk to our father." ”

As soon as Gao Liman entered the house, he howled: "Dad, sister-in-law said that she wants to split up!"

Kou Xi rolled his eyes in the back, and walked into the house to see Li Cuilian and Huo Lu were there. She found a stool and sat under the window, watching Gao Liman crying there.

"What kind of separation?" Huo Lu looked shocked and looked at Kou Xi incredulously: "Sister-in-law, why do you want to split up when you are doing well?"

Kou Xi spread his hands and looked innocent: "Second brother, I just came back from work." So he went into the house and washed her face, and your daughter-in-law cried like this. Ask me why I want to break up, I want to know!"

Li Cuilian is eager to split up, so it's best to get Huo An and his family out as soon as possible to save her worries. But Huo An is the eldest son after all, and he is still promising, and he may be able to rely on him in the future. It's not good that it really tore its face, and the family didn't care about it.

"Don't cry, let's talk about what's going on!" Huo Dagui pretended to be confused in his heart, and the family was restless for a day or two. If you don't strangle your words today, you won't be able to fight in the future.

"I'm going to be tired, brother and sister, hurry up. I can't open my tired eyes these days, I really want to go back to the house to rest!" But the newlywed daughter-in-law won't take the initiative to mention it, and it's best to separate little by little.

"Dad, I ask you. You can't watch the old family eat meat, your youngest son can't drink porridge every day!"

Kou Xi rolled his eyes: "I didn't eat the meat at home secretly, I eat pimple soup every day when I come back from work." If there is anything delicious, your son has also come in and eaten it all for me. Don't point fingers at Sang and scold Huai!"

"I saw my sister-in-law carrying a big bag of things to the bus station today. The bulging one, how can he get twenty or thirty dollars? Gao Liman looked at Huo Dagui with an aggrieved face: "I have been married for so many years, and I didn't say that I would take so many things from my mother's family." Dad, what do you call this?"

"What I buy costs my money, my own salary!" Kou Xi pouted with disdain: "If you want to buy it, make money by yourself or ask your man for money." What is it like to compare with me, I didn't ask the old people in the family for money to spend. ”

Gao Liman was angry, and his eyes widened. turned around and shouted at Li Cuilian: "Mom, look at her!"

"Kou Xi!" Li Cuilian stood up and pretended to be very fair: "I said last time, you are young and get so much salary every month, you definitely can't control your indiscriminate purchases." That's why I'm saving money for the two of you! That day, your cousin came to the house and made a big noise, talking as if we were taking a lot of money from the two of you. I'll just give you the money for a few days, and you're buying rice and noodles again, and you're going home for a little bit today. No matter how rich you are, you can't stand spending so much!"

Li Cuilian looked at Huo Dagui: "Dad, tell me about it." Don't be a stepmother to me, as if you are a bully. ”

Huo Dagui stared at Kou Xi: "Kou Xi, it's not that you won't be asked to buy things for your mother's family." What you bought, tell the adults in the family. Besides, you sell 180 yuan a month, which is enough for people like us to spend half a year. Tell me, how much money do you have left?"

Kou Xi raised his face and looked indifferent: "Dad said that day, don't I need rice and white noodles to eat separately? Mom gave me two bowls of white noodles in total, saying that it was enough for me to eat for several days." I'm a chicken, and one bowl of noodles for three days is enough. Since my family didn't give it to me, I bought some food to eat myself, and I broke the law? I made delicious food, but I didn't give it to the children at home, or did I not bring you a bowl?"

Kou Xi sneered and stared at Huo Dagui: "The oil shuttle left over from my refining lard is only a little bit in total." Mixed cabbage and baked five or six pies. Who in our family didn't eat it? Huo Lu didn't eat it or did you and my mother not eat it?" Kou Xi looked at Gao Liman: "My brother and sister have eaten the most, let's eat two." ”

Huo Dagui looked at Li Cuilian in surprise: "You gave a total of two bowls of noodles?"

Li Cuilian looked wronged: "The noodle bag is not locked, she can take it herself if she wants to eat." What else can I do? ”

Huo Dagui's face became extremely ugly, and he saw that the warehouse at home was locked all day long. The rice, flour, grain and oil are all packed in the warehouse, and if Kou Xi can go in and take it out, there will be ghosts.

"You should buy food, tell me how much it will cost in total, and I will reimburse you when I turn around!" Li Cuilian couldn't sit still now, and Gao Liman's hair was about to burn with anger.

"Does that mean that you have to be reimbursed for the things you bought for your mother's family?"

Kou Xi sneered: "I didn't steal something for my mother's family!" Gao Liman thought she was going to lie, and jumped to the sky: "I saw you buy it, and you took it to the bus station." The little shadow in the front yard has also seen it! She can testify to me."

Kou Xi sneered and said to Huo Dagui: "Today, the eldest sister will take the car home in the afternoon." I bought something for her to take back. ”

"If you don't believe it, call over there and ask me what I bought for my eldest sister. Kou Xi pouted: "I didn't want to say it originally." ”

She looked at Gao Liman: "You said that you are too picky as a younger sister, and the eldest sister bought so many things and came back." Are you embarrassed to let her go back empty-handed? What does your mother-in-law think of her, and she doesn't laugh at her? Duoduo can even snatch a chicken leg from her mouth when she eats a chicken leg at her grandmother's house, can you be a little more ashamed?"
