"Oh, sister-in-law, I can't see it. Gao Liman hugged his daughter and looked at the stack of steamed cakes on the kang table, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a large pot of radish and tofu ball soup.

Raised his eyebrows sourly: "Don't you know how to cook?" I usually wash vegetables and peel onions, but I don't see that you can pancakes!"

Kou Xi took a steamed cake and put shredded potatoes in it. handed the shredded potato burrito to Huo Tianyi, looked at his dirty little hands and said with a smile: "Go and wash your hands, otherwise you will eat it and make your stomach up." ”

Facing the gentle Kou Xi, Huo Tianyi was rarely obedient. A cigarette climbed down the kang, ran to the washbasin shelf and washed his hands honestly. A well-behaved appearance walked up to Kou Xi and sat next to her honestly. Holding shredded potato burritos in one hand and holding chopsticks in the other hand and eating the poached eggs in the bowl.

"Sister-in-law, add some green onions and sauce to your burrito. It's so tasteless to eat!" Gao Liman, who was sitting next to him and holding his sleeping daughter, felt empty when he watched his son eat deliciously. But he was too embarrassed to open his mouth to ask for it, so he could only pick a thorn on the side.

"Tian Yi is young and can't eat too much salty and spicy. Kou Xi smiled and said softly to Tianyi: "It's not that Auntie won't let you eat, but I'm afraid of stimulating your stomach." Can Tianyi understand?"

Huo Tian nodded again and again, now he likes the eldest lady the most. Always bring him good food, and I will give him good food. It's much better than his mom who always scolds him.

"Are shredded potatoes delicious?" Kou Xi asked with a smile: "If you like to eat it, my aunt will make it for you when you get off work tomorrow." Now you eat more meatballs, drink more water, eat less, don't make it!"

Seeing that his son and sister-in-law are very close to each other, Gao Liman is very unhappy. Hearing Kou Xi asking his son to eat less, he couldn't help but shout: "Sister-in-law, why are you picking so much." The potatoes are from the family, and the noodles are also from the family, and I just said that my son is the eldest grandson of the old Huo family. I can't bear this plate of broken shredded potatoes now?"

"Didn't you eat in the afternoon? Here you had a poached egg, a big bowl of meatballs, and a big burrito. After a while, you have to sleep, just sleep like this, aren't you afraid of accumulating food?" Kou Xi's rhetorical question made Gao Liman speechless again.

muttered, "I see that you have made so much, if you can't eat it, it won't taste good tomorrow." ”

Kou Xi knew what she was thinking, and rolled all the shredded potatoes on the plate into the last piece of cake. said with a smile: "You send this to my sister-in-law, she is hungry when she does her homework at night." ”

Huo Tianyi was full of food and drink, and his spirit was excellent. Pointing to the pot of soup with some bottom left, he said, "I also want to give my sister-in-law some meatballs!"

Kou Xi touched his head: "Tianyi is really the most well-behaved and obedient child." Then I'll take the meatball soup, you take the burrito, and we'll go and bring food to my sister-in-law. Okay, okay?"

The two of them got off the kang and didn't even leave the last bit of leftovers for Gao Liman.

The two entered the hall, and Kou Xi saw Huo Xinyu lying on the dining table writing homework.

Huo Tianyi ran over with his little short legs, holding a shredded potato burrito and handed it to Huo Xinyu: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is for you!"

Kou Xi also put the bowl of hot soup with two or three balls next to Huo Xinyu. Seeing Huo Dagui and Li Cuilian's curious faces, he smiled and said, "Tianyi had a meal at my place, saying that he thought the radish balls I made were delicious and wanted to bring them to my sister-in-law." ”

"He's a sensible child!" Li Cuilian saw that her grandson was so well-behaved, and naturally felt that her face was shining.

"Dad, Mom!" Kou Xi said with a light smile on his face: "I thought about it for a while, I usually eat two meals at home." You will eat at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and even if you leave me food and wait for me to get home, it will be cold. Why don't I just start the fire myself, and I'll come home from work and eat a pimple soup and noodles by myself!"

Of course, Huo Dagui couldn't agree, waved his hand and said, "That's not good, the family has to eat together." He pointed to Huo Xinyu and said, "Your sister lives in the school, and there is nothing to do at home." After three meals, you will go home to eat and live in the heart of the rain, and you can just save some accommodation fees!"

Huo Xinyu usually eats and lives in school in order to have a better learning environment. In the matter of Huo Xinyu's reading, Huo Dagui and Li Cuilian's attitudes are surprisingly consistent. As long as she works hard, the family will continue to provide for it. So even though the middle school is in the town, the family also let Huo Xinyu live in the school.

If Kou Xi wanted to have dinner for himself, he would make Huo Xinyu a day student. When it comes to the final exam, if Huo Xinyu's grades decline, she Kou Xi will be the big sinner of the Huo family.

Thinking of this, Kou Xi smiled: "That's not good, I'll just have a bite of rice and a steamed bun." Xinyu is now in middle school, and it is the time to be busy with studying, and she can't relax. Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and you can't give up at the most critical time. ”

She looked at Huo Xinyu: "On weekends, you will have a holiday and come home to wash your clothes and take a bath." Take a good rest and I'll make you something tasty. Don't relax, my sister-in-law thinks you don't understand the importance of going to school at this time. So I especially hope that you have a great future, and now the focus of the whole family's life is you. If I confess you, your brother will be happy!"

Huo Xinyu didn't say anything, Li Cuilian hurriedly shouted: "Your sister-in-law said so, you will still study hard in school in the future." He said to Kou Xi again: "In the future, you can come over for dinner in the morning, and go back in the evening to cook it yourself." Anyway, you have to burn the kang in that house!"

Li Cuilian made up her mind not to give her Kou Xi a single thing. There is one less person in the family to eat, and in the future, she can cook for her eldest grandson, which is the best of both worlds.

Even if this matter was settled like this, Kou Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. patted Huo Xinyu on the shoulder and returned to his room with a smile.

Before getting off work the next day, Kou Xi carried a large bag to buy things in the unit in an extremely exaggerated manner.

Usually, when buying grain, you have to take the grain book to the grain depot in the town to buy it, and the price there is much cheaper than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives and materials. It's just that the grain depot has a regulation, and each household has a certain amount of money per month. If it exceeds this catty, some people can only find someone to approve the strip and buy it. If there is no one, they can only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and spend high prices on materials.

Kou Xi intended to let others know that she had shared a meal with her in-laws, so she naturally bought things in the unit with great fanfare.

Ten catties of white flour, eight cents and five cents a piece, ten catties of rice, two pieces and five cents, ten catties of cornmeal, one cent and seven cents a piece, two catties of old vinegar, four cents and six cents a piece, one bottle of soy sauce, one piece of zero seven cents, one pound of sugar, one piece of seven cents and four cents. I bought two more pieces of soap, eight cents and eight cents. In addition, I bought a large piece of lard and prepared to refine it for the evening, and this piece of lard cost five yuan.

More than 30 catties of things were sent home by bicycle with the help of colleague Zhou Hong. Along the way, many people who knew each other knew that the newly married daughter-in-law of the Huo family had started a new business.
