Chapter 16: Someone is unhappy
The hand placed under the table was held, Liu Man'er wanted to withdraw her hand, but the person held it tighter, she glared sideways, but Ye Yuan was already looking forward with a straight face, as if he didn't see her eyes.
There is some anger, but there is nowhere to vent. Liu Man'er could only glare at him hatefully, and turned her gaze back to the table in front of her.
"Come, come, eat." Fang brought a large pot of rice over today, although there were some sweet potatoes on it, it was much better than the previous sweet potato porridge.
"Today we are all stained with the light of Man'er, but I heard Xiaohe say, Man'er is very good today, and he will play monkey." Fang Shi said happily, "So, I'm cooking white rice for you today."
As she spoke, she put most of the sweet potatoes on it into her bowl, and then picked up the rice bowl and served it to everyone.
Everyone has some sweet potatoes in their bowls, but Liu Man'er's bowl is a large bowl of white rice.
"Man'er, you did well today, this is your mother's reward for you." Fang said with a smile.
Liu Man'er looked at the bowl of sweet potatoes in Fang's bowl, and her heart was blocked again, because they doubted themselves before, and some unhappy bad moods also disappeared.
"Mother, let's change, I like sweet potatoes." Liu Man'er handed over her bowl and took the bowl in front of Fang's family.
She is also a person who eats too much white rice, and people like the Fang clan must eat rice several times throughout the year.
Although the sweet potatoes are hungry, they are not worth much in the country, and it is already spring, and the sweet potatoes in the cellar smell of rot when they are cooked, and they are really not delicious.
Liu Man'er didn't wait for Fang to speak, and stuffed the sweet potato into her mouth, but soon, the rancid smell made her almost want to vomit.
But she endured.
"Man'er, be good, you can eat, my mother will eat sweet potatoes." Fang's really didn't treat Liu Man'er as an outsider, Liu Man'er was honest, she had never seen such a good mother-in-law, and for Fang's sake, she also had to eat this bowl of sweet potatoes.
Although this sweet potato is not valuable, it is also food.
A grain of grain, a drop of sweat, there is no waste in the countryside.
"Mother, eat it, this sweet potato is very delicious, mother, your craftsmanship is really good." Liu Man'er was like a child, praising Fang's family.
Fang smiled slightly, knowing that this was Liu Man'er's filial piety, so he didn't say much, just silently picked up the bowl in front of him.
God bless, now my stupid daughter-in-law has become so well-behaved, thank God!
After being sick for a while, and then his temperament changed drastically, this thing also happened in the countryside, and the Fang family only regarded it as God's blessing, and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Liu Man'er is not afraid of what others suspect, this face is here, as for the core change, who can know?
What's more, the original owner is not very stupid, just a little stupid.
She changed slowly, and when the time came, everything was just due to Ye Yuan's teachings.
"Eat more." At the dinner table, Fang's kept picking vegetables for Liu Man'er, and a sharp point could emerge from Liu Man'er's bowl.
At this time, Ye Yuan picked up a roe deer leg from the bowl and handed it to her, "Oh, you did well today, this is the roe deer leg I promised to reward you." ”
Liu Man'er had already eaten a steamed bun on the street today, but she couldn't eat so much, she looked at Liu Fusheng who was sitting in the corner of the table, and sandwiched the roe deer leg into Liu Fusheng's bowl, "Come, Fusheng, this is for you to eat." ”
Liu Fusheng was a little flattered.
Liu Man'er smiled slightly, it stands to reason that she should give it to Ye He, but Ye He is the Ye family after all, but Liu Fusheng is different, no matter how good the Ye family is to him, he is also an outsider in his heart, he has always been precocious, he is kind to him, and let him know that his heart is towards him.
"Fusheng, you're growing your body now, eat more." When Fang saw Liu Man'er's movements, he immediately began to pick vegetables for Fusheng.
"Thank you, Auntie." Liu Fusheng whispered.
Ye Yuan heard it and said, "Since you have followed your sister to our Ye family, it is naturally our Ye family, you will call me eldest brother in the future, as for the aunt in your mouth, you can just call us your mother with us in the future." ”
Liu Fusheng was young and felt that this relationship was a little complicated, so he asked, "Then what do I call my sister?" ”
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You naturally call her sister-in-law." ”
"Then I don't call her sister, I call her sister-in-law like Ye He?" Liu Fusheng still didn't understand.
"Well, except for your surname Liu, you are no different from Ye He in other aspects, and in addition, you can't call Xiaohe Ye He, you have to call her the fourth sister." Ye Yuan taught.
"yes, I see." Liu Fusheng nodded heavily, and his voice inexplicably became lighter.
"Fusheng, you see how happy you are now, there will be three more brothers and one sister in the future."
Liu Man'er is still quite moved by what Ye Yuan did, but she has changed from the role of a sister to a sister-in-law? That's a little weird.
"Alright, let's eat." As soon as Ye Yuan spoke, a table of people began to eat again.
Ye Qing didn't speak the whole time, although he had no objection to Ye Yuan's words, but he was always a little reluctant in his heart.
The family is already so poor, there is another woman, a child, and now the eldest brother has picked up a child as a son.
He felt a headache just thinking about it.
But he is only the second child, and he has no right to speak, since his mother has no objections, then what else can he say?
And in the past, Ye Yuan was the backbone of the family to make money, and when he was a soldier outside, the family's silver expenditure depended on Ye Yuan.
Now that the eldest brother has returned, working as much as they do, he has more thoughts in his heart.
Forget it, after all, it's his big brother.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Ye Qing continued to pick up the rice in his bowl.
Looking at most of the sweet potatoes in his bowl, and the sweet potatoes in Liu Fusheng's little ghost bowl were almost two pieces, he was a little angry.
If you can't work, you know how to eat!
"No more!" Quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl, Ye Qing threw his chopsticks and left.
"Qing'er, aren't you eating? Eat more. Fang shouted.
Ye Qing ignored her, walked out of the house sullenly, picked up the hoe and went to work.
"Ye Qing, come out to work so early?" On the way, people who met him greeted Ye Qing one after another.
"yes." Ye Qing nodded sullenly.
Someone looked at him with some sympathy and said, "Your mother is really, even if she bought a stupid daughter-in-law, she also helped others raise her son, but let her own son be a cow and a horse." ”
When Ye Qing heard this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
He came out early, just to let others see how ignorant and stupid his mother-in-law is!
But among the people who were eating in the house, except for Liu Fusheng, who lowered his head, the others didn't care about him at all.
Ye Qing got up and left, but Liu Man'er beckoned instead, letting Liu Fusheng sit in Ye Qing's place, she said: "Fusheng, you don't have to keep your head down, these people are your family, you know?" If there's anything, just tell your sister or your mother. ”
Liu Man'er still can't call herself sister-in-law in front of Liu Fusheng, after all, this is her own brother, she is not as open-minded as Ye Yuan, and the relationship is so disordered.
"Okay." Liu Fusheng nodded.
In fact, after Ye Qing left, he felt more comfortable eating, otherwise, he always felt that someone had set his eyes on him, making him feel uncomfortable.
Liu Man'er selected all the rice in her bowl, and then ate the sweet potatoes in the bowl with difficulty, she really didn't want to eat it.
Why, why is there so little rice in Fang's bowl, it's really embarrassing for Fang's, this is really a hardworking and kind woman.
In my heart, fortunately, today's dishes are not bad, otherwise she will not be able to eat enough for this meal.
Looking at the dish in front of her, she took the chopsticks and went to insert the sweet potatoes in her bowl, however, she felt that the chopsticks were empty, and when she looked down, her bowl was replaced by half a bowl of white rice.
And Ye Yuan, who was beside him, was silently eating the sweet potatoes she couldn't eat.
When did he change his bowl? Liu Man'er didn't come to her senses for a long time, looked at him, and then at him, but this man always seemed to have not noticed her gaze, and still calmly ate the sweet potatoes in his bowl.
Forget it, it's a fool not to eat the food that comes to your door.
Liu Man'er picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the rice, but she thought that she had vowed to take good care of him two days ago, why did this turn turned into him taking care of himself?
I don't understand.
He was eating the sweet potato she had just eaten, did he want to prove that he really didn't dislike her?
Liu Man'er thought of it privately, but she couldn't think of a result.
Forget it, don't think about it yourself, it's really useless to think about these things.
Sullenly ate the rice in the bowl, Liu Man'er helped clean up the table together, and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
However, Fang asked her to go to see the child, saying that she was not needed for this.
Liu Man'er went out obediently, and when she walked to the door, she saw Ye Yuan, who was tall and deliberately walked slowly, as if he was waiting for her.
"Are you going to see Chen'er too?" Liu Man'er asked.
"Hmm." Ye Yuan spit out a word.
"I won't be angry with you about today's matter, you can eat more by yourself in the future, otherwise don't starve your eight-foot word into a bamboo pole." As she passed by him, Liu Man'er said.
"Heh......"
Ye Yuan laughed, he reached out and rubbed Liu Man'er's head, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and don't do something to hurt your family, I won't beat you." ”
"I see." Liu Man'er just said it casually, but she didn't expect him to really take it seriously, and even explained it to her so seriously.
Looking at his serious eyes, with a little scorching fire in them, Liu Man'er couldn't help but feel nervous, and walked quickly into Fang's room, sitting on the edge of the small cradle, looking at the child placed inside.
