CHAPTER XXV
"Auntie, you're back." Zhao Feifei was in a good mood, and when she saw that the people who worked in the Zhou family had come back, she poured a glass of water for Mrs. Zhou.
This water is still boiled boiled water that Zhao Feifei boiled when she was thirsty, no way, no one at this time had the idea of boiling water first, whoever was thirsty and wanted to drink water, they all took the water scoop and scooped water directly from the well to drink.
However, this is also normal, people at this time are more concerned about being able to eat, and if you want to be full, you need food, since you want food, you have to go to work to earn centimeters, and at the end of the year, you can receive more food, so that you can be full. Therefore, at this time, people are all in the ground, so naturally they have no extra time to toss these things that seem dispensable to them.
That is, Zhao Feifei really couldn't stand this situation, and she didn't dare to drink it directly without boiling water, for fear that it would not be clean, so she simply started directly.
As for why Zhao Feifei didn't help the Zhou family cook, this is more normal. At this time, food is the most important material in the family, and you can't lose a grain of food if you lose anything, all the food is locked in the cupboard, and only the person in charge of the family can hold the key.
Even when it's time to cook, the head of the house has to open the cabinet door and carefully take out the ration according to the number of people. At this time, whoever holds the power of food in the family is the one who is in charge.
In such a situation, even if Zhao Feifei was embarrassed to eat white food and wanted to help do something, the people of the Zhou family did not dare to let Zhao Feifei get involved in the kitchen at home.
"Oh, Feifei, you're a guest, how can you do these things? Drop it, put it down. For Mrs. Zhou, who wants to make Zhao Feifei and her youngest son together, she is determined to make Zhao Feifei feel that their family is a good person to her, how can she let Zhao Feifei do any housework.
If Zhao Feifei thinks that the Zhou family is the same as other ordinary people, who can look down on the boring character of the third child of her family.
"It's okay, auntie." Zhao Feifei was speechless, didn't she just serve a glass of water, how could she become 'doing these things', "It's just a cup of water, it's not a big deal." ”
"Okay, that's done, but we have the work inside and outside the house, so we don't need you a little girl to do it." Mrs. Zhou reluctantly agreed, but she still told Zhao Feifei uneasily. She can see that this girl is not a person who likes to take advantage. Although this temperament is good, she is also very satisfied, but this is not conducive to her third child chasing other girls.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou suddenly felt that it seemed good to like to be cheap, and it was not bad to be lazy, at least she didn't have to worry about Zhou Yang's problem of begging for a daughter-in-law now.
It's just that Mrs. Zhou herself understands that if Zhao Feifei is such a lazy person, no matter how good she looks and how good her family conditions are, she can't look down on her. As for the person before, even if she looks good, she also looks down on her, if it weren't for her youngest son, she wouldn't have given her a good face.
Who knows, even if this is the case, that person still dares to make his own family ugly, so that his third child wears a green hat, if she finds an opportunity, see if she doesn't teach her a lesson, she won't be surnamed Zhou.
"By the way, auntie, this is for you." Zhao Feifei smiled and didn't say anything, but ran back to the room and brought over a bag of rice she had prepared in advance.
"What is this?" Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhao Feifei strangely, she also knew that Zhao Feifei didn't bring such a cloth bag when she came, why did she suddenly ......
Could it be that she found relatives, and this is a thank you gift to say goodbye to them? No, if that's the case, the poor third child of her family will really be lonely for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou's whole person was not good, and she had a bitter face in an instant, as if she was going to cry in the next second, looking at Zhao Feifei pitifully, if Zhao Feifei said that she was going to leave in the next second, she could cry in an instant, anyway, no matter what, she couldn't let Zhao Feifei go.
"This is my food bill during this time." Zhao Feifei said embarrassedly, "It's just that this cloth bag was found in the yard, and I don't have any extra bags to hold here." ”
Zhao Feifei didn't notice Mrs. Zhou's pretense, but squatted down and opened the bag by herself. As a result, when Zhao Feifei stood up, she was suddenly frightened by Mrs. Zhou's strange appearance.
"Auntie, what are you? What's wrong? ”
"Feifei, what did you just say? I don't seem to hear clearly, auntie. Mrs. Zhou looked at the white and fine rice in the bag, and asked in an unsteady tone.
"I'm sorry, auntie, I took the cloth bag in your house without your consent." Zhao Feifei thought that Mrs. Zhou was asking her about the bag, she also knew a little about the situation in this era, everything was counted, and she took a bag that people didn't know what to use for to fill the food, which seemed to be too much.
I knew it earlier, so I would have waited for the people of the Zhou family to borrow a bag from them when they came back from the finish, and now I don't have to be so embarrassed.
"No, I mean it's in the bag." Mrs. Zhou is also very helpless, is this girl's focus wrong, just a bag, what's the matter.
"Oh, that's my food bill." Zhao Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "I've been disturbing my aunt's house for several days, and I can't just eat and drink for nothing, not to mention waiting for the household registration to come down, so it's embarrassing to disturb my aunt's house." ”
Zhao Feifei also wanted to give money to the Zhou family, but who let her not have the money of this era - great unity, she could only use food to offset it first, fortunately, people at this time paid more attention to food, and it would not be too rude to think about rice, a fine grain.
"You stupid girl." Mrs. Zhou nodded Zhao Feifei's forehead, bent down again to help tie the rice bag, and said, "What a rare thing this rice is, don't take it out like this in the future." ”
"Auntie, this is my food expenses, I can't always eat and drink for nothing in your house, and I haven't helped with any housework, if I continue like this, I will be ashamed to die, where can I dare to live anymore." Zhao Feifei hurriedly stopped Mrs. Zhou's movements, just like this, she didn't even do any housework, so she could only find something else to subsidize the Zhou family, otherwise she wouldn't have been so cheeky to stay at someone's house.
"You girl, there is no shortage of food like you at home." Mrs. Zhou really thinks that the current life is much better than in the disaster year, at least she can eat enough, who made her family have more strong labor, and a son who eats food.
"Anyway, it's all on my mind." Zhao Feifei insisted, "Besides, my aunt and Comrade Zhou Yang have helped me so much, it's just a few catties of rice, and it's not a valuable thing, it's not worth it." ”
"You, if you really want to pay for the family's food, it's already good to get a few catties of sorghum flour, cornmeal, etc., it's really not so good." Mrs. Zhou was still very satisfied when she saw Zhao Feifei so persistent, which showed that Zhao Feifei still thought about them in her heart, otherwise she would not have taken out such good food.
In fact, for Zhao Feifei, she eats rice and white noodles every day, and these things are really nothing, if she is not afraid of being too out of line, she is willing to take out the 40 catties of rice she bought. It's really the corn paste that the Zhou family has eaten in the past two days, and Zhao Feifei has really eaten enough.
You must know that the corn flour used to make corn paste is not the fine corn flour that we eat now with corn kernels, it is said to be coarse grain, but it is not a corn flour that is not awkward at all. Instead, the whole corn is ground together with the corn cob inside, which is a real coarse grain, and I don't dare to grind it too finely, otherwise it will be easy to digest and make it easier to starve.
This kind of corn paste, how can Zhao Feifei's stomach and intestines that are used to eating rice and white noodles be unbearable, even her throat can't stand it.
It's just that Zhao Feifei had no food in her hands at that time, and she didn't have the confidence to refuse this corn paste, otherwise she would be hungry, so she could only follow the example of the Zhou family, eat cleanly, and not let the Zhou family see the clues.
Now, Zhao Feifei finally has food, and she can finally eat some normal rice, so she is naturally willing to take it out. Otherwise, let Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou eat the kind of cornmeal that is not finely ground, and secretly avoid eating big white rice, Zhao Feifei is not so selfish.
So, it's a beautiful misunderstanding.
