Chapter 11 Pretending
After taking a bite, I was surprised to find that this original flavor of mung bean cake is not sweet or greasy, and it melts in your mouth, and it is really delicious.
Seeing that Liuya was eating, the old lady turned her head, put away the smile on her face, and then said to Xia Shouping and his wife: "Liuya is sick for such a big thing, send me a letter in the future, this is also my granddaughter, isn't it?" Erzhu still has to take care of it, he is twelve, and he will say goodbye in two years, this disobedience to the elders will be spread, and who else is willing to marry his daughter to him. ”
"Well, we got it." Xia Shouping hurriedly replied, and also stabbed Huang Liuniang with his hand.
Huang Liuniang smiled very face-saving for her husband: "Mother, don't worry, when Erzhu comes back, his father and I will teach him a good lesson, and we must not let him embarrass our old Xia family." ”
Probably the last sentence she said not to embarrass the old Xia family satisfied the old lady, and the old lady stretched her eyebrows and said with a pleasant face: "Don't blame me for being too strict with you sometimes, your sister-in-law is a bad person, I know this." But no matter how muddy she is, she is also the daughter-in-law of our Lao Xia family, and it is our Lao Xia's face that is lost when she messes around outside. You just take care of her a little more, you can't write two summer characters in one stroke. ”
"Mother, don't worry, we will let my sister-in-law do it. Just now, the eldest brother sent some white noodles to Liuya, and Liuniang told me just now, this side does not move, and the sister-in-law will return it if she makes trouble. Xia Shouping knew that the old lady didn't like Huang Liuniang, so he hurriedly said a few good words to Huang Liuniang.
The old lady glanced at Huang Liuniang and praised it rarely: "This is a good daughter-in-law who knows how to be knowledgeable." You don't have to send this noodles back, make dumplings for Liuya to eat. If your sister-in-law makes trouble, I'll just pay her back for you. ”
Qingbao was amazed when he watched from the side, no wonder people said "people are old and fine, horses are old and slippery, and rabbits are not easy to take when they are old", this old lady Xia is really alive and well. In the afternoon, he also knocked and beat Huang Liuniang, and now he praises it, this degree of tolerance and gentleness is really good.
Looking at Huang Liuniang's slightly shy satisfaction, Qingbao felt that Huang Liuniang was really easy to handle.
The old lady said a few more gossips, and then left.
Before leaving, he patted Qingbao's little head and said kindly: "Liuya, take care of your illness, and when you are well, go to grandma's house to play." ”
Qingbao naturally nodded obediently, and said sweetly: "Goodbye, grandma!" ”
The old lady was very satisfied with Qingbao's politeness, she glanced at Huang Liuniang, and said again: "Liuya is very good, very polite, and will teach the children like this in the future." ”
Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang naturally agreed.
sent the old lady to the door, and until the old lady disappeared, Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang went back to the house.
Xia Shouping smiled and said: "My mother is still worried about us, you see, she brought so many delicious foods to Liuya." ”
This time, Huang Liuniang didn't refute, but looked at the three bags of things on the kang and said, "Why is your mother so generous this time?" I even gave a piece of meat back. ”
Xia Shouping said unhappily: "Look at you, you are a person, you think blindly every day, you didn't give things before, you said that my mother picked it, but now you give it, you doubt this and that." Liuya is my mother's own granddaughter, so she is not allowed to feel sorry for the child? ”
Huang Liuniang was speechless by what he said, so she had to bend down and hand another piece of mung bean cake to Qingbao: "Ya, eat another piece." ”
In order to help Huang Liuniang break the embarrassment, Qingbao said: "I'm full, mother, I want to drink water." ”
Huang Liuniang hurriedly agreed and went out to scoop water for Qingbao.
The water is just cool water, a bit icy.
Qingbao just think about it, there is no hot water bottle in this world, where will there be hot water to drink. Taking a step back, even if there were things to keep warm, it was not something that this poor family could afford.
With Qingbao's mixing, Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang no longer mentioned that topic.
Huang Liu Niang rewrapped the three bags of things again: "The fish I ate today, this meat will be eaten in a few days, anyway, the weather is not hot now, and it can be stored for two days." I'll put peanuts and snacks in the cupboard, and if you want to eat them, you can get them yourself. ”
"Okay." Qingbao nodded in agreement.
After packing up her things, Zhu Huang Liuniang said to Xia Shouping: "It's almost dark this day, why haven't they come back yet, I'll cook, you go and find it." ”
Xia Shouping said yes and went out to find the children.
After he left, Huang Liuniang didn't go to cook first, but sat on the edge of the kang, touched Qingbao's forehead, and said with a smile: "Ya, thanks to you today, otherwise we would have suffered a loss today." ”
Qingbao knew that she actually just wanted to express her joy at this peak, and she didn't want to say anything to Liuya at all. Liuya is only six years old, how can she understand the open and secret battles between adults?
Sure enough, Huang Liuniang, who didn't hear her answer, still said to herself: "I just pity our six girls, I was almost scared to death by that evil woman, don't think that I will forgive them if you say a few good words, and almost killed us Liuya, I have a note of everything." ”
Hearing this, Qingbao understood that daring to love her cheap girl is not blindly soft-hearted, but she also has her own small account book in her heart.
It seems that the people here are not in vain, they are all acting schools, and they must not despise them because they are ancient people.
Simple, low-key, unobtrusive, saving her life, this is the path she should take in the future.
Huang Liuniang sat for a while, and then went out to cook.
Qingbao lay on the kang alone for a while, probably because of drinking water, and was a little anxious.
Pulling her shoes and going out on the kang, Huang Liuniang, who was cooking on the fire, asked, "Why are you going?" ”
"Toilet."
The toilet is easy to find, you can see it at a glance, and it is built in the southeast corner.
The wall of the toilet is not made of bricks, but is made of sorghum straw, which is not very tight. There is not even a roof on the toilet, which means that if you come to this open-air toilet on a rainy day, you will be drenched in the rain.
Growing so big, Qingbao has never been to this kind of simple toilet, but fortunately, because it is a toilet at home, it is cleaned very clean, and it is not too dirty.
People can't let urine suffocate to death, Qingbao is reluctant, and at this time he has to go to this kind of toilet.
But she suddenly remembered a question, what did this ancient person use to wipe his ass when he went to the toilet.
It is said that ancient paper was very expensive, so it shouldn't be used to wipe your ass, right?
So what is it used for?
Qingbao's head spun around, trying to find something usable in the toilet.
The toilet was very empty, and she didn't find anything that could be used like paper cloth, but she saw something special.
The round and long straw was broken into two vertically from the middle, cut into small pieces about the length of chopsticks, and neatly placed in a small wooden box.
