058 Boiled eggs
If it is said that everyone is unhappy like this, this reunion dinner should be dispersed.
Song Haonian told his father and mother that he would take his daughter-in-law home, thinking that they would agree, but Song Laohan didn't speak, and Niu Shi stood up and said: "Okay, wow, I gave birth to you and raised you for more than 20 years, and you won't recognize the old lady if you marry a daughter-in-law?"
Song Haonian felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and his wife was not short of people to serve, and it was obvious that she was going to grind his daughter-in-law, so she was not very happy at the moment, and her face was calm.
Niu's thigh cried at the moment: "I want to ask the neighbors to comment on it, such an unfilial son, I will raise you for nothing!"
Song Laohan, who had been silent, took a puff of dry tobacco and made a final decision: "Second brother, you and your daughter-in-law will stay for one night and leave tomorrow, otherwise it will not be decent." ”
When the son and daughter-in-law come home, if they don't stay overnight and leave overnight, their house will be talked about, and maybe some people will say that they are mean to their daughter-in-law.
Song Laohan is a person who wants to save face, he refuses to gossip, he has prestige at home, and the decisions he makes, from the old wife to the sons, dare not disobey.
"Second child, you go and tell your daughter-in-law that it is natural to be filial to your in-laws, which one allows her to come here?" Song Laohan attributed the reason why his son was unwilling to spend the night at home to his daughter-in-law, which was regarded as giving everyone a step down.
Song Haonian was about to defend Lily, and in an instant, he thought that he didn't have a good reputation at home, let alone Lily, so he turned his head and went out to find his daughter-in-law.
Lily was standing at the door of the kitchen, and when she saw Song Haonian coming out, she smiled at him first. Song Haonian strode over and whispered to her about Song Laohan's decision, "Just stay for one night, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, I'll go home early tomorrow morning. "Lily can calm things, but she is not the master who swallows her anger. If she is angry and tries her best to maintain the relationship between Song Haonian and her family, she will be the only one who suffers in the end.
She wants to express that she is not comfortable in the old Song family and wants to go home very much, and Song Haonian also thinks the same, so that she will face up to her grievances.
Song Haonian wanted to hug Lily, but Dong came out of the kitchen and looked at them with a smile, so he had to clench his fists and say to Lily, "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”
The Song family has three main rooms, the middle is a hall house, the east one lives Song Laohan and his wife, and the west one is Song Haoshi and Dong with Jinbao. There are four rooms in the east and west wings, one in the east wing belongs to Song Xiuxiu, and the other is the kitchen.
The west chamber used to be Song Haonian and Song Haojie lived, since Song Haonian was separated, Song Haojie occupied a better one, and the remaining one was a collection of sundries.
The Niu family called the shots, called Song Haonian and the third child together, and Lily and Song Xiuxiu shared a room. Dong's yin and yang are weird: "You young couples must be reluctant to separate, but when you come to the house, you should also be sensible." ”
Song Haonian didn't want to talk to his sister-in-law, and Lily said: "Why don't we say anything? Don't think what your sister-in-law is thinking about, just think that everyone is thinking about something." ”
Dong was so angry that his face turned red and he didn't speak for a long time.
At night, it is necessary to save lamp oil, and as soon as it is dark, Niu will drive his children to sleep. Lily followed Song Xiuxiu to the East Chamber, the house was well furnished, but Song Xiuxiu did not have the habit of washing before going to bed, only men who worked during the day had hot water to burn their feet, and others did not need to wash.
Following the customs of the locals, the old Song family would not always prepare hot water for the lily to wash, so she had to endure it, take off her shoes and climb into bed.
Song Xiuxiu only had a pillow and a quilt on the bed, and she was stunned and asked Song Xiuxiu, "Do you have a pillow?"
Ordinary people will prepare one or two pillows and a quilt at home, and give the guests a messenger, Song Xiuxiu is lazy and lays down on the bed, "You really treat yourself as a guest! Love to sleep or not, which one loves to find a pillow for you, anyway, I won't go!"
Lily knew that even if she asked Niu for a pillow quilt, the answer she got could only be a scolding, and the family was holding back their strength to find themselves unhappy, and the more she begged them, the more they kicked their noses and faces.
She and Song Xiuxiu had nothing to say, so they found a place to lie down, hoping that the time would pass quickly, so that she could go back to her small home with her husband.
Sure enough, Song Xiuxiu began to wrap the quilt not long after she fell asleep, obviously a quilt is more than enough for two people, and now the weather is not too hot, she just wants to roll all the quilts on herself.
At first, Lily was still covered with a corner, but then she couldn't drag it, so she knew that Song Xiuxiu did it on purpose. Fortunately, the weather gradually warmed up at this time, and Lily could endure it all night.
She knew that Song Xiuxiu was a fool, and if her aunt and sister-in-law fought over the quilt, they would be able to make people laugh until next year.
The sound insulation of the house is not very good, Lily is lying on the bed, and he can hear Song Laohan's long and short snoring, Dong said something in a sharp voice, and called Song Haoshi to slap back, and Song Jinbao thundered and cried a little rain
The sound gradually decreased, only Song Laohan's snoring became more and more obvious, and it rose to a pole and then fell quickly, as if he had lost his breath.
Lily said in her heart, fortunately, Song Haonian did not have the habit of snoring, otherwise she would have been able to bear it in the future
When I got up early the next morning, Lily had faint circles under her eyes, and Song Haonian's expression was not very good, I don't know what Song Haojie told him.
Dong cooks and makes do with the leftovers from last night's meal in the steamer. Song Xiuxiu didn't sleep enough, she was not careful when she lit the fire, and there was a lot of smoke, which made several people cough and stuffy, and hurriedly went out to breathe, all of them were full of firewood crumbs, and her eyes contained two packets of smoked tears.
It's such a meal, Niu Shi is not happy to eat the lily: "Breakfast is for those who have to work, and those who don't want to eat it!
Lily sneered, and it was not uncommon to eat this hot leftovers, just waiting for Song Haonian to finish eating and leaving.
Unexpectedly, Song Haonian turned around and walked into the kitchen, boiled two eggs in a pot of water, and rolled them in cold water to peel the shells. Jinbao only thought that the eggs were for him to eat, and watched the second uncle hand the peeled white raw eggs to the second aunt, and cried again.
Dong hit Jinbao hard and scolded: "What's the funeral, you know how to eat, are you such a shameless person?"
Jinbao cried louder and louder, kicking his mother's calves with both legs, but Lily knew what it was like, and it hurt.
Lily couldn't hear Dong's finger and scolding Huai, smiled sweetly at Song Haonian, lowered his head to eat fragrant boiled eggs, and gave the egg yolk to Song Haonian to eat.
On the one hand, the family who does not give a good face, and on the other hand, the daughter-in-law who has been wronged and has to endure it, Song Haonian's heart has long been biased, and he pulled Lily and said to Song Laohan and Niu: "Dad, mother, let's go back." ”
Song Laohan ate dry tobacco and didn't speak, Niu Shi opened his loud voice: "Who are you showing to when you lose your face? The old lady gave birth to you and raised you all these years, and she is not worthy of your daughter-in-law's filial piety?"
Back and forth is always these words, Song Haonian thought impatiently, the kindness of birth and breeding was given to him, and he would repay it, and his daughter-in-law married her home to live, not to ask her to be a cow and a horse.
Daddy's sister doesn't feel sorry for his daughter-in-law, he feels sorry for himself!
"Mother, I will come back every month to deliver something in the future, and food and clothing are indispensable for the second elder. Song Haonian stood like a pine tree, not talking much, but it was a spittle and a nail, and there was no room for change, "My daughter-in-law is very good, I am reluctant to abuse her, and I am even more reluctant to be badly trampled by others." ”
"You don't like to see her, but she doesn't come much in the future. Song Haonian felt that this was the only solution.
Niu's anger is upside, she married into the Song family, worked hard for decades, from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law, finally put on the majesty of her mother-in-law for a few days, what happened to a little filial piety of her daughter-in-law?
Dong is an obedient person, and his mother's family also has some family background, and he gave birth to a good grandson Jinbao, so he can get her two smiling faces. That Li Baihe's family is poor, and she won't please her mother-in-law, who is such a daughter-in-law not scolded at dusk, but she is delicate?
"Old man," Niu's screamed, "listen to what he says!"
In the final analysis, the backbone of this family is still Song Laohan, no matter how powerful the Niu family is, it is only the one who plays the outpost, and she is not the one who really calls the shots.
Song Haojie helped on the side: "Dad, stop the second brother, our family can't do anything embarrassing." ”
Song Xiuxiu directly began to reproach Song Haonian: "Second brother, you really married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother!"
Song Laohan frowned, Song Haojie looked quite like him, and after eating a cigarette, he said slowly, "It's all a family, what do you say, you take your daughter-in-law to go back first, and come back more later." ”
With him for one day, the second son is not allowed to do such a shameful thing.
There was a stalemate for a while, Song Laohan only thought that Song Haonian listened to his words, and Song Haonian understood that the Cheng family understood what he meant.
The two thoughts diverged, and they both felt that it was good to do what they said, and no one came out to play the round, and everyone was embarrassed.
Song Haonian pulled Lily to go home, silent all the way, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water, he was not happy with his father and mother since he was a child, he was used to it, and it was nothing to be wronged, but his daughter-in-law was such a sensible person, and he was also called his father and mother, so he couldn't let her suffer this grievance.
Back at home, Song Haonian first pressed Lily on the stool and lifted her trouser leg to see where she was kicked by Jinbao yesterday.
There was a black blue on his calf, and his warm palm was attached to it, and he asked while rubbing it gently, "Does it hurt?"
Lily smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Jinbao is a child after all, how strong can he be? This idea will disappear in a few days.
"It's that I'm useless, I make people look down on me, and I even get angry with you. Song Haonian said sullenly.
Lily bent down to hold his face, and said with a smile: "I think you are very promising, better than the eldest brother and the third brother, I feel comfortable living with you." ”
said and kissed Song Haonian on the face. Song Haonian jumped up all of a sudden, his face was a little red, and he slowly showed a smile: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely tell you to live a good life!"
