Chapter 31: Self-inflicted affection
At this time, the porridge in Brother Eun'er's bowl finally thickened.
"That's pretty much it!" Brother Eun muttered, and as a matter of course, he enjoyed the rice filtered out of the bowls of his mother, sister, aunt and others, and ate it in a big gulp.
And Zhang's mother and daughter's faces are almost black into coal!
Wang gave the meal to his son, but he didn't complain much.
But Lu Mulan let her brother eat, but she pouted a little unwillingly: "Mother, should we just drink rice soup?" ”
The Wang family naturally favored his son, glared at her and said, "It's good to have rice soup for you to drink!" Do you want your brother to go to private school hungry? ”
Lu Mulan snorted dissatisfiedly, and could only look at the dry rice in Brother Eun'er's bowl with envy and swallow his saliva.
After a while, Brother Eun had almost eaten, put down the bowl, patted his clothes, got up and left: "Grandma, remember to cook dry rice at night and buy some meat back!" ”
Li held the chopsticks and waved to his grandson with a smile: "Okay, good!" The grandchildren just have to study hard, and Grandma will let them buy meat! ”
After speaking, Li took out a handkerchief from his arms, and the handkerchief was wrapped in layers of handkerchiefs, and the innermost part was wrapped in two taels of silver.
As soon as she opened the handkerchief, Zhang's mother and daughter, Wang's mother and daughter, couldn't help but grow their necks to see.
Li frowned, as if he thought of something, put the handkerchief back again, and turned to Zhang: "Second daughter-in-law, you let Bai go and come back with half a catty of pork on credit!" Let's just say that I see that they are hungry and pitiful, and let them eat together tonight, which can be regarded as reconciliation. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shi didn't know why: "Mother, since there is meat to eat, why should we let them eat together?" ”
Three more people, wouldn't they have to sandwich a few pieces of meat less!
The Li family has always known that the third daughter-in-law is not bright, but she didn't expect to be so unenlightened!
Li Shi glanced at her lightly and said, "Are you really stupid, or are you fake stupid?" When did they eat meat? Just leave two pieces for them to mean, do you really think you should let them eat together? Besides, the Bai family went to the credit, and the Bai family paid it back! The old lady won't help her pay it back! She doesn't pay on credit, where do we get the meat to eat? ”
As soon as Li explained this, Wang suddenly smiled and said, "I'll just say, why is my mother so kind all of a sudden!" ”
At this time, Zhang, who had been holding a bowl and drinking rice soup, smiled non-yin and yang: "Mother, let's not be happy too early!" Sister-in-law has been a lot smarter lately! I'm afraid I won't say yes easily! ”
"And, have you noticed it lately? The sister-in-law and the mother and son run out every day, I don't know if they have earned any treasures, and they secretly hide it from us! I've been observing them for several days, and during this time they haven't come back with duck offal, and the rice and grain at home are all locked up, so what do they eat? Don't you notice that the face of the evil seed is much smoother? ”
When Zhang said this, both Li and Wang felt as if this was the case.
At this time, the Bai family came out of the house with Xiaobao, and the Zhang family and the others looked at Xiaobao together, and they didn't speak one by one.
In the past, Xiaobao was thin and small, his face was dirty, and his face was even more frostbitten and cracked, and he looked rustic, except for the pair of dripping eyes that were very eye-catching, there was nothing special.
And now look at Xiaobao, although he is still wearing simple and thin, his clothes are clean, his eyebrows are clear, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his skin is still a little sallow, but at this time it has become white, as white and delicate as a freshly peeled egg; A pair of big watery eyes flashed with a smart and clever look, and it seemed that they were really a little rounder than before......
Li's heart 'clucked', could it be that they really found some treasure?
Li squinted his eyes at Xiaobao, but he didn't squeak.
As soon as Bai and Xiaobao left, Li and the others immediately gathered to discuss: "They went out!" Let's go and see! The old lady wants to see what treasures they are hiding! ”
It's rare that there is no wind and snow today, the wind is beautiful, and the sun is warm.
Bai Shi led Xiaobao, Xiaobao led the big yellow dog, a pair of good-looking dimples hung on his pink carved face, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma, aren't we going to the town today?" ”
Bai glanced at him dotingly, and said with a smile: "Little glutton, how can you go to the town every day?" We're running out of money, and if we don't find some yam to sell, we're afraid we'll starve next; I don't know if there are any yams in the mountains, your mother looks for them every day, and she doesn't find much. ”
When Xiaobao heard that he might meet his mother in the mountains, he immediately laughed smartly: "Rhubarb, where is my mother?" Take me to my mother's house! ”
"Wang!"
Rhubarb seemed to understand Xiaobao's words, and in response to him, he seemed to scream, and actually dragged Xiaobao in the opposite direction......
"Rhubarb, you smell wrong! My mother is in the mountains! Xiaobao naturally didn't know where Lu Jiangli was, but grandma said that her mother was in the mountains, so she must be in the mountains, so she dragged the rhubarb to the mountains.
Rhubarb couldn't help the little master, and he couldn't drag the little master over, so he could only hang his ears, stare at Xiaobao with resentment, and be dragged away by him......
Here, Xiaobao is fighting wits with the big yellow dog, and Bai is carefully looking for the dead vines on the trunk.
She didn't know the yam vine either, she could only see the vine and dig it up to take a look, and the whole morning passed, and she dug up more than a dozen vines one after another, but none of them were yams!
The Bai family walked around in this mountain, and the Li family and the others also followed around the butt all morning.
Li Shi is old in the end, hiding behind a stone with sore legs and feet: "What is the eldest daughter-in-law doing!" ”
Zhang wondered: "Mother, will my sister-in-law already find us?" Deliberately taking us around in circles? ”
Wang's mother and daughter also felt that there was such a possibility.
Li narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head: "It doesn't matter if she is going around in circles, I won't accompany her around!" She just said she was going to sell it? That old lady is blocking her on the mountain pass! ”
"In this way, Mu Lan Hibiscus helped me down the mountain and waited for her at the mountain pass! The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, you follow her again! Just in case she's hiding in the mountains! ”
At noon, Bai searched all over a mountain and barely dug up a few yams.
She had just dug up the soil, and was smiling excitedly at Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, the emperor lives up to his wishes!" We've dug it! ”
Got it?
Zhang and Wang, who were hiding not far away, glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
The two walked out slowly, and said with a smile: "Yo, what treasure did my sister-in-law dig up?" Take it out and let us open our eyes? ”
Bai Shi listened to the voices of the two, startled, and said angrily: "You are following us? ”
Zhang covered his lips and smiled: "Why is my sister-in-law so unpleasant!" This mountain road is yours, right? We can come when we want, how can we become a tracker? ”
Wang also echoed unceremoniously: "That's it! Since this mountain belongs to everyone, then whoever gets these treasures first will be whoever's! ”
As she spoke, she winked at Bai and walked around to the other side, wanting to hug the yam!
