Chapter 8 Wheat bran noodles
There was a "bang" at the courtyard door outside, Chu Dong kicked the door open, and shouted loudly in the courtyard: "Mother, mother, come out quickly, the fool has picked up the eggs!" Grab it!! ”
When the three siblings heard this, they subconsciously raised their hands at the same time, stuffed their own eggs into their mouths, and chewed with their cheeks puffed out, like three big frogs.
At this time, Wang was busy in the kitchen, and it was her turn to make dinner today.
Wang's is lazy to eat, and he grinds his work, and it is estimated that it will be dark when he is ready.
Hearing his son's shout, Wang changed his laziness and immediately ran out of the room, and asked urgently, "What are you talking about?" What eggs? ”
Immediately, there was no movement, and even Xiangling's ears couldn't hear it, so it should be that the two of them went back to the house to talk.
Soon, Wang came to the door of the second room, knocked on the door twice and said urgently: "Second sister-in-law, open the door quickly, my mother's body is not strong......."
If Wang's attitude is arrogant, the Jiang family will naturally ignore her, but the Wang family has "serious business", ----and Chu's mother-in-law is sick, so it is wrong for the Jiang family, who is a daughter-in-law, to ignore her.
Jiang had no choice but to open the door.
Wang pushed Jiang away and entered the house, sniffed like a dog, his eyes fell on the eggshell on the ground, and his face immediately fell: "Second sister-in-law, you are really filial, your mother-in-law is sick, and your daughter-in-law eats alone behind closed doors!" Get the rest of the eggs out! ”
Wang is a smart person, knowing that in the name of Chu Dong or not, he simply insisted on it in the name of Chu's illness.
Jiang's face was stunned, not to mention how embarrassed it was.
If there were eggs left, she would naturally have to give them, but the current situation was that her own egg was forced by the children to eat her.
The three children, because of food protection, all stuffed their mouths when they heard Chu Dong's movements, and there was no residue left between their teeth, what to give?
Chu didn't eat dinner for a long time, the fire was very big, he came out of the main room and went into the kitchen, and found that Wang was not there, and the multigrain noodles were poured with water, mixed into white noodle soup, and the dough was not even kneaded.
Chu's is so angry, the most capable of the three daughters-in-law is the Jiang family, but the family went out, and the remaining two, one is more smug and slippery than the other, and they get angry when they look at it.
Chu stood in the middle of the courtyard and scolded: "Wang Meixiang!! Where did you die?! Too lazy to jump maggots on the ass without wiping, make a meal grinding and grinding ......."
The old woman is alive and well, where does she look like she is sick?
Xiangling rolled her eyes, pushed open the window on the kang, poked her head out, and cried at Chu: "Grandma, you can't die, you have to live well!" ”
"Little turtle calf, who are you cursing to death?" Chu Shi was like a cannon stick that was lit, and the fire was ignited at that time, so he picked up the broom and ran to Xiangling.
Xiangling was so frightened that she cried: "I didn't say it, it was my third aunt who said that you were dying!" ”
Chu's has always been happy to rub his daughter-in-law, his widow is the absolute authority in the family, I heard that it was the third daughter-in-law Wang Meixiang who said it, now she can be at her lung tube, and scolded: "Wang Meixiang! You rotten bite! It's okay to run to the second room to be lazy, and curse your mother-in-law for not dying well, see if the old lady doesn't tear your mouth!! ”
Wang Meixiang's face changed in fright, and she pushed Jiang away again and ran out of the West Wing.
This push caused Jiang's arm to hit the door frame, and it hurt a lot.
Wang ran to Chu and hurriedly explained: "Mother, how dare your daughter-in-law curse you, it's a fool who accuses me......."
Chu didn't believe Wang's defense, although the little fool's brain was not clear, he never lied.
Chu Shi stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Meixiang's waist and eyes, and Wang Meixiang was so painful that her five views were twisted together.
Not wanting to see the mess of the old mansion, Xiangling lowered the window and found that Jiang's face was worried.
In just a while, Jiang was pushed twice by Wang like a tumbler, which made Jiang feel very depressed.
After only a while, the stunned Jiang Shi opened the box as if he had suddenly figured it out, took out half a bag of multigrain noodles from it, scooped it out with a gourd scoop and put it in a wooden basin.
This is the life-saving food of the whole family, Xiangling hurriedly grabbed Jiang's hand, and said in surprise: "Mother, what are you doing scooping noodles?" ”
Jiang's brows tightened and said: "My mother has been there several times during the day, except for your Uncle He who promised to come to help build the wall, everyone else, either has something to do or has a job, and they are not willing to come to help." It's always so angry with the old house, my mother thought about using noodles to change jobs, and hurriedly built up the wall. ”
It was because he was afraid that the Jiang family would not be able to ask for people, so Xiangling asked Ge Changlin to build a wall.
Xiangling snatched the noodle bag and said with a smile: "Mother, I found three laborers for you, don't pay or noodles, you can do it." ”
"And what's going on? Who is it? Jiang didn't expect Xiangling to find a helper.
Chu Xia said with a pale face: "Mother, it's Uncle Changlin, Uncle He and Uncle Guizi, Xiangling came with two eggs." ”
"Huh?" Hearing Ge Changlin's name, the Jiang family was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to react for a long time.
Chu Xia knew what her mother was worried about, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll tell Uncle Changlin right away that I don't need them to come tomorrow."
"Come on, why don't you come?! We are not afraid of crooked shadows, and now the village is full of Uncle Changlin to help, and tomorrow I will suddenly not let me come, so that there is a ghost in my heart. Xiangling is right.
Jiang pondered for a long time and said: "Forget it, come on, it's a good thing that this wall is erected quickly, you can't live in the same courtyard with the old mansion."
Jiang snatched the bag of noodles from Xiangling's hand and still scooped the noodles out.
Xiangling said distressedly: "Mother, don't you use flour to work as an au pair?" Why do you still scoop noodles? ”
Jiang glared at his daughter and said angrily: "With such a long wall, the four people have to build a fortress for a whole day, and they do all the hard work, and if they don't pay the salary, they have to provide food, this is the rule." ”
"Oh," Xiangling agreed, feeling that what Jiang was scooping was not noodles, but her life.
Xiangling secretly made up her mind that from tomorrow onwards, she would do everything she could to stock up on food, and if she didn't work hard, she would really become a starving ghost.
What does it taste like?
Xiangling's nose moved, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The girl snatched the scoop in Jiang's hand, scooped it hard under the noodle bag, and scooped out half a scoop of wheat bran from it, tried to scoop it in, and found that the half bag of multigrain noodles given by the old house was actually mixed with half of wheat bran.
Jiang's tears could no longer be suppressed, and he wiped his tears silently.
Although wheat bran can also be eaten, it is not delicious, and it is not hungry, and people who live a little better are mixed with wheat bran to feed pigs and chickens.
Chu Xia's eyes were also red, and he muttered: "Why is my grandmother's heart so ruthless, I am the eldest grandson of the second room......."
Before his leg was lame, Chu Xia was able to work, obedient, and the eldest grandson of the second room, and Chu was the only one who looked at him in the second room.
After the leg is lame, the attitude is not as good as day by day, how thin and cool is how thin and cool.
