Chapter 21: Eggs
"It's still early, your grandmother ......" Wu Qingmei subconsciously wanted to say that Mrs. Meng hadn't called her a meal yet, every time she looked at Mrs. Meng's meaning, and what to eat was also decided by Mrs. Meng, so she was responsible for working in the kitchen.
It's been a few days since they were separated, and Wu Qingmei is sometimes in a trance, she can't believe it's true, she just thinks it's a dream.
"I'll go to Grandma Zheng's house next door to see if there are any eggs, and Mom will boil eggs for you to eat."
As soon as she said this, Wu Qingmei felt sad again, it was useless to pity her, even her two daughters, from childhood to adulthood, the number of times she ate eggs could be counted on one hand, so that the two children looked inferior to Meng Xiaoping.
Isn't it just that long-term malnutrition is not good?
"Mom, I don't eat eggs, you can just eat them," Meng Zhenzhen hurriedly said when she heard this.
Wu Qingmei was even more sad when she heard this, "Why are we eating?" Mom can skip it, but you and your sister will eat two each. ”
"Mom, if all the good things are for me and my sister to eat, and you don't touch them, do you think we can feel better?" Meng Youyou saw that the mother and daughter were still pushing, so they could only say.
She understands Wu Qingmei's heart as a mother, and she also understands the filial piety of Meng Zhenzhen, the eldest daughter in the family, but some things must be explained, she doesn't want anyone to be reluctant to eat and use in the future, and in the end it will cheapen others.
"Mom, my sister and I are still young, so we need a good body," Meng Youyou asked Wu Qingmei to nod in agreement and continued.
"But you also have to take care of your body, my sister and I will not only not be able to earn money for you to enjoy for the time being, but we will also have to burden you to work to support us, if you have something, how can we live?"
Only by saying this can Wu Qingmei cherish her body, otherwise I don't know how Wu Qingmei will save food when she and Meng Zhenzhen don't notice.
Once or twice, isn't it bad for the body to break down if there are too many times?
"That's it, Mom, don't worry, in the future, Yoyo and I will definitely let you live a good life, and it will definitely make the eldest aunt envy us," Meng Zhenzhen also said.
Since childhood, their family has lived in Zhang Guiqin's squeeze, in the eyes of the Meng family, they are the objects that anyone can bully, the grievances they suffered, the suffering, and she must make them regret what they did in the future.
Wu Qingmei was very pleased, she didn't expect that she and her husband were busy working all day long, and they didn't have much time and energy to raise their two daughters, but the daughters were so sensible and filial in silence.
"Eh, eh, our family will definitely get better and better," Wu Qingmei finally said with a smile on her face.
The two daughters had said this several times before, but Wu Qingmei always didn't believe it in her heart, but after what happened in the past few days, she suddenly believed it.
Wu Qingmei boiled two eggs for each of her sisters, and she bought a total of ten eggs for herself, and took five at once, looking at the only half left in the bag, she still felt a little distressed.
Thinking that the left and right are for the children, it is easy to break after a long time in the hot weather, and she doesn't need to be so petty, let the daughters know, and her heart must be uncomfortable.
The family finished dinner with laughter and laughter, Meng Youyou wanted Meng Zhenzhen to go back to school tomorrow morning, but she had to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark and hurried back to study at night.
Meng Youyou was helpless, so she could only watch Wu Qingmei simply pack up some food for her, and go back alone.
Meng Zhenzhen was so afraid of delaying her studies, but she asked for leave to go home several times for her business, and it took at least half a day to go back and forth, which made Meng Youyou have to take it to heart.
It would be nice to have a bicycle, it would be much easier to go anywhere, and people would be less tired and save time, but thinking about the money in your pocket, it still seems that it is far from enough.
Meng Youyou here is worrying about money, and the Meng family is also arguing over money.
"Mom, let Xiaoping follow her second uncle to the county, learn some craft, and go back to find her mother-in-law," Zhang Guiqin looked at Mrs. Meng and persuaded patiently.
In fact, she wanted to talk about this matter for a long time, but Meng Gui always said that she didn't find a suitable one before, and this time she came back and said that she had a friend's daughter-in-law who knew who could cut clothes and was willing to teach people.
"Then let's go, I can make clothes for people when I learn to go back," Mrs. Meng thought it was very good when she heard it, and said.
"Of course that's okay," Zhang Guiqin knew Mrs. Meng and knew that she had misunderstood, so she could only add, "Let the family help teach things, and you have to charge some hard money or something." ”
To teach is to be willing to teach, but you have to charge 30 yuan for apprenticeship.
In fact, there is not much money, but Zhang Guiqin naturally doesn't want to take it out of her pocket, so she can only hope that Mrs. Meng can come out with this money.
"To study for her, she couldn't get into high school by herself, she stayed at home for two years, and she didn't go to work for a few days, but she didn't eat less," Mrs. Meng said with a cold face, "That's it, you still want me to pay this money?" ”
For the sake of Meng Youyou's retirement, Mrs. Meng was forced to take out fifty yuan helplessly, she was already very distressed, and now she wanted her to take out another thirty yuan, Mrs. Meng naturally refused without thinking about it.
She likes Meng Xiaoping well, she has a sweet mouth and can speak, but that is also on the premise that she doesn't need to pay for it, and most importantly, she has to have a disgusting granddaughter like Meng Youyou to compare.
Zhang Guiqin glared at her daughter, stopped her from talking, and said, "Mom, Xiaoping will live well in the future, won't she be more filial to you?" ”
"You also know what the situation of our family is, we can't count on her and her brother when we get old, I'm a mother, I just hope that the child can have a little bit of success in the future, don't let us be tired in the fields."
When Zhang Guiqin said this, she naturally thought about it again and again, she knew Mrs. Meng's temperament very well, so she also said it on purpose.
Mrs. Meng does have two sons, but she doesn't like the wife and children of the younger son, and now she has been kicked out of the Meng family, and there will definitely not be many contacts in the future.
Counting on their filial piety, Mrs. Meng also knew in her heart that it was impossible.
As for saying that he wants to marry his youngest son and have another child, when the child grows up, I am afraid that it will be many years later, so I can't count on it.
Isn't there only the eldest son left, and they will still count on the children when they are old, so Mrs. Meng is not good to the two children now, so don't blame the children for being unfilial in the future.
Mrs. Meng's eyebrows furrowed, she naturally understood the meaning of these words, and she was extremely reluctant, but she also knew that her words were not rough, and there were only a few people she could rely on when she was old in the future.
"The money can be given to you, but don't think about playing, you must learn the skills thoroughly," Mrs. Meng told worriedly.
"Milk, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, and I will be the first to make you a good-looking padded jacket when I learn it," Meng Xiaoping saw that Mrs. Meng agreed, and jumped out without money for good words.
Regardless of whether the words were sincere or not, in the end, it made Mrs. Meng's mood better, and a smile appeared on her face.
