Chapter 64: Making Up Stories
Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss yesterday, Han Mingcui slept very deeply, and even her in-laws said that she was going to take a break, but she didn't stop her sleepiness, and slept groggily all afternoon, and didn't wake up until it was dark.
It was woken up by her little Bao'er, and the child also slept for several hours, the food in his stomach was digested, and he was crying and looking for milk to eat.
As soon as the child woke up, Han Mingxiu's first reaction was that she couldn't help it and pulled or urinated again, so she hurriedly rushed up to check it, but the child really urinated, she quickly helped her change the urine ring, and when she saw that the eldest sister was also up, she handed her the rewrapped child and asked her to breastfeed the child.
Han Mingcui took the child, sat down on the pillow, glanced out the window, and found that it was already dark outside, so he asked, "What time is it?" ”
Han Mingxiu said, "It's five o'clock, I was about to ask you to get up to eat, you see, the food is ready, and if you don't wake up, the porridge will be cold." ”
Han Mingcui lifted her eyelids and took a look, and saw a pot of steaming bud rice porridge on the bedside table, the bud rice porridge was burnt and browned, and the white corn navel was faintly visible inside, as if it was found out from the new bud rice.
Next to the bud rice porridge, there is a plate of thinly sliced pork liver, neatly stacked on the plate, and on the other side, there is a plate of red crabs.
"This ...... This one...... It's a crab, right? Where did you come from? ”
Han Mingcui looked at the crab uncertainly, and was a little shocked and stunned.
There are no crabs in the north, but she had seen it in a book before, and she knew that it was produced in the sea, and she heard that the price was more expensive than meat, and poor people like them could not afford to eat it, but they could afford to buy it, so she would be so surprised when she saw crabs.
Han Mingxiu laughed dryly twice and said, "These are all sent by others, including the noodles we ate at noon and the old soup used to cook noodles, all of which were sent by others." ”
Considering that she will be living with her eldest sister in the future, Han Myung-so doesn't want to eat chaff all day long in order to hide the secret of the space, so after some careful consideration, she decided to make up a story to cover up her space and improve her life by the way.
Here's what the story is about.
"Didn't I go to my second sister's house this morning? Then passing by an alley, I happened to meet an old lady who fell to a faint, I thought about this cold day, she was an old man lying on the cold ground, designated to be cold, if no one found out that the whole thing would be frozen to death, so I had compassion, and I knocked on the door of the door with her in the vicinity, and finally found her home. ”
"It turned out that the old lady accidentally slipped when she went out, hit her head against the wall and fell unconscious, although it was not dangerous, but if I hadn't rescued her in time, the consequences would have been really hard to say.
The old lady's husband is grateful to me for saving his wife, and he has to give me a sum of money to repay me......"
"And then? Do you want it? Han Mingcuier was attracted by Han Mingxiu's story, and she didn't notice that the padded jacket on her body slipped off.
"Of course I didn't ask for it, but it was just a gesture, why should I be embarrassed to ask for other people's money?"
Han Mingxiu looked righteous and awe-inspiring, waved his hand and continued to work in vain.
"Unexpectedly, this old man saw that I didn't want money, and he had a good impression of me, and he chatted a lot, and I learned that the old man and the old lady are both retired old teachers in high school, and they have a pension of sixty or seventy yuan a month."
"And they also cultivated five promising children, who worked in major cities across the country, some in the south, some in the capital, and some in Shanghai, each of them was a dragon and phoenix among the people, and each of them lived well, and they were mailed with money and goods every month, and their wages of sixty or seventy yuan a month could not be spent, plus the children mailed them, so the old man and the old lady lived that day, it was simply incomparable."
"Later, the old man heard that I was serving you in the hospital, so he had to get me some food, oh, this big crab and the tender bud rice porridge were brought back to them from the south by the son of the uncle's family, don't look at our north now dripping into ice is not long, people in the south are still blooming in spring, you look at this bud rice tender, just like our autumn tender bud rice; And this crab, it's also very fresh, but you just gave birth to a child, it's not good to eat this, and eat that pork liver, the pig liver replenishes the blood, it just so happens that you have so much blood, and it's just right ......to eat the pig liver."
Han Mingxiu said as she helped her pick up the slippery padded jacket and draped it on her shoulders.
"So, these old things were given to you by that uncle? Emma, how much do these old goodies cost? We took so many things from other people? Isn't it taking advantage of others? "The eldest sister is a little overset.
Han Mingxiu said disapprerovantly, "When did we take advantage of others?" I saved someone's life, how much more is a life than this little thing? Besides, you think this little thing is quite valuable, but in fact, it is nothing in the eyes of other people's uncles and aunts, and it is not even a dime. You don't see the life of other people, what do you really want, the food in the hall is piled up from the ground to the roof, there are piles of coal in the yard, there is a flying pigeon bicycle, there is a room of furniture, there is a radio on the cabinet cover, there is a sewing machine and a sofa on the floor......"
In order to continue to take things from this family in the future, Han Mingxiu spared no effort to advocate the wealth of the 'Uncle Gao' family, the purpose was to give her a reasonable excuse to take things from home in the future.
The eldest sister is simple and kind, and she is easy to deceive, and Han Mingxiu hardly made her believe her completely. Not only did I believe it, but I also participated in the story.
"Xiu, people have money, that's people's, we can't just help others collect so many things in vain, and when I go back, I'll make two pairs of shoes for their old couple when I'm out of confinement, and if you have a chance, go to their house again, help me see how big their feet are, show me a rough touch, otherwise it's big and small."
Han Mingxiu was planning to find a chance to go to Uncle Gao's house again tomorrow, so that he could come back with a few rings, and when he heard the eldest sister say this, he was in the right place, so he said happily, "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow and help you give you the size of their old couple's feet to come back, I'll serve you porridge first, the porridge boiled with tender buds is delicious." ”
She went to serve porridge to her eldest sister!
Hehe, her method is really good, from now on she can continue to get tender buds, big crabs, apples, watermelons and oranges from 'Uncle Gao's house'!
