After Zhang Shuzhen left, the whole family basically had nothing to do.

Aunt Huo also took her daughters to sit on the kang and chatter, and the mother seemed to have endless chatter, and she didn't know what to chat, anyway, it was all some gossip without a shadow.

Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng sat in Grandma Huo's house and talked to Grandma Huo. During this period, Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxiu proposed to their grandmother more than once that they wanted to take her to the military region and live with them, so that their grandmother could enjoy Qingfu.

However, they were all rejected by Grandma Huo.

"Grandma has lived in this tun all her life, she is used to living, even if there is a Jinluan Palace outside, grandma is not willing to live, you don't have to worry about grandma, grandma will take good care of your body, don't let you worry about it, as long as you are good, grandma will be satisfied......"

Han Mingxiu wanted to say several times, if you don't follow us, if you keep living with the uncle and aunt, the two of us will have to live in a battle of wits and courage with them for the rest of our lives.

However, her heart was not hard enough after all, and she didn't say it after all.

She knew that if she said it, her grandmother would be very embarrassed, and in the end, in order to make them happy, she would follow them to live in the army, but if that happened, her grandmother would definitely be unhappy, but she would not tell them.

She didn't want to make her grandmother unhappy, and she didn't want to embarrass her, so she had to let her go.

After chatting for a while, in the evening, Aunt Huo sent her little girl to the house to ask Han Mingxiu to cook.

Without waiting for Han Mingxiu to speak, Huo Jianfeng said with a cold face: "You go and tell your mother, your sister-in-law is not feeling well and can't cook, there are so many idlers in the family, let them do it." ”

When the little girl heard this, she ran back to the house and told her mother what her brother had said.

When Aunt Huo heard that Han Mingxiu didn't cook and wanted to eat ready-made, her eyes immediately wanted to scold.

Uncle Huo reminded on the side: "Don't forget, you just took someone else's gold chain inlaid with gems, if you annoy others, they will ask for the gold chain back, see what you do?" ”

In a word, it suddenly made the angry Aunt Huo squint, she can't lose such a precious gold chain for a meal, it's not worth it!

After thinking about it like this, she dispelled the idea of letting Han Mingxiu cook for them and serve them, and supported her three daughters to go to the kitchen to cook.

……

Actually, Han Mingxiu didn't have the point where she couldn't cook when she was delicate and had a period, but she just wasn't willing to serve Aunt Huo and her mother, so as soon as Huo Jianfeng said this, she just acquiesced.

However, when the meal was ready, when Aunt Huo's little girl came over to ask them to eat, Han Mingxiu was deeply distressed again.

She knew that dinner would be leftovers from the hot wedding banquet, so she made it herself, and if she did, she would at least be able to make some new meals and new dishes. It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, and whether there is oil or water or not, at least you won't eat other people's leftovers.

Looking at the plate of leftovers that were messed up, Han Mingxiu lost his appetite at all. I had to laugh dryly and say that she was not hungry, so she came to sit with everyone and told them to eat them, and leave her alone.

As soon as Huo Jianfeng saw Han Mingxiu's appearance, he knew that she must have disliked this meal.

In fact, not only did she dislike it, but Huo Jianfeng also disliked it a little.

It's just that he is a man, and he is not as particular as Han Mingxiu. Although I dislike it, it hasn't reached the point where I feel disgusted when I look at it

So, I went to the table with my grandmother, filled most of the bowl of rice, and ate it with my head down. Just eat without vegetables, just deal with eating half full.

But the eldest sister Huo and the second sister Huo didn't dislike it at all, and before Han Mingxiu and the others came over, they led a few children to the table. It didn't matter if there were all the people together, after the table was served, they were pulling through those plates, trying to find some scraps of meat in the pile of leftovers.

Every time a piece of meat scrap is found, it will attract a burst of scrambling, and the child will cry and the adult will scream, and it will be chaotic.

Because it was too messy, no one cared whether Han Mingxiu wanted to eat or not, so they all patronized and went to hunt for treasures in the leftovers, only Grandma Huo felt sorry for Han Mingxiu and persuaded her to eat a little, but Han Mingxiu categorically refused.

She sat on the edge of the kang, watching them eat the leftovers with relish, although she felt panicked in her heart, but she had to admit that she was also hungry and wanted to eat.

After a busy day, she ate a few dumplings when she got up in the morning, and now her stomach is already rumbling with hunger, and she really wants to eat something to cushion her stomach......

After sitting on the edge of the kang for a while, and seeing that they were eating better, Han Mingxiu quietly returned to their cave room under the pretext that he was tired and wanted to go up to the house to rest.

After entering the door, she sneaked out a loaf of bread and a glass of milk from the space and devoured them. While eating and drinking, she kept an eye on the movement outside, lest someone suddenly come in and catch her.

Huo Jianfeng was thinking about Han Mingxiu, and after eating most of the bowl of rice, he put down his chopsticks and hurried back to their room.

Han Mingxiu heard her footsteps, hurriedly put the rest of the bread and milk into the space and wiped her mouth indiscriminately, just as Huo Jianfeng came in through the door curtain.

"Why did you finish eating so quickly?"

Huo Jianfeng said: "I'm full, are you hungry?" I'll get you something to eat. ”

Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "No need, the food is prepared outside, if I don't eat it, I will let you make another one for me, your aunt and your eldest sister may not know how to chew the root of their tongue, I don't want to listen to them chew maggots." ”

Huo Jianfeng said: "If you don't eat the things at home, they can't find fault with them, you wait first, and I'll be back in a while." ”

He said and walked out.

Han Mingxiu leaned on the window, saw him walk out of the yard, hurriedly took out the food and drink from the space, and continued to eat and drink.

Because Huo Jianfeng had explained in advance that Han Mingxiu's body was uncomfortable, so after eating, Aunt Huo didn't ask her to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Of course, Aunt Huo can be so considerate, not because of Huo Jianfeng's explanation, but because of Uncle Huo's reminder.

She is not afraid of anything else, she is afraid that one will accidentally upset Han Mingxiu, and Han Mingxiu will give her the gold chain to go back, won't it cost her her old life?

Anyway, they will live until the fourth day of junior high school and leave, and they will only live for a few days.

After Sister Huo and Second Sister Huo had eaten and drunk enough, they went home with a full burp.

The three little girls of the Huo family went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, burn the kang, and boil the water together.

In the Huo family, the status of the two eldest girls is much higher than that of the three little girls.

These three little girls were born after Aunt Huo had been looking for her son for many years to no avail. I was expecting another son to inherit the incense, but giving birth to one was a girl and one was a girl, which disappointed Aunt Huo and almost strangled these three dead girls.

Because of disappointment, Aunt Huo is not rare at all these girls, she yells at them all day long, the girls are so old, she doesn't let them go to school, she lets them work at home, and always picks their noses and eyes, which is not good for them at all.

It's the two big girls who were born without any emotions back then, so it's better to treat the two big girls all these years. Whatever food is delicious at home, these two big girls can come, which has developed their selfish and domineering temperament, taking this home as their own, eating whatever delicious food in the house, and wanting to take advantage of any cheapness, and treating their three younger sisters as their little girls.

Thanks to Grandma Huo, she feels sorry for a few little girls, she helps them a lot on weekdays, and she is always kind to them, teaching them life experience and the truth of life, so under the education of grandma, several little girls are very sensible, and they are very close to grandma, which is also one of the reasons why the old lady can't leave home.

After the sisters cleaned up the kitchen and heated up their grandmother's kang and their father's kang, Xiaoqiu went to the Westinghouse to burn the kang for Han Mingxiu with a basket of leaves.

At this time, Han Mingxiu had finished eating and was resting on the kang.

Seeing that Xiaoqiu came in, she still came to burn the kang for her, Han Mingxiu got up and went to the ground to burn it herself, she was embarrassed to trouble the child.

Xiaoqiu said: "Sister-in-law, if you are not feeling well, I will burn it for you, anyway, it is not a hard work, I will burn it in a few clicks, you can lie down and rest." ”

Seeing Xiaoqiu so well-behaved and obedient, Han Mingxiu was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that a mother like Aunt Huo could raise such a sensible child.

Xiaoqiu didn't expect that such an unintentional move would make her sister-in-law look at her with admiration. So much so that she was vigorously supported by her sister-in-law in her later life, which made her from a little-known little sparrow in the countryside to a veritable golden phoenix.

Of course, this is all for later, and I will mention it later.

……

More than an hour later, Huo Jianfeng came back, took a brazier from the kitchen, broke some branches in it, and carried the brazier into the back room.

Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo were sitting on the kang to pay tribute, and when they saw Huo Jianfeng coming in, Aunt Huo hurriedly pulled off her apron to cover a bunch of small denomination coins on the kang head.

The money was all collected by them at today's wedding banquet, but she had already told Han Mingxiu repeatedly that she had no money. So they must not be allowed to worry about their own money.

Huo Jianfeng saw that the eldest lady looked like he couldn't get on the stage, and his heart should have turned over, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he entered his room without squinting.

At this moment, the room was already hot with Xiaoqiu, and Han Mingxiu was lying on the kang and burning his stomach.

In the past few days of menstruation, her little belly is always cold, and she burns it on the hot kang head, just like cupping, but it is comfortable.

"Why did you come in with a brazier? Our house is not cold, Xiaoqiu just burned it, you see how hot it is. Han Mingxiu turned over and sat up.

Huo Jianfeng put the brazier on the kang, smiled, took out more than a dozen dead sparrows from the pockets of his clothes on both sides, and shook them in front of her, "Didn't you have dinner?" Cook a house finch (skillfully) for you to eat. ”

"Yo, did you go out to fight the house finch (qiao)? So much older for a while? Han Mingxiu sat cross-legged on the kang, like a serious rural daughter-in-law.

Huo Jianfeng lit the fire in the brazier, and said with a somewhat smug look: "Your man is a sharpshooter who wears through Yang in a hundred steps, and it's not a piece of cake to shoot a few sparrows!" ”

Han Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Can't you be modest?" ”

Huo Jianfeng said unashamedly: "I call it honesty, excessive modesty is pride!" ”

Laughing, the fire was lit, but you can't burn the house finch immediately, you have to wait until the fire is extinguished and burn it with charcoal, otherwise you will have to burn the paste.

Taking advantage of the brazier to burn the fire, Huo Jianfeng went to the kitchen again, brought Han Mingxiu a basin of warm water, asked her to wash her face and feet, and thoughtfully prepared clean towels and foot cloths for her.

Han Mingxiu washed his face first, and then washed his feet with the water that washed his face, and after washing, Huo Jianfeng was about to go out with the basin to pour it.

Han Mingxiu hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "It's better for me to pour it, if your aunt sees you pouring water for washing my feet, it should be a matter again." ”

Huo Jianfeng smiled and said sarcastically: "If there is no gold chain, there may be many things happening here, but with that gold chain, as long as you don't lift the roof for her, it is estimated that there will be nothing." ”

When Han Mingxiu heard this, he felt that he was very reasonable, so he let him go.

Sure enough, Aunt Huo saw Huo Jianfeng carrying a basin of water in and out, knowing where he was serving his daughter-in-law, but she didn't meddle with anything.

Hmph, it's not her own son, and if she is willing to serve her daughter-in-law, let him serve her, what's the matter with her? As long as she wants the gold chain, it's easy to say anything......
