"Auntie, why did you come to our house?"

Liu Guiyuan put down the barrel, trotted to his aunt and asked her, Zhang stretched out his right hand and touched her hair and said, "You little girl, I can't come to your house, look at how you are doing, can't you?" ”

"Okay, my aunt can come if she wants, just like my grandmother." Liu Huahua followed behind and replied with a smile.

"You two are back, are you done with the work in the watermelon field, I'll go over tomorrow morning if it's not done?"

The eldest sister Liu Hongjube has just come back from the fourth grandmother's house, and today's ice powder is stored in her cellar, before leaving, the fourth grandmother handed her a handful of clean leeks, saying that there are many vegetables in the vegetable field, and told her to cut them after eating.

"It's been watered, the watermelon is growing okay, but there is a lot of grass, so let's go together." Liu Peanut poured out the pigweed and prepared to chop it to feed the chickens and pigs.

Liu Guiyuan saw that the eldest sister was holding leeks in her hand, and suddenly wanted to eat dumplings, just today Grandma and Aunt were there, so they said that they would eat dumplings at night, and the three sisters all said that they were good.

Just do it, the eldest sister washed the leeks, shook them several times outside the door, and then put them in the dustpan to dry, Liu Guiyuan rolled up his sleeves and scooped the noodles under the table, just scooped the white noodles, Aunt Zhang snatched it, and said while holding the dough: "Listen to your grandmother, you made ice powder at home and sent it to the town to sell, and you are very busy every day, you little girl, why are you so clever?" ”

Liu Guiyuan has nothing to do for the time being, standing behind his grandmother and teasing lotus seeds, he was a little embarrassed to hear his aunt say this, and the eldest sister Liu Hongzao took the conversation with a smile and said: "Guiyuan likes to eat, and if it's okay, I love to think about those foods, and I think about it, I can make it, in short, it's smarter than me and peanuts." ”

"Eldest sister, you said that you are not as good as her, why do you even bring me with you?" Liu Huahua fed the chickens and pigs, went to the west side house and got a fan, and complained while fanning.

"Jing, all three of you are fine, and they are all good granddaughters who are filial to their grandmother." Grandma Luo is happy, she has only lived for a few days, except for bringing lotus seeds and cooking, everything else has been rushed by them, which is better than being at home.

The aunt and the dough are awake, the eldest sister has already cut the leeks, there are many people and cook quickly, Liu Guiyuan called the second sister to go outside to make a fire, beat five eggs, fry them into broken eggs after stirring, and wait for them to cool and add oil and salt to the leeks to taste, the oil is sesame oil, the salt is ground fine salt, the leeks and eggs are pure natural and pollution-free, and they smell special after stirring into the flavor.

There are a lot of condiments at home, in addition to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are also more expensive seasonings such as peppercorns, spices, pepper, etc., which Liu Guiyuan bought through the town, but there is no need to put other seasonings in the leek egg filling, and the oil and salt alone are very fresh.

As soon as the leek filling was adjusted, the dough was almost awake, and several people sat around the square dining table, rolling the skin, making dumplings, and making dumplings, Grandma Luo didn't stretch out her hand, just sat on the side with lotus seeds and hummed a little song, and when the sky gradually darkened, the dumplings full of dustpans were wrapped and ready to go to the pot.

"You haven't eaten it yet, yo, this is a dumpling!" The second aunt, Li, held a bamboo dustpan and rushed into the hall in a hurry.

"The second aunt of red dates is here, have you eaten it, you haven't eaten it, sit down and eat it together, and the dumplings will be ready to go to the pot immediately." Grandma Luo stood up to greet her, and then introduced the little girl to who it was.

"It turns out that Aunt Gui Yuan is here, and your family is lively this time." Li stood and greeted Zhang, and then said to Grandma Luo with a smile: "I won't eat it, I haven't had time to eat at home, the bamboo tube cake that has just been made, pure white and crystal, please taste the taste, right?"

Li put the dustpan on the dining table, Liu Guiyuan patted his hands full of noodles, opened a few bamboo covers and looked, sure enough, it was a milky white and transparent bowl cake, she picked up a bamboo skewer and poked it, yes, it was quite soft, and took a bite of the crystal red bean-flavored bowl cake, well, yes, it's time to catch up with her craftsmanship.

"The thatched sugarcane water added here?" Liu Guiyuan tasted a hint of fresh sweetness.

"Well, add it, at first, your second uncle was troublesome, so he couldn't always make this kind of transparent, I don't think it's troublesome, how can it be troublesome to make money by doing business, right? I went to my mother's house and asked for two sugarcane, with the grass roots growing in the ground and boiled, not to mention that I really made this transparent bamboo tube cake. ”

Li's maiden brother planted an acre of sugarcane, sugarcane is cheaper than sugar, she boiled grass root sugarcane water has a natural sweetness, even if you add sugar, you only need to add a little, but it is not to save costs.

"Then you and the second uncle will go to the town tomorrow to sell bamboo tube cakes?"

Liu Guiyuan poked a piece of mung bean paste and handed it to Zhang, who was embarrassed to reach out for a long time, Zhang is only 19 years old this year, saying that she is an aunt, but in fact she is only four years older than her eldest sister, and she is actually like a big sister in her heart.

"I want to go tomorrow, the key steamer is not ready, the fastest tomorrow, Guiyuan, I want to ask you, can I go to the town with the dog baby tomorrow, you see me and your second uncle are doing business for the first time, a little scared?"

Li's original intention of coming today was to find Liu Guiyuan to help with this, she knew that the dog baby could be so good now, relying on Liu Guiyuan's guidance, so she just tried to make rice cakes tonight, so she had to bring them over and invite them to taste them, and by the way, she asked about it.

"Find Brother Dog, okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow morning, and you can just learn from him. But let's say it, when you and the second uncle become proficient, you can't always follow him. ”

What a big deal, Liu Guiyuan casually agreed, but she also kept a hand, and did not allow the second uncle's family to follow the dog baby to sell bamboo tube cakes, after all, ice powder and bamboo tube cakes are both summer cool snacks, strictly speaking, there is still competition.

Li got Liu Guiyuan's promise and went home happily, Liu Guiyuan hurriedly boiled underwater dumplings, and the whole family had a lively dinner.

After dinner, after everyone took turns to wash, the three sisters of Liu Guiyuan still slept in the west side room, and Grandma Luo, Lianzi and Zhang all rested in the back room. When the girls in the west side room were fully asleep, Grandma Luo sat up, patted her little daughter who was leaning against the wall and said, "Okay, now that everyone is asleep, tell me quickly, what happened at my mother-in-law's house?" ”

Her daughter knew that as soon as she came, Grandma Luo saw that she had cried, although her eyes were not swollen, but the eye circles were slightly red, and there was a faint red blood in them, which seemed to be crying.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about if you don't sleep, I'm fine at my mother-in-law's house, I just miss you and come to see you." Zhang's mouth was still stiff and refused to turn around.

"You are blind as a mother, can't you see if you are doing well? The last time I saw you, both eyes were smiling, today, my eyelids drooped, and I looked down and sighed from time to time, I was anxious, tell me quickly, but Dong came to bully you? Grandma Luo gently patted her daughter's back.

Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, pillowed his head on Grandma Luo's lap, and cried in his mouth, "Mother, I've always been good to me in winter, it's my mother-in-law, I don't like it every day, two days ago she went out to eat a full moon wine, and when she turned around, she said bad things about me in front of my two sisters-in-law, saying .....that I was a hen that didn't lay eggs." ”

Wei Donglai is the third in the family, and he has two older brothers, both of whom have married wives and have children, but she has married into the Wei family for two years, and she doesn't even have a letter, her mother-in-law naturally can't see it, when the two families were married, she was a little dissatisfied with her when she heard her sister-in-law talk about her mother-in-law, as for why she was dissatisfied, the sister-in-law didn't say.

Grandma Luo sighed in her heart when she heard this, she was really afraid of something, her eldest daughter Xiangxue was a little unhappy in childbirth, and now the little daughter should not encounter any ups and downs in this part of pregnancy, otherwise, Xiangqiao's life will be bitter.

"You have only been married into the Wei family for two years, and it is normal that you are not pregnant, your eldest brother, second brother and third sister in our family have children two years later than others, but you see, which of them is not a group of children? Don't worry, your body has been well maintained since you were a child, and the monthly letter is accurate, and it will be fine, wait a minute, this matter will not come in a hurry. Grandma Luo suppressed the thoughts in her heart and hurriedly persuaded her little daughter.

"But my mother-in-law spoke very ugly, not only this time, she also said that I will definitely be the same as my third sister when I get pregnant in the future, so I can give birth to a daughter, and my sister-in-law also told me......"

Didn't Zhang catch her mother-in-law, and poured bitter water on her mother-in-law, and when she heard it, Grandma Luo frowned, and quickly interrupted her and asked: "What did your sister-in-law tell you, let me ask you, your sister-in-law often says bad things about your mother-in-law in front of you?" How are you and your second sister-in-law getting along? ”

Zhang thought about it for a while, and simply said: "My sister-in-law and I get along well, I love to tell me everything, the second sister-in-law is silent, I don't have much contact with her, mother, why are you asking this?" ”

Grandma Luo poked the little girl's head with her fingers, looked at her innocent expression, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. At the beginning, she was worried that her little girl would suffer after she got married, so she chose a husband close to home for her, but she forgot that the Wei family's mother-in-law Wei Zheng's mouth was broken, and the two daughters-in-law of the Wei family, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, were the master of the eight sides, and her daughter was only played in front of her.

"When you marry into the Wei family, the first thing is to cherish your husband, and the second is to be filial to your mother-in-law, don't care about the people next to you, let me tell you, I'm afraid that your sister-in-law is a two-faced person, saying bad things about your mother-in-law in front of you, but talking about you in front of your mother-in-law, and when you get to your second sister-in-law, I don't know how to bury you." Grandma Luo patiently taught her how to be a daughter-in-law.

Although Zhang is naïve, but in the end her brain is not stupid, she said that it was impossible, and she lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying: "No wonder, no wonder the mother-in-law likes her the most among the three daughters-in-law, and rarely picks her off, and the second sister-in-law, I remember when I first entered the door, she was kind to me, but later ......"

Later, the second sister-in-law always squeezed her in front of her mother-in-law, and although the sister-in-law helped her round the field, in the end, her mother-in-law was even more dissatisfied with her. It turned out that the sister-in-law was such a person.

"Mother, what do you say I should do, and guard against my sister-in-law in the future?" Zhang sat up and asked his mother for experience.

Grandma Luo shook her head, but said: "Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not easy to get along with, you will definitely suffer a loss when you get along with them, fortunately, your man is the third, and when your sister-in-law marries, if your mother-in-law is enlightened enough to let the three brothers divide the family, you will not have to suffer this crime."

Zhang's sister-in-law Wei Xiahua is 17 years old this year, and she should get married at this age, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are both high-minded, and they always want to pick a son-in-law with a higher door for her.

Zhang's mouth pouted, her face was full of reluctance, Grandma Luo could only comfort her and endure it for another year or two, and finally asked her tentatively: "This time you and your mother-in-law are angry, and you can't help but run to me, Donglai knows about this, he didn't stop you?" ”

If Wei Donglai was present but didn't stop his daughter-in-law, it would only be because she looked away and didn't pick the right person for her daughter.

Zhang didn't want to smear Wei Donglai in front of his mother, although he was angry in his heart, he still said honestly: "Brother Donglai is not at home, I went out to do errands, I didn't tell others when I came here, I don't know if Brother Donglai can guess that I am here when he arrives home." ”

"You, you girl, how can you still be so childlike when you are married, even if you want to run away, you have to tell yourself that the man is so silent, where is he looking for you......"
