Chapter 16: Eat a lot of salt
Josie came home slowly, and met Qiao's mother at the gate who was about to go out to find someone.
Qiao's mother didn't take off the apron on her body, and when she saw Josie, she asked, "Where have you been in the blink of an eye?" Don't say a word! ”
Seeing that Qiao's mother was worried about herself, Josie hurriedly explained: "It's okay to be idle at home, just walk around." ”
Qiao's mother was very dissatisfied: "You are really idle, if you want to go, you can wait until your feet are good before leaving!" ”
Josie playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Alright, let's eat." Qiao's mother grabbed Josie's arm and walked in: "The loofah scrambled eggs you want to eat, Mom made them fragrant for you." ”
The Qiao family eats in the courtyard in the summer, and the dining table is placed under the hawthorn tree in the courtyard, and the men of the Qiao family are serving food at this moment.
Seeing Josie coming, Qiao Bei hurriedly brought the only small bench with a backrest to the front and let Josie sit.
This small bench was Qiao Bei's favorite to sit on when he was a child, and Josie felt that his foot injury was not a big problem: "I don't need it, you can sit down." ”
Qiao Bei hesitated, Qiao's mother swept over with a look, and Qiao Bei sat on another small stool.
Josie glanced at Qiao's mother helplessly, and in order to save trouble, she had to sit down on a small bench with a backrest.
After sitting down, I found that with the backrest, the injured foot was indeed more comfortable.
The meal was very hearty, not only with three dishes, but also with meat and soup, and the family ate deliciously.
After eating, everyone sat lazy, Qiao's father said the afternoon's arrangement, Qiao Dong, Qiao Bei, and Qiao Nan followed Qiao's father to continue to the square to get wheat, while Qiao's mother rested at home and picked up the house by the way.
After taking a nap at noon, Qiao's father left with his sons, and Qiao's mother also got up to work.
When I got married to Josie, I borrowed a lot of neighbors' pots and pans, and I had to wash them one by one and return them back.
Qiao's mother was scrubbing in the kitchen, and Josie walked over to help, but Qiao's mother didn't let her: "You have a sick number, go and rest!" ”
Josie couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, I hurt my feet, and I didn't hurt my hands, wiping the bowl doesn't affect it!" ”
Qiao's mother still refused: "Just order the bowl, I will wash it in two clicks, don't let you scrub it, you stay aside, don't make a mess for me." ”
Josie listened to the familiar words and thought of the hard work she finally experienced after marrying into the Yang family in her previous life.
At that time, she understood Qiao's mother's rough surface and felt sorry for her intentions.
Women in the countryside, after getting married, basically work and operate, not only to earn money, but also to cook and wash dishes, which is too hard.
So before getting married, Qiao's mother did her best to let her live happily and enjoy it.
Josie snorted, insisted on picking up the rag, and wiped the bowls one by one.
Qiao's mother was just about to preach a few words, but she met Qiao Xi's slightly red eyes, and the words that came to her mouth turned around, and her voice became gentle: "Mom has a sensible girl like you, it's really a blessing for Mom." ”
Josie sniffed, "What a blessing to wipe a bowl." ”
Having Qiao's mother is her blessing.
Qiao's mother sighed, and her voice was raised: "You look like you're wiping dishes, but you actually feel sorry for your mother and me!" Don't think I can't see it! ”
Josie burst out laughing.
Qiao's mother also laughed.
After the two washed the dishes, they wiped the stove carefully, and when it was almost done, Qiao's mother cut the watermelon, and sat side by side with Qiaoxi under the apple tree, eating while enjoying the cold.
Qiao's mother gnawed the watermelon carefully, and did not stop until she reached the green skin, she nibbled two pieces, and asked Josie: "Wait a minute, I will send watermelon to your father, you won't go, what do you want to eat tonight, Mom will come back and make it for you." ”
Josie took a sip of watermelon water in her mouth and shook her head.
In the past, cooking and washing dishes at home were all done by sister-in-law Sun Hailan, but now that Sun Hailan was driven back to her parents' house, Qiao's mother did it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help it, and asked tentatively: "Mom, what are you going to do with the matter of sister-in-law?" ”
Qiao's mother: "Haven't you already said how to deal with it?" ”
Josie: "Yes, it's just ......"
Qiao's mother looked at her tangled daughter, reached out and rubbed it: "What's the matter, I can't bear it?" Mom tells you that the connivance of bad people is cruelty to yourself! ”
"I ......" Josie sighed, "I'm embarrassed to see my eldest brother......"
Qiao's mother paused: "Then let him think of his own solution, he still wants to live with Sun Hailan, he can split up with us, anyway, he is also a man in his twenties and thirties, and he can be the master of the house." ”
Seeing that Josie still hadn't made up her mind, Qiao's mother put down the watermelon and said seriously: "Girl, you haven't realized how wrong Sun Hailan is, Mom will tell you."
We are women, once we marry the wrong person, this life will be ruined, Sun Hailan She is a person who has suffered, she knows better than anyone that it is not easy for us women, but she still does this kind of thing to you, pushing you into the fire pit, it is too dark-hearted!
In the past, her mother could turn a blind eye to her little movements, but this time, her mother must not leave her by her side! ”
Josie felt Josie's determination again.
She also became determined in an instant.
Even if the eldest brother is in trouble, she can't forgive the person who hurt her because of a moment of soft-heartedness.
The bloody lessons of the previous life are in front of you!
Besides, in her previous life, after she got married and Qiao Nan married her daughter-in-law, this big family was still separated.
It's okay to divide it early now.
She nodded, "Mom, I know what to do." ”
Don't say that Sun Hailan doesn't apologize sincerely, even if she sincerely admits her mistake because of remorse, she won't forgive.
When Qiao's mother heard her words, she instantly narrowed her eyes.
Her burning eyes stared at Josie, "Did your eldest brother tell you something?" ”
Josie sighed and shook her head quickly, "No." ”
Qiao's mother: "That's Sun Hailan's cowardice looking for you." ”
Josie was anxious: "No! No! ”
Qiao's mother said in an affirmative tone: "Impossible, if nothing else happens, why would you suddenly hesitate so much, say it quickly, what the hell is going on, if you don't say I'll ask the boss later!" ”
"Don't......"
Josie was really impressed by Qiao's mother, she just mentioned it, how could she be guessed at once!
If Qiao's mother went to find Qiao Dong, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
Qiao Xi had no choice but to tell Qiao's mother what she overheard Sun Hailan and Qiao Dong saying.
In order to avoid Qiao's mother from getting angry, she didn't say that Sun Hailan still refused to admit her mistake.
When Mother Qiao heard this, she snorted coldly: "I had already guessed that it would be like this!" ”
Josie was incredulous: "Mom, how did you guess?" ”
Qiao's mother sighed: "The old lady has eaten more salt than your doll has eaten, so how can Sun Hailan be willing to divorce your eldest brother, she must find a way to come back!" It's a pity that the old lady is hard-hearted this time, and she won't let her come back if she does anything. did something wrong, and wanted to continue to enjoy happiness in front of her mother without separating her family, she wanted to be beautiful! ”
She said and looked at Josie again: "Girl, you remember, you are not allowed to turn your elbow outward, you have to support your mother's decision, understand?" ”
The unbearable feeling of Josie for her eldest brother in her heart also dissipated under Qiao's mother's explanation and laughter: "Understood, I know how to do it." ”
