There are also good deeds who joke and ridicule: "The pig is fattened, but the daughter-in-law is as thin as a monkey!" ”

"Archie's mother, are you too partial? Even pigs can be fattened, but daughters-in-law are skinny, could it be intentional? ”

Li Ying was a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "She was born unlucky, and she doesn't know where to go with what she eats." The family eats in the same pot, she wants to be skinny, who can complain! ”

"Really, really? Is it really the same pot for rice? That's weird! Your daughter-in-law is really thin! ”

"It's too thin! I can't see that I can wear a big cotton jacket in winter, but in summer, she comes out to pick pig dung, and it looks like she can be blown away by a strong wind! ”

Gu Yi came home from time to time, and naturally knew that it was usually the old mother and sisters who had eaten enough before the sister-in-law could serve the leftovers on the table.

Although the neighbors didn't say it, they were all clear in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule.

He subconsciously smiled and glared at the old mother secretly.

I had already said about her, but she didn't listen, and pressed her sister-in-law with the posture of a feudal mother-in-law all day long - look! It almost sparked public outrage!

Li Ying has always been easy to get carried away, and when there is a lot of pork, people also float away, and she didn't find any hints about her youngest son.

"At a glance, you know that there is no blessing! I've never liked her skinny and shriveled appearance, like a sick seedling! ”

The neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and teased: "Ah! Don't be dissatisfied! Your daughter-in-law is very diligent and listens to you. As soon as people enter the door, they will give birth to a big fat grandson for you, and it is not enough to be blessed? Te is greedy! ”

"That's it! She works and cooks all day long, raising you all to be fat, even the little tiger and the big black in the front yard are meaty, but she is thin like that! You don't feel distressed, when Gu Qi comes back, he must be distressed! ”

Li Ying's face darkened, and she said angrily: "She is used to acting!" If Archie hadn't come back to support her, where would she dare to do it with me now! You can pinch her to death with a single finger! ”

Gu Yi was so angry that he secretly rolled his eyes and urged: "Mom! Cut the pork! ”

Li Ying came back to her senses with "oh oh" and began to prepare to sell pork.

All the neighbors, you look at me, I look at you, with a playful smile on the corner of your mouth.

They are well aware of Li Ying's long-term mistreatment of her daughter-in-law. It's just that because this is someone else's family matter, it's not good to point fingers and talk too much, so I secretly discuss it in private.

In addition, Li Ying is not the kind of person who can listen to persuasion, she is commanding all day long, and she looks like she is very good, and they don't dare to say her to her face, so they don't have to quarrel.

A neighbor came with a basket and asked, "I just bought dried fish for your daughter-in-law in the morning, I don't know if I want to buy pork...... Archie's mother, how do you sell this pork? ”

Li Ying remembered the wad of money that Chen Xingling had collected in the morning, and immediately left behind the "half sold and half given" discussed earlier.

"I sell whatever I want in the grocery market and the vegetable market. I don't need meat tickets, I'll sell one piece! ”

When the neighbors heard this, their faces were embarrassed, and some even slipped away quietly.

"Archie's mother, can it be cheaper? Tomorrow is the New Year, and the New Year's goods at home are almost ready. You pig was killed so late, and many people have already bought the meat. ”

"Yes! It's cheaper, let's go with a pound or two! ”

Li Ying's face immediately darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "One pound is cheap enough, I only went to kill it today, it's the freshest!" You go to the market to buy it, and you want meat tickets and money, but I don't need meat tickets here! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they made excuses and ran away in a hurry.

There were only two people who were really short of meat at home, so they bought two catties each, and gave money to leave.

"Roll the calves!" Li Ying scolded angrily: "I've been busy for most of the day, so I'll sell it for a few yuan!" W-what's going to do?! Just sell for a few bucks! ”

Gu Yi shrunk his neck, pretended not to hear, and turned around to chop up the ribs.

"Mom, why don't we make sweet and sour pork ribs tonight! I haven't eaten meat in years! ”

Li Ying was stunned for a moment and looked around.

"What about the one surnamed Chen? Where is she hiding and lazy?! I didn't see anyone for most of the day, and the pigs didn't come to help wash it up! Eat the pig in the water tonight! The ribs still have to be given away, and they have to be kept for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner! ”

At this time, Gu Qi brought a bucket of hot water over.

Xing'er is boiling water in the kitchen for cooking. There are so many pigs in the water that they can't finish it for a while. The frostbite on Xing'er's hands is not yet complete, so I can just come with Ah Yi. ”

Li Ying was secretly depressed when she heard this, and said irritably: "These dirty ones, how can you men wash them!" Anyway, wait until she's done cooking! ”

Gu Qi ignored her, scooped out some hot water and poured it into the large wooden basin, and began to clean it.

Li Ying was reluctant to let her son work, frowned and whispered: "What are you doing?" Your hands are the hands of drawing drawings, and these tasks should have been done by your daughter-in-law. She's busy now, so let her do it at night, and she can always get it done. ”

Gu Qi looked at her coldly and asked rhetorically: "With so many people in the family eating, why should she be left alone to do the work?" Mom, you always say that you are not allowed to eat if you don't work, how much have you done? How much did the big sister and the little sister do? ”

Li Ying was ashamed and said, "I'm going to find someone to buy pork." Then he ran out in a hurry.

Gu Yi saw that there was no one else in the backyard, so he lowered his voice: "Big brother, even the neighbors know that it is not easy for sister-in-law...... To be honest, it's really our mom who went too far. ”

"I know." Gu Qi said in a resolute tone: "I will pick her up and go back to Yucheng with Xiaohuzi." The tickets were all bought, and I set off on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Originally, he planned to leave on the fifth day of the first lunar month, but he couldn't buy a ticket for that day, and he also had a ticket on the eighth day of the first month, but he chose the morning of the fourth day of the first month.

My wife hasn't been back to her parents' house for a few years, and her heart has already returned to her heart. He was going to accompany her back to her parents' house for a few days, and then he started to get ready for work.

In addition, he has some important things to deal with, she said that she is going to Chongwen Middle School to transfer to the class, and he has to inquire first.

I thought she was just talking on a whim, but who knew that she was serious, and even said that she was going to take the college entrance examination in July next year!

Regardless of whether she is bold or not, if she wants to continue studying, he will support her with all his might.

In recent years, the school system in China has varied, some places have a five-year middle school system, and some have a three-three system. What happened to Yucheng, he still had to inquire carefully.

Gu Yi was stunned for half a second, and then smiled happily.

"Good! That's great! Big brother, I'll go to Yucheng to see you when I have time. Yucheng is a big city in the south, and I have wanted to go there for a long time! By the way, you can all come back for the Chinese New Year in the future, right? Remember to come back more often, or I'll miss Little Tiger too much! ”

Gu Qi raised his eyes to look at him and proposed, "Ah Yi, you might as well go to Yucheng with us." ”

Gu Yi: "......" !!
