Chapter 255: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who is more capable
"How much does it cost?" Before anyone else could say anything, Mrs. He asked first.
"Like everyone else, I have a few hundred articles a month."
"Then, let Xia Er go, Xia Er is like a bitter scoop at home, and it's so brisk and brisk to go!" Mrs. He spoke quickly, and didn't look at Ma's changed face at all.
"Also in the middle ......" Old Man He also felt sorry for this well-behaved and hard-working girl, and nodded: "Then Xia Er will go." ”
He Xia'er happened to wash the dishes and came in from outside the house, and she was stunned when she heard the words.
He Zao smiled at her: "Sister Xia'er, will my persimmon workshop work later?" ”
He Xia'er looked very excited, her hands and feet didn't know where they were, and she said incoherently: "That, that kind of ...... What to do at home? ”
She was a little apprehensive.
"Your eldest lady, Forsythia is at home, you don't have to worry about it."
Old Man He disagreed.
In addition to He Xia'er, there are many daughters in the family, and they can work if they are assigned.
Ma snorted softly from his nostrils.
Forsythia's face was also ugly, thinking that He Zao was still hating himself, so he glared at He Zao hatefully.
The latter was completely unheeded.
She has always wanted to help poor He Xia'er, but she didn't have a chance, when the workshop accepted people, she also wanted to accept her to do work, which was better than looking at people's faces at home, but she was rejected by He Xia'er before she put forward the words, she was afraid that Ma would not allow it, and she would make trouble in the old house.
Thinking about the personality of the old house, He Zao never said it again.
This time, Old Man He took the initiative to mention it, so she took the opportunity to mention He Xia'er, which was just right.
Old man He is very unimpressed with who does housework, they are all women, they can do it, they didn't do it before because they were lazy, and now no one helps them do it, so they can still do it and wait to starve to death!
However, He Xia'er went to work in the workshop for two days, and her hometown was almost turned upside down.
First of all, I got up early in the morning, no one cooked, I asked around, Ma Shi said that she did it last night, and washed her clothes, she was very tired, and she got up late in the morning, and she had to go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva later, and she didn't have time.
asked Forsythia again, Forsythia was very aggrieved: "I have never cooked a big family's meal, I can't cook, and besides, I have to go with my mother!" Pray for grandma, you two bless! ”
asked Mrs. He again, and the latter was even more innocent: "There is a daughter-in-law who also instructed me to do everything, whether I married a daughter-in-law and came back or an ancestor!" ”
Old man He was also very annoyed, and looked at He Tanger'er again and asked her what she was doing, of course He Tanger'er had something to say, and she was confident: "If you have a sister-in-law, do you want your sister-in-law to do work?" There's no such rule when you go out and ask anyone! ”
made Old Man He so angry.
After asking around, no one wanted to cook, and finally he was ruthless and cooked by himself.
He also suffered when he was a child, and he was also a good hand at cooking and laundry, which was difficult for him.
He Tanger's couldn't see it, pointed at Ma's hatred and scolded her, Ma quarreled with her, and the scolding was so ugly that He Tanger's sister-in-law who was not married almost died of anger, and rushed to the room crying in a hurry, shame and shame.
Mrs. He was distressed, pointed at Ma and then scolded.
This time they didn't do anything, but the two of them directly scolded Old Man He for making the meal.
The latter didn't call anyone to eat, just sat down to eat, kicked open the curtain, and saw that the two were still scolding, and no one in the family spoke out to persuade him, so he was ruthless, and splashed a pot of yellow gnocchi on the ground, and the splashed soup scalded the back of Ma's hand, and the latter immediately screamed.
"Don't eat it! Starve to death! Old Man He was hungry and went out angrily.
After the autumn, he will develop the habit of going into the mountains to collect firewood in the morning, the countrymen will live, since the autumn, he will take the time to go to the mountains to pick up firewood, and accumulate until the snow in winter, he can accumulate a few large bundles, cook and cook on the fire, one winter is enough.
Moreover, there are many trees on the mountain, so there is no need to cut them, just the dry branches that fall from the ground are enough.
When I went out, because I was going to the back mountain, I passed Uncle He's house, and when I passed by the door, there was a burst of cheerful laughter from He Zao and Qibao inside, and then thinking back to the messy situation in his house, Old Man He dug his lips and sighed deeply.
"It's all too heavy, it's too heavy, it's not worrying at all......"
He Xia'er came out early in the morning, and didn't even eat breakfast, He had already told her before, asking her to find her at home first, and then go to the persimmon workshop together.
After going back at noon, He Xia'er knew that there was no breakfast at home, and that the lunch was made by Mrs. He, who soaked two nests with yellow gnocchi and cooked them together, mixed them with green vegetables, and served them on the table.
Mrs. He's cooking skills, everyone in the He family knows that it is extremely unpalatable.
Just like this made pimple soup, there is hardly a lump in a bowl, it is sparse, and the nest is also boiled to pieces, and when you drink it, you will feel a taste similar to rancid water.
He Xia'er, an unpicky person, also frowned and swallowed it with a stalk in his throat.
The greens were too cooked in boiling water, a little bitter, and very soft to chew, without any taste, and very little salt, light and light.
He Xia'er took a bite of green vegetables and resolutely refused to eat any more.
After drinking the pimple soup, she sat down and prepared to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After the separation, these are basically her business.
The rest of the He family didn't eat well, and they grinned one by one, and it was extremely hard.
But Old Man He didn't allow it, he drank a bowl of rice without changing his face, then smoked a big cigarette and instructed He Xia'er: "You go to the workshop to work, you are tired, go back and rest for a while, you don't have to do this work!" ”
Dafang Ma Shi threw a dissatisfied glance at him, and muttered again: "No, I'm done, and I'm still a daughter, this can't be done!" A money-losing goods! ”
He Xia'er's face turned red, lowered her head, and stood in place not daring to say anything.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you wash the dishes today." Mrs. He looked at her, and her tone was still indignant: "The food I cooked, why do you have to brush a bowl as a daughter-in-law, right?" ”
She was angry because at noon, she quarreled with Ma again, but she still couldn't quarrel with her, and she was afraid that Old Man He would come back and really have nothing to eat, so she had to cook herself, and she kept holding her breath in her heart.
"What about sister-in-law?" Ma replied, slowly and logically: "Whose sister-in-law sits there every day, like a mother-in-law, let people wait!" His sister-in-law didn't take it so much! ”
Her voice was a little louder with excitement.
The men of the He family all glanced at her.
"What's the matter, glaring at me like this is not upset with me, right? Or do you want to hit someone? Ma slapped the table.
Boss He couldn't help it, and persuaded in a low voice: "If you don't say a word, why is the anger so strong?" ”
The angry Ma immediately pointed the finger at him: "Are you blind or deliberately blind, ah! You didn't see that this family was cooperating to bully our mother, and you fathers didn't know how to come out and administer justice to my mother's family! We've all been bullied to death! ”
Mrs. He was angry: "Who bullied you, ah, who dares to bully you two in this family!" More capable than me, a mother-in-law! ”
