Chapter 176 Pulling a mule cart out of the house
Before going out, Shen Su'e thought that since she was going to pretend to go back to Baihe Village to get food, she might have to stay outside for a while longer, and she couldn't come back too soon.
A little uneasy about Tugen, she gently pushed the little boy on the bed, "Tugen, I'll go out with Lingbao, you continue to sleep, if you wake up and don't see us, go find your uncle and grandma to eat, you know?" ”
Tugen slept in a daze, and when he heard his grandmother's words, he didn't open his eyes, and answered vaguely, "I know, you guys will come back early." ”
"Okay." Shen Su'e twisted the corners of the quilt for Tugen.
After that, she walked to the backyard with flour in one hand and a large basket of eggplants in the other, because the eggplants were too full, and several of them fell on the road during the period, and they were all picked up by Lingbao in her hands and put them back in the bamboo basket.
After making sure that nothing was left behind, Shen Su'e covered a large basket of eggplants and white flour with a linen cloth, and then carried Lingbao onto the cart and pulled the mule to prepare to go out.
As soon as the mule cart came out of the yard, Zhao Cuilan's voice came from behind, "Is it Su'e?" Where are you going with Lingbao this morning? ”
"I don't have anything to eat, I'll go back to Baihe Village to get something to eat......"
When she was questioned before, Zhao Cuilan only heard the sound of the wheels and didn't see anyone, but now when she heard her sister-in-law's words, she walked quickly to the backyard and saw that Su'e was already preparing to leave with the mule cart, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't there still pumpkin to eat?" ”
Shen Su'e pulled the mule cart out of the backyard, and before closing the door, she said to her sister-in-law: "Those pumpkins are easy to spoil, I still have to go back and order white noodles, there is no food around, I am not sure, I am always worried that Lingbao will not be able to eat enough." ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and immediately said: "By the way, sister-in-law, if you like pumpkin, you can steam some more today......
I'll go home, I don't know when I'll be back, maybe I won't be back until the afternoon, you remember to help me take care of Tugen, don't let him go hungry. ”
Hearing that Su'e agreed to eat pumpkin by herself, Zhao Cuilan's face was full of smiles, and she waved her hand and said happily, "Okay, don't worry." ”
Seeing that the backyard door was closed, Zhao Cuilan happily walked to her sister-in-law's room, and walked to the kitchen with one of the pumpkins in her arms, "Ouch, this pumpkin is really heavy, this piece is estimated to be more than ten pounds, right?" ”
She cut the pumpkin in half, dug the middle pulp and seeds into a pot, and cut the rest into a dozen portions and put them in the pot to steam.
By the time her two daughters-in-law arrived in the kitchen, she had already covered the pot and started to light the fire. I'm too lazy to call you, you just procrastinate, and you don't come out to cook until now? ”
"Mother, I didn't sleep well yesterday because I was happy, so I got up a little late." Wang Chunmiao was sleep-deprived and yawned as she explained.
"Me too," Liao Guifen complained, "I was already asleep, but I was woken up by Deshun......"
Squinting her eyes and yawning, her eyes filled with tears, "I don't sleep well, I sleep lightly, and I always have nightmares in the middle of the night...... Didn't Lingbao say that I was deficient in calcium or something? Ouch, I don't know what time I fell asleep last night, and I tossed to death. ”
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Wang Chunmiao frowned and asked, "It seems that you are blaming my family for being smooth." ”
Liao Guifen immediately replied: "Who is to blame? Did I mean that? I'm just going to explain to my mother why I got up so late......"
"I heard what you mean to blame Deshun, Deshun found out that Dexi was not in the house at night, and came to me to discuss with his father, what's the problem? He didn't mean to wake you up, why are you so stingy as an aunt? ”
"Am I stingy?" Liao Guifen asked angrily, and asked her mother-in-law, "Mother, you give us a good review, is she unreasonable in this matter today?" She's so funny, I said it well, didn't I? ”
Zhao Cuilan glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law, and then at the second daughter-in-law, "Second daughter-in-law, you really ignored this matter, what did people say about Zhao Pingniang?" Did you eat gunpowder early in the morning? Such a menacing one. ”
Wang Chunmiao clenched her fists, "I understand, Dexi is not our family's blessing now, mother, you must be partial to your sister-in-law now." ”
"What do you mean favoring your sister-in-law?"
Zhao Cuilan put down the iron tongs in her hand and said angrily: "I went to your aunt's house to get a pumpkin, and I thought that you and Dexi didn't eat it yesterday, so I specially cut a few pieces for you, so you just put on a face for me?" ”
Liao Guifen's eyes widened in surprise, "What? Mother, you secretly went to the aunt's house to get a pumpkin? If my aunt found out, she would be angry, right? ”
"What's the point? She asked me to go to her house and steam the pumpkin and eat it. ”
After that, Zhao Cuilan said that their eldest aunt took Lingbao home to get food, "Don't look at her usually doesn't seem to have a good temper, in fact, she is still very soft-hearted, and she is quite generous......"
Liao Guifen nodded, "The eldest aunt is indeed good. ”
"Hiss", Wang Chunmiao muttered, "I guess she knows that this pumpkin will go bad if she doesn't eat it for a long time, right?" Just take it out and do it as a favor. ”
Zhao Cuilan said unhappily: "What are you talking about?" If you don't like to eat, don't eat it, and don't say some weird sour words, it makes me uncomfortable to listen to! ”
Her eldest daughter-in-law echoed: "That's it, what kind of favor does the eldest aunt do?" Her Lingbao is a little lucky star, is it necessary for her to be a favor? I did a favor to you, what can you repay her? ”
"What little lucky star? Don't be a monster......"
As soon as Wang Chunmiao said this, her mother-in-law wrinkled her brows tightly and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? I know that you don't feel comfortable because Lingbao said that the birthmark on your forehead is not rich and expensive, but you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense, and Lingbao is just telling the truth, you ......"
"It has nothing to do with the birthmark, I suspect that I am happy!" Wang Chunmiao interrupted her mother-in-law's words, "I chatted with Dexi for a while yesterday, and I feel that she is strange, if you don't believe it, you can see for yourself later." ”
Zhao Cuilan and Liao Guifen were stunned almost at the same time.
"What?" It took a long time for Zhao Cuilan to come back to her senses, "What did you just say?" Got a joy in the middle of evil? ”
"I feel like I'm in the middle of an evil spirit, didn't I eat all day yesterday? I said I was going to steam a sweet potato for her to eat, so she wouldn't be so hungry that she couldn't sleep, but she said she was full and not hungry at all, weird, right? ”
Liao Guifen listened to her younger siblings and wondered: "Even if it's a bit strange for her to say that she is not hungry, what does this have to do with Lingbao?" ”
"Did you forget? Yesterday Dexi went out with Lingbao, but after coming back, it was strange, and said a lot of good things about Lingbao, as if it was a different person, and I and Dexi her father both wondered if Dexi was possessed by a ghost. ”
"What? Why are you possessed by a ghost? Don't talk so wickedly......"
Wang Chunmiao said with a determined face: "Anyway, you will have to get up later, you can see for yourself, Lingbao must have secretly done it for her." ”
