Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 10 Tears Don't Dry Tonight
Linli family, should help each other, this is a sentence that Meng's mother often warned Meng Li when she was alive, Meng Li's family has lived with Meng Rou's family since they moved to Mengjia Village, Meng Li and Meng Rou are not only excellent playmates who grew up together, their mother is also a very good sister, like brothers.
Five years ago, Meng Li's family suffered a huge blow, and the mother and son were helpless, so they relied on the support of Meng Rou's family.
The people in the small village have never seen much of the world, their personalities are very rough, and they like to make fun of children, Meng Li and Meng Rou were always inseparable when they were children, so they were teased by the elders in the family, and almost ordered a baby parent.
When he left the room, he turned around and re-entered the door, and he didn't take a few steps before he came to Meng Rou's house. The two of them live very close to each other, only separated by a fence wall, and when they usually have nothing to do, they can see each other's yards.
As soon as Meng Li entered the door, he heard a high-pitched voice.
"Oh, my little Meng Li, you can be regarded as coming, come on, come on, try your aunt's fish noodle soup just out of the pot." ”
Hearing this incomparably familiar voice, Meng Li smiled helplessly, and when he looked up, he saw a pale red enthusiastic figure rushing over.
Meng Li slid away, hurriedly dodged the pounce of the comer, hid behind Meng Jiangxi, who was blowing his beard and glaring at him, and smiled helplessly at the figure: "Aunt Liu, can't I come here, just spare me!"
Without waiting for Aunt Liu, who didn't "get cheap", to speak, Meng Jiangxi, who was eating sullen vinegar in front of Meng Li, was unwilling.
"What do you say, you little rabbit cub just don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, and your Aunt Liu hasn't been so enthusiastic about me for a long time. ”
Liu Hui, who was wearing a light red dress on the side, crossed her hands on her waist and glared at Meng Jiangxi fiercely, "What did you old guy say in front of children, are you ashamed?"
Meng Jiangxi was stared at by his wife, and quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking, so that the pair of children who were watching the play on the side laughed.
Meng Jiangxi's youngest son, Meng Nan, is only four years old this year, this little doll has been quirky since he was a child, so he can cause trouble, but like his sister, he was born extremely cute, just like a porcelain doll carved in pink and jade, even if it causes trouble, it makes people can't bear to blame.
Meng Nan, who had a pigtail on his head, saw Meng Li's eyes lit up, and quietly walked to Meng Li's side and whispered: "Brother Meng Li, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back overnight?"
Meng Nan is still young, and it is almost a big deal for him not to return overnight, and this big brother next door who has watched him grow up since he was a child dares to do something that he can't even think of, it is really exciting.
Meng Li turned his head to look at the porcelain doll that was close at hand, and said in surprise: "How do you know about this?"
Meng Nan said proudly: "Of course I have my own way. Looking at him, he seemed to be terrible, but he turned his head and said mysteriously: "Tell you a secret! My sister actually knows about it, and she was worried about it all night, but she won't let me tell you." ”
Meng Li glanced at Meng Rou on the other side, who was staring at him with a pair of bright big eyes at this time, and when he saw that there was a gaze, he hurriedly turned his head in a panic.
When Meng Li saw her like this, he felt funny and moved in his heart.
The meal was already ready and waiting for the guests to arrive. With the arrival of Meng Li, everyone sat down and enjoyed this dinner one after another.
Since Meng was going to come here for a meal every three or five days, the matters at the dinner were already familiar, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
After everyone sat down, the atmosphere changed, and compared with the previous joy, it was a little heavier. Everyone looked at Aunt Liu in unison, only to see that the latter had already held an empty bowl in his hand, and the other hand held a soup spoon and scooped a bowl of soup in the large soup basin in the center of the dining table.
"Drink, kid, this is your mother's best fish noodle soup before!"
Looking at the milky white noodle soup, Meng Li's eyes were slightly red, and he had obviously decided not to cry anymore, but there is always a warm corner in this world that makes you can't help but burst into tears. Fortunately, he can still endure it.
"Look at it silly, drink it quickly!" Liu Hui, who was pleased, couldn't help but urge softly, when her good sister had not died, she was best at this pot of fish noodle soup, and when the two of them got together, they would often discuss this noodle soup, and over time, she also learned.
When I first made this fish noodle soup, the taste was still lacking, but fortunately, the key points were correct, and after several improvements, I could barely find the previous taste. This time, on her birthday, this noodle soup was a perfect opportunity.
Meng Li looked at the middle-aged woman in a light red dress and said movingly: "Thank you, Aunt Liu, today is your birthday, but I haven't prepared anything." ”
Liu Hui doesn't have many clothes, and the only thing that looks decent is this light red dress, which is usually very cherished, and will only be worn on his birthday, Meng Li has found out about this situation as soon as he entered the house, but he didn't say it on the spot.
Liu Hui's expression of relief was even stronger, and it was still those two words that came out of her mouth.
"Drink!"
Meng Li took the soup bowl and took a sip almost carefully, he drank it very lightly, and the story in it needed him to savor more than the taste in the soup.
"How is it?" Meng Jiangxi's family looked at Meng Li, their expressions full of anticipation.
"It's delicious!" Meng Li put the bowl down, no expression on his face.
"It's just delicious?" Aunt Liu, who thought that it shouldn't be just this evaluation, couldn't help but give herself a bowl, and before she could pick up the bowl, she heard Meng Li say again: "It's my mother's taste." ”
A line of hot tears flowed out of her expressionless face, Liu Hui's hands were stiff in the air, looking at this stubborn but irrepressible face, she could no longer suppress the sourness in her heart, hiding her face with her hands, tears flowing.
"Woo......" At this moment, she misses her sister so much.
"Alas, you have to make yourself cry, why are you doing this!" Meng Jiangxi shook his head and looked up to the sky, and drank all the glass of wine he had poured for himself, the wine was a turbid inferior rice wine, and the wine tasted spicy, and Meng Jiangxi, who usually couldn't help but complain after taking a sip, felt that it was just right at this time.
Meng Li stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, but before he could wipe them away, the tears flowed out again, flowing down uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to.
Meng Li forcibly controlled his emotions, his face was expressionless, he was afraid that this would be out of control, but the taste of memory finally gave him a heavy blow, not only defeating him, but also leaving him incomplete.
Tonight is the time for memories, tonight, tears are destined not to dry!
A meal, but the food is mixed, a few people cry, laugh and laugh, talk about trouble, and harvest a lot.
After eating, Liu Hui cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Meng Rou was supposed to help, but was stopped by Meng Jiangxi, but it was this big man who had never taken care of housework and took the initiative to beat his wife.
The husband and wife were busy in the kitchen, Meng Nan felt bored, so he ran to the yard to catch fireflies, and in a blink of an eye, there were only two people in the living room, Meng Li and Meng Rou.
"Brother Meng Li, do you want to eat some wild fruits?"
The two got along alone, Meng Li didn't care, but Meng Rou, who was a woman, was a little shy, blushed, and pushed a plate of wild fruits on the table in front of Meng Li.
It's also interesting to think about, Meng Rou, who has been chasing Meng Li behind her ass when she was a child, is not tired enough, but now she has grown up and is sensible, but she has lost her previous restraints, but her heart has never been put down.
Meng Li waved his hand, said "no", and instead of looking at the wild fruits on the table, he turned his attention to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the husband and wife who were busy, you and I were chatting one by one, although they were already trying their best to control their voices, Meng Li still vaguely heard their conversation, in addition to what happened to him during the day, there seemed to be some things related to Meng Rou.
Meng Rou, who also heard the conversation in the kitchen, blushed even more, exactly the same as the ripe wild fruit on the table.
"You already know what happened today. Hearing the conversation in the kitchen, and seeing Meng Rou's expression, Meng Li also understood.
Meng Rou nodded and said, "It was Xiao Nan who told us, and when you went to the martial arts field today, he happened to be there." ”
"I should have thought of it a long time ago. Meng Li smiled bitterly: "Let you see the smile." ”
Seeing his sad appearance, Meng Rou felt a pain in her heart and comforted: "Brother Meng Li, don't be discouraged, that martial artist is simply talking nonsense, in my eyes, Brother Meng Li, you are the best." ”
"That's right. The husband and wife, who were busy in the kitchen, suddenly put down their work and walked out of the kitchen.
Liu Hui looked at Meng Li and said, "I also heard about today's incident, our family knows your personality better than anyone else, that martial artist said that you are cold by nature, and you are simply a fart!"
"Ahem, be cautious, daughter-in-law!" Meng Jiangxi looked at Liu Hui, who was so bold that he dared to say anything, with a wry smile on his face, if this was heard by that martial artist, could they have good fruits to eat? However, although this is a bit bold, the truth is correct. Once they met, how could they compare to more than ten years of contact, and if they wanted to talk about their understanding of Meng Li, how could anyone compare to their family?
Liu Hui, who glared at Meng Jiangxi fiercely, continued to say heroically: "If you want me to see, today's matter is nothing, even if we are not martial artists, we can live well, from tomorrow onwards, you will officially go out of the water with your Uncle Meng, and when you learn your Uncle Meng's craft, you will not starve to death wherever you go." ”
Meng Jiangxi echoed: "That's right, when it comes to my Meng Jiangxi's fishing skills, who doesn't give a thumbs up in ten miles and eight villages, let's work hard in the future, and when I'm old, this family will have to rely on you to support it." ”
Looking at Meng Jiangxi's eyes full of hope, Meng Li was moved and shocked at the same time, the tall elder in front of him not only wanted to pass on this craftsmanship to him, but also gave him his home and his daughter TOEFL, this trust is not heavy.
"Uncle Meng, I ......"
Meng Li originally wanted to say that he was ashamed of it, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to take on a big responsibility, but in this case, how could he refuse? There were too many things that happened today, and the warmth and warmth of people also made him see a lot of things that he couldn't usually see, for these people who were really good to him, how could Meng Li bear to live up to them?
The eyes were opposite to the three of them one by one, and finally returned to Meng Jiangxi's body, Meng Li exhaled heavily, as if making a promise.
"Old Uncle Meng, don't worry, I will definitely study hard with you from now on!"
Meng Rou, who had covered her pretty face for some time, couldn't help but show a sweet happy smile.
