Floating Clouds-(26)

The sister-in-law looked at her with disgust.

Qi Xiaoyu glanced at her and said truthfully, "Yes, I didn't expect to sleep so soundly when I went home with Zhidong on the first night." ”

"Can you sleep well, all the ornaments in the room, even the big bed, are carefully sunburned by my mother who asked my eldest brother to take it out and carefully dry it. Jiang Zhiying spoke.

"It's a pity, Mom is so good to some people, but what about someone? will eat white food, do nothing, and be embarrassed to sleep. ”

She pursed her mouth and glanced at her sister-in-law.

The second brother is not at home, see who will help you speak!

Jiang Zhiying was happy in her heart, waiting to see how Qi Xiaoyu answered, waiting to see Qi Xiaoyu feel wronged in her heart, and even more waiting to see her mother get angry.

"Who is Zhiying talking about? Eat and drink for nothing? Oh, you reminded me, Zhidong came back in a while, and I asked him to give some money to his mother, just the food money we gave in one room at that time. ”

She finished speaking as plain as water, and finally set her eyes on her sister-in-law.

"I don't know if my sister-in-law will join us to pay for my mother's food, and ......"

She paused, "Zhiying, do you pay for food?" I remember hearing your second brother say that you are over 18 years old and have a job, do you have any food expenses for your mother when you eat at home?"

She smiled and glanced at everyone.

"Or do you not give it to sister-in-law and Zhiying?

"Well, I've only been home for the second day, and I've had one meal in total, plus Zhidong and my son's meals, but what about you?"

She glanced at her mother-in-law, Yang Cui didn't seem to hear anything, quietly reading the newspaper with glasses, but Qi Xiaoyu knew that she listened to it.

"Mom, things in Shang'an City are expensive, Zhidong and I have not been by your side all these years, it is rude not to honor you well, we must give this food fee, and we can't let you two elders suffer. ”

She said it on purpose.

First, it was Jiang Zhiying.

Second, she didn't want to owe the Jiang family.

After being married for so many years, no matter how bad the rural conditions are, she and Jiang Zhidong have always lived honestly, and they have worked steadfastly, and they have saved some money.

Yang Cui paused, a little surprised in her heart.

This second daughter-in-law is not stupid, and she can say some beautiful things, she raised her head and glanced at Qi Xiaoyu, and then glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law.

In comparison, it seems that the eldest daughter-in-law is much more stingy and stupid.

After coming back for so long, except for saying something to make her happy, I didn't say a word about money.

In fact, where does she need them to give money, she has her own salary, and her husband also has a salary.

But if she really had Qi Xiaoyu's thoughts, and she didn't owe them the second elders, she would also be happy.

"Don't talk about it, what money does a family eat. ”

She lowered her head and continued to read the newspaper.

Qi Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Zhiying, then at her sister-in-law, and went to wash with a smile on her face.

When she washed up and went back to the room to comb her hair and clean herself up, she saw a puddle of water stains when she passed by the desk, and her face turned red, this is the Jiang family!

She tugged at her sleeves, thought of her husband, and scolded him a hundred times in her heart.

Soon, Jiang Zhidong came back with the child.

When he woke up early in the morning, the child woke up, and he directly dressed the child, washed it, and fed it breakfast.

Later, when he saw that Xiaoyu was still asleep, he covered the door of the room, took the child to the library, read the book, and saw that the time was almost noon before he was ready to go home.

He walked into the yard with the child in his arms, and called out to his mother, who was reading the newspaper, and the sister-in-law and little sister on the side.

"Zhidong is back?" Yang Cui looked at him and spoke.

"Hmm. Jiang Zhidong replied.

After everyone said hello, he went back to his room.

But it's strange, he always feels that they seem weird, and the eyes look at him a little differently?

Jiang Zhidong had already entered the door, Xiaoyu saw him in the room, and directly gave him a big white eye, but he was not angry or angry.

"What's going on out there?"

Qi Xiaoyu glanced at him and pointed to his neck, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zhidong was stunned, reacted, and felt a little shy in his heart.

He pretended to cough a few times, "Did you have breakfast?" I brought you roast duck. ”

He held the child in one hand and a bag containing several packing boxes, two roast ducks and side dishes.

Roast duck is a special dish of Shang'an City, the roast duck is fat and meaty, the chef cuts the roast duck into slices, the duck bones can be boiled in soup, it is very delicious, the duck meat can be wrapped in spring rolls and eaten in sauce, the entrance is crispy and fragrant, fat but not greasy.

Qi Xiaoyu looked at the bag in his hand, he was indeed hungry.

"It's roast duck!"

She had eaten it in her previous life, and it tasted good, she always remembered.

"Well, you can take it and eat it. ”

Jiang Zhidong gave her the bag, she took it, put it on the table, opened a box of duck meat, and then opened the side dish box, spring roll box, etc.

The duck meat is thinly sliced and placed in a straight position, the skin is jujube red in color, the skin is crispy, and the duck meat is tender and delicious, with a fruity fragrance.

This kind of roast duck is roasted in a hanging oven, with a furnace hole and no door, and is fueled by fruit trees such as jujube wood and pear wood, and roasted over an open flame.

When the fruit wood is fired, the fire is strong and the burning time is long.

After the duck is put into the oven, the position of the duck should be changed regularly with a lever, so that the duck can be heated evenly, and the whole body can be roasted.

Qi Xiaoyu ate it, it tasted very good, the same as what she had eaten before.

Jiang Zhidong saw that she was eating happily, and he sat at the head of the bed with the child in his arms and did not disturb her.

When she finished eating, she remembered something and said, "By the way, I'll tell you one thing, you see, we haven't taken care of our parents and elders over the years, and it's not good to eat and drink for nothing when you come, you will take some money to your mother later, and take the money in my cabinet and my wallet." ”

She is in charge of the family's money, but she usually keeps a little money for him.

Jiang Zhidong was a little surprised?

Can eating in your own home be called eating and drinking for nothing?

He lowered his eyes and thought, "That's fine." ”

He opened the cabinet, took some money, put it in his pocket, and prepared to find an opportunity for his mother later.

Xiaoyu is indeed right, they have already got married, even if their parents are not short of money, they still have to give what they should give.

"Take more, you keep some private money for yourself, Shang'an City is not better than your hometown, you need money for everything here." ”

She looked at the roast duck, this thing is expensive.

"No, I still have some private money. ”

He said truthfully.

He does have a little, what Xiaoyu gave him over the years, he basically didn't spend it, and besides, he couldn't spend it in his hometown.

"Okay, is there another one that we eat together at noon?"

She looked at the remaining portion of roast duck.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"It's full. ”

"Then let's eat together later. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'll go to the kitchen. ”

She looked at the sky, picked up the rest of the roast duck and went to the kitchen.

There was no one in the yard anymore, and Qi Xiaoyu didn't have to think about it to know that her mother-in-law took her sister-in-law and sister-in-law to prepare a family to cook in the kitchen.
