Chapter 97: Changing Clothes
Chapter 97 Changing clothes
"Grandma Chen."
Malanhua entered the room and finally couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
Grandma Chen hurriedly closed the door: "You don't want to cry. Your Uncle Lu has just moved to a new home. Don't make your aunt unhappy."
Countryside people have many rules, so it is rare to have them come and live in a new home.
Isn't it bad luck for you to cry when someone moves to a new house?
Malanhua wanted to cry but didn't dare. She raised her head and looked at the roof, burping until she couldn't hold it in.
She didn't want to cry, but she, she couldn't help it.
Chen Yaoyao stood aside a little uneasily: "Sister Lanhua, take off your gown and I'll give you a few stitches."
If you don’t have any clothes to change, you can only sew again.
At this moment, Chen Yaoyao didn't know what she was feeling in her heart. She had always envied her friends at Ye Pier. They all had parents, including Ma Lanhua. Even though her mother died, she still had a father.
There is only her, no father or mother, only grandma and brother.
But now, looking at Malanhua who was holding back tears, Chen Yaoyao suddenly felt very happy.
It turns out that happiness can be compared.
Grandma Chen couldn't even begin to take off the clothes that Malanhua took off. The clothes were really torn. When the needle and thread went in, a hole was torn out before she could even pull them out.
How can people make up for this? Wouldn’t it make things worse the more they make up for it?
Grandma Chen couldn't even imagine how Malanhua wore and washed these clothes on weekdays.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door, and Lu Xiaoqing's voice came from outside: "Grandma Chen, shake and open the door."
Chen Yaoyao stepped forward and opened the door a crack. Seeing that there was only Lu Xiaoqing outside the door, he hurriedly stepped aside to let her in.
Lu Xiaoqing walked in with a smile and handed the clothes in his hand to Ma Lanhua: "Lanhua, these are my old clothes from last year. They are a little too small. Let me wear them for you."
In the past two months, the children of the Lu family have grown as tall as a breath of air. Lu Xiaoqing, who was originally about the same height and thin as Malanhua, is already half a head taller than Malanhua. And because she has gained some fat, she has already given birth to the girl Pingting.
He is not as thin and small as before.
"I, I..."
Malanhua wanted to refuse. Lu Xiaoqing also had Lu Xiaoli and Lu Xiaoyu. No matter how small the clothes were, they would still be worn.
"Are you disgusted that my clothes are torn and old?"
Lu Xiaoqing was speaking more and more clearly now. She stuffed the clothes into Malanhua's hand: "Quickly change it, my mother said that she will move to a new house today, and we will all have dinner together later."
"Xiaoqing..."
Ma Lanhua held the clothes in her hands and wanted to cry again. When she remembered that Uncle Lu's family was moving to a new home today, Grandma Chen said she couldn't cry, so she held back her tears again.
Seeing the tearful smile in Ma Lanhua's eyes, Lu Xiaoqing and Chen Yaoyao felt uncomfortable.
By the time Ma Lanhua changed into Lu Xiaoqing's clothes and came out, the Lu family's kitchen was already busy.
Although it was agreed that the seven families would live together in the future, no one would take it for granted that the seven families would eat together.
However, when we moved to a new house today, the Lu family said they were going to treat us, and the other families didn't say they were free of charge either.
This family brought a basin of fish, and that family brought a basket of water chestnuts. All six families brought more or less vegetables.
The large pot of stewed meat has a rich sauce and freshly peeled water chestnuts.
Small fish braised in sauce, with a circle of pot stickers stuck to the side of the pot. Big bones are stewed in soup, and large radish is cut into it to make the soup white and fragrant.
There is a large pot of corn rice, steaming from the pot.
Cold water chestnut stems, stir-fried lotus root joints, sweet and sour lotus root cubes, braised pork intestines, stir-fried pork liver with spicy pepper...
Not to mention children, even adults have never eaten such sumptuous dishes.
The bowls for eating and the basins for serving vegetables are also brought from each family, and they are taken back after eating.
Even the tables and stools were moved in from each household. They were different in height and size, but they were pieced together.
The men were in the main room, and Lu Quan specially prepared a jar of wine, five kilograms of grain wine. About ten men each poured a bowl, and the jar was half full.
The women eat in the kitchen, and the children's table is placed in the middle of the yard.
Whether it was the women's table in the kitchen or the children's table in the yard, there were no more dishes than the men's table in the house, which shows how generous the host family was this time.
A dozen children were crowded and bustling around three low tables put together. A large bowl of meat and vegetables was served on the table. Before the children could reach out their chopsticks, Lu Xiangge quickly blocked them: "Don't grab them, I'll do it."
Come and share, no grabbing."
It's not that she can't share a bowl of vegetables with others, but at this table, regardless of the size of the children, some may not be able to finish the meal, and some may not be full.
Moreover, some children have runny noses, some children's hands are black and dirty when they reach out, not to mention some children never brush their teeth or rinse their mouths.
She couldn't accept it no matter what, asking Lu Xiangge to eat with them and eat food stained by their saliva.
Lu Sheige agreed, but everyone had no objection. Who said they were eating the Lu family's food today?
Lu Xiangge was holding the vegetable basin, and Lu Xiaoli was holding the iron spoon. No matter how big or small, each person would take one spoon, and the rest would be divided again.
The second dish was braised small fish in soy sauce, and the children on the boat had no shortage of fish to eat. Not every child wanted to eat this dish, and because it contained fish bones, Lu Xiange didn’t share it this time and placed it in the middle of the table for everyone to enjoy.
.
When the other dishes arrived, Lu Xiaoli still got his share, but this time no one grabbed it.
After finishing the bowl of rice and the vegetables in the bowl, most of the children were full.
One bowl of stewed radish soup with big bones is provided for each person. There are no bones for the children, but there is no shortage of soup and radish pieces.
When the children on the table dispersed and the three Lu Xiaoqing sisters got up and cleared away the dishes, all the dishes on the table had been eaten, and the only thing left was a few small fish in the pot of fish pot stickers.
The basin containing the meat and fat intestines was licked clean by some child, and not even a drop of oil was left on it.
Everyone is satisfied after eating a meal. Almost everyone has a feeling of being full.
It turns out that the meat is so delicious, it turns out that the vegetables are so delicious, and it turns out that the small fish that no one has seen before is also so delicious.
"Aunt Lu, these are the days in your house." Mrs. Li Guanggan touched her slightly swollen belly and looked at the huge yard of the Lu family with envy.
If her family could build a house and yard like this that day, she would be able to close her eyes even if she died.
With this thought in her mind, Aunt Li's eyes happened to fall on Lu Xiaoqing who was entering the door.
The weather in August is still hot. Lu Xiaoqing is wearing old clothes given by the Li family. The girl has a slender waist and a long pale pink dress that touches the floor. The flowers embroidered on the skirt seem to come alive as she walks. Her hair is black.
Her hair was rolled up loosely, and three pink silk flowers as big as thumbs were looming in the hair, making her red lips and white teeth look even more beautiful.
Is this still the skinny and yellow Lu Xiaoqing from before?
When did she become so beautiful?
Aunt Li's heart couldn't help but jump suddenly. She suddenly had an idea that was so strong that it made her heart beat loudly.
If this thing really happens!
Aunt Li raised her hand to cover her chest, took a deep breath, and told herself in her heart: Don't panic, don't panic, wait until you go back to discuss it with Tantan's father.
Although my family has bought land now, they have no house or money. Even if they want to marry a wife, it is not something they can do just by opening their mouths.
