Sister-in-law Xu's mind was not on nagging. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. Her sister-in-law treated her so well, and she wanted to repay her.
No, last night when I was having dinner, I heard my sister-in-law saying that the food in the cafeteria is not as delicious as the wild vegetables at home. I couldn't help but think of a place where shepherd's purse grows slowly because of the shade. In July, I could still dig out a few buds, and I started to think about it.
In the morning, boil the water, simmer the porridge and then go out to dig wild vegetables.
It's a pity that no one eats rice cakes in the summer, because they can't be kept in the rice cakes, and they become sour within two days. Otherwise, I would fry a shepherd's purse rice cake for my sister-in-law, and she would definitely like it.
Li Qiaohong felt even more congested when she saw her carrying a basket without looking back.
Just in time, Xu's mother went to the yard to feed the chickens. Li Qiaohong rolled her eyes and said with a flattering smile: "Aunt, why are you getting up so early to do the work? Should Cuihua do these things? Where is she? She won't pay them back.
Are you sleeping?"
"How can she be so lazy? There is no lazy person in our family. What's the point of feeding chickens? I'm very happy. By the way, I picked up two eggs and stewed them for my daughter to eat."
After Xu's mother finished feeding the chickens, she squatted down and picked up four eggs from the chicken coop, smiling and narrowing her eyes.
"It's a good day today, I gave birth to four."
Li Qiaohong: "..."
If one plan fails, try another.
"Yin Yin is on vacation? Why don't you go out to play? Are you being dragged to work by Cui Hua? I heard that Cui Hua has a wife, she won't use this as an excuse to share the work at home to Yin Yin, right? This is a sister-in-law too
unacceptable……"
"You are too noisy!" Xu's mother gave her a dissatisfied look, "My Yinyin just finished her exam yesterday and is still sleeping. There are so many people in the house and it is not her turn to get up early to work. But you, let my family
How long have you been chatting at the door? You haven't done the laundry yet? You're not using this as an excuse to be lazy, right? Tsk! Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with you back then..."
Muttering in his mouth, he turned around and entered the house.
Li Qiaohong was so angry that she was trembling.
"Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Li Qiaohong's mother-in-law came back from the private plot and saw her standing in a daze outside Xu's yard. She frowned and said, "Younger, why are you still here? Have your clothes been washed? After washing, go and clean the pig pen."
"Mom, my clothes haven't been washed yet."
"Why don't you hurry up! You're just a grinder, you know how to be lazy."
Li Qiaohong looked aggrieved, hugged the wooden basin and walked away angrily.
Xu's mother listened to the noise outside the wall for a while in the main room, then curled her lips and sneered: "Idiot! With this kind of brain, you still want to find fault with our family."
Even if she dislikes her daughter-in-law, it is not her turn to make irresponsible remarks.
What's more, she also discovered these days: her daughter-in-law's sewing work can make much more money than farming, chopping firewood, and carrying dung. Maybe it's like what her daughter said. Next year, she can build a big house and live in a new house, so she can do less housework.
What.
The more Mother Xu thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She scooped out the flour more generously than before and scooped out two large bowls.
Lao Xu's family had a sumptuous breakfast that day - millet and mung bean porridge, diced sausage and shepherd's purse pancakes, and a dish of scrambled eggs, which was as good as a holiday.
The sausages were stuffed before the Chinese New Year last year, and there are only a few left after eating them. I originally planned to replenish Father Xu’s body during the double grab. Seeing that my daughter came back this time, she was much thinner. Xu’s mother gritted her teeth, cut half a piece, and washed it.
Chop it into cubes, stir it into batter with chopped shepherd's purse and white flour, spread it into pancakes and eat it.
I was willing to put in vegetable oil, and the pancakes were so fragrant!
Even the smoke coming out of old Xu's chimney seemed to have a meaty aroma.
The villagers passing by swallowed hard: What kind of day is it today? Why did the Xu family cook meat and vegetables so early in the morning and let people live! What a crime!
The children from the two families on the left and right were so greedy that they were rolling on the ground in the early morning.
"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I don't want to eat white rice!"
"Where can I get the meat for you to eat this early in the morning? Get up quickly! Your clean clothes are all dirty."
"No, no! If you can't afford it, you can't afford it! If you don't give me meat to eat, I can't afford it!"
"..."
The Xu family didn't care what was said outside. They locked the courtyard door and ate in the house eating the oily and fragrant shepherd's purse meat pie.
"Yinyin, eat more! This is specially made for you."
Xu's mother worked hard to fill her daughter's pie with pie and scrambled eggs, fearing that her daughter-in-law would eat her.
"Mom, you eat too."
Xu Yin divided the pie in the bowl between her parents, keeping only one piece for herself, and put another piece into the bowls of her sister-in-law and nephew.
"Everyone eats! Our family is making money now. Mom, don't skimp on it in the future. You should eat when you should eat and spend when you should spend. Otherwise, what is the use of making money! Besides, only when you are full can you have the strength to make more money!"
Xu's mother was a little unhappy at first. The sausage was for her daughter's health, so no one else could eat it except the old man.
But after hearing what my daughter said, it made sense after thinking about it: "That's right, then just eat, and do more work after eating."
The whole family had a delicious and nutritious breakfast of wet and dry meals.
After the meal, Xu Yin rushed to wipe the table and wash the dishes, and asked Mrs. Xu to go back to the house to rest for a while.
My sister-in-law made breakfast, and it was not easy to make breakfast for the whole family while pregnant.
Xu's mother was very unhappy: "Why don't you let your sister-in-law do the washing? It's better for her to do the housework with your delicate skin and tender flesh. She can enjoy all the blessings. It doesn't matter if you don't chop wood or pick dung. Why do you refuse to wash the dishes?"
Give it to you? No! Let her come! If she dares not wash it, I..."
"Mom, I want to wash it myself, it's none of my sister-in-law's business."
Xu Yin grabbed her, fearing that she would find trouble with her sister-in-law.
"Do you know what the people in the village are saying about me behind my back? They say I'm lazy, that I've been spoiled by my family, that I only eat and don't work, and that when I marry, I'll also be from Huo Huo's mother-in-law's family. They also say that a lazy girl like me, I'm afraid no one will
want……"
"Which stinky bitch is so rude? I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Xu's mother was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go find someone to settle the score.
"Oh, there are many people who have said it, but I just didn't dare to say it in front of you. I was very angry when I heard it, but when I calmed down and thought about it, they were not wrong. I am really lazy. I can't cook rice or bowl.
I know how to wash, and when my clothes are dirty, I throw them to my sister-in-law to wash. I don’t sweep the yard as often as Doudou, and I don’t know how to hold the oil bottle when it falls over. I’ve only been to the edge of the field at the farthest point of our land, and I’ve never gone down it in so many years.
But... no wonder people say that about me."
Xu Yin, who worked hard to avoid being cannon fodder, looked at Xu's mother pitifully.
"Mom, you don't want me to be unable to find a good partner in the future, right? People with good conditions don't want to find a lazy girl like me."
"Hmph! I'm not willing to do it even if they want it! I have no plans to find someone from the village for you. If you ask your brother to help you after you graduate from high school, your chances of staying in the city are very high!"
"..."
Xu Yin couldn't resist her mother's fighting power and wiped her face deeply.
"But even if you find a partner in the city, shouldn't you bring him to your home? What if you go out and hear people in the village say this and regret it?"
"He dares!"
Father Xu couldn't help coughing: "You two can still quarrel even if you don't even know your horoscope!"
