In order not to disappoint my daughter, I actually caught a chicken and killed it.
Yun Jin knew how hard it was for Qiao Mingjin to raise these chickens, so he took He Xiaochun and others into the mountains, hoping to catch a pheasant, wild duck, mountain hare or something. But he found nothing.
But I found a lot of black fungus and came back.
Some black fungus had been left on the tree for a long time and had dried naturally. However, Qiao Mingjin did not eat them that day. Instead, she washed them, spread them on a mat, and placed them under the eaves to dry in the shade.
I took the black fungus I had saved before, soaked it and prepared to fry a plate of scrambled fungus eggs.
That day Yue Zhongyao was at Qiao's house, helping with some physical work. Xiao Wan'er also followed happily, fearing that her father would disappear in the blink of an eye.
The little thing took the toys that Yue Zhongyao bought for her, a set of twelve small porcelain figures of different shapes, and she happily played tricks on everyone, which made Qiao Mingjin look depressed.
Yue Zhongyao also brought Mingqi some girl's headbands. Although Mingqi looked indifferent and didn't say anything, it could be seen that she was still very happy to get the gift. The girl was still young.
, I always feel happy when I am remembered by others.
Yue Zhongyao also brought pens and ink to Mingjue and Mingheng. Only when he came back this time did he realize that the brothers had gone to the city to study.
What she brought to Qiao Mingjin was a silver hairpin engraved with plum blossoms.
Qiao Mingjin hesitated for a long time, and finally said thank you lightly and accepted it.
Yue Zhongyao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Mingjin accepting his carefully selected gift. His face suddenly lit up.
On this day, Yue Zhongyao tried his best to play the role of a good father, accompanying and coaxing his daughter, and he looked like a good nanny.
After dinner was ready that day, everyone worked together to carry the table and place it in the courtyard, set up benches, and prepare to eat.
Nowadays, when Qiao Mingjin's family eats, the table is moved to the courtyard before sunset. It is midsummer, and the kitchen is small and very crowded. It is not as open and comfortable as in the courtyard, where the evening breeze caresses the face.
When Yue Zhongyao was helping to move the stool, someone called at the door.
"Third uncle, third uncle, grandma asked you to go home for dinner!"
The voice was very loud. It was the voice of Sun's son Yue Donggen.
This child was spoiled by Mr. Sun and Ms. Wu. He was ignorant and willful, and would get whatever good thing he saw. If he didn't get it, he would lie on the floor and cry.
Since Qiao Mingjin took Wan'er to move outside the village, adults didn't visit her much, but the child did come often.
Sometimes when I see Wan'er having something good, I must have snatched it and left. Sometimes, when Qiao Mingjin and the others were about to eat, they would come to the door and just stand at the table and not leave. Sometimes Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to
When rice was served to him, he was not polite. He took big gulps into his mouth, as if he had not eaten for a long time. He also used chopsticks to pick and pull on the dish. The rice grains were scattered all over the table.
.
Qiao Mingjin watched him several times and saw that he was always robbing things that He Xiaochun made for Wan'er, so he no longer welcomed him to the door.
But this child would still often appear around her house, waiting for Wan'er to go out. Seeing what Wan'er was holding, he would grab it and run away.
It gave Qiao Mingjin a headache.
She is not the kind of person who can beat or scold children ruthlessly. What's more, other people's children are not her turn to discipline. What's more, with Sun's character, if she knew what Qiao Mingjin did to her son, she would still have trouble every day.
Coming home?
Therefore, Qiao Mingjin just asked Wan'er to follow Ming Qi when she was about to go out. He was not sure about her going out alone.
If everyone in the family is at home, the door to her house is also closed.
At this moment, Na Donggen banged on the door hard, calling his third uncle to go home for dinner.
Yun Jin glanced at Yue Zhongyao with some disgust. How precious is he? Is he afraid that he won’t be fed enough at his sister’s house or something? Virtue! It’s as if he is willing to keep him here to eat!
Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin with a scornful expression. Seeing that Qiao Mingjin did not look at him, and seeing that everyone also had very strange expressions, Yue Zhongyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He stood up and quickly arrived at the door. He lifted Dong Gen, who was twisting his body to enter the house, from his collar and slipped it back. He shouted: "Didn't I tell my family that the third uncle wants to eat at your sister's place? What's the matter?
Calling again?"
Donggen stretched his neck and looked into the room. He could smell the aroma of meat, but the third uncle refused to let him in.
Angrily, he slapped his third uncle's hand several times, only to find that his third uncle's strength was not that great and he could not move at all like an iron hoop.
Suddenly he said angrily: "How do I know! Grandma asked me to call you home!"
He doesn't care whether his third uncle loves him back or not.
He just heard that his grandma wanted his fourth uncle to call someone, so he volunteered to call someone.
How could his grandma be willing to call him? But who told him to run fast? He didn't really want to call his third uncle home for dinner, but her mother said that her third uncle would come back today, and his third aunt would definitely make delicious food.
To win over the third uncle.
Then there will definitely be meat.
Unlike their family, his grandma followed his grandfather's advice today and went to Shanghe Village to cut the meat, but she hung up half of it. Today, the family only fried a small piece, and each person got a little, so he got two more pieces.
, but where is the space between his teeth?
Yue Donggen twisted his body and tried hard to get into the house. When he found that he couldn't move even half of the way, he kicked Yue Zhongyao hard with his feet.
Yue Zhongyao was kicked in the calf several times and frowned. This child was more than two years older than Wan'er, but how could he be so sensible? He treated his elders like this?
Yue Zhongyao used his strength to lift him out of the door, closed the door, and shouted to him: "What's going on! Why are you here here if you don't have a good meal at home?"
Yue Donggen glanced at Yue Zhongyao bitterly, struggled to get out, twisted and ran home, shouting as he ran: "Who wants to call you! Just eat more pieces of meat here!"
Yue Zhongyao frowned tightly!
How did this child become like this? He remembered that when he was not drafted, this kid was quite lovable. He also loved to be close to him. His father didn't even want to hug him, and he had to hug him and lift him up every time.
With one lift, he twisted his little body and giggled non-stop.
It seems that he has to find time to talk to his second brother, otherwise the child will be raised crooked sooner or later.
Yue Zhongyao turned around and entered the door, and saw that everyone was already sitting at the table. But they did not move their chopsticks. Her daughter was also blinking at him with her big eyes.
Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin sarcastically, and was about to say something when he heard Qiao Mingjin say: "Let's eat."
Qiao Mingjin already picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Yue Zhongyao glanced at everyone and said to Father He and others: "If I had known that you all lived here, I would have brought some wine back from the city. I also want to thank you for helping Jinniang here..."
Yun Jin interrupted before he could finish his words: "Don't flatter yourself. Our coming to help Jinniang has nothing to do with you. We don't need your thanks."
Qiao Mingjin glanced at Yun Jin, and then saw Yue Zhongyao's sarcastic expression. She just pretended that nothing happened and put some vegetables into her daughter's and Ming Qiwan's.
Father He saw that the atmosphere at the table was not good, and he also knew that his son-in-law was angry with Yue Zhongyao. But there was no need to put everyone in a bad mood at the dinner table.
Then he smoothed things over and said: "You really don't need to thank me. We are here. We have to thank Jin Niang for giving us this opportunity. If it weren't for her, we would still be at home. How could we do such a good thing? If it weren't for us to help her,
But she gave us a job to do. This child Wan'er has not seen her father for many days, so she must have thought that you should come back to see her more often."
Yue Zhongyao lowered his head to look at Wan'er and touched his daughter's head. He said to Father He, "I know. I still have to thank Uncle He and He Xia for your help. Otherwise, where would Jinniang go to find some in-depth information?
People use it.”
Yun Jin sneered. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qiao Mingjin glare at him and closed his mouth. He just went to pick up the food in front of Yue Zhongyao bitterly.
When Wan'er saw it, she used her small chopsticks to protect her: "Cousin uncle! Eat what you have, why are you picking up the vegetables in front of my father!"
Yun Jin touched her nose and said, "Oh? Oops, my cousin pinched it wrong. Come on, Wan'er, my cousin will give you a big chicken drumstick."
The little thing protected Wan and shook his head: "Wan'er doesn't want to eat chicken legs! Wan'er wants to eat chicken wings!"
Yun Jin smiled and scolded: "Little one, you do know what's delicious." After saying that, he rummaged through the plate and found a chicken wing and gave it to her.
The little thing shouted again: "There is another one. My cousin gave it to my aunt to eat."
"Just remember that your aunt and cousin made so many fun things for you. Why don't you remember to feed your cousin delicious food?"
The little guy hurriedly used his small chopsticks to reach into the chicken plate, trying hard to pick up the chicken leg and give it to Yun Jin.
"My uncle eats chicken legs."
Yun Jin helped her bring the chicken legs over and said, "But my cousin is the same as Wan'er. What should I do if I don't like chicken legs? Do you want to switch with Wan'er?"
The little thing looked at the chicken wings in his bowl and hesitated.
After a long sigh, he said: "Okay."
It is quite tragic that a strong man breaks his wrist.
This made everyone laugh and the atmosphere at the table became better.
Yue Zhongyao's mood gradually improved. He secretly glanced at his wife a few times. Seeing that she was not displeased, he also picked up a chopstick of chicken and put it in Qiao Mingjin's bowl.
Qiao Mingjin was stunned and looked up at him. The nervousness on Yue Zhongyao's face flashed away. He was afraid that his wife would take out the meat.
Fortunately, Qiao Mingjin just looked at him and ate the meat.
Yue Zhongyao breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood lifted.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Wu's voice calling him loudly at the door: "Lao San, Lao San, go home for dinner! Mom bought you meat specially today! Lao San, come out and have dinner with mom.
La!"
Qiao Mingjin rolled her eyes secretly. Mrs. Wu was just worried that Yue Zhongyao would stay by her side.
Yun Jin was also very angry. These two were just rude to each other. They all came to call him! He was afraid that he would get poison at his sister's house!
Teng De stood up, put away all the bowls and chopsticks in front of Yue Zhongyao, pushed him and said: "Quickly, quick, quick, your whole family might be here soon. We won't be able to eat a whole meal. Let's go quickly."
When Yue Zhongyao heard his mother's voice, he also had a look of ice on his face. Now when he heard his uncle pushing him to leave, it felt as if a layer of ice had covered his whole body.
He was so angry that he stood up and wanted to stride out. His mother just didn't like him!
When he took two steps, Wan'er suddenly burst into tears.
Yue Zhongyao's angry expression disappeared when he heard his daughter's cry. He turned around and was about to go back when he saw his wife standing up and holding her daughter in her arms.
"You should leave quickly."
Yue Zhongyao saw his wife holding the child with her back to him, and said to him impatiently.
Yue Zhongyao's heart felt as if someone had suddenly cut him with a knife.
Yue Zhongyao took a deep look at his wife and daughter who were coaxing their daughter, then strode open the door and walked out... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
