On the morning of June 17, it was just dawn.
Shitou was squatting in front of the house.
Min'er was sweating profusely as she ran on the Shai Valley Ping, mumbling 1, 2, 1, 2...
The stone jumped up and shouted: Min'er, you run here today, you go into the kitchen and help mom cook.
Min'er stopped and squatted on the ground, panting.
"Pfft" she farted so hard that her stone body trembled.
Min'er lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed.
She stood up and hurried to the kitchen.
Shitou closed his mouth with a bad smile on his face.
"Mom, is the rice cooked on the pot rotten?" Min'er asked:
Xu Hongping picked up the spatula and replied: Not yet! It still needs to cook for a while.
Min'er ran to the stove door and knelt down to add firewood.
Xu Hongping said: Min'er, the weather is so hot, and it's even hotter at the door of the kitchen. Keep a distance from the door of the kitchen.
Min'er replied: It doesn't matter...
"Ah!" Min'er screamed:
Xu Hongping said anxiously: Min'er, what happened to you!
Min'er raised her hand, stared at the back of her hand, and called out: My hand was burned by the stove door, and it has become red.
Xu Hongping then said: You are too careless. Go out and call Erfeng and ask her to help you give some medicine.
Min'er shook her hand and replied: It doesn't matter whether you take the medicine or not.
Xu Hongping said: You can figure it out yourself, I will make a living.
She took a strainer and fished it into the pot neatly.
Min'er asked: Mom, what will you cook later?
Xu Hongping put the lid on the cauldron and replied: What else can you cook! Those are the dishes we eat on weekdays!
Min'er buried her head and remained silent.
Xu Hongping glanced at Min'er and asked: Min'er, aren't you used to our food?
Min'er replied: I'm used to it.
Xu Hongping turned her head and looked at Min'er with her eyes.
Miner smiled and said: No! Still a little uncomfortable.
Of course, it’s not that mom doesn’t cook well.
On the contrary, eating these dishes every day makes them somewhat boring.
Xu Hongping bathed the stove and said: Min'er, you were born in a wealthy family. It's normal for you to have this habit. Our family has eggs and pork every day. This life is considered very good. For those poor families , this kind of life is the life lived by gods. It would be good if they can have food to eat.
Min'er said: Mom, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Sister Erfeng can get used to it, and so can I.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: It is not a question of whether you are used to eating or not. It is a substantive question. You have to adapt to all kinds of life. You can't always think about eating well, dressing well, eating fresh and using good things. You can't Your mind is full of luxurious lifestyles. You have to learn to make do; learn to make do; learn to be simple; if a person is used to eating bad food, and suddenly eats good food, he will be extremely happy.
Otherwise, he will experience a lot of discomfort.
Miner sighed: I understand, he is just like me.
Xu Hongping cracked the eggs and shouted: Min'er, please turn up the heat, I'm going to fry the eggs.
Min'er picked up the tongs and added two pieces of firewood to the stove.
Xu Hongping picked up the eggs and poured them into the pot.
"Pop!" Thick smoke came out of the pot.
Xu Hongping picked up the eggs twice with a spatula.
She poured half a ladle of water into the pot.
She put the lid on the pot and said: Min'er, there is another important thing just now that I haven't told you yet...
"Mom, please tell me." Min'er interrupted:
Xu Hongping said: You have to understand that everyone is the same when they are born. If you don't bring "money" with you during birth, you won't take it with you after death.
However, everyone's choice is different. Some people invest in rich families, some invest in ordinary families, and some invest in poor families.
Therefore, "money" does not belong to anyone, and no one can hold it tightly. You have to...
"Mom, are you scolding me? You're scolding me for being ignorant and incompetent. You're scolding me for relying on my father for food and clothing." Min'er continued:
Xu Hongping opened the lid of the pot - quickly picked up the vegetables and replied: Who scolded you! I'm just reminding you that your dad has money, it belongs to your dad, you can't use your dad's money to squander it randomly, you have to be frugal, integrate into the lives of ordinary people, and learn to create on your own.
Besides, your father's money doesn't belong to you either.
Min'er was silent for a while and thanked her: "Thank you, Mom, for enlightening me!"
Xu Hongping called out: Min'er, go out with the bowls and chopsticks, let's eat!
Min'er walked to the bucket to wash her hands and said: I'm out.
She picked up the bowls and chopsticks and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
When Shi Shi saw Min'er walking into the living room, he asked: Min'er, has mom cooked the food?
Miner replied: Mom stewed an egg soup...
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
Shitou ran into the back room.
Min'er put down the bowls and chopsticks, went over to tease Xiao Feng'er, and said, "Sister Erfeng, please sit on the stool for a while. I'll go in and wash up."
Erfeng held up Xiaofeng'er's hand and "shaked it" and shouted: Xiaofeng'er, say goodbye to my aunt!
Min'er smiled and walked straight to the outhouse.
"Sister Erfeng, is Xiaofeng'er asleep?" Shitou walked slowly over holding soup.
Erfeng called out: She hasn't slept yet. She has eaten some milk powder and she is in good spirits.
The stone placed the soup vegetables and said with a smile: Really!
He turned around and hurried to the kitchen.
"Shitou, why are you leaving in such a hurry!" Uncle Tang walked into the living room and said:
Shitou replied: Dad, there are still two dishes left.
Erfeng asked: Dad, didn't Min'er go wash up? Why didn't she come out with you?
"You women are all the same. She is still combing her hair inside." Uncle Tang replied:
"Women can do their hair, but you men can't!" Xu Hongping walked into the living room holding a tripod in one hand and vegetables in the other.
Uncle Tang responded: Yes, yes, we men can do it too.
"Bah! Where is the shit! It stinks so much." Xu Hongping spat and said:
Erfeng stuck his head and "sniffed" Xiaofeng'er, and replied: No!
Xu Hongping said: It’s the smell of your dad’s fart just now.
Uncle Tang looked helpless and looked at Erfeng for help.
Shitou held two bowls of vegetables and said with a smile: Haha~
Erfeng leaned against the stone and said secretly: You are not allowed to laugh.
Shitou held back his laughter and shouted: Mom, let’s eat!
Xu Hongping stretched out her hand to get the bowl - serving food for everyone.
Shitou came to Xu Hongping's side and said: Mom, I'll pass you a bowl.
"Mom, let me serve the rice!" Min'er came over jumping up and down.
Xu Hongping replied: Just serve a few bowls of rice, I'll do it!
Min'er took the bowl from Xu Hongping's hand and called out: "Let Min'er try it!"
Xu Hongping gathered around the table and said with a smile: "Min'er is getting better slowly."
From time to time, everyone sat together and ate together.
Xu Hongping took a mouthful of rice and said: "Today is really rare. We have to ask Min'er to serve us the rice."
Min'er responded: I'm happy today. It feels so good to serve rice.
"Min'er, haven't you served rice before?" Erfeng asked:
Min'er replied: In my impression, just now was the first time.
Shitou praised: Min'er's life is so good. You really have fulfilled the old saying, "When you have clothes, you can reach out for food and you can open your mouth."
Min'er then said: Brother-in-law, you are making fun of me again. I would rather be born in an ordinary family.
Shitou held the bowl and said with a smile: If you were born in an ordinary family, you would be like this...
"What's going on! Am I so bad?" Min'er shouted:
Shitou said: "You're not bad. There's nothing feminine about you. You're aloof and careless. You're prone to swearing, and sometimes you're even more aggressive."
Min'er had a sullen face and used her chopsticks feebly.
"You guys eat! I'm going to feed the pigs." Uncle Tang put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen.
Erfeng hugged Xiaofeng'er and shook her left and right, calling: Min'er, don't listen to the nonsense of Shitou! Everyone has different personalities. Everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables. You are quite lovable.
"Master, sister-in-law, you are eating!" Officer Wang walked into the room and said:
Shitou shouted: Officer Wang, come over and sit down, there is still food on the cauldron...
"Yes, yes." Officer Wang interrupted:
Min'er immediately went to serve the rice.
Officer Wang continued: My dear, I have eaten at home, my dear!
"Dad, please eat some more." Min'er brought over a bowl of rice and shouted:
"Officer Wang, you're here." Uncle Tang came towards me carrying a bucket.
Officer Wang saluted: Hello, Brother Tang!
Uncle Tang smiled and said: Officer Wang, sit down and eat while I go over to feed the pigs.
Xu Hongping stood up and said: Erfeng, give me Xiaofeng'er.
Erfeng handed Xiaofeng'er and stepped around the table.
Xu Hongping shouted: Officer Wang, why don’t you sit down and eat! Min'er specially served rice for you. You can't live up to Min'er's kindness.
Officer Wang thanked him: Thank you, sister-in-law!
He moved his feet and said, "Sister-in-law is right. The little man has to eat the rice served by Min'er. This is the first time that the little man sees Min'er serving rice for him."
The villain is happy, happy.
Min'er picked up a handful of vegetables, put it in Officer Wang's bowl, and whispered: Dad, I'm sorry! Min'er for so many years!
"Officer Wang, we are all a family now. You call yourself the front or the back, so that people can listen..." Shitou called:
"Little Master, if you feel uncomfortable listening to me, I will change my name to - me." Officer Wang replied:
Shitou and Xu Hongping looked at each other and said: It's up to you!
Officer Wang bowed and said: As long as the little master likes it, I will definitely remember it.
He picked up the bowl, put the rice into his mouth with big mouthfuls, and praised: It's delicious, it's delicious.
Xu Hongping said: Officer Wang, don’t just eat, you also eat with vegetables.
Shitou shouted: Officer Wang, eat slowly, be careful not to choke on your rice.
Min'er scooped up a spoonful of soup and handed it to Officer Wang.
Officer Wang held the bowl and looked at it intently.
For a moment, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, and he muttered: Master, sister-in-law, today’s meal is so delicious, I want to have another bowl.
Min'er took the bowl and said, "I'll serve it."
Erfeng chewed the rice and thanked: Officer Wang, thank you for the milk powder you sent to Xiaofeng'er!
Officer Wang then said: It should be, it should be.
Shitou said: Officer Wang, I am very grateful for the milk powder you sent, but I still hope you will stop sending it. I hope you can give each other some space.
Although the relationship between our two families has become closer, I...
"My dear sir! My dear sir! I will never do it again. I have friends this time..." Officer Wang took over his job and replied:
"Dad, you're back, come and sit." Erfeng called:
Uncle Tang shouted: Ping'er (Xu Hongping), go to the room and get a bottle of wine. Officer Wang likes to drink, so let Officer Wang drink some!
Officer Wang resigned: No, no, thank you brother! When I came out from home just now, I drank two glasses and I couldn't drink anymore.
"Then don't force it." Tang Bo picked up the bucket and walked step by step.
Xu Hongping shouted: Officer Wang, you eat, eat.
Officer Wang lowered his head and ate with big mouthfuls.
"Dad, there is still rice in the cauldron. You finish the bowl and I will fill it up." Min'er said:
Officer Wang waved his hand and said: "Little master, little man, I, I came here today because there is something I need to tell you."
Shitou asked: Officer Wang, what can you do?
Police officer Wang said: Yesterday evening, I received a call. The call was from Hao Mansion, and it was made by Mayor Hao himself. Mayor Hao said that on the 25th of this month, it was him, a 61-year-old man. On his birthday, he intended to invite the young master and his whole family to a banquet.
Shitou asked: Mayor Hao invited me?
Officer Wang argued: Not only the young master was invited to the banquet, but also the young master’s family.
As he spoke, he put down the bowl, took out a wedding invitation from his arms, and presented it to the stone.
Shitou opened the wedding invitation and murmured: The 25th of this month is Mayor Hao’s birthday, and it’s also his birthday.
Erfeng put down his bowls and chopsticks and was about to collect them...
"Er Feng, come here and hold Xiao Feng'er, and let me clean up the dishes and chopsticks." Xu Hongping shouted:
Shitou called out: Mom, what do you think?
Xu Hongping replied: If someone invites you, you must go.
Shitou continued: I will go, but how will I go?
Sister Erfeng······
"Shitou, go ahead! I won't go. I can't go with a child." Erfeng interrupted:
Shitou responded: No, I mean!
Officer Wang replied: Young master, you can go ahead. You don’t need to think about the gift. I have already prepared it for you.
Shitou said: No, no, how can we let Officer Wang spend money!
Officer Wang replied: Little Master, what are you talking about! What is waste! It is my honor to serve my little master.
Besides, it’s nothing! It's nothing more than a few pieces of silver.
Shitou argued: "A few pieces of silver" are indeed nothing to Officer Wang! However, it is different for us. Only by catching up with one episode, two episodes, or several episodes can we earn a few taels of silver.
Officer Wang called out: Little Master!
Shitou continued: The important thing is that it doesn't matter.
Silver and money don't mean much to Mayor Hao.
Officer Wang muttered: My master’s analysis is thorough!
Shitou said: Officer Wang has thought carefully, Shitou is grateful.
"Let's do this! On the day of Hao Zhen's longevity, you bring some handkerchiefs." Erfeng wiped the table and said:
Shitou smiled and said: This is a good idea.
Officer Wang echoed: It can represent the young master's heart and reflect the young master's sincerity. Another special thing is that the young master's gift is unique. Mayor Hao will be extremely happy when he sees it.
Erfeng held the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to the kitchen."
Miner shouted: Sister Erfeng, wait for me, I will go with you.
Erfeng glanced at Miner, and they walked towards the kitchen together.
Officer Wang stood up and said, "Thanks to the warm hospitality of my eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, I have eaten to my heart's content. I have been here for a while, and it's time for me to go back."
Xu Hongping shouted: Officer Wang, wait! These days, Min'er is staying at our house. You haven't seen Min'er for a while. It's still so early, why don't you stay a little longer! Go and talk to Miner.
Officer Wang scratched his head and said with a smile: Let’s talk then...
