He glared at the two wives again with a bluffing face, "Stop talking nonsense and go cook!"
The two daughters-in-law curled their lips and reluctantly went to the kitchen.
When you enter the kitchen, you either throw the spatula or kick the kitchen door. The thin kitchen door innocently bears all...
Not only that, they also stretched their heads from time to time and yelled at the children who were chasing and playing in the yard. Those scolding words sounded like they were criticizing each other.
Zheng Xiaoqin was very embarrassed about this, but Zheng's mother took Zheng Xiaoqin's hand and said, "Just think it's a dog barking and don't listen."
The corners of Zheng Xiaoqin's mouth twitched, feeling even more embarrassed.
Mother Zheng patted the back of her hand and said, "Where is my granddaughter? Take me there quickly!"
Zheng Xiaoqin reacted, "My eldest brother is in the east room."
The two of them walked quickly to the east room together. Zheng Xiaoqin turned around and wanted to call Father Zheng to come and have a look, but found that Father Zheng was following them with a sullen face.
A smile flashed across Zheng Xiaoqin's eyes and she looked away. On the way to the east room, she learned from Zheng's mother that the piggy at home had been found and somehow ran into the muddy ditch behind the village.
At this moment, Jiang Xianjun and Brother Zheng are taking Piggy to settle in the pig pen in the backyard. They will come over after they are settled.
In the east room, Mother Zheng held her granddaughter in her arms and kissed her sweetly, while her beloved one screamed.
Although Father Zheng did not hug the child, nor did he shout those disgusting words, when he stood behind Mother Zheng with his hands behind his back, looking at the fat and white granddaughter in the swaddle, who was yawning, the old man's face could not be tense. When no one paid attention to him, he secretly winked at his granddaughter and shook his beard.
Soon the child became sleepy and yawned and fell asleep next to Brother Zheng.
Father Zheng said, "I'm going to the backyard to see Piggy."
Then he left the house.
After Zheng's father left, Zheng Xiaoqin felt a little more relaxed.
She saw the basket placed in the corner, took it and uncovered the cloth on it and gave it to Zheng's mother.
"Mom, I heard that my eldest brother hurt his foot. Xianjun and I didn't know what to buy, so we just brought some random things. You can pack them up."
When Zheng's mother saw what was in the basket, she was shocked.
"My dear mother, have you moved your home here?"
Zheng Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then realized what Zheng's mother meant, covered her mouth and smiled.
Brother Zheng was still immersed in the joy of getting the deer bone. Hearing this, he also leaned over and looked at the basket.
Seeing this, Brother Zheng was also shocked.
"Girls, why did you bring so many things here? You must have a tight schedule, so you can bring these things back later!" Brother Zheng said sincerely.
Just the deer bone under his pillow was worth several taels of silver. You can't be greedy, let alone take advantage of your sister's family endlessly.
Zheng Xiaoqin shook her head, "The meat is specially brought to everyone to eat, and there are also snacks in it for some nieces and nephews to have teeth."
She simply took everything inside to the table next to her, including cigarettes and wine for Father Zheng, piles of snacks...
The children had the sharpest ears. As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, they immediately swarmed into the east room and surrounded Aunt Zheng Xiaoqin, calling her aunt.
Zheng Xiaoqin simply opened the top package and filled the pockets of several nieces and nephews.
I quietly grabbed an extra handful for my beloved nephew.
Mother Zheng saw all this, patted her eldest grandson on the head and chased them away with a smile: "Take your younger brothers and sisters out to play, don't let this get in the way."
The children got their food and ran out of the east room cheering.
Zheng Xiaoqin brought snacks to Mother Zheng and Brother Zheng to eat.
Brother Zheng shook his head as if something was wrong, leaned back, and said with a smile: "What do I, a grown man, do with that stuff? You guys eat it, you guys eat it!"
Mother Zheng was reluctant to eat it and wanted to keep it for her grandchildren to eat slowly.
Zheng Xiaoqin said: "Mom, please try a few. There are still many on the table."
In this case, Zheng's mother twisted a few symbolically and stuffed one into Zheng Xiaoqin's mouth before she ate it herself.
"Sister, where did you get the money to buy so many things?" Brother Zheng asked again.
Zheng's mother is half an insider.
As Brother Zheng asked, Mother Zheng was wondering if her daughter and son-in-law had sold some rice and noodles sent by the Luo family and the Yang family to buy the things, right?
Because the Luo family later gave Zheng Xiaoqin and the others ten taels of silver, Zheng Xiaoqin did not inform Zheng's mother.
Zheng's mother became more and more worried about her guess. She looked at Zheng Xiaoqin worriedly and wondered whether she should weigh some rice noodles for them to take with them when they went back later.
Zheng Xiaoqin saw Mother Zheng's worry, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, we still have some food at home. These things are specially brought here to honor you."
"Ah? Is there something to eat? You didn't fool me?" Zheng's mother was dubious.
Zheng Xiaoqin smiled and hugged Zheng's mother's shoulders, just like she did when she was a daughter in her parents' family, "Mom, please be at ease. How could I deceive you with such a thing?"
"Besides, if we really can't get to the bottom of it, Xianjun and I can't pretend to be fat."
"Then tell me, where did you get the money to buy these things?" Mother Zheng asked again.
Zheng Xiaoqin tilted her head and was thinking of an excuse. Unexpectedly, Brother Zheng on the bed, who had previous experience with deer bones, actually rushed to say, "Could it be that Xian Jun's relatives gave it to him, right?"
Zheng Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Yeah, almost."
"What kind of relatives are they? Why are they so good! I really want to see them." Brother Zheng said again, with longing in his eyes.
Mother Zheng was confused after hearing this.
Zheng Xiaoqin didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so she pushed Zheng's mother out and said, "Mom, take this meat and other things and pack them away."
Zheng's mother was half pushed out. She looked at the things in her hands and said, "What else are you packing? Your two sisters-in-law are cooking in the kitchen. This meat must have been cooked by them. We just happened to eat it together at noon. !”
In the kitchen, the two sisters-in-law of the Zheng family were reluctantly preparing to wash rice for cooking.
The sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said: "The married daughter throws away the water. Our parents-in-law's hearts are all set on the sister-in-law. When other families marry several daughters, the family will get rich. What about our family? We don't gain anything, save face." They all got involved, and we promised not to have any contact with each other at first, but here we are again, it’s really endless!”
The second sister-in-law poured the rice water in the basin heavily into the swill bucket next to her, and said bitterly: "It doesn't help my natal family at all, and it's so annoying that it makes me lose face when I go back to my natal family!"
At this moment, several children ran into the kitchen.
The eldest boy ran to the Zheng family’s sister-in-law, opened his pocket and showed her: “Mom, look, snacks!”
"Ah, where did all these snacks come from?"
The sister-in-law of the Zheng family grabbed a handful and took it out. They were really snacks, the kind of good snacks that the family would only buy during the Chinese New Year.
"My aunt gave it to me. My aunt also brought a lot of delicious food!"
"What?"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zheng family put the snacks intact into her son's pocket and raised her head to look at the second sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law was also looking at the pockets of her two children and grabbed snacks from them.
The second sister-in-law tasted one, smacked it in her mouth and said, "It tastes really good, it's a good snack."
