Chapter 60: Fools
This is a common practice, if someone does not come to help, they will be gossiped about, and others will not go to their house in the future.
Qiao Xiaoru heard that so many people in the village took the initiative to come to help, and she was happy and sad: she thought that she was going to set up a table and invite everyone to eat! That's a real death!
Later, I inquired with Widow Shen and found out that there was no need to invite people in the village to eat banquet noodles, just prepare some steamed buns, pancakes, and steamed rice cakes for everyone to eat casually!
Of course, the more particular ones will also prepare a basket of boiled eggs, dye the eggs red with red dye, and prepare two packets of candy.
Qiao Xiaoru's family situation is there, and no one will say anything if she doesn't prepare for this.
Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly arranged it the night before, and there was no noodles at home, so he took rice and went to someone to change it, one and a half catties of rice for one catty of noodles, and a total of ten catties of noodles came back.
Then I soaked 20 catties of rice in a bucket, and I went to grind it into rice milk and steamed rice cakes tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Widow Shen, Aunt Zhang and several other women came to help, some went to grind rice milk, some made steamed buns, talked and laughed, and Qiao Xiaoru didn't have to worry about anything.
There is nothing lively to see in the countryside, and the children who love to catch up with the excitement are naturally indispensable to run in and out, waiting to eat steamed buns and rice cakes one by one!
This kind of thing is the same for any family, and the host will not say disgust or anything like that. Qiao Xiaoru didn't know how to do it, and deliberately scooped most of the half-dried chestnuts with a scoop for them to burn and eat, and the children were even more happy.
The women who helped were also happy to see their children and chestnuts to eat, and they were all dissatisfied, and secretly said that Qiao Xiaoru could be a man, and said with a smile in their mouths: "How good it is to keep stewed chicken and stewed meat and make zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, it's a pity to give them a waste!" "No, you can sell it for a few bucks!" ”
Yang's and Zhang's estimated that they touched the steamed buns and rice cakes after steaming in the pot before they took and hugged their grandsons.
As soon as Yang came in, he smirked and said, "Yo, it's all steamed!" I didn't think it was so fast! Brother Bao and Da Mao brothers and sisters have a lot of things, and they don't eat well, so it's easy to feed them, and I hurried over as soon as I finished busy, who knew it was still late! ”
Zhang's words were similar, and a pair of eyes turned unconsciously to look at the steamer.
Because Aunt Zhang's house is closer to the new yard, in order to make it easier to take it to the new yard, these things are made at Aunt Zhang's house.
"Knowing that the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law's grandson, and granddaughter are still young, they must not be busy, where can I trouble the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law?" Tian greeted them with a smile and invited them to take a seat.
As early as when these two came in, the women winked their eyebrows and looked at each other, no one is a fool, and it is strange that they will believe these two people!
However, this is the housework of the Lu family, and even the Tian family said so, although they despise it in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces, let alone say it in their mouths, they all echo Tian's words, and smile and ask them to sit on a stool.
At this time, there are only Tian and Xiaodou sprouts here, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun are in the new yard, and the construction of the steamed buns and rice cakes has started early in the morning, so the first batch of steamed buns and rice cakes has also been steamed.
When the beams and pillars are ready, everyone will come to eat for breakfast, and then under the command of the person in charge of scheduling, they will order everyone to nail the planks one by one, and finally the tiles.
After that, there will be a few more to eat, and everyone will disperse.
At this time, although the steamed buns and rice cakes have not yet been steamed, the fragrance is diffused in the air along the steam.
After sitting down for less than two sentences, Xiaobao in Zhang's arms sniffed and said, "Grandma, I'm so hungry, I want to eat cakes!" ”
The women were stunned, and the quick reaction looked at each other, and the disdain in their eyes deepened: Didn't you say that you delayed coming over to help in order to feed your grandson? Why does this grandson shout hungry as soon as he comes in? Dare to love that's a lie, just come over on an empty stomach and wait for breakfast!
Although no one understood what he said, Zhang was also a little embarrassed, glared at Xiaobao and said, "Didn't you just eat it?" Why are you hungry again? So that you don't eat well in the future! Don't make any noise, we'll have something to eat later! ”
Xiaobao's mouth was flattened, and he glanced at Zhang aggrievedly, and cried "wow", and said while crying: "I haven't eaten, I'm hungry, I want to eat cakes!" Grandma said there were cakes! ”
Obviously I didn't eat in the morning, and my grandmother said that the third grandmother didn't make delicious cakes and cakes here, but why didn't I eat them when I came over? Grandma said he had eaten it, but he hadn't eaten it! Besides, he's really hungry!
In the past, when he was hungry, his grandmother would give him food, why was it so fierce this time? Xiaobao's fragile heart couldn't accept this fact, and she cried more and more sadly.
"Why are you so disobedient, you dead boy!" Zhang's annoyance and anger slapped Xiaobao's back with two slaps, and Xiaobao's cry immediately became sharp and piercing in vain.
Tian's heart softened, and he hurriedly took the child from Zhang's arms and patted him gently, persuading: "Second sister-in-law, Xiaobao is only three years old, where is the child's family sensible!" The second sister-in-law is anxious and can't beat the child! ”
All the women also persuaded one after another, and the upright one couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, the heart Dao Tian is really good, no wonder the Yang family and the Zhang family don't take her in their eyes at all! No wonder the family would rather live in a wooden house than live in this big brick house!
Seeing this, the Yang family also pretended to persuade him, and he was proud and contemptuous of the Zhang family in his heart: What a fool, he was disgraced and thrown home! Can such a small child stand up to hunger? Anyway, you have to feed a little bit at home, right? Even if you can't eat much, you can't take it back with you!
Tian held the child for a long time, and after a while, he was out of breath and hurriedly returned Xiaobao to Zhang.
At this time, Aunt Zhang opened the steamer and quickly took out a few steamed buns, and said with a smile: "It looks like it should be cooked, come on, eat it quickly!" ”
It's true that I can't get used to Zhang's careful thinking, but the child is innocent.
Zhang's heart was secretly annoyed that his grandson was not angry, and when he saw his grandson crying sadly, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but he complained about Tian's family: Why didn't you steam the steamed buns and rice cakes earlier!
When Xiaobao saw the food, he looked at it with a blank eye, and then he stopped crying. Bao Ge'er and Da Mao couldn't wait to take it.
When the children who were running in and out and playing saw it, they all gathered around with a "hula" chatter, and Tian smiled and beckoned the children to eat.
Except for those who like to take advantage of others, anyone who has a little bit of face will not let their children eat enough, and one per person is enough. After all, these are made for the people who work. Unless there is a surplus left, everyone will take it again.
