marriage is natural

Chapter 294 What an egg!
Boss He parked the car at home, came out and ran into old man and father He, saw that they were dragging a few long bamboos in each hand, smiled and went up to help: "The third child followed Dad to chop bamboo?"

It is well known that the old man likes weaving strips and bamboo. In his early years, he would sell the woven baskets and dustpans.However, in recent years, with the urbanization of the countryside, fewer and fewer people use baskets and dustpans, and it is unrealistic to rely on them for food.

What's more, the old man is getting old, and it is impossible to carry baskets around the streets to sell them.At most, I have nothing to do as a pastime, make up a few for home use, and occasionally sell a few to the big farmers who come to ask.

This time, the main reason is to consider that the demolition will be done soon, and it is possible to move as soon as the spring starts, and it is still unknown where to move.If it is a house in the county, it will be far away from the village, and it is impossible to cut down moso bamboos or strips in the future. During the few days of the Chinese New Year, the children are all there to help cut down a few more moso bamboos. Make up some more when you have time, and save them for future use.Only then did the third child follow him up the mountain and drag a few old moso bamboos down.

Seeing that the eldest was back, the old man had a smile in his eyes: "Are you back? It's almost ready for dinner. Ask Ah Gang if he's back. He called the second's house early in the morning and said that Jiajia still needs to hang up the water today, and he won't leave at noon. I'm back to the village, if I come back early in the afternoon, I will come over."

Boss He knew about Sun Nan's illness. Before he went to Haicheng to pick up his wife, he had visited her. He caught a cold when the weather just turned cold, but it was not cured. It turned into bronchitis, and then went deep into the lungs. It's been a toss for two months. If it wasn't for the Chinese New Year, I would definitely choose to be hospitalized. Every day I run back and forth between the hospital and the house. Children suffer and adults are not easy.

When the men returned, lunch began.

He Wei called to her two elder brothers, took out the round countertop that was not used much, and put it on a small dining table. She brought hot water, wiped the round countertop twice, then spread a disposable tablecloth, and the whole family squeezed into a table .

Except for He Laoer, who went to Haicheng to sweep seafood and will return in the afternoon, and He Gang's family, who were still in the hospital, everyone else was present.

A chicken was brought out from the big stove. The freshly cooked pullet was freshly cooked. The white-cut chicken tastes the best.

Chicken and duck offal and chicken soup were boiled in a large electric hot pot early in the morning, and ham slices, dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus were added.

Now that everyone is here, Hemu puts steamed meatballs, fried tofu skin meat rolls, and cabbage gangzi cut into strips according to the head, and finally adds a handful of vermicelli, and it is served while cooking. The center of the round table.

In addition, Aunt He Er was in charge of frying some hot dishes, such as beef tenderloin with sharp pepper, ground three delicacies, pot-packed pork, etc., which were all very good for dinner.

Hemu is in charge of mixing several cold dishes.The main ingredients of the cold dishes are what she brought from Qingshi, such as shredded garlic jellyfish, preserved tofu eggs, dried shrimp mixed with cucumber, and sour black fungus.

There are also three plates of fish.For Chinese New Year, fish is the most indispensable thing, otherwise how would you say "every year has more than enough".

The grass carp for smoked fish was caught by He Laoer from the reservoir.The steamed rice fish and the yellow croaker made into sweet and sour fish are one of the New Year's goods brought by He Wei's family.

The delicacies that had been busy all morning were brought to the table one after another, and the three of them sniffed in unison.

The food in the hospital is too oily, but Boss He is better. After all, it is not uncommon for him to run between the hospital and the store.But after staying in the hospital for more than a month and nearly two months, the mother-in-law was struggling. One was that the consumption near the hospital was a bit high, and the other was that the doctor asked He Meimei to eat a light diet. So in the end, Aunt He also followed her daughter for three The clear soup of the meal was weak, and the mouth faded out of the bird.

The first meal after discharge from the hospital was so hearty, how could the secretion of saliva be controlled.Boss He and his wife could bear it for a while, and He Meimei relied on the elder brother's love for her. Before everyone was seated, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg of white-cut chicken and ate it.

Aunt He came out of the stove with the last plate of hot dishes just out of the pot. Seeing the ugly appearance of her eldest niece reborn from starvation, she sighed in disdain and said deliberately: "Meiqin, you Your niece coughed for as long as you were in the hospital, and now she has bronchial pneumonia, and she was almost hospitalized. Your mother went to Haicheng to accompany you, but the grandson of the direct relative didn’t take care of her all day, and your brother and sister-in-law went to the hospital in shifts day and night , now that your aunt is back, shouldn't you go see her and buy her something delicious and fun? In this way, your elder brother didn't hurt you in vain. "

What Aunt He Er said is wrong, it is not wrong at all, everything makes sense.But the key is that He Meimei won't listen.

She thinks that she is the most favored child of Lao He's family. What kind of spoils does that little niece's big-ass child compete with her? Besides, it's just a cough and cold, no matter how serious it is, it's nothing more than pneumonia. Compared with my own pain, at that time half of my body stepped into the gate of hell.

So, He Meimei, who started to chew the smoked fish after eating the chicken drumsticks, immediately contradicted: "I haven't recovered yet, such a small problem, why do I need to rush over to see it, can they see it differently when they come?"

After finishing speaking, remembering that her elder brother had a house in the town, she opened her mouth and asked, "Will my brother's house in the town be demolished? How many houses can we replace when it is demolished?"

Seeing her parents frowning into mountain characters, the other lowered their heads and said nothing, they turned to ask the elders: "Grandma, this old house of yours can definitely be divided into three sets, and then we can directly replace it with a large apartment. Fortunately, it’s an upstairs-downstairs duplex style, you live downstairs and we live upstairs, isn’t it great?”

What an egg!
Aunt He started the training unceremoniously: "He Meiqin! Are you reading your ass? Are you able to talk about this kind of thing? You should learn from your brothers and sisters. Adults don't need you Cut in."

He Meimei was so angry that she almost choked, spat out the fish bone in her mouth, and said back, "Second Aunt, what do you mean by that? I'm already this old, why can't I take care of family affairs?"

"Yeah, you're old, how can you have a meal when you're old, you don't know how to wait for the elders to sit down before you can lift your chopsticks?"

"That's because I'm starving to death. You eat delicious food and drink spicy food at home every day. How can you feel my pain?" He Meimei was wronged while talking, and turned to her grandmother for help: "Grandma! Look at the second aunt. , You have to say how many chopsticks dishes you eat in advance!"

Aunt He Er, who was named, sneered.

The old man took a look at the eldest grandson, and felt that this grandson was really not as well-behaved as she was when she was a child. Why are the words so naive and ridiculous? Either she really has no brains, or her parents instigated her.

Thinking of this, the old man cast a displeased glance at the elder couple.

Mr. He was so angry that his face turned blue, but in front of everyone and at the dinner table, he finally restrained himself from attacking his daughter.I thought to myself: I'll take care of her when I go home!The bigger it is, the more outrageous it is!
Aunt He's heart is full of depression.When she was accompanying the hospital about the old house, she did whisper to her daughter, but she never asked her to help her say something in front of her in-laws. She just wanted to find someone to talk to and vent her anger.Who knew that my daughter would talk to herself like this, what a careless girl!Where is the mouth loose, there is no door at all!

"Well, Mommy, Meimei is not sensible..."

Aunt He faltered and spoke, trying to earn some face in front of her in-laws, but was stopped by the old man with a wave of his hand.

"Meiqin, this old house is not only owned by me and your grandma. The first three rooms on the west belong to your third uncle's house. We must give them what we get. As for me and your grandma, when we registered last time, we shared it with you." The village said that no matter how big the area is, we want a house with a courtyard on the first floor. At our age, climbing the stairs every day is too much for us. Even if there is an elevator, we don’t want to live in a high place. Building is the best for us."

As soon as the old man said this, Aunt He's face suddenly changed.

This is to prevent their family from living in it.Damn old man!Isn't it just a flat, after ten or twenty years, it will be theirs sooner or later, why keep it so tight!If my own house is still there, let alone one apartment, I can't look down on both of them...

It's not that the elders of the He family didn't see the face of the eldest daughter-in-law, but they have not only one son, but three, a bowl of water should be level.Oh, your old family's own house was taken by two wives and uncles. If there is no place to live, they played with the old couple. Would you like to be more shameless?
After the old man finished speaking, the old lady who patted the back of the eldest grandson's hand and comforted her symbolically also continued: "Right! Since everything was settled when the family was separated, why bring it up now? Me and Your father always likes to be free, so he still doesn’t live with any of your family. When we live next to you, how will the three of you divide the house? Do you sell it for a cent, or buy it for one family and share it with the other two? Let's make an agreement, anyway, we don't have a relationship with us. As for the old man's house..."

The old lady paused, glanced at the eldest couple, and said unceremoniously: "Since it was only said that the house was put on the side of the in-laws, let them accompany them to finish the demolition. Wouldn’t it be the same if you bet on them after it’s over? You didn’t really give them the house, so how can you let them say that one is one and two is two? Isn’t this a slap in the face of our Lao He family?”

When Aunt He heard this, she felt bitter for a while, and said with difficulty: "Mum, that's not what you said, but...they helped our family pay off our debts, our house, car, storefront It is equivalent to their disposal, but at that time our family had no place to go, so we still lived at home, the car was still driven by our family, willing to go to the store, and pay us our salary every month... If we really want to have a To say one or two, the house was transferred to them, and it is indeed theirs. I am also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so I tried it. They really disagree and we have nothing to say. This matter is not on our side, even if we go to court, we will not be able to stand up..."

The old lady looked at the three sons, and seeing that all three nodded in unison, she gasped, rubbed her chest and said with pain: "So, the old man's house, really can't be taken back? The demolition office Come down, no matter how many sets you get, you won’t have the old people’s share? Oh hello! What the hell did our old He family do! Why did the house built at a huge price and have such a large piece of land belong to the family... ..."

Aunt He's face turned green and pale from the old lady's crying.

Isn't this scolding her in disguise? After all, the house was taken over by her natal brothers, and the demolition will benefit the two brothers in the future.

But is all this what she wants?If He Jianping had not owed such a large pile of bad debts, why would he be forced to transfer the ownership of such a large western-style building to his natal brother?

When the huge debt of 300 million yuan broke out, who would say anything except for the natal brothers who were willing to reach out to help me?Oh, now they are standing up again one by one to pretend to be good people and talk about scenes.

He Meimei didn't know which muscle was wrong, she stared at He Wei and cursed: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't won my dad that time and transported my dad's cards away, how would my family have become like this!"

"He Meiqin!" Boss He yelled at his daughter angrily, and slapped her with his hand.

He Meimei froze for a moment, then dropped the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, covered her face in pain, and burst into tears.

"He Jianping, you can't speak well, why beat someone! I don't know she just got out of the hospital. If the wound from your beating opens, I will fight hard with you!"

Aunt He felt sorry for her daughter. She had just been discharged from the hospital, and the wound was not fully healed yet. She was bullied by the old He family until she cried, no doubt slapping her in the face. She was so angry that she jumped up on the spot and scolded Boss He.

A good lunch was messed up by the eldest family of three.

The second elder of the He family was so angry that he almost fainted.This is a big New Year's Eve, and it's the rhythm of making a mess at home.

Boss He felt that he had lost all face in front of his two brothers, so he had no appetite for food, so he grabbed his wife and daughter and went home.

"Boss, what are you doing here? What's wrong with waiting until the meal is over?"

The old lady was worried about her eldest grandson, and she was really disappointed by the nonsense of talking nonsense, but after all, it was her grandson who had been in pain since she was a child, who had suffered such a serious injury, and had just been discharged from the hospital. She put some of her favorite food into the big clean bowl, and walked over with her little feet.

The old man was so angry that his chest hurt from the scene just now, he waved his big hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Leave them alone, let's eat!"

That's what they said, but everyone still waited for the old lady to come back before starting their chopsticks.

After such a disturbance, anyone's good mood was ruined.

Everyone didn't make a sound, and buried their heads in the tasteless meal.

After the meal, the two sisters-in-law were in charge of cleaning up the dishes, and He's father took He Xidong and He Xin to prepare the household utensils for making frozen rice candy.He Wei was pushed out by everyone to accompany the elder brother who was in a bad mood.

He Wei really wanted to run away, the second elder's complexion was so dark, and she was not He Meimei, she coaxed the old man to smile with just a few words.But looking at other people, they all have work at hand, and they really can't do without someone.Except her--ah!No, didn't her mother give her the job of making egg dumplings?
"I'm packing, you can just go with your grandma." Aunt He poked her head out of the kitchen thoughtfully.

He Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and "lead the way".
