Full of food and color

Chapter 20
"I'm thinking, it's not good to keep this matter a secret, how about I tell Hongyu?" After turning off the lights at night, Baozhu heard her mother ask his father.

Chen Tiegui ran on Wang, "Your brain is rusted? How can you tell Hongyu about this!"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's something wrong, but you can't tell your parents, right? It's not like you don't know your father's temper, so what's the big deal if you know about it?"

Chen Tiegui let out a long breath, "There were rumors in the village before this. If Tie Fu doesn't repent, sooner or later it will reach the ears of his parents. I'll talk to him tomorrow! I can't do nonsense in the future, and I can change my mind." Just let it go, if you can't change it, tell your parents the truth."

Baozhu knew that Wang was kind-hearted and sympathized with Zhang Hongyu, but like her father, she also disapproved of her mother's extravagant action. If she told Zhang Hongyu, let alone whether Zhang Hongyu believed it or not, if she did, she would always be inseparable from her mother In the future, it will be spread that there will be people who say behind their backs that a sister-in-law has broken up her marriage, and that she has done good deeds for nothing but can't afford a good reputation.

Baozhu figured it out, her father and mother were honest and honest people, especially her mother, who had a straight temper and looked like a stubborn stubble on the outside, but in fact, her heart was far worse than that of little girl Cui Fen. Don't look at my sister-in-law who is young, but has a lot of thoughts. She looks like a thief.

Fortunately, her father had spoken, and she wanted to talk to her second uncle by herself, otherwise, her mother would run off and talk too much, which might cause some trouble.

At dawn, Wang and his wife got up early. Because there was a fire at home and there was nothing left in the vegetable garden, Wang felt that his headache was better, and he couldn't sit still, so he told her husband Wanting to tidy up the small vegetable patch in the courtyard, the mother-in-law of the province can't see her being lazy and talking about it every day.

Chen Tiegui originally planned to let his daughter-in-law relax for a while, seeing that Mrs. Wang was in good spirits and the small vegetable patch in the courtyard was only a few feet square, so he didn't say anything, and went to the courtyard to urinate with the precious pearl in his arms.

Mrs. Wang entered the stove, took out a handful of wheat straw firewood and lit the stove, skillfully picked up the water, put the corn and hazelnuts in, and just after covering the pot, there was a sound of footsteps entering the stove.

"Sister-in-law got up really early today, just take a rest if you're not feeling well, I'll just come these days." Zhang Hongyu's voice sounded at the door of the kitchen.

Wang smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know, I can't rest, I won't rest when I feel better today."

Zhang Hongyu nodded, didn't say much, quickly took a few cornbread pancakes from the steamer and put them on the plate, then took water and went in to pick and wash the green chili peppers.

"Don't be too busy, you go back, I'll do it." Wang moved to the chopping board and snatched the kitchen knife from Zhang Hongyu's hand. , it's time for you to take a rest."

Zhang Hongyu hesitated for a moment, didn't give in much, got up and shifted his position, and said, "I'm not dozing off now, I'll have a conversation with my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Zhang Hongyu and smiled, "It's just that you have a good temper and never care about anything."

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhang Hongyu's eyes, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "What did the sister-in-law say, they are also a family."

Mrs. Wang mixed some minced garlic and salt into the chopped chili, choked it with oil, moved a small stool and sat down, and asked Zhang Hongyu, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days, let's find a day to go to the town Go around?"

Zhang Hongyu lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, "Sister-in-law and big sister Niu go, I don't have anything to buy."

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, "It doesn't cost a lot of money to turn around. Besides, it's a big festival, why don't you buy some mooncakes for your baby?"

Zhang Hongyu rubbed her thighs, "I won't go, I have saved up a dozen pairs of insoles, my sister-in-law will bring them with me, and see if I can sell some money."

"Well, I'll help you sell it. I've saved more this year, and I've done a lot during confinement!" Mrs. Wang was talking, staring at Zhang Hongyu from time to time. I feel that there is something wrong with Zhang Hongyu today, I can't say what, I just feel that there is a grievance in that look.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, but still couldn't hold back, she put her hand on Zhang Hongyu's and asked, "Hongyu, is there any difficulty? I don't think you are happy?"

Zhang Hongyu had a sore nose and cried, "There's nothing to be upset about, but when you said baby, I felt a little sad. I lost two hundred dollars a few days ago, and now my family has no money. I want to give my baby There’s no way to buy something to eat.”

Mrs. Wang sighed, the money lost by the couple didn't seem to be found after all, so she could only comfort her: "You also want to open some, this year's family situation is not good, just bear with it for now, don't worry about the money, see The weather will be smooth and rainy next year, so it can be slowed down?" Then he said: "Mom is going to buy mooncake stuffing soon, don't worry if the baby can't eat it, I will give it to Liang when I go to town Bring something to eat."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhang Hongyu's eyes turned red, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Sister-in-law, come to my room after dinner, and I want to talk to you about something."

"Okay, if you can't figure it out, just tell your sister-in-law, it depends on how many people can come up with more ideas?" Mrs. Wang lifted the lid of the pot, stirred Bao Guzhenzi, and smiled, "Go ask your parents and the others, The meal is ready."

Seeing that Wang woke up early and cooked again, Chen Liushi's expression became clearer, and he asked Wang, "Is your head feeling better?"

Mrs. Wang replied casually: "It's much better. I can go to the field today and renovate the small field in our yard."

"There's nothing to grow in that little space, and the land at the door is enough for us to eat this winter." Mrs. Chen Liu handed Tie Fu another corn pancake, "Eat more, I seem to have lost weight these days. "

Hearing this, Baozhu also put her head out of her father's arms to look at her second uncle's face. Compared with the previous days, she really looked haggard.

After a while, Chen Liushi suddenly mentioned the matter of Tieshan's marriage, "Seeing that August [-]th is here, once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I will find a matchmaker to help take care of it first."

Baozhu saw the little uncle's chopsticks trembling, a tinge of embarrassment crept up on his cheeks, matching his swarthy face, it looked black and red.

Tieshan didn't make a sound, and Mrs. Wang followed suit. Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, Mrs. Chen Liu deliberately raised her voice, "This year's life is hard, and the family doesn't have any money left. I will give you all the money that mother has. I bought food in the house, and Tieshan got married. All the houses are helping out. As big brothers and sisters-in-law, don’t just think about yourself. If you don’t work hard at this time, you can still count on you to support me and your father in the future!"

It's good that Chen Liushi doesn't cry and be poor. When talking about buying grain, Baozhu thought in her heart: Chen Liushi has always been frugal. I'm afraid that the savings in the past are more than four. Mr. Chen still has some money. Every year, the family sells the grain, and Chen Liushi takes the bulk of it. If you say that there are only four pennies left, who will believe it?
