Chapter 11: purpose of visit
Chapter 11 Purpose
"Well! It's okay. Is your mother coming back soon? I'm hungry. Xiaoxiao will find some food for grandma."
The old lady took a sip of orange powder water and her stomach growled hungry, mainly because the old lady got up early and walked over.
If you go from the east to the west, even if you go in a straight line, it will be at least ten kilometers.
It would be strange if you are not hungry.
Physical exertion is very high.
Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed, "Okay! Grandma, sit down! I'll cook for you."
Speaking, he went to the kitchen.
Their summer kitchen was built in a shed in the yard.
There is no range hood at this time, so it is ventilated and cool.
The old lady walked to the door and watched Jiang Xiaoxiao working on the gas stove through the bamboo curtain.
They use gas tanks at home, but the bungalow does not have gas pipes.
The old lady was surprised to see her granddaughter washing and chopping vegetables skillfully. The shredded potatoes were actually as thin as needles, and her knife skills were even better than her own, an old lady who had been chopping vegetables for decades.
The old lady rubbed her eyes.
It’s been a year since we last met, so much has changed, right?
What did these old couple do?
I used to treat this girl like a treasure and was reluctant to let her do any work.
Are you actually willing to give up now?
The old lady felt that she was dazzled.
Shake your head! The old lady went back and sat down.
At first, she was feeling angry. She had planned to force the two of them to agree, even if they didn't agree.
But it seems that it is not easy to see the old couple now.
I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable in my heart.
They are all their own children. In fact, the palms and backs of their hands are all flesh. How can a mother not feel sorry for her son?
But if Zhiqiang in the eldest family’s family wasn’t about to get married, and if he didn’t have a job, he would have to go to the countryside to join the queue.
She couldn't bear to leave her grandson.
As soon as Feng Guihua, the daughter-in-law of the talented eldest daughter-in-law, persuaded her, the old lady immediately became interested.
In fact, the old lady knew that she was being fanned.
Now that she calmed down, the old lady felt that she couldn't explain the matter.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, enjoying himself secretly.
Of course she knows what the old lady is here for this time.
Only when you know it can you understand how to calm the old lady's anger.
There is actually nothing to eat at home, just potatoes as vegetables. They are workers, and if the household registration book buys grain per head, they can barely have enough to eat.
But don’t think about eating meat.
Her mother has retired from illness and her salary is only half of her original salary.
Jiang Shitou and Jiang Xiaoxiao are unemployed. They stay at home and rely on Jiang Laoshi's salary.
The conditions at home are actually very difficult.
I didn’t see that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s clothes were all patched.
Hunting for my **** to sit firmly.
There is another person coming to Feng Feng Huo Huo’s house.
Their house was really lively today.
“Xiao Xiao! Has your milk come?”
They are the uncle Jiang Laocheng and the uncle's wife Feng Guihua, who arrived late.
But I finally caught up.
Jiang Xiao pointed to the house with her little finger, "My milk is in the house."
Jiang Laocheng and Feng Guihua are not coming! The play hasn't been sung yet.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took out the shredded potatoes.
With the addition of Lianghe noodle steamed buns and cornmeal batter, it’s a good lunch.
At this time Fan Xiuying also came back.
The matchbox factory settled their wages today, and they paid them every half month.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Shitou have been helping her paste paper boxes recently.
This month their family gained three and a half yuan, and with a total salary of eight and a half yuan, Fan Xiuying thought that the money might not be enough to buy things for her daughter to go to the countryside.
This kid is still impatient and actually went to the director of the neighborhood committee to sign up.
As if afraid of running away.
Fan Xiuying had to be prepared.
Otherwise, my daughter will leave empty-handed.
When I went to the countryside, it was hard to buy many things.
Fan Xiuying feels sorry for her daughter, but she is also anxious.
Their family is not rich.
Even the children are also subject to it.
But what can be done?
There is one less earner in the family. In order to give the second brother a job, I had to retire early because of illness.
It’s not okay for the second child to sit at home too.
There is also the second son’s mother-in-law’s family. It’s not just because the second son has a job that the second son is treated better.
Otherwise, it would be strange for the old lady to look so good when the second child gave birth to a eldest daughter.
Why! It is said that raising children will prevent them from getting old, but now, before they get old, the children have endless things to worry about.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao serving food in the kitchen.
“Oh, my little ancestor, why are you causing trouble? You don’t know how to cook, and you are not afraid of cutting your hands.”
Hurryly took the plate from his daughter's hand and stuffed the bag into Xiaoxiao's hands.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, "My grandma and uncle and aunt are all here. They must be trying to get Jiang Zhiqiang from my uncle's family to replace my dad at work. Please be careful and don't talk back to my grandma. My grandma is a soft-spoken person and not a tough one." ! If you keep saying no, my grandma will get angry immediately.
At that time, maybe my eldest aunt will add fuel to the fire, and my dad won’t have to compromise in the end. "
His dad is good at everything, just a little filial and a little foolish.
But there was no way, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't tell his father not to be filial.
Now we can only say that we should start with them to change grandma and reduce the time when her father is not clear-headed.
In fact, most of the time! His dad is still very reliable.
Fan Xiuying frowned when she heard this.
The fire was rising in my heart.
The old lady really doesn’t want anyone to live.
His uncle's family is always on his mind for everything, and this time he even wants to steal his job from them.
This is an honest job for his family, why should he give it to his nephew instead of his own son?
You also have to take into account the old lady’s emotions.
Fan Xiuying felt that she had been unjustly convicted.
It is really unlucky to have such a bunch of relatives in the stall.
“I can hold your grandma? I don’t believe it. I don’t agree. How can your uncle force us to go through the formalities?”
This is going to be hard work.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed, knowing that his mother had such a bad temper.
“Mom, don’t speak then, just wipe your tears. When I speak, you remember to wipe your tears. Look at my grandma wiping her tears, and don’t reply to what others say! Don’t defend yourself, just cry!”
Fan Xiuying was dumbfounded and crying?
This is not in line with her style of doing things. She doesn't like to cry.
What's the use of crying when something happens.
“The third child’s family is back, why don’t you come in quickly? What are you doing quietly outside with your daughter?”
The old lady has spoken.
have to!
Fan Xiuying quickly replied.
“Mom, I’ll help Xiaoxiao carry the food and I’ll go in right away.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao happily put in a pot of cornmeal batter.
"Grandma! The meal is here. You must be hungry. Eat it right away. I steamed a chicken cake specially for you. There are only two eggs at home and there is not even a plate of cooking. I want you to go there again! We also It’s nothing filial, just take a bite of it, it’s my parents’ wish.”
The chicken cake was brought out and placed in front of the old lady.
This is not a lie, their family doesn’t have any eggs to eat.
This is what her parents saved to replenish her health.
The old lady looked at the chicken cake and saw that there was not a single bubble in it. The cake was well steamed.
The water is tender and tender, and you are appetizing just by looking at it.
Hence couldn’t help but nod.
“You have a heart, kid.”
Please support me by collecting, recommending and commenting on various things.
