Su Qinghe didn't even need to read, she knew that her mother was not willing to let her sisters-in-law take things back to her natal home. Not only are the sisters-in-laws not allowed to take it, but her mother is probably not going to take it herself. She just wanted to get something from Old Su's house...
Parked the car in the yard. Su Qinghe went into the house.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Qing Miao'er is back!" Gao Xiulan replied loudly from the room, and ran out in no time. Seeing Su Qinghe, she immediately ran over and pulled her arm lovingly, looked left and right, "You're not thin, your husband's family took good care of you."
Su Qinghe smiled, "Mom, they treat me well. I eat the most of everything."
"That's how it should be." Gao Xiulan said with a matter of course.
Su Aiguo and the others also looked at Su Qinghe happily, Su Aiguo said, "Big sister, why did you come back so early, we are going to pick you up in the afternoon."
Before Su Qinghe could speak, Gao Xiulan gave her a blank look, "I'm counting on you? My heart has already flown to my father-in-law's house this early in the morning. Can you still miss your sister?"
Su Aidang disagreed, "Mom, I'm not thinking about it. I'm going to pick up my eldest sister."
"Wait for your wife to come in, a virtue!" Gao Xiulan snorted.
Su Qinghe quickly took Gao Xiulan's hand, "Mom, what are you doing? I just came back after the Chinese New Year and you just pulled your face."
Hearing Su Qinghe's accusation, Gao Xiulan calmed down a bit, and her expression relaxed a little, "It's not because of them, she came to me when she returned to her mother's house, and said she wanted to take things back. I don't know how this year is going to be, take a bite Food is a life! Take less and go, can the father-in-law not let you in?"
Both Su Aiguo and Su Aihua looked at their daughter-in-law.
Both Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua lowered their heads. I didn't go back to my natal home all year round, let alone take anything to my natal home. Although it is said that the married girl poured out water, but the parents raised them so much, and they did not honor them in anything, which always made me unhappy.
Su Qinghe said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, let's talk first, I still have something to give to Mom to keep."
As he spoke, he dragged Gao Xiulan into the house.
Entering the room, Su Qinghe took out the contents of the bag. They were all given by the old Gu family. There is cloth, cornmeal. And a few snacks.
Looking at the things, Gao Xiulan was very happy, "I will keep these things for you, we don't need them. After you and Chang'an get the certificate, you go to the old Gu's house to live. This is all for you."
"Mom, my in-law's family is doing well. Knowing that I'm coming back, they brought me a bunch of things, saying that I can't be wronged. I can't let the old Gu's lose face and make people laugh. Mom, my sister-in-law and the others don't have a problem all year round. Going home. When the famine was the worst last year, both Lao Lin’s and Lao Ding’s families sent food over. The in-law’s behavior is beyond words. If our family doesn’t even give anything when we go back to our mother’s house, it seems that we It's so dishonest."
"Both of you have to take it, and in the coming year there will be three... You said how much you have to take out, and my mother felt distressed. If they take more, you will get less."
"I'm not afraid. I'm protected by my father and you, as well as my in-laws. Chang'an is still good to me. Mom, I don't care about those things. I just want my brother and sister-in-law to be devoted to me now." Good. I eat meat, so I have to give them some soup, otherwise it will appear that I am too ruthless as a girl. If someone tells it, how will my in-laws think of me? For such a point It's not worth it. Besides, when I went to Chang'an's house this time, his second brother said that the job has been settled, and I can go to work after the next year. I won't be short of food and drink when I arrive. Bring it to them, so as not to give I'm ashamed. After all, she's also the brother-in-law of the county magistrate's daughter-in-law."
As soon as Gao Xiulan heard that her daughter was about to go to the state-run restaurant to eat and drink, and there were so many people in pain, it seemed that she really didn't want to eat as fast as she used to.
It seems that there is no need to be too petty. "Hey, then give each person two catties of cornmeal."
"Add two ounces of meat, meaty ones, so that people's hearts will be warmed up. In the future, we must remember the goodness of our old Su's family."
Mother, this time I have removed the four taels of meat. Gao Xiulan's flesh hurts.
Seeing her gritted her teeth in distress, Su Qinghe said again, "Spring will begin soon, and then I will have to rely on my brother and sister-in-law to work hard to earn work points. Besides, my brother-in-law took the children, and I have to eat later As for other people’s food, the meat is still eaten by the family.”
Only then did Gao Xiulan reluctantly agree. When they came out, they packed another two catties of cornmeal and two taels of meat for the two daughters-in-law to take home.
Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua were so excited that they couldn't believe it when they looked at the assembled things. Grandma just said that she only pretended to bring two corn cobs back home...
Su Qinghe said, "Sister-in-law, my mother was worried that there was not enough food at home. I just brought some back from my in-law's house, and my mother was relieved after seeing it, so I prepared it for you. She is thinking about you in her heart."
Gao Xiulan said with a stern face, "If it wasn't for Qing Miaoer, where did I bring it back for you."
Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua hurriedly said, "We know mom and sister are good, so we will remember them all."
Su Qinghe hurriedly said, "We are all a family, so why not be polite. My mother said, brother and sister-in-law, you have worked hard for a year too. You should take more back when you go back to your mother's house."
Su Aiguo and Su Aihua were so moved that they didn't know what to say. I know that Mom has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. The eldest sister always subsidizes the family.
After driving away Su Aiguo, Su Aihua and several children, only Gao Xiulan and Su Qinghe were left in the family, the Su Ai Party.
Gao Xiulan simply stuffed a few corn cobs and asked Su Aidang to go to Lao Tian's house for a meal, and she was going to take the little girl back to her mother's house to make a meal.
Holding several dry corn cobs, Su Aidang said helplessly, "Mom, I'll just go like this."
Although he is usually careless, when he meets his partner, he always cares about face. Big men don't care about face when they sleep.
Gao Xiulan was carrying a basket and was about to go into the house to pack things. Hearing Su Aidang's words, she immediately turned pale, "If you have things that your wife forgot about your mother, a few corn cobs would be nice! I haven't entered the house yet, I think What are you going to bring? Don't be too careful, you will know how to move things into the house in the future." After saying that, he entered the house.
Su Qinghe couldn't speak at this time. It took a lot of thought for the two sister-in-laws to say it. This sister-in-law who has never been married, her mother is not so generous. Taking advantage of Gao Xiulan entering the house, Su Qinghe secretly stuffed three eggs into Su Aidang's pocket inside.
"Brother, go on a date."
Su Aidang suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sister, I'm actually just trying to get awkward with Mom."
Su Qinghe smiled and said, "Okay brother, I'm so old, I'm still embarrassed. You hurry up, mom will come out later. Mom has nothing bad on her mind, but she is not forgiving. This is a big Chinese New Year, You better stop scolding her."
Su Aidang thought for a while, but still took out an egg and put it in Su Qinghe's pocket, "Two are enough, you keep one for yourself. When spring comes, I'll go get you a bird's egg to make up for it."
After speaking, he grinned and ran away.
Su Qinghe was also happy. She hadn't eaten the bird eggs that her third brother had picked up before. It's really a cause and effect for her third brother to pick eggs now.
"Qing Miaoer, let's go, let's go to your grandma's house."
Gao Xiulan came out with her things on her back.
Su Qinghe looked at her pannier. Two catties of cornmeal, two taels of meat. Same standard as her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, take half of the snacks I brought back to my grandma. She has bad teeth and can eat this. She can't chew the meat. I also bring a few eggs. My grandma drinks egg drops. Take the kudzu root powder for my grandma, she can drink it." The old lady brought them so many good things back home, and the husband's family that the uncle found for her, but she remembered them all. This is all kindness and must be repaid. Throughout the year, it is time to walk around and deliver things during the New Year's Eve.
"Your grandma doesn't want to eat anymore, so it's because she's taking advantage of your uncle." Gao Xiulan knew her mother's temperament, she couldn't bear to eat and wear all her life. Leave everything to the little ones below.
Su Qinghe said, "It's okay to leave it to my uncle. My uncle managed my marriage. My uncle must have spent a lot of money in asking people to be a matchmaker. How good Chang'an and the Gu family are to me. If it weren't for my uncle , I missed such a good in-law’s family. Mom, my uncle really helped me a lot, I have to thank him. Anyway, I don’t have the chance to meet him a few times a year, let him know that we remember his kindness, in the future Work harder for us."
Gao Xiulan looked at the things in the basket with pain.
"Mom, my aunts and aunts are going to go today, and there will be comparisons. They all know that you are the county magistrate's in-laws. Besides, if they take more things than you, my grandma will be moved and turn around to hide the money." What should I do if I give them all the good things I have?"
"... Listen to you." Gao Xiulan immediately went back to the room to get things.
When the mother and daughter arrived at Lao Gao's house, Gao Xiuhong and Gao Xiuju had already arrived. After entering the yard, I saw a group of people surrounding Mrs. Gao.
Behind the two are their daughters. They were all brought over to the old lady for New Year greetings. Several nieces were like rabbits in front of their grandma, sitting behind their respective mothers without saying a word, with low eyebrows pleasing to the eye.
At first glance, the grandma, Mrs. Gao, has the same expression as the old lady in the high mansion and compound. Very arrogant.
"Mom, I'm back."
As soon as Gao Xiulan made a sound, the old lady Gao's arrogant expression immediately broke the merits, and she looked at Gao Xiulan and Su Qinghe with a smile on her face, "Xiulan and Qing Miaoer are here, yo, sit down quickly. It's very cold in this day." Tired. Come on, sister-in-law, hurry up and make brown sugar water, it needs to be warm. Don’t make some cold water to fool people.”
Everyone else stared at Gao Xiulan and Su Qinghe.
They have been here for so long, and they didn't even drink cold water!
If it was before, Gao Xiuhong would vomit blood angrily, but now she is not jealous, she greeted Gao Xiulan and the others with a smile, "Xiulan, I have heard about Qing Miaoer's marriage, what a wonderful in-law's family."
Gao Xiulan said proudly, "That's right, our Qing Miao'er is not comparable to ordinary girls. She has been hurt by three brothers since she was born."
Gao Xiuhong looked at the sky, she shouldn't have talked to this third sister.
Gao Xiuju simply put on a wooden face. She knew Gao Xiulan's virtue. If you don't speak, you still look like a human being, but if you speak, you can't see it.
Gao Xiulan didn't care what other people thought, she took out the things in her back basket and showed it to her old mother, making people blind by the way.
Pueraria powder in jars, dim sum wrapped in kraft paper, eggs, meat, cornmeal...
The old lady's eyes were dazzled.
Even Mrs. Guo, who came over with tea, was brightened.
Ouch, I brought a lot of things here. This brown sugar water is not for nothing, so it is not a loss.
Gao Xiuhong and Gao Xiuju: The youngest is so generous!
Nieces: Third aunt is so rich!
Mrs. Gao wiped away her tears with excitement, and then took Gao Xiulan's hand, "You are the most filial among us girls. The others are white-eyed wolves. Get out after eating them!"
Gao Xiuhong and Gao Xiuju: "..."
Gao Xiulan added details, "No, I didn't have it before, but now that I have it, I can get it for you. It's not like some people never get it."
Both Gao Xiuhong and Gao Xiuju stared.
Su Qinghe immediately said, "What my mother means is that the matter of giving gifts is based on the actual situation. If you have one, you can give it, and if you don't, you can give it less. It's all in your heart."
Gao Xiuhong sighed, and she said it. The third child is too good at speaking, and good things can be said to be bad.
Gao Xiuju rolled her eyes, but said nothing. Her family is poor, and she really hasn't given anything to her mother these years. Besides, my old lady doesn't like her, so she will give you the same gift.
At noon, Mrs. Gao drove her eldest daughter and second daughter to work in the kitchen, and let her third daughter and granddaughter into the room.
After entering the house, Mrs. Gao stuffed a bunch of things into Gao Xiulan's back basket.
Su Qinghe is also used to it. She also knew that she couldn't change the earth-shattering mother-daughter relationship between her mother and grandma. I can only be more filial to my grandma, so that my grandma can get some benefits.
She opened the kraft paper wrapped in the snack, and held the snack to Granny Gao's mouth, "Grandma, you eat it. This is red date cake, which is very sweet. Try it and see if it tastes good."
The old lady Gao was taken aback, then took a bite. sweet, so sweet! What a caring granddaughter!
Hurry up and pay Su Qinghe out of his pocket. Su Qinghe hurriedly said, "Grandma, I don't need it. Chang'an gave me money, and I have money to use now. You can save it and spend it slowly..."
In the kitchen, Gao Xiuhong and Gao Xiuju were helping Mrs. Gao with her work.
After Mrs. Gao came in, she suppressed them for a long time in this family, and it remained the same even after she got married. Who made this their only sister-in-law.
Mrs. Gao stared at the old lady's room from time to time. Ever since Sanguzi entered the old lady's room, her heart has been beating. There is always a feeling of being hollowed out.
Seeing the house being emptied, she could only watch helplessly again and again, unable to stop it. That feeling was so desperate... So she set her sights on her other two aunts.
These two aunts are the normal kind of aunts. After getting married, she is an outsider in the eyes of the old lady.
While throwing gnocchi into the pot, she said, "Xiuhong Xiuju, I didn't say anything, I also complained for you. You said that mom is too partial, so I won't give you anything. Xiulan took it all away." I don't like being a sister-in-law. But I'm a daughter-in-law after all, so I don't want to say much. You are mother's daughters. If you are unhappy, you should tell your mother. Tell her not to do this. Either give , or don’t give it at all!” Of course, the key point is the last sentence.
Gao Xiuhong chuckled, she still doesn't know her sister-in-law's heart? If she had prejudiced against Xiulan when she was confused before, she would definitely have to settle it with her sister-in-law. But not now, Xiulan is her own sister who feeds her life-saving food! The sister-in-law didn't give her anything back then.
She deliberately wondered, "Why do we have to compare with Xiulan? Xiulan has more things than us. Besides, she is our own sister. Mom loves her as much as she loves. Xiuling is far away. Didn't come back. She is the youngest, who do you love if you don't love her?"
Gao Xiuju stared blankly at Gao Xiuhong, then continued to work. She heard nothing.
Mrs. Gao was taken aback by Gao Xiuhong's words. What did the aunt just say? Did she hear correctly
She smiled mischievously on her face, and said, "It's not that I don't feel sorry for Xiulan, but you also know that Xiulan herself is reluctant to use it. Didn't she give it to her daughter. Who doesn't have a daughter, do you think so?" ?”
Second aunt Gao Xiuju was not happy, "It's good for Qing Miao'er, Qing Miao'er is such an obedient child. There is no one in our team who doesn't like Qing Miao'er. Her grandma is willing to love her. What's wrong?"
Mrs. Gao was stunned by the two aunts and looked at them in a daze. Then I found out in despair that before I knew it, everyone in Lao Gao's family had gone to Gao Xiulan's side!
The lunch was ready, and Gao Fusheng and his son Gao Jianwei also came back.
They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. Gao Fusheng plans to retire in the future and leave his position to his son Gao Jianwei. So some things have to be planned early.
Knowing that his third sister was coming, he hurriedly went into the house to find his third sister.
Sister-in-law Gao was still about to talk to her man. Seeing this situation, her face darkened, and she dragged her son Gao Jianwei into the house.
Gao Jianwei was only in his early twenties, with a thin body and a thick face. He looked very similar to Gao Fusheng. It is because of poor health that he seems a little spiritless.
Sister-in-law Gao dragged her son into the house and said, "Your grandma is too cruel. Once your third aunt came, she gave her everything. You can talk to your grandma later."
Gao Jianwei said in a daze, "Mom, what are you talking about, my third aunt is very good. She always brings me delicious food. My grandma said that the one who loves me most in my family is my third aunt. Send all delicious food here .It’s for me to eat.”
"...But the things your father brought back were taken away by your third aunt."
Gao Jianwei wondered, "But don't you always say that you want me to treat my sisters well? Why don't you give them to your sisters if you have something? Patriotic cousins and the others do that. How nice to Qingmiaoer. What All the good ones are given to Qing Miaoer."
Mrs. Gao was stunned.
It's over, it's over, there is no one in this old Gao family who understands!
