"Why, why don't you give me a share, I am also a child." Xu Hong yelled dissatisfiedly from the side.
Li Jing also turned into a pig's liver. In the past few days, she has been thinking about the division of meat in her hometown. In the past at this time, meat would be delivered from my hometown. Although she will cut a catty of meat back to improve food in a month or two, but every catty of meat, and there are many children in the family, there is not enough to eat. She can only count on her hometown to send a few catties of meat at a time at this time of year, so that she can make a meal of braised pork and the whole family will satisfy their hunger.
Unexpectedly, this meat is expected to come, the amount is not too much, and the old lady won't let them eat it.
What do you mean don't eat what you didn't get, and what Xu Ling returned was from the public school. Why, that's her niece, hers has become the public's.
Liu Qiao didn't care about Xu Hong's yelling. Seeing Li Jing's unhappy face, she sighed and said, "There's nothing you can do about it. In previous years, our family shared the most meat in the village. When Mom is happy, I'll definitely ask you to give me more meat." Come here. But this year, yours is gone, and the big girl's is gone, and Meizi's share has been halved. There are also mother and second sister-in-law, who don't get any meat. In fact, our family doesn't get much. "
"That doesn't mean you can't eat what you don't get." Li Jing was angry with this sentence. Isn't this obviously worried that she and the child will grab food? Usually, even if the meat was cut, she didn't eat much, and it was all eaten by Jiansheng and the children. Especially the two-and-a-half-year-old boy, who has a big appetite and eats more than Jiansheng.
Liu Qiao said, "Oh, Mom is also angry. This year Erya and Siya shared a few catties of meat, which is more than our whole family's meat, but this meat was not given to our family, but to Xu Gui's family in the front room. Mom went to ask for it. People don’t give it back. You say you’re not angry.”
Speaking of this, Liu Qiao felt pain in her heart. That's a few catties of meat, and a few pieces of good fat.
Liu Qiao thinks it's okay to eat meat or not, it doesn't matter if you eat more or less. But that fatty meat can be boiled into lard. This lard can be eaten for a long time.
For people who have no oil in their stomachs all year round, this lard is more expensive than meat essence.
In fact, it is reasonable to say that this good meat would not be available to Erya, but several families in the village were fighting for this piece of meat, so Xu Gensheng simply distributed the meat to Erya who had left the village.
This is Erya picking up cheap.
Li Jing heard Liu Qiao say that Xu Nannan shared a lot of meat, and then thought about how she caused her family to share too little meat, and she was still being angered by the old lady because of the trouble, she felt like eating flies in her heart.
Especially her current conversion from farming to non-farming is also because of the girl Nan Nan. I really feel that this child is her mother's nemesis.
Once the child is good, her mother will definitely be bad. Otherwise, why was she doing well when the child was in the country, but when the child came to the county, she was out of luck. So she and this child are natural enemies, Xiangke!
At noon, Liu Qiao and Xu Jianping naturally ate here.
Li Jing was not willing to cut the meat, so she cut a few pieces of fatty meat and stewed a pot of Chinese cabbage.
When Liu Qiao saw this dish, she didn't say anything. Anyway, when I was at home, the food I ate was not as good as this.
After a while, Xu Jiansheng also came back. He was also very happy to see his brother and sister-in-law coming. When he saw that there was only a pot of Chinese cabbage on the table, his face turned dark immediately.
It's just that since Xu Jianping and Liu Qiao were here, he couldn't say anything, so he gave her two yuan and asked her to buy some meat and vegetables from the canteen of the mine.
There wasn't much meat, and the old lady wouldn't let her eat it, so she had to spend money to buy meat and vegetables for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling uncomfortable.
Now that the non-agricultural to non-conforming matter has become serious, she doesn't have the confidence to raise objections in front of Xu Jiansheng, so she can only endure the pain in her heart and take the money to buy vegetables.
Xu Hong rolled her eyes when she saw this, and hurriedly followed, "Auntie, I'll go with you. Serve the food for you."
After Li Jing and Xu Hong had left, Xu Jianping said, "Brother, what are you spending money on, this dish is not inedible."
Liu Qiao also said, "Yeah, what we eat at home is not as good as this. Brother, I don't know, the situation at home is not as good as before. Others' homes are getting better and better, but ours is not as good as it is in the village. Yes. Mom has to clean the toilet every day. She has been a strong person all her life, and now she stinks all day long, so she wipes her tears when she comes back."
Xu Jianping really didn't know that his mother had such a difficult time in the village, and he also began to feel uncomfortable in his heart, sour and panicked.
"You go back and tell your mother that we will go back early this year for the Chinese New Year. By the way, I will bring back what's missing at home."
"Mom won't let you worry, and won't let you say anything. Brother, you should go back and ask Mom yourself." Liu Qiao said something with a embarrassed face, and she didn't want to say more.
No matter how much her sister-in-law can say, it's not as good as what the old lady at home can say. Anyway, let the eldest brother remember these.
Xu Jianping wanted to talk to Xu Jiansheng more, but he remembered that on the way, his wife told him not to talk too much, so he could only endure it, looking outside, thinking about what Li Jing would bring from the cafeteria later. Meat dishes are back.
"Uncle, how can grandma do this? It's fine if I don't eat it, and I don't let uncle and uncle eat it. This is too much." On the way to the cafeteria, Xu Hong said to Li Jing unconvinced.
Li Jing was holding two rice bowls, and when she heard this, she was also furious.
If you are angry with the old lady, you can also be angry with Xu Nannan. I feel that my life is miserable, so why do I have to share with such a mother-in-law and daughter. Make it difficult for her to be in the middle.
"Auntie, you can eat some on the way later, and make up for it." Xu Hong made another suggestion.
Li Jing swallowed, "Your uncle will tell."
"Uncle doesn't care about these things, and he doesn't go to the cafeteria, how does he know how many dishes the cafeteria serves?"
"Well, let's see later."
Although I didn't agree directly, I was already moved.
Every time there is meat and vegetables at home, it is for the children to eat more. In front of Xu Jiansheng, even if she wanted to eat, she had to take it easy. It's not that Xu Jiansheng didn't let her eat it, but that she didn't dare to eat it, so as not to damage her image as a good wife and mother.
At this time, there are many people eating in the cafeteria, and the workers each carry their own rice bowls to prepare food.
When the two entered the cafeteria, they smelled a fragrant smell. They all swallowed their saliva.
"Auntie, give me a rice bowl, I'll make pork and stew vermicelli, otherwise there will be only vermicelli left." Xu Hong said enthusiastically. Although there are meat dishes in the mine cafeteria, the quantity is not much, and those who come late can't even drink the broth.
Li Jing was also staring at the fried fish sticks next to her. Hearing this, she handed Xu Hong a military green enamel rice bowl, gave her fifty cents, and took the rice bowl to the stall next to the fried fish sticks. mouth. She likes to eat this kind of fried food.
This kind of cooked food is still very expensive, because it is deep-fried and mixed with flour. It costs 30 cents a piece, and this one is only five or six sticks. There are so many people in the family, one is definitely not enough, you have to have two.
Adding in the money and food stamps for stewing pork vermicelli over there, you can cut a catty of meat.
Oh my god, if I bought the meat myself and stewed it, it would be able to burn a big pot.
Li Jing began to regret it, she would have stewed the meat they sent if she knew it earlier, and she didn't need to spend extra money.
Gritting his teeth, he bought two fried fish sticks, and Xu Hong came over with a rice bowl. It's just that her eyes have been fixed on a table.
"What are you looking at, go back to eat soon."
Li Jing was in a bad mood.
Xu Hong pulled her and pointed to a table in the corner, "Uncle, please see if those are Erya and Siya, and Uncle Xu Gui from the front room."
When Li Jing heard Xu Nannan's name, her hairs blew up. She gritted her teeth and looked over. Sure enough, she saw her two daughters and Xu Gui sitting and eating.
Three people occupy a table, and several rice bowls are placed on the table. There was stewed pork vermicelli in the rice bowl, and she could see a lot of meat even from such a distance. And piles of fish fingers. These are the two best dishes in the cafeteria today. They didn't see any vegetarian dishes on the table.
These two dead girls, she just had a hard time because of the pain of the two vegetables. These two girls are generous, bringing an outsider here to eat and drink spicy food.
"Honghong, let's go and have a look."
Li Jing walked over angrily carrying the rice bowl.
Here Xu Gui is eating the meat and vegetables that Xu Nannan bought, thinking that he just sent some meat here, and let Nannan spend so much money, and when his wife finds out later, he will have to blame him again.
Moreover, it is not easy for the two children to live in the city. Nan Nan is still a temporary worker, and his wages don't seem to be high, and he still has to raise Xiao Man. He is an adult and feeds on two children. He feels ashamed to say it.
Originally, he planned to eat some vegetarian dishes, but who knew Nan Nan was so polite, he brought two big bowls of meat dishes.
"Uncle, you eat." Xu Nannan urged.
"Hey, I got it, you guys eat too." Xu gave food to the two children and started to eat himself.
I bought everything, let's eat it, the child's heart. Xu Gui comforted himself, his stomach was already rumbling, waiting to eat some oil and water.
"Nannan, Xiaoman, what are you doing?!"
Xu Gui just took a bite, when Li Jing suddenly stood by the table and yelled, he almost choked in shock.
Li Jing looked at him and said, "Brother Xu Gui, why are you here? You don't go to sit at home, what are you going to eat in the cafeteria. The food in this cafeteria is not cheap. Nan Nan's salary is not high. How much do you eat?"
This sarcasm made Xu Gui's face turn red.
Seeing this, Xu Nannan stood up angrily, and said coldly, "It's none of your business. When Xiaoman and I were in the village, Uncle Gui and Aunt Osmanthus took care of us. Uncle Gui is Xiaoman's and I's elders, we are willing to respect Elder, what's the matter?"
"Your parents are still here. I didn't see you being filial, but you are showing filial piety to outsiders." Li Jing laughed angrily.
The diners nearby saw the noise here, and they all looked over.
Xu Gui was worried that things would get worse, and it would be difficult for Xu Nannan to do well in the mine in the future, so he persuaded, "Forget Nannan,"
Xu Nannan hadn't spoken yet, but Li Jing was reluctant.
"Forget it, this matter is endless. I raised her so much, and I didn't even eat a bite of her food, but she still respects outsiders."
Xu Nannan is not a timid person, "When did you raise me? If you didn't say you were my mother, I thought I didn't have parents. Since I was sensible, I have been serving the whole family, doing laundry, chopping firewood and burning fire. When I was young, I went to the farm to earn work points, and I only ate one meal a day. Why didn’t I see my mother at that time. It’s good, so I came to find my daughter?”
Seeing that things were going like this, Xu Gui also stood up and said, "Li Jing, when the child was wronged, you and Xu Jiansheng didn't care about it. Now that the child is promising, why did you run out?"
Aunt Liao in the cafeteria saw that Xu Nannan was arguing with someone, so she came over to ask about the situation. Seeing that it was Li Jing, he said, "Li Jing, what are you doing? Last time you almost got Nan Nan involved, why are you still arguing with her in front of everyone this time?"
Although Xu Nannan didn't say anything, but Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to live in the single dormitory, and she didn't go back to live even though her home was in the worker's room in the mine. Everyone guessed that Xu Nannan and his parents were at odds.
Seeing Li Jing making such a fuss now, sister-in-law Liao couldn't stand it anymore.
Xu Hong immediately helped Li Jing, "Erya and Siya are my aunt's daughters, what does my aunt care about the children, can you take care of them?"
"She's not my mother. Our registered permanent residence is no longer at home. They still wrote a letter of guarantee. They don't care about the life or death of my sister and me. They only care about the children of my second and third uncles." Xu Xiaoman shouted from the side. Tears flowed out of grievance.
It is no news that Xu Jiansheng and his wife raised their nephew and niece. Not many people in the mine know about the transfer of Xu Nannan's household registration. Hearing this, everyone started talking.
Why is it that the household registrations of the daughters in the director's house have all been transferred out of the house.
Sister-in-law Liao sneered, "This is ridiculous. You don't even recognize your child, and you still want your daughter to be filial. What kind of reasoning is that?"
Although filial piety is what children should do. But the problem is that Li Jing is still so young, and Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman are at this age. Moreover, the family doesn't care about the two children anymore, and now they want to benefit from the two children, which makes everyone look down on it.
After being exposed, Li Jing's face was burning hot.
"Xu Nannan, don't regret it, your father and I won't care about you in the future!" Li Jing threw a word angrily, and left with the bowl in hand.
Xu Hong also wanted to leave with the rice bowl in her hand. When she saw the meat and vegetables on the table, she wanted to take it away, but Xu Nannan slapped her and sent her paw back.
Xu Hong became angry from embarrassment, "Erya, just wait, I'll go back and tell uncle." She also ran out angrily with the rice bowl in her hand.
The troublemaker left, and everyone didn't enjoy watching. Instead, they secretly discussed what happened just now, speculating about the grievances and grievances of Xu Jiansheng's family.
Xu Gui also felt a little uncomfortable, "Nannan, what are you going to do about this matter. Will the people at the mine say anything?"
"Uncle Gui, it's okay, at most it's just talking about it. We're right about this, so don't be afraid to talk about it. Eat quickly, the food is cold."
On the other side, Li Jing went home angrily.
Li Jing put the rice bowl on the table, Xu Jiansheng greeted his brother and sister-in-law to eat, the two of them were rude, and started eating together with the children with the bowls and chopsticks.
Several people were eating delicious food when Li Jing suddenly cried.
"What's the matter?" Xu Jianping looked at his sister-in-law with some displeasure. I think my sister-in-law cried because she saw them eating meat and vegetables.
This is too stingy. I don't even think about how hard they are at home. What's the matter with a meat dish
Xu Jiansheng couldn't help thinking this way, and said with a straight face, "Why are you crying when you're eating?"
"I'm wronged, don't let me cry anymore. That damn girl Nannan really pissed me off."
Xu Jiansheng frowned, "Why are you talking about her again?" Now that this girl is mentioned, Xu Jiansheng has a headache.
At this time Xu Hong also came back with a rice bowl. It's just obvious that the meat in the vermicelli is missing several pieces. Putting the basin down, she complained, "Uncle, you don't know. Just now, Uncle and I were in the cafeteria, and Erya and Siya were treating Uncle Xu Gui in the front room to dinner. There are two large bowls of meat and vegetables, which are more than enough. There are more of us. Just the three of them, can we finish eating? My aunt couldn't see it, so she said a few words, they are so arrogant, why did my aunt leave them alone, and said that they are not at home anymore, auntie I have no right to control them. There are so many people in the cafeteria, my uncle's face has been completely thrown away."
Xu Jianping said, "Xu Gui must have come to deliver meat to Erya."
Liu Qiao was a little disappointed, the old lady was still planning to ask Xu Jiansheng and his wife to bring back the meat from Xu Gui's house as their own parents during the Chinese New Year. Now it looks hopeless.
She sighed, "Erya and Siya are too ignorant, let alone treat you, even mom is not so good. Mom dragged them so much, and I didn't see anything for mom to eat."
"Grandma has long said that they are white-eyed wolves, and she is really right." Xu Hong said.
Xu Jiansheng took a sip of wine in silence, "Forget it, let's eat."
Li Jing wiped away tears, "You don't care?"
"Why don't you care? It's all like this. Everyone knows that her household registration is no longer with our family. Back then, my parents asked me to write a letter of guarantee that they wouldn't let me care about their lives. How can I care now?"
The others choked when they heard this.
The old lady's letter of guarantee at the time was because she felt that the two children would definitely have a bad life in the future, and she was worried that Xu Jiansheng would take care of the two children. Unexpectedly, today it has become a curse that binds Xu Jiansheng.
Everyone had a meal in a dull atmosphere, and Liu Qiao and Xu Jianping didn't stay long. It's the end of the year, and I'm in a hurry to go home and work.
Xu Meizi personally saw off her parents for a while.
After leaving the city, Liu Qiao followed Xu Jianping with a heavy heart, and met Xu Gui who was going home on the way.
Xu Gui was holding a cloth bag in his hand, the bag was bulging and looked like a rectangle.
Xu Gui looked at the two of them, snorted, and walked home humming a little tune with his lunch box.
