It was already dark at eight o'clock. Uncle Caoyu then acted like a thief, carrying an unremarkable plastic bag and taking out a bag of green onions from the trunk. Then he happily returned home.
His wife was watching TV on the sofa at home. He changed his shoes and asked, "Is there any food?"
While saying this, I still felt regretful: It's already evening, what's wrong with inviting him to dinner? It's not like he won't pay.
This boss is too stubborn!
However, after changing his shoes, he pretended to casually stuff the tea leaves into the refrigerator, intending to carry the green onions to present his treasure!
Only then did I feel that the atmosphere was a little off.
At this moment, he turned his head and saw his wife staring at him with dark eyes: "Hey, you still remember to come back, why don't you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks outside?"
The reflexes in his brain jumped, and he subconsciously became cautious, considering and avoiding the important issues:
"The food outside doesn't taste right... Hey, look at the farmhouse I went to today, the vegetables they grow in the fields are very good, but you don't even know the price of this shallot?"
"I know you like scrambled eggs with chives, so I bought two kilograms..."
The daughter-in-law snorted coldly: "Thank you for remembering me, but do you remember that you have a daughter who is in confinement and is waiting for her dear father to catch two more crucian carps?"
It's over.
Uncle Grass Carp stood there in a daze.
Yes, he remembered it.
It seems that my daughter-in-law just came home after taking care of her daughter.
But the problem is—
He grunted, "I didn't catch anything today."
It's really shameful to admit that the Air Force
And he really had forgotten about this, otherwise the boss would have been able to catch a bunch of fish using the traps in the field, wouldn't it be just right to buy a few back
but…
"Didn't I catch a few the day before yesterday?"
"Why?" The daughter-in-law snorted coldly: "You are a father, you caught a few fish for your daughter yourself, we should be grateful."
"You don't even consider the time, and you go out fishing every day! Fishing, why don't you catch yourself? You don't even go and help your daughter during her confinement."
Uncle Grass Carp’s head is full of lawsuits.
Give me a hand
How can I help
The son-in-law's family is average. The couple lives in an 80-square-meter house, and his parents-in-law squeezed in to take care of her during her confinement.
It would be fine if his biological mother went to take care of him, but if he wanted to squeeze in again, there would be no room left in the house.
He then looked embarrassed, but in fact he was also holding back his anger:
"I paid for it..."
The confinement center that I booked for my daughter cost 30,000 yuan a month. But the couple went back and didn’t know how to negotiate, so they went to get the money back…
It was hard for Uncle Caoyu to tell whether he was angry at his son-in-law or his silly daughter. This was one of the reasons why he deliberately avoided thinking about it.
But a mother always feels sorry for her daughter.
The whole family was crowded in the house, and she was reluctant to hire a confinement nanny. She was feeling irritated after having to serve her all day, but when she heard him mumbling, she suddenly exploded:
"Tell me about you! What else do you think about besides fishing every day? What do you want this family for? Just live by the river."
Turning her head, she saw a large bunch of green but unimportant shallots in the plastic bag he was carrying. She pointed at the door angrily and said, "Throw away your vegetables. Who wants them?"
I'm angry right now, so I'll just do whatever my wife says.
The uncle is quite experienced.
But looking at the bag of green onions in my hand, I really couldn't bear to part with it.
But the other party was still staring at him angrily...
He paused, then opened the door silently.
As soon as he went out, he happened to see the upstairs resident carrying a plastic bag and preparing to go upstairs. He hurriedly greeted him, but in the end, he reluctantly handed over the green onion -
"Xiao Feng, when I went to the countryside, someone gave me two bunches of green onions. Your sister-in-law doesn't have time to cook, so it would be a pity to throw them away. You can take them back and cook some vegetables."
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but add: "This onion is really good."
The young woman named Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"Take it, take it."
Uncle Cao Carp had a worried look on his face. He stuffed the plastic bag into her hand and closed the door again.
I regretted closing the door, but at this moment I could only whisper, "I gave it to Xiao Feng upstairs."
The daughter-in-law is not the kind of person who would waste food. She was just angry just now. Who knew that the silly old man would actually send the food away.
When I heard that the food was given to Xiao Feng, I felt relieved.
"Give it to me. Xiao Feng is having a hard time. If you can lend a hand, please do so."
Slowly I calmed down again.
Actually, Uncle Caoyu has some wealth and lives in a nice neighborhood. But the house is a bit old, there is no elevator on the seventh floor, and there is a small attic.
What does the little attic look like
A whole triangle.
The highest point is 4.5 meters, and the lowest point is only 1.2 meters. There is not much space in the entire attic to stand upright.
This house was originally intended as a free area on the sixth floor, but because it was so useless, many people just cleaned it up and rented it out.
They rented the apartment in this building to Xiao Feng.
A single mother with an eight-year-old son.
Xiao Feng has a low level of education and is shy. He sets up a stall to sell buns in front of the school every morning.
There are no secrets in residential buildings.
She had just moved in less than a week ago and everyone knew the basic situation.
In the past, you could make some money by setting up a stall, but the problem is that the management of primary schools is becoming increasingly strict, and parents dare not let their children eat these easily.
In addition, she has to take care of the children and balance school, family and work, so life is really not easy.
Now that the food was given to her, the couple felt relieved for some reason.
At least it wasn't wasted.
Outside the door, Xiao Feng was holding a bag of juicy green onions in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy.
Onions are very expensive now!
A small handful of vegetables costs five yuan in the vegetable market. She just came back from outside and went to the supermarket to buy discounted vegetables.
The ingredients of the buns at home are good, but children can't eat buns every day. So if you want to improve the food, you have to take advantage of the supermarket's night sale.
But now with the juicy green onions, she opened the door and saw her son sitting in the living room doing his homework, and her heart melted again.
"Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat tonight?"
She runs a food business. She sets up a stall when students get out of school. When the students leave, she has to move to another neighborhood to set up the stall. The children just eat some buns to fill their stomachs, and dinner is always late.
Xuanxuan turned his head and saw the juicy shallots at first sight, so he opened his mouth and said, "Mom, can we have scallion oil rice tonight?"
Xiao Feng was stunned: "It's not nutritious to eat this at night."
However, Xuanxuan pursed his lips and looked at her expectantly: "I want to eat it. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Besides, mom, this onion is so fresh. If I don't eat it tonight, it won't be so fresh tomorrow."
Xiao Feng originally wanted to say that onions could be included.
But after thinking about it, she finally smiled and said, "Then I'll give you another egg."
"Two, one for each of us."
