"Mother, why are you here?" Song Dashan greeted.
Song's mother smiled, and did not answer Song Dashan's words, but asked: "Dashan, I came at noon and saw that there was no one at home. Where did you go at noon?"
"Mom, we're having dinner at Aunt Zhao's next door at noon."
Song's mother was slightly surprised, "Why did she tell you to eat well?"
Song Dashan didn't tell the truth, but said lightly: "I helped my aunt a little last time, and my aunt insisted on keeping us for dinner."
Mother Song nodded when she heard the words, without thinking too much, she lowered her head and said to the two children beside her, "You two go play with brother Xiaobao for a while, and you can eat in a while."
After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and came in, "Mother is here to help you cook."
Li Mo pursed her lips, secretly thinking that this meant staying for dinner.
Li Mo has no objection to the matter of Song Dashan's mother coming to dinner, but his mother brought two children from his sister-in-law's family. These two children followed his mother to the house yesterday to make a fuss, and even bullied their little treasure. Doesn't Song Dashan's mother know all this? Now that she knew that she brought two children to eat, Li Mo couldn't believe that Wang Cuihua wasn't here to play tricks.
Li Mo thought well, this matter was indeed caused by Wang Cuihua. When she came here yesterday, she saw not only steamed buns and plum cakes, but also pork belly and bones. At that time, Wang Cuihua wanted to take them all back, but Song Dashan finally threw them out. The two children only took steamed buns and plum cakes. I didn't take the bones, and when I went back, I felt unhappy when I thought about it. It was a big piece of pork belly, so why didn't I take it.
After thinking about it all night, Wang Cuihua deliberately didn't cook Song's mother's meal when she was cooking at noon, and said to Song's mother: "Mother, I saw Dashan bought a lot of meat yesterday. He has a good life, so he must respect you." A little bit, why don't you go directly to eat, and bring Brother Ming and Song with you, poor two children, life is hard, and they can't eat something good, just go to their second uncle's house to have a good time, his second uncle Surely you won't mind."
Song's mother twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard the words, and she wanted to say something, but Wang Cuihua interrupted directly: "Mother, I thought his second uncle must be filial to you, so he didn't cook meals for you and the two children at noon. If you don't go to his second uncle's house, you will have nothing to eat, so what should we do?"
Song's mother swallowed the words again, and brought the two children to Song Dashan's house.
Unexpectedly, the door of Song Dashan's house was locked and no one was there.
When I went back, I was nagged by Wang Cuihua for a long time, and finally I made some whole grain porridge to fill my stomach.
While cooking dinner, Wang Cuihua asked her to bring her two children again.
This time, the second son is finally at home.
Li Mo looked at Song's mother who was about to help, and then at Song Dashan. She didn't speak, and continued to do what she was doing.
Song Dashan said to Song's mother who wanted to help: "Mother, you don't need your help, we are almost done, just go out and sit."
"Mother is not in her 70s and 80s, what can't be done, I'll bring the bowls and chopsticks." Mother Song saw that the food was really ready, turned around and took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet, and brought them to the table in the main room.
When the food was served on the table, the two children of Song Dashan's eldest brother, Song Dazhu's family, were already sitting on the square table. One person sat on one side, and there were only two sides of the table for people to sit on. They didn't know how to move their seats when they saw everyone was coming.
Li Mo didn't want to be polite to these two children, so she immediately said to the two children: "You two sit on one side, one sits on the other side, how about the others?"
Those two children should be used to it, and they are not afraid of Li Mo, they turned a deaf ear to Li Mo's words, and sat without moving their seats.
"Did you two hear that? Bu Nuo doesn't want to eat today." Li Mo said again.
The youngest among them was not convinced, and shouted bitterly: "How dare you! Song Xiaobao's life belongs to our family, and we should serve us well when we come to eat!"
When Li Mo heard it, her scalp exploded, and her voice couldn't help but stern, "Who said that Xiaobao's life belongs to your family! Who said that! Who wants to serve you?!"
Those two children were still young after all, they shrank back when Li Mo sternly scolded them, but they still bit the bullet and didn't move.
Song's mother didn't like it, so she came out immediately, "Li Mo, this child is still young and ignorant, don't care about their children, ah."
Li Mo heard the words, what does it mean to be young, they are seven or eight years old, so much older than Xiaobao, Xiaobao understands the truth, don't they understand? And what they say is called human language, if it is not taught by adults at home, children can speak it? What's going on with Song Dashan's mother, didn't she hear such ugly words? Not only did he not teach him a lesson, but he also helped to say good things.
Li Mo was so angry that she followed the elder blindly, "Mother, didn't you hear what they two said? How would children know such ugly things if adults didn't say them? Who said that our little treasure's life belongs to their family?" ? Who said that our family should serve theirs?"
Song's mother's face froze when she heard the words, and she appeared a little unnatural. After a few seconds, she said dully: "Where is it an adult who said it, it's all children who don't know what to listen to outside and learn it." , don't think too much about it."
Li Mo could tell that this mother of Song was for Song Dashan's family, and would not think about her second son at all.
Just when Li Mo was thinking about how to restrain the two children, a figure flashed beside him, Song Dashan took two steps forward, one in each hand, grabbed the two children in his hands, picked them up, and was about to leave the table .
The two children were picked up roughly, screaming in fright, kicking non-stop, and yelling: "Cripple, let me down, I'm going back and tell my parents, let me down, Cripple! "
Song Dashan turned a deaf ear, grabbed the person and walked towards the door.
Seeing that the two children were about to be sent out, Song's mother rushed forward and hugged Song Dashan's leg, "Dashan, don't do this, they are still young, don't hurt them, Dashan, listen to your mother!"
Song's mother refused to let go. Song Dashan couldn't just drag her away, which would hurt his mother. After a long stalemate, she put the two children down, but looked at the two children very severely. He shouted, "If you keep exporting dirty things, you won't forget about it today, do you understand!"
The two children fell to the ground and immediately hid behind Song's mother, but they didn't dare to curse anymore.
In the end, Song's mother let the two children sit on one side, Song Dashan sat on the side alone, Li Mo took Xiaobao on the side, and Song's mother sat on the side alone.
When they were eating, those two children were devouring their food. They picked up the chopsticks so fast that they couldn't stop for a second. , it will see the bottom in a while.
At this time, the three members of Li Mo's family didn't eat much at all. If it wasn't for Li Mo's sharp eyesight and hands, he quickly picked up a few more chopsticks for Xiaobao, Xiaobao wouldn't even be able to taste a taste.
In Li Mo's bowl, Song Dashan also caught a few pieces of meat, but he himself didn't eat anything.
The rice cooked at noon was enough for their family of three, and now they had less than half a bowl on average, and no one had enough to eat.
Seeing that they were out of food, the two children cried and wanted to eat, Song's mother also looked at Li Mo.
Li Mo's complexion was not good, "There is no food, we cooked our family's food at noon, and there is no more."
When the two children heard this, they refused to obey, and immediately patted the table clamoring for food, and the table was slapped with a bang.
Song Dashan put the bowl down hard and made a "bang" sound, staring straight at the two children. Under such staring, the voices of the two gradually became quieter until there was no sound.
The atmosphere was deadly quiet, and Song's mother came out to smooth things over, "Dashan, I'll tell your elder brother to tell the two of them when you go back, don't be angry. But Dashan, this meal is indeed too little, and you can't eat enough. Look, can you cook it again?" a little?"
Li Mo was about to laugh angrily, but she stopped talking and left it to Song Dashan to see how he would treat his mother. As an outsider, it's not easy for her to stand out, and she might be rejected by others for meddling in other people's business and disrespecting his mother.
Hearing his mother's words, Song Dashan clenched his teeth, as if he was holding back something, and finally said deeply: "Mother, do you think I'm so poor that I have no money to buy rice, we eat porridge with pickles every day, It was Li Mo who pawned the last thing on her body to buy this little thing. All the food she bought for Xiaobao was stolen by her sister-in-law and her two nephews. Now you don't think it's enough for you to eat. Then what do you want me to do? Go out and beg for food?"
Song's mother lowered her head more and more when Song Dashan talked about it. Before that, she was whispered by the eldest daughter-in-law every day, and she gradually felt that the second son had hidden money in him, and she lived a good life. Now that the second son said this, her guilt surged again. He came up, he was speechless, and after a while he stood up with a flushed face, and pulled the two children, "Dashan, it's my mother's fault, that mother has left."
After speaking, he hurried out the door with the two children.
Li Mo looked at Mother Song's figure and didn't speak, but she was amused in her heart, as if Mother Song would feel guilty every time, and then left in a hurry after finishing her work.
After Song's mother left, Li Mo looked at the bare plates on the table and became angry again. She finally bought something, but it ended up in other people's stomachs, but she couldn't say it, she was really aggrieved.
Song Dashan took a look at Li Mo's unhappy face, moved his lips, wanted to say something, and finally turned into a sigh, stood up and said "I'll go to the kitchen to make some more porridge" and went to the kitchen.
Li Mo didn't make a sound, nor did she go to help, she didn't want to move now.
In the end, after hastily eating a little porridge, and finally not hungry anymore, Li Mo boiled some hot water and took a good bath in the newly bought basin, and then gave Xiao Bao a good bath, and the family of three went to bed to rest.
After Li Mo told Xiaobao a story and coaxed him to sleep, the air became quiet.
At this time, a hand reached out and held Li Mo's hand. Li Mo struggled, and the hand was held even tighter.
In the darkness, Song Dashan's slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Don't be angry, you won't do that again."
Li Mo didn't speak.
It took a long time before there was a "hmm".
