MTL - 70s: Dressed As a Villain’s Wife-Chapter 5 Pumpkin first
Zhou Xiaohui threw the bowl and chopsticks by the well, Su Xiaoman ignored it and continued to comb her hair with the mirror. She used to braid the fake models, just like dressing up dolls, she knew a lot of tricks, But he rarely braids himself.
Facing the mirror, she carefully combed a long braid for herself, and also brought some different patterns from this era.
The little girl next to her shrank in fright when Zhou Xiaohui left. Later, when she saw her little aunt combing her pigtails, she opened her eyes wide and stared at her without blinking.
Su Xiaoman, who had combed her braids, raised her head and smiled lightly in the direction of the little girl. The little girl, Xie Chunjuan, the eldest daughter of the third sister-in-law Zhou Xiaohui, bowed her head shyly.
Su Xiaoman thinks this little guy is quite cute.
Xie Chunjuan rested her chin on her chest, hugged the bowl and chopsticks left by her mother, and honestly washed the dishes by pressing water by the well.
Su Xiaoman was stunned.
“…?”
Didn't she wash the bowl?
The little girl is very skilled in washing dishes, but she looks very reluctant. She is too small, with thin arms and legs, wearing a tattered old clothes, with random bundles on her head She had two strands of hair, her hair ends were dry and yellow, and she looked malnourished.
The bowl she washes in her hands is bigger than her fist.
The water from the pressure well flowed into the basin, splashing a lot of water, which wet Xie Chunjuan's sleeves and trouser legs.
"Chunjuan, please let me wash it." Su Xiaoman patted the girl's shoulder lightly and motioned her to take a step back. Seeing such a small child washing dishes here, she stood by and watched, unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.
"Auntie, it's okay, I'll just come."
Su Xiaoman: "...then let's wash together?"
Su Xiaoman didn't dare to care, neither of the two Su Xiaoman had washed the dishes several times. When it comes to washing dishes, it may not be proficient in other girls.
If she accidentally breaks the bowl, she will be said a few words, and this little girl will suffer.
Xie Chunjuan nodded after hearing what she said.
Su Xiaoman washed the bowl with her, chatted a few words in the middle, and finally wiped off the water stains on her hands with a towel, Su Xiaoman clapped her hands, "Okay, I'm done."
Xie Chunjuan raised her head when she heard the words, grinned at her and smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
It's an extraordinarily simple smile.
Su Xiaoman likes her kind smile very much, it's rustic, not very good-looking, but it gives a feeling of sunshine.
"Chunjuan, I'm fine now, can I help you with your braids?"
The little guy watched her for a long time just now, and it is estimated that she is also a beauty. Now they have a revolutionary friendship of washing dishes together, Su Xiaoman wanted to help her comb her hair.
Xie Chunjuan nodded expectantly.
"The back of your hair is a little yellow. Let me cut some of it for you."
Su Xiaoman first wiped her face with a towel until it was white, untied her hair and combed it neatly, simply trimmed the withered ends of her hair, took out some simple and beautiful headbands, and combed her hair. A beautiful little girl hairstyle.
Xie Chunjuan took the mirror and looked around, very happy.
Su Xiaoman boiled two boiled eggs in a kettle, ate one by himself, and gave one to Xie Mingjuan. The eggs were sent by my third brother yesterday.
Xie Chunjuan held the warm egg in her palm and looked up at Su Xiaoman: "Auntie, you are so nice. They must be lying to children when they say you are not good."
Su Xiaoman smiled and shook her head, feeling that she was lying to the child now.
She still has a "superior" character.
Zhou Xiaohui was sewing the soles of her shoes in the room, when a small figure came in quietly, without raising her eyes, she asked directly, "Have the dishes been washed?"
"Mother, wash."
At this time, Zhou Xiaohui raised her head and glanced at her eldest daughter, stunned.
Erya is the youngest daughter of the second child of the Zeng family. Her parents dote on her, and she dresses up better than other little girls in the village on weekdays.
"Mother, it was my aunt who helped me comb my hair."
"She also gave me a boiled egg, and I gave half of it to my sister."
Xie Chunjuan's voice was timid, as if she was afraid that she would be angry.
Zhou Xiaohui's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything after all.
Xie's family had dinner at noon, but the man in the family didn't come back. Mother-in-law Sun Mei asked Xie's second wife and daughter-in-law to deliver meals to Dayanpo.
The women in the family do the light work in the production team. They go to work in the morning, take two or three centimeters, then come back to work at home, and eat at home at noon.
The eldest sister-in-law Qin Xiuying works the most quickly and can get five or six work points a day. The third sister-in-law, Zhou Xiaohui, is pregnant with a child and does not do much work. Just go home and sit.
"Call everyone out to eat."
In fact, people of this age don't need to invite people out to eat, and when it's time for dinner, they all run over to wait for the meal.
The three children of the old family, one from the second family, two from the third family, and six children together are all around the long table.
The other children did not speak, but one of the six-year-old boys kicked and shouted loudly: "Grandma, I am hungry, when will I eat!"
"Grandson, you wait."
"Grandma, I'm so hungry, I'm going to starve to death." The boy kept yelling.
Sun Mei reassured her most beloved grandson next to her.
The child of the second child and her favorite grandson.
The second child of their family is the material of the scholar, and the child born is also smart and clever, much better than the two crooked melons and cracked dates of the old people.
The other children sat silently.
"Old people, why don't you bring the food here?"
"Come here."
Today is my sister-in-law who cooks. The food is very simple or even rudimentary. My sister-in-law brought out a bowl of pickles, a large pot of green vegetables, and a pot of green vegetable soup. Half a bit of oil.
Second sister-in-law Xu Yanlan came out behind, holding a bowl of broken eggs in her hand, poured some soy sauce and chopped green onion on it, the smell was so strong that several children couldn't help swallowing.
There is also a bowl of fried radishes in the back, with a few pieces of meat in it, which is a snack for the man on the mountain today.
Sun Mei picked up the bowl of broken eggs, scooped a large spoonful into the bowl, and handed it to her most beloved grandson Xie Yaozu, Xie Yaozu happily bowed his head to eat the eggs, Sun Mei said to Xu Yanlan: "Old Second daughter-in-law, go to the mountain to deliver food later, walk fast on the road, don't let the food get cold."
"Hey." Xu Yanlan responded.
Sun Mei asked Xu Yanlan to bring the rest of the bowl of broken eggs, and the bowl of fried radishes, picked out the fat inside, put it on the golden pumpkin rice, and poured it again A big pot of vegetable soup.
"No stealing on the road."
Xu Yanlan smiled and joked with Sun Mei, "Mother, I do things, you can rest assured."
"I don't worry about you doing things."
The elder sister-in-law Qin Xiuying, who just sat down after working for a long time, lowered her head, made an inaudible "hum", and secretly slandered: "It's strange if you don't steal it."
This is something the Xie family knows well.
The privilege of the second family.
Xu Yanlan picked up the food in her hand, looked up and down at Su Xiaoman not far away, and lengthened her voice strangely, "Oh, some people are finally willing to come out to eat."
Su Xiaoman ignored her, Xu Yanlan made fun of herself, gave her a proud look, and Shi Shiran left.
Because she is the daughter-in-law most favored by her mother-in-law Sun Mei, she has always regarded herself very highly in front of several sisters-in-law, and likes to use Sun Mei to suppress Qin Xiuying and Zhou Xiaohui.
She likes to show the difference between herself and her son in front of Qin Xiuying and Zhou Xiaohui. Seeing their shriveled appearance makes her feel very superior.
Now Qin Xiuying and Zhou Xiaohui no longer dare to compete with her for status, although they live a comfortable life, they are also boring. She knew how high she was in the Xie family.
Su Xiaoman sat and didn't say much. When a few children swallowed their saliva and didn't look at the broken eggs, they liked to look at her face.
Because the new little aunt in the family is good-looking, the smell of broken eggs is too fragrant and tempting, they can't eat it, they can only watch the beautiful aunt to divert their attention.
Good-looking people are always pleasing to the eye.
Su Xiaoman's eyes swept over several children, the old one was two boys, a daughter, the eldest boy Tie Dan, black and thin, with a blue-black birthmark on his face, When you don't pay attention, it's a little scary. The younger brother, Heidan, has a long face and snot on his nose. The other sister, Xiaohua, has black hands on her face, and she came to eat without washing her hands.
The third family is two daughters, Xie Chunjuan smiled at Su Xiaoman, took her sister Xia Juan's hand, and the two or three-year-old sister reached out to pull her sister's hair.
These children are all skinny, wearing tattered clothes, there are dense black mold spots on the front and back of the chest and back of the old children, so you can't look carefully.
Only the second child, Xie Yaozu, was wearing new blue clothes, the most prominent among the children, with a circle of soy sauce stains on his mouth.
Su Xiaoman thought that this Sun Mei was really eccentric.
Aren't the others her grandchildren?
Su Xiaoman scooped a spoonful of "pumpkin rice", lowered his head and took a bite, his face changed immediately, and he wanted to spit it out the next second.
She had never imagined that pumpkin could be cooked so badly, half of it tasted astringent, and half of it was mushy, which was really unappetizing.
Sister-in-law Xie's cooking skills are very poor.
Other people didn't say anything, maybe it's normal.
Su Xiaoman tasted several other dishes, his face became worse and worse, and finally he only took a piece of spicy **** from the pickle plate, and the spicy **** just taken out from the jar was red on the outside Chopped chili was the only appetizing dish on the table.
How do I deal with that person."
Sun Mei was eating, and she said something, yin and yang, and warned the three daughters-in-law present.
The third sister-in-law Zhou Xiaohui's lips moved, but she did not speak, but at this time, the elder sister-in-law Qin Xiuying pointed at Su Xiaoman and complained: "I saw Su Xiaoman eating boiled eggs in the morning. If the eggs are lost at home, she must take them. of."
Sun Mei immediately glared at Su Xiaoman.
Su Xiaoman reluctantly ate two mouthfuls of rice: "I haven't seen where the chicken coop is. The eggs I ate in the morning were sent by my brother."
Sun Mei also knew that it was unlikely that Su Xiaoman took it. She glanced at Zhou Xiaohui and continued to stare at Su Xiaoman. She wanted to cure Su Xiaoman for a long time, and asked: "Your brother sent Come here, it's my Xie family's stuff, it's going to be handed over to the public, you can't eat it secretly, your mother didn't teach you how to be a daughter-in-law."
Su Xiaoman: "Second sister-in-law, why didn't the second sister-in-law send it over to the public? Let everyone eat together."
"There are going back and forth. My mother's family gave me something, and my husband's family should also give me something to send back to my mother's house."
Su Xiaoman and Sun Mei were **** for tat, while the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law sitting on the side lowered their heads, smiling and watching the show.
"You, you can compare with your second sister-in-law, how hard she is, you are sitting here eating free food, and she worked hard to deliver meals to men in the fields."
When Sun Mei said this, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were uncomfortable. It was obvious that the two of them were doing the work at home. Thanks for your hard work.
"Well, I'll deliver food tomorrow." Su Xiaoman said amazingly, "Second sister-in-law is so hard, my new daughter-in-law should learn from her."
Sun Mei was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law three, that's it, we are all the daughters-in-law of our parents, we should take turns to deliver meals, how can we be lazy at home."
"How about we take turns?"
Sun Mei was overjoyed when she heard this question, and mocked: "Take turns? How many people do you think are willing to go, the eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, do you want to take turns to go? ?"
The old family and the third family never dared to disobey her.
Su Xiaoman really broke ground on Tai Sui, thinking that others would listen to her, funny.
The eldest daughter-in-law Qin Xiuying opened her mouth, but said nothing.
At this time, Zhou Xiaohui's mind suddenly came to the picture she saw a few days ago, Sun Mei would give Xie Yaozu an egg every one or two days, sometimes two, Xie Yaozu didn't like to eat egg yolks very much , he had eaten an egg that day, and another egg white, and played with a small half of the yolk under his feet.
Her little daughter Xia Juan was going to pick it up and was pushed by Xie Yaozu...
Zhou Xiaohui closed her eyes, looked at Chunjuan and Xiajuan, and said firmly, "Go, we will take turns in the future."
Sun Mei was stunned.
My sister-in-law was also stunned.
