Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 13 Mother-in-law’s Disdain
"Qin Hao, this is too much." Li Meiling carried a basket on her arm, which contained twenty large steamed buns.

There were 25 steamed ones in total. She planned to keep them for the two of them to eat. She thought of taking ten of them back, but she didn't expect to just take twenty of them.

"It's not much. We can eat it and steam it. We can go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and see what we can buy. I don't know what my parents like to eat." Qin Hao thought that he really couldn't just bring steamed buns.

My uncle has to bring two cans or something when he goes back, so he can't embarrass his wife.Also let the mother-in-law know that they are living a good life.

"That's enough. My parents don't choose." Li Meiling didn't agree with his approach. After all, her family didn't have much money.

There was no money left after getting married before, and their lives were really not as good as others.

Besides, Qin Hao's changes were only recent, which made Li Meiling feel that her life could go on and she felt more at ease.

Qin Hao didn't listen to her either. When passing through the town, he went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of canned fruit and two pounds of pork.

This made Li Meiling very helpless, but she didn't spend the money elsewhere. It was nothing to spend on her parents' family.

By the time the two of them arrived at Lijiacun, it was already ten o'clock.

"Second sister!" Li Meiling's younger brother Li Haidong ran over and said with a smile: "Second sister, why are you back? Why don't you ask someone to send you a message?"

"Isn't this a temporary decision? Are my parents at home?" Li Meiling asked.

"Here, here, my brother-in-law is here, come in." Li Donghai greeted his second sister and then paid attention to his second brother-in-law.

He is only 16 years old, so he is not looked down upon by adults, but he is just too unfamiliar to be close to him.

The three of them entered the yard. Qin Hao parked his bicycle and then carried his things into the house.

"Meiling, why are you suddenly back?" Zhao Mei was sitting on the kang, sewing shoe soles, and was startled when she saw the two of them.

Li Meiling put down the basket and said, "Qin Hao said he wanted to come and have a look. I thought I had nothing to do at home, so I agreed to come back."

It was obvious that she wanted to return to her parents' home, but it was Qin Hao who wanted to come back.In fact, this is also to make a good impression on my mother-in-law, and I have to say that she has considered it very comprehensively.

Qin Hao answered: "Yes, Mom, I don't have much to do during the recent farm break, so I came over to take a look."

Seeing Qin Hao, Zhao Mei's expression on her face was neither salty nor bland, and she nodded, "Sit down."

"Mom, should I ask dad to come back?" Li Haidong thought that his second sister was back and he had to meet her.

Zhao Mei stopped him and refused to let him go, "I'll be back after lunch, so just wait and see."

She turned around and started chatting with Li Meiling. It turned out that her father-in-law, Li Lin, had gone to help build a house for someone else. He did not provide meals at noon but paid wages.

There are very few people in rural areas who pay to hire workers. They basically provide food, and no one from their neighbors asks for money.

"It turns out it's the captain's house. No wonder, her wife doesn't want people to go to their house for dinner." Li Meiling learned about the situation and was no longer curious.

Everyone has different personalities, which is common here.

While the two of them were reminiscing about old times, Qin Hao went out and sat at the foot of the room.

Li Haidong walked over and said, "Second brother-in-law, don't be like my mother. She is snobbish."

Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but raise his head and look at him in surprise, "Are you afraid of being overheard?"

"What are you afraid of! She is in the house." Li Haidong said, glancing secretly into the house.

This is really tough talk and cowardice.

Qin Hao smiled and said: "I'm not angry, and I understand what mom thinks. After all, she is her daughter. Who doesn't want his daughter to live well?"

In his previous life, he didn't understand and thought that his mother-in-law was snobbish.Only after entering society did he know what snobbishness was, and his mother-in-law had a good temper.Li Haidong didn't expect that he was quite nice. "I feel relieved if you think like this. Second brother-in-law, please live a good life with my second sister. I will definitely help you when I become successful in the future."

This brother-in-law, who didn't even graduate from high school, actually said he wanted to help them.

Qin Hao nodded, "Okay, I will count on my brother-in-law from now on."

The two women in the room had finished chatting and were preparing lunch.Their family had a lot of land, and all the land their two daughters got when they got married was left behind.

Therefore, their family also has three meals, and the food is a little rich.Even if this is the case, you still have to work, and the hard work you put in is double that of others.

Although Zhao Mei looked down on Qin Hao, she never said anything bad to him. After all, they were married. She would only make her daughter sad if she said something hurtful to her son-in-law.

She would stew the meat she brought over at noon and heat up the steamed buns.

"Same for you. You're steaming so many white flour steamed buns, why don't you mix some corn flour into them?" Zhao Min touched the steamed buns distressedly.

If this is mixed with ten pounds of corn flour, how many extra steamed buns will there be?

"Mom, just eat what I've made for you, it's Qin Hao's wish." Li Meiling still pushed good things to the man.

Zhao Min also came from a married life. How could he not know what his daughter was thinking?He could only sigh helplessly, "If he really means it, then work to earn more money so that you can have food and clothing after you raise your baby."

When she marries a man, she wants to be clothed and fed. She does not ask for wealth or a noble family, but only hopes that her children will be well clothed and well fed.

So her demands on Qin Hao are a bit high, which is what others think. In fact, she feels that her demands are not high at all.

Li Meiling knew her situation, and it was useless to say anything now. If her mother could see that her life was better, it would be more useful than any words she could say.

It was already 11:30 noon when the meal was ready. Li Lin walked back quickly and smiled when he saw his son-in-law in the yard.

"Haozi is here. Why are you here, so shameless? How did you come?"

Seeing his father-in-law being so enthusiastic, Qin Hao felt a little embarrassed and said, "You came on a bicycle, come in."

"Dad!" Li Meiling came over to say hello happily, complaining that the other party had such a tiring job.

Li Lin is already 45 this year, which is not really old, but he suffered a lot when he was young, and his health is naturally not as good as that of normal people.

Judging from his appearance, he looks like he is in his fifties, quite old.

"It's okay, it's okay, your father and I are in the prime of life, haha!" Li Lin was very happy, probably because his daughter and son-in-law came back to see him.

During lunch, Li Lin poured two taels of white wine and wanted to pour Qin Hao a glass as well.

Before Qin Hao could refuse, Zhao Mei said, "He will take the girl back on his bike in a while. What are you doing? What should I do if he gets drunk after drinking!"

Qin Hao followed suit and said, "Yes, Meiling is just pregnant. I'll ride slower and I can't drink."

Li Lin didn't insist when his own girl was involved.

He had to continue working in the afternoon, and he was very happy after drinking a few sips.

The whole family was enjoying themselves happily. Except for Zhao Mei's slightly disgusted look from time to time, everything else was fine.

Qin Hao has developed a thick skin a long time ago and is not afraid of this at all. He eats with a smile and occasionally chats.

This attitude of eating and drinking made Zhao Mei speechless.
