Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 8 Thick-skinned

"Brother." Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the person with a little surprise in his eyes.

The person who came was none other than his eldest brother, Qin De.

Qin De looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression, walked over and handed the thing in his hand to Li Meiling, "Meiling, this is corn noodles, take it to the house."

A bag of corn noodles only weighs ten kilograms. Qin Hao got married in the spring, and the family separated after they got married.

There wasn't much food to be distributed at that time, and he helped them buy seeds for planting. To be honest, his brother's marriage took away all of Qin De's family wealth.At that time, the couple had a fight, and the daughter-in-law almost returned to her parents' home.

Qin Hao put down his clothes and stood up, "Brother, take the corn noodles back with you. We have enough to eat now."

"What's enough for you?" Qin De said impatiently: "You can eat it if you get it. Besides, it's not mine. Your second sister asked someone to bring it back."

The second sister in the family often supports her parents' family, but she has no choice because the family's conditions are very poor.The second brother-in-law also complained a lot, and the two often had unpleasant quarrels.

Qin Hao felt that it was not possible to continue like this, so he thought for a while and said, "Brother, don't give me the things that the second sister brings back from now on. If she takes less, the couple won't have to quarrel."

He is grateful to his second sister, who supported him when he went to school. Otherwise, given his family's conditions, he would have been able to drop out of junior high school.

Qin De looked at him with doubts in his eyes, but said nothing more, "Don't pull him down."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

He left in such a hurry that Qin Hao opened his mouth not knowing what to say, so he could only watch his elder brother walk away.

Yards in rural areas are generally fenced with wooden fences. Their gates are made of wood, and the yard can be seen from the road.

"Daughter-in-law, please come into the house. I will go back after washing." Qin Hao said, sat down and continued to wash clothes.

He had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know much about the situation at home after he left in his previous life. Anyway, it was pretty bad.

From now on, he can't continue to trouble his eldest brother and second sister, he has to work hard on his own.Probably because I experienced a lot when I was 30 years old in my previous life, and now I feel the weight of my responsibilities.

In the room, Li Meiling saw that he had finished washing his clothes and went to bring out the food.

"I made a lot of steamed dumplings today. Do you want to send some to my mother-in-law?" Li Meiling asked after putting down the bowls and chopsticks.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat first. I'll take it to you when you're finished."

Today's steamed dumplings contain oil residue, so they are particularly fragrant. Even though they are made of cornmeal, they are much more delicious than steamed glutinous rice flour dumplings.

"It's so fragrant. Can we eat it like this?" Li Meiling wiped the meat oil from the corner of her mouth, and then licked it quickly. There was too much oil.

In fact, not much oil residue was put in, but too much meat oil was put in. Pickled cabbage itself absorbs oil.

Qin Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Is it a luxury to eat steamed dumplings made with corn flour? When you make money in the future, we will eat steamed dumplings made with white flour every day!"

The little daughter-in-law is so cute, but also, now that she is getting older, she can eat well.In the first two years, I still didn’t have enough to eat, so I couldn’t just eat corn, noodles and steamed buns.

Li Meiling blushed at his words, "Why does your mouth look like honey? I've never seen you so thick-skinned before!"

In the past, Qin Hao couldn't hit a fart with two sticks, but now he can't even scratch with a thick-skinned two-foot hook.

"Hey, what's this? We are a couple, what more face do I need from you?" Qin Hao smiled carelessly.

In fact, he used to be a dull gourd. He knew it in his heart, but he just couldn't open his mouth.

A person who has died has already opened his heart and there is nothing wrong with being more generous.Just by looking at Li Meiling, I knew that my change was right.

After the two of them had eaten, Qin Hao went out with a small pot of steamed dumplings, covered with a white drawer cloth. You could tell it was corn noodles, but you couldn't tell what was inside.

The second elder of the Qin family lives with Qin De. Their house is in the middle of the fort, only a few minutes' walk away.

No one said hello to anyone he met on the street. Qin Hao was like this before, and everyone was used to it anyway.

When I arrived at Qin's house, the door was open, and there were only a few chickens wandering around in the yard. The loess mud house was a little low, which is generally the case nowadays.

It’s not that there are no red brick houses, there are only two or three on the fingers.

"Mom? Are you at home?" Qin Hao shouted as he walked away.

Hearing the commotion, Wang Dahuachu pulled out his patched mille-feuille cloth shoes, "Why are you here? Have you eaten? Come inside."

This is the first time Qin Hao has come back since getting married. He doesn't usually come here.

The two entered the house one after another. The old couple lived in the east room, and Qin De's family lived in the west room, with two Kangs in the north and south.

"Haozi is here. What delicious food are you bringing? There are steamed buns at home, so you should keep them for yourself. It's not easy for the two of us." The expression on the sister-in-law's face was neither salty nor bland, and her mouth was not forgiving.

"You go back to the house after eating." Qin De glared at her dissatisfied.

In any case, he and Qin Hao are Qin brothers, and there is no deep hatred between them. Why are they talking like this?

He Lirong said nothing, rolled his eyes and turned away.

"These are the dumplings made by Meiling. Parents, you can eat some." Qin Hao didn't take it seriously and put down the basin in his hand.

He doesn't live with He Lizong. He can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't treat his parents badly.

Qin Ershuan, who was sitting on the kang, said with a smile: "Haozi, you can eat whatever is available. We have food here. If you are short of anything, just tell me and I will give it to you."

Qin Ershuan broke two legs in his early years and had them amputated below the knee. If it weren't for Wang Dahua, the family would have been broken up long ago.

"I know, dad, I don't need anything." Qin Hao felt uncomfortable. He really didn't know why he had such a bad idea in the first place, leaving his family who loved and cared for him and running away, and not coming back for ten years.

"Sit down." Wang Dahua pulled him to sit by the kang and said to herself: "Your uncle has written to me in the past few days, saying that he wants to come and see me. Your uncle has been out for several years. I heard that It’s going well.”

"Uncle?" Qin De frowned and said, "He is so unreliable, what can he do? Mom, don't listen to his nonsense."

"You kid! That's your uncle." Wang Dahua glared at him dissatisfied.

"What can I do, uncle? He's only three years older than me. He's already thirty this year, right? It's good to have a wife." Qin De disagreed.

He doesn't have those stupid and filial thoughts, but he is a bit outspoken. He just doesn't like people who he doesn't like, and he won't say a good word to them.

Seeing this, Qin Hao touched his chin and asked, "Where did my old uncle go to develop his career? It's really not easy to go out these days. To work, you need a city registered residence."

There is no such situation in their town, but in county cities, all part-time workers must be local. If you are too far away, you may not be able to find someone if something goes wrong.

At this time, working in the city required a household registration, which was not as flexible as in modern times.
