70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 329 Rogue
"It's been several years, that's true. I don't even have one. Now my second aunt's family has two people earning money. No matter how difficult it is, a little leak from the fingers is enough to knit me a sweater." And I'm going to live here permanently, and it's so cold here in winter, so I have to knit one." He Hongmei said incredulously.

"Why don't you let your mother buy you wool to knit?" Xie Xiaonian looked at her like someone owed her, couldn't help frowning and said.

"My family is just a family of farmers. How can I have money? Unlike my second uncle, he is an officer. They don't usually go home, and they don't show filial piety to my grandma. So my grandma told me before she came, let me Let Second Aunt buy me whatever I want, they have money!"

"Your aunt sends your grandma some living expenses every year, right?" Xie Xiaonian asked.

"What is that 20 yuan a year enough for? Compared with their wages, it's still not a small change! Do you think my second uncle is not filial, and the money sent every year is not enough for my milk?" He Hongmei complained loudly .

"Then how much did your father, uncles and aunts give to your grandparents, more than your second uncle?" With the current purchasing power, Xie Xiaonian felt that the alimony of 20 yuan was already at the upper-middle level.

"How can my second uncle be the same as other families? My second uncle is the most promising person in our family. Of course, I have to work harder. This is called hard work for the capable. My grandma said that my second uncle is filial. The monthly allowance will be sent home to her for safekeeping. Our family used to live a good life, but since I married my second aunt, my grandma can no longer ask for extra money, otherwise sweaters have been popular for so many years How could I not get any of them." He Hongmei said angrily.

Xie Xiaonian listened to what she said, as if He Shulin should send all the money he earned home to her and then go to support their family instead of keeping it for himself!

No wonder Zhang Chunping didn't want to go back to her hometown for several years, and she always complained about her mother-in-law. When she met a family with such a strange brain circuit, she didn't want to go back.

Xie Xiaonian saw that He Hongmei's thoughts had been taught to be stereotyped, and felt that her second uncle was promising, so he should help her family and buy things for her, and he didn't bother to discuss these things with her, no matter how much he said, it was useless.

Moreover, based on Xie Xiaonian's understanding of Zhang Chunping, she is not the kind of person who will suffer. It is not easy for He Hongmei to get a bargain.

"Are you thirsty, let me pour you a glass of water!" Xie Xiaonian didn't want to talk about this topic with her, so she got up and poured two glasses of water to change the subject.

What He Hongmei said just now was just to let Xiao Nian know about her second aunt's evil deeds. She didn't think that others would immediately stand by her side, so seeing Xie Xiaonian change the subject, she shut up.

Every day between 3:4 and [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian would give pancakes and Heping extra meals. Even if He Hongmei was here today, Xie Xiaonian didn't want to starve the two children.

After ordering, Xie Xiaonian peeled a plate of pears and a pomegranate.

The cakes she made were not easy to take out at this time, so Xie Xiaonian took a plate of milk buns that were baked before and dried them out, and then cooked a small pot of goat's milk for the two children.

"What is this? It looks like a biscuit, but it doesn't look like a biscuit?" He Hongmei asked curiously, looking at the dried buns on the plate.

"This is a snack I made for the children, try it!" Xie Xiaonian greeted.

"This is for children, I can't eat it well, it seems like I'm fighting for food with my children!" He Hongmei said polite words, but her hands didn't stop, she reached out and grabbed a few pieces.

"The child is still young and can't eat a few pieces, so you can eat it!" Xie Xiaonian brought out a plate, which was also planned in advance for He Hongmei's portion.

"Then I won't be polite! Well, it's made of white flour and sugar. No wonder it's so delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious thing when I grow up!" Chen Xiuhong took a bite, eating happily.

"If you like to eat, eat more, but it's a bit dry, would you like some goat's milk?" Xie Xiaonian asked with a smile.

"If you don't want to drink it, I'd better drink water, that stuff is very smelly, it's too bad to drink, and it makes you angry after drinking it, so I won't drink it!" He Hongmei waved her hand and refused.

"This goat's milk is not as gentle as cow's milk. It's easy to get angry if you drink it every day, but it's okay to drink less. If you don't like it, just drink plain water!" Xie Xiaonian filled a small bowl for Heping and pancakes , put the rest in the pot without moving.

"Did you put sugar in this goat's milk? Why can I smell sweetness!" He Hongmei asked, wiggling her nose.

"No, maybe it's the sweetness in the bun!" Xie Xiaonian replied casually.

"Oh, that's it. I thought there was sugar in it. If there was sugar in it, I thought I'd just drink a bowl. Sugar tickets are hard to get. I haven't eaten sugar for a long time." He Hongmei thought Said pointedly.

"Yeah, sugar is so expensive, and it's really hard to get it at ordinary times. My husband only has more than 2 catties of sugar coupons a year. The sugar in this bun is left over when everyone makes moon cakes together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Usually, my family can't eat it." I don’t dare to eat it often. If you like sweet food, eat more steamed buns.”

Xie Xiaonian pretended not to hear the other party's intention to bring out the candy, and said in a weeping voice.

"Then do you still have mooncakes at home? My family is poor, and my grandma is not willing to buy mooncakes this year!" He Hongmei asked.

"No, mooncakes require sugar, dough, and fillings. The cost is too high. I only made a few, and I can eat them all on the same day!"

Xie Xiaonian saw her for a while, and almost finished eating the buns on the plate, thinking about bringing out mooncakes for her again, she felt that this person was not just greedy and thick-skinned, but a scoundrel.

Even if Xie Xiaonian didn't care about this thing anymore, she was a little annoyed.

After discovering that He Hongmei was such a person, Xie Xiaonian was not in a hurry to cook at night, and was going to wait for He Hongmei to leave before doing it, so as to save her from leaving.

"It should be your second aunt and the others who came back. I heard voices." Xie Xiaonian heard the voice outside, and said quickly, finally being able to send this person away.

"Really, then I'll go back first, and come to play with you when I have time!" He Hongmei got up and went out happily.

"Second Aunt, you are back, I have been waiting for you all afternoon!" He Hongmei looked at the people in the aisle and said with some complaints.

"Why did you come here? When did you come? Who told you to come?" Zhang Chunping looked at He Hongmei, frowning and asked one after another.

"Why, I can't come. I was sent by my grandma. What's the matter if I come to visit relatives at my second uncle's house, can't I?" He Hongmei replied with a stiff neck when she heard Zhang Chunping's bad tone.

"You didn't know she was coming, she came at noon today!" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously seeing Zhang Chunping was so surprised.

"I don't know, who knew she was coming, wait for the woods to come back and settle the score with him. Xiang Hong, what are you still standing there for, open the door and take your cousin into the house!" Zhang Chunping didn't want to quarrel with her, so she didn't like it to her daughter Said.

After several people entered the room, Zhang Chunping said to Xie Xiaonian clearly: "Xiao Nian, she has caused you a lot of trouble all afternoon, right?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little bit hungry, everything else is fine." Seeing that the relationship between Zhang Chunping and He Hongmei was not very good, Xie Xiaonian told the truth.

"I guess that's it. If she runs to your house again in the future, don't give her anything, don't pour any water, otherwise she will smell the smell and run to your house every day in the future, and you won't be able to shake her off." Zhang Chunping asked.

"Ah, wouldn't that be impolite?" Xie Xiaonian said in surprise.

"What kind of manners do you need with her? You don't know. In our village, she and my mother-in-law are notoriously gluttonous and thick-skinned. No matter who in the village improves their lives, both of them can smell the smell and go to other people's homes. , they don’t leave when they are eating. Some people have thin skins, so they will politely say a few words to keep them for dinner, and then the two of them will climb up the ladder and have a cheeky meal at their house. Although not every time They can get food, but for the folks in the village, sometimes the host family can't save face, so they will still give them some food. After a long time, the villagers know their virtues, and they don't even say polite words. Sometimes, the door will be closed tightly, so as to save them from eating. You said that now the family is so difficult, and it is hard to eat meat to improve their lives. There is not enough food for their own family, and they two outsiders go to share a cup soup."

"Don't people in the village talk about them?" The spitting stars in the countryside can drown people.

"Of course, people in the village don't know what to call them. Although my mother-in-law bears most of the notoriety, Hongmei's reputation is not much better. No, she is already 18 years old. People came to propose marriage. When Shulin came home, he told them not to go. The family was not poor and couldn’t afford food, but they didn’t listen at all. She has been praised a lot by my mother-in-law now. She thinks how good she is and how good she looks. Her eyes are higher than the top all day long. She! Now she has not learned how to be rude, and she is just like my mother-in-law, and I am annoyed to death when I see it." Zhang Chunping was full of anger and complaints when talking about her husband's family.

"Then you don't even know she came here? Your mother-in-law really has a big heart, so she can rest assured that a little girl came to such a far away strange place by train." Xie Xiaonian felt that if Zhang Chunping knew in advance, she would definitely stop her.

"Who knew she was coming? If I knew, the door would have been blocked long ago. My mother-in-law is used to doing this kind of thing. The woods must have found out when he picked her up, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hide it from me. Hey, let’s not talk about it, it’s just a terrible thing, I have to go back and look at it first, she don’t dig out the few months of cakes I have left.” Zhang Chunping said worriedly.

"That's fine, then go back and look at it first! By the way, I was knitting woolen pants for Apple at home today. Your niece saw it, and then it aroused her thoughts, saying that I will let you buy woolen sweaters for her tonight." , I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again!" Xie Xiaonian said apologetically.
