The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 12 The farce caused by a bowl of fish soup ([-])

"I'm telling the truth, what are you afraid of?" Chen Zhu frowned, not convinced.

"Your brother-in-law... wants to study and take a test for fame." Chen sighed slightly, defending her husband.

"I take the exam every year, and I haven't seen him get an official job?" Chen Zhu sneered, "At any rate, his father is still a scholar. As for him, he can't pass the exam, so he relies on two women to support him. He is so mean, I don't know." Feel ashamed for him!"

"Zhuzi!" Chen's voice suddenly rose, and he stopped sharply: "I don't allow you to say that about your brother-in-law!"

"Sister, I..."

"Okay, you are not allowed to say that, if you say something about your brother-in-law again, I am in a hurry with you," Chen said flatly, "Do you still listen to me?"

"I, I'm doing it for your own good, sister." Chen Zhu said aggrievedly in a low voice.

"Sister knows." Mrs. Chen sighed faintly, and said dejectedly: "But sister is the daughter-in-law of the Hai family after all, you say that, how can I be a man, how can sister live in the Hai family."

"Sister, I was wrong." Chen Zhu hesitated to speak, "But tell me the truth, how are you doing here? I don't think you're happy."

"Okay, okay...I'm not happy anymore." Chen forced a smile unnaturally.

"That's good." Chen Zhu patted his chest, and said seriously: "If someone in the Hai family bullies you, tell your brother."

"Well, sister knows. Don't worry." Chen replied, turned her back, and quietly wiped away tears while putting the floral cloth into the closet.

"Mother, are you okay? I'll be free some other day, and I'll take Coriander to see her."

"Okay, I just miss you, I'm old."

Thinking of mother, Chen's eyes became hot again.

"Sister, do you still remember that when we were at home, we loved to catch fish in the pond. Every time Mother made fresh fish soup for you, you drank it completely."

"How can I not remember." The corner of Chen's mouth curled into a tranquil smile, recalling those happy days in Chenjia Village when she was not married, what a happy day it was.

"Sister, you have coriander, and you will have more mouths at home. Life may be even more difficult." Chen Zhu said with concern: "You like to drink fish soup. From now on, I will often catch fish and bring it to you."

"No!" Mrs. Chen waved her hand and said, "I'm not filial, I can't serve my mother, don't worry about me, take good care of my mother for me. Don't be naughty and cause trouble!"

"Hey. I listen to sister." Chen Zhu laughed "hehe".Xiangcai listened quietly from the side. Since she was born, besides the enthusiasm of Mrs. Liu, all she felt was the indifference and rejection of this family. At this moment, Xiao Xiangcai felt the rare warmth and warmth in the Westinghouse Once fell in love with relatives other than mother - her little uncle Chen Zhu.She thought to herself, this is the real family.

The next day, the old lady and Mrs. Chen came back from planting seedlings with small coriander.After lunch, Hai Rui was asked to come out of the house, and the whole family sat around the dining table in the yard.

Because the house is dark and the place is narrow, the Hai family usually eats in the spacious and bright yard.

A meat dish, fish soup, was added to the table for today's meal.The fish soup is served in a big black soup bowl. The milky white fish soup is still emitting a steaming aroma, piercing people's nostrils. It is really tempting to be served in a black soup bowl.There are a few stars of emerald green scallions floating on the surface of the snow-white soup, and in the soup is a boiled soft crucian carp.

"Mom, where did you get the fish soup?" Hai Rui asked in surprise, "You don't have money to buy fish at home?"

"Oh, it's from your daughter-in-law's natal brother." The old lady said casually.

The eight eyes of the four people, including the little coriander in Chen's arms, were all staring at the pot of fish soup on the table.Ever since Xiao Xiangcai was born in this family, she has never seen meat on the dinner table.Regardless of pork, beef, mutton, horse meat, dog meat, or fish, I have never seen any meat.Regardless of sliced ​​meat, shredded pork, dried meat and minced meat broth, I just haven't seen a single bit of meat.

Every day, apart from green vegetables, there are wild vegetables on the table, and a bird can fade out of its mouth.There is no oil or water in Haijia dishes, it looks like boiled water, but the taste is really tasteless in the mouth, so the old lady put salt and dried chili into the dishes, and the cooked dishes are salty and spicy, hard to swallow. I'm used to it, but I can swallow it.Over time, the Hai family has become accustomed to heavy flavors, and there are always long strings of red dried chilies and garlic heads hanging under the windows of the West House of the Hai family.

But anyway, I can't eat coriander now, I just drink some rice soup and rice cereal every day.For the Hai family, eating meat is a luxury, and having fish soup is even more rare.

While everyone was staring at the fish soup, the old lady unceremoniously pushed the whole pot of fish soup in front of her son, saying: "Son, you have worked hard in studying, mother has boiled this pot of fish soup for you for several hours, it is delicious Come! Drink it while it's hot."

"Mom, you drink." Hai Rui gently pushed the fish soup over again, and said, "I'll just eat vegetables and rice."

Thus, a war of humility kicked off, and the drama of mother's kindness and filial piety was staged again.

Pushing a small pot of soup back and forth, no less than twenty rounds, the steam was bubbling and exhausted, so it automatically turned off, and the soup gradually cooled.Little Coriander's head followed the two people's endless push and push, and the little head also turned left and right from time to time.

Her mother, Mrs. Chen, kept her usual silent style. She knew in her heart that looking at this posture, the fish soup was nothing to do with her, so she stopped looking at it. .

Hai Rui finally couldn't hold back the stubborn old lady and surrendered.He scooped up a spoonful of soup, and as soon as he brought it to his mouth, Coriander suddenly burst into tears with a sharp "wow--", crying so loudly that he was out of breath.

Hai Rui stopped the spoon strangely, and Coriander immediately stopped crying.

Seeing that she stopped crying, Hai Rui picked up the spoon with confidence, and said "Wow—" another deafening sound.

Hai Rui put down the spoon again.

Xiao Xiangcai stopped talking, and even smiled with tears on her face.

This weird behavior finally managed to attract her father Hai Rui's attention.This baby has always been quiet, neither crying nor fussing, what's the matter today, crying and laughing, the dinner table became noisy?The old lady is also very angry, what do you mean?This little girl is so spirited, dare to compete with my old lady at such a young age?Why are you crying?Can't you let your father, An Sheng, eat fish and drink soup?
"Does Little Coriander want to drink too?" Hai Rui was so upset that he finally realized the existence of Coriander and her daughter.

"Shall I give some to the coriander? She is still young and needs to grow up." Looking at the white fish soup, Chen couldn't help but said, thinking how pitiful her daughter has been without milk.

Coriander was still as stable as Mount Tai, and she looked at it coldly, but there was an indescribable disgust in her eyes.Even if the fish soup stinks, no one will remember her and mother.

In this family, only when they are working, the cilantro girls are family members, and they can see the cilantro girls in their eyes.The rest of the time, they basically act as if they don't exist.
