Chapter 3

Entering the living room with the vegetable bowl, Xu Xiaofu looked up, the six people had already sat down firmly, just waiting for Xu Xiaofu to bring the dishes to the table for dinner.

Xu Xiaofu took another look at her husband, Zheng Shiwen, who had this body.Zheng Shiwen's skin is fair and clean, and his black hair is tied with a strand of cloth. He has a very good skin, which can be seen from Liu Shi's affectionate eyes.Mrs. Liu is also good-looking, with a thin layer of powder on her face, wearing a light red jacket and a light green long skirt, she is really gorgeous, her eyebrows and eyes are full of charm meaning.

Zheng Shihua, the second son of the Zheng family, is taller and taller. His wife, Nianshi, is a very dignified woman, wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket and a long skirt of the same color, sitting at the dinner table.

As for Zheng Xiaolian, the youngest of the Zheng family, she looks somewhat similar to Zheng Shiwen. Although she is only 14 years old, she has a good appearance, fair skin, willow eyebrows, and red phoenix eyes. When looking at people, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised. Xiao Fu said angrily: "How can you be so clumsy, I'm almost starving to death."

Xu Xiaofu kept his eyebrows low and didn't speak, he put the dishes on the table, went to the kitchen and brought out the baked white flour pancakes, each of them distributed one, naturally there were no Xu Xiaofu and lotus.Both of them have a bowl of sweet potato porridge to drink.After filling the porridge for everyone, Xu Xiaofu pulled the lotus flower and sat down, drinking the porridge and eating vegetables silently.

Mrs. Zheng glared at them, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick in the pot of stewed radish to see if there were any slices of meat she had cut.Nian, who was sitting next to Mrs. Zheng, frowned dissatisfiedly, "Mother, what are you doing? How can you eat the food while stirring it up and down like this?"

Nian's family background is good, and the etiquette rules are not bad. The most unsightly behavior is Mrs. Zheng's behavior.

Every time there is meat to eat at home, Mrs. Zheng cuts it by herself, counts it clearly after cutting it, and counts it again after it is out of the pot.But every time he counted before it was served on the table, this time Xu Xiaofu was very fast and brought out the dishes before Mrs. Zheng could react.Helpless, Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to count at the dinner table, but she didn't want to be told by Nian.

What Nian said, and Mrs. Zheng was a little afraid of this second daughter-in-law from a good family background, so she smiled embarrassingly and took back her chopsticks.

Mrs. Zheng is afraid of the Nian clan, but some people are not. To be precise, they don't want to make Xu Xiaofu feel better.Mrs. Liu raised her slender eyebrows, gave Xu Xiaofu a look, and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister, mother, I'm afraid that there will be mice stealing food in the kitchen, so I count them. Besides, we are all a family." If there's anything I can't eat, the second sibling has more rules..."

Xu Xiaofu pretended not to hear, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a big piece of radish, stuffed it into his mouth, and gulped down two mouthfuls of porridge.She was almost starving to death, and now she should eat more while they are talking about it, otherwise, when Mrs. Zheng regained her senses, she would have nothing to eat again.

Nian carefully swallowed the food in his mouth, then raised his head and glanced at Liu, and said, "Eat what you can eat, and leave when you can't. Don't talk so much. Besides, we are a family What do you mean by talking about sister-in-law like that?" Although Nian Shi didn't like the timid Xu Xiaofu, he hated Liu Shi who was a concubine even more, to be precise, he hated the concubine.

Mrs. Liu snorted, and was about to say something, when Zheng Shiwen frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking, eat quickly." Then he looked at Xu Xiaofu again, with an extremely dissatisfied expression, as if She was blaming her for not letting Mrs. Zheng count the dishes before serving them on the table.

Xu Xiaofu snorted coldly in his heart, pretending he didn't see Zheng Shiwen's reproachful eyes.

After dinner, Xu Xiaofu was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and the lotus nest was next to the stove to keep warm.

After washing the dishes and preparing to boil the water, Mrs. Zheng walked in and walked around the kitchen, but she didn't find anything wrong, so she snorted and remembered that Xu Xiaofu didn't wait for her to count the meat. The act of serving the table made him curse, "You bastard, you stole meat from the kitchen just now, and you brought the food out in a hurry?"

Xu Xiaofu stood aside with a low eyebrow, "Mother, I didn't..."

Mrs. Zheng seemed puzzled, remembering how angry she was at Xu Xiaofu in the afternoon, she slapped Xu Xiaofu, Xu Xiaofu staggered and almost fell on the big tank next to her.Xu Xiaofu quickly raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Zheng, gritted his teeth and endured it, the lotus is here, she is not good to do with Mrs. Zheng.

The lotus is trembling aside.

Seeing that she just lowered her head, Mrs. Zheng snorted in satisfaction, and said: "Hurry up and boil some hot water for Shiwen and Ruyi, let them rest quickly, so that I can give birth to a big fat boy... Humph, A chicken that doesn't lay eggs." The last sentence naturally referred to Xu Xiaofu.

Ruyi is the Liu family, Liu Ruyi.

After that, he turned around and went out.

"Mother, does it hurt you? I will rub the lotus flower for you..." The lotus flower looked at Xu Xiaofu tearfully, obviously feeling very sorry for her mother being beaten by her grandmother.

Touching the lotus, Xu Xiaofu said: "Don't worry about the lotus, mother doesn't feel any pain, okay, you sit here obediently, mother goes to boil the water, after we boil the water, we go to bed."

After the water was boiled, Xu Xiaofu took another radish and mashed it and boiled it in water. Finally, the two of them soaked their hands and feet in the boiled radish water.The radish water is used to treat chilblain, and the hands and feet of the two of them were so cold that they were disfigured.

After returning to the room, the two mothers huddled together on a small bed, listening to the wind blowing outside, the lotus shivered in Xu Xiaofu's arms, "Mom, it's so cold." Xu Xiaofu hid the night secretly The white flour pancakes that got up took out and stuffed them into Lotus' hands, "Eat it quickly, it won't be cold after eating."

"Mother eats too." Xiao Hehua divided the flour pancake into two and gave Xu Xiaofu half.Xu Xiaofu refused to eat it, and in the end he pushed and pushed the whole white-flour pancake for Hehua to eat. Hehua licked his mouth, hugged Xu Xiaofu tightly in the dark, and murmured: "Mom, white-flour pancakes are really good." eat."

Xu Xiaofu was silent, an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.

The two of them slept like this all night.

Just after dawn, Xu Xiaofu heard Mrs. Zheng yelling and cursing from outside, "You bastard, why don't you get up quickly, maybe you still want my mother to wait for you to get up."

Xu Xiaofu sat up in a jerk, looked around blankly, and seemed to have not recovered, until the outside door was slapped and cracked, and she suddenly remembered that now she is not Xu Qing, but A poor ancient woman named Xu Xiaofu.

Frustrated, he scratched his hair, Xu Xiaofu got out of bed and opened the door.

Outside the door, Mrs. Zheng stared as if she was going to eat half of Xu Xiaofu, she stretched out her hand and waved towards Xu Xiaofu.

Xu Xiaofu didn't wait for Mrs. Zheng's hand to fall on her body, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I was wrong, don't hit me, I'm really uncomfortable, so I got up late..."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zheng paused, and actually took her hand back. Mrs. Zheng didn't seem to have expected Xu Xiaofu to say that. After all, in the past, she would only let herself be beaten and scolded without begging for mercy. if.Although there was no beating, Mrs. Zheng scolded her quite a lot.

Xu Xiaofu let her curse, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast by himself.

Mrs. Zheng called Lotus again cursing.

During breakfast, Xu Xiaofu quickly finished his bowl of porridge, then looked at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Mother, the weather has changed these days, and the lotus flower and I are so cold that we can't sleep at night, mother, can you sleep?" You can't give us another quilt." She shrank her neck and said pitifully.

Mrs. Zheng really wanted to yell at her for wishful thinking, but Zheng Xiaolian who was at the side suddenly pulled Mrs. Zheng, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, you can give her a quilt, otherwise she will be as cold as that little girl." If you die, don’t you still have to serve our family, don’t you think?”

Once Mrs. Zheng thought that this was indeed the case, she said no more, just said: "Forget it, I will bring you a quilt with me when I bring you back."

But Zheng Xiaolian was not thinking about Xu Xiaofu and He Hua, but worried that Xu Xiaofu and He Hua would be bullied if Xu Xiaofu and He Hua froze to death. For Liu's elder sister's face, she didn't dare to offend Liu, only Xu Xiaofu and He Hua could make her vent her anger when she was in a bad mood.

"Thank you mother..." Xu Xiaofu hurriedly thanked Mrs. Zheng.

With this quilt, although it is still quite cold at night, at least the two of them will not be frozen to death.
