For dinner, my daughter-in-law rolled out two bowls of cornmeal noodles, egg sauce, and a large plate of pickled radish strips.
The radishes were sent by my second daughter-in-law’s parents in the fall. They sent half a truck of radishes and vegetables, as well as a lot of dried wild vegetables, cornmeal, sweet potatoes, etc.
The second and third children also came back. The oldest was six years old, and the youngest was three years old. They were all boys. When the little kids saw them, they all called out “Grandpa and Grandma!”
"Well, let's eat!" Li Mancang touched the heads of the children. Li Mancang liked the children very much. The eldest son went to college and got married late. He still had no children after two years of marriage. He watched these children grow up and they were also close to him.
The whole family sat down to eat. The second daughter-in-law served and mixed the noodles and handed them to her and Li Mancang.
Wu Zhiqiu was in a trance. Did Chunni serve them like this in her previous life? Why did she have no memory of it at all?
The second daughter-in-law looked at Wu Zhiqiu and glared at the noodles. "What's wrong, mom? Is there not enough sauce?"
"No, no, I think you roll the noodles better than I do."
This is the first time the second daughter-in-law has heard her mother-in-law praise her.
The second son also glanced at the old lady and wondered where the sun would rise from today. He had never looked down upon his wife before, but today he was actually praising her.
The second child took a closer look at the noodles. Just like before, why was he so fond of praising them today?
The second daughter-in-law is simple-minded. She thinks that after so long, her mother-in-law finally recognizes her, and her eyes are hot.
"Mom, please try it. If you like it, I will make it for you every day in the future!"
Wu Zhiqiu felt uncomfortable listening to the nasal tone of his second son's wife. Just these nice words moved the child so much, which showed how much she disliked this daughter-in-law at the time!
She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. The noodles were smooth and had a faint aroma of corn and wheat. The egg sauce was fried in oil and was very fragrant.
"Delicious!" She gave a fair review.
"The cooking skills of the second son's wife are better than your mother's!" Li Mancang ate the food slurpingly, and did not forget to praise his daughter-in-law.
The second daughter-in-law turned her back and wiped her eyes with her sleeves! She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control it.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, or it will all get clumsy soon!" The second son pulled his wife to sit down
Several children's eyes rolled around, looking at this and that.
The third brother also observed the old mother. Why did her attitude towards the second sister-in-law change so much today? Did she think that the eldest brother was not reliable and wanted to follow the second brother again?
Wouldn't that job also be given to the second brother? That's impossible!
Noodles are eaten very quickly. After working hard for two hours, it only takes five minutes to eat!
The third child is waiting for his parents to quit their jobs
"Mom and Dad, there's something going on between Mina and me..."
"We don't care about your business, but don't worry about our job! No one will give me a job! I will retire in one year next year, and I will wait for my pension! You don't have to worry about it!"
"Mom, what should I do? I don't have a job, and Mina's family doesn't agree with our marriage!"
"That's your business, I have no right to interfere!"
"Mom, how could you do this? My eldest brother is getting married and you gave him 80 yuan as a betrothal gift!"
"Your second brother is getting married, and I haven't given him a cent yet? Why don't you compare? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Tomorrow I will go and get the eight hundred yuan betrothal gift back. Who else would give the wife's family a salary after marrying her?"
Wu Zhiqiu immediately remembered that she had just returned today and was confused about many things. She couldn't bear this loss! She couldn't let her scold her! Since she dared to scold me, she would just pretend that she didn't have this daughter-in-law!
The third brother...that's not what he meant. Besides, they have been married for two years, can the betrothal gift be taken back?
"Mom, I'm not asking you to ask for a dowry from my sister-in-law, it's just..."
"You also want so much dowry! And you also want me to work! Right!" Wu Zhiqiu looked at the third brother with a fake smile.
The third brother swallowed his saliva. This was what he meant, but seeing the old lady's attitude, he was a little afraid to say it, but he still nodded.
Wu Zhiqiu looked at his youngest son, who had a mind like a sieve. He thought that he was calculating and was trying to divert money, work, and everything else to his own family.
"Third brother, your sister-in-law scolded me today, you heard it!"
