I didn't have a knife and I didn't have time to buy one early in the morning, so I had to cook porridge for breakfast. I chopped the vegetables and onions with scissors, mixed them into the batter, and fried them into pancakes.
Wang Shuning, who had not gotten enough sleep because she went out in the middle of the night, was no longer sleepy. Song's mother just called her at the door of the room and she got up.
Looking at her sleepy little daughter, Mother Song frowned, "Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?"
Wang Shuning yawned, "I was first woken up by the crowing of a rooster, then I heard you guys talking, and then I couldn't fall asleep."
Song's mother felt a little guilty. There was indeed a lot of noise this morning. After her little daughter came back, she not only got up late, but also liked to stay in bed.
"The kitchen window was not locked yesterday and a thief stole two knives. I was so angry."
Wang Shuning pretended to be surprised, "Stealing a knife, how short of money must one be to not even be able to afford a knife?"
Zhang Xiuzhen came out of the kitchen carrying a plate. "The kitchen knife is not cheap. Our kitchen knife is very heavy and made of a lot of iron. If I buy another one, the quality will definitely not be as good as the original one."
Song's mother was angry again, "If I catch him, I will chop him twice."
The toothbrush Wang Shuning had just picked up fell into the mouthwash cup, and he silently poured water and went outside to brush his teeth.
After breakfast, Wang Shuning sat on the kang and read a book. After a while, his eyelids began to swell and his head began to feel sleepy.
Simply, Song's mother and Zhang Xiuzhen went out to buy things, and the father and son of the Wang family took their fishing rods and went to the river to fish. Wang Shuning went straight back to his room, locked the door, and continued to take a nap.
When I woke up, it was time for lunch. It was the buckwheat noodles that I missed in the morning, and the臊子 was fried with bacon and bamboo shoots.
"You can really sleep." Wang Jianjun brought the noodles to Wang Shuning. After returning home, his younger sister has really been spoiled by her mother. If it were him, he would have scolded her countless times.
Wang Shuning mixed the noodles with chopsticks and said, "That's because the kang that my father heated was too warm, so I didn't want to get up."
Beijing Railway Station.
Lv Beichu walked out of the carriage holding Guo Jingyi's hand, "Jingyi, there are too many people on the platform. My parents should be waiting for us at the exit of the train station."
Guo Jingyi nodded. There were also many people at the H City Railway Station, but it was far less crowded than here.
When the two arrived at the exit of the train station, Lu Beichu still hadn't seen his parents.
The two people wearing thin cotton coats were shivering with cold. In the end, Lu Beichu had to take Guo Jingyi and carry the things back by himself.
When the two of them reached the door of their home, Lv Beichu's mother was stunned, "Beichu, why didn't you tell me when you came back? I could have asked your dad to pick you up at the train station."
Lu Beichu's face turned dark, and he said in a low voice, "Mom, the letter I sent back last time said that I would be back today, and even wrote the train number."
Mother Lu froze and turned around to look in the drawer in the living room.
When Lu Beichu saw that the letter he had written was unopened, his heart sank to the bottom of the cliff.
Guo Jingyi silently reached out and held Lu Beichu's cold right hand.
Mother Lu put the letter back with some embarrassment. "Maybe the postman was in a hurry that day and didn't open the letter, so the back part leaked out."
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Lu's mother looked at Guo Jingyi and raised her lips lovingly, "Jingyi, hurry up and sit down. You and Beichu got married in D City. I was busy at home at that time and I didn't go. Today I finally see my good daughter-in-law."
Lu Beichu calmed down. Everything has become different since he went to the countryside.
Guo Jingyi called out politely, "Mom."
After they sat down, Lu Beichu asked, "Where are Dad and sister?"
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Your father took your sister to the state-owned store to buy things. I think he will be back soon."
Lu Beichu brought Guo Jingyi to his room. The bed was covered with a dust cover and there was not much dust on the table, so it must have been cleaned before.
Lu's mother was cooking in the kitchen. Lu Beichu took a basin of water and started to clean the house with Guo Jingyi.
When Lu's father and Lu Aiyuan came back, they saw Guo Jingyi carrying the dirty water out to pour it out.
"Dad." Guo Jingyi shouted.
Lu Aiyuan didn't know Guo Jingyi, and when she heard her calling her dad, she didn't react for a moment.
Father Lu recognized Guo Jingyi. He looked up into the house and saw Lu Beichu standing in the hall, looking at him. "It's only two days before the Chinese New Year. You guys are finally back. Aiyuan, this is your sister-in-law."
Lu Aiyuan nodded blankly and shouted, "Hello, sister-in-law."
She immediately ran forward after she shouted, and grabbed Lu Beichu's arm, "Brother, you're finally back, I missed you so much!"
Lv Beichu, who had a problem with his parents favoring his younger sister, couldn't help but feel a little doting when he saw Lv Aiyuan sticking to him, "Are you okay at home?"
Lu Aiyuan nodded and raised her right wrist in front of Lu Beichu's eyes. "Everything is fine at home. Brother, this is the watch that Dad took me to the mall to pick out today. Do you think it looks good?"
The corners of Lu Beichu's mouth that had just been raised froze instantly, his eyes stopped on the dial, and he nodded reluctantly and said, "It looks good."
Guo Jingyi felt uncomfortable at the moment. The situation of the Lu family was different from what she had expected.
"Beichu and Jingyi are back today, so I specially prepared two more dishes. You guys should sit down and eat." Mother Lu wiped the water off her hands with her apron and invited the four of them to sit down and eat.
Lu Beichu stared at the chestnut roast chicken and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table. The two dishes were both his sister's favorites and his own.
If it were in the past, Lu Beichu would have thought it was fair, but now it feels a bit ironic.
During the meal, Lu Aiyuan kept asking Guo Jingyi to eat. She was a little curious about this sister-in-law whom she had never met before.
Her parents had told her more than once that Guo Jingyi's family conditions were not as good as their own and that she was not worthy of her older brother.
Lu Beichu was used to eating dishes cooked by Guo Jingyi. Although he had been eating the dishes cooked by Lu's mother since he was a child and they had a familiar hometown taste, it was a fact that the taste was not as good as Guo Jingyi's.
What’s especially special is that this chicken was half a chicken, with only one chicken leg, and was given to her younger sister by Lu’s mother.
After dinner, Lu Beichu and Guo Jingyi went back to their room to rest. They were very sleepy after sitting on the train for such a long time.
Guo Jingyi looked at Lu Beichu, who was in a low mood and kept his head down. She walked over and sat beside the bed, holding his hand. "What's wrong?"
Lu Beichu hesitated for a few seconds and then said softly, "My parents have changed. They didn't treat me like this before."
Guo Jingyi sighed secretly in her heart and comforted him: "Maybe it's because your sister stays at home for a long time, and you are in the countryside, so you don't spend as much time with them."
Lu Beichu gritted his teeth and said, "I went to the countryside after graduating from high school. How could the relationship between us for twenty years fade in just one year? I am their biological son."
When I got married, Lu's father said that Jingyi's family was not well off and there was no need to give too much dowry.
After graduating from high school, my sister looked for a job, and she needed money to get married, so in the end, the dowry was just 100 yuan and a sewing machine.
But my sister still has six months to graduate from high school, and my father bought her a new watch in advance. Such favoritism really makes me feel uncomfortable.
Lu Beichu didn't tell her that his family disliked Guo Jingyi's family conditions and reduced the betrothal gift, otherwise he would not be the only one who would be angry.
