Meat-sharing controversy
Qin Xiaoqin yelled at Yang Xiu who was holding a kitchen knife:
"Who told you to cut it? I knew you were a kind-hearted person. You pretended to be generous, but you just can't bear to see my mother giving me meat. I don't know what bad things you are thinking..."
Hu Yufeng's face turned green as she scolded: "Shut up, I asked your sister-in-law to cut it..."
She looked up at her daughter and asked, "If you have any opinions, come to me. How can I not make the decision for the pigs I feed myself?"
Qin Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment when she saw her mother's ashen face.
My own mother has never been so disrespectful to me. Didn’t she stand on my side last time?
She looked at Yang Xiu hatefully: "I knew you were a bad guy, you were the one who instigated this..."
Veins bulged on Qin Wenli's hands. Seeing that her husband looked unwell, Yang Xiu put down the knife and pulled him out.
There were only mother and daughter left in the room.
Hu Yufeng was very tired. That day she went from being full of hope to being disappointed, and from being disappointed to being heartbroken.
She looked at her daughter and asked:
"Xiaoqin, what are you doing? You've been glaring at your sister-in-law since you walked in. Yang Xu is even patting the child's head, but you, her dear aunt, don't even smile. What are you doing here?"
Qin Xiaoqin was still immersed in the anger of her mother's "betrayal" of her at this moment, and asked back:
"Mom, what's wrong with you today? Yang Xiu is a servant to begin with. What's wrong with her? Do I have to give her face?"
She looked at her mother in disbelief: "You blame me, didn't you say you wanted to step on Yang Xiu to prevent her from teaming up with my brother to bully you? Mom, why are you helping them deal with me?"
"I was just wondering what's wrong with you. I noticed something was wrong with you since the Chinese New Year. You ignored them before, but now you're trying to curry favor with my brother. Are you going to rely on him for your retirement?"
Hu Yufeng listened to Qin Xiaoqin's increasingly outrageous words, and patted her on the back in anger: "You are going to piss me off to death, what sin have I committed…"
Yang Xu, who came running over after hearing the noise, stopped Qin Xiaoqin: "What are you talking about? Look, you've made your mother-in-law cry..."
After saying that, he half pushed and half hugged Qin Xiaoqin to the door.
The words of her daughter's questioning were still ringing in her ears, but Hu Yufeng's ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear clearly...
She was stunned for a moment, but still picked up the bag and went to the chopping board.
She hesitated for a long time between the front and hind legs, and finally lifted the hind legs and put them in the bag.
Seeing that it was about time, Yang Xu came to say goodbye to Hu Yufeng.
Because of this incident, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention staying for two days.
Hu Yufeng handed him the bag of pork legs and only told him to drive slowly.
Yang Xu silently held the bag tightly and did not push it anymore. After all, the purpose of their trip was to get the meat. If they continued to push and shove it, it would seem more hypocritical.
The yard was quiet. Apart from Hu Yufeng, there was no sign of the two children.
Yang Xu quickly glanced at Qin Wenli's room, then turned to call Qin Xiaoqin: "Let's go, it's almost time, the car will be here soon..."
Qin Xiaoqin glanced at her mother, moved her lips a few times, and finally turned around and followed her husband away.
Hu Yufeng followed them out of the yard, watched the two figures gradually walk away, lowered her head and turned around silently.
In the west room, Qin Wenli was lying on the kang in a daze, his eyes blank and lifeless.
Yang Xiu sat on the edge of the kang and tied up the last tuft of Qin Yu's hair. She poked him and pointed at Qin Wenli.
Qin Yu understood, moved to Qin Wenli's head, lowered his head to his father's face, and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, okay? I will be obedient, and Dad will not be angry, okay?"
Qin Wenli stroked his daughter's head, his heart softening, "Okay, Daddy is not angry anymore..."
"Let's play together, okay Dad?"
Qin Wenli sighed and sat up, "You play with Shushu first, Dad will play with you later."
Yang Xiu looked at him and pointed outside: "Let's go..."
Qin Wenli looked indifferent.
"Okay, don't think about it. She is just like that. I will just treat it as being bitten by a dog..." Yang Xiu said self-deprecatingly.
"I'm angry at myself... You wouldn't understand even if I told you, and you still think I think too much..."
"Be patient... wait for me..." He patted his wife's shoulder, his voice low, as if he was talking to himself.
Yang Xiu didn't hear clearly. She turned sideways and covered her son with a blanket. "Look after Shushu. Tell him to pee when he wakes up. I'll go clean up the meat."
Then he lifted the door curtain and went out.
Only Hu Yufeng was busy in the kitchen.
Yang Xiu saw that her face was gloomy and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood, so the old lady had already hidden far away.
It's always like this, she's always the one who gets into trouble.
Yang Xiu felt sad and asked tentatively, "Mom, should these things hanging up be pickled?"
Every second seemed like an age... Yang Xiu counted to 8, and Hu Yufeng spoke, just one word: Hmm.
Yang Xiu started to work as if he had received an imperial decree.
She even took the time to call out to the old lady at the door, saying that she had hidden for long enough and could not bear this atmosphere alone.
The old lady walked into the kitchen with her head hung and trembling. She couldn't help laughing when she saw her granddaughter-in-law winking at her.
He turned around and looked at his wife's expressionless face, then quickly put away his smile and pretended to be busy.
Hu Yufeng turned a blind eye to the quarrel between the two of them and kept her gloomy face.
The kitchen was silent for a moment.
The three of them were like emotionless meat-cutting machines, taking one piece at a time, cutting and smearing.
In this kind of atmosphere, efficiency is still very high. The hanging pork is smeared with seasoning and pressed, and the people making the臊子 also cut two pots of it.
"Tell Wen Xiali to give these two pieces of meat to your aunt..." Hu Yufeng finally spoke.
"Okay, Mom." Yang Xiu stood up quickly as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Qin Wenli arrived soon. Hu Yufeng pointed at two pieces of meat that were about the same size and said, "One recipe for each of the two families. Bring it to the kitchen. There are still a few pieces left..."
Qin Wenli nodded, took the basin and went out, with Qin Yu following closely behind him.
Qin Shu woke up and cried loudly. Yang Xiu hurried to coax him to pee, but Qin Yu came over and called her "grandma".
Yang Xiu handed the child to the old lady, and followed Hu Yufeng's instructions with Qin Wenli.
"Keep these two front legs for your aunt and uncle." One of them is a bachelor, and the other has a son-in-law who lives with the family. Both of them live in Sancha Township.
As for Hu Yuxiang, give her nothing! ! !
"This front leg is for Xiu'er's parents." Yang Xiu waved his hands hurriedly, but Hu Yufeng ignored him.
"The remaining hind leg..." Hu Yufeng looked up at Qin Wenli and said, "Send it to your parents..."
Qin Wenli looked stunned.
Hu Yufeng pointed at the three pieces of meat and said, "These three pieces are for your three brothers, one piece for each of them."
Qin Wenli said sullenly: "I won't send you off. We don't interact that much..."
Hu Yufeng looked at him calmly: "Are you blaming me? I didn't let you get along with your parents..."
Qin Wenli said stubbornly: "I don't blame anyone. We didn't keep in touch with each other. What's the point of sending them a gift? If you can't finish them, just sell them!"
Hu Yufeng said firmly: "You can blame me or not, the meat has been cut, I will send it to you if I ask you to."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
