The old houses are long gone, and the girls have no rooms left after they got married.
There is no place for my aunts to rest at my uncle's house.
Second aunt and third aunt were sleeping on the armchairs in the living room. Lin Lu and Song Chen went over and heard them snoring, so they must be sleeping soundly.
Lin Lu was worried that her uncle would follow her, so she woke up her sleeping aunt without hesitation.
Because she was sleeping so soundly, she woke up after being called several times, and my third aunt who was sleeping with her also woke up.
Second Aunt rubbed her face and said, "What's wrong, Xiaolu?"
Third Aunt also nodded and said, "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."
Lin Lu: "It's okay, Third Aunt, go to sleep."
Then I said to my second aunt, "I bought you some steamed buns. Come eat them quickly. It's still two or three hours before breakfast."
"Why are you wasting money, kid? Just let your aunt eat it." Second aunt took the bag from Lin Lu's hand with a smile.
Although Aunt San was sleepy, she was also hungry. When she heard that there was food, who could still sleep?
"You're only buying this for your second aunt and don't care about my life or death."
Lin Lu: "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Just go to sleep. When you wake up, breakfast should be ready."
Third Aunt: "I can't argue with you educated people, Second Brother, give me two, don't keep them all for yourself."
Second Aunt gave her one and asked Lin Lu, "Have your parents eaten yet?"
Before Lin Lu replied, her third aunt said, "Would her own mother not give her food first? Maybe she gave it to us as a leftover."
Lin Lu: Third Aunt, you’ve revealed the truth.
Song Chen: "Second Aunt, you guys eat it. My parents have already eaten. They knew there would be a lot of people, so they bought some extra. There won't be any leftovers."
Second Aunt: "Don't worry about her, she's sick again. Even if there's some left, so what? It's good enough that it's available for you to eat. You're still so picky. Why didn't your daughter bring us any food? There's not even a trace of it."
Auntie Three said stubbornly, "Isn't Xiaolan busy? Do you think everyone is as capable as Lin Lu and his wife?"
This sentence can be considered an indirect compliment.
Lin Lu: "Thank you, Third Auntie. I have to go back to take care of my own business tonight."
Without saying a word, the uncle pushed open the door of the living room and came in. He first stared at Lin Lu's hands, but when he didn't see the target, he locked onto the hands and mouths of his two younger sisters.
"Second sister, I'm almost starving. Please give me a steamed bun to fill my stomach."
There were only five left in the bag. Second aunt and third aunt had each eaten one, so now there were only three left.
Every time one was given away, someone would have one less to eat, but my uncle was quick and before my second aunt could react, the two steamed buns were in his hands.
Seeing this, the second aunt immediately grabbed the last one in her hand, and then it was the third aunt who took away the share.
Auntie Three was furious: "Brother, please leave one for me. How can you be so cruel?"
The third aunt went to grab them, but the eldest uncle turned around and left. He didn't give them to his wife, but swallowed both buns whole.
It's so pitiful and hopeless for my third aunt. She was so selfish when she had no food to eat as a child.
"You are a robber, you are starving. You can just rob one, but you want two. You are so shameless."
She put her hands on her hips and cursed loudly.
Lin Lu, Song Chen and Second Aunt just sat there and watched the show.
Several relatives came over to help, and her uncle stopped her and said, "Isn't it just a steamed bun? Why are you making such a fuss? Are you going to let the whole village know about it? Aren't you ashamed? Besides, you didn't buy it, and you didn't allow me to eat it."
Specious arguments.
Third Aunt was shaking with anger.
Even though it was just a steamed bun, and even though she didn’t buy it.
However, the food that was destined to go into her stomach was taken away just like that. How could she not be angry?
"You bought that. Didn't Lin Lu say she gave it to you to eat? She brought it specifically for me and my second sister. What does it have to do with you? People like you will never get rich."
The brother and sister started quarreling with each other, and everyone was watching a joke. When they were young, they loved quarreling the most, and they still do so now at this age.
Li Xianglian was embarrassed and went to stop them: "Alright, isn't it embarrassing enough? What kind of day is today? You guys are making such a noise that even my mother down there can't rest.
Besides, those steamed buns were bought for me by my daughter, not for you two, so don’t talk about it now.”
Really! She will never come back again! I am so angry!
Lin Lu held her back and patted her back to soothe her.
"Okay, don't be angry. It's not worth getting mad at them both."
Lin Lu had just finished speaking when her aunt came over: "What steamed buns? Who's eating steamed buns?"
Why don't you give her some?
Lin Lu: "My uncle ate two and left none for you."
It will sow discord.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, "Can you please stop arguing? Are you going to piss me off to death?"
Grandpa came out of the room trembling, leaning on a wooden stick.
The old man probably didn't sleep all night, and he looked more and more haggard day by day.
The brothers and sisters didn't dare to speak anymore. They really wanted to piss off their dad to death. Then they would have something to talk about in the future.
It will take several lifetimes to clear myself of this. Whenever people talk about it, they think of the family that angered my father to death.
Lin Lu quickly helped him sit inside. The old man was still angry.
Lin Lu gestured to Song Chen: "Pour grandpa a glass of water."
The older ones stood by and didn't dare to move, while the two younger ones were responsible for comforting the old man.
When he calmed down a bit, Li Xianglian said, "I'll go burn some paper."
Uncle: "The master seems to have called me."
Aunt: "I'll go take a look too."
Third Aunt: "I'm going to burn paper too."
Second Aunt: "Dad, relax. Talk to Xiaolu and the others here. I'll go out and take a look."
Lin Lu and Song Chen chatted with the old man for a while, and then he sent them away, "Go and get busy."
The two of them didn't know what to say, so Lin Lu went to help burn paper, and Song Chen went to cook.
There weren't many people coming at this time. After the table was set up and the food was served, people from the village started to arrive.
Lin Lu and Song Chen still sat at the same table with a few cousins.
I left last night without agreeing to Li Mei, and she didn’t seem to come today.
I heard from Li Yue that she went back to her husband's house last night.
Li Yue also has a gossipy heart.
"I saw the brother and sister arguing, and it was quite fierce. Then she packed up and went home. You don't know how scary her brother looked, as if he wanted to eat people. He also told her to get out, and the sister-in-law didn't try to persuade them, but instead fanned the flames."
Lin Lu: "Ah, is that so? Her brother is quite cruel."
Who can be blamed for this?
Of course, if Li Mei hadn't had this idea at the beginning, her brother would not have lost his job.
However, you have to know that this is just the result after failure. If Song Chen had really accepted and agreed to it at the beginning, and his brother got the benefits, would he not take them? At that time, would he praise his sister for being capable?
Having said so much, it’s just a matter of interests.
These are the inevitable problems that adults always face.
