Chapter 73 What’s wrong with rural people?
After Mi Xia finished, Third Aunt, Qian Ailing, and Wang Fen each ordered a few of their specialties.
From time to time, laughter could be heard from the kitchen and outside the living room.
Soon, several women set the table for the food, one table for the men and one table for the women.
The old man looked at the dishes on the table, the aroma went straight into his nose, he didn't want to drink the wine anymore, and didn't care about what his children and grandchildren were saying, he just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The women were also at the table. They had seen Mi Xia's cooking skills in the kitchen, and now they wanted to see how these exquisitely presented dishes tasted.
Who knew that once he started eating, he couldn't stop, and the room was filled with the sound of chewing.
In the end, all the dishes cooked by Mi Xia were eaten up, and the leftovers were cooked by Wang Fen and the others, but they were not angry.
I really admire Mi Xia.
"Xiao Xia, you must teach me your cooking skills. After I eat your food, I don't want to eat my own food anymore."
Mrs. Liu touched her bulging belly and said, I don't know who this little girl learned the skill from, she is such a good cook at such a young age.
"Okay, if Third Aunt wants to learn, just come to me and I will teach you everything I know." Mi Xia said generously.
Anyway, she taught Auntie San just as she usually did. As for the spiritual spring water, she had no idea what to do.
After dinner, Mi Xia took Liu Wanwan back to her room to sleep. The old man's house was bigger, so everyone stayed there.
The whole family also stays up together to celebrate the New Year. They only get together during the Chinese New Year. Usually, they are all busy or have no time.
After Mi Xia accompanied her daughter into the room, she did not come out. After coaxing the little girl to sleep, she went into the space, preparing to open a small jewelry store or supermarket after the New Year.
At night, everyone stayed up in the living room and talked about what happened in the past year. Finally, the old man couldn't stand it anymore due to his old age and went to bed.
Mi Xia also took Liu Wanwan to bed early.
The next morning, the little girl went to pay New Year's greetings to each of her elders and received a lot of New Year's money. The old man teased her, "Wanwan, are you going to use your New Year's money to buy wine for Grandpa?"
Liu Wanwan said without even thinking, "Grandpa gave it to you, all of it is yours."
The little girl's reaction made the old man love her so much that he held her and wouldn't let go. Uncle Liu looked at Liu Liang, meaning that he wanted him to give birth to a granddaughter as soon as possible.
Liu Liang felt embarrassed when Uncle Liu looked at him. He also wanted a daughter, but he couldn't control whether the baby was a boy or a girl.
Today, many people came to visit the old man. There were peanuts, melon seeds, sugar and tea on the table, but no one came to eat.
Liu Baoguo and Uncle Liu stayed in the living room, while Wang Fen and Aunt Liu went shopping with their daughter and wife. There was a constant stream of people visiting every year.
Wang Fen and Aunt Liu were used to it, and they handled the relationship between the sisters-in-law very well. The main reason was that they were not short of money and were wives of officials.
Even if there is a conflict, you should not curse like a shrew.
Wang Fen and Aunt Liu took a group of people to Xidan Shopping Mall. It snowed heavily in Kyoto in winter that year, and the children were all wearing thick clothes.
Mi Xia was wearing a simple down jacket. She gave one to Liu Baoguo and everyone in her aunt's family.
Mi Xia and Liu Wanwan were wearing warm shirts underneath, so they didn't take it out, so they didn't give it to them.
Even with a simple down jacket, many people on the street looked at them.
"This dress is so beautiful. I wonder where to buy it? I want to buy one too." said a stylishly dressed little girl who was traveling with her.
"Yeah, I want one too. I'll go home and ask my mom to buy one for me."
Mi Xia felt that the supermarket had to speed up its pace, but things had to be done one by one, and it was impossible to set up such a large stall in one go.
"Aunt."
Hearing the voice, Mi Xia turned around and looked at the girl who was calling people. She was a 16.7-year-old girl with fair and delicate skin and a pretty face.
Just as Wang Fen was about to ask Mi Xia to introduce her, the little girl pointed at her and held Liu Wanwan's hand and asked, "Who is she?"
"This is my granddaughter." Wang Fen said with a smile.
"Oh~ Is she the rural wife of my cousin who gave birth to a child?" Li Guifang blurted out.
Mi Xia's face instantly turned cold, "What's wrong with the country people?"
Li Guifang said proudly, "My mother said that rural people are very dirty and smelly, and asked me to stay away from them."
As he spoke, he took a step back and deliberately fanned his nose with his hands.
Mi Xia smiled and said, "Farmers are dirty and smelly, so why do you eat the food they grow? The house you live in was also built by farmers, and the cotton used in the clothes you wear is also grown in the countryside."
"If you have the ability, don't eat the food or wear the clothes."
If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, Wang Fen would have wanted to applaud Mi Xia.
Li Guifang hated Mi Xia so much at this moment that she wanted to strangle her to death.
She didn't want to think that if she wasn't the one who started the trouble, would Mi Xia let her be said like this?
“Aunt, look why your daughter-in-law is so fierce. I just said something casually, she...she..." Li Guifang looked at Wang Fen and said coquettishly.
"Is this how your mother taught you? I want to go back and talk to the old man about how her good daughter taught her." Wang Fen said with a cold face.
The person Li Guifang fears the most is her grandfather. Every time she goes to her grandfather's house, she tries to hide if possible, and if she can't hide, she tries to reduce her presence.
Li Guifang's mother is the old man's youngest daughter, named Liu Shumin. The name sounds quite ladylike, but she herself doesn't look exactly like him, which is completely unrelated.
When she was 18, she insisted on marrying Li Guifang's father, Li Yimin. His father was an employee of a slaughterhouse and supported his family alone.
So the living conditions were not good, but Li Yimin's appearance in his previous life would have made him a handsome boy. It's not that people in later generations like handsome guys, but people in the 1970s started to look at faces.
In addition, Li Yimin was good at talking, and Liu Shumin was bewitched by him. She insisted on marrying him and even went to his house.
It was at this time that the old man learned about Li Yimin, so he began to investigate his family situation.
After investigation, I found out that he has a brother who is already married, and a sister who responded to the country's call and returned to the countryside.
It can be said that my grandparents, nephews and nieces all live in a 70-square-meter house.
He relied on his good looks and met Liu Shumin through some unknown channel, which led to all these things.
His father was a domestic abuser, so his mother instigated his older brother to beat his wife.
But she said that the family was in chaos all day long, with constant quarrels over trivial matters. The old man was afraid that his daughter would suffer if she married into the family, so he refused to agree to anything.
The old man thought of countless ways to deal with this matter. He tried to reason with Liu Shumin but it didn't work. He locked her up and she refused to eat or drink.
Finally, the old man had no choice but to release Liu Shufen as he didn't really want to starve her to death.
She agreed that even if she suffered after marriage she would not be allowed to go home, and she should not expect anyone in her family to help her.
Liu Shumin didn't care about these, she believed that Li Yimin would treat her well.
After the old man agreed, she happily ran to find Li Yimin. At first, Liu Shumin did have a good life, but it didn't last long.
