Chapter 201 201. Mother and son upstairs
At eight o'clock it was completely dark, and Uncle Grass Carp acted like a thief. He carried an ordinary-looking plastic bag, took out a bag of spring onions from the trunk, and returned home happily.
The wife at home was watching TV on the sofa. While changing his shoes, he asked: "Is there still food?"
While saying this, I was still feeling regretful: It’s already evening, what can you do if you let him have dinner? It’s not like they don’t give money.
This boss is too stubborn!
However, after changing his shoes, he pretended to stuff the tea leaves into the refrigerator casually, planning to offer the green onions as a treasure!
At this point, I felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Turning his head at this moment, he saw his wife's dark eyes staring at him: "Hey, you still know that you are back, why don't you go out to eat and drink spicy food?"
As the reflex nerves in his brain jumped, he subconsciously became cautious, thinking carefully, avoiding the important and taking the easy:
“The food outside doesn’t taste good... Hey, look at the farmhouse I went to today. The vegetables grown in their fields are very good. Just these spring onions, you don’t even know the price?”
“I know you love scrambled eggs with chives, so I bought two kilograms of them...”
The daughter-in-law snorted coldly: "Thank you for remembering me, but do you remember that you have a daughter who is in confinement and is waiting for her dear father to come back from catching two more crucian carps?"
It’s over.
Uncle Grass Carp stood there stunned.
Yes, he remembered it.
It seems that my wife has just returned home after taking care of her daughter.
But the problem is—
He said: "I didn't catch anything today."
I admit that the Air Force is really shameful.
And he really forgot about this, otherwise the boss would be able to get a bunch of fish just by going down to the cage. Wouldn't it be appropriate to buy a few and bring them back?
but…
“Didn’t I catch a few fish the day before yesterday?”
"What?" the daughter-in-law snorted coldly: "You are a father and you have caught a few fish for your daughter with your own hands. We have to be grateful."
“It doesn’t matter when it is, you still go out fishing every day! When fishing, why don’t you catch yourself? You don’t even know how to help when your daughter is in confinement.”
Uncle Grass Carp has his head full of lawsuits.
Helping someone?
Can anyone help me?
The son-in-law's family is average. The young couple live in a house of 80 square meters, and the parents-in-law squeeze in to take care of the confinement child.
It's okay to take care of her as a mother, but if he squeezes in again, my dear, there will be no room in the house.
He was sultry, but actually he was holding his breath:
“Didn’t I pay for it...”
The confinement center originally booked for my daughter was 30,000 yuan a month. As a result, the young couple didn't know how to discuss it when they went back, so they ran over and refunded the money...
Uncle Grass Carp couldn't tell whether the anger in his heart was directed at his son-in-law or his silly daughter. There was a reason why he deliberately didn't think about it at the moment.
But a mother always feels sorry for her daughter.
The whole family was piled in the house, and the confinement sister-in-law was not willing to invite her. She was suffocating when she went to wait for the whole day. Now she heard him muttering, and her whole body exploded:
“Tell me about you! Apart from fishing every day, what else is on your mind? What else do you want in this home? Just live by the river.”
Turning his head to look at the large bundle of green onions in the plastic bag he was carrying, he pointed at the door angrily: "Throw away your vegetables, who cares?"
I am angry, what do you think my wife should do?
Uncle is quite experienced.
But looking at the pocket of shallots in my hand, I really couldn’t bear to part with it.
He paused for a moment, then silently opened the door.
As soon as he went out, he happened to see the resident upstairs carrying a plastic bag and preparing to go upstairs. He quickly greeted him and finally reluctantly handed over the handful of green onions -
“Xiao Feng, I was given two handfuls of green onions when I went to the countryside. Your sister-in-law didn’t have time to cook them, so it would be a pity to throw them away. You can take them back for cooking.”
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but add: "These green onions are really good." The young woman named Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said sheepishly: "How embarrassing is this?"
“Take it, take it.”
Uncle Grass Carp had a sad face. He stuffed the plastic bag into her hand and closed the door again.
I regretted it again after closing the door, but at this moment I only dared to whisper: "Give it to Xiao Feng upstairs."
My daughter-in-law is not one to waste food. She was so angry just now. Who would have thought that this stupid man would actually send the food away.
At this moment, I was relieved when I heard that the food was given to Xiao Feng.
“Here, Xiao Feng is having a hard time, so if you can help, please help.”
Slowly I became calm again.
Actually, Uncle Grass Carp has some family background, and the community he lives in is not bad. But this community is quite old. There is no elevator on the seventh floor and there is a small attic.
What does the small attic look like?
The whole triangle.
The highest point is 4.5 meters, and the lowest point is only 1.2 meters. There is not much room to stand upright in the entire attic.
This house was originally used as a free area on the sixth floor, but because it was too useless, many families reorganized and rented it out.
The building they own is rented to Xiao Feng—
A single mother with an eight-year-old son.
Xiao Feng is not highly educated and shy. He sets up a stall selling steamed buns in front of the school every morning.
There are no secrets in residential buildings.
She has just moved here less than a week ago, and everyone knows the basic situation.
In the past, you could make some money by setting up a stall, but the problem is that primary school management is becoming more and more strict now, and parents do not dare to let their children eat these easily.
Plus she has a child, school, family, and work to support her, and life is really not easy.
Now that the food was given to her, the couple felt relieved for some reason.
Finally it’s not a waste.
Outside the door, Xiao Feng was holding a bag of watery green onions, but he was only happy in his heart.
●Onions are very expensive now!
A small handful costs five yuan at the vegetable market. When she came back from outside, she went to the supermarket to buy discounted vegetables.
The ingredients used in our buns are pretty good, but children can’t eat buns every day. Therefore, if you want to improve your food, you have to take advantage of the supermarket’s night sales.
But now she had fresh green onions. When she opened the door and saw her son sitting in the living room doing homework, she couldn't help but become a mess again.
“Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat tonight?”
She is in the food business, and she is still setting up a stall when the students are out of school. After the students leave, she has to move to another neighborhood to continue setting up the stall. The child just eats a steamed bun to cushion the meal. Dinner is always late.
Xuanxuan turned around and saw the juicy green onions at first sight, so he opened his mouth and said, "Mom, can we have scallion rice tonight?"
Xiao Feng was stunned: "Eating this at night is not nutritious."
However, Xuanxuan pursed his lips and looked at her expectantly: "I want to eat it, but I haven't eaten it for a long time. Besides, mom, this green onion is so fresh. If you don't eat it tonight, it won't be so fresh tomorrow."
Xiao Feng originally wanted to say that green onions can be added.
But after thinking about it, she finally smiled: "Then I'll add another egg to you."
“Two, one for each of us.”
Good night.
