Chapter 924 (1/2)
Soldiers in the barracks have two days off every month, even new recruits. Li Er Pao's holiday is just at the end of the month.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw aunt Jia coming out of the house with her children on her back. When Aunt Jia saw her husband, she couldn't help but smile: ”I'm back.”
Li Er Pao nodded with a smile, ”he's back.” With that, he went forward and took the child off aunt Jia's back and held it in his arms.
Before, several brothers of Li Er Pao knew that Aunt Jia was going to send her to his mother's house. They all advised Li Er Pao not to let aunt Jia send her. They sent someone else to send her. They were afraid that Aunt Jia would never return. After all, they all heard that Aunt Dawa was working in the government's house and had a wonderful life. In case aunt Jia doesn't come back from staying in Weicheng, she will be beaten up. Li Er Pao didn't listen to their brothers, but he asked aunt Jia to send Hua Ge'er back in person.
With a smile on her face, aunt Jia said, ”there are still some noodles at home. I'll make noodles for you.” During this period, aunt Jia gave her son rice paste or pimples every day, or made some brown sugar water for him to drink. The child looked much better than before.
Li Er Pao bumped his son and felt a lot of fat: ”this side is reserved for you and your children to eat. Just cook some potato for me.” In the barracks, they all eat potato. People who have just experienced hunger are satisfied with what they eat.
”It's not every day,” said Aunt Jia. ”You take me to make noodles.” Now that the family has some money, it's natural to make some delicious food for her husband.
Li Er Pao looked at a large basin of noodles and two dishes on the table. Although they were just stir fried potatoes and tofu, they were already very rich. Li Er Pao couldn't help asking, ”so many noodles need at least two Jin.” He looked distressed. This bowl of noodles cost at least 60 or 70 Wen.
Aunt Jia said with a smile, ”this time, I have to eat potato tomorrow. Eat it quickly. If you don't eat it again, it will burn. ” With that, Li Er Pao got a full bowl of noodles.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the sound, aunt Jia immediately brought the basin into the room and covered it with something, then put something else on it.
After that, aunt Jia opened her mouth and said, ”when those two children of Huihu family come, you can't let them out.” On weekdays, aunt Jia herself is not willing to eat noodles, only for her son. This time, my husband was also distressed, so I made such a bowl of noodles by biting my teeth.
Li Er Pao thought that Aunt Jia was stingy, but aunt Jia really loved her husband and didn't know what to say.
Hu brought two children into the house and said with a smile: ”I know you're back, I'll bring two children to see you.” It's a bit disappointing to see only shredded potatoes and tofu on the table. After four months of drought, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and pigs have all died. Now the price of meat, even if aunt Jia has some money in her hand, she is reluctant to buy it. So the shredded potatoes and tofu are stir fried. There is no oil star.
As soon as the two children entered the room, they looked directly at the noodles in Li Er Pao's hand. Li Er Pao couldn't bear it. Just when he wanted to ask the two children to bring the bowl, he saw aunt Jia bring a bowl of cooked potato.
Aunt Jia put the taro on the table, skinned it again and again and said with a smile, ”sister-in-law, why do you bring your nephew here so late?” After that, aunt Jia looked at Li Er Pao and said, ”why don't you stop eating? If you don't, please give me something to eat!” Then she pushed the potato to Li Er Pao and brought the noodles.
The two children watched aunt Jia slurping noodles and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
A bowl of noodles. It's going to bottom soon.
Li Er Pao thought his wife's behavior was abnormal today, and asked sister Hu, ”sister in law, what's the matter with coming so late?” It's not a short time for Aunt Jia to make noodles. It's already dark.
”Aunt Jia's skin said with a smile:” this question, just sister-in-law did not say, specially came to see you If this word lets the outsider hear, still thought that Hu sister-in-law and Li Er Pao have what not see person's matter!
No matter how cheeky sister-in-law Hu is, she can't stay any longer. She takes her two sons back home with a potato in their hands.
Li Er Pao frowned and said, ”two children and his mother, can you just say that casually?” It's going to be heard by brother Hu. There's going to be a rift between the two brothers.
Aunt Jia snorted coldly: ”who would go to another house to see the man who just came home? I have two children with me, or I will sweep her out with a broom. ” In fact, aunt Jia knows that sister hu wants to take advantage, but Li Er Pao is poor and generous, so she can only express her dissatisfaction in this way.
When Li Er Pao heard this, he began to laugh. He said that her mother was not so mean, but jealous.
After aunt Jia bolted the door, she brought the noodles out again. In a place like this in the country, there is no rule of not speaking, not eating, not sleeping. Aunt Jia said, ”don't blame me for being stingy. I'm not willing to give those two children this noodles. You don't know. During this period, every time I arrive at the dinner point, two children will come here. ” Because of her stingy nature, Mrs. Hu saved some money when she was in the stronghold. Even now, her family is also the richest of a group of people, so she always wants to take advantage of others. Aunt Jia is not a bun. How can she help others raise children.
Li Er Pao is also uncomfortable, but he is a big man who is not good at saying a woman's right and wrong: ”no matter what, we can't do too much in the face of brother Hu. This time it's over. Next time it's up to us to decide not to do it again. ” Mrs Hu's husband is a very good person. This time aunt Jia went to pick city and had no silver. Mrs Hu's husband took the initiative to borrow two liang of silver.
