C42 (2/2)
If things continued like this, wouldn't it mean that this grandpa had caused the death of his own mother?
Xiao Dayong's face turned pale in an instant!
Xu Hui saw that Xiao Da Yong's expression did not look good and quickly reached out to hold Xiao Da Yong's hand. Xu Hui's warm hand was like a lifesaver as she rescued Xiao Da Yong from the brink of collapse. He held Xu Hui's hand tightly, pursing his lower lip until it was a little white.
Zhang Shi saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said, ”Da Yong, you don't dare to think too much. When your mother was sick, you spent a lot of money treating her. Your mother left because her body couldn't handle it.”
But no matter what, his mother left so early, and he couldn't get rid of this relationship with her mother's decision. He hated her, but at that time, he was too young, and didn't understand anything, so he thought that it would be better if he could help the mother in the army to clear her heart.
He looked at Xiao He and Zhang Shi, pursed his lips and said: ”I'm not too clear about the past. Thank you Second Uncle and Second Aunt, if not, I will always be a fool, I hope Second Uncle won't be so foolish in the future. Our family, haha, will always take care of himself!” That desolate laughter, made Xiao He and Lady Zhang's hearts hurt a little.
Xiao Xiuer could not even raise her head, she felt that she did not have the face to sit here. Listening to what her mother said just now, the house and cows were all taken care of by her uncle and her mother when they were still young.
But what about grandpa's mother? What did she do to her uncle and aunt?
When Xiao Xiuer thought of the past, even though she knew that Niu Niu was hungry, she didn't dare to take out food for her to eat. However, she didn't dare to tell Dahuang-ge how Niu Niu lived when he was not around.
Seeing that Xiao Xiuer was crying, Niu Niu immediately asked, ”Big Sis, why are you crying?”
Everyone looked at Xiao Xiuer, and Xiao Xiuer wiped away her tears and said, ”Niuniu, Big Sis is sorry, I feel bad. You were so hungry when you were young, I didn't dare to make you food.
Xiao Da Yong's eyes were red. Xu Hui hurriedly took out a handkerchief and dried Xiao Xiuer's tears, stroking her back and said: ”Silly girl, with the situation at home, it's already good enough that you can take care of yourself. Niuniu said before, if it wasn't for you guys taking care of her privately, how could she have grown up like this?”
Niuniu also hurriedly said, ”I remember big sister Hua'er secretly gave me a biscuit, and second aunt also gave me cotton clothes to wear!” It was also because of this that Niu Niu was so attached to Xiao Huaer after the relationship between the two families had changed.
Xu Hui smiled and said, ”Second Uncle and second aunt, quickly, don't be like this. Thank you second uncle and second aunt for telling us all about this today. Although we shouldn't discuss seniors, we must think of a way to live a good life like third uncle and grandpa!”
The crowd looked at each other, and their hearts felt closer than before. The discomfort in Xiao Da Yong's heart lessened a bit, no matter what, he now had a wife and sister, so as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to live a good life.
However, he would never be like before with this grandpa's milk.
After talking for half a day, it was getting late. Xiao He, Zhang Shi and the rest were no longer in the mood to rush to their rooms, so Xu Hui suggested that they stay for dinner.
Because Xiao Da Yong and Xiao He were drinking together, Xu Hui fried a plate of peanuts and sliced a plate of cured meat, but did not eat much.
Dinner was personally cooked by Xu Hui. She believed that when she was in a bad mood, she should eat something good to eat. Of course, every foodie would probably think the same way. In short, Xiao Dayong felt quite uncomfortable. Eating something good would make him feel better. With this mentality, Xu Hui did not hesitate to spend a lot of money preparing to cook some porridge and vermicelli.
Powder was a rarity here. After all, sweet potatoes were not even five years old yet, and it was said that there weren't many in the south yet. These shreds were specially bought by Xu Hui from Wang Daniu's father in Python County, so they were prepared to be eaten only after the new year, hence she took them out to have a fresh meal today.
Since there were so many people, Xu Hui took a whole dish of pickled vegetables from the pickled vegetables jar and washed them clean. The job of slicing the shredded vegetables was done by the Zhang family, and after cooking for almost twenty years, her cutting skills were much better than Xu Hui's. Unlike the previous days, when she cooked in Xu Hui's kitchen, Mrs Zhang felt that it was extraordinarily easy to cook. The pickled vegetables she sliced out were especially thin and even.
Xu Hui took out a piece of streaky pork and let Zhang family cut it into pieces. When Zhang family saw the whole piece of streaky pork that weighed more than one catty, they could not help but ask Xu Hui in shock, ”Dazong's daughter-in-law, did you cut all of it?”
”It's all cut, let's have a good meal today!”
”Sigh, alright!”
