"You ate this, didn't you? The bowl naturally needs you to wash. "In the future, if mom is not at home, you can also take the initiative to take care of household chores."
"What about you? Nothing at all? "
Chen Mannie spoke very sharply, but Rinperan's voice was still very soft.
"I do it when I'm at home. When you're not at home, you naturally have to help your mother with family matters. "
Chen Mannie was furious, thinking that if Ringpelin wanted to be lazy, then today she would show him who was the true master of the family.
But Ringpelin only said gently that he wanted her to learn how to do housework, which was to help her mother. This was something that Chen Manny could not refuse, and Ringpelin's way of doing things clearly did not allow her to refuse.
So what if he was unwilling?
In the end, he still went to wash the dishes. Although the commotion was a bit big, he still went to wash the dishes.
Ringpelin kept his word and, at a little after one o'clock, cooked sweet potato soup and called for Manny, who was upstairs, to come down and eat.
Chen Manny's sullen expression changed after she finished her meal.
Mother Chen's cooking skills were not good, she could cook it well, but as for the taste, don't hold too much hope. Whatever Lin Pei Lan cooked was considered fresh and tasty in Chen Manny's eyes.
She didn't like people, and their craftsmanship was very fitting.
The first day at home, the two of them barely made it through.
At dusk, Ringpelin had mended the two weedy flower beds in the yard with a rusty spade.
"I can't tell. Not only do you know how to farm, but you also know how to plant flowers."
Chen Manyi who had nothing better to do stood outside the door, watching Lin Peilan busy himself from beginning to end before she opened her mouth.
"You're half right, I only know how to plant land, not flowers."
Without the slightest bit of guilt, she scattered the cabbage seeds she had bought earlier onto the flower bed on the left. The one on the right had a few scallions and a handful of hollow vegetables. It had just rained a few days ago, so the soil was still moist and didn't need to be watered.
"Just these tasteless things."
Chen Mannie had been enjoying the view and thought her yard had a canopy and a few flower beds, so she put her desk and rocking chair in it and drank tea and read and admired the flowers. It was very poetic, but she didn't expect to fall into this woman's cliché again.
"The flowers are beautiful, but I can't grow them without their seedlings. This dish can be bought at any time and can be served as a dish in half a month's time. I don't think it's much worse than that flower. "
"Vulgar!"
The little girl who did not worry about food or drink, the things she had seen were all beautiful, and Ringpelin did not argue with her, nor did he bother with her.
In the countryside, there were still many people who had trouble eating. If a dried melon could be cooked into porridge and ate half full, then they would have to thank the heavens. It was not that they were vulgar and came back alive.
The dinner prepared by Ringperan was a bit more sumptuous. In the morning, when her father said he would be back for dinner, she stewed a pot of rice, made a cold mixed dish of cabbage, an eggplant with green pepper, an egg soup with a silk melon, and a sliced cucumber.
The head of the hollow vegetables had been used by her to grow. In any case, the old ones couldn't be eaten, while the tender ones on the top could be used to boil water and cool mix. It wasn't a waste at all.
The reason why he didn't dig up the garden when Chen was at home was also because of Lin Peran's selfishness.
Chen Jianguo was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He looked like a refined intellectual. If his body was covered with dirt, he would probably feel displeased.
It was one thing to know that he had married a village girl, another to see her digging in the mud.
Dinner was ready, Chen and Chen were not back yet, but the courtyard welcomed the first neighbor that Lin Pailan had seen in the past few days.
"Aiyo!" "Aunt Chen, yesterday I heard from Hongxia that your family had made a nice awning, I didn't expect it to be true!"
A round-faced woman was holding a two year old child in her hands. Her arm strength was not small and she was even holding an enamel jar. From time to time, she would feed the child a mouthful of porridge.
Rembrandt didn't know who the woman was, but he smiled and welcomed her into the room.
"Come in and take a seat!"
"Is Aunt not at home? Are you a nation-building wife? "He's really handsome."
The woman looked Rembrandt up and down, and without being polite, she put the child under the awning, where Rembrandt had swept the rubble and garbage, but she didn't care about the dust.
"My home is next door to yours. I'm called Chun Mei Fu's family name is Wang. You can call me Sister Wang's wife, Chun Mei."
"Sister-in-law Wang, come sit inside. This place is dirty, don't dirty our child's feet." Rinperan could not bear to see this.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! We're all from the countryside, and the mud is no cleaner than this, you know, those kids, which one of us didn't grow up barefoot in the mud? "
It was true that he had grown up stepping on mud, but he couldn't let a toddler who had just learned how to walk step on the dusty ground with his bare feet! How tender the foot was.
Sister Wang's words weren't as good as those from the countryside, but the way she said it made people feel bad.
Unable to dissuade her, Ringpelin went back to the room and brought a chair for Sister Wang to sit in.
"Good boy, hurry up and eat." Otherwise, I won't bring you over to play with my aunt next time. "
"I'll pay you to eat …"
Ringpelin saw that the enamel jar was just plain porridge, not even a little vegetable paste or egg. The child ate for a long time without swallowing, but kept on turning his head to avoid it.
"Sister Wang, has Hu Zi not started to eat yet?" Ringpelin could not help but ask.
"What do you want for such good rice porridge?" "It's delicious like this."
The porridge was delicious, but the children would not take a bite without the help of some vegetables. Lin Peilan did not agree with the neighbor who had just met her.
But this was someone else's child, so she didn't feel like saying anything.
After a while, the child refused to eat again. Sister Wang also became furious, cursing the child for not eating, and at the same time joking with Rinperan. Rinperan didn't know what to do, so he could only awkwardly accompany her.
Why was he so angry? He could laugh just by turning his face, and he did not care about the children still shouting on the ground. It was truly inconceivable.
So the next time Wang's sister-in-law came to know her, she didn't think of herself as an outsider. The child was not eating and crying, and she didn't even try to coax her into doing so, regardless of the fact that they were in someone else's house. She ate a mouthful of rice and turned her head to talk to Ringperan, who wanted to carry the child, but the royal sister-in-law wouldn't let her, saying that the child couldn't be spoiled.
Just when he was having a headache, the bicycle bell rang. Seeing her mother come back, Rinperan let out a sigh of relief.
"Mom, you came home from work!"
"Yes." When she got out of the car, she saw that Sister Wang was also there, so she asked with a smile, "Wang Zhi's family is also here." Why did he make the child cry like this! Hurry up and hug. "
"Children are just stupid. If they don't eat, then they will ruin the food." As she was talking, Sister Wang poured the remaining porridge into her mouth.
