Chapter 66 Swollen nose and face
"Okay, grandma don't cry, don't cry!" Li Xiuying wiped Bai Ruxue's tears with her callused hands, "Xiaoxue doesn't cry either!"
"Grandma, it's New Year's Eve, where did little uncle and grandpa go?" Bai Ruxue wanted to put down her things and go back, but seeing grandma's hesitant to speak, nothing will happen, right?
"They're going to your uncle's house!" Li Xiuying finally said, "Your cousin ran up early in the morning and said it was... that your uncle and aunt got into a fight, and they went before they had time to eat! It's already morning and you won't be back!"
I said yes, but my face was full of embarrassment. After all, my granddaughter hadn’t come for a few years, and this kind of thing happened to me as soon as she came.
Bai Ruxue was very surprised, because the eldest uncle always listened to his wife, even if his wife bullied his sister, and bullied his parents, he never came forward to stop him, so why would he fight with his wife? And it's New Year's Eve.
"Grandma, have you not eaten yet?" Bai Ruxue asked, looking at Li Xiuying who looked sad when she mentioned the elder son's family.
"Grandma has prepared the meal and is waiting for your grandpa and uncle to come back to eat together! This winter, grandma has caught a cold and has never recovered. Now she coughs endlessly, and I can't go to see it. I don't know why. What happened again!"
"I brought you some food, then I'll put it in the kitchen!" Bai Ruxue said as she was about to take the sack out.
Zhang Yuan quickly helped to lift it up, and the two of them left the house.
As soon as Bai Ruxue came to the kitchen, she opened the big iron pot, saw the sauerkraut and corn cakes inside, and her nose was sour. At this time, people with better living conditions can have a good meal, at least they can kill The chicken is stewed, but the pot of sauerkraut in grandma's house doesn't look like much oil or water, so it shouldn't be!
The little uncle is twenty-two years old, and he can earn ten centimeters a day, plus his grandparents can work, and there is no one in the family to eat, how can the three of them live like this?
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?" Seeing Bai Ruxue staring at the food in the pot in a daze, Zhang Yuan asked aloud.
"I want to get some pears and rock sugar for grandma. Stewed pears with rock sugar can suppress coughs!" Bai Ruxue covered the pot, and while speaking, she brought out seven more pears and a catty of rock sugar from the supermarket.
"I know a lot, so quickly put it in the sack! If you don't go in, grandma will be suspicious!" Zhang Yuan reminded.
Bai Ruxue quickly put the things into the sack, and then tied the bag again.
The two returned to the Westinghouse and found that grandma was putting on her shoes on the ground.
"What's the matter, grandma?" Bai Ruxue stepped forward and asked.
"Xiaoxue! Sit with Xiaoyuan for a while, and grandma will pack firewood and bring you hot meals!" Li Xiuying touched Bai Ruxue's cheek lovingly, "My precious granddaughter hasn't been to grandma's house for several years, so I have to Have a meal!"
"Grandma! We just came over after the New Year's Eve dinner, don't be so busy, you have to take out the dumplings I sent and freeze them, otherwise they will melt in a while." Bai Ruxue reminded.
"Ah... why did you send dumplings? There are good things for you children to eat! Eat more for your mother! Why did you send them to grandma? Take them back when you go back!" Li Xiuying didn't pay much attention just now, Zhang Yuan mentioned She looked relaxed wearing the sack, she thought it was just dried vegetables or something like that. Wan never thought it would be dumplings.
"Grandma, there are still some at home. Those are for you and grandpa. They are my mother's wish. You can't let them go! Otherwise, my mother should think that you don't forgive her for neglecting her all these years!"
"This kid, the little mouth can really talk..."
"Grandma, I brought you some pears and rock candy. You are coughing. Stew some pears with rock candy to drink. It will help your cough! I will take you to the health center after the Chinese New Year!" Bai Ru Xue knew that it was too coincidental that she took out the pear and rock candy now, but she couldn't wait, because grandma had a bad cough.
"Son, is life so easy for your family? Or did your mother deliberately..." Li Xiuying was a little skeptical, she had never heard of her daughter's family having such a good time.
"Grandma, to tell you the truth, I found a job in Pingyang Town, and I can earn ten yuan a month. I also got a small yellow croaker by accident and sold it, so life at home is easier, but grandma must keep it secret! "Bai Ruxue knew that if she didn't say that, this grandma would not accept the things she sent with peace of mind, and she was thinking of their grandpa and grandpa wholeheartedly. This excuse is acceptable, so she told the story again. over again.
"Ah... child, is this true?" Li Xiuying asked in shock.
"Of course it's true! Grandma, hurry up and take the dumplings and meat outside to freeze! It's not good for the dumplings to melt!" Bai Ruxue pushed the person out.
When Li Xiuying saw the things in the sack, she kept nagging again, insisting on letting Bai Ruxue take half of them back.
"Grandma, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in a few days!" Bai Ruxue helped to see and put away the things and said goodbye.
I didn’t see my grandpa this time, but it’s okay, her mother has let go, and there will be opportunities to come here in the future, and it’s not far from home.
"Okay! Ride slowly on the road!" Li Xiuying sent the two of them out.
Bai Ruxue and Zhang Yuan were about to ride away when a woman with disheveled hair ran into her face, her face was full of tears, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.
Bai Ruxue didn't recognize it for a while, and turned to look at grandma who hadn't had time to enter the house.
"Mom... help! Your son is going to kill me!" The woman howled loudly when she saw the old lady standing at the door, regardless of whether Bai Ruxue and Zhang Yuan were still in the yard.
"Oh, Minghua! Why are you fighting again? Where are your father and Yongsheng? Why didn't you stop Junsheng?" Li Xiuying said anxiously.
Bai Ruxue finally recognized that this was her aunt, because her name was Wang Junsheng, and she still remembered her name as Feng Minghua.
"It's not because Junsheng is stingy, he can't stand my younger brother coming to the house for a meal, and quarrels with me..." The eldest aunt Feng Minghua rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, you have to make decisions for me, otherwise this day will be impossible. Passed, can't pass!"
Bai Ruxue looked at grandma, whether she is going or not.
Li Xiuying also looked at Bai Ruxue, and waved her hand, meaning let her go back now, don't worry about it.
But Feng Minghua seemed to have noticed the existence of the two people only now, and turned to look at Bai Ruxue.
"Who are you?" Wiping the tears off his face, he asked.
"Auntie, I'm Bai Ruxue!" Bai Ruxue couldn't help but answer.
"Bai Ruxue? Wang Cuihua's eldest daughter? Mom... Didn't the second sister's family stop getting in touch with us a long time ago? What is she doing here for the new year? Is it because she can't make it through and what is she here for?" "As soon as Feng Minghua heard that she was Wang Cuihua's eldest daughter, he forgot what happened just now, and asked Li Xiuying sharply.
"The child came here just to see my wife, what can I get? You are an aunt, this is the Chinese New Year, and you didn't say anything nice when you saw the child. What are you talking about?" Li Xiuying pulled her face and said.
"Isn't that when Cuihua and the others came, and they wanted this or that, did they scare me? Mom, your grandchildren are all hungry! You can't eat anything good during the Chinese New Year, so you can't just focus on it." Grandson! After all, they are all people with different surnames!"
