"What's wrong with you? Such a big noise scared all my food away." Xiao Xiangbei quickly picked up a small piece of oil residue on the table, put it in his mouth, and looked at Xiao Xixi dissatisfied.

Xiao Xixi pouted: "Isn't it just a little oil residue? What's so rare? I've never seen it in the world."

Xiao Xiangbei also got angry: "You have seen the world, so don't eat it?" Xiao Xiangbei has long disliked this sister. When she was a child, she was the youngest, so she could do it, but now, she has a family. , there is a family of children at home. She is already an adult of seventeen or eighteen years old, but she is still extremely squeamish. She does not do any work at home, and keeps close to her all the good things. She still dislikes this and that.

Xiao Xixi: "You think I want to eat, even if the food is not delicious, even the bowls and chopsticks are in tatters, and I have no appetite at all."

Xiao Xiangbei: "Humph, it's good if you don't eat, I can eat more!" He continued to pick up vegetables.

Zhou Xinghua, who was next to her, felt that her man was usually very clever, but when he got food, he lost sight of everything.

A few years after she came to the Xiao family, she had already figured out her sister-in-law's temperament. She obviously disliked the shabby dishes and chopsticks, but in fact she was attracted to the things of the third daughter-in-law.

Liu Zhi'er was not as flexible as Zhou Xinghua, and she didn't know much about these eyebrows and lawsuits. She only focused on feeding her son. She felt that it didn't matter if the bowls and chopsticks were shabby, as long as they were usable.

Father Xiao and Brother Xiao did heavy physical work. After a tiring day, they just wanted to go and lie down on the kang to rest after eating. They didn't care about this at all.

Seeing that her complaint did not cause any disturbance, Xiao Xixi immediately said coquettishly to Xiao's mother, "Mom, can our family get some new sets of bowls and chopsticks? The gap on this bowl is so big that every time I eat, Worrying about cutting my mouth."

Shui Lingling's daughter looked at her eagerly. Zhou Aimei felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, and wanted to open her mouth to agree, but thought of having to pay for the four bowls, so she kept her mouth shut.

Glancing at Meng Xiaoman who was drinking porridge from a bowl, he made a calculation in his mind:

"It's from the third family."

Knowing what Xiao Xixi was up to, Meng Xiaoman deliberately didn't answer the call, but she didn't expect to be called out anyway.

The Xiao family's food is unpalatable, but the corn crumb porridge is quite good, but it doesn't taste good after it's cold. Meng Xiaoman drank the last two mouthfuls of porridge slowly and then said sweetly, "Mother."

"My third brother, I asked you to help wash the dishes today, and you only washed four of them. I think you won't be able to keep this good thing in your hands. In order to avoid spoiling things, I will give you your pair of dishes and chopsticks from now on. Sister, use it, you use what you have at home. She uses things to cherish."

Meng Xiaoman: "Mom, I don't have any objection to giving good things to my sister. It's just that I have used them. I'm afraid my sister will dislike them."

"I don't mind it." Xiao Xixi immediately answered.

Meng Xiaoman's bowl has a circle of colorful flower branches on it, which looks very nice. The chopsticks are made of lacquered wood and are smooth and shiny. Unlike the homemade bamboo chopsticks at home, the burrs are not clean. If you are not careful, they will fall apart. My good hand was pricked.

Xiao Xiangdong glanced at his unruly sister with a hint of warning.

When Xiao Xixi saw his eyes, she subconsciously shrank her neck, then as if she thought of something, she stared back and straightened up.

In the past, Xiao Xixi was most afraid of this third brother, but now, he can't even walk. He can't help himself, so there is no need to be afraid of him at all.

Meng Xiaoman replied with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "Sister, you are so kind. Although you don't dislike my sister-in-law, I still have to think about you and kindly remind you that you need to disinfect the bowl of chopsticks before using them."

"What do you mean, from the third family, you don't have any infectious diseases, right?" Zhou Aimei said sharply.

The brigade health clinic has done hygiene propaganda. In the propaganda on preventing infectious diseases, it mentioned disinfecting dishes and chopsticks.

As soon as Zhou Aimei's words came out, everyone at the table looked at Meng Xiaoman in horror, wishing they could stay away from her immediately.

Meng Xiaoman hurriedly explained: "Mom, the doctor said that I have recovered and I am not contagious now." After saying that, he lowered his head with a guilty conscience. For a moment, he looked up again as if he had made up his mind and said firmly: "Really, mom." , I’m really well now, I’m not contagious anymore.”

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiangdong again and begged: "Husband, I am really healed. You have to believe me."

Xiao Xiangdong saw her looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears. Knowing that she was just pretending, Xiao Xiangdong felt a lot softer in his heart. He said softly: "I believe you. I believe Fifth Sister will also believe you."

Meng Xiaoman looked at Xiao Xixi who was hiding behind Zhou Aimei, blinked and asked: "Fifth sister, are you willing to believe sister-in-law?"

"Don't talk. If you infect me, who knows if you are really well or pretending to be well, I don't want your bowls and chopsticks!" Xiao Xixi wished she could stay two feet away from her.

Meng Xiaoman looked at Zhou Aimei with a hurt look on her face: "Mom, look, it's not that I'm reluctant to give it, it's because my sister dislikes it and doesn't want to take it. Mom, if you don't dislike it, can you take it and use it?"

Zhou Aimei hurriedly refused: "It's from the third child's family. This is your personal thing. How can my mother use it? It's better for you to keep it for yourself."

"Oh, okay then." Meng Xiaoman agreed.

It's not that she doesn't give it, it's that they don't dare to ask for it, so it's not her fault.

"Okay, stop nagging. Go back to the house early after eating. You have to go to work tomorrow morning." Father Xiao made the final decision.

Just after saying that she was sick, and guessing that no one would touch her bowl, Meng Xiaoman washed the bowls and chopsticks herself and took them to the room.

Zhou Aimei was still worried that Meng Xiaoman had an infectious disease. She didn't expect that a city citizen who looked clean and fresh would actually have an infectious disease. They were not as healthy as the country people, and Zhou Aimei's high opinion of the city people was lowered.

Meng Xiaoman and others finished the kitchen, went to boil a large pot of hot water, and filled the thermos bottle first. Xiao Xiangdong didn't even have a thermos bottle in his room, and he didn't know how he drank water at night. After brushing his teeth, he filled his own wash basin and foot basin with half a basin of hot water each, and took them to his room to wash up.

A room away, Xiao's mother was complaining to Xiao's father that she didn't know how to live. How much firewood would be wasted to boil so much water at once.

Father Xiao was half asleep as he dealt with it: "Tomorrow, just talk to her. As for my daughter-in-law, she still needs you as her mother-in-law to teach her."

Seeing the way he turned away from the shopkeeper, Xiao's mother stopped talking and secretly thought about how to train her daughter-in-law.

There are only two wash basins in the Xiao family, one wooden basin and one enamel basin. They are both used together whether washing the face or feet.

Meng Xiaoman was a little disgusted and used her own basin.

While she was busy, she paid special attention to Xiao Xiangdong. She was relieved when she saw that he dipped his toothbrush in some salt and brushed his teeth.

She can't stand a handsome guy who doesn't brush his teeth every day.

A handsome guy with exquisite facial features and handsome eyebrows opens his mouth, revealing big yellow teeth. The picture is unbearably "beautiful" just thinking about it.

During the day, Meng Xiaoman guessed that he was probably inhumane, so she decided to get along with him as a roommate. When I think about it this way, I feel much more relaxed.

So after wiping his face, he handed the towel to Xiao Xiangdong who was standing aside, "Here, wash your face before going to bed."

Xiao Xiangdong looked at the soft, warm white towel in his hand, a little stunned.

He was embarrassed to use it. Although he washed his face every day, he always felt that when he used it up, the white towel would be contaminated by him and turn black.

Meng Xiaoman saw him holding a towel in a daze and couldn't help but said: "What's wrong?".

Xiao Xiangdong came back to his senses, his ears warmed, "No, it's nothing.".

He wanted to say that he didn't use a towel, but he wanted to give it a try. Her towel would definitely feel very different.
