dance like a butterfly

My face turned pale immediately.

I blocked her way: "Second sister-in-law, what's in your bowl?"

The second sister-in-law laughed: "Poached eggs! Old Han came to our house, and he didn't catch up with the meal time. It's very cold, drink some soup to keep him warm. My sister-in-law also made you a bowl."

"He can't drink this soup!" I yelled hastily.

"Why?" The second sister-in-law was very surprised.

"Sister-in-law, a bowl of egg soup is indeed a trivial matter at other times. But today, Lao Han really can't drink this soup! Even if he dies, he can't be allowed to drink it, absolutely not!"

I'm really in a hurry.

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law grabbed my shoulder, gave me a wink, and signaled me to go back to the room and talk.

Back in the house, the second sister-in-law put the tea tray on the back rail, and she stared at me blankly.

The old-fashioned kitchen layout in Hua County, when you step into the house, the first thing you see is a big earthen kang, which is connected to the pot table.It's just that between the kang and the pot platform, there is a low wall with a height of [-] centimeters and a brick width, which is called "back rail".One is to keep away the utensils and pots on the kang, and the other is for the back of the kang master.Although the times are constantly changing, the pot and the back fence are no longer made of soil, but have become a brick and cement structure, and tiles are also pasted on the outside, which looks much more high-end. The format has not changed.

The swift second sister-in-law cleaned up her kitchen.

Looking at the tea tray on the stove, the second sister-in-law stopped laughing: "Xiaojun, what are you doing today? Isn't it just a bowl of poached eggs?"

"However, today's bowl of poached eggs has a different meaning!"

"Have you thought of our old customs?" The second sister-in-law laughed and raised her hand to touch her temples.

What doesn't my shrewd second sister-in-law know?With a radius of tens of miles, she clearly has an account in her heart of what is particular about that village.If I guessed correctly, there must be white sugar in this bowl of poached eggs, which is a courtesy only given to the new son-in-law, just like the 1001 yuan red envelope given to the bride at the popular wedding banquet, which shows that he is very satisfied with the new couple Woolen cloth!

I bow my head.

"Xiaojun, ever since I found out about you, Lao Han, and Lao Zuo, to be honest, my sister-in-law felt really uncomfortable and couldn't accept it for a while. However, my sister-in-law thought about it repeatedly. Although My sister-in-law doesn't have much culture, but later, she figured it out. Tell me, a person's whole life, to be selfish, isn't it all for his own size, for his own happiness? As long as you don't steal or rob, as long as you leave You have to be upright, as long as you don't hurt others, and as long as you love me, sister-in-law, what else can I say about you! Anyway, you have grown up, and you are also a sensible scholar. You know the truth, You have seen much more of the world than your sister-in-law. You must have your own reasons for doing things, and you don't do things on a whim. Besides, this is your whole life. You can bring Lao Han to this time. When we come to our house, you are still friendly. Didn’t my sister-in-law see it? What are the old customs? Let’s talk about it big, this bowl of soup is given to Lao Han, and the sister-in-law welcomes him on behalf of our family. Isn’t it just a bowl of soup, people have eaten, just warming up in the cold weather! It’s been so many years, and you still hold on to your old brain!”

I just realized now that in front of my second sister-in-law, I am the child who will never grow up!

Without speaking, my tears flowed down involuntarily.

"Why are you crying? Wipe away your tears!"

The second sister-in-law laughed: "Oh, at your age, you cry every now and then. It seems that there really must be someone like Lao Han guarding you, so that people can rest assured!"

My heart was touched again by the second sister-in-law's words, and the tears rolled down like broken beads.

The second sister-in-law twisted her body to pour water, and after a while she handed over a steaming towel: "Wipe it quickly! Be obedient, don't cry! If Lao Han saw it, he would think that sister-in-law scolded you!"

I took the towel and covered my face.

"Wipe your face, let's go and drink soup with Lao Han. Otherwise, the soup will be cold, it's winter! Leave an honored guest aside, our Han family doesn't have such hospitality!"

The second sister-in-law brought the tea tray and was about to get up.

I put down the towel and said, "Sister-in-law, this bowl of soup still can't be given to Lao Han!"

The second sister-in-law was stunned, holding the tea tray in her hand, not knowing whether she should take it away or put it down.

"Sister-in-law, this bowl of soup can't be given to Lao Han!" I repeated: "We have already made a bet, he said he will definitely drink this bowl of soup."

Seeing my anxious appearance, it turned out that it was because of a bet, and the second sister-in-law laughed happily.

"You guys, why is Lao Han the same, he can't grow up, what's the point with a bowl of soup?"

A bet between men must be curious by women.The second sister-in-law never imagined that between me and Lao Han, the game would be set on a bowl of egg soup she made herself.

"There will be a general election next year. According to Lao Han, he wants to continue to be the village chief next year."

The second sister-in-law said, "That's a good thing!"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know the pros and cons. He is not the kind of ordinary village head, but the village head of an urban village with a population of 5000. No matter how he becomes the head of the village, in the eyes of others, he must be right and left. Not a person. He has been in office for two terms, can he not make enemies? If he continues to be in office, will I have a peaceful life in the future?"

being targeted.The head of the bird was shot, and the head was rotten in the rain.It's not that I don't understand these most obvious truths.

When facing Lao Han, even though I love him to death, I don't want to take too much care of Lao Han's affairs, but Guo Jingqi's words roll over and explode in my heart like thunder from time to time, making me shudder endlessly.

"Is that so?"

The second sister-in-law frowned.

"It's true. I don't want Lao Han to think about running for the next village head anymore! Before, he didn't know me, and I couldn't take care of his affairs. Although I don't want to take care of it now, but he If I become the village head again, it will involve whether I can have a stable life in the future. When we came this time, we made a bet on the road. We agreed that if he couldn’t eat poached eggs, he would not run for election next time. He never forgot If you want to eat the poached eggs made by the second sister-in-law, it is inevitable. I didn't expect that sister-in-law, you really made him this poached egg."

Regardless of whether the lack of poached eggs is a hint to Lao Han's participation in the next election meeting, even if it is a mantis holding back the car, I will explain the reason to my second sister-in-law.

Second sister-in-law, can he not stand by my side?

Take this bet as an example, Lao Han will definitely lose!

"It's no wonder that Lao Han just said that he wants to eat the food I cooked, and it's no wonder you said something 'violating the law'. Hehe, it seems that you violated the rules even more than him!"

The second sister-in-law laughed.

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if I break the rules. But Lao Han really can't eat this poached egg, and can't be the village chief anymore. I just want to have a peaceful and stable life with him!"

I get anxious.

The second sister-in-law laughed out loud.

I looked at my second sister-in-law, and the monk at Zhang Er Gao couldn't figure it out: "What's the matter?"

The second sister-in-law said: "Silly brother, in my opinion, this bet is just a joke!"

"How do you say it? Second sister-in-law, don't be tricky!"

Just as the second sister-in-law was about to speak, she heard someone yelling outside: "Second sister-in-law, is Xiaojun here?"

My god, it's Lao Han. Lao Han came to find me, and came to find his second sister-in-law's house.

The second sister-in-law glanced at me, and said in response, "Yes, yes."

After finishing speaking, the second sister-in-law went to the yard and waved to Old Han: "Brother Han, come in quickly, Xiaojun is talking to me here."

Looking at the tea tray on the stove, I hurried over, picked it up like a cheapskate, put it into the big pot, and put the lid on it.

I clapped my hands and walked to the door, with a smile on my face, to greet my dearest relative, Lao Han.
