Lucky husband

Ever since I sent Qian Xinghua back to Qian's house, the area of ​​Li's house seemed to have suddenly quietened down, except that the neighbor next door would cry once or twice at dawn. Much less.

July passed quietly like this, and when Li Chengshi came back at the end of the month, Mrs. Li happily called Li Chengli, his father, his son, and his daughter to the main house of Li's house for dinner.

It is said that everyone gets together to have a good meal, but in fact what they eat is sweet potatoes and taro mixed with a few grains of white rice.

The dishes are the same, the fresh vegetables and a sauerkraut that have been grown with great difficulty.

As for the meat, don't even think about it. As long as the threat of wolves descending from the mountain persists, it is impossible to eat meat. Granny Li only added a small spoonful of lard when cooking, and it was considered meat.

After several people from the second room of Li's family came over, Li Chengshi didn't see his second sister-in-law, so he asked casually, "Second brother, why isn't second sister-in-law here?"

Li Chengshi didn't know what happened before, he didn't expect Qian Xinghua to be sent away, he only thought that she didn't want to work and purposely avoided coming here earlier.

"Third brother, your second sister-in-law was sent back to Qian's house by your second brother." Madam Li said flatly, she didn't want to mention it at the dinner table, after all, the children were still here.

Li Chengshi understood the complexion, did not continue to ask, turned around and went to the kitchen to help with the dishes.

After a while, all the food was placed on the dining table, and everyone sat down and began to eat.

At this time, Li Ming discovered that everyone's bowls contained only sweet potatoes or taro, but his third aunt's bowl was mostly white rice.

Immediately, Li Mingcai became unhappy. The Li family had been separated for so long, Qian Xinghua always satisfied Li Mingcai first when eating, and then thought about herself, and then Li Chengli. Cognition - only he can eat more delicious white rice.

However, after Li Chengli's teaching during this period, Liming became upset and didn't explode immediately, and honestly picked up the taro in his bowl and started to chew.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, a scent that he hadn't smelled for a long time suddenly wafted from the kitchen, and his attention was suddenly attracted.

Egg custard was steaming in the stove. Not long after the scent wafted out, Bai Xiuhe got up and went to the stove to bring over the steamed egg custard.

Today's eggs were brought back quietly by Li Chengshi, and Mrs. Li decided to steam them into egg custard and eat them together with the family.

Since Jiang Zhiyun still needed to breastfeed, Granny Li scooped up a bowl full for her first, followed by several children in the family, Li Mingde, Li Mingli, Li Mingchun, Liming Xia, Li Mingjin, Li Mingcai and Li Mingyue, each The children only got one spoonful, which is about the same amount.

Then, when Mrs. Li was about to share the rest of the egg custard among the adults, Li Ming ate the spoonful from his own bowl in one gulp, put the bowl away, and said something of course : "More!"

Old Madam Li raised her eyebrows: "What else do you want?"

This is what Granny Li likes to do when she is about to get angry. She looks at the other children honestly and cherishes the egg custard in their bowls, except Liming is a special case.

Li Ming just licked his lips, recalling the taste of egg custard, and said louder than before: "I want egg custard!"

"Look at your brothers and sisters, have they made a fuss about asking for more?" Mrs. Li ignored Li Mingcai, and divided the egg custard into everyone's bowl in twos and threes.

"I want more!" Li Ming stared at Granny Li's movements with wide eyes, and finally looked at the empty bowl left. He couldn't take it anymore, and burst into tears, "I still want egg custard, woo woo woo ...I want more!"

No one cared about him crying, Li Mingcai started to grab the bowl, Sitting next to him was Li Mingxia, Li Mingxia didn't pay attention, the bowl was snatched by Li Mingcai.

Li Mingxia couldn't make the move to snatch her job back. She watched the egg custard in her bowl being eaten up by her younger brother in one gulp, and looked at her father silently.

Liming would not do this at the dinner table on weekdays, because his mother had tried to let him eat the best food as much as possible when he was there, but when he saw Li Mingjin giving Liming Xia and the others some sweets and cakes, he He would grab it directly, and today at the dinner table, he made the same action.

"Li Chengli, don't care about your son!" Seeing this scene, Mrs. Li was so angry that she wanted to pick up her chopsticks and smack Li Mingcai twice. Why was this child taught like that.

Li Chengli was sitting near the children. He stretched out his arms and took the bowl away from Li Mingcai's hand: "Mingcai, how can you grab sister's bowl?"

Li Ming took it for granted: "How can they eat egg custard, the egg custard is mine."

After speaking, he climbed up from the stool, stretched out his hand, and wanted to get the bowl of egg custard in front of Li Mingchun.

Li Chengli didn't know how to discipline his son, so he just stood up as usual, lifted his son up silently, put him in the corner, and didn't plan to control him.

It is useful to do this when he is crying at dawn, because he knows that no one will coax him, but today is different, the egg custard is right in front of him, and he has already eaten it and realized the deliciousness of the egg custard. And egg custard, he wants to eat.

Li Chengli couldn't discipline Li Mingcai well. Hearing the crying of the child, no one at the dinner table was in the mood to eat.

Especially for Jiang Zhiyun, there was only one spoon in other people's bowls, but she was the only one with a full bowl, making her hold it a bit awkward.

Granny Li noticed that Jiang Zhiyun was eating slower, and said, "Third daughter-in-law, you eat yours, don't worry about them, you still need to breastfeed your child later, so I can't starve you, and so do the others. Eat your own, don't wait for the second child to teach the child well."

After talking about the people at the dinner table, Mrs. Li took a deep breath and shouted at Li Chengli and Li Ming who were in the corner: "Second brother, you have to let your son go to the yard, don't delay everyone from eating."

"Mother, I got it." Li Chengli nodded, picked up Li Mingcai's armpits, and led him to the yard.

After Jiang Zhiyun was brought out by Li Chengli at dawn, she continued to eat the egg custard in her bowl.

Li Chengzhi, Bai Xiuhe, and Li Chengshi were the same, they didn't pay attention to the movement in the yard and continued to eat.

The room was finally restored to cleanliness. Mrs. Li looked at Li Mingxia who could only eat the taro left in her bowl pitifully, and brought her own bowl over: "Girl Xia, Grandma thinks egg custard is too fishy. You can eat it." Bar."

Li Mingxia is already ten years old, and her age is not as easy to fool as Li Mingcai, who is six or seven years old. She protects her bowl with her hand: "Grandma, you can eat egg custard, I don't use it."

Li Mingchun thought about it, and poured half of the egg custard from her bowl into her sister's bowl: "Grandma, I still have egg custard here, and my sister and I will share it."

"That's right, the two of us can't have a few bites of snacks, one serving is enough for the two of us." Li Mingxia quickly agreed.

The two sensible girls formed a stark contrast with Li Ming who was still crying outside, and Granny Li's mood immediately improved a lot: "Okay, you two girls are skinny, eat more, grandma It’s okay to eat less than one or two bites when you’re getting older.”

After finishing speaking, she forcefully distributed the egg custard in her bowl to the two girls.

Li Mingchun and Li Mingxia didn't know whether they should refuse this time, Li Chengzhi taught them: "Thank you grandma, you two little girls can eat with peace of mind, our adults will never let your children eat less."

After Li Chengzhi finished speaking, Li Mingxia nodded, took her sister Li Mingchun to thank Mrs. Li, and took small bites of egg custard cherishingly.

Seeing the obedient and sensible children eating egg custard happily, Li Chengzhi picked up the bowl and wanted to give the egg custard in his bowl to his mother. But it was delicious.

"Okay, okay, what to do here and there, it's endless, you all have a good meal." Old man Li finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he divided half of the egg custard in his bowl to the old wife, " I will give your mother's share, and I will take care of my daughter-in-law, so you can eat your own and eat well."

Although it is said to belong to an old husband and wife, but listening to old man Li's words of defense, old lady Li still feels sweet in her heart.

Mrs. Li accepted the egg custard that old man Li gave her with peace of mind. While eating the egg custard, she educated her son and grandchildren: "Everyone has seen what happened today. What's delicious? My sister gave it to my sister. My sister thanked my sister." , a son thinks of his parents, a father and mother remembers his son, husband and wife understand each other, support each other, love each other, and a harmonious family is the best."

Everyone unanimously expressed that they understood that the harmony in the house and the crying outside seemed to be separated into two different worlds.

Li Chengli was outside, facing his son who was crying all the time, feeling headache and tired.

In the past, Qian Xinghua was in charge of the family affairs, so he didn't notice how disobedient his son was.

"I want to eat egg custard, I want to eat, I want to eat." The weather was hot, Li Ming blushed from crying, "Mother! I want mother! Don't want dad! Dad go away! Don't want dad!"

He was crying so much this time, not only because he didn't eat egg custard, but also because he thought of the time when his mother didn't take care of him, and he suffered a lot of grievances.

At this time, the last bit of sunlight was still shining outside the house, Li Chengli was sweating all over, and couldn't help feeling a little restless.

"Your mother is at her mother's house, not here. Now your father and I are in charge of you. It's useless for you to call mother." Li Chengli sullenly faced Li Chengli who couldn't listen.

Liming cried even louder: "I'm going to find my mother!"

Speaking of which, when Qian Xinghua was sent back to Qian's house last time, Li Ming really went to Qian's house to find his mother. Li Chengli was startled when he heard such words, and was afraid that he would take advantage of him again at this time. Without paying attention, he sneaked back to Qian's house.
