1177 midnight(1/2)
The second uncle was not completely drunk, but he was not too drunk. He was swaying when he walked. I said I would take him home to have a rest, but there was an extra person at home, which scared me so much!
Taking a closer look, this person is none other than the Red Flower Empress!
At that time, I was a little stunned. It was indeed the Red Flower Lady. She was busy in the kitchen, pots and pans clinking. This scene reminded me of many years ago. Although my mother rarely cooked, she would occasionally cook.
It was also done, so some memories really overlapped together, which made me feel a little enlightened for a moment, as if I was living in a dream.
At the same time, Cheng Yiyi and her second uncle also walked up. They also saw the Red Flower Empress and stood stunned on the spot like me.
The Red Flower Lady heard the footsteps and stuck her head out to take a look.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law..." The second uncle stopped wandering and immediately stood upright, like a primary school student in class, not even daring to speak loudly.
The Red Flower Empress smiled sweetly: "We're all back. Come and have a rest. Dinner will be ready soon!"
Cheng Yiyi and I helped my second uncle sit down on the sofa and asked him if he needed to go to bed to rest. His uncle said no and asked me in a low voice: "Why is your mother here?"
I said: "I don't know."
Seeing that my second uncle was sitting on pins and needles, I asked him what was going on. He said, "I'm most afraid of your mother. Don't you remember?"
When my second uncle said this, I did think of a lot of past events. In the past, when my second uncle came back to visit relatives once in a while, he would get very drunk with my father. Every time, my mother would scold me bloody, and even once I disliked them and vomited.
It was so smelly that they threw out all the mattresses, and they slept in the yard all night...
King Nan doted on the Red Flower Lady, which goes without saying. He took the scolding without resisting. The second uncle was very young at that time. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. He also really respected my mother.
He also didn't dare to talk back.
Two big men were bullied to death by a woman.
After so many years, this kind of thinking has become so ingrained that even after all these years, my second uncle still trembled when he saw the Red Flower Lady. Of course, even if he were fighting alone, his second uncle was no match for my mother, and it was normal to be afraid of my mother.
I said dumbfounded: "She has divorced my father, why are you still afraid of her?"
The second uncle scratched his head and said, "I don't care, she will always be my sister-in-law in my heart."
"But you're drunk, so you have to rest."
"Why are you so drunk? As soon as I saw your mother, I immediately sobered up..."
Cheng Yiyi was laughing so hard beside her.
I was speechless and had no choice but to say whatever.
Cheng Yiyi and I wanted to go to the kitchen to help the Red Flower Empress, but we were kicked out by her, saying that it would be ready right away, without our intervention, and that this time she would open our eyes and show off her specially learned cooking skills. I
Cheng Yiyi and Cheng Yiyi had no choice but to return.
After a while, the Red Flower Lady brought the dishes one by one. It was quite hearty, with four dishes and one soup.
It's just that the four vegetables were all dark, nothing could be seen at all, and the soup was watery. It was obvious that too much water had been added, and not even a vegetable leaf could be seen.
"Eat! Eat!" The Red Flower Lady gave us chopsticks one by one.
We have chopsticks and we really have no idea what to do.
"Try this, my new braised pork!" Honghua Empress said, pointing to one of the dishes.
Is this braised pork?
We thought it was just a few pieces of carbon...
We looked at each other in shock, and no one wanted to be the first to make the move.
"Er son, eat!" the Red Flower Empress urged the second uncle. "Er son" is the second uncle's nickname because he is the second eldest child in the family.
"Yes, uncle, hurry up and eat. My mother made this specially for you."
"Second uncle, hurry up and eat."
Cheng Yiyi and I urged our second uncle.
The second uncle frowned, as if he had taken a lot of courage, and finally picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth with gritted teeth. Really, he was not so nervous when facing the King of Hexi. Cheng Yiyi and I
They all looked at him, their eyes full of sympathy, guessing that the second uncle must be in great pain.
Unexpectedly, the second uncle's eyes lit up the moment he entered the door, and he said happily: "Oh my God, sister-in-law, when did your cooking taste so delicious?"
The Red Flower Empress said proudly: "Really?"
"Yeah, despite the appearance, it's really delicious on the inside. It's the first time I've eaten such delicious braised pork!"
The second uncle was very excited. He ate happily and stuffed a few more pieces into his mouth.
Cheng Yiyi and I were shocked, is it so delicious?
The Red Flower Lady said that she had learned cooking skills. Is it true? We shouldn’t look at her in an old way. Seeing that the second uncle was about to finish eating, Cheng Yiyi and I were not to be outdone, so we each picked up a piece and stuffed it into our mouths.
inside.
At this moment, we both almost shed tears.
It's really awful.
How to describe the taste? It's like chewing a pile of Chinese medicine residue.
The Red Flower Empress has never been able to make braised pork so delicious. No one has ever done it before or since.
"Hahahahaha..." The second uncle laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
We finally understood that it was the second uncle who deliberately played tricks on us, just to get us to eat too. But he was obviously hurting the enemy by 800 yuan and hurting himself by 8000 yuan. He ate at least four or five yuan...
The Red Flower Lady still didn’t know what happened, so she asked us in confusion what was wrong.
The second uncle stopped laughing, sat up straight and said, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills have really not changed at all over the years..."
The Red Flower Empress finally understood what was going on.
"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me!"
The Red Flower Lady roared, and my second uncle, Cheng Yiyi, and I immediately lowered our heads and devoured our food like a whirlwind...
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they each leaned on the sofa to rest. It was not a rest after being satisfied, but a rest away from the sea of suffering.
It was really too painful. Eating the food cooked by the Red Flower Lady was even more terrifying than going against the King of Hexi.
Only then did I have the opportunity to ask the Red Flower Empress: "Mom, why are you here?"
The Red Flower Empress said: "I heard from Master Chun that the King of Hexi is causing trouble for you, so I came to take a look!"
It turned out to be so, and my heart immediately felt warm.
"It's okay!" I took out Master Chun's small wooden sign and said that with this, the King of Hexi didn't dare to do anything to me.
The Red Flower Empress nodded: "Master Chun has already beaten him. I came here to see the second son. I'm really sorry. You have been in jail for two years and I didn't know at all!"
"Less than two years..." The second uncle corrected the Red Flower Empress and said at the same time: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern!"
The Red Flower Empress curled her lips: "Don't call me sister-in-law, I have nothing to do with your brother anymore."
The second uncle lowered his head and said: "I don't care, anyway, in my heart, you will always be my sister-in-law and my family..."
Although the second uncle is very imposing and fearless outside, he is also the boss of the Five Elements Brothers. He has arrested so many criminals and made countless villains frightened... But in front of the Red Flower Lady, he really looks like a child. I feel that he is the same,
He only had two relatives, his eldest brother and his sister-in-law. Once they divorced, he also lost his home...
It’s just that he was older than me at that time, and he was serving in the military, so he didn’t express his emotions so openly. In fact, he was very sad inside.
The Red Flower Empress sighed and said: "Second son, when I first married your brother, you were still young, only over ten years old, and still in school. We have been together for many years. Of course I treat you as family, otherwise I would
I won’t come back to see you! But you have to understand that you really can’t call me sister-in-law anymore.”
The second uncle said helplessly: "Then what should I call you?"
"Call me sister."
The second uncle said with a black line: "Then Zhang Long can't call me uncle?"
"I think it's okay."
It's messy, it's too messy.
Later, under my strong protest, I still called my second uncle. As for my second uncle, I just called my mother my sister. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a title, as long as we treat each other as family.
The second uncle was lying on the sofa in my house, watching the wind blowing slightly in the courtyard, and said with great emotion: "There is only one person missing. It would be perfect if my brother was here..."
"If he comes, I will leave!" the Red Flower Lady said angrily.
The second uncle didn't reply, because he fell asleep and slept soundly on the sofa.
I carried my second uncle to his bedroom.
My old house is not big, with three rooms in total. In the past, my father and mother had one room, I had one room, and my second uncle had one room.
The distribution is still the same now. The Red Flower Empress still sleeps in her room, the second uncle sleeps in his own room, and Cheng Yiyi and I sleep in my room. In fact, I am quite curious, which room does the Red Flower Empress sleep?
Will you miss people when you see things, and recall every moment with King Nan?
Of course, I didn’t dare to ask. To mention King Nan’s name in front of the Red Flower Lady was to seek death.
All in all, the night was very sweet and wonderful.
There's only one bad thing.
