Chapter 25 The Wind Blows
Most people in this era like to eat fat meat. Even if they don't eat it directly, fat meat can be made into oil. A pound of fat meat can be made into a bowl of meat oil and can be eaten for half a month.
Lu Tong cut off a piece for refining oil and used the rest for meat filling.
Brother Xia was clinking and chopping meat, Xia Jin was holding on for time and took out the cherries when they were ripe. Lu Tong washed the cabbage and put it aside and started kneading the noodles again. She was talking to Xia Jin while kneading the noodles, while Xia Zhiqiao squatted under the cherry tree.
Peel the green onions.
Lu Tong in the kitchen looked worriedly at the small bridge under the trees outside the window.
Xia Jin frowned and reminded in a low voice, "Don't be too nervous, otherwise it will make the child feel sad. Besides, I think Xiaoqiao is not as delicate as you think. On the contrary, it is you who met Du Mei at work in the afternoon."
, just be a stranger."
After saying this, Lu Tong did feel much better, but he sneered again and again, "That snobbery has the same virtue as her son. Fortunately, we separated. Otherwise, how much injustice would my Xiaoqiao have to suffer?"
Xia Jin usually doesn't like to speak eccentrically, but at this time he said coldly, "The Li family may not be happy..."
After all, the aggressive look at the beginning meant he was going to cause trouble.
As a result, he left in despair.
If the expected goal is not achieved, it will definitely be frustrating.
Xia Jin was right, the atmosphere in the Li family was indeed a bit depressing.
Li Pengcheng sat on the chair with his head drooped, not knowing what to think.
Du Mei was scolding Lao Li for turning his elbow outward.
She was choked back by a few words from Lao Li, but Du Mei thought of Lu Tong's heartless attitude, and her heart was filled with anger. Lao Li scolded her a few words, and she got really angry. Du Mei didn't dare to fight him.
I could only shut up.
Lao Li then glared at Li Pengcheng and scolded, "Look at you, you are so reluctant to let go of this and that, you really think you are a piece of cake... Why are you still standing there? The Qu family is not waiting for news about you.
Well, why don't you go and inform me, don't do it to the end, you won't get anything from your fucking chickens and eggs..."
Li Pengcheng suddenly came to his senses, yes, Qu Lihe was still waiting for news, but she said that it would be best to finish it in the morning, and the two of them would take the work jeep back to work in the afternoon.
I also imagined so many futures with him.
Li Pengcheng finally cheered up and sorted himself out.
Du Mei felt a little better, with a smile on her lips.
If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.
Isn’t this such a simple truth in this world?
But the Xia family has gone too far. It would be great to get together and break up, but it has to be so tense.
It seems that they have not been in contact with each other for a long time, especially that dead girl Xiaoqiao. It was in vain that she was so kind to her, but she even let two old people from the neighbor's house watch the fun.
She doesn't think it's embarrassing, she still thinks it's embarrassing!
Especially what those two old guys said was so irritating.
Thinking of something, Du Mei's eyes flashed, and she said to Lao Li, "My son comes back once in a while. I'm going to buy some meat and stir-fry some vegetables. You can also have some wine to relieve your fatigue. You've been very tired and thin these days."
Already."
Lao Li liked hearing this and took the initiative to say that he was steaming rice at home.
Before leaving, Du Mei reminded her, "Don't use the rice brought by the Xia family. Keep it for the New Year. You can use indica rice and millet."
The rice brought by the Xia family was of special grade, and even those with money could not buy it.
Or it's because Uncle Xia's team is mainly responsible for planting special-grade rice, otherwise, it would really be impossible to eat.
After this, it will definitely be gone.
And what did Du Mei do?
She went to see the old lady of the Xia family.
Everyone knows that the old lady of the Xia family is a psychopath and cannot bear to see her eldest son's family living a good life.
It's just that it's not easy to worry about it now.
Reporting and exposing things worked well in the past, but not anymore. Anyone who tries to make things up out of nothing will be hated to death.
After all, many people have suffered enough in this regard.
And those who had suffered enough stood up again.
Naturally, this approach failed.
Therefore, over the past year or so, the old lady of the Xia family has become much more honest.
However, Du Mei felt that as Xia Zhiqiao's grandmother, she had the right to interfere in her granddaughter's marriage.
She had to make the first move.
Du Mei found Mrs. Xia Liu Cuihua who was enjoying the cool air outside.
Xia Mandun's family lives in the north of Mo County. The family has five large tile-roofed houses, which were built with Xia Jin's money. Xia Mandun has retired, and he and Liu Cuihua take care of their second son at home. They don't do anything serious on weekdays.
It's just that the east has the upper hand and the west has the shortcomings. After all, Liu Cuihua has half of Xia Jin's salary.
Although it is only half, for an old lady, it is a fixed monthly income.
In Liu Cuihua's heart, as long as Xia Jin is alive, she will have money to spend.
Today Liu Cuihua had a quarrel with her neighbor because her grandson stole his eggs.
Liu Cuihua is always victorious with her eldest son, but the neighbor of Lao Xia's family is not a fuel-efficient old lady.
At this moment, Liu Cuihua, who had not taken advantage, saw Du Mei, the mother of Xia Zhiqiao's future son-in-law, coming over, and her face immediately darkened. In her impression, this was a nest of snakes and rats, and that dead girl should live her whole life.
If you can’t get married, how can you still have a fiancé like Li Pengcheng?
Liu Cuihua felt that Li Pengcheng and Du Mei were blind.
She turned around, not wanting to talk to Du Mei.
Unexpectedly, Du Mei stood next to her and let out a long sigh, "Old lady, your eldest daughter-in-law must have not told you, right?"
Liu Cuihua said angrily, "What do you say? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush..."
"Xiaoqiao and my son have broken off their engagement. I am no longer lucky enough to be Xiaoqiao's mother-in-law."
There is no difference between Liu Cuihua's appearance and her personality. It is said that appearance comes from the heart, which still makes sense.
At this time, the mean and arrogant face was full of shock, and his small eyes were wide open, "What the hell, your son and Xia Zhiqiao broke off their engagement? Why?"
Du Mei sighed and did not answer directly, but said, "Logically speaking, you are the elder of the Xia family, so Xia Jin and Lu Tong should tell you about this, but they..."
After saying that, Du Mei was ready to leave.
But she was stopped by Liu Cuihua. She looked at Du Mei with evil eyes and sneered, "You are a sharp asshole. You are playing tricks on me. What do you mean? You want to use me as a spearman. Go to Xia Jin for you."
Do you want to vent your anger at home?"
Du Mei naturally denied it strongly, "Old lady, you can't say that. I just came to inform you that if we can't get married, you are also an old lady, right? I have to go back and cook for Lao Li...
"
Naturally, it was impossible for Du Mei to leave anything to say to Liu Cuihua.
Paradoxically, the old lady's willingness to use the topic to her advantage is her business. Even if she doesn't go, Du Mei has nothing to lose.
But according to her analysis, there was a 80% chance that the old lady would go to Xia Jin's house.
Maybe it will also get involved in Xia Zhiqiao's marriage.
If the old lady is so damaged, how can she find a good match for Xia Zhiqiao?
Maybe the Summer Solstice Bridge will be sold.
Du Mei curled her lips and sneered.
