Chapter 022 Mother Han loses control

A little bit of work would not make Xiao Zhen tired. He even worked quite actively. It was a pleasure to stretch his limbs and work hard.

When she finished washing several large baskets of cabbage, it was already past noon. Xiao Zhen entered the kitchen and saw that there was no food left on the table, not even any leftovers.

Already expected it.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen stretched his waist and began to wash rice and cook.

For her, eating is a big deal. If she doesn’t eat, how will she have the energy to work?

The crackling sounds in the kitchen quickly attracted the Han family.

When she saw the mess in the kitchen and Xiao Zhen who was lighting the fire, Mother Han asked sharply: "What are you doing?"

"Cooking." Xiao Zhen said calmly.

"What are you going to cook? It's already past lunch time." Without saying a word, Mother Han became angry again.

"You all ate lunch, but you didn't leave any for me. I can only cook for myself." Xiao Zhen glanced at Mother Han, whose face was livid with anger.

Mrs. Liu who came in heard Xiao Zhen's words and hurriedly looked at the rice vat and said in a voiceless voice: "Third brother and sister, how much rice did you cook? Why is half of it missing?"

"Three bowls." Then Xiao Zhen was annoyed with himself. When he was eating, he thought that his parents also wanted to eat, so he subconsciously put three full bowls in, completely forgetting that he was in the Han family now and only had it for himself.

Help me with the food, I'm burning too much now.

"Three bowls?" Ms. Liu said in shock, "That's enough for three days at home. This month's silver is almost used up. This, this..."

When Mother Han heard this, her expression became even worse.

"Then go pick up some more rice." Xiao Zhen said strangely. Isn't it normal to pick up more rice when there is no rice? Countryside people farm their own fields, so they don't have to worry about food rations. There has been no famine in the past few years, even in their family.

The harvest is good. If we can eat white rice every day, the Han family will be better off. But don’t tell her there is no grain.

"The third brother was selected as a scholar, and my mother bought some things in town to give to my husband. There is not much silver left this month." The third brother and sister are new here, so they don't understand. My mother-in-law is very concerned about the monthly expenses.

There is a plan. After these three bowls of rice, there is no money left to add rice: "Besides, when we usually cook, we always put some taro, pumpkin and sweet potato in the steamer and eat them together."

At this time, Mother Han rushed to the wooden kitchen, opened the kitchen door, took out the sweet potatoes inside and gritted her teeth at Xiao Zhen: "It sounds like our Han family has abused you, isn't this left for you? Ah?

?" As he said that, he slammed the sweet potatoes in the bowl towards Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect Han Mu to lose control so much. He couldn't avoid it and was hit on the forehead by a sweet potato. Although it didn't hurt much, the feeling in his heart was really unpleasant.

How could Xiao Zhen not know that taro and sweet potatoes are steamed with rice and eaten together, but in the Xiao family, her parents always only gave her white rice to eat. Either her parents ate the taro and sweet potatoes or asked her to take them to the mountains to fill her belly.

thing.

Now that I think about it, it must be that her parents love her so much that they only feed her white rice.

"Get out, get out." Mother Han pointed at the door and said sternly.

Xiao Zhen had no choice but to leave. When she left the kitchen, she saw Father Han and his eldest and second brothers carrying hoes to go out. They were all looking at her.

"Dad, brother, are you going to work in the fields?" Xiao Zhen said hello with a stiff smile.

Unexpectedly, the third daughter-in-law would say hello to him, so Father Han nodded and went out.

"Why don't you say hello to me? I'm your second brother." Seeing that his father and eldest brother had gone out, Han Zineng approached Xiao Zhen and said dissatisfied.

Xiao Zhen ignored him.

"You're really good. If a daughter-in-law says this to her mother-in-law, she won't burst into tears and run back to her parents' house. How come you're fine?" Brother Xiao felt that these three younger siblings were big-hearted.

"Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if I ran back to my parents' house crying and came back shamelessly?" After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he entered his room and closed the door.

The weather was very good in the afternoon.

The men in Tangxia Village work in the fields, while the women dry things and weave at home.

Even though Mother Han had a bad attitude, Xiao Zhen could never really go against her. Therefore, as soon as the Han family men went out, Xiao Zhen calmed down in the house and then started to dry the grains in the yard. After drying, he dried the quilt again.

.

This took all afternoon.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Xiucai? She has been working on the first day she entered the house?" Aunt Wei next door was picking some fresh vegetables and passing by. When she saw Xiao Zhen drying her quilt, she planned to come in and chat for a few words.

"Do something, otherwise it will be boring." Xiao Zhen said with a smile.

"What are you boring about? In the first three days of your wedding, you don't have to do anything. Just wear new clothes every day and go to the neighboring streets to get familiar with each other. This is the rule of our Tangxia Village. It's not like you don't know it." Aunt Wei suddenly whispered.

: "Did your mother-in-law ask you to do it?"

Looking at Aunt Wei looking like she wanted to find out something, Xiao Zhen chuckled: "No, I have to do it myself."

"You are so diligent." Aunt Wei looked Xiao Zhen up and down: "Why aren't you wearing new clothes? Didn't your aunt make them for you?"

"Why not? I didn't wear it because I was afraid it would get dirty." Xiao Zhen changed the quilt to dry it and said, "Auntie, I have recognized my uncle and aunt as my parents. Don't make mistakes again in the future."

"Yes, look at my memory." Aunt Wei said hurriedly. After a while, she looked around again: "Why don't you see your sister-in-law coming out to help you? It's very difficult to dry so many quilts at the same time."

"Sister-in-law has other things to do." Xiao Zhen didn't want to talk anymore. After rolling the grains, he was about to go back to the house. When he turned around, he saw Mother Han coming out with a cutting knife.

"Hey, Aunt Han, you really have a good wife. She helped you with work on the first day of marriage." Aunt Wei laughed and left after seeing Han's mother.

Mother Han just nodded with a stiff face. After Aunt Wei left, she looked at Xiao Zhen coldly and said: "We in the Han family don't have people who bite their tongues. You'd better clean up and don't talk nonsense like your aunt."

."

"I didn't say anything nonsense." Although Xiao Zhen knew that my mother was a person who couldn't hold back her words, she felt quite uncomfortable when Mother Han said that. "Also, I have already accepted my aunt as my mother.

Don’t make a mistake, Aunt Han.”

"What does this have to do with me? Just don't bring those dirty tempers into my Han family."

Do you want to stop talking? Facing Mother Han's face whose anger didn't seem to go away, Xiao Zhen sighed in his heart and gave up.

At this time, Mother Han threw the cutting knife in her hand at Xiao Zhen's feet: "Go and cut two baskets of grass for the rabbits to eat."

"Are you going now? The sun is going down." Xiao Zhen looked at the sunset on the horizon.

"What? Your family hasn't come back yet, and you're thinking about dinner?" Mother Han looked at her sarcastically.

He was indeed a little hungry. After all, he didn't eat anything at noon, but Xiao Zhen still said: "I'll go now." After saying that, he sighed in his heart and agreed that he wouldn't have to worry about the Han family's suffocation anymore. What did he want to say?

She just blocked the conversation, but when we really got along, she still couldn't do it.

Xiao Zhen walked with a basket in one hand and murmured: "In the final analysis, I am a kind person. I respect my elders, respect my parents-in-law, and do whatever I am told. After living for two lives, I really can't say that I have such a temper.

Just change it, how can you be so kind?"

As the sun set, Father Han and the other three who were returning from working in the fields looked at Xiao Zhen strangely as he took out two baskets.

Brother Han wondered: "Isn't that a basket for putting grass? It's getting late, and my brothers and sisters still have to go cut the grass?"
