Chapter 5 Wuyi Bowl of Braised Pork

Tonight, there is an extra pot of braised pork that was turned off halfway yesterday on the table.Xu hasn't smelled the smell of meat for a few days. Although the taste of this pot of braised pork is not very authentic, not as good as her father's unique and secret braised pork, Li Juan still ate a lot happily. "Mom, did you put star anise and Chinese prickly ash in this braised pork? In fact, my dad said that delicious braised pork is not seasoned, just soy sauce, sugar and rice wine. I don't know how to cook it. I will ask me next time." Dad told you!" Li Juan ate happily, ignoring that her mother-in-law's face was getting more and more gloomy, every time Li Juan put down more chopsticks, her mother-in-law's face became more dignified, and when the braised pork was about to bottom out, her mother-in-law's face It has turned to rain.

"Eat some green vegetables, and eat salty meat with empty mouth." The mother-in-law reminded obliquely. "Just drink some water later." "Then eat more." The mother-in-law tapped on the side of her bowl full of rice. "The rice is full of starch, which makes it easy to gain weight." The mother-in-law hesitated to speak, picked up the chopsticks and put them down, but the rice in the bowl did not move at all. "Mom, you eat too!" "Mom doesn't eat. Mom is not greedy. If Mom eats less, your children will eat more. This is the heart of being a mother." The mother-in-law only ate rice in front of her father-in-law and Yaping, and put Yaping in her bowl The meat in it was put back into Yaping's bowl, and the two fought like a fight over a piece of meat the size of a fingernail.

Lijuan glanced at her mother-in-law with her eyes, paused with her chopsticks, and decided to continue eating, pretending not to see.Lijuan thought: Hypocritical!If you are really mother's heart, then say that mother doesn't like meat anymore.Didn't you say this to me obviously? I'm partial to food!It's not that I don't earn wages, and I still have to look at your face to eat two pieces of meat? After dinner, Lijuan went upstairs to surf the Internet to write a manuscript, leaving Yaping downstairs to accompany his mother. It is rare for Yaping to talk to his mother at home. It is said that the old lady should be overjoyed and chatter endlessly.But Yaping's mother just kept her head silent and just focused on her work. Even if Yaping deliberately picked up a topic to tease her, she would not answer.Yaping leaned against the kitchen door to watch his mother work. "Are you free to do something or what? Can't you read books when you have free time, do business? What are you doing on the kitchen door? It's like a telephone pole and it's in the way. It's a big man's house. Don't go to the kitchen if you have nothing to do." Look around the world, how many men are like you? Come on, don't hang around in front of me." Yaping's mother was angry for no reason.

"Mom, don't I want to accompany you? I've been busy all day, so I don't have time to chat with you." "What are you talking about? Don't talk!" Yaping was being tortured by a bear, and Lijuan didn't know much about upstairs, maybe she ate too much meat just now, her mouth was dry, and she didn't want to go downstairs to see her mother-in-law's face, so she stood on the stairs on the second floor and shouted: "Yaping , pour me a glass of water. Thank you!" Yaping was going to get the cup when he saw that his mother's face was as bright as fire, and her eyes were staring at her son, which was as bright as a 100-watt light bulb.Yaping flinched suddenly, poked his head from the kitchen and said, "Come down and pour it yourself. You don't have long hands!"

The current situation at home is like this: Lijuan, Yaping, and Yaping's mother are on a three-point line, and Yaping is caught in the middle, farther away from his wife and closer to his mother.Yaping felt like a dynamite bag, with ignited cores at both ends, but according to the degree of danger, it seemed that Niang's side was going to explode a little faster.Step on one end first and then talk. Lijuan rushed downstairs and stood directly in front of Yaping. "Hot".This is Yaping's feeling.This idiom should mean that both hands are on fire. Now Lijuan is a little closer to Yaping, and the danger has shifted.The lead core started to spark.

"Li Yaping! I don't dare to trouble you. I have hands and I can pour it myself. But I may not remember well. I don't know who cried and shouted two days ago and insisted on pouring tea and washing water for me. .I originally thought you were willing to do it. Since you are not willing, now you have made it clear, and you will not dare to work for you from now on. Li Yaping, don’t think that I care about you, I’m afraid that you will not be happy if someone else falls for me in the end.” Li Juan opened the cupboard with a bang and took out a teacup.When passing by her mother-in-law, she didn't even look at her.

Yaping's mother's chest rose and fell like a tsunami, and she couldn't swallow her anger. She lowered her voice and said, "What kind of talk is this! It's so true! It's so! It's so!" Li Juan pretended not to hear, went straight upstairs, locked her Go to the door of the study.As long as the mother-in-law doesn't tell her to her face, she will pretend not to know. Yaping's mother was asleep, so he tiptoed to the door of the study, knocked once, stopped, and then knocked again. "Cuckoo, cuckoo, open the door." The voice couldn't be lower.

Lijuan pretended not to hear. "Juan, open the door! Talk to you!" Yaping was very humble. Lijuan does not open. "Juan, go in and say something. Do you hear me?" Yaping didn't dare raise his voice for fear that his mother would hear it. "What are you doing? You don't sleep in the middle of the night? You don't go to work tomorrow? Do you let the old man rest? How can such a big child not understand human affairs!?" Yaping's mother put her hand in her clothes and stood at the door of the bedroom to reprimand Yaping . Yaping just shrunk and squatted to call Lijuan, but suddenly he straightened up, stood up straight and let go of his voice and shouted: "Lijuan, open the door! My book is inside, let me go in and get it!" His hands were also beating heavily.

There was no echo from inside. "Open the door!" Yaping thumped the door hard and even kicked his foot. "She won't open it, but you insist on asking her to open it? What important book? I can't get it tomorrow morning? Go back to sleep!" Yaping's mother ordered, and she shouted in a particularly loud voice, so that Li Juan at the door could hear it. Yaping went back to the bedroom. Li Juan is lying on the sofa in the study, reading a novel with her mouth in her mouth.His face is grim.What she is concerned about now is how to sleep at night. It is still cold in April, and no quilt will freeze to death.

"My home, I can sleep wherever I want. As soon as the old lady falls asleep, I will go back to the bedroom." Li Juan thought. It's two o'clock in the morning.Li Juan couldn't even open her eyes, so she turned off the light and walked to the bedroom.She thought to herself: If Li Yaping dares to lock the door, I will divorce him tomorrow! Who is afraid of WHO? With a twist of the handle, the door opened silently.Li Juan was secretly delighted, and a sense of warmth welled up in her heart.What a good husband, if there is no mother-in-law here, kiss him to death! Li Juan sneaked into the bed lightly, and put her cold feet on Yaping's stomach.

In a daze, Yaping held Lijuan's feet with his hands, rubbed them, took Lijuan's head into his chest, and kissed Lijuan's forehead. it is more than words. "I want to be a good wife just to make Yaping happy." Lijuan told herself. Waking up early the next morning, Li Juan ran downstairs cheerfully, and saw her mother-in-law hunched over tidying up the refrigerator, so she called out affectionately, "Mom! Good morning!" The pent-up resentment in Yaping's mother's chest has not yet been resolved, and it disappeared with a single "Mom". She had made up her mind not to show good face to her daughter-in-law, but suddenly her heart softened, "She is really a child, she doesn't remember anything. !" Yaping's mother's eyebrows were still at 8:20 just now, but suddenly they turned to 10:10, she turned around with a smile and said, "Get up! Let's have breakfast! I didn't stew it dry today, so do as you said. The porridge! Yaping just left." "It's too late, I'm going to be late! I'll get up early tomorrow to eat." "How can I live without something to eat in the morning? It's a problem to be hungry!" "I have biscuits in my office! Goodbye!" Li Juan waved without turning her head, and walked out quickly. Yaping's mother said to Yaping's father who was sitting at the dining table: "In the end, I am a child. I don't know anything, and I need someone to teach me. I really don't have a heart, so let's finish talking. We adults can't be as knowledgeable as her, right? " "What did she say?" "Last night, when you were out for a walk, she asked Yaping... Forget it. It's a trivial matter. But we Yaping, the man is not angry enough to hold his wife." "So when he said he was looking for a Shanghai girl, I muttered, how precious are those Shanghai girls! Can they be useful? When you live here in the future, teach her more, and you can't let her go." Yaping Dad said.
