The kitchen is not small either. There is an earthen stove, a cupboard, three briquette stoves of different sizes, two wooden buckets, and a small square table, but the kitchen seems a bit crowded.
There is also a plate of fried pork with chili peppers and steaming tomato and egg soup on the small square table.
The fish is still stewing in the small pot of the earthen stove, and the fish smell is fragrant.
With fish and meat, this dish is really good.
But it made them look very dazzling and felt very sad. What about the poor people who had promised? The food was better than theirs.
However, it was also full of color, flavor and taste, which made Xiao Jianhua sing about the empty city plan.
"Dad, Auntie, please sit down quickly." Xiao Fang brought in two stools from outside and warmly greeted them to sit down. He also found two enamel mugs and poured them two cups of tea.
Xiao Jianhua was also deeply afraid that Wu Julan and the others would come in, so he stared at her with a stern face and began to lie: "Xiao Hong, how could you take out the gold and silver from your house without distinguishing between the inside and the outside?"
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes and was very angry: "Dad, are you sick? What kind of gold and silver can our family have?"
"They say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Can I get a penny from you while I'm at the Xiao family?"
After saying that, he patted his head again, looked at Liu Meijuan maliciously and said, "I made a mistake. When I left before, you did give me a hundred yuan."
Looking at her expression and her manner of speaking, Xiao Jianhua showed that she did not feel guilty at all, which made him begin to wonder if he was overthinking.
"What?" Liu Meijuan took a breath and looked at him in disbelief: "Why did you give her so much money?"
Xiao Hong obviously wanted to sow discord between them, and was also worried that they would not quarrel, so he quickly added: "Not only did you give me a hundred yuan, but you also gave Xiao Fang a hundred yuan. What's going on, do you dare to have an opinion?
"
"No, you are father and daughter. This is what you should do." Liu Meijuan must have some objections in her heart, but she didn't dare to make trouble with him outside. If she was beaten by Xiao Jianhua in front of Wu Julan, it would be like being skinned.
Embarrassing.
She pointed to the things the two of them had brought: "Your father has been thinking about you all the time, and even bought some food to see you."
He sighed again: "Our family is going to build a house now. Money is tight at home. You are living well now. Why don't you lend it to us first? No matter how much it is, it is what you want, right?"
Xiao Hong admired Liu Meijuan for her ability to bend and stretch, to have the nerve to cry out for poverty, and to borrow money from herself.
But a fool also knows that if the money is lent out, it will never come back.
But she can also cry about poverty.
She pointed to her clothes: "The money has been spent. We are going to high school, so we can't dress too sloppily."
Liu Meijuan saw that their sisters were all wearing new clothes and new sneakers, and her face was distorted with anger.
At this moment, Wu Julan, who was worried, also walked in quickly, looked at them and said angrily: "What are you doing here?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid for me." Xiao Jianhua stood up suddenly and walked to her side, holding back his anger and forcing a smile: "Now that the gold is in your hands, I don't want to take it all back, but don't be too greedy.
, let’s take half each, that’s it!”
But Wu Julan really didn't know about gold, and said angrily: "Are you crazy, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Don't even think about making excuses." Xiao Jianhua thought he had understood everything: "If you hadn't taken my things, how could you have money to do business?"
He drives a tractor himself and often helps others transport goods. He has also heard people say that he can make money by doing business now.
But doing business also requires capital.
Even if many people have that idea, when they think of the huge capital, they are worried that they will lose money in business and owe a lot of debt.
He calculated that the dumpling shop they opened would cost at least about five hundred yuan from rent to decoration.
But according to what he knew before, Wu Julan and the others could only live with food and clothing.
If you can open a store now, you must have stolen your own gold as capital.
Fortunately, Xiao Hong was prepared: "Dad, you misunderstood. I saved a drowning man two months ago, so they lent us money. The rent hasn't been paid yet?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Jianhua looked at her in disbelief: "You must have lied to me, right? Who would be so generous? Borrowing a house and money?"
Xiao Hong pretended to be shy: "You go out and ask around. Xu Xinning is the son of the director of the towel factory, and his life is expensive? What does this little money count for?"
After saying that, she looked at Wu Julan and said, "Mom, go and show him the IOU, so that they won't have any random thoughts."
This was said long ago.
But it was not to guard against them, but to worry that Uncle Zhao's parents and brothers would take the opportunity to borrow money.
Who would have expected that Xiao Jianhua and his wife would be the first to use it?
Wu Julan went upstairs with a face, and soon came down with an IOU, which clearly stated that she owed Xu Xinning a thousand yuan.
This IOU is real, but it is borrowed to buy a house.
After Xiao Jianhua saw it, the corner of his mouth twitched, secretly spitting at them for trying to make them look fat, but his doubts were dispelled.
At this time, Zhao Laosi also walked in and smiled politely at them: "Weird guest, would you like to stay and have lunch together?"
Xiao Jianhua really disliked him.
Even if he and Wu Julan divorced, in his heart, Wu Julan was still his wife, and she should be guarded by him.
Who would have thought that Wu Julan would be willing to marry in the mountains?
He stood up with a face: "No, I just came to see if Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang are doing well."
Then he looked at his two daughters with a gentle and loving look on his face: "When the new house is built, I will leave a room for you. Dad is waiting for you at home, and I will buy you whatever you want."
Anyway, it was just empty talk, but he said it very beautifully.
Xiao Hong didn't want to see him like this, and smiled a little bit: "Dad, the weather is getting colder and colder. My sister and I want to buy jackets and thicker pants. How about we go buy them now?"
Xiao Fang also nodded cooperatively: "We have good food these days, so we have all grown a bit. Last year, our clothes were shorter."
When Liu Meijuan heard this, she felt bad all over. Her face was as green as a green loofah.
She came here to ask for money, not to be a philanthropist.
In her haste, she wisely said: "Jianhua, we have to go back quickly. We will be in trouble if we can't catch the car later."
Xiao Jianhua, worthy of being her husband for many years, immediately understood what she meant and nodded cooperatively: "Yes, I have to help people transport stones, and they are waiting to lay the foundation."
After saying that, he looked at his two pretty daughters with an apologetic look: "It's really too late today. If I can go home and stay for a few days before you guys get on holiday, I will definitely buy it for you then."
