Dele and Dehuan put their baskets on the ground, clutching their hungry bellies with their thin, dark hands, and were about to walk into the house when they heard their aunt and uncle muttering, "Mom and Dad seem to be eating noodles."

While talking, Liao Guifen wiped the bowls and chopsticks with a rag, "I think there are quite a lot of noodles in that bowl, is there any leftover after eating?"

"How could there be any left? Don't think about it." Shen Guisheng said.

"Hey," Liao Guifen sighed, and said in a helpless tone, "Why do you think the eldest aunt still hates us? I don't seem to have said anything. It is Dexi mother and daughter who made her angry, not us, you Say yes?"

Her husband nodded in agreement, "Yes, if Dexi hadn't suddenly gone to the eldest aunt's place to make trouble, our relationship wouldn't have become so tense."

"That girl of Dexi was spoiled by your mother. Her two younger sisters started working at a young age. What about Dexi? What does she look like? She goes to school with so many boys, and she doesn't look like a girl." look."

"Hush! You can keep your voice down," Shen Guisheng lowered his voice, "It's a good thing for girls to go to school, and mother is also good for girls..."

Liao Guifen snorted contemptuously, "If Mother really treats the girl well, she won't be calling Le He De Huan to do farm work every day. She is just superstitious."

"Who in the countryside is not superstitious? Not to mention my mother, many people in the village often say that the red birthmark on Xi's forehead is a source of wealth and accumulation."

Dele and Dehuan heard their words from a distance, but they didn't understand who the eldest aunt they were talking about, and guessed that there were guests at home.

De Huan whispered: "Second sister, auntie, she seemed to say that grandparents are eating noodles? Can we also eat noodles?"

"It's good that we can eat a bowl of corn mush, and forget about noodles."

After saying this, Dele took his sister and continued to walk to the main room, hoping that grandma and mother would remember to leave breakfast for them and not forget them like before.

When he was about to enter the house, De Huan said: "If only I had a red birthmark on my forehead, then I can be like the eldest sister, don't have to do any work at home, and can have a full stomach in the morning without cutting pigweed. "

"Hush!" Shen Dele hurriedly gestured, "Don't say that! Mother doesn't like hearing us compare with eldest sister, and grandma doesn't like it either..."

Her sister lowered her head and said no more.

The two walked into the spacious main room and saw their grandparents and other people they didn't know sitting at the Eight Immortals table.

Shen Su'e seldom went back to her natal home after her mother's death, and occasionally she would just sit and leave when she came back, and the children basically had no impression of her.

"Grandma," Dele said as he walked towards his grandma with some embarrassment, "We came back from cutting pigweed. This time we cut two baskets full of pigweed."

Zhao Cuilan was indulging in the deliciousness of the bacon noodles, and felt that although the noodles were a little hard, they were very chewy. The soup was rich and salty, paired with fragrant celery and delicious bacon, it was really indescribably delicious.

"Sister-in-law, are they your granddaughters too?" Jiang Qingshan, who finished eating the noodles first, asked, "Is it Guisheng's children, or Baosheng's?"

Zhao Cuilan ate the noodles in her mouth, wiped her mouth, and without raising her head, she replied casually, "Baosheng's child."

"Have they been asked to cut pigweed early in the morning?"

"That's right, the little girl, she always helps the family with the work, otherwise why would she support her?" Zhao Cuilan said.

Compared with Dexi, she treated the two little granddaughters differently, thinking that they were a complete waste of food.

"Grandma, can my second sister and I eat noodles?" De Huan couldn't help putting his fingers into his mouth, and said while swallowing, "I want to eat too."

Zhao Cuilan frowned, "Are you guys able to eat these noodles? Go back to the house and look for your father. There is still some corn mush left in the kitchen. Let him pretend to feed you."

"Oh." Dele replied, and pulled her sister out.

Before they went out, Jiang Qingshan noticed the wounds on the two sisters' hands cut by weeds, and couldn't help but said, "Wait, the corn paste may be cold, there are still a lot of noodles left, why don't you eat some too?" How about noodles? The noodles are hotter."

After finishing speaking, he subconsciously glanced at his wife beside him.

Shen Su'e didn't object, "Come and eat."

Unexpectedly, she would allow her two little granddaughters to eat noodles, Zhao Cuilan was very surprised, "Su'e, why let them eat? It's a waste."

"What's the waste? I think the two girls are quite pleasing to the eye. It just so happens that the noodles are overcooked."

Shen Su'e said so, looking at the older Dele, "There are no clean bowls here, please bring the bowls and chopsticks over here."

Dele was still a little dazed, "Bring the bowl? Shall I be with Dehuan?"

"Yeah," Shen Su'e said in a milder tone, "Hurry up and go."

"Mother, let Lingbao get the bowls and chopsticks," Xiao Lingbao got up and said, "The two elder sisters look tired after walking a lot."

Tu Gen also finished eating the noodles at this time, he rubbed his swollen stomach, jumped off the chair, "I want to go too."

"Lingbao is going to get a bowl. Do you want to follow?"

"Wherever my aunt is going, I will go there," Tu Gen said with a smile, and seeing his aunt went out, he hurriedly followed her, "Wait for me, aunt."

When the two children arrived in the kitchen, Liao Guifen had just put the washed bowls into the cupboard and was about to close the cupboard door when she heard Lingbao's voice, "Cousin, we want two bowls, two chopsticks and two spoons .”

In order to let the eldest aunt have a good impression of herself, Liao Guifen put a smile on her face, "Two bowls, two chopsticks and two spoons, right? Okay, here you are... handle with care."

"Thank you cousin." Xiao Lingbao said politely.

Seeing that they ran back to the main room with the bowls and chopsticks, Liao Guifen felt curious and went into the main room too, and saw that the eldest aunt was making noodles for the two little nieces.

"Don't be dazed, eat quickly." Shen Su'e said.

Dele didn't dare to move the chopsticks. Her sister picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating, but she stopped her with her hand, "Grandpa, grandma, can we have noodles?"

Their grandma didn't speak, but thought to herself: What a waste!It's better to give it to Dexi, otherwise it's better to give it to Zhaoping, Zhaogui or Deshun.

"Let's eat," Uncle Shen said, "but before eating the noodles, I have to thank your aunts, understand? These are the noodles cooked by your aunts. There are not only noodles but also meat in them, but it is hard to eat during Chinese New Year. Good stuff."

"Thank you, aunt." The two little girls said at the same time.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, or the noodles will be lumpy."

When Dehuan ate the noodles, her face was full of joy, and she thought it was the best thing she had ever eaten. Her sister Dele ate two mouthfuls of noodles, and her eyes were slightly red.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Lingbao asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh, what are you crying about?" Zhao Cuilan said displeased, "It's unlucky, wipe away your tears quickly, you child really don't have a good life, you shed tears after eating such good food, no wonder you look bitter Mutually."

"Sister-in-law, why are you talking about the child like that?"

Facing her husband's sister's questioning, Zhao Cuilan explained: "I just think it's unlucky to cry."

"If you want to talk about crying, your eldest granddaughter didn't know how loudly she cried just now, my ears were almost deafened by her, and I didn't see you saying it was unlucky," Shen Su'e said, "It's not good to be so biased. "
