Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 115 It's New Year's Eve

Of course Shen Yunjin didn't want to go there, she muttered, "That's right, we really don't need to go, but if we don't go there at dinner time, my sister-in-law will definitely come over to invite us, what shall we say then?"

Li Yi's eyes fell on his feet, "That's simple, just say that I'm injured and can't go out, and you have to stay at home to take care of me, so it's not convenient for us to go over."

Mrs. Fang had already told about his injury. Dafang and Mrs. Xu should have heard about it, but Mrs. Fang didn't know how Li Yi was injured, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear that Shen Yunjin would blame him again to her.

As for the Xu family and Dafang, they would not take the initiative to visit Li Yi. When they heard that something had happened to Li Yi, they all avoided it and wished to stay far away. , others are not aware of Li Yi's injury.

"Well, let's just say that, they shouldn't be able to say anything more." Shen Yunjin nodded.

In the evening, the two of them stayed at home and did not go to Dafang to have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone. Xu and Dafang heard that Li Yi's foot was injured and it was difficult for him to walk, so they asked Li Yi to rest at home. rushed over.

In the big room, except for the third room, everyone else has arrived, and they all gathered in the west wing.The West Wing was not very big in the first place, and now that such a big family gathered, it would inevitably appear crowded.

Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner was cooked by Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Fang. They cooked a total of ten dishes, but among the ten dishes, only two were meat dishes, and the rest were vegetarian dishes and light soup.

During the dinner, Mrs. Xu kept a straight face and said nothing, obviously very unhappy.

Li Fugui looked at her and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with you, everyone is happy this New Year's Eve, why are you pulling your face? Could it be that you are angry because the third child didn't come over?"

"Why should I be angry if the third brother and the others don't come?" Xu was already suffocating, but at this moment she finally found an outlet, and shouted at Li Fugui, "The third son hurt his foot during the Chinese New Year. , I still think he is unlucky, it's just right that he doesn't come, and I save food if both of them don't come, why should I be angry for them?"

Li Fugui didn't understand, "What are you shouting, can you stop getting angry on such a good day, if I'm wrong, just tell us directly, why are you so angry? It's not because of Sanfang and the others, but who is it because of?"

"That's right, mother, don't just lose your temper. If you have something to say, just talk about it." Fang Shi who was on the side interjected unwillingly.

She also couldn't bear Xu's anger and cursing during the Chinese New Year, which made it impossible for her to have a peaceful meal.

However, Fang's words did not reduce Xu's anger, but added fuel to the fire, making Xu more energetic.

Mrs. Xu put the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", stared at Mrs. Fang, and snorted, "Second daughter-in-law, are you ashamed to say that why I am angry is not all because of your second wife?" ? Let me ask you, I asked you to buy me new year's goods, why didn't you buy everything I wanted?"

Previously, Mrs. Xu asked Erfang to be in charge of purchasing their new year's goods for this year. Later, she made a list for Fang, which clearly stated what new year's goods she wanted this year, and asked Erfang to buy according to the list. .

But when Fang saw the list, she was taken aback. The New Year's goods that Xu asked the couple to buy were not cheap, including not only beef and mutton, live chickens and ducks, but also some dried fruits, sweets and drinks. What's too much is that there are three boxes of rouge and a silver bracelet.

Even silver bracelets and rouge gouache can be considered New Year's goods?Xu obviously wanted to take the opportunity to kill Erfang, so Fang naturally couldn't accept it.

What's more, even if Fang wanted to buy all the new year's goods on the list, she didn't have the ability. She didn't have much money in her hand, so how could she afford so many things.

So in the end, she just bought some vegetables, some fruits, and a pack of pork and sent them to Mrs. Xu.

Of course, these few things are far from meeting Xu's requirements, how can Xu be satisfied.

"Mother, aren't you trying to embarrass us on purpose?" Fang retorted, "It's not that you don't know about our family's situation. We didn't have money in the first place, and now that Li Xian can't work, how can we afford it?" So many things?"

Mrs. Xu squinted at her, and said, "Have you really tried your best? Even if you can't buy all of them, it's not so much worse. Look at the dishes on the table today. There are only two dishes that are oily and watery. The food is all green vegetables, whose family is so shabby for Chinese New Year? If you didn’t buy me some New Year’s goods, why would I invite you to eat such shabby food?”

Fang pouted, "It would be nice to have two meat dishes. We are a poor family, and you still expect us to eat a table of big fish and meat. Who doesn't want to eat good ones, so do I, but buy You can’t help but make do with it, can’t you still live? If you think this food is not good, why don’t you pay for the meat yourself, don’t just point at us. "

Xu was so angry that she gave Fang a blank look, "Look at you, what are you talking about, you just want to anger me, right? You still have the nerve to eat vegetables, so you just know how to eat!"

Mrs. Fang didn't answer any more, and simply let Mrs. Xu scold her. She didn't bother to talk about it, and just cared about eating meat. After all, there were only two meat dishes in total. If she didn't eat quickly, the meat would be eaten soon. It's gone.

Although this New Year's Eve dinner is not rich, it is much stronger than usual anyway. Not only Fang, but Zhang and Li Ren are also wolfing down, putting meat into the bowl desperately, chewing hard. stop.

Li Fugui put a piece of meat into Xu's bowl, and persuaded, "Okay, calm down too, let's eat quickly."

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to stop scolding her, stopped and ate a few mouthfuls of food.

After a while, Li Xian of the second room suddenly pushed Fang Shi and asked Fang Shi to step aside.

Li Xian has recovered a bit. Although he is always sick and cannot be affected, at least he can walk and eat by himself.

"Why are you pushing me?" Fang was a little impatient. Ever since she found out that Li Xian couldn't work anymore, she disliked Li Xian a little.

Li Xian said in a low voice, "Can't you see what I mean? I told you to move a little to the side, you are squeezing me."

Sitting on Fang's right is Li Xian, and on the left is Zhang. Naturally, Zhang's fat body takes up a lot of space. Fang feels that Zhang is about to squeeze her flat, so there is no room next to her.

"Can't you see that I don't have any room here?" Fang said angrily, "The place is so small, if you find it too crowded, just stop eating."
