Chapter 6 Did you not boil water?
Widow Xie woke up early in the morning. Even though Wang Xiushu had already prepared breakfast and waited, she still had eyes and nose not nose when she looked at Wang Xiushu.
It happened to see that Wang Xiushu was still wiping his face with the water, which had not been poured out, and was embarrassed.
Wang Xiushu was completely deaf and silent, preparing to warm himself up with some hot porridge in the stove.
Widow Xie is a mean. These Wang Xiushu only understood it after he died.
Xie widow used to forbid her to use hot water, saying that it was Fei Chaihuo. To please her mother-in-law Wang Xiushu, she used cold water to wash her face in the cold winter.
But now Wang Xiushu can see it clearly. On the contrary, it feels funny to be forbearing everywhere in the past. This Xie family’s firewood was picked up by her Wang Xiushu, so what if it took some boiled hot water to wash it?
Widow Xie didn’t know that Wang Xiushu’s heart was already thinking about it a few times back and forth, and she glanced at Wang Xiushu in the kitchen room with a little disgust, and she should be cowardly and afraid of speaking.
Wang Xiushu used breakfast first, and Xie Yuxiang hadn’t gotten up yet. In the past, Widow Xie used Xie’s widow to make breakfast. Wang Xiushu waited until Xie Yuxiang got up before eating together.
It’s just that Widow Xie only allows her to cook two handfuls of brown rice a day. Widow Xie is a big appetizer. She already has more than half of it. When Xie Yuxiang goes to a bowl, the remaining Wang Xiushu can eat only half a bowl. I’m full.
“Sister-in-law, why is there no hot water! Didn’t you boil water today? Don’t you know that I use hot water every day when I get up?”
After Wang Xiushu had eaten the porridge, he went back to the house first, and Xie Yuxiang’s shrill voice came from outside before a long time.
Wang Xiushu paused, but didn’t say a word. He continued the needlework in his hand. As expected, Wang Xiushu listened to the gradual steps outside to express his opinions.
The visitor should be very angry, pushing the door extremely fiercely, and the cold wind from outside followed in, and Wang Xiushu shrank her neck. It’s really cold!
“Sister, you are up, breakfast is warm in the pot, go and eat it, it will be cold when you look back carefully.”
Wang Xiushu raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yuxiang, who was standing at the door with dissatisfaction, and said to Xie Yuxiang innocently.
“Sister-in-law, you didn’t boil water today?”
Xie Yuxiang glanced at Wang Xiushu holding the half-worn clothes that were being stitched in his hands, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he naturally instructed: “When did your broken clothes fail to be sewn? Why is it time-consuming early in the morning? Do it, you go to the stove to make a hot pot of water, I haven’t combed my hair yet!”
Xu is accustomed to domineering, or Xie Yuxiang has never treated Wang Xiushu as a sister-in-law, and even after Wang Xiushu disagrees, he turned back to the house.
Wang Xiushu glanced at the door of the house that was opened wide by Xie Yuxiang, put down the work in his hand, got up, walked to the two doors in front of the door and covered it, then went back to sit down and picked up the clothes to continue sewing.
Xie Yuxiang didn’t comb her hair, but she just made an excuse to deal with Wang Xiushu. He didn’t retreat to the room and waited for a quarter of an hour before he came out slowly. When he went to the kitchen room, he saw that Wang Xiushu hadn’t boiled the water. , The temper came up, and angrily went to push Wang Xiushu’s door.
This time Xie Yuxiang was angry, and the door of the room was muffled by her pushing.
However, Wang Xiushu raised his head and glanced at Xie Yuxiang, “Sister, close the door, the wind is strange outside.”
Xie Yuxiang was annoyed by Wang Xiushu’s plain appearance, and rolled her eyes, “Sister-in-law, do you know the frozen people outside? Why don’t you go if I tell you to boil the water? Do you want that cold water to freeze me to death!”
“Sister, what are you talking about?” Wang Xiushu was surprised, “Why would I think that, I also have to boil water in the morning, but mother said that the water from the well can be used, so don’t waste wood to boil the water. You know the temperament of your mother, how can I dare to disobey your mother!” Wang Xiushu said with embarrassment.
“You!” Xie Yuxiang was embarrassed, “That’s you can’t use it. You don’t know if I use warm water every day for freshening up. Just burn my hot water.”
Can’t help but expose your emotions?
When Wang Xiushu heard the corners of her mouth pursing in a shallow arc, her tone was slow: “Little girl, your sister-in-law who just said that doesn’t like to listen. Why do you call me like you? You can boil hot water and use me. Want to use cold water? Could it be that you didn’t think of me as a family? Or look down on me?”
“you!”
Xie Yuxiang became irritated, “You are talking nonsense! I just told you to boil hot water, why is it so talkative! The left is just that you don’t want to boil water for me, so why use your mother to prevaricate me.”
Wang Xiushu, who was obedient to her on weekdays, suddenly turned her faceless, Xie Yuxiang was not very embarrassed.
Speaking fiercely, he waved away again, hoping to wait for Widow Xie to come back and give Wang Xiushu an eyedrop, not afraid that Wang Xiushu would not have good fruit.
Wang Xiushu was in the room, listening to the big movement from the stove outside, it was estimated that Xie Yuxiang had made a fire on her own, as if he had yelled a few more words, and said that Wang Xiushu hadn’t left breakfast for her.
At about noon, Wang Xiushu just came out of the house to cook dinner. Not long after, Xie Widow also returned from outside. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, there is no work in the fields. This time is the most leisure time of the country people in the year. , It’s no thanks to the widow that she rushed to the door after breakfast.
“Mother, I am eating very much today. Go and see if the rice is cooked. I’m so hungry. I haven’t had breakfast.”
Wang Xiushu was making a fire and cooking, but he listened to the conversation between Xie Yuxiang and Widow Xie, as if he wanted to talk to her, and deliberately raised his voice.
Widow Xie really did what Xie Yuxiang said, “Why didn’t you eat well?”
Xie’s family has one son and one daughter. Xie Zurong is a student who knows how to study and will take the imperial examination in the future. Widow Xie puts all her hopes on Xie Zurong.
The daughter of Xie Yuxiang is very fond. She thinks that after Xie Zurong got the champion, Xie Yuxiang, the younger sister, is also the wife of the official family, and she only raises Xie Yuxiang as a young lady on weekdays.
“Isn’t it enough for breakfast?” Xie Yuxiang complained, “Mother, why don’t you allow your sister-in-law to boil me hot water in the morning? It made me use cold water to scrub, and when I watched my hand, the frozen hands are still red now. Now!”
“How can I burn less? When I ate in the morning, I looked at the amount and it was no less than the previous few days!” Widow Xie’s voice is much sharper than that of Xie Yuxiang. You can also think of Widow Xie when she said this when she looked at Wang Xiushu. child.
“I ate it in the morning. It’s because my mother hasn’t paid much attention to it. If the little girl didn’t eat it, I will cook more.”
Wang Xiushu came out of the kitchen room with steaming vegetables in his hands. He glanced at the mother and daughter and said lightly, “The rice is ready, my little sister, you are hungry, you can eat.”
Wang Xiushu said that he would go to the main room with the vegetables. Generally, farmers usually eat in the kitchen room, but the Xie’s kitchen room was later set up. The narrow and small space cannot accommodate a dining table, so they always eat in the main room. It was used in the yard, and it was cool.
