Chapter 215 Showing Off
The aunt took Zhang Caihe to the bathroom, took off the shower head, taught her how to use it, pointed to the location of the washing powder and shoe brush, and then went out.
Zhang Caihe bent over, rubbed his feet vigorously, and sighed: This person is different from other people. They have difficulty eating water, but others can use so much water to wash their feet.
The water was free anyway, so she simply rolled up her trouser legs above her knees, took off the soap from the shelf, and smeared it back and forth on her legs dozens of times, removing the soap that she hadn’t seen in decades. The legs that had been exposed to water were also washed once.
She looked at the showerhead and thought: It would be so comfortable if she could take a bath.
It’s just that the aunt didn’t say that she shouldn’t make her own decisions, lest she annoy others.
She started squatting to wash shoes and socks.
Similarly, she put two large handfuls of washing powder on the uppers of her shoes and only washed her shoes until they were as good as new.
An hour later, she finally finished her work and came to the living room.
The aunt was watching TV. When she saw her coming out, she smiled and said, "Have you finished washing? The hair dryer is in the cabinet at the door of the bathroom. You can go and blow it later. It will dry it quickly. Come and have a rest first. ”
Zhang Caihe walked over and sat next to the aunt.
The aunt pushed the nut box on the coffee table towards her and said, "You can eat it."
Zhang Caihe couldn't help but swallowed, but still refrained from eating. , said: "Sister, you can eat, I'm not hungry."
"This is not a meal, just to pass the time." As the aunt said, she grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in Zhang Caihe's hand .
The two sat for a while, and the aunt asked: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local in our county. Where is your home?"
"I am from Guan Canyon. ."
Guan Canyon?
Auntie felt that this name was familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
“You just said that you came to the county to find your daughter and son-in-law, right?”
Zhang Caihe sighed and said, “Oh, yes, I feel blocked when I mention this. Panic, I don’t know what I did in my previous life to give birth to such a cruel thing.”
"Don't be so angry. What's going on?"
"My daughter and son-in-law are really nothing. Ever since they got married, they have been trying to find ways to ask me for money. A few days ago, my son-in-law asked me for money." I took 200 yuan here, and I agreed to turn it over and pay it back to me in three to five days, but it has been more than a month and there is no trace of the money at all.
I also have a young son. , I will be in my first year of junior high school soon. As you know, the tuition for junior high school is much more expensive than that of primary school. I really had no choice, so I came to them. They kept refusing to give me anything, and I didn’t want to ask for more. I just wanted to I asked for 50 yuan to prepare my son’s tuition fees, but they kicked me out.”
As he spoke, Zhang Caihe sniffed hard and squeezed out some tears.
The aunt frowned and said: "This is too outrageous. We are already married. It doesn't matter if we don't help our parents' family. Why do we still take money from our parents' family? If I had known this, you should have paid more I want some gifts.”
Zhang Caihe wiped his eyes and said, “I think it’s my own birth. As long as they live well, I’ll be content.
Who knows. , they didn’t take me as their mother seriously at all. When she wanted to marry this man, she didn’t even let me get any gifts. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
Sister, I do too. I treat you as one of my own, so I can’t tell others what I’m saying.”
“Oh, don’t be sad, I’m just a mother, I can understand you. Don’t you have a son? Take good care of him and let him study hard. You can count on your son in the future.”
Zhang Caihe nodded and pretended to lift his clothes and wiped his eyes. "Sister, your life is better. Your children are very good to you, right?" As she said that, Zhang Caihe looked around the house, "Is this house bought for you by your children?"
"How should I put it? Like you, I also have a son and a daughter. If you say the doll is not good, they changed me to a bigger house, often gave me money, and even asked me to find a live-in nanny. .
Okay, both of them have settled in other provinces, and they don’t come back a few times a year. My husband left early, and most of the time, I am the only one at home, with no one to talk to. None."
Zhang Caihe originally wanted to explain that she had two daughters, but after thinking about it, she felt it was unnecessary. After all, she was not familiar with this aunt.
Hearing what the aunt said, Zhang Caihe felt a little more balanced.
Rich people also have troubles.
She is okay, at least her youngest son is by her side every day, and her Leilei is not far from her.
"So you asked me how the doll treats me, I really don't know." The aunt shook her head and stood up, "You haven't eaten yet, you watch TV first, I will cook for us ."
Zhang Caihe stood up quickly and said, "Sister, how can I do that? I have already troubled you enough, how can I still eat? Please teach me how to use the hair dryer. I will blow off the shoes and prepare them. Go back.”
“Oh, what’s the matter? It’s just a meal. I hope there’s always someone at home.”
Zhang Caihe moved and suddenly said: "Sister, do you want to eat potato pancakes?"
The aunt smiled and said: "I want to eat potato pancakes, they are something I only ate many years ago. , they are sold in the vegetable market, but they are not authentic. I want to make it myself, but I can’t lift my right arm and it’s hard to grind it.”
Zhang Caihe may not dare to say that he can make other meals. How powerful she is, but potato pancakes are her specialty.
She is not bragging, she dares to say that even if she does it with her eyes closed, she can make it taste better than others.
"Sister, let me make a meal for you. Where are the potatoes?"
The aunt hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Forget it, I don't have the nerve to trouble you so much."
"No trouble, no trouble, eldest sister, you treat me so well, why do I help you cook a meal? Where are the potatoes and grater?"
"They are all in the kitchen sink. I'll get it from the cabinet below."
"No, no, I'll just do it myself. Just sit and rest, it'll be fine in half an hour."
He said. , Zhang Caihe tucked her hair behind her ears, rolled up her sleeves quickly, and walked into the kitchen.
For people in this city, cooking is convenient, let alone water. There is a faucet above the pool, and a large amount of water can be used at will.
Although Zhang Caihe felt it was a bit wasteful, she also knew that rich people still pay great attention to hygiene. She did not need to pay the water bill anyway. She washed two large peeled potatoes several times. .
When she makes pancakes at home, unless Guan Lei is at home, she will only put a little bit of lard in, and is reluctant to use clear oil at all.
But today, because she had all the ingredients and the pan was easy to use, she was very handy. In a short while, she had prepared a thick stack of pancakes.
Then she fried another plate of shredded potatoes.
According to her experience, potato pancakes and potato shreds are a perfect match.
She brought the pancakes and shredded potatoes to the table.
