Chapter 439 Values
When Ma Boqian's old friends met, they were so excited that they burst into tears, but when Lu Xiaole's mother and daughter met, they were far less excited than that.
It’s not that women are not enthusiastic about their daughters, but that Lu Xiaole feels uncomfortable since he entered the house.
The conditions here are not good. On the contrary, the mother's home is much better than her home in Liushuzhuang, both in accommodation and decoration. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is magnificent.
Ma Xiaoyan's mother lives not in the city, but in a town between the provincial capital and Chen City. Although it is a town, it is much more prosperous than the Sijia Market Town and even the county town.
But here I can't give the kind of thing Lu Xiaole wants.
Now Lu Xiaole is sitting on the long table at home, and the Western-style long table is divided into primary and secondary as well as family status.
Lu Xiaole was eating while her mother was sitting in the main seat. Next to her was Lu Xiaole's stepfather, next to her was Lu Xiaole's stepfather's mother, and on Lu Xiaole's left hand were her two younger brothers, one ten years old and the other eight years old.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very tense because her mother was coaching her stepfather, and her stepfather was lowering her head and responding uncontrollably. In Lu Xiaole's eyes, the stepfather was now like a turtle with his head shrank, while his mother was a tiger with teeth and claws on her face.
"You said you can do something? You can't do such a small thing well. You are such a waste. You don't know that Director Li..." Lu Xiaole's mother kept scolding her.
Lu Xiaole felt uncomfortable all over his body. How could this rice taste like?
Waiting for the woman to be tired of scolding, I saw Lu Xiaole in a blink of an eye. The woman squeezed a smile from her face: "Xiaole, why do you eat so little? Is the food not suitable for the taste?"
"Mama Li, Mama Li! I'll cook another fish for Xiaole. It's too light. I need to braised it. Xiaole can't eat Cantonese cuisine." The woman shouted loudly.
Li's mother hurriedly ran out of the kitchen: "Madam, there is no fish at home..."
"If you don't have one, go buy it. Why are the fishmongers dead?" the woman said angrily.
Ma Li said nothing.
Lu Xiaole hurriedly said, "No, no, I originally had less food, so I didn't have to work hard."
The woman looked at Li's mother and opened her mouth, "What? I haven't gone yet, my words don't work, right?"
Li's mother hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go now!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the restaurant with a trot.
Lu Xiaole opened his mouth and said to his mother: "It's really no need, I'm almost full."
"A girl of this big age is just when she grows up. How can I not eat more? Wait, be good, Mom Li will come back later to make braised fish for you. The tastes in Guangdong are different from our hometown. The dishes here are light and not to your taste. I understand that it has been in the past two years since I came here and gradually adapted to the dishes here. You must be unacceptable to them..."
The woman said it like a machine gun for a while.
In fact, Lu Xiaole is not used to the taste of Cantonese cuisine. As one of the eight major cuisines, Cantonese cuisine can adapt to the tastes of most Chinese people and is also exquisitely made.
Just eat for someone to eat, and eat with people who can’t talk to, the delicacies of mountains and seas are the same as chewing wax. With friends, even if you just take cucumbers and mix them with tomatoes, you can still enjoy it.
But now, Lu Xiaole listened to his mother's high and above and shouted at her stepfather and his mother as if she was treating her servants. Lu Xiaole could be said to be feeling uncomfortable.
Such a thing is impossible to happen in Liushu Village, because Liushu Village has rules, and elders are elders. You can complain behind your back, but you can't be too stubborn. If you treat your mother-in-law like a mother, if you get slapped in Liushu Village, this is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
For example, some young wives just got married and brought some of the habits outside to Liushuzhuang. Even if their parents-in-law have a good temper and their husbands don’t care, their cousins will not watch it. Once they have been slapped, they will be honest and divorced in a dishonest way. Finding another man in Liushuzhuang is not a problem at all.
This does not mean that the wife can’t do anything. If the old man does something wrong, he will naturally be scolded by the elders in the village. A junior pointed at the elders’ nose and scolded him. How could that work?
But now, right in front of me, my mother was still scolding her mother-in-law like a grandson, and she didn't dare to say anything, which made Lu Xiaole a little unacceptable. Such a scene shouldn't have happened in her education.
When Lu Xiaole came, he thought everything was so good.
The mother she imagined was gentle and kind. Even when she abandoned her sisters, Lu Xiaole found all the reasons for her to make sense in her heart, but now she finally understood what her sister said: She only loves herself, and it doesn't matter to her who except herself.
At this moment, Lu Xiaole suddenly missed homesome. Thinking of himself, his sister and father surrounded an ordinary small square table, with vegetables picked from the vegetable garden at the door on the table. The family of three was eating while talking and laughing. His father would occasionally put a piece of lean meat into his bowl, and his sister would also ask him to eat more vegetables.
Although the small table is small, there are not many dishes and the style is not fashionable, the atmosphere on the table is far better than here.
"I'll take you to buy clothes in the afternoon. What's the name of it now? A big girl from every family. Your mother is not without money. We buy it with famous brands. You said your father is like a person. I know he makes money. Liushuzhuang is rich now, but he doesn't even buy a decent piece of clothes for his children. What's the life he's living here?" said the woman.
Lu Xiaole was a little unhappy and said, "It's not that my dad didn't buy it for me, but our village doesn't have this habit. Uncle Sangbai has big shorts and shirts. Who can be richer than his family? And people in our village think that spending so much money to buy these things is not worth it..."
Lu Xiaole's words choked the woman a little because in her perception, as long as it is a famous brand, there is nothing that women don't like. If you can sleep with a brand-name clothes outside, you can sleep with a big girl, and she has not lived in one or two.
So in her mind, famous brands are sacred. She said that she doesn’t care about famous brands, and other things. Apart from poor coins, they are poor coins that require face. They don’t want to have one, but they really can’t afford it. A bag can be worth their half-year income, and they buy nothing.
But now Lu Xiaole's words made her unable to refute that people in Liucun can afford it, and every company can afford it. From the mouths of her parents and brothers, she knew that the wealth of Liushuzhuang was enough to make them worry about food and clothing in a year, not to mention that each company now has industries outside. The village also has an industrial park in the county town. Although it is a small industry such as doors, windows and furniture, she has also heard of the brand reputation.
I don’t like buying it, but I can only say that the environment I live in is not as impetuous as the outside society.
"It's better to buy some, even if you accompany your mother to go shopping and relax," the woman said.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaole nodded.
Putting down the chopsticks, Lu Xiaole said to his mother and everyone on the table: "I've finished eating, you guys can use it slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and gently pushed the chair away. Before leaving, he pushed the chair to the table.
"This child eats too little," said the old woman sitting at the table with a shameful face to please her daughter-in-law.
The old lady didn't seem to be kind to Lu Xiaole on the surface. Not only did she dislike Lu Xiaole or even hated her. In her heart, Lu Xiaole came over and robbed her two grandsons of her money. She used to split up her family property and suddenly had this thing. She wanted Lu Xiaole to be hit and killed by a car when she went out. It's not an exaggeration at all. That's what the old lady thought, and she had cursed her heart no less than ten times in the past two days.
The woman said lightly: "The dish is not up to the taste, so the dish tastes stronger when I come back in the evening."
"Okay, the child must eat white and fat when he comes!" the old woman said with a smile, with a kind face.
I have to say that every member of this family is an actor and a person who lives wearing a mask. The only person he doesn't bring is a woman, because this family is her kingdom.
In this way, the whole family finished their meal one after another.
Lu Xiaole stayed in the room, doing nothing and didn't know what to do, so he decided to go for exercise. After changing his clothes, he came to the exercise room downstairs. Lu Xiaole first trotted on the treadmill and trotted for a while.
While running, she saw her stepfather coming. The two of them greeted her and Lu Xiaole continued to run. However, she soon found that her stepfather would secretly look at her chest and thighs from time to time, which made her very uncomfortable. So after running halfway, she stopped the treadmill and turned to go back to her room.
But when he met her half-brother on the way, the little guy opened his mouth and gave him enough.
"You Beigu, come to your house to share my brother's property!"
A child who is only ten years old is so annoying, it really perfectly inherits the genes of his parents.
Lu Xiaole naturally knew what kind of name Beigu was. She had been to Hong Kong City, but she didn't care because she also looked down on such people.
Lu Xiaole smiled faintly and said nothing, turned around and went back to his room to take a shower, and changed into refreshing clothes.
As soon as the woman changed her clothes, she came in and pulled Lu Xiaole out of the door, got in the car and headed straight for the mall. She was not going to the mall in the town, but to the central part of Guangdong City.
"Why don't you buy it in the town?" Lu Xiaole asked immediately when he saw the car leaving the town.
The woman smiled and said, "What good things are in the town? They are all bought for workers. We can buy clothes there and lose more. Let's go to Guangdong City. They have all the famous brands there, all of which are world-class, such as LV, Gucci, etc., and it's fake here, and it's not embarrassing enough to wear them."
Lu Xiaole was a little helpless when his mother said, and she thought to herself: You are also poor and useless. Why do you look down on these people now when you have money?
After arriving at the best shopping mall in Guangdong City, the woman took Lu Xiaole to visit.
Lu Xiaole directly ignored the prosperity of this mall because she had visited Tokyo in Japan, Paris in France, and New York in the United States. The world she had seen determined that she would not be as curious as a country girl.
Liucun invests a lot of education funds on children, which not only learns knowledge from books, but also broadens children's horizons and allows them to maintain their personality independence in a world of material desires.
