Life is a Game

In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, all the members of the Jiang family were pulled out of the bed by Grandma Jiang knocking on the door one by one, washed clean, dressed neatly, and carried large and small bags similar to glutinous rice balls, dumplings, glutinous rice lotus root, etc. , the family walked to Zhaojia Village mightily.

It might be because of the cold weather and everyone didn't want to delay too long on the road. It used to take Jiang Feng to walk for more than half an hour to Zhaojia Village, but this time it only took more than 20 minutes.

It was late in winter, and it was still dark when Jiang Feng and the others went out, and it was just dawn when they arrived at Zhaojia Village. A group of fat men in round clothes, well-armed and fully armed sneaked into the village without a sound, and swallowed the rooster that was about to crow at the entrance of the village so frightened that it even crowed.

Because Jiang Feng bent over to tie a shoelace before entering the village, he fell behind the main force, following behind like a little tail.

Because Jiang Zaide got up too early, he couldn't help yawning again and again, and he looked like he was not awake, just like a ghost who took money but was not dedicated to his job as an extra in the village.

"Grandma, we came so early, is sister Mei Mei really awake? Don't they say that pregnant women are lethargic?" Jiang Zaide couldn't help complaining.

"What do you know? Your sister Meimei wakes up very early every day, and usually only dozes off at mealtime." Grandma Jiang said in a low voice, she saw it from the corner of her eyes, she has been waking up very early and looks very fat , the hen that is diligently pecking in the grass.

"Jiankang, find out who owns this chicken, and see if you can buy it and stew it for Meimei's body." Grandma Jiang pointed to the chicken.

"Mom, there should be no shortage of hens in my uncle's house." Jiang Jianguo reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, I got used to it, and made a mistake. There hasn't been a pregnant woman in the family for many years, so I thought it was back then." Grandma Jiang slapped her head, "Oh, I'm getting old."

Because it was too early, my uncle and grandpa did not wait for Grandma Jiang and her party at the entrance of the village with a cane this time, but they still stubbornly waited for Grandma Jiang and her party at the door of the house with a cane.

Even though there were comfortable benches and a warm stove in the room, my uncle and grandpa insisted on standing at the door with a cane to blow the cold wind.

It is both stubbornness and love.

When visiting my uncle and grandpa's house for New Year's greetings, it is natural that Grandma Jiang will take the lead. Grandma Jiang has mutton dumplings in her left hand and vegetarian dumplings in her right hand. Her husband is on her left and her eldest son is on her right. Behind her are a group of sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, grandchildren, and a mighty group. letter.

"Brother, what are you doing standing at the door in this cold weather? Hurry up and go into the house, this bag is for Meimei to eat, this bag of vegetarian dumplings is for you, there are glutinous rice balls in Xiaofeng's place I just made it yesterday afternoon. Isn’t it that Mei Mei has a bad appetite and wants to eat sweets? My second child said that pregnant women should not eat too much sweets, saying that if they eat too much, they will get something, some sugar, but it’s okay to eat a little. Mei Is Mei awake? If she wakes up, let Xiaofeng cook a small bowl of glutinous rice balls for Meimei." Grandma Jiang didn't even give her uncle a chance to speak, and arranged everything properly by chirping and chirping as soon as she came up.

"Xiaofeng. Where's Xiaofeng? My child, why did you run to the end? Hurry up and give the glutinous rice balls to your uncle and grandpa." Grandma Jiang said loudly.

Jiang Feng hurriedly squeezed from the back to the front, and handed the glutinous rice balls to his uncle with a smile.

Uncle and grandpa smiled and said: "Jiang Feng is here too. I didn't see you just now and thought you were busy. Why do you look thinner? And Chengcheng, Chengcheng looks thinner, alas, but why not?" She's lost weight. Zaide is not bad, and she's stronger. Junqing Junlian has also come, and she's grown into a big girl, and my uncle and grandpa almost didn't recognize her."

The uncle squinted his eyes and used his presbyopic eyes to look at every junior in the Jiang family before turning around and leading everyone in.

"Brother, is Meimei awake? If so, ask Xiaofeng to cook glutinous rice balls for Meimei first." Grandma Jiang knew that her brother's ears and memory were bad due to his age, so she repeated the question again.

"I woke up, I'm eating breakfast. I don't need to cook glutinous rice balls. Meimei wakes up like me every morning. It's fine before dawn. At noon and at night, I feel sleepy when I eat. I don't know what's wrong." Granduncle complained.

"By the way, you came just in time. There is still stew in the kitchen, which is warming up. I see that Xiaofeng and the others have lost a lot of weight. It must be because they worked too hard outside and didn't eat well, just like Meimei. When I came to my uncle's house, I let go of my stomach to eat, and after I finished eating, let your aunt stew it for you, and I will ask Tian Lin to serve Xiaofeng and the others stewed meat."

Jiang Feng, who walked in the front and heard the most clearly, almost staggered to salute his uncle.

"Oh, Xiaofeng, what's the matter? Did he walk unsteadily or was tripped? Could it be that he came out in the morning and didn't eat breakfast and was hungry? Don't worry, uncle and grandpa will ask aunt to serve you two bowls later. Stew, eat more!" The uncle and grandpa looked worried.

Jiang Feng: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Jiang Feng didn't expect to face such a severe challenge as soon as he stepped into the door. Seeing that his uncle was going to call his aunt Tian Lin enthusiastically, Jiang Feng blurted out on the spot in order to hold his uncle back: "Grandpa, the stew will be served later." Eat, since Sister Meimei is awake, let's go see Sister Meimei first!"

It was so loud that it filled the entire lobby.

The other juniors of the Jiang family followed behind with their heads bowed and sleepy: (°Д°≡°Д°)

stew? !

What stew? !

Where is the stew? !

The drowsy person was instantly chased away by the horrible stew at the uncle's house.

"Xiaofeng misses you, sister Meimei. That's right, Xiaofeng probably hasn't seen Meimei for several years, right? I remember that Meimei liked you the most. Every time she ate, she would put the fat in it. I'll eat it for you." The uncle and grandpa said with a smile and pointed, "Sister Meimei is in that room."

Jiang Feng didn't even have time to put down the glutinous rice balls, so he carried the bag and walked to the front room.

Jiang Zaide and others, who were confused about the situation, hurriedly followed in order to avoid the stew.

As soon as he opened the door and saw the scene in front of him, Jiang Feng almost burst into tears.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and I saw Zhao Mei lying on the bed with loose hair, wearing a thick sweater on the upper body, and the quilt covered her chest. Her hair looked oily, and she probably hadn't washed it for a few days.

Because of her pregnancy, Zhao Mei's round face looked a lot smoother, and her cheeks were still flushed. Tian Lin was sitting by the bed, holding a bowl in her hand, talking to Zhao Mei.

The room is very warm, the air conditioner is turned on, the humidifier is working tirelessly in the corner, and the windows are half open for ventilation.

It is a very warm scene. Many children who don’t go home all the year round and work in other places will probably involuntarily show a smile from the heart when they see this scene, but Jiang Feng and others who know the inside story can only involuntarily flow from their hearts when they see this scene tears.

Tian Lin held a bowl of stewed meat in her hand.

A bowl of white, no green onion, no soy sauce, pure natural and pollution-free, very fatty, Jiang Feng can clearly see the big chunks of fat stew on the top from several meters away.

"Meimei, you are due to give birth next month, eat a little bit. This early in the morning, I have no appetite and can't eat. Look at you, how much weight you have lost in the past few days. If you continue like this, you will lose weight." What's the matter? Didn't you like to eat the stewed meat that your mother made for you when you were young? You see, today, my mother woke up early in the morning to give you stewed meat. She woke up at 3 o'clock, so you can eat as much as you like." Tian Lin looked worried.

Jiang Feng and others: ...

"Mom, put it here first, I'll eat it myself later. I really don't have an appetite when I wake up, and it's not good to eat it in such a greasy morning. You can cook me a bowl of noodles, maybe I will have an appetite for noodles." Zhao Mei persuaded gently, "It seems to be Xiaofeng and the others at the door, the third grandma and the others are here, you go out and greet them."

Tian Lin was moved by Zhao Mei's words, she put down the bowl, turned to Jiang Feng and the others and said, "You are here to see Meimei, you just happened to be here to talk to him and urge her to eat this bowl of stewed meat. I will first Go out, there is still stew in the pot, when you come out, aunt will make a bowl for each of you."

After Tian Lin said this, everyone wanted to take root here and never go out again.

"Sister Meimei." Jiang Feng walked in, put down the bag of glutinous rice balls, found a chair and sat down.

There are not enough chairs in the room. Everyone who has chairs sits on chairs, and those who don't have chairs sit by the bed. This small room is completely blocked.

Because we hadn't seen each other for too long, everyone couldn't say anything for a while. Everyone present except Jiang Feng had been beaten by Zhao Mei, so they had a natural sense of awe towards Zhao Mei.

Just when everyone was thinking about what to say, the door opened suddenly, and a strange man poked his head out.

Zhao Mei's eyes lit up when she saw this strange man, and she immediately became energetic: "Husband, where are the buns? My mother probably went to the kitchen to boil water."

"Here." Zhao Mei's husband hurriedly took out five steamed buns from his coat pocket, before he even had time to look at Jiang Feng and the others, he walked up to Zhao Mei and stuffed the steamed stuffed buns to her.

Zhao Mei took the buns and started to gobble them up, racing against time.

Jiang Feng and others: ...

It doesn't look like you have no appetite at all.
