After the meal, everyone smacked their lips, not intentionally, but simply to savor the fragrance in their mouths.
Even Zhan Chunying, who was very dissatisfied with Tang Qiyue, found it difficult to find fault with her at this time.
"Aunt, are all the meals in your house so delicious?"
My eldest nephew is young after all, and is in the period of having a hundred thousand questions, so I couldn't help but ask.
Tang Qiyue shook her head: "My family doesn't eat meat every day, but my grandfather's ancestors were royal chefs and left behind a lot of recipes. I usually look through them when I have nothing to do. Today is the first time I've cooked!"
The whole family couldn’t believe it. It was so delicious the first time. How much more delicious would it be if you practiced every day?
Even the vegetables that are usually hard to swallow seem particularly delicious to my nephew. They don’t have much oil or water, and only have a little salt added, but they are a hundred times more delicious than those cooked by his mother.
After conquering the stomachs of the whole family, Tang Qiuyue, the new daughter-in-law, finally passed the first hurdle.
Tang Qiyue stood up to clean the dishes but was stopped by Zhan's mother. She glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and Zhan Chunying and said, "You two go wash the dishes!"
Although the eldest daughter-in-law felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything. She put on a stiff face and pulled Zhan Chunying to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
For a moment, Tang Qiyue didn't know what to do. In her two lifetimes, she had never had the experience of being someone else's daughter-in-law. She looked at Zhan Zeye for help.
Zhan Zeye didn't respond to her, but instead mentioned something to Zhan's mother: "Mom, I only have three days of vacation this time. I've got the housing application over there, would you like to come and live with me for a while?"
Zhan Da Ge, who had been sitting hunched over, immediately stood up and said, "Second Brother, what are you doing? I'm not even dead yet, and you're taking our mother away. Won't that just make the neighbors stab me in the back?"
It is a universally recognized rule that the eldest son takes care of the elderly. Although Brother Zhan has no special abilities, he is filial at heart and values his reputation the most.
When he married a wife, the family savings were emptied. In order to save food, Zhan Zeye secretly joined the army and left home. He felt guilty and blamed himself. Fortunately, Zhan Zeye was capable. Not only did he not die on the battlefield, he also made military merits and is now an officer.
After finally surviving the famine, life at home is a little better now. With the money sent back by Zhan Zeye, the family has long escaped from the state of hunger. If he sends his mother away, he will be despised by his relatives in the future.
Zhan Zeye looked at his elder brother whose face turned red with anxiety. He really didn't think so much. He just wanted to take his mother to his place to live a good life. At least there was a cafeteria and his mother could eat better.
"Brother, I'm just taking our mother to live with me for a while. She's not staying there forever. Now I don't have to go on missions every day. I just need to lead the troops and spend time with my mother!"
Zhan Zeye is truly filial and what he says is sincere, but his elder brother Zhan disagrees.
Brother Zhan, who was always not good at speaking, yelled, "Don't give me that! It's not like you just gave birth to a baby and need my mother to help take care of it. Don't even think about snatching me away!"
Zhan Zeye: ...
Tang Qiyue was stunned watching from the side. For the first time, she realized that not every family had the same indifferent family affection as hers. It turned out that brothers would fight over where their mother lived.
Mother Zhan couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table, "Enough, I'm not old yet, what are you two brothers fighting about!"
Zhan's mother glanced at her anxious eldest son, glared at him unhappily, and then said to Zhan Zeye: "Xiaoye, I know you want to be filial, but I'm used to living here. If I suddenly move to another place and have no one to chat with, won't I be suffocated to death?"
Zhan Zeye lowered his head. It was true that he had not thought about this question.
"Besides, now that you're married, you have to bring your wife with you even if you go with the army. I'll be happy if you two live a good life!"
Mother Zhan grabbed Tang Qiyue's hand and patted the back of her hand with a smile.
Tang Qiyue felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, Zhan's mother was still uncomfortable with the fact that Tang Qiyue was the daughter of a capitalist family, but after today's meal, she was completely relieved.
It is said that marrying a man provides clothing and food, and marrying a wife is the same, except that she just needs to take care of the household and have a hot meal.
Tang Qiyue looked at the girl who looked delicate and cheerful, not like a big-boned girl. She had seen her cooking skills. Her youngest son, who always poured food into his mouth, was much more polite today, but he didn't even stop using his chopsticks.
At least they have caught the appetite of their youngest son, so there is no need to worry about any problems in the relationship between the couple.
Zhan's mother didn't want to disturb the couple's relationship. If Tang Qiyue and her youngest son broke up because of her as a mother-in-law, who would want a man who was already injured and couldn't have children?
Mother Zhan thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't leave with her youngest son.
Zhan Zeye wanted to persuade his mother, but he saw his elder sister-in-law and younger sister returning to the house, so Zhan's mother directly talked about another matter.
"Okay, now sit down and talk about the division of the family!"
Everyone was shocked when Zhan's mother suddenly mentioned the division of the family.
It is said that only families with poor relationships among brothers will split up after their last son gets married. However, it seems that the Zhan brothers do not have a bad relationship.
Seeing Tang Qiyue's puzzled expression and her eldest daughter-in-law's pale face, Zhan's mother said directly, "Your father passed away early, and I raised you three siblings. You three siblings are all aware of the situation at home, right?"
The Zhan brothers and sisters nodded.
Their father died of illness. In order to pay for Zhan's father's medical treatment, the family was completely drained. Even the coffin for Zhan's father was bought with borrowed money.
"Now that Xiao Ye has married, he will definitely have to support her in the future. It would be unreasonable to send his salary back. Do you think this is the case, eldest daughter-in-law?"
Mother Zhan stared at her eldest daughter-in-law.
She knew the little thoughts of her eldest daughter-in-law. She had been thinking about her youngest son's money over the years, both openly and secretly. Fortunately, she was not confused and never thought of giving all the money to her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mom, you're right!"
The eldest daughter-in-law smiled awkwardly, but her expression was extremely ugly.
Zhan's mother didn't indulge her and continued, "Logically speaking, Chunying hasn't married yet, so I shouldn't be so quick to propose a division. But Xiaoye rarely comes home once a year, and we don't know when she'll be back next time. Anyway, I've almost saved up enough for Chunying's dowry, so I won't treat her unfairly in the future. Let's divide this family!"
Zhan Zeye had no objection. He had been alone before, and there was no guarantee that he would have two people in the future, but since his mother wanted to split up the family, he cooperated.
Brother Zhan opened his mouth, but when he thought about his younger brother's life and death over the years, he didn't have the face to say that he would not split the family.
"Mom, I'll do whatever you say!"
Brother Zhan spoke, and Zhan Zeye nodded.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law's opinion, you can completely ignore it.
Only Tang Qiuyue raised a question.
