Sister Chen stayed in the hospital for two days and was taken home after two days.
Chen's mother is now very free, so she helps Wu Afang take care of her grandson. So when she heard that a baby was born, although her eldest sister-in-law's niece from her husband's side went over to help, Chen's mother still had to go to the city to take care of the baby.
My daughter is this age now.
"Guangguang, you are so beautiful. You little brat ran around everywhere and I don't know where you went after a while." Chen's mother said to Wu Afang.
"Okay." Wu Afang nodded and packed a lot of things for them to take into the city.
"Except for the eggs and two chickens, don't take anything else. Your aunt has everything, and you can't treat her badly." said Chen's mother.
The next day, Chen's mother came into the city.
Come to Chen Rou's grocery store first. Chen Rou and Han Guobin are both there.
Chen Rou said, "You brought this basket of eggs all the way here, and this chicken. It would be different if you just went to the city and bought them."
Mother Chen smiled and said, "I came here by car anyway, how can I be tired? How is your fourth sister?"
"Everything is fine. Her niece is called Xiaoxue. I've seen her. She's very capable and her family doesn't need her brother-in-law anymore. My fourth sister asked my brother-in-law to open a shop again." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"It's just confinement, there's no need to close the shop. We have to open it even if no one comes to help." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou said, "My brother-in-law loves my sister. He was afraid that my sister would be bored during her confinement, so he went to the furniture store and bought a TV for my sister to pass the time. My sister scolded him."
Mother Chen was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Your sister is just like that. It's not like she can't afford it now, so just buy it."
"She was quite angry when she bought it, but after I saw she was really happy about it." Chen Rou said.
Chen's mother said, "You can watch TV, but you can't watch it for too long. You're in confinement now, and your eyes will be damaged."
"My sister is well aware of this. She is even reluctant to pay the electricity bill," said Chen Rou.
Chen Rou is going to visit her sister in the afternoon, so Chen's mother doesn't need to rush and can just wait to go together.
This was the first time that Chen's mother went to the city this year. Whenever Chen Rou sent something back, she would ask a freight tractor to deliver it.
She just asked about things in the village, her third brother, and her nephews.
As for your parents, you don't have to worry. They just check on them every month and they're doing fine.
Naturally, the others didn't have to worry about it either. He said, "When Yutou and Leizi were little, they didn't feel anything. They grew up together like that. But now it's Guangguang's turn. It's really unbearable. There's no peace."
"It's time for everyone to leave, right?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"He can walk. He learned to walk at twelve months old. Now he walks very fluently and can disappear in the blink of an eye. If I watch him all day, I won't be able to do anything." said Chen's mother.
"Then mother, if you go to the city, will my third sister-in-law be able to handle it?" Chen Rou said.
"He can still handle the work. You can ask your third brother to take him to the oil press. His personality is just like your third brother's. He likes lively places and goes wherever there is a lot of activity. When he sees everyone peeling peanuts, he also likes to join in, but he doesn't make any noise." Mother Chen said with a smile.
After that, he continued, "I originally thought that Guangguang was the youngest in our Chen family, but I didn't expect that your sister and your brother-in-law were both capable. They didn't have children when they were young, but now they are old enough to give birth to a pearl."
"That's right. I'm so envious." Han Guobin said.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "Don't be envious. You two gave birth to four children, all of them are good seedlings. People should envy you."
"Then the brothers An Wen and An Wu are not good seedlings. They will be extraordinary in the future." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Mother Chen was naturally happy. How could she not be happy since her two daughters' grandchildren were both promising?
The grandchildren have a promising future, that is, none of the grandchildren of Old Chen's family have a promising future.
The third room, including the eldest brother Chen's family, the second brother Chen's family, including Lei Zi and Yu Tou, the third brother Chen's family, all stopped studying after junior high school.
Chen's father and mother also hope that their grandchildren will have a bright future, but it seems that the Chen family is not destined to be successful in that regard, and none of them is good at studying.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then train Guangguang well, it will be the same when he graduates."
She was helpless about her parents' family. They had advised her to study hard, but she didn't even finish high school.
It was her fourth sister who listened to her and used threats and inducements to make An Wen and An Wu study hard, and finally they passed the exam.
Although it is not a bad job in the countryside, I will not have much choice in the future and can only do the same for the rest of my life.
Of course, as long as she works hard, it's not bad. Her third brother treats her well.
Otherwise, why is the relationship between Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Ersao and the third wife much more harmonious now, and their own son is receiving the salary from his third uncle?
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Rou took some food home to cook.
The second child came back with Han Cheng and the fourth child. There was a cafeteria in the school, but the food was not as good as the food at home. Except for the initial excitement of going there to eat, they later lost interest in going to the cafeteria.
"As soon as I walked in and smelled the fragrance, I knew it must be my grandma coming." said the fourth child with a smile.
Mother Chen was happy to see her grandchildren. She took out the bag from her pocket and started taking out money.
"Grandma, we have our own." The second child laughed.
"That's right. We are so old now, how can we still take your money?" Han Cheng also said.
The fourth child didn't bother to be polite with his grandmother, and said, "You should accept the gift from grandma. Although you don't need this little money, my third uncle is rich now, and my grandma doesn't need this little money either. When you grow up and work hard, you can give it to me as a filial son."
"You are the only one who can take grandma's money with a clear conscience." Han Cheng said.
"That's right. She's my grandma. I can't get money from my grandparents, so naturally I want my grandma's money." said the fourth little one.
Chen's mother smiled and said, "You don't have to push it away if it's given by grandma. Use the five dollars per person to buy study materials, study hard and get into a good university. That's the greatest respect for grandma."
"Don't worry, grandma. They are all going to be university students and successors to socialism," said the fourth child.
Mother Chen was very amused.
The second child and Han Cheng went into the house. The second child did his homework while Han Cheng went into the kitchen to help her mother. The fourth child pulled his grandmother to sit down and chat with her.
After a while, Chen Rou put Han Guobin's food into the lunch box and said, "Old Four, take the food to your father, and the pork ribs and kelp soup, don't let it dry in the sun."
"Dad likes to eat kelp. Mom, can you give him a few more pieces?" The fourth child came over and said.
"Scoop it up." Chen Rou handed him two food boxes. The kelp was soaked and knotted to make pork ribs soup. It was nutritious and delicious, and Han Guobin liked it.
The fourth child went to bring food to his father, and then came back by himself. His family had just started eating, so he washed his hands and came over to eat together.
After finishing the meal and handing the dishes to the children, Chen Rou and her mother sat on the sofa to watch TV and rest.
The second child went to study with Chengzi, and the fourth child washed the dishes. Because of this task, Chen Rou gave him an extra three yuan in pocket money every month.
Although the fourth child doesn't like it at all, it's better than nothing.
Now the second brother has a lot of schoolwork to do, needless to say his sister, unless they are not at home, it is not his sister's turn, so he has to do it. But he is used to it and has no objection, because he has to wash even if he has no money.
"You all have grown up so much now. I told you to have more children, but you didn't listen. Don't you regret it now?" Mother Chen snorted as she looked at the fourth child who was washing dishes with his butt sticking out outside.
"What are you saying? Four is not enough now, right?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Four is not too many. In my opinion, even if you and Guobin have seven or eight children, it is not too many. Having more children will contribute to the country!" said Chen's mother.
"Mom, stop teasing me." Chen Rou laughed.
"What are you teasing me for? The way they are now, they will become pillars of society when they grow up. Isn't that contributing to the country?" said Chen's mother.
At the beginning, she had encouraged the more the better. After all, she could afford to raise them. The conditions in the village were not as good as her daughter's. But her daughter just didn't want to have more children.
Look at him now, he’s so big now, and it makes me feel comfortable.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "It's not that great, but if they can contribute to the country, Guo Bin and I will be proud of them."
But this is not enough. If she had too many children, she would not be able to take care of them. The fourth child was originally redundant. However, she never regretted having a fourth child.
If the baby comes, it is fate, so he must be born.
Little Lao Si finished washing the dishes outside and came in to chat with his mother and grandmother.
Chen Rou asked, "Have you asked your godfather for money recently?"
"No way, I never have to ask my godfather for money, he always gives me money himself," said the fourth child.
"When you go to Beijing next week, you must protect your sister Baozhu, your sister Yaoyao, and your sister." Chen Rou said again.
"That's definitely no problem, mom, don't worry. You've seen my nunchakus. Anyone who dares to offend me will be hit on the head with a bang!" said the fourth little one.
Mother Chen couldn't help but say, "Let the fourth child take the girls to Beijing? That won't work."
The fourth child was afraid that his grandmother would do something bad to him, so he quickly said, "Grandma, don't you see what grade I am in now? I am in the second semester of the fourth grade, and I am already in the fifth grade. My father said that when my eldest brother and second brother were this age, they were not as tall as me, and I also know martial arts!"
"Whether you know martial arts or not is one thing, but you are still a child. How can you let him take a few girls with him?" Chen's mother said this to Chen Rou.
Chen Rou looked at Xiao Lao Si.
The little boy thought something was wrong, so he did a somersault without saying a word and performed a little trick for his grandmother!
After watching, Chen's mother laughed and said, "This is a pretty good show. If he had a little monkey, he could ask for a reward."
"Grandma, your grandson's skills are not just fancy moves. Most adult men are no match for me." The fourth child said unhappily.
Don’t be fooled by his small size, but his fists and legs are very powerful!
"It's still too young." said Chen's mother.
Little Lao Si went into the house, took out his nunchaku, and performed a piece for his grandmother with a humming and hawing.
"You're really good at it. Did you learn it from the martial arts stars on TV?" Chen's mother said with some surprise.
"My godfather asked someone to teach me, and I learned all the essentials!" said the fourth child.
Mother Chen didn't say anything in front of her. When she and Chen Rou came to Chen Sijie's side, she said, "I heard you say last time that Xiao Lao Si's godfather didn't come from a legitimate background and taught Xiao Lao Si these things. It's better to have less contact with him."
"It's not that hard to teach. I'll just teach it like that. I plan to wait until next semester and let the second child and Chengzi go there to take a lesson a week. I'll pay for it." Chen Rou smiled when she heard it.
Chen's mother was shocked: "Why do you let them learn these things? And let Chengzi learn them too? You want them to go out and fight. What nonsense!"
"I don't learn these things for fighting. I learn them for self-defense." Chen Rou said.
Although today's society cannot be compared with the end of the world, even if it is a little chaotic now, it is still like a paradise.
But as the saying goes, it’s always good to have many skills, and it’s good to learn them whether they are useful or not.
Chen's mother thought it was unreliable. Why should she study that properly? She asked her to stop wasting time. Chen Rou responded with "um" and "ah" but didn't take it seriously at all. She thought it would be fine if she could study it next semester.
She didn't think so at first, but when she saw that the fourth child was really good at studying, she became interested.
When the mother and daughter came over to Chen Sijie's side, Chen Sijie had just finished her meal and was still awake. She had just been fed wheat germ.
Fourth Sister Chen said happily, "Mother, come and take a look."
Mother Chen naturally wanted to see her little granddaughter and said with a smile, "She looks like Dabang."
"I'm worried because she looks like him. She's so big and strong. My two sons look more like me than him, but my daughter looks exactly like him." Sister Chen Si complained.
But although I complain, I am also happy in my heart. I will not dislike my child no matter what he looks like, and any dislike is only expressed with words.
"What's wrong with looking like Dabang? She looks like a blessed child. Don't worry about it. Girls change a lot when they grow up." said Chen's mother.
"Mom, you didn't hear it. My sister was just complaining happily. Just listen to it." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen smiled, looked at An Xiaoxue who came in with tea and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxue."
"It's nothing, just washing clothes and cooking, it's not hard." An Xiaoxue smiled shyly, then let them sit down and went out to wash the diapers.
"Fourth sister, your niece is pretty good. How old is she this year?" Chen Rou asked.
"Eighteen years old." Fourth Sister Chen whispered, "Mother, you stay here with me for a while. Juhua is married, and Leizi is about to get married."
"Isn't this too close? It's a bit like a rabbit eating grass near its burrow." Chen Rou knew what her fourth sister meant as soon as she heard it, and said.
Fourth Sister Chen rolled her eyes at her, and Mother Chen also said, "What does it matter? This is called a closer relationship, don't you know? Lei Zi is twenty years old this year, so we can say it."
"Mom, you are so pretty. I watched you grow up, so there is no mistake." said Chen Sijie.
Mother Chen nodded.
Chen Rou: "..." Okay, marrying into the Chen family won't be too bad. It just depends on whether we are destined to be together. There is no need for her to say anything more.
Mother Chen said, "Huang Aidi has become more talkative this year."
"What's wrong?" asked Chen Sijie.
"Not long after the beginning of spring, she found Lei Zi and Yu Tou and asked them to contact someone. She bought the land where your eldest mother lived, demolished it and built a brick house, surrounded it with a wall and yard. It looked quite nice. Later, she raised dogs, chickens and pigs in the house. It looked quite decent." said Chen's mother.
"Has anyone from the Huang family come to disturb her?" Chen Rou asked.
"There's no place like that. We looked for her several times. I don't know where she got the information, but we found out that Huang Aidi had hired a second-rate guy to seduce her two sisters-in-law and cause unrest at home. So she came here with her two brothers. Your third brother was at home at the time, and he brought people over after hearing about it." Chen's mother said.
When they got there, they saw Huang Aidi acting like a madman, holding a sickle and ready to chop people. The Huang family was no match for her at all.
Later, Old Mrs. Huang came over several times, asking for compensation, but she had no money and was directly splashed with swill every time she went over!
After that, I probably realized what her attitude was, so I never went there again.
"Your words do work." Sister Chen Si looked at her sister and said.
"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with your sister?" Chen's mother said.
"Didn't we go to the empress dowager's house for the New Year? She came over when she heard we were coming. My younger sister pulled me over to sit over there and told her to live a good life. In the future, when Lei Zi gets married, he has to go over to offer her tea, and when they have children, they have to call her grandma. She cried because of what I said. It was also my younger sister who told her not to get involved with her parents' family when we build a house." said Chen Sijie.
Mother Chen glanced at her little girl.
Chen Rou said, "We are all in the same village, and we can't go on like this. If she lives a good life, it's a good thing for everyone. If she lives a mess, it will only cause trouble for the Chen family."
"Why are you causing trouble? I don't care whether she is good or bad. It's just that Lei Zi and Yu Tou will be affected." Chen's mother curled her lips.
No matter what, she is her biological mother. If she lives a mess, how can her son have pride?
However, Chen's mother didn't expect that this matter was related to her little girl. She looked at her and said, "She just listens to you. Your empress has advised her many times, but she never listened."
Naturally, Chen's mother didn't want to see Huang Aidi continue like she did last year. Regardless of whether they were affectionate toward each other in the past, the key point was that it was really ugly.
The title of my son's ex-wife will never be remembered by me in my lifetime. My son is a well-known person, but his ex-wife is like this. Won't people point fingers at her behind her back?
I just want her to live a good life, live a good life, so that people will praise the Chen family.
But I couldn't listen to it. This year I figured it out and I'm living a good life. That's what I think.
Chen Rou did this out of her own will last year because she really didn't want to see Huang Aidi spend the rest of her life on these things.
You lived an unclear life in the past, and were abused by your parents’ family in the first half of your life. You should live a good life in the second half. Life is not easy for women, so why should you ruin yourself like this?
Chen Rou had no grudge against Huang Aidi, and they actually got along pretty well back then. Last year, she didn't actually intend to go sit at Huang Aidi's place, but when she heard that they were coming over, she decided to stop by and stay for a while.
No matter how much Huang Aidi is advised, whether she will listen or not depends on herself.
But Huang Aidi was willing to listen, which was a good thing, and Chen Rou was happy for her.
So he asked someone to send a piece of good cloth back to Huang Aidi so that she could make a set of clothes.
When Huang Aidi received the cloth, she knew that her sister-in-law knew that she was living a good life now and was happy for her.
I came to the city specially.
Chen Rou said, "Just live your life well. There's nothing else to worry about. But don't say anything nonsense in front of Lei Zi and Yu Tou. When Ju Hua got married last year, Third Brother gave her a dowry of things and money. You know the answer, right?"
"Aunt, I know. You don't have to explain this to me. I was just being stupid before." Huang Aidi said a little embarrassedly.
After she knew that Wu Afang had given birth to a son, she took her two sons to explain things to them. Wasn't she just worried?
However, her two sons came to her the next day and told her not to worry about it and just live her own life.
But Huang Aidi was still worried. But last year, when her eldest daughter Juhua got married, she finally understood that Juhua's father had not treated her badly.
With so much money as a dowry and the last drop of money given away, which family would marry off their daughter with such fanfare?
She asked her daughter, and her daughter said that her fourth aunt and youngest aunt also gave her 100 yuan each as a dowry.
After Huang Aidi got divorced, her mind became clearer. She could tell who was good and who was bad, and she was no longer as confused as before.
The two sons are working hard. With their father's temper, how could he treat them unfairly?
I'm still being kind to her. I give her 100 yuan a month, which is more than 1,000 yuan a year. How many pigs do I have to raise to sell them for that much money?
So Huang Aidi came to her senses and decided to just wait for her sons to take care of their grandchildren. So this year she bought the land and transferred the ownership of the house. She then built a brick house and raised chickens, pigs and vegetables. She would save the money for her son in the future, and from time to time she would bring a basket of eggs to her daughter to visit her grandchildren!
Although I can no longer live in Old Chen's house and am no longer considered Old Chen's daughter-in-law, other than this, there is not much difference.
Huang Aidi brought a basket of eggs to Chen Rou. Chen Rou refused but accepted it. However, she told her not to bring anything next time she came to her place, as there were plenty in the shop, and if she had any, she could give them to Juhua.
It was originally just a small matter, but the impact was not small.
In September, Huang Aidi was carrying a basket of eggs to see the chrysanthemums, but on the way she saw a man holding a child running out of the village.
Huang Aidi took a closer look and thought, who else could that child be but Guangguang, the one who had been running around with the older kids since he was able to walk?
Although Guangguang is still young, he will cry when a stranger hugs him.
Look at the man again, he is a stranger!
The three big words "Pa Huazi" suddenly appeared in Huang Aidi's mind.
But the man didn't expect that there was someone else, and he was shocked.
"Brother, is this Chenjiazhuang? My sister got married here and is here to recuperate after giving birth. This is her first time here and she is unfamiliar with the place." Huang Aidi said with a smile, suppressing her pounding heart.
"Ah, that's it." The man nodded. He originally wanted to deal with her, after all, she was a woman, but he didn't expect that she was not a villager. He was not afraid immediately and continued walking with the child in his arms.
Huang Aidi couldn't let him take the child away. She didn't even have a dark thought. After the man turned around, she picked up a fist-sized stone and said with a smile: "Brother, I have to thank you for showing me the way. I have a basket of eggs. You can take two to comfort the child. He is crying so loudly and making a lot of noise. He must be hungry. I have boiled eggs."
The man turned around and took a look at the basket of eggs in her hand. He thought it was good and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
He came over without much warning, and Huang Aidi let him take it himself. She took advantage of his inattention and threw a stone at him.
"Ouch!" The man's eye was hit directly. He screamed in pain and threw the child to the ground, covering his eyes.
Huang Aidi simply dumped the entire basket of eggs on his head, then picked up Guangguang and ran towards the village.
"There's a beggar, there's a beggar coming to steal children, everyone hurry up and catch the beggar, hurry up and catch the beggar!" Huang Aidi yelled while holding Guangguang who was crying loudly.
The word "拍花子" is a taboo word.
The villagers who heard the noise ran out, and after listening to Huang Zhaodi's description, they immediately picked up their weapons and chased after her.
Chen Rou heard about this the next day from Han Dasao when she ran into the city.
Such a big thing has spread throughout the surrounding area.
How could Mrs. Han not know? I heard about it that day and immediately ran to find Wu Afang. Wu Afang's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
It was just a little bit, just a little bit that her son was almost taken away by the photographer!
The beggar was caught by the villagers and beaten half to death. One of his legs was broken, all his teeth were broken, and several of his fingers were crushed. Finally, he was turned over to the police station.
But now it is a period of severe crackdown, and there is no way out once you go in.
Because of this, Wu Afang held Guangguang and knelt down in front of Huang Aidi to thank her for saving her son.
Han Dasao said: "Huang Aidi said that she didn't need to thank her. Even if it wasn't her son, if she saw any other child in the village, she would not stand idly by." After saying this, Han Dasao sighed: "She is really not a bad person, but she met such a bad family."
"It wasn't bad to begin with." Chen Rou felt relieved when she heard that the child was finally rescued, and she said at the same time.
When Chen's mother heard about it, she went back home the same day. She was terrified as she held her little grandson who was almost beheaded.
After that, I went to sit with Huang Aidi.
"The Chen family never treated me badly. It was me who was ignorant and caused trouble for the Chen family for so many years. My aunt was also very good to me and let me live a good life. She never looked down on me at all. Although I left the Chen family, in my heart, no matter whether you agree or not, I am still a member of the Chen family." Huang Aidi said while wiping away her tears.
"Your fourth aunt has already picked out Lei Zi for a long time. She is the daughter of her eldest sister-in-law from her husband's family. She is 18 years old this year. Although she is only in primary school, she is good-looking and has a good temper. She was very efficient in helping your fourth aunt with housework. You don't have to worry about her parents' side, as they are all sensible people. You can talk to them about it when the time comes. If it works out, let Lei Zi bring her here to kowtow to you and call you mother." said Chen's mother.
"Oh." Huang Aidi agreed while wiping her tears.
Sister Chen Si had already finished her confinement and was almost aware of the whole story. She came over holding Xiao Mi Ya.
Chen Rou took it from her, and then she heard her fourth sister say, "When it comes to being broad-minded, I am not as broad-minded as you, little sister."
Chen Rou laughed: "Fourth sister, what you said is true. I am just seeking truth from facts. I don't have any big heart or small heart."
Fourth Sister Chen laughed and said, "Huang Aidi is not a bad person. I beat her because I was so angry with her family before."
"You gave Juhua a dowry of 100 yuan when she got married. She knows that. You don't have to keep thinking about the past. She wants to beat herself when she thinks about it now. She won't blame you." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen smiled and said, "After this incident, her reputation has improved. Lei Zi can strike while the iron is hot for his marriage."
Chen Rou smiled.
Beating a beggar is the most abominable thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the beggar deserves to be killed a thousand times. Huang Aidi snatched back the son born to her ex-husband and his second wife, and asked the villagers to catch the beggar. This became a rumor that spread throughout the village.
He turned over and washed himself thoroughly, and all the dirt and stench were attributed to the Huang family.
The Chen family naturally benefited as well, because both parties were considered respectable after the divorce.
It's just a pity.
When people mention it, they usually scold the Huang family for doing things inhumanely and messing up the affairs of the two daughters' in-laws.
Of course, there are also those with dark minds who say behind Huang Aidi’s back that she is stupid. Isn’t that stupid? It would be great if you could pretend you didn't see it. But without this child, the one who came in later would go crazy, right?
From now on, the family property will belong to her two sons!
But most of them are sunny and bright, so Huang Aidi naturally has a good reputation.
At this time, her eldest son Lei Zi was engaged to An Xiaoxue, a marriage between close relatives.
People in the countryside don't have to wait until a certain age to get married like in big cities. Now the marriage is settled, I will get married next year.
But Lei Zi went to settle down in the An family, and An Xiaoxue also came here to meet the elders. Of course, they also had to bring Huang Aidi, their biological mother, here to see her.
Huang Aidi was naturally satisfied.
When Brother Chen San drove his tractor into the city, he went straight to the grocery store.
A big pork leg was sent to the younger sister Chen Rou, and a big pork leg was also sent to the second younger sister Chen Sijie. Both of them weighed more than ten pounds of meat!
"What's wrong with our third brother? Is he thanking us sisters?" Fourth sister Chen said with a smile when she came over with wheat sprout.
Chen Rou was weighing eggs for the customer while laughing: "Third brother, this thank you gift is too heavy. There is so much meat. How long will it take to eat it all?"
"I just braised it and ate it directly." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I'll ask Chengzi's godparents to come over to eat pig's feet tonight."
Brother Chen San sent such a big pork leg over, and it was only because Chengzi and Xiao Lao Si, their siblings, had returned from Beijing that they could share some of the burden, otherwise it would have taken us quite a while to eat it.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, she went home to stew pig's trotters. When Han Cheng and Xiao Laosi came back, the whole yard was filled with fragrance, and the sweet and sour smell of vinegar was particularly pleasant.
"Why didn't Yaoyao come?" Chen Rou asked when she saw the siblings come back.
"Sister Yaoyao is in the first year of high school this year, and she has one more class than us, but I told her that she and her second brother will go back together when the time comes." Han Cheng said.
"Then you guys go do your homework first." Chen Rou nodded.
The house was lively in the evening. Chen Gongan and Ma Yuling were called over, and Yaoyao was also there to eat with Han Guobin, Chen Rou and their family.
The kids drank beverages, while Chen Gongan and Han Guobin had a small drink.
Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang just cooked some noodles at home.
Han's mother came over and saw the couple, so she asked, "Where is Yaoyao? Why didn't she come out to eat?"
"She went to her second sister-in-law's house for dinner." Zhang Jiang said with a smile.
Han Guoli said: "This lazy girl always runs to her second sister-in-law's place to eat, as if she is an extra child."
Zhang Jiang said: "Isn't this related to her second uncle and second aunt?"
Zhang Jiang thought it was really good. Not to mention his daughter, he himself liked to go over there to watch TV or sit over there to drink tea with his second uncle and second aunt.
As for his third brother-in-law and third aunt who lived not far away, he didn't want to go there and would only go there occasionally.
Han Guoli said: "You can't go there so often."
"What's the big deal? It's her second aunt who called her. Don't worry about it. Just let it go." Zhang Jiang said. Look at how lovable her daughter has grown up to be since her second uncle and second aunt came to the city.
When I was little, I didn’t dare to speak loudly. Now I am very talkative, active and smart. It’s all because of the influence from there.
Mother Han snorted, "What's so good about that place that's worth going there to eat?"
Zhang Jiang said, "Little Lao Si's third uncle sent him a big pig leg. They are stewing pig's feet there. How can there be nothing else to eat?"
"Pork leg? Why didn't you send some to us?" Han's mother asked as soon as she heard it.
Zhang Jiang choked.
Han Guoli glanced at her mother and said, "Mom, have you forgotten that Guolin sells pork himself?"
"How can they be the same? The third son's was sold, and the second son's was given to him for free. It was such a big pork leg, but he didn't even give me and your father a bite!" Han's mother scolded.
Zhang Jiang immediately regretted talking too much. It was nothing serious considering it was a different era, but he still underestimated his mother-in-law's partiality.
After a while, Xiao Laosi came back on his 24-inch bicycle to take Yaoyao back.
Yaoyao waved her hand and said, "Be careful."
"I know." Little Old Four said without turning his head.
When she returned to the room, she saw her grandmother was there too, and she smiled and said, "Grandma is watching TV."
"The pork leg at your second uncle's house must be ten pounds heavy, right?" Han's mother said. After all, she knew how promising the third son of the Chen family was.
She opened an oil press factory of her own, but her second son also had a share in it.
"There's no way there's that much. I think it's only about four or five pounds at most, not much. Second aunt loves me because I have to go to school in the afternoon, so she asked Chengzi to call me to come over to her house to eat, but no one else was called, so there's not enough food." Yaoyao said immediately.
"Hanghang's third uncle only gave him such a small pork leg?" Han's mother couldn't help but ask.
"She also got half of Orange's share from her fourth aunt, so it's definitely not much." Yaoyao said.
Mother Han curled her lips and said, "He's a big boss, but he's also stingy. What era is it now? How can you afford to give away such a small piece of meat?"
"Grandma, whatever you say is right." Yaoyao said, and then said to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the house to do my homework."
"Go ahead." Zhang Jiang was still relieved. He heard what his second brother said when he came to the shop after school. It was a big pork leg, how could it be just four or five pounds?
Fortunately, my daughter is smart, otherwise there would be a lot to say.
Isn't it the same for Han Guoli? She's just afraid that if she says too much and doesn't give anything to the two elders, they'll make a fuss.
Han's mother was still dissatisfied: "Thirty yuan a month. Things are so expensive nowadays. You can't buy anything with this little money. Apart from this thirty yuan, you don't give me anything else!"
Zhang Jiang and Han Guoli have heard these words so many times that they can just pretend they didn't hear them.
The couple also give their parents alimony, twenty yuan a month, and nothing more, not to mention other things like rice and grain.
After all, he has older brothers above him, so he doesn't need to take on too much.
