As soon as the two came in, he immediately took a small spoon, scooped a piece of braised pork into his bowl, and started eating it with relish.
Song Tangcheng looked at his son's adorable appearance and complained with a smile.
"If you come back any later, my son's saliva will freeze."
"You guys eat first, we were delayed on the road." Song Tanglan replied awkwardly after washing his hands. In order to spend more time together on the road, they deliberately took a remote path, which cost them a lot of effort on the road.
"Oh~!! It's such a short distance, I didn't expect you guys to be delayed!"
Song Tangcheng picked up some food for his son and did not forget to tease his little sister. Seeing her ears turn red, he knew that she was shy.
"Second sister, you are so bad."
"Hahaha!"
In the winter, Xiao Cheng's family would always have dinner around 5 o'clock, because it was still light outside at this time. After eating and washing up, they could go back to their room and lie down to keep warm.
In addition, in winter, many families in the brigade only eat two meals a day, and spring smoke usually rises over the brigade after 5 o'clock.
At this time, I can smell the aroma of rice coming from the house next door. At first I could resist it, but gradually I had no choice but to cook dinner at this time.
As soon as dinner was over, Cheng Fangyuan kindly sent Xu Qi out the door, without any intention of letting him stay any longer.
There was no way out. His father-in-law had told him that if he let someone else get away and people found out, the consequences would be serious.
Besides, it would be bad for his younger sister's reputation if he stayed at their house so late, and he couldn't give those gossipy old women the opportunity to slander his family.
…
Su Tao had just returned home for a few days when her parents began to dislike her. These days, they have been urging her to bring her partner home so that the couple can carefully screen him.
Her grandmother didn't know where she got the news from, but when she found out she was back, she came to her house every day to try to be a matchmaker for her, and she acted like an elder every day.
If Su Tao didn't know her well, she would have believed her lies.
Su Tao listened to the chattering of the fifty-year-old woman in front of her, but she ignored what she was saying.
Anyway, my parents knew what kind of person this old woman was and never took her words to heart. If it weren't for the blood relationship and my father's little filial piety, this old woman might not even have the chance to come to our house.
"Silly girl, are you listening to me carefully? Didn't you say you found a partner? You've been dating for so long, but have you said when you're going to get married? What's your family situation like? How much is the betrothal gift?"
Su Tao looked at the old woman Su who had been chattering for a long time. When she finally told her the purpose of her trip, she looked at her ugly face and the calculation in her eyes and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Grandma, you don't need to worry about my marriage. You should continue to worry about the marriages of my two cousins! Besides, I get along well with my partner, and my parents agree. His family conditions are similar to ours. As for the betrothal gift, my mother said a few dozen yuan will be enough."
"Girl, what are you talking about? I'm your grandmother, how dare you talk back to an elder? You're my son's daughter, why can't I intervene? A betrothal gift of a few dozen yuan is like sending off a beggar! At least it should be over a hundred yuan."
"Even if my partner gives me a lot of betrothal gifts, I won't ask my parents to give a cent to my uncle. If my cousin wants to marry a wife, he should go out and earn money himself. Why is he trying to sell me to marry him a wife? He's already grown up, not only does he eat for free at home all day, but now he's even setting his sights on me."
Su Tao felt that she had used all the eloquence she had learned from the aunt in the brigade on her shameless grandmother. After so many years, Su Tao, did you think they had let go of those little tricks?!
Unexpectedly, the old woman came to the door while her parents were out at work. Even though she was used to her favoring boys over girls and always using her family's resources to subsidize her uncle's family, she was still very depressed and angry.
Fortunately, after so many years of dealing with people in the countryside, she is no longer as tongue-tied as she used to be, and she no longer dares to refute the old woman.
Thinking of the hundreds of dollars in betrothal gifts she just mentioned, I couldn't help but spit.
"You, you, you, okay, you dead girl, now you dare to contradict an old woman like me, right!"
After saying that, she was about to reach out and hit her like before, but Su Tao was no longer the same Su Tao who allowed her to hit and scold her, and she dodged her slap directly.
Old Mrs. Su has been working hard these years, and she is old now, so she has lost her former agility. Su Tao dodged several slaps.
She couldn't hit anyone, which made her even angrier.
Coupled with Su Tao's verbal skills, she was so angry that she left on the spot, and she didn't forget to make a statement before leaving.
"Just wait, I can't teach you a lesson, you dead girl, and your father can't teach you a lesson, you unfilial son. You deserve to be an old maid."
Su Tao didn't care about her verbal abuse. As soon as she left, she quickly closed the door and then took out the snacks she had just hidden and started eating.
Old Mrs. Su lived with the eldest son of the Su family. She had been partial to the eldest son's family since she was a child. Every time she came to her youngest son's house, she would collect a lot of good things and take them back to support the eldest son's family.
At first, Su's mother was very angry about this, but because she was the mother-in-law, Su's mother couldn't say anything wrong about her. Later, she became more and more excessive, and the Su family no longer indulged her. Whenever she came, they would hide the things.
Anyway, she only dared to glance around now and didn't dare to look around openly.
It was true that she had done this kind of thing before. When Su's mother saw her action, her face changed suddenly and she started scolding her on the spot, speaking sarcastically to Su Lao Da's family. All the neighbors knew about it. She lost face and was pointed at every day.
