Although the old house seemed calm on the surface, it was actually turbulent under the surface.
Su Xia has been busy planning and preparing for everything before the New Year.
During this period, I asked the old man to take the pigs away from home. When I came back, I had two bags of 30 kilograms of feed, 20 kilograms of meat tickets, and 60 yuan.
Since the pigs raised in the village exceeded 200 kilograms, no more pigs belonging to Su Xia were kept, and naturally there were no male pigs.
However, compared with the village, Su Xia still prefers to send it to the purchasing station. After the weight exceeds the task standard of 140 kilograms, the rest will be rewarded with feed, meat coupons and cash.
Even pig feed is not available for purchase.
Su Xia put the feed into the space first, as this is a critical period for pig growth next year and a catalyst.
It must be kept well and cannot be damaged in any way.
"Today is a good day, a good day, a good day..."
Su Xia happily hummed the song without remembering the lyrics and ran away.
Niu Niu and Da Bao quickly covered their ears and looked at each other. This moment fully reflected the true feelings of the sisters in distress.
Su Xia put the money into the money box and put it at the bottom of the kang cabinet, then ran to the kitchen happily to prepare the dough. She was going to make a lot of buns today.
Whoosh…
Dabao didn't take his hands off his ears until his mother closed the kitchen door.
She patted her chest with her little hands and looked at Niuniu with gossip, "Sister, who did mom learn to sing from?"
Niuniu also felt her mind was a little clearer. To be honest, she didn't know what her mother was singing, and she sang the same song every time.
After hearing what his brother said, he shook his head unclearly, "How should I know? Maybe he heard it accidentally?"
“Good day…
ah……"
Niu Niu and Dabao were so frightened that the pen and toys in their hands fell down and they didn't know what was going on.
Looking towards the kitchen with a blank face, Su Xia sang to the climax and quickly ended with a high note with ups and downs.
This was the ending that Niu Niu and Da Bao heard, and it was like the howling of ghosts.
Woohoo—-
"Sister, so scary?"
Dabao excitedly walked to Niu Niu, seeking comfort. Niu Niu also hugged her brother tremblingly, "Okay, just singing? It's okay!"
Dabao...
Then why are you shaking?
The old house also brought home the pork it had bought today. According to the size of the family's rooster, they bought a pig's trotter and 6 pounds of first-class meat. Mother Chen was so cruel that she bought another 2 pounds of pig offal.
All adults, including children, were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
Chen's mother instructed Xia Lai to cut the meat and add oil to the roast skillfully.
"Daya, go cut some cabbage so we can make dumplings!"
"Okay, grandma!" Daya ran excitedly to get the cabbage, followed by the sound of chopping vegetables.
Xia Lai was drooling while secretly looking at Chen's mother's expression, and then asked casually: "Mom, what are you doing for my younger brother's wife?"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother replied directly, "What can we do? We still have the fish from before. We can just cook fish soup!"
When Xia Laidi heard about the fish soup, he started to light the fire without any worries, while secretly glancing at the pig's trotters.
Mother Chen curled her lips. She had already noticed her little action, but she was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"Well, can the festival gift for mom that she returns to her parents' home this year be sent over in advance?" Xia Laidi thought about what she was thinking and decided to test it carefully. She thought it was no big deal, after all, her family was not short of it.
"What are you doing? How can you give gifts before the New Year? How will people outside look at the Chen family?" Chen's mother stared at her and refuted her word by word.
Xia Lai was frightened, and added fuel to the fire cautiously.
But I still thought of my mother’s crying and decided to give it a try.
"Mom, can you give me a pig's trotter as a coming-of-age gift? My sister-in-law is about to give birth, so I want to..."
Before I could finish, I looked up and saw my mother-in-law's half-smile. I was so scared that I swallowed the rest of the words.
"snort--
I was wondering, when we were eating meat today, you kept fiddling with a pig's trotter. So you were waiting here?
Xia Lai shrugged and said, "Mom, just agree to it. After all, there is another one at home!"
"You should buy it for yourself. The one at home was bought by my husband himself, specifically for my wife to increase her milk supply. I am too shy to use anything else."
Chen's mother's face was full of veiled criticism, and not only Xia Lai's face turned pale, but even Daya lowered her head in shame.
She was ashamed of her mother's shameless behavior, and also heartbroken. Her mother would always bring back any good things to her grandmother's house, but she didn't even get Goudan.
snort--
How ridiculous! I wiped the tears from my eyes carefully, went out quietly, and prepared to find my dad to come over, otherwise my grandma would definitely be angry.
Mother Chen saw Daya went out and said nothing. She looked at the idiot who couldn't even light a fire and cursed, "You spendthrift, you can't even light a fire. You ruined the lard. I'll tear you to pieces!"
Xia Lai was so frightened that he had to keep an eye on the fire. When Chen Jiandang found out about it and came over, he saw this scene.
What he said to Chen's mother immediately made Xia Lai feel that a beating was inevitable.
"Mom, don't bother with her. If she can't do a good job, just send her to Old Xia's house. Aren't you worried about her? Give her a chance and go back to help her brother!"
Chen Jiandang was not angry. He looked at his wife calmly. He knew that she had not lived a good life in the past and was not a good person, but he did not notice anything wrong with her.
Ever since she has been living well in the past two years, she has been asking to send gifts to her parents' home. At first, I thought that we have been together for so many years and we just turned a blind eye to it.
I didn't expect that those few times were really excessive. Even the candies given to Goudan were secretly taken back to her parents' home. She still loves her son with this kind of heart. What a fool!
"Hmph, if you want to live a peaceful life, stay away from your parents' home. If I find out that you gave your children's things to your parents' home again, believe it or not, I will make you pack up and leave."
Xia Lai looked at the man in disbelief, she could never understand, it was not like there were no old things at home, why couldn't he send them to her parents' home?
Then she looked at Daya fiercely and said, "Are you the one who complained? If I tell you to complain, I will beat you to death."
At this moment, she was so angry that she forgot that Chen's mother and the man were gone. She waved her claws and hit Daya in the face.
Snap...
Chen Jiandang slapped her directly. He would never see his daughter being beaten. He now understood that being nice to a daughter is better than being nice to a wife.
After Daya hid herself, she saw her mother being beaten. She felt a little relieved and lowered her head in fear. This was a sign of unfilial piety.
Chen's mother...
I looked at Daya speechlessly. After the granddaughters in the family went to school, none of them became worry-free. They were almost as mean as my eldest daughter-in-law. But it was good this way, at least they wouldn't be bullied.
But I still have to do the job at hand first. Seeing the conflict between the second son and his wife is really a headache.
"Daya, go to work, don't you want to eat dumplings?"
Then he looked at his son, "You go back too, there is so much work to do at home, are you waiting for your father?"
Finally, he looked at the troubled and unconvinced idiot and said, "Work, there will be no dumplings for you tonight, you will have to eat steamed bread!"
When Xia Lai heard that she was not included, she looked at Chen's mother in shock and said, "Mom, how can this be? I also have a job here, okay?"
Mother Chen stared at her. "You took your job back to your parents' home a long time ago and gave it to your nephews and nieces. Why are you still telling me about it?"
"Pooh--
You still say you love Goudan, but you gave all the food for a two-year-old to your 10-year-old nephew. You are still a mother, even a sow protects its calves better than you do!"
Xia Lai Di then realized that her family knew about her little actions. No wonder Chen Jiandang kept all the snacks he bought for the children at her mother's place after the two times.
She didn't dare to look at the man's face, but she knew that he was very angry?
Daya pouted, she no longer had any hope in her mother. Her two younger sisters used to be jealous of Goudan, but now they only felt sympathy for him.
