When the family slaughtered the pig, everyone in the old house except Liu Chunxia came to help.
The others didn't pay much attention to Liu Chunxia's absence, assuming she didn't want to come out.
"Mom, I want to go to Uncle Ge's house to eat meat!" Gouwa looked at his mother, who had been lying there without saying a word, and whispered his thoughts.
After a long while, I finally heard, "Go!"
"Haha...I'm off then, Mom!"
Only after the door opened and closed did Liu Chunxia lower her hand from her face, her eyes filled with gloom as she looked at the ceiling.
Su Xia wasn't idle at home either; Xia Lai Di and Chen's mother both came to help, and the whole kitchen was bustling with activity.
One pot is used to cook pig intestines, while another pot is used to cook stewed pig.
Si Ya and Niu Niu were helping out, and the two younger ones were being looked after by Liu Ya. Without them bothering them, they didn't have to hold back.
In the backyard, several men were butchering pork. Looking at the white pork in front of him, Wang Chuanzhi was once again glad that he had come at the right time.
"Uncle, may I take this side?"
Chen Jianguo looked over and saw that it was all fat, loose and crumbly. Everyone thought it was a good thing, but his family could only render oil from it and it was useless to them.
"Okay, I'll cut it out separately for you in a bit!"
"Then I'll thank Uncle Ge!" Wang Chuanzhi grinned excitedly.
He turned around and saw his father-in-law, immediately slapped his head in frustration, and then went to find Chen Jianguo.
"Uncle, could you cut me another 5 jin of meat?"
"What are you doing?" Chen Jianguo asked in surprise.
“My dad’s still here!” she said, pointing at Chen Jianjun.
Chen Jianguo immediately understood, "Okay, I'll add it to your account in a bit!"
Chen Jiandang looked at his third brother with envy, "Third brother, you've really found a good son-in-law!"
Chen Jianjun grinned foolishly, "Second brother, missing your home?"
Chen Jiandang curled his lip and said, "Hmph, she did say she'd go home for the New Year!"
Chen Jianjun burst out laughing. His second brother was already a grandfather, yet he was still acting like a child.
"By the way, I wonder if Geya and the others have arrived yet?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiandang calculated and said, "It should arrive tomorrow!"
Chen Jianjun nodded. After attending the wedding that afternoon, the four members of the family went to the county town to take the evening bus to the military base of the children's grandparents.
After all, from birth until now, I've only seen my grandparents' money, but never them.
Not only is Geya reluctant to part with it, but even Yaya and Dandan are reluctant to part with it, and the old house is even more so.
It's because the grandparents have missed their grandchildren for so long, so why not prevent them from going back?
On the train, Geum-ya looked out the window, then at her two children sleeping soundly on the bed.
She smiled gently, then looked out the window. "What's wrong?"
"Brother Jin, what kind of people are your parents?" Ge Ya asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Congjin thought something was wrong and put his arm around his wife's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, they get along very well!"
Geya gave him a reproachful look, "Why do you seem so unconcerned?"
Zhou Congjin shrugged. "I've been in the military since I was a child. My dad's an officer, and my mom's a military doctor. The military is like a family to me!"
Geya nodded, "Brother Jin, go to sleep, we'll arrive tomorrow!"
"Okay, we have a long holiday this time. After we visit my parents, I'll take you to see your parents!"
“Give me back my aunt!”
"Okay, I'll watch them both!"
Satisfied, the wife and son each held one child and quickly fell asleep.
Su Xia quickly finished her work, setting up one table for the men and another for the women. However, before eating, Su Xia prepared a separate meal for herself.
"Siya, take this to your mother!"
Siya took it and quickly went out. Liuya, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Su Xia sighed, and Xia Lai Di leaned closer, "Sister-in-law, why are you bothering with her?"
"We can't let people go hungry, can we?" Su Xia retorted helplessly.
"Hmph, it's all her own fault!" Xia Laidi said disdainfully.
Su Xia was speechless. Had this person forgotten how he acted in the past?
Siya quickly returned to her own home and, seeing her mother still lying down, reluctantly put her things down.
"Mother, get up and eat something!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chunxia looked at the steaming pork stew beside her, her throat brimming with saliva.
Where is your father?
“Dad’s drinking over there!” Siya replied.
"Hmph, I bet he's having too much fun to think about home!" Liu Chunxia's eyes were practically sparkling.
"Mother, why are you blaming Father? Don't you even look at what you've done?" Si Ya couldn't help but ask.
"Shut up, how dare you talk like that to your mother?" Liu Chunxia scolded.
Siya pouted and whispered in protest, "No wonder Sister Ge didn't want to come back!"
Liu Chunxia's chest heaved with anger, and she said fiercely, "What are you doing back here?"
"This is my house, aren't you going back yet?"
"Was it because your uncle's family slaughtered a pig?"
"Yes, Brother Zhi wants to buy more pork!" Si Ya nodded, not denying it.
Then he added, "I bought some for you and Dad too!"
Liu Chunxia was finally satisfied. She only needed the things she wanted, and then she would have more confidence in front of her two sisters-in-law.
"Oh, and I need to save up more tickets when I get back!"
Siya was stunned for a moment, "Mom, you're still giving it to Grandma's side?" Her voice was very soft.
Liu Chunxia's ears rang, and she frowned, scolding, "What's wrong? Your cousins don't even have decent clothes. You're doing well, so what's wrong with sending them some?"
Siya was shocked. For the first time, she carefully examined her mother. At this moment, Liu Chunxia calmly picked up the food and began to eat, as if she hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Why isn't there any meat in it?" she complained while eating.
Siya looked at it like it was a ghost, even though there were more than a dozen pieces of meat inside, she still complained?
Finally, she returned in a daze. When she was almost at her aunt's house, she heard laughter and cheerful voices inside. Siya collected her thoughts and rubbed her cheeks.
He put on a happy expression and went in to say hello.
"Siya, over here, come over quickly!" Su Xia shouted.
Siya instantly felt a surge of warmth throughout her body, and sat down with a smile. In the bowl in front of her, half of the food was meat and blood sausage.
"Your aunt was worried you wouldn't have anything to eat, so she served you a separate portion!" Xia Laidi swallowed her water, explaining jealously.
Upon hearing this, Siya looked at Auntie Su, who was serving food to the children without doing any work.
Looking down, I see it's time to eat. As for Mom—I guess I'll have to talk to Dad about it!
After finishing her meal, Liu Chunxia wiped her mouth and lay down to rest. She soon began to doze off.
After slaughtering the pig, eating, and drinking, Wang Chuanzhi even considered finishing his dinner before going home.
Si Ya...twisted her waist sharply, her tone fierce, "Going back or not?"
Wang Chuanzhi grinned and shouted, "Go back...go back...!"
snort....
Siya glared at him and took the meat she had bought for her parents.
"Dad, Zhi-ge and I are going back!"
Chen Jianjun nodded. "Let's go back. Is this the meat that A-Zhi bought?" Chen Jianjun looked at the lump of meat with surprise. It weighed a full 5 jin (2.5 catties), which was about the same as the pork distributed in the village.
Siya nodded, then looked into the room and whispered to Chen Jianjun.
When they left, Chen Jianjun's face was dark and gloomy. Si Ya was a little scared, but she didn't regret it at all.
"Dad, Mom used to give Grandma and Uncle things too, but never this much. Now she's starting to ask me for things!"
Chen Jianjun gritted his teeth. "Not that many," he said, "because my own family has few too. Now that Er Ya and Siya are both married, especially Siya around..."
"Siya, don't worry about it. Just live your life. Come over when you have time, but don't come back otherwise!" Chen Jianjun instructed.
Siya nodded, knowing what her father meant, but what about her younger brother and sister?
"Father, what about Liuya?"
"It's alright, Dad will put the food with your grandparents later, and Liuya can eat with them from now on!" Chen Jianjun had already thought about this, but he wanted to observe it further...
Now! -- Chen Jianjun thought that Liu Chunxia had been living a good life in recent years, which gave her a false impression!
Upon hearing this, Siya knew that her father's plans had been followed. She then went to say goodbye to Liuya before returning home with her husband.
