"Daniel, come, give a toast to your uncles and uncles!"
Bi Yue stood on the kang in a daze, her uncle smiling at her and her father waving at her. She was about to get off the kang and toast him. She was just bending over to tie her shoe when she heard her father loudly praising her:
"Our eldest daughter has really been honed in the city. A big capital, it's a training ground! She and her uncles must have endured a lot of hardship, going to school while also busying themselves with running a restaurant."
Bi Yue blushed at what she heard. She had expected Bi Tiegang to continue praising her for her academic performance. Aren't all parents praising her like that? She had been mentally prepared for this, but...
"Third uncle, the eldest girl isn't as quiet as before. She's really grown up. A few days ago, she was in Kyoto and drank over a pound of white wine, but I think she was fine the next day! She's better than her father, let her toast you!"
The third grandfather sighed, "Oh, that's really promising!"
Bi Yue was so embarrassed.
Is this how Zhao Jiatun praises people? Or was it Liu Yafang who saved Bi Yue?
Liu Yafang opened the door with a shovel in hand, and her face showed that she was forcing a smile:
"Third uncle, how is your meal? If it's too salty or too bland, tell me. Do you want to heat up the food? Well, there's more in the pot, take your time." After saying that, he waved to Bi Yue again:
"Daniel, come out and help me light the fire."
As soon as Bi Yue showed up, Liu Yafang glared at the door and cursed:
"Is your father a tiger? What can a little girl like you drink?"
He talks about everything, even about running a restaurant. He tells others that we can just take advantage of the money!
He's talking nonsense. He drank half a pound of cat urine and wanted to tell everyone about what happened at home!
Bi Yue acted as if she hadn't heard: "Mom, are you going to boil the big pot?"
Liu Yafang... glanced at the pile of things in the outer room and said angrily:
"What are you cooking in a big pot? Just stay here!"
Bi Yue was a little angry: "Mom, can we talk about reason? Look at my dad, he knows to praise me even when he is drunk. When I am in your place, everything I do is wrong!" After saying that, she turned over the basin and prepared to scoop hot water.
"What are you going to do?"
"Wash your hair."
Liu Yafang said anxiously, "You're always busy, can't you just relax a little? Why are you washing your hair when you're so busy?"
Bi Yue was on the verge of tears: "I can't take a shower and I can't wash my hair. Tomorrow is the 30th, so I have to start all over again? My hair is sticky, don't you people in the village clean up for the New Year?"
Feeling extremely helpless, she didn't give Liu Yafang the chance to ignore her this time. She also really wanted to ask why her status had declined, so she approached Liu Yafang and asked:
"Mom, come here, let me interview you. Why do you dislike me so much?
You said that before, I couldn't even make a sound, I couldn't make any progress, I just ate in boredom, couldn't make any money, and all I knew was crying. You pampered and coaxed me every day because you were afraid that I would commit suicide.
Now I can make money and stand on my own. I worry more than you and think of everything first. Why do you scold me every day?
You're not nice when you talk to me, what's wrong? If I insist on being like before, will you just stop? If you have any objections to me, tell me and I'll change!
Bi Yue became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She put her hands on her hips and glanced at Liu Yafang. Then she nudged her mother's arm with her elbow.
Liu Yafang had a smile in her eyes and a serious expression.
A big face, yet it can still stand alone? What is it blocking? It's probably because of its small physique.
"Do you think I want something else from you? You used to be obedient and would sit by my side whenever you had nothing to do. But what about now?
Humph, I say one thing and you say eight things, or you act like you didn't hear me. The main kidney is so straight, you always contradict me no matter what I say.
Besides, I didn't ask you to wash your hair, did I? Go away, go away, if you want to wash it, go to the fire wall."
Accompany me? And then listen to your nagging words about seven years of hard work and eight years of hard work?
Bi Yue scratched his head and thought: Forget it.
Liu Yafang was delighted. She finally looked a little like a little girl. Otherwise, she would have thought she had given birth to three sons.
Since returning to the village, her daughter has actually done a lot of work, such as chopping wood, carrying firewood, refueling the car, and sweeping the yard.
…
New Year’s Eve arrived as scheduled. It felt like the sky was just getting light when the sound of firecrackers came from outside.
Bi Yue was lying on the kang, too lazy to move. She laughed when she heard her father get up in his cotton-padded jacket, sit on the edge of the kang and sigh "Hey yo".
It seems that he has drunk too much and can't stand drinking every meal.
Just as I was about to say something, Gou Dan popped his head out from under the covers next to me:
"Mom, New Year's money!"
Bi Tiegang slapped Goudan'er on the butt: "Open your eyes and you want money."
Receiving New Year’s money in bed is an indescribable feeling.
Bi Yue took the red envelope handed over by Liu Yafang and said with a sigh, "It's quite exquisite. It's wrapped in red paper, right?"
Liu Yafang raised her eyebrows and said complacently, "That's right. I've prepared it a long time ago. I'm telling you, it's all packed. Are you listening? Especially you, Gou'er, you're about to show off and lose it!"
Hearing this, it seems that it is not for the young or the old.
Finally, Bi Cheng took out the money and laughed, "Mom, just ten dollars? I'm already old, just give me ten dollars."
Bi Yue awkwardly shows her money.
Bi Cheng sighed. "Mom, it's okay if you gave less, but why are you so partial? Why is my sister only given twenty?"
"Because she has big claws and is a spendthrift."
Bi Yue...
Liu Yafang took out the biggest red envelope from her pocket and turned to Bi Tielin who had just returned from the restroom: "Here." This was ten ten-yuan bills, a truly unprecedentedly large red envelope.
Bi Tielin was stunned for a moment: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
