The eldest in the family is an old man.
"Just bear with it."
"But if she comes, you will have no place to sleep in such a cold weather."
"Leave half for your milk. Let's both lie on our sides and squeeze."
The old man only cares about himself and doesn't care whether they have a place to sleep or where to sleep.
Zhao Dashu, who lived on the side of the old house, had no idea what was going on. He only knew that on the second day, when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, he did not see his father, but his second brother Zhao Dayong.
Why didn’t Dad come? He has never missed any of these things even though he was so old. I saw him yesterday and he was still in good health.
Logically speaking, even if dad didn't come, it wouldn't be second brother's turn, because eldest brother is still at home?
"Third brother."
"Second brother."
Zhao Dayong brought a sacrifice, which was a pound of meat and five big coins.
He glanced at the two pounds of meat and fifty copper coins that Zhao Dashu had prepared, and felt depressed. If it weren't for his family, their family would be the most prominent and give the most money during the sacrifice today.
"Where's Dad?"
Zhao Dayong looked at him speechlessly, such a big thing had happened, and he didn't even know about it?
"Rest at home."
"uncomfortable?"
"No, it's just that the roads are slippery on snowy days, and he's already a year older, so I was afraid he'd fall and get cold, so I thought, let him stay home."
Zhao Dashu believed it and said, "That's true."
Other tribesmen who listened to their conversation said: How come Zhao Laosan is so easily fooled now? Afraid he'd slip? Haha, I’m afraid that after a while, the old man won’t even have the face to show up?
I really didn't expect that Old Man Zhao would be such a person!
“Chief!”
“Chief!”
The clan leader looked at Zhao Dashu and Zhao Dayong, thinking of what his disappointing younger brother had done yesterday, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn't like either of them. However, Zhao Dashu is no longer the same as before, and he can only suppress his disgust and say, "They are all here!"
After exchanging pleasantries, they began to worship their ancestors. It was the first time for Zhao Dashu to attend an ancestor worship ceremony, and so was Zhao Dayong. Both of them were very surprised. After reciting the long sacrificial text, the clan leader looked at the sacrificial offerings from each family, gathered them together, and began to arrange them.
The money will be kept for repairing the ancestral hall and will be recorded in the public account. After the meal and ancestor worship, everyone will collect the money together and each person will take some home.
Zhao Dashu ate about three taels of meat and five steamed buns, and everyone ate the same.
"Third brother!" It was a rare opportunity for Zhao Dayong to chat with Zhao Dashu alone, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity to enhance their relationship.
"What's wrong?"
"My daughter Zhaodi said she hasn't seen Xiaoyu for a long time and she missed him. Can she come to your house to play with Xiaoyu when she's free? And we two brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, how about we go to your house to chat together?"
"Not very good. Shunzi lives in my house now. Xiaoyu and Chunmiao get along very well and have no shortage of playmates. Besides, doesn't your Zhaodi really dislike our Xiaoyu? She used to scold her like a dead girl every day and bully her and make her work hard."
Zhao Dayong was speechless. How could he remember Chen Yujiu so clearly?
"When the child was little, she didn't understand. Now that she's grown up, she knows the love between sisters. She knows who she belongs to. Dazhu, Erzhu, and Sanzhu often talk about how much they miss their uncle."
Let me go to your house. There are a few idiots in your family. I was most afraid of being adopted by him and would run away when I saw him. I miss him. Damn it, my second brother is lying with open eyes. He is even worse than him.
"My family is waiting for me, so I'll go back first. There's really no need for us two brothers to reminisce about the past. After all, we haven't been able to hang out together since we were little. The second brother and the eldest brother are the most compatible. Now that the eldest brother is at home, you can just have a good chat with him."
Zhao Dayong was so angry that his nose was crooked. He didn't expect that Zhao Dashu would be so disrespectful to him. He took the initiative to show goodwill to him, but he didn't even respond to his argument.
Can you blame them for not being close to him before? With his current character, who could possibly like him?
