How can he not eat? He is almost starving to death, okay? He had over-exercised in the morning and was still weak. He had just run around and was now tired and hungry. Thinking about having to keep watch at night, he felt like crying.
Not eating is unbearable even for a tough guy. Dad is older than me, do we have to force him to quarrel?
"father!"
Old man Zhao glanced at him coldly, and just one glance was enough to make Zhao Dawen shudder and feel a chill on his back.
I almost forgot, my dad is a tough guy.
"Okay, I'll give half of mine to Xiaohong." One steamed bun and five dumplings should be enough for her, right?
But, he is really not enough!
Wang sneered on the side.
They really can share the joys and sorrows. I didn't realize how long we have been together, and Zhao Dawen can still be so considerate.
When Zhao Dawen came back after delivering the meal, everyone was already eating and no one was waiting for him. Including his three children and daughter-in-law.
She sat down unhappily and planned to take Wang's dumplings. She was not worthy of eating ten.
Wang snatched the bowl and said, "Boss, yours is over there." As she said that, she lowered her head and picked at the dumplings in her bowl.
Zhao Dawen: ...
Old Sun was not happy. "You are from an old family. Your husband is hungry. How can you have the nerve to eat so much? He took..."
"Just shut up and sit down to eat. It's yours, so eat your own. Boss, eat your own portion, and get out if you take someone else's."
Zhao Dawen couldn't believe what he heard. In his father's heart, he was not as good as Wang's little bitch?
Did she cast a spell on her father?
Old man Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him now. After the summer, he would give the brainless idiot a good scolding.
Zhao Ruxin and the other two boys ignored Zhao Dawen. Ever since that woman came in, they didn't want to see this father anymore.
Zhao Dawen was so bored that he didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. His life was so miserable.
After the meal, we stay up all night.
Wang and Li lit three stoves, and the whole family gathered in the two old people's room to celebrate the New Year.
The two old men were leaning against the head of the kang, and the others were all sitting on small stools. The small room was packed with people. It's like this every day, they are used to it.
Why not in the main room? If the two old kids are too old, they really can’t stand sitting there and staying up all night. The stool was hard and I could only put my feet on the ground. That was not enough, it was also cold.
The kang is so comfortable. You can lean on it, and when you are tired, you can lie down for a while. You can do whatever makes you comfortable.
"Old lady, bring the melon seeds and candies from the cupboard and give some to everyone."
How can you stay up all night to celebrate the New Year without eating some snacks? It's really boring just staring at each other. Today, no one is in the mood to chat, it's all quiet. Although there were people in the room, it felt very quiet.
"Well, good!"
The old woman has always liked lively occasions, and she was unable to react for a while to the silence at home.
What happened to Jinyu? What about each mouth?
Zhao Dashu's home.
After dinner, Zhao Xiaoyu got a bunch of snacks. The whole family sat on the big bed in Zhao Dashu's house. There was a low table filled with all kinds of food.
"Come on, Mom and Dad, Li Xi, let's stay up together to celebrate the New Year."
The room was warm. Zhao Xiaoyu felt that the only thing missing was the lack of a TV and the Spring Festival Gala to kill time.
Zhao Dashu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Let's play cards. I'll move a low table over."
"Okay, let's play with silver!"
“It’s a must.”
The Song family was forced to leave their camp and put all the food on the table under the bed. They decided what to eat and Li Xi was responsible for sitting cross-legged.
Before they knew it, it was late at night. Li Xi was too young to hold on any longer and fell asleep at the head of the bed. Song carried her into bed and came back to continue fighting with them.
After playing cards for a whole winter, she has become quite good at it. The most important thing was that she learned how to remember the cards, and she remembered them better than Zhao Dashu. So, that night, the one who lost the most was Zhao Dashu.
"Dad, give me money!"
"My private savings were won by you two. Did you two collude with each other?"
Zhao Xiaoyu despised him, "Don't make excuses if you are not as skilled as others. A man should be able to afford to lose."
Zhao Dashu: ...
After playing until midnight, Zhao Xiaoyu yawned and prepared to go back to the house. Zhao Dashu said, "Today, parents are sleeping together. It's late at night, and the whole family is together."
"Okay." She didn't want to go back alone.
The bed was quite warm, so she fell asleep immediately. She had never stayed up late since coming here, so she was not used to it when she suddenly did.
Zhao Dashu was extremely satisfied when he saw his daughter lying down and falling asleep as soon as he told her to. Xiaoyu in their family was very sensible and obedient.
Song also yawned loudly, "Boss, go to bed quickly. You have to go to pay respects to your parents early in the morning."
"Well, go to bed."
On the first day of the New Year, the whole family wore new clothes. Li Xi wore pink and had two small buns on her head with two velvet flowers on them. She looked as cute as a doll.
Zhao Xiaoyu was also wearing red, embroidered with a yellow Yingchunying pattern, and on her head she wore a Taoying hollow silver hairpin bought in the city. The two sisters were both wearing red long cotton skirts, and silver jewels and silver bracelets. Standing together, they looked extremely festive and made people feel happy just by looking at them.
Song and Zhao Dashu also put on new clothes and looked particularly energetic. Song was wearing a dark red cotton jacket with delicate peony patterns embroidered on the lapels, which made her look dignified and festive. Her hair was combed neatly, with a silver hairpin inlaid with rubies in it, and small gold earrings hanging on her earlobes. She looked very elegant and like a wealthy lady.
Zhao Dashu was wearing a navy blue robe made of thick material, which made him look particularly tall.
The family stands together, prosperous and full of joy. Li Xi smiled and circled around Song and Zhao Dashu, singing: "A new year has come, a new year is coming, wear new clothes, wear a new hat, and every household is setting off firecrackers!"
"Who taught you this, girl?"
"My eldest sister taught me."
Zhao Xiaoyu was speechless. This girl betrayed her completely as soon as she asked the question.
"I knew it was you. Come on, let's go pay our respects to your grandparents."
"Okay!" Zhao Liying didn't want to go to the old house at all. There, people always scolded her and beat her. She held Zhao Xiaoyu's hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, follow me, no one will dare to bully you."
Little Liying nodded, saying that if she followed her elder sister she would not be bullied and she would also have meat to eat.
"Oh, you got up so early? What a nice new bed!"
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu's new coat is ready."
Liu Shunzi took out two red envelopes from his arms and gave them.
Zhao Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow. The first red envelope as a bride was not given by the Liu family.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
