Doing housework was already the limit for Wang. She was simply unable to farm. She hadn't moved much for more than a decade, and the last autumn harvest almost broke her skin. Now that she comes again, they might as well torture her to death.
"Mom, I..."
"Hurry up and go. Everyone at my old man's house has gone there. What are you still dawdling about?"
The old man’s family is used to it. They are thick-skinned and tough. How can they compare with her? Didn’t you ask her to come back and take care of the old man?
You guys can handle it, why ask her to do it?
Are you sick?
Wang gritted her teeth in hatred, glanced at the silent old man, picked up her farm tools, and walked out of the house angrily.
Those two old guys must have deliberately called her back to do hard labor.
In the evening, Wang, feeling exhausted, sat at the dinner table. She was so tired that she didn't even have the energy to eat.
"I don't know what's happening with the head of the household. Ruxin's mother knows that. Now she's all alone. I'm really worried that the head of the household won't have enough to eat."
She knew that her mother-in-law loved Zhao Dawen the most. Only by using him as a raft can we hope to escape.
Old Mrs. Sun's brows moved slightly. The old man had guessed it right. She knew that this woman was a sneaky and cunning person. "Wait a little longer, and go back after the spring ploughing is over."
Humph, if you want to go back to the city and enjoy life, wait until next life. As long as Ruxin is here, Dawen will definitely have someone to serve him. Keeping her after the spring plowing is over would be a waste of food, so she could leave by then.
Wang's plan failed and he looked depressed.
"Dad, let's find an inn and go to the temple to burn incense." At this time of year, there are a lot of pilgrims going to the temple to burn incense. Zhao Xiaoyu saw the bustling crowds from a distance, and she also wanted to join in the fun, climb the mountain, burn incense, and have some fun.
Song was tempted, but she had never been to a temple or burned incense to the Bodhisattva. Could it be that the Bodhisattva did not give her a son because she was not filial?
"Let's go up the mountain tomorrow."
My wife and daughter both want to go, what else can Zhao Dashu say? He waved his whip and said, "Qian, go into the city and find an inn."
"Uncle, where is the best inn in this county?"
The person being asked was about the same age as Zhao Dashu, and his face immediately turned dark. You called me uncle? Is this person blind? How the hell are you lighter than me? He could barely accept being called "big brother", "uncle", heh...
"have no idea!"
Zhao Dashu looked at his back with a confused look on his face. What happened to this guy? Why don’t you tell me the way when I ask for it? Are people from county towns amazing? Pulling yarn?
"Ma'am, may I ask..."
The woman being questioned glared at Zhao Dashu fiercely, then turned around and didn't even bother to listen to him finish.
Oh shit!
"Girl, shall we continue on our journey? The people here don't seem normal. They even charge 50,000 or 80,000 yuan for an inn."
Zhao Xiaoyu was speechless. "Dad, they really have a good attitude and good manners. If it were me, I would give you a big slap on the spot."
His face is full of wrinkles when he smiles. How can he be so confident that he feels he is young? How can you have the nerve to call people of the same age uncle or aunt?
"Dad, do you want me to buy you a bronze mirror so you can look at the wrinkles on your face? You look older than the uncle just now. Why are you calling him uncle?"
"How is that possible? I'm still a handsome guy!" As he said that, he touched his face, which was quite smooth.
Still a handsome guy? Bah, shameless. Zhao Xiaoyu despised Zhao Dashu's narcissism.
"Ask mom how old you are now, and you still work in the fields every day. The bronze mirror can't see clearly, so you can just look at Uncle Shunzi. Dad, you have more wrinkles on your face than Uncle Shunzi, especially when you smile, the corners of your eyes are full of wrinkles."
Zhao Dashu felt unwell. What kind of incense are you burning? He didn't want to go at all. Now I just want to find a place to have a good cry for his lost youth.
"Fuck, do I really look that old?"
Song also felt that he was embarrassing, and just as she was about to look at him, she said, "Really, you look four or five years older than Shunzi." She was an honest person and could not lie.
Especially the head of the family must not lie. What did the daughter say? Oh, it will be bright if given some sunshine. We must not let him get too cocky or he will get embarrassed in the future.
Zhao Dashu's heart was broken, and his wife said so too, so he was really old.
“It’s all because of my parents, who force me to work hard every day, causing me to age prematurely.
Just ask your mother, was I handsome when I was young? How could she marry me without any dowry if I'm not handsome? ”
Song said nothing and walked into the carriage.
Zhao Xiaoyu ignored him. He was already drunk even without drinking. He didn't expect that his father cared so much about his face.
"Uncle, which inn is better in the county? How?"
"Qingfeng Inn, just turn left ahead."
"Thank you, uncle."
He turned and looked at his father innocently, "Dad, did you hear that?"
"Well, I need to have a good meal tonight to replenish my body. I'm so sad."
"Okay, it's okay to eat well when we're out, but we can't drink. We all need you to take care of our whole family."
"Of course, am I such a fool?"
After asking for directions and with the carriage available, the inn was naturally easy to find.
They booked two superior rooms and asked their son about the best local restaurant. That evening, the whole family went there to try the food.
"This, this, and another one..." Zhao Dashu looked at the menu and ordered a lot.
The unhappiness of the afternoon was swept away and he was now extremely happy. Because he found that he knew most of the words on the menu, and even if he didn't know all of them, he could still guess them.
He, Zhao Dashu, finally no longer had to go out in the dark, as his daughter called him blind.
The family has limited appetite, so he only ordered three dishes and one soup, just enough to eat and no food should be wasted.
The dishes were served, a plate of stir-fried Wuqi meat, a plate of braised lamb, a plate of vegetables, and a soup. Although the dishes are simple, the quantity is sufficient.
After dinner, the family took a walk to help digest the food. "Dad, I want to eat candied haws."
"You're the only one who's greedy. You just had a meal." He said with disgust, but his feet went towards the candied haws stall.
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the red hawthorns and couldn't help drooling, "Dad, I want one too."
Zhao Dashu was surprised. Wow, the sun rose from the west, and the eldest daughter actually ate the baby's snacks today.
"purchase!"
Must buy!
Taking the candied haws back to the inn, Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the bed in the inn. He felt uncomfortable thinking that countless people had slept on it. "Mom, let's change the bedding to our own."
"Ah? Okay!" My daughter is too particular. What should I do when she gets married?
