“Enough, Lao Er’s family, she didn’t just blurt it out.” Old Mrs Zhu was clearly biased towards Zhao, and in her words, she was saying that Chen was making a big deal out of it.
“Mother, why are you so, this is not a matter, which have their own family members so slander their own family members! My son is still, can’t afford to be tossed around.” Zhao raised her eyebrows and retorted, protecting Zhu Pingan like a mother hen protecting her young.
“Second sister-in-law, why are you talking to mother like this.” Zhao avoided the important and changed the topic, accusing Chen of disrespecting Old Madam Zhu.
“You’re just good at fanning the flames!” Chen sneered.
“Enough, have a meal, even a thing.” Elder Zhu knocked on his tobacco pouch and glared at his second son and his son, meaning that he wanted them to take a look at his daughter-in-law, so that they wouldn’t have to eat a meal in peace.
Zhu Shouyi reached out and pulled Chen’s hand, let her sit down to eat, Chen’s face is not happy, but still give her husband face to sit back.
“Father, I am also for the good of our family, in case the evil has been hit, adding bad luck to our family, that would be disastrous.” Zhao’s face was a bit snappy, but she still smiled and kept her mouth shut on the matter of being bewitched.
“f*ck you!” Seeing that Zhao was still not relenting, Chen instantly became furious and wanted to go up and scratch her.
“It’s degrading to have every cent counted.” His own eldest uncle, who had a face of innocence and unearthly splendour, shook his head and sighed as he threw out his sleeves for a bit.
Auntie watched with great interest, did not discourage, but also at the side of the efforts to cultivate the elegance of everyone’s wife, thinking that one day her husband passed the examination, she will be a scholar’s wife, if her husband won the Lifu, she will be the wife of an official, how to cultivate the body’s elegance out. Seeing the two siblings without image of splashing and quarrelling, more and more feel that they are superior, style through.
However, Zhu Pingan is scornful of his great aunt, if it is a big lady, this has long put out the dispute, not like the great aunt this look at the joke.
But looking at his grandfather’s black face, Zhu Pingan felt that this was not a good sign, after all, this was the era of feudal patriarchy, with a reputation of unfiliality, in the village, but to be poked in the backbone.
“Mother, fourth aunt, what’s wrong with you guys?” Zhu Pingan finished washing his hands and walked with short legs to his mother’s side, raising his fleshy face to ask curiously.
Being so cute and still so polite, affectionately greeting the Fourth Aunt, it made the Fourth Aunt, who had just denigrated Zhu Pingan, blush a little.
“Your fourth aunt you’re possessed.” Chen glared at Zhao and exasperatedly said.
“Mother, what do you mean by being possessed?” Zhu Pingan asked like a curious baby.
So Chen glared at Zhao again.
The old man also turned his gaze towards Zhao with a few moments of dissatisfaction. Zhao smiled, also feeling that she had made a big deal out of it, but she still couldn’t let go of her face, bending down to coax Zhu Pingan to ask, “Swine child, auntie asked you, why did you start washing your face recently.”
Zhu Pingan is not really a five year old child, naturally will not let his words reveal the handle to her to catch, body upside down ran to Chen’s arms, comfortable leaning, big eyes full of innocent looking at Zhao, “Last time the swine child is sick, to swine child to see the old bearded grandfather swine child because of the hands of dirty that thing to eat to eat a bad stomach, swine child do not want to drink bitter medicine, so according to the old grandfather’s Wash your hands and face before eating.”
Although it is shameful to be cute and ridiculous to pretend to be young, but a five year old fart boy you mature one try? I’m tired of living! Want to go make barbecue to endorse yourself (with salt) ah!
To the white-bearded grandfather doctor’s time, Zhu Pingan traces of look at the expression of the crowd, we basically have been convinced force, to know that Zhu Pingan also did his homework, this white-bearded grandfather is not a simple person, people are famous inside the county famous doctor, usually seldom out of the clinic, even if out of the clinic is also to the officials and noblemen, the last time to Zhu Pingan to see the doctor is a complete coincidence, to visit a friend on the way to see the Zhu family panic by chance! The last time I saw Zhu Pingan was a coincidence, I happened to pass by on my way to visit friends and saw Zhu’s family in panic.
“Well this matter ends here, in the future no one should mention anything about evil spirits and monsters and such things, all are my Zhu family’s good children and grandchildren, if I hear any bad rumours about my own family outside, don’t blame me for moving the ancestor’s family law!” Elder Zhu was still able to distinguish between light and heavy, and didn’t let his daughters-in-law argue endlessly, a timely slap on the table ended the argument between his daughters-in-law.
The family and all things are prosperous, prosperous people is also a very important part of the family prosperity, Zhu old masters will not allow bad rumours about the family appeared, he is day and night looking forward to the family in their own hands to flourish it.
The argument was put to rest, the old man put down the tobacco bag, moved chopsticks.
Zhu master moved the first chopsticks, the Zhu family began dinner, very ancient feudal patriarchal colours, more than ten days, Zhu Pingan this is not strange. The only thing that is still difficult to accept is the meal on the table, the so-called dish is boiled with salt or steamed with salt, the impression of stir-frying seems to be the middle of the Qing Dynasty to extract vegetable oil method came out before the gradual popularity of stir-frying, now stir-frying is supposed to be the patent of the rich family, the peasant family does not want to use animal oil to stir-fry vegetables. The staple food is a variety of grains to do the nest, like buns and cakes, the taste is very bad hiccups throat, half a day’s effort to swallow, the taste of porridge is acceptable, just too thin.
Eating at the table is rationed, the amount is controlled by Mrs Zhu, men are two cakes, women and children only one, porridge is also differentiated, men in front of the thick, women and children in front of the soup.
Grandmother Zhu old lady also biased, divided into cakes and porridge is also treated differently, the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle’s two families are divided into cakes are large, their own family and the third uncle’s family are, and the Zhu family uncle will have three cakes, the reason is that he has to study the brain. There are many other examples of such favouritism, and for dishes like scrambled eggs, which are not often made, Mrs Zhu also distributes more to her eldest and fourth uncles.
Especially today, I don’t know whether it’s to compensate or what, from time to time to give the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt clip scrambled eggs, the fourth aunt also intentionally or unintentionally show off to the mother Chen, the result will be the mother provoked almost did not go up to bite her two mouths. The whole dinner table, the swords are tense, the wind is quiet, Cheng Feng world is not peaceful.
I remember when I first came to wear, Zhu Pingan also tried to clip the eggs, the result was grandmother with chopsticks blocked, eggs are for adults to replenish the body, they are tired of working, just Zhu Pingan has not seen grandmother to share the eggs to father.
The family has a difficult lesson to read ah.
Not having enough to eat, not being able to eat well, this is definitely a life-threatening punishment for foodies.
After all, Zhu Pingan is a person with a mental age of more than twenty years, he can still endure it, just looking at the loli Yu’er in the third aunt’s arms, she can’t stop biting her fingers and staring at the eggs with big watery eyes, she can’t bear it.
Mother Chen, the third aunt and the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt at the dinner table will often because of a variety of reasons to dispute, such as took the same cake, clip the same dish ah and so on, in short, the dinner table will not be quiet is it.
In fact, many of the family’s contradictions come down to one word, poor, if there are thousands of family money, will not be because of these things to produce conflict, the so-called poor people short of ambition, horse thin hair long.
However, look at their own arms and legs, to get rich can be said to be much more difficult, many of the experience of the previous life here is very difficult to work, and their own professional and ancient Chinese literature, for the invention of these inventions do not pass, and even for the girls crossing the text of frying cooking and other life skills are not proficient, of course, is not their own useless, they at least more than a couple of hundred years of experience and common sense and knowledge of ancient Chinese, the task is a long way to go. The first thing I want to do is to get rich, but it’s not unattainable.
