Qiao's mother and Qiao's fourth aunt made a lot of food and divided it into two portions.

Qiao Sigu looked at this thing that was obviously more than the raw materials she brought, pursed her lower lip, and did not refuse in the end.

She knew that since the second sister-in-law gave her things, it meant that the family had a surplus, and it would not be too late to return it slowly when her family situation improved in the future.

Fourth Aunt Qiao took Xu Yu and the twins back, and the house was deserted all of a sudden.

When the mother and daughter were alone, Qiao Jiayue told the story of Aunt Qiao and Grandma Qiao.

"Why do I feel a little awkward?" Qiao Jiayue said suspiciously, in her previous life, she hardly had to face these interpersonal relationships.

Especially these relationships in the family, all of which she has to relearn and understand.

Qiao's mother thought for a while and said, "Your fourth aunt is a soft-hearted person, especially for relatives. Your grandmother would rather suffer herself and give things to others, your fourth aunt has scolded, cried and beaten before, but it is useless. ”

Later, she came up with this method, only sending food, forcing your grandmother to eat it, and if she didn't eat it, she would throw it in the ditch or pig trough on the spot. ”

"After a few times, your grandmother will know that she has eaten everything brought by your fourth aunt on the spot, and she will no longer think about who to leave it to. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao's mother also laughed.

Qiao Jiayue rarely goes to Grandpa Qiao's side, and she really doesn't know that Fourth Aunt Qiao has such an attitude towards Grandma Qiao, "Fourth Aunt, she is really well-intentioned!"

Qiao's mother smiled, "Who said it wasn't?" It's just that how many people can understand?

When they are daughters-in-law, they only have to give things filial piety, and they don't care how the old man arranges them.

And how could Grandma Qiao's sons have such careful thoughts? To be exact, they don't have the patience to correct an old man's bad habits at all.

Qiao Jiayue thought, there are some things that really can't be seen on the surface. And the relationship between relatives is not simple, and the feelings can be broken.

"But some people say that the fourth aunt is unfilial and yells at her grandmother. Qiao Jiayue said with some dissatisfaction.

There are basically no secrets about the family affairs of the peasants, and most people like to judge the family affairs of other people's houses and give a conclusion self-righteously.

"These people are just trying to satisfy their gossip. Qiao's mother twisted her fingers and tied a knot at the end of the line.

"I really can't look at the surface of things, if you don't give me an analysis, I'm afraid I think the fourth aunt hates grandma. ”

"So, ah, we have to think a little bit more about it, and not just look at the surface, it's easy to be deceived. ”

Qiao's mother hesitated, she didn't give any other examples, some things, peeling off the surface of the film, there are too many unbearable inside.

"Auntie, make an extra pocket on my clothes. Qiao Jiayue poked her head over and saw Qiao's mother picking up her new clothes.

This year's clothes are basically made by Qiao's mother with a sewing machine, except for some details that need to be hand-sewn.

Qiao's mother lifted her clothes and looked at them, shook her head and said, "You can't add more pockets, it's not good-looking." She handed the needle to Qiao Jiayue, "Oh, this time you sew the button yourself." ”

Sewing and mending is not difficult for Qiao Jiayue, it can be said to be very easy.

There are almost no girls with this idea who can't do needlework, and even if they can't make clothes, they can still do the most basic sewing.

"Be careful, don't get pricked. Qiao's mother glanced at it, and saw that Qiao Jiayue's movements were in shape, and lowered her head to sew buttonholes for the clothes of her three sons.

Qiao Jiayue took out five light brown wavy round buckles, arranged them one by one, picked up the needle and began to nail the buttons.

These buttons were the same ones they had bought when they went to the sea market, the smallest ones were the size of soybeans, the largest were the size of coins, and they were of different colors.

And the surface of the buckle has a variety of low-key patterns, small and exquisite.

These inconspicuous things have become rare ornaments on clothing.

After a while, Qiao's mother saw that Qiao Jiayue was almost sewn, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's a good sewing, and after the New Year, my mother will teach you to sew patches." ”

This patch is also exquisite, and if you want to sew it beautifully and not violate the harmony, it requires a lot of technology.

"Thank you, mother. Qiao Jiayue said with a smile.

Qiao Jiayue and their family only make a new set of clothes a year, after all, this is passed out, everyone can see it, naturally the more inconspicuous the better.

As for underwear and underwear, they are made of fine cotton cloth and changed regularly.

No one pays much attention to this, after all, it is good to have clothes to wear, and many people have underwear and underwear for many years.

"I heard Lijuan say that she knows a lot about Lilan, do you know?" Qiao's mother has kept this matter in mind since she listened to Qiao's words that day.

It would be difficult to ask Fourth Aunt Qiao, so it was not easy to ask Father Qiao in a vacancy.

As soon as Qiao's father heard Qiao's mother ask, he didn't want to hide it, sighed, and organized words to explain.

When Grandma Qiao gave birth to her fifth child, the child's umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, and it disappeared as soon as it came out, and almost at the same time, her sister-in-law happened to give birth to a daughter.

When Grandma Qiao was young, she listened to her parents the most, and even if her mother-in-law was pressing on her head, she still carefully pulled things to her parents.

The key is that not long after Grandma Qiao gave birth, Grandpa Qiao brought back the current Aunt Qiao from outside.

He asked Grandma Qiao to raise Aunt Qiao as his daughter.

No matter how Grandma Qiao asked, Grandpa Qiao just didn't say the origin of Aunt Qiao, and Grandma Qiao was still in confinement, so she thought that Grandpa Qiao had failed her, and she was sad for a while.

And Grandma Qiao's mother's family knew about this, and privately comforted her, instilling in her that some in-laws were not good for her, and only her mother's family was the most reliable.

What's more, those people also found a Taoist priest to make up a story in style, saying that the daughter of Grandma Qiao's death was actually reincarnated in her eldest brother's daughter, that is, her niece.

Gradually, Grandma Qiao decided that the niece was her daughter, and moved more and more things to her mother's house.

At that time, Mrs. Qiao was still there, and she scolded Grandma Qiao a lot, but she couldn't reverse her idea.

And Grandpa Qiao seemed to think that he owed something to Grandma Qiao, so he indulged her behavior a little, so that later, there was no way to change it.

In addition, the relationship between Grandma Qiao and Grandpa Qiao is getting worse and worse, even if she gave birth to two more sons later, it did not make the relationship between the couple better.

Grandma Qiao is all on her niece's side, and she naturally neglects several children.

And her behavior had a huge impact on the childhood of Qiao's father and several brothers and sisters.

They are disgusted and resentful about Grandma Qiao's partiality, how can they take good care of Grandma Qiao when she is old?

After hearing such a story, Qiao's mother didn't know what to say.

The change in a family is really multifaceted by many factors.

The individual and the environment are intertwined, and finally it becomes such a complex emotional relationship.
