Sending Han Yingxue away, Tian Xiuyun began to get busy again, thanks to the fact that she often does these jobs, and there are several worthless girls in the family like her, even Tian Xiufang, who is still favored on weekdays, was also pulled out to participate, not to mention the daughters-in-law of her grandchildren, who also have a lot of time to participate in housework during the cat winter.

After all, it is the annual Chinese New Year's Eve, even if the Tian family is not a family with good conditions, and because there are many children and grandchildren, the family has a lot of debts, but this year because of the hunting accident, the Tian family really divided a lot of wild boar, so Grandma Tian planned to prepare well this Chinese New Year's Eve early on.

Grandma Tian sat in the kitchen, staring at the work in everyone's hands, and regretted that her old son would not come back this year, and she was also very dissatisfied with her little daughter-in-law, but who let her father-in-law be the director of the town's town party committee office, their family could not afford to offend, and they could only express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Milk, when will I be able to eat, I'm starving to death. Tian Hongpeng, who went out to play crazy and came back, ran into the yard and shouted, as the saying goes, half the size eats Lao Tzu, Tian Hongpeng, who is 12 years old during the New Year, has begun to develop his body, and he needs a lot of energy every day, plus running around all day long, he will be hungry faster.

"It's almost okay, it's almost okay, grandma will give you that snack first. "I have always loved my grandson Grandma Tian, although Tian Hongpeng has been raised crookedly by Zhao Chunmei, but he is better than sweet mouth, so he is still very favored in front of Grandma Tian.

"Okay. Tian Hongpeng is actually hungry for meat, after coming back from the meat, Grandma Tian did not make meat dishes, but waited until thirty to make them, so Tian Hongpeng was anxious in the past few days, but he also knew that this was Grandma Tian's idea, so he endured it.

Grandma Tian took Tian Hongpeng back to the house, and called the other grandsons who had nothing to do in the yard in, and gave a piece of the pastries she bought back a year ago.

Wang Pingqiu, the sister-in-law in the lobby who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, pursed her lips and whispered to the second sister-in-law Wu Hong on the side, "See, the old lady is eccentric." ”

The daughters-in-law of the grandchildren of the entire Tian family are just the two of them, and they are all from the big house, so the relationship is usually okay in private, and the two have no children when they marry in.

"That's nothing, our family is not separated, and we have to listen to the two elders for everything. Wu Hong didn't feel good in her heart, her family was from the Xiangshan Brigade, a little far from here, when she got married, she thought that the Tian family had so many children and grandchildren, and life should be good, but the truth was far from the same.

"Well, not really. Wang Pingqiu also sighed, she has been married for two years, and her stomach has not moved, and the second aunt has been talking nonsense about this matter all day long, and her mother-in-law looks at her on weekdays There is something wrong.

Tian Xiuyun listened to the conversation between the two sisters-in-law, and the undercurrent in her eyes surged through it, it was impossible for the Tian family to separate. Grandma Tian lived to be over eighty years old in her last life, and she always held the power of the Tian family until her death.

In the evening, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which had been cleaned up for most of the day, was served one after another, one table for men and one table for women. The Tian family has always been a patriarchal family, so the dinner table will always be divided into male and female tables, regardless of generation, only according to gender, but Grandma Tian, as one of the patriarchs, although she can sit at a table with a man, is worried that her younger grandson will not be able to grab delicious food at the women's table, so she often eats with the women's table.

"Seeing that another year is about to pass, next year our family will work hard again to try to pay off the famine owed to the team as soon as possible. "Old man Tian speaks before cooking, which is also one of the few times in the year when the old man will take the initiative to speak.

"Yes, your younger brother is in the town all the year round, and the family still has to rely on your three brothers to work hard. Grandma Tian said to the three brothers.

"Father, mother, don't worry. The three named brothers immediately developed a guarantee.

After the end of the annual year-end summary, the firecrackers were lit, and the dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve officially kicked off. At this time, there was no TV, no entertainment, and there was a lot of gossip in the village at the dinner table.

Because it is rare for the children to eat meat once, they are all smiling, that is, they are disobedient on weekdays, and they will also sit at the table honestly, waving the chopsticks in their hands.

Tian Xiuyun was holding a rare dry rice, although it was mixed rice, it was much stronger than the porridge on weekdays. Fortunately, she has space, and she can go to the space to fight tooth sacrifices if she has nothing to do, so she is not hungry for food, just eating dry rice in the bowl and occasionally sandwiching some sauerkraut.

In this way, the feeling to others is that Tian Xiuyun is timid and cowardly, and she doesn't even dare to clip the dishes, but only Tian Xiuyun understands in her heart, don't look at this is Chinese New Year's Eve, but if she dares to pick up meat dishes, it is estimated that Zhao Chunmei will jump up first without waiting for Grandma Tian to say anything.

I didn't see that the second sister was discovered by Zhao Chunmei because she secretly sandwiched a piece of meat, so she beat it mercilessly, and gave the meat that didn't reach her mouth to Tian Hongpeng.

Tian Xiuyun smiled in her heart, looking at Tian Xiuru's aggrieved look, she didn't dare to clip meat without looking at a table of granddaughters, so Tian Xiufang dared to clip it once or twice because she was favored. Even the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law used cakes to dip some broth, and they didn't dare to clip the meat. This is the norm of the Tian family, whether it is a daughter-in-law or a granddaughter, there is no qualification to eat meat, and these good things must be followed by the men in the family first.

Tian Xiuru couldn't figure out this matter every year, and she would be beaten every year for stretching out her chopsticks to pick up the meat. Sometimes Tian Xiuyun doesn't fail to understand this perennial gluttonous behavior, but she is just curious why she can be so persistent, it is better to be like the two cousins-in-law, dip the soup in cakes, which is somewhat meaty.

Of course, Tian Xiuru is so persevering because she was stimulated by Tian Xiufang, she always felt that she was both granddaughters, and the second uncle's family was not just a daughter, so why could Tian Xiufang live better than her.

When Tian Xiulian, the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family, was not married, she often helped Tian Xiufang to work, and when Tian Xiulian got married, Tian Xiufang still didn't have to do any work. And they have three rooms, only since the eldest sister was beaten, they no longer help her and the younger sister to do things, and the father and mother have always looked down on their girls, and their lives are getting worse and worse, and their hearts are even more resentful.

Tian Xiuyun didn't know Tian Xiuru's thoughts, and she didn't want to know. The Tian family is just a familiar stranger to her, and maybe according to what the Tian family did to her, they are not even as good as strangers.

The only three views of the entire Tian family are normal, and they are honest that is, the lobby brother and sister of the eldest uncle's family, as for Tian Hongwei of the second uncle's family, she is three or four years younger than her, although she looks pragmatic at the moment, but I don't know if I can persist in such an environment in the future without being led crooked.

It is said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, Tian Xiuyun sometimes thinks that in fact, she also has the selfishness and ruthlessness of the Tian family in her bones, otherwise she would not have set fire to Widow Zhao's mother and son in her previous life when she was desperate.

But Tian Xiuyun feels that what is different between herself and the Tian family is that her three views are not crooked, at least she can distinguish between right and wrong, and the starting point of selfishness is not to hurt others.

This may be the same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, in the same living environment of the Tian family, everyone's personality is different, and if there can be a good personality, it can be regarded as the ancestors of the Tian family who are not too deep.
