The 567th round
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, as soon as the sky dawned, the main courtyard of the mansion was already boiling, and the noise was faintly transmitted to the guest rooms.
Fortunately, the children have developed the habit of going to bed early and waking up early since childhood, and usually wakes up earlier than her at home, and now they don't need their parents to worry about washing and dressing.
Of course, Xiao Ran also needs Xiao Neng's assistance.
Not long after Su Xing got up, Bai Shaohua followed, and the family prepared for the birthday celebration.
Before his retirement, his second uncle worked in the city prosecutor's office, and he became ill from hard work and retired in his fifties. Every year's birthday is not publicized, and this year's birthday banquet was not fanfare, only a few colleagues, friends and successors came to celebrate.
In addition, most of the guests were relatives of the Bai family.
Sure enough, the other elders of the Bai family were not as good at talking as the uncles of the Bai family, and when they learned that Bai Shaohua came back with his family to celebrate his birthday, he popped out of his mouth from time to time, "Finally, my brother/brother and wife did not raise him in vain."
Naturally, several uncles had to speak for him.
The uncle said that his nephew grew up abroad and didn't care about these.
The second uncle said that for the sake of his birthday today, please don't spoil the atmosphere.
The third uncle didn't speak, and the third aunt spoke for him, asking the uncles to scold Bai Shaohua fiercely, and then ordered him to go back to Bai's house every Spring Festival to live in vain for his grandfather's raising.
Some wives are really strict.
Basically, as long as the third aunt speaks, the third uncle always acts as a mute. Even if I received a gift from my nephew last night, my heart softened and I was blown a pillow wind all night, this gift was said to be given by my nephew by the way, and even had some meaning of charity.
The third uncle's family in the family had the worst fare.
If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful.
He has also changed, but he has become inferior, and he hates others to look at him with words such as sympathy and pity.
Therefore, no matter how the eldest brother and the second brother glared at him and hinted at him, the third uncle Quan didn't see it.
The fourth uncle and his wife have been working hard to distract everyone's attention by gags, so as not to really embarrass Bai Shaohua's family later.
It's a pity that all the efforts of the three brothers were ruined by their sister-in-law's statement.
Ms. Bai said that her son's actions really should not be, and that she respected all the decisions of the elders of the clan as a mother.
As soon as my mother expressed her position, the words of other elders were all null and void, including other elderly relatives.
As I said earlier, the tree has dead branches.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some young people of the same generation have long looked at Bai Shaohua unpleasantly, and learned from Tang Rui that he was more jealous of his big gesture last night, and they coaxed someone to realize their mistakes.
Bullying people has a special psychological pleasure, and bullying successful people in the same generation is even more so.
After all, making capable people succumb is a relieving thing after all.
For a time, the clansmen who held two opinions were arguing in the main hall.
Bai Shaohua and Su Xing appeared in this atmosphere with excited children, and then learned that their family not only wanted to kneel down to congratulate the birthday star, but also kowtow to all the elders present such as the father, the great-grandfather, and so on.
Bai Shaohua almost blurted out a FKU, but fortunately, reason overcame impulse and glanced at the people present.
If there was such courtesy, he would take his family away.
"It's a local custom. Seeing the reluctance on the couple's face, everyone cheered even harder.
Ms. Bai looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a gentle attitude, "Follow the local customs, since you insist on coming back to settle down, you should adapt to the local rules." ”
Bai Shaohua knew her intentions as soon as he heard it, his eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled gently: "Mother has always despised the traditional bad habits of her mother country, and it is really surprising that she speaks for the feudal bad habits today. ”
"I was dissatisfied with the traditional bad habits, so I went out. Ms. Bai reasoned with him calmly, "Since you have returned, of course you must follow tradition." Shaohua, follow the customs, didn't your grandparents teach you when you were a child?"
She remembered that when her son was a child, she was most disgusted with using her grandparents to scare him, and as soon as he threw out the second elder, he stopped talking, compromising and sulking at the same time.
Of course, there are occasional slams out of the door.
Whatever his reaction, she just wanted him to know that it was a bad decision to return to settle down.
If he doesn't correct it in time, there will be more troubles waiting for him in the future.
"There are some things that my mother had better think about clearly, and don't forget that when your parents changed their nationality, according to tradition, it was unfilial piety and disloyalty. Mother forced her step by step, and Bai Shaohua was not polite to her, "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, since my mother is disgusted with this, why should she use these to embarrass me today?"
Saying this already gives her a lot of face.
As the saying goes, where there is a mother, there must be a son.
According to her mother's will, she is a pioneer of disobedience, and as a son, she naturally learns from her, and if she is not right, how can she be qualified to ask others to obey the rules?
His homework before returning to China was not done in vain, and he couldn't compare with his wife by quoting scriptures, and it was more than enough to deal with his mother.
The dispute between the mother and son is not loud, but it is reasonable and imposing.
was robbed by her son, Ms. Bai stammered, and was about to scold him for not being big or small, and not knowing how to respect his elders.
Uncle Bai glanced at his sister-in-law, and spoke first: "Okay, those rules are all old yellow calendars, my brothers have only knelt down to their parents, how can they kneel to others......?"
"No!" the third aunt refused to let go, "What old Huang Li, my mother's new daughter-in-law came to the door one by one and kowtowed one by one." ”
can't punish his nephew, and punishing his nephew and daughter-in-law is equivalent to slapping him in the face.
Uncle Bai glanced at her, and his tone was low and majestic, "Then let your young sage go to other houses every year to knock enough! Today is my second brother's birthday, do you want to make a miasma of smoke and anger to kill him?"
As soon as the words fell, the second uncle immediately coughed in response, and the second aunt hurriedly gave him a smooth back.
Bai Shaoqing, Bai Shaolian and other young generations stared at those who were messing around, and the eldest aunt, eldest cousin and other female relatives asked Bai Shaohua's family to hurry up and bring their children forward to add some joy to the second uncle's birthday.
The master's family is angry, and the rest of the clan knows how to restrain themselves. The third aunt wanted to say something, but the third uncle touched her elbow before she shut up.
In this chaotic situation, Xiao Ling stared at the coughing old man, and suddenly smiled, and his petal-like mouth was slightly curved.
But she didn't say anything, she was obediently led by her mother to congratulate her elders on their birthdays, saying festive words about Shoubi Nanshan, and receiving a thick red envelope.
"What were you laughing at just now?" Ono asked her quietly while everyone was busy.
Xiaoling looked around, and whispered while no one was paying attention to his sister and brother: "The second uncle is not sick, he pretended." ”
Ono was slightly surprised, "You see that?"
"Hmm. The young lady nodded.
But my uncle said he was sick. ”
"That was before," the little girl with the two buds tilted her head and thought, "or I'll ask my aunt later." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Ono could see that the group of people were embarrassing their parents just now, since the second uncle pretended to be sick at that time, he must have helped his parents out of the siege, and he was a good person.
When a good person is sick, he must be cured, which is called a good person with a good reward.
Soon after the two children hid outside the crowd and plotted, the other cousins came to them, and a group of children left the living room to play with themselves.
The little brother clings to his mother and refuses to leave, but Xiao Neng still looks after the house.
In contrast, Ms. Bai watched her son, daughter-in-law and nephews and nieces talking and laughing, and was depressed.
The eldest son is not talented and disobedient, and he is still contradicting himself today, which gives her a headache, and at the same time, it can be seen that he cares about his family very much.
Seeing the shortcomings of the eldest son, she thought of the advantages of the younger son, and remembered that her ex-husband scolded her for only enjoying life and ignoring the education of the eldest son, and she was quite depressed.
The child is not her alone, every time the eldest son comes to Gran's house, does the ex-husband reason for him?
Who is there to blame her?
As for being surrounded by people watching her mother and son argue, she doesn't care about this, only Chinese people will pay attention to the face project.
She only seeks to achieve her goal, and everything else is false.
