A few concubines chatted while working, and Zhang's was naturally not in the kitchen, but after they talked for a while, Zhang's came in to see what they had gotten, and the four concubines tightened their smiles and sped up the work in their hands.

Zhang handed the half-catty pork in his hand to Li and said, "Cut this into slices and cook it with radish at noon." Zhang's was very painful, originally she planned to let her sons bring some things over for lunch, but the old man was not happy, saying that each family would send things for the New Year's money, and then he would have a reunion dinner in the main house, and let his sons come to the door for a meal and bring something, he couldn't afford to lose this face.

Okay, he can't afford to lose this face, so he has to hurt himself, this food is all things she bought out of her pocket, and she is going to keep the second year of junior high school, and her sons-in-law come to entertain her.

The corner of Ma's mouth smiled sarcastically, and then said: "Mother, make a few meat dishes at noon, and there is a big New Year, if there is no fish, it will not be possible, it is a good sign that there is more than every year." ”

Zhang said: "Of course there is fish, it's not that you haven't taken it out yet, you stew this meat first, and I'll bring the fish over in a while." After the Zhang family left, the Huang family and the Li family both laughed at the Ma family, this Ma family is really, and the mother-in-law must be distressed again.

Sun also smiled, thinking that they are all separated now, and they still want them to eat badly and not be full, in the past, the money and money in the family were held in her hands, they didn't dare to say anything, now they are all separated, and those who should be honored are filial to her, why do you want to celebrate the New Year, and you can't even give up a fish? What's more, the fish was still sent by the owner.

When a few daughters-in-law have finished the meal and can start the meal, the old Tang Tou asked the Tang Tiezhu brothers to go to the courtyard gate to set off firecrackers, the stones and wood are waiting next to them, after the firecrackers, there are always a few that are not lit, they will pick them up secretly, praise them together and then put them together with the children in the village.

Old Tang Tou looked very happy, picked up the wine glass with a red face, and said to his sons: "Although our family is separated, don't forget that we are all a family, everyone helps together when there is a difficulty, and don't forget to pull other brothers when there is a rush, so that the old Tang family can live and flourish for a long time!" Today is the last day of the year, this year, the big guys have any bumps and bumps to put down, next year everyone must work hard to strive for a better life. The brothers drank the wine, and the atmosphere became lively.

In the second year of junior high school, several sons and daughters-in-law of the old Tang family went to the Yue family to pay New Year's greetings, and the old Tang and Zhang were left in the family.

At noon, Tang Mei drove the ox cart back with her two sons, and put a lot of things on the car, Zhang saw a smile on his face, but he didn't see his son-in-law coming over, his face was not very good, and he turned his head to Tang Mei and said: "Last year, Tang Jing got married, and Fugui didn't come, this time on the second day of the Lunar New Year, why didn't he come, let your father know, and don't be anxious with you, if this thing is known to the people with long tongues in the village, it doesn't have to be nonsense." Zhang is actually afraid that this matter will be known by the villagers, and she will be laughed at, but she doesn't dare to be angry with the eldest girl, so she can only talk about others.

Tang Mei said nonchalantly: "I don't know where he is going to fool around, no matter what he does so much, I don't lack anything for you to honor you," knowing who her mother was, so Tang Mei brought back a lot of things to block her mouth.

Old Tang heard the movement outside, and saw Tang Mei coming back alone with her two grandsons, her face was slightly sad, she didn't say a word to Tang Mei, and only beckoned the two Qian Peng brothers into the house.

Zhang was worried that his daughter would feel uncomfortable, so he diverted the topic slightly and said: "I used to hope that you could have a good home, but this time you are all married, and I don't even have a confidant at home,"

Tang Mei has always been a little afraid of her father, and followed her mother's words: "Little sister hasn't come over yet, what time is it?"

As soon as Tang Mei said this, Zhang's mind turned to Tang Jingna, looked at the weather outside and said: "She is far away, unlike you in the town, you can get here in an hour by driving an ox cart, she is driving an ox cart, and it takes two hours to get there if she comes out early,"

"You, the so-called married daughter spilled out of the water, you are a baby at home, married to someone's family, you have to listen to others, I didn't come here like this, my mother-in-law didn't also point fingers at me back then, looked down on me everywhere, and when I gave birth to Qian Peng Qian Bo in a row, Qian Fugui was a person who couldn't support the façade, so I didn't dare to scold me loudly," Thinking of the anger that just married into the Qian family and was regarded as a thorn in the eye by her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but pour cold water on her mother.

Sure enough, Tang Jing's time in Zhang's estimate was up, the son-in-law drove the ox cart, and there was a quilt on the ox cart, Tang Jing sat on the ox cart, and saw her mother's expectant eyes at the door, where could she still sit on the ox cart, quickly got off the ox cart, ran to her mother, hugged her mother and cried: "Mother, I miss you,"

Zhang's couldn't bear it, patted Tang Jing on the back and said, "My mother misses you too, since I was a child, the first time you left me for so long was to get married." ”

When Tang Jing heard this, she hugged her mother and began to cry: "Mother...... Mother....... ”

Tang Mei laughed beside her: "Look at what the two of you are crying at the door during the Chinese New Year, what do you say about you when others see it?" ”

Zhang came to his senses, pulled Tang Jing into the house, and said to the old Tang in the house: "Old man, you go out quickly, your son-in-law's house is here, you hurry out to greet him,"

Old Tang was busy putting on some clothes to welcome him out, and the two Qian Peng brothers also followed behind their grandfather, they wanted to see what their little brother-in-law brought over and whether there was anything they liked to eat.

It has only been more than a month since they got married, and Zhang felt that he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, so he took her hand and put his son-in-law behind his back and said, "Is Song Hong good to you?" How is my mother-in-law a person? Is it good for you? ”

Tang Jing's eyes were red and said: "Xianggong is good to me, my mother-in-law is very gentle to me in front of Xianggong, and I don't have a good face for Xianggong behind my back, and I said this to Xianggong for the first few times, Xianggong didn't believe it, we were still angry about it, and I was soft before talking to me after a few days, and since then, I don't dare to say bad things about my mother-in-law to Xianggong,"

When Zhang heard this, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This old demon woman, I guessed that she is not easy to get along with, and she dares to embarrass my daughter, sooner or later my mother will take this breath for you,"

Finally someone complained about her grievances, Tang Jing's mood improved a lot, and she said to her mother: "Mother, do you think your daughter is such a good person to deal with, she treats me in front of my father-in-law and behind my back, and I will too, in front of my father-in-law, I also make my mother-in-law suffer a lot of losses, hum, I think I am a soft persimmon and easy to bully,"

Tang Mei shook her head and said: "Everyone is from a girl to a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law is to become a mother-in-law, you have to think twice about everything you do, don't let people catch the handle,"

Zhang was not happy, and said to Tang Mei in a fierce tone: "Your sister has been angry for how long she has been married, look at the thin her in this month, she is going to become a pipa bone, you don't want to help her get angry, at least comfort her,"

Tang Mei snorted coldly unhappily: "I'm not here like this, when I got married, my mother wasn't so anxious, it won't be because I'm not in my mother-in-law's house now, so you can change people." ”

Tang Jing whispered: "By the way, eldest sister, why didn't I see my brother-in-law, did he go out to find another woman, I don't want to be like you, there is a husband and no,"

"What do you say?" Tang Mei stood up suddenly, pointed at Tang Jing's face with anger on her face and said.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang was full of joy looking forward to the two daughters' house, and finally the two daughters came back, and they were about to fight when they met, so they hurriedly pushed the two away with their hands and said: "Don't make any noise, let your father hear, and don't scold you, Jing'er, your father-in-law is still outside, but I can't let him see you like this." ”

Tang Jing pursed her lips and said, "It's not that the eldest sister wants to quarrel with me, she can't control her husband, and she still comes to worry about other people's affairs, and she is not afraid that she will be crushed to death by too many things,"

Tang Mei saw that Tang Jing still had an expression of wanting to fight, and her mouth was about to fight back, but she was glared at by her mother and sat next to her silently.

Zhang's bitter mouth said: "I gave birth to your two daughters, you two sisters are about to fight when they meet, how can you let me worry, hurry up and go out with me, my son-in-law is still talking to your father outside, and it is not good for our mother to talk to him behind his back in the house." ”

The two glanced at each other, and walked out with Zhang's unhappily, Song Hong was talking to his father-in-law outside, and when he saw his mother-in-law coming out, he was busy kowtowing to her to say goodbye.

Zhang saw that the corners of his son-in-law's mouth were about to smile, and he hurriedly said, "My family doesn't need to make such a big ceremony," and desperately gave Old Man Tang a look.

Old man Tang pretended not to see it, and continued to talk to his son-in-law, Zhang couldn't help but want to ask his son-in-law what to bring her, but was stopped by the old man's eyes, Tang Mei saw this situation, quietly pursed her lips and snickered, but she didn't feel relieved, and whispered to Tang Jing: "Sister, this is the first time you have returned to your parents' house for the New Year after you got married, and your brother-in-law has brought something good,"

This can poke Tang Jing's death hole, originally the first time to go back to her parents' house for the New Year, Tang Jing wanted to behave well in front of her family, originally loaded a lot of things on the ox cart, but when she went out, her mother-in-law came out to let off steam, and she was dissatisfied when she saw the car full of things, so she asked her husband to move half of the things down, she didn't dare to have a hard time with her mother-in-law, so she could only pull the rest of the things back to her parents' house aggrievedly.

Tang Jing's face turned red, and she retorted in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about it, you just take the things you respect, and don't care about other things," Tang Mei could guess Tang Jing's careful thoughts at a glance.

Zhang saw that everyone had been talking for a long time, and said: "It's not early, I'm afraid that you will go back late, Mei'er Jing'er and I will go to the kitchen to cook,"

Seeing that the kitchen was piled up with things pulled by Tang Jing, and they were all wrapped in cloth, looking like they were all the same, Zhang's eyes were almost unable to open when he opened them, and when he opened them, his face was difficult to look at, the cloth was wrapped in a large cabbage radish, and only a small piece of meat was wrapped in a dark brown cloth.

Tang Jing saw that her mother's face became ugly, and she stumbled to tell her mother what happened before she left, and after hearing this, Zhang's eyes widened, and she cursed Tang Jing's mother-in-law fiercely, wishing that she would die immediately.

Tang Mei sneered beside her: "Thinking about the old girl, who wants to go back for the New Year, the things you take can't catch up with half of the eldest girl who has been married for many years, mother, this is the price of your partiality,"

Zhang's endured it and didn't speak, the things Tang Mei brought were indeed better than Tang Jing's, it seems that he still has to count on his eldest daughter, so don't mess with her, Tunnel: "Okay, hurry up and cook,"

Zhang's originally prepared eight dishes to entertain his uncle, but looking at the things that his aunt brought, it changed from eight dishes to four dishes, and when everyone did it at the dinner table, Song Hong didn't say anything when he saw the dishes on the table, picked up the chopsticks and ate them with a smile, Tang Jing's face was stunned, and his mother was embarrassed by his father-in-law.

Tang Jing said angrily: "Mother, I saw that there are two chicken legs in the kitchen, why didn't you do it,"

Zhang glanced at Song Hong, and said as if unintentionally: "Those two chicken legs are prepared for your third sister-in-law, your third sister-in-law is now a double body, you have to make up for it, there are no good things at home, this is your eldest sister who took it to honor me and your father, we are so old, what else to make up, so leave it to your third sister-in-law to make up for the body,"

When Song Hong heard this, he didn't understand anything, and said with a red face: "Daughter-in-law, my mother is right, let's eat quickly, it's dark early, we have to rush back in a while, and the road will be difficult to walk when it's dark," Saying that he didn't eat in a big gulp, how to pick up vegetables, Tang Jing saw that Xianggong was aggrieved, his eyes faintly fell, and he looked at her mother angrily, and ate with anger.

Old man Tang slammed down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "When your daughter-in-law comes back, you can't stop and stop, and you have nothing to do for the New Year,"

Zhang didn't know himself: "I didn't say anything." ”

After the meal, Song Hong didn't stay long, and hurriedly drove away with Tang Jing in an ox cart.
