Tang Qing'er scooped all the water in the wooden basin in the courtyard, and heard the shouts of the Li family outside, so she quickly stood up and went to open the door, and said to the people outside with a smile: "Mother, father, grandfather, grandma...... You have returned, and I have poured the water, so wash it quickly. ”

Li didn't rush to wash his hands with the group, but went to the kitchen to see what the girl had cooked, smelled the aroma, turned around and asked the girl, "What meal did you cook today?" So fragrant. ”

Tang Qing'er's face was slightly shy, and she stumbled and said, "I thought that you must be hungry when you come back, and you have eaten all the cakes you stalled last time, so I ...... Spread the sorghum rice crackers for ...... You eat, I'm afraid that the first stall will not be delicious, so I deliberately ...... Specially...... I chose sorghum noodles, because there are a lot of sorghum noodles, and they are not too valuable, mother," she actually told her grandmother, afraid that she would say that she was a loser, so the noodles she chose were worthless.

Li was stunned for a moment, no wonder she was surprised, Tang Qing'er was only eight years old, and she was the only eldest girl in the family, and she was a nerd before the age of three.

Li lowered his head and touched his daughter's head, glanced at his mother-in-law from the corner of his eye, and saw that his mother-in-law had no annoyance on her face, so she said with relief: "Well, my daughter can do it, it's really a mother's intimate little padded jacket,"

"Mother, why do you exaggerate the eldest sister, I also helped the eldest sister to light the fire, I don't believe you asked the eldest sister if I and the wood helped burn it." Wood and stone then followed the kitchen, seeing the mother knew that the exaggerated sister, the stone was not happy, retorted, Li swallowed the sourness in his heart slightly after hearing it, and praised his two sons for their ability with a smile.

After everyone washed their hands, they entered the living room of the main house, the third aunt directly lifted the linen, and smelled the aroma of the cakes of sorghum rice noodles stacked on the bamboo curtain, which aroused the roundworms in everyone's stomach and called out angrily, and then turned over the other cakes in the bamboo curtain, except for the first few slightly blackened, the others, it was really good, I tore off a small piece and tasted it, and it was all cooked! The taste was not bad, so I took the cake in my hand, ate it directly, and muttered in my mouth: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I didn't feel that the sorghum rice noodles were delicious before, and I always felt pricked in my throat when I ate them, but now I eat it like this, and I feel better than the cakes of bud rice noodles,"

Tang Qing'er despised in her heart: It is not easy to say words of praise from your mouth, I think so, Tang Qing'er picked up the bowl and put a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in everyone's bowl, and everyone sat down and began to eat, her father Tang Tiezhu glanced at his daughter, and the smile in his eyes spread on his face, and he couldn't help but have a few more cakes.

After the meal, the second aunt began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Li entered the kitchen to help, Tang Qinger also came in to help, taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders, she directly hugged Tang Qinger and kissed her, Tang Qinger was embarrassed, and buried a red face in Li's chest, Li boasted: "Good girl, you know that you are considerate of your father and mother, but you are really a filial baby, today's cakes are really delicious, better than those in the mother's stall." ”

"It's very hard for my father and mother to work in the field, I can't go down to the field to help, so I can only cook food for my father and grandparents at home." Tang Qing'er pinched the corner of her clothes and said very shyly, at this time, her father Tang Tiezhu also entered the kitchen, picked up Tang Qing'er and kissed him again, the embarrassed Tang Qing'er pushed his face, but he was going to laugh at the lively Sun family on the side.

Ma Shi in the courtyard heard the laughter of Tang Tiezhu's family in the kitchen, and said to the man on the side with a taste: "What's the matter, when I have children, I can only be more obedient and sensible than your children, in charge, do you say yes" Tang Tiefeng didn't pay attention to Ma Shi at all, and continued to sharpen the sickle in his hand.

Old Tang Tou was already surprised by Ma's words, Zhang wanted to choke Ma's, looked at his son in front of him, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

And Huang took advantage of the lunch break to return to her room, picked up the handkerchief embroidered a little yesterday and continued to show off, as if the quarrel outside had nothing to do with her.

"Daughter-in-law, the cakes made by Qing'er are quite delicious, very soft, not sweet or salty." Tang Tiezhu also praised Tang Qing'er a lot, praising Tang Qing'er as if there was nothing in heaven and on earth, and this girl was born to him Tang Tiezhu.

Tang Qing'er really didn't know what expression should be on her face, she really couldn't get close to her father, she always felt that she was in her twenties, and it was really uncomfortable to be kissed on the face by his father, there was no way, in order to prevent her father from kissing her, he could only bury his face on her father's shoulder, but he didn't know that this made Tang Tiezhu feel that his daughter was more intimate than before.

Looking at the smile on her father's face in the kitchen, and the way her younger brothers grabbed credit from her father, Tang Qing'er was once again glad that she lived in this family, and she didn't know how much happier she was than the same poor family.

"Big brother, if you keep talking, you won't be able to finish today's bowl." Sun really couldn't listen to it anymore, he laughed and forked, Tang Tiezhu was not embarrassed, kissed his daughter again, turned around and left the kitchen, Sun watched his eldest brother walk out, turned his head and sighed to Li who was helping on the side: "Sister-in-law, Qing'er is really sensible and filial, she will spread cakes when she is so old, and I know that I feel sorry for you, help cook, wash clothes, and take care of my younger brothers and sisters, I really envy you." ”

Li said this in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of his younger siblings, so he could only respond lightly: "Don't envy me, in a few years, your daughter will know that she loves you, help you cook, wash clothes, and take care of children, and then you won't envy me."

"Who's to say it isn't? What else can we hope for, that is, we hope that the babies will grow up quickly, have a little craft, and live by handicraft in the future, unlike us digging in the soil every day. Sun looked at the crazy babies playing outside and sighed.

"Yes, I'm not afraid to tell you what my brother and sister say, I really want to split up, your tiger head is still young, you can wait for two years to go to school, and my wood and stone are five years old, I want them to go to the school to learn something to know Braille, not to take the top prize or anything, just to let them know Braille, it's easy to find a job in the town, don't be like us who don't know a big word, you can only face the loess with your back to the sky." Li whispered bitterness to Sun with a sad face.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is in my heart, if we mention splitting the family, then the people in the village must not say that we are not filial, and we will only be poked in the backbone by others at that time," Li thought about it, but no, if the elders mentioned the separation, everyone would not say anything, if we were the children of the family, then we must not be drowned by the spitting stars in the village.

Tang Qing'er listened to what her mother and second aunt said, and also thought about her mother's words, what her mother said was reasonable, if she didn't split up, her grandmother would definitely not agree to send the two male babies to the school, even if the grandfather spoke, at most he agreed to let one of the wood and stone go to study, it was impossible for both of them to go, how much would it cost, and then her mother would feel sorry for one of them who didn't go, and she would pay for the one who didn't go to study, if her grandmother knew that her mother had hidden money, then she had to make trouble, and said that her mother was not filial, but she had to split up, It's not easy to talk about, I just hope that what the third aunt said to grandma last night will be useful.

Tang Qing'er thought blindly while brushing the bowl, Zhang sat in his room, thinking about the words of the third daughter-in-law yesterday, although the third daughter-in-law was a bad person, but what she said yesterday was not unreasonable, now the two sons she gave birth to are married, but they are not pregnant with children, there are five chickens in the family, and they can lay three or four eggs every day, the eldest and second children in the family are still young, and the eggs laid every day have to be eaten by several children. In the town, an egg costs a penny, and you have to have more than 100 yuan a month, thinking that all this money has been eaten by those babies, and her face can't help but darken.

If they don't separate the family, her two sons don't have children yet, they have to suffer all the time, the same family out of two people to work, but the eldest and the second family have several mouths, if they are separated, they can only live in adobe houses, and the main house is for their two sons, the more I think about it, it is appropriate to divide the family.
