Chapter 819: Stay for Dinner
om Jiang agreed, turned around and went out. This cabbage, she cleaned it up and showed it to Zhou. But Zhou's temper is this, in order to show her dominance, she must tear off two more cabbage gangs.
Jiang has always known that it is not easy to make a living under the Zhou family. In the past, the family had a large population, and there were Gu and Zhang and several other aunts above her, but the Zhou family was embarrassed by her. But now the situation is different, in the old mansion, there is only a daughter-in-law who can be called by the Zhou family. One is Ho, and the other is her.
Of course, the He family was scolded the most and was the least welcomed. But He's xìng grid can't be her shield. Most of the housework still falls on her head, even if she is smart and clever, she will still be embarrassed by Zhou from time to time.
Fortunately, Zhou was quite polite to her, and did not shout or scold her like she did to several daughters-in-law. On the one hand, because she is a granddaughter-in-law, and on the other hand, of course, because she is smarter than the other daughters-in-law in the family.
But what's the use of being smart, this kind of sourness and grievance from time to time, rì again and again, will continue year after year in the future. Everyone else may have a head, but she has no end in sight. Sometimes when I think about it, Jiang feels hopeless.
The only consolation is the girl's big girl, and the children she may have in the future. For the sake of the children, she has to continue this life, carefully begging for a living under Zhou's hands every day.
Zhou is strong, and he must appear stronger than others everywhere, especially among the women in the family. Therefore, the daughters-in-law can't do it, and they will be looked down upon and scolded by the Zhou family. However, if the daughter-in-law is capable and steals the limelight from the Zhou family, then she will be deliberately embarrassed and scolded.
If you can't do it, you can't do it, but you can't do it too much, you have to find a suitable degree between them. It's a real problem. Even Jiang is so ingenious and cautious, and he is often stepped on by Zhou.
For example, in the case of preparing cabbage stuffed with dumplings, Zhou had instructed in advance that two fillings should be prepared at that time. The same is hospitality, and there is more pork in it. On the other hand, if they keep it for themselves, they should put more cabbage and less pork.
In fact. The current standard of living in the old mansion, and it is still in the New Year, there is no need to do this at all. But Zhou has been used to saving money over the years, so he still decided to do it.
Zhou eats dumplings. I love to eat a lot of stuffing. And Zhou also likes to eat dumplings, put more cabbage and less pork, so that you can wrap more dumplings and eat more meals in a row.
However, Jiang believes that there is another reason for Zhou's actions. That is, Zhou doesn't think that the whole family is qualified to eat meaty dumpling filling, and some people can follow and eat a dumpling. If they eat more meat, the Zhou family will die of distress.
To put it bluntly, the Zhou family still has the same approach, and it is necessary to divide the people in the family into well-defined levels in terms of food.
For Zhou, this is the rule, so as to show her status and authority in the house.
Comprehended Zhou's mind. Jiang deliberately only picked two cabbages to show Zhou, and cleaned up the cabbage. After all, in front of visitors, she didn't want to act like a sloppy daughter-in-law who couldn't do anything. And she also left room for Zhou to show authority.
For the dumplings for the guests, two cabbages are enough, but for the dumplings that need more packs, you need more cabbage. When the time comes, Zhou's command can show Zhou's authority and ability. It won't make her too embarrassed in front of the guests.
However, even if he was so thoughtful and meticulous, he was still picked by Zhou's eggs and lost face in front of others.
It seems that in front of Xiao Zhou, Zhou especially wants to show her authority.
Jiang Shi held his breath in his heart, and in the end, he could only slowly spit it out by himself.
Wait for Jiang to go out. The big girl staggered in, holding a sweeping broom that was taller than her, and swept out the cabbage gang that Zhou had torn off and thrown on the ground.
Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile when she saw that Da Niuniu was able to work now, and because she was young and behaved quite cutely.
To say, the great-granddaughter is such a small person who takes the initiative to sweep the floor, and the Zhou family, who is too nǎi, should be happy to close her mouth. But Zhou just looked at the big girl coldly and didn't say a word.
Xiao Zhou just glanced at the big girl, then turned his head again and talked to Zhou.
Lian Man'er noticed that Xiao Zhou's eyes were also quite sharp when he was looking at the big girl.
"Fourth, make dumplings in a while, your third aunt and third aunt are all eating here. Don't leave with the children, stay and eat together. The old man Lian kept his faith to Lian, "Your mother can adjust the dumpling filling, I still remember that when you were a child, you rarely ate your mother's cabbage-stuffed dumplings." ”
"Let your mother stir-fry a few more dishes, it just so happens that your third aunt is here, let's drink a few cups." Even the old man laughed again.
Even when the old man spoke like this, Zhou and Xiao Zhou both looked at Lian Shouxin.
Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi also glanced at Lian Shouxin at the same time, when they came out of the house, Zhang said that they should go back to eat early. Regardless of whether Lian Shouxin eats here or not, their sister and brother will not stay to eat. Because if you stay, you will definitely have to share a table with the Zhou family. It's still a trivial thing to not be full, who wants to eat a stomach.
"Dad, this is unfortunate, I still have something to do at night." Lian Shouxin seemed to think for a while before saying, "I brought the two children over today, in addition to sending the Lantern Festival, I just want to tell the second elder." Tomorrow, we plan to go to Fucheng. There are a lot of things over there, and they have to be done in the first month. ”
Hearing Lian Shouxin say this, Zhou immediately turned his face away, and a trace of disappointment that could not be concealed appeared on Old Man Lian's face.
However, the disappointed god was fleeting, and even the old man immediately put on a smiling face.
"I know, you have a lot to do, and I can't help it." Even the old man said very reasonably, "Fortunately, your third aunt and husband will move to the village in the future, and there are many opportunities for everyone to get together, but not this time." ”
"Yes, it's still business. We are not outsiders, so we don't need to pay so much attention. Shang Huaide also said with a smile.
"Let's have dinner with my third aunt and third aunt in the future." Even Shou Xin also said a word.
After speaking, Lian Shouxin was about to get up and say goodbye, but even the old man saw it, and his face was very reluctant, as if he had something to say, but he didn't want to say it.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, we plan to go to the eldest sister's house again. I'm going to talk about the house again. As Shang Huaide spoke, he beckoned to Xiao Zhou, and the family of four was going to put on shoes and go down to the kang.
"Wait until you call them to dinner in the evening, and then you will speak." What are you doing walking around now? Zhou stopped.
"It's okay, we'll be back in a while." Xiao Zhou glanced at Shang Huaide, and said to Zhou, "I'll go to the eldest sister's house, let the eldest sister come over early, and let's talk again." ”
The merchant went out after a few mouthfuls, and even the old man naturally went to the ground to send it off, and the Zhou family also wore shoes to send it out, as for Lian Shouxin, he also took Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi to send off the guests.
"No send, no send, we'll be back in a moment." Shang Huaide said vigorously.
However, the Lian family still sent people to the gate, after all, they were distant guests and rare guests. If you live in the same village in the future, you don't need to do this anymore.
A few members of the merchant didn't set a donkey cart, so they walked to Wu Yugui's house so close.
Lian Shouxin stood at the gate and was about to say goodbye to Old Man Lian.
"Fourth, how early and late do you plan to come back when you go to Fucheng this time?" Even the old man asked Lian Shouxin.
"I won't be back until the end of the month." Lian Shouxin replied.
"It's such an old man this time." Even the old man showed some reluctance on his face, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, just stay for a while and talk to your father." ”
Lian Shouxin didn't want to agree, but when he looked at Old Man Lian again, he changed his mind.
The three of them followed the old man to the house again.
"Where is the second family dead, knowing that his third aunt is coming, why don't you come back, just wait for dinner to come back for dinner? The black-hearted king eight calves! Zhou scolded as he walked into the house, "I'll make dumplings later, which of you will look for it again, and tell those people that if you don't come back, don't come back in the future, you will die if you deserve it!" ”
Even a few members of Shouyi's family are not there, and now the people in the old mansion can't even find people who go out to find people to run errands.
"Then, I'll go find out." In the end, it is still the ancestor of Lian.
Da Niu Niu can't do this kind of work yet, and Lian Duo'er, naturally, no one asked her to do this. The Jiang family also has to help the Zhou family cook, and the people who can go are Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.
Lian Shouren doesn't go out much now, only Lian Jizu goes.
Let Lian Jizu run such legs, which was unimaginable in the past, Lian Man'er said secretly.
Seeing that Lian Jizu was gone, Zhou's mouth kept scolding. Old man Lian saw that Lian Shouxin's face was a little uncertain, so he coughed twice and drank Zhou's.
"Don't scold, his third aunt hasn't gone far yet. Hurry up, wrap the dumplings with your step-grandfather and daughter-in-law, and people will be back in a while. Even the old man said to Zhou.
"You can call me, too!" The Zhou family was not angry with the old man, "I am from heaven to earth, and I have to serve you all day long." ”
Although he said this, the Zhou family really did not scold anymore, but stayed in the outhouse and prepared dumplings with the Jiang family.
Lian Shouxin followed Mr. Lian back to the house, and everyone sat down one after another. Even the old man really chatted with Lian Shouxin, and he was quite concerned.
“…… In my heart, I don't miss you less. …… When I'm old, I can't help you, so I'll cause you trouble. You are all good children, and now you have a great family, and you are no more than before, so you must be careful in everything. I'm here with your mother, I'm still laying out. You have certain rules, don't let us ...... anything in trouble."
…
Send the second watch, in the middle of the month, save the children's shoes with pink tickets, ask for support.
