Early in the morning, Chen made breakfast, and hurriedly packed up and rushed to the old house.

Yesterday, the old man said that his mother-in-law would start teaching him how to make tofu today. Chen didn't dare to take it lightly! After all, it's a craft! In this era, learning a craft is directly taught one-on-one by master and apprentice, and having the opportunity to learn a craft well symbolizes that you are a skilled person in this life. It is very respected in the countryside!

Early in the morning, the Qin family specially made hand-rolled noodles with shredded meat that Old Man Cheng likes to eat. She still had a little luck in her heart, hoping that the old man was just impulsive yesterday!

Why did the ancestral craftsmanship he brought from his mother's family give his eldest daughter-in-law for nothing? If you want to say that it is the second daughter-in-law, for the sake of the eldest grandson's face, it is still a little possible, after all, the stick god has said that no one can rely on him in his old age, he can only rely on the eldest grandson. I thought that when the old man was happy, I would talk about it again, pass on the craft to the second daughter-in-law, and make money for the eldest grandson to save for his daughter-in-law. Thinking so in her heart, her hands were not idle, and she beat an egg into the shredded meat noodles.

It's a pity she was wrong! Old Man Cheng is not impulsive!

The children and grandchildren are all older, as the old saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is difficult to say whether their own body and bones will be able to enjoy the blessings of the eldest grandson in the future, so why offend other children?

Although the children of the old family did not go to the school to study, Cheng Hu was tiger-brained and inherited the cotton playing skills passed down from his family for several generations. Although Cheng Dong is a naïve person, he has a good temper, as long as he doesn't take the wrong path, he can't be wrong in the future. Chen Jia's daughter didn't look out when she was a child, but she was only six years old, and she was so smart, but she was a lovely person. Cheng Yanjin has had a strong temper since he was a child, but Old Man Cheng likes this temper, because among his grandchildren, his temper is like himself.

They are all their own heirs, and the palms and backs of their hands are all meat! If I get sick and leave one day, I don't want my old family to have a bad time. Instead of expecting to bless your children and grandchildren after death, it is better to get another meal ticket for the eldest son's family while you are alive. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are all filial children, and they suffer a big loss when they build a house, but they have never blushed with themselves, and they never forget to bring themselves a piece of delicious food. Brothers are always obligated to do something, and they are very responsible! Such filial children, I believe that even if they leave by themselves in the future, they will definitely take care of their old women.

As a result, during breakfast, it was not the Qin family who persuaded the old man, but the old man who preemptively talked about the Qin family.

"The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, do you remember those days? When our eldest was five years old, that natural disaster? ”

"What are you talking about these things about old sesame seeds and rotten grain?" Mrs. Cheng obviously didn't want to mention that stubble.

But the old man continued, "At that time, the family was in such a difficulty! The big guy can only drink porridge every day, in order to let your son eat enough, you will take out the big girl's bowl, and the big girl eats pickles and rice soup for half a year, and there is only a small handful of thin people left! Do you know that the eldest girl was four years old at that time, and she should hate you in her heart when you treat her like this, although you passed on your skills to her, but she has never been as intimate with you as the little girl. ”

The old man talked about the old past, and the Qin family also fell into memories for a while - yes, at that time, not only was his family in difficulty, natural disasters, but also the disaster relief food of the imperial court could not be brought down, that is, that year, the two daughters of his husband's second brother's family starved to death, so he saved a boy. Although the second concubine lived well later, she wanted to bring the two girls back, but she gave birth to four boys in a row, and finally gave birth to an old girl.

The old man continued: "You have lost the heart of a girl among the five children because of that incident, and now because of an eldest grandson, just because the match god said that you can only rely on the eldest grandson in the future, you don't care about other children, how many children's hearts do you want to lose?" The old man paused, looked at Qin's face with a hint of remorse, and said: "My body bones, I know myself, this disease is strange!" Look at how strong my body was in previous years! Now that I'm so thin, I have to drink Chinese medicine regularly, if I leave first, will you point to the teenage grandson alive? Can your eldest grandson feed you? Don't say that he will only take the Xiucai exam next year, even if he is admitted to Xiucai, it will take three years to take the exam, and when he can be filial to you, it is estimated that there will be no hope for ten or eight years. ”

Qin looked at Old Man Cheng in surprise, "Master, don't say that, you are only in your fifties, how can you live to be seventy years old, where can you go first, I will serve you every day, I will take good care of you!" ”

"Don't talk about those useless ones! Our sons and daughters-in-law are all good, although the second daughter is a little mixed and a little lazy, but the second daughter-in-law is a person who can live a life and knows how to be diligent and thrifty. The eldest and eldest daughter-in-law don't have to say that they have several children, and they have to send us half a chicken if they kill it! You have taught your eldest daughter-in-law the trade, will she not worry about you in the future? In the future, when I go, you have the eldest grandson to count on, and the sons here are vying to be filial to you, and you are better off! ”

"I see! Don't worry, I'll teach her well! Don't scare me by saying anything about leaving! "Don't look at Qin's family, but Old Man Cheng is his backbone, back then, Old Man Cheng persuaded her that even if she couldn't level a bowl of water, at least she would get some dry for her daughter, but she was a demon barrier at that time! I always think that my daughter is a family member anyway, and it doesn't matter if there is one or two less! The son is the one who supports himself! As a result, the eldest daughter has never been close to her since. Even if I come back for the New Year's holiday, I always prepare a thick festival ceremony, as if to announce to the world - I have come back to be filial to my father! In fact, not a word of intimacy! I even talked about it at the dinner table once, and I talked to other brothers and sisters about the past. It was very unpleasant.

Fortunately, the sad atmosphere did not last, and Chen came and brought Chen Jia. Chen knew that the old man had been rare with Chen Jia recently, and he also heard that the old man was teaching Chen Jia to settle accounts, and he also wanted Chen Jia to learn more. Although the eldest son is more sensible now, he has to learn the craft, and he has to help with the farm work and make the tofu himself, so don't you expect Chen Jia to help keep the stall for two hours!

Qin cleaned up his mood, took out everything from the guys, cleaned it well, stone grinding, pulping cloth, hanging sieve, and a few tofu boards, a few frames for pouring tofu and a round wooden pillow pressed on them.

Chen Jia looked at this situation and felt that it was quite like a real person, could it be that her grandmother finally figured it out and wanted to teach her mother?

Looking back at the old man with a smile on his face, he knew that it must have been the old man who persuaded the Qin family!

Because the beans have to be soaked for half a day, this is still summer, and winter has to be soaked for a day. So the Qin and Chen clans were preparing all day.

Chen Jia felt that she couldn't help much, so she pestered her grandfather to give herself a few more questions, just use her first-grade level of primary school. Let's ask for common sense, for example, if there are more than a hundred, you have to say a hundred and a hundred, and more than a hundred or more is one hundred and ten, and let Chen Jia go from one to one thousand before stopping. Seeing that Chen Jia is so smart, the old man also wants to teach more, after thinking about it, he took out his own bookkeeping book, and began to teach Chen Jia to read, made a sand table for Chen Jia to write, and taught Chen Jia to keep accounts or something, of course, the old man is targeted, people in the mountains sometimes have difficulties and can't get money, and it is still normal to take credit for a while, but most of them are honest, and they will pay back if they have money, but if they can't keep accounts, how to do business, so Mr. Cheng mainly taught Chen Jia how to write some surnames, and mainly the surnames of people who live nearby. Chen Jia doesn't refuse, anyway, someone will teach, and in the future, he will be famous for everything, not too demonic, and less eye-catching, isn't it! Thinking that from tomorrow onwards, there will be fresh and delicious tofu brains to eat every day, Chen Jia is still very willing to coax the old man to have fun!

The old man took Chen Jia to study in Cheng Zhen's study in the back, during which Chen Jia's eyes were sharp, and he saw that his little aunt Cheng Mi quietly went out of the door once, and came back again about half an hour, Chen Jia secretly thought in her heart, the second aunt didn't come to accompany the little aunt today, and the little aunt didn't seem to be looking for death, it seems that she really figured it out, but that's fine!

Thinking that the old man was not in good health, maybe he could take a walk more and breathe fresh air, Chen Jia took the old man to the bamboo forest for a walk, the old man heard that walking is good for his health, and thought that his granddaughter was also a filial piety, so he happily went.

In the morning, the bamboo forest is still very lively, most of them are the Cheng family, there are adults and children, there are women doing needlework, by the way, looking at their own children, there are also idle old people, all are acquaintances, they will say hello when they see it, Chen Jia's mouth is sweet, this may be a tutor or a relationship between sales in the previous life, everyone smiles and greets when they see it, whether it is an adult or a child. Everyone also greeted Chen Jia in a friendly manner, and also greeted Mr. Cheng by the way. Maybe Old Man Cheng has a stubborn temper all his life, and he really rarely greets people, and he is a little uncomfortable for a while. Thinking that his granddaughter is so popular, she should be proud, so she patiently greeted others!

Chen Jia saw that the old man was a little bored, so he pulled him to the side to teach him to stand on the pile, saying that it was good for his health, and the old man Cheng smiled and asked her who taught her, Chen Jia said that he met a master in the back mountain to teach, and said that he also compared a few sets of boxing techniques, of course, the swordsmanship practiced with a branch was not shown, and the old man Cheng heard that Chen Jia also met a master, so he asked a lot curiously, Chen Jia answered one by one, anyway, even his mother knew, and there was nothing to hide. The old man saw that Chen Jia was honest, and heard that Cheng Dong was also taught kung fu by Chen Jia, so he had a deeper understanding of Chen Jia's cleverness. There is no doubt that his granddaughter is a prodigy.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" It turned out to be two sisters, Cheng Ying and Cheng Mei, the two sisters were wearing the same small red flower gowns, which looked eye-catching!

"Grandpa and Chen Jia came out for a walk, who are you here with?" Old Man Cheng asked.

"We came on our own!" Cheng Ying replied, her voice sweet.

"Obviously my mother sent us!" Cheng Mei said.

Cheng Ying was a little embarrassed. Why is this sister so ignorant today?

"My mother said that I saw Chen Jia and her grandfather come to play in the bamboo forest, and asked us to come and take a look!" Cheng Mei doesn't care what her sister thinks.

Chen Jia knew it in his heart, and looked at Old Man Cheng, and sure enough, Old Man Cheng also squinted, thinking about something.

"Huh!" Chen Jia suddenly remembered something, "My mother said that grandma gave me this peach wood bracelet yesterday, saying that you may have it, why don't you wear it?" ”

"What, bracelets?" Cheng Mei looked at the bracelet in Chen Jia's hand, his face changed, Cheng Ying was okay, relieved, finally not so embarrassed. "Why don't we? Hmph, it must be grandma's eccentricity! Cheng Mei ran away as she spoke, saying as she ran: "I'm going to ask grandma, why is it only for Chen Jia and not for us!" ”

Cheng Ying hurriedly caught up, "Come back quickly!" "But Cheng Mei is angry, where can he come back? had to go with her, and she wondered very much, why did this little Chen Jia get so close to her grandparents recently?

"Chen Jia, show your bracelet to grandpa!" Old man Cheng said,

"Okay, grandpa, here you go!" The bracelet is quite large and easy to take off.

Old Man Cheng took the bracelet, and a wave of annoyance flashed in his eyes, "This stupid woman! It's the same old mistake again! ”

Chen Jia secretly wondered, what is the old problem with grandma, isn't it patriarchal?

is still a very patriarchal person, even the kind that can ignore the life of his granddaughter! Could it be that there is something wrong with this bracelet!?

Thinking of the words asked by his mother Chen yesterday, Chen Jia's eyes also narrowed, he had heard that peach wood ward off evil spirits, and he felt that this old lady wanted to use peach wood to get rid of her evil spirit!

Chen Jia couldn't sleep at night and wanted to practice, but his bedroom was in the suite of his parents' bedroom, so it was inconvenient to go out, so Chen Jia decided to go to bed early and get up early and go to practice in the morning. Although Jiang Youchun is not there, he can't lose his kung fu! In addition, the stone house is in the deep mountains like the old monk's bag, and if you can't run away with your own kung fu, you should go and make a snack for the wolf!
