On this day, when I opened the door of Zhang's yard, I heard that it was extremely lively inside, about five or six people were standing in the courtyard and chatting, and there were a few women busy in the kitchen.

The grandmother of the Zhang family sat on the top of the hall, and the people who had worked all her life were a little more respectful at this time, and several children were gathered around her.

But when Shen Qingqing led Xiao Douding to stand at the door, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, and the noise instantly turned into calm, and everyone's eyes were unclear, and they couldn't tell what kind of emotions they were.

Shen Qingqing didn't bother to bother with them so much, just smiled on his face: "Everyone is chatting?" ”

Although those people didn't like it, they couldn't help but go on their faces, but a few women agreed: "Qingqing is here, hurry up and sit." ”

Everyone else ignored her.

Grandma Zhang's grandmother saw Xiaodouding coming, and hurriedly came out of the house on crutches: "Haohao is here." ”

As he spoke, he touched Haohao's head, and a pair of eyes like elm looked a little energetic because of this old age: "Haohao has grown a lot taller, not bad." ”

Xiao Douding is also very sensible, and hugged Grandma Zhang tightly: "Grandma, you don't know that Haohao misses you so much." ”

"Grandma misses you too." Grandma Zhang's hand kept rubbing Xiaodouding's head, this kind of flesh and blood affection is the most impossible to ignore.

And the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law Zhang who were busy in the kitchen just glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths moved: "Why did this plague god come over?" ”

"You whisper." Zhang's daughter-in-law patted her younger sibling's arm. "What if she hears it?"

Zhang's second daughter-in-law was very short, standing with Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law as if she was a fat and thin protector: "If you hear it, you hear it, this widow, am I still afraid that she won't make it?" ”

The original owner and the two daughters-in-law were a little difficult to deal with before, and this time, the two daughters-in-law were even more reluctant to deal with her.

Shen Qingqing thought left and right that it was just a matter of eating a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and the patience passed.

In less than half an hour, the meal was ready.

A dozen members of a family gather around a long wooden table, and the men rarely drink leisurely, while the women sit together.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Douding picked a corner place, and the dishes came in one by one, and after all the dishes were served, Shen Qingqing sighed in his heart.

This eldest daughter-in-law is quite smart, and she put all the worthless things such as fried vegetables and cucumbers in front of her, and the big fish and meat are all in front of herself and Zhang's second daughter-in-law.

Shen Qingqing looked at the food in front of him with chopsticks, and didn't know how to pick up the food for a while.

"Qingqing, I heard that you sent Haohao to the academy to go to school?" It was an uncle from the family who opened the question, although he was not very kind, but he did not feel sorry for Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing put the chopsticks down and said, "Yes, I saw that Haohao was also a talented person, so I sent him to the school." ”

"That's a good idea." The uncle had a wine glass in his hand, and it was obvious that some of them had drunk too much. "This kid still has to be sent to the school, and if he doesn't know a single word, he won't be rummaging in the crops for the rest of his life."

"That's just as well."

The conversation between the two of them was overheard by Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law Huan and Zhang's second daughter-in-law, and the two daughters-in-law originally had the intention of looking for Shen Qingqing, so they said angrily: "That...... It should cost a lot of money to send your children to school, right? ”

"Qingqing, where did you get so much money from a widow?"

This is a straightforward question, Shen Qingqing can't say that he is hardworking and capable, so he has made a lot of money, you are so lazy and poor at home, right?

Shen Qingqing was able to put her hand on her hair to hide her embarrassment: "It's okay, I naturally have a way to raise this money, as long as it can make the child ......"

"I think this money is being asked for by someone else."

Who knew that before he finished his sentence, Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law threw the chopsticks directly on the table, and her shrewd reaction was faster than Zhang's second daughter-in-law: "I heard that the old lady has a lot of private money in her hands, and no one will give it. ”

It seems that this eldest daughter-in-law thought that Xiaodouding's school money was given by Grandma Zhang.

Shen Qingqing hurriedly shook her head: "Sister-in-law, you don't dare to say this." The old lady didn't pay a penny for this school. ”

The second daughter-in-law reacted slowly, and she was even more unhappy when she heard Zhang's daughter-in-law say this, so she snorted coldly, and her voice was louder than the sound of firecrackers outside: "Qingqing, you said you didn't give it if you didn't give it?" I think this old lady still gives Hao Hao less money? This large number of children and old ladies are partial to Haohao alone. ”

The sound was getting louder and louder, and the men who were drinking next to him stopped and looked this way.

And next to the two daughters-in-law sat a daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is not as spicy as the two daughters-in-law, but it doesn't seem to be a master to mess with.

"Okay, you two don't have a good meal for this Chinese New Year's Eve." The old lady said.

With this sentence, although the two daughters-in-law were dissatisfied in their hearts, they finally closed their mouths.

Shen Qingqing could only shake his head to see if this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not good.

She ate some vegetarian dishes, but Xiao Dou Ding has a long body, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but put a piece of lean meat in Xiao Dou Ding's bowl: "You eat meat." ”

But who knew that this action had stabbed the hornet's nest again, and the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang watched Shen Qingqing eat meat, and her eyes were so wide that she wanted to rip off a piece of meat from her body.

Shen Qingqing didn't see it.

"Mother, I want to eat this chicken leg." Zhang's daughter-in-law's youngest daughter, Xiaohua, had already jumped up and down, and she was very hungry when she saw the chicken legs on the table.

"If you want to eat something, you stretch out your arms to clamp it, do you want me to feed it to your mouth one bite at a time?" Zhang's daughter-in-law spoke.

That Xiaohua is also a capable girl, and when she heard her mother say this, she sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in her bowl.

But when the chicken leg was not yet hot, the third daughter-in-law sneered: "Sister-in-law, I didn't know that you educated children like this, this chicken leg was placed on the table, the old lady didn't eat it, a group of adults didn't eat it, and the little flower ate something, isn't there no rules?" ”

If this chicken leg was eaten by the son of the third daughter-in-law, she would not say that there were no rules, but she just felt that the meat was uncomfortable in someone else's mouth.

Zhang's daughter-in-law was already angry in her heart, so she directly stuffed the chicken leg into Xiaohua's mouth: "Third brother and sister, what do you mean by this?" Isn't this chicken leg on the table just for people to eat? I see, you just don't like me. ”

"I didn't look at you unpleasantly, I just thought that this little flower didn't have a tutor. It's okay at home, if you take it out, how will you meet people, and when you grow up, I'm afraid there will be no one to marry. ”

Sure enough, when this sentence came out, it exploded again.

Shen Qingqing looked left and right with her eyes, if she could, she wanted to hold Xiao Douding and leave immediately, but now she could only sit here.

I saw Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law stand up directly, pointing at the third daughter-in-law's nose and scolding: "Third daughter-in-law, what do you mean by this?" What little flower no one will marry? ”

The third daughter-in-law looked at her and her voice slowed down: "I just said casually, don't mind, this little flower has no tutor or no tutor, you can bring it over and raise it well, it will be like no father and no mother." ”

This village woman's mouth is really poisonous.

When Zhang's daughter-in-law just wanted to slap the table. But I don't know what kind of tone I thought of: "Don't say that to the third daughter-in-law, this little flower has nothing to do with you whether she marries or not, if she doesn't get married, I will raise her as a son." This great treasure can be regarded as a companion. It's not as good as your family. ”

Zhang's daughter-in-law's eldest son, Dabao, is the eldest grandson of the family and is very popular with the old lady.

But this third daughter-in-law of Zhang is different, she has been married into the Zhang family for a long time, but she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and she is often said by others to be a hen that does not lay eggs.

"You shrew, what do you mean by that? I respect you for being a few years older than me, and you don't want to make an inch. ”

This sentence can be regarded as annoying the anger of Zhang's daughter-in-law, she stood up directly and wanted to flip the table.

When Zhang's daughter-in-law just wanted to scold, the old lady directly stood up and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, don't you want to eat a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" You have to quarrel and go home and quarrel with each other, I said how did you educate Xiaohua, Xiaohua doesn't have a rule at the dinner table, don't you allow others to say it? ”

"Mother......

After the old lady finished speaking, she glanced at the third daughter-in-law again, and her eyes were hateful: "How long have you been married, and you haven't laid eggs, is it better to let others say it?" ”

The old lady is very prestigious in the Zhang family, and the two daughters-in-law didn't dare to speak for a while.

Shen Qingqing saw this farce in his eyes, as the saying goes, everything is prosperous at home, and the hearts of the people in this family are not in harmony, so it would be strange if the time was good.

But after all, they have already split up, and this mess of the Zhang family has nothing to do with her, it's just that Xiao Douding and the two of them listened to some bad words, and they didn't eat a few bites of this meal.

Fortunately, with the old lady's words, several daughters-in-law did not dare to make trouble, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was considered to have stopped.
