In ancient times, the parents were not separated, and the Tao family lived together in three rooms, and the income was given to the parents, and the parents distributed, ate and lived together, and the three rooms took turns to cook, and one went back and forth for ten days.

Now in early September, it is the big house cooking, and Hu is busy in the kitchen with his eldest daughter-in-law Zhang, second daughter-in-law Liu, and youngest daughter Tao Guilan.

There are more than 20 people in the Tao family, and Grandma Bao brought more than a dozen, a few milk babies, a few half-grown children, a few in the prime of life, a few old people, a few women, don't look at cooking, the amount of food is different, do too much waste, do less is not enough.

Many people marry a new daughter-in-law, and they can see the level of the new daughter-in-law by watching the new daughter-in-law cook in the first few days. Experienced people know what to do, and there is not much difference, and those who are inexperienced will make mistakes.

On the first day of relatives, it was impossible to save these few days, Hu Shi was baking cakes, dead dough cakes, burning a big pot of soup, dead noodle cakes soaked in soup, eating a stomach, and he would not be hungry. Stewed vermicelli with Chinese cabbage, the vermicelli is also made at home, and then put some bacon.

There are two large cauldrons in the kitchen, one is a soup and one is a stew, and there is a small stove connected to the pot, and Hu is making cakes, afraid that his daughter-in-law will be embarrassed in front of her relatives.

Liu was peeling green onions, seeing that no one came to the kitchen, and whispered: "Mother, you can help me ask my cousin and sister, what do you usually eat?" If I give birth to three boys at once, I can give birth to one, and I am happier to give birth to two. ”

Hu knew that giving birth to a child was the knot in the heart of the second daughter-in-law, and she had not given birth for two years after getting married, she was a little unhappy, she was beaten by her mother-in-law, and every time she looked at her daughter-in-law's flattering smile, thinking that she also had a daughter, and she was soft-hearted.

"Okay, I'll tell your grandmother and ask your grandmother. You are also smart, walk around with the bean dregs daughter-in-law more, and it is easy to say what to say if you are familiar with it, the bean dregs daughter-in-law has no heart, and she will get angry if she is unhappy, otherwise she will not be able to cure her mother-in-law. ”

Hu has been to Shihe Town, and he has heard his mother-in-law say a lot about the Dou family, and he usually doesn't talk about it behind his back, this will be a person, give his daughter-in-law a bottom, so as not to cause trouble, and then her mother-in-law doesn't like to complain that she didn't teach her daughter-in-law well when she was a mother-in-law.

The daughter-in-law didn't dare to talk nonsense, the daughter-in-law dared, Tao Guilan said: "So powerful? I see that my cousin-in-law is very good, she is really good-looking, and there is a big iron brother, I have never been able to distinguish it. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, the youngest son was left by the mother-in-law to play with the triplets, she was not at ease, she kept stretching her neck to look at the main courtyard, she didn't have the heart to listen to them, if she heard the cry, she would go over and hug her son.

Hu's pancakes, one in a pot, Tao Guilan is washing the vegetables.

"I said you, in the future, the daughter-in-law of the bean dregs will cook with his mother-in-law, you should be diligent, not our big house will also come to help, especially Guilan, who will marry a daughter-in-law and not inquire? The female celebrity is a good cook, and the good people are rushing to hire it, I have eaten the food cooked by their mother and daughter, and your grandmother said that you have to swallow your tongue. I also went to a lot of banquets in Tao's shop, even if you went to the restaurant outside, compared with others, it was not good at all. It's a pity that there are no vegetables now, otherwise my mother will buy some and let my daughter-in-law teach you. ”

Tao Guilan said: "Mother, is it okay for me to learn dance sticks from my cousin-in-law?" Grandmother said that both men and girls learn. ”

"Why do you learn that? If you have the kung fu to learn embroidery with your sister-in-law, you can save your own private silver by embroidery in the future. ”

Tao Guilan said: "That's also a grandmother, don't accept the money that the daughter-in-law does her own work, and other people's daughters-in-law have to pay the money to the public middle school, the grandmother said, just order it, embroider that thing all day long to boil the eyes, and then who to find to accompany the eyes when the eyes are broken?" ”

Hu Shi glanced at Zhang, glared at his daughter and said, "Then will you order?" Running out all day long, I see that if you can't get married, you can cry. ”

Tao Guilan stuck out her tongue at her mother and tilted her head and snorted.

Zhang's Liu saw that the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law were different from the daughter-in-law, but they would not be like this with their mother-in-law if they were not married in their parents' family, the Tao family was good, and they did not say that it was not good for the daughter-in-law, as a daughter-in-law was more willing, they would also give birth to a daughter, and they were afraid that the mother-in-law would not be welcome.

Aunt Tao of the main house is also talking about Tao Guilan, the granddaughter of the big house.

"Guilan is so active and not quiet, her mother always wants to detain her embroidery, let me say that it is not the temperament that is detained, just follow the bean dregs daughter-in-law to learn to dance sticks, and then learn to cook. A woman can punch and kick better than weak, and she can't help but be strong. Which daughter-in-law I marry never looks at what is virtuous or not, that is useless, first of all, you must be in good health, you can't marry and go home, and then it depends on how the family style is, people have to be cool, and I can't look down on awkward people. We are ordinary people, we want to live, crying and crying grievances are waste. I never care about my daughter-in-law and son fighting, I fight well, fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, but if the son has nothing to do and beats the daughter-in-law, then I don't follow, marry a daughter-in-law and come back to work for the Tao family to have children and children for a lifetime, what kind of ability is it to beat a daughter-in-law? ”

Fu was naughty and asked, "Did your aunt and grandmother fight with your aunt and grandfather?" ”

Aunt Tao pouted and said, "He wanted to beat me once, but he was always beaten by me." ”

Fu used to stick out his tongue, he was really tough, and he deserved to be the same sister as Grandma Bao.

Grandma Bao said: "That's my brother-in-law who let you, otherwise men are scoundrels and women can't beat them." ”

Fu Xishi nodded, she knew this, there was a classmate like this before, her classmate said that it was her father who let her mother, otherwise her father would have no problem beating two men, how could he be beaten by the delicate mother and dare not fight back.

Unlike her scumbag father, she found a junior to divorce her mother, but her mother was unwilling to leave, and the two fought that it was a real fight, and her mother had a blue nose and swollen face, so angry that she used a kitchen knife to scare the scumbag father.

Think about it, it's quite similar to Grandma Bao, they are both people who work hard with kitchen knives.

"Guilan has not yet decided to marry, I am thinking about which one to set this year, now this situation is waiting for next year, next year is not too late for the fifteenth, the second room of the osmanthus and the third room of the osmanthus are as big, the osmanthus is a little silly, the osmanthus looks like my temperament, but the opposite, her mother hopes that she is the same as Guilan, the osmanthus and Xiaoyun are about the same size, let them live together in the future, I see Xiaoyun is stable, teach more osmanthus."

Fu Xiyun looked at the triplets on the kang, and when she heard about her, she raised her head and said: "My aunt and grandmother praise me, my mother says I'm stupid, I see that my cousin has a good temperament, and she just kept smiling at me, Cousin Osmanthus is the granddaughter of my aunt and grandmother, she is very good-looking, and when she stands there, she looks like everyone's girlfriends, and I have to learn more from my cousin and cousin in the future." ”

Aunt Tao pointed at her and smiled: "I still say stupid, look at what the little mouth will say, I am rare such a little girl, I am my own family, what should I say, don't hide it, treat me as my own grandmother." ”

Sun in the second room also told his daughter Tao Guiju in his room, nodded at her forehead and said, "You, you, why did you see your cousin-in-law dancing stick?" Didn't you hear your grandmother say she cooks well? Your embroidery is not as good as Guilan, and your temperament is not as good as osmanthus, so you have to steam the cooking cakes when you learn to cook, right? ”

Tao Guiju was poked back by her mother, and said unconvinced: "I can read and settle accounts." ”

Sun was afraid of her twice, and said angrily: "What's the use of you following Osmanthus to recognize those two words?" Can a woman settle accounts and be a bookkeeper? You just listen to your mother and learn to cook well. ”

Tao Guiju muttered: "Grandmother said that it is also a skill to be able to settle accounts, and the third uncle is able to settle accounts to make our family's business bigger, otherwise he will be fooled when he goes out, and he will have to lose money if he can't make money." ”

Sun reached out to hit her, and Tao Guiju ran away.

"Your third uncle is a man, if you are a boy, I wish you could follow your third uncle to learn skills, you can be angry with me, relying on your grandmother to protect you and kill your mother."

When the first two daughters-in-law of the Tao family married into the door, the Tao family was not rich now, as the old saying goes, the high door marries the daughter and the low door marries the daughter-in-law, although the person is neat, the knowledge is the knowledge of the women of the ordinary people's family, the woman has a craft at home, do not let the in-laws look down, give birth to a male baby to stand still, raise children and teach daughters, marry a good daughter-in-law and daughter marry a good family, wait to hold grandchildren, and be content for a lifetime.

Therefore, Hu's Sun's requirements for their daughters are considered according to their ideas.

Sanfang Tao Fuyun has been smart since he was a child, and his two brothers have not been sent to the school to study, he bought a few children's enlightenment books when he grew up, and begged an old boy to teach him to read and write, and went to help others work every day after his own work, not only learned to read and learn to settle accounts.

Fifteen or sixteen went to be a buddy for other people, did all the work, and when he married a wife, he persuaded his father and mother to open a shop, and he bought and sold goods, and ran around before thirty, and transported the clay pots out to find a shop to sell.

The Tao family is slowly getting bigger, but now the two brothers and nephews are following him, and the shop at home is guarded by Aunt Tao and his wife, and his daughter-in-law helps.

Tao Fuyun's daughter-in-law Lu is Aunt Tao went back to her parents' house to let her sister-in-law look for it, and she married the niece of the sister-in-law's mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law of the second room of the big house is strange, thinking that her mother-in-law is biased towards the little brother-in-law, and it is even more strange to know that Lu is almost twenty years old without her fiancé, and she didn't say that she was partial to her younger son to marry such a daughter-in-law.

But the mother-in-law said that the Lu family could read, and they didn't think much about it anymore, there were few women who could read, and the mother-in-law wanted to find the same daughter-in-law for the little brother-in-law.
