Chapter 021: Rivalry
Hong's division of dishes is quite fair, and there is basically no bias.
She really wanted to do something, but unfortunately the conditions didn't allow it.
Dafang has Song Hong, the "promising" eldest grandson, although the Hong family hates the eldest daughter-in-law in his heart, who is fast-mouthed, dry-natured, and often brainless, but after all, he gave birth to a good grandson.
Song Ercai is out to make money in the second room, and the Hong family no longer likes Chang's and her son, so she can only endure it.
Needless to say, in addition to Song Hong, this little son has a sweet mouth, and she also likes it.
It's the first time that Ah Xiu has met this kind of occasion of dividing the dishes and eating, but after staying here for a few days, she is no longer surprised by anything.
Chang Shi gave her the little egg in his bowl and said, "You can eat it." ”
Although the little girl is not bad, she is too thin, so she needs to make up for it, and she is good to grow up.
"Mother, I have it here."
Ah Xiu was very moved, and she was embarrassed to accept it, but when she saw the yellow and clear scrambled eggs, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
This instinctive body reflection makes Ah Xiu a little cramped, but this is also something that can't be helped, eating coarse grain cakes and fried white siad every day, even if she wants to stay reserved, her body doesn't listen to her.
"Call me mother, what's polite, eat quickly."
Chang turned around and directly bit the cake in his hand.
Ah Xiu silently took a bite of the egg.
It is so ordinary that it can no longer be eaten ordinarily, and when swallowed in your mouth today, it is even more delicious than those delicacies of the mountains and seas that you have eaten.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know, so many eggs, you can't eat you."
Song Qing looked at her, her small mouth squirming secretly, and she cursed in her heart.
But people have a mother's pain, and look at Zhou's bowl again, the two chopsticks and eggs have already entered the stomach.
At the end of dinner, each room got hot water and went back to the room early to wash and rest.
Chang brought hot water into the house, and when he saw that his husband was still reading an article under the lamp, he called him.
"Let's wash first."
Chang handed over the scarf, saw that he was reading Song Hong's eight-strand article, and sighed: "These people in the family, all of them are human spirits. But I'm not happy about Brother Hong'er going to town, either the two babies will be sent together, or let Brother Tian go first, and Brother Hong will wait for another year. ”
Song Ercai wiped his face carefully and said with a smile: "You should have thought of these when you plan to bring an adoptive daughter-in-law back, it only cost ten taels of silver here, and then send Brother Tian to the town, which is a little unreasonable." ”
Song Ercai spoke without hurry or impatience, giving people a feeling of warmth and jade.
Song Hong went to town a month ago, the old couple came to him and told him, if there was no arrival of Ah Xiu, Song Er would propose to send the two to the town together, but things have changed, the family has just come out with a lot of money, and it is no longer realistic to send two babies.
"What can't be said, it's not a matter of time before Tian'er marries a wife, and he will lead him in now, and it's not their sin."
Every time he talked about his son's injury, Chang couldn't hide his anger: "Besides, didn't you say that Brother Hong'er's understanding is not as good as Tian'er, and spending that money to go out is a bottomless pit that can't be plugged." ”
Song Er is a child, and he knows how the knowledge of several juniors is.
Song Hong's efforts are undeniable, but the comprehension is too poor.
Just like the article under the lamp, it is clear that the meaning of the original text has not been fully penetrated, but he wrote the eight-strand text.
Although he knew that his nephew lacked talent in this area, Song Ercai couldn't say these words, not wanting to ignite the internal strife.
The eldest brother and his father have great expectations for Brother Hong, even if he says something, no one believes it, and the matter of learning and examination is not overnight, and the congenital deficiencies can also be made up for through hard work, he doesn't want to deny what Brother Hong has done so quickly.
And Tian'er is a little younger, and it is not so urgent to go to the school in the town.
It's hard to do.
Song Ercai glanced at Chang's puffed face, and personally twisted the handkerchief and handed it to her.
"Madame is in a hurry, save yourself from ruining your mood with those things, you wash your face first."
Chang Shi was stunned for a moment, and saw that her husband's eyes had a meaning, and said shyly: "Don't just change the topic, plan for Brother Tian early, and have an early opportunity......"
"Got it, you've said it a hundred and eighty times......
The sound next door became quieter and quieter, and when the voices in the back were gone, there were some small and fragmented sounds.
Ah Xiu's hand twisted the handkerchief, and his face quietly turned red.
She saw that Song Tian was still eavesdropping with her ears up, and coughed a little embarrassedly: "Brother Tian, it's not too early, you should go to bed early." ”
It's still early!
Song Tian was a little inexplicable, but sat up straight.
"I'll read a book for a while, and you can go to sleep first."
Ah Xiu nodded, went out and poured water in, thought about it and asked, "Brother Tian, if the family finally decides to let Song Hong go to the town to study, what are you going to do?" ”
Ah Xiu has wanted to ask this question for a long time, she feels that Song Tian was very sure of studying in Shangzhen, but her arrival made the second room fall into passivity.
Just like the conversation between Song Ercai and Chang just now, it cost ten taels of silver to lead her into the door, how can you forcibly ask for the place in the school hall again.
Song Tian had an indifferent attitude: "I'm still young, it's okay to wait another year or two." ”
He said it easily, but Ah Xiu didn't think so, if it really didn't matter, he wouldn't have deliberately eavesdropped on his parents' conversation, and he had worked very hard these days, secretly competing with Song Hong.
"Brother Tian, I will find a way to send you to the town to study."
Ah Xiu said solemnly, and Song Tian looked at her unexpectedly: "What can you do?" ”
This person is a year younger than him, and saying such things will only make Song Tian feel inexplicably funny.
He had already seen this expression in Chang's place during the day, and he didn't explain anything, just said, "I'll find a way to make some money." ”
Song Tian smiled, didn't take this to heart, nodded and said, "I'll wait for your good news." Go to sleep. ”
The next day, Song Hong found Song Ercai early in the morning and asked about that article.
The people in the village got up early even if they didn't work in the field, and when the uncle and nephew sat down at the table in the hall, the old man Song and Song Dacai both got up, and even the Hong family put the wooden basin for washing their faces at the door of the house, and listened to the movement inside.
Song Tian washed up on the stove room and saw such a scene.
This is no longer an ordinary consultation, but it seems to be a means to force his father to recognize Song Hong.
Who came up with the idea? Definitely me.
In the past, Song Tian didn't pay too much attention to the matter of going to the town to study, and he didn't think much about it, but he could understand the things that fought with his son and the future of the house.
But when he really paid attention to things and thought about them slowly in his heart, he found that people's hearts are often not as simple as they seem on the surface.
Song Hong is the eldest brother, four years older than him, and it is not impossible to go to the town first, but he should not frequently slander and belittle himself in this matter, and he also involved Ah Xiu by the way.
Song Tian sneered, stepped forward and said to Song Ercai: "Dad, I suspended school today, and I also made an article not long ago, so I will show it to you." ”
