Zhang Guangming's younger brother Zhang Guanghua is a university graduate in Beijing, he works in Beijing, and when he heard his brother say that his father was injured in a fall, he immediately asked for leave from their respective units with his wife Jia Junye.

I specially took a pair of twin daughters, bought gifts, and took the train to visit my seriously injured father.

When Zhang Guanghua's family returned to their parents' house, they saw that the people in the family were all smiling and waiting for their family to arrive.

The couple first distributed the gifts they bought for each of them to their families.

Then Zhang Guanghua began to ask about his father's recovery, and then asked his mother how his body was......

When the couple saw their sister-in-law holding a little doll in her arms, they knew that her sister-in-law had given birth to a beautiful girl again.

Li Yue'e had a willow stick beside her.

Zhang Guanghua saw his sister-in-law walking with a long stick and limping, "Sister-in-law, are you also lame?" ”

The couple asked in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, are you also injured? My brother told me that my dad broke his leg while repairing the roof of my uncle's house.

But he didn't tell me, sister-in-law, you gave birth to a daughter again, and he didn't tell me, sister-in-law, you also had an accident.

Why did my sister-in-law's legs end up like this? Zhang Guanghua asked anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, why are you hurt?" The younger sibling also asked anxiously.

Li Yue'e briefly told her brothers about her injury.

"Tut-tut, what's going on in our family? Why did we let our good family have so many unlucky things? "My younger sister Jia Junye is a fast-talking woman.

Jia Junye gave birth to twin daughters, who are more than three years old, and the two children follow their mother's yellow curls, like two foreign children.

Zhang Guangyan and her three nieces are in charge of picking leeks.

The nieces asked their aunt to tell her fairy tales.

Zhang Guangyan began to tell her nieces the story of the Monkey King vs. the Red Child in Journey to the West.

When she spoke of the red child, who had gotten carried away, was going to sit on the lotus throne with teeth, she frightened the children and exclaimed:

"Red boy doesn't dare to sit!"

"There's a thorn in it!" The adults giggled.

Zhang Guangyan giggled twice and said, "That's Guanyin Bodhisattva, I want to frustrate the domineering spirit of the red boy." ”

Li Yue'e pinched the wild vegetables with her left hand and cut them with a kitchen knife with her right hand.

Jia Junye tied a black coarse cloth apron made by her mother-in-law around her waist, and pulled the wild vegetables cut by her sister-in-law into a vegetable pot.

She said: I'm in charge of stir-frying.

Li Yue'e leaned close to the ears of her younger siblings and said: "Our mother-in-law is afraid of consuming oil when stir-frying, so she usually eats raw and drowned vegetables, and if you want to eat cooked vegetables, blanch them with water, and then use salt and vinegar and add some minced garlic to adjust and eat."

I asked Wenya to bring rice, noodles and oil to our mother-in-law. But our mother-in-law was reluctant to eat it, saying that she would eat it during the New Year. ”

"Really? Wouldn't it be bad if it was put in the New Year? That's not going to work! Sister-in-law, she grabbed her younger sibling's arm and said, "You ......."

My brother and sister's mouth was fast, and before I heard my sister-in-law finish speaking, she said: Mom, it's not easy for the family to reunite today, I'll fry a few dishes, so that everyone can taste my skills, okay?

I'll roll out some more noodles for everyone to eat, okay?

Zhao Tonghua said with an embarrassed face: "These rice and flour oil were originally planned to wait until the New Year to eat them, so ...... Well, do as you say.

Li Yue'e and Jia Junye looked at each other with their mouths tight, but the two of them didn't hold back, and laughed "poof".

Li Yue'e said: "Leave the cooking work to me, Junye, you can do it." ”

Mother-in-law Zhao Tonghua said, I am in charge of rolling noodles.

Li Yue'e said, "Mom, you always rest, just leave everything to me and Junye." ”

Jia Junye began to light the fire and burn the pot, and Li Yue'e began to fry wild vegetables.

Zhao Tonghua's face was happy, and she remembered the old saying: "A daughter-in-law of more than 40 years has become a mother-in-law." ”

She said to mix the white noodles with the noodles for a while, and the noodles that are rolled out like that are smooth and tough, and the taste will be strong and delicious.

Jia Junye went to the chopstick cage and brought a handful of chopsticks and put them on the table, she said, "How about I taste the wild vegetables fried by my sister-in-law?" ”

Zhang Guanghua didn't wait for his wife to eat, so he pulled her clothes and whispered: "Don't eat yet, wait a minute, brother, have a reunion dinner." ”

Jia Junye saw his father's majestic look, so he shrunk his neck and hurriedly put the chopsticks on the table.

Zhang Guanghua asked everyone to sit at the table.

He held one of his father's arms, and with the other he was on a crutch, and walked to the table and sat down.

Li Yue'e also walked over with a stick, and her younger siblings jokingly asked her two children: "Our family used to be a lame, and now we have added two lame, how many lame people do you two count?" ”

The two children crossed their fingers and counted, "One plus two, Mom, I calculated it, it's three lame." ”

Zhang Guangyan, who was originally smiling, heard what her second sister-in-law said, and she thought that the word lame said by her second sister-in-law was simply gnawing at her heart, and her face became gloomy.

Zhang Guanghua saw that his sister's face changed greatly.

He dragged his wife aside unhappily and whispered criticism of her for being open-mouthed and talking nonsense.

His daughter-in-law asked aloud, "Am I wrong?" ”

Li Yue'e laughed a few times and said to her sister first: "Guangyan, don't blame your second sister-in-law, she doesn't have any bad intentions, but she speaks a little too straight." ”

My sister lowered her head and the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Li Yue'e said to Zhang Guanghua's younger brother again, "Guanghua, Junye, she has the same personality as her sister-in-law, she speaks straightforwardly and never detours. ”

The sister-in-law looked at her younger siblings and criticized her and said, "Junye, it's not wrong to speak straight, but sometimes you can't speak too straight, and if you're too straight, it will hurt people."

You'll have to pay attention to that in the future. ”

Jia Junye listened to his sister-in-law's words, and couldn't help but glance at his sister.

When she saw her sister's unhappy face, she quickly apologized to her.

The children sat down next to their parents.

Zhao Tonghua walked out with a smile on his face with the gift his eldest son bought from the back room.

The aroma of roast chicken, the aroma of chestnut pastry, and the fragrance of fruit make people feel good?

Everyone stared at the paper bag in Zhao Tonghua's rough hand.

She put the paper bags on the table and said, "This is the roast chicken that the boss bought, and the golden chestnut crisp with the word "Fu", look at how much this wine candy looks like a wine glass." ”

Mom pointed to the new clothes on her body and the new shoes on her feet, and said with a smile, "This is the second child who bought me this dress and shoes."

and my grass bead bracelet and necklace, all of which were carved and processed by my daughter herself.

My children are more filial than the other! ”

Adults and children are sniffing all kinds of objects, emitting different aromas and swallowing saliva, and the children show impatience.

Zhao Tonghua opened a large yellow paper bag and asked, "Children, guess what is in here?" ”

The children stared at the yellow paper bag, not knowing what it contained.

Grandma said, "Bah! See what it is? Zhao Tonghua uncovered the yellow paper, and everyone saw that it was chestnut cake from Shandong.

Adults and children are all staring at each other.

Zhang Guangming's eldest daughter, Zhang Wenya, saw that her younger siblings were about to reach out to pick them up, she shouted, don't eat it yet!

The younger siblings were stunned when they looked at the eldest sister.

Zhang Wenya, she told her younger brothers and sisters a story about Kong Rong Rang Pear.

The younger siblings understood what the eldest sister meant, so they let the adults eat first.

Zhang Maoyuan smiled and said, "Then just wait for the light to come back, let's eat together as a family." ”

He saw that on each paper package, there were four words printed with thank you for tasting and said, "If you look at the words on this package, you can see that Shandong is the hometown of etiquette, and it is quite influenced by the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius!" The adults present nodded in agreement.

Zhang Maoyuan understands that it is not possible to have a good family style.

So his deep voice said unhurriedly: These are all Chinese medicinal materials that Guangguang used his spare time to buy for us! It's really hard for him......

When he said this, Zhang Guangming walked into the door with a smile.

The children were very hungry, and when they saw Zhang Guangming coming, they were all very happy, and they clapped their hands and whispered excitedly: "You can eat!" You can eat! ”

"Eat, eat, what's the point at home?" The straightforward Jia Junye said immediately.

Zhang Guanghua immediately pulled his wife's clothes, meaning to tell her to shut up.

As soon as Zhang Guangming entered the door, he said: "The old branch secretary and the commune cadres have respectively explained some work matters to me, and I have just sent the two commune cadres away. ”

As soon as he sat down, his father hurriedly said, "I see everyone has been waiting for a while, are you hungry?"

My eldest son is here, and the second son is working in Beijing, so our Zhang family will be here, and our family will have a rare reunion!"

The younger siblings all looked at the eldest sister Zhang Wenya's face, and she waved her hand to mean that it was not time to eat.

The adults toasted the two old men one by one, but the hearts of the two old men who were smiling happily blossomed.

Zhang Guangming poured a cup of sorghum aged wine brewed by his mother into the cup of each adult.

He said, "Raise your glass and celebrate your mother's birthday!"

Everyone drank it all.

The children playfully toasted with candy that looked like a wine glass, instead of wine, and toasted as a sign of celebration.

Jia Junye asked the children to eat the vegetables first, and all the children shook their heads.

Zhang Maoyuan said with a smile, "That's right, children, our family is a family that values morality, courtesy, and goodness."

This is also the old tradition of our Chinese nation!

Is there something delicious? You have to let the elders eat first, this is gratitude, but also respect for the elders, this is virtue, but also etiquette. ”

When Jia Junye heard her father-in-law say this, her face turned red.

Zhang Maoyuan continued, "What about children? Do more good deeds! The grandchildren and granddaughters nodded solemnly.

Both parents picked up chopsticks and said, "Let's start eating." ”

As soon as they moved their chopsticks to eat, the children picked up the chopsticks, but the children did not take the chopsticks, but looked at the chestnut cake on the table with greed.

The adults hurriedly brought it to the children.
