As a rule, this day was of course lunch at the eldest Zhou Guofu's house, and that night, the third uncle's family stayed at the uncle's house. On the fourth day of junior high school, a large number of people arrived at Zhou Xiaoyun's house, and Zhao Yuzhen started to get busy early in the morning.

Father Zhou borrowed a large round table from his uncle's house, which was enough to sit for more than a dozen people, and even adults and children could barely squeeze to sit down.

Zhao Yuzhen's chicken, duck and fish meat that she had prepared years ago were all burned into a big bowl and served on the table.

During the Chinese New Year, relatives come to the house for dinner, which is the highest level of hospitality in the family. If everyone is not full and has not eaten well, there is no place to put the face of the master. Therefore, Zhao Yuzhen, who is usually reluctant to put oil in cooking, has enough energy to scoop lard and cook vegetables.

Although the brothers of the Zhou family and Zhou Fang, who went out, are the poorest in their own family, Zhao Yuzhen has always been a strong personality, and she has to cook some decent dishes for the Chinese New Year. Don't let people underestimate it, Zhao Yuzhen thought so, and put the fried meatballs at home into the pot.

Zhou Xiaoyun doesn't like to sit in the corner of the table, so many people and small people are gathered around a table, and the child has to stand up and stretch out his hand to reach it if he wants to pick up a dish. She went to the kitchen to help hide under the pretext of helping, and Zhou's father was too busy to take care of her and go with her.

The bottom of the pot was burning with branches, Zhao Yuzhen was busy cooking, and Zhou Xiaoyun ran to help serve the dishes.

The hot bowl was so hot that even adults couldn't stand it, and Zhao Yuzhen was afraid that Zhou Xiaoyun would be so hot that she wouldn't let her get started. Zhou Xiaoyun picked up the rag at home and surrounded the bowl, the temperature was just right and he didn't worry about slippery, Zhao Yuzhen praised Zhou Xiaoyun for being smart.

Zhou Xiaoyun saw that there were dishes he liked to eat, so he asked Zhao Yuzhen to put some in a small bowl, and it was much more comfortable to eat without fighting or grabbing than eating on a big table!

After a lunch, it was almost half past two in the afternoon. Zhao Yuzhen cleaned up the leftovers, and the aunt Shen Huafeng and the third aunt Song Mingli also came over to help. The children all ran out to play, only Zhou Xiaoyun stayed aside to help sweep the floor and clean up the stools.

Shen Huafeng praised Zhou Xiaoyun: "His second aunt, your eldest girl is really a sensible and good child." At this young age, he knows everything like a little adult. A few days ago, I and Dabao carried the cage over, and when I saw that there were smaller buns inside, I asked more, and then I knew that it was the buns of the big girl's buns. You say, how can her children at this age be so skillful, and they can make chicken feather shuttlecocks, my Xiaoxia kicks that shuttlecock every day at home, and I heard that it was made by the eldest girl. ”

Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said a few words modestly, but in fact, she couldn't be happier in her heart, who doesn't like to hear their children be praised like this?

Song Mingli hadn't been back to the countryside for more than half a year, and it was the first time she heard about it, so she couldn't help but look at Zhou Xiaoyun.

I saw that Zhou Xiaoyun didn't show a smug look after listening to the praise, smiled politely at Shen Huafeng, and lined up the benches on the table one by one.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyun was not arrogant or impatient, Song Mingli smiled approvingly and nodded: "I haven't been back for a long time, and the children have changed." The eldest girl has grown up a lot more than the last time I saw her, and she can go to school and study. ”

"His third aunt, our eldest girl went to the first grade last year." Zhao Yuzhen was honored to say that Song Mingli was a literate person who graduated from a serious school and a teacher, and she praised her daughter for weighing much more than her sister-in-law.

Song Mingli was surprised: "Oh? I remember that the eldest girl was only seven years old during the New Year, and she went to school when she was six years old last year? This is early enough to study, big girl, can you follow the class at school? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't like to show off, nodded and replied briefly: "I understand." ”

"This kid is too modest. The final exam is two hundred points, and I heard Haizi say that he was the first in the whole grade. Shen Huafeng had already heard his son Zhou Zhihai say that Zhou Xiaoyun was the first in the grade, and he sighed at home for a long time, why is there such a big difference between children and children?

In Song Mingli's surprised and surprised eyes, Zhao Yuzhen's vanity was greatly satisfied. Being able to show her face in front of this concubine who is stronger than herself in everything is a thing that can go down in history: "The eldest girl asked to go to school herself, and your second brother and I didn't agree at first." I felt that the child was still too early to go to school, but the child insisted that we couldn't do anything, so I agreed. I didn't expect the results to be so good. ”

Song Mingli immediately looked at Zhou Xiaoyun with admiration, as a teacher, she always has a good impression of children with good grades and love to learn. Next, Zhao Yuzhen talked about Zhou Xiaoyun's various advantages, although she did not exaggerate the facts, it was enough for Song Mingli to listen.

Zhou Xiaoyun was very happy that the third aunt admired and loved her, but when she heard her mother praising herself, she couldn't stay anymore no matter how thick-skinned she was, so she simply ran away.

The next day, a large number of people went to my aunt's house again.

This day is the fifth day of the first lunar month, also known as the small year. The place of Zhou Fang's house is very spacious, and the child can make a noise about the roof after running. The girls were led by Zhou Xiaoxia, plus Zhou Xiaoyun and Wu Mei, and then brought the youngest two girls but four people, and it was okay to jump rope and kick shuttlecock together

Elegant. Among the boys, Dabao is the largest, followed by Zhou Zhihai and Wu Lei, and then Zhou Zhiyuan and Xiaobao, and the five boys have turned the sky upside down under the leadership of Dabao.

The happiest in the past two days is Zhou Zhiyuan of the third uncle's family, he is an only child at home and rarely has partners to play. This time, there are a lot of brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters, but he is very happy. In the evening, he refused to go back no matter what he said.

Zhou Zhimin persuaded him to defeat for a long time, Song Mingli turned his face flat, and before he could say a few words, Zhou Zhiyuan obediently left, and the onlookers were amused.

Grandma couldn't bear to see her most beloved grandson hanging her head, and whispered in his ear: "Far away, don't be unhappy, tomorrow the uncle's family, the second uncle, and the aunt's family will all go to our house for dinner, and tomorrow you will play with Brother Dabao and them, okay?" ”

When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately smiled.
