Chapter 27: Eccentricity
Zhang Minzhen knew when she was a child that there could be no such perfect thing in this world.
She has a father who prefers his daughter, but she also has a grandmother who is very dissatisfied with this.
In the eyes of grandma, girls are money-losers, and they are people from other people's families. So when grandma was alive, she always looked down on herself and was favored, they couldn't do anything about her father, but they didn't "click" themselves behind her face, and the words were that girls should take the initiative to work more and sacrifice for their mother's brother. Seeing the sky, whose girls are only seven or eight years old, they can pick up dung and walk out of ten miles of land, and half of the labor force in the field; No boy in any family has to go down to the ground, but there are sisters in the family to serve him...... Take it as a topic and take the trouble to say it in front of her.
The consequences of this are obvious, and the second and third brothers, who are not much different in age from her, are becoming more and more excluded from her. Anyway, when I was a child, the relationship between brother and sister was average, and when I grew up, my brothers married my sister-in-law, let alone them.
The sister-in-law is pressed by the eldest brother, so she is usually polite to her, but it is absolutely not good to say how good the sister-in-law's feelings are.
But the second and third sisters-in-law are not so restrained, usually because her money is firmly controlled by Gu Lihui, she is strapped for money, and every time she goes back to her parents' house to buy things and snacks for a few nephews and nieces, they are very limited. The eldest sister-in-law never said anything, but the sour words of the second and third sisters-in-law never stopped.
But what else could she do but pretend she didn't hear? Can she really make a fuss about her sister-in-law's sour words and embarrass her parents and make the people in the village see jokes?
So although she didn't say anything, she knew it.
"Let's not talk about that. The emperor is big at dinner, and if you have anything to do, you will talk about it when you finish eating. You go and put your things in the cupboard in my room with your dad, and then come out to eat. Wen Xiu wiped her hand on her apron, took two large bowls, each with three poached eggs and put them on the wooden tray, and took two spoons, "Let's go to the yard to eat, it's cool." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Minzhen went as she was told.
"Nuan Nuan, come on, see what grandma has done?"
In the yard, Gu Nuannuan was concentrating on watching her grandfather weave a fan with cattail, and when she heard her grandmother shouting, she hurriedly ran over, and saw a bowl of pimple soup red, green, and white, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye and had an appetite, she swallowed her saliva, when she was a child, her favorite was the poached egg gnocchi soup made by her grandmother, and even using celery instead of green onions was her favorite.
In fact, when she was a child, she was mainly hungry for eggs, and every time her grandmother would get her at least three eggs in the soup. Seeing this, she immediately smiled: "It's poached egg gnocchi soup, thank you grandma." ”
Gu Nuannuan said and picked up a spoon and scooped a poached egg, put it to her mouth and blew it carefully, Wen Xiu looked at it with a smile, she didn't expect Gu Nuannuan to send the cold poached egg directly to her mouth: "Grandma eats." ”
"Grandma doesn't eat it, Nuan Nuan eats it herself." Wen Xiu's eyes turned red all of a sudden. She knew how much her granddaughter liked to eat poached eggs, but today she was able to think about scooping the delicious food to her first, and it really didn't hurt her in vain.
"Grandma eats." The expression on Gu Nuannuan's little face was extremely insistent. Wen Xiu had no choice but to take a small bite, "Grandma has eaten it, and the rest of the Nuan Nuan will be eaten by herself." ”
"No, this whole one belongs to my grandmother." Gu Nuannuan shook her head, she didn't have the opportunity to repay her grandparents in her previous life, and in this life, she didn't know if she could change the fate of their early death, so she decided that "filial piety" should start from the current bit by bit.
In fact, she believes that her grandparents are good to her, and she may not be thinking about how she will repay them in the future. Maybe for them, looking at their children and grandchildren is the greatest blessing and happiness in this life.
"But grandma can't eat it, Nuan Nuan is obedient, can you eat it yourself?" Wen Xiu was moved and helpless.
"Nope." Gu Nuannuan shook her head resolutely, holding the spoon in her hand but refused to move away, and finally Wen Xiu compromised. Then Gu Nuannuan did the same, carefully scooped a poached egg with a spoon, and carefully scooped it over with the other hand to coax his grandfather to eat, and then came back satisfied, ready to eat, but saw that there was another egg in his bowl, and there was no accident on his mother's side that there was one less. She looked up at her grandmother.
Wen Xiu winked at her and urged lovingly: "Grandpa and grandmother have already eaten, now it's time to eat it yourself." Gu Nuannuan smiled sweetly, sat at the stone table under the tree and ate, patting her ass while eating, and the smile that made Wen Xiu never disappear.
Zhang Dazhuang looked over from a distance, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
"What are you saying so happy?" Gu Nuannuan ate several bites before Zhang Minzhen came out, she saw that there was a poached egg missing in her bowl, and she was slightly puzzled, but she didn't say anything.
"Nuan Nuan is getting older and sensible, oh, just now you forced me to eat a poached egg with your father. Seeing that she had only one egg left of herself, I moved one out of your bowl. Wen Xiu explained with a smile.
"That's good. Then mom will reward you with one more. Zhang Minzhen was overjoyed, leaned over to kiss her little face, and scooped another egg to put into Gu Nuannuan's bowl.
"No, I'm enough, my stomach won't hold up." Gu Nuannuan stretched out her hand to hug the top of the bowl, stubbornly protecting her bowl, shaking her head vigorously, and finally Zhang Minzhen had to give up.
There was Nuan Nuan, and no one in the courtyard mentioned the Gu family's bad things anymore, and the atmosphere finally warmed up.
"Here we go."
Before he had eaten a few bites of a bowl of pimple soup, Zhang Weimin came out of the room and was about to go to the toilet, when he looked up and saw Zhang Minzhen and Gu Nuannuan's mother and daughter appearing at their house eating, and they vaguely glanced at the two of them There were eggs in the bowl. He pouted quietly, his married daughter and went back to his parents' house to fight the autumn breeze with a money-losing goods all day long, why didn't he dislike being embarrassed?
I didn't like it anymore, but because his parents were there, he couldn't ignore it, so he said hello lazily.
"Third brother." Zhang Minzhen responded, and her expression was also indifferent.
"Third uncle."
Gu Nuannuan looked up and remembered that she was very afraid of her second and third uncles when she was a child, so when she called someone, her voice was much quieter so as not to show her stuffing, and she shrank her head in response to the situation.
"Hmm." Zhang Weimin glanced at her with disgust, answered randomly, and went straight to the toilet without even superfluous perfunctory.
Wen Xiu looked at Gu Nuannuan's obviously timid appearance and sighed, touched her little head and didn't say anything after all.
The relationship between the second and third children and the youngest daughter has been very average since childhood, and it has not improved much when they are older, so when the two brothers saw Nuan Nuan's niece, they never looked lukewarm. Children are very good at looking at people's eyes, anyone can feel good to themselves, like their eldest son, even if there are not many opportunities to meet, Nuan Nuan is still very close to him, and he has never been afraid.
