Chapter 31: Eating and Drinking

"Who are you scolding a dog?" Qingbao grabbed her and stopped her at the door.

Xia Min saw that Qingbao always stopped her, and became more and more convinced that Wuzhu was eating good things, and was anxious to go into the house to have a look, so she pushed Qingbao more and more: "Whoever stands in my way is a dog." ”

What's the matter, come to her house to eat and drink and scold her?

Qing Baozheng had nowhere to spread an evil fire, and when he pushed hard, he pushed Xia Min to a big heel.

"Damn, you dare to hit me?" Xia Min scolded as she pounced on Lin Qi.

Not to be outdone, Qingbao pounced, and the two scuffled together.

Xia Shouping hurriedly came over and separated the two girls, he couldn't talk about his niece, so he had to train his daughter: "Liuya, have fun with your sister, don't fight." ”

Seeing that Qingbao was reprimanded, Xia Min raised his head proudly and ran away from the house.

Looking at Xia Shouping, who was as soft as noodles, Qingbao stomped his feet hatefully and hurriedly ran to the house.

In the house, Wuzhu was gnawing on chicken legs, and Huang Liuniang was also eating.

Xia Minpi said with a smile: "Third aunt, you have eaten everything, and you won't wait for us." ”

Huang Liuniang ignored her, she was not annoyed, and reached out and took the largest piece of chicken from the bowl: "I will eat a piece too." ”

Qingbao walked over and brought the bowl to the other side of Huang Liuniang, and said to her coldly: "My mother is sick, this chicken was bought by my second uncle to replenish my mother's body, are you also sick?" Grab food with patients, your face is really big. ”

Xia Min pointed to the five pillars and said, "Is he also sick?" Do you still nibble on chicken drumsticks? ”

"He? He's still young, and you're too young? ”

Xia Min stopped talking, lowered her head and nibbled on the chicken in her hand.

After a while, Xia Shouping put the table and beckoned the children: "Stop playing, let's eat." ”

The children had been looking forward to eating meat for a long time, and immediately sat down around the table on the kang.

There are three children in the old family, five children in the third family, four children in the fourth family, and these twelve children did not sit down at a table.

Xia Shouping just brought up a pot of chicken vermicelli potatoes, and more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks went down together, and there was not even a chicken butt left in the pot.

The big tiger asked loudly while gnawing on the neck of the chicken, "What about the chicken legs, what about the chicken legs?" Who took the chicken legs? ”

Xia Min pointed to Wuzhu and said, "The third aunt is eccentric, so she gave the chicken leg to Wuzhu early." ”

Huang Liuniang was angry, and as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put down, she lay down in the quilt, and she didn't even look at them.

Qingbao was also angry, and shouted loudly: "There is only one chicken in total, and I sent a big bowl to my grandparents, my mother is sick, what's wrong with giving my mother a chicken leg and a chicken wing?" My mother is reluctant to eat Wuzhu, why is she eccentric? You want to eat the drumsticks and go back to your house to eat. ”

Xia Min pursed his lips and whispered, "Stingy." The chopsticks in his hand didn't stop for a while, and the potato vermicelli was pushed into the bowl one by one. No matter what Xia Min eats, he has a habit of packing up a part of it first, and then eating with everyone, and when eating, it is no exception, he always fills his bowl to the brim before he starts eating. When everyone else is done, she will have a bowl in her bowl. For her bad habit of taking more and taking more, Qingbao hated it in his heart.

"Am I stingy? When I go back to your house to stew meat, we will also go to your house to eat, I see that you are not stingy. Qingbao didn't let her say a word, she didn't want to put up with people like Xia Min at all.

As soon as he heard Qingbao say that he was going to her house to eat meat, Xia Min immediately stopped and didn't dare to make a sound, probably because he was really afraid that the five Qingbao brothers and sisters would go to his house to eat.

A pot full of rice and a big pot of vegetables had all been wiped out before Xia Shouping came to eat.

Xia Min, who was full, patted Qingbao proudly, took out a handful of melon seeds, and walked away while knocking.

The eldest son of the fourth uncle's family chased after Xia Shouping and asked: "Third uncle, when is your family stewed, I see a lot of pork......

Erhu also chased after Xia Shouping and kept saying: "Third uncle, I haven't eaten enough, my mother said that Erzhu's second uncle bought a lot of snacks, you give me a piece of snacks......"

I can't live this day!

Qingbao pressed the head that was faintly painful, and felt that it was really happy that he was hit headlong to death!

After the group of children left, Xia Shouping was busy cleaning up the tables and chopsticks, and Qingbao did not go to help, but sat next to Huang Liuniang, who was angry with his eyes closed.

"Mother, let's not talk to the uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family, they are too annoying."

As soon as she heard Qingbao say this, Huang Liuniang opened her eyes, and the anger on her face was replaced by nervousness: "Liuya, who taught you this?" ”

Qingbao looked at Huang Liuniang, who was nervous, a little inexplicable: "No one teaches, I think." They're so annoying, why don't we just have anything to do with them? Let's live our own lives. ”

"Shut up!" Huang Liuniang suddenly became stern, and scolded Qingbao in a low voice: "Liuya, what are you talking nonsense? Do you know that if you let others listen to your words, not only will you be whipped, but even your father and mother, your grandfather and grandmother, will not be able to escape the sin of lax discipline, so shut up quickly and rot these words in your heart. ”

What's wrong with that, isn't it good?

If they are so shameless, why bother to entangle with them?

Isn't it just quiet to cut off relations with them? You can live a better life at home.

I am for their good, or I can worry about them?

Otherwise, what does it matter to them if they are bullied to death?

Huang Liuniang's reprimand suddenly made Qingbao feel wronged, and her tears flowed down.

Seeing Qingbao crying, Huang Liuniang not only did not comfort her, but said more sternly: "It's nothing for you to say this in front of your mother, if you go out and say it, you are unfilial, you are disrespectful, you are going to isolate yourself from the clan!" Do you know the consequences of your doing this? You will be expelled from your clan, you will be expelled from your village, you will never be able to come back, and you will not be buried in your ancestral grave after you die! ”

Qingbao is a little dumbfounded, won't he, just because he broke off the relationship with a strange relative like the fourth uncle's family, he will be charged with unfilial piety and disrespect?

Huang Liuniang saw that the child stopped crying, just stared at her with confused eyes, and said in her heart that the child was still young, and she was not to blame if she didn't understand this, so she lowered her voice, touched Qingbao's head, and said softly: "Liuya, my mother also knows that your uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family are not good, but they are your elders, and you are not allowed to have the idea of breaking off the relationship." There are clan rules, and no one is allowed to do this. In the past, there was a big official in our clan, and many poor relatives went to fight the autumn wind, and no matter how much he hated these poor relatives, he had to be treated with high respect, and he had to take out money to donate to the clan every year, don't you say he was aggrieved? Didn't he think about cutting ties with poor relatives? But no matter how annoying he is, he has to endure it, if he dares to break off relations with poor relatives today, tomorrow the court will not let him be an official, the patriarch will punish him, and his relatives will look down on him, not only him, but even his children and grandchildren will have to be infamy. ”

Qingbao completely understood this time that this feudal society is completely different from the society that can act recklessly in later generations. In later generations, this kind of strange relatives have long been cut off, and no one will make irresponsible remarks, but not here, because there are family rules, social public opinion, and the court system.

"Ya, don't mention this in the future, let's not say it, as soon as your words get out today, tomorrow the people in the village will say that you are not filial to your elders and disrespect your elders. Listen to my mother's words, you are not allowed to say this in front of people in the future. Huang Liuniang began to worry about her daughter's rebellious thoughts.

Qingbao shut up, what else did she say?

From ancient times to the present, the word "filial piety", I don't know how many heroes have been overwhelmed, I don't know how many little daughters-in-law have died of grievances, and their wild and uninhibited thoughts from modern society seem to have been accepted, otherwise, I don't know how to die.

Huang Liuniang was no longer angry because the big tigers were eating and drinking, and began to worry about the children's education.

She sighed and said, "It's all to blame me and your father for being useless, I can't let you go to the school to study, I don't have a husband to teach, and I still don't know the etiquette." ”

Qingbao was depressed, I didn't expect a normal idea in later generations, in this society it turned out to be scolded by thousands of people, no wonder when people mention feudal society, they always like to add the three words "all evil", and now it seems that these three words are too right!

"Then let them bully us?" The same person, why should he be bullied by others, Lin Qi is unwilling.

"Your father is as soft as cotton, he can't stand up at all, so it's no wonder if we don't get bullied. I have a strong heart, but as a daughter-in-law, I want to be strong today, and tomorrow your grandmother can press back if she wants to make a reason. In front of the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law has no reason. Thinking of her own situation, what can Huang Liuniang do except sigh?

Don't blame anything, just blame yourself for a useless man.

Huang Liuniang accepted her fate, but being bullied is not Qingbao's style, after a general understanding of the rules of this world, Qingbao immediately used his brain, recalling how Xia's mother fought wits and courage with those relatives, although in this feudal society, Xia's mother's set also does not work, but they are all parents, and there will always be similarities.

Qingbao lowered her head and thought for a long time before she raised her head and said to Huang Liuniang: "Mother, I have a way to treat my eldest aunt and fourth aunt." ”

Huang Liuniang asked casually as if she didn't believe it, "What's the way?" ”

Qingbao attached to Huang Liuniang's ear, whispering.

After listening, Huang Liuniang was still a little shaken: "No, I don't worry about you." ”

Qingbao said, "It's okay." We're all older, so you can go to your grandmother's house for a few days. Grandma wants to cry when she thinks of you. ”

In the evening, Erzhu took out the silver given by his grandmother and handed it to Huang Liuniang, a full five taels of silver. When I turned over the package that Huang Erxi took, I also turned over a tael of silver given by Huang Erxi. Huang Liuniang felt the care of her mother and brother, so she was determined to go to see her mother.
