On the second day of junior high school, the sons were all gone, Pearl took care of Zhou Ze alone, and the two of them talked, and Pearl once again mentioned the meaning of sending someone back to his hometown to see after the New Year. Zhou Ze heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and he said for a long time, "It's useless to go back, we are just ordinary people, since we left at the beginning, now we are inferior when we go back, which makes people see jokes." ”

Pearl also felt that it made sense when she heard this, and she had to think about it, Zhou Ze said again, "Actually, I still have a younger sister, but after so many years, I don't know what happened?" She should be forty this year, right? ”

I didn't remember this, and Pearl asked, "Where is she now?" ”

"Linhe Village, Yushu County, Qing'an Prefecture, which is a hundred miles away from my hometown, is even farther away from our side. I didn't expect to marry him so far away, who knew that she would move? ”

"That's easy to do, I let people inquire, it's always relatives, it's natural to worry." Pearl comforts him,

Zhou Ze looked at the pearl and said, "You...... I don't plan to give the boss to ...... That person? ”

For the past, Pearl now also remembers, when the war was raging, the wrong cousin was believed, and the person was used as an outer room, and when he knew, the pearl left, and the man didn't care, just left, and searched all the money. Only when he was leaving, he found a piece of jade pendant on the bed and took it away. Such a hateful person, what is the need to contact, so he said, "The days are good now, I have long forgotten." Don't mention it. No worries. ”

"Well, yes!"

There are few people in the village today. Probably all of them are housekeepers, go back to their parents' homes, today Pearl closed the door, and then led the four girls to practice martial arts in the yard, this is a rare good opportunity, usually in the backyard, the place is small, and you can't use weapons.

At noon, Pearl made bird's nest porridge for everyone to eat, and secretly toniced her daughter. Of course. Zhou Ze also ate it, but Pearl didn't explain, and he didn't think there was anything. In the afternoon, I also told my daughters about some of the methods of the back house. What to eat for contraception. What to eat can make a person have a miscarriage. What to do if your husband cheats. Before you get married, what to look out for. Now the four girls are very well conditioned by pearls, but it's a pity. Pearl kept them under strict control, and sometimes the girls from the village would come over, such as the village chief's daughter, and a few others, who were obviously more curious about what Wei Ji and her sisters had learned and what they had embroidered.

Pearl also took the opportunity to teach the children how to behave in the world, although their sisters did not go out, which did not prevent the four girls from making friends, Pearl did not stop her daughter from meeting them, first, she planned to let her daughter marry the farmer, so in addition to the martial arts that the four girls liked, Pearl focused on teaching them cooking and embroidery, which may be their ability to make a living in the future. And the things encountered in the process of getting along with these girls can allow Pearl to derive many useful things from what they say and do, which are all things that her daughter must master in the future. Pearl also taught them how to look at people, from the conversation of these people, their small movements, some little secrets, a few girls listened very seriously, and they couldn't wait to find someone to try it immediately. Now that the daughter-in-law is gone, she is just teaching her daughters something special, and her daughter will also marry in the future.

Today's dinner, Pearl took her four daughters and made some fresh dishes, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which requires effort, how to boil the sugar and pull out a long thread, this is a technical job. There are also seasonings, what dishes are good for what seasonings, how to make them delicious, there are a lot of knocks on the door! For example, there are many ways to make fish. They usually cook fish here by putting the fish in a pot and boiling it, then putting it on the miso and it's finished. Pearl taught her daughters how to fry fish without letting the fish lose its skin, and gave them how to make it to get rid of the fishy smell of the fish, and she could also boil fish soup and make crucian carp stewed tofu. You can also fry fish and make fish balls. Then there is how to make the green vegetables delicious, the method of making cold dishes given to them by the pearls, what dishes are used with what things, even making rice is a knowledge, washing rice water is also a good thing, and rice soup is even more good. You can put rice soup in many dishes.

After dinner, Pearl accompanied Zhou Ze to talk for a while, and also put forward the meaning that the boss might be separated, of course, the real situation can't be said, it can only be said that it is because the boss should also be independent, otherwise the other two brothers will have opinions. Besides, the boss has exams in the future, so he can move to the town. When Zhou Ze heard this, he was stunned and didn't express any opinion, just nodded to indicate that he knew.

Pearl's mood is not very good, she has been a mother, a grandmother, a grandmother, for children, in the first life, she cares a lot, children are her lifeblood, from the children babbling, to teach them a little bit, teach them to learn various talents, give them enough material security, and spiritual support. She has always felt that children are her responsibility and that she needs to be protected. On the other hand, the more you care about your child, the more you want to be able to control everything about him, and if you encounter your child's resistance, you will be sad and annoyed. In the end, I realized that children are children, they are human beings, and they all have their own thoughts. I won't be at your mercy. When you are old, your energy is not good, your body does not listen to your call, and the biggest feeling is that you are powerless, you are old, your body and spirit are not good, your reaction is slow, and your work has become softer, which makes the children even more disrespectful of your words. The end of the hero, the twilight of the beauty, how desolate.

When I went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Pearl continued to light the lamp and make snacks for everyone, and today I wanted to make jujube paste cut cake, sesame ghee cake, red bean glutinous rice cake, and the last one was crème brûlée. Pearl teaches while doing it, and if you don't understand it, you will ask. When it was done, it was put in the barn, where it was usually put for food, and it was all locked.

Before going to bed at night, Jing Jiang asked Pearl, "Mother, do you really bear not to want a big brother?" ”

"I can't bear it, but I'm not his mother alone, I have other children, for the sake of other children, this rotten apple must be picked out, you four are not small, if one day in the future you will also calculate me, count my sisters and brothers, and the end will be the same as the boss."

The four girls didn't dare to say more. I can only honestly go back to my room. The second child who came back first, the second child's expression was gentle, Meng was very happy, hugged the little girl, and said to the pearl that he took back the things, but it was too welcome, a total of four boxes were brought back, Meng's mother asked for two boxes, and the other two boxes were given to her good friends, as well as the foundation she brought, two sisters-in-law each had a box, and the soap was also a piece per person. The sister-in-law that Pearl said is actually the sister-in-law's sister-in-law, and she gets along well with the Meng family, but this time it's okay, just give a box of foundation, and the rest is with close relatives and friends.

"Mother, you don't know! My mother looked at the two rings, it's rare, it's been two hours, if we weren't leaving, my sister-in-law and they would be back, I guess they are still appreciating! This time, my mother also asked me to bring you two old hens, two big fish, which my two brothers caught in the river, and I guess our pot can't fit it. ”

Pearl smiled and said, "The big stew is not delicious, but you can make something else." Go back and rest! Give the little girl some banlan root tonight. ”

"Well, I see."

Pearl put the banlan root in the bottle and gave it to Montess. After more than half an hour, the eldest and the third came back. Looking at the old people are still like that, it is estimated that it is very ordinary. It's just that the third child is there, and his face is not very good-looking. Zheng came back this time and brought back snacks, wine, tea and a chicken for Pearl. The third child is a snack bag, no wonder the third child is unhappy.

Zhou Deng walked up to Pearl, took out a dozen red envelopes from his arms, gave them to Pearl, and said, "Mother, in the future, their family's gifts will not have to be compared to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law." Just go and save these red envelopes. Don't give. ”

Pearl frowned and said, "The first time I went back to pay New Year's greetings, what's the matter, I don't like our family's etiquette is not good enough, or are you not thoughtful enough?" ”

"There are a lot of things to talk about, the first one, I was wearing silk clothes, and my daughter-in-law was wearing cloth clothes, saying that I treated their daughters slowly. The second, for the Chinese New Year, the son-in-law came to the door, no matter what, he had to have a decent meal, right? A few slices of meat stewed with sauerkraut, a scrambled egg, and no wine, and that's it. When I was leaving, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law came up directly to ask for red envelopes, and said that they would give a few pennies and don't want to send it away, and asked me to give a golden nude. The third, my good daughter-in-law, pushed everything on me when she arrived at her parents' house. Fortunately, she didn't say what she shouldn't have said, otherwise, she wouldn't have had to come back today. With that, he turned around and left.

Pearl walked up to Zhang's side and looked at her, "Don't want to be over?" Alas! Our family is not blessed! So be it! You want to leave, but you don't want to stay, I'll let the third child write and leave the book, and I'll give you some compensation, what do you think? ”

"I didn't say anything! Mother, I just said that he doesn't care about me, he is in charge of the family's money, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family are all women's money. That's what I said. It's really nothing. When he finished speaking, he cried.

"I don't think you're more worry-free than the Zheng family, if I die, or I'm old and confused, I guess no one can compare to you who tortures me. So be it! and ye shall be divided. There is another stirrger in the family, and I really did too many immoral things in my previous life. After that, he went back.

Zhang shouted loudly, "Mother, are you forcing me to leave, or are you forcing me to leave your house, in your Zhou family, I am not welcomed, isn't it just for that dowry?" Isn't it just for the red envelopes of the New Year? Who is the son-in-law's door-to-door and doesn't give red envelopes? Obviously, I live in a big yard and eat chicken, duck and fish, and I can't even give my mother's family three or five taels of silver, I have never seen such unreasonableness. Isn't it just separation? Then just leave it. ”

Zheng just came out, and the third child in the house saw that his daughter-in-law hadn't entered the house for a long time, so he came out to see, heard his daughter-in-law's words clearly, walked to Zhang's side angrily, and said, "Three or five taels of silver are red envelopes." You give my niece a few taels of red envelopes, you talk about it. ”

Zhang had nothing to say, Zhou Deng was in a hurry, and when he saw Zhang's face was not angry, he raised his hand and was about to fight. Pearl said, "It's not a gentleman to beat a woman. ”

put down the third child's hand, and then said, "She has something to rely on, and she has the ancestors of the old Zhou family in her belly, of course she doesn't take my mother-in-law seriously." This matter, the third child will do it himself! With that, he left. (To be continued.) )
