At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Tian Shao was in charge. Because of the large number of people in the family, she made ten dishes and one soup, namely steamed whole chicken, red grilled shark fin, fried sea cucumber with green onions, sweet and sour pork ribs, minced pork vermicelli pot, hot and sour lion head, boiled fish fillet, shredded cabbage, cold jellyfish and braised pig ears.

Tan Minjun looked at the dishes on the table and was amazed: "Grandma, the third aunt is too powerful, did she deliberately learn to cook?" ”

Li Guihua said with a smile: "Your third aunt started cooking when she was seven years old, but her cooking skills were not as good as they are now, and she will also fry some home-cooked food." It's like reading a book about cooking, so there's more and more tricks. ”

She also taught the dish of steaming whole chicken. In fact, this dish doesn't need to be taught, just kill the chicken and clean it and put it in the pot to steam. As for other dishes, some of Li Guihua had never even seen them, so it was impossible to teach her.

Tan Minjun exclaimed: "The third aunt is really amazing. ”

Li Guihua said with some regret: "Your third aunt has loved learning since she was a child, and I used to think that it was useless to study and couldn't work more, and I scolded her several times. But she was stubborn and scolded her for insisting on studying. ”

Occasionally thinking back to the past, Li Guihua felt guilty in her heart, she should have been better to the child at that time, at least the child should be supported in reading and writing. It is also thanks to the eldest brother who had the foresight to scold her, so that she did not stop it later, and the child only got the initial Chinese certificate, otherwise how could she be admitted to university and have a good life today.

Tan Minjun sighed and asked, "Why do you want to scold the third aunt when she reads?" ”

I think he didn't like to learn to skip class and go out to play, and his dad found out and whipped him with a belt. Compare the third aunt again, it's really embarrassing.

Li Guihua didn't shy away from it, and said: "I didn't know before, and when I heard everyone say that the girl was useless to study, she used this to mock me, so I didn't want her to learn." It's a shame that the child didn't listen to me, otherwise this life would have been ruined by me. ”

Facts have proved that the eldest girl in her family is a good seedling of study, and now she has become a useful talent for the country.

Tan Minxing, who rarely speaks, sighed a little when he listened. No wonder it is often said that many people in the countryside are ignorant and ignorant, and how to become smart and how to make life good if they don't let children read books.

When the soup was served, everyone also arrived in the hall, because there were more than ten people, so they made a small square table, and the third and fourth girls took a few people to eat on the small square table.

After eating, Siya reminded the old words again: "Eldest sister, if only you could cook every day." ”

The family is tired of eating those dishes every day, unlike the eldest sister who can often cook fresh dishes for them to eat. She also gave Li Guihua advice, and what she replied to was a fat beating.

Tan Yue glanced at her and didn't speak.

Tan Minjun burped and said, "The third aunt is so busy, how can she cook for you every day, and it's good to have a meal once in a while." ”

When I was a child, my mother had to go to work and didn't have time to cook at noon, so I called back from the cafeteria to eat. In the afternoon, he fried two dishes casually, but fortunately, his mother's soup skills were good.

Tian Shao looked at the two young men and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do in the afternoon, do you want to climb the mountain." ”

Tian Dali stopped when he heard this, and said: "It's a drowsy day, and it may rain in the afternoon." ”

On a rainy day, the road is slippery, and they don't dare to go up the mountain, Tan Minjun is not diligent in his limbs, and he will definitely fall badly. If the child is at home, he cannot afford to be responsible if he breaks it.

After eating, Li Guihua pulled Tian Shao and Sanya into the house and asked about Wu Zhengqing. I was too busy to ask before, but last night she specially asked Sanya about this, but the girl couldn't answer many questions. Li Guihua was so angry that she scolded Sanya.

Li Guihua asked Tian Shao: "Before you said that Wu Zhengqing was a company commander, and my father held an important position in a certain army in the northwest. So what the are you doing at home? ”

Tian Shao said with a smile: "Before the three brothers grew up, his mother took care of the children at home, and after they all worked, Aunt Wu went to work in the logistics of the children's school. ”

"How's Wu Zhengqing's mother's temperament? Sanya is so soft, if she meets someone who is not good at talking, she will not tell us if she is bullied. ”

Zhi'er is like a mother, six daughters, the second is a dead eye, and the third is a little cowardly. Now the second child is not afraid of being bullied under her nose, but it is the third child who makes her hang.

Tian Shao had never seen Wu Zhengqing's mother, he said: "Sister-in-law said that Wu Zhengqing's mother is reasonable, but she is impatient and talks a little more. Mother, don't worry about these, Wu Zhengqing works in Sijiu City far away from the northwest! It's rare to go to the northwest once a year, and it's not in the way. ”

"Then what if you want to live with Sanya and them in the future?"

Tian Shao smiled and said, "It's not easy to do? In the future, Sanya bought a house in Sijiu City and bought a two-room one, and there was no place to live, so she was embarrassed to live with them. ”

Sanya said: "Eldest sister, after getting married, you should live in the family camp. ”

Tian Shao glanced at her and said, "Living in Chang'an Hutong, you can help people make clothes, and you can earn forty or fifty a month." You are going to the family camp, if other military wives ask you to help make clothes, will you agree or refuse? Promise, that is to do day work; If you refuse, it will not be conducive to unity and will crowd you out. Also, the level of teachers in the family camp is uneven, so who can you trust your children to teach? ”

"The kindergarten and primary school next to us are very good, and for the sake of the children, they shouldn't live in the family camp."

Sanya hesitated and said, "Eldest sister, my household registration is not there, so the child should not be able to enter." ”

Li Guihua really thinks that she is an elm head, and the eldest daughter will definitely be able to send the child in after mentioning it: "Reading is a matter of a lifetime, you don't want to delay the child's future because of temporary face." ”

Sanya said: "Mother, when I have a child, the eldest sister will help me put the child in the kindergarten and primary school next to Chang'an Avenue." What about the second sister, the fourth sister and the fifth sister? Do you have to arrange for their children to go to good schools? Mother, we can't get married, and we always point to the eldest sister. ”

After speaking, she looked at Tian Shao and said, "Eldest sister, I know that you are for my good, but I don't want to be your burden." ”

Tian Shao was very relieved and said with a smile: "I'm glad that you can think like this." However, the hukou is actually very easy to handle, Wu Zhengqing's hukou is in Sijiu City, and when the time comes, you can buy two houses next to the school, so that Wu Zhengqing and his children's hukou can fall there. ”

"How else can you do that?"

Tian Shao smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”

The Wu family has connections in Sijiu City, and if Wu Zhengqing has this heart, he will find a way to complete the affairs of Sanya's household registration at that time. Of course, it doesn't matter if the samurai don't do it in principle, there will be a policy in a few years, and if you have a house in Beijing, you can settle down. As for children's reading, this is not a matter at all.

Sanya was moved when she heard this. The house in the family camp is just borrowed, and it will be gone if they want to transfer jobs, but the house they bought in Sijiu City is their own.

Tian Shao looked at her expression and said with a smile: "You have good craftsmanship, work hard for another two years, and then it will not be a problem to buy two rooms with Wu Zhengqing's allowance." ”

"Big sister, I'll do my best."
