Chapter 17: Filial Piety
She has already saved the eggs at home, four old hens, when laying eggs, she can pick up one or two eggs from the chicken nest every day, twenty eggs, and save them in half a month.
Li Chunhua asked why the eggs were not sold, knowing that it was Liu's mother who was born, but she didn't say anything more, after all, this is an old tradition, but this time the eggs are a bit too much, twenty, which is worth a few cents.
She didn't know about brown sugar and pastries yet, otherwise, she would have made a fuss.
Liu Qin also knew who Li Chunhua was, and she didn't plan to tell her these things at all, anyway, she wouldn't go that day.
Time flies quickly, and on the day of Liu's mother's birthday, it happens to be a weekend, and there is no need to ask for leave, which means that the couple does not have to be deducted from their wages.
When drinking porridge in the morning, the twins ate an absent-minded person, who used to swallow dates and a big bowl of porridge and said that he was not full, but today he was grinding, five or six minutes passed, and he didn't even drink half a bowl of porridge.
Of course, Liu Qin saw the brothers' careful thoughts, and without thinking about it, she knocked on the skulls of the two with chopsticks.
"Hurry up and finish eating for me, don't be a demon, or I won't take you two with me."
The beauty of the family banquet has always been Qin Hu and Qin Hai's, and occasionally Qin Qing and Qin He can also go, but Qin Jiang and Qin Xi have never been there, and it's not that they don't want to go, but this kind of good thing is not their share.
"Oh, got it." The brothers replied in unison.
After receiving a pair of chopsticks, the two of them ate a lot faster.
They originally wanted to keep their stomachs and go to their grandmother's house to eat delicious food, but now it seems that it is not possible, but it is not a big deal, after breakfast, run more, jump more, and digest the contents of the stomach quickly.
Qin Qing looked at the stinky faces of the brothers after drinking the porridge, and gently pulled the corner of Li Chunhua's clothes.
"Liu Qinna, anyway, today is Sunday, the children don't have to go to school, bring Qingqing with you!"
"The child misses her grandmother, and she kept telling me last night that she wanted to see her!"
Li Chunhua wanted Qin Qing to go with her, not to mention anything else, she would definitely be able to eat a good meal at noon, and the meat would definitely be eaten, so Mrs. Liu's sixtieth birthday, the Liu family would definitely not be stingy.
These days, the food at home has been very poor, and Qin Qing's little face has lost weight.
"Nope." Seeing that Li Chunhua's face was not very good-looking, Liu Qin had to make up a few words: "Mom, my mother has a lot of family, this time my mother celebrates her sixtieth birthday, and some relatives and friends who are close will go, if there are more people in our family, it will not look good." ”
Of course, the most important thing is that if Qin Qing goes, she won't be able to hide what gifts she will give back to her parents' house, and when the time comes, Li Chunhua will definitely make a fuss.
More is better than less, so Qin Qing must not bring it.
"What's this, Qingqing is just a little girl, with a bird's big stomach, and you can't eat much when you get to your mother's house."
"Forget it, if you don't want to bring it, don't take it, take your two precious sons with you! The rest of the family is like picking it up, I've never seen such an eccentricity..."
Seeing that Li Chunhua's whispered words were becoming more and more out of tune, Liu Qin glared at Qin Shan, and the foot under the table stepped directly on Qin Shan's upper and ran it over.
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
"It's all my idea, we have a lot of children, and I can't bring this or that, isn't this the youngest of the five and sixth, or twin boys, the most pleasing to the elderly? Why did Liu Qin become eccentric? ”
"I want to take the fifth and sixth children to go, if you want to blame me, it's all my unevenness one night, it's my partiality."
Li Chunhua looked at this good and bad, and would only shout at her daughter-in-law's white-eyed wolf son: "My fault, it's all my fault." ”
"You don't look at what the family eats these days, the soup is low and watery, don't I want the child to go to her grandmother's house to have a good meal to replenish her body?"
"Besides, you brought a full twenty eggs, not counting the money you gave the old woman, and there are two more people in the family, what's wrong with having a meal there?"
Thinking of the scene of her birthday last year, Li Chunhua was so embarrassed in her heart that she was in a bowl of broken noodles, with an egg lying in it, and nothing else, this son was really raised for nothing.
That Mrs. Liu's life, not only can she collect twenty eggs, but she can also get a sum of money, I don't want to be okay, when I think about it, it seems that her mother-in-law is particularly worthless, and her heart is sour, and it is very unpleasant.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"That's my own mother, what an old woman, you are too disrespectful to speak!" Liu Qin's face was very unpleasant.
Seeing that the war at home was about to start, Qin Shan hurriedly stood up: "Daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you should go over to help early?" ”
"You go pack your things first, and we'll leave right away."
On the other hand, he must be appeased by his own wife, thinking of this, Qin Shan is distressed for a while, his few private money is about to hemorrhage again.
Qin Shan took Li Chunhua to the kitchen, apologized and said good things, and finally took out two cents from his pocket: "Mother, you take this money, don't tell Liu Qin, what do you want to eat, go buy it yourself." ”
"Don't worry about Liu Qin, she didn't mean it."
"Over the years, I have seen your hard work! It's also that I don't have the ability, otherwise, I wouldn't have let you live so hard. ”
Not to mention anything else, just for the sake of those two cents, Li Chunhua will not be angry anymore.
I saw her grab the money in Qin Shan's hand, and grasped it tightly: "The family doesn't talk to the two families, I know all your difficulties, you can rest assured!" I won't mess with Liu Qin anymore. ”
After so many times, she also summed up the rules, every time she and Liu Qin got into trouble over money, Qin Shan would finally give her some compensation in private, as small as one or two cents and as big as one and two cents.
This time she tasted the sweetness again, and it is foreseeable that the next dispute between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not be far off.
Qin Shan's private money Liu Qin knows, after all, the money is still given to him by her, five cents a month, a man, there is still some money in his pocket, as for how to dispose of it, it depends on himself.
Qin Shan, who neither smokes nor drinks, can basically have his pocket money left over every month, but he can't stand his wife too much, after so many years, there is not a single hair left.
Li Chunhua's stinky problem, Liu Qin didn't know it, but Qin Shan was in it as a buffer, and he didn't want to make trouble at home, so she didn't see it all the time, and she didn't know.
Besides, she will also give her mother-in-law a few yuan as filial piety every year, Qin Shan has never said anything about her, and she is not willing to make this trouble and make it difficult for him to be a person.
