Chapter 16: A Little Farce Before Dinner
Chen Shoushan looked at Chen Shouhe and sneered, "The face is so big!" ”
Zhao Miaomiao nodded secretly, isn't it? The face is so big! But the fourth uncle's words are too direct!
The face is so big! Chen Shouhe was piercing and angry when he heard this, especially when he said this, the fourth child who had been pressed by him everywhere before, the anger in his chest rose even more, and he gritted his teeth and glared at the person and shouted, "Fourth, what did you say?" ”
Chen Shoushan was not afraid at all, and looked back at him lightly, "I said your face is so big!" ”
"Chen Shoushan!" Chen Shouhe clenched his fists, and his body was about to cross the food to beat people.
Chen Shoujia and Chen Shouye quickly grabbed Chen Shouhe and dragged him away from the table, thinking that you two want to beat us and applaud, but you can't spoil the meal!
Looking at the meal that almost overturned, the two sons who were fighting angrily, Mrs. Chen was so angry that she stepped forward directly to beat people, one of them gave a few slaps, and scolded angrily, "All of them have full stomachs and strength to fight, what else do you eat, get out of the old lady, don't eat the rice!" ”
Don't eat any food!
Chen Shoushan froze and sneered, "Mother, I didn't want to fight with the third brother, he wanted to beat people." ”
Chen Shouhe also calmed down, he wanted to fight later, he couldn't miss tonight's good meal, and said, "My mother is the fourth child who provoked me first, my son hasn't eaten a full meal outside in the past few years, and he hasn't eaten a piece of meat during the New Year, and he can only drink water when his stomach is empty." ”
Mrs. Chen softened her heart when she heard this, and she slapped him angrily, and said cautiously, "After knowing the hardship, the old lady should be honest and don't touch that thing again, you are still lucky to come back so much, you know?" ”
Chen Shouhe responded perfunctorily, "Uh-huh." ”
Chen Shoushan laughed.
Mrs. Chen glanced at him, "Fourth! What are you messing around? ”
Chen Shoushan clenched his chopsticks and did not speak.
Chen Shouxing frowned and interrupted Mrs. Chen, who was about to preach, and said, "Mother will start the meal first, and it will be dark later." ”
Mrs. Chen stopped talking, "Alas! Open the meal. ”
As soon as they heard that the meal was served, the chopsticks of the Chen family immediately moved, sweeping the dishes and soup pots like a wind.
Except for this little farce before the meal, everyone in the Chen family was very satisfied.
Li Fatya touched her stomach, licked her mouth and said, "It would be nice if every meal was like tonight!" ”
Jin Bao and Yin Bao nodded their heads again and again.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, "What do you want?" What a daydream! ”
Li Fatya blinked and said humbly, "It's already dark." ”
Jinbao Yinbao glanced at the sky, and nodded, "Yes, grandma is getting dark, it's time to say stop dreaming." ”
Mrs. Chen: "......"
Zhao Miaomiao covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Mother, there is a good thing in our family today." ”
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Chen was stunned, and then her eyes lit up and said, "Miao Miao, are you pregnant again?" ”
Chen Shouxing: "??? ”
Zhao Miaomiao: "........."
Seeing that the sisters-in-law were about to say goodbye, Zhao Miaomiao shook her head with a hot face and said, "It's not my mother, it's Huihui's embroidery and embroidery's embroidery that can be accepted in the town." ”
Mrs. Chen was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Really?" ”
He and Wang Hongmei also asked excitedly, "Fifth brother and sister, can you really accept it?" ”
"Wow! If we can collect it, we can make money! Huihui embroidered and embroidered the two hugged each other excitedly, and the little aunt didn't mention it when she came back, and they both thought that the town would not accept it.
Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "Embroidery Huihui embroiders cotton handkerchiefs, which is not much, only two pennies, and when their embroidery skills are better in the future, they can take over the silk handkerchief embroidery work in the county, and one can have at least six pennies." ”
Mrs. Chen naturally understands that being able to make money is a good start, and instructed, "Huihui embroidery, you two embroider well, and you don't have to work in the fields after practicing your skills, and you can find a good family." ”
Huihui nodded and said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will." ”
Laidi was envious, looking down at her black and rough hands, knowing that most of the girls in the village were like her, and they might even be better than them, and they could eat more meat with the blessing of a full stomach and a little aunt, but with Huihui embroidery in front of her, she was unwilling to live like her mother and her little aunt in the future!
She pinched her fingers unwillingly and didn't know what to do, her eyes darkened.
He and Wang Hongmei grinned when they saw that their daughter was promising.
Li Fatya looked at Yinbao enviously and resentfully, and muttered, "Why isn't she a girl!" ”
Yinbao scratched his head and asked, "Mother, what do you think I'm doing?" ”
Li Fatya's eyes became even more resentful, "Why aren't you a girl?" ”
Chen Shoushan nodded, and also looked at Yinbao with a little resentment.
Silvertreasure: "??? ”
Jinbao knows why his father is like this, originally his father didn't want to give birth to him, saying that it was too hard to raise a child and have a son to support the old age and inherit the lineage, and then the aunt married in, looking at Huihui embroidery and learning embroidery with the aunt and felt that she could make money, and her father didn't want to suffer a loss so she wanted to have a daughter again, and she was born a younger brother.
Chen Shoujia regretted it a little, he knew that he could make money so quickly, he should have made trouble and let a girl learn embroidery with his five brothers and sisters, and now the youngest Pan Di is ten years old to learn embroidery, and when he can make money, he will marry someone else's family, forget it.
The Dong family doesn't know what the He family is happy about, what is the use of a girl who can make money, they are all married to other people's families, and the dowry money can't reach their own hands.
Zhao Miaomiao didn't know what everyone in the Chen family was thinking, so she continued, "After a while, Huihui embroidered in my room to get the embroidered things. ”
Hui Hui nodded in response.
Dinner was over, Ho stayed to clean up the table, and everyone else left the hall.
Li Fatya pushed Chen Shoushan and said, "Daddy, do we want to have another girl?" ”
Chen Shoushan shook his head and said, "What is the birth?" What if you are born a brat? How much sin is it to adopt a son? You have to ask for a house and a dowry, the more the children eat, the less we can eat in our mouths, and the more fields we cultivate, the easier it is to die of exhaustion. ”
Li Fatya nodded and clasped her fingers, thinking that this was the reason.
Chen Shoushan continued, "Even if the girl is gone, the silver will not reach us much, let's think about the granddaughter, let's find a good daughter-in-law for Jinbao as soon as possible, and get married as soon as the age comes, I have a good relationship with the fifth brother, and when the time comes, let the granddaughter learn embroidery with the fifth brother and sister will definitely be successful, and I can't lose!" ”
Li Fatya's eyes lit up, and she grinned, "Son, his father is so smart, won't his granddaughter hand over the money to us!" Then I have to find out which good girl is smart and capable, and order it for Jinbao. ”
On the other side,
Zhao Miaomiao handed over the things to Hui Hui Xiuxiu and said, "I took forty handkerchiefs, twenty sachets and twenty wallets for you, and you two embroidered in half." ”
Hui Hui embroidered and replied, "I know." ”
Zhao Miaomiao said again, "The handkerchief is embroidered with three articles, and the sachet wallet depends on the ability of the two of you, embroidered with more money, otherwise it will be two pennies, how many handkerchief sachet wallets are I will tell your grandmother truthfully, and it depends on you how much money you can save." ”
Huihui nodded in response, the little aunt hinted before that she was also guessing and looking forward to it, but now she couldn't help but be excited.
Xiuxiu was so happy that she hugged humanity, "Thank you, little aunt!" The little aunt is the best. ”
