Father Zhou softened his complexion: "It's good to come back." ”

Maybe it's about to be the New Year, and the house is full of joy, no one finds fault and no one says uncomfortable things.

A family of four sat together, smiling and catering to the opposite side, even the three rich, who have always disliked hypocrisy and wrongdoing, played well with Zhou Zhaodi's mother's children.

After inspecting the New Year's goods brought by Zhou Zhaodi, he saw that there was meat, eggs, a piece of cloth and some potatoes inside, obviously brought back with his heart, Chen's wrinkled face smiled directly.

These meats, eggs, and cloths are all hard-headed goods, and they can be brought anywhere.

"Come, come, eat, eat."

Chen's heart estimated that the first few daughters didn't bring back any good New Year's goods, so they definitely couldn't eat on the table, and the things that Lao Liu Zhaodi brought back were very good, but they couldn't eat on the table either.

How can a woman eat at the table?

Give her an extra piece of meat later, and the little one can't be served.

She turned her mind away, and began to beckon the people of the house to eat, and first opened the large round table and pulled it to the middle, and after a while the table was full of plates, and at a cursory glance there were fish and scrambled eggs, and some meat dishes.

However, the meat dish is very fat, and the big fat meat is sandwiched and swaying, and the oil floats on the surface, which makes people look unappetizing, and the rice is brown rice mixed with soybeans, which looks like a lot of it is actually not eaten.

The men of the Zhou family naturally sat at the table, the two daughters-in-law were busy pouring wine and serving vegetables, and the daughters who returned to their parents' homes stood aside and watched.

Some of them were standing with their daughters, others watching their sons and husbands eat at the table, and when Chen was done, he beckoned a group of women and little girls to find a corner of the house and sit down.

"Mom?"

Lin Xiangrong had a question mark in his head: "Why did you come here?" ”

Skipping meals?

What are they doing on the ground?

Zhou Zhaodi's eldest sister smiled at Lin Xiangrong and said, "We are women, and we are not qualified to eat at the table, so we just sit on the ground and wait for them to finish eating before we can eat." ”

This was natural and logical, and the rest of the people echoed it, and told Lin Xiangrong that she would not be able to serve it until her father and brother had finished eating, and that she would go to wash their feet after eating.

Lin Xiangrong didn't want to eat anymore.

"Dad, I'll go down and find my sister." Sanfu didn't want to eat, he didn't move his chopsticks at all, just looking at the dishes on the table, he didn't really want to eat, although the dishes were not appetizing, but what made him more uncomfortable was the atmosphere of this family.

Father Zhou shouted, drank two sips of bulk liquor, and called out his youthful 'achievements' to say how powerful he was, and slapped the table when he talked about his excitement, scolding and screaming.

The two uncles were even more open, and there were several older girls in the room, who were already thirteen or fourteen years old, who listened to these words, and lowered their heads in surprise, and pursed their lips with slightly red cheeks.

A few aunts waited for their husbands who followed them back to their parents' homes, and they were called attentive and considerate, wiping their mouths and picking vegetables, and they didn't care if they were pushed.

This kind of environment and atmosphere makes Sanfu unable to swallow, he knows that his family is a little patriarchal, and he doesn't look down on the two girls, Da Ni and Erni, but in the most difficult time in the family, they don't miss a bite to eat.

There has never been a rule that women can't serve the table, eat leftovers and wash the feet of the men in the family, they are all about doing what they should do after eating, at most Zhang Miao is too much, and she will be mean to the two daughters.

But Lin Yuannan has always held his only girl in the palm of his hand as a treasure in his hand.

Wang Cuilan also talked day and night about spoiling Lin Xiangrong, taking care of Lin Xiangrong, whatever is good should be given to her, she is the little blessing doll in the family, and she is the youngest girl.

Dafu and Erfu have heard a lot, so they will naturally listen to it, and subtly treat Lin Xiangrong well, and they are not jealous of all the good things they have for her, although the two of them don't eat as much as Lin Xiangrong, but in the end there are still them.

And Sanfu is because Lin Xiangrong is his own sister-in-law, and he cares for her from the bottom of his heart, and at this time, he saw his sister nested in Zhou Zhaodi's arms, playing with her hair irritably, and suddenly felt distressed and wanted to go down to accompany her.

Lin Yuannan held him down: "Sanfu, what you have to do now is to eat." ”

He won't let his son go over to cause trouble to his wife and daughter, the Zhou family has heavy rules, and there are a lot of old habits, if Sanfu runs over directly, it will only cause trouble for the family.

Sanfu reacted, he stopped talking for a while, lowered his head and ate without a bite, and from time to time he grabbed a chopstick meat to eat, and only after eating did he get off Zhuo, and walked over to hug Lin Xiangrong in his arms after saying hello.

"Brother will take you to the village commissary to buy something to eat."

At this time, there was already a commissary, although it was not big, it was just a very small hut, and the things sold in it were all imitations of the town commissary, and the things were not complete, but there were some snacks.

"Okay."

Sanfu wrapped her in a ball, said a few words to Zhou Zhaodi, and led Lin Xiangrong to the village commissary.

"We'll go back in two days, you bear with it first, we can't be too special."

He sighed: "Fortunately, my mother gave the money in advance, I guess it was expected, originally only my mother came alone, she hid out directly, bought something to eat, and now I can't hide with you, so I called me to take you out to buy." ”

"What about Mom?" Lin Xiangrong was a little annoyed, he couldn't go back here like this in the future.

And now it's the 80s, and there is no rule that women can't serve at the table when they eat.

What's more, the country is now open and active in carrying out a big campaign, advocating that women go out of the house to work and earn money to support themselves and their families, and do not approve of women staying at home to help others, but the earlier generation of women in rural areas no longer have the opportunity to go out.

Now Dani and Erni and Lin Xiangrong's generation can fight outside.

If you are lucky to be admitted to a good school, come out and find a serious job, you will not have to worry about anything in the future, if you are unlucky and do not get in, if you don't want to go to work and go out to work hard, you will return home and wait until you are old enough to receive a dowry and then get married.

"Let's buy more and let Mom eat it at night."

"That's all there is to it." Lin Xiangrong sighed and stood on tiptoe in the commissary to see what was eaten.

After sweeping around, there are not many types, but there are things like tobacco leaves and bulk wine, and some daily necessities, not too much, but enough for the people in the village to buy, and there are not many snacks.

She bought two random things to fill her stomach, and then bought some dry food to go back for Zhou Zhaodi to eat.

When Sanfu took Lin Xiangrong back, the house had not finished eating, and a group of men were shouting at each other and blowing each other, and seeing that there were not a few points, they couldn't get off the table.
