Chapter 2 Right and Wrong in the Farmhouse
Dumb sat in his chair, his eyes fixed on the two meatloafs in a small basin in the middle of the table.
On weekdays, there is only one meatloaf, which is for the third uncle.
Today, there is one more.
For yourself?
Dumbfounded, drooling from the corners of his mouth, but then his little head shook twice.
No way, Zhao doesn't like his own.
He remembered that once, he just grabbed chopsticks on the table first, and was beaten hard by Zhao with chopsticks, and his hands were swollen.
The pain made him cry for a long time, and he didn't dare to serve it first in the future.
Although the Xue family is a farmer, there are many rules.
In the early days, when Old Man Xue's father was alive, there was still a rule that women and children could not share the table with men.
However, after the death of Old Man Xue's father, at a dinner table, this rule was abolished by Old Lady Xue's Zhao family.
In this regard, the old man just lowered his head to eat, as if he had not heard of it.
Zhao was very beautiful when he was young, and there were many young men who pursued him.
But the Zhao family looked down on those people, and often scolded those people with a sharp mouth, and ran away with a fart.
Over time, the Zhao family became famous in Shili and Eight Townships, and was known as Little Pepper.
Little Pepper's reputation rang, and more young people persisted in pursuing the Zhao family, but somehow, they were chased by Mu Ne's honest grandfather at that time.
Many people can't figure it out, even the four sons of the Xue family can't figure it out.
Why would Mom marry Dad.
But they would never dare to ask this.
This is a great unfilial piety.
Now that decades have passed, the Zhao family is over half a hundred years old, his face is no longer what he used to be, and his temperament has softened a lot, but the shadow of that year is still faintly visible.
Zhao was dressed very neatly, with a little silver hair coiled into a bun and a red sandalwood hairpin.
A half-new skirt, although there are a few patches on it, it is cleanly washed, and it is very majestic.
Most of the rules of the Xue family today were set by the Zhao family, and in the Xue family, the Zhao family said the same thing, and the words of the old man Xue ......
Forget it, Old Man Xue has nothing to say.
Dumb looked at a man sitting next to Zhao, envious in his heart.
The man was slightly chubby, with little beard, his hair tied in a bun, and he was dressed in a half-new gray robe of genius, his eyes were closed, his lips were squirming back and forth, and he did not know what he was thinking.
He is the retired immortal who is fully supported by the Xue family, the third uncle of Dumb, and Xue Bingcai, who has a meatloaf to eat every day.
Dumb has wanted to be like the third uncle since he was a child.
He also wants to eat meatloaf every day.
However, in private, he knew that his mother and aunts didn't like the third uncle.
also said that the third uncle sat there all day and didn't do anything, and he was indeed a leisure.
Xue Bingcai began to cultivate immortals at the age of six, and at the age of fifteen, he passed the college examination and became a wonderful talent.
At that time, the Xue family was happy.
But in the next sixteen years, Xue Bingcai repeatedly failed, and everyone was a little discouraged.
Now Xue Bingcai is also in his early thirties, and in the countryside where he got married as a teenager, Xue Bingcai's annual collar is too big.
Zhao persuaded Xue Bingcai to give up continuing to cultivate immortals, marry his own son, and take care of farming.
Xue Bingcai swore that as long as he did not pass the township test and did not become a feather soldier, he would never marry.
Xue Bingcai made this oath, and the family didn't want to say anything.
On the right hand side of Master Xue are Father Xue, Dumb, Mother Xue and Dumb's sister Xiaoying.
Father Xue's expression was a little dazed, and the clouds of sorrow rose to his eyebrows.
He promised his eldest brother and helped his sister-in-law speak, but how did he face the child and his mother, and the dumb.
Mother Xue on the side smiled with a smile on her face, for the sake of her son, everyone she saw today was smiling.
She doesn't ask her family to support her, as long as they don't object.
Besides, why should they oppose it?
Most of the family's financial resources are supported by the child's father.
The smile on Xue Mu's face was even stronger, and she changed her posture and hugged Xiaoying.
It will happen today.
Xiaoying, this little girl, is also four years old this year, with two skyrocketing swords on her head, two runny noses flowing from her nose, and sometimes sucking twice.
Sitting in Xue Mu's arms, a pair of big eyes stared closely at the meatloaf in the basin.
Next to Dumb's family, it is Dumb's fourth uncle, Xue Laopimp's family.
The old pimple is in his early twenties, and his figure is a little dark and thin, but his eyes are black and shiny, and he looks very shrewd.
In stark contrast to the old pimple, the old fourth daughter-in-law who was smiling on the side looked a little silly.
The fourth daughter-in-law has a gentle personality, and rarely quarrels with her family in ordinary days, and belongs to the kind that does not cause trouble and has no opinions.
The children love this, their fourth aunt.
The fourth daughter-in-law was holding the two children in her arms, and the two children were just over a year old, but they had already been weaned.
There was no other reason, malnutrition, not much milk, so I could only feed the two children some more gruel.
In the morning, the child is at its quietest, and at this time the sleep is relatively sweet.
Because the two children are girls, the old pimple discussed with his daughter-in-law that he planned to have another one, and there must be a boy so that he could pass on the lineage.
On the right side of the old pimple family, opposite the dumb family, is the Xue Boss family of three.
Boss Xue is in good spirits today.
The eldest daughter-in-law's face is also radiant.
Just now, her husband, who has nothing to do, told her that the second child agreed.
It was a bonus.
It seems that people just have to force it, otherwise they don't know how capable they are.
The eldest daughter-in-law secretly kicked Boss Xue and motioned for Boss Xue to speak.
Boss Xue didn't expect his daughter-in-law to let him say, for a while, he felt a little empty in his heart, glanced at his mother and second siblings, and didn't dare to speak.
Zhao's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Boss Xue, "Boss, is there something?"
"No, no. When it came to the end, Boss Xue shrank his head.
The eldest daughter-in-law was so angry that her chest was about to explode, "It's really useless." ”
Zhao sighed in his heart.
The boss is good at everything, but this temperament is too cowardly, and he is angry with his brother and daughter-in-law.
In addition to the third child, the eldest is the most filial, and he always thinks about her as a mother.
This filial piety is much stronger than the second and fourth children.
The second and fourth children disappointed him a little.
Especially the second child, the two of them have everything hidden, and they don't say that they are filial to her.
"It would be nice if they were all like the eldest and third!"
Thinking of this, Zhao looked at his third son, with pity and pity in his eyes.
thought to himself, "Whether you pass the exam this time or not, you have to get a daughter-in-law for the third child." ”
"The girl of the old Zhang family at the head of the village is not bad, this year's sixteenth, there is no one yet, I went to find someone to talk to her. ”
"Although the third child is older, he is an immortal cultivator after all, and he has the title of Miaocai, and he does not wronged his girl. ”
"In the end, it's his girl who takes advantage. ”
"Let's eat!" Zhao's voice fell, and everyone picked up the bowl in front of them and drank the clear gruel in the bowl.
The eldest daughter-in-law kicked Boss Xue a few more times, but Boss Xue was silent, and motioned for her to speak.
The eldest daughter-in-law glanced at Boss Xue fiercely, and then said with a smile, "Mother, our family's harvest is okay recently, right?"
"Old family, just say something directly, don't hide it. ”
was picked out by the Zhao family, and the eldest daughter-in-law no longer covered it up, "Mother, I see that our family's harvest has been okay in the past two years, and I want Xiao Tao to start cultivating immortals." ”
As soon as Dumb heard it, he knew that the third uncle could eat meatloaf because the third uncle was cultivating immortals.
"Mother, I also want to cultivate immortals. Dumb looked back at Xue Mu and said obediently.
Mother Xue was in a hurry, kicked Father Xue hard, and signaled Father Xue to hurry up and fight for Dumb.
Father Xue was speechless, so angry that Mother Xue almost had a seizure on the spot.
Mother Xue suppressed her temperament and said decisively, "Mother, I originally wanted to mention it to you, but my sister-in-law opened her mouth, and I can't help but say it." ”
"Dumb is not young this year, the harvest at home this year is okay, and I also want Dumb to go to cultivate immortals. ”
For a while, the eyes of the whole family were focused on the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law.
