In the evening, I stewed a large pot of soybeans and pig's feet, and then cut into two plates of the old pepper chicken braised yesterday. A large table of people ate with oil at the corners of their mouths.
After the meal, the eldest sister and the second sister clear the table, dishes and chopsticks.
Li Xiuer didn't just watch, she went to the kitchen to boil hot water and wash the dishes.
Song Dashi smoked leaf cigarettes in silence. His mood was bitter and complicated. He had lived in Yuelai Town all his life. No old man had ever been kicked out by his son and wife like this. It was really embarrassing!
How could he have the dignity to raise such a son?
Since they were young, he and his wife had been partial to the eldest child. They gave away the second and third children early and only shared a small amount. Over the years, the two elders have been busy at home and raising their grandchildren. The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law have given birth to children. They dislike the fact that the child is a girl and have not helped them a few times. They are also afraid that the elders will have objections. Anyway, they are old. If you don't rely on these two sons anymore, you will be offended if you offend him.
who would have thought
So chilling!
The north wind blew loudly, making his heart shrink and feel sour.
Also at a loss.
The boss drives them away, where should they go? Living under the bridge?
Ah.
But it was the third child who took them home.
The house was very shabby and dark, not as spacious and bright as his old man's house, but his heart felt as if it had been soaked in a ball of warm water, warm and soft.
There will be no chance tomorrow.
Song Shi started sharpening his knife in the yard.
Song Dashi glanced at him, went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water, washed his face and feet, and then went to sleep.
Li Xiu'er is someone who can't take a break.
When she was at her eldest son's house, she was as busy as a spinning top. Now that her younger son has picked her up and sent her to live with someone else, she has to work even harder.
She washed the dishes.
Cleaned up the kitchen.
He boiled another large pot of boiling water and poured it into the water bottle.
He also held his little granddaughter who was just half a year old for a while.
Then I thumped my waist and went back to the room to lie down. Looking at my wife who was already snoring on the bed, she was very angry.
"This old man is very arrogant. If he makes the third child dissatisfied again, let's see who else will take us in!"
She cursed a few times.
I had experienced a lot this day and was mentally exhausted. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a dark and sweet dream.
midnight.
There was a sound of pigs grunting in the yard.
Song Dashi turned on the light and looked at his watch. It read five o'clock in the morning.
He quickly put on his sweater and jacket.
When I walked out of the main room, I happened to see my youngest son grabbing the pig's ears and driving it into a corner. It was still dark, the lights were dim, and the pig was struggling violently. His son was only wearing a thin sweater.
Eyes sore.
Busy over and help.
Although Song Dashi is almost seventy, he has been a farmer all his life and still has a lot of strength. At least he can make his eldest and second sisters much better.
Song Shi said nothing.
The father and son put away the pig.
Huang Simei is also in the kitchen cooking the braised vegetables to be sold today.
After Song Dongmei and Song Chunyu washed up, they naturally picked up the money on the table and went to the street bun shop to buy breakfast.
Li Xiuer looked depressed, unable to speak.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Song Shi and Huang Simei drove to a neighboring town.
"You can cook your own meals for lunch. There is meat in the freezer. You can pick whatever vegetables you want from the fields. Yaomei's milk powder is in the cabinet."
After explaining, the two left.
Li Xiuer held her little granddaughter in her arms and watched the car drive away. The early morning sunlight shone on the trees. She squinted her eyes, turned and walked towards the house.
"Old man! Old man!"
Come and take care of the children quickly.
I have a lot of clothes to wash at home.
I have to say that since the two elders moved here, the family has really changed.
First, someone helps take care of the child.
Someone has cooked the meal.
The clothes have been washed.
Someone has tidied up the house.
Someone helped move the pork.
Cleaning pig intestines is more than twice as fast.
Huang Simei sighed.
Originally, she was unhappy with the man taking over his parents-in-law without consulting her, but now it seems that she feels pretty good.
Ever since the eldest sister and the second sister started school, every pig killing was done by a man alone. During the season change, Yaomei caught a cold again. She cried day and night and had recurring fevers, which made her, a mother, unable to keep her eyes open. I can fall asleep, but I can't, which makes me angry.
When the man brought his parents-in-law, her first reaction was that her life was over.
Thinking of the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was all over the place and couldn't be reconciled, all the hairs on her body stood up.
However, the days are not over.
Even easier than before.
Song Shi also had his own thoughts on this.
As he often said, the old couple of the Song family had helped the Song Rong family for twenty years, so it was only fair that they had to help his family for twenty years.
There is no reason to sit with your legs crossed and do nothing when you are busy at Brother Yuanzha's house.
You have to do what you have to do.
Want to enjoy happiness
Okay, after twenty years of fair service in the second brother's house, none of the three of us brothers are allowed to gossip, and we will be filial to you together.
Just wait patiently!
Anyway, he used words to irritate the soft-hearted Li Xiuer from time to time.
Li Xiuer had an eldest son in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend her younger son. Besides, if the old man knew that she was a demon, he would deal with her first.
She is old.
How many more years to live.
The most important thing is to take care of your own health in old age, and your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
When Song Rong and Zhou Lan secretly came over to ask the two elders for something again, they could only get a more indifferent attitude from the mother and the old man. Even if they threatened to make the two sons disown their grandparents, their attitudes remained unchanged.
My heart became even colder.
Years ago, Song Shi and Huang Simei went to the city. They came back a few days later. After the New Year, they packed up and started preparing to move.
In the past six months, they have been selling pork and stewed vegetables non-stop. The two of them have saved a lot of money. In addition, houses in the city are not expensive at this time. Thinking that there will be more opportunities in the city, they chose a first-floor apartment.
That place is close to the vegetable market.
In Song Dynasty, he rented a fixed stall and sold pork and braised pork.
The eldest sister and the second sister also transferred here.
On weekdays, the whole family guards the stall. Only one person is left to guard the stall until almost noon. The others go back to rest and prepare tomorrow's stewed vegetables.
The days were lived so smoothly and full of hope.
