When Zhang Shuilian pointed at her nose and scolded her like this, the evil fire that had just risen was extinguished as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on her.
Zhang Shuilian said: "Be honest with me and sit back. I have to talk to you about serious things!"
Daqiu had no choice but to sit back angrily.
Zhang Shuilian glanced outside the room and said in a low voice: "When are you going to ask your brother Dazhi to come over and talk about it?"
Daqiu was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about?"
"My mother is thinking about Dazhi. Let us come here to take a look at Dazhi. We have seen it now. Dazhi is doing well and studying, just like a young master. I will tell my mother when I go back this time that she will be relieved. !”
Zhang Shuilian gave Da Qiu a blank stare.
"You idiot, your mother asked you to come and take a look, so you really brought your eyes to take a look? Then you just come back without doing anything after taking a look? You are really worthless!" she said.
"Then what should I look at?" Daqiu asked again.
Zhang Shuilian wanted to break the big ball's head with her hands. At this moment, there were gentle knocks on the door.
Then Dazhi's voice came: "Brother, sister-in-law, have you rested?"
"It's Dazhi, my brother, my brother is here to see me!" Daqiu suddenly became excited, hurriedly got out from Zhang Shuilian's clutches, and went to open the door with his feet on his back.
Zhang Shuilian also quickly stood up, pulling on her clothes, raising her hands to tuck her hair a few times, and quickly followed Daqiu to the door of the house.
Da Qiu opened the door, and Da Zhi stood at the door, holding a plate with chicken cakes on it.
"Brother, didn't you take a nap at noon? Why did you have time to come to my place?" Da Qiu asked.
Da'an raised the tray in his hand: "My mother made chicken cakes. They are fresh food. She sent me to bring some for my eldest brother and sister-in-law to try."
Upon hearing this, Daqiu's eyes fell on the egg cake held by Dazhi.
Looking at it, I started drooling again.
"Come on, come on, brother, sit in the room." Da Qiu took the cake and pulled Da Zhi into the room.
Zhang Shuilian also greeted him warmly, "Come, brother-in-law, have a seat and have tea."
The three of them sat down. Daqiu grabbed a piece of chicken cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He paused as soon as he put it to his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat first?" He brought the chicken cake to Zhang Shuilian's mouth.
In front of Dazhi, Zhang Shuilian smiled sheepishly.
"I won't eat when I'm full. You can eat it yourself, big ball." Zhang Shuilian said.
Big Ball nodded, then happily stuffed the egg cake into his mouth and ate it.
Here, Zhang Shuilian looked at Daqiu eating, sighed softly, and said to Dazhi: "Hey, seeing your brother like this, I am happy for him, sad for him, relieved and distressed at the same time. ah!"
Dazhi turned his gaze from Da Qiu to Zhang Shuilian. The meaning in his eyes seemed to be waiting for Zhang Shuilian's next words.
Zhang Shuilian continued: "Since the first day I entered the house, I have heard my mother talking about you, my ambitious uncle, from time to time."
"Especially during the holidays, families squeeze a little money out of their teeth to buy half a catty of pork,"
"Drinking three or four kilograms of leeks and celery, chopping stuffing together to make dumplings, my mother has to say it several times at the dinner table,"
"If Da Zhi is here, it will be complete. Da Zhi has never eaten minced meat once or twice when he was a child. If he can eat dumplings..."
"Hey, look at me, why are you talking about this? Now I see you are living so well here,"
"There is no shortage of food, clothing, and everything. There is fish and meat on the table, and there are also desserts and snacks like this after the meal."
"When your brother and I go back and tell my mother about the situation here, my mother will feel relieved. Even if I continue to eat bran bran vegetables and multi-grain porridge, my mother will still smile."
Zhang Shuilian said, when he got to the emotional point, he even raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Sister-in-law..." Dazhi spoke with difficulty, looking at Zhang Shuilian's red-eyed look, with Zhang Shuilian's words echoing in his ears, Dazhi felt like sitting on pins and needles on the stool.
"Sister-in-law, life at home is... very difficult?" Dazhi asked softly.
Zhang Shuilian wiped her tears and nodded, "You have three brothers and two sisters. Da Qiu is the eldest son and I am the eldest sister-in-law."
"Your eldest brother is eighteen years old this year and has been married to me for two years. Your second brother is fifteen years old. He used to work as a coolie in the town unloading goods."
"Half a year ago, a load of goods crushed my leg and I became lame. Now I am half a disabled person just sitting at home."
"Your third sister is thirteen years old and works as a maid in the house of a family member in the local county town. Your fourth brother and fifth sister are twins, both only eleven years old. In addition to doing some housework and helping to take care of your eldest nephew when he is busy, there is nothing else Nothing can be done.”
"This family relies on your eldest brother and I to work from dawn to dusk making steamed buns to earn some money to support the whole family..."
Over there, after Daqiu ate three chicken cakes in one go, he suddenly interrupted Zhang Shuilian: "Who said that, the third sister works as a maid in the house of a member of the county town, and doesn't she have to bring 500 coins every month? Come back to supplement the family income!"
Zhang Shuilian said dissatisfied: "Can your third sister's monthly five hundred coins be used to buy rice and vegetables?"
"Your third sister's monthly five hundred cents were taken away by your mother before we even saw them when they came back. She said she was going to save up a dowry for your third sister in the future! "
"We, as a couple, can support a big family just by selling steamed buns for a penny, a penny for a penny!"
Da Qiu was speechless by Zhang Shuilian's words.
Because this is indeed the case. The couple earns a living by working from dawn to dusk making steamed buns.
No, to be precise, it was his daughter-in-law Zhang Shuilian who earned it. He himself liked to sleep in, so he wanted to get some wine to drink when he had two coins in his hand.
Big Ball grabbed two chicken cakes and continued to eat, still eating without talking.
Here, Dazhi stood up and said: "Brother and sister-in-law, please sit down for a while. I will leave for a moment and will be back soon."
When Da Zhi left, Zhang Shuilian grabbed an egg cake with his back foot and asked Da Qiu excitedly while eating it:
"Daqiu, what did you think your brother Dazhi did? Could it be that he went to find his adoptive mother to help us?"
"Your brother is the adopted son of the Protector General. Even if you pluck a hair from the Protector General and his wife, it's thicker than our thighs."
The big ball clicked its mouth and was immersed in the pleasure brought by the food, and did not hear Zhang Shuilian's words clearly at all.
But soon there were footsteps again outside.
"It must be your brother Dazhi who is back." Zhang Shuilian said, and quickly got up and came to the door of the house. It was indeed Dazhi.
Zhang Shuilian saw that there was no one behind Dazhi, and she felt disappointed in her heart.
But seeing Dazhi closing the door after entering the house, Zhang Shuilian asked in surprise: "Brother Dazhi, why are you leaving and coming back?"
Dazhi didn't say anything. He came to the table and stood there. He took out a white porcelain piggy-shaped piggy bank from the bottom of his sleeve and placed it on the table.
