"I just want to go out to play, but I don't know if I come back to help with the work." Cheng Mingyue muttered, not loudly nor softly, so that everyone at the table could hear it.
Cheng Yuanxi lowered his eyes and said nothing, feeling even more displeased with his eldest niece.
Chen Daya picked up some food for her daughter, "Eat more. My dear daughter and brother have been tired for the past two days. Eat well and have a good sleep. Don't go out today."
"Mom, my brother and I are not tired." Mingyi said hurriedly.
Cheng Mingli nodded in agreement, "Mother, we are not tired."
"You can't run around anymore if you're not tired. You two little kids can rest assured if you don't have anyone to follow you." Chen Daya just didn't want Cheng Mingyue to continue making sarcastic remarks. She didn't eat less of the meat her children had brought back. What's the matter? Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse?
Don't know what is good and what is bad!
Cheng Yuanxi persuaded with a smile: "If the two skinny monkeys want to go, let them go. It's more annoying to pester us when they have nothing to eat at home; let them go out for fun, as long as they don't go far, it will be fine. I know they usually go there." Somewhere."
Only then did Chen Daya not forcefully keep them at home.
Mingyi and Mingli ate in a hurry and told their families to run away.
There is a picky Cheng Mingyue in the family. What if my mother's sensitive words are aroused and she is not allowed to go out?
Chen Daya watched the two children running so fast and said to Cheng Yuanxi angrily: "Look at what you are used to, running away after eating; at least take a rest at home! The sun is so bright outside, during this time The tan is enough; if I continue to tan like this, will my family, Gai Yiyi, be able to grow her skin back?"
How can a girl get married easily if she doesn’t have good skin?
"We are still escaping from famine. When we settle down, we will take Yiyi home to learn needlework and needlework, and we will slowly be able to raise her back."
"I hope so." Chen Daya still didn't give her husband a good look.
In fact, the two children have been too wild during this period, and they often run out. The husband at home is conniving, and although he often brings meat back to her to eat, she would rather you don't eat meat, and doesn't want the children to be in danger outside.
After the meal, Cheng Dazhu didn't say anything about the two children running out; Luo Cuihua talked to Chen Daya in private, "Yiyi is a girl, don't let her be too wild."
"Mom, my wife knows, but my husband won't let me take care of it." Chen Daya felt aggrieved.
Luo Cuihua's breath was stuck in her heart, she patted her chest and said, "I'll tell him personally."
"Thank you, mother." Chen Daya accepted the offer and quickly turned back to work.
It was one thing to want to keep the children at home, but it was another thing to disagree with her husband about keeping the children at home. She was not stupid.
Luo Cuihua stared at her back speechlessly for a long time, and said to herself: The third daughter-in-law is the right wife, she is very smart.
"Third brother, come here for me."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Cheng Yuanxi walked over with confusion on his face, "I see you are so angry and your face is pale. If you have anything to do, just tell me and my sons will take care of it for you."
Her son's kind words made Luo Cuihua feel better. She just snorted, "What can happen to me? Your wife listens to you and you don't let her take care of the child?"
Cheng Yuanxi looked at his wife without leaving a trace, and saw Chen Daya winking at him. He immediately understood and said with a smile.
"You are talking about this! The mother is just taking care of the children at home and letting them go out for a run. We don't know what the future will be like. If they are in good health, they can find some food for the family. , how great!”
"If they are at home, they can't pester you and dad, right?"
Luo Cuihua's head was so angry that she became sober after a while, but her son got in the way again.
"You're right. Having too many children makes them very noisy."
"So, don't worry, they are sensible; our children have been running around in the mountains since they were young, so they are used to it." Cheng Yuanxi held her old man's hand and led her to Cheng Dazhu without leaving a trace. "You and dad are doing well, let the children respect you."
When he arrived in front of Cheng Dazhu, Cheng Yuanxi helped him sit down next to him, "Dad, please look at my mother. I think my mother's face is not very good; I have to find food, and I can't wait in front of my mother."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Cheng Dazhu responded with a smile.
Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly ran away and pulled his wife out before leaving.
Cheng Dazhu was so amused that he turned around to look at his old wife's dazed eyes, shook his head and laughed, "The third child in our family is really filial, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"That's right, which of my sons is unfilial?" Luo Cuihua felt proud, "I'm not saying that there is no one in the village who is more filial than our children."
"Yes, yes, they are so filial. You should take good care of yourself and don't interfere with your sons' family affairs. They are all adults, the youngest is twenty-eight years old, and he knows how to educate his children. "
Luo Cuihua tasted the taste, and her expression changed when she stared at him, "Hey, what do you mean, old man? I told them to be more restrained and you said it wrong?"
"We are no longer in our hometown, we are fleeing from famine. How can we be so particular on the road to escape? As long as innocence is not a big matter, everything else is trivial. When we settle down, Yiyi will have grown up, and it will not be too late to be particular about it by then. "
Cheng Dazhu looked confident, Luo Cuihua couldn't say anything else, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Seeing her silence, Cheng Dazhu continued: "I think Yiyi is in good spirits now. There is nothing wrong with her. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Luo Cuihua raised her slightly drooped eyelids and glanced at the people working by the pond; as well as the people picking wild vegetables not far away. Their energy and spirit were not very good, and their expressions were dull due to hunger and malnutrition. Sluggish and stooped.
Thinking about the spirit of their family and the liveliness of their grandson and granddaughter, I suddenly understood the meaning of my wife's words.
Reputation is not as important as life!
"I understand, and I won't say such things to my two granddaughters again; however, I still have to worry about their reputations. I'm not worried about Yueyue. This kid Yiyi is getting more and more wild now." The bottom line of concern will be lower. .
Reputation is not as important as life, but life is not as important as reputation. It is just a matter of cognition under different circumstances.
If you are well fed, clothed and warm, and do not have to run away from famine, your reputation is naturally more important than your life; now! Forced by reality, they are fleeing, so life is more important than reputation. Only by surviving can they talk about reputation.
Cheng Dazhu didn't seem to hear anything and just said: "Yiyi is a child with ideas, don't worry about her."
"How can that be done? If the reputation of our Cheng family girl is lost, the children and grandchildren of the entire Cheng family will be affected." Luo Cuihua frowned and was a little dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude, "What do people live for? Reputation. , face, and success.”
