Zhao Ergou looked very calm.
But only he himself knows how much he envies Cheng Zhao.
When he comes back wearing new blue clothes, everyone will praise him and he will feel proud.
But the clothes Cheng Zhao was wearing were many times better than the blue shirt given by the county magistrate. When the villagers saw it, they didn't think it was strange at all.
It seems that Cheng Zhao was born to wear such expensive clothes.
"Big brother, second brother, and third brother, it's time to eat!"
Zhao Sidan came out happily to call someone.
When he saw Cheng Zhao was there, he was stuck for a moment, not knowing whether to shout or not.
According to mother's previous temperament, she would definitely bring Cheng Zhao to the dinner table to eat together. He didn't understand what mother was thinking now.
Cheng Wanwan came out and said: "Zhao'er, if you are hungry, just sit down and eat together. But you scholars have a saying that there is no free lunch in the world. A meal costs five cents. If you accept it, then Just eat, if you don’t accept it, you can take care of dinner yourself.”
Cheng Zhao frowned.
There is no free lunch in the world. This sentence does not seem to be in the book, and he has never heard of it.
But what Ergu said makes sense. Every meal in the world needs to be obtained by one's own ability, and one cannot just eat for free.
He nodded: "I am penniless. I will pay it back to my second aunt when I make money in the future."
He followed her into the main room.
Ever since Wu Huiniang started raising the baby, Cheng Wanwan let everyone do their own thing. In the past, Wu Huiniang filled the rice and put it on the table, but now everyone adds rice to the pot.
The four boys lined up to serve the rice and sat at the dining table. Cheng Wanwan also sat down with a bowl in hand.
Cheng Zhao was the only one standing in embarrassment. He was at Cheng's house and his parents wouldn't let him do anything. He didn't even know how to serve food.
Cheng Wanwan said quietly: "The bowls and chopsticks are on the stove. Each person has a bowl of corn porridge and a pancake."
Cheng Zhao nodded and walked into the kitchen.
He was a little in a hurry and sat at the dining table with a bowl of corn rice.
Although the conditions of the Cheng family are average, every time he stays at home for a meal, Mrs. Cheng will prepare the most delicious food for him. Therefore, even when there is a shortage of food everywhere, he will be able to eat a bowl full of corn. Cheng Zhao didn't think there was anything strange about porridge.
Several people at the table were busy eating. After eating, Zhao Dashan went to feed Wu Huiniang and drank the pills with water.
Wu Huiniang's complexion has improved a lot, and her body has recovered a lot. She wanted to work many times, but Cheng Wanwan pushed her back mercilessly.
Cheng Zhao finished his meal and put down his chopsticks. When he was at Cheng's house, someone would collect the dishes and wash them. When he was at the academy, he only had to put the dishes in the designated place. At his second aunt's house, he didn't know what to do.
But he could observe and learn. He followed Zhao Ergou's example and picked up the bowl he had eaten from and walked to the water tank in the yard.
A small wooden basin was filled with water. Zhao Ergou squatted beside the wooden basin and washed the dishes. He didn't want to wash the dishes for Cheng Zhao at all. He said indifferently: "Do your own thing. You have to wash your own dishes." Put it on the stove.”
Cheng Zhao nodded and poured water from a gourd ladle to wash the dishes.
Zhao Ergou frowned: "Although there is no shortage of water, we can't waste it like this. Hey, do you know how to wash the dishes? Forget it, I will do it."
He snatched the bowl back from Cheng Zhao's hand.
Cheng Zhao stood beside him, even more confused about what to do.
Cheng Wanwan has been observing this eldest nephew. In the memory of the original owner, this eldest nephew was well-behaved, sensible and smart. She always felt that the original owner had added a layer of filters, but after getting along for a while, she found that Cheng Zhaohe Those blood-sucking insects in the Cheng family are really different.
She had an idea in her mind, but it wasn't the right time to say it out loud yet.
She said: "Si Dan, go and call Tie Zhu over."
Zhao Sanniu's face suddenly fell as he was chopping firewood. The daily study time was about to come again. This was the most difficult moment of his day.
Zhao Ergou was also a little nervous. He had been away from home for five days and might not be able to keep up with his study progress, but it didn't matter. When the study was over, he would learn more from Si Dan, who should be the fastest learner.
Zhao Sidan happily went to find Zhao Tiezhu.
He loves to learn because he learns faster than his brothers. After learning, he can teach his brothers in turn. This sense of accomplishment makes him very happy.
When arriving at Li Zheng's house, they had to pass by Old Zhao's house. Zhao Si Dan was stopped by Mrs. Zhao.
When the Cheng family came over during the day, the old lady asked Zhao Erwang to come over and watch the fun. She only knew that the old lady of the Cheng family had been kicked out. Later she heard that the eldest nephew of the Cheng family had come over. What was going on with these dramas? , the old lady couldn’t understand.
Zhao Sidan kept asking questions and said, "If grandma wants to know, ask my mother, I have something else to do."
He ran away in a flash.
Mrs. Zhao was furious. If she dared to ask her eldest daughter-in-law, would she catch Sidan and ask?
Before the family was separated, the eldest daughter-in-law secretly subsidized her mother's family. When she found out, she would question the eldest daughter-in-law. It turned out that this mother-in-law was more righteous than her. As a mother-in-law, she couldn't stand up to this daughter-in-law, and later she was too lazy to break up with her. Pulled.
It's great that we had a falling out with the Cheng family, and life was going smoothly. The Cheng family took the initiative to show their kindness this time, but the eldest daughter-in-law relented and started subsidizing the Cheng family again. What should we do?
Mrs. Zhao was almost worried to death.
Old Man Zhao smoked a dry cigarette and said: "We can't control the past things, and we can't control the future things. There's nothing to worry about when we can't control things. There's no need to find things to worry about."
Mrs. Zhao has some internal injuries.
Yes, she couldn't control the eldest daughter-in-law before, but now that the eldest daughter-in-law has become more capable, she is afraid she will be even more unable to control her.
Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. She is too old to care about so many things.
Not long after, Zhao Sidan took Zhao Tiezhu home quickly.
The sun had just set at this moment, and there was still the afterglow in the village. Hot water was being heated in the backyard, and the house was illuminated by the fire, making it very bright.
Zhao Tiezhu liked this feeling very much. He taught what he had learned to others, and it seemed as if his whole person had been sublimated. His face flushed against the firelight, and he shook his head and said: "What I want to teach today is "If you don't teach, your nature will change."
"If you don't teach, your nature will change."
Everyone reads it together.
Zhao Sidan gave full play to his spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand: "Brother Tiezhu, what does this sentence mean?"
Zhao Tiezhu scratched his ears and cheeks, coughed and said: "If a dog doesn't bark, it means it's not good. It means that if a dog doesn't watch over the house and care for the yard, it will be thrown out by its owner... …”
The dog outside the house barked several times in cooperation.
Dahei: "Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei: "Woooooo!"
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
It’s really misleading, it’s misleading.
She glanced at Cheng Zhao.
Cheng Zhao stood at the door of the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, admiring the setting sun and sunset over the village. When he heard Zhao Tiezhu's words, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
For the first time, he knew that this sentence could still be understood in this way.
He is a rigid student who has been studying for many years. He cannot ignore such a ridiculous explanation.
He stepped up and walked in.
