Cheng Wanwan stopped watching the excitement.
There are a lot of things waiting for her to do at home. More than 20 kilograms of roe deer need to be packed and stewed in a pot. After the meat is cooked in the brine for an hour, the water will evaporate and reduce some weight, but it is not a problem. All the things added up are still That's quite a lot, that's enough.
The remaining three or four kilograms were used as a meal for the children.
The earthy smell of roe deer was very strong, and a lot of ginger and cooking wine had to be added to remove it. After she had processed the ingredients in the kitchen, she called Wu Huiniang to the kitchen to make braised roe deer meat. Of course she could make it herself, but The taste is not half as good as that of the eldest daughter-in-law, so it is better to let the eldest daughter-in-law cook.
She is worried now. When the eldest daughter-in-law gives birth to a baby and is in confinement, who will be the cook in their family?
"Dashan Niang, why did you come back without paying attention?" Aunt Wang ran to her yard, pulled her and started gossiping, "I used to think that the Xu family was very good, but now I know that the Xu family is not What a good thing! The three children lost their father and their mother was taken away. Logically speaking, the clan should take more care of them. But guess what happened? The six or seven families fought for the 20 dollars left by Widow Zhang. There was a fight over the multi-acre land... Good guy, dozens of people were fighting in groups. Fortunately, we have a patrol team in the village, so we controlled the situation."
Cheng Wanwan said while picking vegetables: "To tell the important point, whose house did the three children go to in the end?"
"The closest thing to Widow Zhang and her family is Aunt Xu. Logically speaking, they would go to Aunt Xu's house, but the three children refused." Aunt Wang said quickly, "Uncle Li Zheng asked Dashu The kid made his own choice, and guess who he chose in the end, someone you would never expect!"
Zhao Dashan walked in from the door and followed the words: "I chose Granny Zhu."
"You kid, why did you say it so quickly? Why don't you let your mother guess more?" Aunt Wang glared at Zhao Dashan angrily, pulled Cheng Wanwan and continued, "Good guy, you didn't see it?" The faces of the people in the Xu family range from red to yellow to green to purple to black. The Xu family must not be willing to do so. These three children are named Xu. How can they go to Lao Zhu's house? They were at each other's throats just now. The group of more than 20 people immediately united and scolded Uncle Li Zheng for meddling in other people's business."
"Uncle Li Zheng is not a vegetarian. This Dahe Village was the territory of the Zhao family back then. If the ancestors of the Zhao family had not let go, there would be no place for their surname Xu in Dahe Village! Li Zheng said, if we don't follow the village's rules If you behave according to the rules, then the Xu family will get out of Dahe Village!"
Cheng Wanwan laughed.
Li Zheng is usually a peacemaker, but he didn't expect to be quite courageous in such a big matter.
Xu Dashu is also a smart boy. If he chooses the Xu family, it will be too easy for the Xu family to swallow up more than 20 acres of land in the future.
Mrs. Zhu is seventy years old. She only has one old man and one child at home. Even if she has selfish motives, she has no ability to live alone with her grandson. Living together with the Zhu family is currently the best option.
This matter became a must-have for the whole village to talk about after dinner. During the meal, several children in the family were also discussing it.
Shen Zheng sneered: "My jaw is really shocked that a widow can get pregnant. The world is getting worse. The world is getting worse."
Wu Huiniang sighed: "It's not easy for a widow to raise three children. I made such a fuss just to take advantage of it. I don't know what to do with the three children in the future."
Zhao Sidan asked seriously: "Mom, what will Old Mrs. Zhang do if she takes Widow Zhang back?"
Cheng Wanwan said frankly: "Zhang is less than thirty, and her appearance is very outstanding. If she lives in her natal family, the Zhang family will never think about raising their heads for the rest of their lives. How can their nieces get married, so I guess that Mrs. Zhang should Instead of taking Ms. Zhang back to the Zhang family, she went directly to the town... remove the one in her stomach first, and then find a matchmaker. After she gets married, she will have nothing to do with the Xu family and the Zhang family."
No matter how upright Zhang looks, she is still a married woman. To be able to accept the man who marries her so easily is because she is either physically disabled or has a personality problem, or she is extremely old and her family is very poor... In short, it is impossible. It's a good family.
The children in the family must have thought of this, and all of them fell silent.
They hate Mrs. Zhang, but when they think of Mrs. Zhang's situation, they can't help but feel a little sympathy.
This is a child, always so pure and kind.
Cheng Wanwan patted her head and said, "Since we are talking about the Zhang family, let's talk about it. What did you learn from this incident?"
Zhao Dashan scratched the back of his head: "To get a wife, you still have to marry Huiniang."
Wu Huiniang blushed and said nothing.
Zhao Ergou said: "When marrying a virtuous wife, you must understand the other person's character well enough before you can take her home."
Zhao Sanniu giggled: "The three children of the Xu family have followed Granny Zhu. The Zhu family doesn't have a single prime-age laborer. I can help plow the fields in the future. I can help plow an acre for three cents."
Zhao Sidan held up his chin and said: "Widow Zhang is forced to be separated from her three sons because she made a mistake. I feel so pitiful for her... If I am forced to separate from my mother, I will never be able to do anything in my life." Happy."
"You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Ergou slapped him on the back of the head, "Our mother would never make such a mistake!"
Shen Zheng crossed his legs and said: "After all, Zhao Fugui still has no conscience, is irresponsible when he gets into trouble, and hides at home and pretends to be a coward."
Cheng Wanwan spoke at the right time: "Xiao Zheng is right. Although Mrs. Zhang is wrong in this matter, Zhao Fugui is also wrong. As a man, he is not only sorry for his wife and children at home, but also sorry for Mrs. Zhang and those three children." , as long as he has a little bit of responsibility, things will not get to this point. So, you all listen up, mother does not require you to have any great achievements, but you must be responsible, no matter it is big or small, you should bear it yourself If you have the courage to bear it, I know responsibility is sometimes a burden, but those who shirk responsibility are cowards to me and are out-and-out trash."
Zhao Dashan: “Mom, I don’t want to be a waste!”
Zhao Ergou: "Mom, I will definitely shoulder my own responsibilities!"
Zhao Sanniu: "Mom, if there is a coward in the family, I will beat him to death."
Zhao Sidan: "Mom, my responsibility is to be filial to you and provide for you until you die. I will never shirk my responsibility!"
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She is only thirty-three years old, and now she is talking about retiring to her old age. How come it feels like she is looking forward to her early death.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Zhao couldn't help but sigh. The words the second aunt said were very ordinary. Although there were no quotations from scriptures, the sentences were shocking and thought-provoking. No wonder the four cousins were completely different from the other cousins in his family.
He said: "Second Aunt, I will work hard to become a person who is upright and upright."
Shen Zheng was a little envious.
His father usually scolds him and tries to reason with him from above. He knows that what his father says is right, but he just doesn't want to hear it.
If his father educates him as gently as Aunt Zhao, he will definitely be obedient.
The reason why he is not as good as Cheng Zhao is because he lacks such a gentle second aunt.
He coughed and said, "I will try to become a responsible person and help my father share his worries when I grow up."
Zhao Sidan stuck out his tongue: "You are already sixteen and you haven't grown up yet?"
Shen Zheng raised his hand: "You kid, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute..."
"Hey, young master, calm down!" Ah Fu came over, "My responsibility is to serve the young master, eat, drink, and make sure he doesn't have any worries. When the young master becomes an official, remember to marry me a virtuous wife. Hey hey hey.”
Shen Zheng twitched the corners of his lips: "You are two years younger than me, how do you want a wife at such a young age?"
Ah Fu scratched his hair and said, "I see Brother Zhao and Sister Zhao making out every day. Isn't that what I'm thinking about?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhao Dashan and Wu Huiniang's faces turned red.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help laughing.
All the children in the room laughed.
