But later when he heard what Shichu said to Du Xiaoshi, he knew that he had misunderstood her.
Du Zhou was not someone who pampered his children, nor did he think that only women should do the laundry. What's more, Wan Cao'er (at the beginning of the time) only asked him to wash his own socks, which was almost like playing. , so Du Zhou didn't think it was anything. When he was five years old, his life was much more difficult than Du Xiaoshi's now. At a young age, he had to go to the mountains to collect firewood or cut pig grass, and during busy farming seasons, he had to help harvest rice. These tasks Which is not harder than washing socks?
Du Zhou was a little surprised that Shi Chu's method of educating children seemed to be quite knowledgeable, unlike the cowardly and ignorant Wan Cao'er in his impression...
It's just different. As long as he thinks of her behavior of forcing him to marry her, Du Zhou can't show a good face towards her.
So when she first asked him who she was looking for, he looked at her indifferently and said, "Who will I look for when I go back to my home?"
Shichu suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't recognize you for a moment..." The original owner had met Duzhou several times, but that was the original owner's memory. Although Shichu had her memory, he couldn't remember it for a while. This kind of joke comes from combining real people with memories.
"Xiaoling, Xiaoshi, daddy is back." Du Zhou shouted into the room while carrying large and small bags. His attitude toward the child was much gentler than at the beginning.
When Du Xiaoling and Du Xiaoshi heard what he said, they rushed out of the house excitedly, shouting excitedly as they rushed back: "Dad! Dad, you are finally back..."
Du Zhou watched the two children running toward him with a smile on his face, threw the things in his hands to the ground, then bent down, caught one of the children with one hand, and hugged them up: "Are you good at home? Have you eaten well? Let daddy see if you have lost weight..."
As he spoke, he really weighed them. The two children were so happy that they hugged his neck and shouted: "Dad, we are very good and eat well...Dad, I miss you so much..." "
Du Zhou played with the two children for a while before putting them down. Then he found the luggage he had just put down and took out things while saying, "Dad bought you new clothes, as well as candy and pastries."
"Wow, Dad, I want to eat candy!" Du Xiaoling shouted impatiently.
Du Xiaoshi followed suit and picked up a few bags. Du Zhou quickly took out the candies and pastries and gave them to them.
Du Zhou's return made Du Xiaoshi and Du Xiaoling very happy all day long. The brother and sister pestered him and refused to leave. Du Zhou let them go and played with them patiently for the whole day.
In the evening, Shichu made braised pork as expected. The fat and lean pork belly was stewed until it was soft, glutinous and golden. The aroma was fragrant, making people very appetizing at first sight.
Du Xiaoshi sat down at the dinner table without anyone calling him. He had been thinking about the braised pork all day. He couldn't bear the strong smell of meat. At this time, even his father Duzhou couldn't divert his attention.
Shi Chu quickly prepared the other three dishes and started the meal.
"I can eat two more pieces tonight." Du Xiaoshi did not forget to remind Shi Chu, "My sister can also eat one more piece."
"I remember." Shi Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Because when she bought meat in the morning, she didn't know that Du Zhou would come back, so she didn't buy too much pork to make braised pork. She only counted the portions for one and two small ones, but it was not difficult. At first, she couldn't make more meat, but she could cut it into smaller pieces!
So Shi Chu cut the braised pork into twelve pieces, Du Zhou got two pieces, Shi Chu got three pieces for himself, Du Xiaoling also got three pieces, and Du Xiaoshi got four pieces.
Du Xiaoshi looked at the meat in the family's bowl, touched his head, and felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to ask: "Why does Dad only have two pieces, and Auntie, you have three?"
Shichu replied confidently: "Originally, each person in our family only has two yuan, but Xiaoshi, you washed your little baby today, so I can give you two more yuan, that's four yuan; your sister also only has two yuan." Two yuan, but you are willing to give her one yuan, so she now has three yuan; your aunt and I have done a day of housework today, cooking, sweeping and washing, so I can also reward one yuan more, that is, I have three yuan. ; As for your father, he just came back today and has done nothing, only the two basic pieces. What do you think is wrong with dividing it like this? "
Du Xiaoshi didn't understand what he heard, but when he saw that Shi Chu was speaking eloquently and without any sign of guilt, he took it for granted that she was telling the truth, so he nodded in confusion, pretending to understand. , said: "No problem."
"That's good, we can start eating." Shichu announced.
Du Xiaoling didn't care about the deception at first. She was so happy that she had three pieces in her bowl. She squealed and couldn't wait to bite into it.
As for Duzhou, he had not been prepared for his share in the first place. The reason why he was given two yuan evenly was because he was a member of the family, and he would not care if he had any objections.
Of course Duzhou has no objection. As a man in the family, he cannot compete with his children for meat. If he were not afraid of cultivating their selfish characters, he would even share the meat in his bowl with his two children. .
At the beginning, she had to share the meat piece by piece. Although she was a bit stingy and careless, when he thought about her parents' family who did not treat their daughter as a human being, he felt that it was quite understandable. After all, in such a family, she wanted to If you want to eat a piece of meat, don’t you have to rob or steal it? It's normal to care a little.
However, now that he has married into the Du family, such small-family behavior is not necessary, so he said to Shi Chu: "Forget it this time, we don't have to be so fussy about eating meat in the future. If it's not enough, then Buy more.”
When Shi Chu heard this, he glanced at him and did not explain that he was only distributing two more pieces of braised pork to Du Xiaoshi because he wanted to "reward" Du Xiaoshi. If he didn't have to reward him, then naturally it would not be possible for Shi Chu to divide the meat in an unnecessary way.
For the sake of family harmony, she nodded and said, "Okay, I will buy more in the future."
Since he, a person who makes money, said so, he would naturally not be reluctant to give it up at the beginning.
After a meal, the whole family was full. Du Zhou took his two children to his eldest brother's house for a visit to eat some food. Shichu exercised in the yard for twenty minutes, sweated all over, and went back to take a shower. , without waiting for them to come back, he went to sleep directly.
Because Duzhou was forced to marry the original owner, he was very unhappy with the original owner. Even after getting married, he was unwilling to fulfill his marital obligations. They slept in separate rooms, so it was convenient for Shi Chu.
