Good Dad System

The house of Pei's family has been repaired several times over the years. First, when Pei Naochun's father was alive, it was rebuilt once. The original half-timber structure was completely demolished and replaced with bricks and cement materials that were fashionable at that time. , After that, before Pei Naochun got married, the house was renovated again. Although the homestead was not big, the whole house was one of the best in the village, which was enviable.

It is precisely for this reason that Wu Guizhi has always been very concerned about the hygiene of the home. If it is in summer, it needs to be re-cleaned almost every day, but it is cold in winter, which slows down the frequency of cleaning a little.

Pei Xiaoping looked forward timidly and looked at her mother hesitantly. In fact, she and her father were really unfamiliar. Since she was born, she has been living in the village with her grandparents. Although her father used to come back often, every time At home, it is impossible to put all your thoughts on her daughter. She can talk to her father like this when she is in the sky, especially this year, when her father quit his job and went out to work. For the past six months, for her , Father is just a vague title, familiar and unfamiliar.

"Dad called you, what are you doing!" Tang Zhaodi was a little anxious when she saw her daughter's awkwardness. When her husband came home, he didn't look at his son, but at his daughter. She was not very happy, but still It's acceptable, but since the husband called for the daughter, the daughter should go there generously. What is it like to be so petty? She gently pushed her daughter and pushed her forward.

"Dad, I'm here." She looked at her father and didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She retreated to fear that her mother would be angry, but when she moved forward, she felt a little flustered. She moved quickly to her father. I don't know what to say.

"Dad brought you a gift." Pei Naochun squatted down, his eyes were level with his daughter's, he pulled behind him and was digging something out of his bag when he heard Wu Guizhi speak.

"Naochun, what are you doing with this money?" Wu Guizhi put his hands on his hips, "You are going to work now, and your life is not easy. If you have money, you should save it yourself. Where does Xiaoping need to buy? Eat and drink, don't worry about it."

She boasted that she was still a son and daughter-in-law, but she still didn't know how to run a family.

"Mom, these are cheap in S city. There is a wholesale market over there. The boss is cheaper than our city. I bought something for you all." Pei Naochun returned immediately. , it’s the same everywhere, as long as you buy something, you have to learn the art of using language, plus the processing of art, if you buy it for ten yuan, you have to say that you have a 30% discount. The gift of the head, anyway, must be based on the psychological bottom line of the elders, until everyone agrees.

"I'm an old bone, what do you want? If you want money, why don't you buy something for Zihao? The jar of milk powder is almost finished, he likes it!" Wu Guizhi was busy responding, but his eyes couldn't help but glance Come.

Pei Naochun suddenly understood his mother's intentions. He magically took out things from his bag and distributed them. He brought clothes for his mother and wife. This is not a lie. The clothes in S City There are many factories, and every ten days and a half months, you can pick up leaks at the door of the factory, and you can buy defective ones at a discounted price. He wanted to buy the two now fashionable trench coats, but it was really cold at home. After much deliberation, he still bought a simple thickened cotton jacket with a simple inner suit inside.

"How much does this cost!" Wu Guizhi touched the fabric with her hand, feeling very beautiful in her heart.

"Not much." Pei Naochun pointed, "These pieces of clothes were made by mistake and sold at a discount. Don't worry, Mom, it's really not expensive." After speaking, he continued to dig into his bag. What I brought for Pei Zihao was still a whole can of milk powder. It seemed to be more advanced, with foreign characters written on it. There are already many "water tourists" in S City these days. take these.

"It's just that Zihao has to replenish his body. We Zihao have lost weight during this time." Tang Zhaodi hurriedly took it and smiled so beautifully that she put her clothes aside, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly patted Wu Guizhi , "Mom, look, this is still a foreign product!" She doesn't know much, but foreign products are popular now. She read some of them when she was still in the factory, and recognized that these words should be foreign words.

Wu Guizhi squinted and looked at it for a while, but didn't recognize it: "I don't understand this, but it's fine to be nice to Zihao, but don't make our Zihao hungry and thin." She stretched out her hand and teased her daughter-in-law holding her in her arms. Pei Zihao, who was in the middle of the family, almost didn't take it over and said something dear. In fact, in this family, the most white and fat one was lying in his mother's arms, with his fists clenched, and half-asleep Pei Zihao.

"Xiaoping, this is what Dad brought for you." Pei Naochun walked around and finally took out the specially prepared gift. At the bottom of the bag was a brown teddy bear with a princess on top. The skirt, with a small crown, is very cute, but it has been pressed down for a long time, and it looks a little flat, and it is slightly pinch, patted, and fluffy again.

"This is for me?" Pei Xiaoping took a step forward, took the teddy bear, and held it in her arms, she could feel its soft and warm touch, "Thank you, Dad." She was a little flattered, and her face couldn't bear it. Living on the bear, rubbing and rubbing, sticking to the bear was reluctant to leave.

"Of course it's for you." Pei Naochun patted her daughter's head gently, "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" Pei Xiaoping answered very quickly. It was obviously just a bear, but it seemed to bring her and her father closer. After stripping away the strangeness, the memories of getting along that were few in the past gradually emerged. Ask her to vaguely recall the scene of talking to her father in the past.

This sound of liking, which was not a small one, immediately attracted Pei Zihao's attention. Perhaps it was because the pink princess dress on the bear doll was bright in color, or the child was born with a longing for teddy bears. He suddenly stretched out his fist and wanted to Going down, if it wasn't for Tang Zhaodi's hold, she almost fell down, and Wu Guizhi's face turned pale with fright.

"My little ancestor, don't scare us, what's going on." Tang Zhaodi was terrified and hugged him.

Pei Zihao was not comforted. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from Xiong, his eyes had already fallen. The first thing a child of this age felt was that tears were his weapon. As long as he cried, he would be hugged and coaxed. , As long as you cry, you can have milk to drink... In short, no matter what, let's cry first, the sharp child's cry is getting louder and louder, filling the whole house, only that hand keeps reaching down write.

"Zihao wants a bear, right?" Wu Guizhi panicked and anxious. When the child cried, it was very scary. He could cry at any time, his face turned red, he couldn't breathe, and there were all those who were hurt by crying. After locking on the target, she stretched out her hand a little harder, and then lifted up the bear that Pei Xiaoping was holding. She held up her hands and swayed in front of Pei Zihao, "Do you like this?"

Seeing the thing he liked appeared in front of him, Pei Zihao also held back his tears. Following his grandma's movements, he gradually revealed a smile, giggled, and said some mysterious words that normal people couldn't understand. Grab a grab, want enough bear.

"Smiled." Tang Zhaodi also breathed a sigh of relief, "We Zihao know what good things are at such a young age, and I like the bears that my father bought the most, right?" She did not forget to mention her husband in front of her son. name.

The sudden change caused Pei Naochun to be stunned for a moment, and then watched the bear rise into the air and appeared in front of his son. Pei Xiaoping stood there obediently, holding the bear hugging posture for a while, and then let go. He opened it, put it behind him, and lowered his head again.

"Mom, Zhao Di, this is a gift for Xiaoping, there is no reason to give it to Zihao." Pei Naochun still smiled.

Wu Guizhi had a grandson and forgot her son, so she immediately rolled her eyes at his son: "I don't have anything for you and me! It's all my sister's and brother's, what's the difference between you and me, besides, Zihao is crying like this, let him Haven't played yet? Wait until he falls asleep."

"Yeah, Naochun, look, Zihao likes bears so much." Tang Zhaodi's words went a step further than her mother-in-law's. She thought very simply. Since her son likes it, she can give it to her son. Is it assigned at home? My daughter is so old, she doesn't need to play with any dolls.

"That's not the truth." Pei Naochun frowned, he could understand, adults always want to let the big and the small in his heart, but he doesn't think it's all wrong, after all, how can you keep reasoning with a little baby ? The older children are relatively sensible, but they can understand the truth, but this does not mean that the older one needs to sacrifice unconditionally. Nothing can get rid of each other, obviously the children are still young, how can he see that this is the prototype of unconditional giving?

Furthermore, this does not simply include differences in size.

"What's not the truth." Tang Guizhi felt that his son was unreasonable, "Xiaoping, tell grandma, is this bear playing with your brother, won't you get angry? You are so old, you don't need to play with the bear."

She has always loved to talk about these things, and she takes it for granted. Pei Zihao is not only the youngest of the family, but also the golden grandson of the Pei family. He needs someone to take care of him and enjoy more of the good things. She can make sense of it wherever she goes!

"I..." Pei Xiaoping looked at the bear eagerly. She knew clearly how much she liked this doll. It was a gift from her father. Before that, the only toy she had was grandma's rag head. The sandbags she sewed, but since her mother became pregnant with her little brother, the truth she and grandma said together came to mind at the same time.

"I also want to play for my brother." She replied hesitantly, lowered her head, thinking that it should be played for her brother. He is young and will be the family's support in the future, so he should be more close to his brother in everything.

"Look, Xiaoping himself said the same." Wu Guizhi returned from victory, with a particularly high air, and continued to shake and play with idols, coaxing his grandson, looking at his squinted smile, not to mention how beautiful he was, grandson's The birth also relieved her the pain of her husband's death. After having a grandson, she can be considered to have lived up to the ancestors of the Pei family. After urging her daughter-in-law to stay with the old Pei family, she has no regrets.

"Xiaoping, you rely on your father." Pei Naochun greeted his daughter, and he always kept her eye level, regardless of whether she looked at him or not: "My brother is too young, and my father can't reason with him. He shouldn't understand, right? My brother only knows how to cry."

"No, my brother doesn't like to cry." Pei Xiaoping replied in a low voice, she was the one who took care of her brother the longest in the family.

"Okay, my brother doesn't like to cry, but he must not understand what Dad said, right?"

"Well." That's true. In the past, when her brother cried, she tried to reason with her brother, but she couldn't coax anyone.

Pei Naochun said again: "So let's lend the little bear to my younger brother for a while, so that my younger brother will stop crying, and then Dad will bring it back to you, or buy another one for you? If you are reluctant, then Dad will first Bring it back for you."

He is extraordinarily serious. In fact, this is an extremely important step. Many adults often feel that as the head of the family, they take things as soon as they are taken, not to mention their own younger brothers. What is it if they are given to outsiders? Besides, no matter what is taken from the child, in the final analysis, isn't it still the adult who paid for it? If it’s a big deal, just buy another one. Once you have such a mentality, it is easy to cause harm to your child. For children, owning is a state in itself. They mostly place more or less on dolls or things around them. There are even quite a few of their feelings. Those who regard things like their own dolls as playmates and treasures will suffer great harm from them.

Regardless of whether the daughter really treats this teddy bear as a treasure, informing and requesting are an important first step.

"It's alright, Dad." Pei Xiaoping always spoke in a low voice. She smiled, revealing a beautiful dimple, "Just play with my brother. I'm an older child, so I don't need this."

"Our Xiaoping is really good." Pei Naochun patted his daughter's head with a smile and made a promise, "Then Dad and you promise that Dad will help you get it back, or buy a new one, okay? "He held out his hand, firm.

"No need, just give it to my brother." Pei Xiaoping wanted to push back again, but couldn't convince her father. She obediently stretched out her hand, clasped her fingers with her father, and made a promise together.

The thumbs, one big and one small, collided, and Pei Naochun said with a smile: "Stamping." The eyes that looked at her daughter were all gentle rays of light.

It's one thing for a son to be young and ignorant, but adults are already sensible. Even though a daughter is happy to "share", this sharing should be rewarded with love, not taken for granted.

Pei Naochun hesitantly looked at his wife and mother who were still coaxing Pei Zihao, and hesitantly had an idea in his heart.

…

Peijia Village in Heping Township, as the name suggests, more than half of the people in the entire village are surnamed Pei. According to research, this also has historical origins. I heard that there was a family with the surname Pei. Later, he settled here, and continued to grow and develop. He also built an ancestral hall and wrote a genealogy.

In the spring breeze of reform and opening up, in the early 1990s, there were already many people in the village who went out to work in order to improve the quality of life. This also affected the customs of the family to some extent. In the past, many people went there to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Move around the Spring Festival, otherwise how can so many people gather together?

The original father passed away less than a year ago, so this year, the Pei family's year is a little more "shabby" than in previous years. I didn't spend too much money, just a simple arrangement. The family got together to eat something, but they themselves There are three years of attention to this. Years ago, I had to sweep the tomb and prepare at least a dozen bowls of offerings, so the food was quite rich.

Although the government has issued a document advocating cremation, the location in the mountains requires the villagers to turn a deaf ear, pretend they don’t know, and continue to bury people in the back mountain. The tomb of the original father is also in the back mountain.

The more people go up the mountain, the more people there are. The local custom is to arrive at noon in the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar new year. When you come here to eat tea, go straight ahead and you will reach the tomb of Father Pei. The tombstone has long been erected. , I used a blue-gray slate with the number recorded by Father Pei in the genealogy engraved on it. In fact, I don't really understand the original body. I only know that the tombstones in the village should be written with names like Pei Mougong. The inscription of Pei Naochun was the name of a person.

When I got here, Wu Guizhi had already started crying. She prepared a towel in advance, and while wiping the ashes from the tombstone, she started crying, saying something about you leaving so early, leaving me alone. , Tang Zhaodi suddenly became a strong woman, holding her son with one hand and kneeling with her daughter with the other, and said with tears what her father-in-law had been doing well over there.

Pei Naochun's eyes also quickly filled with tears. The original body's profound influence on his father still affected his heart. He squatted down in silence and laid out bowls of dishes.

As I said earlier, the cemeteries in the village are all on the back mountain, and many people came up. After looking around for a while, you can see many familiar figures in the original body's memory. What the gentlemen do more is to level the soil around the cemetery, or to remove the weeds on it, while the women do more things, such as burning incense, burning white paper, cleaning cloth offerings, and some customs that have been handed down. are basically in their hands.

Pei's father's cemetery is only the first stop for Pei Naochun's family. After that, there are several cemeteries of the previous Grandpa Pei and Mrs. Pei, which must be cleaned.

When they were done with their busy work, and when they looked back, those cemeteries that were not swept by anyone would be particularly conspicuous, with weeds and dust on them, and many of them had some first-class spider webs.

"Nao Chun, what are you looking at again?" Wu Guizhi blushed and cried happily today. She was exhausted even if she wanted to. Seeing her son staring at the mountain in a daze, she followed his gaze and looked back. In the past, she and her son noticed the same thing: "Look at those houses again! It's so pitiful. That's how the absolute household is, and there's not even a single person to sacrifice."

In the past, when she and her husband went up the mountain, when she saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, for fear that after her death, the scene she encountered would be the same, but now with Pei Zihao, she can say a few words condescendingly.

Pei Naochun didn't say a word. Many local customs and customs emerged in his memory.

Tang Zhaodi also came over. She hugged her son. Although her back was sore, she was extraordinarily able to hold her body up: "Yes, it's so pitiful." Her eyes were full of sympathy.

This extremely wealthy account refers to those families who have no children and no daughters. According to local customs, even after death, the monument can only be erected by signing the name of the close nephew and the same generation, and after this, there is no Human sacrifice and sweeping, this can be said to be the most cruel punishment for the local people who strictly abide by the customs.

Before Pei Naochun hadn't fully received the memory of the original body, he had doubts in his heart. He couldn't understand it. Having a child and a daughter is the same. Finally understand, where such an idea comes from - although he does not agree.

In Peijia Village, a family with only daughters, unless it is to recruit children, the daughters will also marry in the nearby villages - ten and eight in the village are surnamed Pei, and they are related to each other. How can they marry each other? But in the nearby villages, the customs are also very similar. The days of sacrifice and sweeping are all on the same day. If the marriage is far away, it is even simpler, and it is too late to even come back.

Even if the daughter is just married, she still misses the family's ritual and sweeping habit and will come back to the grave, but how long has it been? Even the most filial daughter can hardly do it. For decades, every year, when I go back to the village to sweep the tombs in the back mountain, no one sacrifices to sweep, not even a person who burns paper, and it will not continue after this. of extinction.

Of course, as a future person, Pei Naochun was a little confused for a while. Burning paper, offering incense, and offering sacrifices were not all psychological comforts. Who can guarantee that these deceased will really receive it? Besides, after death, with both feet upright and a cup of loess, how do you know what happened behind you?

But in Peijia Village—or in many villages and families, there are still many similar concerns. For example, after a person dies, who will hold the tablet, there are many customs, women cannot hold the tablet, and men must come; The ancestral hall, the incense sticks on the top... In short, in Pei Naochun's view, these may have some strange colors. For many people, it is the pursuit of this life.

Not only that, but in Peijia Village, there is almost no habit of letting daughters care for the elderly. This elderly care does not refer to the concept of most people, giving money and taking care of them, but actually living with someone, even if they are not sick and eat. Whose family has a bowl of rice, whoever drinks a bowl of water, and the water splashed by a married daughter, this sentence is true for many people. When a daughter is married, she is willing to give money and filial piety to you, which is a good thing , If you are really stupid and run over to live with your daughter and son-in-law, you are foolish, ignorant, and ignorant!

A daughter should take care of her in-laws, just like a daughter-in-law should take care of herself.

With such thoughts, any household that fails to give birth to a son is in anxiety. They go back and forth, thinking day and night, that they are getting old and who should take care of them.

Before Pei Zihao was born, the two couples were in bed every day, and they were always talking about this. After that, they both learned the techniques of comforting themselves without a teacher. After seeing Pei Zihao, it can be said that the clouds and mists are cleared to see the moon, and there is no more trouble.

"That's why I said, Zhaodi, you are a great hero of our old Pei family!" Wu Guizhi approached Tang Zhaodi intimately, reached out and touched Pei Zihao's little head, "With Zihao, let alone his father in trouble, Even I can close my eyes now that I'm dead!"

In her life, for the first ten years, she revolved around her younger brother, and she wished that all her heart would be taken out. In the middle of the twenty or so years, she revolved around her husband, raising her son for him, and now she has a grandson. It's time to start circling the grandson!

Tang Zhaodi was still holding her daughter in one hand. Her smile was full of pride. Before she gave birth to a son, whenever she returned to her parents' home, she was greeted with criticism and worry. Whether it was her mother or her sister, they were all worried about her, for fear that she would be She didn't have a son and was finally swept out of the house. You must know that with the opening, the atmosphere has also changed. Many people change their wives when they get rich. It's not a joke. She almost exhausted all means. The secret recipe for having a child, as long as there is something that can be inquired, without her not thinking about a child, I didn't expect to be born out of nowhere!

She looked at her son and wished it would turn into water: "We Zihao are really lucky stars in the family." She pointed to her daughter again, "In the future, Xiaoping, we have to take good care of my brother. When my brother grows up, it's you. God!"

Tang Zhaodi didn't think what she said was wrong. This is what she summed up from her own experience. You must know that when there was no younger brother at home, their sisters had a few golden flowers and were teased every day. At home, her mother washed her face in tears and had a bad temper. After having a younger brother, their family's waist can finally be straightened. Besides, there is a difference between having a male and not having a male in the family. If something happens, the younger brother will help you out!

Pei Xiaoping could not understand, but she only knew that her brother was very important.

Pei Naochun couldn't listen anymore. He bent down, picked up his daughter, and said with a gag: "Isn't it my Xiaoping's day? As long as I make more money, what problems will there be in the future?"

Tang Zhaodi was stunned when her husband said this. She only felt that what she said might offend her husband's authority. She smiled and said, "Of course our family depends on you. I'm talking about the future..."

"When I'm still there, rely on me. If I'm gone, she can rely on herself." Pei Naochun said lightly, "It's like Zhao Di, you and your mother, which one is not on your own? I'm not at home. It all depends on you."

"That's different."

"What's the difference?" Pei Naochun immediately asked back.

Tang Zhaodi just smiled, but the soldiers didn't say anything. Of course, this is different. Whether there is a control or not, the difference is that one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

"This year, our family is going well. We welcome Jin Sun. The old man will be happy when he sees it in the sky." Wu Guizhi continued. He passed away with a smile, "I just hope Naochun you can work outside smoothly and make money steadily."

The only bad thing is this job. If the first child was a man, there would be so many problems.

Wu Guizhi couldn't hold back: "If Xiaoping was a boy, then there would be nothing to do." People's hearts are somewhat biased. This grandson was asked by the family, and she would not blame any family planning. , gave birth to a second child, but felt that there was a problem with the gender of the granddaughter.

"Mom, that's not the case." Pei Naochun immediately retorted, he didn't follow his mother's words, he just said, "I resigned because I followed the flow. The factory's performance has not been very good in the past two years. I'm here. After the city of S, I discovered that the development opportunities on the people's side are much more than ours."

Hearing this, Wu Guizhi immediately rejoiced: "Then it seems that our Zihao has foresight in his stomach, and we will only come out after we count the days!"

Well, Pei Naochun had nothing to say, just hugged his daughter and walked down the mountain.

At night, the sky in Peijia Village is bright. Every year on the day before the New Year's Eve, people in the village will go to dinner with their relatives, such as Pei Naochun's house, with a relatively small population. , usually go to eat at his grandfather's ancestral house - that house was inherited by grandfather's eldest son, his father's family of five brothers will eat there, but other people's family, not less than his family, like him His eldest uncle gave birth to five sons together, and even if their family did not go, they could make up a house.

According to the past practice, people who go to the uncle's house for dinner usually bring some money or go to the county town to buy some raw meat and big bones, and then send it to the back kitchen. After cooking, they are simply eaten together. It's wide, there are two tables, and it's already full.

"Come on, Naochun, sit here." As soon as Pei Naochun entered the house, someone greeted him. He still has a certain status in the village. After all, he used to be a regular worker in the factory and helped the village a lot. Although he has quit his job now, he can It's okay to mix.

"Okay." Pei Naochun recognized that it was his brother in the lobby, and sat down directly. The two tables looked large, but as soon as people came to the table, they were already full. After sweeping this way, the hormones were full, and the two tables were all men. , There is no woman, and the food has not yet been served. There is only a plastic tablecloth on the table, two stacks of melon seeds, peanuts, and a handful of candies. Everyone eats these and starts to brag.

Yes, bragging and chatting are reserved programs on the men's table.

"Nao Chun, if you just quit your job, can you still go back?" The hall brother asked, worried.

"I can't go back, but now I'm caught, I have a second child, how can I go back." He replied with a smile, but half of his heart was in the back kitchen.

The hall brother was very emotional: "Tell me, what kind of thing is this? By the way, I heard people say that there are many ways to do it now." He has been in the village for a long time and heard a lot, "It's a pity that when Xiaoping was born, We didn't care." He patted his thigh, very excited.

Brother Hall rarely has something to say, and he kept talking: "Look at Ermazi, they are smart, they will send them to the countryside when they give birth to their daughters. I want to send my daughter to someone else’s house.” These days, the household registration in the village is not very particular. Unlike later generations, a birth certificate is required, and a paternity test is required for those who are not in the hospital. People, this is what they do. If their daughter is lost in the countryside, if she is not of school age, she will never have to worry about the hukou issue.

"It's fine, it's good to work part-time now." Pei Naochun's bottom of his mind, he couldn't accept such an idea.

The hall brother said again: "Hey, in the end, it's a pity, if your Xiaoping is a boy, there will be no problem!"

"Xiaoping is fine." Pei Naochun was stunned when he said the same thing as his mother and wife in the lobby.

"It's good, but it's a pity that it's not my son." Brother Hall turned 10,000 turns, and he could pull it back. "But it's good, now that you have Zihao in your family, you don't have to worry about it!"

"...Well." This sound, Pei Naochun deserved it was not refreshing.

"It's served!" I don't know which daughter-in-law brought the dishes. According to the old rules, the first dish should be cold dishes, but it's winter, so it doesn't matter, just start with the hard dishes, the first dish. , is the braised pig's trotters. The village does not pay attention to the arrangement of the plate. The boss has a plate full, so he just came up and landed on the table.

Pei Naochun didn't move his chopsticks, his eyes drifted back, but he couldn't see the figures of his children, daughter-in-law and mother.

"Naochun, why don't you eat?" The hall brother didn't treat him politely, and threw a chopstick and pig's trotter into his bowl, "Don't be polite at my house, who are we and who."

"No, I just want Xiaoping and Zihao." He responded casually.

"What do they do?" The hall brother laughed, but he understood it quite well. His cousin didn't have a son before, and he finally had one. He must be worried about it. He patted the other side, "Don't worry, there are so many people behind. , they will look after the children, children, open the little table!"

In the village, a small table is always set up for the children. Usually it is next to the back kitchen. A table is set up. The dishes from the big table are divided into small plates. , just take a look at it, don't ask them to run out.

Pei Naochun didn't plan to do something unconventional when he first came here. He immersed himself in eating, but from time to time he was distracted. After a few rounds of dishes on the table, he began to fight wine. He took an opportunity to go to the toilet in the name of , then went to the kitchen.

The back kitchen of the ancestral house is very large, half in the hut and half outside the courtyard. Now it is bustling with people, and all the women are basically there, and they are busy there.

"The bowls are here, wash the dishes!" It was the daughter-in-law of Brother Hall who was in charge of delivering the dishes. She was very strong. She came back squatting with an empty plate and poured it into the big red basin. There were two little daughters-in-law over there. , Specialized in washing dishes and chopsticks, although some hot water is burned for use, but the weather is cold in winter, and after a while, the water will not breathe, and it will get cold when you put your hands in it.

What Tang Zhaodi does is similar to what she used to do at home. Her hair is **** and she is standing by the chopping board cutting side dishes. The dishes for the Chinese New Year are more or less particular. Garlic is a must, and you have to prepare some shredded cabbage that you can throw away to improve the color.

"Okay, alright, the vinegar and cabbage are ready." Wu Guizhi stood in front of the stove and scolded Fang Qiu. Her craftsmanship was well-known in the whole village. The one standing next to her was the uncle's daughter-in-law who made it. It’s another tough dish. The pot that can cook such a large amount of food sinks a lot, but the daughters-in-law who are standing here are doing their best, and they’re not in the slightest. Half, never give more, never give less.

Hearing this, the sister-in-law in the hall, who had just rested for less than two minutes, got up again. She took a tray, put two dishes on it, and hurried back to the house.

At this moment, the back kitchen is like a standard assembly line. The women in the room have a clear division of labor and smooth connections.
