Chapter 100: Curious baby
What are you showing off? It\'s as if those things didn\'t fall out of your hands.
You haven\'t drunk yet, are you drunk? "Zhou Guilan rolled her eyes disapprovingly when she heard her husband\'s words.
"If you really want to talk about the **** things in your family, you can\'t finish it for three days and three nights. You, shut up."
Xu\'s family was in Shijiagou, Yinkuangzi, and it can be counted as a well-known family.
Dozens of acres of land, a large orchard, and a mountain at home. The family also runs a flour mill and raises large animals.
Can’t be considered a big landlord, but a small landlord is definitely enough.
Xu Chenghou has no brothers, only a younger sister, and everything in the family belongs to him.
The atmosphere at the silver mine is not good. When the men are free in winter, they either drink for money or smoke.
When Xu Chenghou was young, he didn\'t smoke, but he was extremely obsessed with money.
I often go out to play money, and I go there for ten and a half months. I lose all my money before I come back.
Gradually, the family property cost him a lot.
Xu Chenghou\'s first daughter-in-law was surnamed Jiang. Women in the old society had a hard time living, especially the new daughter-in-law, who suffered from difficulties everywhere in her husband\'s family.
Xu Chenghou\'s parents are all old feudal antiques, and the most common sentence they say is "the daughter-in-law who hit him kneads the noodles."
A disobedient daughter-in-law deserves a beating, no matter what the daughter-in-law does right or wrong, it is a beating anyway.
The daughter of the Jiang family married to the Xu family for two years, and was tortured to death in a daze.
The other side of the Jiang family sued the officials, and the Xu family spent a lot of money to settle the lawsuit, and it has completely declined since then.
Later, Xu Chenghou spent a lot of money to marry Zhou Guilan into the family. It may be because of the example of the previous daughter-in-law, but the Xu family did not dare to fight to the death.
Even so, Zhou Guilan suffered a lot during the few years when she first married.
Until Xu Shixian was born, it finally got better.
In 1948, Xu Chenghou\'s parents died, and Xu\'s family fell into disrepair. Even so, the middle peasants were settled.
Combined with the fact that Xu Chenghou has always been out of tune, he has become the target of the main attack, and he is very excluded from the silver mine.
At the suggestion of Zhou Guilan\'s mother, she moved to Fusong to settle down.
Not long after the Xu family moved here, the commune was established.
Driven by the commune and the production team, and separated from the environment of the silver mine, Xu Chenghou slowly improved, and gradually became famous in Daying Commune.
Unfortunately, because Xu Shixian acted as a monster, the Xu family was severely suppressed.
Finally, I had no choice, so I moved to the big house, a remote place in the countryside.
Zhou Guilan doesn\'t like to bring up things about her hometown the most. Whenever she mentions it, she thinks of how her mother-in-law tortured her back then. Those days are like nightmares now.
"Fortunately, our family has moved out. If we still stay in our hometown, can we live like this?
You have already been ruined, and the children may starve to death.
What are you talking about? Free time for you. In the future, don\'t mention your mother in front of me, I don\'t like to hear it. "
Zhou Guilan has been married to Xu\'s family for more than 30 years. From a submissive little daughter-in-law at the beginning, to now an uncompromising head of the family, it perfectly confirms the saying that a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years.
"Okay, today is Chinese New Year, let\'s not mention those boring things, just sit down and eat with chopsticks."
Zhou Guilan sorted out her mood, not thinking about the bad things in the past, but greeted the children to eat with a smile.
"Come on, Yingzi, eat a piece of fish and ribs."
Zhou Guilan was afraid that Su Anying would be stupid and that she would be too hard to eat, so she picked up some dishes that were far away and put them in Su Anying\'s bowl.
"Little Yan\'er, if you can\'t reach the other end, let the fourth child pinch it for you.
My family members don’t need to be outsiders, they can eat whatever they want. "
I have been trained by my mother-in-law and know how difficult it is to be a daughter-in-law, so Zhou Guilan never makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law, and treats her daughter-in-law very well.
In her own words, it is the hardship I have suffered, and I cannot let my daughter-in-law suffer again.
A table of good food, it\'s too late to eat, who cares about talking?
Anyway, those children in Beikang couldn\'t wait to stuff their mouths with meat, and they were all eager to eat.
At Nankang, Xu Chenghou didn\'t get angry after being teased by his wife. He just smiled and asked his son to pour wine, and led his five sons to drink happily.
The whole year is busy, and only during the New Year can we relax.
Xu Chenghou no longer put on the airs of being a father, and chatted with his sons while eating and drinking, very amiable.
The children on the other side of the North Kang are still young after all, and their stomach capacity is limited. After eating for a while, they felt that their stomachs were full, and they began to think about it.
I happened to see the table at Nankang, grandpa, dad, uncle, and uncles didn\'t know what to drink.
Looking at the happy look of grandpa, he took a sip of the contents of the cup, narrowed his eyes, and had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Xu Haibo rolled his eyes, put down his chopsticks, got off the ground, and ran to Grandpa Nankang.
"Master, what are you drinking? Why does it look delicious? Give me a sip too?"
Children are curious, so they think that there must be something delicious in grandpa\'s cup, and they must be greedy.
"You bastard, that\'s wine, it\'s spicy, you\'re hungry for anything?"
When Xu Shian heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he scolded his son.
Xu Haibo was a little afraid of his father, but he was still thinking about what was in his grandfather\'s wine glass, so he hid in his arms.
"Master, what is wine? Is it delicious? Give me a taste?"
The little guy looked up at his grandfather eagerly.
Although Xu Chenghou is very strict with his sons, he likes his grandson very much, and he is very fond of children.
As soon as he heard that the eldest grandson wanted to taste the wine, the old man dipped his chopsticks into the wine glass and brought it to Xu Haibo\'s mouth.
"Try it, isn\'t it spicy?"
A child, how can he stand the taste of wine?
Even though there was only one drop, the bitter and spicy taste made Xu Haibo\'s face wrinkle quickly.
With a "wow", the child cried. "What is this? It\'s spicy and bitter."
Originally, she was just a little crying bag, and she cried for a while when she had nothing to do, let alone this time.
Xu Shian\'s face turned black with anger, "I told you it\'s not good, you have to taste it, and you cried after you tasted it.
Go and find your mother, don\'t be annoying here. "
Men, few have the patience to coax their children, especially when faced with a crying child, it can definitely break people down.
The child cried, and Wei Mingrong sat there and continued to eat, as if nothing happened.
Anyway, the crying bag in her family cried all day long, the more she coaxed her, the more she cried, and it stopped after a while.
But Zhou Guilan couldn\'t stand her grandson crying so much, so she hurried down to the ground, filled a bowl of water in the pot and came back.
"Xiao Bo, come here, what\'s the matter with grandma? Your grandpa\'s is not good, but the water in grandma\'s hand is delicious. Come and taste it."
The steamed water of Lituozi should be light red, because it is mixed with grape cake and Shanlihongpier, so the color is much darker.
The purple soup is really a bit of juice.
Children are easily attracted by novelty.
Xu Haibo saw the juice in grandma\'s hand, and saw that the color was very bright, so he immediately fell in love with it, so he took a sip.
Well, this tastes good, much better than that wine.
