463.School(2)

 Just as he turned around to leave, his wife stopped him again.

"I said you're such a shameless person, why are you going to someone else's house at this noon? How can you go to someone else's house at noon? Go after eating."

After her reminder, Captain Zhou came back to his senses and smiled honestly.

"Look at my brain, I forgot about this when I was in a hurry. You hurry up and cook, I will go after dinner, and you can't delay the afternoon work."

Although I am a captain, I still have a lot of trivial things to do on weekdays. Spring has begun and I still have to be busy with some things.

The meals at the farmhouse are relatively simple, with cornmeal paste in the morning and cornmeal soup at noon.

I picked wild vegetables today.

Aunt Zhou picked and washed the wild vegetables, mixed them with some seasonings, and generously added some sesame oil. She wrapped them into wild vegetable buns, which tasted amazing.

After finishing the meal, Captain Zhou left in a hurry.

Aunt Zhou picked out 10 of her own eggs and asked him to hold them.

He looked at his wife in confusion.

Aunt Zhou put the small basket directly into his hand.

"When I came back in the morning, Sister Yang gave me a jar of rice wine. Isn't our daughter in confinement? It would be better to drink this. I said I have objections, but they don't want it. You can bring these eggs over to their house.

If you don’t feed the chickens, you won’t be able to eat fresh eggs. Let them eat them first, and then give them to them slowly.”

Captain Zhou very much agrees with his wife’s clear settlement of accounts.

"Okay."

After saying that, he left.

Aunt Zhou turned around and saw her daughter-in-law and grandson looking at her.

I scanned it lightly.

"This kind of favor is called favor because it comes and goes. If you blindly take advantage of others, who would want to associate with you? Don't worry, I will subsidize the money for the eggs to you when the time comes."

Their family has not yet been separated, and their three sons all live in the same home.

Naturally, there will be more things to do if there are more people.

The eldest and second child are married and have children. The third child just got married and has no children yet. If there are too many people in the future, we may not be able to live here anymore, so we have to think about it.

Some things need to be stated clearly, otherwise they will not have to think too much.

Aunt Zhou has always been a generous person, and even though her three daughters-in-law have their own little ideas, they still focus on her.

"Mom, what are you talking about? You don't have the final say in our family. It's right to give these eggs to Aunt Jiang's family. It's hard for my sister to have confinement. It's great to have rice wine to drink. Look at us.

There are still some eggs left at home, let’s deliver them together when the time comes.”

"That's right, Mom, I still have some brown sugar left. Let's give it to the girl to drink later. Brown sugar is good for pregnant women."

Seeing that they could be so united, Aunt Zhou was particularly pleased.

"Okay, I will remember your kindness. By the way, your Aunt Jiang's family likes to eat wild vegetables recently. Yanzi, lead your younger brothers and sisters to pick the wild vegetables and send them over directly. Don't make too much noise when you send them. Don't disturb Auntie.

I was hit, did you hear me?"

Yanzi is Aunt Zhou's eldest granddaughter. She is 7 years old this year. She nodded obediently when she heard this.

Her second daughter-in-law looked at her daughter.

Hesitantly said: "Mom, Yanzi is already 7 years old this year. Shouldn't she go to school?"

As soon as she said this, everyone stopped what they were doing.

My Huzi is 8 years old this year and is already in the second grade.

Going to school is not easy either.

Especially in rural families, boys will go to school first, and girls...

Aunt Zhou's movements stopped.

Her daughter-in-law's heart stopped when she saw this action.

He quickly explained: "Mom, just let Yanzi go to school. The two of us will work twice as hard. I don't ask her to study well. She just doesn't want to be blind in the future and won't be deceived."

Just finish elementary school."

She begged softly.

I am afraid that my mother-in-law will not let her go to school because she is a girl.

Aunt Zhou glanced sideways.

"In your eyes, I am just an old and abusive woman. Am I such an unreasonable person? My grandchildren are all the same. They all go to school. As for how far they can go, it depends on their own destiny. We

My family is not that kind of ignorant family, and I am not one of those ignorant old women. The children all go to school when they reach the age where they should go to school, and all the money comes from the public account."

Her daughter-in-law cried with joy when she heard this and quickly said words of thanks.

Aunt Zhou raised her hand holding the chopsticks and waved it.

"Don't worry about me here. Just finish your meal and go to work. Remember to pick some tender wild vegetables."

When Yanzi heard that he could go to school, his face smiled like a flower.

"Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely pick a lot of wild vegetables to send to Grandma Jiang's house."

The children on the side also responded.

At this time, the Jiang family.

The family is eating around the table.

Captain Zhou came suddenly.

As soon as I walked in, I saw them holding bowls and still eating, so I smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, you are eating right now, I will come later."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Father Jiang quickly got up and came over to stop him.

"Old Zhou, what are you doing? You came as soon as you came. Why are you leaving? Is something wrong?"

Captain Zhou didn't expect that he still caught up with others for dinner after waiting for a long time.

He himself felt a little embarrassed.

He really didn't mean it.

An awkward smile.

"Then... my mother-in-law said that my eldest niece has something to do with me, so I'm here without eating. I didn't expect you are still eating. You eat first, and I will come over after you finish."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Father Jiang quickly stopped him.

"You're here, why don't you go for a walk? I just happened to have dumplings for lunch today, so come and try them. The dumplings made with wild vegetables are so delicious."

Without any explanation, I pulled Captain Zhou and walked home.

I shouted towards the kitchen.

"Shuhua, brother Zhou is here, you can also serve him a bowl of dumplings."

When Captain Zhou heard this, he waved his hand quickly.

"Brother Jiang, please say goodbye. I came here after having dinner at home. You should hurry up and eat. By the way, my wife asked me to bring this to my sister-in-law."

As he said that, he handed over the small basket in his hand. The small basket became extremely delicate.

Xiao Junjun put down his small bowl and came over, looking at the basket curiously.

"Grandpa Zhou, this little basket looks nice. Can I give you my candy in exchange for it?"

Such a white and tender baby calls himself grandpa.

Captain Zhou’s heart melted.

"If you like it, little Junjun, take it. I don't want your candy."

Gently pushed the small basket towards Xiao Junjun.

Xiao Junjun shook his head very seriously.

"No, my mother taught us not to take other people's things casually. If we want something, we have to buy it with money or exchange it with something. I'll take the candy."
