Sun Daqin disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Chunhua was holding the fine cotton cloth, feeling very embarrassed. She coughed lightly and said, "Fangming, I really didn't hear that. Please don't be angry with me."
Liu Fangming forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Third Aunt, you go ahead with your busy work." Then she turned around and went back to the house.
Li Chunhua held the fine cotton cloth in her hand and felt a little headache.
Zhengkang chased into the house and saw Liu Fangming sitting on the kang with a puffy face. He walked over and sat next to her, "Don't blame my mother for this matter. You know her. She will forget things when she is busy."
Liu Fangming looked at him sideways and said sarcastically, "You have such a good temper. Your mother has never made a piece of clothing for Fengchan, and you're not angry?"
Zhengkang felt a headache, "My mother doesn't have a job, she only has three feet of cloth a year, not enough for herself, how can she afford a good harvest."
Liu Fangming glared at him. "You are lying with your eyes open. Where did that piece of fine cotton cloth come from? She herself said that the cloth was kept at the bottom of the box for at least several years. Our Fengchan is already three years old, and she has never thought of making it for Fengchan. Can you tolerate such partiality?"
Zheng Kang said coldly, "So what if I can't stand it? She is my mother. Can I quarrel with her over a piece of cloth? Besides, the cloth is hers, she can give it to whoever she wants."
Liu Fangming was so angry that he started to curse at him, "You are Fengchan's father, don't you feel bad when you see him wearing dirty clothes?"
Zhengkang felt that Liu Fangming was making a big fuss. "It's no wonder that a child's clothes get dirty when he goes out to play every day. Besides, the harvest is good and there's no shortage of clothes. Is it necessary for you to make such a fuss?"
Liu Fangming twisted her mouth and said, "But his clothes are all made of defective cloth that you got from the supply and marketing cooperative. They are either dirty or have holes in them. How could he have worn such good cloth?" She covered her face with her hands and felt more and more distressed the more she thought about it.
. . .
The couple spoke very loudly, and Li Chunhua, who was making clothes in the main room, could hear it clearly.
She wanted to persuade them, but the two didn't fight. Besides, Liu Fangming was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, so if she tried to persuade them, she would only bring trouble upon herself.
She thought about it and decided to make the clothes quickly as her sister-in-law was waiting to use them.
In the chicken farm, Qian Shulan washed a bunch of grapes for her two children to eat.
At this moment, Sun Daqin came running over in a hurry.
I could hear her voice from a distance, "Mom, mom, I want a hen."
Qian Shulan stood up from the mat. When Fengchan heard his grandmother's voice, he didn't even bother to eat the grapes. He immediately got up and ran over, "Grandma, Grandma!"
He rushed out like a little cannonball. Sun Daqin opened her arms, picked up Fengchan, and carried him under the shed.
When she got to the shed, she put Fengchan on the mat and said to Qian Shulan, "Mom, I want to bring a hen."
Qian Shulan was a little surprised, "Why did you come back?"
Sun Daqin quickly explained, "Fang Yonglin came to Linjia Village to collect eggs. I came here in his car. I can only stay for a while. I have to leave soon."
Qian Shulan was about to ask her if she remembered losing Fengchan, but Sun Daqin spoke first, "Mom, Lizhen doesn't have enough milk, so I came back to buy an old hen and stew it for her."
Qian Shulan remembered that she seemed to have read a report before that old hens contain a large amount of estrogen in their bodies, which not only cannot increase milk production, but will cause milk to dry up.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's use a cock. It's easier to produce milk."
It was the first time Sun Daqin heard of using a rooster to produce milk. She asked uncertainly, "Really? Mom, how about a hen? I only want one. At most, I can deduct it from my work points."
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Qian Shulan simply changed her excuse, "The hens are laying eggs now, how can I sell them to you? I'm the factory director, there's no way I can be flexible."
Normally, we sell roosters, and the hens are sold only in winter. Autumn is coming soon, which is the time when hens lay the most eggs.
When she said this, everyone around her looked at her with admiration.
Qian Shulan didn't notice other people's gazes. Seeing that Sun Daqin looked a little down, she thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you, the best milk-producing food is not chicken, but crucian carp. When I gave birth to Xiaoliu and the others, my milk had already disappeared. It was only because of the crucian carp soup that my milk came back."
Sun Daqin opened her eyes wide, "Really?"
Qian Shulan rolled her eyes and said, "Why would I lie to you?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law was determined not to give her a hen, Sun Daqin had to settle for a rooster, and she asked for an extra one.
After tying the roosters with red ropes, she picked up one in each hand and ran out quickly.
The two roosters were hung in the air by her, flapping their wings in fear, and all the chickens around them ran away in fear.
Fengchan watched his grandmother pass away and burst into tears.
The voice was so loud, as if it wanted to cry out all the grievances.
Qian Shulan quickly picked him up. She had never seen such a crying child before. Xiaomin had always been a well-behaved child. When she was young, she cried for a reason, either because she peed or defecated, or because she was hungry.
Seeing Fengchan like this, she didn't know how to coax him.
Seeing that her grandmother was sweating profusely in anxiety, Xiao Min immediately got up from the mat, ran to the side of the path and picked two morning glories and two foxtail grasses.
The morning glory is purple and bright red, and anyone who sees it will like it. In order to stop him from crying, Xiao Min reluctantly handed him the morning glory and negotiated with him, "I'll give you the flower, please don't cry."
Fengchan lowered his head and shook his head continuously. With a wave of his little hand, the delicate morning glory was knocked to the ground.
The originally flexible morning glory could no longer bloom after it was picked up. It became wilted. Xiao Min glared at him angrily.
Seeing that he was about to cry again, Xiao Min quickly handed him the dog's tail in her hand and said, "This is for you!"
Fengchan looked at the two furry things with tears in his eyes and took them timidly.
His palms rubbed against the fluffy dogtail grass, which made him feel itchy. He immediately started to giggle.
Seeing him crying and laughing alternately, Xiao Min pouted in disgust, "You don't want morning glory, but you want dogtail grass, tut tut tut tut."
Fengchan leaned his head on Qian Shulan's back and poked Xiaomin's hair with a dogtail grass.
The top of the dogtail grass is like a bunch of small grass seeds, which will fall down with a little force. He poked her head and the grass seeds immediately fell on her head. Xiao Min screamed madly, "Ah, you little bastard. The grass seeds fell into my hair."
Fengchan chuckled at her frantic roar.
Let’s not talk about Xiao Min’s irritability, let’s talk about Sun Daqin. Today can be said to be her most miserable day.
In the scorching heat of 38 degrees, she kept running back and forth around Wangjia Village.
Although she was sweating profusely and her clothes on the back were soaked, it did not affect her good mood at all.
When she met someone on the street and greeted them, her teeth were exposed.
She ran home quickly, holding two crucian carps she had fished out of the pond in one hand and two roosters in the other.
She first ran to the utility room, took out two sacks, and put the fish and chicken into them.
Then she shouted to the main room, "Chunhua, are the clothes ready?"
Li Chunhua shouted to the outside, "It's done!"
Sun Daqin immediately rushed into the house happily, but almost bumped into Zhengkang who was walking out of the east room of the main hall.
"What are you doing? You scared me!" Sun Daqin patted her chest, glared at him, and walked around Zhengkang to get her clothes.
Zhengkang was pushed by Liu Fangming from behind, so he could only shout, "Mom?"
"What's up?" Sun Daqin was checking the clothes. The style was quite simple, a bit like the jumpsuits of later generations. One advantage of this kind of clothes is that it saves fabric.
There was no other way, because she only had so much cloth. It was not enough to make two sets of clothes, one for the upper and one for the lower. She could only make one-piece clothes for the two children, since the weather was so hot, they could wear them for a month or two.
Zhengkang said dryly, "Mom, you can't be so partial. Why don't you make such good fabric for Fengchan?"
Sun Daqin did not answer him, but thanked Li Chunhua, "The clothes are well made. I will pay you when I come back. I am in a hurry to leave."
Li Chunhua waved her hands and said, "No, it's only a short while. How can I charge you for it?"
Sun Daqin smiled but said nothing. She looked up at Zhengkang and Liu Fangming behind him. Her face darkened and she twisted her mouth, "I've said before that I can give my fabric to whoever I want. I've never seen you give me a piece of fabric before. Do you have the nerve to say that I'm not a good mother?"
Zhengkang lowered his head, his face red with embarrassment. The cloth he was given every month was only enough for himself, and the defective cloth he could buy was used to make clothes for Fengchan.
Seeing that he was overwhelmed so quickly, Liu Fangming stepped forward and said, "Mom, you are the elder, but you can't be so partial. We are all grandchildren, why do you only give it to my second brother's child and not to Fengchan?"
Sun Daqin glared at her and shouted at the top of her voice, "I am biased, so what? I have raised a bumper crop for you for three years and never asked you for a penny. I have done you enough. I tell you, my heart was crooked from birth. You are dreaming if you want me to treat you equally!"
Liu Fangming had never seen anyone talk about partiality so naturally. She glared at him with anger, "Mom, can't you learn from grandma? She has always been fair and just."
Sun Daqin curled her lips and said as a matter of course, "If I had your grandmother's ability, I wouldn't raise such an unfilial thing. I've been working for so long, but I've never seen you two buy me a good thing or say a good word to me. Your grandmother is so blessed, which son is not filial to her? Unlike you, you only ask for benefits from me, but never show filial piety to me. If you want me to be fair and just, wait until you have another child, and then you can be fair and just yourself and then talk to me about this issue."
After saying that, she ignored the two of them and hurried to the east room with her clothes.
When she came out, she was carrying another bag on her back, then she picked up the sack in the yard and strode out.
Li Chunhua rubbed her hands and explained to them, "Don't blame your mother. My mother-in-law got that piece of cloth with great difficulty a few years ago. It was originally given to us daughters-in-law to make trousers, but your mother couldn't bear to part with it, so she kept it."
She was not good at speaking and the more she explained, the less clear she became.
At least Liu Fangming didn't feel that she was comforted by him. Zhengkang felt very depressed after hearing what his mother said.
Zhou Xuemei brought the twins and sat at the dining table to supervise them while they ate.
After hearing what her third sister-in-law said, Zhou Xuemei was quite speechless. This person never speaks to the point.
She smiled and said to Zhengkang, "Zhengkang, your mother has had a hard time too. You said your mother favors Zhengguo, don't you know why she favors her?"
Zhengkang's face flushed red, of course he knew. Ever since Zhengguo gave all his savings to his mother for her medical treatment, his mother loved Zhengguo the most. She would always leave any delicious food for Zhengguo.
Zhou Xuemei raised her eyebrows, "You clearly know the reason, so why are you dissatisfied?" You reap what you sow. This is a truth that many people know, but these two people don't know it. Zhou Xuemei could only shake her head helplessly.
Zhengkang lowered his head and muttered in silence. Just now his mother said that he had never been filial to her, but that was because she was still young. The family didn't lack anything. When she needed anything, he would definitely not ignore her.
Zhou Xuemei looked at Liu Fangming, "Don't think your parents should do what they do. My mother-in-law is fair and treats everyone equally, but how many people can do that? Although your mother-in-law is not as fair as my mother-in-law, she is not bad either. She helps you take care of your child for free and doesn't even go to work. But you two have never been grateful to her, but instead feel that it is your duty. Fengchan is your child and your responsibility. She loves you and helps you take care of your child, so you should be grateful. Don't think about asking your mother-in-law to change. I tell you, your mother-in-law can't change. She is just partial. What can you do with her? If you make her angry, she won't take care of your child. Let's see what you can do?"
Liu Fangming was angry and aggrieved. It turned out that her mother-in-law was biased, and she couldn't say anything.
Zhou Xuemei spread her hands and said, "That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
