Chapter 33

Views:

The mother-in-law talked to the captain in order to arrange an easy job for herself, which surprised Dong Jiahui.

In the few days since she married Zhao Donglin, Zhang Qiaoer has been very kind to her. She belongs to the kind of mother-in-law who doesn't come and make sense. She didn't expect Zhang Qiaoer to do so many things for her in private. Dong Jiahui is very grateful for this.

She glanced at Zhao Donglin, wanting to know what he said about this matter, even though it was because of herself, she didn't know it from the beginning to the end, I don't know how to deal with it properly, it still depends on Zhao Donglin and her mother-in-law Zhang Qiaoer Opinion.

After Zhao Donglin heard what his younger sister Zhao Meixiang said, he remained silent all the time. He went to the army when he was a teenager, and he was used to life in the military camp.

For him who has not been home for a long time, family is a warm haven, and his feelings for his family still remain in his heart more than ten years ago.

As for Zheng Yuefen, because he hasn't had much contact with her, his knowledge is limited to his younger brother's wife.

Heidan's words this morning had already aroused Zhao Donglin's dissatisfaction with this sister-in-law. After returning, he heard Meixiang say that his sister-in-law had quarreled with his mother, which made Zhao Donglin even more dissatisfied.

He is filial, a person who values his family and has a great sense of responsibility, otherwise he would not have given up the opportunity to be promoted in the army and chose to return to his hometown, just to take care of his elderly parents and young children.

He couldn't see his mother being wronged, what's more, the whole thing was related to his wife, that is to say, Zheng Yuefen offended the two women Zhao Donglin cared most about at once.

He didn't speak, and Dong Jiahui didn't know what he was thinking, but when they came back, they should go to see Zhang Qiaoer out of reason, so Dong Jiahui said to Zhao Donglin, "I want to go and see my mother?"

Zhao Donglin replied with a reply.

This is Dong Jiahui's first time entering her mother-in-law's room. The space is quite large and has all the furniture that should be there, but it is relatively old and looks like she is getting older.

There are a lot of things in the room, and there are wooden boxes and clay pots in the corner, which should be used for storage.

"Mom, how are you? I heard from Meixiang that you haven't eaten much all day today. You can't do without food. Let me cook you something?"

I haven't seen her for a day, and Zhang Qiaoer's face looks haggard a lot. Dong Jiahui was always worried when seeing her like this.

Zhang Qiaoer originally had her eyes closed, and she opened them only when Dong Jiahui came in. In just a few seconds, Dong Jiahui's expression did not escape Zhang Qiaoer's eyes.

Seeing the care of the eldest daughter-in-law who does not seem to be fake, Zhang Qiaoer's heart that was hurt by the second daughter-in-law was somewhat comforted.

She sighed and waved at Dong Jiahui.

"You don't need to be busy. I really have no appetite. I can't eat anything right now."

Dong Jiahui sat down by the bed, she lowered her head, somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

"Mom, I've heard that Yuefen has problems with you because of my affairs. I've only been married for three days, and I haven't helped the family with anything. I've only added to the mess for Mom."

She was grateful for Zhang Qiaoer's planning. To be honest, she herself was quite afraid of working in the fields. She hadn't done any farm work before time travel. When she was a child, she couldn't tell the difference between leeks and garlic.

But gratitude is gratitude, she has received this kindness, and she will not pretend to shirk it, such as not needing to bother, or not giving it to younger siblings.

She is not the Virgin Mary, she does not pursue selfless dedication, shines brightly, and does not ask everyone to say that she is good.

Many times, although she shows that she is willing to help others and make concessions, it is just an image setting. In her heart, she is an out-and-out egoist, which is also a common problem of many only children in the 21st century. .

I am kind and I am gentle, but I am actually doing it for myself. I just don’t want others to think that I am not kind or gentle. As long as it involves self-interest, don’t hesitate to choose conditions that are beneficial to you.

Therefore, she would not give up the job of the custodian no matter what.

"It's not your business, you younger siblings, no matter how old you are, I'm not as clear-headed as you, it's really pissing me off."

In the village, some sons get married and live separately, while others still live together. Separate families have the advantages of being separated, and there are fewer conflicts.

But between people, friction is unavoidable, the tongue and the teeth are still fighting, not to mention that everyone thinks differently.

The reason why the Zhao family didn't separate is because Zhao Donglin has been in the army all the time, and the second is because the old couple only have these two sons, not because five or six of them live together and feel crowded.

These years, no one thought that Zhao Donglin would divorce Wang Mei, and after Zhao Donglin came back from the army and married another wife, the contradiction suddenly became apparent.

Zhang Qiaoer has been lying in bed for a long time, thinking about how to go about this family in the future.

The second daughter-in-law has already expressed her dissatisfaction with the eldest family. In order to avoid the brothers fighting against each other, the family should be divided. I can't bear it.

According to the village's custom, the old couple should live with the boss's family after the separation. The boss is capable, with a salary of sixty-two yuan a month. The commune also distributes rations. He can support a family of four by himself and save money. Come.

As for the old couple, they are good hands and feet, they get work points when they go to work, and they earn their own rations. With the savings from these years, life will definitely not be bad.

As for the second child's family, the husband and wife can earn work points, but without her own help, Zheng Yuefen has to take care of the children alone to do housework without delaying her work. If she has another son and a half daughter in the future, how will she live her life

She sighed and sighed here, if people's brains are not clear, they will kill any good life.

Dong Jiahui went to the kitchen to make food for Zhang Qiaoer, leek pancakes and egg millet porridge.

Leek cake is to wash and chop the leeks, put them into the prepared flour and mix well, scoop them out with a spoon and stick them on the edge of the pan for baking.

As for the egg millet porridge, eggs are cracked into the boiled millet porridge, and a little brown sugar is added to stir.

Millet porridge is nutritious, and eggs are flat in taste and sweet in taste. Cooking the two together into porridge is good for qi and refreshment.

Dong Jiahui saw that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood, and she was obviously annoyed by Zheng Yuefen. Cooking this can be regarded as "cooking for the symptoms".

Egg and millet porridge is a good thing. In rural areas, many mothers can't eat this kind of food during confinement.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind to our mother."

Zhao Meixiang held Yingbao and accompanied Dong Jiahui to cook in the kitchen, admiring her sister-in-law's skill of making delicious food with just three taps.

Before Dong Jiahui married in, the food at home was enough to fill her stomach, and no one cared about how to cook it deliciously and how to match it with nutrition.

Cooking skills really depend on talent. Zhao Meixiang followed her mother Zhang Qiaoer in this area, so she often couldn't figure out why Dong Jiahui's food was better than others' food with the same ingredients.

What touched Zhao Meixiang the most was that her sister-in-law did not simply cook a white rice porridge to deal with it, but really treated it with her heart. If she had put it in the past, Zhao Meixiang would not have thought about it too much, but she just watched how the second sister-in-law made her mother angry In the bed, people can't stand comparison with each other, and the gap will come as soon as the comparison is made.

"Mom is good to us too, it's all mutual."

Most of her kindness to her mother-in-law before was false. Today, after knowing what her mother-in-law arranged for her in private, Dong Jiahui's kindness to her mother-in-law is much more sincere.

While Dong Jiahui was cooking, Zhang Qiaoer called her eldest son Zhao Donglin into her room.

"You almost know the matter. My heart is in a mess now. I am very relieved of you. Before you divorced Wang Mei, I was worried about how you would live in the future. Now that your wife has entered the house, I see her as a Alright, let go of my heart."

She really didn't worry about Dong Jiahui's dealing with people, and she had a good relationship with her son. As for whether the two of them could have a child in the future, she couldn't tell for a while, so she didn't bother herself with future affairs.

"I just want to ask you what you mean now, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

If the boss says not to pursue it, then continue to live with one eye open and one eye closed. At worst, let Donghe take good care of his wife. not suitable.

Zhao Donglin understood his mother's meaning, he is a big man, he doesn't like to talk about women's right and wrong, but Zheng Yuefen's two incidents today touched his back, he told his mother what Heidan said in the morning.

Zhang Qiao'er became even angrier when she heard this, she patted the bed frame and sighed, "It's a bad thing for anyone to get involved with such a daughter-in-law. In the past, she was only thought of as ignorant and thoughtless in doing things. Now, it seems that she is not brainless. She's just too brainy, too clever."

What can be smart is not the place, but the rule of one's own people.

"Okay, I also know what you mean. When Dong He comes back, I will tell him first. This matter will not be resolved in a short while. You are brothers after all."

If Donghe is unwilling to separate the family, she, as a mother, will definitely take Donghe's meaning into account, but the second daughter-in-law has already had this sign, and the whole family should pay attention to it in the future.

While talking, there was a scent from the kitchen. Zhang Qiaoer knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was giving herself a whole meal. Even if she had no appetite, she would feel hungry when she smelled it.

"To be honest, among the three daughters-in-law, Jiahui is really the best. In terms of people, I really can't compare with you."

Both Wang Mei and Zheng Yuefen were picked by her. At that time, she only considered appearance and family, and did not consider temperament.

Although Zhao Donglin had no expression on his face, his unfurled eyebrows and the slightly raised corners of his mouth still revealed his emotions. Of course, since Zhang Qiaoer hadn't lived with his son for more than ten years, it was impossible to see that his son was complacent.

"There's something I need to tell you."

After Zhao Donglin opened his mouth, Zhang Qiaoer looked over and waited for him to speak. Zhao Donglin told what happened to his wife before, and Zhang Qiaoer was dumbfounded.

"What? Are you telling the truth?!"

After listening to her son's words, Zhang Qiao'er couldn't care less about being depressed at the moment, and sat up directly from the bed.

"Well, so, there is no telling when she will be pregnant, but I don't want it to be so soon. There are Heidan and Yingbao at home, and there are too many children to be busy."

Zhang Qiaoer wouldn't think about this. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and pulled up Zhao Donglin's sleeves with a smile, "How can you say such a thing? It's too confused. She doesn't understand or something. Yes, she was only eighteen years old at that time, and she was young, but how could it be, she didn't understand the Lu family, and neither did she? You didn't frame me on purpose, did you? "

Zhao Donglin smiled helplessly, "No, why should I lie to you?"

It's because he's afraid that Jiahui will make some noise one day, and he needs to explain each one, so it's better to make it clear now.

Zhang Qiaoer was in a good mood, clasped his hands together and muttered "Amitabha, thank God".

In the kitchen, Dong Jiahui had already prepared dinner. She filled Zhang Qiaoer's bowl first, and there were some left in the pot, especially leek pancakes. She made eight of them, and only gave two to her mother-in-law.

"Meixiang, there's still some in the pot, you can fill it up and eat."

In fact, Zhao Meixiang was drooling a long time ago, and she didn't eat much at night. The family was so noisy that she was not in the mood to eat at all. Seeing that her sister-in-law cooks so deliciously, she really wants to eat.

"This is not good, this is the rice cooked for Mom."

"It's okay, mom can't eat so much, you can eat the rest with Yingbao."

After she said this, she brought Yingbao with her, and Zhao Meixiang finally let go of the entanglement.

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Dong Jiahui smiled and took her mother-in-law's meal to her room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother-in-law's happy face, as if she had won the jackpot lottery.
