Chapter 3234: Rectifying Family Traditions
,
"Take it out." Niu Dazhu shouted.
Junjun and Zhuangzhuang's fat bodies trembled, and the fat on their bodies kept trembling. They obediently took out the oil cakes. Niu Dazhu snorted coldly and put the oil cakes back into the basket.
Niu Dasao and Niu Ersao next door waited for a long time, but their sons didn't bring back the oil cakes. They gritted their teeth and went to make breakfast with curses. As Niu Dazhu said, their pots and stoves were rusty, and it would take a lot of time to clean them up.
After breakfast, Tiedan said that he would take Junjun and Zhuangzhuang to the city, and asked Yadan to go with them. Junjun and his brother naturally had no objection, as they hadn't been to the city for a long time.
"Buy some meat, fish and shrimp by the way." Tang Yuanyuan instructed.
Tiedan's mother glanced at her and pouted secretly. She was not very happy. Since she was staying for a month, she had to pay living expenses. She didn't think much about it at first, but Niu Dajie and Niu Erjie mentioned it to her yesterday, and Tiedan's mother had some ideas in her mind. She felt that she should pay living expenses, but Tang Yuanyuan had not made any move until now, and she was embarrassed to ask. She felt very upset.
Tang Yuanyuan had actually prepared living expenses early in the morning, and put 10,000 yuan in cash in her bag early in the morning, but she didn't want to take it out now. If she gave it to her mother-in-law, it would probably go into the pockets of those four greedy people.
She just wanted to be penny-pinching now.
"Take the money." Tang Yuanyuan took out a stack of money and stuffed it into Tiedan's pocket.
After Tiedan took his nephew and Yadan to the city, Tangyuanyuan took Roubing and Roubao to play in the yard. There were many children outside who were looking around but didn't dare to come in. Tangyuanyuan went to get some candy and asked Roubing to share it with these children. Soon, the brother and sister became friends with these children and had a lot of fun in the yard.
Rope skipping, throwing sandbags, hitting cardboard... these were all things the brother and sister had never played before, and they were very new. Roubao's pink skirt was soon stained with black ash. Tangyuanyuan endured it again and again, but finally didn't say anything. At most, it would take some time to wash clothes, and the most important thing was that the children had fun.
This was the first time that Niu Dazhu didn't want to go to the fields to work. Usually, he would take his tools to the fields after breakfast and come back at lunch time. When he was busy, Tiedan's mother would bring lunch to the fields, saving the time of going back and forth. Even if he was not feeling well, Niu Dazhu would not delay his work. Unless he couldn't get out of bed, he would do his farm work every day.
But today he didn't want to go. He wanted to stay home with his granddaughter. The soft and tender granddaughter was so fun, more fun than the crops in the field. Niu Dazhu wanted to stay home with his granddaughter, but he didn't want to delay farm work.
Tiedan's mother saw the old man walking around in the yard.
He stopped to look at the meat buns after walking a few steps, and then walked a few steps to look at the farm tools. He had been dawdling in the yard for half an hour.
"Why don't we go to the fields today? Let the eldest and second sons do it."
In fact, with her family's current conditions, it doesn't matter whether the fields are planted or not. Every household in the village has more food than can be eaten. She and the old man can buy food if they want to, but the old man insisted on farming, saying that farmers cannot cut off their roots. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't farm.
Tiedan's mother advised again: "It's okay if you don't farm for a month. I'll tell the eldest and second sons that you can just stay at home this month."
They have been farming for most of their lives, so it's only right for them to take a month off. Tiedan's mother said as she walked towards Big Brother Niu's house, and brought a basket of oil cakes with her. The eldest and second daughters-in-law are not good at cooking, so the breakfast they make will definitely not suit the appetite of the two sons. How can they have the energy to work if they don't eat enough?
"I'm going to work, so they don't need to work!" Niu Dazhu stopped Tiedan's mother, looking at the oil cakes in her hand with a fierce face, his eyes were very stern.
