Chapter 22 The Way of Filial Piety
Looking at the sky, Zhang Guoqing was also in a hurry to go home. The village hasn't finished work in the morning, so I can still help if I rush back now. Pushing open the door, Zhang Guoqing shouted for his mother, and Zhang's mother responded loudly. Just this ordinary shout, the two of them finished shouting, and laughed. Fortunately, no one was at home except Zhou Jiao, who was in confinement, and her naive son.
"Mom, what are you doing. Don't you look at some old things I bought? Let's take a break and come back to me."
Zhang's mother came out from the backyard, and gave Zhang Guoqing a blank look: "What's the matter? Take the things back to your own room, so as not to save those shallow-sighted people who are tempted and go."
Zhang Guoqing understands that this is because the second sister-in-law made a mistake, and the old lady feels uncomfortable. He hurriedly pulled Zhang's mother into his room, and gently leaned on Zhang's mother's ear and said, "Mother, come with me, and I will tell you how to fight against a shrew. Where is my father? I have to talk to my father about this matter." For a moment, turn around and don't scare him."
Zhang's mother immediately lost face, and checked around Zhang Guoqing several times before she was relieved. He held his hand again and said, "What's the matter, that shrew dares to bully you, so I'll tear her up first."
Zhou Jiao in the back room was also very anxious. She heard voices from afar but she didn't see anyone, and she didn't know where she was hurt. It's a woman and a shrew.
Zhou Jiao looked at her sleeping son and covered his ears with her hands. Suppressing his voice: "Brother, let's talk about it after you come in with your mother, and I'll take a look too."
When Zhang Guoqing's mother and son came in, they saw Zhou Jiao covering the children's ears in a weird way, suppressing her voice, and staring at them closely. He was relieved to see them come in.
"Mother, take a look at the things in the bag, and take them away if you need them. Put those pig's trotters and black-bone chicken in the kitchen, and put the baby's here first. I'm really tired today. I ran a lot of places in a row. In the morning on February 2 Sister ate steamed stuffed buns. They are all fine, and they came over on the third day of washing. Oh, Zhou's family also went, and something happened, and I will talk about it later when my father comes back."
Mother Zhang opened the bag, and when she came out with the things, she looked straight at this prodigal son. No amount of money is enough to go through such a toss, and I just told his father yesterday that I don't worry about him. See if you still have to talk to the two of them.
"Xiao Wu, so much, it costs a lot of money, right? You can't spend so much money, why do you buy so many white towels? You can use them up.
I have already prepared brown sugar and red dates, and I also have rice at home. Look at the rice you bought here. Is it a special offering? Can you buy so many pig's trotters and black-bone chicken? Ahhh, you prodigal son. You won't spend all your private money, will you? "
Zhang Guoqing and the two of them couldn't help laughing when they heard this. This diaper is better than the towels at home. Next time, I still need to buy some towels, otherwise it will be a joke if someone comes to visit. The two didn't dare to refute, they just lowered their heads and pretended to admit their mistakes. Zhang's mother knew that she was talking for nothing. No wonder the bag of diapers was taken away by the second daughter-in-law. This was planned long ago. Money is not such a loser. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing brought them back. If it was the other two sons, Zhang's mother would definitely take out a stick and greet them every two days. She had prepared that pack of diapers for more than half a year, and begged many people to get it together. Alas~ What should I do if the child is too prodigal.
"Mother, don't worry. These things are not expensive. I greeted my classmates a few days ago, and I just went to get them today. Oh, the white towel you mentioned is a diaper. No more rashes on the buttocks. The price is much cheaper than towels.
The two pig's trotters are for Jiaojiao's milk. Put red dates in this rice to make porridge to enrich the blood, brown sugar and red dates are best eaten by women, so I will buy more, not just for Jiaojiao alone, you will also eat it every day.
Two black-bone chickens are stewed. You and Jiaojiao can eat whatever you want, and I bought the black-bone chickens when I saw them. Two packs of milk powder, you take one pack and give it to the two girls at home. "
Zhang's mother felt that what her son said made sense, so she nodded, thinking it was wrong, she was turned into a ditch, and said angrily: "Good boy, you are fooling your old lady, you almost turned into a ditch Yes. It’s your daughter-in-law who is confinement, not my mother, so don’t move the two black-bone chickens.
I cleaned up the pig's trotters and then made up for Jiaojiao. Keep half of the rice. I asked your father to grind it into rice noodles for the children in the family. This rice is so good that it is also nutritious when ground into rice noodles. The rest is for Jiaojiao to cook jujube porridge. Mother is so old, there is no need to eat so well. "
Zhou Jiao shook Mother Zhang's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, if you don't even drink jujube porridge, how can I drink it? When I'm eating pig's trotters, I will see you eating vegetable nests; eating black-bone chicken You will see you drinking porridge with wild vegetables. As a result, your conscience will become more and more disturbed, and you will lose your appetite, and you will not be able to do well during the confinement period.
Let's drink together, or I won't drink if you burn it. You see, the little fifth brother is filial to you, and specially bought it for you to drink normally. As a result, you don’t drink it, and when he sees something that he originally wanted to buy for you, he suddenly remembers that you don’t want it, so he doesn’t buy it. If you do it more times, he will take it for granted, and when he sees something you like in the future, he will also think that you don't want it, so who will think of you in the future, do you think what I said makes sense?
You should be, Xiao Wu bought this, I want to eat it. Oh, Xiao Wu bought this one, and I wear it too. Xiao Wu felt that his vision was really good, and his mother liked everything he bought. They are really of one mind. Then I will be happy, and I will be happy to be filial to you. Do you think this is the reason? "
"Yeah, just listen to Jiaojiao. If you think you don't like what I buy, then I don't know what you want, so I have no choice but to not buy it. It's wrong to buy too much. It's good not to buy. Both Why do you raise a son like this?" Zhang Guoqing responded positively to Zhou Jiao's words, his mother is a typical good wife and mother, she wants to leave everything delicious to her children, and she is exhausted to see her own luck index. It's okay if the son is filial, but if he is wolf-hearted, he will only take it for granted.
After listening to the young couple's words, Zhang's mother felt that it made sense, but it was too subversive of her outlook on life. She thinks it's reasonable to communicate with the child's father.
These two children are foolish, coquettish, and intimidating. They are filial. No matter how they decide, the other children are just Xiao Wu and she is satisfied.
Seeing the two children staring at her nervously, she nodded her head in agreement. As for what she had in mind, only she knew. Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao touched each other's shoulders and smiled sweetly.
Zhang Guoqing looked at his son, he didn't wake up from such a big commotion, it will take some time before he wakes up, and the family members who are off work will be back soon, from early morning until now, a bowl of porridge and soaked urine are gone.
Turning her head to Zhou Jiao, she confessed, "Jiaojiao, while the baby is sleeping, you go to sleep first. My mother and I are going out to clean up, and Dad and the others are coming back."
Zhou Jiao nodded and watched Zhang Guoqing take out a pack of milk powder, baby bottles, and diapers, and then went out with Zhou's mother in the bag. She also took the time to sleep.
