Get together

Chen Yongchang was also a little surprised.

It's not that he hasn't seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law before, why is he like this now?
Seeing everyone's shocked eyes, Chen Zhiqiang was a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and explained palely: "Mom and Dad have always been in poor health and suffered from stomach problems, so they can't digest anything they eat, so they can only drink some rice porridge."

It was a bit embarrassing to be watched by so many people.

But not all the old people come here like this.

Not being able to work but having to eat, life at home was already difficult.

Food and drink are of course important to the children, and children are the hope for the future.

After a while, Liu Qionghua came in with a large pot of watery soup.

It looks quiet and has no appetite at all.

Although nothing can be done in such a short time, it is not so perfunctory.

And only a few grains of rice are clearly visible on the bottom of the basin.

"Hurry up and eat, don't be polite." Liu Qionghua still said polite words, and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

After walking for a day, Jing Jing was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

Without saying a word, she picked up the steamed buns on the table and handed them to the two children first.

She took two more points for her parents and Hongyuan.

There were more than a dozen steamed buns in the small basket on the table, which Liu Qionghua kept to eat slowly.

Seeing that most of it was lost all of a sudden, I couldn't smile anymore.

Jing Jing still wanted to get one for herself, but the steamed bun basket was already empty.

The two sons of the uncle's family, that is, her cousin, each held two steamed buns in their hands.

Take a bite to the left and a bite to the right.

To be honest, the two of them were older than her, so logically speaking, they should have started a family long ago.

It's just that the daughter-in-law has not been mentioned yet.

Just when An Jing was planning to drink only water, half a steamed bun was handed over to her.

Jing Jing smiled at Hong Yuan, took it and took a bite.

After dinner, it was getting late.

Apart from the kitchen, Chen Zhiqiang's house has four rooms, one for the husband and wife, one for the two sons, and one for Chen Jianbing and his wife.

Their room was converted from a utility room.

This is how the evening was arranged.

Chen Zhiqiang and his wife slept in one room, and his two sons slept in one room.

The remaining people have a room for men and a room for women.

Those who can't sleep can lay the floor in the room.

I didn't sleep well that night, but it wasn't too bad.

After all, after walking for a day, both adults and children are sleepy and tired.

He fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed.
-
Quiet is awakened by a burst of noise.

Early in the morning, I don't know who has been knocking and knocking, making harsh sounds.

Either it hit a bench, or it hit something.

Jing Jing frowned and opened her eyes, looking down, An An was staring at her with big eyes blinking.

The happy mood instantly replaced the irritability.

She lowered her head and kissed him: "When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake up mom?"

This child has really never worried her at all from birth to now.

Other people's children are crying and shouting, making troubles all day long, no matter how naughty they are.

Her An An is completely different from others.

Except for being spanked and crying for a while when he was just born, she had never seen him cry.

"Mom, pee." An An grabbed her hand and was about to get up.

Get up quietly and take him out.

After coming out, I found that everyone was up, and only she was sleeping in the room with her child.

She was puzzled, it was only six o'clock, why did she get up so early?

There is also cold wind blowing at the door.

"Xiaomei, you finally came back. I informed my second brother and fourth sister that we will have a good get-together at noon." Chen Zhiqiang said with a smile.

It is also time to bring up the issue of parents' pension in front of the whole family.

After all, his parents are not the only child, so it's not a problem to stay at his house all the time.

His daughter-in-law always used this matter to run on him, and his parents were also uncomfortable.

Chen Mei knows her elder brother best, so it seems that the lunch at noon today is not delicious.

Forget it, she couldn't bear her parents to live like this any longer.

In fact, when they were young, the relationship between their brothers and sisters was not very good. The mother valued sons over daughters, and all the good things in the family were left to the sons.

She and Simei have nothing.

If it weren't for her father not caring about these things, it is estimated that life for her and her sister would be even more difficult.

So when she grew up, she chose to marry so far away, and she didn't regret it at all.

But no matter how bad the parents were before, they were the ones who gave birth to her and raised her.

Seeing that they are not doing well, the discomfort in my heart is like a suffocation, which is stuck in my heart.

She hasn't been in a good mood since last night.

At about ten o'clock, An Jing saw her aunt Chen Yan.

She came here with her husband Liu Zhuang and two teenage daughters.

Jing Jing looked at the woman in front of her who was hugging and wiping her tears with her mother, and couldn't believe that there was only a five-year difference between the two.

Chen Yan looked ten years older than Chen Mei, her face was already full of wrinkles.

And that pale face was full of depression and sorrow.

It's not like her mother has wrinkles on her face, but they are not that serious.

The mentality of the two people is also different.

Coupled with the background of the clothes, her mother looked very young.

Then her quiet eyes fell on the man behind her aunt, her little uncle Liu Zhuang.

He looks even younger than my aunt, with a slightly higher brow bone, and always feels a little disdainful when looking at others.

He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.

The two children behind were even more timid and did not dare to raise their heads.

Obviously, in this family, men are dominant and women have no status at all.

"Don't you hurry up and cook?" Chen Zhiqiang urged Liu Qionghua.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and she sat in the yard without any movement.

Anyway, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he invited so many people to his house for dinner.

Talking about this, Liu Qionghua was full of anger. If there was something that he couldn't talk about in the morning and evening, he had to talk about it at noon.

How can she feed so many people?
"It's not like you don't know how much food you have at home? Where can I get you a big table of food?"

The voice is not low.

Anyone present who has ears can hear it.

Chen Zhiqiang felt that she was embarrassing him, so he picked up the broom beside him and wanted to beat her: "Are you going or not? Try talking nonsense to me again?"

Chen Yongchang quickly grabbed him.

Chen Mei also went forward to persuade: "Oh, you don't need to cook a lot of food. I brought you a lot of food yesterday, just use what I brought."

She brought over dozens of catties of rice noodles, and even three pieces of meat, which was enough for one meal at noon.

Liu Qionghua's eyes flickered, and she stopped arguing with Chen Zhiqiang.

Turn around and get busy in the kitchen.

She didn't intend to use the things that Chen Mei brought over to these people.

So many things have to be kept for myself to eat slowly.

I still have a lot of cornmeal at home, so I will use it at noon today.
