Chapter 10 Why

The old lady didn't dare to make her son angry anymore, so she nagged her about some things about her eldest family, and said a lot of bad things about her eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Hu. She also said that the second room and her family should go to the big room for dinner in three days. That day is March 17, her fifty-sixth birthday.

"Sansheng, we won't invite outsiders, and the third family won't let them come back. Just the family and your family will have a meal together," the old lady said.

Chen Ming said with a smile, "My eldest brother and his family can't afford the money for my mother's birthday. I will bring fifty yuan to my mother when the time comes. Juan Niang also made me a long coat with many blessing characters embroidered on the collar." Wearing that dress, she must be more elegant than Mrs. Gao."

Mrs. Gao is the wife of Gao Lizheng. Gao Lizheng is not only Lizheng, but also the richest landowner in Xiangluo Village.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen beamed and said with a smile, "That's a good relationship. Mom knows that the second daughter-in-law is a capable person, so I don't love her in vain." Then she said, "Don't take the fifty cents, keep it and buy some more." The food is delicious and nourishes the body. Your third brother gave me a lot of pocket money, and I couldn’t spend it all. Here, this is fifty cents, and you gave it to your eldest brother in front of your sister-in-law. They are short-sighted.”

Chen Ming said hurriedly, "How can this be done?"

The old lady said, "Why not? The clothes made by your wife are worth a lot of money. They are nothing like the stick of your sister-in-law. It's rare to make clothes for your mother. She doesn't know how to embroider any flowers." Then, there was another burst. Chen Ming refused, but Mrs. Chen insisted.

It seemed that the old lady was angry, so Chen Mingcai continued.

The old lady walked for a while before Chen Afu walked out of the room. The afternoon sun was much brighter, causing Chen Afu to squint his eyes.

Chen Ming raised his head and smiled, "Afu is up?"

"Yes." Chen Afu nodded and sat on the small stool next to him.

Chen Ming asked again, "Your milk came just now, did you hear it?"

"Didn't hear that." Chen Afu shook his head.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your mother went to Guqiao Village to buy pig lungs. How would Ah Fu want to eat it?" Of the two nearby villages, only Guqiao Village had a pork stall. Pork in the town costs one penny per catty, so most villagers buy meat in the village.

Chen Afu had never eaten pig lungs in his previous life, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Chen Ming smiled again and said, "Then let your mother make pig lung soup, add less vegetables, it will be more fragrant."

The smile is clean and warm, like the warm sun in the sky.

Even if he is the biological father of this body, facing such a disabled daughter, this smile is very valuable. What's more, he is raising a daughter who has no blood relationship.

Chen Afu's admiration for him arose spontaneously.

Chen Afu pulled his sleeve and shouted, "Dad, from now on, I will honor you and make money to treat your illness." His nose was a little sore and his saliva started to flow again.

Chen Ming smiled and picked up the handkerchief on her chest to wipe her saliva and said, "Okay, dad will wait for that day."

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Wang led Chen Alu and Chen Dabao back, holding half a pair of pig lungs in their hands.

Chen Dabao ran over, hugged Chen Afu and said excitedly, "Mother, grandma bought pig lungs. Let's eat pig lung soup tonight."

Chen Ming's work didn't stop, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Well, let grandma put in less vegetables, it's delicious."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Okay, add some wolfberry. Not only will it be fragrant, but eating it will also be good for the boss."

At the dinner table, Chen Ming mentioned that Mrs. Chen was going to have a birthday on the 17th and asked the second room and his family to go to dinner.

Chen Alu smiled and nodded in agreement, but Chen Dabao frowned and raised his mouth. He hesitated for a moment and asked Chen Ming for his opinion, "Grandpa, can my mother and I not go? We would rather eat leftovers at home."

When Chen Alu saw it, he also said, "Forget it, Sister and Dabao don't go. Uncle Niang, Sister Aju, and Milk always scold them, and the words they say are unpleasant. At worst, I will bring some delicious food back for them." "

Although Chen Dabao is sensible, he is still young and wants to eat delicious food. When I heard that my uncle would bring them delicious food, I laughed heartily and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Mrs. Wang sighed and said to Chen Ming, "Why don't we take them two with us to avoid disturbing others' eyes?"

Chen Ming said disapprovingly, "It's okay if you don't go usually, but the 17th is my mother's birthday, so it's not good if you don't go." Then he touched Chen Dabao's head and said, "Grandma is just talking nonsense, but I still feel sorry for you. Although my eldest grandma and Aunt Aju don't like you very much, your eldest grandpa and uncle are still good to you. In the future, if you two want to establish yourself in the village, you will always have someone to help you, and your uncle alone will still be able to help you. Too thin. You are smart and reasonable. If you want to find a way to maintain a good relationship with them, as for Aunt Aju and others, stay away from them. "

"Not only did they speak badly, Aunt Aju would also pull my ears, and let Brother Dahu hit me. Once, they even pinched my mother secretly." Chen Dabao muttered.

Wang's eyes were red, and Chen Ming sighed and said to Chen Alu, "I went to your uncle's house and had a good look at your sister and Dabao." Then, he talked about how his uncle Chen Ye followed the widowed Chen Alu at a young age. The old lady went to work in the fields, and gritted her teeth and sold a few acres of land for Chen Ming and Chen Shi to study.

It can be heard from these words that Chen Ming has great feelings for Chen Ye.

Chen Alu and Chen Dabao both nodded in agreement.

Chen Afu wanted to see more of the world and get to know more of the people here, especially relatives. Not only do I not feel embarrassed, I really want to go. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." He comforted them and said, "I'm no longer stupid, and I won't be bullied."

After dinner, after reading books for more than an hour, everyone except Wang went to rest.

Lying on the bed, Chen Dabao's brows were still furrowed. Chen Afu stretched out his hand to wipe his brows and asked, "Going to the great-grandmother's house - is it difficult?"

The little boy pouted and said, "Well, it's okay if they scold me and pinch me. But they also scold and pinch my mother, and my son feels very uncomfortable."

"Why? They, the aunt, Aju - why do they hate us?" From the meaning of Mrs. Chen's words, only Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye knew that Chen Afu was not Chen Ming's biological daughter, and no one else knew.

The little boy pointed two thin fingers and said, "One is that my great-grandmother felt that my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother had supported my grandfather and my third uncle when he was a child, and that my grandfather spent more money on his studies and medical treatment than my third uncle. My third uncle knew how to repay his kindness, and built a big house for their family, and occasionally brought money back to show his filial piety. But not only can our family not give more money to the first house, but my great-grandmother would also secretly help our family."

He leaned his little head over again, covered his mouth with his little thin melon seeds and gossiped, "There is another more important reason. I heard from the people in the village that Aunt Aju wanted to marry Uncle Changsheng, but Uncle Changsheng didn't want to. Aunt Aju fell in love with an uncle from the neighboring village, but that uncle didn't want to either. My great-grandmother and Aunt Aju thought that it must be because my mother took Dabao as her son, which ruined the family tradition of the Chen family, that the good young man didn't want to marry Aunt Aju."

The little boy is really smart, and he expressed this matter vividly.
