Chapter 524: A Man's Responsibility

Winter goes and spring comes.

Time passes by like a flash of time.

If you think about it carefully, they have indeed left their hometown for a long time. Since childhood, they have never left their home for such a long time.

When it comes to Yujing City, everyone is inevitably a little disappointed.

After hearing Bai Mingwei's words, everyone began to look forward to returning to Beijing again. The experience on the frontier was enough for them to chew for a lifetime. When they got old, they would come out and tell them in detail.

But despite so many passionate memories, they still miss the hometown where they gave birth to them.

Now they have nothing to ask for, just hope that things can go smoothly, and they can also return with their relatives' corpses and their spirits, so that their deceased relatives can return to their roots.

Ren suddenly sighed again: "When I go back this season, I am afraid I won't be able to catch up with the flower cakes made by the master. Somehow, I have always been thinking about that bite recently."

Gao Shi held her hand: "Second sister-in-law just misses her second brother, so she always remembers that stutter."

Ren smiled: "Maybe it is."

Seeing this, Gao became increasingly determined to make the cake for his second sister-in-law.

But at the same time, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it, so she did not express this idea to her.

So this matter was revealed.

The journey back to the general's mansion is not short, but it is not enough to miss homesickness.#@$&

While talking, everyone recalled their days in the capital. Time passed quietly. When the carriage stopped, everyone stopped talking and got off the carriage one after another.

The group came in with large bags of wild vegetables.

Several sisters-in-law didn't care about their fatigue and plunged into the kitchen.

Originally, they didn't want the Bai Mingwei sisters and Yu Jiao to participate, but they didn't want the sisters-in-law to take care of all the work, so they also went to the kitchen to help.

The kitchen of the guard general's mansion is not small, but they are busy inside, which still makes the spacious space extremely crowded.%&(&

Ren originally wanted to drive Bai Mingwei and Bai Xiuying out, those who couldn't cook, but two more people came.

Bai Yu and Xiao Chuanyi brought firewood and piled it neatly next to the stove.

Then, Bai Yu directed Xiao Chuanyi to help Tianchai.

Xiao Chuanyi hesitated a little: "Uncle Qi, Master said that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen."

Bai Yu asked him with a smile: "Do you know the source of this sentence?"

Xiao Chuanyi thought about it and then said: "From the "Letter of King Hui of Liang" in "Mencius".

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Mencius said, 'A gentleman is a bird and a beast. When he sees his life, he cannot bear to see his death; when he hears his sound, he cannot bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman is away from the kitchen."

"The meaning of this sentence is, 'A gentleman cannot bear to see them die when he sees them alive; he cannot bear to eat their meat when he hears them crying. Therefore, a gentleman always stays away from the kitchen.'"

"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen to advise the king to practice benevolence, rather than telling men to stay away from the kitchen. People eat grains and grains, women want to eat, and men also want to eat. Why do they have to cook, and men just wait to eat?

?”

"Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and pacify the world. Many men in this world talk about these things and look down on the trivial and complicated affairs of the family. In fact, they just use ambitions as excuses to be lazy."

Xiao Chuanyi turned his head: "Uncle Qi, you can't say that in front of the gentleman if you do this."

The gentleman was too lazy and just waited for food every day and didn't do anything at all.

Bai Yu patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Uncle Qi will respect his gentleman, so he will naturally not expose his shortcomings in front of him."

"But Uncle Qi must tell you today that as a man, you should take responsibility, the big responsibility for the rise and fall of the country, and the small responsibility for the harmony of the family."

"Although the two are different in size, there is no difference between severity and importance. Family responsibilities also include helping relatives/wife and children share their work."

Xiao Chuanyi nodded, not seeing whether he agreed with this view.

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do Chuanyi thinks about this matter?"

Xiao Chuanyi hesitated for a moment and told Bai Yu: "My mother always tells her father that the heroine is the inner and the male is the outer, and that the work at home is done by women. A real man should show his ambitions outside and not be trapped in the inner house."

Bai Yu reached out and pointed his head: "Your mother is right. A reasonable division of labor between husband and wife is also a way of life."

"But Xiao Chuanyi now has no wife who is willing to guard this family for your husband like your mother, but there are elders who work hard to help you get enough food and clothing. Should you share some things within your ability for them?"

Xiao Chuanyi nodded, then squatted in front of the stove and threw the firewood in.

Ren smiled and said, "Chuanyi is still young, how can we do these things? We can do it ourselves, it doesn't take much trouble. He might as well go to review the book if he has time."

Bai Yu said respectfully: "Second sister-in-law, the sense of responsibility must be cultivated from an early age. If you don't instill the idea of ​​family responsibility in this time, you may be a nerd who only knows how to read when you grow up."

When Ren saw that the little guy was clumsy and laborious, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Bai Mingwei advised her: "Second sister-in-law, no one can take care of him for the rest of his life. He must learn to be completely independent as soon as possible."

When Ren heard this, he stopped talking.

Who knows what kind of changes will happen in the future?

Chuanyi is now with them to take care of him, but what if Chuanyi can only rely on himself one day?

It is always right to learn more about life skills.

Bai Mingwei squatted to Xiao Chuanyi and told him: "There are also skills in burning firewood. You can't just put it in just like this. You have to leave some space so that the fire can burn more and more vigorously."

"It is easy to block it if stuffed, so the fire will be extinguished, causing the room to be filled with black smoke, choking and destroying eyes."

Xiao Chuanyi did as he said, and then asked, "How come the eldest aunt knows how to burn firewood?"

Bai Mingwei told him: "Everyone should understand this basic skill, just like Uncle Qi asked you to add Chai now, just to train you."

Xiao Chuanyi nodded and said nothing.

As soon as the fire in the stove was burned, Bai Yu asked him to wash vegetables again, and he didn't let the baby breathe.

When Ren saw that their uncle and nephew were happy, he didn't care.

She handed the flour to Bai Mingwei and arranged a task for Bai Mingwei and Bai Xiuying: "Beat ten eggs into it, then add some water and mix it into a paste for me."

Bai Ming asked in a microphone: "What do you want to do with your second sister-in-law? Is it a little more refreshing or thicker?"

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't give these arduous tasks to their sisters. Be careful that the egg flour is useless. I will make up Mingwei and I, and you can arrange things for the sixth girl."

When Ren heard this, he smiled knowingly, and then looked at Bai Xiuying who was standing beside him: "Miss Six Go and peel the skin of the sweet potato."

Bai Xiuying took the task and took the cleaned sweet potatoes to the kitchen door to peel them, making room for the busy people.

Bai Mingwei and Yu Jiao are responsible for kneading dough, and she is skilled in beating eggs, but she has only a few understandings of how much water is added.
