Chapter 28 Let's be full
Acer's father's words gave Acer a sense of comfort. Someone still knew about his grievances.
Even though their father had spoken like this, Ye Shuzhen and Ye Shuzhi did not dare to speak. They buried their heads in eating.
Mr. Lai spent so much money today, why would he spend his time eating? He ate quickly and ate the last rice cake in the pot.
Hongji felt that he had finally gained strength after eating dry rice today. When he returned to the room, he saw that his eldest daughter had already fed the younger daughter, and the other daughters were licking the bowl with their tongues.
Acer sighed in his heart, the children usually didn't have enough to eat, but once they had meat to eat, they even licked the bowl clean.
Acer lets the children go to bed with a full meal.
But Da Ya silently took her bowl and her sister's bowl out, knowing that the bowls on the kitchen table must not have been washed.
When Da Ya came to the kitchen, the bowls in the kitchen were not cleared away and there was no one in the kitchen. He silently cleared the bowls, wiped the table and washed the dishes.
Da Ya returned to the room and did not take a nap. Her mother went to work as a maid. Without her mother to help sew the clothes of her father and sisters at home, the lights were too dark at night, so she could only sew them during her lunch break.
Mend torn clothes.
Of course, Da Ya learned her skills from Li. She can mend clothes, embroider handkerchiefs, and make shoes, but it would be a bit difficult for her to make clothes.
Erya followed and learned from the side. Luhong is a craft that every girl must learn. Except for Siya and Wuya, these three sisters were holding needles and threads in their hands, making small handkerchiefs, and wanted to embroider simple flowers on the handkerchiefs.
There are some silk threads that my mother brought back when she came back last time.
The fourth child watched his sisters sewing for a few times and fell asleep while watching them.
Ye Shiqi was more than three months old and didn't get much sleep. She felt dizzy and fell asleep looking at the female celebrity who knew nothing about it.
Erya and Sanya were not as good as Daya in their craftsmanship. They just used needles and threads and rags to learn, and the things they embroidered were crooked.
Da Ya was on the side and continued to give pointers. She became a master when her mother was gone, and she had to teach her sisters every bit of life.
Dinner was still cooked by Lai, and there were vegetables cooked with lard residue on the table. This time Lai was a little smarter and gave only one piece of meat to her son and two pieces to her husband, the old man, and then the three of them, mother and daughter, divided it among themselves.
A piece of meat, children can only look at it.
Daya and her four sisters brought dry rice and some vegetables. They ate the meat-cooked vegetables happily, and then brought the little sister's bowl into the room.
Ye Shiqi's three-month-old baby, if it is normal, should only have two or three teeth, or six teeth, and some may not have teeth until eight or nine months old.
But she already has eight teeth, all of which are front teeth. She can only eat dry food with her front teeth.
At least it is better to have dry food to eat than water.
I found out that the rice used for drying rice was bought by Lai from the town. She was a stingy grandma and spent a lot of money to buy things.
Ye Shiqi said in her heart that her mother earned the money to buy things by working, so they should be fed well and clothed warmly.
After dinner, Ye Shuying came to her parents' yard again with a stick of fire.
Daya is washing dishes in the kitchen, and Erya is also helping to cook pig rice.
Sanya was accompanying Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister was in the room.
Acer and his father took advantage of the dim light of the oil lamp to finish the last bit of work.
When Mr. Lai was full, he went back to his room to eat melon seeds.
Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen also went into the room to eat melon seeds with their mother. These melon seeds were bought by Mrs. Lai from the town. Only then did she realize that there were melon seeds in them. She thought they were gifts from her future son-in-law. Mother ate happily and did not think about home at all.
There are also dolls.
"Dad, eldest brother, mother, second sister, third sister."
Ye Shuying stood in the yard, looking at the family members who saw her coming. Her mother and sisters didn't ask her to eat melon seeds, and she felt a little annoyed.
"Shuying is here!" Acer said calmly, understanding that this sister must be here to help.
"Dad, brother, you must come to harvest the rice at our house tomorrow!" Ye Shuying did not expect her mother and two younger sisters, she only hoped that her brother and father, who had always loved her, would soften their hearts.
"No, our family will also be harvesting rice tomorrow. Let's finish the work at home first. Besides, your sister's dowry hasn't been made yet, and our family is also very busy."
Acer's father has long distinguished his own interests at home with his daughter.
"Shuying, you've seen it too. We've been working all night and we're really busy. How about you come and help? After we finish the work at our house, we'll go to your house to work again. This way we can help each other."
In the past, Acer's sister said she wanted to help and asked him to take his wife to help. The couple helped out for the sake of their sister, and they didn't even have a meal to help with the work. The stingy in-laws already knew this.
Acer only learned about some of the work his wife did after Mr. Li went to work as a helper. Now he is very tired from doing it, and his conscience feels that he has wronged his wife.
Acer feels a little guilty because he values the baby at home a little more than before, so he talks back when his parents and sister talk about the baby.
"Dad, brother, why are you so cruel? Mom, you don't even talk to them. You don't even come to help take care of the children now. Don't you like my son the most?"
Ye Shuying couldn't talk to her father and brother. She saw her mother and two younger sisters continuing to eat melon seeds, and while eating melon seeds, she looked at her without saying anything, and she felt hatred in her heart.
"Shuying, you also know a lot of things at home. Your sister-in-law has gone to be a wet nurse. Without her, there is so much work in the house. As the saying goes, a married daughter throws away water. You can figure it out by yourself at home.
Bar!"
In the past, there was Mrs. Li in the family, and most of the things were done by her husband and wife. Mrs. Lai and her two daughters had nothing to do at all. In the past two months, Mrs. Li had gone to work as a helper, and she and her daughters were very busy at home.
Did it.
During the busy farming season, this is the family's food. No one has the selfish intention to take care of his own family's food first, not even his own daughter.
"Uuuu, are you still my family?" Ye Shuying squatted in the yard and cried.
"Shuying, didn't your brother just say that? Our two families help each other. After all, this is your natal family. We go to help you with work, but your family doesn't come to help. This is unreasonable. You still have the nerve to cry."
Acer's father has accumulated a lot of resentment towards his son-in-law. This resentment has been accumulated over the past few years due to the things his son-in-law has done.
In other families, the son-in-law came to his father-in-law's house to help. The husband-in-law married by Ye Shuying asked his parents' family for help every day, but he never bothered to come to his parents' house to help.
"Dad, my husband-in-law said he wants to be a construction worker. He only has two days to do the farm work. If you don't come to help, our family won't be able to finish it. He can't finish the work at home, so why will he come to help?"
Ye Shuying found an excuse to explain that her husband-in-law actually used the extra time to rest at home after asking his mother-in-law to help him with the work. This had been the case for the past few years. She also felt sorry for her husband who was tired from working outside in construction.
"Don't you see? Are your father and your brother busy? Doesn't he have an eldest sister who also works overtime in the village? Let his eldest sister help. You can't just let our family help. We are also relatives and we help too much.
