Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Chapter 6



When the second cousin came back with his wife, the couple looked very unhappy.

It was obvious that they had quarreled on the way.

He Qiang wanted to apologize, but how could Grandma He let her grandson suffer?

Grandma He grabbed He Qiang and yelled at her eldest daughter-in-law:"You, as a mother, don't take good care of your family? How can you be the head of the family?" The eldest aunt was so upset that she didn't dare to talk back, so she had to walk over with a dirty face and took the couple to the kitchen at the back.

The farce was over, and the family finally restored harmony under the noise of the children.

The whole family who were not busy started chatting. Grandma He was entangled by her children and grandchildren at this moment, and she couldn't stop laughing. Her face was greatly satisfied. It was almost time to start the meal.

Grandma He told her eldest daughter-in-law:"There are too many crucian carp bones, so don't go to the table with the children. Go and talk to the busy people inside! Several men want to drink, and there are not many shrimps, so give them some wine."

Are rural children afraid of too many bones?

Liu Juan knew that it was definitely Old Lady He's partiality that had come back.

Who else would come up with the idea of asking her second daughter-in-law to pick Patchouli leaves except for the lazy He Qiang?

When the meal started, the children were assigned to a table, waiting eagerly for the dishes to be served.

"I want shrimp!!"

"I want to eat crabs!"

""Eat fish, eat fish!"

Wu Shuhua and several sisters-in-law carried plates and served dishes, attracting cheers from a group of children.

Because there were so many people, Wu Shuhua and several sisters-in-law, as the younger generation, did not sit at the table, and went to the children's side to eat with their own children.

However, even so, because it was inconvenient to pick up the dishes, the dishes were divided into several portions so that everyone in the three rooms could eat.

"Come on, little one, don’t you want to eat fish?"

As soon as Mrs. He arrived, she put the biggest crucian carp in front of her into He Qiang's bowl.

There were originally three fish, one for each family.

In the end, He Yongjun watched his own mother give all the fish to her son.

The two older brothers, He Aiguo and He Jianguo, pretended not to see anything and buried their heads in eating.

No one at the table ate rice, as they all wanted to eat more meat and put more oil and water into their stomachs.

In the sauerkraut made from grass carp, no one touched the sauerkraut and tofu, only Mrs. He occasionally ate some tofu.

Except for He Qiang who was still sipping his wine happily, the others were busy drinking.

He Qiang wanted to clink glasses with everyone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to, as they were all eating.

But after all, they had all eaten dinner, and there was plenty of oil and water and all meat, so soon everyone slowed down.

Seeing that He Qiang was eating the fried river shrimp with green onions, and seeing that he was enjoying it with the wine, Mrs. He simply brought the small bowl of river shrimp to her good grandson.

Anyway, the other two families also had a bowl each

""Mom!"

He Yongjun cried out loudly.

"Then the fish can't fill your mouth, why are you yelling! Isn't it my youngest son who has you to eat!"

Old Mrs. He scolded unceremoniously.

He Qiang hurriedly tried to smooth things over:"Grandma, I will catch fish every day in the future!"

Old Mrs. He smiled and praised:"I knew you were the most filial."

The three cousins were almost choked.

They are all grandsons, why is there such a big difference?

The second cousin had wrongly blamed He Qiang because of his wife before, and now he wanted to ease the relationship, so he said:"Qiang boy, are the fish and shrimps in the river so easy to catch now? Can you take me to try later?" At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears.

Although they are all blood relatives, how dare He Qiang expose such a thing as cheating casually?

So facing the expectant eyes of the second cousin, He Qiang had to spread his hands and said:"You also know that I often go fishing and catching shrimps since I was a child. Today I am very lucky. I am also very surprised. If you are free, let's go and try later?"

This immediately dispelled everyone's thoughts.

Old Mrs. He didn't mind. She took He Qiang's hand and said with concern:"It's okay. Grandma is satisfied as long as you have this intention. It doesn't matter whether you can catch the fish."

He Qiang said obediently:"Grandma, I can't go to the fields, but I will definitely respect you well. Just wait and see!"

Everyone at the table wanted to roll their eyes.

You are just talking nicely, but I have never seen you do anything since you were a child!

He Yongjun didn't want to talk anymore. Seeing that there were more fish, he simply took the bowl to the side and added a big bowl of rice to eat.

Old Mrs. He said unhappily:"Eat slowly, you are starving!"

He Yongjun almost choked to death.

On the other side, Wu Shuhua was holding He Tiantian and eating crabs, and both mother and daughter were smiling. The youngest daughter

-in-law was in the limelight today, and the sisters-in-law who had taken advantage of her were more polite.

However, the second daughter-in-law was upset today, and couldn't help but said to Wu Shuhua:

"Xiaohua, your husband has really changed his nature. You have endured these years, I am afraid it is time for you to enjoy your life."

Wu Shuhua whispered,"Second sister-in-law, He Qiang was taken care of by your family before, and now he is able to do so, isn't that thinking of everyone? He was really not nice before, today I apologize to you."

Seeing Wu Shuhua being so polite, the second cousin's wife felt embarrassed again, and she held back all the words she wanted to say, her face flushed. The eldest and third cousins pretended not to hear and buried their heads in eating.

It's not that they haven't eaten fish before, it's just that there are a lot of people in the family, and there are a lot of children.

It is said that the teenagers eat their parents out of money, and the good ones are given to the head of the family and the children first. It is really rare that they can eat as much as they want now.

This is because the He family is slightly better off and has enough power in the team.

Even the children of the He family usually have thick porridge at worst!

Those families with a little difficulty, the children don't have to eat during the busy farming season. If you want to eat your fill, the porridge is so thick that you can even reflect your reflection. All the dry food must be fully supplied to the family's labor force first, otherwise the harvest will be delayed and the family will only be starving!

The second cousin's wife Yu Li was bored, and now she began to eat like crazy.

But what made Yu Li very uncomfortable was that she couldn't eat much after eating.

After all, the He family still had no shortage of food, and they would not be hungry during meals. In the evening, she drank two large bowls of sticky porridge. At this time, facing a table full of fish and crabs, she felt that it was stuffed up her throat.

Seeing this, Wu Shuhua smiled and said,"Sisters-in-law, this heavenly dish cannot be left out. There are still many left. Take them back."

""Thank you so much, Xiaohua!"

Yu Li blurted out, and after she reacted, she didn't even dare to look Wu Shuhua in the eye.

She even forgot to politely refuse!

It was so embarrassing!

But Wu Shuhua didn't laugh at Yu Li, but continued to lower his head and pick up half of the crab for He Tiantian, and gently reminded her:

"Eat slowly and remember to spit out the shells."

The fifth child, Yu Li's youngest son, was envious and muttered to his brother,"Why is my mom so fierce?" The eighth child, the third child's daughter, blinked and asked curiously,"Wu Guo, is auntie fierce?!"

Children speak without restraint. The third child's daughter is even one year younger than He Tiantian and had no intention of whispering.

So everyone at the table heard it.

"Oh my god!"

"I was wrong!!!"

Soon, Lao Wu's crying sounded throughout the courtyard.
