Chapter 3: old woman 3
After some beatings, Ning Qiu's complexion was much better, but the eyes were hooked, and neither adults nor children dared to act rashly.
At the same time, it was placed in the middle of the dining table, the greedy chicken aroma made my saliva drool with greed, and a grunt sounded.
The meals at home are always distributed by the old lady.
Ning Qiu is here now, and it is not easy to change this behavior, and sharing food has the benefits of sharing food, at least some people can eat it.
Chicken soup is a bowl per person, and the chicken is also divided into pieces according to the output of labor.
Today's dinner, everyone ate their mouths full of oil, filling their appetites, even if each room was a little careful, they sighed contentedly at this time, not wanting to think about those who don't have it.
After drinking the last sip of soup, Zhang Xiaobao, the only baby in the third room, licked his lips and fantasized: "If only chicken was eaten every day, that would be great."
Zhang Youcai rubbed his round belly and said happily, "Silly son, I don't have the luxury of eating chicken every day, once every six months, I'm already very satisfied."
"Dad, you really didn't pursue it." Zhang Xiaobao complained strangely, and then looked at Ning Qiu again, finished smiling, and said sweetly: "Milk, I will also be filial to the milk in the future, Let milk have chicken every day."
Although Zhang Xiaobao is only four years old, his little mouth completely follows Zhang Youcai and his wife, and even goes a step further. He has an excellent talent for flattering.
This is also the main reason why the old lady is so used to this little grandson, no matter what her thoughts are, who doesn't like to be coaxed by good words.
"Come on, I didn't expect your father, and I still expect you." Ning Qiu is not the original, so he didn't answer this question, and even wanted to laugh.
Children always learn to behave like adults. It must be that Zhang Xiaobao watched a lot of Zhang Youcai coaxing the old lady, and he also learned a lot.
They can't say why.
According to the promise, Ning Qiu gave Zhang Youfu a piece of candy, but he waved his hand again and again, "Mother, this is expensive food, I won't eat it, just leave it to the children. it is good."
When parents, they will always leave good things to their children subconsciously. This is human nature.
"You can eat a few small ones, and you'll be full of saliva." Ning Qiu glared at him and put it into his mouth strongly, " You are their father, and I am your mother. They are your son, and you are my son."
She has never been a mother, but she seems to feel the old lady's love for her children. Although the fingers of a slap can be long or short, love is certain. There is no mother who does not love the child she gave birth to in October.
In an instant, Zhang Youfu's eyes were rosy, and he quickly lowered his head to cover up the strangeness, not wanting to be seen by this stupid appearance, it would ruin the image of the master.
However, this candy is even sweeter today.
"Mother, I am also your son, and I want it too." Zhang Youcai quit, he felt that his status was threatened.
Ning Qiu rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "What is in your mouth, is it a stone?"
Zhang Xiaobao pointed at his cheeks and said funny: "Haha, daddy is ashamed, daddy is ashamed."
"Mother, you eat too."
Hearing this, Ning Qiu was a little surprised. This second child is the most taciturn of the three sons.
But I didn't expect it to be such a person, noticed that she didn't eat candy, and stayed for her.
I have to say that although the three sons of the old lady are a little careful, they are still very filial to the old lady.
"There is still one in the mother's house. When I took it out, I already ate a piece. These are all for you." Of course Ning Qiu refused, she was not greedy for these things, and the old man still Don't eat too sweet things, it's not good for your body.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yougui insisted, "Mother, there are only a few pieces of sugar left, you definitely didn't eat it."
This seems to be the longest sentence he has said in a few days, but his mind is extraordinarily delicate.
Ning Qiu deliberately bluffed her face, "My mother is too old to eat these things. Eat what is given to you. If you don't eat it, I will give it to your third brother."
For the time being, it seems that these cheap sons are okay, there is room for education. Since she was called "mother", she couldn't shirk her responsibility.
"Second brother, what are you babbling about? If you don't eat it, leave it to me. Anyway, there is still room in my stomach. If there is no room, I will make it up." Zhang Youcai heard this, As soon as he stretched out his grip, he was about to take it away.
Zhang Yougui glanced at him, and when Zhang Youcai's hand was about to touch, he stuffed the sugar into his mouth with his backhand, the sweetness spread in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were faintly smeared. A shallow smile, the candy given by my mother is sweet!
Older people are always prone to sleepiness, and their bodies are not as strong as young people.
Ning Qiu said a few words, then got up and went back to the room.
Not long after, the eldest granddaughter Zhang Xiaohong came in with a basin of hot water, and first waited on Ning Qiu to wash her face, and then she helped wash her feet.
Ning Qiu did not refuse to take care of her granddaughter. She gradually felt the joy of living in the old age at this age.
Ning Qiu looked down at her and asked, "Xiaohong, your parents have the idea of letting you go to the girls' school."
Before the old lady only cared about her grandson's future, and would not intervene in her granddaughter's affairs, so she doesn't know much about the situation of several girls now.
"...milk, I don't know either. My parents never mentioned these things to me." Zhang Xiaohong didn't expect her grandmother to ask her about her situation. She was surprised, but she said it honestly. .
She is Zhang Youfu's daughter, who is two years younger than Zhang Congming, and is now nine years old. At the age of nine, she is already a half-year-old girl in the village, and she will be engaged in a few years.
Ning Qiu asked again, "What about yourself, do you want to go to the girls' school?"
Sheng Dynasty is not fashionable, women are virtuous, and there are women's schools, but the content of learning is not as extensive as that of men, only reading and writing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery, housekeeping and other aspects of life thing.
