Chapter 9: Patriarchal 9
Han Ze woke up just after dawn. The eldest girl is going to the town to take the entrance exam for Xiao Shengchu today. He wants to make her breakfast. The eldest girl likes to eat vermicelli. The boiled old hen soup has vermicelli, vegetables, and mushrooms cooked in it. , dripping sesame oil, sprinkled green onion, and boiled two eggs for her.
Han Zhaodi thought she got up early, but she didn't expect her father to get up earlier than her.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, breakfast is ready." Han Ze said gently.
Han Zhaodi entered the stove, saw the chicken vermicelli soup and two eggs in a large bowl on the pot table, her eyes were sore, she sniffed and turned to wash.
Han Ze continued to cook other people's meals. Wu Hongmei was already out of confinement, so there was no need to avoid eating. He boiled porridge, steamed steamed buns, quickly fried two dishes, and cooked the meal. Wu Hongmei and a few girls hadn't woken up yet. .
Han Ze didn't intend to wait for them, so he picked some dishes, sat on the chopping board in the kitchen, and started to eat. We had a fair today, had dinner, sent Zhaodi to school, and he had to go to the town to sell noodles, so he was in a hurry.
After Han Zhaodi washed up, she came in and saw that there was only half a bowl of vegetables in front of her father. She pushed the vermicelli soup and eggs in front of him and said, "Dad, eat."
Han Ze swallowed the steamed buns without raising his head, and urged, "Hurry up, Dad will be full after drinking the porridge."
Han Zhaodi pursed her lips, took an egg, cracked and peeled it, and put it into her father's bowl. Seeing her father looking at her, she smiled brightly: "Two eggs, one for each person."
Han Ze glanced at the eggs in the bowl, and without making a sound, he lowered his head and ate the eggs.
After the meal, Han Ze took out 20 yuan and handed it to Han Zhaodi. Han Zhaodi was taken aback and asked, "What do you want me to do with the money?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Han Ze stuffed the money into her hand, and said, "You don't have to save for the exam today, you can buy whatever you want, and don't forget to buy water when you're thirsty."
Han Zhaodi tightly held the money in her hand, this was the first time her father gave her pocket money.
Han Ze pushed the bicycle and called out, "Let's go, I'll take you to school."
"Father doesn't need to send it." Han Zhaodi whispered with her schoolbag on her back. She is so old that she doesn't need to rely on her elders for everything. She just went to the town to take an exam. There are so many classmates in the school. Dad is too cautious. Even so, she There was an unconscious smile on his face.
"Today's entrance exam, special circumstances, let dad send you to school."
Han Ze was riding a bicycle, and Han Zhaodi was sitting in the back seat, with a small smile on her lips, her hands clenched into fists to cheer herself up, her father cared so much about her studies, she would definitely be admitted to the experimental class of Shuangji Middle School.
When they arrived at the school, the students in the graduating class were all waiting for the school bus on the playground. Han Ze followed Han Zhaodi to their class. A girl called Han Zhaodi, and Han Zhaodi smiled and waved to his father, "Dad, I'm going. "
Han Ze smiled and said, "Go, Dad is leaving too."
Watching the back of his daughter running away, the smile on his face gradually faded. He just noticed that most of the students were wearing new clothes and shoes, but some students didn't wear new clothes, and the clothes on their bodies were also half-new, which could be worn out.
As for Zhaodi's trousers, he knew they were patched, and the toe of the cloth shoes on his feet had also been worn out...
Business was relatively good today. Han Ze closed the stall early and bought vegetables as usual. When he returned home, he saw that there was no one at home. He took out his key, opened the door and put the vegetables in the kitchen. He asked the neighbors next door, and only then did he know about the third brother’s family. After returning from the county seat, Wu Hongmei and the others were all at the second child's house.
When Han Ze arrived at the second child's house, Wu Hongmei was cooking in the kitchen, and the second girl was lighting the fire. Han Hai's daughter-in-law and Han Yang's daughter-in-law were sitting in the main room chatting with Mrs. Han. Where is fifth girl?"
Wu Hongmei was chopping vegetables, and said with a smile: "The fifth girl is in the second younger brother's hall, and the third girl is guarding."
Han Ze was stunned. The third girl is six years old this year and she goes to preschool. She doesn't understand anything. How can she let her look after the child? Even letting the second girl look after the child is better than the third girl. Suddenly the cry of a child came from the room.
Han Ze turned around and strode to the main room. He saw a scene that made his eyes tear open. Han Xuchen from the third brother's family and Han Haoran from the second brother's family each poked the fifth girl's face and feet with a stick, while sitting in the main room The second and third younger siblings, as well as Mrs. Han, ignored them, allowing them to poke the fifth girl and let her cry endlessly.
Han Ze stepped forward with a blank face, ignoring the greetings from the third sibling, pushed the two boys away, carefully picked up the fifth girl, picked up the soles of the shoes, and slapped the soles of the two boys on their buttocks.
Han Xuchen and Han Haoran didn't expect their uncle to beat them. They sat on the ground and howled, but Mrs. Han jumped up and shouted angrily, "How do you beat the child? How do you beat the child?
As he said that, he was going to catch Han Ze, but Han Ze ran away with the child in his arms. Mrs. Han stepped forward angrily, and slapped Han Ze on the face.
Han Ze's eyes were red, as if he couldn't believe his mother beat him.
After the slap, Mrs. Han was stunned, a little regretful, and wanted to apologize, but she was his mother, how could a mother apologize to her son, so she faltered for a long time without saying a word.
Han Hai's daughter-in-law felt proud when she saw her eldest brother being beaten. Thinking of her elder brother beating her son, she said sullenly, "Brother, tell me if the child is wrong, and I will teach them a lesson. How can I tire you out."
Han Yang's daughter-in-law was a little surprised. For the sake of her grandson, the mother-in-law was even willing to beat her son. Seeing her crying son, she hugged him with distressed expression, thinking that she deserved to be beaten by her mother-in-law, her voice choked up: "Chenchen is at home every day. I kept thinking about my grandma and my uncle, and I came all the way to see my uncle, but I was beaten, and I will never come back next time, so as not to be angry when I come back.”
Han Ze remained silent, but hugged the fifth girl in his arms tightly, as if he hadn't recovered from Mrs. Han's slap.
Han Hai's daughter-in-law and Han Yang's daughter-in-law felt a little guilty when they saw his sad appearance, and then they were thankful that the one who scratched was their own family members, and fortunately, it was the fifth girl who was scratched. If it was the children who were scratched, the mother-in-law would not be angry with the children, but would be angry with their daughter-in-law, blaming them for not being good to the children.
After a while, Han Ze looked at them, and said with red eyes, "The two boys are my nephews. They made a mistake. I taught them a lesson. Could it be that I taught them something wrong? If you blame me like this, then I have to ask Han. Hai Hanyang, as an uncle, can I discipline my nephews, if not, I will never care about them from now on."
"Why don't you care about them from now on?" Han Hai and Han Yang came in from the outside and asked with a smile when he heard what his elder brother said.
Han Ze held the fifth girl in his arms, looked at the two younger brothers, as if he had been greatly shocked, and asked word by word: "Second and third, ask yourself, how do I treat my nephews?"
"It must be the pain of being a son." Han Hai said dryly.
"Brother, I always think about them if there is anything delicious and useful at home, and I treat them better than my nieces. Don't worry, brother, they will be filial to you in the future. If they don't, I can't spare them." It sounds better.
"Yes, yes." Han Hai followed suit.
Han Hai looked at them and said blankly: "No, you are wrong, I don't love them, I still abuse and beat them, so mother blames me, brothers and sisters blame me, everyone blames me."
Han Hai: "..."
Han Yang: "..."
Han Ze's eyes were wet, and his honest face was full of injuries: "I understand it, just because I don't have a son, anyone can spoil me, and it's fine if they spoil me. What's wrong with a few girls, even my cousin wants to hurt me!" Bullied them, got scratched in the face, can't even mention it?"
Han Yang didn't know what happened, but the two children, Han Xuchen and Han Haoran, were crying in the room. There was a slap mark on the elder brother's face, and a long scratch on the face of the fifth girl in his arms. He could roughly guess what happened. What happened, the two boys must have caused trouble.
In the past, the boys in the family often bullied the maids of the elder brother's family. At that time, the elder brother didn't care, but stood on the side of the boys, so the boys thought that the girls could be bullied casually. Now that the eldest brother cares, the balance is broken, so there will be trouble.
Sighing, he said to Han Ze: "Brother, we are all one family, we don't want to spoil anything, it hurts our feelings."
It's really a headache for honest people to be stubborn.
Han Ze was very sad: "What kind of family, you are the family, we are outsiders. Look at the scratches on the fifth girl's face, it's Xu Chen and Hao Ran's scratches, I'll teach them a lesson, Brothers and sisters blame me, mother hates me, I am that redundant person."
Han Ze's words made Mrs. Han, who was guilty of beating him, angry, and shouted loudly: "It doesn't matter if the little girl scratches a little skin, it's worth beating them when you get angry, and see how they will cry!" , sorry to see you."
Han Ze hugged the fifth girl and lowered his head, didn't speak, acting like his mother did whatever he wanted.
Both Yuanshen and Mrs. Han were very patriarchal. Mrs. Han said that Yuanshen had no sons, so he could only let his nephews take care of them in the future, and told Yuanshen to treat his nephews better, otherwise the nephews would not support him in the future.
Yuanshen obeyed Mrs. Han's words like an imperial decree, and sent any delicious food at home to her nephews, without any regard for the daughters in the family. The harmony of this family was bought by Yuanshen's efforts.
It is impossible for the current Han Ze to favor his nephew while leaving his own daughter indifferent like the original body. He is used to the other two wives paid by the elders. Facing the eldest wives who no longer care about them, sooner or later there will be conflicts.
Thinking of this, Han Ze said sadly: "Yes, girls deserve to be injured. In fact, they shouldn't be born. Now that they are born, they deserve to be bullied by cousins. Who made them girls? Who made their lives worthless? , who made them have no brothers? They all blame me, why don't I have a son..."
Han Hai and Han Yang didn't quite look like what his elder brother said. Han Yang frowned and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Who said that a niece's life is worthless?"
Han Ze looked at him, smiled lowly, and said, "From now on, their lives are worth a lot."
Han Hai and his wife, Han Yang and his wife, and Mrs. Han suddenly had a bad feeling.
Han Ze wiped his face and said with a sneer: "Whoever's child hurts, I don't have a son, so I raised my daughter as a son. My daughter is sensible, filial, and hardworking. I don't know how much better than those boys who only know how to eat and drink. Times, I want them all to go to college, and I want to earn money to buy them a house, and then no one will dare to say that their lives are cheap, and anyone who wants to bully can bully them."
Mrs. Han pointed at her eldest son tremblingly, unable to say a word.
Han Yang said helplessly, "Brother, there is really no need for this between brothers."
It's true that you can't provoke an honest person if you provoke anyone. When an honest person rises, no one can stand it.
Han Ze said again: "Second and third, let your daughter-in-laws rest assured, I will never beat your children again."
Han Hai said in a daze: "You don't plan to take care of them anymore?"
Han Ze said, "They are your sons, not mine."
Han Yang looked at his eldest brother and persuaded him: "Brother, they are your nephews, you don't care about them, who cares about them, and they will give you a pension in the future? Let's not say something angry, it hurts the peace."
He only thought that the elder brother was beaten by his mother, and he was talking angry when he was hurt. How could the elder brother not care about the boys.
Han Ze looked at him and said, "Who said that was an angry word? Not only did I not say an angry word, but I plan to recruit in the future. My own children, I can discipline them as I want. No one dares to say anything. With today's situation Look, I don't dare to expect my nephews to support me in the old age."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the people in the room to respond, hugged the fifth girl, and pulled the third girl to go outside, passing the kitchen, and called Wu Hongmei and the second girl away by the way.
Wu Hongmei was cooking in the kitchen. She didn't know what happened in the main room. She was called away by the man, which was a bit inexplicable, but she always listened to men. Since the man asked her to go home, she would go home.
