Chapter 19: Patriarchal 19
Sister Han has a soft temper, and the lonely back of her elder brother makes her feel unbearable. After all, Han Ze is her own younger brother. Will she be too cruel to him as an older sister? She hesitated and said: "Just now, we are Shouldn't you say that?"
Second Sister Han thought of what they did just now, and she would definitely not be able to stand it if her brothers and sisters treated her like this, so she pursed her lips and asked uncomfortably, "Then what should I do?"
"What should I do? The eldest brother is a stickler, and he must be made aware of the seriousness of the matter. The noodle stall is not making money, so why keep it open? Everyone knows what to do, so the eldest brother admits to death and thinks that his cooking skills are very good. That's great, everyone has to support him." Han Xilan rolled her eyes and hummed, "You two are the only ones who are soft-hearted, and it's time for Big Brother to learn a lesson."
Sister Han and Second Sister Han looked at each other, but they didn't speak. They also thought that the eldest brother should close the noodle stall. The purpose of setting up the stall is to make money. If you don't make money, can you make it look good?
But Han Ze is their eldest brother, and their purpose is to make the eldest brother give up selling food and prevent him from losing money, instead of having conflicts with him, threatening him, and making him sad.
What they did just now was obviously wrong. They should explain to the eldest brother that they will lose money if the noodles are sold too expensive, and let him know that they are sincerely doing him good, not harming him. Presumably he will not close the noodles Stalls, brothers and sisters won't be so ugly.
For a while, the two sisters regretted the impulsiveness just now.
At this time, Han Hai and his wife came back from outside. Han Xilan glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Second brother and second sister-in-law, do you know that eldest brother has a noodle stall in town?"
The meaning of the joke in the tone is very strong.
"I know, everyone in the village knows that brother has set up a noodle stall in the town."
Han Hai smiled. Not only did he know that Big Brother had a noodle stall in the town, but he also knew that the noodles on Big Brother’s noodle stall cost ten yuan a bowl. Some time ago, he went to the town to go to the market and took a look at the stall from afar. Perhaps because there was no business, the eldest brother closed the stall before ten o'clock.
At that time, he was concerned about his eldest brother's face, so he didn't go forward to ask. The eldest brother was at home during this time, and he thought that the stall had long been closed.
Han Xilan said again: "Brother sells noodles for ten yuan a bowl. Do you think he is crazy about money? There is no business at the stall. We suggested that he close the noodle stall, but he is still not happy."
Big Sister Han and Second Sister Han frowned slightly, how could a younger sister say that about her brother.
Han Hai was very surprised and asked, "Isn't Big Brother at home recently?"
I didn't see him go to town.
Han Xilan rolled her eyes: "He was still setting up a stall in the town this morning. He didn't have any business, and he didn't know what the meaning of the stall was. If he was stubborn, no one could persuade him."
That tone contained a strong dislike and contempt for Han Ze.
Han Hai's daughter-in-law glanced sideways at her sister-in-law. Although she was not the one who made fun of her man, she was still chilled. She was not chilling for her elder brother, but for her own family.
The eldest brother is honest and honest, and he gave his sister-in-law his heart and soul. He paid most of the tuition fees for the four years of college. Now that the sister-in-law graduated from university, she turned around and refused to recognize anyone. Let her go to college.
The sister-in-law's attitude towards her elder brother as if she was watching a show made her think more. Now her mother-in-law lives in their house, and after her sister-in-law comes back, she will also live in their house with her mother-in-law. Uncomfortable, no one wants to rely on more than one person in the family, let alone a white-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf can use them now, curry favor with them, and won't need them in the future, maybe he will dislike her and Han ocean.
Although they are not afraid of her disgust, they are also intimidating.
What's more, when the mother-in-law is not around, she can do whatever she wants. Now not only is there an extra mother-in-law who rules the world, but also a little girl who is a troublemaker. What, she thought, there must be nothing good to mutter about, the sister-in-law is not good, and she made her mother-in-law sick within a few days after coming back, maybe something will happen in the future.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes, and no matter what, she had to find a way to get her sister-in-law away, and she could no longer live at home.
Han Hai was sitting on the stool, and just about to speak, Han Hai's daughter-in-law said, "It's his own business whether the elder brother sets up a stall or not, why should we bother him so much?"
Brother being honest doesn't mean he's stupid, the noodle stall really doesn't make any money, he closed the noodle stall a long time ago, and it's just a matter of earning more or less.
She did the math, a bowl of noodles costs ten yuan, and there are definitely few customers, but there are also rich people who want to eat something special, let alone sell ten bowls every time they are sold out. Three bowls and five bowls can still earn ten yuan and twenty yuan, which is hundreds of times better than doing nothing at home and earning less than a penny.
Han Xilan didn't say a word, she always knows the current affairs, she lives in the second brother's house now, and the second brother listens to the second sister-in-law in everything, so she doesn't dare to talk back to the second sister-in-law.
Han Hai's daughter-in-law glanced at her mockingly, and recognized her sister-in-law more clearly. She even looked up to her when she dared to argue with her. Now she dare not say anything, which will only make her look down on her. villain.
…
Han Ze returned home and handed the household registration booklet to Han Zhaodi. Han Zhaodi took the household registration booklet expectantly, and couldn't wait to turn to the page of the eldest daughter. Seeing that her name had been changed to Han Yao, her eyes were moist. In the experimental class of Ji Middle School, she was the only one who passed the exam. When she entered junior high school, the teachers and classmates were all strangers. At that time, she would tell them that her name was Han Yao, not Han Zhaodi, and no one would do it because of her. Laughing at her for her name, she can finally get rid of the name Han Zhaodi.
Continuing to scroll back, she saw that the name of the second sister Pandi had also been changed to Han Min, the third sister Daidi was changed to Han Jin, the fourth sister was named Han Xin, and the fifth sister was named Han Lin. Handed it to Dad, looked at Dad and whispered: "Thank you Dad!"
Thank you Dad for insisting on changing their names, so that they don't have to be laughed at when their names are mentioned, and their self-esteem has been maintained.
Han Ze patted her head. Among the five girls, the eldest girl was the most sensitive and sensible. He said, "Thank you? You don't blame Dad for giving you such a name, Dad is satisfied."
Han Yao raised her face and said, "I don't blame Dad, because I know that grandma got the name."
Han Ze raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "You mean to blame your grandma?"
Mrs. Han treated them badly, and there was nothing wrong with her blaming her.
Han Yao shook her head, her small face full of seriousness: "I don't blame grandma, not only grandma likes boys, but everyone in the village likes boys. There are five girls in our family, and there is no boy. It's normal for grandma to resent us. But, I don't either. Like grandma..."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head. If it was her former father, she would not tell the truth to him, but for her current father, he treats her so well, and she is not willing to lie to him. To tell the truth, she was afraid of making her father unhappy. No one would like a child who doesn't respect the old.
Han Ze saw that his daughter was uneasy, patted her on the head and said: "Father doesn't blame you, no one stipulates that the elders don't like you, or even dislike you, but let you like her, you don't hate her, you are already a good boy .”
Han Yao's eyes were bright, she looked at her father with her head up, and confirmed, "Really?"
Han Ze nodded: "Really."
After a pause, he continued: "You don't need to like grandma, but we can only keep this matter in our hearts, and we can't talk about it outside, otherwise people will say that you are not filial and sensible, and that father can't discipline children."
Han Yao nodded vigorously. She knew what she could say and what she couldn't say, that is, her father had changed. If she was replaced by her previous father, she would not tell him the truth. She smiled and said, "My father is an honest and filial son. , I also have to be an honest and filial granddaughter. Although grandma doesn’t like us, I will still buy her new clothes and delicious food when I grow up. Who made her give birth to a father? Without a father, there would be no us. We have to Thank her."
Is this kid a human being?
Han Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything. Thirteen-year-old children are not too young. They have their own views on the world. He could only raise some points beside him. If he said too much, they would become rebellious and said, "Yes. Ah, grandma is getting old, we don't care about it like she does."
Han Yao nodded solemnly.
Han Ze was relieved, thinking that the child was about to enter junior high school, he changed his mind and said, "Next time I go to town with my dad, I will pick a bicycle for you, so that you can use it to and from school."
Han Yao was a little moved, but last night her mother said that she would have to pay a lot of fines for registering her fourth and fifth younger sisters, and the family probably had no money. She smiled and said, "Don't buy it, don't we have an old bicycle? Push it to Where the bicycle is repaired, let them repair and repair, change the accessories, and you can ride it."
She is already very satisfied that she can go to school, but she doesn't care much about the external conditions.
Looking at her expression, Han Ze knew what she was thinking, and sighed again, this child is really sensible, which makes people feel distressed. Thinking about it, too, if he is not sensible, he will not give up going to school for the sake of his two younger sisters. He said: "Don't worry, Dad has money, so it's okay to buy you a bicycle."
Han Yao still refused, "Our family has many children, and our parents are under a lot of pressure. If you can save some money, save some money."
this child.
Han Ze said angrily: "Father said there is no problem, so it's okay, you have to be obedient, you understand?"
Han Yao: "...Okay."
So reluctant, Han Ze was angry and funny, but he still said: "You are still young, you should focus on studying, don't think too much about other things, my father will find a way to earn money if the family has no money, although my father has no great skills, but It’s not a problem to support five of your sisters, you know?”
"understood."
Han Yao felt warm in her heart, as the fourth sister said, she likes her father.
…
As soon as it was dawn, Han Ze got up to cook. As soon as the porridge was boiled in the pot, Han Yao also got up. Thinking that her father was going to take her to buy a bicycle, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night. Seeing her father in the kitchen Cooking, she went over to help light the fire.
With the help of my daughter, Han Ze cooks the food faster.
After the meal, the father and daughter hurried to the town. When they arrived in the town, it was just dawn, and the market was quiet with no one there.
The vegetable seller carried the slaughtered hen, green vegetables, and shallots, and walked over with a smile like a Buddha. Han Ze took the vegetables in his hand, gave him the money, and unhurriedly lit the fire to stew the chicken soup. Yao was washing vegetables, chopping green onions, and doing small things within her power.
After the chicken soup was boiled and the noodles were rolled out, the vegetable seller came again. Sitting at the dining table, seeing Han Yao who was cleaning the table, he smiled and said, "Your child is really sensible, so he came here so early to help you."
Han Ze glanced at his daughter with pride on his face: "This child is really sensible."
Han Yao's cheeks were flushed, she was obviously embarrassed, her father had never praised her in front of outsiders.
The vegetable seller was very envious. Thinking of the brats at home, he said, "It's better to be a girl, my two boys are very skinny."
After finishing speaking, he thought that there seemed to be only five girls in Chef Han's family and no sons. His words were too easy to be misunderstood.
Han Ze didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and agreed very much: "I don't know how other people's daughters are, but my daughters are really good, filial, sensible and caring."
Vegetable boss: "..."
Is it really okay to boast about your children in such a ostentatious tone?
Han Yao's face turned even redder. Dad is really an old king selling melons, boasting about himself.
The diners came one after another, and the market gradually became lively. Han Ze asked Han Yao to go shopping first to see which style of bicycle he liked. When he sold out the noodles, he just went to pay.
Han Yao looked at the endless stream of customers at the noodle stall, and said hesitantly, "I'll go and see after the stall closes."
Han Ze took ten yuan and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "The noodles will be sold out soon, I don't need your help here, you go pick a bicycle, and tell Dad when you're done, Dad will pay for it, let's go home early, Your mother is taking care of her younger sister, and no one is cooking at home."
"What do you give me the money for?" Han Yao asked.
Han Ze waved his hand and said, "It's hot today, so take the money to buy some ice cream and cold drinks, go quickly."
Han Yao tightly held the money in her hand, her face was full of smiles, she glanced at her father, turned and ran away.
…
Han Yao was not in a hurry to go to the bicycle sales point, but went to the bookstore in the town to buy two books, and then turned to look at the bicycles. When she arrived at the bicycle sales point, she saw one of the blue bicycles at a glance. She whispered I asked the boss the price, three hundred yuan.
She clicked her tongue, it's so expensive, let's forget it, Dad is not easy to earn money, after thinking about it, he asked: "Boss, do you have more than a hundred bicycles here?"
"Han Zhaodi, your family has become rich, and you even have the money to buy a bicycle?"
When Han Yao heard the familiar voice, impatience flashed in her eyes. She met Guo Jinghui no matter where she was. She didn't want to pay attention to him. She looked at the boss and waited for his answer.
Seeing that Han Zhaodi ignored him, Guo Jinghui felt a little uncomfortable. He went to school late and was two years older than Han Zhaodi. When a fifteen-year-old boy was trying to save face, he walked up to Han Zhaodi with a sullen face, and laughed: "Isn't it Borrow money to buy a bicycle?"
"What's none of your business? Also, my name is Han Yao now, not Han Zhaodi." Han Yao glared at him, not understanding how there could be such an annoying boy, then turned and continued to ask the boss: "Boss, I can take a look at your place." Is it a bicycle worth more than a hundred dollars?"
"Han Zhaodi's name is so distinctive, why change it?" Guo Jinghui stepped forward with a smile, and greeted Han Yao with a blank stare. He didn't care, and said to the owner of the bicycle shop: "Boss, which is the most expensive bicycle here?" ,I want to buy."
After speaking, he glanced at Han Yao, this is the difference between the rich and the poor.
That naive look, Han Yao doesn't think so, it's amazing to be rich, and it's not earned by her parents, and she has the ability to compare her academic performance with her, a narrow naive ghost, and at the same time ashamed of her former self, even arguing with such a naive person , Doesn't it seem that she is also very naive.
The owner of the bicycle shop couldn’t stop laughing. The kids these days are amazing. They know how to compare at a young age, but they still carefully introduce the bicycles in the shop to them.
After listening to the boss's introduction, Han Yao already knew what model and model of bicycle to buy, and planned to go back to the stall to find her father, but just as she turned around, she saw her father with a surprise on her face: "Dad, why are you here? "
Han Ze smiled and said, "I saw that you didn't come back after closing the stall, so I came to find you directly."
This is the only one in the town that sells bicycles, so don't worry about finding someone.
The owner of the bicycle shop was quite surprised to see Han Ze, and asked with a smile, "Chef Han, is this your daughter?"
Han Ze looked at the owner of the bicycle shop, saw that he was very familiar, knew that he was a regular customer of the noodle stall, smiled and nodded at him, and said, "This is my daughter."
There was a little show in his tone.
The owner of the bicycle shop heard the show off in Han Ze's words, and smiled. He had seen someone who showed off his son, but he had never seen one who showed off his daughter. Chef Han was different from others, he was actually a good father who loved his daughter.
Guo Jinghui flinched when he saw Han Ze. He just bullied his daughter, and the daughter's father came later. If Han Zhaodi's father knew that he bullied Han Zhaodi, wouldn't he beat him? Look at the height of Han Zhaodi's father, and worry about his figure. Although he is shorter than Han Zhaodi's father, he is young, so he should be able to beat him, right?
Han Yao took her father's arm, pointed to one of the bicycles, and said, "Dad, this bicycle is pretty good, I want this one."
Han Ze followed his daughter's hand and saw that it was an old-fashioned bicycle. The bicycle was heavy but very strong and could be used. He asked with a smile, "Why did you choose this one?"
Han Yao told the truth: "This bike is cheap and durable."
Bicycles are for riding, not for viewing. That blue bicycle looks good, but it’s also good-looking, and it’s not durable enough. It’s not as practical as this bike.
Han Yao used the bicycle. Han Ze respected her opinion and asked the boss the price with a smile.
The owner of the bicycle shop smiled and said, "I originally needed one hundred and eighty yuan. Since the little girl is the daughter of Chef Han, let's give it one hundred and sixty."
One hundred and sixty yuan, he earns travel expenses.
Han Ze was not polite, and took out the money without hesitation. Han Yao immediately pushed the bicycle out, and the father and daughter each rode away on a bicycle, completely ignoring Guo Jinghui who was hiding at the side who was restless.
Guo Jinghui walked out from the corner as if he was relieved until he couldn't see the father and daughter.
…
Han Yao's new bicycle was watched curiously by the Han family, including Mrs. Han who was sick and unwilling to get up. Of course, Mrs. Han was not curious about her granddaughter's bicycle. She just didn't want to understand why the eldest son bought a bicycle for a girl , even if the eldest son does not plan to adopt his son in the future, there is no need to spoil a girl like this, right?
"I think he's showing off because he has too much money." Mrs. Han got up from the bed with a dark face, put on her shoes and went to Han Ze's house, her movements were swift and she looked like someone who was sick and bedridden for half a month.
Han Xilan was worried about her mother, so she hurriedly followed behind and chased after her.
Han Hai's daughter-in-law was also very curious about Zhaodi's bicycle, and she couldn't help but follow her to take a look, but she murmured in her heart that the elder brother's noodle stall probably made money, otherwise where did he get the money to buy the bicycle.
But when she thought about it, when the eldest brother had any good things, he always thought about his own boys, but now the elder brother didn't care about the boys, and he only bought bicycles for Zhaodi. She felt strange, it was different after all.
When Mrs. Han arrived at Han Ze's house, Han Yao was riding her new bicycle with her second younger sister playing outside the yard. Han Ze and Wu Hongmei were watching with the child in their arms.
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Han's old face became even darker, and she scolded fiercely: "You moth who can't finish."
Only then did Han Ze and the others see Mrs. Han, and Han Ze frowned into a plain word, and said worriedly: "Mother, you are not in good health, you should rest on the bed, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Han stared at the bicycle under Han Yao's buttocks, and said angrily, "If I get sick again, you guys will be turned upside down. You have a ready-made bicycle at home, why buy a bicycle?"
Han Ze explained: "I have to set up a stall every fair, and I want to use my bicycle at home. The big girl starts school and goes to junior high school. How can I do without a bicycle? Although our family has no money, it is still possible to buy a cheaper bicycle for the child. of."
Mrs. Han was very dissatisfied when she heard the elder son's words. When Wu Hongmei gave birth to the fifth girl, she once boasted in front of her mother-in-law that she didn't intend to let Zhaodi continue her studies. Now the eldest son not only did not let Zhaodi drop out of school, but also bought her a bicycle. The eldest son's posture of fully supporting Zhaodi's studies made Mrs. Han angry, and felt that she would not dare to see her mother-in-law in the future.
What's more, in her opinion, the eldest son will be married in the future, and she is not sure which daughter will be married. If Zhaodi wants to marry in the future, spending so much money to let her study is equivalent to wasting money.
"If you want me to tell you what school the girls go to." Mrs. Han muttered, knowing in her heart that her eldest son would not listen to what she was saying, so he didn't say it out loud.
Although she didn't say it out loud, Han Ze still heard it, and he said, "Mother, what school do you girls go to? Why did you let Xilan go to college?"
Mrs. Han faltered, hesitated for a while, and said, "That's not it, it's not that Mrs. Han said that Xilan is a college student, so I let her go to school."
As soon as Han Xilan arrived at the door of Han Ze's house, when she heard her mother's words, she immediately wanted to turn around and go back, blaming her mother in her heart, why did she mention fortune-telling if she had nothing to do? It's fine to talk about it at home, if it's not embarrassing enough for outsiders to know, how can she see people.
Seeing Han Xilan, Han Ze called out and asked, "Xilan, mother said that a girl doesn't need to study, do you agree with that?"
Of course Han Xilan disagreed, but this was said by her mother, and she was unwilling to ask her to deny her mother. In this case, it is better not to say anything.
Han Ze smiled and said, "I don't think you would agree either. After all, you are a girl, and a girl shouldn't go to school. You shouldn't have gone to school in the first place, and we don't need to pool money to pay your tuition."
Han Xilan froze, and said embarrassingly: "Brother is right, no matter boys or girls, as long as they study well, they can go to school."
So she doesn't like big brother, and she never cares about other people's feelings when dealing with others. Why do you have to force her to admit it? If it were that smooth and sophisticated person, it would have been time to change the subject.
If Han Hai's daughter-in-law hears what's in her heart, it's time to say it, but Brother Fan is more tactful, and you, Han Xilan, still have the chance to go to college?
Mrs. Han snorted softly, complaining that the elder son always blamed the **** everything, and made a big fuss, but she had nothing to do with him. Now the elder son is devoted to raising a few girls, and with his stubborn nature, unless he can Give birth to a son, otherwise no one can change his current thinking.
Thinking of this, she looked at Wu Hongmei and said: "The child is a little older, you have another child, what if you have a son?"
Wu Hongmei glanced at her mother-in-law in embarrassment, but hesitated to speak.
Mrs. Han said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't tell me, you don't want to have a baby."
Wu Hongmei looked at her sister-in-law, Han Xilan saw her sister-in-law's eyes, snorted and went to the side.
Mrs. Han was displeased: "Speak up if you have something to say, what are you talking about?"
Han Ze glanced at his mother, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I went to the hospital for a ligation operation, and I can't have a baby anymore."
Mrs. Han didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, she stared at him blankly, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, stared at him in a daze: "What did you just say?"
Han Ze repeated what he just said.
"Oh my mother!"
Granny Han suddenly wailed, burst into tears, pointed at Han Ze tremblingly, and said incoherently, "You, you, you are not a filial son..."
Before she finished speaking, she fainted all of a sudden, this time she really fainted, and lay straight on the ground with a thud.
The children were frightened, Han Ze hurried forward to check, and ordered Wu Hongmei to ask for a doctor.
When Han Xilan saw that her mother had fainted, she was also startled, and ran over in a hurry.
