Tian Shao took charge of the meal at noon on New Year's Eve. Because there were so many people in the family, she prepared ten dishes and one soup, including steamed whole chicken, red braised shark's fin, fried sea cucumber with green onions, sweet and sour pork ribs, minced meat and vermicelli stew, and sour
Spicy lion head, boiled fish fillets, hand-shredded cabbage, cold jellyfish and braised pig ears.
Tan Minjun looked at the dishes on the table and marveled: "Grandma, the third aunt is so amazing. Did she go out of her way to learn how to cook?"
Li Guihua said with a smile: "Your third aunt started cooking when she was seven years old, but her cooking skills were not as good as now, and she could also cook some home-cooked dishes. It seems that she read some cooking books, so she has more and more tricks.
"
Of these dishes, she had only taught her how to steam a whole chicken. In fact, she didn’t need to teach you this dish. Just kill the chicken, clean it, and steam it directly in the pot. As for other dishes, Li Guihua had never even seen some of them, so it was impossible.
Taught her.
Tan Minjun praised: "The third aunt is really amazing."
Li Guihua said with some regret: "Your third aunt has loved studying since she was a child. I used to scold her several times because I thought studying was useless and I couldn't work more. But she has a stubborn temper and insisted on studying even though I scolded her."
Occasionally thinking back to the past, Li Guihua felt guilty. At that time, she should have been better to her children, and at least she should have supported them in reading and literacy. Thanks to her eldest brother who had the foresight to scold her, she stopped trying to stop her, and the child got her junior high school diploma.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get into college and live the good life I have today.
Tan Minjun groaned and asked, "Why do you scold Third Aunt for studying?"
I remember that when he didn't like studying and skipping classes to go out to play, his father found out and whipped him with a belt. Compared with the third aunt, it was really embarrassing.
Li Guihua didn't shy away from it, saying: "I didn't know this before. When I heard everyone saying that girls are useless in studying and mocking me for it, I didn't want her to study. It's a shame that the child didn't listen to me, otherwise I would have ruined her life.
Already."
Facts have proved that the eldest daughter of her family is a good student in studying, and now she has become a useful talent for the country.
Tan Minxing, who rarely speaks, was filled with emotion when he listened. No wonder people often say that many people in the countryside are ignorant and don't let their children read books, so how can they become smarter and live a better life?
When the soup was served, everyone also arrived in the main room. Since there were more than ten people, a small square table was set up. Sanya and Siya ate at the small square table with some snacks.
After dinner, Si Ya repeated the old talk: "Sister, it would be great if you could cook every day."
The family is tired of eating those dishes every day, unlike the eldest sister who often makes fresh dishes for them to eat. She also made suggestions to Li Guihua, and the reply was a heavy beating.
Tan Yue glanced at her but said nothing.
Tan Minjun burped and said: "Third aunt is so busy, how can I cook for you every day? It would be nice to have a meal once in a while."
When I was a kid, his mother had to go to work and didn't have time to cook for lunch, so she would eat from the canteen. In the afternoon, she would just stir-fry two dishes. Fortunately, his mother was good at making soup.
Tian Shao looked at the two young men and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Do you want to go hiking?"
When Tian Dali heard this, he stopped him and said, "It's a groggy day, and it might rain in the afternoon."
They didn't dare to go up the mountain when it rained and the road was slippery. If Tan Minjun went there without using all his limbs, he would definitely fall badly. The children were at home, so they couldn't bear the responsibility if something broke.
After dinner, Li Guihua took Tian Shao and Sanya into the house and asked about Wu Zhengqing. She was too busy to ask questions before, but last night she specifically asked Sanya about it, but the girl couldn't answer many questions.
Li Guihua was so angry that she scolded Sanya.
Li Guihua asked Tian Shao: "Before, you said that Wu Zhengqing was a company commander and his father held an important position in a certain army in the northwest. What is his mother doing at home?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Before the three brothers grew up, his mother took care of the children at home. After they all worked, Aunt Wu went to work in the backend of the children's school."
"How is Wu Zhengqing's mother's temperament? Sanya has such a soft temper. If she meets someone who is hard to talk to, she won't tell us if she is bullied."
She has six daughters, the second one is stubborn, and the third one is a bit timid. Now the second one is not afraid of being bullied under her nose, but it is the third one who makes her worry.
Tian Shao had never met Wu Zhengqing's mother. He said: "My sister-in-law said that Wu Zhengqing's mother is a sensible person, but she is impatient and talks too much. Mom, don't worry about this. Wu Zhengqing works in Sijiucheng, which is far from the northwest.
! It’s a rare trip to the northwest once a year, so it won’t be a problem.”
"What about living with Sanya and the others in the future?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Isn't this difficult to handle? From now on, Sanya will buy a two-bedroom house in Sijiu City. If there is no place to live, how can I be embarrassed to live with them?"
Sanya said: "Sister, after getting married, you should live in the family camp."
Tian Shao glanced at her and said: "Living in Chang'an Hutong, you can help people make clothes, and you can earn forty or fifty a month. You are going to the family camp. If other military wives ask you to help make clothes, you agree.
Or refuse? If you agree, it will be a waste of work; if you refuse, it will not be conducive to unity and will exclude you. Also, the teachers in the family camp have varying levels of quality. Can you trust those people to teach your children? "
"The kindergarten and elementary school next to us are very good. For the sake of the children, we shouldn't live in a family camp."
Sanya hesitated and said, "Sister, my household registration is not there, so my child shouldn't be able to get in."
Li Guihua really felt that she was a fool, and her eldest daughter would definitely send her child in if she mentioned it: "Studying is a matter of a lifetime, so don't delay your child's future just because of temporary favor."
Sanya said: "Mom, when I have a child, the eldest sister will help me put the child in the kindergarten and primary school next to Chang'an Street. What about the second sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister? Do they also need to arrange for their children to go to good schools?
.Mom, we can’t get married and still point to my eldest sister.”
After saying that, she looked at Tian Shao and said, "Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don't want to be a burden to you."
Tian Shao was very pleased and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you think so. But the household registration matter is actually easy to handle. Wu Zhengqing's household registration is in Sijiucheng. When the time comes, you can buy two houses next to the school, so that Wu Zhengqing and
The child’s household registration can be settled there.”
"Can it still be done like this?"
Tian Shao smiled and said, "Of course."
The Wu family has connections in Sijiucheng. If Wu Zhengqing is so determined, he will find a way to settle the Sanya household registration matter. Of course, it doesn't matter if the Wu family follows principles and doesn't do it. In a few years, there will be a policy that if you have a house in Beijing, you can
You can settle down. As for children studying, this is not a problem at all.
Sanya was moved when she heard this. The house in the family camp was just for rent and would be gone if they were transferred to work, but if they bought a house in Sijiucheng, it would be their own.
Tian Shao looked at her expression and said with a smile: "You are good at your craft. If you work hard for two more years, it will not be a problem to buy two rooms with Wu Zhengqing's allowance."
"Sister, I will work hard."
There are too many ****, and it’s the first time to be banned at home.
