After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

Mrs. Xu was very fertile. It is said that she gave birth to more than ten children in total, but in the end only four sons and one daughter survived.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in this era. Most families in the countryside are like this. They have children one after another, but very few can feed them all.

Even if only five of Mrs. Xu's children survived in the end, the number of her descendants was still impressive, more than twenty.

Of course, not everyone stays to watch the wake, someone has to go to the kitchen to help.

When relatives come from afar, it is natural to prepare meals for them, which is also called a banquet.

At this time, the women in the family had to go to work, but Xu Shuxin didn't have to, and Cui Lanhua asked their sisters to stay.

Xu Shuxin also saw the resentful look Xu Dani looked at their sisters when she left.

Because Aunt Xu took her to work too.

Xu Dani was forcefully married off by Aunt Xu after the autumn harvest. She was married not far away from the Xialin Brigade, which was a brigade away from the Peace Brigade.

Xu Dani's man also came today. Xu Shuxin felt that the man was honest and hard-working. If Xu Dani didn't act like a monster and lived a good life with him, her life would be pretty good.

I just don’t know if Xu Dani, who likes Qin Zhiqing in her heart, is willing to live honestly with a country man?

Xu Shuxin was thinking about Xu Dani's married life, looking at Mrs. Xu's descendants, and then she saw a strange figure.

Xu Shuxin had only met Xu Qingmu's brothers, and this was the first time she met Mrs. Xu's daughter, who was their sisters' aunt.

She was wearing a patched gray cotton-padded jacket. She looked very thin and skinny, with no expression on her face.

She does what others do.

Beside her, there was a teenage girl with her head lowered, presumably her aunt's daughter.

But what puzzled Xu Shuxin was that Mrs. Xu didn't see her aunt last time when she was dying, but this time she actually came.

Just as Xu Shuxin was staring at her aunt and daughter, Aunt Xu's voice reached her ears.

"Third brother, we don't have enough food at home. Go home and get some. Get a sack so that all your relatives can eat. By the way, grab two of your chickens. You have a large family and can raise them. There are also many chickens.”

Xu Qingmu did not refuse, "Okay, I'll get it then."

"I'll go too." Xu Shuxin said.

Xu Shuyan said nothing, but grabbed Xu Shuxin's hand.

Ever since Xu Shuxin came back, Xu Shuyan had become even more clinging to her. She would never let go of her hand unless necessary.

Xu Qingmu did not refuse, and Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan followed out.

Xu Shuxin thought that her father would go home directly to get chickens and food, but who knew that he would go straight to the kitchen after leaving the main room.

Aunt Xu saw his actions and shouted from behind, "Hey, third brother, what are you doing in the kitchen? I'm in a hurry to cook. Go back and get something."

Xu Qingmu ignored her at all.

He walked to the kitchen, walked to Cui Lanhua, and repeated what Aunt Xu said to Cui Lanhua.Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan did not enter the kitchen, but they lay at the door and stretched their heads to look inside.

There were several people crowded in the small kitchen, including Cui Lanhua, Xu Dani, Xu Ernie, Xu Ernie's daughter-in-law, Xu Ernie's daughter-in-law, and two aunts from the Xu family.

There were people washing and chopping vegetables and chopping chicken, making a bit of noise.

Under such an environment, Xu Shuxin still heard Cui Lanhua's surprised voice, "What? Didn't you say that our family only produces food?"

After Cui Lanhua finished speaking, she saw Uncle Xu who was about to enter the kitchen and asked her, "Sister-in-law, we have agreed that you and your second sister-in-law will provide chicken and vegetables, and our family will provide food. Why did you let my man catch the chicken?"

I caught two at once.

Each person in the first and second bedrooms only has one, except for chickens and vegetables.

As for the fourth bedroom, because Xu Qingsong and his son were sent to the northwest, and Ma Dahua returned to her natal family to remarry, the only remaining fourth bedroom is 14-year-old Xu Guanghua, so naturally there is no need for him to contribute anything.

He can't even support himself, so where can he take out anything?
So the three of them had already discussed what each family would produce.

But Cui Lanhua and Xu Qingmu didn't expect that Aunt Xu rushed to inform people and ended up adding so many things.

Not only was the food doubled, but he was also asked to catch two chickens.

This is too much!

Neither Xu Qingmu nor Cui Lanhua was happy.

Even Xu Shuxin couldn't help but despise Uncle Xu.

It’s so greedy to want to take advantage of such an advantage!
Except Cui Lanhua who stared at Uncle Xu for an answer, everyone in the kitchen also looked at Uncle Xu in surprise.

When the three families were discussing, the men from the first and second families were also present, and they all agreed to this method. Cui Lanhua and her six daughters agreed on behalf of the third family.

At that time, Cui Lanhua said that she wanted to go home to get food. Aunt Xu generously said that she was not in a hurry and could use their big room first to get it after the funeral.

At that time, Cui Lanhua was worried about Xu Qingmu and his daughter, and had no intention of taking it into consideration. She also didn't expect that Aunt Xu would do this, so she didn't go home to get food.

Who knew that Xu Qingmu had just come back, and she hurriedly went to Xu Qingmu to urge him to go home and get his things.

Being questioned by Cui Lanhua and being watched by so many people, Aunt Xu felt embarrassed and the expression on her face was not good, but she still defended herself, "I'm not thinking that two chickens don't have much meat, and one piece is not enough for each person." , you have a lot of family members and can raise a lot of chickens, so just bring over two more, so that the table will look better."

"Hey, what about the food? You just asked my man to bring half more. Even if you eat dry rice, you won't get so much." Cui Lanhua continued to ask.

The coffin will be buried early tomorrow morning. Including today, there are only three tables at most for relatives and people who come to help. Plus their descendants, there are only five tables in total, so there is no way to use that much food.

At that time, it goes without saying whose rice bag the remaining grain went into.

"Sister-in-law, you have such a good plan." Cui Lanhua said.

Aunt Xu felt that Cui Lanhua did not give her sister-in-law face, so she quickly put away the guilty look on her face. Instead, she said confidently: "Your family is having an easy time, what's the matter with having extra things? And last night, Don’t you feel sorry for your mother when the third child was not here when your mother died? In that case, what’s wrong with bringing more things to make mother happy? This way, people will also think that the third child is filial. I’m doing this all for you. good!"

Xu Qingmu: "Sister-in-law, you'd better keep your kindness, I don't need it. Of course, if you want to make a face for my mother, then you should give me more. After all, my mother's savings have gone to you and your second sister-in-law's house." , you should do more, if you and the second sister-in-law can't make the decision, I can go talk to the eldest brother and the second brother."
