Chapter 16

Chen Shoushan looked at Chen Shouhe and sneered, "What a big face!"

Zhao Miaomiao nodded secretly, didn't she?What a big face!But the fourth uncle's words are too direct!
What a big face!Chen Shouhe was furious when he heard it, especially when he said this to the fourth son who was always overwhelmed by him before, the anger in his chest rose three feet, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the person, "what did you say, fourth son?"

Chen Shoushan was not afraid at all, he looked back at him lightly and said, "I said you have a big face!"

"Chen Shoushan!" Chen Shouhe clenched his fists and was about to jump over the food to beat someone.

Chen Shoujia and Chen Shouye quickly grabbed Chen Shouhe and dragged him away from the dining table. They thought that you two would beat us and applaud us, but we couldn't waste the food!
Seeing the food that was almost overturned and the two sons fighting out of anger, Mrs. Chen was so angry that she stepped forward to beat them up. She slapped each of them several times and cursed angrily, "We are both full and have the strength to fight. How can we still fight?" Whatever you want to eat, get out of here and don't even eat the food!"

Don’t even eat the food!
Chen Shoushan froze, and said with a sneer, "Mother, I didn't want to fight with third brother, he wanted to beat someone up."

Chen Shouhe also calmed down. He wanted to fight again later. He couldn't miss the good meal tonight. He said, "Mom, it was the fourth child who provoked me first. My son has never had a full meal outside in the past few years, and he has not had a good meal during the New Year." I didn’t eat a piece of meat, my stomach was empty and I could only drink water.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen felt soft and distressed, and slapped him angrily. Shen scolded, "Now that you know how hard it is, I'll be honest and don't touch that thing again. You're still lucky to be able to come back with all of it, don't you know?" ?”

Chen Shouhe responded perfunctorily, "Yeah."

Chen Shoushan laughed.

Old Mrs. Chen glanced at him, "Fourth! What are you doing?"

Chen Shoushan clenched his chopsticks and said nothing.

Chen Shouxing frowned and interrupted the old lady Chen who was about to preach, "Mother, let's cook dinner first, it will be dark later and burn oil lamps."

Mrs. Chen stopped talking and said, "Oh! Let's eat. Let's eat."

As soon as they heard that dinner was ready, everyone in the Chen family immediately started using their chopsticks, sweeping away the dishes and soup pots like wind and clouds.

Except for this little farce before the meal, everyone in the Chen family was very satisfied with their meal.

Fatty Li rubbed his stomach, licked his mouth and said, "It would be great if every meal was like this tonight!"

Both Jin Bao and Yin Bao nodded their heads repeatedly.

Old lady Chen rolled her eyes at her, "What are you thinking? What are you daydreaming about!"

Li Fatya blinked and said naively, "It's already dark, mother."

Jinbao Yinbao glanced at the sky and nodded, "Yes, grandma, it's getting dark. It's time to stop dreaming."

Mrs. Chen: "..."

Zhao Miaomiao covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then said, "Mom, something good happened to our family today."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said with bright eyes, "Miao Miao, are you pregnant again?"

Chen Shouxing: "???"

Zhao Miaomiao: "..."

Seeing that the sisters-in-law were about to say congratulations, Zhao Miaomiao shook her head with a warm face and said, "It's not mother, it's Hui Hui who has embroidered two embroidered handkerchiefs that the town can collect."

Mrs. Chen asked in surprise, "Really?"

He and Wang Hongmei also asked excitedly, "Can we really accept the fifth younger brother and sister?"

"Wow! We can collect it, we can make money!" Huihui Xiuxiu and the two hugged each other excitedly. The little aunt never mentioned it when she came back. They both thought the town wouldn't accept it.

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "Xiuxiu Huihui embroiders cotton handkerchiefs for a small price, only two cents. When their embroidery skills get better in the future, they can take over the county's silk handkerchief embroidery work. One piece can cost at least six cents." money."

Old Mrs. Chen naturally understood that making money was a good start, and told her, "Huihui embroidery, you two should do your embroidery well. After you master your skills, you won't have to work in the fields and find a good marriage."

Huihui Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma, we will do it."

Laidi was envious. She lowered her head and looked at her black and rough hands. She knew that most of the girls in the village were like her, and maybe even better than them. They could have a full belly and her little aunt was lucky enough to eat more meat. But Youhui Hui Xiuxiu was comparing them in front of her. She was unwilling to accept that the gap between her mother and her little aunt would be like this in the future!
She pinched her fingers unwillingly and didn't know what to do, and her eyes darkened.

He and Wang Hongmei both grinned when they saw that their daughter was promising.

Li Fatya looked at Yinbao with envy and resentment, and muttered, "Why is she not a girl?"

Yin Bao scratched his head and asked, "Mom, what do you see me doing?"

Li Fatya's eyes became even more resentful, "Why aren't you a daughter?"

Chen Shoushan nodded and looked at Yinbao with a bit of resentment.

Yinbao: "???"

Jin Bao knew why his parents were like this. Originally, he didn’t want to have children when his father had him. He said it was too hard to raise children, and it would be nice to have a son to support the family. Later, my aunt married in and watched Hui Hui embroidery and learned embroidery from my aunt. They thought they could make money, and their parents didn't want to lose money, so they wanted to have another daughter, but the younger brother was born.

Chen Shoujia was a little moved and regretted it. If he had known that he could make money so quickly, he should have made a fuss about letting his daughter learn embroidery from his fifth brother and sister. Now that the youngest Pandi is ten years old, it is too late to learn embroidery. When he can make money They all married into other people's families, so forget it and sigh.

Mrs. Dong didn't know what Mrs. He and the others were so happy about. What's the use of a girl making money by making movies?

Zhao Miaomiao didn't know what everyone in the Chen family was thinking, so he continued, "After a while, Huihui embroidery came to my room to get embroidery items."

Hui Hui Xiu Xiu nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Mr. He stayed to clear the table while everyone else left the hall.

Fatty Li pushed Chen Shoushan and said, "Father, should we have another daughter?"

Chen Shoushan shook his head and said, "What are you going to do? What if you are born as a boy? What a pain to raise a son? You need a house and a bride price. The more children eat, the less we eat, and the more we plow the fields." The more you have, the easier it is to die of exhaustion, look at the elder brother Zhu at the end of the village who died after 30, isn't it just exhaustion."

Fatty Li nodded and clasped her fingers, thinking that was the reason.

Chen Shoushan continued, "Forget about being a daughter, we won't get much money in our hands. Let's think about our granddaughter. Let's find a daughter-in-law for Jinbao as soon as possible and get married as soon as she is old. I have a good relationship with Lao Wu. When the time comes, let's let him My granddaughter will definitely succeed in learning embroidery from her fifth younger siblings, so she won’t be at a loss!”

Li Fatya's eyes were bright, and she said with a smile, "My father is really smart. Why don't the granddaughter's money be left in our hands! Then I have to find out which good girl is smart and capable, and book it for Jinbao."

the other side,
Zhao Miaomiao handed the things to Hui Hui and said, "I have given you forty handkerchiefs, twenty sachets and twenty wallets. You two can embroider them in half."

Hui Hui Xiu Xiu responded, "I understand."

Zhao Miaomiao added, "The handkerchief is three cents embroidered a piece, and the sachet and wallet depend on your ability. If you embroider well, you will get more money, otherwise it will only be two cents each. I will tell you how many handkerchiefs, sachets, and wallets are." Grandma said, it’s up to you how much money you can save.”

Huihui nodded in response. Her aunt had hinted before that she had just guessed and hoped for it, but now that it was realized, she couldn't help but feel excited.

Xiuxiu was so happy that she hugged Renren and said, "Thank you so much, auntie! Auntie is the best."
