"Old sister-in-law, don't be sad. Although Madam Dashu has a bad temper, she is very filial. She will send you delicious food at home and make nice clothes for you. We are old. How many more years can we live, as long as our children are not short of food and drink?”
"If anyone in our clan enjoys happiness, you enjoy it the most. When the eldest son was alive, he didn't say anything to you. The second son took you to the south to enjoy happiness. Now there is a family of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-granddaughters. I think they are all good. And you have two grandsons who are so good at reading, they will earn a living for you sooner or later.”
Mrs. Gu's sister-in-law comforted Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu stopped crying. She also knew that it would be pointless to cry any more.
Then the sister-in-law changed the topic and said to Mrs. Jia: "Daughter-in-law Arita, I, as an aunt, should not talk about you. Your Ruinian has been a promising young man in the entire clan. But I see that sometimes he only cares about himself. If nothing else, he just said that I gave you a basket last time. He cooked and ate the eggs while his nephew Yao Jia stared at him eagerly and was reluctant to give him a bite. They said that if you don't correct him now, he will be an official in the future. He eats and lets those who follow him watch. Who will follow him in the future?”
Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but glance at the second aunt.
She usually had only a light relationship with the clan. She only knew that the second aunt was stern and cold towards her. Except for sending Gu Jingzhe to give some gifts to the second uncle and second aunt's family during the New Year, she basically had no contact with her.
What a country woman can say.
This second aunt is not simple.
Tong Huaqiong could not find the memory of this second aunt in Tong Dajiao's memory. It is estimated that in the previous life, the second aunt did not like Tong Dajiao and did not interact with her at all, so she had no memory.
This second aunt was quite famous in the clan, and the Jia family, which was still in a fighting posture, suddenly stopped.
Soon, the food arrived.
Fortunately, according to the customs of Yanguan Town, there is no need to be vegetarian on the anniversary of death, just abstain from alcohol.
Tong Huaqiong put a piece of braised pork ribs on the plate in front of her second aunt and said: "Second aunt, please try my home cooking of pork ribs."
The second aunt took a bite of the ribs and was full of praise.
"Old lady, you want to try a piece too." Tong Huaqiong took a piece of ribs and handed it to Mrs. Gu's bowl.
Mrs. Gu snorted, but she didn't waste any time in chewing it.
Tong Huaqiong will not wrong everyone, and today's meal is very rich.
What's more, they are all from the same family and friends, and there are only three tables in total. Even if they are all big fish and meat, they will not cost a lot of money.
The chef from Fengle House was invited. The fresh, pollution-free meat and vegetables, coupled with the chef's skills, made every dish appetizing.
Gu Honglian sat next to Mrs. Gu, carelessly stretching out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. She first flipped through the chicken to find the tenderest chicken leg meat and put it on the plate in front of her. Then she flipped over the pork ribs and picked out the one with the most meat. In front of him, he turned over the mutton and picked out a few of the fattest pieces, which made the people at the table secretly shake their heads.
"Honglian, if you are pulling vegetables like this, how will others eat it?"
When Gu Honglian was about to point her chopsticks at the braised fish, there was no need for Tong Huaqiong to open her mouth and the second aunt started to deliver.
Gu Honglian stuffed her mouth with meat and said vaguely: "I didn't stop you from eating."
The second aunt put down her chopsticks and said to Mrs. Gu with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, Honglian is fifteen this year, isn't she? You see, her food is not as good as Man'er, Xiaolong, Yaozu and several other children, just like this. I don’t care how you treat her at home, so I have to say it under my nose.”
"You also said that Pandi and Li affected the marriages of girls from the Gu family. I think Honglian's behavior really lowered the reputation of the girls from the Gu family outside. Fortunately, it was at her sister-in-law's house. If she was outside, During the dinner, when people saw Hong Lian’s short-sighted look, they wouldn’t say anything about Hong Lian, they would only talk about girls from the Gu family.”
Gu Honglian was quite afraid of her second aunt, so she lowered her head and did not dare to talk back. Mrs. Gu defended Gu Honglian and said: "Why is my Honglian like this? It's not that she didn't eat well after returning to Qinghewan. She didn't do this when she had meat to eat in the south."
This is another attempt to target Tong Huaqiong for being unfilial.
The second aunt sneered: "Who in our village eats meat every day? I haven't seen any girls eating like this when eating out? If nothing else, let's just say that Xiaoxue doesn't eat meat all the time in the south, and also in Qinghe Bay. I’ve never seen her like Honglian. Don’t make excuses for her, it’s just what you’re used to.”
Mrs. Gu and her second aunt and sister-in-law never dealt with each other and said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my Honglian affairs. There is so much meat that I can't shut your mouth."
The second aunt said: "You think I want to take care of it."
Then he said to Gu Honglian: "Honglian, you can't eat like this, whether at home or out. It's unpleasant for the second aunt to say, but for your own good, if you think what the second aunt said is wrong, you think I'm farting. But today You can't pick up food in front of me. We have a table full of people who don't want to eat your saliva. You can pick it up all you want when you get home, and I won't care about you."
Gu Honglian was told by her second aunt that she did not dare to continue pulling food.
All the female relatives in the room felt relieved by the second aunt's words.
What a good table it was, couldn't be ruined by Gu Honglian's saliva.
She actually enjoyed eating it, why did others use their chopsticks?
"Second Aunt, please try this fish. I went to the reservoir outside to buy it early in the morning. It's fresh."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
If I continue to fight, I won’t be able to eat.
Tong Huaqiong picked up the most tender meat from the belly of the fish and handed it to her second aunt, not forgetting to pick up a new pair of clean chopsticks.
The second aunt's face softened slightly.
Soon everyone finished their meal and cleared away the leftovers.
Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but smile when she saw the look of pity on the face of her sister-in-law.
In such an era when material resources are relatively scarce, villagers are accustomed to collecting the leftovers from the banquet into several large buckets after a banquet, and then carrying them home in pots and pans, and adding them to the vegetables from the ground to heat them up. Eat two meals.
After all, what everyone considers is oil and water, not hygiene.
Tong Huaqiong has already thought of this and will not let everyone go back empty-handed.
So Gu Taohua, Liu Yue'e, and Tong Pandi had already prepared a big pot of steamed buns and pork belly cooked in oil. It didn't cost much anyway.
These meals are the essential food for the hired workers in pig farms and fields.
Everyone was so happy when they saw that Tong Huaqiong had prepared steamed buns and vegetables for everyone to take home.
Except for Mrs. Gu's second aunt, Gu Honglian, the Jia family and the Wei family, as well as several older aunts and aunts in the clan, the rest of the younger generation went back after finishing their meal and saying hello to Tong Huaqiong.
Many men from the clan stayed behind.
Tong Huaqiong raised her eyes. Mr. Gu and the clan leader were pulling the clan members to take the opportunity to attack her. (End of chapter)
