Four years later.
"Liulang, it's time to eat..."
"Oh, mother, come here!" Zhou Yi was lying on the straw pile basking in the sun, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard Wang Yan's voice calling him.
He quickly rolled over from the haystack and ran towards his mother on his short legs, with the sky cannon on his head trembling with the running of his body.
Wang Yan hugged Zhou Yi the moment he approached him, "Where did you go? Your sisters didn't see it, and Wu Lang was still crying to play with you!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes, and
he After all, he is also an adult soul, and he is really not interested in playing house games with a group of little ghosts. Especially this Goro, whose name is Zhou De, is a child of his fourth uncle's family. He is only one month older than Zhou Yi, and he often likes to cling to him with his nose dragging.
"I fell asleep in the haystack." Zhou Yi hugged his mother's neck and said softly. In her previous life, she didn't know what maternal love is, but in this life, she has fully experienced it. Wang Yan is gentle and patient, full of maternal brilliance. Maybe it's because her mental age has followed her physical age. Zhou Yi is really like a four-year-old child acting like a baby to her mother.
Listening to her son's soft and immature voice, Wang Yan felt that her heart was going to melt, and she didn't care about other things. She touched the marks on Zhou Yi's face on the haystack: "Don't sleep on the haystack again, look at the marks on your face, it would be bad if you scratched your face." "
Okay Mother, I'll listen to you." Zhou Yi grinned and agreed very readily. Wang Yan stretched out her hand and tapped Zhou Yi's forehead, and shook her head amusedly, she didn't know who this son followed, since he was young, he was much smarter than his peers, he didn't cry or make trouble when he was young, and he loved being clean when he grew up Very, he often likes to be in a daze, and he doesn't know what is going on in his little head. Wang Yan carried Zhou Yi into the main room, where dinner was already being set, and it happened to be the second room's turn to do housework today. Wang Yan had been busy with her daughters all day long, and it was finally time for her to take a breather now that the meal was on the table. There are two tables, the male relatives sit at the upper table, and the female relatives sit at the lower table.
Sitting at the table were Mr. Zhou, Eldest Zhou, Fourth Elder Zhou, and Elder Zhou, Zhou Yi's father, who was away doing carpentry work and did not come home. Elder Zhou and his family lived in the town. In addition to the three of them, the grandchildren of Zhou Boss's son Dalang Zhou Yang, who is fifteen years old, is studying in the town like Zhou Laosi, and his younger brother Saburo Zhou Chun is seven years old this year, and the ancients pay attention to seven years old Great defense, so the rule of the Zhou family is that once a boy reaches the age of seven, he can no longer eat with his female relatives.
The table below was lively, with Zhou's mother as the leader, Zhou Yi's eldest aunt Li Ermei sitting next to her, and beside her was her only daughter Erya Zhou Shu, who was 12 years old this year.
Then there is Wang Yan with a bunch of children, the eldest girl Zhou Zhen is 13 years old, the third girl Zhou Xian is 11 years old, the fifth girl Zhou Jing is 8 years old, the sixth girl Zhou Jie is 6 years old, and Zhou Yi is 4 years old this year.
On the opposite side is the fourth aunt with two boys, Wulang Zhou De and Zhou Yi are the same age, a month older than him, and then Qilang Zhou Wen, who is only two years old, is now being held in the arms of the fourth aunt Zheng Ying.
This is the result of Zhou Yi's third uncle's family not coming back, otherwise there would be more additions to so many Langs and girls. Before this time, Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling that family planning is really a good thing. There are only five people at the table, so naturally they can eat in a relaxed manner. And the table below is miserable. There are so many people, and there are many little ghosts. Every time we eat, it is like a war. Either you touch my bowl, or he picks up more food, and then there is a duet or The trio, coupled with the scolding of Zhou's mother and the words of several aunts, made the feeling so sour. The staple food for the Zhou family’s table is allocated by Zhou’s mother in advance. The staple food is usually corn flour mixed with sorghum, or steamed buns made of thick noodles. Only rice and thin noodles will appear on the table during festivals or when the farming season is busy. There are a total of four dishes in the middle, a large pot of tofu and cabbage soup, a large plate of shredded potatoes, a large plate of beans mixed with a few slices of pork, and then a plate of pickled wild vegetables. Zhou Yi has been in this dynasty for four years, and he doesn't know where history has gone. Zhou Yi observed carefully, and found that it was similar to the Ming Dynasty in history, food culture and currency system were not bad. Zhou Yi didn't know about the rest either, after all he didn't study history either.
Everyone is doing well, looking at the rice spoon in Mother Zhou's hand in unison. At this time, Mother Zhou is like a general who controls thousands of troops. The rice spoon in her hand is a token. Some, others are not bad, but for Zhou Yi's family, Zhou's mother can't wait to count the rice grains, for fear of giving one more grain. After a meal was allocated, Zhou Yi's sisters were only half of the others. Of course, Zhou Yi's mother would not dare to deduct Zhou Yi's meal. If Zhou's mother dared to give Zhou Yi a little less, she would usually be silent Wang Yan would definitely start a quarrel, and if Zhou Laoer found out, it would be terrible. The couple only had such a baby bump, and it would really melt if they held it in their mouths, or it would fall if they were held in their hands. Zhou Yi looked at the jobs of his sisters, rolled his eyes, and said to Zhou's mother: "Grandma, give me some more, I'm so hungry today!" The corners of Zhou's mother twitched when she heard that . I gasped, and my face turned cold: "How much you can eat for such a small person, and you will waste it later!" "It won't be wasted. I promise to eat cleanly. I'm really hungry, grandma!" Zhou Yi blinked. He looked at Zhou's mother with squinting eyes. "Mother, why don't you give Liu Lang some more, or his father is not at home, and Liu Lang is really starved to death. How can I explain when his father comes back!" Wang Yan was afraid that Zhou Yi was really hungry. , also said aloud that she can usually do some things without fighting or grabbing, but as long as the only son is involved, Wang Yan will show extraordinary fighting power. Mother Zhou's angry lips trembled twice, and she scooped a large spoonful of rice into Zhou Yi's bowl in a fit of anger, and said in her mouth: "Eat, eat, eat, everyone belongs to rats. Sooner or later, this family will be destroyed by you!" I'll eat it." After getting a big spoonful of rice, Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders indifferently when he was scolded by Zhou's mother, it doesn't matter, as long as he gets practical benefits. Mother Zhou gave Zhou Yi too much food on the spur of the moment, but she regretted it when she came to her senses, but she couldn't come back again, so she had to sullenly say something about eating. Everyone was waiting for her words. As soon as Zhou's mother finished speaking, chopsticks flew all over the table. Everyone's first target was the slices of meat in the beans.
Wang Yan was usually quiet, but at this time, in order to let Zhou Yi eat meat, she didn't care about anything. She pointed a chopstick directly at the beans, picked them up and put them in the bowl, only to find that there were three pieces of meat hidden inside.
Wang Yan was secretly happy, and gave all the meat to Zhou Yi, and distributed the beans to several daughters. The meat in the beans was the most oily, and it was good for the daughters to moisten their stomachs.
In an instant, a plate of beans was gone. Zhou Yi picked up a chopstick of potato shreds himself. Seeing that a few sisters also picked up the food quickly, I was relieved.
He left a piece of meat in the bowl, and distributed the other two pieces of meat to several elder sisters, and the elder sister shared a little with each of the younger sisters, and then gave the rest to Zhou Yi.
"Liu Lang eat quickly, these are enough for us." Da Ya said softly to Zhou Yi.
"Sister, eat it. I took out bird eggs and roasted them today. I don't really want to eat meat right now. If you don't eat meat, I'll throw it away." Zhou Yi simply used a child's special method - messing around.
The elder sister glanced at Wang Yan, and Wang Yan patted Zhou Yi's head: "Your brother gave it to you, you can eat it."
Liu Ya had been drooling at the meat in Zhou Yi's bowl for a long time, and now she got it. With Wang Yan's permission, she cheered a little, put half of the meat in her mouth, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing that the ordinary meat had entered the Erfang family, Zhou's mother's face was even more unsightly, and she wished to crush a few little bastards to death. Zhou Yi's fourth aunt held Qilang in her arms, and she was not so fast when picking up the meat, so he didn't get a piece of it. Wulang and Zhou De cried immediately when he saw that he didn't eat any meat.
"I want to eat meat, mother, I want to eat meat, milk, I want to eat meat... woo woo woo!" Goro opened his mouth and howled loudly.
Qilang, who was sitting in Zheng Ying's arms, was eating quietly, but when he saw his brother crying, he also started crying as if joining in the fun, but it was nothing but thunder.
"Eat meat, eat meat, the meat is eaten by others, you don't have to howl anymore, why don't you just cut off the meat on my body and let you eat it!" Mother Zhou was furious, secretly hating the fourth daughter-in-law was useless, All the meat was taken away by the little woman, and even her own grandson couldn't eat meat. So he deliberately stabbed Erfang's family with his words.
Zhou Yi and the others have already gotten used to Zhou's mother's yin and yang eccentricities, and they just eat without answering. The fourth aunt looked at Wang Yan begging for help: "His second aunt, why don't you give Wulang some meat? You can see that the child is crying like this." It's not a solution."
Wang Yan looked puzzled, no matter how virtuous she was, she would never give the meat from her son's bowl to others. In this family, their second room is not Zhou's mother's own flesh and blood. They are extremely mean to the children. Her children didn't see any of the things they bought when they came back.
Zhou Yi heard that the fourth aunt asked for meat like his mother, so he picked up the meat in the bowl, and ate it all in his mouth, chewing and thinking, depraved, depraved! It was reduced to the point of competing for meat with a four-year-old child.
Seeing that Zhou Yi had eaten all the meat, Wang Yan hurriedly said, "Look, Fourth Aunt, we don't have any meat here." Seeing this,
Zheng Ying couldn't say anything, so she had to coax Wulang.
At the end of the meal, Zhou Yi intentionally left half a bowl of rice: "Eldest sister, you can share the rice, I'm full."
When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up a little. The eldest girl smiled and touched Zhou Yi's head, feeling warm in her heart. He knew that the younger brother was specially reserved for them. She had already reached the age of the governor, and understood that for a girl, there are brothers to support her family and no brothers. It's totally two different things.
In the past when there was no younger brother, my father didn't care about anything other than being a carpenter, and my mother was also depressed. They were beaten and scolded for nothing. But since having a younger brother, father and mother have completely changed, and the whole person has come alive, and parents will stand up for them when they are bullied.
