Chapter 109 3 Aunt's Thoughts
At this time, the third aunt smiled and said, "Mom, it's like this. There are so many people in the family to feed, why not do this! Let the eldest brother and the second brother go to help, and let Yuankun and Zhao Lin clean up the river in the village. This way the family will also have an income, don't you think so!"
Yuankun is the name of my third uncle, Zhao Yuankun, and the eldest son of the third wife is called Zhao Lin.
The grandmother thought to herself, you sound nice, but if the two of them go to help and don’t pay, will you pay?
I definitely won’t hand it over.
When Song's mother heard her third sister-in-law say this, she wanted to speak up, saying that the work on her side was easier, less tiring, and she also got paid.
Just about to speak.
Shen Xia walked over Song Jiang under the table and pulled the corner of Song's mother's trousers.
Mother Song saw that it was Shen Xia's hand.
So he didn't say anything.
At this time, Shen Xia said: "Well, my grandmother and my third aunt are right. A family must have some income."
"Is that all? Just let the eldest uncle and the second uncle come to help."
At this time, the aunt said: "Xiao Xia, let cousin Zhao Yuan go to help as well!"
Zhao Yuan is the eldest son of his uncle, seventeen years old. Why does he call Shen Xia his cousin?
Because he followed Song Jiang's shouting.
In their eyes, Shen Xia and Song Jiang are one, so when they call someone, they are following Song Jiang.
Shen Xia glanced at Zhao Yuan. It might be because he often did farm work, so although he was not as tall as his elder and second brothers, he was also strong.
When the second aunt heard this, she also said, "Xiao Xia, our eldest brother Zhao Yun should go with you! It will be great for company."
After all, the things that fourth sister just sent were not bad, so I have to go and help out a little.
Besides, regardless of the current situation of the fourth sister, it would be good for her to move around more.
It would be fine if I could help my man in the future, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t help.
Even with my sister's personality, she would never treat her family members badly.
Shen Xia looked at his two cousins: "Are you willing?"
The two did not say anything else, they always listened to their mother, and nodded, "Yes."
At this time, Zhao Lin from the third uncle's family looked at the third aunt and said, "Mom, my two brothers are going, I want to go too."
The third aunt pinched him under the table and said, "Why are you going? Your aunt's house can't accommodate so many people."
At this time, my grandmother thought of this: "You guys repair the house and let your uncles build a shed to sleep in. The weather is hot now, so it's okay."
Song Jiang also said at this time: "Then I'm sorry to trouble my two uncles and two cousins."
At this time, Zhao Xue, who was sitting at the back right, shouted: "Mom, I want to go too, can I go?"
The eldest aunt looked at her daughter and said, "Why are you going? Your aunt's house is full and you can't repair the house. It will also be a waste of food."
Zhao Xue had a depressed look on her face. She had originally thought that she could get along well with her cousin's wife, but she didn't expect that her mother would disagree.
Shen Xia looked at Zhao Xue and thought that there was a lot of work to do at home. With one more person, she could help pick mulberry leaves, which would be a good opportunity for her to learn.
Xiaowu and Xiaotian also need to spend more time reading.
Then he said, "Aunt, if my cousin wants to go, just wait for her! She will live next to me and mother."
Zhao Xue was very happy when she heard this: "Thank you, cousin."
Shen Xia smiled and looked at her grandparents: "Grandpa, grandma, when the house is repaired, you can come and stay occasionally if mom misses you."
Grandma laughed and said, "How can I disturb you like this without being laughed at by others?"
Song's mother also said: "What does it matter? It's not like you have to stay here for long. I will miss you too! My brothers should let me show my filial piety as well."
Overall, I enjoyed the meal.
For the Zhao family, it can be said that there is never more than one meat dish on the table.
Today there are three kinds.
And the quantity is so sufficient.
Grandma still took out a lot of white rice, so everyone had a full meal.
It’s just that my third aunt feels a little hurt.
It's just too expensive!
A few men were drinking wine, and after finishing their meal, they cleared the table and only the drinkers were left.
At night, when sleeping, each of the three people in the room had two rooms, and the old couple had one room.
One room each was vacated in the first and second houses for the Song family, and Song's mother and his mother lived in one room.
Grandpa, you and your eldest uncle and second uncle share one room, and your two oldest cousins share one room.
The eldest aunt shares a room with her two younger children, and the second aunt and her youngest daughter.
The only ones left were Song Jiang, Song Jin, Xiaotian, Xiaowu and Shen Xia, who were all sharing one room.
Oh my goodness.
I really want to say, we all know it's going to be crowded,
Shen Xia was definitely not satisfied with this arrangement, because in her own world, a couple could not sleep in the same bed in other people's homes.
Later, I thought about my aunt's youngest son.
He is a man and it is not convenient for him to sleep with his sisters.
I suggested to switch with him. The kid was very happy to sleep with Xiaotian because he had played with them in the afternoon.
Then he slept with his eldest aunt and her daughter and his second aunt and her daughter.
It's more convenient for us to sleep together since we are all women.
Later, Shen Xia took a look at her second aunt's youngest daughter, Zhao Xin. She looked very much like Song's mother, and even had a very similar personality. She was also gentle and kind, and the whole family liked her very much.
It seems like I’m twelve years old this year.
In fact, when the second aunt saw Zhao Xue from the eldest family going to the fourth sister's house, she also wanted to let Zhao Xin go, but she thought that Zhao Xin was too young and could not do much work.
She is not like Zhao Xue, who is capable at a very young age.
Don't let Zhao Xin get angry when she goes there and doesn't do much work and still causes trouble for her aunt.
Before sleeping together at night, Shen Xia still chatted with her two aunts for a while.
They just talked about some trivial matters, nothing else.
The eldest aunt also handed over to Shen Xia: "Xiao Xia, if your cousin doesn't work and causes you trouble, you can send her back."
Zhao Xue retorted: "I wouldn't! I'm so diligent."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, auntie, don't you know what the situation is with your own child? Don't worry."
My aunt asked again, "Xue'er, why do you suddenly want to go to your aunt's house?"
Zhao Xue spoke slowly: "My cousin's wife said that girls must be capable in order to choose a better partner. Mom, I'm almost fifteen years old, and I'm old enough to go on a blind date. I want to learn something in the next two years so that I can choose a better partner."
When the aunt heard this, she didn't expect Xiaoxia would teach her daughter these things.
As a woman myself, I knew what my daughter said made sense.
I can also see that Xiao Xia is a prejudiced child.
There should be no problem for children to learn something from them.
It’s just that my son is already seventeen years old and has not yet married. The marriage was arranged many years ago, and I have been talking to my in-laws since the eldest son was fifteen.
They said my daughter was too young and I should wait another two years.
This wait lasted another two years. I mentioned it again last month, but they said there was no rush.
