Chapter 25: Satisfaction
The main labor force in the family is divided into one and a half cakes today, the women are divided into one, and the children are divided into half, although Shen Yiyi is small, but because she has always been favored at home, she has always been the same as the main labor force in the distribution of food.
After the cake is distributed, even if it is time to eat, everyone almost always has the same action, first take a bite of the cake, and then several pairs of chopsticks are stretched out to the vegetable basin in unison.
Listening to the sound of everyone spitting and eating, Shen Yiyi looked left and right, and saw that the people at the two tables couldn't raise their heads when they ate, not to mention how happy they were.
It's just that what she expected is still a little insufficient, just this little cake, it must not be enough for the family to eat.
She has space and no shortage of food, but she can't eat at all, so it will be suspicious.
Shen Yiyi decided to eat only half a cake by herself, and then divided the whole one into three portions and put them in the bowls of her father, her eldest brother, and her second brother.
"No, no, Xiao Wu, you eat, you eat more." The sister fell this time, why did she fall more sensible, Brother Shen and Second Brother Shen were so excited that they hurriedly returned the cakes in the bowl to the sister.
Although Captain Shen didn't say anything, he thought that his daughter was frightened yesterday and might not be able to eat it, so he put the cake in his old son's bowl.
There is such a rule in the family, the child is less than ten years old, and he can only eat half a portion of food.
Therefore, although Shen Aimin is qualified to sit at the same table with his father and brother, because he is only six years old, he can eat a few more bites.
As the saying goes, the old son, the eldest grandson, the old lady, the root of life.
Shen Aimin can also be regarded as the old man of Captain Shen, but it is rare.
Therefore, at any meal, Captain Shen would carry his mother-in-law on his back and secretly give his old son some food.
"I actually drank a bowl of mush at the Gu family, and I'm not hungry, eldest brother, second brother, you are tired from working these days, eat more." Shen Yiyi put the two pieces of cake back into the bowl of the eldest brother and the second brother.
It's going to be the New Year, and the men in the village are doing the work of picking dung these days, and each team has a big dung heap, which has to be picked up by people in the land, and they also say that they will be picked up before the year. Compared with men, women's work of rubbing buds is much easier.
Xiaoqiu didn't know that she felt sorry for her father, her eldest brother's two children had been talking to her for the past two days, their father's shoulders were swollen, and he was tired and humming when he lay on the kang at night.
Just now she saw that Summer had stuffed the chocolate hidden in her pocket into her father's mouth.
Touching her eldest brother didn't know what she ate, she only felt that it was a good thing she had never eaten, and then she heard her daughter say that this thing was given by her sister-in-law, she was reluctant to eat it, and at that moment her eldest brother's eyes were red.
Not counting her second uncle's group, in their family, from old to young, there is no one who is not kind, and there are rumors outside that the old Shen family is good.
So it was passed on, and even this good reputation made her second uncle's family follow her, otherwise where would his eldest girl come to the door to say goodbye.
The two pots of vegetables were eaten, and in the end there was no soup left, although everyone only ate seven or eight points full, but because of the vegetables, oil and water, they were very satisfied.
After the meal, there was no need for Shen Lao Niang's instructions, the two daughters-in-law rushed to clean up, and soon brushed the dishes, swept the floor, and went to work after cleaning up.
There's nothing to do with her anymore, in fact, other people's children as old as her have gone to the team to earn work.
But isn't she the treasure of their family, her parents and brothers are reluctant, and slowly the sisters-in-law will develop a habit, and they dare not compare with their sister-in-law when they work.
