At noon, Uncle Wu Youde came back.
My uncle drove a three-wheeled cart with a canopy, and there were several wooden boards in the cart for passengers to sit on. The noise of the vehicle was very loud, and it could be heard two miles away.
This three-wheeled vehicle was equivalent to a later bus.
Wu Youde was delighted to see his second uncle's family and brought down two catties of meat from the car, shouting at Zhou Fang to cook the meat, wanting to drink a couple of cups with Zhou Fu.
Two catties of fatty pork more than lean meat were cooked by Zhou Fang into two large bowls of stewed cabbage, and then she pickled a few cucumbers from her own vegetable garden and stir-fried some eggs. This is the highest level of hospitality that rural people can offer to their guests.
Zhou Fu and Wu Youde started drinking white wine, taking turns with each other in a lively atmosphere. Zhou Fang was busy serving a group of children meat, putting fatty and oily pork into the bowls of Dabao and Xiaobao.
The big treasure eats with his head down, and his mouth is full of oil. The little treasure is picky and only likes to eat lean meat, not fatty meat. He bites the fatty meat off and wants to put it in his brother's bowl.
Zhou Xiaoyun immediately stopped him: "Xiaobao, don't be picky, eating more fatty meat is good for your body. If you eat this fatty meat, you won't get sick."
The last sentence was obviously a lie to fool the child, but it fooled the five-year-old treasure, who hesitated for a long time between eating fatty meat and getting sick with injections, and that difficulty was no less than the mood of national leaders when making major decisions on reform and opening up.
Finally closed his eyes and stuffed a piece of fatty meat into his mouth, swallowing it without daring to chew much.
"Xiao Bao, you see that fatty meat is nutritious and good for the body, and it's also delicious. From now on, remember to eat more of it, okay? Eating more fatty meat will help you grow into a strong man." Zhou Xiaoyun took the opportunity to educate Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao, under Zhou Xiaoyun's brainwashing, began to think that fatty meat wasn't as hard to eat as he had imagined, and from then on, he didn't eat less. From then on, the concept that his sister's words were always right was imprinted in Xiao Bao's mind, and he lived under Zhou Xiaoyun's "tyranny".
Of course this is a later story, back to now, but said that this scene was seen by Zhou Fang without falling.
Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, who was seriously educating her younger brother, and exclaimed in surprise to her sister-in-law: "Second sister, Da Ya is really a capable girl. Look, she's still young but knows to tell Xiao Bao not to be picky about food."
Zhao Yuzhen also noticed that Xiaobao was eating both fatty and lean meat without picking, and to her surprise, Xiaobao actually listened to Da Yu's words.
Xiao Bao is young but has a strong personality just like Da Bao. He can be very stubborn at times and would refuse to eat something he doesn't want to, even if he agrees verbally.
The youngest of the four children, Xiaobao, is very picky about food. He doesn't eat fatty meat, fish, or scallions and garlic. It's hard to find something he truly loves to eat with just one hand. His weak body is closely related to his eating habits.
Zhao Yuzhen was delighted to hear Zhou Fang's praise, but she still had to pretend to be humble: "Don't praise me anymore, my eldest daughter is indeed honest and obedient at home, but not as eloquent as your younger sister Mei."
Eh, that smug look on his face was so obvious even Er Ya could see it. Zhou Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart and lowered her head to continue eating.
Zhou Fang can't help but notice, however, that she also likes the capable and sensible Da Ya. Looking at her own silly and naive Xiao Mei, she thinks to herself that although Xiao Mei seems fine normally, when compared to Da Ya who sits up straight and speaks logically, Xiao Mei falls far short.
"Second sister, don't be modest anymore. I've figured it out today. Your Da Bao and Xiao Bao are not to be mentioned, and even Ya is a sensible child. You have hope for the future now."
These words hit Zhao Yu's heart: "My aunt, I'm not afraid to tell you a joke. My family has four children, which is a bit too many. My second brother and I are also worried about how to make a living with so many children. But thinking back, after a few years of hardship, when the children grow up, no matter how much suffering we endure, it will be worth it."
Pitying the parents of the world, Zhou Xiaoyun's eyes became slightly moist.
She always felt that Dabao was both a brother and the eldest at home, most loved by her parents. Xiaobao was weak and sickly, a boy who received the most care from his parents. Er Yao, although a girl, was the youngest in the family and the most spoiled, while she herself had received the least care since childhood.
So as she grew up, her relationship with her siblings at home was not particularly close, and she gradually drifted away from her parents. Now that I think about it, which parent doesn't love their child? Although they seemed to pay less attention to her, it didn't mean they didn't love her!
Zhou Fang was chatting with Zhao Yuzhen about their children, and Zhao Yuzhen also mentioned that her eldest daughter is about to enter the first grade.
Zhou Fang was shocked, and when she heard that it was actually Da Ya's own request, she was even more surprised. Her impression of Da Ya was getting better and better, and she began to consider whether to let her own daughter, Xiao Mei, also attend school with Da Ya.
Xiao Mei, who was laughing without a care in the world, naturally didn't know what her mother was thinking in her heart, and also didn't know that her own fate would undergo a change just like Zhou Xiaoyun's.
At that time, Zhou Xiaoyun did not think that her early awakening would affect so many people around her, such as Hai Zi and Xiao Mei. If it can be said that her new life changed the trajectory of her own life, why couldn't it also change the lives of those around her? A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm in Hokkaido, how many people's lives will she affect?
Who knows now? Let's wait patiently for Zhou Xiaoyun to grow up!
