Another summer has arrived, and the busy farming season has begun. The production teams below the county town are naturally once again bustling with activity, yet some things are moving silently...
As midsummer arrives, letters from afar fly into the hands of each educated youth. What’s inside them, no one knows, and they haven’t caused a stir.
However, the news in the newspapers often provokes deep reflection in those who are concerned...
In such an atmosphere.
For a continuous period, if it wasn’t Old Zhang’s family’s great-grandchild turning one year old, it was another family’s outside great-grandchild reaching a hundred days old, or a grandson’s wife or an outside grandson’s wife preparing to give birth...
The phrase "prosperous people" is perfectly applicable to Old Zhang’s family.
According to Mother Zhang, in the future, there won’t be enough tables during New Year. But thinking about those planning mothers from the family planning office who always talk about birth control, it’s still better to have children early, who knows if they will really enforce it.
On this day, after Zhang Mingyou’s wife gave birth, Zhang Meili sent her mother back to the yard, barely saying a word before heading home.
She’s not worried about anyone cooking at home.
She considers her three daughters-in-law to be sensible and filial. Not only does each family voluntarily hand over ten yuan every month, but they also actively arrange housework among themselves.
But how can she know what’s happening behind the scenes?
As Zhang Ziwen admonished his brother, their parents worked hard to raise them, and after marrying, the sons should let their parents enjoy a few good years with the daughters-in-law serving them. Otherwise, if the three brothers all move out, can you guarantee that your wife and children won’t be taken away to their maternal home?
——Endure, endure until the new daughters-in-law deeply understand how to be filial to the in-laws!
Although things don’t always go as expected, with the children of the three brothers being born one after another, causing chaos, involving even their mother with all the busyness.
But living together isn’t without benefits; at least the three daughters-in-law are closer than when they first met, no longer as distant and courteous.
Of course, there are causes for such effects.
Zhang Meili and her husband had long followed the style of her maternal family, letting the children separate.
With no property disputes, each being dual-income workers, they don’t even need to submit their salaries, and even when there are occasional minor squabbles between the young couples, the in-laws are partial to them.
Do the three daughters-in-law lack understanding?
"Big sister is really something, I even wanted to talk to her for a bit."
Mother Zhang glared at her family’s second son, thinking what’s wrong with leaving it until tomorrow to speak. Delay any longer, and the three grandsons will come out looking for their mother.
"Forget your sister for now, even Yaya has had two children. But you, Mai Sui is the same age as Yaya, already a 22-year-old girl, why haven’t you found someone yet?"
As for the roll of the eyes from his old mother, Zhang the Second is indifferent, but mentioning the daughter, he’s quite troubled: "It’s not like I didn’t try to persuade her, as soon as her mother starts talking, she slips away, this cheeky girl is not afraid of having nowhere to stay."
"Isn’t she most obedient to you?"
This Zhang the Second admits.
But precisely because of this, he is even more unwilling to wrong his daughter. Although having a son to continue the family line is more important, isn’t she still his flesh and blood?
Moreover, the girl frowns, pointing out problems in each candidate he suggests... either they aren’t as tall as her brother, or the opposing family has a pile of troublesome issues...
There’s also someone who, upon meeting her, doesn’t read the subtleties, talks endlessly about her younger uncle, thinking sinister thoughts as if she is a stepping stone?
Well... not to mention the children, even he feels those wild kids don’t deserve his talented and beautiful eldest daughter!
"Destiny is determined by heaven, let her be. Anyway, once Shi Tou gets married, we can guide her to look at people."
