Money life

Chapter 142 New Years
After a while, the water boiled, and my aunt put the wrapped dumplings into the pot.

The dumplings were cooked quickly.

Seeing that the dumplings were cooked, Liang Tianqi took out the firecrackers that he had prepared a long time ago, set them up at the door, and asked, "Mom, are the dumplings ready? Can the firecrackers be lit?"

"Okay."

Liang Tianqi turned on the lighter and lit the firecrackers.

"Papapa..." The sound of firecrackers filled the whole house in an instant. The house was closed, and the sound of firecrackers echoed in the house, deafening.

Liang Tianqi ran into the house after lighting the firecrackers, and stood with Zhang Yanjiang, waiting for the firecrackers to burn out.

"Woof..." Tuanzi hid behind Zhang Yanjiang in fear, stretched out his head and called out to the firecrackers.

The paparazzi heard the sound of Tuanzi and ran over. It was more courageous than Tuanzi, but it was also very afraid of the sound of firecrackers, but it was much calmer than Tuanzi.

"Let's eat." My aunt brought two bowls of dumplings from the kitchen and said to Zhang Yanjiang and the others.

They nodded in agreement, and also entered the kitchen to help serve the meal.

After everything was served, everyone sat and ate together, looking very warm.

While they were eating, there was still the sound of firecrackers. My aunt was very happy to hear the sound of firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers meant that they were not the last family to eat.

Zhang Yanjiang didn't understand why they had to eat earlier than anyone else's. He didn't think such a competition was interesting, but he guessed that it might be a custom to celebrate the New Year like this.

After dinner, my aunt asked Xiao Xue to wash the pot, and then to add oil.

Zhang Yanjiang didn't know what they meant by "Guo You", and only after asking Liang Tianqi did he find out that their popular Chinese New Year croquettes were called "Guo You".

It dawned on him.

Xiao Xue went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while the aunt and grandma were busy making things needed for croquettes.

Zhang Yanjiang, Zhang Jianzhi, Liang Tianqi, and my aunt packed up the things that were going to be burnt at the grave, and after dinner during the New Year, they went to the grave to send some money to the elders and family members, and wish the New Year.

While Zhang Yanjiang was following Liang Tianqi to fold the paper for the grave, there was a noise from the kitchen.

"How did you do it? You can't even stir batter? Why are you so stupid?" The angry voice of my aunt spread to the ears of everyone in the main room.

"I……"

"What me? What are you doing?"

Zhang Yanjiang and Zhang Jianzhi looked at each other, put down the papers in their hands and went to the kitchen, the uncle and Liang Tianqi also put down the papers in their hands, and followed them to the kitchen.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw Xiao Xue and my aunt standing together. In front of the former was a porcelain basin for kneading noodles, while the latter looked at the noodles in the porcelain basin with disgust on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jianzhi entered the kitchen, came up to his wife, and protected her behind him.

"Jianzhi, do you see that Axue stirred the batter? What are you stirring? How can I make croquettes? How do I use it?" Seeing Zhang Jianzhi coming, my aunt said, pointing to the batter in the porcelain basin.

Zhang Jianzhi glanced at the batter in the porcelain basin, this is no batter, it can be used for dough.

"Auntie, Ah Xue didn't know how to make croquettes. She doesn't know how to make these. There is no croquettes in Shanghai during the Chinese New Year, and she never fried them. If she eats croquettes at home, she always buys them on the street." Zhang Jianzhi defended looking at his wife.

"Why didn't she say it? Isn't this a waste of my face?"

"I told you, let me try it, if it doesn't work, you can do it." Xiao Xue said dissatisfied.

"Who knew you could do this?"

"Auntie, don't you just think I'm a girl, do you think my parents treat me so badly? Don't you just think women should know how to do this? I can't do it, did I say it? You insist on me I did this, I did it, can't you blame me? Who did I provoke?" Xiao Xue felt aggrieved.

At home, Zhang Jianzhi treats her like a princess, and Zhang Yanjiang treats her very well, how can she be so angry?She usually just enjoys the new year, why is she so busy?

When she came here, she had tried her best to do everything well. Who would have thought that her aunt, who had always looked down upon her, would still not want to see her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to satisfy her aunt.

It was like this when I was a child, and it is still like this now.

"Just say a few words about you and you have such an attitude? Axue, I'm doing it for your own good, why don't you understand? I'm your aunt, will I still harm you?"

"Okay, let's not say a few words. You really are, Axue is here for a reunion, not to help you with housework." The great-aunt was also a little dissatisfied, glared at his wife, and said with some reproach.

"She is a junior, why should I serve her?" My aunt still ignored her.

Xiao Xue went out, Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly chased after him.

Zhang Yanjiang felt bitter in his heart.

"Really, I can't do anything, come here to be an uncle? Who should serve her?" Seeing Xiao Xue left, the aunt was still complaining endlessly.

At this moment, Zhang Yanjiang seemed to understand what kind of contradiction existed between Xiao Xue and his aunt, and this contradiction made the relationship between the two of them not good.

And this conflict can only be resolved by themselves, and he can't help at all.

Xiao Xue hates that her aunt treats her as a woman in everything and asks her to do housework and do what a woman should do.However, in her eyes, what her aunt said a woman should do was not what she agreed with.

It's no wonder, after all, she does very little housework at home, basically she and Zhang Jianzhi do it together, and most of them are done by Zhang Jianzhi. She is only responsible for making handmade dolls, doing what she wants to do, and taking good care of her. Own.

The most important thing is that Zhang Jianzhi really dotes on her and never lets her have any grievances. The housework is also done together by the family, and they even cook a meal together.

My aunt is still adhering to the old thinking that men shouldn't do housework, but women should do housework, and a woman who can't do housework is not a good woman, and she doesn't even deserve to be called a woman.

In Xiao Xue's heart, this was almost like a neurosis, but because of her aunt, she could only endure it.

But there is a limit to human patience, and once it exceeds the limit, it will explode.

Because of this, the conflict between Xiao Xue and her aunt had been accumulated since Xiao Xue was young, and it was impossible for them to reconcile unless they could change their minds.

But they haven't changed their minds for so many years. Obviously, it is difficult to change their minds.

However, the two of them need to have a good talk, at least it can make each other feel better and not be so harsh.

On the aunt's side, Zhang Yanjiang was really helpless, so he could only hand it over to Liang Tianqi.As for Xiao Xue, he can persuade Zhang Jianzhi together.

This quarrel was just a small episode today, but it made everyone unhappy.

The joy of the New Year has diminished in this home, and the sound of firecrackers is still ringing outside.
