Siheyuan, a primordial wonderland

Old Lady Zhang and Old Man Zhang looked at the harmonious scene of people greeting each other and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction...

No matter how difficult these days are, family happiness is still very important.

But suddenly, the two of them looked at each other, as if they remembered something, and their faces turned a little bad.

And their sons and daughters-in-law, who were greeting them below, saw the expressions on their faces and instantly knew what they were thinking!

There was a middle-aged man standing below, and a middle-aged woman next to him reached out and pushed the middle-aged man next to her, as if to indicate something...

After receiving the middle-aged woman's signal, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and then he stood up and said...

"Dad, Mom, I heard from the people in Wangjia Village that my younger sister and her family have hired a live-in son-in-law!

He is very capable. He has already brought my younger sister and Yue'e into the city. Can you ask him to come back during the New Year to help our family?

Look at the second and third sons, and the other children in their family. You see, life is hard and difficult these days..."

The middle-aged man was obviously the eldest son of Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Zhang.

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang, who were originally smiling, immediately stopped smiling after hearing what their son said.

Especially the look in Old Man Zhang's eyes when he looked at his boss, made Boss Zhang, who had been educated by his father since childhood, couldn't help but shudder!

But the middle-aged woman behind him, obviously Boss Zhang’s wife, came out and said…

"Dad, Mom, you can't be partial!

In the past, when my younger sister was in trouble and came to our house to get something, we let her take it.

Now that they have a good life, they can’t just ignore us!”

With the eldest son taking the lead, the rest of the second and third sons, as well as the second daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law, instantly felt like they had found a punching bag, and they all started to complain bitterly...

The joyful atmosphere that had been so hard to create during the New Year was completely dispersed.

Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Zhang looked at their three grown sons and their three daughters-in-law like this, and couldn't help but look at each other and sigh...

"Ugh!"

“Okay, don’t say that in front of these kids.

Today is Chinese New Year, so let's be happy and don't make it difficult to celebrate the New Year."

As the head of the family, the old man's words still carry a lot of weight.

After he spoke, everyone else fell silent!

He did not continue speaking, and some of the children present seemed to sense the solemn atmosphere. The hall, which had been filled with laughter, instantly returned to silence.

The eldest, the second and the third, the three brothers of the Zhang family looked at each other and nodded!

Then everyone put smiles back on their faces.

Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang had no idea what their sons' plans were, but from what they had just said and their actions, they knew that they had already discussed it privately.

Saying this to the two of us now is just to inform the two of us.

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang sighed in their hearts again. What was going on?

In the past, when Zhang Dahua was in trouble, she came to our house to borrow things, and it’s not like she wouldn’t return them!

I just said I was in trouble and wanted to borrow something...

But even so, the eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, and the second daughter-in-law, even last time, just a few months ago, they started cursing and directly scolded their youngest daughter away.

Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Zhang only found out about this matter after they returned from work.

The two of them were very angry at the time, and that incident directly frightened our three daughters-in-law.

After all, since they married into the Zhang family, they have never seen their father-in-law get so angry.

Even the three sons of the Zhang family were so timid in front of the angry old man Zhang that they dared not say a word...

However, no matter how angry Old Man Zhang was, the problem still had to be resolved.

So after scolding his three daughters-in-law, Old Man Zhang prepared some rice and flour and planned to send them to his daughter to help her get through the difficult times.

But the three daughters-in-law seemed to be determined and directly usurped the power of the three brothers of the Zhang family and stopped old man Zhang's action.

Eventually, the matter came to nothing...

Since that incident, Zhang Dahua has never come to the Zhang family again.

However, although Zhang Dahua did not come to the Zhang family, with the help of Chen Ping, the son-in-law, the news of Zhang Dahua's family spread to several surrounding villages...

This includes Zhangjia Village and the Zhang family!

In the end, this activity of paying New Year's greetings to the elderly on the first day of the new year was interrupted.

However, no matter how noisy a family is, they still have to live their lives...

It was not until noon that the family prepared the New Year's meal and put it on the table. Everyone sat around the table.

Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Zhang sat in the first seat, while the other sons and daughters-in-law of the Zhang family sat around them.

As for their children, they sit down if there are seats and stand if there are no seats. This is still very common in rural areas.

Because there were too many people at home and there was no room for everyone to sit down, I just took a bowl, got some rice and some dishes, and went to the side to eat.

And today, there seemed to be a meat dish on the table because of the Chinese New Year.

This is a plate of boiled pork slices, which is the result of their family's hard work throughout the year.

Before the meal started, this plate of boiled pork slices had already attracted everyone's attention.

As it is a rural area, there are no chefs like those in the city, and the boiled pork slices have all kinds of seasonings.

In the countryside, boiled pork slices are really boiled pork slices. Just add a little salt and cook it and you can eat it.

If you still want more flavor, you can burn some chili peppers over the fire and make them into chili ash to dip in the soup.

Today is Chinese New Year, and it also marks the end of a year of hard work for the Zhang family.

At this moment, Old Man Zhang at the table looked at the whole family, forgot about the unhappiness in the morning, and said directly...

“Well, last year has passed and the new year has just arrived.

Congratulations on our new year and new beginning..."

As he spoke, Old Man Zhang raised the bowl in his hand, which contained some wine, which was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Loose wine, very cheap...

But people in rural areas are not that particular, as long as they have something to drink, it’s fine.

When the eldest, second and third sons of the Zhang family saw their father like this, they all raised the wine in their hands and toasted their father.

Then, everyone started eating and drinking at the table.

Suddenly, the Zhang family's house was bustling with activity...

But while they were eating, a jeep appeared at the entrance of Zhangjia Village and drove towards Zhangjia Village...
