Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

The third uncle guarding the door did not disappoint him. After seeing the few small fish in his hands, he came over quickly and said nice things. His movements were extremely swift and agile, which did not match his age at all. He said nice things but actually he wanted to take advantage of him.

"I fished all day and only caught a few small fish. My family hasn't seen meat for a month. My grandma is old, so I have to make fish soup for her.

I won’t drink anymore. I drank a little too much last night and I still feel dizzy now.

Okay, I'll ask my sister to cook the fish, and I'll go back first, Third Uncle."

When I got home, I saw that except for my fifth sister who was cooking, everyone else was busy making matchboxes.

All the daughters of the Zhang family were very diligent and efficient at work. They could paste a matchbox with just a few flips of their fingers. They were so focused on their work that they didn't notice Zhang Jialiang coming back.

After arriving at the kitchen, I saw my fifth sister Zhang Jiamei busy cooking. Dinner was still simple, corn porridge. In addition to a cornmeal steamed bun for each person, there were also dishes brought back from the steel mill canteen by my mother and third sister Zhang Jiaxiu.

These dishes were saved from their lunch breaks and enjoyed by the whole family in the evening.

Everyone else had one steamed bun, but as the only male in the family, he could enjoy two steamed buns by himself.

Seeing these meals, and thinking of his grandmother, mother, elder sister and younger sisters at home, all of whom have thin bodies, and who are busy from morning to night, eating little and working more every day, Zhang Jialiang's eyes became moist.

He controlled his emotions and handed the few small fish in his hand to his busy fifth sister.

"Fifth sister, here are some small fish. Let's cook some fish soup. Our family hasn't had any meat for a long time. Drinking a bowl of fish soup can help everyone satisfy their cravings."

Zhang Jiamei looked up when he heard the sound and saw his third brother walk into the kitchen, handing him a few small fish.

Zhang Jiamei's eyes lit up. Although there were not many small fish, they would be a delicious meal if cooked. Everyone in the family could drink a bowl of delicious fish soup. She was very happy when she thought of this.

"Third brother!

You went fishing again!

That’s really good. You actually caught a fish!

Now grandma and mom can drink the delicious fish soup. Just wait and see, I am the best at making fish soup!

Third brother, take a break, the fish soup will be ready soon."

The fifth sister happily stood up, took a few small fish, and started to work.

The fifth sister Zhang Jiamei is the best cook in the family. She has loved eating and cooking since she was a child. Perhaps it was because her family was poor that made her crave for food.

The fifth sister is very motivated about cooking. She always tries her best to make ordinary food taste better, and she is very talented in this aspect. Although she has not formally studied cooking, she is very good at ordinary home dishes, so the fifth sister is responsible for cooking at home now.

Back in the house, he poured two glasses of water and brought them to his grandmother and his mother.

"Grandma, Mom, drink some water and don't be too tired! Why don't you let me do it and you both go and take a rest."

Seeing that his grandmother, who is over 60 years old, is still working hard and making matchboxes every day, she wears reading glasses, her hands and feet are not as flexible as before, and she looks a little clumsy. Zhang Jialiang feels really heartbroken.

"My dear grandson, grandma is not tired, how can you do these things.

Go to your room and rest for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready.

Grandma has been making matchboxes for many years and is very skilled at it. You don't have to worry about it."

While drinking the boiled water brought to her by her lovely grandson, his grandmother looked at her eldest grandson with a smile on her face. Seeing that there were still some beads of sweat on Zhang Jialiang's head due to walking home, she asked him to go to the room to rest for a while with concern. Zhang Jialiang had never done the job of pasting matchboxes, so she was not willing to let her eldest grandson do such trivial odd jobs.

Similarly, Zhang Jialiang's mother Wang Shujuan also rejected the suggestion that she take a rest and also asked him to take a rest as he was tired after walking such a long way.

"Eighth sister, why are you so fast at making matchboxes today? Are you more serious than usual?"

Zhang Jialiang saw the youngest child in the family, Zhang Jiali. His eighth sister is 12 years old and is only in the fifth grade. After the summer vacation, she will go to junior high school.

The daughters of the Zhang family are all clever and hardworking. Although Zhang Jiali is the youngest child in the family, she is not spoiled at all. Like her other sisters, she started making matchboxes from an early age.

But today, seeing her working quickly and well, and being particularly active, which was different from usual, Zhang Jialiang became a little curious.

"Third brother, mom promised me that if I can make 4 matchboxes this month, she will buy me a hair tie. I have liked that hair tie for a long time. This is great. I must make of them!"

Eighth sister answered excitedly, her eyes were full of light at that moment. Eighth sister has loved beauty since she was a child. Although her family conditions were not good, she was always the cleanest one in the house.

She likes to buy all kinds of small things that girls like. She is reluctant to spend any pocket money and saves it all. It usually takes her a long time to buy a little thing she likes. This time her mother agreed to buy her her favorite hairband but she had to complete the task, which made her full of motivation.

poor child!

That’s 4 matchboxes, more than 1300 a day!

Zhang Jialiang made up his mind that now that he had some income this month, he would fulfill his sister's little wish.

Originally, Zhang Jialiang also wanted to join the team of making matchboxes, but the woman of the family was unwilling to let him do this job, thinking that he was in the way, and quickly sent him back to his own room.

After a while, the smell of fish soup came from their kitchen.

“Why do I smell fish?

Fifth sister, have you cooked fish?

Where did our family get the fish?"

This was the voice of his seventh sister Zhang Jiating. She was usually very timid and seldom talked to people outside, even at home. She was a little better at home because they were all around her family. But it was very rare for her to be so startled as she was today. She was pasting matchboxes when she suddenly smelled fish soup. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but scream out.

"Third brother went fishing today and caught quite a few fish, two big ones and a few small ones. I made fish soup for them. We will have delicious fish soup tonight. Are you happy, Seventh sister?"

The fifth sister came out of the kitchen and spoke to the seventh sister with a smile.

"is it?

Is there really fish soup to drink?

Our family hasn’t eaten meat for a long time. It’s great. We have fish soup tonight!”
