Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 5 The Zhang Family's Only Hope
When Zhang Jiali heard that there would really be fish soup to drink, she jumped for joy. She felt that today was the happiest day of her life. Not only did her mother agree to buy her a hairband, but her brother actually caught a fish and there would be fish soup to drink in the evening.
It would be great if it could be like this every day, but she thought the idea was too much. What kind of family could have such conditions? Having meat to eat every day would be like heaven!
“How many fish did Lao Wu have in total?
Did you make fish soup out of all the fish?
Not much oil, right?
You really don't know how to save money!
Why not add some salt to marinate it? You can have another meal tomorrow!"
After hearing this, their mother started to scold the fifth sister, fearing that she had used too much oil when cooking. There was only a little oil in the house, and it would take another month to use.
"I didn't put any oil in the fish soup, but it tastes great. Mom, you can try some later."
The fifth child, Zhang Jiamei, saw that her mother was a little angry and quickly explained.
After hearing this, Zhang Jialiang hurried out of the house and said to his mother:
“Mom, I asked my fifth sister to do it, mainly because we didn’t catch too many fish, just a few small ones.
Besides, the weather is so hot, it will go bad if you leave it tomorrow.
We haven't had meat at home for a long time, so drinking some fish soup can satisfy our cravings.
You and grandma should drink more. Grandma is old and you are very tired from work. I will go fishing tomorrow and maybe I can catch some fish.
We will drink fish soup often in our family from now on. Fish soup is good. It has high nutritional value, does not consume a lot of oil, and can satisfy your cravings.”
When Wang Shujuan saw her son come out to explain that he had asked her to do it, she just glared at him and said nothing else.
As for what her son said about drinking fish soup every day, she did not believe it. She just thought he was bragging. How could anyone drink fish soup every day?
The family of the director of their steel rolling mill would not have such conditions.
"Okay, it's almost time. I'm hungry too. Let's eat. I want to try the fish my grandson caught."
The old lady in the family was afraid that her daughter-in-law would continue to complain about her grandson, so she quickly changed the subject and said that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
Since the old lady had said so, dinner would begin immediately. Everyone hurriedly packed up and the fifth sister swiftly brought dinner to the table.
First, he served a bowl of fish soup to grandma and mom, which contained two relatively large pieces of meat. Then he served another bowl to Zhang Jialiang, which also contained a lot of fish meat.
As for the rest of the sisters, they all had the same thing, one bowl each, except that there was much less meat in the bowl, and there was almost no meat in the soup. However, the sisters were not surprised at all and acted as if it was their normal thing.
“The fish soup is delicious!
Third brother, you are awesome!
The three uncles next door are not as good as you!"
After tasting the fish soup, Zhang Jiali looked intoxicated and started to flatter Zhang Jialiang.
“This is all because my fifth sister can cook, and it tastes really good!
It tastes good, so drink more. Eat some meat. There are too many fish bones on the meat, so I don’t like it.”
After Zhang Jialiang finished speaking, he divided the fish in the bowl into two pieces, gave one to the eighth sister and the other to the seventh sister.
All of a sudden, eight pairs of eyes in the family stared at him. Zhang Jialiang had never done this before, and would give the meat in the bowl to others.
"Okay, stop looking at me.
My seventh and eighth sisters are still young and growing, and there are indeed too many bones in the fish, and I don’t like to pick them out.
Don’t think too much. If it was braised pork, I wouldn’t be willing to give it to others.”
After saying that, Zhang Jialiang quickly finished two cornmeal steamed buns, drank a large bowl of fish soup, and said that he was full and wanted to go out for a walk, so he quickly left the house.
It's really that a house full of women is too sentimental, and he doesn't want to face this situation. Seeing that his family is so serious about a bowl of fish soup, he should really think about how to improve the conditions at home.
In this world he enjoyed the treatment he had never enjoyed in his previous world. In their family he was the most favored one, doted on by his grandmother, favored by his parents, taken care of and concerned by his elder sister, and even his younger sisters always gave in to him.
As for the reason, it is because he is the only male among eight children in his family. He has two older sisters and five younger sisters. He is the only son and the only hope of this generation of the Zhang family. He is the only one to carry on the family line.
There are ten people in their family. The one with the highest seniority and status is his grandmother, who is 65 years old this year, but is still in good health.
His grandmother was a very strong person, both in their home and in the courtyard. Take Jia Zhang, who was the number one troublemaker in the courtyard. She was very afraid of his grandmother and did not dare to provoke her easily.
His grandmother had come through a rough journey in an era of war and turmoil. She had witnessed many life and death struggles and experienced many hardships and setbacks.
My grandfather died of illness at an early age, and my grandmother raised my father alone through a difficult life. Naturally, she developed a strong character who was resolute and obedient, so she had the highest status in the family.
His mother was originally a child of a wealthy family in that era. She attended a private school and was well-educated. However, her family later fell into poverty and she ended up living on the streets and was rescued by his father.
Later, with the help of his grandmother, the two got together and formed a family. Since his mother was well-educated and a great beauty, and his father was plain-looking and short, he was naturally afraid of melting if he held her in his mouth or dropping her if he held her in his hand. He always obeyed his mother's words.
After liberation, his mother found a job in the logistics department of a steel rolling mill. Since she was educated, good-looking, and earned money, her status was naturally high.
The third person is himself. Although his grandmother has a strong and domineering personality, she dotes on him and is always kind and amiable to him, never saying harsh words to him.
Even though he was naughty as a child and did nothing when he grew up, his grandmother still thought he was the most handsome boy in their family.
His mother was even more so, even more so than his grandmother. All the good food and clothes in the house were provided to him alone. Even his youngest sister Zhang Jiali, who was 12 years old and in elementary school, could not compete with him.
His elder sister cared about him, and his younger sister gave in to him. They never fought with him for anything and always chose after he had chosen the rest.
So now he is 20 years old and he doesn’t have to go to work or do any work. He can sleep until 9 o’clock, and the meals are prepared for him. After eating, he can wander outside at will.
If he wants to change his family’s poverty, he has to rely on his system, and his system requires him to be unable to work.
