Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 89
88. Chinese New Year
"She's not self-taught. Our son is a college student, so it's more than enough to be her private teacher."

"Even so, she can't do it."

"That's her business."

"You accept this bet because you expect her not to succeed?"

"Based on my more than 20 years of teaching experience, she will definitely not succeed. I admit that she is quite smart, but no matter how smart she is, it is impossible to do it."

"So, you clearly know that the big girl will lose this bet, and you just want to make this bet with her, because you just disagree with the two children, and now you can justifiably oppose them being together."

"I disagree. My point of view has always been clear and never hidden. She wants to prove herself. Why don't I give her this chance?"

"This is not her chance, it's your chance!"

"That depends on her ability. If she doesn't have the ability, but dares to say such big words without shame, it shows that her character is not good."

"If she really loses, do you think your son will let go? You haven't seen that the two of them are inseparable now."

"If she loses and doesn't keep her promise, even if our son insists on marrying, we can't do anything about it, but she, Miss Zhang, won't be able to hold her head high in front of me for the rest of her life."

"Your thoughts are terrible. They say that the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal problem. You are an elder, educated, and everything is in harmony at home. Can't you let go of your obsession? Except for being uneducated, a big girl is strong in everything, Besides, whether she has education or not does not affect her being a good wife and daughter-in-law. You were worried that she would not be educated and her children would not be able to be a mother, but you see, how well they educate their younger siblings , I don’t need to say about your academic performance. You know better than anyone else. You are polite, sensible, strong in life, and decent in words and deeds. What are you dissatisfied with? She has no education because her family conditions do not allow it. Why do you choose How about clinging to this insignificant question?"

"Zhao Wenjie, I also do it for the good of our son. Both of us are educated people, and our son is also a college student. Two or three generations of us are educated people. Why do we have to marry an uneducated daughter-in-law? Our three generations Human efforts, when it comes to her, why do they go back?"

"Jiahui, you are usually quite reasonable, why are you so terribly paranoid about this matter? I have said so much, but you didn't listen to a single word. It depends on a person's character and ability. Most importantly, many people without culture have also made great contributions.”

"Don't talk about those useless things with me. It doesn't matter to me what other people do. I only care about my three-acre land. She asks for a bet. If she can do it, I will respect her and keep her promise."

Zhao Wenjie sighed helplessly.

"Go and help in the kitchen, no matter what you say, they are still guests. Do you let the guests cook?"

"What I wanted to go just now was not that you blocked me and said so much was useless."

When Li Jiahui arrived in the kitchen, her son and eldest girl had already washed all the vegetables that should be washed.

"Mom, look, what else do we need to do?"

"Slice the pork belly to make steamed meat, and then chop the ribs into [-]-inch-five lengths. There is another piece of meat, cut into minced meat, to make meatballs, and the tenderloin, to be sliced, to make boiled pork slices, then The fish was also killed."

Xia Yunbo killed the fish, Zhang Yu cut the meat, and Li Jiahui did other preparations. The three cooperated tacitly and were busy in the kitchen.

Zhao Wenjie came in and said, "There is still something going on in the hospital. I'll go there. You guys are too busy. Call Chunxiang to help!"

Zhang Yu said: "Uncle Zhao, you have something to do! Don't call Chunxiang on this matter, we can get it done soon."

Xia Yunbo was also afraid that his sister would come and say something bad, which would cause trouble for nothing.

"Let's forget about Chunxiang! She doesn't usually do housework, and she doesn't need to come here after the Chinese New Year with us as helpers."

Li Jiahui knew what her son was thinking, so she didn't say anything, but she felt a little uncomfortable. It was really like what her daughter said, when her son had Mrs. Zhang, he didn't care about his sister and mother, and always took care of her. For the sake of Zhang Da Niu.

It is a custom in Nanshi to have a reunion dinner early on the New Year's Eve, so that every day in the coming year will be eaten early, which means that the coming year will be safe and smooth, and the whole family will sit down and eat together early every day.

Therefore, on the day of the New Year's Eve, every household eats the New Year's dinner very early. After two o'clock, they hear people setting off firecrackers one after another, which means that some people have started to eat the New Year's dinner.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when the Zhao family ate New Year's dinner.

Zhao Wenjie also came back early for the reunion dinner under Li Jiahui's urging.

A large table full of dishes was placed.There are sixteen dishes in total, nine meat dishes and seven vegetarian dishes.

Xia Yunbo made two special dishes, one is steamed sea bass and the other is fried mushrooms. These are two of Zhang Yu's favorite dishes. He originally planned to stir-fry bitter gourd and scrambled eggs. I can only give up.

Zhang Yu cooked a few home-cooked dishes, all of which were vegetarian dishes. In fact, she knew how to cook a lot of hard dishes, but she didn't think it was necessary to show her cooking skills too much in front of her future mother-in-law.

She was afraid that after she behaved, she would become the cook of her husband's family for the rest of her life.

Anyway, the mother-in-law's family usually has an aunt who cooks. Her cooking skills are average, not surpassing the aunt's, so that you can enjoy the aunt's cooking skills, and you won't have to work so hard.

Zhang Daniu made such a mistake. She was so capable that she robbed her auntie's job. She replaced her auntie and became the free nanny of the Zhao family. My sister-in-law is not waiting to see you.

The lessons learned from the past are there, and Zhang Yu will naturally not repeat the same mistakes.

She explained to Li Jiahui: "Because the family is poor, she hardly cooks any meat dishes, and she only cooks a few vegetarian dishes."

Zhang Yu's words were reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, Li Jiahui naturally believed it.

Xia Yunbo knew the level of Zhang Yu's culinary skills, but he could only obey Zhang Yu, knowing that she didn't want to expose his true level, so there was a reason for her.

Erniu and Xiaobao had never seen so many dishes, and every dish was delicious.

When they first arrived in this city half a year ago, they saw the Zhao family's sumptuous dinner, and now they saw the Zhao family's even more sumptuous New Year's dinner.

But they knew that they couldn't embarrass the eldest sister, so even if the food was delicious, they didn't act so eager and gobbled it up.

On the contrary, Zhang Yu felt sorry for the two children and frequently gave them food.
