Chapter 42 Change ([-])

Du Fangfei saw her younger sister's head was listless, so she couldn't help comforting her softly: "It will get better. At least now there is a change. You don't need to live in the cowshed, but you can eat in the upper room, right?"

Du Fangling nodded and turned his head.

Yes, if the younger brother can be admitted to the scholar again, then their life will be better.

Thinking of this, she perked up again.

For many years, the sisters have never been in the upper room, especially the young Du Fanghui, because when his father died, he didn't remember anything, and he had no impression of what the upper room was like.But she was timid, she kept her head down after entering, and didn't dare to look up at all.On the contrary, Du Fangling, knowing that his grandfather and grandmother had changed their attitudes, would not care about such trivial matters at all, but he took a good look at the table, table, vase and other decorations in the house as soon as he entered.

"Sit down, let's all sit down." Du Chensheng sat at the first table and saw that the people in the third room were all standing in a restrained manner, so he waved to Du Jinning, "Brother Ning, you are a man. table."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Du Fangling turned his eyes away from the decorations and turned to the dishes on the table.

For a long time, she has been looking forward to eating white rice and meat like the people in the second room.But the food on the table in front of her made her eyes widen in surprise.

There are two tables in the room.The next table closest to them had only two dishes, boiled cabbage and stewed radish, which seemed to have no oil or salt, and the rice bowl beside the table contained corn mush instead of rice.

How is this different from what they usually eat in the cowshed?The cabbage and radishes are grown by themselves, they are worthless, and they are eaten out of nowhere, but the two dishes in front of them don't seem to add two drops of oil.

Du Fangling's eyes moved up and landed on the table above.

There are also boiled cabbage and stewed radish on it, but it is obviously different from the one on the next table-the boiled cabbage is covered with minced meat, and the radish is stewed with the bone; in addition, there is a plate of fried peas. bacon.And in the rice bowl next to the table, there is white rice.

Du Jinning was not like Du Fangling, who only focused on the decorations. She had already seen the clearly differentiated food on the two tables, and she didn't make a sound.But at this moment, when Du Chensheng invited her to sit at the first table, she smiled: "No, grandfather, I will sit at the same table with my mother and my sister."

As he spoke, he gestured to Chen Shi, helped her to sit down, and sat down beside her.

Du Chensheng's face darkened slightly, he felt that Du Jinning didn't know what was good and bad, and she pushed her back when he praised her.But when he saw the food Du Jinning was holding up, he suddenly changed his color and turned to look at Niu Shi.

Niu was reaching out to serve the bowl, and when she saw the old man glaring at her, she was still puzzled: "What's the matter?" Thinking that the old man hadn't served him well, she directly handed the chopsticks in her hand to Du Chensheng.

Du Chensheng originally wanted to take care of his wife's face, restrained himself from getting angry, and taught his wife behind his back after the meal, and made the food the same tomorrow.It can be seen that Du Jinning was sitting at the table over there with a calm expression, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the difference in the food at the two tables.But her expression was calm and unwavering, but Du Chensheng didn't dare to think that she really had no idea.Did she insist on sitting at that table, did she just isolate them in her heart, and didn't have any intention of accepting him at all?
If so, what's the point of him paying for her to study?
He made a calculation in his heart and felt that subduing Du Jinning was much more important than the old woman's face.

Immediately, he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, glared at Niu and said, "Since I asked Brother Ning and the others to come and eat together, it means that we will eat the same food as a family in the future. What did you do?" ? Don’t you understand what I just said?”

Niu was a little confused, but soon understood.

Du Chensheng had analyzed the pros and cons for her, so she naturally knew what Du Chensheng meant.

She glanced at the five people sitting at the table. Although she felt sorry for the food, she finally said: "You didn't make it clear. Okay, from tomorrow onwards, we will be just like us."

Du Chensheng was satisfied when he saw that his old wife had shouldered all the responsibilities. He pointed to the plate of fried bacon with peas and said, "Take this plate to that table."

Originally, Mrs. Chen had heard Mrs. Niu say that she would come to this house to eat together, and she had already been circling various thoughts in her mind, wondering if it was because of Du Jinning's cleverness that her father-in-law was going to change her attitude.But this idea is so beautiful, so beautiful that it has become an unrealizable dream in the past ten years, and she still can't believe it is true.

But now that her son heard what his father-in-law and mother-in-law said, she was sure that her dream had come true.

To make it easier for the daughters, don't just care about their interests and disregard their life and death in marriage, she has already recited Amitabha, and she really doesn't care about what to eat.

It's just about studying... She looked at Du Jinning, and her heart suddenly felt bitter again.

She can't change what Du Chensheng decided, and now is not the time to reveal Du Jinning's identity.Forget it, let's take a step at a time.When the three daughters are all married, at worst she will take Du Jinning and escape to other places.In short, she has been ashamed of this child in her life.

Seeing that Niu brought the dish to their table with a straight face, she hurriedly declined: "No need, this dish is for the elderly of course. We can eat whatever we want." She took the dish back in a daze.

Du Chensheng is very satisfied with Chen's generosity and decency, which is much better than that of Yao who only cares about food; Niu is very satisfied with Chen's wit.

In the end, Du Chensheng made the decision to keep this dish, but asked Niu to change the stewed radish with bones with the stewed radish at Chen's table. Chen did not dare to refuse any more, and accepted the kindness of his parents .

Du Jinning's expression was always calm, as if she didn't mind eating anything, which made Du Chensheng subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this situation, Du Yunnian looked thoughtful, but he didn't say anything, and finished his meal in silence.

After dinner, Mrs. Chen led her daughters to clean up the table, and Du Jinning also went out together. Then Du Chensheng said to Du Jinshou: "In the future, you can no longer bully Brother Ning. If you let me see, you Kneeling there like your mother and not allowed to eat."

Du Jinshou is usually quite a bear, but in front of the serious Du Chensheng, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and he dare not breathe heavily.Hearing this, he nodded hastily.

"Okay, let's go back." Du Chensheng glanced at his son and waved.

Du Yunnian led his son out the door.

Du Chensheng then said to Niu: "Didn't I tell you to cook the same meal? What are you doing?"

"Didn't I think, anyway, Brother Ning ate at the men's table, and there were only four of them, mother and daughter, at that table, so did they cook that kind of meal?"
