Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 19 Eating
19. Eat
"Why would you be looked down upon if you were too full?"

"Others will think that you haven't eaten good food and seen the world."

"If you haven't eaten good food and seen the world, will you be looked down upon?"

"People with compassion will not, but those without compassion will."

Xiaobao: "What is compassion?"

"It is a kind person, that is, a good person."

"Grandpa Zhao and brother Chunhua are good people, they won't look down on others, will other people in their family look down on them?"

"They won't. The Zhao family are all good people, but we are guests after all, so we must be polite. Although our family comes from the countryside, we must appear to be well-educated. A well-educated and self-cultivated person respects himself. No one dares to underestimate such a person.”

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Er Niu was thoughtful.

Xiaobao didn't understand, but he still nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll remember, when I get to Grandpa Zhao's house, I must not embarrass my eldest sister."

Zhang Yu corrected: "Don't embarrass the Zhang family."

Yingzi said: "Big girl, I won't go, I can just eat steamed buns at home, you go!"

"Yingzi, Brother Chunhua won't agree to leave you alone. If he sincerely invites you, let's go generously."

"Big girl, hearing what you said just now, I'm a little scared. I don't know what rules these city people have. I'm afraid I'll lose face by accidentally breaking the rules."

"It's okay, don't be nervous, it's not that serious, just remember what I just said."

As Zhang Yu said, he dragged Yingzi and called his younger siblings to go out. Zhao Chunhua was already waiting for them in the car.

"Brother Chunhua, is your home far from here?"

"Not far, just across the street. I'll send you to my house and return the car to others."

Indeed, the Zhao family lived across the road from their rented house.

It was a two-story house with a yard.The area is bigger, better and more magnificent than the house they rented. The furniture in the house is low-key and luxurious. The curtains are white dark forged surface. The beige fabric sofa is warm and elegant. The rectangular mahogany dining table and coffee table are simple and noble .

In such an era, such furniture and arrangements are not available in ordinary families.

I heard that Grandpa Zhao’s ancestors were capitalists, and his family was well-off. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Grandpa Zhao’s father donated all the assets of the family to support the country, and sent his only son to the battlefield.

Compared with Zhang Daniu's grandfather, Grandpa Zhao is a cultured person. After the war, he was assigned to work in the city.

His son and grandson naturally also received a good cultural education.

At this time, Zhao Wenjie, the son of Grandpa Zhao, was not only the backbone doctor of the Department of Internal Medicine of No. 1 Civilian Hospital, but also the vice president of the hospital.

He and his son Zhao Chunhua look quite alike, with three-dimensional facial features, tall and thin figure, wearing glasses, elegant and easy-going.

Zhao Chunhua, who is only 23 years old, was admitted to the medical school at the age of 16. During his university, he completed all the university courses in two years, and went to the hospital for an internship in the remaining two years. He is very good at orthopedics. With extraordinary comprehension, after graduation, he quickly achieved great results in this area. Three years later, with his excellent medical skills, he became the deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics.

His reputation spread far and wide, and many patients came to this hospital for bone injuries directly because of his medical skills.

The hostess of the Zhao family, Li Jiahui, is a middle school mathematics teacher. She looks dignified and beautiful. She is in her 40s and looks like she is in her 30s.

Seeing Zhang Yu and the others coming, she warmly smiled and warmly greeted them to sit down and gave them melons and fruits to eat.

She said to her daughter, "Chunxiang, come and meet the big girl and sister."

Zhao Chunxiang, Zhao Chunhua's younger sister, is the same age as Zhang Daniu, but in terms of months, she is two months older than Zhang Daniu, so in the book, Daniu calls her sister, but Zhao Chunxiang doesn't like her calling her that.

At this moment, Zhao Chunxiang has been looking at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is wearing a red floral jacket and braided. Although he looks very delicate, he looks like he is from the countryside.

And Zhao Chunxiang, who looks like her mother Li Jiahui, is delicate and generous, with short ear-length hair and a light green dress, which makes her skin delicate and jade-like. With the disdain in her eyes, she is a proper little princess in the city.

Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Auntie, Chunxiang and I are the same age, so we should call each other by first name! She calls me Da Niu, and I call her Chunxiang, so it looks close."

Grandpa Zhao: "That's fine, otherwise I'm called Da Niu's sister now, and after Da Niu and Chunhua get married, she will be called sister-in-law, and I won't get used to it."

Zhao Chunxiang disagreed: "Grandpa, freedom of marriage is advocated now, and arranged marriages are no longer practiced. You must keep pace with the times."

Grandpa Zhao had a serious face: "Don't think that free love is so fashionable, honesty is the foundation of life."

Zhang Yu: "Grandpa Zhao, you promised my grandpa to take good care of our three siblings. You have already done it. Now my grandpa knows and is satisfied. As for things like baby kissing, just like what Chunxiang said, it has already been done." out-of-date."

Zhao Chunxiang said excitedly: "Look, even the big girl said that, don't you feel relieved?"

Grandpa Zhao scolded his granddaughter: "When adults talk, children should not interrupt."

Zhang Yu stood up and said, "I'll help in the kitchen!"

Li Jiahui: "No, Aunt Qin is there! There is only the last soup."

Aunt Tan is a distant cousin of Li Jiahui. Her husband passed away early, so she gave the two children to her parents-in-law. She went to the Zhao family to help cook and do housework. Not only did she help the Zhao family, but she also earned some money to mail them back. Raising children.

In the book, after Zhang Da Niu brought her younger siblings to live in the Zhao family, all the housework in the Zhao family was taken care of by the diligent Zhang Da Niu.Seeing that the Zhao family didn't need her anymore, Aunt Tan went to the hospital to find a temporary job, helping out in the hospital cafeteria. Later, the wife of the chef in the hospital cafeteria died, and Aunt Qin married him.

Later, Aunt Qin's father-in-law and mother-in-law died successively, and she took her two children to live in the city.

After a while, Aunt Qin made the last soup, and everyone began to prepare for dinner.

Yingzi and Zhang Yu helped serve the rice and set the bowls.

After sitting down, Zhao Wenjie warmly greeted everyone to eat.

Yingzi, Erniu, and Xiaobao all looked at Zhang Yu, not daring to move their chopsticks.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Eat all of you!"

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl, picked up the vegetables in front of her, put them in the bowl, and took a bite with the rice.

Yingzi and his younger brothers and sisters also imitated him, and picked up the bowl, but they didn't add any vegetables, they just ate a mouthful of plain rice.

Grandpa Zhao said: "Don't be so cautious, eat vegetables!"

Li Jiahui put a piece of chicken into Xiaobao bowl.
