Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 9

The Zhou family has always been responsive to their son's requests, and Chu's father loved Ah Zhina very much when he was in Yizhou, so the Zhou family was willing to let his daughter compromise, but he would not compromise for his son. The heart of the Father holds the heaviest weight.

Chu Chan wondered, "Er Niang, today there are only mother and grandfather's share. If my younger brother likes it, can I buy fish and cook it next time? Don't worry, I have written down the recipe for cooking fish."

Zeng couldn't help but asked curiously, "Achan, how did you cook this fish? It smells too good." She never knew in her life that boiled fish could emit such a delicious scent.

Chu Chan had already prepared his speech, "A few days ago, an old woman passed by the door, begging for half a bowl of water to drink, but she didn't expect to pull me to talk when she finished drinking, at that time, Aunt Chen's house was cooking fish, and there was a fishy smell The old lady told me about this method. I tried it today, but I didn’t expect it to taste like this. The old lady is also a good person, and she told me a lot later..."

Mrs. Zeng remembered that a few days before Mrs. Zhou's return, there was indeed an old woman begging for water at the door, and she held A Chan for a long while, so she didn't doubt the truth of Chu Chan's words.

Chu Zhi got impatient with the wait and clamored for fish.

Zhou said with a smile, "His child can't eat much, just give him half a bowl."

"Nonsense!" Father Chu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the food table with a bang, his face flushed, and he glared at Mrs. Zhou, "How old is Zhi'er? He's still arguing with the patient for food and drink!" Father Chu was indeed a little irritated. He was irritable when Chu Chan was making trouble before, but when he was sick, he felt distressed. Female.

Back then when he went to Yizhou to join the army, he was favored by the corps chief in the camp, and he married the Zhou family. The monthly salary was handed over to the Zhou family and he only gave the Chu family a few hundred yuan. If he can get ahead, he will be able to live a good life with his eldest son, second son and eldest daughter. A few years later, he finally became the captain of the corps. He thought that he would continue to be promoted based on his military merits, but he never thought of it. He injured his leg during an expedition. Naturally, those in the battalion who had injured their legs could not go to the battlefield, so they had to bring Zhou Shi back here.

All these years, his salary and severance pay have been handed over to Mr. Zhou, and it is Mr. Zhou who asks people to bring money here every month. He never thought that life at home would be so difficult.

Then look at the Zhou family, the youngest daughter and the youngest daughter, all dressed in silk and satin, with a ruddy complexion, and the younger son is even more chubby, and then look at Achan and mother, they are emaciated.

Chu Yuan never hated himself more than at this moment. He went to the military camp just because he wanted to have a good life at home, but in the end, his family looked like this.

Mrs. Zhou kept silent and didn't dare to say anything. Only Chu Zhi was not afraid of his father. After all, in Yizhou, his father was very kind to him, and he responded to every request. He even yelled, "Daddy, daddy, I want to eat fish!"

Chu Yuan's expression became even uglier, and just as he was about to reprimand him, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Chu Yu and Chu Hong, who were tall and thin, walked in.

Both Chu Yu and Chu Hong looked good, with well-defined outlines. They were tall for twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, but they were very thin.

When the two came in, Chu Zhi was still yelling, "No, no, I just want to eat fish!"

The two had heard what was going on outside just now, and knew that it was the fish A Chan cooked for their mother and grandfather.

Chu Yu twitched the corners of his mouth sullenly, and Chu Hong said quietly, "My little brother still wants to eat fish. When we were this age, we had never even smelled fish."
