MTL - Almighty Dad-Chapter 21 Patriarchal 21

Time passes by like a passing time, autumn and winter come, Han Ze’s noodle restaurant’s business is booming as always, from having no money to pay tuition fees for the children to now a ten thousand household, the small yard rented by the family was bought by Han Ze with money, when he married Wu Hongmei The bicycle I bought was eliminated and replaced with a brand new motorcycle. The changes can be described as earth-shaking.

After several months of feeding by their father, the children have grown flesh. The little girls' faces are full of energy, their skin is fair, and they are not as thin as before. They put on new cotton-padded jackets, new cotton-padded shoes, and new schoolbags, and come out of the campus. , no different from the little girls in the town.

The three sisters have gone to school, and the fourth girl plays with her parents in the noodle restaurant every day. She is also cute, with round eyes, like a doll, very cute. The diners like to tease her. The little girl is shy at first, and slowly The timid and cowardly character becomes lively, and when meeting diners he knows, he will be the first to greet them with uncles and aunts.

The fourth girl is young, but very clever, and the child is forgetful. The aunt and uncle are kind to her. They not only cook delicious food for her, but also buy her new clothes. The yard became my own home, and I gradually stopped mentioning my original parents.

The life of the family in the town is very warm and happy. The fly in the ointment is the third girl's academic performance, which can be described as a mess. The eldest girl and the second girl are not only the top three in each exam, but at least four or five , the third girl was just in the first grade, she didn't understand the Chinese pinyin, she didn't pass the exam, and she only got ten points in the exam, which made Han Ze very helpless.

On weekends, Han Ze asked the eldest girl and the second girl to take turns giving her tutoring. He thought that the third girl should improve in the next exam, but it was still useless. Her grades were even worse than those before the tutoring.

Han Yao shook her head, very speechless. In her opinion, studying is as simple as eating and drinking, but for the third sister, studying is like Mount Everest, which can't be climbed even if you try hard. She thought for a while and said: "Dad, I Although studying with the second sister is good, the tutoring methods are not as rich as the teacher's, and the third sister just didn't find a learning method that suits her, why don't you ask the third sister's teacher how to give her tutoring?"

Han Ze sighed and said, "Next time, Dad will talk to her teacher."

The fourth girl was lying on her sister's writing desk, listening intently to the conversation between her father and sister with her small face, as if she could understand it.

Han Yao couldn't help stretching out her hands to pinch her tender cheeks, and said with a smile, "Dad, there is a kindergarten in the town, shouldn't it be time to send Fourth Sister to kindergarten?"

When the fourth girl heard the elder sister's words, her eyes widened and she said loudly, "Dad, go to kindergarten, go to kindergarten."

Han Ze was taken aback for a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked blankly, "What did you just shout, fourth girl?"

The fourth girl looked at him, her round eyes flickering, and said, "Father, go to kindergarten."

Han Ze patted the fourth girl's head. It was really not easy. After several months of hard work, the child finally changed his mind and said, "Yes, it's Dad. Dad will find you a kindergarten. Our fourth girl can go to school now."

The fourth girl clapped her little hands and kept shouting, "Daddy is going to school... Daddy is going to school..."

Han Yao smiled and said, "It's not Dad who goes to school, it's you who go to school."

The fourth girl stared: "Eldest sister goes to school, eldest sister goes to school..."

Han Yao: "..."

The fourth girl grinned widely, and kept saying, "Eldest sister goes to school... Dad goes to school..."

Wu Hongmei came in with the fifth girl in her arms, and when she heard the fourth girl's shout, she said in disbelief, "This child has changed his mind?"

Han Ze nodded in relief. The fourth girl tilted her head when she saw Wu Hongmei, and shouted crisply: "Mom...Mom..."

Wu Hongmei's eyes were moist, she wiped her eyes, and responded repeatedly: "Alas."

The fourth girl changed her words, and Han Ze heaved a sigh of relief. He felt grateful to his brother-in-law who raised the child. He glanced at Wu Hongmei and asked, "Have you not returned to your mother's house for a while?"

Wu Hongmei nodded, since she moved to the town, she has been busy all day long, and rarely goes back to the Han family village, let alone her mother's house.

Han Ze said: "I remember that the grandma of the children should be sixty-eight. Let's go back and see them tomorrow."

Wu Hongmei hesitated: "The noodle shop is closed?"

Han Ze: "Let's go in the afternoon and come back in the afternoon, instead of having dinner at your mother's house, tomorrow morning, you go to the street to buy some clothes and shoes for your mother, so that your mother will be happy."

Wu Hongmei sighed happily, glanced at her husband, and said after deliberating, "Buy clothes and shoes for my mother, should I also buy clothes for my mother-in-law?"

She has been trained by her mother-in-law for more than ten years, and her obedience to her has become a habit. Even if they moved to the town and bought something for their natal family, they couldn't help worrying that her mother-in-law would be dissatisfied when she found out.

Han Ze glanced at her and said, "You can figure it out."

Wu Hongmei wondered what it meant, her man had always been filial to her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law and Mr. Han made up lies to deceive the family members about the younger sister and third brother, and her man didn't say anything about it. Don't forget to let her give her mother-in-law pension money. Since the man didn't explicitly refuse, he still hoped that she would buy clothes for her mother-in-law, right?

Thinking of this, Wu Hongmei said: "Okay, my mother-in-law is about the same height and thinness as my mother. I will buy clothes for them tomorrow."

Han Ze just nodded and didn't speak.

...

Wu Hongmei spent more than one hundred yuan to buy a silk cotton jacket for the two mothers. Considering that she was going back to her mother's house, she weighed a few catties of fruit, cut a few catties of meat, and bought two bottles of wine for her father. She reluctantly bought it.

After earning money at home, Wu Hongmei’s ideas still haven’t changed. As before, she is reluctant to eat or wear clothes. When she goes back to her mother’s house to buy some things, she calculates and calculates everything. She usually sees Han Ze buying clothes and shoes for a few children for ten yuan. Ten yuan for Han Yao's pocket money, she felt distressed, thinking, how can she spoil her child so much?

…

The arrival of the daughter and son-in-law, Wu's father and Wu's mother were of course pleasantly surprised, especially when they saw the motorcycle the son-in-law was riding, which made the old couple stunned. The girl has no money to pay her tuition fees, and after a few months, she even bought a motorcycle. A motorcycle costs thousands of dollars, and the son-in-law can afford to buy it. Does it mean that the girl's family is rich now?

Wu's family is not in Shuangji Town, and they usually don't go to Shuangji Town when they go to the market. Although the two elders know that their son-in-law opened a noodle restaurant in Shuangji Town, they are busy with farm work all day long, and they don't have time to visit. How is the business of the noodle shop? Seeing how their family is dressed now, I think the business is going well, right?

"Why do you buy me clothes? It's a waste of money." Wu's mother touched the padded jacket her daughter bought for her, complaining in her mouth, but she was very happy in her heart. She had never worn such a beautiful padded jacket.

Wu Hongmei smiled and said, "Han Zerang bought it, saying it was a birthday present for you when you turned sixty-eight."

"This kid will spend money recklessly. It's good to have that money to buy some food for the children."

Mother Wu laughed from ear to ear when she heard that her son-in-law asked her to buy it. Obviously, her son-in-law's filial piety made her more happy than her daughter's filial piety.

Wu Hongmei whispered: "The children are not short of stuttering."

Mother Wu looked at her daughter's expression and sighed. It seems that her daughter's life is really easy. How can she say that the children are not short of stuttering? After years of suffering, it is time to enjoy happiness.

"Is the fourth girl still used to it when you go back?" Mother Wu asked thoughtfully, looking at the new clothes on the fourth girl and the red flowers on the braid.

Speaking of her daughter, Wu Hongmei started to talk more: "Mother, you don't know, the fourth girl didn't make a fuss the day she went back with us. The child's father made dumplings, and the little belly was full. The eldest girl took a bath for her. , fell asleep on the bed. The next day their father took them to buy clothes, the fourth girl was overjoyed, and after that, she never made a fuss about coming back, but she was good."

Mother Wu was very surprised and asked, "Really?"

Wu Hongmei nodded with a smile, Wu's mother patted her on the arm, and said: "This child is destined to be with you. She is also lucky. Now that you are living well, she will go back. It is better to enjoy happiness with her uncle."

At least her uncle has never bought a piece of clothing for the child.

Mother Wu paused and asked in a low voice, "Han Ze really doesn't plan to have a son?"

Wu Hongmei shook her head and said, "He's had a vasectomy, what happened to him?"

Mother Wu's eyes widened: "Really?"

Wu Hongmei said with certainty: "Really."

Mother Wu took her daughter's arm and asked in a low voice, "Can your mother-in-law agree?"

That old woman values ​​her grandson more than anyone else, and if her son-in-law is going to be sterilized, she won't make a fuss.

Wu Hongmei glanced at her: "Of course I don't agree. When Han Ze went for the vasectomy, he didn't tell her about it. Later, she found out about it. He was so angry about it that he passed out and stayed in the hospital for a week."

Mother Wu curled her lips, thinking she deserved it, as if thinking of something, she asked again: "She didn't settle accounts with you, did she?"

Wu Hongmei glanced at her mother, "She couldn't find me. In the final analysis, it was my old lady's fault. Han Ze always believed in Han Laoxia's words, and believed that he had no son's life, because Han Laoxia used to count on my sister-in-law and uncle. Fate, everything came true, and then I decided to go for the ligation, but it turned out that my old lady made it up in order to let Han Ze and the others support my sister-in-law and uncle to go to school and work."

"What?" Mother Wu couldn't believe that there was such a mother, she was really confused.

Wu Hongmei looked at her and said, "That's why Han Ze went to have a vasectomy. After all, it's my mother-in-law's fault."

Mother Wu: "..."

Wu Hongjun was very interested in Han Ze's motorcycle, and asked Han Ze for the key, so he wanted to try it. The two richest families in their village bought motorcycles a long time ago, and he was so envious at that time. At night, I also dreamed about the scene where my family bought a motorcycle. Although my sister’s motorcycle is not my own, it’s okay for him to ride it for a while.

Nian Aiying did not expect that the fourth girl had changed so much in just a few months. Seeing her, instead of running over to call her, she hid behind her brother-in-law and looked at her quietly, looking very scared, as if she was eating a child She was a bad person, which made her a little depressed. After raising her for a few years, she turned out to be a white-eyed wolf.

What made her even more puzzled was how did the sister-in-law's family have money? Even the motorcycle is equipped with it, which really complies with the saying: three days after a farewell, we should treat each other with admiration.

It seems that you can't look down on anyone, maybe when they will become prosperous.

...

After opening the noodle shop, Han Ze rented out all the land because he didn't have time to clean up the family's land. He didn't have to worry about the crops and farm work in the land. They lived in the town and had nothing to do, so they seldom went back to Han's Village.

Everyone in Hanjia Village knew that Han Ze made money by setting up a stall selling noodles, bought a front house in the town, and opened a noodle restaurant. They all envied Mrs. Han's sons who were all promising, and the most honest Han Ze was well-off.

Mrs. Han is full of bitterness. The eldest son earns money selling noodles, and Wu Hongmei sends her endless living expenses on time every month. She should be happy, but she just can't be happy. She hasn't seen her eldest son for a long time. I don't know what he has become now.

For the first time, Mrs. Han regretted what she had done before. She lived in the house of her second son for several months. This son is true, he really treats her well, only the eldest son Han Ze obeys her in everything, and the other two sons are self-care cowards.

And the only eldest son who listened to her, but because of her, lost the descendants of the family line. Thinking of this, she felt infinite regret and annoyance in her heart.

The days passed smoothly, two new streets were added in Shuangji Town, and Han Ze spent all the money in his pocket, taking the opportunity to buy five storefronts. The fourth girl had already gone to school, and the fifth girl also ran around. In the noodle restaurant, Han Ze recruited two young apprentices and planned to train them. The apprentices did the dishes and cleaning, so Wu Hongmei was free.

Living in the town for the past two years has broadened Wu Hongmei's horizons. She is no longer the cowardly woman who was shy and inferior because she couldn't give birth to a son. The man bought five frontages, and his mind was wide open, wondering if she could also start a small business.

As soon as she mentioned the idea to Han Ze, Han Ze denied it without even thinking about it. Wu Hongmei was very disappointed. If the man did not support her, it would be useless for her to have any ideas. After all, the money in the family is earned by the man.

Han Ze explained to her: "Doing business is not as easy as you think. With the grades of a big girl, I will definitely be admitted to the high school in the county next year. I plan to open a restaurant in the county, and the noodle shop in the town will be handed over to Dawei."

Dawei is one of his apprentices.

Wu Hongmei was taken aback. She knew better than anyone else how much money the noodle restaurant made. She was very reluctant to hand it over to Dawei. After thinking about it, she asked, "Can Dawei's cooking skills be competent?"

Han Ze knew that Wu Hongmei had misunderstood him, and said, "Let Dawei be the cook. Although Dawei's cooking skills can't catch up with mine, it's okay to make do with it. I will come back every now and then."

If he didn't come back, he was worried that the diners would make trouble.
