Although Congrong was angry, he was still busy cleaning up the food after returning home. Fang Chang'an and Fang Changming finally went to the small restaurant in Fanglucheng, the south of the village to pick up the vegetables, and then called Fang Lusheng, Fang Lupeng, Fang Luyong and Fang Changfeng.

A few people came over, said hello, sat in the main hall, and started chatting.

Based on Fang Chang'an's experience, there are not many people who have completely let their wife cook alone, but there is no doubt that women still assume most of the responsibilities, and Fang Luguo is more about urging or serving dishes.

Children and women don’t go to the table, but Fang Lusheng, Fang Changfeng and others will basically ask for a meal together. Fang Changan and others naturally refused very sensiblely, and they all helped to cook fire and serve dishes in the cramped kitchen.

The fried vegetables at home are all vegetarian dishes, braised dishes, and cold dishes from the store. Fang Lujun is never stingy when it comes to eating and drinking, so he bought more of each serving, so he also placed two plates here.

Fang Changming and Fang Yanran often touched pieces of meat to eat. Fortunately, after several educations from Fang Chang'an, they all remembered to use chopsticks and knew to feed their mother and brother one or two pieces.

I took four dishes and made cold cucumbers and pineapple eggs at home, fried potatoes, green peppers, celery, Fang Chang'an and Fang Changming took them over. The steamed buns on the coal stove were already hot. I calmly asked the three children to eat them first, and then cooked spinach and egg soup on the stove, and I also ate them in front of the kitchen chopping board.

It was already dark, and the main hall was drinking, playing and bragging, and clamoring. The mother and son sat around in the cramped and worn kitchen. The dim light of the tungsten filament light bulb also had a kind of warmth that made people feel peaceful.

Fang Lujun came over again, looked at the mother and son, and whispered: "Is the egg soup ready?"

Look at him calmly, put down the steamed bun and stood up, Fang Lujun said, "Forget it, eat yours, stop the child saying I don't know how to feel sorry for their mother..."

Calmly, she didn't say anything, and went over to take a spoon to serve the soup. Fang Lujun waited to serve it and brought it to a pot.

Consciously asked Fang Chang'an and the others: "Chang'an, do you drink it?"

Before Fang Chang'an could speak, Fang Changming took the lead and said, "I won't drink."

Fang Yanran said: "I don't drink either."

Both of them were full and wanted to watch TV inside, but they were afraid that my mother would not allow it, so they were struggling here.

Fang Chang'an put a bowl of soup, broke half a steamed bun and put it in it to soak it. Suddenly, someone in the yard laughed softly and said, "I haven't finished it yet?"

Fang Chang'an looked over and saw a middle-aged woman who was a little fat in the yard and bent down to look here. She was Fang Lusheng's daughter-in-law Chen Qiaoqiao, and Fang Ying's mother.

"Hey, sit inside."

Calmly stood up and greeted him, Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "You eat yours, you eat yours, I've finished eating what I'm coming over, I'm afraid I'll drink too much again."

Calmly sat down and continued to eat, sighing, "It's useless to say it, and I can't help it."

Fang Chang'an winked at Fang Changming, so Fang Changming gave out the small stool he was sitting on and shouted, "Master, please sit down."

"It's okay, you're ready to sit down."

Chen Qiaoqiao was busy and polite. Fang Changming had already run out and said, "I'm full."

Chen Qiaoqiao came over and sat down. Fang Changming saw that his mother had no time to care about her, so he sneaked into the main room and went to watch TV. Seeing this, Fang Yanran thought she slipped out quietly.

Fang Chang'an was still eating soap buns slowly, listening to his mother chatting with Chen Qiaoqiao.

Men gather to drink and play cards, while women gather to gossip and chat together. This is basically the norm in Fang Chang'an's impression.

Chen Qiaoqiao and Congqing complained about the problem of these men's love of drinking. In fact, Fang Chang'an's impression, Fang Lusheng was relatively restrained in drinking. He rarely got drunk. Unlike Fang Lujun and Fang Luyong, no one was required to persuade him to drink, so he had the determination not to get himself drunk.

After saying a few words, Chen Qiaoqiao looked at Fang Chang'an and smiled and said, "I heard from Yingying that Chang'an won the first place in the school in this exam?"

Fang Changan said shyly and modestly: "The basic test does not count."

"That's amazing, too."

Chen Qiaoqiao praised with a smile, "Not one of our family is the material for school."

She and Fang Lu have four children. The eldest, Fang Ying is one year older than Fang Chang'an, and the second, Chang Yi is a few months younger than Fang Chang'an. She is a classmate in elementary school. Now she is in the junior high school in the next village. The third, fourth, and Fang Changming and Fang Yanran are in the same level. They are all in elementary school, and their grades are indeed a mess.

Fang Changan smiled but did not answer.

Asked calmly, "How is Changyi now?"

"Oh, that's still the same."

Chen Qiaoqiao sighed, "Just two days ago, the day before yesterday, their teacher called and said he was fighting with his classmates in school..."

Nowadays, in rural areas, there are not many parents who really value schooling. Fang Lusheng and Chen Qiaoqiao are not among them. Fang Ying and Fang Changyi are not good at studying, and it is not that they are stupid, but that their parents rarely care about it.

When parents were disciplined, their grades were basically as they pleased. Fang Changyi's grades were actually good. In the third grade, he could still be around ten in the class, and then he slowly started playing, but his parents didn't care. The more they played, the more they went off the road, they started to step on the accelerator and went downhill.

Since ancient times, China has had the value of "everything is inferior, but only studying is high". Both Chen Qiaoqiao and Fang Lusheng have this concept. Therefore, if the children at home have good grades, they will naturally be happy and feel that they may have a "college seedling".

If the grades are not good, there is no way. I sent them to school and gave them the opportunity to go to school. This is enough. If they don’t cherish them, they will not blame themselves in the future.

Their energy and time are mainly focused on how to make money, saving more family business for them, and letting them get married, and their responsibilities will be completed, and they will help you in the future.

This is a comparison for parents.

It is naturally a glorious thing for children to be good at grades, otherwise Fang Lusheng

However, the most important thing is in the college entrance examination. The pride of being admitted to the university is to glorify one's ancestors. If you don't get the exam, you will still go out to work.

At this time, the university has not expanded significantly like in later generations. It is a very precious creature and it is difficult to take the college entrance examination. Since it cannot pass the exam, it is better to go out to work early to avoid wasting time.

This time point is basically in junior high school. Of course, many of them have finished high school or failed to get into high school. Their family is in good condition and will be sent to technical schools. At least they have been working for three years and then go out to work.

Children of other people's age are always going to school, so you can't stay at home, as you will be laughed at by others.

Fang Chang'an and his siblings have both achieved good grades. Fang Chang'an is particularly outstanding. He is a good student who has been famous in the village since elementary school. Chen Qiaoqiao is somewhat envious of this, thinking that Fang Lujun has accumulated virtue and his children are sensible.

But that's all. She still looked down on this family. After complaining about her son, she changed her mind and said, "Oh, it's not a material for studying anyway, so she's just graduated from junior high school, and then find something for him to do and learn some skills..."

I still hate his inconvenient tone here, and then I became light and casual: "No matter what he is like, with your big car, we will never worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law anyway."

What this means is that even if our son has poor grades and no longer has the ability, we and my wife will be there to earn a family business and arrange a way for him to live a good life.

Combining the scene before and after, there is another hidden meaning here, that is, you are calm and Fang Lujun incompetent, but the meaning of this derogatory layer is more obscure and vague, and it is also possible to interpret it as a simple show-off.

The calm mind is delicate and sensitive, and naturally I can hear Chen Qiaoqiao's implicit voice. Combined with her past personality and her somewhat domineering and mean personality, I can only understand it in a direction that is more in line with her personality.

But in fact, people live better than their own family. Not only does they have more land, but they have harvests. Fang Lusheng also bought a big truck, traveled for transportation in his spare time, or rented a car to others, which made more money than in the field.

It is said that Fang Lusheng was playing cards outside the next year. Chen Qiaoqiao looked for him late at night. Fang Lusheng won at first, but she didn't shout. She watched her husband play cards and helped command. Later, she lost. She was not convinced and went home to get the money for Fang Lusheng and asked him to win back. The couple lost more than 8,000 overnight.

This incident has been circulated in several surrounding villages. On the one hand, he talks about it with relish, and on the other hand, he is also stumbled on the fact that his family has a strong foundation. After all, it is rare to take out 8,000 yuan from his family in rural areas these days.

He was calm and generous since childhood. After getting married, he gradually developed a very patient temperament. He was unhappy, but he did not show it. He still chatted with Chen Qiaoqiao about family matters.

Chen Qiaoqiao regained the face of losing his child's poor grades and was in a happy mood. She didn't have any sarcasm next, but she couldn't help but show some pride when she spoke.

For example, when she asked Fang Lujun about to go out to work, she sighed: "It's hard to make money outside. She left her hometown and was not familiar with the place. You don't have a phone call at home, so it's not convenient to say anything..."

Congyan just sighed and said, "I can't make money at home, what can I do?"

After chatting for a while, Chen Qiaoqiao went to call Fang Lusheng to go home, and Fang Lujun and the others dispersed. Fang Chang'an followed his parents to send him out.

Fang Lujun was drunk and sent the person away. He wanted to ask his parents for hello. He calmly persuaded him but didn't stop. He sighed helplessly, and simply went home to clean up.

Fang Changming and Fang Yanran were still watching TV in the inner room. Fang Changan helped his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at her expression, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, how much money can someone who runs transportation outside like Uncle Sheng earn in a year?"

Congqing was not surprised by the maturity her son showed recently, and hesitated and said, "I don't know much, there will be a few thousand dollars."

"That's a lot."
