Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

The old lady didn't know that the little nagging she thought of casually made everyone who followed have various guesses and ideas.Just the old lady's own thoughts: talk about something, maybe forget it after talking.However, if you don’t say it, you will forget it. It’s better to say it and let everyone remember it, isn’t it better?

The sun was setting, and there was still a trace of heat in the yard under the sunlight of the day.The evening wind blows, and you can still feel the heat left over from the heat.It makes people feel the body heat unconsciously, and the old lady who is afraid of heat immediately feels the heat on her back, and she breaks out fine sweat.

Seeing a pool in front of it, and a pavilion on the pool, the old lady thought: a place with water is supposed to be cooler, so she said:

"Let's go sit in the pavilion for a while!"

Jia Amnesty immediately agreed:

"What mother said is that the pavilion is built on the water. It's not so hot to sit there at this time." After finishing speaking, she walked over and picked up Jia Lian with one hand and supported the old lady with the other.

The old lady is satisfied. Although the cheap son is cheap, he is quite filial.The son in the previous life was also quite filial, but after 12 years of their marriage, probably the daughter-in-law said in front of him that she and the old man had not had much trouble, and that they had had a bad relationship.

She still remembers that her son bought another house.At that time, the old man already had the tendency of old children, and he liked new things.Thinking that I am just such a son, it would be nice to be able to live with my son occasionally, and to cook for my grandson.

It was January when the son entered the new house, and the weather was quite cold, so the old man secretly hid the new toothbrush and new towel in the pocket of his coat.

I, my daughter, and the daughter-in-law of my son's friend are cooking in the kitchen.The daughter-in-law accompanied their natal family to chat in the living room.

The old man wandered around in the new house, looking at five bedrooms and two living rooms, one for his son and his wife, one for his grandson and one for his granddaughter, one study room and one guest room.The old man thought: I can occasionally live for a day or two to see my grandchildren.

However, the old man saw that the bed in the guest room was full of clothes, and when he opened the closet, it was also full of clothes for his daughter-in-law.The old man went to the living room and asked his daughter-in-law:

"Xiao Wei, why don't you tidy up the guest room?"

"It doesn't live with people, so there's no need to clean it up."

"Clean up, tidy up, I will cook for Ding Ding and Dangdang occasionally, and I can stay for a night or two."

"We don't want you to cook, and we don't want you to live with us. This new house doesn't want you..."

Because the living room is not far from the kitchen, the old lady and daughter also heard the conversation between the two.The daughter-in-law actually talked to her father-in-law in front of her natal family.I am an old woman and cook for them like a servant, I feel very uncomfortable.

Then, I saw the old man coming into the kitchen with aggrieved face, red eyes, and some choking, and said to her:

"Old woman, I, I won't eat, so I'll go back first."

If the daughter-in-law was talking about the old lady herself, the old lady would probably not be so angry.But the old lady is very defensive, and she can't see her old man being angry at her daughter-in-law when she is old.She and her daughter came to cook for that woman, she was shameless, what shame did she have as an old woman?The old man left, and she still stays here as a maid?

The daughter was even more angry, she turned off the gas, lost the spatula, and was about to leave with herself and the old man.Before leaving, he told his son's friend's daughter-in-law:

"Gao Qing, Qiu Li, you two have worked hard!"

The two also smiled awkwardly and said:

"Auntie, Uncle, Eldest Sister, they are almost cooked, shall we leave after eating?!"

"No, the things here are too expensive, we can't afford them."

After his son knew they had left, he even accused the two of them of being so instigated by his daughter to disrespect him.The old lady was disappointed and angry with her son at that time, but said coldly:

"Since you don't believe what your parents and sister say, and think that everything your daughter-in-law does and says is right, then you don't have parents and sisters like us. We are not the only ones who heard this. We are Gao Qing and Qiu Li in the kitchen together."

Later, I heard that the two young daughters-in-law went home and told their husbands what they had heard.The son also asked for proof, and then came back to apologize to them.

But the old lady endured for half a year without saying a word to her son.Even if the old man forgave them, she couldn't get over her anger.The child she raised doubts her mother, she feels cold!

Even if she forgives, the old lady is cold to her daughter-in-law.My son is my own, I have admitted my mistake, apologized, and forgiven.The daughter-in-law is someone else's daughter, and the in-laws had been speaking for their own daughter at the time.It's also cold, and I don't have much contact with each other. I have become the kind of passerby who greets me as soon as I meet.

The old lady's temper has been so straightforward and defensive all her life.It's okay if you are wronged a little bit; if your family is wronged, she can hate you for a while, and then treat you as a passerby.

Later, he went to live with his son because the old man was in a daze, and all he could think about was his son.And since that incident, the son and his daughter-in-law also have some ideas.Later, when she went back to live in her own house again, the old lady could bear it to the limit, fearing that she would quarrel with her daughter-in-law if she lived any longer, so she took the old man home.As for the matter of her son and his wife, she was too lazy to care about it or talk about it.

Now look at this cheap son, he is much more filial than his own son!Seeing that the previous one didn't treat him well, but he can still be so filial, it's already rare!Although, filial piety was very important in ancient times.But not everyone is so filial.

Although Jia Amnesty is a little foolish and filial, it is also a kind of comfort to the old lady!It is impossible to see the pro-son, pro-grandson, and pro-great-grandson.Although the cheap son is not his own, he is filial!So the old lady felt that she should treat this cheap son as her own son in the future!

As for Jia Zheng, who always claimed to be noble but didn't even get a scholar, in her eyes, he should be regarded as the younger generation with this body!If I don't live with them in the future, why should I care so much?

The whole family sat down in the pavilion, and a servant girl came in with tea...

The pavilion on the water is indeed much cooler than the house you live in!

So, the old lady, who never thought of enjoying it, said to Jia She who was sitting next to her:

"Xie'er, help me to see if I can build a house by the lake. In this way, it will be much more comfortable to live by the lake in summer!"

After hearing what the old lady said, Jia She stood up, looked around, and said:

"It should be possible. Tomorrow my son will find someone to make some plans. Then we will see what kind of house we want to build."

Everyone wanted to stay in the pavilion for a while, and seeing the sky darken, they went back to their houses...

The old lady didn't forget her fundamentals just because she enjoyed two days of rich life.It's because this old lady, not to mention watching the opposite side of the TV, even going to the square to watch other old ladies dance is an extravagant wish!It's not easy to even go out for a walk.Some time ago, in order to ease the relationship between the former old lady and Jia Amnesty, she pretended to be kind and detained him by her side to preach.

Later, Jia Amnesty went to check on the servants in the family. Except for the servants, it would be boring enough to be accompanied by no one.Ask Jia Amnesty to find some scripts to read. Although the reading is very difficult, the only memories left by the former old lady are not many fragments of reading and studying.Although the old lady still learned traditional characters when she was in school, she didn't read them for decades, and she didn't remember much.Even relying on guesswork and guessing is over.It is very difficult to do this to pass the time.

The old lady who was bored couldn't understand the account book that the cheap eldest son found by ransacking the house!So I found my own dowry account book.She first wrote the uppercase numbers and Arabic numerals correspondingly.Then he redraws the grid of his own dowry Zhuangzi and the account books of the shop to make a simple income and expenditure account book.

Even with some memories of the former Taijun Shi, the old lady wasted a lot of paper when drawing the grid.Think about how easy it is to use pencils and ballpoint pens in the past!It also saves paper.Look at this soft brush, why is it so difficult to draw a few lines?

"Yuanyang, go and help me pick some fine charcoal for me."

"It's the old lady."

Since the old lady had been served by Yuanyang when she first arrived, when the servants were checked, only the old lady, Yuanyang, had no problems.The old lady also trusts her. It can be said that the old lady is still somewhat dependent on the mandarin duck. Many things are guided by the mandarin duck, so that she can live like her original body before.Some of her own changes, she talked about keeping filial piety.

Yuanyang is very knowledgeable and never says anything or asks what shouldn't be asked.Therefore, when I was so bored that I had to redo the account book that I could understand, I let Yuanyang keep watching.Yuanyang can also help her when needed.

When Yuanyang found silver carbon for the old lady, the old lady brought some waste paper and slowly rolled up one end of the carbon.

"Old lady, what is this?"

"Look at it, and then you will help draw!"

"Yes."

The old lady only drew one piece as a demonstration, and thought that the charcoal painting would lose some dust, and the ink painting is better, so she asked Yuanyang:

"Yuanyang, can you draw such a grid with a pen?"

"Here, let the servants try it first, then you will know."

Watching Yuanyang draw straight lines on the paper with a thin pen.

After drawing a few pictures, the old lady let Yuanyang look at them, and then filled in the corresponding words in the grid.Then take out the ledger and fill in the form by date or something.After the demonstration, let the mandarin duck operate.Yuanyang looked at the correspondence between traditional square numbers and Arabic numerals for a long time.Get started in no time!

Yuanyang was doing it while thinking: The old lady is really amazing!After filling in this way, others can't understand these numbers, but those who can understand are clear at a glance.

And what about the old lady?The old man was watching the mandarin ducks and quickly filled in the correspondence of those numbers!She sighed: Young people are agile in their hands and feet, and they learn things quickly!When people are old, they are really useless!
