[comprehensive] my family

When a person feels that he should persist, he will persist, and when he feels that he cannot persist, he will give up.

In modern times, Zhang Yu heard about an old lady who was suffering from an incurable disease. The family had no money, her son was disabled and lay in bed and needed someone to take care of her, her daughter-in-law was stimulated, she went crazy and needed someone to watch her The grandson has just walked and can't speak.

She is the pillar of the family. If she dies, the family will be over, so she gritted her teeth and persisted, and did not go to the hospital for treatment to save money.

Although I don't know how the old lady's body is, but until the grandson reaches adulthood, the old lady is still alive and busy every day.

Is it the same for Mrs. Zhang?

Before, because I knew I couldn’t fall, I persisted, but now I know that I can fall, so I don’t have such a strong drive anymore.

Just when Zhang Yu was thinking hard and trying to figure out a solution, Mrs. Zhang looked away instead: "I am just a life that cannot enjoy happiness, but I have no regrets. Now that our family's life is getting better and better, I'm here The underground can also explain to your father, our parents have not had you as an official for several generations."

Zhang's tone is full of pride. Although Zhang Yu is a small official in the capital, he is very conspicuous in the history of the Zhang family.

In her eyes, it is a big deal for the child to do something, not to mention that Zhang Yu's things are not small.

After all, Zhang Yu knows how to treat this disease, as long as he can get her busy, but he has never done such a thing before, besides, Mrs. Zhang is the old lord of the Zhang family, and the whole family has always surrounded her Turns out, when did Mrs. Zhang need to do it herself?

If Zhang Yu really asked his mother to do this, others may think how to guess. They may think that the Zhang family is completely bankrupt and his mother has come out to work, and they will also think that Zhang Yu's character is not good, and he is an official. Treat your mother so harshly.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yu finally came up with an idea to ask Mrs. Zhang to get him something to eat.

When he first crossed over, he ate meals made by Mrs. Zhang all day long, with less oil and less meat, and the taste was very ordinary. At that time, his biggest dream was to go to a restaurant and have a good meal with a lot of oil and water.

Even when I think about it now, I still feel that it was a hard time, but there are still a few things that I often think about again and again, and there are a few dishes that make my mouth water when I think about it now.

But because the conditions at home are better, these dishes are not famous dishes, so they were canceled immediately, and they have never been served on the table until now. Instead, Zhang Yu missed them, but he never said it before. After all, it's just a good day, isn't it too hypocritical to miss the bad days in the past?

But now he suddenly didn't think so. When eating again, he suddenly said: "Now I really miss my mother's pickled radish. It's fragrant and crispy. I don't know how delicious it is."

Wang Xifeng had never eaten it before: "Is it so delicious?" He said and picked up a piece of dried radish on the table and put it in his mouth.

The dried radish in this small dish is not a radish anymore, because it tastes like no radish, because the recipe is very complicated, it uses chicken and mushrooms, and finally it is fried in lard. The process is very complicated, and it tastes like meat. Although it is delicious, it is completely different from the taste in my memory.

Zhang Yu smiled: "Of course, it's just that the method is too simple, everyone can do it, and the family has never eaten it since it became rich. It was all made by my mother before, and I will do it again when I have time." Well, let Xifeng learn from you later, this can be regarded as a prescription passed down from our family."

Mrs. Zhang smiled all over her face: "What is the ancestral tradition? No one in the neighborhood can't cook it. It's very simple. If you want to eat it, I will cook it today."

"that would be great."

Wang Xifeng frowned. At first, she thought that the mother and son were just talking, but she didn't expect it to be true. The Zhang family is now considered to be a respectable person. The mistress of the house even made some carrots. If it spread, I don't know what to do Gossip.

But she didn't say anything, man, you always want to save face, let alone stand up when things get out of hand, and solve things easily, isn't it a better proof of your ability Yet?

When Wang Xifeng talked to Zhang Yu in private, Zhang Yu directly asked her to leave it alone.

"Okay, just don't ask me to clean up the mess for you then."

"How can this be a mess?"

"It's not that you don't know about your mother's body, and you let her worry about it. I really don't know what you think."

"I'm just treating her. Don't worry, just wait and see."

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang ordered people to buy radishes the next morning, and asked for fresh ones. Although Wang Xifeng also planted some things in his village, most of them were grain, and there were some scarce vegetables. Anyway, where are the common vegetables? You can buy it, but you don't have it.

The old lady personally ordered the people below to do it with great care. The radishes bought were clean, white and big, and Mrs. Zhang was a little dissatisfied. She felt that the freshly unearthed radishes were better.

In the end, the servant brought back the fresh radish with the wet soil on it, and then she started to wash and slice it, then dry it and shred it. After nearly ten days of tossing, Zhang Yu finally ate the pickled radish.

The crisp dried radish is simply filled with salt, chili powder, and sesame oil, and it tastes good even after eating. Zhang Yu has to eat a little bit every time, but Wang Xifeng doesn't like such rough pickled vegetables. No matter how simple it is for her Things have to go through more than a dozen moral processes.

But mother-in-law and husband both like to eat it very much, and I have to eat it myself. Every time I reluctantly eat a little bit, Zhang can't see it like that: "Since you don't want to eat it, don't eat it!"

Wang Xifeng secretly complained, while Zhang Yu said, "Don't blame her. She has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child. How could she have eaten such a simple meal? When she first got married, didn't she start a small stove by herself?"

Wang Xifeng blushed when she heard that, she really couldn't eat when she first got married, and finally asked Ping'er to buy outside things for herself, although the Zhang family didn't know about it.

But she was the only one with an unfamiliar face nearby. After Ping'er went there a few times, she was naturally known by others, including Zhang's family.

"It was indeed my fault at that time."

Wang Xifeng blushed and apologized, but gave Zhang Yu a hard look. After being an old couple for so many years, why did he still mention these things? It was still in front of his mother.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang did not sarcastically satirize her, but began to recall the past days: "Yeah, it was really hard at that time, and now looking back, I don't know how I survived. "

The whole family sat there, reminiscing bitterness and sweetness, but the servants did not dare to relax, they cleaned up everything on the table lightly, wiped the table clean, and put hot tea and melons and fruits on it.

The cabinet on one side was filled with freshly broken flower branches again, and the smell of rice just disappeared immediately, and what came into the nose was a faint scent of flowers and fruits, as if I had entered another world in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of hot tea and sighed softly: "No wonder everyone wants to live the life they have now."

If you didn't clean up after dinner before, who will clean up for you, but now it's good, you don't even have to stand up.

Zhang Yu said: "Isn't it? When the servants came to clean up before, I felt a little embarrassed, but I didn't expect to get used to it now."

In the past, I was also a modern person, and I didn't have the habit of being served by others, but now I am happy with it. Habits are really a terrible thing.

He quickly changed the subject: "This dried radish tastes good before, but now it tastes like something is missing, probably because the tongue is used to it. The days are really better now, and my mother has also improved this dish. Let's go."

"Improvement? How to change it."

"Just let Xifeng help you."

In the end, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law added some big ingredients to the dried radish, sprinkled sesame seeds, and added sugar. The procedure was several more than before. When it was served again, the taste was really much better than before.

Zhang Yu looked carefully, and found that Mrs. Zhang was indeed more energetic than before, so he continued to work hard, and came up with a few home-cooked dishes before, and asked Mrs. Zhang to make them, and then improved them. These few dishes will appear.

After eating for a long time, Zhang Yu said inadvertently that sometimes the dishes are not fresh, Zhang said directly: "I have to go shopping every day, where can I meet fresh ones."

Now when I go to buy vegetables, I have to go to the street to buy them every day, and I have someone deliver them to my home, but people hate that there are too few deliveries, which wastes time. You must know that little people have the wisdom of little people.

"Then let's grow some by ourselves." Zhang Yu said directly.

Wang Xifeng immediately expressed her objection: "Master, which family still grows vegetables."

"How can this be growing vegetables? This is just doing something when the old lady is free. Besides, just the few of us eat, how can we use up much space? Well, don't move the garden in front, and the one in the back The small garden can just be tidied up, it’s only an acre of land, it doesn’t matter. We can exercise if we have nothing to do.”

You must know that in modern times, many people have built their own world into a small farm. They plan shrewdly in all seasons. In spring, visitors can experience the joy of planting, and in autumn, visitors can experience the joy of harvesting. The fields don’t need their own Take care of it and make money.

It is very common for modern people to pick grapes, strawberries, and cherries by themselves. Some people even harvest peanuts and corn. You must know that this is physical work, but people will still spend money to come and suffer.

With more than an acre of land, it doesn't take much effort to plant anything. Anyway, there must be a lot of things to be planted at that time, and the time will naturally be staggered.

There is also a small garden at the back of the house, with flowers and plants planted in it. Zhang Yu asked his servants to pull out all the flowers, then turned the ground and fertilized it well, so that Mrs. Zhang could play with it at will. Although she has done it before, she has been rich and honored for so many years I also enjoyed it, and I definitely had to take it slowly at first.

As soon as she saw that the land had been tidied up, Mrs. Zhang thought about what to plant in her heart. It should be what her son likes to eat. Moreover, there is a lot of land, and there is no need to grow food, so there will be plenty.

When Mrs. Zhang started working, her body immediately ached, and her hands began to develop blisters. The thick calluses accumulated when she was young, after so many years of enjoyment, had already become soft. Zhang Yu had expected it a long time ago. Find someone to give her a massage, and bought a lot of medicinal materials to give her a bath.

Although Mrs. Zhang cursed waste, her face was extremely happy, obviously enjoying Zhang Yu's filial piety.

Although Mrs. Zhang is doing all the work in the field, Zhang Yu is also helping. At this time, Wang Xifeng will naturally help, but she is really a delicate body. Mrs. Zhang is still ruthless.

After all, Mrs. Zhang has done this kind of work before, but Wang Xifeng has never done it. After a few times, Zhang Yu simply refused to let her do it. Wang Xifeng's specialty is not in this, so don't help.

When the vegetables planted by Zhang's family had sprouted, the Jia's mansion suddenly came to invite them, saying that the palace for Concubine De had been built, and asked everyone to visit first.

It is said to be a visit, but it is actually just a simple look at it first, to simply know what novel things are there, and then publicize it, so that the concubine Defei can have more face.

When Mrs. Wang invited Zhang's family, Mrs. Zhang was watering the field herself. Because there were few crops, Zhang Yu simply came over with a bucket, and Mrs. Zhang scooped water with a ladle.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't handle these relationships, so she asked Zhang Yu whether he would go or not, and Zhang Yu said directly, because there were too few leisure things in ancient times, and he finally had a chance to go out, so he naturally wanted to go out.

Wang Xifeng took Mrs. Zhang there, and when she came back, she was full of annoyance, but Mrs. Zhang was very happy. During dinner at night, she kept talking about the luxury in the palace.

She talked about everything big and small, as if there was nothing wrong with the Grand View Garden: "So I thought our house was big enough, but who knew that the Grand View Garden is so big, if you walk, your legs hurt, or sit In the sedan chair, I heard that Empress De Fei will come back for one night, so I don’t know if she can see all the scenery.”

Mrs. Zhang had a great appetite and ate an extra bowl of rice at night. When she was about to go to bed, Zhang Yu asked his wife what was wrong.

Wang Xifeng had been holding her breath just now, and when she heard her husband asking now, she couldn't wait to say it out: "Why did you ask? If I hold on a little longer, I will explode in no time!"

"Hey, hey, is that an exaggeration?"

"Why not! You haven't seen what happened to your mother today, or you would have blown up!" Wang Xifeng spoke slowly, because it involved the Zhang family, and Wang Xifeng's words were much more elegant.

Anyway, in Zhang Yu's ears, it was "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden", but Grandma Liu became his mother.

Although Grandma Liu is just a small person in the Dream of Red Mansions, Zhang Yu didn't even know the specific name of Jia's Sanchun, so it is impossible to know this small person.

But who made this sentence so famous?Just like an allusion, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden——has never seen the world.

When Wang Xifeng said this, he immediately remembered it. Instead of feeling angry, he felt a little happy, which made Wang Xifeng lightly punch him: "I'm almost dying of anxiety, but you are still laughing! You are not I know what kind of person my aunt is. She invited us over with a premeditated plan, and she will definitely use us as a stepping stone tomorrow, saying that the Grand View Garden is so luxurious, and my mother’s eyes will fall! Look at you Then you can still laugh."

Wang Xifeng's worry was not unreasonable. From the next day, the luxury of the Grand View Garden in the Jia Mansion began to spread throughout the capital. Not only were there details in it, but there were also comparisons. The Zhang family really became a stepping stone.

No matter what you say, you will say, "Ms. Zhang still has the identity of the imperial order, and the eyeballs will fall when I see this." "I saw the boss with the mouth open."

It’s true that Zhang Yu is a petty official, and it’s true that Zhang’s is the lowest-status edict. There are countless people who step on their heads in the capital, and there are as many people with higher status than them as stars, but!

No matter what Zhang Yu is, he is an official, and Mrs. Zhang is no matter how he is ordered. Although there are countless people standing on their heads, they are also standing on the heads of countless people.

The big fish ate these small fishes, and they also ate dried shrimps. People with high status naturally don't think there is anything wrong, but people with low status are surprised to see a lady like this, let alone them. up.

When the rumors spread from high to low, the rumors became true, and then changed flavors, and then spread back from low to high, everyone knew that Jia's mansion had really built a remarkable house.

At this time, if other people wanted to see it, the people in Jia's mansion would not let them see it. Now that the reputation has grown, they just waited for Jia Yuanchun to return to the mansion to visit!

For a moment, I didn't know how much I envied Jia Yuanchun. After she got married, the emperor loved her so much and allowed her to go home to visit her relatives. You must know that this was never the case when the first emperor.

Now that the family has actually built such a gorgeous house for her, she really has taken advantage of all the benefits.

The concubines in the palace also pleaded with the emperor, hoping that they can save their relatives, and it is best to let their relatives who have been harsh to them before, now please themselves, and the emperor agreed to them all.

Xue Baochai was not happy at all.
