NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29 Maternal Family
After the lively second grade of junior high school, Xia Yutong's family went to her grandma's house the next day.
Xia Yutong's grandmother Zhou Dani had three daughters and one son. The first three were daughters, and it was not until the fourth child gave birth to a son that she gave birth to a son, so Zhou Dani had a strong preference for sons over daughters.
Xia's mother, Shen Lan, is also the second eldest child in the old Shen family. There is also a sister in front of her, named Shen Fengxian, who is four years older than Shen Lan. Because she is the first daughter, Zhou Dani still loves her a little, so she named her also. A few thoughts.
When it came to Xia's mother, when the second child was a daughter, Zhou Dani was actually a little unhappy, but after all, she was her biological child, so she chose the word "lan" in her single name.
Zhou Dani has not cared much about her second daughter since she was a child. Except for keeping the stuttering one from starving to death, she has completely ignored the rest. To put it nicely, she has allowed her to grow up freely. At worst, she has almost left her to fend for herself.
Fortunately, I still have a sister who is a few years older to take care of me, so I finally grew up safely.
The most pitiable one is the third child, Shen Xiaocao. Yes, his name is Xiaocao.
At that time, when Zhou Dani gave birth to her third child, a daughter, she almost thought of giving the child away. If it hadn't been for everyone's difficulties at the time and the difficulty of raising the child, she might have actually given it away.
I didn't even bother to come up with a name. I said that every girl in the movie was just a weed, so I just randomly called her Shen Xiaocao.
Compared with the two previous sisters, Shen Xiaocao can be said to have grown up in bitter waters. Her father did not care for her mother when she was young, and she was deprived of food and clothing. Any dirty work was always done on her head. Zhou Dani was beaten and scolded when she didn't like her. Growing up, she never got a good look from her parents, and those who didn't know thought she was her stepmother.
Fortunately, the fourth child, Shen Sibao, was born, and Zhou Dani felt much better. She focused on raising her precious son and did not deliberately embarrass her anymore. She just had a good look and didn't need to think about it.
Therefore, Shen Lan and Shen Xiaocao were not close to their natal family, so they only walked around during the New Year and did not go back to their natal family often.
However, the relationship between the brothers and sisters is very good. Shen Lan and Shen Xiaocao were almost brought up by their eldest sister Shen Fengxian, so the relationship between the sisters is particularly good.
The strange thing is that the fourth child, who has been doted on by his parents since he was a child, should probably have a second generation of pampering, but it turns out that Shen Sibao is an anomaly, because his parents don’t have much time to take care of him when they are working, so he has been taken care of almost all the time since he was a child. She is close to several sisters, so she has a very close relationship with her. When the sisters see their brother doing something delicious and fun, they will think of them. Even Shen Xiaocao, who is treated poorly, cannot dislike this obedient and obedient person. As a result, the brother and sister became friends like this magically, without any of the best events in the novel happening.
Several brothers and sisters were married and had children. On the third day of the third year of junior high school, the whole family gathered at Old Shen's house in a lively manner.
It's not like Zhou Dani had a bad attitude towards her daughters when she was a child, but she has developed a habit over the years and it's hard to change. When her daughters arrived home, she just said calmly: "They are all back."
But no one tried to argue with her. As long as she didn't pretend to be an old lady during the Chinese New Year, everyone who was a junior would just ignore her.
The younger brother Shen Sibao was quite enthusiastic. He and his wife greeted several sisters and brothers-in-law affectionately.
He also loved Xia Yutong's nephews very much. As soon as they got home, he would stuff their pockets with large and small bags of food.
Xia Yutong also likes this little uncle who has taken them everywhere since childhood.
Xia Yutong's grandma's house is in the countryside, surrounded by many orchards. When the fruit harvest season comes, her uncle will specially come to pick them up at home and take them to the orchards to pick fruits together. Sometimes I would climb high to pick the big red fruits on the branches so that my children could eat them. I would never complain, but would always rub their heads with a smile and ask them if their uncle was particularly powerful.
In the summer, they would take a bunch of little radish heads to catch fish and touch shells, and then let Zhou Dani cook them a delicious meal.
Zhou Dani didn't show much affection towards her grandchildren, but she didn't show much love to them. However, she never shied away from her son's requests and fed all the little ones every time.
Therefore, Xia Yutong's few outdoor experiences came from this uncle, which can be said to have brought a lot of different joys to her childhood.
Seeing his uncle, Xia Yutong also went up to call him affectionately.
Soon this lively uncle couldn't act like an adult and started hanging out with a group of children, especially Xia Yuhang, who was just a few years old. Xia Yutong also found it amazing.
The whole family also had a lively and lively day. During this time, it was still very cold, so my uncle took a bunch of young ones and started a fire to roast sweet potatoes and chestnuts, and transformed the good bunch of boys and girls into big ones. It’s a tabby cat, but everyone is having a great time.
