Chapter 251: None of the three children in the eldest sister's family are easy to deceive
At noon, the eldest son made rice with lard.
In order to save the children's cooking time, Zhou Rong would simmer some rice in a steel pot before going to work every day. As long as the damper of the coal stove was controlled well, the fire would not go out and the rice would always be hot.
If the fire goes out and the rice gets cold, just fry it in the wood stove.
The fire was still on today, so the eldest boy served each person a bowl of hot rice, added a spoonful of lard and a spoonful of soy sauce, stirred them all, and it was ready.
Zhou Jiaguang was stunned: "Who did you learn this from?"
Big Baby: "My classmate Zhang Jianshe told me that he lives far away, so to save time, he eats it this way. He said it's delicious, but we don't always have lard at home, so it's not easy to have a good meal.
You are in for a treat today. Let me give you a try of some new dishes. If you find them too bland, you can pair them with some crispy radish and fermented black beans."
Zhou Jiaguang took a small sip with a hesitant attitude, and it tasted good!
Zhou Jiaguang ate three bowls of food before putting down his chopsticks. Erwa and Nini also ate a large bowl each and said they would eat like this again in the evening.
Big Baby smiled and said, "Uncle, we have already cooked for you. Don't forget the housework you promised to help us with!"
Zhou Jiaguang: “…”
If he had known that cooking a meal was so simple, he would not have signed the agreement...
When Zhou Rong came home from get off work in the evening, Nini rushed over and said excitedly, "Mom, are you tired today? Come and eat. My brother made some lard rice. It's delicious!"
Zhou Rong ate a lot of rice mixed with lard in her previous life. When she was a child, her family was poor and her parents had to go to work. In order to keep things simple, she heard that rice mixed with lard was delicious, so as long as there was lard at home, she would make it.
When I grew up, I was afraid of getting fat, so I never dared to eat it again.
Zhou Rong parked his bicycle, looked at the five bowls of rice with lard on the table, and asked with a smile: "Who came up with this idea?"
Da Wa showed Zhou Rong what Zhou Jiaguang said at noon and the agreement they signed: "Mom, we have agreed with my uncle that for the next 25 days, the three of us will cook, and my uncle will be responsible for all housework except cooking.
If you need any work done, just go find my uncle."
Zhou Rong read the agreement and said with a smile: "Since you signed this agreement voluntarily, I have no objection and fully support it.
After dinner, Qi Guang remembers to wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and clean the chicken coop. "
Zhou Jiaguang was shocked. It was over. He had forgotten to clean the chicken coop!
This job used to be done by my mother. If anyone was caught making a mistake, they would be punished by cleaning the chicken coop.
He has been behaving well recently and has not been punished, so he just ignored the matter.
Is it too late to regret now?
Zhou Jiaguang discussed, "The content of the bet between Da Wa and I is to help them do their work. Cleaning the chicken coop is not their job, so I shouldn't have to do it, right?"
Zhou Rong: "I forgot to inform you. On the day Mom moved out, she gave this job to the eldest and second child, asking them to take charge of it together."
Zhou Jiaguang: "!!! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?!"
Big Baby: "Grandma is not at home. This job was originally done by my mom, but my mom was very tired after a day's work. Grandma felt sorry for her, so she assigned this job to me and the second baby. There's no need to tell you about this little thing."
Zhou Jiaguang looked at the eldest and second children who were smiling cunningly, and snorted angrily: "You are so mean, you deliberately made a cage to trick me!"
Big Baby: "That's not true! This is an equal exchange. Didn't you cook lunch and dinner? We took on this work for you, so you have to complete the work under our name according to the contract."
Zhou Jiaguang choked and looked at Zhou Rong aggrievedly.
Zhou Rong: "It's just a chicken coop. Compared with the hard work you do on the farm, it's not that easy. You were praised by the school for your essay on labor a while ago. How long has it been? Have you forgotten that honor?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "...It's not that I don't want to work, it's just that I feel I've been cheated and I'm unwilling to accept it."
Zhou Rong: "Every experience is a growth. No matter what the result is, it is a valuable asset in your life.
We have often taught you to be careful with your words and actions and not to be fooled by others. However, you only listened with your ears and did not remember it in your mind. Suffering losses and being deceived is the inevitable result.
Time cannot be reversed. What has happened has already happened. We must have the courage to accept the result, learn from experience, and avoid being fooled again."
Zhou Jiaguang reflected on his words and actions and realized that he had indeed underestimated the enemy. None of the three children in his eldest sister's family were easy to deceive.
But he was so self-righteous that he set a trap for others, but he never expected that others had dug a bigger trap waiting for him.
Alas, if he had known this earlier, he would never play tricks in front of his eldest sister's family again...
Big Brother knew that his mother was not picky about food and would not even eat at night for the sake of her figure.
In the next few days, the food that the eldest child prepared was either rice mixed with lard, rice soaked in brown sugar, or simply boiled rice, whichever was simpler.
Zhou Jiaguang couldn't stand it after eating it for more than a week and asked Da Wa to cook properly.
Da Wa spread his hands and said, "I have no talent in cooking. I can't compare with you. This is all I know."
Zhou Jiaguang said helplessly: "Your mother said that at our age, we need a balanced diet to grow taller and stronger. The food you made is not suitable for growth.
Especially the rice soaked in brown sugar, it’s just something that deceives my stomach. I feel full when I eat it, but I feel hungry as soon as I walk to school.
Forget it, I'll do the cooking from now on, and you guys continue to follow the previous division of labor, sweep the floor, wash the dishes, and clean the chicken coop."
Da Wa took out the agreement he had signed with Zhou Jiaguang and said, "Uncle, it is clearly written here that our contract period is 25 days. We cannot break the contract without permission during this period, otherwise the working hours will be doubled. Do you want to help us work for 50 days?
Of course, if you help me take over the cooking work, the other contents will not change, it will not be considered a breach of contract, and our contract period will still be 25 days. When the time comes, we will each do our own work. "
Zhou Jiaguang's cheeks bulged with anger: "Let's have a fight. If I win, the contract will be void and you can do whatever you want."
Big Boy smiled and said, "Okay, if you lose, you will have to work for us for 100 days."
Erwa: "I'll be your referee."
After saying that, he pulled Nini and each of them moved a small stool and sat aside. He looked at Zhou Jiaguang and Dawa expectantly, signaling with his eyes that they should hurry up.
Zhou Jiaguang weighed the pros and cons and finally gave up the duel and took on the duties of chef again.
It seemed like the eldest sister gave special treatment to the eldest son. He was obviously concentrating on his studies and she rarely saw him practicing martial arts, but he was better at every move than herself.
If we really fight, the probability of losing is very high.
If I admit defeat now, I will only have to help Da Wa and the others do their work for a dozen days. If I lose, I will have to suffer for 100 days. It's too bad...
