Chapter 12 Not the owner of the house, but a borrower
His rejection, without thinking, blurted out.
Ji Wannong flashed her eyes, just nodded and said nothing. She withdrew her hand and stopped touching the tens of thousands of knives.
It was when she saw such a great kitchen that she was so proud that she forgot that she was not the owner of this house, she was just a guest who came to act and stayed with her.
Guests must abide by the rules and should not touch their owner's things.
Well, my mother didn't like her to learn cooking with her father, and she didn't like to see her in the kitchen.
Because my mother, like her, is a victim of favoring boys over girls.
In the countryside, it is more serious to prefer boys over girls.
Her original family had given birth to four daughters before her, and she was the fifth, so her biological parents would drown her when she was born.
My mother's situation is a little better than her. She is the first child in the family. Although she was drowned at birth, her mother also suffered a lot from favoring boys over girls.
Needless to say, the rolling eyes and sadness in life, my mother said she could tolerate it, and what made her most afraid and worried was that she could no longer study.
If you can't study, you can't change your destiny. The ending is that your classmates around you go out to work early, get married within a few years, or more directly, and just go marry if you don't study.
In that era, it seemed that the norm for rural girls to get married after graduating from junior high school.
After the nine-year compulsory education ended, my mother was not allowed to go to school. My mother ranked among the best in grades. The school’s teachers visited her home many times and said that if the tuition and miscellaneous fees were exempted and the school still had two meals, my mother could continue to study.
Relying on the two meals managed by the school, my mother finished high school and graduated with excellent grades. Because she was poor, my mother went to normal university.
Normal University not only has tuition fees, but also has subsidies for living expenses. The school has policies that as long as you go to the allocated place to teach for five years after graduating from university, you can complete the university without spending a penny.
My mother’s ideal is to be a teacher, helping more girls like her persist in their studies and change their destiny with reading.
My father attended the Provincial University of Science and Technology, known as the Monk Temple, and my mother attended the Normal University, known as the Nunnery. The two universities are connected, and my parents know each other and want to fall in love.
After graduation, my mother went to teach, and my father supported her. This is also the reason why my parents have not had children for many years after they have been married.
After the teaching support, my mother wanted to continue to be a teacher, but when my father encountered some trouble, he lost his job, so he opened a small restaurant. He thought that it would be no problem to support the whole family by relying on his good cooking skills. My father was too busy alone, so my mother gave up her ideal and helped my father run a small restaurant together.
This is how my mother has been since she was a child. She has to learn everything and know everything. She has to do everything she has to do, serving the whole family, especially her younger brothers.
In addition to the mother, the daughters born at home were drowned, leaving only the son behind.
The mother could only watch her sisters drowned when they were born, and she was powerless.
Because after those people drown their mother's sister, they will point at their nose and say, "If you are disobedient, you will drown you too, so as not to waste rice and flour!"
When he met her, his mother snatched her over and held her in her arms like crazy, and no one was allowed to touch her.
My father's original words were, your mother was crazy at that time, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was twisted and ferocious. It was the first time I saw her so hysterical in so many years.
My mother doesn't like her learning to cook with her father, and my mother doesn't even like her doing some housework within her ability.
When she was a child, she thought it was too hard for her parents to open a restaurant, so she wanted to help them, do some housework, serve them tea and water, and help them pick and wash vegetables in a small restaurant.
My mother doesn't just like it, she just hates it.
When she was a child, she didn't understand, and when she grew up a little, she understood.
My mother learned everything since she was a child and did things to serve others. She didn't want her to serve others, so she simply refused to let her learn, and she didn't even let her wash bowls, and she didn't let her touch any needlework and housework. She wanted to cultivate her into a waste who only knows how to eat, open her mouth, and get clothes and reach out.
She doesn't even know how to serve others?
So she begged her father to teach her how to cook, and the father and daughter were both sneaky, just like thieves.
Thinking about it, I really laughed.
Ji Wannong bent his eyes, and when he thought of his parents, he felt warm and felt much more comfortable.
Look, a happy childhood can heal your life.
And an unfortunate childhood requires a lifetime to heal.
She is lucky, and her mother is unfortunate.
My mother gave up her ideal for their family. She became a teacher and wanted to continue her mother's ideal.
Ji Wannong walked out of the kitchen and asked out of politeness: "I'm a little hungry and I'm going to order takeout. Will Mr. Huo eat it?"
After sleeping for a few hours, she was woken up by Qi Yixiao knocking on the door. She broke up before she could eat at a private club. Then she was proposed by Huo Yao and brought back to the Huo family to meet Grandma Huo...
She was just cultivating the matter of getting married to him, and didn't even bother to eat, until now.
The last meal she ate yesterday at noon. If she didn't eat anything, she would really faint from hunger.
Huo Yao: "If you want to use the kitchen, you need Aunt Zhang's consent."
Ji Wannong shook his eyelids: "What?"
Huo Yao explained to her: "Aunt Zhang has been working in our house for more than 30 years and has gotten angry for only a few times. Every time she gets angry, someone has entered the kitchen without her consent and used her kitchen utensils. When she gets angry, even grandma has to give in. If you don't have her consent, it's better not to touch the kitchen stuff."
She knew all this, Qingqing had told her.
Grandma Huo is in her eighties and was born in a large Huishang family. Her marriage is naturally very glorious. Aunt Zhang's mother is Grandma Huo's dowry maid. The two are named masters and servants, but in fact they are like sisters.
After Huo Kaixun was born, Grandma Huo was busy working on business. She wanted to revive the family's Hui merchant landscape. She didn't care about Grandma Huo, who was concerned about Huo Kaixun, threw her son to Aunt Zhang's mother.
Huo Kaixun grew up eating Aunt Zhang’s mother’s breasts.
Aunt Zhang is nominally a nanny from the Huo family, but her status is higher than the illegitimate daughter born by Huo Kaixun.
Not to mention Aunt Zhang, even Aunt Zhang's son and daughter, her status is much higher than that of an illegitimate daughter. Grandma Huo treats Aunt Zhang's two children as grandchildren of her parents' family.
Before Grandma Huo was in poor health and hired two more nurses and two chefs who were specializing in Grandma Huo's diet, the Huo family had Aunt Zhang, a servant.
Cleaners and gardeners come to your door regularly.
Aunt Zhang always looks kind, so when Aunt Zhang gets angry for the first time, she frightens Qingqing.
The reason why Aunt Zhang got angry was that Huo Yao's illegitimate girl was eager to show off and did not say hello and used the kitchen.
But these are not the key points, the key points are...
Ji Wannong: "Aunt Zhang is at home?!"
Just now, he pointed to a guest bedroom and said that the nanny had already fallen asleep. This nanny was Aunt Zhang???
Huo Yao looked at her meaningfully: "Grandma is not easy to fool, she should still be a little suspicious."
Needless to say, Ji Wannong had already reacted. She lowered her voice and stamped her feet in a hurry: "Aunt Zhang is at home, so why can't we both sleep in separate rooms?"
