Old Zhao's women went into the kitchen and busied themselves. After a while, the smell of hot food wafted out of the kitchen.
In addition to chicken and fish, there were several other vegetarian dishes for lunch. Old Zhao's family hadn't had such a meal in a long time.
Huo Chunhua turned and went into the kitchen to give instructions. When she saw that Liang Jinqiao had used a lot of oil when cooking, she shouted, "Third Brother's wife, why did you use so much oil when cooking? We don't have much oil at home. If you use it like this, you'll finish all the oil we eat in a year in a month."
After separating from the main family, Liang Jinqiao had led a good life. Usually, she used a lot of oil when cooking. Now that she was cooking at Old Zhao's house, she used more oil out of habit.
Seeing that Huo Chunhua was about to get angry again, Zhao Ping 'er hurriedly said, "Mother, it's a festival today. It's okay to eat more. It's not like this every day. I'll send you half a bowl of oil later. "
When Liang Jinqiao said this, Huo Chunhua's anger subsided. She snorted softly and said, "That's more like it."
Liang Jinqiao's heart was finally at ease.
What he was most afraid of was Huo Chunhua's scolding.
Fourth Brother's wife, Qian Zhonghu, who was busy cooking in front of the stove, asked, "Mother, when will Fifth Brother get married? Do you want to arrange a marriage for him? There's a good family in my mother's village. They only have one daughter and she's treasured by her parents. Her family's conditions are good. When she gets married, she'll definitely have a lot of dowry. If she wants to marry a scholar, I think Fifth Brother is a good choice. Why don't you introduce him to her later? "
Qian Zhonghu felt that Zhao Wensheng was a little old. As his sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
"What's the hurry? When Wensheng passes the imperial examinations, he'll be able to marry any girl." Huo Chunhua said faintly, "If he marries a wife now, he might be like his second son, who only thinks about sex all day long. How can he be in the mood to study?"
The corners of Qian Zhouzhe's mouth twitched. Her mother was really not subtle with her words.
"Mother, it's not right for you to think that way. Fifth Brother isn't Second Brother. Marrying a wife won't necessarily affect his studies. Look, after Tianlong got married, isn't his studies still very good?"
Huo Chunhua was silent for a moment. She felt that what Qian Zhuzhui said made sense.
Qian Zhurong continued, "Our fifth brother is getting older. It's a good thing to start a family early. If we wait for our fifth brother to become an official, what if we have to wait for a long time? At that time, even if Fifth Brother marries another wife, he won't be the same as when he was young. I reckon that it will be difficult for him to give birth to a boy! "
Huo Chunhua nodded as she listened.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, you're right. You should introduce her to me later. This kind of girl is not bad!"
"Alas, Mother, I know. You can go back and tell Fifth Brother about this and inform him."
"Got it!"
Feng Zhangxia moved to the side and couldn't help but say, "Mother, our Tianhu isn't young anymore. Shouldn't we help Tianhu arrange a marriage?"
The reason why Zhao Tianhu hadn't arranged a marriage for Zhao Tianhu despite his age was because marrying a wife was a huge expense. They had to give the bride a gift, which was different from marrying off a daughter.
Feng Zhangxia had mentioned this to Huo Chunhua before, but Huo Chunhua had rejected the idea.
Huo Chunhua was silent for a moment.
