Chapter 132 Family Training
Because, then Chen Chengyu said: "My family's ancestral motto: Only when you pamper your husband can you have a good life! Only when you listen to your husband can you have a harmonious family!"
If this were said in the previous life, if the genders were switched, everyone would be praised as a good man and responsible!
If we put these words in this society and dynasty, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a shocking ancestral motto!
What kind of person can leave such family motto for future generations in an era when men are generally not treated as human beings!
Chi Xiaotong was really shocked. If it was just her family doting on her husband, Chi Xiaotong would only think that this family had good values and normal thinking.
But if this was passed down as a family motto or ancestral precept, Chi Xiaotong couldn't imagine what kind of person this person was.
Because such a family motto can be said to challenge the thinking of most people here.
Chi Xiaotong's surprise was clear on her face, and Chen Chengyu was a little confused.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? You don't think it's funny, do you? I think you treat your husband very well!"
"No, this is not ridiculous, this is the truth!" Chi Xiaotong hurriedly explained.
"I'm just surprised that your ancestors were so powerful that they dared to pass down such an ancestral precept!
From what I have heard, most of the time, women are the masters and men are just subordinates! "
"Alas, there is nothing we can do. It is like this now! My family is different. When I was in school, my classmates invited me to go to the fireworks place, but I didn't want to. After I told them, they laughed at me!
I had different ideas from them, so I stopped associating with them!" Chen Chengyu sighed.
"Yes, that's true. Both Xiaoyu and Yuanyuanman thought so when they first came home! I put in a lot of effort to pamper them to the way they are now!" Chi Xiaotong agreed. Everyone here thinks so.
They have different ideas and each thinks that he is right, so they cannot convince the other party at all.
"I'm really curious, why does your family have such ancestral teachings? And it's different from those of the people around you! Do you understand?"
"Only one thing!"
"Tell me about it?" Chi Xiaotong asked with great interest.
Chen Chengyu pondered and said slowly: "This is what my mother told me. It is said that my ancestors were also a wealthy family, but later fell into poverty! Only the original husband of the ancestor was willing to move with the ancestor and endure the hardships! He also took care of her all the time!
The ancestor felt guilty towards her original husband. They were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. Later, the ancestor was blinded by power and status and took in several concubines.
But in the end, only one person was willing to accompany her. The ancestors regretted it, but it was useless!
After her first husband died, she left a family motto: Chen family, no matter what you do in the future, whether you have power or not, you will only have one husband!
You have to listen to your husband so that your family can be harmonious! It is said that this is the admonition left by the ancestor!
As for spoiling a husband, choosing a husband yourself! This is because of my grandmother! I heard from my mother that my grandmother was originally arranged by the family, but she didn't want to!
She ran away when she heard the news. Since she ran away, she naturally couldn't get engaged to the man!
My mother said that it was because my grandmother ran fast. Before the news got out, she had already disappeared! That’s why the matter was left unresolved! If it had been a step later, she would not have been able to escape.
The news has spread, and if she runs away again, it will ruin that man!
It seemed that at that time, the grandmother hid nearby for a while, and only left after confirming that her disappearance did not affect the man!
It wasn't until my grandmother met my grandfather here that they settled down! There were five of us, my aunt and her siblings!
My mother was laughing when she told me this. She also said that when my grandmother talked about this, she was very vivid and excited!
"Your mother and her family, five siblings?" Chi Xiaotong's focus was clearly diverted.
"Yes, if you count them all, my mother is the third child! I have a second uncle and a fifth uncle! They married far away. But we can see them this year! This year we will go to the third aunt's house to celebrate the New Year! Their wives will bring them over for a gathering on the second and third days of the New Year!"
Chi Xiaotong understands this, on the second and third days of the Chinese New Year, you go back to your mother's house! Here, it means going back to your father's house. If the older generation is not around, it's the same as going back to your sister's house!
"They usually come once every two years, and you didn't see them last year!"
"Well, should I prepare gifts?" Chi Xiaotong didn't know the situation of the other two families. It would be embarrassing if she didn't prepare any gifts when the children came!
"Well, there seems to be a little girl at my second uncle's house, but I don't know if she will come or not! If she comes, just give her some red envelopes!"
"Okay, I'll prepare two more then!"
"Ok!"
"So, everyone in your family has only one husband. Go find one you like!" Chi Xiaotong returned to the point and continued the previous topic.
"Yes, grandma gave us the right to find our own partner, and we don't have to just follow the orders of our mother and father or the matchmaker! I didn't feel anything before, but now I don't have to be forced to get engaged or married! I realized how great grandma is!"
Seeing Chen Chengyu's emotional expression, Chi Xiaotong couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"No, I think your sentiments are spot on!"
"Humph, that's it!" Chen Chengyu said proudly.
This time, Chi Xiaotong finally understood the whole reason. The ancestor could understand that he was regretful! He made a family motto to make up for it and make himself feel better! He didn't want future generations to follow his old path.
As for Chen Chengyu's grandmother, Chi Xiaotong didn't know more about it, and couldn't judge whether she was the same as herself. After all, everything seemed reasonable.
No matter if it is or not, I won’t see it anymore! There is no point in worrying about it!
She is only grateful now, because of various reasons, she has established the current Chen family and allowed her to meet them!
"So you haven't met the man you like yet?"
"No, it's not that easy! I'm not in a hurry!" Chen Chengyu looked like he didn't want to get married yet.
Chi Xiaotong didn't ask any more questions, she was just gossiping.
……
As soon as the sun rises, the families of Chen Shang and Chen Yu are about to leave!
Chi Xiaotong had a great time chatting with those people last night and came home late, so he hasn't gotten up yet.
I met Chen Chengyu at the sugar factory at noon and realized that I had not seen him off. I regretted for a long time.
"My aunt and the others don't care about this! They didn't get up in the morning! No one called him!"
What a spoiled child! Not only Chen Chengyu and the others, but even Chen Shang and the others spoiled Chengshan.
Normally, Chen Shang always had a stern face, probably because she was an official. Chi Xiaotong felt a little scared every time she saw her, fearing that she would do something wrong.
It’s just like when I was a kid and met serious teachers and principals. In front of them, I was as obedient as a sheep!
After spending a few times together, I realized that Chen Shang doted on the child just as much as Chen's mother and Chen Yu!
This Chen family! If the husband hadn't taken care of the children, they would have been spoiled! They really are a loving mother and a strict father! It's the exact opposite of most families here!
However, a family with good family education and family tradition will not raise bad children! It’s okay to spoil them a little!
