Hearing that everyone said "the old lady is going home", Zhang Hui was happy to move the color when he returned to the house. Seeing this, Yin Chun hurriedly smiled and said, "The old slave will rush to the door to serve." The young master might as well change his clothes and go to Chenghui Hall again. Zhang Hui understood, and sure enough, he went to change his clothes, and then rushed to Chenghui Hall, the upper courtyard where Wu Taijun lived.

The Chenghui Hall is in the second gate, but it is an independent courtyard, and the internal and external layout is very open. Zhang Hui walked to the gate of the courtyard, only to see seven or eight small sedan chairs and four or five cars outside the door to rest under the wall, a group of brown-clothed little men stood with their hands down, all of them looked solemn, and without saying a word, they knew that the ladies of the mansion had followed Wu Taijun to Chenghui Hall.

Zhang Hui then entered the courtyard gate, passed through the hall, and suddenly saw many daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard, and four maids with a red jacket and skirt were waiting on the steps of the upper room of the big house in the middle. Seeing Zhang Hui come in, everyone's faces showed joy, and they all smiled and said, "Brother Ying'er's house is here!

It is said that this "Brother Ying" was originally Zhang Hui's nickname when he was at home, but except for Zhang Wang and his wife, only the people around Wu Taijun called him the most. When Zhang Hui heard this, he immediately laughed. Everyone here also gathered around for a while, busy greeting, watching, laughing, and a few laughing while rushing into the house to report. In the midst of the noise and excitement, there were already two maids who opened the curtains one mile and one outside. Zhang Hui's eyes glimpsed, and the soles of his feet suddenly sped up two steps and entered the main room.

When I entered the door, I saw two people helping an old lady in the middle to get up - it was Wu Taijun. Although this Wu Taijun is over eighty years old, his hair is very black, only half gray, and his eyes are good, as soon as he looks up, he sees Zhang Hui, he immediately laughs, and with a wave of his hand, he reprimands people, and walks straight towards him without a stick. Zhang Hui rushed forward in a panic, bent his knees, knelt in front of Wu Taijun, and threw his whole body into her arms. Wu Taijun hugged his head and shoulders, with a smile on his face, tears rolling down his face with joy, and only reciting the word "good" over and over again in his mouth. Here Zhang Hui also shed tears.

Seeing that the two of them were just hugging and laughing and crying, both sides were busy persuading, and they both said: "It's a great joy for my brother's family to come, why do you cry!" slowly persuaded the two together, and another daughter-in-law took a mat and spread it on the ground, so that Zhang Hui could see his great-grandmother again. After the salute, Wu Taijun pulled him up early, let him sit next to him, and firmly held his hand, looked at it carefully from head to toe, and then wiped his tears and smiled: "It's good to be back! It's good to come back! It's good to come back! Go and salute your wives and grandmothers." ”

At that time, the house was full of female dependents, all standing on both sides in order of generation. Except for the last three or four who were still young, they all looked at Zhang Hui and Wu Taijun with a smile. Zhang Hui listened to the instructions, hurriedly got up, first bowed to his grandmother Li's clothes, kowtowed heavily, and then bowed to the two uncles Zhang Pi and Zhang Zhan's wives Chen and Yun in order, and then the third aunt Zhang Yao's wife Zhou, the fourth aunt Zhang Kui's wife Yin, the fifth aunt Zhang's wife Zhang, the sixth aunt Zhang Bi's wife Ji, and the seventh aunt Zhang Dou's wife Wang, one by one, and in the end it was his mother, Zhang Wang's wife Hong. Hong's eyes were already red, but his complexion was calm, and after receiving his salute, he smiled and said, "Get up quickly." I've met your sisters-in-law, too. ”

Zhang responded, and held his mother's hand for a moment before turning to the order in which Hong's hands and his peers stood - only three or four, all dressed as young daughters-in-law, and their dresses were as if there was a slight difference in hairpins. Zhang Hui didn't dare to look more, turned sideways, raised his eyes and only glanced at it, and saw that except for one of Cui's eldest years, who was the eldest son of the fourth room Zhang Zhen and the wife of his cousin Zhang Xian, the rest were all born with their eyes, and they knew in their hearts that they were the cousin-in-law who entered the house when they were studying in Nanjing, and they had been married for less than three years, and they had never met each other. So he didn't squint anymore, stepped forward, and bowed to his cousin-in-law Cui.

When Cui heard Hong's words, he was already smiling and returning to Zhang. After the two saw each other, Cui took him to get to know his younger brothers and wives one by one, and the older daughter-in-law and servant next to him were also busy mentioning some etiquette rules with his young man, and he went to get the prepared meeting routine. Zhang Hui had already asked Yin Chun about the big and small things in his family, and he already knew a lot in his heart, and while greeting and saluting, he silently remembered the identity and face of the character.

But it was said that Wu Taijun sat on it and watched his young descendants greet each other, and his heart was happy, so he said to the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest wife Li on the left: "It's rare that the family gathers so completely, you look at this circle of worship, kowtowing and bowing, making it like a chicken pecking rice, it's really busier than the New Year - but there is no red envelope to suppress it, but it seems to make him suffer." ”

Li smiled: "What the old lady said is really true. It's just that he is a child's house, and he should have saluted like this when he came home. ”

Li's voice fell, and the second wife Chen next to him had already shouted: "Ouch, we have just suffered a head, and the old lady is distressed, and she wants to feel a loss for her brother! Thinking that the family has a surplus of purses, ingots, ingots, and bills for the New Year, he turned his head and made up for this part of the reward for his brother - the old lady said, so he will not suffer a loss?"

When Wu Taijun heard this, he took a sip and scolded with a smile: "You are clever, you can please you, and you dare to say with a boldly face, reward people with the leftover things from the New Year's Festival! Or reward Brother Ying! Such a bastard, see that I don't beat you with a stick!"

Chen Shi hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and argued again: "It's me who is wrong!" But when Brother Ying arrived home today, the old lady was happy, and we were also happy. After receiving the child's kowtow and not giving a gift, it is always a joke and fun, and everyone has a chance to laugh and have a lively time. Could it be that the old lady is still seriously worried about these things for her great-grandson? ”

Wu Taijun nodded and said, "You are still in charge of this." Fake smile, "Then I'll write it down first?"

Chen smiled: "If you can please the old lady, it doesn't hurt to really beat your daughter-in-law." It's just that I'm not in a hurry about this, and the old lady will have another lesson another day, and I'm happy. And now the top of the top is the most important, but it is Brother Ying'er's side -- we have been out for two days, but we don't know when Brother Ying'er arrived at home today? I have been out for three years, and I have just arrived at home, is it safe inside and outside the house? Are all things and people suitable for each other? I thought about how many of those in Brother Ying's room were repeatedly ordered by the old lady a few days earlier, and the eldest sister-in-law and Wang's daughter-in-law would definitely refuse to move more and ask more. However, what the hell is this, but I still have to ask Brother Ying'er. ”

When she said this, Wu Taijun really agreed when she heard this, and hurriedly smiled at Chen: "Sure enough, you are careful and thoughtful." Then he beckoned to Zhang Hui and said, "Brother Ying'er, come here!" Your second wife asked you, can you come to the house safely, and things can be used by everyone? What else do you want, what else do you want, what do you need to eat, and you can use it for fun, and the house is all thoughtful? ”

After Zhang Hui greeted everyone here, he stood close to his mother Hong. Hearing Wu Taijun's call, he hurriedly walked in front of Chen, put down a long one, and said: "The second wife is careful, everything is in order at home, and there is nothing to get used to." ”

Chen hurriedly pulled him up, looked up and down with a smile, and then grabbed his hand and sent it directly to Wu Taijun, saying: "The old lady thinks about it day and night, and now she finally looks forward to her brother back, and the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to rob the old lady, so she should send it back to the old lady and ask for a good one." ”

Wu Taijun smiled so much that his eyebrows were crooked, and he first grabbed the chapter back in his hand, and then said to Chen: "If you know each other, you will send him back." Otherwise, the head of the crutch will hook it back directly!" said in his mouth, and his eyes went to look at the big girl next to him who was specially designed to pick up the curtain and hold the cane. I don't think this Lamei is powerful in front of her, and before she finished speaking, she had already pursed her lips and smiled and handed the birthday turn upside down. Wu Taijun was stunned, and then burst into laughter, and everyone laughed for a while: it was a harmonious family, full of spring breeze.

Wu Taijun then asked Zhang Hui when he would go home and be okay on the way. The ancestor laughed a few words, and the Li family came forward and said, "For the Dharma of Tianning Temple, the old lady has been working for two days. Besides, although it is a great joy to return to my son's house, in the end, I have just stepped on the door, and I can't help but be tired, but I will first call for a good rest for a while. We can also concentrate on serving the old lady. ”

When Wu Taijun heard this, he nodded first, and then smiled: "Eh, I'm so happy that I'm confused." What you're saying is exactly - you've been messing around with me for two days, and you're going to have to take care of this and that, inside and out, and you're all tired. After shaking Zhang's hand, he turned to the second wife Chen and the fourth wife Yun and said with a smile: "You two don't remind you either! People who have children and grandchildren, where are they as young and strong as before, so they blindly curry favor with the strong! This is not really to let the family say that I only have a great-grandson in my eyes, and I can't think of others for a moment? I want to scold Brother Ying'er again." ”

Chen's and Yun's hurriedly said they didn't dare. Chen Shi smiled even more: "Who flatters and supports? I like Brother Ying'er, when I see him, my body is light, where do I know that I am lacking? But the sister-in-law is right, the old lady should change her clothes and rest, recuperate, and watch Brother Ying eat two more glasses of wine and two mouthfuls of food at night." ”

Wu Taijun laughed: "That's what you said." Okay, I've been with me for two days, and it's been hard. You took the children to change their clothes. The fourth daughter-in-law is also at home for dinner, so she doesn't have to come over to support me. This Zhang Zhan is actually the third son in the family's generation, but because the second sister Zhang Lu was raised as a boy when she was a child, and the third line was made in the preface of the Zhang family's men, Zhang Zhan became the fourth, and the whole house is also called "four rooms". Nowadays, the family population is large, the ancestral house is a long house, the second room is dedicated to Wu Taijun to live, and the fourth room is not far from the city to buy another property; because of the distance of seven or eight hundred steps, the men and women of the four rooms still go to the ancestral house every day to ask the province, and the rules are the same as at home. Listening to Wu Taijun's words, Zhang Zhan's wife Yun hurriedly took her daughter-in-law Zhang and granddaughter-in-law Cui to come forward to bow and thank you, and then slowly withdrew.

On the side, the Chen family stood still, and waited for the four rooms to quit before he stepped forward and said to Wu Taijun: "Today, the old man has something to do, and few people are at home. Ying Ge'er has just come back, and I don't think I have seen him everywhere. Fortunately, the relatives and relatives of the family brought it back, and they were all there for a while, but they could see it completely. Now that the old lady has sent us to change clothes at home, I thought it would be better to take advantage of this time to let Brother Ying follow me to the East Mansion first. One is that my second grandfather has a temperament, and he is the most impatient to compose poems and essays, and most of them return early; second, he also let Brother Ying meet his brothers and sisters; and third, the old ancestor said that today's people are all together, and it is suitable to kowtow everywhere, so he asked my brother to follow me to the second room, and I will simply complete the number of salutes for this visit—how does the old lady feel?"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Taijun laughed early: "It's cheap." He turned to Zhang Hui and said, "Brother Ying'er, you will go with your second wife." I'll see you later, and then I'll come back to me. ”

Chapter responded. Chen took his two daughters-in-law, Yin, Wang and Wu Taijun, to say goodbye, and took Zhang back to the Dongfu where the second room was located. Here, Wu Taijun has his eldest daughter-in-law, Li, and eldest granddaughter-in-law, Hong, who are not to mention things such as changing clothes and gargle.
