Hongzhu didn't feel anything by herself, and after Li Shi finished speaking, she felt uncomfortable again, and she didn't say anything. She also understands the hard work of Hongzhu in her heart, and it is very distressing to see the tired appearance of her children.

Hongzhu understood her thoughts at a glance, sighed secretly, reached out and grabbed her hand to comfort her, and shouted softly: "Mother, I'm cold, is there hot water in the house?"

After saying this, Li remembered and hurriedly let his children in, and asked Second Uncle Li to come into the house to drink hot tea to warm up.

Second Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "The road is not far, I'll go back." ”

Li was not polite to him, thanked Second Uncle Li for sending him off, pulled his children back to the room and poured tea and boiled water after being busy.

Cheng Wenhan was really tired, and he didn't feel anything outside, and when he returned to the house to warm up, he lay down awkwardly and fell asleep without waiting to wash his feet. When Li came back and saw him, he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he squatted on the side of the bed and soaked his shoes and feet, looked back at Hongzhu and said, "Hongzhu, if you go directly to the restaurant tomorrow, it's too tiring to toss back and forth like this." ”

Hongzhu said: "Mother, it's just two or three days, it's okay." Mother, you think, if I'm not here tomorrow, I don't know what grandma and they are going to say, I don't get in the way, just listen to it, but you are home alone, where can you stand it?"

Li frowned and thought about it, wiped Cheng Wenhan's feet, and took off his coat for him to lie down and sleep, before he said seriously: "You can't be a mother of paper, I thought that we were still living here, and I was worried that the family would have trouble with harmony...... We're going to move out in a few days, and I'm afraid they won't be able to say a few unpleasant words. ”

Hongzhu felt surprised when she heard her say this, and replied happily: "Mother, if you really want to think like this, I just have to work hard for a few days!"

Li Shi turned back to her and smiled, "...... It's all my fault. ”

Hongzhu shook her head, and after thinking about it deeply, she felt that even if Li said that she didn't care about Mrs. Zhu, but in the end, something really happened, and Li's mouth was clumsy and couldn't help people, and it was still inevitable that she would be angry, so why bother, like her mother's heart, it was not good for her body to hold it in her heart. Hongzhu still replied: "Mother, I know what you mean, but it's only been a few days, not to mention that it's to do Sister Biyun's business, I also want Sister Biyun to go out and be happy." That's it. ”

Li Shi heard her talk about Zhu Biyun, so he agreed, and said, "Then you take care of yourself...... Don't think that if you are young and can withstand it, you will not be sensible, and you will have to rest and slow down after doing work for a while. ”

"I see. Hongzhu replied.

Then the two of them packed up and went to sleep.

Because of Li's words last night, Hongzhu woke up early in the morning on the second day and felt refreshed and in a good mood, and she didn't feel hard at all, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast as soon as she washed up. When Li got up, she was all busy with her work, and she was surprised. When they turned around and saw that the Zhu family was up, the two went to the hall to clean up.

Zhu Biyun stayed in the room as usual and didn't come out, and Hongzhu only saw her hanging her head in the morning and hurriedly came out to bring hot water, and the basin was still not very energetic Zhu Zilan took it back. Hongzhu knew that this was the bride's way of marrying, even if it was just at this point, it would be good to be able to prepare a few more new clothes, more purses, handkerchiefs and other things.

Had breakfast, but it wasn't so quick to come guests. Jiang sat still, so he took out the list and went to the dowry again. The marriage of a daughter who has been raised for more than ten years is such a family affair, and Jiang is reluctant to give up in his heart, and he can't wait to prepare something for her. But Zhu Biyun is not a good lady, and she can't even have much dowry, let alone conspicuous swagger...... Jiang weighed it in every possible way, and only prepared two real boxes for her, which were all made of good wood, and even this material cost a lot. There are no big pieces in the box, as far as the Zhu family is concerned, it is a joke to prepare any jade calligraphy and painting ornaments for their daughter, Jiang Shi added it to the truth, and stuffed a lot of clothes and fabrics of various colors, and the head of the jewelry also gave her daughter three or four sets.

Early in the morning, he happily rummaged through things again, but then Jiang was idle. Seeing that there were Zhu Yanmei and Zilan in hospitality, and Li and Hongzhu were busy pouring tea and pouring water and other chores inside and outside, she was also satisfied.

In the end, it is the Shangyuan Festival, who doesn't want to have a lively life, although the evening is the time to go out shopping and enjoy the lights, but there are many families who go out happily early in the morning. Even when I went to the market, I had to look here and there, and there were also one or two people who found that there was a lack of such and such an urgent need at home, so they wanted to buy some, and naturally they also asked about the grocery store.

When Mrs. Zhu heard the noise in the morning, she understood why. Seeing that Jiang was busy going back and forth, she couldn't hold back all morning, beckoned Zhu Guida and Jiang in, and asked Jiang first: "How many people have you sent letters to? ”

Jiang Shi didn't understand what Old Lady Zhu meant, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Mrs. Zhu's eyebrows were relaxed, and she said, "In this case, the grocery store in front should be open." Today is the Shangyuan Festival, there are many people shopping on the street, and business is definitely not bad. ”

Jiang Shi was naturally unhappy after hearing this, and only said: "Mother, this is a good day for Biyun, and there is no shortage of ...... for doing business for one day or two."

Mrs. Zhu also felt that Fang Cai's words were a little inappropriate, so she explained more, "When I was greedy for money for that day or two? I was just thinking about those neighborhood customers in the old days." You don't want to think about what kind of business we are doing, how can our shop have a day and a half off in previous years? This time, because of Biyun's affairs, the shop was closed for one day and closed for two days, and it has been delayed for a month, and how many things have been missed by old customers? If this continues, everyone will change to other houses to help, and they can still think about what the past love can't be done!"

As Mrs. Zhu spoke, her tone was a little bad, and a pair of sharp eyes followed. Jiang's expression was stunned for a moment, and he added a sentence after half a sound: "Mother, my mother's house hasn't come here yet, so I should come today...... There's a shop in front of it, and it doesn't look like ......."

But I didn't want Mrs. Zhu to hear this, but she was even more annoyed, and only said: "Hmph, I really don't want to hear this, your mother's family is a few cities away? It will take a few months to get over? Yesterday, the old relatives of the Zhu family in Xu County came, and they were all relatives who had been separated by several generations, and when they heard about the happy event, they also rushed to say congratulations, which shows that the etiquette is proper and the people are generous! It is not as good as other families, it is the grandfather and uncle, what time is it, not to mention coming to help, even come to the door to ask a word!"

Jiang was annoyed by Mrs. Zhu's ridicule and scolding, but it was not easy to reply on his face. Thinking of his own mother's father and brother's style, after all, he felt sorry, and he really couldn't say anything hard, so he could only secretly complain about his relatives.

Zhu Guida has been running inside and outside for the past two days, although his face is a little happy, but he still feels tired, at this time, he looked left and right, only to feel annoyed, sighed deeply, and interjected: "Mother, the Jiang family has big rules there, if you don't come, you won't come, and if you come, you're afraid that it won't look good." ”

Mrs. Zhu didn't listen to the persuasion, but said: "What's not good-looking? No matter what, this is a happy event, and you think that people don't like it in your own heart? Those are all your daughter-in-law's relatives! Can you still deliberately make trouble and accuse people of scolding us for being unruly?"

Jiang's heart jumped, and when she thought of her father's stubborn and pedantic nature, she really couldn't tell. But in the face of Mrs. Zhu's squeezing words, she couldn't refute it at all. Biyun was already weak in her heart, and when she thought about it like this, she held her breath and stopped entertaining the Jiang family.

Seeing that Jiang was silent, Mrs. Zhu snorted coldly, and in the end she asked Zhu Guida to open a grocery store in front of her, and packed up some lanterns and other things to sell. A few days ago, the Zhu family was busy, and there were no holiday goods prepared for this year's festival, but several acquaintances who supplied in previous years still carried a few fashionable things to the Zhu family's grocery store.

In fact, there were really not many relatives and friends coming to Zhu's house during the Shangyuan Festival, and even Hongzhu and Li took the time to rest in the house for a while, and Hongzhu also said that if this was the case in the afternoon, she would go to the restaurant to help and not stay at Zhu's house. Lee's should naturally be.

The Jiang family waited until almost noon to usher in a sister-in-law of the Jiang family. The Jiang family has two brothers and a younger sister, and the Jiang family in the east of the city is an old family, and there are no less than seventy or eighty relatives up and down. But when someone came, there was only such a sister-in-law, who was lonely and empty-handed, which was really a slap in the face.

When Jiang greeted people at the door, the smile on his face couldn't hold back, and he stiffened after a while.

And the sister-in-law of the Jiang family is a little sleek, and her face is also smiling, congratulating her for saying a lot of things. Jiang didn't have the face to ask why the others of the Jiang family didn't come, and the Jiang family's sister-in-law didn't mention it. It's just that this person's footsteps are too hurried, and after greeting a few words, after seeing Mrs. Zhu in the hall, the sister-in-law of the Jiang family took a look at Zhu Biyun and sent a few sets of beads, and then said that the family was waiting for her to take care of the Shangyuan Festival, and she went back after sitting for a while.

Jiang sent the person away, and when he turned around, he left a cold face.

This time, Zhu Yanmei was kind-hearted, not to ridicule her with some strange words as usual, and seemed to feel empathy and hold her breath, but it was not good to scold in front of Jiang, so she vigorously pulled Jiang in and slammed the door very hard. When she turned around and saw that Mrs. Zhu was going to say something, Zhu Yanmei deliberately smiled and diverted the conversation, not letting her speak.

With Zhu Yanmei's involvement, Mrs. Zhu snorted, and she didn't let Jiang get off the stage.

The Li family also knew about this, and when he turned around, he sighed with Hongzhu.

Hongzhu really didn't expect the Jiang family to do such a desperate job, according to the Jiang family's temperament, at this time, he endured it, and he was afraid that he would give birth to the boss.

Li Shi only said: "What about scholars, their own relatives and relatives, and they still look down on people like this......"

Hongzhu replied casually: "Mother, you see that scholars are not all good people." ”

Li didn't know what to think, and his brows furrowed.

Hongzhu didn't bother to say more to her, so she left a sentence and went to the restaurant. It's also a coincidence that she went, there are a lot of people on the street today, and many people don't want to go home when they get to the meal at noon.

Hongzhu was only happy to see this, and as soon as she turned around, she went to the kitchen, and was washing her hands, when Cheng Wenhan came over in a hurry, and leaned into Hongzhu's ear a little sneakily and whispered: "Sister, there are a few strange people outside our restaurant today......
