Chapter 88
said that he wanted to go back to Zhu's house, and he only returned after the noon period of time in the restaurant, and Hongzhu was only a person who entered Zhu's house at the beginning, but he didn't know that Li said: "In the end, we have left home, and it will not be good to be empty when we go back." β
Hongzhu was surprised: "Mother, how can there be such heavy rules, we have only been out for a few days." β
Li Shi looked at her helplessly and said: "It's not good to talk about living together before, but in the eyes of others, we are two families, and this New Year's Moon has not yet come out, and I didn't take anything when I went to my relative's house, and I was laughed at when I turned around." β
Hongzhu is not so stingy, and she doesn't want to bring anything to the Zhu family, she is just worried that she will open this case, and she will have to do it in the future, and take the old lady Zhu back to toss people, isn't it extremely bad.
When she said this, Li was angry and funny, nodded her forehead, and said: "In the past, everyone said that my daughter was smart and capable, and I took it seriously, and I was happy in my heart." But now that I came out, I saw it clearly, and I raised a silly girl. She laughed, and said after a while: "It is said that relatives are moving around, and how can there really be a return gift, it is a real gift, and you can also get a return gift, this is the way to get along with serious relatives." If you think about your little aunt, she only brought something to your grandmother once in five or six times. β
Hongzhu hadn't spoken yet, but Cheng Wenhan was unhappy when he heard it, and he was upset for his sister, he only said: "Mother, I think my sister is just reminding you." You really don't think lightly of grandma, aunt is her own daughter, she can't do well, grandma is reluctant to say her, as for us, can it be the same? She also said that at sunrise, we are not allowed to come out and give her up, and we have to go back to wait for her from time to time. β
Li actually knew that Mrs. Zhu's temperament was not ordinary, and it was really difficult for them to be alone. But even if Cheng Wenhan's words have some truth, he understands it in his heart, where can he say it with a big grin.
Li Shi looked at his son and sighed: "Why doesn't my mother understand? It's just that you say this in front of your mother, don't show such a meaning when you look back." Let someone else know, don't mention how inappropriate your grandmother's temperament is, only say that you forgot your roots, and you have only been away from the Zhu family for a few days, and you don't miss the good of the Zhu family at all, and you also selfishly arrange the elders. β
Hongzhu didn't want to say this about Cheng Wenhan in her heart, but thinking that he would study and socialize in the future, this little bit of heart still had to be sharpened, so she nodded Yan SΓΉ according to her mother's words.
Cheng Wenhan was reprimanded by the Li family so lightly, and seeing that Hongzhu also recognized, although he was a little unhappy, he obediently agreed.
Li Shi said: "If we follow the rules, we don't honor in front of the elders, which will give the elderly more money for their daily chewing and silver." β
Hongzhu was shocked when she heard this, and only asked: "Mother, we didn't mention this when we came out, and when my father was here, he also sent money to grandma?"
Li shook his head and sighed, "At that time, your grandmother was angry with your father, saying that she wanted to cut it off, and she didn't tell your father about it." But who can turn around and forget his mother? Your father is a filial and obedient person, who moved out at that time, and he also went to the Zhu family every New Year's Day to give gifts. I thought that we were having a bit of a hard time here at the moment, and that we should pick up your father's old routine when we were better in the future. β
Hongzhu thought about it and agreed. As long as she doesn't need to wait for Mrs. Zhu every day and spend some money to fulfill her father's filial piety, she is also willing.
Although Cheng Wenhan is not calm enough, he reads a lot, and he also knows that the word support is not something that can be given up if he has a bad relationship and can't get along.
In the middle of the afternoon, they went to Zhu's house with gifts such as bacon, sausages, dried dates, and brown sugar. They entered through the back door, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, Hongzhu saw Zhu Yanmei and Zhu Zilan all there.
Today, the weather is fine, and there is no wind in the rare time, Mrs. Zhu moved her rocking chair out and was lying idly under the porch with half-squinting eyes. Zhu Yanmei sat on the left, holding Zhu Sanbao in one hand and eating melon seeds in the other. On the right, Zhu Zilan rarely took a handkerchief in her hand, and embroidered carefully with her head down in the sun.
Hongzhu has been busy these days, and she hasn't listened to the movements of the Zhu family, but now that she looks at the clothes on Zhu Zilan's body, they are still so fine and bright, and she thinks that she should still live with Zhu Yanmei recently, and she has not returned to the Zhu family.
Now that Zhu Biyun is married, Zhu Zilan refuses to stay in the Zhu family without listening to discipline, and goes to her and her mother to work together, I'm afraid the Jiang family is really having a hard time. Hongzhu thought about it like this, and the anger she had received from the Jiang family disappeared a little. She was also in the mood to greet the Zhu family, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Grandma, aunt, we are here." β
Li said: "Mother, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you feel good?"
Mrs. Zhu opened her eyes at this time, looked them up and down a few times, and said lukewarmly: "What's good or bad, they are all a lot older, no matter how they are, they can't compare to your younger." β
As soon as Cheng Wenhan heard her voice, he hurriedly came over to greet her and opened his words, he handed the dried jujube brown sugar in his hand to Mrs. Zhu, and said with a smile: "Where is grandma old, who said that I will scold him for this mouth!" Grandma, this is the food I brought you, just eat it as a snack, replenish qi and blood, and be good for your body, look back at you, you must be a few years younger." β
Seeing Cheng Wenhan's grandson, Mrs. Zhu still had a good face, so she smiled faintly and took it, and praised him: "Wenhan can talk when he moves out." It's just that your sweet mouth will coax people. β
Zhu Yanmei on the side took the bacon from Li Shiti, and saw that Mrs. Zhu was a little smiling, so she also laughed and said: "I think Wen Han is like my third brother, he is well-behaved, he is also filial, and he can remember his kindness! β
Hongzhu frowned, secretly annoyed that Zhu Yanmei was slandering people in her words, look at what she said, obviously their family came to the door to give gifts, but her brother could get a good one, and she and her mother were still the ones who forgot their roots.
Li has never been to talk to people about these tongues, and when she saw that Hongzhu's face was a little wrong, she reached out and pulled her.
Hongzhu didn't want to make a fuss when she entered the door, but she barely endured it. Looking around, Jiang was not in the courtyard, and he thought he was going to the grocery store in front of him. Since Mrs. Zhu and the others were sitting here basking in the sun, the three of Hongzhu also moved a stool to sit together. When the Zhu family came, there was no one else to greet them, so Hongzhu went to get the tea bowl and drank it by herself.
Looking back at Zhu Yanmei making fun of Mrs. Zhu, Hongzhu asked her: "It's really a coincidence, when we came, we saw my aunt, I don't know if we are lucky, or if our aunt's house is empty recently, how many more days will we stay here?"
Zhu Yanmei smiled and said, "I really want to live here for half a month, and my house won't be turned over when I turn around." Your uncle is not at home on weekdays, but he still doesn't want me to go out, only saying that as soon as I leave, the food at home will have no taste. It's strange for me to hear him say this, and because of my broken craft, your uncle is still worried about it. And your younger brother Shuisheng, who didn't see me for a day, turned around and was about to cry when he saw and grabbed my clothes, he was three years old and clingy. β
Shui Sheng is the nickname of Zhu Yanmei's son Zhao Tong, when he was born, a gentleman counted the eight characters, saying that it was a lack of water, so he had to take such a nickname and shout. At first glance, it sounds like a fisherman's child.
Hongzhu doesn't know what happened in Zhu Yanmei's family, but if you really want to say that she is living in harmony, Hongzhu doesn't believe it. Therefore, when Zhu Yanmei said this, Hongzhu couldn't help but look at Zhu Zilan's face. Thinking about it, Zhu Zilan has been living in her aunt's house recently, and she knows some details.
Sure enough, although Zhu Zilan still looked down at her embroidery, the corners of her mouth still twitched slightly with disdain when she listened to them.
Hongzhu smiled secretly in her belly, and she didn't have the heart to expose Zhu Yanmei's words, but she saw Zhu Yanmei's smug expression, as if she was waiting for her to ask, she didn't say anything, only nodded and smiled in response.
Zhu Yanmei waited for a long time and didn't see her ask, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she glanced at Hongzhu slightly, blaming her for not being interested in her eyes. In the end, she said to herself: "I'm here to spread the good news, your brother-in-law has returned from the capital a while ago!"
Hongzhu woke up for a long time before he remembered this "brother-in-law", it turned out that the third master of the Zhao family had returned. Zhu Biyun married to the Zhao family as a concubine, and such a "brother-in-law" is also a loss to Zhu Yanmei to speak, and I don't know if the real third grandmother of the Zhao family can listen to it, whether she will come up and tear Zhu Yanmei's mouth.
But it's not why, this Zhao Xun is back, and Hongzhu is also happy for Zhu Biyun, so he smiled and said It's really a good thing.
Cheng Wenhan was a little curious, and only asked: "I didn't see anyone on the day I returned to the door, and now that I said that the person is back, do you want to come over to recognize your relatives?"
As soon as she said this, Hongzhu saw that Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Yanmei's faces changed. At a glance, Hongzhu still doesn't understand the cattiness. said before that she could go back to the door, but it was because Mrs. Zhao wanted to have a grandson, so she slightly promoted the Zhu family and took the second room as a relative. But before they got married at that time, Zhao Xun went to the capital, and said that there was something urgent, but there was no clear word to the Zhu family about what it was. Now that people have entered the door, just Zhao Xun, a high-ranking son, where would he care about opening a grocery store in the second room. If you really want someone to come to the door, isn't it a joke?
It was also Cheng Wenhan who was young, and was surrounded by Zhu Yanmei's "brother-in-law", so he said the wrong thing.
Hongzhu was afraid that these two people would scold his younger brother, so he hurriedly said: "The talent has just come back, and it is the first month of the New Year, and he is tired and busy, how can he be so uninteresting to disturb people." These two families have been married for a long time, and they are not in a hurry. β
Cheng Wenhan also saw a few points, so he responded obediently.
Mrs. Zhu glanced at Hongzhu, Xu was satisfied, and grabbed a handful of red dates for her, "Hongzhu is also older in the New Year, and she looks a little bit like a big girl, which is good." β
Zhu Yanmei also sighed: "The days go by quickly, and the children are sensible." β
Hongzhu smiled and took the red dates, thanked the people, and said, "Grandma, it looks like the New Year is about to come out......
Mrs. Zhu was not confused, and when she saw them coming over today, she guessed a few points in her heart.
Hongzhu continued: "My father's business is not two days away, and we came here to ask grandma for her idea. β
Mrs. Zhu's expression faded by two points, and she only said: "You do it yourself, and you will do your best." Now I can't take care of your house, I don't have anything to say. β
Li also knew that it was not a good thing to say this in the first month, and now he asked it, and Mrs. Zhu said this, that is. "We all know," she said. β
After saying that, half of what they had done was done. Hongzhu asked about Zhu Boxiu, and when he heard that he was in the house, he called Wen Han and said, "Come with me to see Brother Lobby." β
Cheng Wenhan naturally didn't say anything, and immediately went with her.
