Chapter 652
The next morning, the snow was thick.
Every household in the village has people climbing on the roof to clear the snow.
When they opened the door to the room and went out, the snow had been cleared.
Xiao'er deliberately got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to bake some pastries for the Liu family to give to the people in the village who had been good friends.
The western pastries in Liu Jingshu's bakery have become the first choice for many merchants who go to the imperial capital to do business to buy back souvenirs to their families and friends, and the branch shops have also opened in many states and counties near the imperial capital, and Shengping County is also preparing to open this year. It can be said that although her shop's pastries have not yet opened branches in the country, they are already famous throughout the country. That's why Xiao'er deliberately gets up early in the morning to bake cakes, so that those who have given their family warmth can also taste this nationally famous cake.
These pastries are not sold cheaply, even if Shengping County opens a branch, the people in the village are probably reluctant to buy and eat.
After the family had breakfast, Liu took out the gifts he brought back from the imperial capital and prepared to send them to the families who had befriended him and helped his family before. Just like the blessed daughter-in-law, Dashi's daughter-in-law and others, the Liu family must go to see them, and the grandfather's family also needs to visit in person, so that people can't forget about them when they feel that their family is rich.
Liu brought back a lot of fabrics, although it was only muslin, but the quality was much better than that sold in the cloth village in Shengping County, and the price was not much more expensive. There are also some delicate silk flowers and some silver stud earrings in Polaroid jewelry, which are more affordable, and of course, some food that can be preserved.
The eldest brother of the old man Shen who went to visit the family first was Shen Renfu's family, after all, he was Shen Chengyao's uncle.
As for the people in the old mansion, no one mentioned going to the old mansion to have a look.
Shen Renfu had never agreed with the old man Shen and Shen Zhuang's style before, so the two families were incompatible, and the Shen Zhuang family did not allow them to have too much contact with Shen Renfu's family, and later separated, Xiao'er's family built a house, opened up wasteland, and built roads for the village, and the lobby brother Shen Jingfu also came to help, so the two families gradually moved around, so it was reasonable to visit first.
Walking into the village, Liu found that several families in the village had built new houses.
"The village has also changed a lot, and so many people have built new houses. Liu sighed.
"It's all the credit that my mother took them to make toy parts in the first place. Xiao'er said with a smile.
"Do you want to say it's all your fault?"
"It's all seen by my mother!"
Several people laughed when they heard Xiao'er's words.
The people who were sweeping the snow on the roof couldn't help but rub their eyes when they saw Liu, and it wasn't until Liu greeted them with a smile that they believed they were really not mistaken.
Then soon, the whole village knew that the Liu family was back! Mrs. Hou was back!
Children in the countryside don't have any toys, but in the summer they can go to the river to catch fish, use a slingshot to bounce birds, dig eggs from the trees, and in the winter they can only have snowball fights and build snowmen.
At this time, there are already many children building snowmen on the village road. Many of the children don't remember Xiao'er anymore, and some of them don't know either.
Liu saw that they all gave them a few candies to eat.
With such a beautifully packaged candy, where have these children ever eaten it, they all hurriedly took these candies and ran home to show them to their mothers.
The family stopped and walked to the door of Shen Renfu's family, Shen Jingfu was cleaning the snow on the roof of the kitchen house, Jing Rui saw him sharply, and took the lead in shouting: "Brother Lobby." ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Jingfu raised his head and looked over, and he was so happy that he almost fell off the roof.
Then he shouted loudly: "Damn the child, open the door quickly, the third sister-in-law is here with a few children!"
Ji Shi asked as he went to open the door, "Third sister-in-law, that third sister-in-law?"
Everyone calls the women in the village are generally either someone's daughter-in-law, or they are the number of ranks, according to the ranking of their men, what is the sister-in-law, and there are many people who are called the third sister-in-law in the village.
"What kind of third sister-in-law, I only have one cousin who is ranked third, it's Chengyao's daughter-in-law! She and Rui'er are waiting outside the door, go and open the door!" Shen Jingfu said as he climbed down the ladder.
Hearing this, Ji Shi hurriedly ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Liu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law." ”
"Aunt Cousin. Xiao'er's brothers and sisters also greeted each other obediently.
"Oh, it's really the third sister-in-law, you're back, I thought Jingfu lied to me! Come into the house and sit down, it's cold outside. Ji said happily.
A few people walked together to the hall.
Liu asked as he walked, "What about the uncle and aunt, are you okay?"
"It's been cold these days, and the feet of the two old people are hurting, I'm worried that they will fall, let them lie on the kang, don't walk around, now I hear the movement, I guess it's time to get up. ”
It's true, Shen Renfu and Shen Lin got dressed and walked out.
After several people greeted each other, Shen Renfu asked, "Didn't Chengyao come back?"
This is the words of concern for her, Liu Shi felt warm when she heard this, she smiled and said: "The child's father has official business and can't leave, and now he is on the way back." My mother's fiftieth birthday, I came back with the child first. ”
"Good boy, it's hard for you to have this filial piety, so far, no one blames you if you don't come back. Shen Lin heard that Liu was back to congratulate his mother-in-law on her birthday, and praised it.
Liu smiled: "I haven't come back for so many years, and I miss it so much, and when I saw that there was an excuse to come back, I didn't care about anything and came back directly." ”
"You kid!" Shen Lin shook his head and smiled, then looked at Xiao'er's brothers and sisters, and praised each of them.
"This is Xiao'er and Yun'er, they look so good, I remember that it's time for the next year, have you said kiss?"
"It's already decided, Xiao'er is the son of Shangguan, and Yun'er is Brother Ri. ”
Shen Lin thought about it, and a young man in purple clothes and jade trees appeared in his memory, and he nodded: "They are all good children." ”
Now they don't know the true identities of Shangguan Xuanyi and Brother Ri'er, but when they found out later, their jaws fell to the ground in shock.
I couldn't have imagined that their Shen family also had two golden phoenixes! This is really the green smoke billowing from the ancestral tomb!
Shen Renfu looked at Xiao Jingzhe in Liu's arms and asked with a smile: "This is Chengyao's new Ding, this child is really good-looking, the old man has lived for dozens of years and it is the first time to see such a good-looking child! ”
Liu gave Xiao Jingzhe to Shen Renfu, and the two old men looked at this big fat nephew and were reluctant to blink.
"Come, it's cold, drink some hot tea first. Ji came in with a tray of tea.
