"Then Cheng~~!, let Zhuzi find someone to help clean up the house, let's live in your sister's house for a few days, and when the house is cleaned up, we will move over!" Li Dazhuang patted the dust on his hands and said.
In this way, Li Dazhuang's family did not go back, and went directly from Li Hui to the pillar house across the wall, for such a result, the Li family was very happy, especially Aunt Li, she also accompanied her daughter here, which was really very happy in my heart.
And after the pillar smashed down a lot of silver, it took less than ten days to clean up the three courtyards, and Xing'er took the opportunity to choose some furniture for the house, and the Li family waited until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month to leave Xing'er and move to a new courtyard.
Considering that the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, Li Hui and Xing'er directly prepared all the things to be used for the New Year, whether it is food or use, loaded them in several carriages, and sent them directly to the new courtyard of the Li family.
He and his mother lived in the middle yard, and the eldest and the fourth lived in a courtyard, the third and fourth lived in a courtyard, and the house with a total of six side rooms was there, and they were generous regardless of where the family lived now. It makes everyone very happy.
And after everything in the house was settled, Aunt Li called her four daughters-in-law to her.
"I called you here today because I have something to tell you!" After Aunt Li finished speaking, she took out four small money bags from her arms and put them on the table, and then said to her daughters-in-law: "Although we are not separated now, it is not the same as in the past, so I discussed it with my father, and in the future, you will eat in your own small courtyard during the day, and dinner will come to us, and we will still cook in the same way as before, and you two will take turns cooking!"
"And then this is it~!" Aunt Li pointed to the small money bag she put on the table and said, "Because you will have to cook in your own courtyard in the future, I will give you two taels of silver as expenses at the beginning of each month in the future!"
As soon as Aunt Li said this, the four daughters-in-law were all stunned, they never thought that their mother-in-law would have such an arrangement, and two taels of silver every month! Over the course of a year, it was more than 20 taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money that they did not dare to imagine.
"It's not appropriate for my mother!" said Dashi as he twisted the handkerchief in his hand.
And hearing Da Da's words, Liu lowered her head slightly and pouted, her mother-in-law's proposal just now made her very happy, and she also knew a lot about Da Da's, knowing that Da Da's was also excited, but she said such things in order to sell well in front of her mother-in-law, which is why she especially disliked Da Da's.
"Nothing suitable or inappropriate~!" Aunt Li waved her hand to say that it was really nothing, "I said, now the family lives like this, except for the little four, you also have children, it is very troublesome to take care of these children every day, it will be too hard if you are like in the past, and now there are Banxia and Lilacs, I can't move, the men are not at home during the day, everyone can deal with it, and wait until the men in the house come over in the evening, you are here to cook!"
After saying this, Aunt Li didn't give the daughters-in-law a chance to speak, so she directly sent the four money bags to the four daughters-in-law in turn, and then sent them back to their own yards.
After the four of them returned to their respective courtyards, they told their men what their mother-in-law said to them and the arrangements, but for this matter, Aunt Li and the two of them had greeted their four sons in advance, so they directly told their daughter-in-law that this matter would be done according to their mother's arrangement, and those of them who were daughters-in-law heard this, not to mention how happy they were in their hearts, you must know that this is two taels of silver a month, and the expenses of a small family are definitely more than enough, which means that as long as they are careful in their calculations, they can leave a lot of silver in a yearใ
"Alas~~!I'm really old, or Hui Niang's child is smart, and she sees everything so thoroughly!" Aunt Li, who was lying on the bed, said to her husband with emotion: "You don't know that when I told the four of them about this today, although I said no, that person's heart was not happy!"
"Okay~!What are you doing with this~!" Li Dazhuang turned over and said: "It's not that you're old, it's that Hui Niang's girl is smart! But that's good, didn't you always complain to me before that the daughters-in-law's small actions in private continued! Now it's okay, there is no need to divide the family, and there is no need to let them all live their own little lives!"
"This is it~!" Aunt Li said very agreeably, "But this is really thanks to Hui Niang and their two brothers and sisters, we can be like this now, and we can live such a good life!"
"It's not~!" Li Dazhuang also said with emotion: "Our family follows our son-in-law and Hui Niang, and the days will definitely get better and better in the future!"
"That's it~!" Aunt Li laughed as she spoke, "You see that my mother has also thought about the great fortune of a few children, and now there are people to serve them!"
"That's good!" Li Dazhuang changed his posture and looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Otherwise, I'll buy you two maids to serve you! You have also suffered with me for most of your life, and you should enjoy the blessings!"
"What nonsense are you talking about~!" Aunt Li reached out and hammered her man, "I don't have that life~~!"
But then Aunt Li's tone paused and said, "I'll tell you something! When I left Xing'er before, Hui Niang suddenly talked to me, and she said that she hoped to send Xiu'er's girl to live with her aunt for a year or two after the year!"
"Go to Xing'er to live?" Li Dazhuang frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Yes~!" Aunt Li's tone couldn't help but raise a little when she said this: "Hui Niang said that she invited Xiaocai to invite a relegated grandmother who had retired from the palace to come over and teach the rules, so she also wanted Xiu'er to go over to learn the rules for a year or two, and then she would be almost too old to say goodbye, so she could find a good family!"
"This is really a great thing!" Li Dazhuang sat up directly when he heard this, although Xiu'er was a girl, but in the end he was also his first grandchild, and he was not so patriarchal, although he said that he liked his grandson, but he also loved his granddaughter, if his granddaughter could really follow the rules of the palace for a few years, then it would be too easy to find someone in the future!
"Hurry up and lie down, be careful of frostbite!" Aunt Li hurriedly pulled her husband back into the bed, "Even if you are happy, you can't look like this!"
"Hehe~~!" Uncle Li laughed a few times and asked his daughter-in-law: "You told your eldest daughter-in-law about this?"
"Not yet~~!" Aunt Li tucked the quilt tightly and said, "I plan to wait until the next year to talk about it, I'm afraid that her tail will reach the sky when I say it at this time!"
"It's also ~~!" Although Li Dazhuang is a father-in-law, but after so many years, he also knows a lot about his daughters-in-law, and knows that the eldest daughter-in-law likes to step on other concubines everywhere.
"By the way, when the year comes, you will also take this opportunity to beat the third family, although Nizi is a girl, but she is also a child of our old Li family, how can it not be too much!" Li Dazhuang's voice was a little muffled when he said this, he was a father-in-law, and it was inconvenient to talk about his daughter-in-law, so this matter still had to be handed over to his daughter-in-law.
"I know this!" Speaking of her third daughter-in-law, Aunt Li also felt a headache, although the daughter-in-law of the third family had some minor problems, but she was the most heartless of the four daughters-in-law, but because it was not as much as other people's eyes, so this person was also a little twisted, if she decided to do something, you were saying that she couldn't do it, but fortunately, she likes to be greedy for some small gains, and it must be no problem to really use this to take her words.
Li Dazhuang and his wife lay on the bed and talked for a while before falling asleep, and there seemed to be something good happening in their sleep, and the two of them had smiles on their faces all the time.
Two days later is the New Year, and when the girl who got married on the second day of the Lunar New Year is going back to her parents' house, Aunt Li got up early in the morning, cleaned up the house, prepared all kinds of dried fruits and refreshments, and arranged today's meal, and then waited there restlessly for her daughter and son-in-law to come to the door.
Li Hui now has no mother's house, but Xing'er directly asked her to go back to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Hui also agreed very happily, so the two families directly took the gifts and went back to their parents' house in a mighty way.
Xing'er didn't tell her mother about Li Hui's appointment in advance, but Li Hui also came with her, which scared Aunt Li, but her heart was also full of joy.
"Come on~~!line up~~!Give me a good New Year's greeting, I'm going to give you a red envelope~!" Li Hui sat there with a little smug and said, and what she was holding in her hand was a string of purses, and each purse was not only finely made, but also bulging.
"How can this girl be like a child at this age!" Grandma Li said when she saw Li Huile like this.
"It's not~~!" Aunt Li was also talking with Grandma Li, but saw that her daughter also took out the prepared purse with Li Hui, and stood beside Li Hui waiting for the children to line up, "Xing'er, this girl is also messing around with her, and there is an aunt there!"
"That's good~!" Grandma Li's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "It's not all used to being given by the grandson's son-in-law!Look at it~~!Look at your son-in-law~~!"
Aunt Li looked in the direction pointed by her mother-in-law, and sure enough, the pillar standing on the side looked at Xing'er with Xiaocai with a weak face, and also ordered her subordinates to go over to help with the gifts, but she didn't dare to be tired of her daughter-in-law.
Seeing this scene, Aunt Li felt that her nose was sour, but her heart was full of joy, her daughter had married the wrong person before and suffered so much, but now she finally chose the right person and began to enjoy happiness!
Xiu'er and Li Man are old, and they are a little embarrassed to step forward to get the red envelope, but Li Hui in the big room and Nier in the third room passed happily, and Li Hui also held Nier in her arms and asked her to personally choose a purse of her favorite color.
"You two hurry up, what's the matter, I'm sorry!" Li Hui beckoned to Xiu'er and Li Man, "Even if you two are older, you are juniors in front of us, hurry up!"
Hearing Li Hui say this, Xiu'er and Li Mancai went over to take over the purse in Li Hui and Xing'er's hands, and the two children said a few pleasing words very well-behaved, which caused Li Hui to smile like a silver bell.
"Xiu'er, hurry up and give the purse to your mother, and let your mother see what is in this?" Liu Shi found an opportunity to call his daughter aside and asked hurriedly.
"Oh~~!" Xiu'er very obediently took out the two purses she had just gotten and handed them to her mother, and said very sensibly: "Mother, you help me put these two purses, I'm afraid I'll lose them!"
Liu smiled and said to his daughter: "It's really a good daughter, don't worry, my mother will put these things for you, and I will make them for you when you get married~~~~!"
The word dowry has not yet been spoken, Liu Shi looked at the things poured out of the two purses, and his eyes almost didn't pop out: "My good girl~~! This ~~~ This is red gold!"
What poured out of these two purses were red gold trees made into the pattern of seasonal flowers and Fulu Suki, and the apricot contained ten golden trees, and Li Hui's purse contained not only eight golden trees, but also two round pearls about the size of a little thumb.
"This~~~ This is too expensive!" Xiu'er herself was also taken aback, she thought that this purse was filled with copper coins, and there were two small silver trees in it at most, who would have thought that it was actually a red gold tree, not to mention, there were two so beautiful pearls.
