On this day, the whole family rested at home.

Just after the market day, Zhou Chungui's land was plowed, and all the seedlings went to the paddy field. So after Ying Qi's proposal and the whole family agreed, they decided to rest for a day.

"Dad, should we take some time to go to my grandmother's and send something to my mother?" Zhou Zhao suddenly mentioned.

Zhou Chungui frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, the last time Ying Qi was sick, it was the money given by her mother-in-law." Go when you want to. ”

"Mother, I don't want to go there, my second aunt is annoying. Before Ying Qi could explore her father's displeasure, Fu Yi had already explained the reason.

"Yi Wazi, the second aunt is not good, but the eldest aunt and the little aunt are excellent. Although Zhou Chungui was not very happy, he still had to say good things about his mother-in-law's family in front of his wife.

As he was talking, suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Magnolia, magnolia. A shrill woman's voice rang out outside the courtyard.

"I can't tell. "There is a saying that Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

Zhou Chungui and Zhou Zhao both frowned at the same time, it was the voice of the second uncle Fang Guihua who they were discussing.

"It's the second aunt. Fu Yi said. "Sister, Xiaobao, hurry up and hide all the meat in the house. ”

I saw that Zhou Chungui and Zhou Zhao had begun to hide the quilts, cloth and other things that they had recently purchased because the family had enough money. And Fu Yi began to hide all the meat and eggs under his bed.

Looking at the panic of the family, Ying Qi and Xiaobao glanced at each other, a little speechless. In this battle, it seems that their second aunt is a little superb. Even her father and mother are like this, it is estimated that this second aunt has come to her house to sweep a few times, and she is notorious.

"Magnolia, magnolia. The knocking on the door continued until everything was cleaned up and the house looked empty, of course, much better than when Ying Qi first came, and the pots and pans couldn't be cleaned up. At this time, Zhou Zhao went to open the courtyard gate.

"Magnolia, what are you doing? My throat is about to burst. The second uncle's mother, Fang Guihua, complained. Ying Qi raised her eyes, and sure enough, she was a woman with sharp eyebrows, a thin chin, and a bright red coarse cloth shirt, which could be seen at a glance.

And next to him stood a woman who was also thin and dressed in light blue coarse cloth, but with round eyebrows and broad lips, she looked like a gentle woman.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law. "The eldest aunt, the second aunt. Fu Yi also shouted with his mother, as for his father, he went out early, and when he heard this woman's voice, he could run 108,000 miles.

"The eldest aunt and the second aunt. Ying Qi hurriedly followed suit.

"Ouch, Sister Qi, this is great. Fang Guihua looked over. grabbed Ying Qi's arm. "Look at this ruddy little face, Magnolia, it's not a big credit for us borrowing you money to get the medicine at the time. ”

Ying Qi unceremoniously broke free with all her might, M, just grabbed it, and there was a red mark on her white and tender arm. Immediately the image of this second uncle is not good.

"Her aunt, what to borrow, it was given to Yulan by her mother. Zhou Xiangrong hurriedly spoke, she was a concubine, and she wished that all the cheapness would be stained.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come in and sit. I was in the chicken coop and didn't hear me. Zhao Yulan ignored Fang Guihua. beckoned the two into the courtyard.

It is impossible to entertain people in their own houses, nor is it a place to eat, and the hall is not able to entertain guests, so the peasants generally sit on the benches in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why are you free to come over today?"

"Ouch, Magnolia, I heard that your family is rich now. Sure enough, you see, the sacrifices all have candy. The sharp-eyed Fang Guihua passed by the edge of the hall and suddenly became louder.

Oh my God, Ying Qi and Xiao Bao glanced at each other, a little speechless, this woman, the sacrificial table is so far away, how did she see it.

"Where there is, it's just a matter of frugality. Zhao Yulan was also quite speechless. Turning his head to Fu Yi, he said, "Yi Wazi, go and pour some sugar water for the eldest and second aunts, and grab a few more beans." ”

Hu beans, also known as broad beans, were harvested last year and can be preserved after being dried.

Naturally, Fang Guihua's mouth was plugged when he had something to eat.

Zhou Xiangrong spoke, "His aunt, that's the case." When I was rushing to the market a few days ago, my mother and Osmanthus and his uncle met, and when it came to my sister-in-law, there was a suitable object in Fangjia Village. Each other is ready to take a look. If it's appropriate, you might have to get ready. ”

Now everyone understands, that is to say, the sister-in-law is getting married, and all the relatives are ready to add boxes and gifts.

And Fang Guihua looked around while eating, and always felt that there were some changes in the aunt's family, but she couldn't say why.

It's still the same as before, there are three benches in the yard, a dustpan next to the chicken coop, and two large water tanks next to it. Hey, how can there be two big water tanks. Fang Guihua walked over to see that one of the slightly smaller tanks was full of dried mushrooms.

"Auntie, is this a mushroom? Can you eat this?" Fang Guihua asked Zhao Yulan.

"It's not that your family sells meat, but it's mushrooms. Fang Guihua was a little puzzled.

"This can make soup, it's very fresh. It was all discovered by Qi Meier. If we store it like this, we won't have to worry about running out of wild vegetables in the winter. This discovery is much stronger than being discovered, Zhao Yulan thought so, and simply replied honestly.

"Can you really eat it?" Fang Guihua's eyes lit up. "Then I'll take a few back. This is not a question sentence, but a standard affirmative sentence. said that without waiting for Zhao Yulan's family to agree, they began to catch it in the tank.

Everyone was speechless, and Zhao Yulan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His aunt, I'll let Fu Yi and Ying Qi decorate it for you." Fu Yi was a little indignant, it was picked and dried by himself and his sister with great difficulty.

"Forget it, brother, give up your wealth to avoid disaster. Ying Qi stuck out her tongue and asked her brother and Xiaobao to help take two bunches of dried mushrooms and give them to the eldest aunt and the second aunt.

"That's good, Magnolia, we didn't bring anything with us. Zhou Xiangrong is much more modest.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. This is all picked by children. You can go back and pick it yourself at home, and then dry it. Zhao Yulan thought about the big family in her mother's family, and mentioned Zhou Xiangrong.

"Hmm. Zhou Xiangrong nodded. The family is also quite poor in winter.

Fang Guihua carried dried mushrooms and continued to look around, but after all, the inner room was someone's inner room, and it was impossible to really break in. Besides, this bunch of mushrooms, according to Zhao Yulan, is enough to eat for a few days.

But the rumors are still credible. I wanted to sneak to the stove hall to have a look.

"Auntie, do you still have sugar water? I'll go serve some more. Zhao Yulan didn't bother to pay attention to her, anyway, the things in the stove house were cleaned up. I simply discussed the matter of my little sister's marriage with Zhou Xiangrong.

Ying Qi nodded at Fu Yi, Fu Yi pulled Xiaobao and ran to follow Fang Guihua, after all, she couldn't let her run around, this second aunt, but she had the experience to run to the back room to sweep. Now I have all the valuable things in my house in two rooms.

"His aunt, I have already seen the days, and as soon as the next meeting is over, the fifteenth man will come to the house to see each other, and if it goes well, I will go to the man's house to see each other the next day. After all, those two days happened to be the day of Tiji. "Okay, I'll come here after the market. It just so happens that the market is closer to home. Zhao Yulan nodded.

"Mother, can we go too?" Ying Qi was naturally curious about this new thing.

"Do you want to go too? Okay, take the three of you with you. We'll just bring some more stuff for your grandmother then. "Zhao Yulan can think about it, anyway, the family is getting better and better, and it is okay to help her mother's family. What's more, the treatment for Qi Meier was a private room given by her mother.

The two finalized the date, and Zhou Xiangrong was ready to leave. While Fang Guihua was not there, Zhao Yulan asked Ying Qi to go to the back room to get a few candies and quietly give them to Zhou Xiangrong, and let her bring them to her two nieces. Zhou Xiangrong has two daughters, but she has no son yet, while Fang Guihua has a son and a daughter, so she is very pampered and domineering at home, and generally Zhou Xiangrong lets Fang Guihua.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, just give birth slowly, and my mother didn't urge you, did I. Regarding Zhou Xiangrong's gloom when she remembered that she had no son, Zhao Yulan comforted.

"Well, I know. Mother is fine, I'm fine. Zhou Xiangrong's smile was basically indistinguishable. After all, although her mother-in-law didn't say it, Fang Guihua, a concubine, had never shown off in front of her. So I'm still in a hurry.

"Auntie, it's time for us to go. I'm going to have to rush back. Zhou Xiangrong greeted Fang Guihua, who came out of the stove house with some frustration, the stove house was no different from before, and the two male babies kept staring, and Fang Guihua didn't have a chance to go to the back room to explore. It seems that there is only next time.

So he reluctantly left. Zhao Yulan's family didn't breathe a long sigh of relief until the courtyard door was closed.

Fu Yi and Xiaobao went to call his father Zhou Chungui back, and the family discussed going to grandma's house after the next market.
