Taste of 379 years

No one in the Chai family has dared to challenge the authority of the second elder of the Chai family, not to mention that it is not easy for Mrs. Chai to pull these children alone, and she can't be disobedient and unfilial when she talks about conscience.
Mrs. Chai suppressed the two daughters-in-law of the Chai family, and since then there have been no discordant notes, and the New Year is immediately a happy scene. No one doubted that the concubine would come back early, but when they had already dealt with the shops in Mingyang City, they were like arrows.
Xing'er stayed at Chai's house until the end of the New Year, and then got up and prepared to go back to her father's house for the New Year.
Sister-in-law Chai didn't dare to have any objections to Xing'er going back, after all, it was his family Awen who didn't do it authentically, and now Xing'er is not the Chai family, and it is natural for people to go back to their own homes, not to mention that there are also the second elder of the Chai family and the concubine to support Xing'er, but Sister-in-law Chai doesn't want Xing'er to take her baby grandson away.
ββ¦β¦ You said that we won't see Bao'er a few times throughout the year, so let him stay here for the New Year and stay with us for a few days - your fourth aunt is also here, you can rest assured. β
The concubine raised her eyebrows, and Sister-in-law Chai could have counted her into account.
It was she who helped Xing'er get out of Osmanthus Village, Xing'er treated her differently, Sister-in-law Chai also fought hard for her grandson, and she actually played tricks on her and brought her out, but she was afraid that Xing'er would refute her face if she was not good.
However, Sister-in-law Chai obviously underestimated Xing'er's heart as a mother, and Xing'er refused without hesitation:
"Mother, let's say okay, I'll go to Mingyang City with the fourth lady, and when you want your grandson to come, you can go and see it, or I'll come back with Bao'er. You went to Mingyang City to see it, and I came back for the New Year, but I'm not a member of the Chai family anymore, so I can't stay here all the time, it's not good to say. Besides, my father is lonely, and I can't leave him alone in the city during the Chinese New Year. Besides, what did he eat if he left Bao'er here? He's so young that he can't live without me. β
After a period of experience, Xing'er has a good conversation, and there are all kinds of people who come and go, and it is more than enough to deal with Chai's sister-in-law and a peasant woman.
Sister-in-law Chai didn't want to talk about it herself, so she let Xing'er give it mercilessly, and her face immediately looked bad.
"You can eat rice soup, which child without milk doesn't live like this-"
"Bao'er is not a child without milk," Xing'er hated Chaiwen in her heart, but she only thanked her in-laws, and she was not impatient at all when she was made difficult like this.
ββ¦β¦ Mother, I know you like Bao'er, but it's not bad these days. After the New Year, if you want Bao'er, you can go to T-Lane again - or I will come back with Bao'er one day. β
"I just want to spend the New Year with Bao'erβ"
"Auntie, my brother has divorced Sister Xing'er, and he didn't want the child, Sister Xing'er still lets you see the child from time to time, it's enough for Bao'er to be old, you just grab it from his mother, you don't feel distressed when you're hungry, my sister Xing'er's mother is still distressed." "Chai Fangqing and Xing'er both live in T-shaped alleys, and the more they have been together for a long time, the more they lose their temper, she doesn't care whether Sister-in-law Chai's face is good or not - the main thing is that she doesn't look at people's faces, and her position is all on Xing'er's side.
Sister-in-law Chai is squeezed by Chai's second sister-in-law on weekdays, not to mention, this time even juniors can talk about her, on the one hand, she feels that Chai Wen's child is not doing human things, so that she has no face, and she has lost her shortcomings in vain, on the other hand, she is angry after being ashamed, no matter how she is also an elder, it is not Chai Fangqing's turn to say.
"Fangqing, are you talking to the eldest lady?"
"Sister-in-law," although Chai's second sister-in-law said that she and her daughter had various fighting methods in the past few days, they were the same as outsiders at critical moments. "How old are you to be confused? Didn't Fangqing call you aunt? How many aunts do you have when she does?"
"Fangqing's words are not rough, Xing'er is still willing to take the child back for the New Year, it is enough to be benevolent and righteous, if it were me, even Bao'er's surname would have been changed. β
Chai's second sister-in-law is famous for her good tongue in Osmanthus Village, and Chai's sister-in-law is her opponent, and she blushes in the red face when she says a few words.
"This is our family's business, her second mother-"
"I can't write two words with one stroke, and my sister-in-law can tell it so clearly, I don't know what my father and mother think?" "My own son does something like that, and he also has the face to fight with others for his grandson......"
"You!"
Xing'er didn't want to entangle with Sister-in-law Chai, so she handed over an apologetic look to the concubine, and went to the Dongli House with the child in her arms. "I'll go talk to my grandparents and leave. β
"Apricot,"
Without waiting for Sister-in-law Chai to catch up, Mrs. Chai came out with a curtain, glanced around, and finally fell on Xing'er. "Let your fourth uncle take a car to send you. β
"Grandma, I have already booked a carriage, and I will come to pick me up in a while, so I won't have to run for Uncle Four. β
Mrs. Chai nodded, and after following Ami, she not only had the confidence to speak, but also handled things thoughtfully.
"It's rare for me to carry the child to my house, and it's not too late for you to pick up the child when the car comes. Here he took Xing'er back to the east house, and turned his head to glance at Sister-in-law Chai.
"You guys, all go back to rest, and let the old guys clean up the kitchen today. β
Aunt Chai let her mother-in-law slap her face like this, and her face was a little unbearable. "Mother......
"For the Chinese New Year, I don't want to say too much. You're also in your forties, and you've thought about it before you speak, and you've weighed whether you have a position to say it. Ah Wu is not young, it's time to decide, don't just think about Ah Wen, what your father said will always be counted in the Chai family. β
Mrs. Chai mentioned the expulsion of Chai Wen from the house again, and it was obvious that the old couple was ruthless and determined.
Even though Sister-in-law Chai was unwilling, it was Chai Wen who did something wrong, because this matter was not less poked in the backbone by the villagers, and she didn't dare not listen to Mrs. Chai's words, but the mother-son relationship between mother and son was broken.
The family reunion during the Chinese New Year, the entire Chai family is getting better and better under the leadership of the concubine, even the second brother of Chai is lazy and gluttonous, and the relationship with Chai and the second sister-in-law is like a day by day, and the sister-in-law of Chai herself has become the laughing stock of the entire osmanthus village, and the son has not even had a letter for a year and a half, as if she doesn't even want her biological father, and Sister-in-law Chai fell ill when she was depressed.
Sister-in-law Chai's illness made Chai's second sister-in-law angry, and the New Year was supposed to be more and more life, and Sister-in-law Chai was naturally bedridden when she was sick, and everything fell on her. The concubine is free, but she looks like a noble lady, and her fingers don't touch the spring water. The family is pointing to live under other people's hands, and Chai's second sister-in-law is not easy to have a seizure at this time.
"You must know that if you are sick, you can stop working, and I am also sick!" Chai's second sister-in-law said angrily, "My son is like that, and his face is sick." β
"Isn't it because my son is like that, that I am sick? If you are sick, you still need to have a face?" Chai Fangqing said that her old mother did not discuss.
Sister-in-law Chai on the kang in the nest: "......" She is sick, not deaf, the second brother and sister have always loved to chew the root of the tongue, Chai Fangqing can't take into account that she is an elder when she speaks?
"What, the New Year makes you more dissatisfied?" Mrs. Chai: "If you are not satisfied, you can bear it, after all, there are few things that satisfy you." β
Mrs. Chai said this......
The concubine stood in the courtyard, blowing a cold wind.
This is probably the New Year of the common people, not as lively and luxurious as in the previous life, drinking the most mellow wine, eating the freshest meat, looking at a prosperous beauty, singing and dancing.
The New Year in Osmanthus Village is full of trivialities, wrapped in the fragrance of earth, all inconspicuous but annoying trivialities.
This is the first year after the concubine's rebirth, and there is an indescribable feeling.
