After the flood, the river is in shambles, but Luofang Village is still an idyllic scenery, with verdant rice fields, fence walls covered with melon vines, more than a dozen mud houses with green tiles dotted among the green mountains and green waters, and the occasional rooster and dog barking add to the tranquility of the mountain village.

"Brother Jiaming, that's my eldest uncle's family, that's my second uncle's family, that's my family. ”

Li Jiaming, who had changed into clean clothes at the entrance of the village, walked up the field path with a bicycle full of gifts, looked at the three mud houses with smoke curling down, and resolutely walked to the dilapidated house on the right.

Zhang Qi, who was close to Li Jiaming's brother and sister, immediately laughed, but her brother hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother Jiaming, my uncle is over there." ”

"I know, your mother-in-law lives in your house, and she should be cooking now, right?"

"Hmm"

That's right, how can there be a reason to go to see your aunt's brother first, and then go to see her mother?

"Me"

Hey, this kid is poor and afraid, probably he wants to touch his uncle's light and save a firecracker money; or maybe he has no money at all; the most likely is that their family can't even afford firecrackers for the New Year, and when his brother arrives at the door, he remembers that he wants to set off firecrackers to greet the distinguished guests.

Now there is no need for Li Jiaming to give a look, Mao Tong, who is following behind, took out a few firecrackers from the big bag in front of the bicycle and handed them over, jokingly: "Hurry up, don't blow up your hands." ”

"Hey", the two siblings hurriedly took the firecrackers and quickly ran to their dilapidated mud house.

While the two brothers and sisters went to prepare, Li Jiaming and the others also tidied up the clothes, hair and shoes on their bodies, although it is inevitable that the road is not easy to walk, mud stains and the like, but the basic etiquette is also required, you can't be sloppy to report the good news, right?

There was a burst of firecrackers, and the Li Jiaming brothers pushed their bicycles and walked into the sun-grain flat of Zhang Renhe's house.

"Good mother-in-law, good uncle"

In the countryside, there is a sense of mourning, but there is nothing particular about the good news, and the picture is a festive and lively. However, the two brothers put up their clean bicycles and bowed slightly to the elders respectfully as a sign of politeness.

Li Jiaming's reputation is very great, he belongs to the legendary people of Chongxiang, and the Zhang Xiangsong brothers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said politely: "Jiaming, please here."

"Thank you, mother-in-law, congratulations on adding a niece, six pounds and seven taels, mother and son are safe and ......"

After reporting the good news, Li Jiaming, who was full of smiles, took the gift handed over by Mao Tong and respectfully handed it to his mother-in-law who was still wearing an apron. There are a lot of gifts, red eggs, meat, sugar, milk powder, biscuits, and a brand new stack of clothes.

"Mother-in-law, this dress was made for you by your aunt, and these foods are Wenwen's filial piety to you, I wish you a long and healthy life. ”

The mother-in-law, who was hunched on her back, smiled from ear to ear, and said vigorously: "You're polite, okay with the little man (baby)?"

"Good, white chubby".

The two talked festively for a while, and then the Li Jiaming brothers followed Zhang Xiangsong to the next door to report the good news, and each family sent gifts, but there were no clothes, milk powder, and biscuits. This also made the families very happy, especially the nine catties of fat meat and nine catties of brown sugar, which is already a heavy gift in the difficult countryside.

After reporting the good news to each household, Zhang Xiangsong's family remade the table with the meat sent by the guests, including meat, eggs, vegetables, etc., and looked polite, and the Li Jiaming brothers also sat down for the first time in their lives. This is the etiquette in the countryside, even if there are aunts' mothers, uncles, and brothers at the table, they have to sit on the top of the Eight Immortals Table on behalf of the Li family to report the good news.

"Uncle, don't pour wine, we won't drink it. Don't look at him as tall, in fact, he is only in the first year of junior high school. ”

Zhang Xiangfeng's uncle, who was accompanying the guests, was stunned and exclaimed: "Ah?

Exercising hard and well-nourished, Mao Tong does grow fast, faster than in his previous life, only sixteen and a half years old at 1.75 meters, sitting at the table half a head taller than everyone else.

"Hehe, I'm not that tall yet. There is an even longer one in our family, and the fourth grade has grown to 1.7 meters. ”

Teacher Zhang, who was also brought in to accompany the guests, was not as polite as his cousins, and while greeting the guests to eat, he supported this tall student to help him with his work.

"The people of your Li family are all tall, not like us Luofang people, few of them are tall. Come, don't drink alcohol, eat more. Jiahu, it's just right that you're here, wait for the teacher to change a few tiles, just put a stool on the table, and save yourself from moving the stairs. ”

"Hey"

"Thank you, uncle, we came by ourselves, we came by ourselves".

Everyone was eating, talking, laughing, and laughing, Li Jiaming was enthusiastic, and Mao Tong was also very decent, which made the adults present even more amazed.

The Li family in Yinzitan is very good, the adults are doing business well, and the children and grandchildren are all competing, especially the two brothers Li Jiade and Li Jiaming, who are recognized geniuses, and their Li family can't prosper if they don't want to.

Sister Feng is blessed, she is really blessed to be able to marry such a family!

After everyone finished eating, they sat in the cool hall to drink tea and chat, Mao Yan went to work at the teacher's place, and Li Jiaming also reversed his usual calmness, cheered up and talked (chatted) with these adults, chatting from all over the world, from the past to the present, and the depth of knowledge made them amazed.

The reading girls and girls in the village heard that Li Jiaming's brothers had come to report the good news, and they also came over to join in the fun. Looking at the men who usually don't come to play, they all respect Li Jiaming's brothers very much, and Zhang Xianggui's brothers feel even more face-saving, and their waists are much straighter than usual.

Early summer was the time when the farm was busy, and when we talked until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiaming found an opportunity to ask, "Hey, where is my mother-in-law?"

"Oh, she's going next door. ”

"Uncle Zhang, we are here this time, in addition to reporting the good news and inviting you to eat full moon wine, I also want to ask my mother-in-law to help take care of my aunt. You also know that several of our uncles are working in the same ancient times, and the aunts are busy in the fields, and there is really no manpower to take care of the aunt, you see?"

Li Jiaming's request is not polite, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away a long time ago, and his father is opening a factory outside, so it is indeed a little inconvenient to let his aunt take care of his younger siblings for confinement.

Zhang Xiangsong, who was not tall, hurriedly got up and promised: "If you want it, this is a serious matter, I'll go tell my mother." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiangsong, who usually doesn't enter the second brother's house, went to the broken mud house next door. There are guests here, and he doesn't want his family to be ugly, so he always has to pretend to be on his face.

The mother-in-law, who was sorting out the gifts next door, also heard Zhang Qi's more exaggerated statement, knowing that her daughter had no one to take care of her confinement, and was thinking about going to the street. Now that he listened to the advice of his eldest son, he hurriedly picked up a few pieces of clothes and prepared to go with Li Jiaming and them to take care of his daughter for confinement.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was taking old clothes again, Zhang Qi, who had been instructed by Li Jiaming, hurriedly persuaded: "Mother-in-law, bring these good clothes." Aunts and sisters live on the street, they have to save face, and if you don't dress well, others will gossip. ”

"Well, it's still sensible in chess"

The mother-in-law thought for a while, and hurriedly took out the old clothes, put the two sets of new clothes she had just received in an old woven bag, and Zhang Qi hurriedly took out her aunt's old travel bag from the cabinet.

"Mother-in-law, don't use urea bags, just use aunt's bags. ”

"It's not good, it's not good, this bag is very expensive, and it's still reserved for going out to study in the future. ”

Zhang Xiangsong next to him was a little impatient, and his mother was too partial, and Chunchun didn't know that there was only such a bag at home when she went to work.

"Mom, just use this bag, you don't want to lose face, and Sister Feng doesn't want to lose face?

"Yes", the mother-in-law carefully packed the clothes into this cheap travel bag, she didn't know that these two new sets of clothes were worth more than a dozen of these low-grade travel bags.

"Mom, if you go here for a long time, will these things be broken?"

The mother-in-law is a confused mother-in-law, listening to her son's reminder, she hurriedly divided the milk powder, sugar, and biscuits into three, and explained: "Qiqi, listen to my brother in the house, don't run around, you know?"

"Hmm"

Zhang Qi, who looked much better than last year, agreed, and hurriedly put a piece of milk powder, sugar, and biscuits into his mother-in-law's cabinet, and said sensibly: "Mother-in-law, stay at your aunt's house for a few more days, and help your aunt bring more sisters." Jiaming's brother has no parents-in-law, and he usually has to supervise Wenwen and her studies, so he has no time to take care of his aunt. ”

"Well, it's still sensible in chess. Those things, Moliu, you eat them with your brother, do you know?"

"No, this is what Brother Jiaming bought for his mother-in-law. ”

Children always like to make a small report to their teachers or parents, and Zhang Qi is no exception, and when she goes to see her mother-in-law at Li Jiaming's on Sunday, she also makes a small report to her aunt.

Hey, the eldest brother didn't let go of the food given to his mother, what should I do?
