When he arrived at the old mansion, Old Man Xia was talking to Xia Chengping with a smile, his wrinkled face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and his demeanor was even a little flattering.

Xia Chengping on the side looked high, although he spoke respectfully to Old Man Xia, his expression was obviously different from the past, and that bit of arrogance could be seen by everyone.

Eleven Niang glanced at it disdainfully, and then didn't look at it a second time.

Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang put their things on the kang and kowtowed to their families, "Father, mother, my son took his daughter-in-law and child to kowtow to the second elder." ”

"Father, mother, the son took his daughter-in-law and children to kowtow to the second elder for the New Year."

The brothers said exactly the same.

Old Man Xia smiled and let them get up with a rare good mood, but Old Mrs. Qiao hummed and chirped on the side, "I didn't break up my family for the New Year, so I didn't know how to come back and help my family do work......"

Zhao's face immediately sank.

Huang also snorted.

Xia Hongxia was busy pulling Old Lady Qiao's clothes.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao offended her eldest daughter-in-law, she hurriedly remedied, she first glared at Li viciously, and then said sharply, "You still pretend to be deaf with me, and you are talking about your ......"

A large number fell, except that because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, she didn't dare to say dirty words to offend the gods, what words were ugly to pick up what to say.

Xia Chengxiang protected the Li family behind him and looked at Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is pregnant with your grandson, I haven't been able to eat and sleep well in the past few months......"

"Pregnant?" Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned, and her eyes glanced at Li.

Xia Chengxiang saw that the old lady was not angry, so he touched his head with a smile, "Xiao Chinese New Year's Eve was just three months old that day, thinking that he would send a letter to his father and mother on the second day, and I feel that I am more happy today......"

Old Mrs. Qiao stopped saying unpleasant words, and even had a little smile on her face, "Okay! Good! It's a good birth! Come and let me touch it, but don't be like some people, who don't take a handle with it...... It's useless to be able to live again......"

Xia Chenghe's hand immediately held his wife's, Luo smiled at him, and Xia Chenghe was relieved.

Li was a little disgusted with the old lady's style, but in the end, it was her father-in-law's mother-in-law, the grandmother of the child in her belly, so she walked behind Xia Chengxiang, and Mrs. Ren Qiao's hand rubbed on her stomach for a while, until she felt pain, she couldn't help but moan, Mrs. Qiao let go of her hand, and glanced at her, "Look at your delicate body, I can't scream pain before I make any effort, what can I do if I have a child in the future?" ”

"What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law must pay attention to it in the future." Lee bowed down.

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at the Li family very proudly, and what else to say, Old Man Xia had already spoken, "Okay, you have to go to the mountain to worship the ancestors, you and a few daughters-in-law go to prepare things, let's go and tell the ancestors, our old Xia family is also a famous family." ”

In the end, a face full of smiles, and even a good-natured beckoning to Xia Chenghe, "Third child, you take your daughter-in-law to your uncle's house, and ask him and his sister-in-law to go to the mountain to worship their ancestors, just say, our second room is waiting for them there." ”

Xia Chenghe frowned slightly, "Daddy......"

is so blatant to show off and block the uncle, or after Yao Niang was separated by the eldest brother and sister-in-law......

Xia Chenghe wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Xia Chengping smiled weirdly, "What? The third child, I won the show, you don't seem to be happy? ”

With just one sentence, Old Man Xia's face turned cloudy, and he looked at Xia Chenghe's gaze with a little unkindness.

Xia Chenghe was stunned, glanced at Xia Chengping's gloomy face, and showed a wry smile. Luo Che gently tugged at his clothes behind him, and Xia Chenghe turned around and gave Roche a soothing smile.

Looking at Xia Chengping again, his face was already indifferent, "The eldest brother can be admitted to Xiucai with his own ability, because he has the blessing of our ancestors of the old Xia family, and it is the blessing of our old Xia family, I am happy for my ancestors, happy for my father!" ”

Old Man Xia's face suddenly cleared, and he nodded with a smile.

Eleven Niang almost didn't laugh, who said that her father was elm pimple? That's a very good level! Dafang is blessed by the ancestors by virtue of his ability, not by his ability, and naturally he can't get along with his ancestors, what do you have to do?

Xia Chengping's face became more and more gloomy, and when Xia Chenghe's words fell, he laughed strangely again, "I also drag the blessing of the third brother, go and help invite the uncle's family to the ancestral grave, and the eldest brother can tell Uncle Sù the good news in front of the ancestor......"

Old Man Xia nodded.

Xia Chenghe really didn't want to go.

Eleven Niang thought about it for a while, and then went to pull Xia Chenghe's clothes, "Dad, I'll go with you, Sister Yao's family affairs were ruined by that shameless person, it must be very sad, I'll go and persuade Sister Yao." However, in previous years, at this time, the uncle and they were going to set off for the back mountain, if we were two steps slower, maybe they would have finished worshipping their ancestors......"

Before Eleven Niang's words were finished, three groups of people sat up on the kang immediately.

Zhao raised his hand and pointed at Eleven Niang and scolded, "Xia Shiyi, who do you say is shameless?" Do you have a little tutoring? Your father and mother have been teaching you to slander your elders like this all day long......"

Old Man Xia glared at Mrs. Qiao with sideways eyes, "Why don't you see what time it is?" Stuff isn't ready early? What have you been doing all day? ”

Xia Chengping looked at Xia Chenghe with pity, and said with a smile, "The third child really taught a good girl, and adults talk and girls talk......"

Seeing that a group of people were targeting their husbands and daughters, Luo Shi's temper that had been pampered by Xia Chenghe for a year and a half broke out, and he took two steps forward to protect Eleven Niang behind him, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with Xia Chenghe, and glanced at Zhao coldly, "What did sister-in-law say?" My daughter is just fighting for Yao Niang, and a good family affair was ruined by a shameless thing, which affected a group of daughters of our Lao Xia family! How? Is this person the sister-in-law herself? ”

Zhao's eyes were about to pop out, "You...... You dare to scold me...

You...... How dare you scold me for doing ......?"

Luo Shi looked at the Zhao family from top to bottom, pretended to be surprised, and said, "It turns out that this person who ruined Yao Niang's family affairs is really a sister-in-law?!" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but shout for Luo's drums, Luo's move was all blood and all blue, and he directly opened the big move!

Scolding Zhao like this, I'm afraid it's the first time!

Looking at Zhao's already angry red eyes, trembling lips and trembling hands pointing at Luo, it can be seen how ruthless the anger is!

Xia Chengping glared at Zhao, a person who usually walks around the Xiucai lady every day, can't even say that Luo, who doesn't go out all day, what a waste!

He opened his mouth to point at Sang and scold Huai Luo's family a few words, but when he heard Xia Chengle chuckling on the side, he couldn't help but shoot with a cold look.

Xia Chengle hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Oh, big brother, I said a long time ago that my sister-in-law is not doing this authentically." ”

Xia Chengping's gaze was a little cannibalistic, but Xia Chengle didn't care, still grinning, "Although Yao Niang is the granddaughter of the uncle, in the eyes of outsiders, it is also the niece and granddaughter of our old Xia family...... I can't say it, even these girls in our family will be criticized...... There are so many daughters in the third brother's family, it is already good that the third sister-in-law does not work hard with the eldest sister-in-law! ”

As he spoke, he winked at Xia Chenghe and Roche.

Xia Cheng was speechless, he had long known that after the incident in prison, the fourth child must have hated their big house, but he didn't expect the fourth child's heart to be so big!

Since he became a talented master, the fourth child has changed his method to collect the money sent by other people's families, deceived and concealed it, and took his words as a deaf ear!

At this time, he openly squeezed his eyebrows with Sanfang and helped them step on their big house?!

Xia Chengle, tearing his face off and trampling on the ground is even more hateful than a three-room couple!

Xia Chengle's afterglow glanced at Xia Chengping, his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride, as if he wanted to be angry with Xia Chengping, and when he saw that Xia Chengping was unhappy, he was happy.

Old Man Xia glared at Xia Chengle, Xia Chengle raised his eyebrows and grinned, "Dad, why are you looking at me like this?" If you don't move again, the uncle will worship the ancestors for a while, and you and the eldest brother won't be able to show off, so let's go? ”

Old man Xia was also blocked, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, where would Xia Chengle put it in his eyes, he walked to Xia Chengxiang's side with his feet, put his arm around him, laughed and dragged Xia Chengxiang out of the main room, and pulled Xia Chenghe out of the door, and the voice came, "Old Five, you really have you, don't delay at all...... If your daughter-in-law has a boy, the fourth brother will give your son a gold collar......"

Xia Chenghe looked back at Luo Che, and Luo Che nodded at him.

Xia Chengxiang also looked back at Li, looking very worried.

Luo smiled and went over to help Li, "Brother and sister, their men are going to worship their ancestors, let's go outside for a walk, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the familiar road first, and you and the fifth uncle will also recognize the road when you and the fifth uncle go to pay New Year's greetings in a while." Father, mother, let's go first. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Li family, where did the Li family not understand, and hurriedly followed the Luo family to nod to the old man Xia and the old lady Qiao, "Dad, mother, let's go first." ”

Without waiting for the ugly-faced Old Man Xia to talk to Mrs. Qiao, the two of them left in a hurry, and several sisters also followed obediently with their heads down.

It wasn't until she got out of the old mansion and arrived at the courtyard of the Li family that Banniang exhaled a breath viciously, smoothed her chest, and after laughing twice, she hugged Luo's arm, "Mother, you are really amazing today!" I can't even speak when I crush my aunt, haha......"

Erniang and Sanniang couldn't help laughing, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Xiao Twelve also blinked and smiled, looking at Luo with a look of adoration, "Mother, amazing!" ”

Roche was a little proud on his face, looking at his daughter's smiling face, he also smiled.

The old lady and daughter-in-law of the Li family looked at a few people and smirked inexplicably, or Eleven Niang smiled and told what happened, and the old lady of the Li family patted the kang and said, "Yes!" Good scolding! This is a person who is a showman who practices the big house like this, and he should be frustrated with his spirit! ”

Li was surprised by the close relationship between Sanfang and the Li family, thinking that when he first came, Sanfang drove the carriage directly into the Li family, and estimated the Li family in his heart, whether he had met Xia Chengxiang in the end, and he didn't say anything, just laughed on the side.

It didn't take long for Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang to come back together, both with smiles on their faces.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Xia Chengxiang spoke, "I went early with the third and fourth brothers, and I met the uncle worshipping the ancestors...... My father's little thought that his old man already knew, and without even saying a word, he went home from the other side. When my father and my eldest brother came up, my uncle was at the foot of the mountain......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but grin.

Xia Chenghe also had a smile on his face.

The old lady of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again, "Your uncle is an understanding person, and he has done his best to your father, you remember your uncle's goodness, your uncle only got a male inheritance, what will happen in the future, you will not waste your cousin's affection when you look at the helper." ”

Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang immediately turned into color, Xia Chenghe said, "What you said is that the eldest brother treats us well, and we should be grateful even if we are fools!" ”

The old lady of the Li family belched and waved her hand at a few people, "I think you have a lot to say to your uncle and eldest brother, I won't leave you to eat at home this year, finish early, and go to your uncle's house early." ”

The brothers smiled and walked out of Li's house and walked towards the village.

I went to the village chief's house and Lizheng's house, and talked for a while, and the words revealed that your big house was in power, reminding them to forget the favor in the village.

Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang had to smile bitterly.

If you go to the other houses, they are all the same, and the brothers will ask the big house to help them find a quiet job.

The brothers almost fled to the old man of the Xia family.

The old man of the Xia family was really angry, see

ruthlessly, seeing Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang coming in, he sighed, "My body and bones are not fully alive, Chengye, you take them to talk elsewhere." ”

I didn't want to talk to them more.

Xia Chenghe wanted to say something, but Xia Chengye grabbed him, pulled him out of the room, and said in a low voice, "My father's breath hasn't gone down yet, let's go somewhere else first." ”

In the main house, the Luo family and the Li family are comforting the Fang family and the old lady of the Xia family, they can't enter; The old man in the side room was angry. The brothers glanced at each other, Xia Chengye smiled bitterly, and took Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang to his bedroom with the Fang family.

The small room was stuffed with a lot of things, and the kang was separated by a small cabinet, and on one side there were the things of Xia Chengye and his wife, and on the other side it seemed to be the things of the two sons.

On the other side, the boxes and cages piled up are obviously dowries prepared for Yao Niang.

Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang glanced at each other, and both of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Big brother, we heard about Yao Niang......" Xia Chenghe hesitated for a while, but he still opened his mouth, but he didn't want to finish a sentence, Xia Chengye raised his hand to stop his words, but he didn't make a sound, covered his face with one hand, and turned away.

In the middle of the sound, he wiped his face, turned around and squeezed out a smile at the two of them, and his eyes were clearly red in the dim light.

"Big brother...... Sorry ......"

Xia Chengye waved his hand, "What does it have to do with you!" It's not a while since your father and Xia Chengping didn't like our family, but I didn't expect ......"

His voice tinged with mockery, "...... It's just that they didn't expect that they would ruin Yao Niang's family affairs with such a mind! What does it mean for my daughter's family to be dismissed? How will Yao Niang find her in-laws in the future? They don't care in the slightest! Dad was cold in his heart, as if something, when the news of Xia Chengping's Xiucai first came, my father happily called my mother to take out the silk and satin embellishment he had made many years ago and said that he would wear it on the day of the celebration banquet and take your father and Xia Chengping to kowtow to the ancestors, but who knows......"

He looked up at the slightly flickering light in the side room, and his throat choked, "My father has been waiting at home for a whole day, but the news that is waiting for is that your father has taken Xia Chengping to worship his ancestors!" My dad locked himself in the house and said something to my mother over and over again......"

Xia Chengye lowered his head, looked up at Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang violently, smiled lightly, his smile was complicated, and his expression was obscure, "He said: The second child hates me so much?" ”

Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang's faces changed greatly, and they glanced at each other, but no one dared to say anything.

Xia Chengye didn't seem to wait for the two of them to speak at all, and then let out a long sigh, "If it is said that ancestor worship is a fuse, then this matter of Yao Niang is undoubtedly your father and your eldest brother declaring war on our big house." My dad was seriously ill, and his heart is still blocked...... The third and fifth children, you will come from other homes in the future, lest Xia Chengping even bring you with him, and he will have nothing to worry about, and the children will be affected......"

Xia Chengye covered his face again, and his Adam's apple squirmed.

Xia Chenghe was silent.

Xia Chengxiang looked at Xia Chengye, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

After a long time, Xia Chenghe sighed softly, "Big brother, I don't care what others do, I only know that our family has been thanks to you and your uncle's secret help for so many years, the food that the eldest brother is reluctant to eat, the new clothes that the sister-in-law has not yet worn, the money for the niece to buy the dowry, the uncle, the aunt, the eldest brother and the sister-in-law, they have not avoided our family, and now, we have absolutely no reason to avoid you!" ”

Xia Chengye looked at him with red eyes, "What are you talking about?" It's the same here as it was then......"

"I don't care! Anyway, we've long since split up! Xia Chenghe said very shamefully, with a smile on his face, "Without the clothes and food given by the eldest brother's family, our family may freeze to death and starve to death, how can we live a good life now." ”

Xia Chengye was angry and funny, and the sad atmosphere eased a lot, pointing at Xia Chenghe and scolding, "You are playing a scoundrel with me......"

Xia Chenghe smiled.

Xia Chengye looked at Xia Chenghe, his eyes were full of his brother's helplessness for his naughty brother.

Xia Chengxiang came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Big brother, my father is confused, my third brother and I are still sober, it is their business what he wants to do with my eldest brother, and I and the third brother will live in the town for a lot of time in the future, and we will not have much to do with the old house, so we will not be at their mercy." You don't have to worry about us......"

Xia Chengye patted the shoulders of the two, and his face was a little moved.

After a few more gossips, the main house shouted for dinner, Xia Chengye happily took Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang to the main house, and then went to the side room to talk to the old man of the Xia family for a long time, and the old man looked much better when he came out to eat.

After sending off the two families, Fang and Xia Chengye whispered in the house, "The third brother and sister promised me that they would go back and find a good family for Yao Niang, but I didn't dare to respond, you see ......"

"Yes, Lu Yao's knowledge of horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, we haven't looked away, the third family is good!" Xia Chengye said with a smile to his wife.

Fang Shi smiled, "Nacheng, I'll go to the Li family, pay a New Year's greeting to the Li family's aunt, and talk to the third brother and sister by the way." ”
