As soon as it was the third day of junior high school, when you could go out to pay New Year's greetings, the Tang family began to give New Year's greetings to all the relatives and friends she knew, and she was busy looking for a daughter-in-law for the third child. The boys of the same age in Caijiazhuang caught Tang Laosan joking, and insisted on finding him a female donkey to match, so angry that Tang Laosan jumped to his feet and scolded!

The Cai family was busy looking for a date to set the day for the eldest sister to get married, sorting out the dowry, and waiting for the happy event.

The Bao family was even busier, and as soon as the second day of the Lunar New Year passed, they began to assign and dispatch, and went separately to invite the female relatives in the gatehouse. My aunt doesn't need to be invited at home, but my aunt has to go. It's good to be close, but if it's far away, it takes a day to go back and forth.

In the third year of junior high school, Bao Zhengrong's lobby sister Bao Zhengju returned to her parents' house with her man and the child. This is an indispensable etiquette, if she really doesn't want to come back according to Zhengju's temperament, she can be angry in her heart.

The year before last, Zhenghua and Zhengyin were suddenly picked up, and they didn't mention the two family affairs anymore. The people of those two families are also cheap, when their mother's family rushed to marry them, they were angry, and they want to be like this today and like that tomorrow. When their two younger sisters followed Zhengrong's younger brother away, they turned around and came to themselves and asked them to go back to their parents' house to discuss the marriage. It was only then that she learned that her two younger sisters followed Zhengrong out to find another family.

This time, my brother and sister came back too late, and she never had a chance to see her sister, and she didn't know if this family affair was done?

Let's be honest. She took her sister away silently from her mother's family, making her lose face at her mother-in-law's house, and she was quite unhappy with her parents and grandmothers. She had to keep her eyes open. What kind of good in-laws can Zhengrong find for Zhenghua and Zhengyin in such a distant place.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Bao family, who was having breakfast, saw that the eldest daughter's family came back to pay New Year's greetings, so she hurriedly stood up and greeted her, hugged her eldest grandson, who had just passed the first birthday, and greeted her daughter and son-in-law: "You haven't had breakfast yet!" We've just eaten, and you're going to take a bite along. ”

New Year's greetings are generally not eaten at home, but there are exceptions. For example, there is a sudden visit to the family to pay New Year's greetings; There are many animals in the house, and they are too busy in the morning; There are far roads, and it is too late to rush to the house for breakfast. Zhengju, she is not in these ranges. So her mother was sure that they had come without breakfast.

Zhengju and her man sat down at the table with the family members who stood up, and then they paid attention to the sitting mother's family. Seeing that Zhengqiang's two sons, two younger sisters, and father were all at home, after saying hello to grandma, he asked her father strangely: "Dad!" My mother wants to entertain people at home and can't leave. Why didn't you go to Grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings? ”

Her father smiled and said, "How can we have time to pay New Year's greetings now!" The day after tomorrow, I'm going to visit the gatehouse at your sister's target's house. We're going to visit some of your aunts' houses today and tomorrow to invite them. You have to go too, but we won't go to invite you, you will stay at home with your children for two days, and then go together the morning after tomorrow. ”

Zhengju didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and it was very unpleasant to be entangled. She pretended to be very happy and asked her two younger sisters, "Zhenghua and Zhengyin, you two really have a good relationship!" How is the male family? ”

Her mother interrupted, "Why are you asking the two of them for?" They can't say anything on their own. Both children are orphans. We don't know about the family conditions yet. Isn't that inviting us to go over and have a look? Won't we be able to see it clearly when we get there! ”

As soon as Zhengju heard the word orphan, he secretly rolled his eyes: Cut! I thought I had found what kind of fragrant dumplings! It turned out that he was an orphan, and he didn't even have a master, so where did he go to get a family business and come back? I really don't know what my father and mother think about Zhenghua and Zhengyin? Haven't you had enough of your poor days!?

Zhengju man felt very happy in his heart, it turned out that the two people in their Zhuangzi who wanted to marry Zhenghua and Zhengyin were actually his cousins in the next room. I dare not say how good the family conditions are, but they are more than a little better than the orphans who have nothing. originally thought that Zhengrong's wife and brother would find a partner with at least a better family background than his two cousins for the two sisters-in-law, but he was busy for many years, so he found two orphans. Hehe! Hehe!

In the afterglow of his eyes, Zhengrong saw the eldest sister pouting disdainfully, and the eldest brother-in-law with a sarcastic face, lowered his eyelids, didn't say anything, and continued to eat the rice cakes in his bowl.

In fact, what his eldest aunt said was also explained by him. He didn't want people to know that the conditions of Zhenghua and Zhengyin were too good, so as not to gossip about the two families of the eldest brother-in-law's family, saying that his sister was poor and loved rich. Although the conditions of these two future sisters-in-law are very good now, he didn't come for this at the beginning, but he couldn't stand that others looked down on his Bao family girl too lowly. It seems that the daughter of his Bao family can marry the eldest brother-in-law, and their family is how many lifetimes have been burned to be fragrant, he just wants everyone in the eldest brother-in-law's family to see, in addition to their family, the daughter of the Bao family can marry better.

Zhengju stopped talking, and the people of the Bao family didn't say anything anymore, breakfast was eaten quickly, and he was soon able to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wipe the table, and sweep the floor, ending the breakfast mode. The eldest daughter-in-law was busy cooking lunch, and Bao Boss, Bao Zhengqiang, and Bao Zhengrong went separately to invite their aunt and Sister Cai. After Bao Zhengrong went to Cai's house and officially invited Cai's eldest sister, he hurried to the county to hire two carriages, and only came back with people and cars the next afternoon.

On the evening of the fourth day of the new year, all the ladies who should visit the gatehouse came, and the eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and little aunt all brought a four- or five-year-old grandson or a five- or six-year-old son. The eldest sister Zhengju's child is only a little more than a year old, and she can't leave her mother, so she also has to take it. Little Piggy saw that so many children were going, and he was also holding his mother, so he had to follow him no matter what. In the end, in order to make up an even number, Bao Zhengni was also piggybacked.

The women and children of the Bao family were in high spirits at the beginning, and they had not yet reached this destination at the end. The eldest sister Bao Zhengju is very annoying at home because of the child's crying from time to time, wetting pants from time to time, changing diapers and pants, not to mention that it is inconvenient everywhere on the road now. I became more and more irritable, so I yelled at Bao Zhengrong, who was sitting with the driver outside: "How long will it take to arrive?" If I knew it was so far away, I wouldn't have followed! It's true, it's so far to find an in-law's house, and it's not so harmful to harm people! ”

Without waiting for Bao Zhengrong to reply, the coachman replied in a loud voice: "Don't worry, big sister, this is here, I will definitely be able to get to Fucheng before dark today." The land you are going to is a well-known rich land near and far, you look at the people on both sides of the road, are there many brick houses and few mud houses?! When I arrived at Hepu Town, there were no thatched houses in a radius of dozens of miles, all of them were brick houses, and some people were two-story buildings! ”

Bao Zhengju was in a bad mood, so he pulled his face and muttered at the moment: "I don't have a score to brag, even if a family or two families have money and should be able to afford to build a brick house, can every family have money?" I thought the money was blown by the wind! Cut! ”

Several people in the car had the same thoughts as Bao Zhengju, but they were embarrassed to say it, so they just staggered with bitter faces as the carriage swayed.

After all, the coachman is hired for a long time, short and long distances all year round, this road is familiar, he said that he can get to Fucheng before dark, and they really arrived when the sun went down.

As soon as they arrived in Fucheng, they found a famous hot pot restaurant in Fucheng, and the shopkeeper Liao personally came forward to settle them one by one, and asked the coachman to go back first, and there will be a car from the Wang family in the future.

Bao Zhengrong's aunt saw that Bao Zhengrong had given the coachman five taels of silver, and her distressed cheeks cramped. As soon as Bao Zhengrong turned around and saw the eldest uncle, he knew that he was distressed about the silver, so he said with a smile: "Don't feel distressed, the money for the car and the expenses on the road were given to me by your two future sons-in-law in advance." Their net worth is nothing to spend this little money, you can rest assured! ”

The place arranged by the general manager of the Wang family is different, even if Zhengrong said that all he wanted was a room, but the house of the inn was a world compared to here.

Steward Liao arranged for them to be the Wang family's own business restaurant, which was specially used to receive their own guests or customers who came to negotiate business, and was not open to the public. Therefore, the scale of the restaurant is not large, but the facilities are the most advanced equipment that the Wang family can do at present. There is a bathhouse with a greenhouse, a cafeteria with three meals a day, a laundry room for cleaning clothes, etc., and the guest rooms are equipped with private toilets, solar water heaters, washing and other hardware facilities, as well as daily necessities. The supporting facilities are advanced, and of course, the management is relatively strict. The people who can enter here for reception are all people who are close to the Wang family, basically people from Liujialing and Luojiazhuang.

They heard that the female family came to visit the gatehouse, and the service was more considerate. I specially found a mother-in-law who washed vegetables and dishes in the canteen to help these ladies learn to use various facilities. I also took out all the clothes that I had prepared for them to change when they came, but fortunately there were enough preparations, except for the children, the adults all changed from the inside out, from top to bottom.

The women who took their children in the hot bath were so sleepy that they wanted to sleep before they had eaten dinner. Especially the eldest aunt and Bao Zhengrong's eldest aunt who were sitting in the car, and Bao Zhengrong's aunt, who were elderly, couldn't struggle when they lay down on the bed.

Bao Zhengrong had to be like a little girl, delivering food room by room, serving these aunts and grandmothers well, before he took a hot bath and lay down on the bed and slept until dawn.

They washed up, hurriedly ate a bite in the restaurant, and ran to the door in a panic, because the Wang family's carriage had been waiting for a long time.

The shopkeeper Liao was standing at the door of the lobby and talking to the steward of the restaurant, and when he saw the child being dragged by the adults and stumbling and crawling along, he hurriedly said loudly: "Don't worry! No hurry! Otherwise, you will be home in a while, walk slowly, and don't drag the child down. ”

Not far from the northeast of Hepu Town, there is an official road that leads directly to the Dajiang Wharf, and the two Ya produce cement, stone, wages and three meals a day for workers, and the government sends people. For the first time, the government and the people cooperated to widen and build the original potholed gravel road into a large cement road where four horse-drawn carriages could run in parallel. Now from Fucheng to Hepu Town, one hour is enough. Therefore, Steward Liao is really not in a hurry at all, besides, Hepu Town has already sent a message yesterday, and it is estimated that everything for the reception has already been prepared at this time, so there is really no need to worry.
