The uncle joked to the old woman on the side: "Okay! I really don't know when the two of you became looks. Such a small baby, he doesn't know how to call when he twists his ears, and you can all see what happened to him? A bit of a skill! ”

The second uncle also made fun on the side: "Big brother! My sister-in-law said that I can't guarantee whether this child is promising, but I see that this child has a broad face, but he is blessed. ”

Erya added firewood to the simple stove next to her, and after listening to the words of the second uncle, she remembered the sketches she had watched before. With a big head and a thick neck, he is either a boss or a man, so he also smiled and asked: "Second uncle!" I think those guys have big and wide faces, are they blessed? ”

Without waiting for the second uncle to reply, the uncle rushed to say, "Why is the guy not blessed?" People don't have to eat hungry, but they all eat with their mouths full of oil, is it a blessing?! ”

Erya was speechless, it turned out that no matter what the family background was, in the eyes of the uncle, they still focused on eating, and only eating well was a blessing. This reminds Erya of what her grandmother often says: contentment is bliss! The blessings in everyone's heart are different, and only by being content can we truly enjoy each kind of blessing that befalls us.

What the second uncle wanted to say was robbed by his eldest brother, so he stopped following the words, turned around and asked the second one: "Nephew and daughter-in-law!" Did Xiaohu say that he wanted us to wait for him when he went over there? ”

"That's not true! However, it can be solved in five days at most, and he can quickly catch up with us when we stop all the way, and it will be the same whether we wait or not. Erya thought that Xiaohu was riding a horse alone, unlike their adults and children who dragged a long way.

This is the scene of talking. Over there, the eldest aunt and the second aunt have already done everything to feed the baby and change the diaper. The second aunt coaxed the baby to sleep, and the eldest aunt came over to help the second girl turn over the meat burning in the pot with a spatula, so as not to paste the bottom of the pot.

Erya's meal here is ready. Calling the children to come over for dinner, it's a pity that the children want to eat the chicken and fish they made more than they want. Erya didn't force them, a few adults ate first, and they waited for the mud balls.

Before noon the next day, they rushed to Yuzhou Mansion, and Anzi's family also greeted them at the gate of the city from afar, Anzi's daughter-in-law was holding one in her arms, and there was a little boy of four or five years old standing next to her. The little hand tightly tugged at the hem of Anzi's daughter-in-law's clothes, and her eyes were bright and curious to look at the many carriages in front of her.

The eldest aunt got out of the carriage and grabbed before the second aunt, and hugged Anzi's eldest son Mingjing and kissed him enough. was so frightened that Mingjing's eyes were full of tears, and he struggled in the arms of his grandmother. The second aunt saw that her grandson was frightened by her sister-in-law, and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue her. Stretched out his hand and hugged Mingjing from under his sister-in-law, and happily asked his grandson: "Jingjing!" Do you remember grandma? ”

Mingjing nodded obediently. "Remember! Grandma gave Jing Jing a lot of toffee during the Chinese New Year! ”

The eldest aunt teased Ming Jing in the back: "Jing Jing." Grandma gives you a lot of delicious food, and you only remember your grandma, not grandma. Grandma is so sad! Then he pretended to cry so sadly, Mingjing was small, he took it seriously, looked at the grandmother nervously, and shouted in his mouth: "Grandma! Jing Jing remembered the big grandmother, and the big grandmother gave Jing Jing a red envelope. There are a lot of silver peanuts in the red envelope. ”

The eldest grandmother was happy and wanted to kiss Mingjing, but Mingjing was so frightened that she quickly buried her face in her grandmother's arms. Anzi saw that there were already many onlookers next to him. Quickly persuade everyone to go back to the car and go home with him to talk again.

The place where Anzi lives now is a small courtyard given by the government, just behind the official office. It is said that the small courtyard is actually not small, and there are quite a lot of houses, probably considering that the Tongzhi family has a lot of slaves and maids to live in!

Anzi's daughter-in-law is also an official woman, surnamed Jiang, and is the daughter of the former Tongzhi who was introduced by the current prefect when Anzi was a county magistrate in the county below the state capital. The temperament is relatively mild.,Very bookish.。 Speaking slowly and softly, smiling without showing teeth, walking without moving his shoulders and waist without twisting, Er Ya watched for a long time and finally identified that this is a standard lady's demeanor.

Fortunately, Anzi's daughter-in-law is not the kind of person who puts herself in a tall position, and she also took Mingjing back during the Chinese New Year before, although everyone is not very familiar with each other, but they are not strangers. When we meet again now, it doesn't take much longer, and we have a good conversation.

When she saw her second sister-in-law personally busy exposing the children's clothes, she couldn't help but sigh while helping to pick them up: "Second sister-in-law! I really admire you, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it, I could pay for someone else to do this, as much as I could, but let me do it myself, I can't! But I see that you have the ability to buy slaves and maids to help you do these things, so why don't you buy them? You're not short of money! Besides, I said let the two people around me come over and do it for you, and you don't want to, I really can't figure out what you think! ”

Erya replied while busy: "I haven't done anything here, don't you tell people to do most things." I just took out the children's clothes to dry and weather, and at night they were more comfortable to wear after the shower. As for the slave and maid you mentioned! To be honest, we are all not used to it, we always feel that we can do something by ourselves, and there is really nothing for others to do, which is different from the one you have been using since you were a child. ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law naturally knew the previous days of her mother-in-law's family, and it would not be a few years since she lived well, and if she suddenly made a slave, they would indeed not be so easy to accept. smiled and nodded: "Second sister-in-law!" I know, otherwise how could I not understand you and yet admire you! There are many people who don't know how to go to the east and west as soon as they have money. Wearing gold and silver, the first-class slaves and maids behind him followed. And over the years, you have still lived your life as before, and you don't have the temperament to show off when you have no money. ”

"Huh!" Erya had to smile perfunctorily, this world is not a world where rich is the boss, she doesn't dare to be arrogant if she is rich, she still has this reason.

The two of them were talking while doing things, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt also came over with the baby in their arms.

"You two are drying your clothes! The third daughter-in-law, can someone cook lunch? ”

"Mother! Rest assured! I had already ordered it before you arrived, otherwise I wouldn't be able to chat with my second sister-in-law here. ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law looked at the baby in the arms of her mother-in-law and eldest uncle, and couldn't help asking, "At your age, you are not afraid of being tired when you hold a child?" ”

The eldest aunt held the baby and shook it from side to side, while saying: "That is, I think that the child's black beanie's eyes look at you, so distressing!" We'll pick it up and spin it around, and then put it back to put them to sleep. Ay! Don't say it, I'm not very old, I've just hugged me for a while, and my waist is sore and uncomfortable. ”

The second aunt said, "Sister-in-law! I don't think I'm full of energy right now. I can't take the grandsons of the second and third families with me, and I can be proud of these little guys. ”

As soon as Anzi's daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law say this, she thought that her mother-in-law had an opinion about her not serving her parents at home, and immediately her face turned pale, and the original smile froze on her face, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. As soon as Erya saw her like that, she knew that this brother and daughter-in-law were too careful. Ay! This is not good for big women, they like to think too much and too far about everything. She shook her head and whispered to Anzi's daughter-in-law, "You! As soon as I saw you like this, I knew that I must have listened to my second aunt's words and thought too much. We countrymen are like this, we speak as we want, and we never have any scruples. If you extend it all and expand outward, then you don't have to do anything for the rest of your life, just think about what they mean. The second aunt has always been afraid that you will think too much, and she has chattered several times on the road, if you really love to think about it so much, then the family will not be able to reunite together, talk and laugh in the future. ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law listened to the words of the second sister-in-law and immediately reacted. When she first got married, Anzi repeatedly told herself that their family had always spoken casually, without scruples, and asked her not to think about it. If you have any doubts in your heart, ask them directly, and don't speculate secretly. Why did she forget it after a long time? As soon as she figured out this, her face quickly became normal again, and the second aunt was talking happily to her sister-in-law, but she didn't pay attention to her daughter-in-law.

Anzi's daughter-in-law quickly adjusted her mentality, and naturally followed her second sister-in-law to talk about some things when she got along with others: "Hey! I said I wanted a daughter, and the ladies who wanted sons told me that I laughed at them for not having a son. This person talks and chats, he really can't think too much, otherwise he has to resent others for no reason, and he will also have a bad reputation as a chicken intestine and a dog, which is really boring. We also live in that kind of environment, and we are used to thinking a lot when we speak obediently, and when we compare with you, we will know how tired we are living. I'm also lazy now, and I don't go out to their meetings so that I don't have to fight with them. Hiding at home all day, fortunately, he doesn't need me to go out and help him do anything. ”

Erya nodded: "You are right to do this, our family doesn't need women to go outside to do that public relations thing." Whether a man does well in officialdom depends on whether he is serious about being an official and doing things in a down-to-earth manner, rather than relying on women's communication. If you want to rely on women, you won't be able to do that kind of official for long. ”

Seeing that the second sister-in-law not only did not blame herself for not helping her husband, but appreciated that she had done the right thing, she couldn't help but admire this second sister-in-law even more. No wonder Grandpa Tai insisted that a woman be in charge of the power of the Wang family, with a status equal to that of the patriarch. With the second sister-in-law's unique mind and insight, it is not comparable to ordinary men.

In the past few years, I heard that the Wang family is very wealthy, but they are not dependent on Xiaohu and their family, they are all self-reliant, raising rabbits, raising yellow wolves, opening shops outside, opening small restaurants, selling roast duck, and lo-mei. But they all respect the second sister-in-law, and they don't even have a single person who blames the second sister-in-law for not carrying them. She hasn't actually figured out why until now?! (To be continued......)

PS: Today I don't know where the electricity leaks at home, and I have been tripping, and I have been looking for a property to check for a long time before it is repaired. Originally, I planned to take a leave of absence today if I was too late, but I didn't expect to write enough chapters in the end. I'm just sorry to keep you waiting again!
