The second day of junior high school was the day when Tang Qing'er returned to her parents' house, she got up early, put on a lotus-colored dress, and was served by Zhu'er to dress up, Xue Qianxun had already finished cleaning up and was waiting for her on the side.

After Tang Qing'er finished dressing up, she said to Xue Qianxun: "Let's go quickly!" ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Don't worry, Sanshun is moving things to the carriage outside now, and it will take a while to leave." ”

Tang Qing'er sighed, and wanted to go back to her parents' house a little anxiously, but when she thought of the things that her grandmother and mother-in-law had asked her to bring to her parents' house, she could only wait in a hurry.

After a while, Sanshun came in and whispered, "Young Master, the things have been moved to the carriage, should we leave for the Tang family now?"

"Let's go now." Of course, these words came out of Tang Qing'er's mouth.

Xue Qianxun nodded, Sanshun turned around and went to the gate of the courtyard to lead the carriage, waiting for the young master and his wife to come over, Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun both wore mink cloaks and slowly walked out of the mansion, Xue Qianxun helped her into the carriage, and then sat in by himself.

In the carriage, Tang Qing'er touched the mink cloak draped on her body and said: "When I saw you wearing a mink cloak to my house before, I was jealous and envious in my heart, but now that you and I are married, I wear the same mink cloak as you to go back to my parents' house, and my brothers and sisters may not laugh at me?" ”

Xue Qianxun held her hand and said, "If you are laughing at you, let's prepare a mink cloak for each of our younger brothers and sisters." ”

"Don't, if my mother knew about your plan, she wouldn't have to reprimand me again," Tang Qing'er pulled out her hand and stopped.

Xue Qianxun frowned and said, "Don't you know that your hands and feet are cold in winter?" Why can't you still leave your hands exposed to the cold at every turn?"

Where did Tang Qing'er think that he noticed this, and said shyly: "I didn't notice,"

"Yes," she replied lightly, and put her hand in her own hands again.

Tang Qing'er said again: "Not long after Grandpa passed away, I caught up with the New Year, and I don't know if my father can touch the scene and hurt this year's New Year," Thinking of her father crying in front of her father's grave, she is still very distressed when she thinks about it now.

Xue Qianxun said: "With my father-in-law's temperament, I'm afraid I will be sad for a while. ”

Tang Qing'er nodded, sitting in the carriage and feeling a little anxious, she felt that the Xue Mansion was very close to her mother's house, but now she somehow felt that the carriage had not arrived after walking for so long.

Xue Qianxun saw the anxious look on Qing'er's face, and said slowly: "If there is nothing in the house, you often come back to the Yue family, why are you so anxious this time." ”

"Maybe as a married girl, it's the first time I'll go back to my parents' house for the New Year! The mood is different, and the feelings are also different," Tang Qing'er thought about it and said slowly.

"It's coming soon," Xue Qianxun said lightly.

Tang Qing'er said, "En," After speaking, he lifted the curtain and looked at it, and determined the position where the carriage was driving now.

Finally arrived at Tang's house, Tang Tiezhu and his wife didn't come out, but Feng Xiao stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for them, saw the eldest sister wearing mink and got out of the car first, trotted over and took the eldest sister's hand and said, "Eldest sister, you have finally come home." ”

Tang Qing'er nodded his frozen red nose and said, "Waiting for me outside with such little clothes, is it cold?" ”

Feng Xiao smiled and said, "It's not cold," took the eldest sister's hand and walked slowly into the courtyard, not caring at all about Xue Qianxun who came down from behind the carriage.

After entering the house, Li took his daughter's hand and said, "Did you freeze all the way?" ”

Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "It's not cold, Xue Mansion is only one street away from our house, how can it be frozen." ”

Xue Qianxun then came in, and Li turned to him and said, "You have to go back after dinner here." ”

"Well, listen to my mother." Xue Qianxun said lightly, and said: "Mother, Qing'er and I brought you a lot of things from the mansion and put them on the carriage behind, where do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Li Shi thought about it and said to Feng Xiao: "Xiao'er, you go outside to help Sanshun and put things in the kitchen and your room." ”

Feng Xiao looked at his brother-in-law and saw that his face was as usual, but he knew that this was his brother-in-law behind his back, and wanted to summon him out of the house, don't stick to the eldest sister, although he was unwilling, but his mother's words couldn't help but listen, so he could only snort at him and turn around.

Tang Qing'er said again: "Mother, what about Dad?" ”

"Where's your dad in the shop? I won't be back until a while. Li said.

After the old man Tang passed away, Tang Tiezhu returned to the town, and immediately bought a shop with a yard to do carpenter business, he and Brother Xiang and the second brother made a treasure chest as the treasure of the town store to sell to the townspeople, this business is indeed very popular, whether it is the wife and young lady of the big family in the town or the girl of the small family like this treasure chest, the treasure chest is not only carved with beautiful patterns, but also the women's jewelry are put in this treasure chest.

Tang Qing'er said: "It's the New Year, why is my father still busy in the store," on the way here, she saw that some shops were closed and not open, why did his father still open the door to do business.

Li said with a smile: "This is not the New Year, everyone is visiting relatives and friends, some ladies and ladies in the town see that your father's treasure chest is beautiful and practical, so they have set a lot of them here for your father, ready to give them away, your father, Brother Xiang and your second uncle have to be busy until dark every day to come back,"

Tang Qing'er was surprised: "Business is so good! ”

"Not really! I originally gave your father an idea, said that there are so many people who customize the New Year, let's raise the price of this treasure box, which can make money and dispel the idea of some people wanting to continue customizing, but your father said that this business is ready to continue to do it for a long time, if the price rises during the New Year, who will patronize our store after the New Year. Li said sadly, in fact, she didn't want to do this, but she was reluctant to be so tired.

Xue Qianxun sat aside and said, "Dad is right, this business is going to continue for a long time, and it is better to accumulate some customers." ”

Li smiled bitterly: "But if it goes on like this, your father's body won't be able to bear it,"

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

"What's the method?" Tang Qing'er and Li asked together.

Xue Qianxun smiled and said, "It's better to wait for my father to come back, let's discuss it together!" ”

Tang Qing'er nodded, and said to her mother: "What about the other babies in the family?" ”

"Yang'er went to the master's New Year's greetings, Jiao'er and Man'er brought taro in the house," said Liang'er, who was away from home, and didn't know how he was now, where he spent the New Year, and whether he was cold or hungry.

Tang Qing'er looked at her mother talking, her face was sad, guessing that her mother thought of Liang'er, and said busily: "Mother, now that the snow is falling, the letters on this road have also been delayed, stay for a few days, the road will be easier, and Liang'er's letters will definitely come home." ”

"I hope so!" Li was worried about the old and the young, and couldn't help but say: "In my life, I'm worried about my tired life, and I worry about the old and the young." ”

Tang Qing'er put her arm around her mother and said, "How smart our family Liang'er is, even if someone is hungry and can't eat, and it won't be my family Liang'er's turn, do you say it's Xianggong?" ”

Seeing Qing'er give him a look, Xue Qianxun hurriedly echoed: "Yes, mother, don't worry, I'll ask the merchants passing by tomorrow to see if they have encountered Liang'er's caravan." ”

Li Shi said excitedly: "Can it be done?" ”

"Try to know, don't worry, if there is news of Liang'er, I will tell you in time." Xue Qianxun knew that the possibility of this kind of thing was very low, how could he casually ask the merchants passing by, and he could ask where Tang Liang's caravan was now, but he didn't dare to say this to his mother-in-law, for fear that she would be afraid.

Tang Qing'er also said: "Mother, what the husband said, you should always believe it!" He never lied to you. ”

"En," Li said with a smile when he heard Xun'er's words.

At this time, Tang Tiezhu and Brother Xiang came back from outside, and Li said, "Why did you come back so early today." ”

"Didn't Qing'er and Xun'er come home? How can I come back late. Tang Tiezhu glared at his mother-in-law, didn't he ask knowingly?

Tang Qing'er smiled and said, "Dad, I heard from my mother, your business is getting better and better, and now the ladies and ladies in the town are on your custom treasure chest,"

Tang Tiezhu laughed and said, "It's not your idea yet, otherwise where would we have thought of making a treasure chest." ”

Brother Xiang didn't go back to Lijia Village for the New Year, because the business in the shop was too hot, and his uncle and uncle couldn't keep busy, so he stayed at his uncle's house for the New Year, and he was busy making treasure chests together, so he nodded and said: "Uncle is right, this is thanks to the idea of making money for us by Sister Qing'er." ”

Xue Qianxun pulled Qing'er, Tang Qing'er looked at him and gave him a look, thought of business, and said to Tang Tiezhu and his wife: "Daddy, you sit on the top, and my husband and I will give you New Year's greetings." ”

Li Shi and Tang Tiezhu smiled and waved their hands: "My own family, you don't need these false courtesies. ”

Xue Qianxun said: "You and your mother raised Qing'er with hard work, and married her to me, my father and mother deserve to be worshiped by us." ”

Brother Xiang also said: "Auntie, uncle, since my cousin and brother-in-law say so, you should be worshiped by them!" ”

Tang Tiezhu and his wife saw that everyone said this, the two looked at each other, and Tang Tiezhu said to his mother-in-law: "Sit down!" ”

After the two of them sat on the top, Xue Qianxun and Tang Qing'er knelt down together to greet their father and mother, and Li Shi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, hurry up!" ”

Xue Qianxun pulled Qing'er up, Qing'er smiled and said, "Mother, hurry up and let the younger brothers and sisters in the family come out, Xianggong and I are ready to give them the New Year's money, don't they want it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Jiao'er's crisp voice coming from far and near: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law...... We're going to ...... Want...... Money given to children as a gift during lunar New Year. If she hadn't come out of the house to go to the kitchen and saw Sanshun and Feng Xiao moving things to the kitchen, she didn't know that her eldest sister and brother-in-law had already come to the house.

In order to get the New Year's money, she couldn't wait for Man'er in the back, so she took the lead in running from the house to the main hall, panting and said, "Sister, brother-in-law has a good New Year." With that, he stretched out a hand to each of them.

Tang Qing'er said helplessly: "You are a little money master, you know that you want money." ”

Jiao'er pouted and said, "I'll give you New Year's greetings, shouldn't you and your brother-in-law give me New Year's money?" ”

"Who said that?"

"The rules passed down by the ancestors, is there still a fake, is it not a brother-in-law?" I was afraid that the eldest sister would not give it to her, so I hurriedly threw the topic to my brother-in-law.

Xue Qianxun smiled lightly: "What Jiao'er said is true. ”

"That's right, bring the red envelope!" After speaking, his little hands were still dangling in the air, looking anxious.
