Tang Tiezhu took Brother Xiang home, and before he entered the hospital, he saw that the house was brightly lit, and said to Brother Xiang next to him: "Last time, your aunt told me to save lamp oil, but now she has lit so many oil lamps in the house. ”

Brother Xiang said: "My aunt may want to open it, the money is earned by people, and if she wants to open it, she will not be so frugal." ”

Tang Tiezhu shook his head and said, "Your aunt won't be like this!" Let's go! Go in and see what's going on. ”

When they entered the house, they found that Qing'er and Xun'er had come to the house, and he smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, I'm right!" ”

"It's still my uncle who understands my aunt." Since he followed his uncle to open a shop in the town, he is no longer the person who doesn't like to squeak and only knows how to work, but now he is becoming more and more sleek.

Xue Qianxun saluted his father-in-law and Brother Xiang and said, "Dad, you are back." ”

"Yes." Tang Tiezhu nodded, feeling that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Normally, you would have already returned home at this hour, why haven't you gone back today!" ”

"Qing'er and I plan to stay at home for a few days?"

"Oh! This is good," Tang Tiezhu said with a big laugh, since the girl got married, she has never spent the night at home?

Brother Xiang said uneasily: "Did Qing'er do something to make the in-laws angry?" "After a woman gets married, there are only two possibilities for her to return to her parents' home, either to be abandoned or to be sent back to her parents' home for reflection.

After finishing speaking, Tang Tiezhu darkened his face and said in a deep voice: "Is it really as Brother Xiang said? ”

"Dad, Brother Xiang, you think too much, it's because my sister-in-law is going to get married, my father and mother are busy with this, Qing'er is pregnant again, I can't take care of her, don't say it, and I'm afraid that she will bump into her." He repeated what his mother-in-law had said to the two of them.

"That's good, that's good." The two said in unison.

After a while, Tang Qing'er came out of the house with her waist up, and when she saw her father, her eyes lit up and said, "Dad, you're back!" "Say hello to Brother Xiang again.

"You girl, you go back to your parents' house with your body, but you scare your father!" Tang Tiezhu said, it was really a false alarm just now.

Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "It's not that I went home thinking about my father and mother and my younger siblings. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yang and Feng Xiao also entered the house from outside and said, "Dad, Brother Xiang, we're back." ”

As soon as Tang Yang finished speaking, he saw that his eldest sister and brother-in-law were at home, and said in surprise: "Why are you at home?" ”

Tang Qing'er walked up to him, stretched out her finger and knocked on his head and said, "Sure enough, it's stupid to read, this is my mother's house, why don't you let me go home?" ”

Tang Yang said seriously: "Eldest sister, you are wrong about the meaning of the word. ”

"Where did you think wrong, the tone of your voice is not welcome for me to come back." Tang Qing'er said deliberately.

Tang Yang looked unreasonable, and hurriedly explained: "Eldest sister, I really didn't mean that, I was a little surprised to see you and my brother-in-law in the house just now. He sweated on his forehead.

Seeing this, Tang Qing'er rolled up his sleeves to wipe his sweat and said, "I just deliberately teased you, you are in such a hurry," this younger brother is really a little stunned when he reads, and his mind is not flexible at all.

Feng Xiao said on the side: "Eldest sister, aren't you going back to the Xue family today?" ”

This kid opened his mouth in front of Xue Qianxun and was the 'Xue family', didn't it make him hold a grudge? Tunnel scolded: "How can you talk like this, the master taught you like this, and your etiquette has gone into the dog's belly." ”

Feng Xiao lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Brother-in-law was wrong with me just now, I said the wrong thing." ”

Tang Qing'er gave Xue Qianxun a look, and Xue Qianxun bowed his head and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart." ”

Feng Xiao didn't answer and continued to ask: "Eldest sister, you are going home with a different brother-in-law." ”

"Your brother-in-law and I are going to stay at home for a few days." Tang Qing'er touched Xiao'er's head and said.

Feng Xiao said excitedly: "Really, that's really good!" ”

At this time, Li came out of the kitchen and said to the people in the house: "Since you are all back, hurry up and go to the yard to wash up and prepare for dinner." ”

"Hey......"

"Good ......"

"Let's go ......" For a while, the people in the room answered Li's questions one after another, and she was amused to hear it.

Several people went out one after another, but Li said, "Brother Xiang, you wait." ”

Brother Xiang turned around and said, "Auntie, is there something?" ”

Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Today, Qing'er went home and brought two maids to serve her, you should pay attention to your behavior and don't do anything overstepping." ”

"Got it, auntie." At this time, Brother Xiang was not like just now, he scratched his head with a red face, and said humbly.

Li Shi waved his hand and said, "Now that you know the way, let's go wash up!" ”

"Yes."

Tang Qing'er stood behind Li and said, "Mother, you still think about it thoroughly, I didn't think about it," she returned to her mother's house, and her mind was full of thoughts about the baby in her belly.

"You, when you say you're smart, you're confused again, are you hungry?" Since the girl asked her if the meal was ready at dinner, she guessed that the girl was a little hungry, she was now double, hungry faster than others, fortunately Xun'er reacted quickly, and immediately asked Sanshun to go to the famous pastry shop in the town to buy a few snacks and come back, and pad her stomach.

Tang Qing'er nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry." ”

Li smiled and said, "Does this mean that my good grandson is slowly growing up in your belly?" When her daughter was just pregnant, she was happy for her daughter at first, and she felt a little unbearable on her face, taro was only more than two years old, and the uncle and nephew were three years apart. After saying this to the master, he said a lot of big truths to persuade himself, and then he slowly thought about it.

"Mother, you said that when I give birth, this belly must be so big," her mother is a person from the past, and she is really afraid that she will not even be able to walk when her belly is big.

Li said: "Don't worry, my mother was the same as you at the time, but you see, your two younger brothers were not born safely,"

"I hope I'm like a mother," Tang Qing'er prayed.

Li Shi held his daughter's hand and said, "Hurry up and sit down, the food will be served in a while, and then you will meet it." ”

"Yes." Tang Qing'er sat on the stool as she said, waiting for the others to serve the food.

The men washed up and sat at the dinner table, Tang Tiezhu said happily: "Today, the family is full, you should really call your second uncle's family over and be lively together,"

Jiao'er came into the house with vegetables, and when she heard this, she answered: "Dad, where are all the people, isn't the second brother not at home?" ”

For a while, the room was quiet, and Jiao'er immediately regretted that she didn't speak through her brain, and said everything, only looking at her father's black face, and said angrily: "Your second brother will come back in another month!" ”

"Yes? Dad, I said the wrong thing just now, don't be angry. Jiao'er immediately admitted her mistake.

Tang Qing'er also said: "Dad, Liang'er's letter didn't say that he would come back next month, when the time comes, our family will have dinner together, and then it will be really all the people." Chong Jiao'er waved her hand and said, "Why don't you go to the kitchen and bring other dishes." ”

Jiao'er got the order and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's go to the kitchen to serve food." ”

When Tang Liang left, Tang Tiezhu thought: A good man has ambitions in all directions, so he will let him go outside, but looking at the New Year's Festival, when the family eats, his mother-in-law sheds tears at his empty place, not to mention how sad he is behind his back, and when he can't see his mother-in-law crying, he complains a little about Liang'er's ignorance.

Xue Qianxun diverted the topic and said, "Dad, if you want the second uncle's family to come over for dinner, I'll ask Sanshun to call." ”

Tang Tiezhu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not early, their family should have finished eating at this time, aren't you and Qing'er going to stay at home all the time?" There is time for everyone to eat together. ”

Tang Qing'er echoed: "Dad said yes. ”

Jiao'er returned to the kitchen, patted her little chest and said, "Man'er, you should bring the food to the main hall in a while!" ”

"Second sister, what's wrong with you? The face is so pale! Man'er worried.

"Nothing? was said a few words by my father. Jiao'er exhaled, and said nonchalantly.

Li was stir-frying, and he didn't raise his head and said, "What are you muttering there?" Don't you see that they are all busy? Hurry up and get to work! ”

"Oh!"

"Good!"

Zhu'er helped cut vegetables, Lu'er lit the fire by the stove pit, Jiao'er and Man'er were more relaxed, and were only responsible for helping to bring the fried vegetables to the table, not that they didn't want to work, but that Zhu'er and Lu'er insisted on letting them rest, and the work was left to them.

Li glanced at Zhu'er's knife worker from time to time and said, "Bamboo girl, your knife work is really good!" ”

Zhu'er blushed and said, "I used to stay in the kitchen of the house, and I learned it from the cook,"

Lu'er said: "Sister Zhu'er, you are humble, you will be more than that." ”

Li smiled and said, "Zhu'er is so virtuous, there must have been many boys who wanted to marry you just now." ”

Hearing this, Zhu'er said in a slightly dark voice: "Which family's son is willing to marry a maid, I don't ask for anything else, if Mrs. doesn't hate me, I will always serve by Mrs.'s side." ”

"You can't think so." Li really thought that Zhu'er was a good girl, and persuaded her.

Zhu'er stopped talking and concentrated on cutting vegetables, and Li Shi didn't want to continue to talk about the roots, so he had to stir-fry the vegetables in his hand.

At this time, Feng Xiao came in and asked, "Mother, my father asked you when this dish would be ready, and he was in a hurry to drink with his brother-in-law!" ”

Li Shi saw that the three dishes on the side of the stove had not been taken away, and when he saw Jiao'er and Man'er hiding aside and whispering, his face turned black, and he was about to get angry with anger, Zhu'er hurriedly said: "Madam, don't be angry, I'll serve it!" In the house, I often serve the young master to drink Mrs. dinner. ”

Li Shi thought about it and nodded, she was not good at reprimanding the two girls in front of outsiders, and when no one was around, she would definitely preach to them by the ears and preach to them.

Zhu'er took a dish of dishes out of the house, and after Jiao'er saw it, she hurriedly looked at her mother's face, and it was really scary, and she pushed Man'er and whispered: "Mother is angry, let's hurry up and bring the remaining two dishes out of the house!" ”

Man'er was stunned and said, "Yes." "I went out with Jiao'er with the food, but I didn't know what was going on.

Zhu'er brought the dish to the table, and when she looked up and saw Brother Xiang, she was a little stunned, Tang Qing'er called her twice, she came to her senses and said with a red face: "Madam!" ”

"What's wrong with you? I see you're a little stunned! Tang Qing'er didn't notice the strange look on Zhu'er's face.

"It's okay," Bamboo whispered, and went to the kitchen with a red face.
