Looking at the situation of Yufeng and Qingxing, it should only be a hazy good feeling, but I am afraid that even they themselves have not noticed some small signs. Qiu Chen naturally won't poke it at this time, but this incident reminded her that it is normal for girls to beat and give birth to such hazy feelings, but it is also necessary to prevent them from doing anything wrong on the spur of the moment, reputation chastity is secondary, and the key is that it is likely to affect the happiness of a lifetime...... In this era, it may even be worth paying the price of your life because of a mistake.

Zeng Da Niu fell into the water just a moment, hurriedly climbed up from the embankment where there was no one on the other side, Yufeng had already taken a set of dry clothes from home, handed it to a child watching the excitement, and asked him to send it to Zeng Da Niu, which relieved Zeng Da Niu's embarrassment.

Qiu Chen watched coldly, and couldn't help but evaluate in his heart, compared to Qingxing's ignorance, Yufeng's actions are more worthy of the two comments of empathy and gentleness and virtuousness!

The pond in front of the door is not very big, and the picking of lotus seeds is only half an hour to complete, and the lotus flowers that have been picked with more than a dozen buds to be released are brought up, and the jade phoenix thanked happily and went into the backyard. However, the water chestnut and gourd that are not visible on weekdays are actually very vigorous under the lotus leaves, and the small pond has also received half a basket of water chestnuts and two baskets of gourds.

These things are guarded by everyone, and on weekdays, the children watch with their eyes but no one goes to the disaster, and when they are picked up at this time, Qiu Chen naturally will not only care about his own house, but will be separated on the edge of the pond.

Liu Jiaao is now far from the poverty and poverty of the year, many families have people into the workshop to work, at least one or two silver every month, that is, there is no suitable to enter the workshop, but also go to the mountains to pick Luo Bu hemp, pick forsythia, schisandra and other medicinal materials to sell, in the summer and autumn seasons every household to plant vegetables and sell them to the workshop, the total income is not old and young, a woman can also earn a year of three or five taels of silver.

Because when the Lin family's workshop recruited workers, all those who could read, write and settle accounts were arranged with correspondingly better work, and the monthly money was higher than that of the lower force, which greatly drove the enthusiasm of the farmers to send their children to school to study. Therefore, since the addition of Mr. in the school last year, the seven or eight-year-old children in the village can no longer see the streets playing or going down to the mountains to work, and they have been sent to the school by their parents and elders. They don't expect their children to take the imperial examination like the second young master of the Lin family, they expect their children to be able to read and count, and they will be sent to work in the Lin family's workshop in the future, and they will be satisfied with a job with a high monthly income.

This year, the school expanded a courtyard to be the residence of the gentlemen, the building of the school is much more spacious, and the age requirements for the children enrolled in the school are also lowered.

At this time, when I heard the letter of the Lin family picking lotus seeds, there were many children around, but they were all under the age of six. From the children's clothing, it can also be seen that the life of the people in the village is comfortable, it turns out that in the summer, the seven or eight-year-old leather monkeys are also long naked and run all over the street, and then look at the little end of the bank at this time, but the worst also wears a calf nose pants, and some also bring a small pocket, and the cleaning is much neater than the original.

Qiu Chen walked down the plank road with a few little girls and greeted with a smile: "Everyone who wants lotus pods is here!" ”

Hearing this, one or twenty Xiaomo Du'er ran over one after another, and when they ran to Qiu Chen, they suddenly slowed down, and stopped two or three steps away, one by one shouting their fingers, or rubbing their hands, looking at Qiu Chen with their eyes open and their heads up, but no one rushed forward and hugged around, and no one shouted and shouted.

"Come, come, have any...... Don't worry......" Qiu Chen was also in a good mood when he saw these children standing together crowded.

simply squatted down, took the water chestnut and the lotus pod, and divided them into a pair of small hands. There were many spikes on the shell of the chicken's head rice, and a child was stabbed and cried in pain. Qiu Chen hurriedly took another lotus pod and put it in his little hand, the little skin monkey still had tears on his face, and in a blink of an eye, he burst into laughter.

After a round of commotion, each child got a lotus pod and went happily. Qing Xing looked at the few water chestnuts left in the basket, couldn't help but flatten her mouth, and muttered, "Mrs. is too generous......

Qiu Chen was watching those children go home happily, when he heard Qingxing's muttering, he turned his head to look at her, and then turned his gaze to the backs of those children: "Our family is still missing this little thing?" If you want to eat this, go to the lake and pick it yourself, you can eat enough......"

Exhaling lightly, Qiu Chen muttered as if to himself: "I'm just thinking, Aman and Chengzi are in a foreign land, if there is a place that Uncle Mu can't take care of, what is the difficulty, and there are people like us to stretch out their hands......

Qiu Chen's voice was extremely low when he said this, as if he hadn't sent it out, Qing Xing was stunned, and asked, "What did you say, madam?" I didn't hear ...... clearly."

Qiu Chen had already retracted his melancholy gaze, and he also picked up his worries, shook his head, reached out and carried the basket on the ground, raised his feet and walked home: "I didn't say anything...... Let's go, that's enough to make some good food...... Hey, Qingxing, you go over there and pick a few big lotus leaves, let's use these to cook today! ”

When Junyan Junzhang and a group of boys came back from school, they couldn't help but be annoyed when they learned that their aunt had gone to pick lotus flowers, especially Junyan, who stomped her feet again and again and shouted: "Why didn't my aunt wait for our brothers, just aunt, you go to the pond by yourself, and no one takes care of it, how dangerous it is, what if you fall......

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to say anything, Junwen slapped him over: "You stinky boy, don't play tricks here, you're still a landlubber!" ”

Jun Yan screamed in pain when he was patted, avoided Qiu Chen on the other side, and muttered, "Who said that people are landlubbers...... People know how to plan, it turns out that they soak in the water every day in the summer at home, that is, my aunt is strict and does not allow ...... in the water."

Before he finished speaking, he slapped Junyan's head again, but it was Qiu Chen who glared at him and scolded him: "You stinky boy still complains about your aunt......

After a pause, Qiu Chen's mind turned and he simply said, "Don't you want to go into the water?" It's not impossible, I'll go and tell you a few masters, starting from tomorrow, your evening practice will be changed to a watery face! ”

Junyan was stunned in disbelief, and when he heard it, he shouted: "Oh, that's great, you can go into the water and take a bath......"

Junzhang, who has always been inseparable from him, also moved aside at this time, looking at him with idiotic eyes, not to mention Junwen and Junshu, who are bigger than Junyan. However, Ah Fu and Junli are young, and they can't think of these things, so they are also silly happy.

Looking at the children's happy appearance, Qiu Chen also felt relieved. Instead of waiting for the child to stay away from the side and worry all the time, it is better to let the child learn more skills while he is around, even if it is a healthy body, even if it is to practice a good water nature...... At least when encountering the corresponding crisis, it can be resolved, and it is good to be able to save oneself without asking him to help others!

This matter was decided, but it was just Qiu Chen's words, and Qin Li and Qin Yong readily agreed. From this day on, the children's evening workout changed from running to swimming and water...... Teaching children to practice water, a few of their coaches are also beneficial, on a hot day along the Qingshui River for a while, find a secluded inlet to soak for an hour, that is a cool word!

The second brother's youngest son is about to be the twelfth, and Qiu Chen, as the only aunt, naturally wants to go to the Yang family shop to congratulate! The children also arched to see the new younger brother, so Qiu Chen went to discuss with Mr. Ding and Pan Jiaqing, and the two gentlemen agreed very happily, giving the children under Junyan Junzhang ten days of vacation, Junwen Junshu because they want to participate in next year's county examination, the foundation of the two children is thin, although the past two years have been very hard, but they dare not ignore it at all, so they left the two of them to continue studying. At the same time, you can also take care of all parts of the family, after all, there is a workshop and a large family at home, if you don't stay alone, it is obviously not good.

Qiu Chen didn't show up about the vacation, and it wasn't until dinner on June 16 that Qiu Chen announced: "Don't study too late today, let's get up early tomorrow morning and go back to Yang's shop to see your brother!" ”

Naturally, the children cheered. Only Junwen Junshu was not too surprised. Qiu Chen had discussed it with the two of them before, and now he was just watching his younger brothers cheering and making noise.

Because the child mortality rate is too high at this time, it is because the child is not publicized after birth, and a cloth strip is hung at the door to indicate that there is confinement at home, and the guest is refused to come to the door. There is a difference between men and women, girls hang strips of floral cloth, and boys hang strips of red cloth......

The strip of cloth hung out for a few days, and the child and the mother passed the first few days when they were most likely to have a bad pool, and then they notified their relatives and friends to come and celebrate. Generally boys pay more attention, so they spend more time observing, until the twelfth day, commonly known as 'passing the twelfth day';

The second sister-in-law Zhao is the sixth day of June to give birth, to June 17 is the twelfth, yes, Qiu Chen said to get up early to hurry, all the way over, just arrive at Yang's shop before noon, the road is too hot. Anyway, the Lin family has more carriages now, so pack up two more carriages, lay them more comfortably, and let the children sleep in the car!

Because of this incident, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu and Junli to the kang early, because the next day he went to Yang's shop on vacation, the two little ones were excited and did not feel sleepy, and were coaxed by Qiu Chen to play the game of wooden people, and after playing a few times, the two 'little wooden people' fell asleep.

The children fell asleep quickly without heart or lungs, but Qiu Chen's biological clock was very stubborn, so she had to take the book and read it with the lights. At first glance, it turned out to be the diary-like thing she had originally bought. This thing initially let her know a lot of social customs, interesting stories about the government and the opposition, and it relieved her nervousness when she first arrived. Unknowingly, she has been here for more than two years, from having nothing at the beginning, food and clothing, to now she has a family business and relatives...... It's also a successful career!

Hehe, thinking about it, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be happy. No matter how she is said in her two lives, she can be regarded as relatively successful, and she can be regarded as living a sound and prosperous life...... Uh, forget it, I won't mention the latter sentence, so as not to be too arbitrary and attract God's eyes again, and what kind of natural disaster or something, it's okay if she dies, maybe she will be thrown into the Jurassic if she can't die......

Thinking wildly in his heart, Qiu Chen suddenly became sleepy, and sat there and dozed off.

A little on her head, her body shook, she woke up in shock, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the scroll in her hand had been stained by the lamp because she was dozing, and it was instantly ablaze.

At this moment, Qiu Chen was sitting on the edge of the kang, and there was nowhere to throw it, so he suddenly got up, lifted the curtain of the ear house, and threw the book in his hand into the basin with a flick of his hand. There was half a basin of water in the basin, and the fire on the book was extinguished with only a very slight snort, but Qiu Chen ran over and scooped up the book very distressedly, shook off the water on the page vigorously, and went to get a clean cotton handkerchief, turned back to the lamp and used the handkerchief to stain the water stains on the page......

While staining her, she was secretly glad, fortunately, fortunately, the ink used in this codex should be of high quality, and the waterproof effect is relatively good, after Qiu Chen's timely rescue, it was not blurred......

It's just that as soon as she missed her eye, she could vaguely see some unclear handwriting gradually appearing on the wet pages...... Qiu Chen rubbed his eyes and calmed down, and then went to take a closer look...... After reading a few of the handwriting, he stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning.

--The handwriting on the page is actually the Chinese Simplified Chinese that she has learned and used for decades since she was a child!

Qiu Chen's heart was shocked, the font that should have been unusually familiar, she stared at it for a long time, but she didn't understand a word. When she bit her lip to calm herself up, she looked at the page again, but because the water stains had dried, the handwriting that appeared on the water was gone.

Qiu Chen looked at the pages that had been restored to ordinary white paper and black for a long time, and finally pressed down the surging excitement, wiped and smoothed the pages one by one, and finally put them on the windowsill to dry, but did not try to dip the water to identify the handwriting.

The handwriting written in such a concealed way, regardless of the content, just the origin of the person who wrote these words is afraid that it will cause her to have a huge emotional shock, and she may not be able to sleep all night...... Ming'er, she had to get up and rush to Yang's shop, and she had to sit in a carriage for more than three hours, and when she arrived at Yang's shop, she had to entertain so many relatives and neighbors...... She had to keep her spirits up, and she couldn't afford to be distracted by that.

After packing up his emotions and blowing out the lights, Qiu Chen forced himself to lie down and close his eyes, and silently recited the songs of prescription prescriptions to dispel the doubts and speculations in his brain...... In this way, I don't know how many square songs she recited silently, and she actually fell asleep.

The next day, Qiu Chen was woken up by Yufeng and Chen.

At the beginning of the night, it was three o'clock in the night, and even in the middle of summer, it was still dark outside.

Qiu Chen hurriedly got up, saw that Yufeng went to call Junshu and Ah Fu again, and simply stopped: "Don't wake them up, let's wrap them in a cloak and carry them directly to the car later, let them sleep enough, and only when they get there will they have the energy to play!" ”

Chen smiled and nodded, and went to look for the cloaks worn by the two children, Qingxing and Chunxiang came in to serve Qiu Chen to freshen up, and Yufeng and Yuegui quickly carried the prepared luggage out of the car to load the car.

As soon as he was busy, Qiu Chen set off with four small ones in the car, although he had told Junwen Junshu last night not to get up early, but the two of them still got up early to watch the people set up the car, and checked up and down, and then pulled Junyan Junzhang, who was still rubbing his eyes, into the car and handed it to the Chen family who followed the two brothers in the car. Qiu Chen took Ah Fu and Junli to the first car, followed by Yue Gui and Chun Xiang with two little girls. As for the little servants of Junyan Junzhang and Junli Afu, they were all assigned to the wheel, or they were carried by Qin Li and Qin Yong on horseback.

In the night, in addition to the horses' hooves trampling and wheels, the horses occasionally snapped their noses, and several carriages wanted to follow around the pond, and along the road paved with broken bluestone except for Liu Jiaao, on the main road, they let go of the horses and ran at speed.

The children fell asleep when they got into the car, and at this time, Qiu Chen took two large pillows on both sides of the children to prevent the children from bumping into the car wall, and she herself relied on a large pillow, stretched her legs, and closed her eyes as comfortable as possible.

This time, it didn't matter how to brew, but he quickly shook and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw that the sky was already bright, Qiu Chen lifted the curtain on the car window and asked outside, Qin Li, who was with the car, leaned over and said back and forth that it had passed Cheng's store, and in half an hour, it would be about the beginning of the morning to Anping County.

"Let's talk to the back, if you have enough time, let's rest in Anping County, have breakfast and then continue on our way!"

Qin Li agreed, and neatly turned the horse's head on the spot to pass the word to the back.

When I arrived in Anping, I didn't enter the city, so I stopped at a carriage and horse shop outside the city. Qin Li and Shen Hu ran to settle down, asked for a clean small yard, let Qiu Chen and the others get out of the car, and the children were also woken up and brought in to freshen up, and they were completely sober.

Junli was also surprised that he had run to a strange place after falling asleep, which made Qiu Chen and the family laugh.

Before going out, the Daxing family brought two food boxes, took them up at this time, and asked for hot porridge in the store, and the family ate breakfast regardless of dignity and humility, and got into the car again after a little activity.

In this way, it is not too late to rush to Yang's shop.

Yang Shu got the letter and came to the entrance of the village early to meet him, and when he saw several carriages coming, he hurriedly and happily greeted him.

"Second Uncle ......" "Daddy ......"

Ah Fu and Junli didn't sleep but were detained in a small carriage, and soon couldn't sit still, Qiu Chen ordered someone to roll up the curtain of the car, and let the two children sit in the door of the carriage, not only without delaying to see the scenery outside the car, but also to joke and have fun with the little guy on the wheel.

Fortunately, Qiu Chen reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the arms of the two boys, otherwise these two boys might be able to get up and rush out of the gang directly......

The carriage stopped, and Yang Shu slammed the driver, hugged Ah Fu and Junwen, and pricked the cheeks of the two children with his beard, making the two children laugh and scream in a mess.

Qiu Chen looked at the second brother who expressed his longing like this, and when the intimacy between one and the two was over, he asked with a smile: "Second brother, why did you come here in person?" There are a lot of guests at home today, why don't you greet you at home? ”

The little guy on the wheel had already gotten out of the carriage when it stopped, and at this moment, Yang Shumeng settled Junli and Ah Fu on the wheel, pulled the reins of the horse and drove the carriage to the village, waving his hand and saying with a nonchalant face: "Most of the people who come today are from women's families, and our mother and our sister-in-law take care of it, where can I be a fool of a man...... Besides, my little nephew is a guest, how can I, who is an uncle, not come out and continue...... Isn't it, filial piety? ”

Listening to Yang Shumeng talking, he turned around again to tease the two children, Qiu Chen knew that the second brother looked very arrogant, but he was the best for the children, and after leaving for half a month, she should also miss the children, so she didn't ask anymore, only put the car curtain, took out the mirror again, tidied up the somewhat messy sideburns slightly, and took out the stream-green cicada wing yarn embroidered butterfly placket and the stone blue embroidered lilac pleated skirt for the convenience of taking off the car.

As soon as it was tidied up, the car stopped for a while, and before the curtain was opened, Qiu Chen heard a noisy voice outside the car coming in through the window.

"Hey, look, the daughter of the Yang family is back, and she is now a nobleman...... I heard that the grade is higher than that of the prefect......"

"What about the nobles, when a man dies, it's not the life of a widow......"

"Hey, what if the man dies? People want to have money, they want people, and now they have a seal, where is it bad? There are men in your family, that is, they drink and scold their children and beat their every day...... According to me, it's better to have such a man than not to have one! ”

"You ......" burst out of a foul and vulgar swearing...... The whispering became a riot of swearing.

"Oh, okay, okay, you guys are arguing here, can you afford to sin the nobles? ......" I don't know who shouted, which made the scolding forgetful shrew dumb all of a sudden.

At this moment, as if in response to this person's words, Qin Li and Qin Yong led the four family members to ride forward to separate the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, they cleared out an empty space at the door of Yang's house.

Chunxiang and Yuegui took the two little girls to get down from the carriage at the back, and brought the eight little girls to the front two cars together, standing with their hands down, waiting for Qiu Chen to get off.

Yang Shumeng is also very tired of these brainless women, seeing this situation, he knows that some foul words have been heard by these people, these people are deliberately done for people to see, and it is also a maintenance of his sister, Yang Shumeng will naturally not object.

At this time, the coachman who followed the car had already caught up and grabbed the reins of the horse, and erected the support under the wheel, and Yang Shumeng flicked the ochre-colored cocoon silk on his body, stretched out his hand to carry Ah Fu and Junli out of the car, and then smiled at the car: "Sister, I'm home, get off!" ”

Qiu Chen replied in a low voice, and got out of the carriage through the curtain of the second brother, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had unintentionally swept over the villagers who were excluded from more than a dozen steps, and then he was supported by Yang Shu and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car.

Although Qiu Chen did not wear any too bright clothes, the colors of the upper and lower dresses were plain and light, and the embroidery did not have big flowers and large gold threads and silver embroidery, but only this set of cicada wing yarn and silk skirt on his body, plus a few patterns embroidered by Suzhou embroidery girls, the butterflies embroidered on the upper skirt were only the size of a thumb cap, but the shapes were different and lifelike, and the lilacs on the skirt were clustered one by one, and the color changes as if they were alive and fragrant, which was enough to dazzle the eyes of the villagers who wore coarse linen clothes and patches every day.

The crowd that had just been silenced by Qin Li and the others was even more silent this time, and after coming into contact with Qiu Chen's indifferent but detached gaze, a few people with weak hearts couldn't help but panic and dodge, but there were also closer neighbors who smiled at her, but they didn't say hello.

Qiu Chen got out of the car, took Ah Fu and Junli one by one, and looked at Junyan Junzhang in the car behind him and got out of the car, then greeted the villagers with a smile: "Today is a good day for my little nephew, and the family will set up a banquet in a while, if the villagers are free, they will come and sit down, and add some blessings to the children!" ”

Hearing her speak gently, she couldn't help but respond with a smile in a hurry: "Come, the designated ......"

There are also those who want to go to the flowing water table to eat and drink well, but they don't know what thoughts are turning in their hearts, but now they don't dare to make slang like before, or hang their heads silently, or sneer and agree.

For these people, Qiu Chen just greeted the second elder of the Yang family in the face, and he didn't have to delay any longer, so he pulled the children into the house after smiling. Sister-in-law Zhou finally came out of it at this time, and while wiping the water on her hands on her apron, she greeted with a smile: "Oh, why didn't you come over early yesterday?" This hour came, got up early and rushed to the night, right? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Chen's knees, leaned over and picked up Ah Fu, kissed him against his face, "Fu'er, you've grown so tall...... Hehe, look at this more and more handsome, it's like a little showman! ”

"Sister-in-law!" Qiu Chen greeted him with a smile, and he didn't say much, he just smiled and said: "He's so big, he's very heavy, sister-in-law hug him and let him walk by himself!" ”

Ah Fu also responded cooperatively: "Auntie, let me down!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Zhou reluctantly put down Ah Fu, turned his head and looked for a while but couldn't see Ah Man, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is the girl?" Why didn't you see it? ”

The smile on Qiu Chen's face froze, and he said with a smile: "Man'er's master took him to the south, and he will come back in a few days......"

"Ouch, how old is Man'er......" Zhou exclaimed, but he was silent halfway through Qiu Chen's signal, and only complained in a low voice that Qiu Chen's heart was too ruthless, why was such a big girl willing to let her go out...... Qiu Chen only smiled bitterly when he heard it. Where is she ruthless, her man'er was obviously abducted by Old Man Mu's old man!

The aunt and sister-in-law talked all the way into the door of Yang's house, Junyan Junzhang took Junli and Ah Fu to greet Zhou, and impatiently followed behind the adults, and ran into the door early. Yang Shumeng stayed behind and beckoned to park the carriage, told his family to take care of the horses and vehicles, and greeted Qin Li and the others.

Qin Li smiled and arched his hand: "Second uncle, don't be polite to our brothers, you are busy today, even if you are busy, the brothers will take care of you at the door, and the rest can't be done, it's okay to greet the people who follow and the carriages and horses." ”

Yang Shu smiled and said: "Brother Li doesn't know the situation of my family, except for my Yang family who has lived a good life with my sister, those relatives are just ordinary villagers, most of them come over, how can there be any chariots and horses, there are one or two people who drive ox carts and donkeys, and there are two people on the door to take care of it." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Li to beckon Qin Yong to enter the door, but was stopped by Qin Li: "Second uncle, you are very familiar with us, so don't see each other like this." Just tell us where to put it...... In addition, the things brought by our wife are still in the car and will be unloaded as well. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, Yang Shumeng was no longer polite, pointed to the west wing and told Qin Li where to rest and eat, and then busily went to take care of it.

Here, when Qiu Chen followed Zhou into the main room, the children had already seen the second elder, and ran out of the city hand in hand to see their younger brother. Today's day is special, naturally the second sister-in-law and the little nephew are the mainstays, Qiu Chen has seen the second elder, and then naturally went to the second sister-in-law Zhao's room to visit.

Now the Yang family is not the original single courtyard, last year I bought the homestead of the people behind and on the left, and this year after the New Year, the old house was pushed and rebuilt, becoming a pattern of two roads and two entrances. The eldest brother and sister-in-law naturally live in the main house of the main courtyard, the second elder of the Yang family lives in the main house of the main courtyard, and the second brother and sister-in-law Zhao live in the main house on the West Road.

Because there is only one pregnant woman in the family and the Zhao family, the brothers of the Yang family discussed a few years ago and asked Daxing to help buy more than a dozen people, and now there is a mother-in-law in each room of the Yang family to serve, in addition to the mother-in-law who bought it, there is also a girl Yuhe brought back from the Lin family. There are also two mothers-in-law in the kitchen, but there are many guests today, and the relatives and friends of the Yang family, as well as the Zhao family, will come to congratulate and send confinement millet eggs and children's clothes. Therefore, Zhou couldn't stay idle, so he brought a few closer neighborhood daughters-in-law from the village, as well as a few kitchen ladies and daughters-in-law she brought back from Nanmara Lake, and they were busy in the kitchen.

Qiu Chen saw her outfit and knew that she was busy, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can go and get busy, you don't have to accompany me...... By the way, sister-in-law Chen, you can take longan and lychee over and see if you can help......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhou: "Don't mind, don't worry, don't ...... It's not that I don't think Sister-in-law Chen's craftsmanship is bad, it's mainly that what we do is the Zhuanghu flowing water table, and Sister-in-law Chen's good craftsmanship can't be used in the past......"

Chen smiled humbly: "Uncle's wife is just lifting me...... I went to pick vegetables, wash and scrub! ”

Zhou couldn't push it, but he confessed to Qiu Chen, and took Chen and the two little girls to the kitchen to get busy.

Qiu Chen took Chunxiang and Yuegui and went to the West Cross Courtyard together.

Because Qiu Chen got up early and hurried, she arrived the farthest and the earliest. At this time, in addition to the busy family members, the guests have basically not arrived, and the west courtyard is even quieter.

The master and servant entered the west courtyard and walked straight to the main house, and before they entered the door, they heard the sound of chattering in the house, and couldn't help laughing.

Lifting the curtain and entering the hall, Qiu Chen raised his voice first: "Second sister-in-law, I came to see my little nephew......

Zhao's voice echoed in the room: "It's her aunt, right?" Come in, come in! ”

As Zhao's voice fell, a mother-in-law in her thirties forced her hand to greet her. Seeing Qiu Chen, he hurriedly smiled and bent his knees: "I've seen Mrs. Gu!" Mrs. Gu, please come in, the little masters have just come in, and they know that Mrs. Lu Dao is behind. ”

Qiu Chen had already seen these mothers-in-law when he came to the Yang family before, and he knew that he was a diligent and duty-in-law person, and now he saw that the mother-in-law surnamed Zhang was wearing an apron, although he looked a little tired, but his hands and faces were very clean, so he nodded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law has been confined these days, so that Sister-in-law Zhang has been tired." ”

Saying a look, Chunxiang next to him immediately handed over a small silver bill, one or two plum blossom silver bills fell in the palm of his hand, Zhang was surprised and delighted, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Chen, thanked the reward, and quickly got up, and diligently opened the curtain for Qiu Chen: "It is the duty of the slave to serve the second wife, Mrs. Gu can rest assured, the slave must be dedicated!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't say much, only nodded with a smile, and went straight across the threshold into the back room.

Zhao sat in the kang wearing a muslin shirt and pants, with a windproof headscarf on his head, and a small flower quilt was placed near the kang not far from her, which was almost surrounded by four boys, and all four people were lying in front of the child, poking and touching, and they didn't know what to say while muttering.

Qiu Chen smiled and slapped a few boys away, "My brother can't stand your heavy hands at such a young age...... Okay, brother, you've seen it too, can you take out the gifts you prepared? ”

A few boys sneakily prepared gifts, Qiu Chen knew what to do, and now he looked at the kang to see if there was any, and couldn't help but remind a few stinky boys who were forgetful of playing.

Junyan was the first to jump up, touched his head and sighed: "I forgot to get the car, I'll get it!" ”

Before the words fell, he rushed out of the smoke in a puff of smoke.

Junzhang and Junli took out a gift for their younger brother from their arms, and what Junzhang took out were two small silver bells, with red silk loops, and Zhao happily took them and tied them to the child's wrists. Junli also took out a gift from his arms, but it was a colored thread tied with a silver coat he got from his aunt, Zhao touched the face of his second son and said with a smile: "Your brother can't take this with him at this time, when he is as old as you, my mother will put it on him and tell him that his fifth brother gave it to him." ”

At this time, the families were arranged in order, the Yang brothers were five sons before, and Junli was naturally the little five, but because he was the youngest, no one could say about it, and this was the first time he was called the fifth brother.

Before, his mother only had him in her eyes, but now, more eyes fell on the little guy who couldn't move or speak on the kang. Junli smiled and nodded at his mother's words, but his heart was inevitably a little sour and a little astringent...... Do you have to be like this when you become an older brother? It turned out that being an older brother was not as good as he thought.

Ah Fu took out a gift for the last one, but he directly took off a small and smooth jade pendant from his belt: "Second aunt, this is for my little cousin, I hope that my little cousin will be smart and healthy and live a long life!" ”

"Ouch, look at Fu'er's sweet ......" Zhao took the jade pendant with a happy face, and pulled Ah Fu to praise him.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't praise him, it's rare to be an elder brother, the two little boys are excited to walk with the wind these days." One sentence rescued Ah Fu from the hands of his second aunt, and he didn't dare to stay, he pulled Junli and slipped off the kang, and was about to go out, when Junyan bumped in with another gust of wind: "Ouch, I was packed into my luggage, let me find a good ......"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and held a box in both hands and handed it to Zhao on the kang: "Second aunt, this is a gift from the eldest brother and the second brother and me to the younger brother!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhao to speak, he pulled Junzhang and walked out: "Go, go, hurry up and go out to find a place to cool down, there is Xiaoliu here, I don't dare to speak loudly, and I don't dare to fan ......"

Ah Fu pulled Junli and walked out closely, but before leaving, he didn't forget to bow to his aunt and his mother, Junli also had the same example, although the appearance of the salute was not as skillful as Ah Fu, but it was also clumsy and cute, which made Zhao's face full of joy.

When the group of boys retreated, Zhao took Qiu Chen's hand and said, "Sister, the children are all placed with you, and you are tired...... Hehe, okay, I won't be polite to you, I'm just happy to see Junli so well-behaved...... This looks like he's grown up a lot all of a sudden, like being naughty and mischievous everywhere when he's at home. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and pushed the Zhao family: "Look at what the second sister-in-law said, several children in our family are kind and benevolent, and it is also the nature of children to be a little naughty...... Besides, I'm so busy every day that I don't care about them, these are all taught by the gentlemen in the school, and the second sister-in-law wants to thank you until you go out of confinement to thank the gentlemen, but don't thank me, then thank the wrong person. ”

The sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled, Qiu Chen took out a red gold longevity and wealth longevity lock, and Zhao pushed it away twice and accepted it, and put it next to Xiao Liu'er's pillow. There is a custom here that relatives who come to the door on the 12th will prepare a child's gift, thick or thin, and will put it next to the newborn's pillow for later guests to see. After a while, there were six children plus Qiu Chen's red gold longevity lock, and the little six children of the Yang family were already full of gold, silver and jade on the pillow, and the gold and gold were very good-looking.

"Junzhang mother, her grandmother, her aunt, and aunts have all come to see you!" Yang Shumeng screamed at the door, Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and came down from the kang.

As soon as she got up and stood up, a loud laugh came in from the outside: "Ouch, I said fifth brother-in-law, now that your house has been built and the yard has been pulled, why didn't you buy two more people for my fifth sister to serve, see that they have all arrived at the door, and no one has come out to greet ......."

The sound was too loud, and Xiao Liu'er, who had slept soundly and sweetly, talked about it for a long time in a few brothers, and didn't wake up for a long time, but he was startled by this sour sound, and his little body shook violently, and then he let go of his throat and cried.

Xiao Liu'er cried, Qiu Chen smiled at the time: "I just slept peacefully, this voice is really loud, I can see that it is a strong one." ”

Zhao had already hurriedly picked up the child, patting and coaxing, and laughing: "The voice is loud, but the temper is good, and it is easy not to cry......

Before Zhao's words fell, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a tall and thin woman with a melon strip face walked in: "Ouch, this kid is really clever, this is the grandmother of Zhilu Dao's family who came to see him......"
