Chapter 131: Mother's Family

Seeing his daughter appear in front of him well, the old man's previous worries and guilt were dissipated, and his face was full of joy and tears, and he couldn't say anything else, but said again and again: "Okay, good, it's good to come back......"

As soon as Afu Aman saw his mother's relatives crying, he didn't care about playing with Junli, and hurriedly squeezed to the back of his mother's body, pulling the corners of his mother's clothes on one side, looking worried and ignorant, and he also had a bag of tears, and pouted on his mother's body.

When the old man Yang Liansheng saw his daughter, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shu, who were driven in, helped and comforted him and gradually wiped away his tears and calmed down a little. Qiu Chen was also helped up by the Zhou Zhao family.

Old Man Yang wiped his tears, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the two children beside Qiu Chen, and his heart hurt, but he still said with a smile: "This is Fu'er and Man'er, right?" Come, come here, let Grandpa take a good look! ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly smiled, pulled Ah Fu Aman, and said with a smile: "This is your grandfather, it's your mother's father, call grandpa!" Salute to grandpa! ”

Ah Fu is quiet, Ah Man is lively, the brothers and sisters have different personalities, but they are both sensible and obedient, and they have been in school for a few days, and there is no ambiguity in etiquette.

obediently followed his mother's words, stood in front of Qiu Chen together, one reached the ground, the other bent his knees, and then, both knelt in front of Old Man Yang, kowtowed respectfully, and then they were hugged by Yang Shumeng and Yang Shuyong with a smile and sent to Old Man Yang's arms, so that Old Man Yang was happily close for a while. Old man Yang took out a jade brand from his arms and handed it to Ah Fu, and took out a small silver bracelet to hand it to Ah Man.

Before, he had a little bit of a problem with these two children, but seeing that the children were so well-behaved and sensible, the little discomfort caused by Lin Sheng had already been astigmatized, and only his eyes were full of joy.

After Qiu Chen and the two children met Old Man Yang, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng came over with Junwen's four children and kowtowed to Old Man Yang.

Especially Yang Shumeng and Junshu, they hadn't said it to the old man before, but now that they came back safely, they no longer hid it, and after a few words, a trace of relief and joy flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he beckoned his daughter-in-law to arrange dinner.

Considering the tension in the Yang family's house, Qiu Chen didn't bring anyone else to the Yang family this time, not even Qingxing and Yufeng.

As soon as she said that dinner would be arranged, she wanted to stand up to help, but was stopped by Old Man Yang raising his hand: "Let your mother and two sisters-in-law Zhang Luo be busy, you can sit with peace of mind and tell me about your affairs." ”

The old man spoke, and Qiu Chen was not easy to disobey, so he had to call Junwen in and ask him to take out the cooked braised vegetables they bought from Anyang Mansion, and then sat on the edge of the kang again, and the old man Yang on the kang picked what he could say, and after he got better, he picked and sold medicine, collected Luo Buma, and then learned to read medicine books and got a few prescriptions...... One thing at a time, layer by layer, Old Man Yang listened silently, nodding or responding from time to time.

After talking for almost two quarters of an hour, Qiu Chen introduced the situation of the Lin family, Old Man Yang was silent and refilled Qiu Chen's cup of tea with his own hands, pushed it to Qiu Chen, looked at this girl who used to be the most favored and missed by him, sighed softly, and sighed: "It's hard for you......"

Qiu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

Obviously, Old Man Yang didn't need her to say anything more, he blinked, the sigh on his face suddenly dispersed, and he smiled comfortingly, and said, "Fortunately, your girl survived." The days will only be better in the future, and I will be relieved! ”

Qiu Chen nodded, got up and went over, wiped the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes with a handkerchief, and said to the old man Yang: "Dad, you and your mother should take good care of your body, and in the future, let me be filial and filial to your two elders...... You have worked hard for most of your life for our brothers and sisters, and you have enjoyed your happiness. ”

Old Man Yang patted Qiu Chen's hand on his shoulder with relief, and said, "Okay, okay, your mother and I are waiting to enjoy the blessings!" ”

The father and daughter were talking, and Zhou and Zhao took Junwen Junshu and arranged the meal.

In mid-July, although the sun was still scorching at noon, the temperature was much cooler in the morning and evening, and I didn't feel stuffy when I ate in the house.

The Yang family's meals were placed in the hall. He lifted the square table in the middle of the nave to the middle of the room and pressed eight chairs and stools. Qiu Chen helped Mr. Yang out of the back room, Mr. Yang sat on the hand, Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong sat on the seats on the left and right of Mr. Yang, Qiu Chen pressed two small stools for Afu Aman, Yang Shumeng sat on Yang Shuyong's hand, Junwen Junshu sat on the stool at the door, responsible for serving tea and water, serving bowls and scooping rice.

Liu, with Zhou, Zhao, and Junyan, Junzhang, and Junli's three children, set up meals on the kang in the inner house.

This arrangement is also due to the habit of the daughter-in-law not going to the table, on the other hand, the married daughter is a guest when she returns to her parents' house, and in some homes it will be arranged to the big table, of course, it is also in the case that there are no outsiders at home.

Everyone sat down, Qiu Chen took the wine sieve set handed over by Junwen, this set of wine sieving pot is divided into wine pot and the outer sleeve, when using, pour hot water into the sleeve, and then put the wine bottle in, it can play the role of hot wine and heat preservation.

In modern times, there are very few people who drink wine hot. But Qiu Chen knew that wine was a thing that was originally a thing that diverged from great heat, and if it was drunk coldly, it would accumulate in his heart, and if it could not be dispersed as soon as possible, it would cause damage to his body. Warm wine, drunk in moderation, not only has no harm to the body, but also has a certain effect of relaxing the muscles and activating the body. If the right medicine is added, it can also treat many diseases such as rheumatism, cold legs, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

Therefore, when Qiu Chen went to choose the soap packaging that day, he fell in love with this set of sieving wine sets. There is also a more delicate sieving wine set in the porcelain shop, which is a purple sand wine pot with a purple sand small furnace of the same texture, such a stove is delicate and exquisite, but it is much more cumbersome, if someone serves it naturally, it is better, but it is only convenient for the old man to use it himself, or this kind of set of pots for pouring hot water is applicable.

Qiu Chen poured a small cup of wine for Old Man Yang and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Dad, you taste this wine, this is steamed for you by my eldest brother and second brother." ”

Just now, Qiu Chen had already told Old Man Yang about steaming wine, and when he said it at this time, Old Man Yang also knew what was going on, took it with a smile on his face, took a small sip, smashed it, tasted it, raised his eyes to look at Qi Qi's three children, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this wine is strong enough, but it is more blunt, if it is stored for a few more days, the taste will be more mellow!" ”

The Yang Shuyong brothers and sisters naturally nodded their heads again and again, and the old man Yang took a chopstick dish and ate it, squinting at the two smiling sons and said, "This is what you two brothers steamed, and the medicine in the wine is prepared by your sister, right?" Hmph, you two are still brothers! ”

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng hurriedly stood up, bowed down to admit their mistakes, and then Old Man Yang waved his hand to let go of the two brothers and continued to eat.

After eating, the Zhou family and the Zhao family cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the Qiu Chen brothers and sisters accompanied the two elders of the Yang family to talk on the kang, and the children also followed in.

When they just got off the bus, the family only cared about meeting and talking, and didn't care about the things brought by the resettlement. At this moment, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng took Junwen Junshu to move in all the things that Qiu Chen had brought in, and sent them directly to the suite in the east wing of the main house.

Qiu Chen and Liu entered the east suite, and the mother and daughter discussed, pulled out six thick cocoon silk, six muslin cloth, and two woodcut carved boxes from a pile of things, divided them into two piles, and took two thick cocoon silk and two muslin cloth and added them to one of the piles.

Just as he was about to take it out, he heard the noise of people outside the house, and the neighbors knew that Liu was coming back and came to visit the door.

Liu looked at Qiu Chen, and the mother and daughter came out of the inner suite. The Liu family and those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were chatting and talking, Qiu Chen didn't know anyone, so he just followed the Liu family, handed the tea and water, and served a plate of candied candy cubes, which naturally got another flattery.

Soon, those people sat down and chatted with Liu about the shortcomings of the family, Qiu Chen looked at the vacancy, beckoned Junwen Junshu into the inner suite, hugged two things, went out from the outer door of the inner suite, and beckoned Zhou and Zhao into the east wing.

The layout of the east chamber is imagined with the main house, the furniture is slightly neater, and the style is also new. However, Qiu Chen could also see with a sweep of his eyes that although the furniture in Liu's house was old, it was all thick and thick wood, and the furniture in Yang Shumeng's house was also new, and the wood was much worse.

Zhao beckoned people into the north room where they lived, Qiu Chen asked Junwen Junshu to put a few things on the kang, she handed the dim sum in her hand to Junwen, and asked him to take his younger brothers and sisters to find a place to eat dim sum and play. He also instructed Junwen to go to the main house to keep an eye on it, if Old Man Yang and the Liu family had any orders, everyone would not respond.

The children laughed and walked away, Qiu Chen pointed to the materials on the kang and smiled at Zhou and Zhao: "These materials are for the two sisters-in-law to make clothes, the eldest brother and the second brother and Junwen Junzhang are all made on my side, so I will no longer send them home." These horses are for Xiao Junli. In these two boxes, there is a set of heads and faces for the sisters-in-law. My vision is limited, sisters-in-law don't dislike it! ”

The Zhou family and the Zhao family were all happy, but they inevitably shirked it.

Zhou said: "It's not easy for you to get that money, why do you always spend so much money, a few days ago, didn't you let your eldest brother bring the material back?" I haven't gotten wet yet, and I'm short of clothes. Take it back and see if you can get it back...... You just can't return it, you can put it first, maybe you can use it elsewhere. ”

Zhao also followed: "Yes, Begonia, my sister-in-law and I don't go out when we are adults, so we go around the field at home, so haode material, even if it is for us, we can't wear it well, you still put it on hold, see if you can think of other uses!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Why can't you wear it, don't put it on the bottom of the box when you make it, just put it on." ”

Zhou and Zhao both laughed. Zhou's heart was honest, he took the box and opened it in front of everyone, looked at the finely made silver jewelry inside, and smiled brightly: "It's still my sister's vision, and the workmanship of this jewelry is not unpleasant." ”

After speaking, he closed the lid and pushed it back to Qiu Chen: "Sister, sister-in-law is not polite to you, but my sister should keep these jewelry for herself...... If you can't wear it, keep it for Man'er......"

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Chen's slippery bun, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Qiu Chen patted Zhou's hand, stopped her words, changed the topic and asked, "Is it okay for you to accept Luo Buma?" How much can I get in a day? Can you get busy? ”

Zhao and Zhou glanced at each other, and Zhao smiled and said, "It's good, it's good." The Rejuvenation Hall comes to transport it once every ten days, and the money is settled in person...... My sister-in-law and I also said, this matter is your face, we will be extra careful when we receive the goods, there are absolutely no dead branches and rotten leaves, no branches, stones and sand, and the shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Hall has come twice, only saying that we are worthy of a family, and this goods can be trusted. They don't have to worry about picking and drying when they go back, and they can directly formulate and grab medicine. ”

Zhou Shi also nodded in agreement, and lowered his voice with a happy face and said to Qiu Chen: "We can now collect more than 300 catties a day, and if we go to the capital and wages, our family can earn more than 20 taels of silver a day......"

Qiu Chen's gaze swept over the Zhao family, and seeing that the Zhao family's expression was calm and the same look of joy, he raised his hand and patted Zhou's hand, and said, "It's really a lot...... With so many goods, can the two sisters-in-law be busy? ”

Zhou looked at Zhao, both of them smiled and nodded, and Zhou said: "Yes, our father took the initiative to take over the bookkeeping work, and your second sister-in-law and I are only in charge of taking people to fry and dry goods...... More than 300 catties of goods are fried and dried, but more than 100 catties, where are you tired, you can rest assured! ”

The three sisters-in-law were chattering and chatting, and from time to time they heard the sound of footsteps in the yard, so someone greeted them and went straight into the main house.

This season is a small farmer, the farm work is not tired, the peasants are not so anxious to go to bed early at night, some even go to the street to enjoy the shade, and some go to the lively people to talk.

Begonia's mother's family is an old family in Yang's shop, Liu's, Zhou's and Zhao's are all good-natured, and the neighbors are also compatible, and now when I heard that Liu's daughter's house for more than a month finally came back, they all came to sit. As a result, the North House became lively.

People came and went, and it was lively until the end of the day, which dispersed one after another, Qiu Chen, Zhou, and Zhao heard the voice, and naturally wanted to come out to see each other, and after sending people away, Qiu Chen also returned to the main house. Zhao and Zhou went to boil hot water, cleaned up the beds and bedding for the children, and were busy sleeping for the family.

The Yang family is a five-room main house, the east and west are three wings, the two elders of the Yang family live in the east wing of the main house, Yang Shuyong and Zhou live in the west wing of the main house, Junwen Junshu Junyan brothers all live in the suite of the west wing of the main house, Yang Shumeng and Zhao live in the east wing, the husband and wife live in the north room, Junzhang Junli has also been living with his parents before, and the west wing is the kitchen and warehouse. Therefore, Qiu Chen's mother and son have two choices, one is in the east house suite where Qiu Chen lived before he got married, and the other is in the south room of the east wing.

Zhao smiled and came over to ask Qiu Chen: "Sister, I cleaned up the south house over there, you can take the child to the house to settle down!" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law, thank you for bothering." But I finally came back, and I wanted to talk to our father and mother more, so I squeezed on our father's kang, so I won't go to you. ”

Zhao smiled and said something, Yang Shu waved his hand violently, glared and reprimanded: "Our sister is willing to rely on her wherever she wants, you can't just move your haode futon to this house!" ”

Zhao reacted very quickly, and immediately clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Look at my stupid ...... Okay, okay, I'm going to move! ”

Zhou's was much slower, and seeing that Zhao was in a hurry, he also smiled and said, "My sister and our father and mother are talking in this house, and Afu Aman will leave it to me to take with you!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't agree, but turned his eyes to look at Afu Aman, who was playing next to him: "Is it okay for you to sleep with your aunt at night?" ”

Ah Fu looked at Qiu Chen and didn't speak, Ah Man looked at Qiu Chen, got up from the kang, moved his little short legs and threw himself into the arms of his aunt: "Man'er sleeps with his aunt." Man'er tells a story to her aunt! ”

Zhou's face bloomed with joy, hugged Aman and kissed him a few times, then simply didn't let go, and said to Qiu Chen: "Sister, then you talk to your father, I will take their brothers and sisters to wash and sleep, and after a day's car today, the two children are tired." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and looked at Ah Fu, who also smiled and nodded, got up and put his little hand into Zhou's outstretched big hand. Junli also followed with a smile: "Da Xian, I will sleep with you too!" ”

Zhou raised his hand and touched Junli's little head, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all three of you follow me!" ”

Turning his face to Liu and Qiu Chen, he said: "Look at this flesh and blood, it's different, this little one is so old, no one can do without anyone!" ”

Old Man Yang and Liu were full of joy and relief when they watched this scene, Qiu Chen also smiled and watched Fu'er Man'er Junli follow Zhou's family, Ah Man was detained in Zhou's arms and never came down, and when he went out of the house, Xiaozu'er began to chatter, so that Zhou's laughter came straight from the West House.

Liu patted Qiu Chen's hand and said: "This little girl is really a heart-eyed bun, this heart has a lot of eyes, so many children are big and small, and they have not pressed her." ”

Qiu Chen only laughed when he listened.

Soon Zhao hugged the two beds of futon that were noisy and soft, and when he heard that Ah Fu Aman had gone to the West House, he immediately smiled and sent another futon over there.

Qiu Chen saw it in his eyes and didn't say much.

There are only five members of the Yang family left in this house, Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong Yang Shumeng told Old Man Yang about the children's schooling, I heard that even Junwen is very serious about studying, Old Man Liu is really happy in his heart.

Although their Yang family was born to drive a big car, their ancestors also had a small property, and they were also lifted in the great-grandparents of Begonia. It's just that since then, the Yang family has fallen in the middle of the road, the talent has withered, and Haitang's father has also read books for five or six years, and when he reaches Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng, he can only take care of making a living and cannot afford to go to school. It's just that this study has always been a wish of the old man Yang, watching his grandchildren grow up day by day, he was always ashamed and regretful before, but now with his daughter's help, the grandchildren can go to school to study, and I heard that the top one is very hard-working, and the old man is naturally very happy.

Although Junwen Junshu is really older, it is almost impossible to take the road of scientific examination, but those who can read, write, and count are of great use even if they don't go to school!

Huanhuan happily said for half an hour, Yang Shuyong Yang Shumeng left, Qiu Chen came in with hot water, Liu took it, and waited for Old Man Yang to wash his hands and face and feet, Qiu Chen also went to the inner suite to scrub it, changed into a soft cotton shirt and pants, and then turned back, followed Old Man Yang and Liu, and slept on the kang.

After lying down, the mother and daughter talked for a long time, and Zuihou didn't know who fell asleep first, and when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already transparent.

Qiu Chen got up and saw that the kang head was empty, and Old Man Yang and Liu had already gotten up and went out.

Slightly stunned, Qiu Chen showed a smile, simply lay down stretched, looked at the yellowed ceiling, and said silently in his heart: Begonia, your father, mother, sister-in-law and nephews are very good, I will treat them well in the future, you can rest assured.

After lying down for a while, Qiu Chen also got up and got off the kang.

Liu Shi heard the movement and walked in with a basin of water: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled comfortably: "This time I really slept enough." If I go back to sleep, the kids will laugh at me! ”

After freshening up, Qiu Chen took out a moon-white shirt and an indigo skirt from his baggage, and put it on, his hair was still tied at the back of his head, but he picked out a little emerald silver hairpin and put it on.

looked at it, his clothes did not violate his identity as a new widow, and he was not too plain, which made the old man feel depressed on his birthday.

When I went out, I saw that the old man Yang was fiddling with a bean in the yard, wearing a white shirt and pants, the hair bun on the top of his head was gray, his body was thin, and his face was ruddy.

Qiu Chen looked at it and was happy in his heart, the old man was in good shape, and she could also do a few more years of filial piety for Begonia. In other words, in fact, she herself is extremely satisfied with being able to have a pair of healthy and kind parents, two pairs of simple and kind brothers and sisters-in-law, she herself is satisfied with this strong family affection, and she is also greedy for this more or less empty warmth.

Breakfast is Liu's first morning kitchen personally rolled longevity noodles, the old man Yang changed a gray cocoon silk longevity character straight out, sitting in the middle of the hall, the Yang brothers and sisters respectively took their own family to kowtow to the old man to celebrate his birthday, and sent the birthday gifts prepared by each family.

What Zhou gave was a pair of mille-feuille shoes with fine stitches and black triangular fabric; Zhao sent him a bronze jacket that he would soon wear. Qiu Chen presented a pearl lambskin, ripe brown longevity pattern jacquard satin leather jacket. Old Man Yang smiled, took it one by one, and handed it to Liu to put away. and gave red envelopes to a group of children under Junwen, and the family happily sat down to eat noodles.

After eating noodles, Liu took Zhou's and Zhao's two daughters-in-law and began to prepare ingredients for lunch.

Qiu Chen had already inquired with the Liu family, and the old man Yang had a birthday, because it was not a full birthday, and it was estimated that there would not be many guests who came, that is, a few people in the village who had close contacts, as well as the people from the little aunt's family, the mother's family of the Liu family, the Zhou family, and the Zhao family...... A maximum of two tables are sufficient.

Qiu Chen didn't know these people, but he was even more unhurried. I don't know each other, and there is no estrangement from close relatives, so she just follows the Zhou family and the Zhao family to deal with it.

It's just that she and the Yang family never expected that not long after breakfast, the Yang family suddenly came to a team of uninvited guests......

------Off topic------

Without saying anything, he bowed and crawled away......
