Parents are all the same, always afraid that their children will suffer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I took A-Niang's hand, leaned on her knee, and said, "No, no." Lan Sheng, doesn't he have official business to be busy? I'm about to go to Pingjiang to take up a post, so it's inconvenient to come back with me. After a pause, he said: "He was worried about his father and mother, so let me say hello to you for him, and brought a calligraphy and painting to my father." ”

A-Niang nodded, and then reprimanded me: "The name of the husband, don't shout at the woman's house, it seems to be unruly." ”

"It's fine," I said with a smile, "that's what I called it in his presence." ”

A-Niang frowned.

Liangyuan moved a pestle to me, and I hurriedly said to her: "You can sit too, don't stand." ”

She smiled and sat down in her chair. Ah Niang asked me, "Then how are you getting along with your mother-in-law at your husband's house?" ”

"It's fine." I struggled to pull out a laugh. Daddy and Auntie were already sad about their eldest brother's affairs, and I didn't want them to worry about me anymore. And I don't want to involve this family in the matter between me and my mother-in-law.

A-Niang nodded and said, "You told me before that your two sisters-in-law are out of the cabinet, and you and your mother-in-law are not difficult to get along with, since your mother-in-law is your husband's mother, treat her like me, just be filial, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes." I shouted, but I didn't want my mother to continue on this topic.

A-Niang's expression was a little more solemn, and said: "You come back this time, I need to tell you something, originally your father wanted to write to you about this, I thought that since you are already married, this matter has not yet been settled, so I didn't let him write." ”

I pursed my lips and said softly, "Does my mother mean the matter of the eldest brother?" ”

"You heard about it so soon?" A-Niang said in surprise.

"I didn't hear that," I shook my head, and added, "the third brother wrote to tell me. Why can't I know such a thing? Although I am married, I am still from the Zhu family. ”

A-Niang patted my hand and said softly, "Isn't it bad for your husband's family to know about this?" ”

"They won't know, I didn't tell them." I comforted my mother.

I only told Lan Sheng about the eldest brother, and Lan Sheng promised me that he would not tell anyone else.

A-Niang sighed again: "Your eldest brother...... What a conscienceless thing. Left a letter and left, not saying where to go or what to do. As he spoke, some tears welled up in his eyes.

Liangyuan glanced at me a little helplessly, thinking that it was because A-Niang had this description when she mentioned her eldest brother these days.

I wrapped my hands around A-Niang's hand and said, "Mother, eldest brother, he may be because he has his own plans, and it is not good to tell you and his father, so he doesn't say goodbye, you relax, although I haven't found my eldest brother now, but in the future, eldest brother he will definitely contact the family." ”

"Contact what?" A-Niang said indignantly, "If he doesn't come back, I won't recognize him as a son." After a pause, he said sadly: "That's it, if he still has me as a mother in his heart, how could he leave like this?" ”

I put my head on her hand and said, "Didn't Zhangzhu come back to accompany my mother?" Mother, don't be sad. ”

"Don't be sad, don't be sad." A-Niang said, "The palm bead is back, I'm happy." ”

I straightened up, looked at the door, and said, "Where are my father and third brother?" ”

A-Niang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your father went to see your Master Bai." ”

"Oh," I asked again, "Master, how is he lately?" ”

Ah Niang shook her head and said, "It is precisely because Master Bai has contracted a disease recently that your father went to visit him." ”

"Sick?" I exclaimed, "Is Master okay then?" ”

"It's nothing now, your dad is going to see him for the third time. Although Master Bai has many friends, only your father is the closest to him. At this time, your father naturally has to take care of him more. Moreover, when you were a child, Master Bai took care of you a lot. ”

I was silent, and after a while, I said, "It just so happens that I'm also back, let's go see Master in a few ****." ”

"Okay, you can plan for yourself." A-Niang said.

I asked again, "What about the third brother?" Where did it go? "This stinky boy won't be as playful as before, will he?

"My family opened a pen and ink shop near the drum tower, and I would like to go there, and I guess I will return after a while." A-Niang said.

I couldn't help snickering, and teased in my heart: "When did the third brother get into business?" ”

A-Niang said again: "I wish this child, the pen and ink articles are very bad, and your father has to open a shop for him to take care of." Feng Lin is a person who can read, but unfortunately, he doesn't follow the official career. ”

I comforted my aunt and said, "The third brother likes to make friends on weekdays, so he may be suitable to be the boss." Mother, don't worry too much. ”

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." A-Niang sighed.

At this time, a maid came in and said, "Old lady, dinner is ready." He was stunned for a moment, and then said to me: "The second lady is back, and the slave and maid don't know at all, it's really a dereliction of duty." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." I smiled and asked my aunt again, "Where are we going to have dinner?" ”

"Let's go to the hall, I always feel that the hall is open and cooler."

Liangyuan and I walked beside A-Niang on the left and right, and as soon as we got out of the yard, we saw the figure of the third brother.

He hurriedly stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said, "Sister Zhu, I said that you will come back in less than two days." Then he said to Liangyuan: "How is it?" Am I right? ”

Liang Yuan annoyed a little face and said, "Didn't I say the same thing?" ”

The third brother smiled, moved to Liangyuan's side and walked forward together, leaned over and said to me: "Sister Zhu just came back, brother, I can't wait for my sister at home, and I hope my sister won't be angry." ”

I teased him: "The third brother is a person who does big things, so he must be busy with things." ”

The third brother replied: "Sister Zhu, don't be sarcastic about me, just ask your mother and Liangyuan, brother, I have recently become a weapon." ”

I smiled and said, "I have heard all your glorious deeds told by my mother." He added: "Why do you, a person who doesn't like dancing and writing, like to open a pen and ink shop?" ”

"That's different." The third brother said, "Anyway, the business in the shop is very good, although the shop was opened at my father's expense, but I always have a share of the credit in it." ”

"Yes, the third brother has a great credit." I said, "Now that you've opened a pen and ink shop, let's do a good business, okay?" ”

"Of course." The third brother replied simply.

We talked and laughed all the way, and before we knew it, we were in the dining room. The four of them sat down around the dining table, and A-Niang asked the kitchen to scald a pot of Jinhua wine and brought it over.

There was a plate of sauce elbow on the table, which was the third brother's favorite food. Xu was happy tonight, so he also talked about the number of etiquette, and used chopsticks to clip a piece for A-Niang first, then a piece for me, and finally a piece for Liangyuan.

While everyone was eating, Liangyuan suddenly leaned her head on the table, looking very uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
