Chapter 123: Distant relatives in the mountains

However, it was said that the Zhao family shop at this time had passed the morning rush hour, and there were only a few sporadic guests left in the shop.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do, Zhao Yongzhong pondered for a long time, and then summoned the family over and informed the message from the old Zhao family.

"I'm going to you, I don't have that much time to spare!" Zhao Sanniang flatly refused.

Lao Zhao's family actually invited his family back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? What the hell is this? Cut, it's definitely no good to go back!

Not only Zhao Sanniang thinks so, but even the Jiang family and Zhao Sanlang brothers also think so.

However, seeing that her husband kept rubbing his hands and his face was full of embarrassment, Jiang hurriedly gave Zhao Sanniang a look.

"Actually, I really want to go back and see our grandma. It's just ......" Zhao Sanniang had to change her words, and casually made up an excuse: "It's just that the last batch of sweet sauce said that it was not authentic enough, and I made a few more cylinders, and it is estimated that it will be ready in the next two days, and my mother and I have to keep it every inch, and I really can't leave!" ”

"Not really! Seeing that the sky is getting hot, we have to hurry up to see if the sweet sauce has been made this time, and if it is, we will make a few more jars while the weather is still cold. In the first year of doing pickle business, I didn't dare to make sauce in the summer! Jiang Shi hurriedly added.

"Mm-hmm, sweet sauce is important, you can't be sloppy. It's done, sweet pickles, sweet cucumbers, sweet pickles ginger sprouts, sweet pickles radish, sweet sauces...... Well, what's the sweet sauce? Zhao Shilang tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "No matter what the sweet sauce is, it will only be made with sweet sauce anyway!" We have to watch, but we can't go back to Zhaojia Village. ”

Zhao Sanlang, who had been silent, also nodded silently.

No one wants to let go of a good life, but go back and ask for their own hardships.

"The pickle business can't be delayed, but Zhaojia Village is not far away, isn't it? It's enough to go back for half a day to celebrate the festival, and it won't hinder anything. Didn't we say it before? After you earn money, you should prepare more etiquette and honor your grandmother. Now that we've made a lot of money, it's time to say it. Zhao Yongzhong persuaded with a flattering face.

Zhao Yongzhong is no longer so stupid and filial, and now his heart is full of sincere care for his wife and children, and what he is most worried about is his eldest daughter who is far away in Yanjing. However, he always felt that people could not forget their roots, even if the old couple made a thousand mistakes, it was the parents who gave birth to him and raised him. Today, his father has sent a message to invite, and as a son, he can't help but go back and do his filial piety.

"Daddy. You can do a lot of work in half a day! Now we have a Zhao family shop, a duck farm, a workshop, and a shop in the town. Keep your hands and feet busy all day! Look at it again, Siniang and Sister Yuan Niang are trapped in the county town in order to discuss business, and they haven't been home for several days! Don't talk about others, are you embarrassed to ask them to waste Chenguang and go back to Lao Zhao's house? "Zhao Sanniang carried it to the end, but she didn't go.

Jiang Shi Wen Yan was relieved: "Yes." We really can't leave. However, don't worry, my father, I'm going to do a Boxing ceremony, and we won't give less gifts. Aren't you going to deliver to the shops in town later? Just bring the gift to Yongxiao and let him take it back. As for people, it's gone. I believe that my father and mother also know that it is not easy for us to make a living outside, and they will definitely be able to understand us as juniors. ”

Back then, the Jiang family was the most virtuous, but they would never be able to do something like "not being polite to the people", which might be picked on by the old Zhao family. But now after Zhao Siniang's long-term education. Thinking back to what the old Zhao family did to her eldest daughter, the Jiang family didn't want to deal with those people anymore, if they could, they would never see each other again for the rest of their lives. Sending it to the door to find yourself uncomfortable? I'm sorry, she's really not happy.

The words have come to this, but Zhao Sanlang noticed that the eagerness on Zhao Yongzhong's face had not disappeared, and he knew that his father really wanted to go back. He was about to open his mouth to dispel his father's little thoughts, when he heard a crisp inquiry from the door: "Excuse me, is Grandpa Jiang here?" ”

"It's Miss Yuan! My grandfather just went to his house. What's wrong with you? It's the same with me. Hey? What are you and Chunying back on? Could it be bamboo shoots? It's all this time, why are there still bamboo shoots? Huh? Why is there a little girl hiding behind? Is this your sister? Alas, I'm finally willing to go out, that's good! By the way, her name is Chunhua. Or is it called spring grass? Zhao Sanlang asked anxiously.

Zhao Sanlang, who is usually silent, is really "a blockbuster", under his barrage of questions, not only Yuan Chunfang, who came to thank his younger siblings, was asked, but even the Zhao family was stunned, and the extremely shy little girl was even more frightened by this sudden enthusiasm and shrank behind her eldest sister's back.

Zhao Sanniang was the first to react. laughed and scolded: "The words have been finished by you alone, what do you still want people to say?" However, she could probably guess Zhao Sanlang's intentions, so she hurriedly supported his father: "Dad, why haven't you called your grandfather back?" Miss Yuan's sisters and brothers have walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and there must be very important things to discuss with their grandfather, but they can't make the family wait too long! ”

Hearing this, before Zhao Yongzhong could respond, Yuan Chunfang hurriedly wanted to show that he was not in a hurry, and there was no need to send someone to call back Old Man Jiang. However, when she saw Zhao Sanlang winking at him, she didn't open her mouth.

Jiang Shi also reacted, and hurriedly said: "His father, don't go quickly!" ”

Zhao Yongzhong saw that his wife and children were urging him very much, and he was also worried that people were really in a hurry, so he went in a hurry.

As soon as Zhao Yongzhong left on the front foot, Zhao Sanniang invited Yao Xiufen, who was busy in the back, to ask her aunt to greet the Yuan family sisters and brothers, and she took her mother to the festival, and she couldn't wait to give this matter immediately.

If you want to talk about the job of entertaining guests, you can't send Yao to it on weekdays. But now Jiang's mother and daughter are not empty, and it just so happened that the Jiang family was going to treat Jiang Hua at night in order to celebrate Jiang Hua's recovery, and Jiang Yue'e stayed at home to help.

Yao has stood at the counter for a few months, and she is no longer the shy little daughter-in-law she was at the beginning, and now she has basically no pressure to deal with aunts and aunts. It's just that it's treating customers, bidding and bargaining, and she always has something to say. really entertained the Yuan sisters and brothers, and after serving the tea and handing out the water, she was stuck.

As for the Yuan sisters and brothers, today they came to thank each other, and they asked for something. It's just that they owe the Jiang family too much these days, and they are not the thick-faced people, and seeing that the Yao family doesn't take the initiative to speak, they can't open their mouths.

Originally, there was a little girl of the same age as himself among the Yuan sisters and brothers, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who was just a young age. But at this time, there was not a single guest in the shop, and the huge hall fell into silence, which made people feel embarrassed.

Zhao Sanlang quietly pushed Zhao Shilang, who was standing stupidly, Zhao Shilang turned his head stupidly, and then- did not move.

"Miss Yuan......" Zhao Sanlang deeply felt that he didn't say as much as he said in one day today.

And what is the origin of the sisters and brothers who talked to Zhao Sanlang? It's a long story.

It turns out that these children of the Yuan family are relatives of the Jiang family, but which relatives are they? I'm afraid that the Jiang family will have to work hard to figure it out. I thought that when the Yuan family came to the door to look for relatives that day, the Jiang family happened to be in the shop, but as soon as she heard that they were relatives of the Jiang family, she was stunned - what? Are there any other relatives in my mother's family that I don't even know? Or do you have any relatives in your mother's family?

The most prosperous thing in Jiangjiatan, where Jiang's mother's family is located, is their Jiang family, and it can be said that as long as it is a family surnamed Jiang, they are more or less related to each other. However, the branch where her family is located has few descendants, and since her grandfather's generation, it has become a single lineage, so the Jiang family now has almost no relatives.

It is unlikely that the Yuan family is a relative from the Jiang family, so could it be a relative from the Jiang family? It's impossible to think about. Because the Yang family fled to Jiangjiatan with her family, and then was half sold and half sent by her father to stay in Jiang's family, her family has died in the troubled times, even if she doesn't die, she doesn't know where she has drifted to, how can there be relatives who come to the door?

However, the ancients said it well: no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. In the past, when the Jiang family was struggling on the poverty line, the shadow of half of their relatives was gone, and even their in-laws walked around when they saw them. Now that the Jiang family has opened a shop and is wider, the Yuan family, who is far away in the mountains, is thinking about this relative-his family is really a relative, but it is a little far.

It turned out that Jiang's grandfather was a good lineage, but her grandfather had no brothers, but he had an older sister, and this sister, that is, Mr. Jiang's aunt, married into the Yuan family and is still alive today. The aunt heard that her nephew's life was good, but her own life was really bad, so she asked her children and grandchildren to come to Jiang's house for help.

Don't say that the kinship relationship is already far away, even if the closest relatives have not moved for decades, will people still help one or two? Regardless of how the Jiang family will react, first of all, the Yuan family will beat the drum in their hearts. But seeing that life couldn't go on, he still went to the door with his face on his face, thinking that even if he could get dozens of big money in help.

Fortunately, Old Man Jiang did not disappoint the Yuan family, and it can even be said that the old man's reaction really made them overjoyed. When Old Man Jiang learned that they were his aunt's family, he immediately went to Yuan's house to visit his aunt who had been sick in bed for a long time.

It's just a distant relative, why does Old Man Jiang value it so much? It turned out that his father's vein was not so thin as it was, but life was too hard, and his father's younger siblings died early one after another. And his father's eldest sister, that is, this aunt, after the death of her parents, in order to keep his father, the last bloodline of the Jiang family, waited for his father to grow up before getting married. It's just that at that time, she had already passed the flower letter, and she had no decent dowry, so she had no choice but to marry a poor family in Jiangbei. Every time he thought about it, his father was sad, and even before he died, he was still thinking about this sister. Therefore, although Mr. Jiang has never met his aunt, he has always hoped to fulfill his father's last wish. Now that he has this opportunity, how can he not do his part? (To be continued.) )
