082 Waijia
This time I went to Li's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Cheng Changqing's family brought a lot of gifts. But I didn't deliberately buy anything, I just brought what I had at home.
The family collected a large basket full of eggs, as well as some salted fish and chicken, and even homemade pickles and chili sauce.
Finally, I also brought a few jars of various snacks made of goat's milk.
The little ewe in the family is very competitive, and the little brother of the harvest year also serves it carefully every day, so it continues to produce milk. Now that it's winter, Cheng Changqing vacated the pigsty and kept it for tomorrow to raise pigs, and built a cattle pen and a sheepfold in the corner of his yard, which were covered with clean hay, and cleaned them every day, which was both warm and breathable.
Therefore, the daily feeding of goat's milk at home has never stopped. Cheng Zhaoer is also full of tricks, milk tea, custard, soufflé and so on every day, as long as she remembers the production method, she takes it out to try to make it.
Yuanyuan and plugs are no longer as thin and yellow as before, and now they are all meaty, like two pieces of tender tofu. The rest of the family has also benefited a lot, Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian are gradually getting stronger now, Cheng Changqing and Li are not only younger, but Li's cold hands and feet in winter are also much better
Naturally, you have to bring some of this good thing to your grandparents' family.
In addition to these foods, Cheng Zhaoer also filled a jar of MSG, which was praised by the two uncles before.
Because Cheng Zhaoer made cotton clothes for the second elder this year, the Li family did not make other clothes, but Cheng Changqing brought three or five pieces of furniture.
The large pieces of furniture have actually been taken back by Li Junping a few years ago, and now there are still a few small dressers left. These were made by Cheng Changqing until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Today, I just brought it over.
Coincidentally, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle both have two children, the eldest uncle's family has two sons, and the eldest son Li Zhibin is twenty-three this year, married to his wife Wu, and the two also have a son. His name is Li Bowen. The family calls him Little Mosquito, and now he is only four years old, about the same age as Fengnian's little brother. Now Wu is pregnant again. Some time ago, my uncle said that it would be good if I had a granddaughter.
The second son is Li Zhijie, who is the most talented in reading, he is the youngest in the Li family, and he is only fifteen years old this year. According to my grandfather, he has been very smart since he was a child. Don't talk about Xiucai next year, Tong Sheng should be nine out of ten.
The brother-in-law's family is a son and a daughter, and the eldest son, Li Zhitao, is the second in the family, and he is also twenty-three this year. It's just that he is two months younger than Li Zhibin and marries his wife Pi. also has a son named Li Boyi. The family handed him a small meat ball, and he is now three and a half years old. I love to eat it very much, it is white and round, just like a meat dumpling.
The daughter, Li Zhilan, is seventeen years old this year and is the third in the family. It's also a coincidence, after the New Year, in the first month, Li Zhilan is also going to get married, and the family who married is also from Shimo Town, surnamed Jia, and the family also runs a grocery store, and the aunt born in the Jia family lives in Hailang Village, where Li's mother's house is located, so it is said that it is on the media.
Cheng Changqing is generous, Cheng Xueer is going to get married, this niece is also going to get married, anyway, he wants to make furniture, so he said very heroically that all the furniture in Li Zhilan's dowry is out of his uncle. Li naturally did not disagree, for her husband to do such an act, she, as an aunt, in addition to feeling that there was light on her face, was also very happy.
Originally, Li Junping and the Sun family must also buy furniture for their daughter, anyway, they acted as an agent for Cheng Changqing's furniture, and if they chose a set of furniture that suited their hearts, they would treat it as if they bought it themselves, and it was decent and beautiful to buy a set of furniture for Li Zhilan, but before he could say this, Cheng Changqing released his words over there.
Li Junping and Sun really felt a little embarrassed in their hearts, after all, these were worth a lot of silver, and in the end, it was Li who persuaded them, and they agreed. The relationship between the two families has improved.
Moreover, Cheng Zhaoer also felt that these were all his own sisters, and he had to be cautious about the big things once in a lifetime, so he specially designed two sets of new models, this time Cheng Zhaoer added some European elements for the first time, Cheng Xueer couldn't put it down when she saw the drawings, and listened to Li Junping say that Li Zhilan also liked it very much. When Cheng Zhao'er heard this, she was relieved.
Today, this dresser and other furniture are the last few pieces in that set, and there are only a few days left, Li Zhilan is about to get married, so he happened to bring it over today.
By the time the ox cart had been gone for a few hours, when they arrived at Hailang Village, my grandfather and grandmother were already standing outside the door waiting.
Cheng Zhaoer took a closer look and found that heredity is really a magical thing, except for the two uncles and grandfathers who look very similar, the three sons of the uncle are very similar to the little mosquito and the little meat ball, and they are not so similar when they look closely, but, at first glance, others will never suspect that they are a family.
And Li Zhilan, that is simply a copy of the Li family, looks much more like the Li family than Cheng Xueer and Cheng Zhaoer, it is conceivable that twenty years later, Li Zhilan is what the Li family is now.
The eldest aunt Wang and the younger uncle Sun saw that everyone was coming, and immediately took Yuanyuan and the plug away one by one. Li also brought the little mosquito and the small meat ball to his side, and Li Junan and Li Junping helped Cheng Changqing take down the things on the ox cart.
The three brothers Li Zhibin also went to entertain Cheng Changqing and the Li family.
After Cheng Xueer and Cheng Zhaoer greeted their grandparents, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law one by one, they were pulled by the two sisters-in-law and Li Zhilan to chat.
Li Zhilan is one year younger than Cheng Zhaoer, and Cheng Zhaoer will be eighteen years old after the New Year. And Li Zhilan is only seventeen, it is the most tender age, although Li Zhilan looks similar to Li, his personality is different, Li is reasonable and generous, but his personality is softer, although it does not reach the level of "bun", but she essentially rejects things like quarrels and disputes.
And Li Zhilan is different, just look at her eyes, she knows that she is slippery, speaks straightforwardly and heartily, laughs heroically, and looks like a person who is not easy to mess with, if she is allowed to be reasonable, she will be unforgiving at first glance. Xu is a girl at home, living with her brother every day, so she is more like a boy. However, it is very easy to get along with, and Cheng Zhaoer feels very good about his spleen and stomach.
And Wu and Pi also get along well with Cheng Xueer and Cheng Zhaoer. The Wu family is more introverted, and the Pi family is more lively, but looking at their words and deeds, it is obvious that the relationship with the two mothers-in-law Wang and Sun is quite harmonious, and they are also intimate with their grandmother Qian.
The Li family has actually split up, and the two uncles are fully capable of buying another house and living in another place, but because of the good relationship between the family, and the reluctance of the Qian family and Li Ruida to leave the house they have been living in. Therefore. Li Junping and Li Junan have been living together.
Today, the two sons of Li Junping and Li Junan also continue this tradition, and the eldest uncle Li Junan said a few days ago. You have to buy the foundation behind the house and build a few more large houses
At noon, my grandmother made a meal, and the family ate happily, although it was divided into two tables. But there is no occasion where you are not allowed to speak, although Li Ruida has a fiery pursuit of reading that ordinary people cannot understand. However, in fact, in home life, sour gas is not very heavy.
Cheng Zhaoer sometimes feels that Li Ruida can be transformed into what he is now. There is no blame for her and Cheng Xue'er, the two women who are reconciled, only comfort, ignoring the habit of eating and sleeping silently, and turning a blind eye to the female precepts of three obedience and four virtues. Grandma Qian has made a lot of contributions.
Probably one thing is one thing, and this saying comes from it. I heard Li say that in addition to reading, this matter is my grandfather's obsession. No one can say anything. My grandfather listened to my grandmother all my life, and my grandmother pointed out that he didn't dare to go west, and he didn't dare to face north when my grandmother went south.
And Qian herself is a very open-minded person, Cheng Zhaoer feels that her grandmother has some ideas that are more avant-garde and tolerant than her, a person who has traveled through thousands of years.
At the dinner table, Cheng Zhaoer glanced at Li Zhijie carefully, this baby is only fifteen years old, and he still looks childish, but next year...... Oh, no, it's already this year, and he's actually going to take the Xiucai exam.
I heard my uncle also mention that Li Zhijie's knowledge was full of praise from the masters in their school.
As soon as Wang looked up, he found Cheng Zhao'er staring at Li Zhijie in a daze, so he smiled and said, "Zhao'er, don't you know your cousin Zhijie?" ”
Cheng Zhaoer came back to her senses and said truthfully: "I just think it's incredible, how old is Zhijie, and he has been tested for Xiucai?" ”
Li Ruida said proudly: "Zhao'er doesn't know, your cousin Zhijie is smart, with my tutoring, there is still a great chance of being admitted this year." ”
When Li Shi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Dad, what you said is true? So our Zhijie is very sure this time? "Her eldest brother always said that this time he just let Zhijie try, a very unsound look, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
If her nephew can be admitted, she will be an aunt, not to mention how beautiful she is.
Li Zhijie waved his hand and said modestly: "Auntie said that she laughed, this exam is a big deal, and you will never dare to say that you are sure that Zhijie will never dare to say it." ”
Cheng Changqing also smiled: "Zhijie should be humble, your master said that you have a great chance of success."
Li Zhijie still shook his head, his face turned red, and he looked very unaccustomed to others praising him like this. His two elder brothers, Li Zhibin and Li Zhitao, are also bad-hearted, they both have children, and they are still teasing this younger brother, in the end, Li Zhijie was so amused that he could only desperately bow his head and pick up the rice, and never spoke again, anyway, he couldn't talk about them alone.
The female dependents didn't make a fuss, that is, looking at this scene with a smile, Sun smiled and said: "If our Zhijie becomes a talented master, our family's fields will be exempt from taxes in the future." ”
shouted at Li Zhijie, who was at the other table, and said, "Zhijie, you have to take the test well, if you pass the test, the second aunt will make your favorite leek pie." ”
Wang picked up a fish bone with chopsticks and threw it in front of Sun, and scolded with a smile: "Look at you as an aunt, what's the matter, your nephew lacks you a leek pie, no matter what, you have to eat ten meals."
Sun nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Cheng, as long as Zhijie doesn't dislike it." ”
……
The family laughed, and soon the time passed, and when it was the next day, the whole family went back and naturally brought another ox cart of seafood.
When leaving, Sun also privately said that next time she would bring more flavor powder, she, a person who is not very good at cooking, used this today like a chef, this flavor powder is really amazing. And the Wang family has a special preference for goat's milk, and asked Cheng Zhaoer to come back next time when his uncle or uncle goes to Cheng's house.
Grandma laughed and scolded the two daughters-in-law for being two greedy cats
Cheng Zhaoer agreed, and dragged the little brother Fengnian who tried to stay at home and went back.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Xueer put on a wedding dress and got married, and since then she has been the daughter-in-law of the Han family. Actually, if it is said that it is gone, it is only a matter of a few steps, after Cheng Xueer got married, she and Han Yi still came back often, but it was no different from not marrying.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Zhaoer's Tingzhuxuan opened, and on the day of the opening, Cheng Changqing's family set up a banquet in Shimo Town, invited Ouyang Jing, Cao Shopkeeper, and a group of people from Heping Village to the patriarch, and Li's mother's family had a meal.
On the twelfth day of the first month, the Cheng family rushed to Li's mother's house for a banquet, and Li Zhilan got married.
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Li Junping, Li Junan and Li Ruida, Li Zhijie's mother's family, accompanied Li Zhijie to Changshun City, and in early February, Li Zhijie wanted to take the county examination here, taking the first step on the road to Xiucai.
On the same day, Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian brothers were sent to the school, which is the clan of the Han family in Heping Village. Since then, I have lived a student life with a day off every ten years.
On the nineteenth day of the first month, Cheng Ronggeng's daughter-in-law Zhao suddenly fainted when she was eating at home, and invited a doctor to come over and found out that she was pregnant
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Cheng Ronggeng couldn't resist the urging of his family, and finally reluctantly said goodbye to his pregnant wife, and was accompanied by Cheng Changgui to Changshun City to participate in the county examination.
Originally, Cheng Changqing's family had not heard any news, but on the day Zhao was found to be pregnant, Cheng Changqing's family knew that Cheng Ronggeng was going to take the exam. It was the result of Zhou's special door-to-door notification.
Nowadays, Zhou's walk in Heping Village is windy, firstly, her daughter-in-law born in a rich and noble family is about to give her a grandson, and secondly, it is naturally Cheng Ronggeng, Cheng Ronggeng is the only person in Heping Village who went to take the Xiucai exam this year, for Zhou, this is the performance of her son's ability.
Now, the entire Zhou family of Heping Village has been informed that her Cheng family's third room is about to have a talented master
Cheng Zhao'er listened to it as a gossip, and she didn't take it in her heart at all, she really didn't take Sanfang seriously, at most she listened to it as a rare thing, it really wouldn't affect her mood. Now, listening to the opening of Zhuxuan for only ten days, the business is surprisingly hot, probably because no matter the layout of the store, or the way of entertaining guests, it is clever, which makes people feel refreshed, Cheng Zhaoer and Cheng Changqing only hate that there are no twenty-four hours a day, where do they care about these?
