The three of them were surprised that a distant guest had come to the old mansion, and they couldn't guess who it was. When I walked to the yard to be careful, I heard the sound of talking coming from the upper house, which was mixed with Zhou's laughter, and there was a female voice that was somewhat similar to Zhou's voice. At this moment, the three masters were even more surprised, what kind of person could make the Zhou family talk and laugh?

Because it was extremely cold and windy today, the door to the outhouse was closed, so it was not discovered until the three of them pushed the door and walked into the outhouse.

Jiang Shi was in the outhouse with the big girl, who seemed to have just boiled water, and was carrying a teapot to refill the water. Seeing that the three of them were coming, Jiang was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"The fourth uncle is here! Seeing that I was so busy, I didn't care about anything else, and I didn't go out to greet me. The fourth uncle sat in the house. Jiang Shi smiled, pulled Niuniu to his side, and asked her to call someone, "Niuniu, call the fourth grandfather, as well as Aunt Man'er, Seventh Uncle, didn't you still talk about it just now?" said that I miss your Aunt Man'er and Uncle Seven. ”

"Fourth grandfather, Aunt Man'er, seventh uncle......" The eldest girl was cleaned up very neatly by Jiang's family, and her short hair was tied twice, some delicately, and a little shy, leaning on Jiang's thighs and whispering.

"Got a guest at home?" Lian Shouxin asked while responding.

"It's my third aunt and third aunt's husband who are here." Jiang said with a smile.

After this time, the house should have heard the sound of talking outside, and there was the sound of Si Xi Suosuo, and then Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu hurriedly came out.

Lian Shouxin was in front, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi were behind, and even the step-ancestor opened the door curtain, and the three of them entered the east house.

Even the old man and a middle-aged man stood under the edge of the kang, and there were two teenagers, a man and a woman, standing behind them, obviously just coming down from the kang. was about to come out but hadn't come out yet, and there was a middle-aged woman who had just broken free from Zhou's hand and stood under the kang.

Only Zhou, cross-legged and straight-waisted, sat motionless on the kang.

Because of what the Jiang family said just now, Lian Shouxin immediately judged that several of the guests in the house were the Xiao Zhou family mentioned by the Zhang family a few days ago.

"It's the third aunt and the third aunt who are here!" Lian Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward.

Before Lian Shouxin could make any further moves, Shang Huaide, who was standing with the old man, also took a step forward and made a gesture to salute. The boys and girls who followed him saw it. and bowed. Xiao Zhou was pulled by Zhou.

Of course, Lian Shouxin would not let Shang Huaide salute him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Shang Huaide. Even the old man was beside him, and he grabbed one of Shang Huaide's arms.

"Huaide, although the fourth child is an official, this is at home. You don't have to. You're tormenting him. Even the old man said with a smile.

It turned out that Shang Huaide and Xiao Zhou knew that Lian Shouxin now had an official position, so they wanted to salute Lian Shouxin.

"Second brother-in-law, your family's ancestral grave is smoking." Shang Huaide was stopped, and he didn't insist on saluting again, but said with a smile, "Keep your word, since I was a child, my third aunt and I looked at him and he was not an ordinary child." There must be a future, look at it now, this is a big official of the imperial court. Don't talk about our ten miles and eight villages, we all know it in other counties. ”

"Trustworthiness is the ......," Shang Huaide gave a thumbs up. When outsiders mention him, there is no one who does not boast or disagree. Second brother-in-law, you and my second sister are so blessed......"

Even the old man smiled again and again and said a few modest words. But looking at his tone and expression, it is obvious that he is in a good mood.

"They all go to the kang to speak. What are you doing underground, it's cold. Zhou spoke.

Jiang Shi came in with a teapot and smiled and asked everyone to go to the kang.

In the end, Xiao Zhou's family still took off their shoes and sat on the kang, and even sat on the stool on the ground.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi took out the Lantern Festival that they brought over and showed it to Old Man Lian and Zhou.

"It's about to be a holiday, my mother bought a Lantern Festival, let us send it over, and give it to my grandfather and my grandmother." Lian Man'er said crisply, "It's white glutinous rice noodles, assorted filling, I heard it's delicious." ”

"This year, how many things have you sent back and forth. We can't eat that old, don't always spend money. Even the old man said.

"Dad, you can take it. This Lantern Festival is really good, and it's delicious. "Even keep your word.

Lian Man'er asked the little girl to put the two packs of Lantern Festival on the cabinet, and asked the little girl to retreat to the outhouse. Then, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi didn't sit on the edge of the kang, so they followed Lian Shouxin and sat on the stool.

On the cabinet, in addition to the two packs of Lantern Festival sent by Lian Man'er's family, there are also snacks and other gifts sent by them a few days ago, and a cabinet is full of them. In addition, there are two packets of trough cakes and two small jars of soju.

In this era, the trough cakes sold in the shop were all in bulk, but according to the requirements of the guests, one pound was used for a bag, using straw paper, and a piece of red paper would be added on it, and the red paper would be printed with patterns. Most of the patterns are relatively simple, for example, these two bags of trough cakes are printed with a few leaves dragging a peach, taking the meaning of longevity peach.

There is no additional charge for this kind of packaging.

If you buy more, you can buy a rectangular paper box for a small amount of money, and the paper box will also have a piece of red paper the same size as the paper box, printed with auspicious and festive patterns. The general paper box is a two-pound bottle of dim sum, and you can choose a few dim sum from the shop to fill the box. This is generally called a snack box.

Dim sum boxes are more decent than straw paper wrapped dim sum, and they are generally filled with more high-end dim sum than trough cakes.

These two packets of trough cakes and two jars of wine were obviously given by Xiao Zhou's family.

Lian Man'er's gaze shifted from the cabinet to several guests on the kang.

Xiao Zhou and Zhou sat side by side, looking about the same size as Zhou. Lian Man'er's gaze turned on Xiao Zhou's body, Xiao Zhou's face was fair-skinned, and compared to Da Zhou's, Xiao Zhou's and Zhou's appearances were more similar. And in the comparison between Xiao Zhou's and Zhou's, Zhou's was definitely a beauty when he was young, while Xiao Zhou's was even more beautiful.

Xiao Zhou's wore a green, which was the most common color worn by slightly older villagers in this era. Zhou's is also neat and will clean up, but compared to Xiao Zhou's, it seems to be a little worse.

Xiao Zhou had black hair without a trace of white hair, which was coiled into a bun at the back of his head. Two gilt silver hairpins were inserted in the bun, red gold fine twist earrings were worn on the ears, the two hands on the legs were also very white, and a gold stirrup was worn on each ring finger.

Looking at Xiao Zhou's dress and appearance, this is a woman who has always had good living conditions.

Xiao Zhou's husband, Shang Huaide, has long thick eyebrows, big eyes, and medium height. He also wore a green outfit, clean from head to toe. It seems that when he was young, he must have been quite a good match with Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou's son and daughter all sat next to Xiao Zhou's. Listening to Zhou's words, Lian Man'er knew that this girl's name was Shang Baorong. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a large black braid coiled at the back of his head, a gilt silver hairpin, and a red silk flower, and no ring on his hand, but two horseshoe-shaped garlic bracelets on his occasionally exposed wrists.

Shang Baorong's skin is obviously following Xiao Zhou's, very fair-skinned, and his face shape is the same as Xiao Zhou's, but his eyebrows and eyes are similar to Shang Huaide, thick eyebrows, big apricot eyes, and a mouthful of sesame teeth are revealed when he smiles.

A beautiful, cheerful-looking girl.

Shang Baorong is small feet, just now on the ground, Lian Man'er saw her walking around revealing the sharp and small tips of her shoes, the embroidered shoes must be very beautiful, and a pair of small feet inside, should be the most longing three-inch golden lotus for many men in this era.

Next to Shang Baorong, sitting is the youngest son of Xiao Zhou and Shang Huaide, whose name is Shang Baogen. Shang Baogen, like Shang Baorong, wears a set of cotton silk clothes. The clothes and materials of the sisters and brothers are better than their parents'. Lian Man'er knew that Shang Baogen was fourteen years old this year, but he was a little thin. Unlike Shang Huaide and Xiao Zhou's husband and wife, Shang Baogen has a long face, single eyelids, slightly smaller eyes, and only the skin is white and pure, not like a child of a Zhuang family, but like a young master of a rich family.

When Lian Man'er thought so, she couldn't help but smile secretly. She remembered that the last time she heard Wu Yugui's daughter-in-law say that this Shang Huaide was a tailor and had never been a farmer.

This merchant seems to have some savings, and he is also a wealthy family in the countryside.

"This is your second girl? It's called Man'er, it's really good. How old is this year, have you decided to have a family affair? Lian Man'er was thinking about it when she suddenly heard Xiao Zhou ask.

Xiao Zhou's voice is transparent, not like Da Zhou's slow voice, but like Zhou's, he speaks very quickly and has a high voice, looking at Lian Man'er's eyes a little sharp.

“…… It's thirteen this year......" Lian Man'er said. As for those who have not been married, she should not have heard it.

"I haven't decided on a family affair yet." Lian Shouxin said, "The child is still young, and we want to keep her for a few more years." ”

"Oh," Xiao Zhou sighed, turned his head to Zhou, "Now the children are all happy, I think we were all daughters-in-law in the 14th Five-Year Plan." ”

"When you're old, it's time to get married, it's not good for the girl to stay big." Xiao Zhou's faith in Lian again.

“…… How old is Baorong sister this year, has she decided to have a family affair? It happened that Jiang Shi came in from outside, so he asked Xiao Zhou with a smile.

"She's sixteen this year." Xiao Zhou glanced at Shang Baorong, his eyes were full of doting, "This kid doesn't have any heart, he used to be outside, and we planned to come back, so we didn't marry her." The boss had no choice but to reach his age, but now he is in the north and south, and he doesn't know when he will be able to see each other. ”

"Third aunt and third aunt, are you going to go back?" Lian Shouxin asked.

Send two more and ask for pink support.
