Chapter 215: Toast

When Li understood Mrs. Li's words, her face turned purple and red, and her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes like an unmarried girl, showing the attitude of a little daughter.

Mrs. Li was also panicked when she asked this, she thought about this all night yesterday, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and almost collapsed the bed board, and the angry old man Li hammered the wall hard before stopping. The son-in-law is now developed outside, Mrs. Li is happy, she turned her back and frowned, the son-in-law looks like a talent, and he is a talent who can recite poetry, and now he earns such a family business, I am afraid that I will learn a belly of flowers and intestines outside to come to the house, and then learn that the big family will ask for a small door, and only the girl will suffer.

Although Mrs. Li believes in her son-in-law's character, she doesn't believe in the fox outside, I heard that a lot of doing business outside is talked about in the Qinglou restaurant, what kind of good daughter's house can there be in that place, and the demonic people who dress up are used to making the wind and love the moon, and when she saw Chen Xiucaiโ–ก, she didn't like to see a piece โ–กโ†˜โ–กof meat to swallow in his mouth, and he was also confused by fat powder because he was an iron man.

That's what she's afraid of these days, and she can't mention it to Mr. Li, just a few days ago, she was scolded by her husband, and she couldn't mention it to her daughter-in-law, so she had to keep it in her heart.

"Mother, why are you asking this?" Lee's twisted hands didn't know where to put them.

Mrs. Li took a closer look at her daughter, and saw that the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and she didn't look like she was pretending, so she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. She knew that when she asked her daughter like this, both of them panicked. But she can't take care of it, she is an old lady, and the old lady just asks about her daughter. Who can still ask about this?

In general, in people with strict family style, as long as the daughter-in-law is filial and has children, and with the support of the in-laws, the man wants to pass the father's mother if he wants to spend his head outside, so there is no big moth, and the bad water is cut off in the buds. But the Chen family is different from others, and their own daughter is an unreasonable stepmother. This queen mother can't see the big house is good, there is no wind and she still wants to stir up a wave, if the son-in-law really has that flower head of thought. No matter what others, only Mrs. Chen will rush to instigate her, and she is also a mother-in-law, only the Li family respects her, and there is no reason for her to respect the Li family, if she really has that mind. Even the Li family's family can't stand it.

"So you say. A son-in-law is naturally good to you. Mrs. Li slapped her face, "Count him as a conscientious person, it's not in vain that you are so hard at home." โ€

Li Shi glued a candied date on the table to eat, spit out the jujube kernel and held it on the handkerchief: "Whether I am bitter or not is another thing, fortunately, there are four children around me, and the children are sensible." If you want to say that it is bitter, it is still his father's bitterness, there is no personal care outside, and he is full of hunger. There is a stone next to him, but it is just a group of children, and in the end it is not as careful as the daughter's family. โ€

The son-in-law is naturally bitter. How can there be no bitterness in running a boat outside, Mrs. Li also feels sorry for her son-in-law, but when it comes to intimacy, she naturally prefers her daughter.

There was a lively sound outside, and the mother and daughter looked through the curtain, only to see that some well-connected people in the village heard that the son-in-law of the Li family came to the door, and they came to catch up with the old days.

Chen Qi'an was wearing a moon-white straight jacket, with a scholar's square scarf on his head, his eyebrows were clear, and his gestures were confident, the more Mrs. Li looked at it, the happier she became, and said: "Qi An has grown up, this appearance, he is a child again, and there are many relatives in the family." โ€

The village is generally big, those who don't study, and some of the children have been born, Qi An put all his heart and soul into studying, naturally he didn't have the intention of saying kiss, Li and Chen Xiucai didn't think about it, Li said: "Qi An is still young, and it's not too late to say that he is going to be admitted to Xiucai." โ€

Li smacked his lips, and suddenly thought of Qi Lin in the second room of the Chen family, I heard that the kid took the first place, I really didn't know what good luck he had, and frowned: "Although it's not in a hurry, it's time to look at the girls everywhere, and find a good character and good looks to book it first." I heard that the boy in the second room got a first name, and now the reputation of the child has spread, I don't know how many daughters are willing to give it to him, you were a few months later than the second room in terms of birth and raising, Qi An can not fall behind Qi Lin. โ€

How could Li have the heart to talk to her about this, there was a bustle outside, and she pulled Mrs. Li's sleeve: "Mother, we can't take care of the affairs of the second room." He sighed and said, "The boy and his father don't know if they are going out again after the August Festival, I heard that this time they are going to open a shop outside, it is difficult to say in a year or two years, and it is not certain whether it will be in three years or five years." โ€

Mrs. Li knew what she meant when she heard it, pursed her lips and thought about it, and slapped her face: "You followed!" After saying so many words, her mouth was bitter, and Mrs. Li drank a bowl of sweet soup, pulled Li and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, and touched her hand: "The son-in-law is an honest man, but I don't worry about those outside, those people outside are all lotus roots without holes, and there are many fox spirits in the fox nest." A man's family just didn't have that mind, and hooking up a few times also gave birth to flowery intestines. He wants to buy a house and open a shop, there is no one around to do something, you and the upper house are separated, and the parents-in-law have no reason to stop you, you grab the ready-made head and follow him, the child can be brought with it, and I will bring it to you if you can't bring it. โ€

The topic turned around and then turned to this, and Li was not very sure in his heart. However, Mrs. Li's words are right in her mind, she does have these hidden worries when she comes, and it is easy to save these family businesses, and she doesn't know where to scatter her hands when she loosens them; Second, I was worried that Chen Xiucai was alone outside, he couldn't see or touch, and he didn't know what to do, he was hungry and full and collapsed, even if he had such a family business, what was the use.

Li thought so in his heart, and he was reluctant to take the four children, if they all went with him, it would be inconvenient, Qi'an Qiping and the two had to study, Xueru was old, and he was running around, in case of a business trip, how could she live, so that only Xue Jiao could bring it among the four girls, and the more she thought about it, the more she had a headache and frowned slightly: "Maybe what kind of charter it is, when the time comes, I will ask my mother for ideas." โ€

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard the laughter of Xue Jiao's children outside.

Xue Jiao, Xue Ru, Jing Hao, and Qi Ping followed Li Chanchan to the orchard behind to pick fruits. The Li family has an orchard, with fresh fruits all year round, and in addition to exchanging silver, they can eat and pick at home. It's autumn, and apples and pears hang on the branches, crowding next to each other, giving off a burst of fruity aroma. Xue Jiao just entered this orchard and liked it, this is the life she dreamed of living in her previous life, the blue sky and white clouds are cool for a good autumn, pick the fruits one by one, do not wash the direct entrance, the mouth is full of sweet juice, the flesh is soft and lush.

She looked around the orchard, and there were not only apples, pears, pomegranates and other autumn fruits, but also cherries, peaches, apricots in spring, grapes in summer, and those fruit trees everywhere.

Xue Jiao plans to build a new yard for her family in the future and plant such a fruit tree, which is the second best thing to sell, and the main thing is to eat at home.

Several people picked two baskets of fruits and returned to the yard, the Li family has a large population, and the Li family has become a big family at the beginning of the year, the Li family not only built a layer of courtyard, but also repainted and repaired the old houses. Mrs. Li and several daughters-in-law are very clean and neat people, so the yard is very clean, the walls are freshly painted, according to the method of Xuzhou Mansion, a flower shelf was built to connect the courtyards, the flower shelf is full of flowers in various seasons, at this time the moon season of the wall is in full swing, Xue Jiao is planning in her mind, and she will build such a flower shelf for herself in the future.

In the pot house, the three daughters-in-law of the Li family finished the meal, and when they saw a few children laughing in the yard, they raised their voices and said, "Wash your hands and faces, and eat." โ€

Xue Jiao washed her hands, walked into the upper room, lifted the curtain and shouted to Mrs. Li and the Li family: "It's time to eat!" โ€

There were too many people, so two big tables were set up, the man sat in the upper room, the old man Li sat at the top, Chen Xiucai sat next to him, and the Li family invited Cun Zheng, Fei Lao Liu, and villagers who had a good relationship with the Li family to accompany them.

The other table was placed in Mrs. Li's house, the Li family and the Chen family did not have so many rules, there were too many women and children here, and a table could not be opened, so the board of the pot house was moved and put together, Qi Ping and Niuniu The two children rolled into Mrs. Li's arms together, not occupying the chair.

Qiao's took the two concubines and Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law to serve dishes to the house one by one, because they knew in advance that the Li family was coming to visit relatives, and the Li family had prepared today's dishes as early as yesterday. A large pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a large bowl of roasted pork with potatoes, autumn cucumbers, autumn eggplant, tender tofu, and all kinds of cold dishes fill the table.

Outside, the old man Li was really happy, his illness was cured, he was already able to get drunk, he drank like Guan Gong, and he refused to let go of the cup, so frightened that Li Yuntian hurriedly stopped him, and the old man Li said to everyone happily: "Although my son-in-law said that he has made a fortune outside, he has not forgotten us." As he spoke, he showed his crutches, and the golden beads on them pierced the eyes of the people.

Mrs. Li glanced through the curtain, and scolded with a smile in front of the ladies in the room: "Look at your father's head." โ€

Several daughters-in-law said: "My brother-in-law has a chance, and my father is not allowed to be happy." โ€

Chen Xiucai accompanied Mr. Li to eat a few cups, and saluted the three elder brothers of the Li family one by one: "Thank you to the three elder brothers for taking care of me these days when I am not at home, harvesting wheat, planting corn, and harvesting in the autumn, all of which are supported by the three elder brothers, so that there will be no chaos at home." โ€

The three elder brothers drank the wine happily, and Chen Xiucai poured another glass of wine and shouted to Mrs. Li's room: "I also respect my mother-in-law and the three sisters-in-law, the embroidery workshop at home and a few children, everyone is worried." โ€

Mrs. Li is okay, she should have eaten her son-in-law's respect. Where did the three sisters-in-law receive this, and they made a sigh in their mouths, but they felt that their brother-in-law was too polite, Qiao's is sister-in-law, and they said quickly: "But if you do it, you will work wherever you go." The other two sisters-in-law drank the wine with a shy eyebrow.

Li's heart is really grateful to his mother's family for taking care of him, and now his own life is just good, so he buys all kinds of generous gifts for his mother's family, usually the three sisters-in-law do the embroidery work is also sold in the embroidery workshop, the three sisters-in-law see that she is a grateful retribution, treat her better and better, Li is happy, and also picked up the wine glass, and took Xuejiao and several children to toast the three sisters-in-law with a glass.
