The upper room continued to make a fuss, and in the end, the Zhang family was taken back to the south wing by the three big egg brothers.

Li and a few children hid in the house to pack up the contents of the box, and did not go to the room to obstruct Mrs. Chen's eyes, and Li also knew that if he went to the room while the Zhang family was making a big fuss, he might cause a commotion.

Cai's and Li's thought the same, and this time they didn't go to the room to persuade them, but hid in the yard with Chen Zifu to grind tofu.

In the evening, the stove in the upper room was slow to turn on, Zhang's crying in the south wing, and Mrs. Chen was lying in the upper room with liver pain. Not to mention anything else, Old Man Chen is Chen Xiucai's father after all, Li stewed the chicken and fish he bought, fried a few specialty dishes, pulled out a little bit of everything, and packed it in a box and sent it to the upper room. Old man Chen loves to eat rolled noodles, Li made a bowl of noodles for him alone, the noodles were thin, cooked in chicken soup, sprinkled with shredded chicken, minced garlic, dripping with sesame oil, a large bowl full of sea was sent over, and the empty bowl was served.

The big eggs, the second eggs, and the third eggs smelled the fragrance coming from the big pot house, and Li took pity on the three children, and served them a big bowl of spiky chicken and steamed buns separately, and let the three of them serve them to eat alone.

Mrs. Chen was lying on the kang and humming, no matter how much she didn't like to see the big house, she was also Chen Xiucai's mother in terms of reputation, which gave her the upper hand. Everyone is really afraid that she has a good one, since the last time she didn't care about Chen Xiucai's life or death, she was going to remarry the Li family, and the Li family hated her in her heart, and she was not as attentive as usual but indifferent, but it was pitiful to see her lying on the kang at a lot of age. Li sighed, cooked a bowl of hot soup, and asked the stone to bring it to her to drink.

Xue Jiao knew Li's thoughts, whether Mrs. Chen drank it or not was one thing, and it was another thing whether the old lady Chen was filial or not, and it was only a bowl of soup that left and right, if it was spread that the old lady Chen was lying on the kang at an old age and no one paid attention to it, although everyone knew that she was not authentic to the big house in the past, it would also affect the reputation of the big house.

To know. Since beating Chen Xiucai returned to his hometown. Their family lives in the eyes of everyone, and they naturally will not fall behind at this point. "Mother, I'll take it over." Chen Xuejiao stopped the stone. She also wanted to see what was going on with Mrs. Chen now.

In the twilight, there was no light in the upper room, and Chen Xuejiao carefully walked to the inner room with a bowl.

There was a little light on the side of the bed, and Mr. Chen was sitting and smoking. A room full of spicy smoke.

"Master, why don't you light the lamp." Chen Xuejiao passed for a while. The eyes are adjusting to the dark light in the room.

"Ahem," Old Man Chen was thinking about things while smoking, and he couldn't help coughing a few times when Chen Xuejiao interrupted his thoughts. "It's almost time to go to bed, what are you lighting the lamp?"

"I heard that the milk is not feeling well, so I came to see the milk." Chen Xuejiao struggled to identify on the bed. A vague mass of quilt squirmed slightly as she spoke. Presumably, Mrs. Chen has not fallen asleep yet.

Sure enough, without waiting for Chen Xuejiao to put down the hot soup, Mrs. Chen "hummed" in her nose, Chen Xuejiao pretended not to hear, and said to Mr. Chen with a smile: "Master, you better light the lamp, the hot soup that my mother made for my milk, hurry up and let the milk drink it while it is hot." ”

"Okay, okay." Old man Chen was touched by the carefulness of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Put down the cigarette pouch, trembling and groping to light the lamp in the dark, put it down embarrassedly as soon as her hand touched the lamp oil bottle, Chen Xuejiao leaned on the table, seeing that the lamp had not been lit by the old man Chen, the old man Chen coughed unnaturally: "Xuejiao, the flint is a little damp, you put the bowl there first, and wait for your milk to wake up and drink." ”

Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but glance at the bed a few times, just now Mrs. Chen "hummed" but everyone heard it, why did Old Man Chen emphasize that she had fallen asleep.

"That's okay, sir, I'll put the soup aside." Chen Xuejiao put the bowl on the table and took the lamp oil, which was empty. No wonder Old Man Chen lit the lamp for a long time and didn't light it, it turned out that the lamp oil was gone, in front of Mrs. Chen, he naturally wouldn't tell Sù Xuejiao that the lamp oil was gone, for fear of losing Mrs. Chen's face.

Has it been embarrassing to go to the house? Chen Xuejiao secretly thought to herself, Mrs. Chen has savings in her hands, and all the money that Chen Xiucai earned from teaching in previous years was handed over to her, not only that, but every time Chen Xiucai sent something home outside some time ago, the Li family did not leave behind when she returned to the house, although she did not send silver money, but the silk medicinal materials were not broken. Since the thing was given to the upper room, they didn't care what they did with the Li family, and they heard the Cai family say several times that the old lady Chen took the silk medicinal herbs to the town and exchanged them for silver. From this point of view, although the life of Shangfang is not rich, it can be regarded as a high-class family in the village, and the daily food and drink are all from the ground, and the clothes they wear are either given by the Li family or cut by themselves, so where is their silver, and they can't even afford the most basic lamp oil.

……

Back in the North Wing, the family was waiting for Xuejiao to have dinner.

Or Bai Bai Xuejiao said that she wanted to eat dumplings, so Li chopped the filling, and wrapped a total of three kinds of dumplings, mutton and carrot filling, cabbage and pork filling, and leek egg filling. Xue Jiao's favorite food is leek egg filling, the leeks of this era are pure green, without a little pesticide and chemical fertilizer, the tender leeks will come out of the water as soon as they are pinched, chopped and beaten with eggs, and used to wrap dumplings in the delicious.

"It's delicious." Xue Jiao picked up the dumplings and put them in her mouth, swallowed her stomach without worrying about the scalding, turned her head and said to Li, "It's better to dip some vinegar and garlic." ”

As soon as the words fell, the stone went into the pot house and poured vinegar and garlic. Now that the stone has been integrated into the family, everyone likes the honest, sensible and diligent stone.

“…… I just went to the upper room, it was so dark, the light was not lit, I took the bottle of lamp oil, and it was empty. Xue Jiao said while eating dumplings, "Ye is sitting in the dark and smoking a cigarette pouch, I feel that he is not in a good mood." ”

"Can your grandfather be in a good mood? Originally, the second child did not grow up, but now the fourth child followed him to the city and did not grow up, and he encountered such a thing...... "Because the children are here, the Li family wants to stop talking."

However, except for Qi Ping's young age, everyone knows about Chen Zigui's absurdity in Xuzhou Mansion.

"Grandpa and grandma haven't lit the lights for a few days." Xue Ru suddenly said, "I went to feed my milk last night." There was no light in the house, and I wondered what to do, so I didn't dare to ask and came out. ”

"It stands to reason that grandpa and grandma can't afford lamp oil, and grandma has silver in her hand." After all, Qi An is older, and he thinks more, "Is it that the milk and silver have been used by the fourth uncle for business?" ”

Li glanced at Qi An, and everyone knew about it. Isn't that how the money in the upper room is gone?

"Left and right are just a matter of a bottle of lamp oil. Stay and let the stone send them a bottle. Chen Xiu, who had never spoken, spoke.

Chen Xuejiao thought to herself, this is not a bottle of lamp oil, if you are used to it. The whole upper room was counting on the big room to live, and Old Man Chen didn't need to say anything, he only said that Old Mrs. Chen and Zhang's family were like leeches. I can't wait to suck the blood of the big house dry. But Chen Xuejiao couldn't say this, and Mrs. Chen was acting unreasonably. Old Man Chen is also Chen Xiucai's father, as long as Old Man Chen is there, it is impossible for the big house to leave the upper room.

Shi sent the lamp oil to the upper room, and came back to quietly reveal it to Chen Xuejiao. Mrs. Chen scolded the big room for being stingy, and gave a lamp oil to treat herself as God.

Chen Xuejiao was noncommittal, and she didn't know Mrs. Chen's personality for the first time.

It's been a busy day. Everyone is tired, because they have to go to Li's house tomorrow morning to visit relatives. So after arranging things a little, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In recent days, autumn has been getting stronger, and the nights are especially cool. Chen Xuejiao was wrapped in a new quilt that had been sun-dried and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Li took Xue Jiao Xueru to pack a box of things, and Shi hired two big cars from the town early in the morning, and everyone sat together to go to Li's mother's house.

Chen Xiucai took Qi An and Boxing Li to sit in a car, Shi followed the coachman to sit outside, and Li took Xueru, Xueru, Jinghao, and Qi Ping to sit in another big car. A few children have never been in a big car when they are so old, usually they only see Xue Yao take a big car when they don't go home, this time they sit in their own turns, Xue Jiao only thinks that this big carriage is more comfortable than a small car, and she doesn't feel bumpy when she walks through the potholed road, she sits on the soft poun and lifts the curtain to look out directly, Chen Qiping is the same as Xuexuejiao, and half of the curtain is eager to poke out of the curtain.

The family wore new clothes, sat in the car with joy, and came to Baitu Town to buy fruits.

"Mother! Sugar balls, sugar balls. Chen Qiping was so young, when he saw that he couldn't stop shouting, the stone heard it, jumped off the carriage, bought several strings of sugar balls in one go, and handed them over, not only Qiping, Xuejiao, Xueru, and Jinghao all had a share, and everyone took the sugar balls and ate them with handkerchiefs.

"Don't get it on your clothes." Li's strange instructions were level.

"Mother, I know La, I know that old man, last time I came to town alone, he gave me a string of candy balls." Qi Ping stretched out his tongue and licked it carefully, the sugar painting pulled the slender and long honey, broke off as soon as he had a lot of strength, licked his mouth, and pointed to the old man who sold sugar balls and said.

He still remembered that he was bullied by Sister Chun and Wen Yan last time, and when he mentioned this, the Li family was cold, because Chen Xiucai had just returned home, and she hadn't told Chen Xiucai about it.

The cart stopped and packed a few food boxes when they arrived at Xiangfu Building, including osmanthus cake wrapped in honey, four-color halva of sesame roses, milky white sheep's horn honey sprinkled with snowflake sugar, and three knives of fragrant honey just out of the pot, and four boxes of snacks piled up on the car. Because the August Festival is coming, I specially bought four kinds of moon cakes, white lotus paste filling, egg yolk lard filling, bean paste three-wire filling, and rare ham moon cakes from Yunnan.

In the usual August Festival, when she went to her parents' house to visit relatives, Li was embarrassed and secretly cried, because she couldn't buy a decent festival without silver in her hand, and she returned to her own mooncakes made of bean paste, Wen Ying knew her difficulties, and would prepare four fruits for her every time, and carry them to her home the day before she returned to her parents' house without telling Mrs. Chen.

When I arrived at Li's house, it was the door of the eldest sister-in-law Qiao Shiying, and when I saw that such a big car was only going to the wrong door, I swept back, only to see Li and Chen Xiucai standing behind with a smile, Xue Ruxue Jiaojing The four girls were all wearing big red new satin skirts, with gold and silver jewelry on their wrists, Qi Ping and Qi An were carrying things from the car with a half-sized son.

Qiao Shi patted his chest and shouted into the room in surprise: "Dad, mother, sister-in-law and brother-in-law are here."
