Wen Chunyi's heart suddenly moved, some things are better to know the other. She smiled at Chen and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, when the family property was divided that day, I heard that there was not much of our three-room family business?" But did I hear it wrong? Chen looked at Wen Chunyi, and then looked at the passage where no one came and went.

She nodded lightly and said: "When my father's generation divides the family property, the big house is important according to the rules, and my father and mother hurt the hearts of my grandfather and grandmother because of the incident, and they also strictly abide by the rules in terms of family property and get their due share." My father never paid attention to his career, but just walked outside, doing a business in calligraphy and painting, and the profits were limited. Besides, my father and mother have always been in good health, although they will live with the longhouse in the future, they will always have some money in their hands. Wen Chunyi immediately understood that the old lady and his wife of the Zhong family were fair to the three rooms of the Zhong family in terms of family property, and there was no subsidy inside.

Wen Chunyi and Chen smiled at each other, Wen Chunyi smiled and said: "It's okay now, people have no floating wealth, and children and grandchildren can stand on their own." Chen smiled and nodded, and said with some feelings: "If my grandfather and grandmother had divided the family property according to the rules that day, my family would not have so much floating wealth, and maybe there would be no later failure." Wen Chunyi smiled slightly and opened the topic lightly, asking about the matters that the Zhong family should pay attention to during the New Year. Chen smiled and said to her, "On the night of the vigil, we had to spend it with our grandfather and grandmother. However, it is common to keep it until the New Year's hour and then disperse separately. ”

Chen looked at Wen Chunyi's expression, she looked at her with some surprise, and said, "Don't you Wen Mansion have a few rooms to gather for a vigil?" Wen Chunyi looked at her with a smile and explained, "I heard. When I was young, I was a six-room vigil in the hall. Later, my grandmother was not in good health, so my grandfather led the men to keep vigil in his yard, and we women and children did not need to disturb my grandmother's peace. Chen nodded slowly after hearing this, she looked reminiscing, and said: "There are ancestors, and a large family is crowded together to talk, and by the way, it is called joy and excitement when it is dawn." ”

New Year's Day. That family has something to do. Wen Chunyi and Chen quickly said goodbye and broke up. Wen Chunyi returned to the courtyard, and when she saw Fang Chengjia, she looked at her with joy on her face, and said, "Young grandmother, the sixteenth young master has a letter." I just sent it from the house. I've put it on the table in the room. Wen Chunyi entered the room with a happy expression on his face. She thought that in such weather, she would probably not be able to receive a letter specially written by Wen Xiujun. She went into the room, picked up the letter, and opened it. Looking at the contents of the letter, a faint smile was dyed on his lips. Wen Xiujun obviously likes to go out, and he said that although it is hard, he feels that it is worth it.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the night of bright lights. The rare light flashed everywhere in the Zhong family, and the courtyard where the old lady and his wife lived in the Zhong family were even more lively and noisy. The old lady of the Zhong family sat on the main seat, and the four sons sat below him, and he listened attentively to the grandchildren talking around him, sometimes commenting a few words in passing, which made everyone laugh happily. The old lady of the Zhong family looked at the scene of her children and grandchildren, and she said to the eldest lady of the Zhong family with a smile: "I was young and looked forward to the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, no matter how noisy our brothers and sisters were, the elders of the family would not reprimand people. ”

The eldest lady of the Zhong family smiled at the old lady of the Zhong family, she smiled and played, and said: "Mother, when I was young, I also looked forward to the New Year, and there is only this time every year, and the adults treat us a little more patiently. The second lady of the Zhong family followed closely and talked, telling some interesting stories about the New Year in her childhood, and provoking the old lady of the Zhong family to smile. The fourth lady of the Zhong family went outside for a turn and came back, and when she saw the lively atmosphere around the old lady of the Zhong family, she hurried over and said, "Mother, there are great joys and good things, and your old man can't leave me alone." ”

The old lady of the Zhong family stretched out her hand and pointed at her with a smile, and said, "The fourth family, your daughters-in-law are all here, but look at you are still the size of a child today." The fourth lady of the Zhong family smiled and glanced at the three daughters-in-law who were laughing, and she smiled and said to the old lady of the Zhong family: "Mother, the three of them are naturally children in front of me, and I can always treat them as a mother." Now, I am in front of my mother, and with my mother's protection and petting, I can be a real child again. The old lady of the Zhong family pointed at her with a smile and said, "Old family, these days, there is no need to prepare sugar for the fourth family, she is already sweet enough." ”

The eldest lady of the Zhong family looked at the fourth lady of the Zhong family with a smile, she secretly gave her a thumbs up, and said to the old lady of the Zhong family: "Mother, I never dared to prepare candy for the fourth brother and sister, she has a sweet mouth that makes her mother almost the only one in her heart." The second lady of the Zhong family followed up and said: "Mother, I often hear that being a mother loves the little daughter-in-law the most, and the little daughter-in-law is the most ingenious. Today we see them all. The smile on the face of the old lady of the Zhong family became even stronger, she was old, she liked to watch this scene full of joy, and the three daughters-in-law were very sensible and knew how to have fun.

Jiang and Wen Chunyi stood together, listening to the three ladies of the Zhong family and the old ladies of the Zhong family, and also saw the faint smile on the faces of the three ladies of the Zhong family, the two of them looked at each other and sighed secretly in their hearts. The night gradually became thicker, and the old lady of the Zhong family instructed the little grandchildren in each room to go back to the room to rest first. But at such a time, none of the children were willing to go back, and they pestered the old lady of the Zhong family one by one to say good things, and coaxed the old lady of the Zhong family to leave them one by one. This night, the old lady of the Zhong family smiled lovingly, and the old lady of the Zhong family smiled brightly.

When the New Year arrived, the old lady and wife of the Zhong family got up to welcome the New Year, and the children ran to the yard early and shouted happily. Zhong Chichun approached Wen Chunyi's side and whispered, "In a while, we will follow the brothers and sisters-in-law to pay New Year's greetings to our grandfather and grandmother." The old lady of the Zhong family sat down on the main seat steadily, and the housekeeper woman placed several thick washers on the ground, and the old man and wife of the Zhong family preemptively greeted the old lady of the Zhong family and got the red envelopes sent by the two old people. The second husband and wife of the Zhong family followed closely behind, and the old lady of the Zhong family happily distributed red envelopes.

When the third master of the Zhong family knelt down to greet the New Year, the old lady of the Zhong family groaned a little, put the red envelope in the hands of the third master of the Zhong family, and said, "New people and new atmosphere." The old lady of the Zhong family said to the third lady of the Zhong family: "Home and everything is prosperous." The third master of the Zhong family and his wife were busy agreeing, and both of them looked a little unhappy. However, the four old men of the Zhong family had already come forward to kneel down to pay their respects to the New Year, and it was the turn of the grandchildren to come forward to pay their respects. Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi are the youngest couple in this generation, and when it was their turn, their nephews were already hugging behind them, so they could only kneel down in a hurry to pay their respects to the New Year, and then take the red envelopes given by the two old people.

The older children knelt down to the old lady and wife of the Zhong family to pay New Year's greetings, and there was a certain rule of law, and it was the turn of a few small children to pay New Year's greetings, and at that time they were crowded into a pile with each other, and as a result, they knelt down, because the weather was cold and the clothes were thick, everyone was crowded and rolled directly to the feet of the old lady and wife of the Zhong family, which caused a lot of laughter in the hall. Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi gave New Year's greetings to the elders again, so they naturally received red envelopes. And the nephews and nephews in each room smiled and greeted Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi one by one, and the two of them hurriedly distributed the red envelopes that had already been prepared.

When the children received the red envelopes that should be received, the old lady of the Zhong family got up and spoke, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, each room can come back at noon. The children ran out happily, and the old man and wife of the Zhong family personally supported the old lady of the Zhong family to go to the evening, and Zhong Chiyuan and his wife followed behind them. Zhong Chichun lightly pulled down the smiling and looked around at Wen Chunyi, and the husband and wife followed everyone and walked back. After going out, Wen Chunyi looked at the third husband and wife of the Zhong family walking in front, and asked Zhong Chichun in a low voice: "Do we need to go to my father and mother to pay New Year's greetings?" ”

Zhong Chichun shook his head lightly and said, "It's too late, we woke up at noon, said hello to our grandfather and grandmother, and then went to greet our father and mother for the New Year." Wen Chunyi breathed a sigh of relief, and after the excitement, she was a little sleepy, but she had to hold on to her spirits. The third master of the Zhong family and his wife entered the third courtyard gate, and the third master of the Zhong family looked back at Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi, and said: "Chun'er, you are already a married person, don't be naughty in the morning, and bring your nephews to disturb us early." Zhong Chichun listened to his words and said with a smile: "Father, it was my nephews who came to quarrel with me that year, so I will bring them to quarrel with you." ”

The third master of the Zhong family and his wife entered the third courtyard gate, Wen Chunyi looked at Zhong Chichun and asked, "Will the nephews come early tomorrow?" Zhong Chichun looked at Wen Chunyi and said a little embarrassed: "Eighteen, they made an appointment with me, and they will come to me in the morning." I will sleep on the couch in the outhouse, lest they come early to disturb me and make you unable to sleep. Wen Chunyi looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay." I slept peacefully, and you can't wake me up when you talk loudly. The husband and wife entered the courtyard, Fang Chengjia greeted her, Wen Chunyi asked about the situation, and let her rest.

When the sky was bright, Wen Chunyi only felt that he had just closed his eyes, and was woken up by the sound of laughter. Zhong Chichun walked in, and when he saw her wide-eyed and dumbfounded appearance, he smiled in a low voice and said, "Eighteen, it's time to get up, it's almost noon, we are going to our grandfather and grandmother for a reunion dinner." Wen Chunyi listened to the sound of the children in the outhouse, she quickly sat up, Zhong Chichun looked at her with a smile and said, "They are older and more sensible than in previous years." Today, one by one, they are still waiting outside the courtyard gate, asking us if we have gotten up? ”

Wen Chunyi's eyes gradually became clearer, Zhong Chichun stretched out his hand to pull her up and sit upright, and said, "It's cold, wake up, hurry up and get dressed." Wen Chunyi motioned to Zhong Chichun to hurry out to accompany the guests, and Zhong Chichun was amused by the look in his eyes, and said, "Okay, I'm out, you hurry up." (To be continued......)
