203. The Children's Affair a
The old man also raised his head and said, "Cheng'er, just take care of your own affairs, Feng'er is much more promising than you." ”
"Grandpa." Li Cheng glared at Li Feng dissatisfied, why did the whole family revolve around him, what was good about him.
As if he hadn't heard, the old man lowered his head and talked to Li Feng again, Lin Xue's eyes never left Li Cheng, and naturally he didn't miss the flash of hatred in Li Cheng's eyes.
Lin Xue couldn't help but raise her vigilance against Li Cheng, Zhang moved to Lin Xue's side, and said with a smile, "Third brother and sister, it's still your fate, the rich son in the family is promising, unlike me who works hard for one." ”
Lin Xue turned her body to the side, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say, the money is earned by my own hard work, Feng'er can be admitted to the lifting person, he also put in the effort, and it has nothing to do with fate." ”
Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Third brother and sister, I said the wrong thing, don't you mind, I just want to say that you think Cheng'er is a father and has achieved nothing, can you reach out to help him." ”
"How can I help?" Lin Xue asked, Li Cheng is simply a dou who can't be supported, he can't study, he is too tired to farm, and it's embarrassing to work for others, so it's hard to let Lin Xue give him a sum of money directly.
Zhang's legs were cocked, and he said to Lin Xue flatteringly, "Third brother and sister, then Li Xiao didn't rely on your help to make a business, you tell him, let my family Cheng'er give him a hand, just be a shopkeeper there." ”
Lin Xue coughed, she was really speechless about Zhang's cheekiness, and she was just a shopkeeper, why didn't she say it and send Li Cheng a shop directly.
Lin Xue took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I helped Li Xiao before, but people have also repaid me, how can you tell Li Xiao now to let Li Cheng be the shopkeeper, he has never done business, he has no experience, who dares to use it." ”
"Third brother and sister, what you said is not right." Zhang's face sank, and he said, "Li Feng has been admitted to the lifting of people, then our Cheng'er is the elder brother of the lifting people, how face-saving it is, if he Li Xiao lets us become the shopkeeper, the business will definitely get better day by day." ”
Lin Xue didn't even have the heart to argue, turned around, turned her back to Zhang's and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have that ability, if you have the ability, you can say it yourself." ”
"Third brother and sister." Zhang shouted without giving up, Lin Xue lowered her head and did not react.
"Third brother and sister." Zhang raised his voice, all the eyes in the room focused on Zhang, the old man frowned, and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you shouting, don't you see me talking?" There are no rules at all. ”
Li Feng saw that Lin Xue's face was not very good, so he took advantage of the situation to stand up and said, "Grandpa, I have been on the road for several days, and I am almost exhausted, I want to go back to sleep and wait for tomorrow when I come over to chat with you." ”
Li Feng said this, and the old man was not easy to refuse, and said with a smile, "Feng'er, then you can go back and rest early, remember to come over tomorrow, grandpa will prepare a banquet for you at home." ”
Li Feng nodded, Lin Xue also stood up and walked out after saying goodbye to the old man, on the way, Li Feng asked strangely, "Mother, grandma is so strange today, grandpa said that he was going to hold a banquet for me, she didn't say anything, could it be that the milk became generous." ”
Lin Xue took Li Feng's arm and walked back slowly, "How is it possible, the money for the banquet is from our family, and your father has to do it in the old mansion, your father agreed at the time, and my mother can't say anything." ”
"Oh, I see." Li Feng was relieved at this time, so that he would not be narcissistic to think that if he was admitted to the Juren, the Wang family would be impressed by him, and then take out the money to hold a banquet for him.
Lin Xue suddenly thought of something, and said to Li Feng with a calm face, "Feng'er, you have to be more wary of your eldest brother in the future, he looks at you very wrong, be careful of being calculated by him." ”
Li Feng nodded, Li Cheng's eyes he also noticed, but what needs to be guarded against more is the old man, that is the real old fox, after glancing at Lin Xue, Li Feng decided not to say what he thought in his heart.
When they arrived home, Old Man Lin and Hua were also in the house, and the two saw Li Feng hurriedly coming out and shouted, "Our master is back, let my grandfather take a look, and there is no change." ”
Li Feng grinned, walked over and pulled Hua with one hand and Old Man Lin with the other, "Grandpa, grandma, I've been out for a few months, what can change, you are too exaggerated." ”
Lin Xue moved a stool, sat down according to Hua's and said, "Mother, no matter how great Feng'er's achievements are, he is still your eldest grandson, don't shout like this in the future." ”
Hua patted Lin Xue's hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I know, Xue'er, who will do tomorrow's banquet, don't you need my mother to help." ”
Lin Xue shook her head, sat down and said, "Mother, no need, tomorrow you and Dad, eldest brother and second brother will just go over to eat." ”
Hua's face was relieved, her eldest daughter didn't have to worry about her in this life, "Xue'er, my mother asked you something, will you accept the congratulatory gifts from the guests tomorrow, or will you receive them from your mother-in-law's side." ”
Lin Xue was stunned, she had never considered this problem, it was a little difficult to do, this kind of good thing would definitely not be accepted by the Wang family, but how could she be willing to let the Wang family be cheap.
Lin Xue thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a good plan, and finally sighed and said, "Mother, let my mother-in-law do the work in this matter, I don't care about that money yet." ”
Hua Shi nodded and said, "That's fine, your mother-in-law will definitely not make trouble again for the sake of money, but Xue'er, you still have to pay more attention tomorrow, don't let people drill Confucius." ”
Hua and Old Man Lin stayed until the evening before going back, and as soon as they left, they took Li Feng to the courtyard to chat, and did not let Lin Xue follow, saying that it was a whisper between the brother and sister, and they could not be heard by others.
Lin Xue shook her head, went back to the room to rest, and the next morning, Lin Jie knocked on the door of Lin Xue's house, and after cleaning up, Lin Xue's family rushed to the old house.
When they arrived, the people invited by the Zhang family were already busy in the kitchen, the yard was full of tables and chairs, and even the backyard had a few tables, Lin Xue took her family to the upper room first.
The old man stood up and asked Old Man Lin and Hua to sit down with a smile on his face, "My family, my mother, you sit down, today is a great event for our two families, we will have a few drinks later." ”
Old Man Lin arched his hand and said, "Definitely, definitely, Feng'er's ability to be admitted to the lifting ceremony is all the credit of your Li family, our Lin family is just a little light." ”
The smile on the old man's face became even bigger when he heard this, and he was much more sincere, and the two sat on the chair and began to chatter.
Lin Xue stayed for a while, felt bored and ran to the kitchen to help, Zhang just walked out, pulled Lin Xue and said affectionately, "Third brother and sister, how can you come here, today your family is the protagonist, let others do the cooking." ”
Lin Xue was a little strange, she obviously refused Zhang's request yesterday, it stands to reason that even if she didn't give her a white eye, she shouldn't be so enthusiastic. "Sister-in-law, I'm just going in to take a look, don't do anything."
Zhang took Lin Xue and walked two more steps, and said, "Third brother and sister, what's so beautiful, you still can't believe me, today's important matter, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to make any trouble." ”
Lin Xue was skeptical, although what Zhang said made sense, but this enthusiastic attitude, how to look at it, Lin Xue looked around, "Sister-in-law, what about Cheng'er, why didn't you see others." ”
"Isn't he at the door?" Zhang turned around and looked, "Hey, it's really gone, when did this stinky boy still run out, I don't know if the family is busy." ”
Lin Xue didn't pay attention to Li Cheng's disappearance, chatted with Zhang's for a few words, and then raised his feet and walked to the kitchen, Zhang's ran over and shouted, "Third brother and sister, didn't they all say nothing?" It's gray inside, and it's not good if it stains your clothes. ”
Lin Xue pushed her arm away and said, "Sister-in-law, have you ever heard the story of three hundred taels of silver here, the more you block it, the more I doubt it, what is in this kitchen, so unsightly." ”
Zhang laughed twice and said, "If you want to see it, you can watch it, but there is really nothing in it." ”
Lin Xue didn't speak, she walked in directly, the kitchen was full of people, chopping vegetables, washing vegetables, cooking pots, washing rice, Lin Xue looked around, it was all normal, nothing strange.
Seeing that Lin Xue didn't find anything, Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Third brother and sister, now that we've finished reading, we can go out, it's too boring here." ”
Lin Xue nodded, and just as she was about to leave, she smelled a strange smell, sniffled, and found that the smell came from under the board, Lin Xue squatted down, Zhang's face turned pale, and asked in horror, "Third brother and sister, what are you doing, there are vegetables under the board, what is there to see." ”
Lin Xue didn't speak, flipped through the dishes that had been piled up, and found that there was a layer of meat at the bottom, and the smell came from the meat.
Lin Xue took out a piece and picked it up to see that the pork that should have been fresh had already begun to rot, Lin Xue's face immediately changed, she stood up and handed the meat to Zhang, and said, "Sister-in-law, can you explain what is going on with this pork." ”
"How do I know, this meat is like this, third brother and sister, although this meat has a little taste, it can still be eaten, so don't worry so much." Zhang's eyes dodged, not daring to look at Lin Xue.
The people who helped in the kitchen also stopped what they were doing, and looked lively, Lin Xue's face became even colder, "You can eat, sister-in-law, do you have a problem with your eyes, or do you have a problem with your brain, this lard is already broken, who do you want to eat, you, or the guest who came today." After a pause, Lin Xue said again, "I just think this pork will be bad if it is left for a long time, so I will send it this morning, sister-in-law, this should be your reception." ”
