In the scorching summer, it is time to spread your eyes.

In July, the weather begins to cool.

The seventh day of the seventh month, commonly known as the Qiqiao Festival. On this day, the people of Jiafu usually burn incense in the courtyard to pray for blessings and peace in order to pray for peace.

On the same day, it is also the first birthday of Wang Xifeng's daughter.

In order to celebrate her daughter's birthday, Wang Xifeng set up a small banquet in her courtyard, and asked the little actors in Lixiang Courtyard to prepare a few small plays and sing them in the courtyard.

Although the pomp and circumstance are not big, because Wang Xifeng planned it properly, the whole scene looked quite lively.

Even the little maids can follow along, because Wang Xifeng ordered someone to buy seven or eight baskets of candy and snacks early in the morning, and set up two distribution points to reward the people in the house.

In this way, the maids and daughters-in-law who have always liked to secretly scold Wang Xifeng behind their backs are rarely praised for a good meal.

Of course, Wang Xifeng herself doesn't care about the judgment of her subordinates.

She only cared about the senses of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Therefore, after dealing with the sisters-in-law, Wang Xifeng came to the main table to Jia's mother, begging for money, which caused Jia's mother to laugh constantly.

Then she was still afraid that Jia Mu would laugh so badly, so she stopped and sat aside to eat two sips of wine.

Zhou Ruijia came over to her and said, "Second grandma, someone from the second door said that the grandmother Liu who came last time is here again." ”

Wang Xifeng was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Why did the old man come again, he sent her twenty taels of silver last time, and he was not happy, so he came to fight the autumn breeze again?

I had to tell Zhou Rui's family that she was busy here and didn't have time to meet guests, so let Zhou Rui's family take a few taels of silver at will.

It just so happened that Jia Mu above heard them talking, because she asked, "Who are you talking about Grandma Liu?" ”

"Hey, she's a farmer, and I've been back once......"

"Crop man? What do the harvesters do when they come to our house? ”

Jia Mu said strangely.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Mrs. Wang. Although she received it once, she really didn't know much about the relationship between Grandma Liu and their family.

Mrs. Wang explained to Jia's mother with a smile: "When my father was here, he was an official with their ancestors, and they accidentally connected with the sect, and they were also relatives, but they didn't move around often later.

Over the years, Xu is their family has really struggled, so they found me.

I thought about my relatives, and I didn't treat them badly, the last time she came, I asked Feng Yatou to give her dozens of taels of silver, and let them take it back to live. ”

"I see," Jia Mu nodded, and said, "Since you have connected to the sect, why is your surname Liu?" ”

"I know this, their family has only one son in our generation, called Wang Gou'er or something, and married a daughter-in-law surnamed Liu.

That Grandma Liu is his mother-in-law, because she has only one daughter and no son to rely on, so the king dog took her to the house to support. ”

When it came to the situation she knew, Wang Xifeng opened her mouth and made the relationship clear in a few clicks.

Jia Mu said: "In this way, that Wang Gou'er is a conscience. ”

Jia Mu has seen many people and the world, and she is not different from names such as "cat" and "dog".

Croppers, mostly so.

I think that Wang Gou'er has a difficult family, and he is willing to support his mother-in-law, so he is a person with some responsibility.

Therefore, I started to ask about his family affairs.

Although Wang Xifeng didn't care much about that kind of poor and sour thing, since Jia's mother asked, she also answered as much as she could.

In the end, Jia Mu said: "Since we are relatives, people have come from afar, and we can't slack off." It just so happened that I was feeling a little bored lately, and I wanted to find an elderly person to talk to me, so you invited her in and I met her. ”

Jia's mother spoke, how could Wang Xifeng not obey?

immediately ordered: "Ping'er, why don't you go and invite the old man in?" ”

There was a table of big girls on the side, Ping'er hurriedly got up, saluted everyone, and then followed Zhou Rui's family.

……

At the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, the brightly dressed men sat in two or three places, looking at the old and the young in the courtyard with a playful face.

The old one was a peasant woman, and she looked a little older. A black sweat handkerchief was placed on his shoulder, and he occasionally wiped the sweat from his face and neck.

The youngest one was only five or six years old, and he was a boy. A pair of slippery eyes, constantly looking at the things around him, the whole little face, full of curiosity and exploration.

At first glance, he is a village child.

"Ban'er, pick up that pumpkin, tap it carefully, don't break it!"

They were pushing a wooden cart full of large and small pockets, which, when peeking out, were full of fruits and vegetables.

It is no wonder that these disciples living in the Guogong Mansion have ridicule in their eyes.

Those things, you can buy most of the car for 500 yuan! But judging by their appearance, these are the gifts they have come to visit......

And from the fact that the old woman was covered in mud and sweat, it is not difficult to guess that they must have put a lot of effort and effort into bringing these worthless things to the city.

The old woman naturally saw the meaning in the eyes of those people, but she didn't mind, but smiled at them, and then looked back to see that her grandson didn't listen to her, and scolded in her mouth, so she bent down to pick it up herself.

These tender pumpkins were beautiful and fresh, and she didn't want to leave them on the ground and break them.

It's just that she has to hold the wooden cart that is too heavy on the one hand, and she has to hold the pumpkin at the same time, so it is inevitably difficult to move.

Suddenly, the wooden cart was unstable and was about to fall to the side, so frightened that she hurried back to her senses to help.

"Be careful."

At this moment, a gentle and neutral voice sounded, and with a gust of fragrant wind, she felt that she was supported by a pair of very delicate and beautiful arms.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Ping'er has seen Grandma Liu, and the last time Grandma Liu entered the house, she was also in charge of the reception.

Therefore, when she saw that Grandma Liu was about to fall, she immediately stepped forward to help.

"It's okay, girl, I'm fine...... It's you, I'm sweating, don't touch me, carefully stain your clothes. When Grandma Liu saw Ping'er, her old face immediately smiled.

and hurriedly asked Ping'er to let go.

Their home is dozens of miles away from the capital, and in order to come early, she can be tired enough along the way.

Therefore, although she had taken a special bath before coming, she still looked a little dirty at this time.

Ping'er was not rude, and after letting go of Grandma Liu, she scolded those young guys: "One by one, they only know how to be lazy and slippery, and they don't have any eyesight?" I don't know if I look at it! ”

Ping'er helped Wang Xifeng with the housekeeper, and most of the people in the family recognized him. Therefore, when she is angry, she is still quite powerful.

The little guys suddenly didn't dare to sit down, and got up one by one.

The one who was more alive immediately changed his attitude, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, give us the car, and we will help you push it." ”

"No, thank you, thank you......"

Grandma Liu was still prevaricating, and Ping'er had already seen the things in the car clearly.

I admired more and more in my heart, so many things, she is a person in her seventies, and she can still move......

So he said: "Grandma, you can come, why bother to get these, there is no shortage at home, but it makes you bother." Have you ever fallen on the road? ”

Grandma Liu naturally said that it was okay, and said with a smile: "Don't dislike it, girl, it's all planted in our own field, this is the first wave of this year, and I want to give the girls and grandmothers a taste." ”

"It's hard to bother."

As she spoke, Ping'er asked the little servants to send their things to the kitchen, and at the same time led Grandma Liu and Ban'er to sit in a cool place, and said that Mother Jia wanted to see her.

Grandma Liu hurriedly excused herself, and said with her hands dancing: "That's not good, that's not good, how can a person like me see such a distinguished person."

Girl, spare me.

With the support of Mongolia last year, our family survived the cold winter, and we are here to express our hearts. Originally, I thought that if I could meet my second grandmother, it would be best to say hello to her in person.

Since there is a happy event in the house, then we should not disturb it.

Ban'er, come here, let's go......"

Grandma Liu is desperate to leave.

However, Ping'er and Zhou Rui's family came by order, how could they let her leave like this.

Naturally, he pulled her, persuaded her, and said how easy-going Jia's mother was, and she liked to talk to the old people who had been accumulating, and if she didn't come to see her, she would do something like that.

Grandma Liu hesitated.

She thought, such a top-level honorable birthday star, she naturally can't disobey, if she really walks strongly, I'm afraid that the other party will think that she is disrespectful, but it is not good.

Therefore, I can only be bold and agree to come down.

However, she still said again and again that she looked indecent and couldn't speak, and when she met Jia's mother, she must ask Ping'er and others to help take care of one or two.

Ping'er and the others naturally smiled and agreed.
