Zhang Yan knows that the relationship between Father Liu and Liu Wenxi is extraordinary, aside from decades of friendship between life and death, these two people are peerless masters who are deeply hidden in the folk, and the two cherish each other, and they are like one person. Now that there is a conflict between the badge mother and the Wenxi family, Daddy Liu sends the old lady Liu, who never shows her face, to coordinate, and there must be a hidden secret.

"Dad, why did the badge mother suddenly drink pesticides?"

"The badge lady is asking for troubles for some shadowless things, and the gap between her and Qiu Ju is purely suspicious, you don't know!" After Daddy Liu finished speaking, he raised his legs to leave, Zhang Yan hugged Daddy Liu's waist from behind, and said coquettishly, "Dad, if you don't tell me, you won't want to leave the house." ”

"Xiaoyan, you are becoming more and more like Huilan, you don't change after repeated teachings, let go of your hand quickly, I'll tell you about it."

Father Liu sat on the small stool in front of the coal stove and talked eloquently, and Zhang Yan sat on the edge of the kang to listen attentively.

"Wenting's family and Wenxi's family are neighbors, separated by a low earthen wall in the middle, Wenting often goes to Wenxi's house to help, over the years, and Qiu Ju's relationship has become more and more intimate, especially like your Uncle Wenxi's profession, walking through the streets and alleys during the day, Da Ai and Xiaozhang are small, Wenting has nothing to do to help Qiu Ju take care of the child, and over time there are some ambiguous things about men and women, whether it is true or false, I also know, and I never asked, until last summer, the badge mother cried to find me, crying that Wenting and Qiu Ju are not innocent, I will send you Aunt Huilan to find out what happened, and your Aunt Huilan told me afterwards that Wen Ting once watched Qiu Ju breastfeeding Xiaozhang in the courtyard of Wen Xi's house, and Qiu Ju was open at that time, showing her breasts, but unfortunately she was seen by the badge mother through the wall, so it is not necessary to say that Wen Ting and Qiu Ju are not innocent. This time, on the day of Laba Festival, your mother asked Zhizhang to send some meat and bones to Wen Xi's family, Qiu Ju felt that Wen Xi fell into the ice cave that time, Wen Ting helped a lot, so he called Wen Ting to go over and gnaw bones together, which was originally a good thing, but Wen Ting drank too much that day, when Qiu Ju sent him, Wen Ting stood unsteadily and hugged Qiu Ju and fell to the ground, and was seen by the badge Niang on the other side of the courtyard wall, both times it was a disaster Xiao Wall, this time the badge Niang didn't come to me to make trouble, I heard that she lay on the kang yesterday and didn't eat or drink for a day of sulking, As a result, this pesticide drinking incident happened this morning. ”

"Dad, aren't Wenxi and Wenting cousins who have always had a good relationship?"

"Who says it's not, in the past, Wenxi lived alone in three earthen houses, the roof was covered with a layer of wheat straw, and then pasted with mud, and it leaked everywhere on rainy days, at that time Wenting often went to help, and then I led people to renovate Wenxi's house into what it is now, so that the purlin is still Wenting's family, after Wenxi married Qiu Ju, Wenting and Wenxi's family walked more and more frequently, so many years I also went to Wenxi's house every now and then, every time I went, I could almost meet Wenting helping, to be honest, I admired Wenting very much, you think about it, Two blind people support their families and take care of their children, if there is no real person like Wen Ting to help, what will life be? ”

"Dad, according to what you say, Uncle Wen Ting and Aunt Qiu Ju didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Badge Niang is a mediocre person who disturbs herself, what can my mother do when she goes to Wen Ting's house?"

"This kind of rootless thing, the village committee is not good to come forward, I can't show up, everyone in the village knows that your Uncle Wenxi and I have an extraordinary relationship, no matter what I do, everyone will think that I favor Wenxi, not to mention that Wenxi and Wenting are cousins who have a good relationship, just like the relationship between Renzhang and Zhongzhang, breaking bones and connecting tendons, I have encountered this kind of thing before, I will let you Aunt Huilan come forward, she is the gourd monk who arbitrarily judged the gourd case, and the matter is not settled, but it has not affected the brotherly relationship between Wenxi and Wenting, Today, Shibao didn't go out, so he couldn't go out at home, your mother, she had a good relationship with the badge mother when she was a girl, plus the badge and the righteous chapter are also good brothers, don't look at your mother herself has no idea, but she has an advantage......"

"Say, don't you?" Zhang Yan interrupted Daddy Liu's words with a smile.

Daddy Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, I'll just say, you are very smart, just came into contact with your mother, and you mastered her characteristics, what is a smart person?" People who know people and use people are smart people! ”

"Dad, I found that you always praise yourself in a roundabout way!" Zhang Yan looked at Daddy Liu and smiled coquettishly, she now knows that she can learn things all the time with Daddy Liu, Zhang Yan feels that she is surrounded by happiness, and she has mastered the way to get along with Daddy Liu in private and the proportion.

"Dad, what did you write to my grandfather?"

"I'll ask your grandfather to come to our house at ten o'clock, you just wait at the north gate of the backyard a few minutes in advance, your grandfather will knock on the door on time, and then you lead his old man to my study, and the three of us will talk while drinking."

"Dad, am I here too?"

"You don't want to? That's it. ”

"Dad, you know that I didn't mean that, I mean I'm afraid that my grandfather will ...... when he sees you and me so soon."

"Xiaoyan, you're worried that your grandfather will be suspicious when he sees you and me getting along like a person so quickly, isn't it? Your worries are completely superfluous, you remember, at any time and in any scene, you and I are to be highly unified and in the same step, I said that I married you into the Liu family compound as my daughter-in-law, just to tell all relatives and friends, I Liu Wende is very fond of you, especially your grandfather, he is a brilliant person, to people and things, the world is learned, the practice of human feelings is that the article is your grandfather, don't play smart with smart people! You have also heard, everyone said that Renzhang married me a Mu Guiying, Xiaoyan, why do you say that you are marrying me back, this is because I am the master of the Liu family compound, I need a successor, and everyone knows that Renzhang is cowardly by nature, not to mention that he will go to fight the country to earn the family business, even if he can't keep him, so everyone understands that I marry Renzhang to a daughter-in-law must be a heroine who does not let the women who do not let the eyebrows, which is also the main reason why I observed you for a long time before agreeing to Renzhang marrying you, you entered the Liu family compound a few years late, But now you and I are not familiar at first sight, saving a lot of time for communication and running-in, as the saying goes, sharpening knives is not wrong to chop wood, if you were in a hurry to marry you into the door a few years ago, once you find out that you are not the material of the family, just like Lin Qi, on the surface it is also gentle and beautiful, but in fact, it is not on the stage at all, and it will be too late to regret it at that time, so I have been paying attention to your words and deeds in the past few years. Xiaoyan, you and Renzhang's honeymoon just in time for the New Year, a few years ago I have a big event that I need to do wholeheartedly, I can't separate myself, next spring, I will take you to visit some old friends in the county and military region after I have leisure, introduce you to know them, yesterday's wedding banquet These important people were not present, mainly considering the current special political environment, I don't agree with them to show up on this occasion, so as not to provoke right and wrong, although some of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and some are grass people, But without exception, they are all friends of life and death, to give you a familiar example, on the surface I have not been in contact with your grandfather for more than 20 years, and he did not attend this wedding banquet, but in fact, the relationship between my grandfather and my grandfather is very deep, even deeper than the relationship between you and him, you will understand when you meet for a while. Zhang Yan looked at Daddy Liu with an almost worshipful look, he not only saw himself thoroughly, but also arranged all kinds of major events in an orderly manner, the heavy cultural genes of the Liu family compound were vividly reflected in him, listening to him speak like a spring breeze, so that he unconsciously felt excited, and his imagination was soaring.

Xiao Xinzhang ran in out of breath and said to Daddy Liu in a dumb voice, "Dad, I have successfully completed the task you explained, and Grandpa Whitebeard left me to play at his house for a long time, and gave me a lot of delicious food." Saying that, he took out toffee, walnuts, and pine nuts from his trouser pocket, Zhang Yan picked up the letter and kissed him on the face, the letter peeled off a piece of toffee and stuffed it into Zhang Yan's mouth, Daddy Liu saw that the time was almost up, so he said to Zhang Yan, "Xiaoyan, I'll go to the study first, you tease the letter and go over immediately, but you can't let your grandfather knock on the empty door." Zhang Yan replied gently, "Dad, I know, I'll go over after playing with my little brother for a while, don't worry, I can't delay your business." ”

Zhang Yan came to the hall with Xinzhang, Renzhang was lying on the kang and reading the villain's book, Aidao was busy in the kitchen alone, Zhang Yan joked to Renzhang, "Renzhang, you are really knowledgeable, how old are you and you still read the villain book of Xinzhang, can't you help the eldest sister do some work?" You really think of yourself as a bridegroom. ”

Aidao said with a smile in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, of course my eldest brother is the groom's official, he is not the groom, can he let Xinzhang be the groom's official?" ”

Zhang Yan followed Aidao's words and said, "Eldest sister, you are really right, tonight I will sleep on the west end of the kang with the letter seal, and let your eldest brother sleep on the east end of the kang, so as not to stain his noble body by the letter chapter." ”

Renzhang didn't dare to fight back, and said with a smiling face, "My good daughter-in-law, you have wronged me to death, you ask Aidao, was I helping in the kitchen just now?" I just stewed the old hen for you, and I want to fry peanuts, and I love Daofei to let me rest on the kang for a while. ”

"Sister-in-law, I did this work alone, my eldest brother is the most diligent in our Liu family compound, he does the most farm work in the field, what you hold in your arms is the living ancestor, don't do anything, from time to time still urine kang, that is, the second brother does not dislike him, sleep this summer, due to the hot weather, Xinzhang slept in a circle on the kang, and as a result, a soak of urine did not hold back the second brother's face, the second brother not only did not get angry, but also smiled and said that the boy's urine is much better than Tsingtao beer." Xinzhang gestured to Aidao to prevent her from saying bad things about herself, Zhang Yan giggled, thinking that this second brother Yizhang was really different, she smiled and said to Xinzhang, "Little brother, you and your eldest brother read villain books on the kang, I got to the study to talk to my father, sister-in-law sleeps with you in her arms at night, can you urinate on the kang, can you do it?" Xinzhang nodded happily, snatched the villain book from Renzhang's hand and read it himself.

"Eldest sister, then I'll go to the study, my mother will come back, you tell her that I will accompany my father in the study, and I won't come back for dinner at noon."

"Okay, sister-in-law, when it's done, my eldest brother and I will send it over, you don't show up, I don't know if the wine in my father's study is enough, if it's not enough, there is something in the wine cellar under the east wing opposite the study, you go down to get it, by the way, sister-in-law, my father gave you the keys to the study and the wine cellar, cellar, and family temple, right?"

"My father gave it to me yesterday, and he also took me to visit our cellar and wine cellar, only the family temple didn't go in."

"Sister-in-law, I've never been in the family temple since I grew up, and I haven't been in the Liu ancestral hall in the west of the village."

"Big sister, you'll have a chance to go in soon."

"Why? What chances? ”

"Of course, you and Shang Zhang are married, and when the time comes, my father will accompany you two into the family temple to kneel and worship your ancestors." Aidao was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, she is seventeen years old this year, and she has long reached the age of marriage.
