When Daddy Liu and Zhang Yan came out of the study, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Renzhang also sobered up, and a large family snuggled up on the kang and laughed about the interesting things of the day, waiting for Daddy Liu and Zhang Yan to come back and have dinner together, Zhizhang saw Daddy Liu and Zhang Yan enter the courtyard through the window lattice paper, and shouted, "Mother, my father and sister-in-law are back, let's start the meal quickly, I'm dying of hunger!" Father Liu and Zhang Yan walked into the room with red faces, Renzhang hurriedly beat Zhang Yan with the snow on his body, Liu Lao Niang helped Father Liu take off his fur jacket, Xigu and Xinzhang stretched out their hands to pull Zhang Yan on the kang, Zhang Yan smiled and asked Xinzhang, "Little brother, has the task given to you by Dad completed?" Xinzhang nodded vigorously, Zhang Yan looked at the whole family, but he didn't see Ai Dao, so he asked Liu Lao Niang, "Mother, what about Ai Dao?" Xigu hurriedly said, "Isn't my eldest sister worried that bad people will come to make trouble at night?" Just guard the door with Brother Shang Zhang at the gate of the compound. Zhang Yan glanced at Daddy Liu charmingly, and then giggled, Daddy Liu instructed Zhizhang, "Go, call your eldest sister and Brother Shang Zhang to come in for dinner, it snows so hard, no one will come to the cave room at night." ”

Zhang Yan wanted to go down to the kang to help serve the food, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile, "Good girl, you are the new daughter-in-law, you can't do housework these days." Renzhang and Mrs. Liu brought the food to the kang table, Xinzhang poured the warm wine on the windowsill for Daddy Liu, Daddy Liu told Xinzhang to pour a glass for Renzhang, Renzhang hurriedly waved his hand, "Dad, I drank too much at noon, and I still feel uncomfortable, I really can't accompany ......" Zhang Yan interrupted his speech without waiting for Renzhang to finish explaining, and said coquettishly, "Renzhang, you are all married, you have to be like a man, you are the boss, and Yizhang is not at home, do you want me to accompany my father to drink?" When Renzhang saw Zhang Yan say this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Dad, then I'll have a drink with you." ”

Father Liu jokingly said to Mrs. Liu, "Renzhang Niang, look, it's really a big deal, Renzhang doesn't listen to the two of us, and starts to listen to his daughter-in-law!" ”

Renzhang hurriedly explained, "Dad, how dare I? When will I listen to you, I'll go out tonight and have a good drink with my father! ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is like a big brother, I will drink two glasses with my father every night in the future, and the amount of wine will be practiced over time." ”

At this time, Shang Zhang and Aidao walked in together, Aidao's hand was still holding Shang Zhang's arm, and Shang Zhang respectfully said to Daddy Liu, "Uncle, I will also accompany you to have a few drinks tonight." ”

Mrs. Liu tiptoed and reached out to pounce on the snowflakes on Shang Zhang's head, Shang Zhang held Mrs. Liu's hand and said with a smile, "Mother, you are going to enjoy Qingfu now, Brother Renzhang and Sister Zhang Yan are married, and there is a good helper in the family." After speaking, he respectfully called Zhang Yan sister-in-law.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Dad, mother, you see, Shang Zhang and Aidao are a match made in heaven, and they are a good match!" ”

Father Liu also looked at Shang Zhang with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Shang Zhang, what did you call me just now?" Did he show you my letter to your father? ”

Shang Zhang nodded, his face turned red, and Mrs. Liu lightly slapped Father Liu, and blamed, "Shang Zhang has called my mother since he was a child, because he grew up eating my milk, what do you have to compare with, can't you call your uncle?" ”

Aidao put her arm around Liu Lao Niang's shoulders and whispered to her, "Mother, you don't know what happened, don't mess around, just change your words." ”

Shang Zhang pounced on Daddy Liu and Lady Liu, and shouted loudly, "Father, mother, be worshiped by my son-in-law Shang Zhang!" ”

Daddy Liu motioned to Renzhang to help Shang Zhang up, Mrs. Liu didn't know what to do, she looked at Daddy Liu with wide eyes, Daddy Liu pulled Mrs. Liu onto the kang, and said with a smile, "Today our Liu family compound is a happy event, Renzhang is married, now I want to tell you, Aidao and Shang Zhang are also officially married today, Shang Zhang is already the son-in-law of my Liu family compound, after more than a year of testing, Shang Zhang and Aidao are a natural pair as your sister-in-law said, but the wedding will be held after Brother Wenhua's body recovers." In addition, I talked with your sister-in-law in the study for a long time, and I decided to let your sister-in-law take over my management of the Liu family compound, that is to say, from now on Liu Zhangyan is the mistress of the Liu family compound, I discussed this matter with your mother a few days ago, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to spend money on me, look for your sister-in-law, what do you have to discuss with your sister-in-law, she is in charge, including the marriage of Aidao and Shangzhang next year will also be handled by your sister-in-law, and I will mainly focus on the affairs of the Liu clan and the village, I will find an opportunity to inform your uncles, uncles, and uncles about Liu Zhangyan's ownership. Aidao, Zhizhang, Xigu and Xinzhang all applauded happily, they all liked and admired Zhang Yan from the bottom of their hearts, Zhang Yan said modestly, "Dad, this is to catch ducks on the shelves, I just entered the door of the Liu family compound, how can I be the hostess of the Liu family compound?" I'm just helping my father and mother share the housework, and it's up to my father to decide on major matters. ”

Renzhang looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, he knew that this family would have to be run by Zhang Yan sooner or later, he was far worse than Zhang Yan in every aspect, and his father had told him that he would go to work at the Huang County Maritime Safety Bureau after the year, in that case, he would not be able to go back to the Liu family compound several times a month, and the responsibility of taking care of his father and younger siblings fell on Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan was the most suitable to be in charge.

Father Liu smiled and said to Renzhang, "Renzhang, you have made a great contribution, today relatives and friends said that you married a Mu Guiying back to the Liu family compound, and your mother and I have a light on our faces." Renzhang said respectfully, "Dad, it's not because you are an old man who is wise, if you don't agree, how can I marry Zhang Yan?" Just like you did to Shang Zhang, if someone else hides so much that he can't hide, don't you still let him be my brother-in-law?! Although I support Zhang Yan to be in charge, you still have to call the shots in major matters, and my second brother Yizhang, with his ability, it is likely that he will stay in the army and make contributions, but in case he returns to Shuangliu Village, I think he is more suitable than Zhang Yan to be the master of the Liu family's compound. ”

Shang Zhang smiled and said, "Brother Renzhang, there is no such thing as a case, Yizhang's ability is more than enough to be the county magistrate of Huang County, Yizhang is impossible to return to Shuangliu Village in this life, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, Yizhang's mission is to open up the territory and expand the territory, and the Liu family compound is the most suitable for the sister-in-law to be in charge, and the father's arrangement is the most reasonable, today you are drunk, I didn't see the scene of the sister-in-law blocking the wine for the father, a teabowl of liquor is at least three or two more, the sister-in-law does not blink and drink it all, I and Aidao are very moved, Drinking alcohol can best see a person's character, sister-in-law is a heroine among women, you and I have to obey her leadership. Shang Zhang talked about obeying Zhang Yan's leadership, and everyone laughed.

Mrs. Liu smiled the happiest, the eldest married such a capable daughter-in-law, which made herself and Father Liu a lot easier, she said to Zhang Yan with a smile, "Girl, your father let you be this family, it's really difficult for you, just we have so many children in the family, plus the mess in the other three courtyards, I have a headache when I think about it, no wonder your father talked to you in the study for most of the day, and I said that I won't do it, this Renzhang follows me closely, not like your father at all." Now that you have agreed to do it, you can do it freely, what is there to discuss with your father in advance, whether your father is in Shuangliu Village or in Huangxian County, he is highly respected, with him behind you to support you, don't be afraid of anything, if something goes wrong, your father will be on top, and your father has more important things......"

Father Liu hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Liu's words, "Renzhang Niang, don't talk patronizingly, the dishes are almost cold, hurry up and get a wine glass for Shang Zhang, my father is going to drink, Zhizhang or you want to drink some too?" ”

Zhizhang said happily, "Okay, Dad! Mrs. Liu glared at Zhizhang and scolded, "What's good, how old is it?" Just drink. ”

Zhizhang muttered, "Mother, I heard my uncle say that when my second brother was as old as Xinzhang, there were guests at home, and he could go to the table to accompany the guests to drink, why can't I?" ”

Mrs. Liu said, "Can that be the same?" Why don't you say that the second brother can help your father load the ship when he is your age, and he can carry hundreds of pounds of sacks, can you? ”

Zhizhang was not convinced, he continued to mumble, "Now that my sister-in-law is in charge, I listen to my sister-in-law, can I drink alcohol?" ”

Zhizhang's words caused several adults to burst into laughter, and Xigu wondered, and asked puzzledly, "What are you all laughing at?" Zhizhang is right, didn't my father say it just now, now my sister-in-law is in charge. ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said to Zhizhang and Xigu, "You two think I'm in charge, so I have the final say on everything?" Daddy and mother let me manage it, don't let me care about me like you two, don't you still listen to your father? Have you heard the storytelling, I am like a marshal, my father is the emperor, my mother is the queen, who do you say you should listen to? ”

Zhizhang had no choice but to put down the wine glass and said stupidly, "Sister-in-law, can you still make trouble in the cave room tonight?" ”

Aidao hurriedly said, "Of course, after eating, you and Xigu will go and call Wei Ji, Nian Shu, poems, and books, let's make trouble with our sister-in-law, okay?" ”

Zhizhang said happily, "Great, sister-in-law is so beautiful, let's not make trouble with outsiders, let's make trouble ourselves!" ”

Renzhang was very proud to see that his younger siblings liked Zhang Yan so much, and thought that this was all thanks to his father for letting go of his prejudice against the Zhang family, so he picked up his wine glass and said to Daddy Liu, "Dad, I toast you!" Then he closed his eyes and drank the wine in his glass, choking on his cough.

Mrs. Liu reprimanded distressedly, "Boss, you are happy, my mother knows, do you still need to drink with your father?!" ”

Zhang Yan also gently persuaded, "Renzhang, you and Shang Zhang drink slowly with your father, and the amount of alcohol you can not practice at one time." As he spoke, he poured another glass for Renzhang.

After eating, Father Liu said to Mrs. Liu, "Renzhang Niang, you play with the children for a while, I have to go to sleep." Renzhang wanted to get off the kang to wait for his father to sleep, but he was unsteady on his feet and almost fell.

Zhang Yan helped him to the kang and said with a smile, "You and Shang Zhang are both drunk, Aidao and I will help my father to sleep in the West House." ”

Daddy Liu waved his hand, "I didn't drink too much, so no one cares about me." ”

Zhang Yan still got off the kang and Aidao and came to the West House with Daddy Liu, Zhang Yan said to Aidao, "Eldest sister, I see that Shang Zhang has also drunk too much, while he is still sober, you can send him home quickly, I will serve my father here, I will go get some warm water for my father to soak his feet." ”

Aidao was very moved in her heart, she couldn't imagine that her sister-in-law was so filial to her father, she held Zhang Yan's hand and said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother married you, it is really a blessing for my father." ”

Father Liu waved his hand at Zhang Yan and said lightly, "Xiaoyan, no need, if you want to wash it, let your mother wash it for me!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said to Aidao, "Eldest sister, look, Dad is still embarrassed." ”

Aidao put his arms around Daddy Liu's neck and said with a smile, "Dad, your heart is happy, right?" Xigu and I are going to get married sooner or later, and in the end, it's not my sister-in-law and great love who will serve you. After saying that, he ran out to deliver the business seal.

Zhang Yan added some coal to the coal stove, made the foot-washing water and brought it to the kang, and said softly while washing Daddy Liu's feet, "Dad, I will wash your feet every day in the future." ”

Father Liu said to Zhang Yan lovingly, "Xiaoyan, you have worked very hard these days, I will kill a rooster early tomorrow morning, and let your mother stew chicken soup for you to drink, so as to replenish your body." ”

Zhang Yanjiao smiled, "Dad, hen soup is enough to replenish your body." ”

Daddy Liu smiled and said, "Then kill another hen, the rooster is fried as a wine and food, and I will invite your grandfather to come over for a drink at noon tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, stood up and looked at the door, Daddy Liu hurriedly said to Zhang Yan, "Xiaoyan, I heard movement outside, right?" It must be that this girl is eavesdropping on the adults at the root of the window again, and if you have anything important in the future, you will come to the study to talk to me, understand? ”

Zhang Yanyan smiled and said playfully, "Dad, you are so cautious, I will listen to you in everything in the future."
