"The second family's house is really magnificent."

When he walked to the door of Zhu Ping'an's house, Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the door of the red brick and green tile mansion that covered an extremely wide area, and couldn't help but sigh. Uncle Zhu Shouren has not come to Zhu Ping'an's house for a long time, some time ago Zhu Ping'an's house was renovated again, much better than the number one landlord in the village, at first glance, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Second brother, our father and mother have come to see you."

didn't knock on the door, the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren shouted outside the door, and then took the lead in pushing the door in, and then the old man Zhu and the old lady Zhu followed, and then the eldest aunt and they also followed the fish, and finally the third uncle's family.

At this time, her mother Chen was cutting silk cloth on the long table set up in the yard with her daughter-in-law Juan'er, and was preparing to make two sets of clothes for Zhu Ping'an while the farm was slack. This silk cloth was left by those who came to visit some time ago, and Chen picked up a few horses of material and left them comfortably to make clothes for Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu's father is grinding hoes next to the well in the yard, there is more land at home, and there are many farm tools, and it is also a time-consuming errand to grind them one by one before work, but Zhu's father likes to do it.

The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan took Zhu's father's class and drove the ox cart back and forth between the town and the village, so he was not at home.

Hearing the voice of Uncle Zhu Shouren, the three people who were busy in the courtyard raised their heads, and looked at the people in the Zhu family's old mansion with some astonishment.

"Dad, mother, big brother, you're here." Father Zhu put down the work in his hand and greeted him.

"Dad, mother." Chen stopped the scissors in his hand and shouted.

"Grandfather. Grandmother, sit down, and I'll pour you tea. Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law, Juan'er, put down the things in her hand and went to the house to move chairs and stools. Then I went to serve tea and pour water.

"Ahem, yes." Uncle coughed and nodded.

"Ah, second sister-in-law, this is a good satin, ah, yes, look at this color is really beautiful." The little fourth aunt saw the silk spread on the table in the courtyard. His eyes were all green, and with a snort, he rushed to Chen with an arrow step. I couldn't help but put my hand on the silk and touched it.

"Ah, look at how bright this color is, ah, why is it so light. It's so soft to the touch. Our family has raised silkworms. But I really haven't touched the silk yet. Second sister-in-law, you are really blessed. ”

The little fourth aunt touched the silk with her hand, snorted from time to time, and was reluctant to let go of her hand.

Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law squinted one eye, looked at the little fourth aunt with disgust, and flattened her mouth with disdain.

"This color is too plain, it's for Biao'er. I still have half a horse in the house, so if you like the color, take it. Of course. My father and mother-in-law and sister-in-law and two siblings are the same. Hearing the little fourth aunt boast that she was blessed, Chen had a smile on her face. I was going to give some cloth to the old house, and this will be the opportunity to be a good person.

The eldest aunt is used to being strong, especially in front of Chen, and when she saw Chen's face, she was not to be outdone.

Picking up her style, the eldest aunt also walked up to Chen, pretending to look at the silk, but her hand deliberately stroked the hair at the root of her ear, showed the pair of gold earrings she was wearing on her ears, and deliberately shook it in front of Chen.

"It's hot, and my ears are uncomfortable." The eldest aunt said in front of Chen while ruffling the hair at the root of her ear, dangling the gold earrings.

Chen glanced at his aunt's gold earrings, and his face was a little strange.

Seeing this, the eldest aunt thought that Chen was envious, and she became more and more energetic.

"But no, it's getting hotter and hotter this day, and I've only been working for a while, and my hands are hot."

Chen said, then rolled up his sleeves, and then a gold bracelet appeared in front of the eldest aunt, almost not darling the eldest aunt's eyes.

Great aunt

"Oh, this, this is Shouyi has to buy it, I can't say him" Chen exclaimed as if he had just noticed the eyes of his eldest aunt, and lowered his sleeves again.

Father Zhu looked up when he heard this, Chen immediately glared at Father Zhu vigorously, and then Father Zhu lowered his head again.

I have to buy it, you have to buy it.

If it is modern, Zhu's father is estimated to use such a baby's bitter expression but the baby can't say, when Chen followed Zhu's father to the town to see the shop, he saw such a bracelet, just glanced at it, Chen couldn't walk.

In fact, this bracelet is silver, and there is a layer of gold outside, and a bracelet from Zhu's father is more than three taels of silver, which is not worth it, but Chen likes it, and under the roar of the lion in Hedong, Zhu's father can only spend money to buy it.

Great aunt

The eldest aunt encountered a setback, and Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law came out and said something about how many of these kinds of silk are in their mother's house, and there are insects when they can't wear them, and there is a shop in their house that sells silk and satin.

Then the eldest aunt's eyebrows danced again, and she stretched out her hand and compared two fingers, "Yes, yes, you don't know that the handsome daughter-in-law and their shop have to have this amount of gross profit for a year." ”

It means two hundred taels of silver, and after speaking, the eldest aunt felt that she had the upper hand again.

At this moment, there was another person in the courtyard, and there was the sound of a carriage outside, and then a man who looked like a big man came in, followed by the steward and the little girl.

After seeing the ceremony, he explained his intention, this is an official gentry from the town next door, who specially came to visit Zhu Ping'an, of course, he also knew that Zhu Ping'an was not there. After a moment of greeting, he sent a gift list, and then instructed the steward and the little maid to carry the gifts off the carriage.

Not to mention the gift boxes and other things that were removed from the car, just talking about the first gift of the gift list was one hundred taels of silver, which made Zhu Shouren, the uncle who read the gift list on his behalf, smack.

A hundred taels?

This is still given for free, hearing this, the eldest aunt looked at Chen, and instantly her eyes were red like rabbits, and she didn't want to be greedy.

For a visit alone, a hundred taels of silver will be sent, and some time ago, there were two dozen carriages visiting each day, so how much did it cost. No wonder they all have to read, no wonder his father always said that there is a golden house in the book, it turns out that there really is.

Thinking about it, the eldest aunt's eyes are even redder, as for the handsome daughter-in-law's shop that she just said earns two hundred taels a year or something, this will be a drop in the bucket compared to this.

The eldest aunt thought about what she had just shown, and her face turned red at this moment, of course, her eyes were even redder.

As for the little fourth aunt, if it weren't for the little fourth uncle's quick hand to stop this meeting, he would have already pounced on the gift and screamed and turned into an airport security inspector.

Just when the eldest aunt's eyes were red, Chen's heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Don't, don't, we don't accept gifts, we don't want silver, we don't want anything valuable, we don't want any amount of silver."

Chen's expression was like cutting meat, tilting his head and deliberately not looking at the various expensive gifts taken down from the carriage, shaking one hand vigorously towards the visitor, and firmly refused.

Of course, the other hand pinched the flesh on Zhu's father's arm on the side.

God knows, Chen's refusal, how difficult it is in his heart, how painful his heart is, more painful than cutting meat.

belch

Of course, Father Zhu should have known, and his arms were about to be pinched by Chen.

Chen's idea is very simple, his son said that receiving gifts will not be good for him in the future, so he will not accept them. Although I feel how much I feel in my heart, I resolutely refuse to accept it for the sake of my son.

"What?"

Uncle Zhu Shouren almost didn't tear up the gift slip in his hand when he heard this, not to mention the eldest aunt and the little fourth aunt, and his surprised expression was a hundred times more surprised than when he met a ghost.

In the end, at the insistence of Chen and Zhu's father, all the expensive gifts on the gift list were brought back by the visitor, leaving only some things that were not very valuable such as food, as well as a piece of cloth, which was the result of the visitor's insistence.

Otherwise, according to Chen's meaning, it is estimated that it is enough to leave only a box of pastries. (To be continued.) )
