Chapter 296: The Thoughts of Relatives

Speaking of Chen Erlin's family, Chen Erlin walked in front with the reins of the horse, Zhang Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi sat on the horseback, and then Dachu and Daying sat on the back of the horse, and the last horse carried four large baskets.

This journey can be regarded as safe and smooth, but last night in the guest house in the small town passing to Zhangjia Village stayed overnight, early in the morning, Chen Erlin and his party set off on the road again.

At this time, they are less than two miles away from Zhangjia Village, but because Zhangjia Village is remote, the path into the village is only a small mountain road, but it is much better than the road in Fangjia Village, at least this mountain road is one or two times wider than the road in Fangjia Village.

"Mother, when can I go to my grandmother's house?" Xiaozhi turned her head to Zhang Xiaoxia, who was holding her in Houcheng, and asked, this way, under the scorching sun, it can be regarded as suffering these little babies.

"Soon, along this path, you can see Zhangjia Village by turning over the notch in front, your grandmother lives in Zhangjia Village in front, and my mother often walked this small mountain road when I was a child." Zhang Xiaoxia said to Xiao Zhi, and the junior Da Ying behind them.

Half an hour later, a large area of farmland suddenly appeared in front of the group's eyes, a small river passed through the middle of the farmland, at the end of the river, is a swamp pond, all kinds of birds fly off and fall, along the trail in the distance, a not small village, surrounded by the surrounding farmland, and this village, is the destination of their group Zhangjia Village.

"Children, there is Zhangjia Village in front, we have to hurry over, the sun is too hot, when you get to your grandmother's house, you have to be obedient, don't be naughty." Zhang Xiaoxia looked at the village in the distance and said to the three little babies.

"Mother, we won't be naughty." Xiaozhi is the youngest little girl, and she is naturally loved by Chen Erlin and his wife, and Xiaozhi is also the most distressed villain, and they will feel more distressed than the early Daying.

A group of people went on the road again, walking towards Zhangjia Village, Zhangjia Village said that it is not big, it is not small, compared to Fangjia Village, it is a lot, and the place where Zhangjia Village is located, although there are a lot of swamps, but it is also rich in products, such as lotus and lotus root.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Chen Erlin and his party finally came to the entrance of Zhangjiacun Village, and after a day and a half of travel, they finally arrived.

Zhang Xiaoxia raised her eyes and looked at the village, at this time, because it was noon, naturally there were not many people outside, and Zhangjia Village did not have a big banyan tree like Fangjia Village to enjoy the cool or something, and some trees were just some ordinary small trees, not very tall, the highest was only two zhang high.

"Turn a corner, and we'll be at your grandmother's house, husband, let's go." Zhang Xiaoxia introduced to Xiaowa, urging Chen Erlin to continue moving forward.

"Mother, mother, we came to see you." As soon as she turned a corner, Zhang Xiaoxia shouted loudly towards an earthen house.

"Grandmother, aunts and uncles, we have come to see you." The three little babies also followed Zhang Xiaoxia and shouted loudly into the earthen house.

"Xiaoxia, why are you here, come in quickly, come in quickly." Yu Jiao and the others heard Zhang Xiaoxia's shouts outside the door, and hurriedly came out of the inner room to open the door.

"Second sister-in-law, let's carry these things into the house first, and the horse will be tied to the tree outside for a while." Chen Erlin hurriedly picked up a few people from the horseback and untied the basket.

"Big brother, Dali, hurry up and help." Yu Jiao looked at such a large number of things, estimated that the weight was not light, and urged Zhang Dachong and her husband Zhang Dali to help.

"Xiaoxia, Erlin, it's rare for you to come here, what else do you bring, next time you bring something over, I won't let you enter this house, don't worry about us in the future, we're doing pretty well now." Zhang Xiaoxia's mother, Yu, stood in the door of the house, looking at Zhang Xiaoxia's family outside the door, although her mouth was blaming, her heart was as sweet as honey.

"Mother, it's not a valuable thing, it's rare for us to come once, and Xiaozhi and they have never been here, so why don't you bring them over to see you." Zhang Xiaoxia knew that her mother was not blaming her, she just liked to say that.

"Then come in quickly, Dachu, Daying, Xiaozhi, they have all grown so big, and my grandmother is old, and when you get married, I don't know if my grandmother will be able to drink your happy wine." Yu Shi pulled the three of them over, touched their heads, and muttered in their mouths.

"Grandmother, you are in good health, when we get married in the future, my grandmother will definitely be able to come and drink our wedding wine." Da Chu helped Yu Shi and spoke.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your favorite wine to drink, hahaha." After listening to Da Chu's words, Yu Shi was so happy in his heart that he laughed again and again.

After everyone entered the house, they introduced each other to the family, because Xiaozhi had only been here once when she was a baby, so naturally she was not very familiar with these relatives, and Yu's third son had never seen it, and of course there were other peers in the family.

"Xiaoxia, are you okay in Fangjia Village? I have become more and more disadvantaged in the past few years, I want to go to see you, but I can't go so far, I always listen to your eldest brother and second brother talk about you, fortunately, you have lived a good life over the years, and my mother is relieved. Yu Shi sat on the chair and asked Zhang Xiaoxia.

"Mother, we're doing okay, it's the same as before, but it's better than before, the early days of Daying Xiaozhi and they also went to the academy to study, and now they all start to dislike me as a mother." Zhang Xiaoxia responded to Yu's with some small jokes in her mouth.

"Huh? At the beginning of the year, did the three of them enter the school to study? Studying in a small town or going to school in a county town? It's good to study, so is the money in this house enough? After hearing what Zhang Xiaoxia said, Yu and the people next to him were envious, but they were still very worried about Zhang Xiaoxia and his wife, who were studying for three little babies, and this money cost a lot.

"Mother, at the beginning of the year, they didn't go to study in other places, but the books they studied in the Fangjia School were also the schools built by Fangjia Village themselves, so they didn't cost money." Zhang Xiaoxia introduced it to everyone, introducing the changes in Fangjia Village in recent years, as well as the situation at home.

"No wonder, Fangjia Village is now turned over, and a school has been built, and the little brother of the Fang family is a rare good person, with so much money, he voluntarily paid for his family to build this school, just to give the little children in Fangjia Village a place to go to school, okay, okay, in the future, our family will be able to produce a literati in the early days of Daying Xiaozhi, my mother is happy." After hearing Zhang Xiaoxia's introduction, the stone in Yu's heart fell to the ground, but after Zhang Xiaoxia's introduction, he was even more shocked in his heart.

After hearing this, the other people who had been accompanying them were not only shocked, but also envious, envious that Zhang Xiaoxia's family could have such a good nephew as Fang Jing, and even more envious that Fang Jing was willing to spend such a large sum of money to build the Fang Family School, of course, such a good thing was not their turn, and they also understood in their hearts, they could only envy in their hearts.

"Mother, Jing Wazi said before that our mother's family can also send a junior to the Fang Family Academy to enroll, although there is only one place, but it's better than nothing." Zhang Xiaoxia suddenly changed her painting style, and said what Fang Jing once said, each family in Fangjia Village can allow a student to enter the Fang Family School, although it needs to be in the fourth year, but this is also a good thing.

"What? Xiaoxia, can this matter be taken seriously? Our family can also send a junior to the Fang Family School to enroll? You didn't lie to us? After listening to Zhang Xiaoxia's words, Yu Shi and Zhang Dachong Yu Jiao were so excited that they hurriedly opened their mouths to confirm to Zhang Xiaoxia.

"I didn't lie to you, it's true, but Jing Wazi said that this matter will have to wait until the year after tomorrow, because the Fang Family Academy has only been open for two years, and the time is not in a hurry, so I didn't dare to tell you about it." Zhang Xiaoxia said seriously to her mother's family.

"God bless, the little brother of the Fang family is a good person, this is a great thing, Da Chong, I want to kill a few chickens today, and I want to celebrate today, this is a happy event for our Zhang family." After hearing this, Yu Shi was speechless with excitement in his heart, and his eyes were full of tears, and he commanded Zhang Xiaoxia's eldest brother.

"Okay, this matter is indeed a big deal for our family, mother, I'll catch chickens at dinner in a while." After hearing this, Yu Jiao, who was standing on the side, was not only excited, but also thinking about who in the family was the most suitable to go to the Fang Family Academy.

For this matter, in addition to Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's family will be happy, but it will also bring some disputes, after all, who does not have a few children in the family, whether this dispute can be eliminated, and finally the old people in the family have to deal with it, not to mention that this is a big thing to read, read books, read and write, at least be able to do an account or something, it is better than shaving food in the field every day.

At that time, Fang Jing's decision, whether it was good or not, whether it was bad or not, was not a bad thing, Fang Jing originally just wanted to drive the relatives of the villagers of Fangjia Village, and it was impossible for all good things to be dominated by Fangjia Village, even if the Fang Family School was owned by Fangjia Village, there were always good people who said some gossip, which made Fang Jing and the village have this decision.

And for this decision, the ultimate beneficiary is the relatives of the villagers of Fangjia Village, the same, Fangjia Village will also benefit a lot, in addition to fame, this kindness can never be lost, at this time people will be the highest reputation and kindness.

At dinner, Yu's family killed two big roosters, one is to wash the dust for the arrival of Zhang Xiaoxia's family, the second is to celebrate the good news brought by Zhang Xiaoxia, and third, it can be regarded as a way to entertain guests, it can be said to be rare to be able to kill two chickens to entertain guests, of course, this can only be said to be a common dish for Zhang Xiaoxia's family, and for the Yu family, it is the highest standard.

"Xiaoxia, my mother knows that killing a chicken to entertain you is a grievance to you, but in addition to two pigs at home, there are these chickens, ducks and geese, and there are no good things at home." Yu Shi sat on the top seat and said to Zhang Xiaoxia's family.

"Mother, it's good to have chickens to eat, the days before, don't talk about chickens, there is a mouse to eat, even if it's the New Year, mother, let's go back to my parents' house once, don't treat us as outsiders, I also grew up in this family, we are a family." Zhang Xiaoxia knows how many chickens, ducks and geese her mother's family raises, and being able to kill two chickens is the highest way to entertain guests, not to mention that this is still Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's family.

"Okay, then I won't talk about it, let's eat together, come, Dachu, Daying, Xiaozhi, this is the chicken leg left for you." Yu Shi was embarrassed by Zhang Xiaoxia's words, and hurriedly sandwiched three chicken legs into the bowl of the three of them at the beginning of the year.

"Grandmother, leave this chicken leg for you and your cousins, we often eat it at home." At the beginning of the year, they hurriedly returned the chicken legs in the bowl, and the three of them knew very well in their hearts that their grandmother's family could not eat meat every day, not to mention that at this time, their cousins and cousins were staring at the four chicken legs with green eyes.

"Mother, don't give them food at the beginning of the year, we will kill a chicken every once in a while at home, and these chicken legs will be left for you to eat." Zhang Xiaoxia hurriedly stopped Yu from holding chicken legs to the three of them again.

"Then this ......." Yu didn't know what to say, when entertaining guests to eat, they always had to come first, how could they give the best part to their own family to eat, but remembering what Zhang Xiaoxia said, we are a family, Yu stopped the chicken leg in his hand.
