I saw her stumbling under her feet, as if she was standing unsteadily under the drunkenness, and the frightened arms suddenly hugged her neck. Rather than expecting her mother-in-law to be like this suddenly, she hurriedly freed up a hand to hold her.

"Mother, be careful! Put Zhengrong down, how old he is and still holding it. Zhengrong, come down and go play with a few of them. Grandma hasn't sobered up yet, aren't you afraid of being dropped? ”

I'd rather see the wind and rudder and help my mother-in-law find the bottom of the steps.

At this time, Zhengrong also felt that there was no sense of security in his grandmother's arms, so he bounced his legs to the ground.

Cao Wanli put her grandson down.

Malt snorted coldly and muttered: "I really know how to pretend, come to Liu Bei's set of children." It's sinister and cunning enough, I'm not used to it! ”

Teng Miaoqian also muttered: "This wine can still be drunk to the stomach of a dog?" Pretending to be confused, it's not been three and a half days, and I want to be a blessing! ”

Zhengrong ran to the side of the fifth and sixth aunts, and soon joined the ranks of the four children playing with stones.

Cao Wanli rubbed her temples, squinted at Malt and Teng Miaoqian, and saw that the two of them had very bad faces, so she immediately made a 180-degree turn in her attitude, and said apologetically: "Today's wine is really strong, I was greedy for two more cups at noon, and now I am still dizzy, I really drank too much!" Wine is really not a good thing, I don't know what I said just now, it's really not a good thing to offend people! It's purely a family affair, so I can make you laugh! ”

For example, Wu Jinlu and Wu Jinqi and Wu Jinqi and his wife even suspected that Wu Jinfu and Wu Jinxi had embezzled money when they were taking care of business in the county. Just because the old man of the head of the family is here, he doesn't dare to tear his face and make contradictions!

Liu Xingmei listened to everything in her ears and saw it in her eyes, and naturally understood what was going on in her heart. smiled and pushed the boat, rounded the field and said: "Although it is your family matter, it is also because of my 'goblin', so I have to say a few words." In my opinion, it's nothing, this person who can drink, if he doesn't drink too much, it means that he can't drink. You didn't say anything nonsense, you are an elder, you should have the right to educate your children, this is the eldest mother's education of her nephew, it is considered to be due, and the nephew is not the same as your own child? It's nothing, if their parents listen, they will understand that everyone will be grateful. With such a big family, it is good to help discipline the children. ”

Mei Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, not saying what was in her heart: "You will drink, and you will sleep on the tree after drinking!" ”

Cao Wanli listened to Liu Xingmei's words of exculpation and appreciation, and she was somewhat relieved, thinking that her words were convincing.

As for Mai and Teng Miaoqian, when they heard Liu Xingmei, who was an outsider, speak, what the two of them needed to hear was fairness. Hearing her say this, she was obviously biased, and she frowned, and her face changed under resentment.

Wu He and Mei Xiang on the side were also a little anxious.

Cao Wanli said: "I mean well, I'm afraid others won't appreciate it!" ”

Liu Xingmei didn't look at Malt and Teng Miaoqian, but looked at Wu Huan Wule who was standing with her hands down, and said with a smile: "How can you fight a goblin with a wooden stick in your hand?" You have to borrow a golden hoop stick from Sun Wukong! This boy has to have a boyish personality, have masculinity, and look vibrant. It would not be good if they were all well-behaved and quiet, and that would look cowardly. I think these two brothers are good people, and it is unavoidable to be playful at this age. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers, and the more naughty and mischievous boys are, if they take the right path in the future, they will be more promising. The tree is naturally straight, so you don't have to worry about it. Fortunately, it was the old lady who appreciated her face, so that I could get the Tao family's seniority back, otherwise the people who faced your Wu family would not know what to call it, and it would be awkward to speak. I have served the Wu family's rice bowl a few times, and the people of the Wu family do not underestimate people, so I don't feel that I have a raw part, what to say, I don't hide it, and I don't have a bias. In the minds of the villagers, the unity and harmony of the Wu family is what people envy and learn, otherwise it is difficult to be respected, and don't forget 'family and everything is prosperous'. Besides, the mood of the married girl and the mood of the daughter-in-law are two different powers, which need to be understood. I still want to say, if you educate boys to be submissive, soft and weak like Jia Baoyu, is it okay to be neither male nor female? I myself am a woman, but I like the character of men, and I have admired Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan since I was a child, because they are like men, they have ideals and ambitions, if they only rely on the awl and embroidery needle in their hands can they go into battle to kill the enemy? In these war years, men have to shoulder the responsibility of defending their families and the country, so that the nation can see hope. ”

Mai and Teng Miaoqian, who were listening attentively, were convinced by Liu Xingmei, not only exonerated their son, but also praised her, and had to admire her sharp teeth and impeccable accusations. A young woman who was greatly praised by her father-in-law has become famous in the village day by day, and she is really smart and can do things, turning a hidden crisis of discord between concubines and concubines into invisible, who can still intrigue and provoke trouble? Whoever can continue to resist and hold grudges will be blamed for her unreasonable and unreasonable person who destroys harmony.

Cao Wanli was secretly ashamed.

Mai and Teng Miaoqian are also self-examining.

Indeed, a happy and harmonious family needs to be maintained by understanding and forbearance.

Ni Ting, who was observing her face, saw that the situation suddenly improved, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Xingmei gratefully.

This time, Tao Zhenzong no longer hesitated to take the lead and applaud, followed by Mei Xiang Wu He, Rong Fanhui and Ma Zhitu, and then everyone. Originally, everyone could also realize the contradiction of the Wu family's "mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings", Cao Wanli's mean words are provocative, if it weren't for Mai and Teng Miaoqian's scruples to restrain them, then this angry fuse would really be lit, so would this happy event be happy and smooth?

Speaking of which, fortunately, Liu Xingmei's handling method was decent and effective, and the incident was avoided.

Presumably, few people present were willing to watch the excitement, because it would affect the mood of drinking wine, including Meng Guoan and Kong Wu. Liu Xingmei's intelligence resolved the contradiction between the Wu family.

Liu Xingmei waved her hand to stop: "What about when I'm giving a speech?" What's the matter! ”

Her humorous words made everyone laugh.

Cao Wanli, who was grateful, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xingmei's hand and said, "You kid, with this clever mouth, the dead can be said to be alive." I don't know how I found it, it's really clever enough. ”

"I don't have that skills."

"It's your fault, who told you to drink so well? Drink me too much, otherwise can you be so ugly?! ”

"Blame me, if I drank more, it would have been more. This amount of alcohol can be practiced, my family is not as good as your family, you can't drink wine every day, this drink will have to satisfy your hunger for a while! ”

"Look at what you said so pitifully, then come to my house if you want to drink wine, and the wine in my house is like the water in the well. Having said that, don't our relatives still have winemaking! ”

Liu Xingmei smiled: "That's a good dare!" But I have a problem, I like to be lively, but I have to be accompanied by the eldest mother, second mother, third aunt, and fourth aunt, in the atmosphere of feeling home, so that I can have fun. You don't know how much I envy your big family, and this life is just a personal life. It's not like my family, my in-laws are not there prematurely, and now Zhenkun is not at home, and there are only three chickens and black tigers left at home, and there are probably only rats! I-"

Her heart was sour when she said this, and her voice was a little choked.

Mai and Teng Miaoqian understood her kindness.

Malt said excitedly: "The door of the Wu family is always open for you, you are welcome to come at any time, and I will definitely accompany you to drink." ”

Teng Miaoqian also said sincerely: "The Wu family has rules, but it does not restrict women from drinking. Except for children, they will drink more or less. I'm not drinking much, but I'll do my best to keep you there. ”

Liu Xingmei said: "As long as you don't hate me, you will come to disturb me when I want to drink." ”

At this time, Zhu Le, who had always maintained a quiet attitude, stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and jumped off the stool, because his legs were short, he needed to jump up and down the stool. He pointed to the gate and said, "Look, where is Changfa!" ”

Chang Fa, who was hiding at the gate, heard that he was named by the eldest wife, and felt a cool breath coming from behind his neck. Now that he has been discovered by the damn Zhu Le, he has no intention of continuing to peep here. He was gritting his teeth and scolding: "you ancestor, you are a little man, you are so ungrateful, I would have known that you were like this, I wouldn't have saved you, let you be the companion of that Japanese in the sinkhole!" ”

He had heard that Wu Jinfu's wife was now a powerful master, and others called her the eldest lady behind her back, and some people said that she was Wang Xifeng (of course, he didn't know who Wang Xifeng was). Except for Mrs. Wu, she is the second in charge, and she almost has the power to say the same. Thirty-six plans are the best policy, or it is better to slip away. He looked up at the lanterns on the door, and regretted that he shouldn't have played with the Wu brothers on such a day. So, he quietly wilted with the wooden knife in his hand, and put his gown on his shoulder. As he walked, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the wrapping paper, threw the candy cube into the air, and leaned up to catch it with his mouth. When he looked up again, he found that his father appeared not far from him, and he wanted to hide but it was too late, so he had to twist his scalp and continue to walk forward.

"Daddy!"

"Why are you not doing this if you don't help with the work?" Meng Wanpeng asked.

Rong Fanhui said that there is nothing to do, the work in the kitchen is all a woman's business, and I can't interfere. It looks like I'm done with it, and I'm all gathered together to squeak the mountain whistle! ”
