Zhulan didn't eat at her mother's house, she sat for a while and went home, her father had money in her hand, and her father and mother were fat, she had nothing to worry about, she just didn't know, when the second brother's family would come back, yes, it was the second brother's family, and the second brother's family lived with Wuhe.

Zhulan gave her mother's New Year's gift in advance this time.

She also has to prepare a New Year's gift for Lord Chen's family, a New Year's gift for Lord He's family, and this homecoming is a thing.

Yamen, Lord He said in a low voice: "Lord Zhou's smile has never stopped, if I didn't know that Lord Zhou's wife is back, I would be cautious in my heart." ”

Lord Chen pursed his lips, "Lord Zhou's lady didn't come back, my lady is yin and yang every day, this time the person is back, don't you come to the door in person to verify?" ”

Lord He's expression stiffened, he was born in farming, his father-in-law's family is powerful, he is no different from his son-in-law, Lord Chen also has a concubine and two concubines, he has a concubine who doesn't dare to go, he is also sad these days, the lady wants jewelry in and out of words, but where does he have money, and he is holding it in the hands of the lady!

The most disturbing thing is that the lady always thinks that he has private money, but he really doesn't have private money, he wants to save it, but he doesn't dare!

Lord Chen and Lord He sighed at each other, and then how did they see how Lord Zhou was unpleasant!

Zhou Shuren didn't know that he was disgusted, he couldn't wait to tell everyone, he was happy, "Lord Chen, Lord He, I'm in for a treat in this restaurant." ”

Master Chen, "......."

Lord Ho, "......."

No, they don't want to go, but they want to scold, it's rare for Lord Zhou to have a treat and not go!!

Zhulan came home, Li held her stomach, where Zhulan went, where Li followed, Zhulan, "...... You're not too tired to follow me with your stomach up? ”

Li's short and chubby little hand tightly pinched the corner of her mother-in-law's cloak, "Mother, I just want to follow you." ”

Zhulan's heart is soft, soft, only she can get used to Li's in this family, she is not at home Li's heart is uneasy, Li is pregnant and easy to think blindly, thinking too much and being emotional, she is willing to cry, "Follow it!" ”

Li grinned, "Hey! ”

Juanhua raised her eyes and looked at Li, she wanted to ponder, how could she stay with the eldest lady completely, she was clear in her heart, the eldest lady completely hugged the legs of the main mother, and it was less to reward with the eldest lady, but there were not so many bad things, and she was at ease!

There is a housewife who supports the eldest wife, no one dares to snub the eldest wife, no matter how many people there are in the future, they will be polite to her.

Zhulan counted the New Year's gifts to each family, and Zheng Hong of the Zheng family also wanted to give them, and after calculating it, Zhou Shuren's annual gift in the first year of his official year was a large amount of money.

Fortunately, she brought back some rare items such as vegetables and fruits from the south, and she didn't have to buy them for rare items.

Li followed his mother-in-law, a little speechless, "Mother, are these all to be sent away?" ”

Zhulan checked the gift list, and replied, "Yes." ”

Li Shi heard the head of the house say how much silver it cost to buy vegetables, etc., her heart twitched when she listened, and when she ate the vegetables, she thought silently in her heart, every bite she ate was silver money, and now she has to send away a few catties and catties, "Mother, will it be like this every year in the future?" ”

Zhulan said faintly: "There will only be more in the future." ”

Unless Zhou Shuren is demoted or deprived of his official position, there will really be more and more New Year's gifts.

Li was reluctant, "Mother, wouldn't that cost a lot of money every year?" ”

Zhulan smiled, "There is no autumn harvest in Lizhou City this year, and the people are sad and have few pennies in their hands, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., have not celebrated and have not given gifts to each other, and so on next year, these festivals will have to be gifted." ”

Li's arithmetic is the best, and he quickly calculates the accounts, "Mother, I'm distressed." ”

Zhulan smiled, she liked Li's straightforward and wrinkled face, "You just want to give it out, forget that the gift is also mutual, let me tell you, Lord Chen's family has a tea garden, the tea must be on the list of return gifts, and Lord Chen's family must return good tea, and our family doesn't need to buy tea next year......."

Zhulan said one by one the possible return gifts from each household, and the Li family's mouth opened wide when she listened, "Mother, how do you know so clearly?" ”

Zhulan nodded Li's forehead, "This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's other, you think that only my mother understands, and the situation of our family is not a secret." ”

Li felt scared when he thought about it, and when he thought about being in charge, it was good to be stupid, Li felt that without the shrewdness of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was better to do his duty, so as not to know how to die.

Zhulan returned to the yard, Dong came over with the account book, Dong tried to ignore the sister-in-law, she was a step late, and was preempted by the sister-in-law, she also wanted to follow, but it was too deliberate, "Mother, this is the cost of the needlework room when you go out." ”

Zhulan didn't look at the account book, she set a lot of rules for the account room, and it was difficult to make fake accounts in the Zhou Mansion, "I handed it over to you, there is nothing to worry about, take the account book back, there are still some days before the New Year, the New Year is removed from the old and the new is welcomed, and the family makes two sets of clothes." ”

Dong was pleased with her mother-in-law's trust, and asked with a smile, "Mother, what about the next person?" ”

The descendants of the Zhulan family, Zhulan stipulates that there are two sets of clothes in each season, and the clothes worn by the subordinates are cotton and linen fabrics, which are not expensive, and eight clothes a year are necessary, and the subordinates are also the faces of the Zhou family, and the clothes must be decent.

Zhulan thought for a while, "On the first New Year of this year, the people under me are also wearing new clothes. ”

Dong said: "Mother, I have written it down." ”

Zhao came from the kitchen, Zhao wanted to come earlier, but she had to arrange what to do at noon, especially when her mother-in-law came back, the dishes couldn't be sloppy, and her mother-in-law didn't eat well, which meant that her father-in-law was unhappy.

Zhao came in, "Mother, Chang Lian ate roast whole sheep at Mengju's house, you see, you are back, and you eat one like this at night?" ”

After several years of observation, she found that her mother-in-law and father-in-law liked to eat more and more, so she proposed it, and she thought her mother-in-law would like it.

Dong was depressed, Chang Lian also told her, why didn't she remember to mention it to her mother-in-law, Dong lowered her head, two sisters-in-law, the second sister-in-law was the most scheming.
