Everyone was beaming, and sat at a large table full of people, and even Yuan Chunhua and Xu Zhang asked her to sit down on the last seat.

The big house is a family of four.

Two rooms, one adult, three children.

Four rooms, five people.

Xu Youde, Xu Zhang's two old mouths.

plus Xu Laowu, Xu Jiaojiao, and Yuan Chunhua.

There were seventeen or eighteen people in total.

The long table for eating was so crowded that there was no space at all.

During the Chinese New Year, Xu Zhang's family did not distribute food, there was no usual attention, everyone loved what to eat, what to eat.

The staple food, the meals, are all placed on the big table, and you can take whatever you want.

If the amount is enough, everyone will be full, and if there is surplus, there is no need to rob it.

It was also rare to take a few catties of loquat wine from the cellar, and everyone poured a glass from both adults and children.

Drink and eat and chat at the same time.

Xu Youde looked happy and said with emotion, "Hey, the year is coming to an end again, a lot of things have happened this year, all of which we didn't expect, fortunately, our ancestors blessed our family, and we all had a thrilling past." Here, I want to praise our family's Jiaojiao, it is thanks to her, the second child's injury was healed by her, and the family's silver was also earned by her, and this New Year's pig is also thanks to her, so our family has to eat ......"

The children in the second room all echoed and said, "Yes, our aunt is the most powerful, and we are all grateful to our aunt." ”

The others had no objections, and they all agreed, praising Xu Jiaojiao unreservedly.

Now, Xu Jiaojiao's status and prestige are very high in the old Xu family, no less than Xu Youde's existence.

Xu Jiaojiao was bombarded with all kinds of sweet words, and said with a light smile, "We are a family, and we should help each other." ”

Xu Zhang's was eating tamales and smiling.

"My old daughter's heart is good, she is the lucky star of our old Xu family. Today's New Year's Day, I won't scold you dogs who don't make it into a mess, anyway, in this family, Jiaojiao is a great hero, without her, our family is probably scattered. With her, our family's life is so prosperous, everyone must think of her good son, don't have a demon moth in the future, and strive to make life as good as possible. In the future, our family will make a lot of money, so we will build a big house, and give it to Da Lang, Erlang will say that the daughter-in-law, the old five will be married......"

Xu Laosi will come to trouble!

Immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, good!" Mother said well, old girl, come, the fourth brother toasts you with a glass of wine, you are a great hero of our family, my unsuccessful fourth brother bothered you, and tricked you into running away to Bingyang City. If it's someone else's sister, you won't care, only you have my brother in your heart, bother, I'm not a thing, I admit my mistake, old girl, this cup is today's New Year's celebration wine, and it can be regarded as my sin wine, come, drink ......"

The enthusiasm is difficult to resist, and the atmosphere is particularly sensational.

Xu Jiaojiao took a sip of embarrassment, "Today's New Year, don't talk about those who are unhappy." ”

Xu Laosi took the lead, and naturally, the other people Xu Laoda, Yao's family, Xu Laoer, and the younger ones all toasted Xu Jiaojiao one by one.

Anyway, it's fruit wine, not intoxicating.

Xu Jiaojiao took a sip one by one.

After toasting Xu Jiaojiao, everyone began to toast Xu Youde and his wife again, and the atmosphere was rare and pleasant.

Xu Jiaojiao ate a round of dishes, and she was almost full.

She took advantage of Xu Zhang's happiness and said, "Dad, mother, the children in the family are still young, I see that Xiao Shiro writes well, and he usually studies very seriously, and he will be sent to the town school to study in the coming year, how about you?" ”

Xiao Shilang was eating, and when he heard Xu Jiaojiao say this, he was pleasantly surprised, but then he was stunned again.

"Aunt ......" means that she is afraid that Xu Zhang's will be angry, so she asked Xu Jiaojiao not to say anything.

The people in the second room also behaved similarly to Shiro, first surprised, and then cautious in their expressions.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao's words came out, not only did the second room react cautiously, but everyone's voices stopped.

Boss Xu's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and sent Shiro to study?

Aren't the children in the second room all mud legs? In the future, when you grow up, you will be able to farm and hunt, what kind of books will you study?

Isn't it a waste of money?

Xu Laosi is here to see the nose and the nose, and the old sister let the children in the second room go to school? So what about the children in their four rooms who are younger and more suitable to go to school? It's good to study, if you get into the show in the future, then their four rooms will be developed!

Xu Zhang's eyebrows raised, "Studying?" What's so good about studying? As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Boss Xu.

Xu Youde coughed lightly, which means that for the New Year, let Xu Zhang's family stop scolding their Xiucai.

Every time, Xu Zhang's looks at Boss Xu, and if he scolds people, he will go down smoothly.

Xu Zhang's gave Xu Youde a blank look, which was regarded as giving him a little face, and he didn't scold him for the New Year.

Xu Jiaojiao lobbied hard, "Mother, I think Shiro is a seedling who reads, you see how neatly his handwriting is, I can only teach him some simple words here, arithmetic and the like, and the articles of the real scholar Kao Xiucai, I don't know at all, the child is still young, can't be delayed, isn't our family living a good life just for the sake of future generations?" In the future, there will be many talents in the family, and it is also very good to raise people. ”

As soon as Xu Youde heard that Zhongxiucai and Zhongjuren, his old eyes lit up, and those who agreed couldn't agree anymore.

"Shiro, your aunt recommended you, are you willing to go to school by yourself?"

Shiro is a smart baby, and when he hears this tone, there is a play!

He didn't want to play it, he couldn't make his family embarrassed and make Xu Zhang's angry.

There is a play, he is naturally a thousand willing.

"I do. I want to study, and in the future, like my uncle, I will show off my talents and win glory for my family. ”

Xu Zhang's eyes were disgusted, if this was not brought up by the old girl, she could not care about the New Year, and she would have beaten people first.

"Did you blow the wind on your aunt in private? You are still old at a young age, you are still talented, you are a middle-class person, and it is not cheap to study...... That's all white silver! Although our family has just passed a little bit, but there is not much surplus silver on hand, your aunt's wine shop has always been an expense, after the wine is made, I don't know what it is, whether it can be returned is two words, you are thinking about tossing our family's silver, reading is not good, then it is like a bottomless pit, can't be blocked......"

This is a complaint.

Boss Xu finally found an opportunity to speak, "Second brother, you persuade Shiro, it's good to have ambitions at a young age, but it's not good to talk big." I have taken the Xiucai exam, and the Xiucai test is one of the talents selected in ten thousand, not a child's mouth can be selected, nor can it be won by writing beautifully. My mother has a point, now that the family is in this situation, the winery business has just started, and there is no silver to waste. Besides, our old Xu family, it's not that there are no readers, Da Lang and I are barely scholars, Da Lang is going to take the township test next year, and not everyone has to study to have a way out, as the saying goes, the line is the champion, you see that the fifth brother will be a senior potter in the future, and the Liao Qing brothers are also very good hunting......"
