This Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet still ushered in a complete result.

Mrs. Xie had a straight face, and was unhappy to be pushed onto the table by Pearl and Mrs. He. Wen and Xie Xianzhi took the lead in toasting her, but she ignored it, Xie Huizhi gave her food, she was picky, and everyone was embarrassed. However, Xie Mulin took the initiative to beckon everyone to eat vegetables, as if she hadn't seen her black face at all, and her unhappy face couldn't be put on.

Because Xie Mulin would really ignore her, the other children also seemed to have learned badly from Xie Mulin, one by one, they just lowered their heads and ate big, communicating with each other which dish was delicious, and no one honored her with chopsticks. If she continued to sit still, she would really be hungry.

Wen's daughter-in-law thought of giving her vegetables, but Mrs. Xie wanted to take the opportunity to count Wen's once, and she bowed her head and said silently, but she didn't say a word of agreement. When she finished counting, Wen continued to give the vegetables to the children, directing the girl to deliver a certain dish to a certain child, and occasionally giving her a chopstick, but she was not as sincere and frightened as before.

Mrs. Xie was so depressed that she was dying. She couldn't figure out when these juniors in the family became bold? I've learned to ignore her!

She wanted to get angry and flip the table, but she couldn't bear to smell the aroma of the delicacies on the table. She's really hungry, what if she lifts the table and there are no new dishes in the kitchen? Xie Yingzhen's dead girl hasn't done this kind of thing......

In the end, Mrs. Xie could only reluctantly eat the dishes, occasionally taking a sip of osmanthus wine, the taste was still as good as she remembered, and there were several dishes, she had never tasted them in Jinling before, and she didn't know where Wen got them. She was eating and drinking, and slowly left all the anger and grievances in her heart behind.

By the time the banquet came to an end, everyone was full of wine and food, Mrs. Xie was still a little drunk, Xie Huizhi told a few jokes to make fun, and she laughed louder than others.

Xie Mulin exchanged glances with the two elder brothers, and they all secretly snickered in unison.

The sound of fireworks erupting could be heard in the sky. Xie Huizhi hurriedly rushed to the window to take a look, and shouted: "It's fireworks in the county!" I've heard for a long time that there are a few big families in the county this year who will get together to set off fireworks, and the Yang family originally had a share, but after Yang Si's incident, there was no follow-up. Now the owners of several grain stores and silk mills are paying the money, all of whom are wealthy, and the fireworks released are not ordinary goods, I heard that they are specially bought from Suzhou. ”

When everyone heard this, they all went to the window to watch the fireworks, and Xie Yingfen pulled her younger brother out of the room and stood under the porch to look at the sky. It's a pity that the old house is a little far away from the county seat, and you can only see a few small golden flowers, which is not enjoyable at all.

Xie Mulin wanted to say that he could go to the second floor of Meilu to watch the fireworks, which were higher and unblocked, so he must have seen more clearly than here, so Mrs. Xie spoke first: "What can I see here?" Go upstairs and take a look! Better view upstairs. ”

Xie Huizhi hurriedly hugged her with a smile, and helped her walk towards the stairs step by step: "Old lady, you go first, if you want to watch the fireworks, it should be your old man who sees it first." ”

Mrs. Xie was coaxed by the third grandson to smile, although she drank a little too much wine and her feet were not very stable, but with Pearl and Xie Hui on one side, she also went upstairs very steadily. When they arrived at the window on the second floor, several people looked up to the sky, and sure enough, they could see much clearer than downstairs, and there were a few more clumps of fire trees and silver flowers in their field of vision, which was by no means something that could be seen downstairs.

Everyone in the Xie family was busy crowding around the window on the second floor to watch the fireworks, although it was a little far away, it was also very interesting.

Mrs. Xie also said to Xie Huizhi, I commented on those fireworks one by one, one was picky and said that the fireworks were too few, not as good as those in Jinling City, and the other immediately echoed "You are right"; One ridiculed that the person who set off fireworks was not capable enough, and he didn't have any rules, and the fireworks that were originally good were all wasted by him, and the other immediately praised "Where do ordinary people have such insight as you, old lady?" ”

Such a spitting and cheering, the entire second floor only heard them talking, but what Mrs. Xie said made Mrs. Xie more and more happy, and took the initiative to pat the back of Xie Huizhi's hand: "You kid is really filial and clever." Patting my old woman's ass so actively, don't you want a big red envelope? In a trance, she thought that when she was still in the Xie family, all the juniors had to surround her to laugh and please.

Xie Huizhi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, if your grandson's words can make the old lady happy, it will be the best reward for your grandson, what kind of big red envelope does your grandson want?" ”

"A stinky boy with a sweet mouth knows how to coax people!" Mrs. Xie casually ripped off the jade pendant tied around her waist and threw it into Xie Huizhi's arms, "It's cheaper for you, this is better than a big red envelope!" ”

Xie Huizhi was a little stunned holding the jade pendant, looking back at Xie Mulin and the two elder brothers, all three of them nodded secretly, he was suddenly overjoyed, hurriedly put the jade pendant in his hand, and bowed to Mrs. Xie with a smile on his face: "Old lady Xie reward!" My grandson loves it! The old lady's reward is really good! ”

Mrs. Xie hummed with satisfaction, and when she heard that there seemed to be no movement in the sky, probably because the fireworks had been over, she couldn't help but yawn.

Wen saw that Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi were also yawning, so he knew that they were sleepy, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, the fireworks are over, let's go downstairs." I asked the kitchen to prepare fresh duck porridge, and everyone ate a little to ward off the cold, and then went back to the house to rest, right? ”

Mrs. Xie responded casually, holding Pearl's hand, and her other hand put on Xie Huizhi's arm again, and she was helped down the stairs slowly.

After eating the hot porridge, Pearl gave her a hot towel to wipe her face, and the old lady Xie slowly woke up, and the wine gradually dispersed. After remembering what she had done, the old lady froze there, not daring to look at the expressions on the faces of her grandchildren.

What is this? It's just two more drinks, how can she get drunk to this point?! They all laughed together, and praised the children a few words, how can she still pull down her face and scold people?!

There is also the jade pendant that Fang just gave to the third grandson Xie Huizhi! There are not many private jewelry left in her hand now, and the ones she likes the most and are the most valuable, because she carried them with her, almost all of them were swept away by the coachman on the way south. The jade pendant was later packed by Mrs. Jiang in Jinling and sent over, and it is almost her most valuable jade ornament at present. Today's holiday, she will wear it on her body, but in a daze, she gave it to her grandson casually.

If you want to come back, where will she put the old lady's face?

But if she didn't come back, she felt so distressed when she thought about it.

Mrs. Xie was depressed, and sat there silently.

Everyone actually found out about this, but they guessed that it might be that after Mrs. Xie woke up, she remembered that she got along with them too well and was too happy, and she couldn't get up and down the old man's face, so she put on this appearance. But everything has happened, can they still take the initiative to remind the old lady and let her start the fire against them again?

So everyone pretended to be fine, as if they didn't see Mrs. Xie's expression at all. Everyone ate a small bowl of duck porridge and a piece of moon cake, then got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Xie, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Even the Wen family quickly took the girls and the mother-in-law to withdraw from the table and left, leaving only Pearl and Mrs. He to wait for Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie depressedly freshened up under the waiters of the people around her, changed into pajamas and lay down. I thought that if this happened, she would definitely not be able to sleep again, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep, and it was the most soundly slept night since August.
