Chapter 185: End
Unlike when Zhao Yinyan's family came back, Zhao Jinyan's family came back in a more comfortable mule cart.
On the mule cart, Zhao Jinyan, Cheng Xingmeng and their three children sat on the mule cart, and the hired coachman was driving the car.
Who let them have no car at home, the mule cart is still rented from a rental house.
"Dad, mother, Xingmeng and I are back," Zhao Jinyan held her big belly and shouted excitedly towards the courtyard.
Thanks to the past few months of getting along, Zhao Jinyan's feelings for the Li family have become thicker.
When she was in the city, Zhao Jinyan rarely went out after winter, and there were many fewer opportunities to see the Li family, so that now that Zhao Jinyan went home and missed the Li family even more.
Li Shi in the kitchen heard the noise, and quickly patted Zhao Yinyan beside him, and the two of them hurriedly came out of the kitchen one after the other, "Jin Yanxing Meng is here, the road is cold, hurry up, hurry up and go into the house to rest,"
As he spoke, Li turned his head and shouted loudly towards the hall, "In charge, Jin Yan and her son-in-law are here, quickly take out the hot soup and hot tea prepared at home." ”
After shouting, Li smiled, stretched out his hand to support Zhao Jinyan, who was about to get out of the car, and dragged the person off the mule cart.
And Zhao Yinyan on the side took the opportunity to bring down the three children of the two.
Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan are people who marry before and after, so that the time of pregnancy and childbirth is not too much.
Zhao Jinyan's eldest daughter Cheng Yunyue is nine years old this year, the same age as Zhao Yinyan's eldest son Zheng Shuangzhu, the second daughter Cheng Yunduo is seven years old this year, the same year as Zheng Shuangbai, and the youngest son Cheng Jiasheng is only three years old this year, and he is still a little doll who walks crookedly.
Glancing at Zhao Jinyan's bulging belly, Zhao Yinyan said in her heart, in the end, it was also bittersweet.
Zhao Yinyan didn't say much, just lowered her head and asked Cheng Yunyue in a low voice, and then pulled the three children directly into the hall.
Inside the hall, Zhao Fuxiang listened to Li's words, and had already prepared the hot soup and hot tea prepared at home, and now there was a white porcelain bowl in front of him, pouring soup and tea into it little by little.
A few adults didn't do anything to save face, but the children around them didn't hold back, and one of them served a bowl and drank it in his hand.
Zhao Fuxiang beckoned Cheng Xingmeng to come and sit, and by the way, he called out Zhao Shanxing, who was Wen Shu in the room, to accompany the guests.
There's no way, who let the eldest son-in-law be a scholar, and he can't talk to him.
Zhao Jinyan was helped into the inner room by the Li family.
Afraid that the house would be cold, Li deliberately moved the charcoal basin over and put it at Zhao Jinyan's feet to bake.
"Mother, don't be busy, it's okay," Zhao Jinyan waved her hand, seeing that her mother valued her so much, the smile on her face did not decrease.
"How's your stomach?" Li didn't say anything, staring at Zhao Jinyan's belly for almost five months.
When Zhao Jinyan heard this, she reached out and touched her bulging belly, and her tone was soft, "Don't make a fuss, even the doctor said that this child is happy." ”
"That's not bad, this kid is an obedient person," Li was relieved, and then grabbed another handful of dried dates and put them in front of Zhao Jinyan, "No, eat some to pad your stomach, I'll serve the rice." ”
After saying that, Li was about to go out.
Seeing this, Zhao Yinyan on the side didn't stay any longer, said I'll help my mother, and chased Li out of the door.
Seeing Zhao Yinyan chasing after him, Li disagreed, "What are you doing here?" "How can a sister-in-law go back to her parents' house and come to work.
"Mother, my sister-in-law is not here at home, just you, where are you busy coming over," Zhao Yinyan glanced at the quiet courtyard, and understood what was going on, she reached out and rolled up her sleeves while cleaning up the pots and pans on the stove, "I'm also a family member, come and help you." ”
After listening to this, although his expression was still a little condensed, the warmth in his heart rose, and his gaze softened a lot when he looked at Zhao Yinyan.
No matter what she said, Zhao Yinyan also felt sorry for her before she came.
"Cheng, you can serve the food in a while," Before the two sisters came back, the Li family had prepared, and the meals at home were prepared early, so there was no need to be busy now.
"Well, I see."
…………
Li Shi got busy.
First, the pork rib soup stewed in the iron pot was served, and then the braised pork pieces simmering in the clay pot were brought out, and the braised pork was also served on the plate...... Zhao Yinyan looked at the various dishes on the board, and was secretly surprised in her heart, her mother, this time she could give enough face to the two of them.
The cooked meals were served to the dining table of the hall by Zhao Yinyan one after another.
Until Li cooked the last green vegetable soup, the meal was complete, and the meal was officially opened.
All the adults and children who were still at home were served.
Zhao Jinyan was also helped out by her eldest daughter Cheng Yunyue, and sat next to Li's side, with Cheng Xingmeng and her two children on the lower side.
Zhao Yinyan's family is sitting in Zhao Jinyan's family, and down there are Zhao Shanxing, Zhao Shanlin's brothers and the children who stayed at home.
At the top, there are Zhao Fuxiang and Li.
As usual, Zhao Fuxiang first said a good omen, and then, the big guy ate the meal lively.
After eating, the juniors in the family went back to the house to rest, while the adults all sat in the hall and chatted with the soup and tea in their hands.
After about two quarters of an hour, Zhao Fuxiang saw that Li came back, so he directly took out the things that the old couple had prepared in advance.
"The things in here," Zhao Fuxiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the two back baskets covered with straw mats, and said to Cheng Xingmeng and Zheng Hao, "It's all a return gift for you, go home in a while, take it back." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Haoyou couldn't help but look down at the back basket placed in front of him.
Although the top of the basket is covered with a heavy straw mat, there are holes around the basket, and you can still see what is inside.
Multigrain wine, snacks, dried fruit pastries, fabrics...... A basket full of backpacks is almost a necessity for visiting relatives and friends.
And looking at the device, there are quite a few.
"Dad, where is the need for so much?" Zheng Haoyou was a little embarrassed, their family of four came over, and what they took was just a normal gift.
"Whatever is polite, let you take it, you will take it,"
"Yinyan, you bring it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law for me!"
"At the beginning, Xiao Wu's matter, but it bothered your parents-in-law a lot, in the end, Xiao Wu was not angry, and in the end, the matter was settled," this is their family's loss, and Zhao Fuxiang is embarrassed to say anything more.
"This sentiment, I should have gone with your mother in person, but last year, the family was very busy, both the shop and the field, and there was no time, which was rude."
Zhao Fuxiang smashed down such a big chase with a performance, Zheng Haoyou was directly dizzy and dizzy, and he couldn't say anything to refute it, why?
If you say it, you won't see it.
Li Shi took the time to interject, "Your father is right, friend Yinyan, you two hurry up." ”
Zheng Haoyou, Zhao Yinyan......
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in their eyes.
Zhao Yinyan nodded, so she had to put away the back basket.
While rubbing the frame of the back basket, Zhao Yinyan was secretly surprised in her heart, it seems that her mother's shop has indeed made a lot of money this year, and the fabric in the basket alone is expensive enough.
After talking about Zheng Haoyou, Zhao Fuxiang turned his head to look at Cheng Xingmeng, and said the same thing again, so that Cheng Xingmeng couldn't refute it, so he had to accept it.
But in the end, taking care of his face, Cheng Xingmeng thought that the gift he brought was indeed a little thinner, and after a while, let Zhao Jinyan leave some more silver as filial piety.
In addition, Li took out the bacon, sausage, lo-mei and some raw pork that the family had made years ago.
Divide some of the same, and let the two families take it back and eat it as an ordinary meat dish.
Then, the Li family gave each of the children twenty copper plates separately as New Year's money.
"It's all collected, the money is not much, it's just a little bit of grandma's heart."
Several children were happy to receive it, even if Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan repeatedly said that it would not work, it would not work.
said some more and didn't, seeing that the sky was getting overcast, and the Li family was not there to stay, so he was busy sending the two daughters away.
