When the game was played, firecrackers were released, and Xu Lan went to rest because of the three of them.

It seemed that he had just fallen asleep, and he was woken up by the crowing of a rooster again, and Xu Lanyin got up to make breakfast for Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wuyao didn't want to go home for four days, so Xu Lanyin not only prepared daily necessities such as tooth powder and cloth towels for him, but also a few packs of snacks for him to share with his colleagues.

Sending Zhao Wu away, Xu Lanyin went to sleep again.

When I got up in the morning, I saw that Qin was wearing a white-washed cloth coat and a wooden hairpin on his head, and he didn't even wipe the balm to protect his face.

Xu Lanyin secretly scolded a few words of Old Man Xu, and his malicious guess made the Qin family dare not live casually anymore, even if the Xu family was widowed, he had to stop his heart. This is the sorrow and hardship of ancient widows, not only to bear the grief of their husband's early death, but also to look at other people's faces and live carefully. If it weren't for the old lady's sensibility, the Qin family would have been even more difficult in this family.

A few people first burned paper for Xu Qingyan at the root of the wall, and then went to the big house to kowtow to the old couple to greet the New Year, took a red envelope, and then went home for breakfast.

Old man Xu was very satisfied when he saw Qin's dress, and felt that he had reminded him correctly. It seems that if a woman wants to remember her duty, she still has to beat it often.

After the meal, Xu Lanzhou, who was wearing a silk robe, rushed to the county seat, he was going to pay New Year's greetings to the county master's house, the Hong family, the Hu family, and the husband's family. Usually, Hong Zhen and his wife will return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, but because Hu's due date is next month, they dare not leave anywhere.

Xu Lanting followed Xu Dashi and Xu Wish to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village.

At noon, Xu Lanzhou came back, smiling and stretching, looking very proud.

Xu Lanzhou said that the county magistrate specially recruited him in the county yahoutang, and Uncle Min went out to pay New Year's greetings, and the second and third masters of Min were all sitting, and he sat for most of the quarter of an hour, answering questions from the county magistrate such as where to study.

As soon as the little boy said this, he was excited, and his little face flushed. Before, he always felt that he would definitely not see the Qingtian Master, and it would be good to be able to talk in front of Steward Tang.

Hu Wan, the eldest son of the Hu family, went home for the New Year, and asked Xu Lanzhou to convey his gratitude to Xu Lanyin, discussed some academic problems with him, and gave him a book of stickers and two high-grade oil and smoke ink.

Hong Zhen said that he had a guest on the eighth day of his junior high school and invited Zhao Wu and Xu Lanzhou to be guests. He also specifically said that several officers in the army would be invited this time, and for the sake of Zhao Wu, he also specially invited the county lieutenant Sun and Zhang Zhutou.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, because the Qin family did not have a maiden family, Mrs. Xu asked Xu Ershi to invite the four of Qin's mother and son to the second room for dinner, and the aunt Xu Zhiniang's family and cousin Xu Daya and his wife wanted to go back to their parents' house.

The Qin family didn't go, she said that she wouldn't go out if there was no major event in the future, and let Xu Lanyin's three sisters and brothers go.

Xu Lanyin didn't want to go, and the relationship between the original owner and Xu Zhiniang and Xu Daya was not good.

Xu Zhiniang didn't like the original owner very much before, and every time she went back to her parents' house, she scolded the original owner, and pinched her when she was angry.

Xu Daya is about the same age as the original owner, and she played very well when she was a child, but since the original owner and Gu Wangchen got married, the relationship has slowly become intimate. The main reason is that the Gu family does not allow them to have more contact, for fear that Xu Daya and Xu Lan will lose because of their learning.

But Xu Erniu came to call her again, saying that her sister-in-law had returned to her parents' house, and her mother was too busy to be alone, so she asked Xu Lanyin to go over to help.

When Xu Lanyin went, Xu Daya and Xiang Gongfang Sanfa had already come.

Xu Daya looks like the Gu family, belongs to the beautiful little lady in the countryside, and has been pampered since childhood, so she married into the Fang family, which opened a grocery store in the town. The Fang family heard that the Xu family's dim sum was different, and asked Xu Daya to go home several times to ask for the recipe.

The Gu family didn't know Fangzi, the Li family didn't dare to give it, and the Fang family didn't get their wish, and they were very unkind to this daughter-in-law.

The Xu family was very unhappy with the Fang family's approach, but considering Xu Daya's future life and relationship with men, they didn't dare to offend Fang Sanfa too much, so they could only knock on the side and let him come forward to persuade the family. But Fang Sanfa is a coward, and he promised well, so he didn't dare to come forward to help his daughter-in-law when he went back.

After Xu Lanyin went to the upper room to say hello, she went to the kitchen. The Gu family was busy, the big-bellied Xu Daya was helping to light the fire, and the two of them were whispering. Xu Daya, who was pregnant, not only did not gain weight, but also looked haggard.

Seeing Xu Lanyin coming, Gu quietly begged, "Because of the girl, let's help your eldest sister." Don't ask for much, just give a recipe. With such a large territory in the Daimyo Dynasty, the small Xu's shop can't even finish the business of the county, so where can it take care of other places. Give the Fang family a prescription, our Xu family can't lose. Besides, those apprentices haven't learned yet, and they may go out on their own in the future......"

Xu Lanyin also sympathized with Xu Daya, but she couldn't help with this favor. The Fang family is not authentic, how can there be such a person who forces his daughter-in-law to ask for the secret recipe of her mother's family, this is obviously bullying the countrymen.

She smiled, "The Xu family's shop belongs to the Xu family, if I dare to tell Fang Zi without authorization, my grandfather and grandmother will beat me to death." Otherwise, the eldest aunt will ask my grandfather and my grandmother first, and if they agree, I will say. ”

Gu was so angry, where did she dare to ask Old Man Xu and his wife, if she dared to ask, it would be light to be scolded. She also asked Li before, and Li also said the same thing, and the eldest son was not happy.

Looking at the sad Xu Daya, Xu Lanyin persuaded her a few more words, almost to take care of her body, pregnant women are worried about the fetus, and so on.

Xu Daya sniffed and ignored Xu Lanyin, thinking that she was not afraid of being killed if she sold land, but she was afraid of giving a prescription. There is only one recipe, and it can't affect the business of the shop, these people would rather allow the daughter of the family to be angry at their in-laws' house than help this little favor.

Xu Lanyin didn't speak again.

Hearing Xu Daya talk about the difficulty of being in her mother-in-law's house, the Gu family was extremely distressed, gritting her teeth and scolding the Fang family and Fang Sanfa.

After a while, the courtyard became lively again, and it was Xu Zhiniang who came with her husband and son.

They entered the house to greet the old couple, and Mrs. Xu took the ten-year-old Bi Li into her arms. Xu Zhiniang's eldest son, Bi Zhuang's family, went to her daughter-in-law's house and only brought this younger son.

Xu Lanyin and a few people entered the house again to say hello.

Xu Zhiniang is between Xu Qingming and Xu Qingyan, thirty-six years old, a bold woman, very similar to Mrs. Xu. Bi's brother-in-law is not good-looking, simple, and especially afraid of his wife. Although he is a farmer, his family has more than 20 acres of fertile land, and he has also hired long-term workers, so he is considered a first-class household in the village, and the life of the family is very good.

Xu Zhiniang had a good relationship with the Qin family, and seeing that the Qin family did not come, she hurriedly asked Bi Li to send the gift she brought to the Qin family to the second room. She rarely smiled at Xu Lanyin, praised a few words, and pulled Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanting to talk. He also felt very sorry for Xu Lanting, a little sick seedling, and teased him in his arms.

"Ouch, I finally got some flesh on my face, how difficult it is......"

Xu Lanyin, Gu Shi, and Xu Daya went to the kitchen to be busy again, and Xu Zhiniang also came in later.
