Chapter 56: The Birthday Banquet
"Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law?"
"Why are you here? Come and see the excitement? Sun walked out of the room with a gloomy face.
"You ......"
I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I have already lost my appearance, and my face, which was already mean, has prominent goose bones and sunken cheeks at this time, and Chen Xi is even a little scared.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sun became even more impatient: "Our two families are very busy these days, so let's talk about something." ”
"Forget it, you're still busy with your own business!"
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he ran out with a smoke.
After sleeping and feeling a little better, he walked out of the house: "Who came just now?" ”
"Who else can watch the excitement, hurry back to the house and sleep, and take care of people at night!"
The Yang family is now living in dire straits every day, with two boys, two big dogs, and two dogs going to school every day.
As always, the two girls go to the mountains every day before dawn to collect firewood and look for wild vegetables.
As for the four adults......
The two grandsons of Village Chief Liu's family are seriously injured, and even if they have passed the dangerous period, they must be guarded at all times.
Therefore, the two brothers of the Yang family began to divide labor, guarding every inch for twelve hours a day.
"When is such a day a head!" The flesh on his face was gone, and his face was full of anger.
"How do I know, don't blame your son, otherwise can, if you don't want to guard, you have to take out the silver!"
The husband and wife glanced at each other and reluctantly entered the house.
……
After Chen Xi came out of Yang's house, he asked two older people to help, and at the same time gave out a lot of eggs.
As soon as she returned halfway up the mountain, she saw Steward Liu coming over.
"Lady, my old lady wants to see you for something!"
"See me?" During this period of time, I used to send snacks every day and meet three points of affection, Chen Xi and the old lady already had some affection, but they had just met in the morning, why did they come to invite someone again?
The housekeeper still smiled: "It's a good thing to go this time, let's go quickly, we can come back before dark!" ”
Chen Xi thought about getting into the carriage.
As soon as she walked into the old lady's courtyard, she heard a cold snort.
"A sparrow is a sparrow, even if it is a very branch, it is just a sparrow."
It's this nasty voice again, even if Chen Xi doesn't look back, he knows that it is Gu Wanhua, the eldest daughter of the county order, who is immune to these acidified Chen Xijiao.
She walked straight to the old lady: "Hello to you, I don't know what you are looking for me to do!" ”
"It's a good thing, it's my birthday party in a few days, I want to invite you to come over and be the chef, you don't have to worry about everything, you just need to command."
Such a good thing.
Chen Xi almost didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, I will definitely do my best." ”
This is not only a premiere for Chen Xi, but also an important appearance.
There is still a whole month before the birthday banquet, and she can lose weight to less than 150 pounds by hard work, and her medicinal diet diet diet will definitely be a hit at that time.
After all, there is a living example of myself.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and finally laughed unconsciously.
"In the end, she is a village girl who has no rules, and she dares to be presumptuous in front of the old lady!"
It's the annoying Gu Wanhua again, Chen Xi came back to her senses, and wanted to ask her if she robbed her husband and children in her last life, otherwise why wouldn't he be able to get along with him?
Chen Xi was used to her cold words and smiled.
The old lady suddenly calmed her face, slammed, and put the teacup heavily on the table: "More and more unruly, little lady, I'll send someone to send you back now!" ”
"Then thank you, old lady." Chen Xi quickly walked out with the old housekeeper.
She sat in the carriage, and her mind was full of scenes of money, and she longed for time to fly by, and suddenly it would be a month later.
Chen Xi was in a good mood and was about to fly, and in the county mansion, the old lady was furious.
"How many times have you said this uncontentiously, you must treat each other politely, and now you are still saying those sour words there, believe it or not, I will send you to the temple now, and I will restrain my mind."
"Grandmother, it's not fair, I'm your granddaughter, but you're so nice to that dead fat man! The granddaughter is not convinced! ”
has been petted in the palm of her hand since she was a child, Gu Wanhua has always been arrogant and domineering, so she never took the old lady's warning to heart.
Now seeing that the old lady was going to send him to the temple, the anger in his heart burned suddenly.
"Look, look, this is your adopted daughter, I don't know how thick the sky is, in this small county, your father can cover the sky with one hand, but out of this county, you ......"
The status is low, these four words came to her mouth, and the old lady couldn't say anything.
She said with a decadent face: "You only know that I am good to that woman, but you know what the reason, his identity is not simple, maybe one day we will have to ask others, you ......"
Suddenly feeling very tired, the old lady waved her hand and let everyone go out.
As night fell, the county magistrate had just returned, and he learned that the old lady was angry.
He hurriedly walked into the old lady's yard and pleaded guilty: "Mother, don't be angry, these are the son's faults, and the son's education is inadequate." ”
"Forget it, don't you know yet? I am busy with things outside every day, how can I have the energy to care at home, I really regret marrying you to a daughter-in-law of a small family! ”
It is said that the old lady is also a noble and extraordinary birth, but it is a pity that before she got married, her mother's family committed a crime, was demoted to a commoner, drove out of the capital, and lived in this small county, and finally married the father of the county order.
Speaking of Mrs. County Order, the mother and son sighed leisurely.
"It's all because my mother is useless, I can't marry you a noble girl!"
"Mother, my son knows that you have done your best, although she has shallow knowledge over the years, but fortunately, she has been doing her best to help her son manage the backyard and raise the children."
It's just that whether it is a son or a daughter, some of them are raised with no one in their eyes, and they don't know the height of the sky.
Before she finished speaking, the old lady knew it, she thought for a while and said: "You stay here for ten years, and in another two years I want you to return to the capital, and the children at home must also be taken care of, so I want to ......"
"Mother, no, I know that you are all for the good of your son, but if you raise all those children by your side, it is too tiring!"
The old lady was very moved by her son's news, but he had a more long-term vision: "Back in the capital, if you want to gain a foothold, you have to rely on marriage, and the children in the family must be disciplined!" ”
……
After dinner, Chen Xi returned to the house with a basin of water.
"Scrub ......"
It was the familiar melody again, Yang Tinghan stood in the yard to clean up the prey, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
