"Oh, it's windy today, what's the good thing about standing there blowing? It's not an outsider, what's polite? Mrs. Wei was slightly different, walked a few steps, took her brother-in-law's hand, and said.

"It's okay, I haven't seen you for many days, and I've been thinking about my sister-in-law for a long time." Mrs. Wei Er also said with a smile on her face.

"Mother, it's all a family, don't be so polite, let your uncle and aunt come into the house and sit." Wei Da and his wife also greeted him at the door, and at this time, Fan stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Look at me, old foolish, patronizing and happy, and even forgetting about it." Mrs. Wei Er hurriedly said, "It's all ready, just waiting for you to come." ”

Mrs. Wei's brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they have their own politeness, so at this time, they took a group of men, guided by Wei Changrong, into the living room, drank tea and talked,

"When I listened to the letter from dinner that day, I said don't bother, if you want to talk about the family, you don't need to make such a big fanfare." The ladies all entered the upper room, and Mrs. Wei sat down on the kang, took the tea brought by Wei Xiaoyu, and spoke.

"What's the trouble? Once a year, I am usually busy, I have this heart, and I don't have this time to get together, and the work in this easy field is almost busy, just when I am free, everyone gathers well. Mrs. Wei Er said enthusiastically.

Mrs. Wei instructed Pan to take out the gift she brought, and Mrs. Wei naturally gave in before putting it aside.

"Where's the eldest daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Wei picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and asked strangely when Wei Changgen's family was not seen in the room.

"Ah, it's really annoying to say," Mrs. Wei Er pushed the candied fruit plate in front of her forward, "Didn't Changgen worship his brother with Yang Zongjia in the city?" Someone came just now, panicked, what to say for today's holiday, that Yang Zongjia drank too much, fell and injured his leg bone, and now he is carried to the house, there is no one in charge, the old and young have no idea, and specially ask Changgen to take care of it. You know, no matter what, you can't look at people in trouble, Changgen's two people are kind-hearted, they want to go when they hear this anxious thing, and they are afraid that his uncle and aunt will blame him, so don't go, don't say that someone is pleading, and I really can't let go of my heart. ”

"This is as it should be, what are we not happy about?" Mrs. Wei didn't want to listen to this ostentatious nagging anymore, so she interrupted at the right time: "People have such an urgent matter, so they should help it, so naturally they can't look at it." ”

Although the chief official is not big, in the eyes of the people in the village, it is a hot errand, and the old lady Wei Er's eyebrows fluttered: "That's what you said." Or do I say, your uncles and aunts are reasonable people, and they will never blame you, you should hurry up and take a look, but you have to help others. ”

"Then the eldest daughter-in-law and a few little pets, why haven't you seen them?" Mrs. Wei asked again.

Mrs. Wei Er picked up the teacup and said lightly: "If it were someone else's house, it would be fine, this Yang Zongjia's wife and eldest daughter-in-law also get along well, and the children are like brothers, no, I was afraid of panic there, so I went over together." ”

But where would Qingwan believe this? With the Cheng family's two people, a good show that has been planned for so long, can you not wait and watch it at home? But hiding out at this time, not to hide from suspicion, what is it?

Everyone knows that the Cheng family and the Qing Boding family are not harmonious, and if something happens, they will first suspect that the Cheng family planted the blame, so they deliberately made the appearance that they were not at home. It's just this little trick, I'm afraid it's useless today!

Qingwan was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Wei Xiaoyu speak loudly on the side: "Sanniang, this dress is really bright today, which tailor's craftsmanship is it?" ”

Suddenly, the eyes of a room of people all looked in one direction, and Lu was a little embarrassed, and he swallowed: "It's not, the material that your third uncle got back a few days ago, I saw that it was a popular pattern this year, even if it wasn't cut, it would be fashionable next year, so I made a dress to wear." ”

"Yo, the third uncle is really good, he can get such good material back," Wei Xiaoyu said with a little mockery, "But the third uncle was deceived by selling rice that year, didn't he say that he would never do business again?" ”

Lu's face suddenly flushed: her husband Wei Zhongding, is the most poor of several brothers, has always only known how to shoeing and eating in the field, a few years ago, I saw Wei Da doing business, and his eyes were very hot, he listened to other people's words outside, harvested rice and sold it, but he didn't expect to understand the world, he didn't know people, the man ran away with rice, and the person who asked for money blocked the door, but there was no way, and he sold all the money since he got married, and he paid off all the debts, but he also lost a lot of money, and he fell into a slump from then on.

After this incident, Wei Zhongding swore never to get involved in business again, which was also Lu's heart disease, and he was the most reluctant to let people say it, at this time, when Wei Xiaowei mentioned this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?" ”

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Wei saw this, and hurriedly made up two sentences, "This is sent by your Sanniang's mother's family, and she also made a body for Hanshan, I was afraid that the child would get dirty, so I was reluctant to let me wear it." ”

The Lu family was still a little afraid of her mother-in-law, and she also knew today's occasion, so she didn't dare to make a fuss, so she snorted, don't turn her face, and no longer pay attention to Wei Xiaoyu.

Wei Xiaoyu didn't seem to care, Shi Shiran walked to the window and stood, fiddling with a needle and thread.

"It's not too early," Mrs. Wei Er deliberately eased the atmosphere in the house, "It's time to eat, the fourth family, you go to the kitchen to Zhang Luo, little girl, go to the hall to invite your uncle." ”

Wei Xiaoyu agreed, then slowly put down her work and walked out reluctantly. Here the three concubines of the He family hurriedly said, "Let's also go to the kitchen to help." They all followed Fan.

"I heard from the people in the village that the little girl seems to be engaged? I was going to ask, but when the festival was approaching, there were many things at home, and I couldn't take a break, so I delayed until now. Mrs. Wei said, "Which family has been decided?" ”

Looking at her granddaughter's back, Mrs. Wei Er couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, don't mention it, it's about the Luo family in the neighboring village." That family is very solid, only such a biological son, looks good and passable, people are also smart, it is a satisfactory marriage, who knows that the little girl is very good-tempered, and she has been reluctant to know it, no, I have been making trouble at home for several days, and the noise makes my head hurt. ”

"That's a good thing, why is the girl like this?" Old Lady Wei said strangely.

"It's not that the child's family is ignorant, I told his mother about her several times, and it was better. I always say that I want to marry in the city, and I don't want to think about it, so you are also a yellow-haired girl from the countryside? I don't know how thick the sky is, it's all her father and mother who are used to it, and she doesn't even understand how to do it! "Mrs. Wei Er is also a little hateful.

Sure enough, as her mother said, Wei Xiaoyu is used to being spoiled, and she is always compared with Wei Xiaojiao, so she naturally looks down on her relatives in the countryside, and it is reasonable to want to climb high and become noble. But looking at this posture, Mrs. Wei Er seems to really want to promote this marriage, with her unprofitable temperament, if there is no cheapness, she can't be in such a hurry.

Qingwan pondered in her heart, and sure enough, she heard Fan's who came in with the dishes and spoke with some dissatisfaction: "Your old man only thinks that his family is solid, and he doesn't look at it, there are still six or seven sisters-in-law in the family, and two of them are sick and crooked, and I don't know if I can marry them in the future?" Isn't this all about being a sister-in-law? The trouble lies ahead! ”

As he spoke, he slammed the plate on the table, glanced at his mother-in-law with resentment, and went out again.

"What do you know?" Seeing her daughter-in-law's demeanor, Mrs. Wei also became angry, and turned her head to complain to Mrs. Wei: "Sister-in-law, that is, you can understand my thoughts, aren't we all old people for the good of our children?" But no one understands! I have to make you angry! I really have no place to sue! ”

"Brother and sister, don't worry, I know everything," Mrs. Wei also persuaded in an understanding tone, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, let's take our family as an example, isn't it the same, all of them make you worry about it endlessly, but you are still white-eyed like a wolf, where do you care about your thoughts?" ”

"That's right, what a good family affair this is, my sister-in-law is from Luojia Village, I have heard of it before, the uncle of the Luo family boy, who works in the yamen of the county seat, is very powerful, whoever has a word lawsuit, and puts the money in the seal, he has to give him filial piety every year, begging him for protection, and the aunt will have such a good family in the future, but there is no need to worry about anything!" Unexpectedly, Lu came in with a plate, but he interjected loudly with a little pride.

Mrs. Wei Er was a little stunned, she didn't expect the Lu family to know the people from Naluojia Village, so she was caught off guard: "Really?" I don't know. If you are not in the Yamen, it has nothing to do with our villagers, as long as the children are good. ”

At this time, everyone understood the true intention of marrying this family, Mrs. Wei Er put the money in Yinzi, and she has always had to deal with the yamen in the city, and she spends a lot of money every year, which must be because she has taken a fancy to this relationship, thinking that she can have a reliance in the future.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said," although Mrs. Wei was jealous and envious in her heart, she had to say: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu is still young and ignorant, just teach her a few more times." The old man's good intentions will be understood when she becomes a family in the future. ”

As he was talking, he saw Wei Xiaoyu also come in with a plate, so she didn't mention it. In the hall, the men also came, and suddenly the still wide room was crowded with people.

"Today is a family banquet, and if there are no outsiders, you are welcome. It's been a hot day this year, and I saw that everyone was still wearing big clothes outside, and it was crowded together, but it was very hot, and they all took off and sat there again, and then entered the bar. Mrs. Wei Er said.

"It's small in the house, or I'll take the kids to eat later." Ho said.

"What my aunt said is that today is a festival, and we have to be reunited, if you can't get together, I'm afraid that the hearts of a few old people will not be comfortable, second sister-in-law, you just listen to your aunt's words."
