Twenty-ninth of the lunar month.

Families are preparing for the New Year.

The small vendors dressed up early and came out to set up stalls with happy faces, and the New Year is coming soon, and many large families have to buy for the New Year.

Many people want to be festive, and they are happy when they look at it.

A horse-drawn carriage drove towards the capital, and the carriage looked tattered, and even the curtains were gone.

The wind and snow poured straight into it.

An old woman in patches shivered with a cold mouth, poked her head out and asked, "Happy New Year, and I wish you happiness and good health." Excuse me, do you know where the Chi family is going? The one who won the champion more than ten years ago. The woman who spoke had a slight flinch on her face, and her breath was full of white mist.

The vendor who set up the stall frowned slightly, but he didn't scold the woman when he saw that the woman was talking pleasantly.

He pointed to the street on the left.

"Master Chi's family? Now, turn left and go straight to his house. Are you here to take refuge with your relatives? "The small vendor just talked about a big deal, and the Lu family bought a lot of things, and this single top has been for him for a whole year.

The old woman coughed twice, a little embarrassed on her face.

"Well, Mrs. Chi and I have been neighbors for many years, and when I came to the capital, I had something to look for her." The old woman did not seem to be very accustomed to dealing with outsiders, and spoke with some caution.

The little vendor's eyes lit up.

"Gee, that's good luck. You are actually neighbors with Mrs. Chi, do you know that Mrs. Chi's eldest girl entered the palace a few days ago. Now, it's the concubine who is favored by His Majesty. It is said that the concubine was born with a beautiful and dignified appearance, and she received great favor when she entered the palace. You're in luck. Mrs. Chi is a blessed person. ”

The vendor's face was full of envy.

"In the past, when Master Nachi entered Beijing, he was just a young man from the countryside. Mrs. Zhu is still the favored young lady of the Zhu family, when her sister entered the palace and received His Majesty's favor, she fell in love with Master Chi, who had nothing. Fortunately, Master Chi later went to high school, although he had another wife in the countryside a few years later, but that wife left within a few years. ”

"The stepson and stepdaughter have all moved out, and they are pregnant again. It's going to be born in the next year. You will be pleased to come here today. As she spoke, she saw that the woman's face was pale.

Stumbled into the carriage and headed all the way to the Chi family.

The vendor was stunned for a moment: "Hey, what are you doing so fast?" Hey, isn't it the poor relatives of the Zhu family who came to fight the autumn breeze, I really think that I am also developed. ”

As he spoke, the vendor next to him pulled him.

He winked: "Do you really think she is Mrs. Zhu's neighbor?" I'm afraid it's the original neighbor in the countryside. Looking at that poor and sour look, how could the Zhu family have such relatives? You've said so many flattering things in vain. ”

The little vendor just patted his head, and he just screamed, so he didn't mean the wrong way.

The two children of the Chi family have already moved out.

But when he saw that the carriage had gone away, he had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, in front of the old mansion of the Chi family.

The old woman was holding a box, her eyes were red, and she was a little sad when she saw the people of the Chi family coming and going.

Such a big house, but there is no place for her.

"Go, go, I've always told Hanako to fight the autumn wind, where is it! Beware of breaking your legs! This is a big New Year, and I saw bad luck. The porter was still stumbling melon seeds, but when he saw her at this moment, he couldn't help but scold angrily.

The New Year is coming in the past two days, and in order to be happy, Mrs. gave her subordinates double the monthly money.

It's finally a good year.

His daughter-in-law also bought a few chickens to simmer in the pot, and she could drink them when she returned in the evening.

Now that my wife is eight months pregnant, when she gives birth to her son, she will definitely be able to reward her with a big red envelope.

"I'm looking for Ji Zhongwen." The old woman had a calm face, her eyes were red, and she was holding a box in her hand.

"Bold, dare to call the old man by his name! What kind of thing are you! The porter's eyes widened.

I saw the old woman hand over a stone-carved concentric lock, "Give this to him." And he said, "I'm looking for him." ”

The porter didn't want to make that trip, but when he saw the old woman's face, he took a sip and went in again to report.

This woman is just like Mrs. Lin led the woman into the door.

With a calm face, he didn't say a word, and there was no discrimination in his words, but people couldn't say no.

Inside the house.

"Your baby is much more laborious than when you were pregnant with two sisters, and the New Year is coming soon, so you can skip the New Year's greetings. I'll take Wan Ting on the Zhu family's side, you're already eight months old, and you're in danger of premature birth, so don't run away. Master Chi was full of smiles.

Zhu saw that the third girl was sitting next to her honestly, and the last time she was slapped, the third girl hadn't seen her for more than a month.

This time, I came with a decent smile, as if I had grown up. It's just that compared to the delicate appearance before, there always seems to be something missing.

It's just that now that my body is heavy, I don't have time to think about it.

"I'd better take a trip in the second year of junior high school. You are a big man, save them from embarrassing you. Zhu said intimately.

Outside the door.

"Master, there's an old woman outside the door who asked the little one to bring this to you." The maid went out and brought it in.

As soon as Master Chi saw that thing, his face sank a little. It was as if the teeth on the cheeks were clenched.

"I'll go out and have a look." Master Chi walked out without saying a word.

Zhu pursed his lips slightly, his eyebrows drooped slightly: "Go and see who is outside the door, don't let the master see it." The maid replied in a low voice and followed quickly.

Master Chi held the stone lock in his hand, and his heart was a little hot, as if the scenes of the year were in front of him again.

Standing at the door, the old woman hunched her waist, just as she had been when she had been married.

Master Chi was inexplicably a little shrunken and weak-hearted.

At that time, his family was poor, so he asked to marry the daughter of the Lin family. At that time, he had nothing, so he took a stone and carved a concentric lock to show his heart.

didn't want anything, so he married the Chi family and had children.

He wanted to call a mother, but he couldn't.

The old woman bluntly said that her daughter was picked up by her, and she was called her godmother every day. She doesn't want this child to marry how rich and noble, she just wants her to have a safe and smooth life.

Behold......

"You have the face to come to me!" With a snap, the old woman slapped Master Chi in the face.

"You brute! You can't even tolerate her children now, you really don't like a beast! It's my wife who is blind and sees the wrong person! The old woman's eyes were red, and she held the box and trembled slightly.

"You will have retribution, you will have retribution! Otherwise, heaven will not tolerate it! The old woman turned around and staggered out.

"It was you who knelt before me and begged me to marry her to you. Now that she's dead, you can't even tolerate your own flesh and blood. It's ridiculous. The old woman's voice choked.
