Soon, two days passed. The night before leaving to visit Li's family, Fang Jie finally came back in a carriage, and by the way, he bought half a fan of pork and many various dim sum items for Pucao.

Pu Cao and Chunni pondered that although they wanted to make face for their mother's parents, they were not too public. So the four-color ceremony was set for half a pork, four horses of silk, four boxes of snacks, and four boxes of tea, and the two of them consciously saved a lot, but the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met the door early the next morning, and their eyes were still stunned. Aunt Chen even patted her thigh and pretended to be remorseful and said, "Oh, isn't this to provoke my jealousy and rob the daughter of Old Sister Li." ”

Everyone laughed and helped carry things to the carriage outside the door. Fang Jie held the peach blossom and Shanzi who were pouting in one hand and stood in front of the courtyard gate to see them off, Pu Cao was funny, hugged the two children and kissed them, and only after promising nowhere to benefit did they coax them to smile again.

The carriage soon left the village with the wave of everyone's hands, and ran on the mountain road in the summer breeze with the smell of grass...

The Li family, young and old, are very excited and happy to recognize Pu Cao, the goddaughter who is a great favor to their family. It's been a busy few days, and last night I barely closed my eyes. Before the sun could jump out of the eastern mountain, the family climbed up one after another.

Li Da and Li Er swept the yard, and Old Man Li was thinking about which clansmen to invite to watch the ceremony and eat wine for a while. Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law Li put on new clothes for the two children, and after making the preparations, they were busy with their mother-in-law in the stove to prepare the ingredients.

Finally, when the sky was bright and every family had breakfast, Old Man Li went out to invite his relatives. The Li family's neighbors also heard the rumors a few days ago, and they gathered to help, and took a look at the excitement by the way.

Li's sister-in-law and sister-in-law found out the porcelain plate used for the New Year to hold peanuts and melon seeds and other things out to entertain guests.

When Pucao's carriage arrived outside the gate of the courtyard, there were no less than dozens of people sitting inside and outside the Li family's house, Chunni was afraid that Pucao would retreat, so she comforted her repeatedly, "Pucao, don't be afraid, these people in our village have broken their mouths, but they don't dare to spread wild in my house..."

"Alright, you can put your heart in your stomach. When have I ever been afraid of other people's gossip, let's go, let's get out of the car and give my father and mother a strong face. Pu Cao patted the pork stumbling block that showed out of the wicker basket, smiling proudly and confidently.

Aunt Chen also smiled, "That is, it opens the eyes of those shallow things." ”

Dongzi was already trotting over and opened the car door at this time, and Chunni was in a hurry, so she jumped down first. Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li, who were shocked to hear the voice, hurriedly stepped forward to help her, complaining, "Sister-in-law is really uneasy, my mother is going to count you down when she sees it." ”

Chun Nier stuck out her tongue and pulled the top tank of Pucao with a smile, "Sisters-in-law, don't count me down first, and quickly pick up our new daughter to enter the door." ”

Pucao jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Sisters-in-law, am I late?" ”

"It's not late, it's not too late, my father and mother are waiting in the house." A few people laughed and helped Aunt Chen out, and the second sister-in-law Li glanced at the basket Lou box in the car, and was stunned for a moment, and then secretly pulled Chunni and asked, "This is all a salute?" ”

"Of course, sister-in-law told someone to move in."

Second sister-in-law Chen immediately smiled happily, turned her head and glanced at the villagers who were standing not far away whispering and watching the excitement, and then greeted three or four young daughters-in-law loudly, "Dog baby, Gui Zhi'er, come and help me move the salute." My new sister-in-law is too filial, but this thing is not missing. ”

Those little daughters-in-law had long been curious, and immediately ran over when they heard this. When the brightly colored, soft and smooth satin, intricately carved snack boxes and baskets of tea leaves were removed, everyone in Lijia Village was red-eyed. The last half of the pork was so heavy that the little daughters-in-law felt sore when they walked two steps, and finally called for help from two more juniors, and then sent all the prayers to the house.

Old man and old lady Li have changed into their best clothes at this time, and they are sitting on the main seat cleanly. Several relatives of the Li family accompanied them to drink tea and laugh from time to time.

Aunt Chen led Pucao into the door, and said with a smile, "Old girl, I sent your new daughter." ”

Pu Cao took two steps forward, knelt down on both knees, respectfully kowtowed to the old lady Li three times, and said, "Daughter Pu Cao kowtowed to my godfather and godmother, I wish my godfather and godmother a long life and eternal health." ”

"Okay, okay." The old man and the old lady Li got up and helped Pucao up, laughing so much that they almost burst into tears, "In the future, you will be a good daughter of our Li family, but you have to tell your godfather and godmother about everything, and you can't wronged yourself." ”

Pu Cao nodded heavily, and then gave a salute to Li Da and Li and his wife, and the two children of the Li family also saluted Pu Cao, and the joyful "Auntie, Auntie" in their mouths kept shouting, which made Chunni jealous, and shouted that she would no longer pay attention to these two little conscienceless ones.

After the family made out for a while, Old Man Li personally introduced Pucao to several relatives, and naturally they exchanged greetings. Then, Pu Cao personally held the hat for Old Man Li to put on, and squatted down to put on new shoes for Mrs. Li. Sister-in-law Li hurriedly took out a new set of brocade dresses, which were sewn by Mrs. Li herself, and the fine feet and exquisite embroidery attracted everyone's praise.

Pu Cao happily went into the back room to change into new clothes, and then came out to salute the old man and Mrs. Li, even if it was done, everyone shouted congratulations.

Mrs. Li took Pucao's hand and smiled from ear to ear, and the villagers who were close to the Li family smiled and said, "On such a happy day today, the new girl has given a generous gift, and the uncle and aunt can't be stingy, and they must invite everyone to eat meat, which is lively and lively." ”

Mrs. Li hadn't looked closely at the four-color gift sent by Pu Cao before, and when she heard this, she said, "Okay, I'll let your eldest brother go to the city to buy meat, and keep everyone full." ”

Sister-in-law Li laughed and said, "Mother, Pucao sent half a fan of pork, even if the banquet is open to invite the whole village to eat meat, it is enough." ”

As she said this, she moved those salutes with Li's second sister-in-law, which naturally aroused everyone's amazement and envy. Mrs. Li frowned and blamed Pu Cao for being too extravagant, but Pu Cao smiled and raised her hand to pull off the ebony hairpin on the old lady's head, re-tied her hair in a bun, and finally took out the Wufu Shou golden hairpin from her arms and inserted it, then smiled, "Mother, those salutes are ordinary objects, and this golden hairpin is the daughter's filial piety to you." ”

The old lady didn't know what Pu Cao meant by moving her hair bun, but when she heard the word golden hairpin, she immediately stretched out her hand and was about to pull it off, "Oh, you girl, how can such a valuable thing be inserted on my old lady's head, my mother can't accept it!" ”

Pu Cao hurriedly stopped her, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, this is your future aunt's filial piety to you." ”

Uncle filial piety? The old lady's eyes lit up instantly, and after hesitation, her subordinates' movements slowed down. Pu Cao took advantage of the situation and hugged her arm and said with a smile, "Mother, in the future, my daughter's shop will make money, and I will add gold bracelets and gold earrings to you, and you must keep this golden hairpin today." ”

Aunt Li, who was sitting on the side, and a few women who often walked around with Mrs. Li on weekdays, saw that the golden hairpin was shining brightly, and they were so envious that they couldn't grab it and put it on their heads. Loud and disgusted, "Sister-in-law, you just accept it, others can't find this filial girl." ”

"That's right, if you push it off any longer, we're going to reach out and grab it."

Mrs. Li laughed heartily, stretched out her hand to help the golden hairpin, and said proudly, "Nacheng, my old woman also showed off once today." ”

Everyone laughed, Sister-in-law Li and sister-in-law took a few little daughters-in-law who came to help to Zhang Luo to eat, Pu Cao rolled up her sleeves to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Li, and affectionately invited her to sit beside her and gossip.

Everyone in Lijia Village had heard of Pu Cao's life experience before, and today they saw Pu Cao's generous shot, so they couldn't help but ask outside the words. Pu Cao had a smile on his face, and he replied lightly to avoid the serious, and everyone saw that they couldn't ask anything, so they changed their minds.

Soon, the banquet was served. On the main table in the hall naturally sat a few clan relatives and Old Man Li, Mrs. Li, plus Pu Cao, the new girl.

Mrs. Li personally served the meal and handed it to Pu Cao, and the old man Li handed over the chopsticks, and Pu Cao respectfully accepted it, and since then she has become the youngest daughter of the Li family.

Everyone congratulated one after another, and finally raised the chopsticks and wine bowl to eat and drink. Mrs. Li was afraid that Pucao would feel awkward sitting among a bunch of old men, and she was worried about showing off her new daughter to everyone, so she didn't eat for a while, so she made an excuse and led Pucao out of the courtyard into the yard.

Because a few big trees were planted in the east and west corners of the Li family's courtyard, the shade cast by the sun was very spacious, so the other two tables were placed here.

Mrs. Li and Pu Cao, the freshly baked mother and daughter, smiled and went to the place on the left first, but before they got closer, they heard two middle-aged women gossiping while eating. One of them pouted, his face was full of disdain, and whispered, "This little widow named Pucao, I heard that people have a bad temper, and their second uncle of the Zhang family was beaten away by her." ”

"Really? That's too unfilial, even if such a person admits his relatives, it's superficial, and he doesn't have any idea in his heart. The other woman echoed with a strange smile.

The people at the same table probably felt that it was a little inappropriate for them to talk like this, so they frowned and advised, "Today is a good day for the uncle and aunt's family, so you should say a few words." Hurry up and eat more vegetables, and rush home after eating. ”

The two women laughed a little embarrassedly, but they really stopped, and the chopsticks in their hands flew up and down, and they picked up the pieces of meat and put them in the bowl.

Pu Cao was secretly annoyed when she heard this, but she didn't want Mrs. Li to be angry, she was just about to turn around and pull Mrs. Li to the other side of the table. I didn't want Mrs. Li to run to the wall in three or two steps and picked up the big broom to sweep the yard, and without hesitation, she slapped the heads of the two women directly, "I let you eat our Li family's food, and scolded our Li family's daughter, really my old wife is deaf, isn't it?" ”
