Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rich Son-in-law's Waist Is Straight
Fang Jie thought of the Li family in the front yard, so he stretched out his hand to stop him from busy, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu doesn't need to show this, let's go back to the front yard first, Sister-in-law Liu's family is here." ”
"Ah, someone from the Li family is here? Is it my father-in-law or my mother-in-law? Fang Gongzi, you rest by yourself first, I have to go back quickly. Liu Housheng was so panicked that he limped out of the house after a few turns.
Fang Jie was funny, and he didn't understand why he was so afraid of his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he was a son-in-law. I heard the sound of him running away, and then he took off his big hat and walked slowly around the greenhouse.
There are two sets of inkstone paper and pens on the small table in front of the wooden collapse, the handwriting on the cotton paper on one side is generous and neat, and the other side is small and delicate, which shows that this is the work of Shanzi and Taohua.
He reached out and picked it up and looked at it, the smile on his lips deepening. Could it be because he grew up next to that smart woman, the two children are rare and good qualifications, and they can write the complex and difficult seal characters so neatly at a young age.
Even at his age, he couldn't compare, let alone his stupid brother. At that time, his father often praised him, and even occasionally taught him to write, until he thought that his father was the most talented and virtuous person in the world.
Pity... The world is unpredictable, and now he still remembers his father's goodness, but his father only treats him as a hen that lays golden eggs.
Thinking of the newly received letter from home last night, his face turned cold unconsciously, and his eyes were full of cold light.
The Chen family was happily moving the fur from the climbing plow, and when they saw Pucao and Dongzi entering the door, Chen's second sister-in-law's eyes immediately lit up, and it was a good time to pull Pucao. In the end, I heard that this time I actually earned almost two taels of silver, and everyone in the Chen family showed their eight teeth together, and their eyebrows flew with a smile.
Pu Cao and Dongzi were naturally thanked and thanked by their family, Pu Cao was anxious that there was no cooking at home, so he asked Second Brother Chen to help deliver the bag containing chickens and geese to his home.
Second Brother Chen smiled and was about to go out, but Sister-in-law Chen slapped her head and shouted, "Oh, look at my memory, Peach Blossom and Shanzi are still hiding in the east house of my house." ”
Pu Cao was stunned when she heard this, originally she didn't see the two children after she came back, and thought that they ran to Lizheng's house to play, but who knew that they were next door.
"These two kids can't do anything bad, why can't they hear the movement and run out?" Pu Cao didn't think much about it, and casually made a joke about calling the two children home.
Aunt Chen grabbed her, hesitated for a while, and finally explained the previous matter clearly. The more Pu Cao listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and secretly scolded Zhang Gui in his heart for this thing that he couldn't remember, and he didn't treat Fang Jie well, after all, his stinky problem was not a day or two. But he had to hit two small ones at every turn, which she really couldn't tolerate.
Sister-in-law Chen saw that her face was not good, so she stepped forward and persuaded her, "Your brother is still young, just persuade a few more words in the future." ”
Pu Cao reluctantly accepted her annoyance, and responded, "Thank you sister-in-law for mentioning it, I know it in my heart." ”
The two of them entered the east house while talking, Xu was tired of playing, Shanzi Peach Blossom accompanied by Fu'er Fat Dun'er and the four little dolls were lying in the kang, sleeping with drooling and dripping.
Sister-in-law Chen climbed on the kang to help wake up Shanzi and Peach Blossom, the two children rubbed their eyes, and when they saw their sister-in-law standing on the edge of the kang, they immediately remembered the grievances they had suffered before, stumbled and rushed to hug their sister-in-law's neck and cried.
Fu'er and Fat Dun'er were sleeping soundly, but when they were suddenly woken up, they were also sobbing with ignorant faces, and they were clamoring for their mothers to kiss them.
Sister-in-law Chen hugged one by one, coaxing and coaxing in a low voice.
Pu Cao hurriedly patted her two babies on the back and comforted her softly, "Peach Blossom Shanzi doesn't cry, isn't my sister-in-law back?" Are you hungry, sister-in-law will bring you snacks to eat. ”
Fat Dun'er was greedy, and when she heard this, she was the first to shout without waiting for Shanzi and Peach Blossom to respond, "Auntie, Fat Dun'er also needs to eat snacks." ”
Pu Cao smiled and touched his little head, and responded, "Okay, get dressed and go to my aunt's house to play, and my aunt will bring you the best snacks." ”
Fat Dun'er immediately clapped her little hands and laughed, "Auntie is the best, Fat Dun'er has a little heart to eat." ”
Shanzi is also a food-protecting temper, and when he heard that Fat Dun'er was going to share a snack, he put all his grievances behind him, and shouted loudly, "Sister, let's go home quickly, Shanzi also needs to eat snacks." ”
Pu Cao and Sister-in-law Chen quickly dressed a few children in cotton jackets and cotton shoes, and it was funny to see them open the door and run out.
"It's still a sister who has a way, if all four of them cry, I can't coax it."
"These are all small gluttonous cats, and they are easy to coax if they have food." Pu Cao said a few more gossips to Sister-in-law Chen and then left and went home.
Chen Da and Chen Er are all neat and tidy, and after a while, they have already enclosed the chickens and ducks in the empty room. He even helped to block a few bundles of bud straw at the window door, both to block the wind and prevent the winged hen from jumping out.
Pu Cao stretched his head to look at the big white geese and Luhua chickens, each of them was full of energy, and was walking around in the circle to inspect the new territory, and at a glance it was a good poultry that was not sick or bad, so he thanked the Chen brothers a few words. The Chen brothers were all clumsy, blushing and waving their hands, throwing down a sentence and shouting that they would go back side by side.
Everyone in the Li family sat in the warm and bright main room of the Zhang family, drinking tea and gossiping for so long, naturally it was inevitable to talk about the disaster that Li Second Brother encountered, and everyone was grateful to Fang Jie.
Second sister-in-law Li took her sister-in-law's hand, remembering that she was so afraid that a man would be arrested and imprisoned a few days ago, and she didn't even dare to close her eyes at night, her voice was choked, and she said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law wants to thank you and your brother-in-law for getting acquainted with a noble person like Fang Gongzi, if they don't see your face, how can they help like this." ”
"That is, our son-in-law is really capable now, and your father and I don't have to worry about your bad life every day in the future. In a few months, the child will be born, and the father who has a child will have to be more diligent to support the family. ”
Liu Housheng heard his mother-in-law's praise like this, blushed with excitement, and quickly got up and respectfully responded.
Chunni knew very well in her heart that her second brother could get Fang Ming's help in this matter, and I am afraid that the most important thing to thank was Pu Cao, and the face of their husband and wife was not so big.
But she saw that her man was rarely praised so much in front of her mother, so she quietly swallowed the words back from her mouth.
If you count it carefully, Pucao's kindness to their family is really innumerable, how can a few words of empty thanks make up for one or two. Left and right their husbands and wives also want to follow her for the rest of their lives, and they will be repaid slowly in the future.
Liu Housheng has now been paid twice, and he took the initiative to say when he realized that he had a lot of money, "Nier, let our mother live at home for a few more days, and the Chen family will go to the city to buy goods or Fang Gongzi will have a convenient car to pick up food, and then you will take your mother into the city to go shopping, and buy two good materials for your father and mother to make a new set of pants." ”
Chunni originally planned to be filial to her father, but when she heard her man mention it first, she was naturally not stupid enough to push it back, and immediately responded, "Okay, I still have to buy a silver hairpin for my mother, don't feel distressed." ”
Liu Housheng smiled and waved his hand, "Don't feel distressed, don't feel distressed!" You keep all the money, and you only spend it. Also, remember to buy a jar of good wine for your father to take home. ”
Mrs. Li was also happy to hear that her daughter and son-in-law were so filial, but she was thrifty all her life, and she was willing to let her daughter spend so much money, so she quickly stopped the conversation and said, "Mother knows that you have this filial piety, you just picked a door to live, don't be extravagant..."
Chunni refused to listen to the old lady's nagging, stepped forward and hugged her arm and said, "Mother, I will talk to you in detail in the evening, don't let me add more silver bracelets when you hear it." ”
Mrs. Li slapped her daughter in disgust, and said angrily, "What kind of greedy person is your mother, you have a good life, and your mother is happier than gold." ”
The family gossiped a few more words, and several children ran in like crazy, and when they saw so many people sitting in the house, they were all stunned at the door.
Shanzi and Peach Blossom have a good memory, they recognized Mrs. Li who had come once, and stepped forward to say hello together. Mrs. Li liked these two well-behaved and polite children very much, hugged them and sat in her arms to talk, and when they heard that they had begun to read and learn words, she praised them one after another, "Okay, good, what a smart child, he will definitely have a great future in the future." ”
Pu Cao stepped on these words and came in, so she answered with a smile, "Auntie, don't praise these two leather monkeys, they don't open the house for a day on weekdays, how can they look like they have a chance." ”
Mrs. Li was willing to believe it, and took the two children into her arms and smiled, "Don't talk about us children, if you are not rare, I will take them all home tomorrow." ”
"Oops, that's not going to work!" Pu Cao pretended to be panicked and stepped forward to pretend to pull the two children, "Auntie, I want to raise them to grow up and work, you snatched them all, how can I be lazy?" ”
Everyone laughed, Mrs. Li let the two children go to the ground, and patted Pucao's arm in disgust, "This girl, obviously soft-hearted, has to say that she is like a vicious mother-in-law." ”
Pu Cao turned around and went to the wooden board in the corner of the wall to get a box of snacks, handed it to a few children and coaxed them to sit on the kang to eat, and then smiled, "It's not too early, let's Zhang Luo cook." The geese that Second Brother Chen helped buy back were really good, and they slaughtered a stewed potato for storage. Then cut the meat and fry a cabbage fungus, stew a meat foam tofu, and wash the dust for the eldest mother and two sisters-in-law. ”
When Chunni heard her say this, she remembered the pile of food that Fang Jie had sent in the morning, and hurriedly said, "Fang Gongzi has sent a lot of food this time, but I didn't dare to put it in the East House." If you're going to go back, just move out as you are. ”
Pu Cao smiled and waved his hand, and said proudly, "We didn't betrayally sell the vegetables to Fuguilou, but we helped him a lot, and we should accept some thank you gifts from him." If you don't retreat, you will stay and eat! ”
Chunni was generous just now, but in fact, she was reluctant to give up those good things in her eyes. At this time, when I heard Pucao slap the board, I immediately smiled so much that my eyes narrowed into a slit, and I stretched out my hand and pulled her over to sort and put it together.
