One hundred and ninety-seven: New Year
Liu He's body is already very good, she has been cultivating for more than a year, and it is impossible to say that she is not good, Su Wanyao and the maid supported her one by one, and also kowtowed in front of the ancestral tablet of the Su family.
Lunch was very rich, many things that were not eaten in the past, or were reluctant to eat, will be eaten today, and several married girls have brought things to the house, and there are all kinds of food, clothing, and seeing.
Su Jingyao married a businessman's family, and Su Peiyao married a big family like Changjun Wangfu, so the things sent back must be shabby, only Su Yuyao didn't send it at all, and even wrote a letter back to ask Su Yao to send her some money, saying that she couldn't live anymore, and her mother-in-law didn't want to see her being pressed by her mother-in-law and being pressed by her wife Shao Yan'er, not to mention how bitter it was.
Seeing that letter, if Su Yao had put it a year ago, he would have been distressed, not only to send money, but also to say that he would go to Xiao's house to seek justice for his third daughter.
But now that he has figured out the methods and habits of Cao's mother and daughter, how could he be easily fooled?
For lunch, I made a whole steamed crucian carp, the soup made two dishes, a shrimp and winter melon soup and a wild pheasant soup, the braised rolled chicken made of a salty fragrance, the fish-flavored poached eggs put twelve eggs in one go, as if worried about who is not enough to eat, the eight treasure rabbit dices also put the cucumber dices and radish dices, the flower blowing quail skin is slightly paste-fragrant, the bamboo shoot shreds and stir-fried cabbage, mushroom stewed bamboo shoots are rare vegetarian dishes on the table, the plum wine is rolled out with hot water and warm, it tastes sweet and sour and not intoxicating, and the stir-fried beef jerky is moderately soft and hard, Even the old lady didn't feel like she couldn't chew it, and the rock sugar sauce elbow was a little oily, and there weren't too many people who ate this dish.
A large table of dishes, taking the auspicious number of twelve, originally planned to do it in the kitchen, but Qin Manhuai didn't let it.
In fact, no one can eat so much at all, and it would be good to be able to eat one-third of the New Year's meal every time it is removed, and it is a waste to cook more.
Su Yao said a few words on the table, and it was the same as last year, which meant that the family should stop next year, don't make a noise, don't cause trouble, brothers and sisters should be in the same breath, after all, everyone in the family is prosperous and loss-sharing, and no one can run away.
The main thing is that like Su Yuyao's incident last year, it must not happen again.
Also, Su Yingkuan is going to get married in the coming year, if nothing else, Su Huiyao will also get married, Su Qingyao has already decided that someone will be married soon, Su Jinyao will say something about her in-laws even if she doesn't get married, it's a good thing for the children to start a family, and you can't go wrong at that juncture.
This lunch is quite stopping, in fact, the scorer, like he doesn't care about Su Huiyao crying on the side, that is, he feels that he has stopped, if he can't look down on Su Huiyao's performance like Su Moyao, then this meal will not mention how aggrieved he is.
Su Yao was a little angry, but he still thought about celebrating the New Year today and saving some face for the child not to reprimand, but Su Huiyao did not restrain at all, but intensified.
She didn't really cry, just in that sad face, she sighed from time to time, as if she had suffered some unspeakable grievance.
"Daddy, our family is here for a reunion dinner, Hui'er is very willing, but when she thinks of her mother, she is still suffering in bed, Hui'er is in her heart... It's like boiling oil and cooking it all the time..."
Su Moyao sneered after hearing this, after all, she didn't scold her for the sake of today's New Year.
However, Su Yao didn't want to hear this kind of words, "You are really, what are you doing on the New Year's Day?" Who else can be wronged, it is natural to be punished for doing something wrong, don't be there and don't feel Jing'er, if you feel uncomfortable, then after eating, you will go to Yingxiaju to accompany your mother. ”
After saying this, Su Huiyao pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to pretend to be pitiful anymore.
The people in the second room had a reunion dinner in their own home, and the whole family came to the big room to celebrate the New Year, Su Yao and Qin Manhuai gave each child in the second room a New Year's money, naturally, there are also children in the big room, but only for those who have not reached it.
Su Qingyao has grown a lot from the fright a few days ago, she was originally calm and sensible, but now she is calmer and more sensible, but everyone is a little vigilant, obviously frightened by that incident.
However, the one who has changed the most is Su Qinyao.
If Su Yiyao's distant marriage scared her and made her suspicious of her future family affairs, then Hu Zhirou was kicked out of the Su family this time, which can be said to completely scare her.
So much so that Qin Manhuai gave her the New Year's money after thinking about it for a long time before receiving it.
In the past, she was the most ignorant, Su Yunyao and Su Moyao didn't deal with her a few times, she was arrogant and arrogant, she always thought how great she was, in short, none of the sisters had a special friendship with her.
Similarly, she also helped Su Huiyao do a lot of wrong things.
But when I saw her today, she had changed a lot, and she was always like a frightened rabbit, eating tea and eating unsteadily, and using snacks was unstable, even if someone else accidentally touched her, it was enough for her to gasp twice.
Hu Zhirou can't say whether what her mother did was right or wrong. If she is right, she once instigated her two daughters to steal the title deeds for the benefit of her mother's family, right? No, but if she wants to say that she is wrong, she thinks about her two daughters all the time, afraid that they will suffer and that they will be wronged, which also shows that she is doing well as a mother.
There is never a particularly correct judgment of right and wrong in the world.
Su Yunyao smiled and talked to Su Qingyao.
"Fortunately, the Nading family is a knowledgeable person, otherwise you are afraid that you will be wronged."
Su Qingyao said, "There is nothing wronged, they think normally, but they choose to believe me, I am very happy, it is a good portal." ”
"The wedding date is almost set, right?" Su Yunyao asked, "When it's decided, I'll ask my mother to prepare a big dowry for you, I think it will make your waist stiff." ”
Su Qingyao couldn't laugh a little, "Don't be, the two of us are different, it's just that I marry such a small family as the Ding family, you will be the head of the house in the future, your dowry is very small, let your aunt save for you and Sister Mo Yao, my grandfather's family is a businessman, this will not be a loss to me, rest assured." ”
"That's not going to happen." Su Yunyao joked, "I still expect my second aunt to prepare a dowry for me when I get married, if I don't prepare one for you in advance, how can I be embarrassed to ask for my second aunt in the future?" ”
"You little hoof." Su Qingyao pointed at her and covered her mouth and smiled.
The twilight is like a big gray net, quietly scattering down, covering the whole earth, the snow on the ground illuminated by the red lantern is orange-red, the whole family is keeping the New Year together, and the people in the big house and the second room are rarely gathered, except for Cao Qianlian.
Su Yingxiao's grounding for a while is really not in vain, now his stubble has grown a lot, at a glance, he knows that he doesn't take care of it all day, and he has fewer words, and he treats the old lady more politely than before, but he is even more difficult to deal with Su Yingchen.
The two didn't open their mouths to quarrel, but pushed the boat underwater, fighting in secret.
The old lady rewarded Su Yingchen with a snack, Su Yingxiao took it and handed it to Su Yingchen, during which she crushed half of the snack, and Su Yingchen didn't make a sound.
Su Yao said that he asked Su Yingchen to go and see his mother, and Su Yingxiao sneered when she heard it, as if she didn't believe it.
Qin Manhuai asked Su Yingxiao to learn more from his eighth brother, and when he heard it, his expression was very wrong, as if he was not convinced, as if he was going to choke Qin Manhuai's neck in the blink of an eye.
Su Yunyao and Su Moyao looked at each other and didn't say anything, no one knew their brother better than them.
Selfish, arrogant, self-interested, not thinking about others, misbehaving, not motivated, always thinking about relying on the family to support, etc., his shortcomings can be said to be a big handful, to say that the advantages will not be found for a while.
Thinking that Su Yingxiao made a mistake at the beginning, Cao Qianlian came to Su Yao to plead for mercy, it was easy to talk about and pull out a bunch of advantages, what to think about the family, what to maintain the reputation of the family outside, obviously because he was drunk and stepped on someone's foot outside, he was slapped and moved his hand, and when it came to Cao Qianlian's mouth, it became what to maintain the reputation of the family, it was out of good intentions, the person said bad things about the Su family and let Su Yingxiao hear it, and he happened to be drunk, so he did it.
What else is there to think about not spending the family's money, because he went to Xiaochun Mansion and had no money in his pocket, so he borrowed some from those fox friends and dogs, and he didn't plan to pay it back when he came back.
There are so many things, this big brother has no good role in taking the lead, he is not selfish and greedy all day long, and he has no good intentions for those younger brothers and sisters below.
This time it seems that he has learned better, but Su Moyao and Su Yunyao know in their hearts that if he is really relieved of his grounding, he will have to be the same as before in two and a half days, and it will only be more serious and will not be restrained a little.
Fortunately, he still knew that today was the New Year, so he didn't make any loud noise, so that the old lady and Su Yao were quite satisfied with the New Year.
The moon is dim in the night sky, the starlight is sparse, and the faint dappled candlelight hits the ground, making this lively night a little lonely.
On the way back to Qinzhuxuan, Su Yunyao couldn't help but think of the present last year, when the fifth sister was still there, and she could go back to Qinzhuxuan hand in hand.
"Yun'er." Su Yao's voice sounded from behind, and the two girls looked back at him together.
"What's wrong, father?"
Su Yao walked in front of Su Yunyao and handed her a hand stove that was burning hot charcoal, "It's cold these days, you are just sick, don't catch a cold, pay attention to your body, and the matter of Little Grandpa Bai, if there is anything, you must tell your father, our family will help you find a way, don't make up your mind and harm yourself, think about your cousin Yi Yao, if it weren't for that incident, you wouldn't have married so far." ”
Su Yao said good things, Su Yunyao listened obediently, raised her head and said, "Daughter, remember, it's cold outside, you should go back to Yu Hongyuan quickly." ”
