(399) New Year's greetings, reaching out for money
(Ninety-nine)
As soon as the New Year's firecrackers sounded, Zhao Wang's family from Zalanbao got up and got busy from the warm kang.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the eldest child can't come back, so the younger child always has to come back to pay New Year's greetings, right? There are also some relatives and friends, in case they come to the door, they have to say hello.
With the things sent by Zhang Facai last time, plus the two taels of silver borrowed from Zhao Yulan, Zhao Wang's heart was not panicked at all.
Except for the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old two used a small part, and the rest of the good things, she packed up, and she was not reluctant to eat at all, all thinking about keeping the children back.
Yulan always has no in-laws, and the Zhao Wang family doesn't stick to those etiquette, and asks the girl to take Ah Ci to pay a New Year's greeting to the second elder of the Sun family and come back for dinner. There is also Aunt Niu, after all, my sister is here alone, and Zhao Wangshi also invited her and asked her to come over with her.
Could it be that if others will be good people, she Zhao Wang will not? That's a shrewd and capable person, only she doesn't want to do it, how can there be anything she can't do?
Therefore, Zhao Wang's family is determined to be a new person, and she must establish herself well in her children, relatives, and reputation in Zaranburg, so that everyone will think that she is a heinous and evil mother-in-law, what is the meaning of that person's life?
Zhao Laoshi rarely saw that his wife had regained his spirit these days, and he was also happy in his heart. The young husband and wife are old companions, even if Zhao Wang's family has many mistakes, after all, they are giving birth to their own children, and they have accompanied him for most of their lives, and this feeling has long been accumulated into the bones.
The two were busy, but they saw that there were already visitors outside the door, "Congratulations, Happy New Year"
No one expected that early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first group of people to come to the door was not relatives and friends, but Hu Huabai's county lord, who beat gongs and drums and brought the officials to the door
The old couple looked at each other and were taken aback, what the hell is going on?
The first thing that could react was to quickly kneel down and kowtow, Yan Huizu hurriedly asked people to hold them, not to let them salute, and said with a smile, "You have a good child, which has added glory to our Zalanbao, these are sent by this official on behalf of the local yamen, one is to congratulate the New Year, and the other is to praise the two elders for their good teaching."
As soon as he gave the order, the officials next to him had already hung the flowers tied up in the big red colored silk to the gate of the Zhao family. In fact, it is nothing more than two pieces of silk, but because it is a reward from the government, it is very decent.
Zhao Wang's music blossomed, and his old face was full of brilliance, and he was trying to thank others, but Yan Huizu only took a sip of tea and left, "There are other people who want to go, and I really don't dare to stay longer."
Waiting for the car outside, dragging gifts to the husbands of Zhalan Academy and those who have meritorious reputations, Zhao Wang's family is not easy to stay, and Zhao Laoshi sent people out of the alley together, and then turned his head to go home, and when he saw the big red colored silk on the lintel, he felt that he had a face
She thought diligently, even the county lord has given her face like this, and she will definitely be able to live a very good life this year
When Zhao Chengdong finally took the car and dragged his wife and children to the door to pay New Year's greetings, he looked up and saw the red colored silk, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Yang Xiaotao pouted, "Your mother is so generous that she is so poor that she doesn't even have clothes to wear, she actually got such a thing to hang on the wall, this is really incomparable."
"It's not" Liu Fang smiled on her face, but her resentful and jealous eyes swept over Yang Xiaotao's lower abdomen covered by her silver-red new clothes, "Just these materials, how good is it to keep for my sister?" When your child is born, how many little clothes will you make? ”
Yang Xiaotao's face turned cold, no matter how you look at this red silk, it is all the clothes used by girls, and she is obviously cursing herself that she will not be able to give birth
"Such a good material, I don't need it yet, but the ready-made buds can be given to you anyway, they are all hung on the wall, and my mother-in-law won't take it to heart, and I will ask for it for a while, I will be able to give it to you."
The anger in Liu Fang's heart rose suddenly, this dead woman will talk about her buds as soon as she has the opportunity, don't think that you are great if you are pregnant, it is not known whether you are a man or a woman, we are on an equal footing, even if you give birth to a child, my pumpkin is the eldest generation can press you
Also, she is pregnant, and when she grows longer, it will definitely not be good to serve Zhao Chengdong, and at that time, Zhao Chengdong will not be allowed to enter her house obediently?
Liu Fang thought about it like this, but restrained herself, and did not move at all on her face, but smiled, "What are we doing at the door of the house?" I'm going to knock on the door, let's hurry up and pay New Year's greetings to my parents-in-law."
Zhao Chengdong frowned a little unhappily when he heard her second daughter's gossip before, but recently, Liu Fang was surprisingly good at talking, and she was about to quarrel every time she looked at it, and she always took a step back first, so that Yang Xiaotao had to stop talking. and outside the house, Liu Fang is helping to operate, which really makes Zhao Chengdong less manipulative. After all, he is older and more sensible.
In fact, Zhao Chengdong's impression of Liu Fang recently is really good. At this time, I saw her knocking on the door with a pumpkin in her arms, a new garnet red dress outlining her delicate body, the crow's hair was neatly combed, and a few newly added gold ornaments on her head were even more beautiful.
Seeing that Zhao Chengdong couldn't help but feel a little upset, speaking of which, he hadn't entered her house for a while, as long as this Liu Fang was picked up, he was also a standard beauty embryo.
"What are you looking at?" Yang Xiaotao looked at him with indignation, bumped into him, and Zhao Chengdong came back to his senses.
glanced at Yang Xiaotao, compared with Liu Fang, it can be regarded as a beauty with its own merits, but Yang Xiaotao has just become pregnant, and the morning sickness reaction is quite big, and her face is so yellow that she can't hide it even if she uses thick fat powder. I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in my heart, but the more I looked at Liu Fang, the more pleasing it became.
It's all my Zhao Chengdong who is proud of his heart, he can follow whoever he likes, this is not something you Yang Xiaotao can manage
Thinking like this, he even put down the hand holding Yang Xiaotao and stepped forward by himself. is not a wife, how can he have so many faces?
Yang Xiaotao was not angry, but the door had already opened, and no matter how angry she was, she couldn't attack at such a time, so she reluctantly smiled and stepped forward.
The Yang Wang clan had already returned to the clan with Zhao Laoshi early in the morning, and they hurried back, for fear that this little boy would not see anyone when he came back. But unexpectedly, the left couldn't wait, the right couldn't wait, and he didn't come back until the food was cooked
Look at the two of them, all of them are dressed in gold and silver, and they are dressed up in fancy clothes. Is this here to compare beauty, or to show off?
Pity her and Zhao Laoshi, I didn't even mix a new dress for the New Year today, and I still wore the new clothes made by Zhang Qingting during the New Year last year, fortunately, she made two sets of one person at the time, Zhao Wang's nature was thrifty, and he only wore one set last year, and he didn't wear much of this set, so he dared to take it out ugly this year.
But before she could hint a few words, Zhao Chengdong fussed and asked about the newly received gifts on the table of the Eight Immortals and the big red silk at the door.
Zhao Wangshi was displeased to hear it, but said with a little bit of sarcasm, "It was sent by the county lord early in the morning."
Zhao Laoshi was a little unhappy when he saw that Xiao'er's family entered the door in time for lunch, and when he saw them enter the door, he didn't greet the New Year or say hello, but talked about these things, and his heart was even more unhappy.
And the wife blindly favoritism, ignoring it, and faintly showing off, Zhao Laoshi honestly and unceremoniously leaked the bottom at the moment, "People are also looking at your brother's face, who can afford to look down on our villager?" ”
Zhao Chengdong didn't care, but discussed with great interest, "When my brother is released as an official in the future, there will be more people who want to give gifts, and our family will be even more prosperous."
Yang Xiaotao and Liu Fang were both there to look at the cloth, and felt that the material was really good, so they stepped forward to make fun, "Since it is the glory of the eldest brother, you can give us these two pieces of cloth, let us take it back, and it will be glorious."
"That's it, mother, then give it to us" Zhao Chengdong saw that there was a bargain to take advantage of, that is, not to take advantage of nothing.
That's not good, Zhao Wang's family doesn't know when Zhao Chengcai will come back, she still wants to keep these two pieces of cloth for herself, but when Xiao'er said this, she was embarrassed to refuse.
was hesitating there, but the more Zhao Laoshi listened, the more annoyed he became, and he picked up all the cloth and put it in, "This is a person who sent thanks, we gave birth to your brother, and you also gave birth to your brother?" ”
He can't change when he speaks honestly, and this time Zhao Chengdong is blushing, and even Yang Liu's second daughter is speechless.
The corners of Zhao Wang's mouth twitched a few times, why is this old man getting old and his temper is gradually becoming lonely? Even if you don't want to give it, don't say it, how bad is it for Chengdong to step down?
But since Zhao Laoshi has accepted everything, of course she can't regret it anymore, and she will give this to her wife. If it was when everyone lived together in the past, it might not be, but now that they are separated after all, even if Zhao Wang's family is not fully aware, she is also unconsciously changing her attitude towards her wife. In the final analysis, Zhao Laoshi is the one who will accompany her in her later years.
Zhao Wangshi laughed dryly twice and found a topic, "Ya'er, why haven't you come to pay New Year's greetings yet?" Do you want to spend money on New Year? ”
"New Year's greetings, come to the New Year, wish my father and mother health, longevity, auspiciousness," Zhao Chengdong and the others waited until they came back to their senses and came to pay New Year's greetings.
Listening to Xiao'er's auspicious words, Zhao Wang's family was still very happy, and gave Ya'er and pumpkin a small one. Zhao Laoshi also barely squeezed out a smile, but he was very disdainful in his heart, didn't you mention the money, and you wouldn't pay New Year's greetings? A bunch of things without a conscience
