"Hey, this is a good thing, you kid, you don't say a word, we don't have a congratulatory gift, how old is your brother this year?" Shen Shi said first.

"Sixteen, not too little. Thank you for your concern. Yang replied.

"That's it, the third sister-in-law doesn't say a word, maybe it's with my brother or a classmate? What's the name, I'll ask my brother when I go back. Fu asked.

"My younger brother entered the Egret Academy, but he didn't study in the state." Yang replied with some embarrassment.

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect the son of the Yang family to be so promising, he could enter the Egret Academy, this Yang family is still very tight, I'm afraid that the tuition fee is not low, and most of them will be borne by the Yang family and Zishou, right? So, Yang is embarrassed to say it? Of course, this is just Ziqing's speculation.

In fact, it is true that Yang's younger brother was admitted to Bailu Academy, and the first thing he did was to ask Yang and Zishou to borrow it, and he would return it when he had the conditions in the future, but it was a little difficult to say this day. Zishou can't refuse, how many people can be admitted to Egret Academy who are not excellent in character and learning?

In this way, only the Chen family is white, the Chen family's business is doing well, I really want everyone to sit together and eat wine, Ziqing is still looking forward to that scene, I don't know if there will be a fight?

As he was talking, Liu came to invite everyone to play cards, Ziqing wanted Shen to go, Shen was worried about Zeng Ruixiang, and he was not in the mood. Zixi and Zishou accompanied her, and Ziqing sat in Fuyuan.

When Ziqing and the others left the scene at three o'clock, Zeng Ruixiang still didn't go home, Ziqing knew that the old aunt was only afraid that it would be more auspicious.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Ziqing was still in the bed, so the Shen family sent Mrs. Shi to report the news, and the old aunt left.

Ziqing hurriedly got dressed, Lin Kangping accompanied her back to her parents' house, Shen had sent Zixi's carriage to pick up Zilu's family, Zeng Ruixiang didn't come back overnight. said that yesterday sent the old aunt to the Xiao family ancestral hall overnight. The Xiao family no longer has an ancestral house in their village, so the funeral can only be held outside the ancestral hall.

When Liu came out, Shen hurriedly said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you and your second daughter-in-law stay to watch the house." If you are pregnant, you will not be able to go. ”

Liu responded, Ziqing looked at Liu, and said with a smile: "Okay, sister-in-law, didn't tell us yesterday?" How many months? ”

"I'm not sure, it's just been half a month. If my mother hadn't asked, where would I have said this? Liu smiled a little sheepishly.

"Ah, mother, I still won't go if you say this, and I've been five or six days since then." Fu Shi listened to it and said a little anxiously, and when she saw everyone looking at her after speaking, she blushed. Said weakly: "I'm also afraid that it will not be good in case of collision." ”

Shen smiled: "What's this? It's not to say it, you're doing the right thing, and you'd rather be wrong than worry. simply don't even go to the third daughter-in-law. The child still needs to breastfeed, Ziqing has been favored by her, so she has to kowtow. ”

At this time, Qiu Yu came to the door, she was also a niece, and she should go to condole, but in fact, the Xiao family did not send a letter to them, only sent it to Zeng Ruiqing, because Xia Yuna was a little far away. Xia Yu's health is not good, the Xiao family didn't want to disturb her, Chunyu didn't have any contacts, only Qiu Yu used to get along well, so the two sisters didn't send letters. There is no reason to send a letter to Qiuyu alone.

Qiu Yu knew about it from Zeng Ruiqing, and felt that she should go to condole, so she came to Zeng Ruixiang to see if she could take a ride.

Qiu Yu was a little surprised when she saw Zixi, and asked, "Zixi is back, don't you say that I will go to see my sister-in-law?" ”

"I just came back, it's a bit much, I'll talk about it in a few days." Zixi and Qiuyu's relationship has always been relatively light, not only Zixi, but in fact, Zifu's relationship with her is better, and she has grown up with affection, Ziqing still remembers the year she first came, Qiuyu and a few of them remembered Zifu's birthday and sent congratulatory gifts.

Ziqing, Shen and Qiuyu took a carriage, and Lin Kangping and Zilu took a carriage.

With Qiuyu here, Ziqing guessed that this journey would definitely not be boring, and sure enough, not long after Qiuyu got in the car, she began to sigh and asked Shen: "Has the second sister-in-law heard about the matter of the eldest sister's family?" ”

"A few days ago, I went to Anzhou to see my mother, and I heard that Da Mao set a date to get married, and I also heard that twenty acres of paddy fields were given, and now, Chunyu doesn't have to worry." Shen said.

"The news of the second sister-in-law is not accurate, yesterday Chunyu came to cry to her mother again, but I just stopped her, and my mother can't take care of herself now, where can I care about the bad things in her family? If you are not afraid of the second sister-in-law's annoyance, the last bit of pension money of the mother has been calculated by the eldest sister, and now, it is completely empty, and the mother wants to know, maybe she will have to go away as angry as her father. I said a long time ago that I couldn't be trusted, but none of them listened to me, and my sister-in-law didn't know about it. Qiu Yu sighed.

This, Shen really doesn't know, Zixi didn't tell her when she went home, Lin Kangping won't talk about this, Xiao has been busy with the old aunt's affairs for the past two days, where is he in the mood to listen to other people's gossip?

Ziqing is sure of one thing, Tian's pension silver was calculated by Chunyu, in the future, I am afraid that Tian's life will become more and more sad, Zhou's is willing to care about her now, most of it is still for the sake of the pension silver.

"Hey, it's a good thing that it can't be done, Da Mao just came back to find her wife and children, and the family will live a good life." Shen's thoughts are still the same old thoughts, the husband is the sky, willing to turn back, or husband and wife, but I don't want to think about it, why does the ex-wife of Da Mao want such a man who has no sense of responsibility and can abandon his wife and children for the sake of ideas?

"It would be fine if it was like this, but the Wang family refused to live or die, the eldest sister really didn't have a meal now, there are so many children in the family, there are only a few women left, what can I do?" Qiu Yu sighed.

"Isn't there still a shop?" Ziqing asked.

"Where are they doing business? The shop was cashed out, and I asked her to take this money home and buy a few acres of sandy land, take care of it, and try to make a living, right? Otherwise, if you hold this money in your hand, you will be afraid that it will be gone again in a few days. Qiu Yu sighed.

Qiu Yu is also really worried, the Tian family has become half of her burden, the Chunyu family will definitely come to the door endlessly to fight the autumn wind, except for her family and Xia Yu's family, other people's Chunyu can't enter, Tian's foundation is also gone, Zeng Ruixiang will not be able to give Tian two more silver. Therefore, Qiu Yu really had a headache when she thought of this. I am more and more grateful for Zeng Ruixiang's goodness back then, a Chunyu, Qiuyu can't stand it, Zeng Ruixiang raised this family back then. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Qiu Yu thought of this and said: "My mother also regrets a little these days, if she could endure it back then, or be better to the second brother, the second brother would not miss the old love." When people are old and think about this life, they know that if they do something wrong, they have to pay it back, and there is retribution, and my mother said that now is her retribution. The legs and feet are not flexible, it is not as good as the aunt, the aunt can still walk on crutches, the mother is to be hugged, or hold the stool and move on one leg, I saw it, it is really sad, the mother loves clean people so much, and now it has come to this point, woo, woo" Qiuyu said and cried bitterly.

This, Shen is really hard to persuade anything, she has no intention of contributing or contributing, so if she says anything else, it is not easy to say it, it is better not to say it.

Ziqing said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is right, you have done something wrong, and you have to pay it back." ”

The Tian family has just started to pay it back, and they can't stand it, how many years have Zeng Ruixiang been cattle and horses for them? There is also the Shen family, who has also served the Tian family for ten years and helped raise Xia Yu and Qiu Yu.

Seeing that Shen didn't answer, Qiu Yu cried for a while, so she took a handkerchief, cleaned herself up, and said: "Second sister-in-law, I also feel uncomfortable, I really didn't say these words, my own sisters can't say it, let alone outsiders?" ”

"You live your own life, you also want to open some, you really can't help, what can you do?" Shen sighed.

The three of them went to the village where the Xiao family was located in silence, Ziqing saw the long-lost Xiushui, but this kind of occasion is not the time to catch up, the children of the Xiao family are busy thanking the guests who came to mourn, and they don't even have a place to sit and drink tea, but they just borrowed three tables from the village to set them up, which is simple enough. Ziqing's tears flowed unconsciously.

After the condolences were completed, the Xiao family did not have the conditions to stay for food, and the Shen family still took Ziqing and a few back home, leaving Zilu and a few to accompany Zeng Ruixiang.

After the old aunt's funeral was completed, Zeng Ruixiang was like a serious illness again, but fortunately, the school also began to have a holiday, and Zeng Ruixiang just recuperated at home.

Shen began to get busy, as soon as he entered the wax moon, this family spent the New Year together, there are really a lot of things to prepare, Zixi has been promoted, Zifu is almost the same, plus this year Liu's, Chen's, Fu's three are pregnant, so many happy events plus a piece, this Spring Festival, Shen's family plans to have a good lively and lively family, of course, fireworks or firecrackers can not have.

The same is true for Ziqing's side, Ziqing has to take care of the New Year's clothes of Shurui herself, the children's practice clothes have to be redone when they are small, and the accounts for a year have to be closed, so even if Zixi comes over every day to take a look, Ziqing and Lin Kangping can't tell him anything. Because Lin Kangping is busier than Ziqing, Zixi takes Shurui and Yongsong to often bow together, or test the children's homework.

Ah Tu and Ah Shui came back on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, dumped the last shipload of goods, pulled half a cart of foreign cloth home, and said to Ziqing: "Grandma, we have tried these foreign cloths, they are easy to not fade, and they are cheaper than our warp wear, I brought these, you give them to your family to try." ”

Ziqing touched these colorful foreign cloths, thinking if this time and space, there is also the industrial revolution in the West, is it possible that like the previous time and space, foreign goods will pour into this country in large quantities?
