Zeng Ruixiang took the children home, locked himself in the study for a long time and didn't come out, Shen saw Zifu's worried eyes, and said, "It's okay, your father just didn't figure it out, give him some time." In the future, such two families will work together, and there will definitely be such a thing, unless it is still our family in the future, and your father is almost the same as being famous. This time, your grandfather and grandmother are only afraid that they will not feel comfortable in their hearts, they have been used to doing everything in our house in the past few years, and they thought that they could have a good scenery by doing longevity, but who knew that the children would not give face? I probably thought your father was just talking, but I didn't expect that I would really be able to pay for it at a critical time. I still listen to what your aunt said today, your grandmother still has a few daughters, and your aunt and second aunt's family have lived since the second day of the first lunar month until today. ”

"I think Grandma should still have some leftover silver taels in her hand, probably it will not be a problem to make up for this year, but next year will be difficult. Provided, of course, that we don't send her over. How can we let her understand that we are really good to her, right? Ziqing said.

In the end, Zifu went in and didn't know what to say, and the two came out at the same time, but Zeng Ruixiang's face was already much better.

Because the Fu family was going back to the capital the next day, in the evening, the family sat together and had a family meeting, and then the Shen family gave Zilu the deed of their two shops and the title deed of one hundred acres of paddy fields plus two thousand taels of silver tickets. Chen wasn't too surprised when Zilu took the thing, it was estimated that he had known it a long time ago.

Ziqing looked at Chen's family coldly for a month, although Shen didn't let her set rules, but she still got up early every day and took the initiative to come over to cook, help Liu or Shen's help, and encountered dishes that she didn't understand. I will also take the initiative to ask questions. Don't shy away from your origins, be sincere to people. was generous and quickly won everyone's favor and recognition.

In the days when Zilu was not at home, she often came to Ziqing to learn to read and write, do needlework, and raised her in Zeng's house for a period of time, but her complexion was much better than before, not only white, but also delicate.

Ziqing was still thinking nonsense, only to see Shen ask Chen: "Yujiao, Zilu is going to Anzhou." What are your plans? Do you live at home? Or accompany him in Anzhou. I will collect the rent of these two shops and give them to you together. You look at the total, if you want to open a shop, or quit the lease or buy it again, you don't want to open a shop. If you want to live in the city and accompany him, you can just buy a spacious yard. Of course, you have to be willing to buy a few acres of land to grow some fruits and vegetables at home."

"Mother, I don't want to farm anymore, my husband is not at home, I am a woman, it is too hard to do this, and I don't want to stay at home. I can count the number of times I've been out of the house when I've grown up, and now that I finally have the opportunity, I'll go to the city to accompany him first, help him take care of three meals a day, and then see what can be done. Chan said.

"What are you doing with me, I can't get out. Where do you need to take care of your three meals a day? How many days of vacation do I have in January? It's better for you to stay at home with your parents. Later, when I came out of the state, I wanted to go to the city, and I would follow you. Zilu said.

"That's fine, I mean if you want to do something else, just look at it first, think about it more, don't worry. Having these rents is enough for you to live. As a last resort, don't sell this shop and paddy fields, and you can buy some more when you have the right opportunity. That's all your father can help you, and it's up to you to live your own life in the future. ”

"I know, this husband told me, thank you, Daddy, this is very good. I've thought about opening a small restaurant, which requires not much capital, even if you lose it, you won't lose much. My eldest brother can come out to help me, he works as an errand boy in a restaurant in the city, and he has been exercising for more than a year. It's inconvenient for me to be a woman, so it's okay for him to come forward. There is no land at home, and they are idle and idle. I'm not in a hurry, I've learned to recognize a few words in more than a year, but I can't read the account book yet, I heard that Sister Ziqing and Sister Ziyu will, I want to follow along. Chan said.

"This is simple, I'll teach you when I go back, the second brother will go back to the state tomorrow to study, and he doesn't have time to teach you. If you want to open a restaurant, I will teach you how to make white chopped chicken, but my chicken will be sold to you, and I am worried about finding a market. Ziqing said with a smile.

"Sister, I haven't married yet, I'm in a hurry to be in charge, 'my chicken', where is your house?" Zixi smiled.

Ziqing quickly ran over to fight with Zixi, Zixi shouted while hiding: "Brother-in-law, your tigress is powerful again, why don't you take it back quickly, who will you harm if you stay here?" ”

"Sister Qing'er and the fourth brother have a really good relationship." Liu said with a smile.

"Qing'er is like this at home, she really looks like a lady when she goes out, and ordinary ladies can't compare to it." Zifu said with a smile.

"Okay, Qing'er, don't make trouble, didn't you say that you would teach your second sister-in-law to do the accounts?" Zilu said.

"I don't know if I can open it? But I can learn first. I'm still quite interested in cooking. Chan said.

Lin Kangping took the opportunity to stop Ziqing and said, "What are you messing around with a child." "Provoked Zixi to scream again.

"My younger brother and sister are much better than me, so I will collect some rent and live in peace, and nothing will happen." Liu said with a smile.

Chen said a few words modestly, and then said a few other words, and then dispersed.

The next day, Zifu's family hired a car to enter Beijing early in the morning, Zilu, Zishou, and Zixi were going to the school, and Shen was going to take Chen's to Anzhou to buy something, and by the way, he took her to Yaxing to see if there was a suitable small restaurant to redeem. Lin Kangping drove to accompany him, and Ziyu had to follow.

Ziqing saw that there was no one at home, so she quickly took out Lin Kangping's wedding clothes, and she couldn't move the needle in the first month, she didn't care about doing it, Lin Kangping took a few rabbit furs for Ziqing a few years ago, Ziqing sewed the collar and cuffs of the winter cotton clothes, Ziqing made a long coat that was a bit similar to modern, a little pinched waist, and four sets of various red ones were sewn.

Shen came back and bought several big red satin and red muslin, and Shen said that he would personally embroider the quilt for Ziqing and prepare Ziqing's dowry. Lin Kangping asked the matchmaker to come to the date within a few days of meeting, and Shen found someone to calculate an auspicious day, the tenth day of the lunar month, and the day of giving the dowry was set on the second day of the lunar month.

So, Ziqing started the wedding dress with peace of mind, and Lin Kangping took care of the affairs of Orange Garden and Qingyuan. At the end of March, Lin Kangping went into the mountains again. It is said to be tea before the rain.

Chen's restaurant opened at the end of March, it was a restaurant bought directly from others, with a backyard, not small, it cost five hundred taels of silver, it was quite close to the state school, Chen followed Ziqing to learn simple bookkeeping, the restaurant is facing the middle class, nearby students and households.

Chen's family members all came to help, and Chen was mainly responsible for the back kitchen. Before opening. Chen's parents and her eldest brother entered the door with two chicken mothers-in-law, thanking the Zeng family for giving them this opportunity, and said that they would not drag down their daughter, and the family also bought a few acres of fertile land, enough for the family to eat and drink. Ziqing has a good impression of the parents. At least know gratitude.

Chen and Shen had a frank conversation, saying that they wanted to ask their mother's family to come over and help. "Originally, my mother planned to stay at home with my two younger brothers, because my two younger brothers still have to study, but I thought, my father and eldest brother can't be busy, so it's better to take my mother too, horizontally and vertically, and we also have a school nearby. Just send them there. My father and mother said, this money, they take it from the gift money given by our family, my father and mother and my brother do things, I give them 30% of the dividends, no more wages. Mother, is it okay to look like this? Chan asked.

"I don't care about that. You and Zilu discuss it, after all, the family is separated, you are husband and wife, everything you discuss and do it yourself, but there is one point, you don't show your face, Lu'er is also a talent after all. Shen said.

"Mother, don't worry, I know how to do it, this Xianggong also told me, I will always remember that I am the daughter-in-law of the Zeng family, the wife of the Xianggong, and I will not embarrass the Zeng family. Actually, I opened this restaurant, partly for my family, partly for myself, Xianggong is still studying, and I will have to spend money on the entrance examination in the future, I don't want to sit and eat empty, just waiting for the annual rent can also allow us to live a prosperous life, but in case Xianggong wins in the future, take a step forward, and there are more places where you need to use silver. I'm idle now, my husband is not by my side, I don't need to wait, my mother doesn't need me to wait, while I don't have children now, I want to try my ability. Don't worry, when the restaurant is on the right track, I'll go home. Speaking of which, I would like to thank my mother for giving me this opportunity to bring my family with me. Chen replied solemnly.

Zishou's county test went very smoothly, and Zeng Zijun and Zeng Zixin passed at the same time, and the third mother-in-law specially brought her two grandsons to the door to kowtow to Zeng Ruixiang, but was stopped by Zeng Ruixiang, saying that it was not too late to kowtow after the hospital test.

Now the Shen family has been very calm about Zishou's rush to take the exam, and he is no longer as nervous as when Zifu took the exam a few years ago, but this time he still went to Anzhou to rent a small courtyard for Zishou, and took Zeng Zijun and Zeng Zixin with them, originally Chen said that he lived in the backyard of her restaurant, Shen thought about it and was still confused, so he rented a small courtyard near Chen's restaurant, so that Zishou and they could go over to eat, so that Shen could often go home to see, taking care of both ends.

At the beginning of April, the daughter of the three big hairs was born and came to deliver the letter, but the Shen family ignored them, and of course there was no gift, and the Tian family only muttered a few words, but did not come to the door to question again. On April 16, Shen Jianshui's youngest son got married, on April 25, Shen Jianshan's tenth grandson was born, and at the end of April, Chen was pregnant.

Lin Kangping sent the Shen family over, Lin Kangping went to Yuecheng in April, and just came back before the Dragon Boat Festival. This time he said that he happened to go to Jingdezhen to buy some porcelain ornaments, and all the projects in Qingyuan were completed.

After Shen came back from Changzhou, he took Chen home, and it happened that Zilu was also on summer vacation, and the small restaurant was on the right track, and it was handed over to her mother's family to take care of, and Chen didn't have to worry about it. As soon as the Shen family got busy, Ziqing's dowry quilt was not done, Zeng Ruixiang felt sorry for his wife, so he had to let Ziqing take over most of the housework.

On this day, Zeng Ruixiang took Zilu to collect rent, Shen accompanied Chen to Anzhou, Zishou and Zixi went fishing, Ziyu went to Houshan to pick up eggs, and Lin Kangping and Ziqing were left at home.

Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and complained: "Since I went home last year, your mother looked at me like a thief, more than half a year has passed, I haven't gotten a chance to hug you well, and I don't even have the opportunity to go to the back mountain to eat." I'm going to have to get it back today. Before he finished speaking, he heard the doorbell ring, and Lin Kangping had to hurriedly hug Ziqing and kiss him fiercely, so he reluctantly opened the door.
