"Why do you have the final say, my father and mother didn't speak, I have a lot of family, why don't you say that my family is in difficulty, hundreds of dollars?" Chunyu argued with his neck raised.

Ziqing saw that the old man and Tian's faces could be wrung out of water, and the smile on Zhou's face couldn't be hidden, Zeng Ruixiang pursed his mouth, probably afraid that he was careless, afraid that he would have to share something if he said it, a total of a few hundred dollars, and he was still here to fight, and he was not afraid of being a father's mother. Ziqing hurriedly walked up to him and pulled his sleeve, Zeng Ruixiang touched Ziqing's head and smiled, although it was more ugly than crying, but Ziqing was relieved.

"Then a family of twenty is almost enough, stop arguing." Xia Yu looked at the old man's face and said.

Qiu Yu listened to it and asked, "That eldest sister, are you going to send your father away for this birthday with only twenty purses?" ”

"Isn't there a copper plate for rewarding? What's the way, I'm the most difficult at home, I have a lot of children, Da Mao is separated, Ermao is in the cell, Gui Ying wants to say kiss... Chunyu looked like a pitiful worm again, I don't know what the old man and Tian were thinking at this time, Ziqing was really a little curious.

"Okay, okay, it's like this every time, and I don't want to think about it, how much does my father and mother post you in a year?" Qiu Yu didn't bother to take care of her, turned her head and asked Zeng Ruiqing: "Big brother, don't just talk about us, how much money are you going to spend at the banquet, a few dishes on a table, I think the second brother has done a good job these times, and this time it's not too bad." ”

Zeng Ruixiang was afraid that Zeng Ruiqing would be embarrassed, and thought that the old man would have this sixtieth birthday in his life. Hurriedly said: "Big brother, do you need me to advance some silver first?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I said that I Zhang Luo, I'll cushion first, and I'll settle accounts with the second brother with how much silver I use, this is my brother's business. I can't let people laugh at me and give my dad a birthday. Whoever spends the money will spend it. Zeng Ruiqing was unhappy when he heard Qiu Yu's words.

At this time, Ziquan, Huihui and Mumu came in crying, and it turned out that Wumao had robbed three small artillery battles outside. Mu Mu was brought up by the Tian family, and he was very distressed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Mu wipe his tears. Zhou and Ziping naturally rushed forward to coax the child, Zeng Ruiqing scolded: "You three waste, you three can't beat him alone." What's the use of crying? ”

"It must be that Wumao saw that he was a few young and couldn't play, so he took it over and helped them light the fire, which is not worth anything." Yan Renda saw that Zeng Ruiqing was angry, and hurriedly explained.

"No, it was given by my brother-in-law. You can hold it in your hand and play with it, flashing and flashing, but it's good-looking, and Brother Wumao grabbed it. "Ziquan is over five years old and can express it well.

"Little kids. When you see something new, how can you not grab it? If you want to blame it, you should blame Kangping for not taking it out. Chunyu said.

"With children like you, it's no wonder that children can teach them well." Qiu Yu glanced at Chunyu, but she was becoming more and more dissatisfied with her.

"Kangping, what good things did you get for the children?" Qiu Yu then asked.

"Sister-in-law. I saw that a few of them were playing with the danger of firecrackers, which would hurt who was not playing, and I just brought some fireworks sticks for children to play with, so I gave them a few, and the one was going to be lit at night, and it was more beautiful. Lin Kangping said. Actually, it was Lin Kangping who bought it to coax Ziqing to play.

Seeing this, Zeng Ruixiang said, "Kangping, take a few small ones out, I still have something to say." ”

Chunyu looked at Zeng Ruixiang, Zeng Ruixiang looked at Zeng Ruiqing, and said: "I don't know if my father and mother have told your sisters, starting this year, my father and mother have followed the eldest brother for five years, and the eldest brother has not fulfilled the heart of being the eldest son in the past few years, so my father and mother have been raised by the eldest brother and sister-in-law for five years, and after five years, our brothers are still rotated like this, and on the second day of the new year every year, this reunion dinner will also come in turn, I discussed it with the eldest brother." ”

Chunyu was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, and Yan Renda, where can you go to fight the autumn wind now? Ziping also looked at Zhou worriedly.

"How much silver can the eldest brother give his father and mother in a year? Second brother, your family has such good conditions, you don't even care about your father and mother, is it the past? Seeing that everyone was silent, Chunyu asked.

"Otherwise, why don't you try it too? After the separation, I have been in charge for ten years, and my father and mother are everyone's father and mother, not me. After all, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and he must also do his filial piety, as for how much silver the eldest brother can give his father and mother in a year, this is not for you to worry about, as long as you don't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, your father and mother must be enough. Zeng Ruixiang said.

Zeng Ruiqing glanced at Zeng Ruixiang, and had some doubts in his heart, no matter how unhappy he was in the past, Zeng Ruixiang would not have spoken so sharply, it seems that Chunyu must have done something too much, the second child has really changed a lot in the past few years, and he dares to disobey his own will.

Chunyu listened, she couldn't say what she wanted to say, her face was swollen and red, Yan Renda hurriedly took the conversation and said: "Second brother's words are a little too much, one thing is one thing, you are filial to your father and mother, and we go home to visit our father-in-law and mother-in-law are two different things, we are also filial piety, everyone does their own filial piety, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't let go of that unused fart, you took your father and mother to your house to do your filial piety, what's the use of talking?" Zeng Ruiqing scolded.

Seeing that Zeng Ruiqing lost his temper, Da Mao and his wife hurriedly made an excuse that they were going to their mother-in-law's house and left.

"Daddy, you are really a little excessive, my grandfather has raised us for so many years, and my second uncle has taught us to read for several years, and you are not willing to spend money on a birthday for your grandfather?" Simao glared at his father and said.

This can make everyone stunned, can rotten bamboo really grow good bamboo shoots?

"Okay, what's the quarrel, just a few of you know about it, the two of them have already discussed it, and it has nothing to do with you." The old man said, very depressed, and Tian wiped it out.

Even if the old man's birthday banquet is set, Zifu should have left on the seventeenth or eighteenth day of the first month, this time, he still has to be more than 20 days late, and Ziqing has to rush back in the autumn when he gets married, and he is a little embarrassed by the delay too much. Zeng Ruixiang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, Ziqing's marriage will be delayed." When you go home for the New Year? ”

"Uncle Yue, if I don't get married in February, I'm almost ready for the horizontal and vertical dowry, and it's too long to wait for winter. I will do it after my grandfather's birthday. Lin Kangping was anxious when he heard that the day of marriage was going to be postponed.

"The wedding dress hasn't started yet, and the futon hasn't been prepared, so it's too late. Besides, you haven't finished that piece of furniture yet, I don't want to marry Qing'er just so-so. Shen said.

"Daddy. Mother, otherwise, Zilu will finish the exam at the end of August. At the beginning of September, Ziqing got married, and we came back when we arrived, and after Ziqing got married, we went back to the capital, and it was enough for half a month. We won't be back for the Spring Festival this year, and we'll go home after the test next year. Zifu said.

"Brother, you better go home for the New Year, or your father and mother will be uncomfortable, and you don't have the heart to work hard outside for the New Year. Let's get married and change the moon. As soon as Ziqing heard that Zifu would not go home for the New Year, she would marry herself, and there would be several fewer people in the family. Daddy must be uncomfortable.

"Ziqing is right, let's just Layue, Kangping waits, it's been several years, and it's not bad for these two months." Zeng Ruixiang said.

"I said don't wait? You must not eat me even one bite. Lin Kangping complained with a bitter face.

Because the old man's birthday banquet is in February. Xia Yu took the child and stayed, Zhou Tianqing went back first, and Chunyu's family naturally followed. Earlier, the old house where the Xiao family lived was half sold and half given to the old man, and now there are more empty rooms in the family, and it is much more convenient for several aunts to go back to their parents' house.

Xia Yu often brings her children over to sit and sometimes stays to eat. Chunyu's family didn't come over again, and it seems that they also knew Zeng Ruixiang's attitude this time. The old man usually comes in the afternoon and stays alone to have a meal and play mahjong. Zifu and Zilu, Zishou, and Zixi generally discuss knowledge together during the day, Lin Kangping sometimes goes to sit, sometimes accompanies Ziqing to go to the back mountain to pick up eggs, and everyone entertains together at night.

The days passed really fast, in a blink of an eye it was February 12, the birthday banquet was held in the old house, the two houses before and after, were full of tables, Zifu they went over early to help, the old man wore a new dress today, the dark purple swastika silk made by Qiu Yu is new, the pants are black, and the shoes are also fabrics of the same color as the clothes, with a thousand layers of bottom, it is estimated that Qiu Yu helped to do it, with Xia Yu's physique, it should not be able to accommodate such a thick sole.

Ziping came with her husband and children, Zeng Ruiqing's face was elongated all of a sudden, and he wanted to drive him out with a latch, Zeng Ruixiang hurriedly hugged him.

"Let him get out, what is he, dare to come here, you guys get me out, don't wait for me to do it myself." Zeng Ruiqing scolded.

Tian stepped forward and persuaded, "It's right to come, otherwise Ziping will kneel with the child in a while, like what's going on, how can outsiders gossip?" After today, I don't care if you like to take care of it or not. It's time for the guests to come right away. ”

"No, I'll just say this today, with him without me, with me without him, don't think I don't know what your idea is, you want me to spare him in a daze, there is no door, look at me as the paper tiger, kneaded by you, let's try the truth today."

Ziping took the child and Hu Baisong to kneel down immediately, Ziping stepped forward and hugged Zeng Ruiqing's thigh and pleaded, Zeng Ruiqing held his breath, pulled Ziping to the ground with one hand, kicked Hu Baisong four or five feet away with one foot, and scolded: "Don't get out of here, think I don't dare to take you?" You're making the wrong calculation. ”

Zeng Ruiqing got rid of Zeng Ruixiang and picked up the latch again, Tian and Zhou didn't dare to come over to persuade him, the old man had to say to Hu Baisong: "Today is indeed not the time to talk about this, you go back first, Ziping takes the child to stay, as long as you treat Ziping well, one day you will be able to enter the door." ”

Hu Baisong had no choice but to get up and limp out of the door, and Zeng Ruiqing didn't look at him. Fortunately, at this time, the guests in the village had not yet arrived, and only Ziqing's family and a few close relatives came.

When Ziqing saw Zeng Ruiqing's posture, she knew that her father was still far behind, if she had this spicy energy, Chunyu's family would not be able to enter the door no matter what, but the old man didn't know how to feel.

A good birthday banquet began like this, and everyone couldn't be happy when they looked at Zeng Ruiqing's big black face. The procedure of kneeling is similar to that of He's birthday, the end of kneeling is a wine banquet, the meal is very general, the old man and Tian are a little unhappy, however, this matter is Zeng Ruiqing's master, Zeng Ruixiang is helpless, who calls someone the eldest son?
