Chapter 233, the embarrassment of dividing dishes

"But, Grandpa, didn't my grandma scold us, saying that my father and mother don't know what to do, and they don't have time to teach us, saying that we are ignorant one by one?" Ziyu suddenly asked [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 233].

As soon as Ziyu's words were finished, Tian slapped his chopsticks angrily and said, "I'm your grandmother, can't I say a few words to you?" You still have to talk back, what am I saying wrong? ”

Before Tian could say a few words, the old man coughed, Tian looked at the old man, and thought of Ziqing who had made Zhou so angry that day, and picked up chopsticks to eat again.

"Your grandma is also over sixty years old, a little old and confused, Ziyu don't worry about her, listen to your mother, your mother's teachings, you can't be wrong. Just look at your older siblings. It was the first time for the old man to speak to Ziyu so kindly, and Ziyu was really a little uncomfortable.

The old man only praised the Shen family, but forgot that there was a Tian family next to him, Tian pulled a big long face, and wanted to scratch a few words, when he thought of his family's days, he was afraid that he would have to rely on these grandchildren in the future, so he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "No, the second daughter-in-law has the ability, this is not only the child is well taught, but also the money, just less than a year after the separation, you can build this big blue brick house, and bring a big yard, I knew that the second daughter-in-law has this ability, and I didn't divide the family back then, Why bother to suffer this sin today? ”

Tian's words entered the ears of the old man, but it meant another thing, the Shen family was selfish, only caring about his own small family, everyone lived together and was stupid, not showing the mountains and water, and began to get rich as soon as the family was divided, this is not right for the old man's mind, no matter how he said it, he refused to bring the Chunyu family, and the old man didn't know what to eat at this meal. However, the old man also knows that no matter how much trouble continues, he will not be able to win back the heart of his younger son, so it is better to throw away his hand, and a few grandchildren can still be filial in a year, and it is not okay to expect others, so. I didn't pick up Tian's words. Instead, he opened his mouth and reprimanded Tian.

Zeng Ruixiang and Shen were a little puzzled, Tian was a little annoyed, he didn't expect the old man to give her face so much, and give her no face in front of a few juniors. I want to sprinkle it, but I'm afraid that I will really get stiff with a few grandchildren, and I won't get any benefits, so I will eat this meal with my own thoughts, and the old man is also afraid that Tian will say something inappropriate and scatter hastily.

Three days later, Ziqing followed her family to the ancestral house of the third mother-in-law. Several sons of the third mother-in-law's family have now built a new house, and a small courtyard has been built next to the ancestral house, and a house has been built before and after ten meters away from the ancestral house, and the banquet is placed in these three rooms, which are jointly organized by the two families. So, there are a lot of people who help with things.

The third mother-in-law wore a new navy blue dress and stood at the door to greet the guests. The only concubines of her generation are close to the Tian family and the fourth mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law of Zhou, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhou on this small street have always walked closer, and they will gather at the door to joke with each other.

"Old sister-in-law, your grandson will also be out of the way, and your sons have also built new houses, look at your smile from ear to ear, comfortable, right? I don't know what shit luck you've had in the past few years? Granny Zhou smiled.

"I'm a widow, it's not easy to have today, and this time, I also have the face to see this dead old man. Throw me this big mess. The third mother-in-law smiled and wiped away her tears, this smile was full of pride and joy, which made Ziqing very moved.

"No, I still remember the two eldest daughters of your family, in order to help you pull these younger brothers, they were two years late in getting married. The two girls became sons alive, but fortunately, these younger brothers also competed and learned to go to the field early, and it has to be said that your third aunt taught it well [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 233]. Aunt Zhou said.

"If you want to say that you are blessed, you have to be a few sisters from Zeng Xiucai's family, none of whom have ever been in the field, and Aunt Tian can be protected tightly." After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she glanced at Tian.

"This can't be compared, my younger brother and sister have raised two good sons, the son is older, naturally he has to pay more, and he should take care of a few sisters. My sons are not worried about me now, but the two daughters are still a little worse, when it was difficult in the past, I relied on the two daughters to help the younger brothers, and now, I often say that these brothers can not forget this. The third mother-in-law said.

"No, this is how an old man should be, a bowl of water should be as flat as possible. Speaking of a few families on this street, it's not that I praise it, Zeng Xiu, who is really Tian Meizi's family, is a good one, obedient and filial, and the sons and daughters he raised also followed him. Who do you say can compare to Sister Tian's luck? Look at these grandchildren, they haven't been empty-handed anywhere, not to mention this New Year's ceremony, Sister Tian, do you say yes or no? Granny Zhou asked.

Tian wanted to say yes when he heard it, but he felt a little unwilling, and said no, everyone's saliva had to drown her, so he had to laugh twice.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou's came over, and everyone said a few words about her family's new house, Aunt Liu was close to her, and she used to always play scratch cards in one place, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is satisfied this time?" ”

Zhou had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "What does it mean?" You don't know that my family's life is difficult, although I built this house, but my hands are empty, and we will have to bear the expenses of my father and mother several taels of silver every year in the future? How can she be like Sanniang, who can still give money to help her two grandsons make a banquet? We are not blessed with it. ”

Ziqing heard this and knew that this banquet was lined by the third mother-in-law's silver, Zhou's words scraped into Tian's ears, Tian's annoyed, both hands kept twisting the handkerchief, and wanted to reply a few words, but she was afraid of falling stocks, and she was not an opponent in a quarrel with Zhou.

Ziqing found that since Zhou's return, Tian's life began to be difficult, first was packed by Zeng Ruixiang and sent to Zhou's, and then, Zhou's withheld her things, Tian endured it for two years, this time, it was even more straightforward, and directly swept the floor out. This is really in response to that sentence, the wicked have their own wicked grinding.

Don't talk about these, the firecrackers went off, Zijun and Zixin officially kowtowed to Zeng Ruixiang three times, and the banquet began, Shen sent a set of azure muslin gowns to Zijun and Zixin, and drove them out overnight, and they just wore them when they went to school, Zilu is a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Ziqing is a powder blue thick cotton cloth, and they are rich and surplus to make winter clothes.

The Zhou family and the Tian family stared at the gifts given by Ziqing, and they really couldn't understand how they could be so generous to outsiders, and they would push back when they asked for something.

Today, the Shen family was arranged in the main position, Ziqing had to find a position by herself, Chen did not come out because she was afraid of a big reaction during pregnancy, Ziyu was already ten years old, and Shen did not let her come out.

Unlike the last time Zhou made Shangliang wine, he could sit with his familiar family, this time, the women next to him were all women from the village. Fortunately, Ziqing knew that she couldn't be too disconnected, so she specially changed her homely farm clothes and sat in the crowd, which was not obtrusive.

Who knew that it was a coincidence that next to Ziqing sat the daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a good thin cotton shirt, with a carved silver step on her head, her eyebrows and eyes were quite delicate, but she was a little arrogant.

The daughters-in-law surrounded her to have fun, and usually Ziqing didn't go out to chat with them, so the women in the village basically didn't know Ziqing.

A new daughter-in-law opposite Ziqing glanced at Ziqing and said with a smile: "Whose daughter-in-law are you, I look at you, but your face is really good-looking, with fine skin and tender meat, not like our Zhuang family." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family looked at Ziqing coldly, she was also dressed in cotton clothes, and there was still a wooden hairpin on her hair bun, so she snorted and said, "What's the use of that, it's not the life of the young lady's body, she has a good bare face, but what's the use?" It is good to have the ability to marry well. ”

Ziqing smiled when she heard this, and said: "It's still this sister-in-law who is right, women don't just want to marry a good man, marry a man, dress and eat, marry a good man, and worry about it in this life." ”

"Speaking of which, I heard that the most blessed thing in our village is the eldest daughter of Zeng Xiucai's family, which is the one who built a sunny garden around a large area, I heard that the man of her family is not an ordinary love for her, but unfortunately, I haven't gone in to see it with my own eyes, when his house was on the beam, it was my family who went to it, saying that the home was like a big garden, but it was beautiful."

"That's incomparable, which of the sons of Zeng Xiucai's family is not Xiucai, the eldest is still a jinshi, I heard that he wants to be a big official, that is the first one in our village. Okay, now that the dish is served, let's divide the dish first. By the way, this girl, where's your bowl? An older woman said.

Ziqing then remembered that the villagers had an unwritten rule, women first divided the meat dishes when they ate, and brought them home for the children and adults to eat, and the new daughter-in-law opposite smiled and said: "I'm afraid I don't know the rules, it's inevitable to come for the first time, why don't I go and borrow one for you, sister-in-law Zhou, you will divide it later." ”

"Thank you, no need, my son is still young, just half a year old, and he can't eat anything, and my man has also come." Ziqing replied, and couldn't help but look at the other party twice, this new daughter-in-law looked like a good match.

"Hmph, people are not rare, what kind of good person are you messing around? Don't you know that some people just love to die and want to save face and suffer sin? I'm divided, the food should be cold in a while, and we should start moving. "Sister-in-law Zhou turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the Lizheng family, Ziqing remembered the young man who had helped her, and now she is afraid that she also has a wife. However, the obvious age next to it is not right.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family divided all the meat dishes, and did not leave a little for Ziqing, and when everyone brought their bowls in front of them, the new daughter-in-law said: "Sister-in-law Zhou, you forgot to leave something to eat for this sister." ”

"Ah, I forgot, every time I put a bowl together, who knew that there was one less bowl today, this girl, you won't blame me, you see, how embarrassing this is, otherwise, you can take a little bit from my bowl to eat, it's so easy to come here." The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family said with a deliberate smile.

"Sister-in-law Zhou is polite, I really don't need it, I'll just eat something." Ziqing glanced at the other party's expression and secretly laughed.

At this time, the new daughter-in-law on the opposite side stood up and insisted on giving Ziqing some of the dishes in the bowl. (To be continued)
