Chapter 230, Zhou's wine
On the morning of the eighth day of the first day of the first month, Ziqing had breakfast, made some good books, changed into a home-style cotton old clothes, and Lin Kangping and Ziyu went to the new house together, Ziqing saw that four words were written directly above the courtyard door, "Qingyuan Fuju", daring to love was from Zeng Ruixiang's "Xiangyuan Fuju", Zeng Ruixiang saw Lin Kangping's Qingyuan after Fuyuan and Luyuan, and said that he was also a showman, how could he not even have a plaque on the door, so he wrote the words "Xiangyuan Fuju" and asked Zishou to engrave and hang it up. Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 230, Zhou's Wine Chapter].
Zeng Ruiqing saw Ziqing looking at the plaque on the door of the courtyard, and said: "These words are still written by your father, this look at our two brothers are close, your grandfather also said okay when he saw it, who doesn't praise the old man for raising two good sons when he goes out." ”
Ziqing looked at the rare smile on Zeng Ruiqing's face, it is estimated that on the one hand, she has moved into a new house as she wishes, and on the other hand, she may have finally sent away the two eyesores of the old man and Tian, and she is a family of three to live, how can you be comfortable, how can you not be happy when double happiness comes? Oh, no, it should be three joys, and one joy is to occupy the property rights of the entire old house, occupying this large piece of land in the town, and the potential for appreciation is still quite large.
There are three wings on the right side of the door, there is a cooker in the stove room, and there are four tables on the left. The main house is an ordinary local house, with a hall in the middle and three rooms on the left and right. There were six tables in the hall, and there were a bunch of male guests, drinking tea, smoking dry tobacco, Ziqing didn't know most of them, and Ziqing rarely went out since she was a child.
The ladies were sitting in the next room, Qiu Yu saw Ziqing hurriedly come out and pull Ziqing and Ziyu in to talk, and Ziqing bit her ear and said, "Just sit here, you don't usually do anything, Ziyu is still dressed so cleanly." A bunch of people came to her mother's house, and they sat idly in the next room. And Ziping, don't make a mess with the two of you. If you want nothing, your sister-in-law got angry and got angry when he helped do the meeting. ”
Ziqing listened and pulled Ziyu to find a corner and sit down. Seeing that there were Tian's family, Chunyu's daughter-in-law and two daughters, as well as four mao and five mao in the house, Xia Yu and Ziping were talking.
Seeing Lin Kangping, Zhou troubled him to go to the village to borrow dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Son-in-law Lin." Or you are tall and strong, you help your aunt to pull it with an ox cart, my nephew will accompany you, he knows the place. ”
The dishes and chopsticks were pulled, because they were dusty for a long time, Zhou found a circle of people to brush the dishes, and no one liked to do it. Ziping sat with a child in her arms. Zhou had no choice but to call Ziqing Ziyu, "Good niece, help your aunt, brush these dishes and chopsticks, the eldest lady really can't find anyone, your eldest sister has a child in her hand and can't leave her." ”
Before Ziqing could speak, Qiu Yu listened and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, let's find someone else." You see that Ziyu is still young, and her clothes are good yarn, not clothes for work. Also, Ziqing is not the Ziqing of a few years ago, a lot of people in the family are waiting, Rao this, Aunt Lin is still afraid that she will suffer from heat stroke, so she won't be allowed to do anything, she will be raised like a daughter, you let the family help you wash the dishes under the sun, not to mention whether Ziqing is willing or not, Aunt Lin will definitely not do it. Let's take a break from this heart. ”
Zhou Shi was annoyed when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, Ziqing hasn't said anything yet, what kind of good person are you here?" I know what you're thinking. I also cooked for her for a few years when I was a child, what did you cook for her? When I saw them, I stuck to them hard, and I don't know? ”
"What do I post [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 230, Zhou's Wine Chapter]. When my father was working at Ziqing's house, your family was still in Anzhou City, and I still used the sticker? Think for yourself, isn't that the truth? Qiu Yu was also anxious, and spoke louder.
Tian Shi saw it and whispered: "If you are not afraid of other people's jokes, you two can quarrel." And don't look at what day it is. Ziping really wants to take the child, Ziqing and your sister go to help your aunt wash the dishes, it's not that she hasn't done it, what kind of lady will this be, Ziqing's clothes are clothes for doing things. Tian's heart was not happy, and he blurted out the words without deep thought.
"Grandma, where to wash? There is no well at home, and it can't be just us to wash the dishes, we can't even hold the bowls, and there are so many idlers at home, so ask a few men to carry water and wash it in the yard. Ziqing said with a smile.
"Everyone else is a guest, how can you call Lin Kangping to fetch water." Tian said, after looking around, he couldn't find anyone who could summon him, Sanmao was also lazy, and he had always been not friendly with Zhou, so he would definitely not be able to call, and Tian forgot that Ziqing was not something she could knead at will.
"Grandma, it seems that I am also a guest, I am also a married daughter, and my family Kangping is also an uncle. Ziyu is still young, and he can't do it. Ziqing said with a slow smile.
"You stinky girl, no big or small, who taught you to speak so fiercely?" Tian was so angry that he didn't know what to say, pointed at Ziqing and scolded, he was angry in his heart, watching his eldest son flip over such a big yard and house, but she was forced to move out of the old house where she had lived for decades, and lost face in front of her neighbors. The son didn't listen to her, and the granddaughter didn't listen to her, so the fire arched out at once, and Ziqing happened to be cannon fodder.
"Grandma, what Qing'er said is right, we are also guests, here is to eat, not to wash dishes, I am reluctant to let Qing'er move a finger at home, just now I have run to the village several times to pull things, and it is time for the wheel to take the turn of others. Why do we have to contribute money and effort, persimmons can't always pick up soft pinch, if that's the case, I immediately took Qing'er and left. Lin Kangping heard the words in front of him at the door, and hurriedly came in to distinguish Ziqing.
"That is, there are many cousins and cousins in my aunt's family, so we can't neither contribute money nor effort, and point to us in everything." Ziyu also said.
"It's not our family doing good things, why should we do it? Isn't there a subordinate in Ziqing's family? There is no need to be stupid. Chunyu said.
Zhou Shi listened and said, "That's what I said, Aunt Lin, don't be angry." Let's sit with Ziqing for a while. I can't call the people from your aunt's and grandmother's house, so I'll ask my mother's brother and them to pick them up to the well to wash. Ziqing really can't move, and I was confused just now. ”
Lin Kangping saw that Zhou said this, and it was not easy to say anything, seeing that there were indeed few people doing things, and he was also a person from this village, the villagers looked at themselves and said that if a big man did not stretch out his hand, he really couldn't say anything, so he asked Ziqing to sit down and go out to help.
Ziqing and Ziyu sat in the corner talking, Qiuyu came over and asked: "Ziqing, I heard that the fish your aunt used today was caught from your pond, and when my family wants to use it, I will also catch a few from your house, I don't want corn, and your sister-in-law is also poor." ”
"Sister-in-law, are you still poor? If others don't know, can I still not know? Do you want me to settle the accounts for you for the past few years? Ziqing replied with a smile.
"Ah, how can I have enough money to pull, your father said that Mumu is not bad at studying, and he will go to the county school in a year and a half, so how much silver can he get? I can't prepare in advance? The time to save is to catch the blind. Qiu Yu said.
"Okay, don't you just make this house, sister-in-law, don't cry with me." A few fish, Ziqing really didn't look at them, a room of people looked at it, and they didn't want others to say that they were too stingy. After all, the conditions of his own family are here, and it is impossible not to care about family affection at all, not to mention, the Zhou family has just fished it, and it can't hurt Qiuyu because of this.
"Ziqing, you didn't do anything to build a house for your aunt's family, do you want to make up for your aunt? Among these people, your aunt has the hardest life. Chunyu listened to Qiuyu's words and hurriedly came up and asked.
"Eldest sister, how old was Ziqing when you built the house? Where is there such a hard time? The second brother's family has helped us a lot over the years, and people should be content. Xia Yu was afraid that Ziqing would be embarrassed, and hurriedly said.
"That's helped you a lot, and I didn't get any benefit. My house was built with two cents out of silver, and for this reason, my two cents are still squatting in prison. Qiu Yu's third brother-in-law has been helping Ziqing with things, and the sister-in-law's family has taken a lot of advantage from the second brother and Ziqing in building a house this time, speaking of which, my family has lost the most. Ziqing, the fish that my family Sanmao wants to marry will also be fished from you, this is a must, is it possible that they can't catch me, I don't want much, one for a table, and then some surplus, for thirty. Chunyu said.
Ziqing didn't reply, but she didn't hear that Sanmao said that she was married, why did she get married all of a sudden? Ziqingyi's family basically hasn't moved around with Chunyu now, and sometimes some news is heard from the old house, but this time, I really didn't hear anything, but I heard that Chunyu was looking for osmanthus everywhere.
"Thirty, two or three catties each, just one or two pieces of silver, eldest sister, you are really ruthless enough, don't ask for more, what are you going to want more?" Qiu Yu saw that Ziqing didn't squeak, so she said.
"What's this, didn't my sister-in-law's family also draw a tael of silver? I didn't ask for much, my family had never taken advantage of Ziqing before, Ziqing, are you right? Chunyu said nonchalantly.
"Why, my sister shouldn't be yours, you all bully people." Ziyu yelled at them angrily.
"Look, the children's families have no education at all, what nonsense? You also interject when adults speak, one like this, two like this, and I don't know what your parents are busy with on weekdays? Tian pointed at Ziyu angrily and shouted.
"Forget it, Ziyu, don't say it again, listen carefully to the jokes, I don't know if you think we did something wrong. There is a sister here, you can rest assured. Ziqing persuaded Ziyu to say, after all, Ziyu is still a child, and she has not yet said that she is married, which will spread and hinder her reputation.
After Ziqing persuaded Ziyu, she raised her head and said to Tian with a smile: "Grandma, we are uneducated, but no matter how busy my father and mother are, at least they have taught us that other people's things are earned by other people's hard work, not by the wind, so we never worry about other people's things, what we want, we earn it ourselves." ”
At this time, a few juniors washed the dishes and chopsticks and carried them over, Ziqing hurriedly pulled Ziyu out to help set the table, without looking back at Tian's embarrassed and annoyed expression and the contempt of Tian's Chunyu. (To be continued)
