Because the Lin family didn't know what was waiting for them, Ziqing and they ran all the way and spent nine days rushing to the outskirts of Beijing, Shen and Zeng Ruixiang went to the capital to find Zifu and them, and Ziqing's family went straight to the village where the Lin family was located.

A few small maids and maids, Ziqing were all sent into Beijing, and asked them to decorate the house first, leaving only Xiaozi and Lin Xing, and followed them into the village.

The changes in the village are not big, but there are a lot more houses in the Lin family, Ziqing remembers that the last time I came, the open space in the yard was quite large, and now, the houses have been built, I think the brothers of the Lin family have also separated, but I am afraid that there are many younger generations, right?

As soon as Ziqing got off the carriage with a few children, someone came over and saw Lin Kangping, who still knew him, and was busy going to Lin's house to call people, so before Ziqing and the others walked to the fence, many women and children came out of the main room.

Lin Kangping's eldest mother Yu also ran out, it seems that over the years, Lin Kangping has not been less filial to her, Ziqing can remember the last time she first came, she was awkward, and she didn't want to see Lin Kangping at all, or later saw that Lin Kangping was more generous, so she was impressed.

Ziqing was still holding Yanran in her hand, and hurriedly put it down, saying hello to Yu, and at the same time, she glanced at the decorations in the yard, it didn't look like a funeral, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, it was still too late.

Yu Shi looked worried, holding Ziqing with one hand and Lin Kangping with the other, and cried: "It's finally time, let's go into the house quickly, let him meet your children, it's good to see it." These days, I talk about you day and night, and I talk about your father and mother, saying that I am sorry for them and have no face to see them. However, if you hadn't taken this step in the first place, where would you be where you are today? Kangping, you have to persuade him. ”

Ziqing listened and hurriedly said, "Auntie is relieved." Uncle Xu will be fine when he sees Kang Ping and the children? ”

Yu Shi had a hint of a smile when he heard this, and Ziqing hurriedly asked a few children to call someone. After entering the house, Lin Kangping's sister-in-law Hu had already prepared a futon in front of Lin Yaozu's kang, Ziqing and Lin Kangping took the children to kowtow first, and then got up to say hello.

Lin Yaozu knew that Kang Ping was back, so he struggled to get up, leaning on the kang head, and wanted to take a good look at the descendants of the Lin family. Listening to Shurui report his names one by one, Lin Yaozu nodded excitedly and said, "Fortunately, I haven't forgotten my roots, and I know the ranking of our Lin family." ”

Ziqing took advantage of the situation to look at Lin Yaozu, and she didn't know if it was because of his illness or because he was old. In short, Ziqing felt that the old man seemed to be a little thinner, yellow and thin, with no energy at all, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Kangping sat on the edge of the kang and talked with Lin Yaozu, and Shurui also stood obediently beside the edge of the kang, looking at the strange relatives in front of him.

At this time, the voice of a man was heard in the courtyard. shouted: "Mother, is the third brother back?" ”

Ziqing just wanted to go out to say hello, Lin Yaozu's three sons had already come in, and later, the Ma family of the second family and the Jiang family of the third family also entered the door, and Ziqing only knew. It turned out that the Ma family and the Jiang family had moved out and built another house and yard, leaving the eldest family here to accompany the old man.

The eldest Lin Kangjian said to Lin Yaozu: "Dad, the third brother's family has come to see you, look, the third brother is really capable, and he actually gave birth to four sons, Dad, are you happy?" Also, when I look at the children of the third brother, they are smart, and they must not be bad at studying, and in the future, the lintel of our Lin family will point to a few of the third brother's family. ”

Lin Yaozu listened, glanced at Shurui with satisfaction, and said: "Now, I am also relieved, I have something to say when I see your second uncle." Tomorrow, you go to Li Zheng to discuss with the patriarch, the matter of these children on the family tree, our Lin family's descendants, can not be left out in a daze. ”

Lin Kangjian hurriedly agreed, and the Yu family said on the side: "This genealogy, you still have to set up wine, second, why don't you go and help your third brother Zhang Luo, and also, the third brother is too, say hello to the people in the village earlier." ”

Lin Kangxiang and Lin Kangyong also hurriedly agreed, and Yu explained to Lin Kangping and Ziqing: "This will, everyone is busy with work in the field, so you have to tell others in advance." ”

Ziqing hurriedly said: "Thank you for worrying about it, we don't know the rules, so we will trouble the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother to help." ”

Hu Shi listened on the sidelines and said, "Isn't this how it should be? Brother and sister don't see outside, or take the children out to wash up first, all the way, it must be very hard, the children are small, but they have suffered a lot. ”

Yu Shi listened to it and said: "No, I am happy to patronize you, and I haven't arranged a place for you yet." ”

After speaking, Yu Shi looked at Hu Shi, and Hu Shi said: "I have already vacated the house, and I know that the third brother's family is coming, but just two rooms are crowded, and I seem to see that the third brother has brought others, but I am afraid that two rooms will be vacated." ”

Ziqing listened and hurriedly said: "Just find one more, they are a family." ”

After hearing this, Hu personally took Ziqing out, there were three wings in the west, but the other room was also piled up with some sundries, and Ma and Jiang also came over to help clean up and scrub.

After a few simple washes, Ziqing didn't care about resting, so she took Xiaozi into the upper room and scooped out the gifts for everyone, Yu and a few concubines are a family of two foreign cloths, a silver hairpin, and the younger generation's meeting gifts are all silver barley, because Ziqing and Lin Kangping don't know how many nephews and nieces there are, and it's not easy to prepare alone, more is fine, less is good, but it's not good-looking, it seems insincere, so Ziqing thought of this method, the children are also happy, and the adults are also happy.

Ziqing's meeting gift this time was much heavier than when she first came, so Yu's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly ordered his daughters-in-law to cook, Xiaozi listened and looked at Ziqing.

Ziqing then remembered that she was afraid that she would have to live here for a long time, and if Xiao Zi was responsible for this food, she would be too busy to do so, so she thought about it and said to Xiao Zi: "You go and clean up the house, scoop out the things that should be prepared, and wash the clothes that should be washed first." ”

Ziqing followed the three concubines into the stove room, still in charge of lighting the fire, Ma Shi smiled when he saw it: "The third brother and sister gave birth to four sons in one go, but it's really amazing." Do you remember our sister-in-law Hongxia? She gave birth to three daughters in one go, and now she is still pregnant with one, and I don't know if it is a man or a woman, but our mother is sad. ”

As soon as Ma mentioned it, Ziqing immediately remembered the shy little girl, who didn't talk much, but she was diligent, Ziqing had a really good impression of her, and hurriedly asked, "Is she married far?" I really miss her a little, can I pick her up? ”

Hu Shi listened and hurriedly said: "Why can't it be? Our mother knows, maybe how happy can she be? After speaking, he went out of the stove room and shouted: "Mother, the third brother and sister said that they miss their sister-in-law, let someone send someone to pick it up." ”

Sure enough, Yu Shi smiled when he heard this: "Then dare to be kind, send your eldest son to take a trip, take his third uncle's carriage, and bring those grandchildren by the way." ”

Looking at Ziqing's generosity, when those children came, there must be a meeting gift, so that the girl can get benefits and go back to her mother-in-law's house.

Ziqing saw that Ma pursed her lips disdainfully, and muttered, as if she thought that Hu had robbed her of her credit, obviously she mentioned Lin Hongxia. Ziqing looked at Jiang again, he was still that shy, and Chong Ziqing smiled.

Ziqing talked to them about family life, and then they learned that the old family has four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest is a boy, Ziqing has met that year and has been married. The second family has five children, three boys and two girls, and the fourth family also has four, two boys and two girls.

"Third brother and sister, tell me about your family, I see that your family has used people, isn't it? It's still the third child's ability, I thought the third child was good back then, and the carefulness of you is no one can compare. I didn't expect that no one can compare to the ability to earn silver, those sons of your family, I heard that they have all entered school, tsk, this is a lot of silver taels, right? Ma asked.

"Second sister-in-law, I seem to have said that my father is a showman and has a private school at home. Where do these children need any money to study? ”

"Ouch, where do I remember all these years? I remember when you first came, that small appearance, eating our cabbage and meat stuffed dumplings, such fragrant dumplings, we rarely eat a few times a year, my brother and sister looked like they were eating coarse grains, twisting their brows and swallowing down, which made me laugh to death. Ma laughed out loud as he recalled the scene of that year.

Ziqing also smiled when she saw it: "The second sister-in-law is just afraid that she will think, these three brothers and sisters don't eat, so I will eat a few more." ”

Ma Shi looked at Ziqing and asked, "How do you know?" Not to mention, you guessed it for sure. ”

"Oops, we still don't have rice at home, what will the third sister-in-law eat today?" Jiang Shi asked suddenly.

Ziqing said: "It doesn't matter what you want, you can make some noodles or gnocchi soup, as long as it's not coarse grain." Otherwise, I can't swallow it. ”

Ma Shi listened and said: "It's still noodles, I'll get some eggs to marinate, but unfortunately there is no meat, by the way, the third brother and sister like to eat green vegetables, the fourth brother and sister go to the vegetable field to pull some cabbage, if there are fresh and tender leeks, also cut a few handfuls, this old man." ”

Jiang glanced at Ma's and seemed to be a little reluctant to go out, Ziqing didn't know if she was reluctant to give up the things in her vegetable field, or if her vegetable field didn't have these things, and she wanted to go to the old man's vegetable field to find them, so she was embarrassed.

Not long after Jiang went out, Hu came in and asked what he was going to eat at night?

Ma Shi hurriedly said: "No, the third brother and sister can't eat coarse grains, I'll make some noodles and knead the noodles, the third brother and sister are from the south, so they can eat some green vegetables, no, the fourth brother and sister go to the yard to pull some green vegetables." ”

Hu Shi listened and said: "That's okay, it's just that there are not many fine noodles at home, let's give it to the third brother's family and my father, let's eat some corn paste and wotou." ”

Ziqing was just about to speak, when someone from an outsider came in, and it was Lin Hongxia's family who entered the door. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
