After breakfast the next day, Ruixiang said that he wanted to go to the old house to have a look, but Shen still asked him to take those things and explain them to Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou. Ruixiang agreed to take his two sons with him.

It didn't take long for Xia Yu and her husband to come over, saying that it was too far away, and they didn't come over on the day of the milk, and they were going to come to live for a few days at the end of the month, and they were going to marry Qiu Yu. Ziqing saw that they also brought the little girl named Zi'er, put on a new dress, and the second aunt combed the bag, a very clean little girl, but she was still timid when she saw people, and she didn't dare to speak.

Xia Yu took a basket of eggs, four or five feet of cloth, and grabbed a chicken woman over, Shen knew about it in the house, and said to Xia Yu: "It's hard for you, bring it all the way away." You're not in good health, so it's better to keep it for yourself. ”

He also asked Xia Yu about the housework of living at home every day, and asked He Zhang Luo to stay for dinner. Xia Yu got up to say goodbye, just as Ruixiang and the others also came back, Shen saw Zeng Ruixiang come back empty-handed, and his expression was immediately relieved.

Zeng Ruixiang took Xia Yu and them into the restaurant to eat, and Shen left Zifu to ask about the situation in the old house, Ziqing was also curious, and he didn't leave. It turned out that Zeng Ruixiang first told Zeng Ruiqing what happened, and half of the chicken was taken by Tian, and it was also for Zhou's, and Shen didn't know about it at all. Zeng Ruiqing didn't believe it, he still didn't want anything, Zeng Ruixiang had no choice but to go to the old man and Tian.

Tian clapped his hands and said to Zeng Ruiqing: "Oh, where did you say this, I think Zifu and her mother can't eat the whole chicken alone, isn't it just right to take half of it?" If you want to eat, you can kill it again, anyway, she has a lot of family, isn't it better to eat fresh? I didn't even know there was such a thing, and if you want to blame me, it's a lot of things. I really can't blame the second daughter-in-law for this, she has been in the house, the chicken that your father killed, Ziqing is scalding the chicken feathers, I said that the child can't get it clean, so I took a hand, and when I finished it, I thought of getting back half a chicken, and your daughter-in-law just enough to eat for a day. It's all family. Where are these rules exquisite, to blame. Blame me for this, I shouldn't feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, the ready-made half chicken stew is enough for your daughter-in-law to drink, I lick my old face and come. You're not happy yet. ”

"Mother, you shouldn't have said it earlier, I thought that my brother and sister would take half a chicken to send Hanako, and my family can't even afford to eat a chicken. How can such a thing be done? Since you took it, forget it, and I won't mention it later. Zeng Ruiqing said.

The old man also said that he should not mention this matter again. For half a chicken to hurt my brother's feelings, it's a shame to say it.

Shen listened and said, "Your grandmother rarely understands the truth. Others really can't explain this clearly. "I asked again about the full moon wine, because the little sister is the first child after the Shen family separated, and it is estimated that it is also the last. So I want to make a banquet for the child, invite a family of relatives to be lively, and I want to ask Zhou's side if you plan to invite you, when you will invite you, don't make a big fuss.

Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou are also children after more than ten years. Although he is not a boy, the joy in his heart is self-evident. said that it was going to hold a big banquet, but since the children here were two quarters of an hour older, let this side do it first, and they would be a day late.

Shen asked these questions clearly, sighed, the depression of many days was swept away, and even drank an extra bowl of chicken soup, Zeng Ruixiang looked a lot more relaxed. The two discussed the name of the child again, and finally decided to call it Ziyu, and Shen said that the crops can only grow well if it is sunny and rainy.

Ziqing finally cleared the clouds and saw the light of day in the Shen family, so she was in the mood to pull Zifu and Zilu to ask long and short questions, mainly to ask Zilu if he could keep up with his homework, whether the students in the county town could bully or not, and the food in the school could still be used to eating, etc.

"Qing'er, why didn't the eldest brother see you care so much about the eldest brother when he went back then, the eldest brother was so sad, it turned out that the second brother was the most important thing in Qing'er's mind, thanks to the eldest brother who helped you change diapers so many times and wear clothes so many times when you were young." Zifu deliberately made a straight face to tease Ziqing.

"Big brother, then you started studying, I'm with my sister, okay? My sister is sick, and I steal food and water every day. Zilu argued.

"Big brother, you have been enlightened for several years at that time, needless to say, of course Qing'er knows that big brother is so powerful, he must be better than them. In my heart, you are all equally important. Ziqing hurriedly said.

Only then did he find that Zifu laughed, rubbed Ziqing's hair vigorously, and said, "Brother is teasing you, you stupid girl is still serious." ”

In the first few days of Zeng Ruixiang's home, he never left his wife's side. Although the autumn harvest has begun one after another, there are more than ten acres of potatoes left in his own field, and Zeng Ruixiang plans to hire someone to do it, so he is not in a hurry. Seeing that Shen's mood was stable, he took his two sons to work in the yard for several hours every day, digging potatoes.

On the sixth day of the new year, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu and Zilu out to Anzhou Mansion to deliver eggs, and said that he would take the two children to the bookstore to have a good visit, and Shen remembered that it was not two days before the eighth day of the new year, and Qiuyu's makeup silver had not been sent over, so he told Ziqing to go to the old house to invite Qiuyu to visit.

When Ziqing went, she was just in time for Zhou's mother's mother and three sisters to come to see her, and there were sobs and low comforts in the house, Ziqing didn't pay attention to it, and directly said hello to the old man and Tian, but she didn't have time to speak.

"Ziqing, you came just in time, your sister-in-law will go out the day after tomorrow, why hasn't your mother sent the money for makeup? Didn't you forget or regret it? Go back and talk to your father, I don't know what I'm busy with at home? I know that there are a lot of things going on at home these days, but I can't see anyone. Tian complained as soon as he saw Ziqing.

"Grandma, my mother just asked me to invite my sister-in-law to come over, and my mother can't come out, my father digs potatoes at home every day." Ziqing looked up at Tian and replied.

"Look, you're in a hurry again, aren't you? Before the child could speak, you crackled and came first. You can't remember how many times I've told you. Alas. The old man sighed.

Tian glanced at the old man sideways and said to Ziqing: "Your sister-in-law accompanied your second aunt to go out for a walk, and let her go to your house when she comes back." Go back and tell your mother, there will be more guests at home in two days, and your aunt's family will go to stay with you for a few days. ”

Ziqing thought, she was really afraid of something, and said: "Grandma, my mother has just given birth to a child, she needs to be quiet, there are many things at home and chaos, my grandmother has to cook and clean up the housework and take care of my mother, and she can't take care of so many children, so it's better to let the second aunt's family live there, it's the same." ”

Tian was displeased when he heard this, and was about to speak, when the old man spoke, and said: "What are you letting them run over, the second family can't even get out of the house now, it's all up to the wife of the in-laws to help there, if you can't help, forget it, you have to add something to the mess." Why can't I squeeze in at home? It turns out that the house where Zifu lives is not still empty, the third son (the third child of the Xiao family) lives in that big house alone, where can there be no more than two people, according to me, the second girl should not go over. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa, then I'll go back and tell my mother, don't forget to tell my sister-in-law." Ziqing hurriedly replied.

Tian still wanted to say something, the guests in Zhou's house came out, and Ziqing heard a voice say: "Don't worry, the master in Qingyuan Temple is the most effective, I will help you calculate it, you will be able to crack it, if you can find Master Huiguang, it will be no problem." You should be relieved, and for the sake of the children, you must also cheer up. ”

Ziqing was a little curious, remembering what her grandmother said, shouldn't it be related to her little sister, and then she thought, how could there be such a coincidental thing, but she was suspicious first. Entering the house to say hello to Zhou, Zhou's attitude was light, and Ziqing quickly said goodbye. When I returned home, I didn't say anything to Shen. (To be continued)
