Ziqing stood aside, looking at Zifu, overjoyed, and also emotional. It's only been a few years, and the little boy who was humble on the outside, stubborn on the inside, and determined to get ahead and change the fate of the family has finally grown into a big tree, a big tree that people can rely on.

"What do you think? Qing'er, why is the eldest brother unhappy when he comes back? Or do you want a big brother if someone hurts when you get married? Big brother will be so sad. Zifu rubbed Ziqing's hair, and Ziqing felt that the old days were back.

"Mother, look, my eldest brother knows what to bully me? I didn't dislike him for having a sister-in-law and forgetting my sister and me, but he still beat me up? Ziqing touched her hair and glared at Zifu.

Zifu came up and was about to pinch Ziqing's face, Ziqing flashed, and Shen hurriedly said: "Fu'er, don't mess with your sister, she is not alone now." ”

Zifu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stepped forward to hug Ziqing, and said: "It's only been a few years, and the little girl who follows me all day long as I have a holiday is also going to be a mother, my family's Qing'er has really grown up, eldest brother, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for the family." The eldest brother knew in his heart that if it weren't for you, our family would not be where we are today. Big brother's journey won't be so smooth. ”

Everyone was sour in their hearts when they said this, Liu and Chen didn't know the situation of the family before, so they didn't feel very deeply, but they all knew that their husband really loved this sister.

"Big brother, I'm nothing, it's just a coincidence, it's mainly the eldest brother, it's really not easy, didn't you ask me what I thought just now? I was thinking, the eldest brother has really grown into a big tree. A big tree that the family can rely on. ”

Ziqing's words were even more sour, Ziqing leaned his head on Zifu's shoulder, and Shen wiped his tears and said: "It's a good day, the two brothers have to say this here, they don't want to make people happy." ”

Zeng Ruixiang said: "Okay, let's talk about these words later, let's go to the old house first." Grandpa Ling, they are still looking forward to it. That's when we interrupted.

The whole family went out, and Ziqing followed, and Xiaoqing was not about Qingqing. Arrived at the old house. The old man and Tian had some emotion and longing when they saw Zifu, and Zhou took Ziquan to the side, and his face was full of envy.

Zhou said sourly: "I used to say that my younger brothers and sisters have a good life. No, the children are all promising, and Ziqing is married so well. It's really a different life. Ziquan, this is the eldest brother, in the future, I will be closer to the eldest brother, the eldest brother will be a big official, and in the future, I will rely on the eldest brother to help you more. ”

"Look at what my sister-in-law said? Who didn't fight that hard life? Ziquan is still young, just teach it slowly. Shen said lightly.

"Can that be the same? Before the separation, the younger siblings were born one after another. We are tired and tired of pulling other people's children all year round, and it is easy to stay up until we are separated, thinking that we can live a few years in peace, who knows why God didn't open his eyes, first Ziping. And then Zihe, one after another, weighed us down, where are the younger brothers and sisters so smooth, the silver has also been earned, and the children have become talents. I am the one who suffers and suffers. It's incomparable, people are better than people, and they will really be angry. Zhou said with a sigh.

Shen smiled when he heard this, and turned to look at Zeng Ruixiang's side, the old man and Zeng Ruixiang were discussing the matter of arranging wine for the ancestors on April 12, Ziqing heard Zeng Ruixiang say that maybe the local squire and the county Yazhou Yazhou will come, and the relatives and friends at home should also be notified in advance.

Just as he was saying this, Tian asked Ziqing: "Ziqing, is Son-in-law Lin at home?" Why didn't you see him with you? Let him pick up the second aunt. It has rained for several months, and the second aunt's body should be useless again, and this year's crops cannot be counted on. It just so happened that I took the opportunity of Zifu to hold a wine and came to live for a few days. However, I have a hard time raising one more person now, and I have to pay for everything, and I don't have any money to spare. ”

"Grandma, Kangping has gone out, just let Lin An go, he knows the way, and he has sent his second aunt several times." Ziqing said, for Xia Yu, Ziqing still has a little pity, and Zeng Ruixiang's personality is almost the same, I heard that the old man did longevity, she lived a few more days, but made up for Tian's some, and later, probably knew that the life at home was difficult, and she didn't come to live permanently, but she also let people bring some production from the field back to her parents' house, and occasionally brought one or two ducks to Shen's side.

"Then pick up Ping when you turn around from Anzhou. Save her a few children, too. Zhou listened and said.

"Auntie, now I don't go to Anzhou, there is a small road directly to the past, it is very convenient for the eldest sister to come, and it will not cost a total of three cents to take a donkey cart. When I went back, I still had some small headdresses that I brought with her from the capital, and I haven't seen her since I came back. I heard that she was also pregnant for several months. Ziqing said.

"No, life is getting more and more difficult, but that rotten brother-in-law is still a little scared now, knowing that he went out to find something to do, but at the end of the day, he can't earn a few pennies, and the days on our side are also difficult, and we have to support my grandfather and grandmother, otherwise, I can squeeze out one or two taels of silver to help her. Hey, to put it mildly, I still earn too little, and I can't take care of that side if I take care of this side. It's like a maid, and when you go out, you still take a maid to wait. Zhou sighed.

Shen and Ziqing did not answer, the first year was better, this year is the second year, Zhou's complaints are more and more, in fact, Tian's estimate is indispensable, Ziqing heard Shen said, it seems that last year, Tian's hands still have a little surplus of previous years, Chunyu's family lived for a while when the old man was on his birthday, this year may not be good, Zeng Ruiqing took care of a day's meal in the second year of junior high school, and Xia Yu's house went to the third year of junior high school, and the Chunyu family was driven away on the fifth day of junior high school, and I didn't hear that I had sent something over there.

Everyone gossiped again, and Zeng Ruixiang led everyone to leave. After returning home, Shen said to Liu and Chen: "It's not a few days before the twelve, let's discuss a recipe together, list the list that needs to be purchased, and I will consider it carefully." ”

Liu and Chen hurriedly agreed and entered the study.

Fortunately, it was cloudy the next day, Shen took Chen and Lin An to Anzhou to buy, Zifu and Liu received guests at home, Liu was four or five months pregnant, and changed into loose clothes, which could not be seen at all if he was not careful. Ziqing instructed the four girls to clean up the house, and in the afternoon, the sun actually came out, and Ziqing hurriedly asked the girls to take out the futon and turn it over.

Ziqing smiled and said, "Big brother, as soon as you come back, you bring back the sun, and you are the sun." ”

Zifu knocked her head when he heard this, and said, "Qing'er, you can't go out and talk nonsense, if you commit taboos, you must remember it." Ziqing touched her head and muttered.

On the tenth day of the first month, Xia Yu's family came, on the eleventh day, Shen Jianren's family came, Ziqing had to move back to Qingyuan, and took Ziyu to live with him, on the twelfth day, the weather was gratifying, the garden was full of tables, relatives and friends basically came, Ziqing changed into a red silk jacket and long skirt, a jade brocade coat and shoulders, simply rolled a round bun, the bangs in front of the forehead were cut to the eyebrows, and only accompanied the female relatives in the room.

Shen Wenyu, the cousin of the Shen family, didn't come over when Ziqing got married, and when she saw Ziqing, she looked at it carefully, and said: "I haven't seen each other for a few years, my cousin is getting more and more beautiful. ”

"Although it's not, it's not much worse, I didn't see my cousin when I got married, ouch, the clothes and jewelry dazzled my eyes, the clothes and gold threads, I haven't seen them, and my aunt specially bought the phoenix crown from the capital for my cousin, tsk, this is not in vain for a woman to marry. Also, my cousin's home, that beautiful, I can't pull it out after seeing it. Ouch, anyway, I opened my eyes and gained knowledge. Ziqing's eldest cousin-in-law, Wang, said.

"I also listened to my mother's talk every day, how big the garden of the Ling family is, how good the house of the Ling family is, this time it is so easy to come, why do you have to visit the Ling family. What, don't mind, right? Shen Wenyu asked.

"Of course, my cousin is going, how dare I disobey. However, it is definitely not as exaggerated as the eldest cousin said. It's just a rotten reed field, and you can't buy it separately, so you have to buy it one piece, and you can transform it, but it really took some effort. Ziqing said with a smile.

So, Ziqing brought a group of children and dependents of the Shen family, a grandmother, three aunts, ten cousins, four cousins, and little nephews and nieces, and came to Qingyuan in a mighty way.

As soon as I entered the garden gate, I saw a large area of peach-colored roses blooming all over the courtyard wall, Xiaoqing helped Ziqing inch by inch, Ziqing took them to see the peach forest, there were really some hairy peaches on the tree, from the peach forest to the bamboo forest, there were a lot of spring shoots in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo garden was not cleaned up much, only simple furniture. I stepped on the pontoon bridge and went to the central island, where lotus leaves grew a lot, and ducks and white geese frolicked in the water.

Back in the main house, the flower beds in the courtyard were not tidied up, Lin Kangping just took Lin An and them to dig up some rhododendrons, as well as daisies found from nowhere, which were also blooming brilliantly at this time. Ziqing took them to sit in the hall of the outer courtyard for a while, and they looked at the study and bedroom, the one-color carved mahogany furniture, and also discussed the furnishings of each room.

Shen Wenyu said that he wanted to see where Ziqing lived, Ziqing couldn't wipe his face and refused, so he had to take them into the inner courtyard of the second gate, which was also full of daisies and roses, as well as orchids and rhododendrons, the koi fish in the pool were swimming leisurely, there were leftover pastries from Ziqing on the stone table, and thin cotton mattresses were laid on the rocking chairs under the osmanthus trees, and the children were curious to go up and sit down.

Everyone was amazed and said, "That's just the place where the big families live." ”

The inner courtyard is all wooden floors, Ziqing took the lead in taking off her shoes and replacing them with slippers, a large piece of gorgeous Persian carpet was laid in the hall, and there was another piece in the bedroom where Ziqing lived, a red flower-sprinkling tent, and various jade and porcelain ornaments displayed on the Bogu shelf, but unfortunately Ziqing only embroidered a folding screen with eight openings, and a tiger skin was also laid on the chaise longue, and Ziqing didn't have time to put it away.
