Early the next morning, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu and Lin Kangping out of the house, and went to the old house first, sure enough, the old man was angry when he heard the news of Zifu's separation, and scolded: "How can there be a reason to kick the child out as soon as they get married?" If you do this, what does Zifu think, and what does the new daughter-in-law think? This life is to have a lot of people, and only when the popularity is prosperous can the family be prosperous, listen to my advice, and wait for the son to get married and then divide. ”

Zifu explained that in order to make it convenient for him to buy a house abroad, the law of this dynasty cannot have his own property without a household registration.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and groaned for a while, Zeng Ruixiang took the opportunity to say: "Dad, isn't it still my child after the family is separated, I think about it, in the future, Zilu and they will be separated when they get married, and they will go out on their own. In case they can break into the roll call hall, they will not disgrace the reputation of their ancestors, and we will not teach in vain. You can rest assured, I ask them to go home every Spring Festival, and everyone is still lively together. ”

The old man relented when he heard this, and thought of his children, who were torn apart, and his heart was very uncomfortable, but what was wrong with all this? When I was young, I also suffered together, and the eldest was especially sensible, knowing that he was protecting his younger brothers and sisters, how did he get married and become unrecognizable? Especially the eldest daughter, for a little benefit, she didn't even care about a little family affection, and she had been biased towards her all these years, the old man was very puzzled, and this question puzzled him for a long time. After thinking about it, I just didn't think that the root of the problem was himself.

Tian took Zifu's hand and said, "Your grandmother is old. A year is not as good as a year, this grandma in the capital doesn't know how far away, you have to go home more to see, grandma can look at you more. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Zifu didn't feel good when he heard it, although this grandma was biased because she was the first grandson. Speaking from the heart. It's still good for him, although a big factor is that Zifu's performance is too good, which makes them realize that Zifu is worth investing, not to mention that Zifu is now a lifter. A visible future. If the Tian family can divide Zifu's heart to the Shen family and several other grandchildren, Zifu will sincerely miss Tian's affection, but it's a pity. Tian would never have thought of this.

Zeng Ruixiang and Zifu accompanied the old man to talk about family affairs, and then left, ignoring Chunyu and Yan Renda, who were watching on the side. They didn't expect it because they heard this. Da Mao's daughter-in-law went back and encouraged Da Mao to break up with his father. That's an afterword.

Zeng Ruixiang and they went home in the evening, saying that everything that should be done was almost done, and the old man said that eighteen was an auspicious day, and they would go early in the morning. Ziqing's tears immediately rolled out, and she choked up: "It's better when I was a child, I only realized it today." The price of growth is countless gatherings and separations. ”

This was very abrupt and made everyone stunned. Think, reminisce, agree. The house was quiet for a while. Only Lin Kangping took Ziqing's hand and hid aside and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't cry, Qing'er, as soon as you cry, I will be very uncomfortable." Don't be sad, wait for me for another year, I'll be back soon, don't worry, the price of my growth is to marry you, and then guard you, never to be separated again. ”

Sending Zifu away, Ziqing grabbed Zilu, Zishou and Zixi to go to the orange orchard to plant saplings for two days, for most of the month, Wang Tieshan has not been idle, and has dug more than 200 pits, Ziqing has to admit that Lin Kangping is still very discerning, and he did find a diligent person.

The chickens in the orange garden are also raising well, Ziqing has bought hundreds of chickens one after another, except for about a dozen that have frozen to death, the rest have lost the layer of milk hair, and the first batch of more than 80 chickens is almost a pound or so. Ziqing estimated that the total investment in this orange orchard was about 300 taels, and it should be recovered soon.

Zilu, Zishou and Zixi left on the afternoon of the 19th, and as soon as they were sent away, Xia Yu came with her son, and also brought some ducks and two live ducks that she made herself.

Shen Shi hurriedly took her into the house, asked when she came, how long she was going to stay, and asked Zhang Luo to stay for dinner, saw the things in Xia Yu's hand, and said: "It's so far away, it's so heavy, it's hard to bring it for you, don't take it in the future." I don't lack anything at home, it's good to keep it for yourself, don't worry about yourself and your children. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my sister-in-law sent those things I haven't eaten yet, and I don't have any good things, I know that you don't have ducks at home, so I won't bring you two over, I know Ziqing loves to eat, and this duck is also made by myself, sister-in-law and second brother taste it, and it is also a little bit of a sister's heart." Xia Yu said.

When Shen heard this, he hurriedly took it over, and then heard Xia Yu say: "Second sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I was very upset about letting the children go like this for the New Year, so I want to take you and my second brother to live with me for two days." ”

It turned out that on the third day of the junior high school, Zifu and they came back early, because they saw Da Mao and they all had to stay overnight, competing to occupy the room and bed, Zifu couldn't bear to let Xia Yu work too hard, plus there was a carriage, so he came back with his family, originally Lin Kangping didn't want to stay when he saw Da Mao and Gui Ying, and he had a meal in front of Xia Yu.

"What's this, it's worth it for you to say it once, and the kids came back and didn't say anything. I thought they were going home early to play mahjong. Your second brother's school is about to open tomorrow, and I can't be free, so I'm about to go back to my parents' house to take a look. Now that you're back, stay a little longer before you leave. Take good care of it, I look better than in previous years. Shen said.

"It's not thanks to the second sister-in-law, the goat's milk has been drinking, I can't raise the lamb to sell, now I live alone, but also a lot of worry, last year the old courtyard of the four orange trees also let me sell hundreds of Wen. In the old year, the annual medicine cost was slightly less than in previous years. You brought me those things again, and saved me a lot. For the first time in the year, I had a little surplus. Xia Yu said.

The two talked some gossip again, and when Xia Yu left, Ziqing asked her to send a letter to Qiu Yu and asked her sister-in-law Zhou Yunjiang to come over and plant saplings the next afternoon.

More than half a month later, Zifu Tuowen's family brought a letter, the journey was very smooth, and he temporarily lived with Lin Kangping, but as soon as he arrived in the capital, he found that the Liu family was happy.

Shen was so happy that he didn't know what to do, he was busy chanting the Buddha's incense, and sent Ziyu to send a letter to the old house, and Zeng Ruixiang went home in the afternoon, and forced him to write a reply immediately, asking Zifu to buy a girl or a mother-in-law to take care of Liu. He also said that if he left a few days later, he could stay at home and take care of him. After speaking, I was busy looking for fabrics to prepare clothes, shoes and socks for the children, and various supplies for the baby.

Zeng Ruixiang saw that his wife couldn't let go like this, so he said: "When you were pregnant and gave birth to a child, I was not by your side, you still have to wait for your father and mother, and take care of the child, don't you all come over?" Don't worry, they have to learn to grow up. ”

Shen Shi listened and said, "Can it be the same?" It is precisely because I have had enough of the suffering of being a daughter-in-law that I have to feel more sorry for my daughter-in-law and don't let her be like me. It's not a phrase you often teach me, saying that you should not do to others what you would not do to yourself, so I divided them early, while they are young, live a few sweet days, and when they have children, most of a woman's mind is occupied by children, where is there any energy to enjoy anything else. ”

"It's not bad, I'll use it after a few days of learning, it's not in vain that I can think of doing what I don't want to do to others, which really impresses me, but it's a pity, I want to teach you earlier, maybe you will also become a talented woman." Zeng Ruixiang said with a smile.

"That's nature, Qing'er will follow me." Shen smiled, the husband and wife made some jokes again, and Shen put down the things that were going to make clothes for the child.

Zilu's new house has been built, the furniture has just begun to be played, and the Shen family has a lot of things to take care of, and they have to find a matchmaker to ask the Chen family to agree to this year's marriage request, call the invitation period, and find someone to calculate the auspicious day, and to prepare the dowry, and to buy jewelry and clothing.

Ziqing saw that the Shen family was so busy, so she had to take over the work of the stove room, and the back mountain was handed over to Ziyu. There is a sister-in-law on the side of the orange garden, and Ziqing is busy embroidering screens during the day and making needlework at night. At the end of the old year, when Lin Kangping came back, he brought two plain white silk and muslin cloth, which were used to make underwear, Ziqing's breasts were somewhat developed, and he was not used to using the so-called bandeau and wrapped it around and around, which was not conducive to growing up. So Ziqing secretly made a few bras, and embroidered some begonia flowers on them, but she didn't dare to wear them, for fear of Shen's criticism, and wanted to keep them to wear after marriage. Ziqing slowly made all the underwear needed for the two to get married, long-sleeved and short-sleeved, as well as large bathrobes for bathing and cotton home clothes in winter, each piece of clothing took a little thought and embroidered flowers.

At the end of February, Zifu wrote again, saying that he had been admitted to the Guozijian and bought a small courtyard near the Guozijian, spent more than 500 taels of silver, and bought a family, the male to look after the yard, and the female to take care of the housework, and spent 1,200 taels of silver nearby to exchange for a bookstore, and the annual rent was 100 taels, which was enough for daily expenses.

Shen was overjoyed when she heard this, and said that she had finally settled down, and she could concentrate on Zilu's marriage. The Chen family agreed to the request to get married, because the daughter of the Chen family is sixteen this year, and the date is set on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.

Ziqing only then knew that the eldest brother went to the capital to take the Guozijian exam, and at the beginning of each year, there are students from all over the world, mainly those who have fallen behind, to enter Beijing to take the Guozijian exam, and after studying in the Guozijian for a few years, the success rate of the Jinshi examination is naturally greater.
