"Sister, I would have asked you to move home for a few days, but you didn't listen, you had to speak, the eldest brother said, you are not at home, the family feels a lot more deserted, and no one laughs [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 220, Shen Family Chapter]." Zixi said.

Ziqing gave Zixi a hand and said, "You are a monkey when you are your sister, and you are still laughing." ”

Ziqing packed up while talking, and took everyone to the hall in the front yard, and after a while, the He family and they all came, because they were notified in advance, so this time the relatives of the Shen family who are directly related to the blood have arrived, a grandmother, three uncles, three aunts, ten cousins, ten cousins, ten cousins, four cousins, four cousins, four cousins, and the fourth generation of the He family, there are also more than twenty, Ziqing did not count the number of people, more or less brought gifts to the children, there are silver locks, jade pendants, most of them are clothes, shoes and socks, and there is a full table. After reading it, Xiaolan hurriedly put it away.

Ziqing thanked them one by one, served tea to several elders, and gave each child two five-point begonia fancy silver barley as a meeting gift, fortunately, the things were prepared, and the children's parents were happy to see it, many people said that they had never seen such a small and delicate silver barley, and they were busy thanking them, and helped their children put them away.

Shen really didn't expect that his mother's family could gather so together today, and he was so excited that tears came out. A group of people laughed around He's, He put on a new silk dress with a dark pattern of Fushou given by Ziqing today, and the forehead wipes on his head were also made by Ziqing himself, the jade hairpin on his head and the jade in front of his forehead are all of the highest grade.

"Grandma, you really look like a landlord's wife when you dress like this." Ziqing said with a smile.

"Where, we also said at home that the landlord's wife in the village is far worse than your grandmother, and she came to our house to visit the door, and she was still jealous of your grandmother's outfit." The eldest aunt Xu smiled.

"I didn't expect that when I got old, I would have a lot of luck, and I have watched your family life become more and more prosperous in the past few years. My wife, I've worked hard all my life, and this time I can finally enjoy a few years of happiness. He looked at the descendants in the room, with a smile on his face.

Ziqing didn't count so many people. His family only prepared five tables of dishes and chopsticks, and he hurriedly instructed Lin An and Lin Fu to follow Shen home to get tables, chopsticks, tables and chairs, fortunately, the restaurant was big enough, connected to the stove room, and six tables were placed, and several one- and two-year-old children were held in their hands. It was easy to sit down, and everyone looked at He first. He glanced at it and said, "You all borrowed my granddaughter's light today, it's not easy to sit together, eat more food, there are a lot of things you haven't seen in the past few days, and it's a taste today, but what you eat, what you see." Just go out and keep your mouth shut, and don't go around showing off. Trouble for Qing'er. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and whoever wants to ignore them, I will not spare him first. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying, "You still don't understand this truth?" ”

"Then let's go, everyone is free, and I will give Aunt Lin a glass of wine in a while, and Qing'er will not have to be respected." As soon as He spoke, the banquet was staggered. Talking and laughing, guessing the boxing, you come and go, it's not lively.

Lin Kangping was busy toasting the elders and peers, Ziqing was at a table with the He family, the Shen family, the three uncles and the four cousins, and what the women said was nothing more than some parenting scriptures [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 220, Shen Family Chapter]. The men are talking about whose children are out, what are the children doing outside, the harvest of the old year, what has risen and what has fallen, it feels like an information exchange meeting, during which some people also asked Lin Kangping what to do, and Lin Kangping also said to get some tea and mountain goods to go to Yuecheng.

Shen Jianren said: "You didn't say it earlier, I was in Linshan County, where there are mountains all around, rich in wood, tea, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other mountain goods, your third cousin opened a mountain goods grocery store, often mountain people come over, what do you want, let him help you buy in advance, there is a high mountain in Linshan County, called Yishan, perennial clouds and mist, the tea there is really good, especially the tea before the rain, but the transportation is inconvenient, in and out of trouble." If you want, I'll ask my eldest to go into the mountains to help you collect it. He was a forest fire officer. ”

Lin Kangping nodded in agreement after hearing this, and said: "That's the best, I sometimes go into the mountain to collect some things by myself, I'll go to you after Qingming." ”

"Brother-in-law, do you need bodyguards, I am an authentic Shaolin martial arts, ordinary people can not get close to my body, if you go out with me, I will accompany you to run, I heard my aunt say that you go out twice a year, I am also a lazy person, to be honest, I used to work in the dart bureau, I can't stand the constraints, I can still accept two trips with you a year, the requirements are not high, give me twenty taels of silver a year, enough for me to support my family." But there's one thing, I'm eating a lot, and you're going to have to fill me up. Shen Jianren's second son, Shen Baofu, said loudly.

"Which one of you is bigger, the whole rice bucket, you can eat five or six people's food alone, brother-in-law is about to take it away, how much rice money do I save a year." Shen Baofu's wife Yu said.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, not to mention the salary, the annual food money has also been saved a lot." "It seems that this Shen Baofu is famous for his large amount of food.

"You don't ask if you want people to use people, so you force them first. Just these two of you, can it be worth twenty taels? Your eldest brother only earns ten taels a year as a serious servant, but you really dare to speak. Shen Jianren shouted to Shen Baofu.

"Dad, what kind of coercion am I, aren't you asking? When did your old man ever look at me? The brother-in-law hasn't said anything yet, but you arranged it first. Shen Baofu replied in a low voice.

"Aunt Lin, my son knows, kung fu, there are indeed some, who love to dance with knives and sticks since childhood, and no one can control it. When he was a teenager, he saved an old man who had no children and no daughters, and followed the man for three or four years, and the old man taught him martial arts, and then he went to Shaolin Temple alone, and stayed in Shaolin Temple for a few years, none of us knew, and thought he went out with his master. Listen to what my aunt said, don't be embarrassed, if you want to use someone, just use him, no problem, I dare to pack a ticket. If you don't need it, just say it's okay. are all relatives, don't be embarrassed, the silver looks at and gives a little, enough for him to support his family. Xiao said.

"Okay, I usually take one person with me when I go out, it's naturally better to have a cousin who is so powerful, and I can't find a suitable one." I only use it twice a year, and I can't find it more suitable than my cousin. It's just that there is one point, I take the waterway, you don't get seasick. Lin Kangping said.

"The boat in the river is not dizzy, and I haven't been in the sea, so it should be fine. Okay, when am I going to come to you? Shen Baofu asked.

"Don't worry, I'll go to your house before I go out. I just talked to my third uncle. Lin Kangping said.

"Oh, my brother and sister finally threw this burden out, it's not easy, or my cousin-in-law is interesting enough, my brother and sister have to thank Ziqing. If nothing else, twenty taels of silver this year is much better than his eldest brother. Shen Jianren's eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, said to Yu.

"Sister-in-law, I don't dare to count on the money, I just hope that he can find something to do, and I will be content to support this family." Yu replied.

"Yo, how can you support your family without money? Now the younger brothers and sisters are not worried, with the silver can also buy land and buy a home, which is like us, a year tight, no surplus. Wang said enviously.

"Sit and eat your meal, what all this nonsense? The second child fights for his life with his fists, can he be the same as the boss? Xiao glared at Wang, and Wang immediately lowered his head.

When Ziqing heard it, this Wang family is not a good person, looking at the eldest cousin of the third uncle's family, Shen Chunfu is an honest person who is not good at talking, and it is said that he is also a mother-in-law, but now that he looks at it, he is afraid that he is still afraid. Fortunately, the third uncle's family has also separated, and the third uncle is also shrewd and capable, and the Wang family does not dare to be too arrogant.

Yu really brought a glass of wine and came over to find Ziqing, Ziqing hurriedly stood up and said: "My cousin-in-law is too outside, and my aunt just said that they are all relatives, not to mention that they really need it, and I should thank my cousin-in-law for sharing my worries." ”

"Sit down, it's not worth anything, the family should have been supporting each other, you need him today, Ming'er may not be if he needs you, you can pull it, but there is one point, don't be lazy and treacherous, have the heart to go to outsiders, who wants to do this to their own family, I don't follow it." I have raised your four children all my life, relying on the family business I earned with both hands, although I did not make you rich, but I did not shorten your food and clothing, and now you are all scattered, children and grandchildren, don't forget to teach your children more. Ho said.

When Shen Jianshan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "What my mother taught me is that my sons dare not forget. My mother is so old, and it is the sin of my sons to worry about this. ”

When Ziqing heard this, she almost laughed out loud, she is dozens of years old, and she is still respectful in front of her mother, this ancient filial piety is really not a joke, no wonder her father can't get rid of her grandmother's clamps.

After the meal, sit in the hall for a while, drink tea and chat, several uncles also played mahjong, it was not enough to set up three tables, there were more lively people than playing, Ziqing took He and Shen Wenyu back to the room to talk.

After dinner, everyone Zhang Luo went home, Ziqing gave a return gift to each family, the three uncles were a basket of eggs, a fine green cotton cloth, a jujube red rich Changchun satin, a bag of dried fruits, a bag of snacks, two fish, a few knots of lotus root, five catties of pork, cousins and cousins only had a basket of eggs, a horse of azure cotton, a horse of flower cloth, a bag of dried fruits, a package of snacks, a fish, five catties of pork, the juniors have given a meeting gift, all of which are two and a half points of silver barley.

The He family stayed, and Shen Jianren's family also stayed, planning to rush back to Linshan County early the next morning.

Supper is also eaten in the sunny garden, after the meal, light the pine branches to set off fireworks, play mahjong, it is really lively and abnormal, not to mention in detail. (To be continued)
