Chapter 169, the old man does longevity (1)
"What do you know, even if your daddy is not in a thousand ways, but he also has his advantages, as long as he promises something, he will basically keep his promise, you can rest assured. It's just that I thought he hadn't been at home all these years, and the silver and rice promised to his father and mother a year had not been fulfilled. I didn't expect my father and mother to squeak. Zeng Ruixiang said, thinking in his heart, if this is a change of himself, how can his mother make trouble? This thought made my heart a little more discouraged.
Shen understands Zeng Ruixiang's thoughts, to be honest, her husband can do this today, Shen is very surprised, she is not reluctant to give up the more than a dozen taels of silver, the key is that every year the silver is out and there is no good sound, the child is not willing to even have a table of recognition dinner, the excess silver is all put into Chunyu, who can be happy?
"By the way, tomorrow will be all on the family tree, and everyone will come over to help early." Zeng Ruixiang said.
Zifu hurriedly took the lead and agreed, no matter what, today is really a good day for Zifu and them, the family gathered around the brazier, playing, laughing and laughing, but it also really responded to this sentence, a few happy and a few sad, the old house this Chinese New Year's Eve seems particularly long.
Tian complained that the old man didn't open his mouth to stop Zeng Ruixiang, nor did he ask for pocket money, while the old man complained that Tian treated his son and daughter-in-law badly. Zhou's complaint that Zeng Ruiqing shouldn't have agreed casually, according to the second child's temperament, a few soft words can be coaxed, why bother with all this silver, there will be more places to spend money in the future. Zeng Ruiqing thought, isn't it just for Ziquan. The two couples were in their rooms, whispering until midnight.
On the first day of the new year, because of Zeng Ruiqing's return, Zeng Ruixiang took the children to the old house early in the morning, and after a night of discussion, totaled. Their respective moods have precipitated, and Tian and Zhou also seem to accept the reality. This was a bit unexpected by Ziqing, at least they felt that the Tian family and the Zhou family could not be so calm. Forget it, it's useless to think so much, let's take it one step at a time.
After sacrificing to the ancestors. Ziquan finished the family tree, the men accompanied the clan to eat in the ancestral hall, and after the women cleaned up at home, Shen took Ziqing and they went home first, who knew that after dinner, the old man proposed to go to the younger son's house to play a few rounds of mahjong, Zhou used to love to play scratch cards, heard about this, on a whim, also followed.
Ziqing saw that all the people in the old house came over. I was also startled, thinking that something had changed last night, not only Ziqing, but also thinking about Shen and Zifu's expressions.
I heard that the old man wants to play mahjong. and sat down first, Zifu hurriedly handed over a copper plate, and accompanied Zeng Ruixiang, Zhou would be able to take a look, and when he wanted to go up, Zilu gave up his position to her. Zeng Ruiqing watched Zhou's play on the side, Shen took a basket of oranges out and cut them, relieving the greasy for everyone, and the children ate one and still eat, Shen didn't dare to let the child eat too much, saying that he was afraid of stomach trouble. The son didn't do it at all, he stomped his feet again, and hummed and chirped, Shen took five or six and put them aside, coaxed the child, and said that he would go back and take the family to eat.
Zhou was busy coding cards on the side, and said: "This kid is like this, he loves to eat until he has eaten enough to not make a fuss, usually at home, how can he have this condition?" ”
Tian suddenly asked Zeng Ruiqing and Zeng Ruixiang, "Boss, second, your father will be sixty this spring, how are you doing?" Taking advantage of the fact that there are all people today, you two have discussed it. ”
Ziqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, it turned out that she was still prepared today, not just playing mahjong, just saying, it looks so calm, unlike Tian's Suri.
"I'm still the same sentence, it doesn't matter, the key depends on Chunyu and them, aren't our brothers just in charge of the rice? Let's talk about it when everyone gets together in the second year of junior high school. Zeng Ruiqing said.
Here Tian listened, his face sank, and after a while, he sat next to Ziqing and said: "Granddaughter, your grandfather will celebrate his sixtieth birthday this year, and your aunts have no conditions, you make a good dress and prepare a reward purse, and your aunts are responsible for Shou Tao." ”
Ziqing was a little embarrassed when she heard this, one was that she had too much needlework, where was she busy, and second, she thought that she was a granddaughter, what did she do earlier. Ziqing just wanted to speak, and Shen said: "Mother, Ziqing is going to make a wedding dress in spring, and she and Kangping's four-season clothes, not a single screen has been embroidered, where is the effort to do this?" Besides, I haven't heard that my unmarried granddaughter wants to do this, isn't there still three aunts? ”
"Yes, Grandma, I don't have time to make purses." Ziqing said.
Tian Shi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, when the old man heard what Ziqing said, he frowned and said: "What maggots are the old woman chewing again, I have told you so many times, don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about, I raised three girls together, and I can't even wear a new set of clothes for a long time, and I want to spend money on the granddaughter who has not yet left the cabinet?" They are not afraid of falling stocks, I am also afraid of falling stocks, I can live a few 60 birthdays in my life, according to this, it is better not to do it. It's not that they really can't get by, I don't see that there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the lives of Xia Yu and Chunyu are not bad, so why bother not to have enough food. ”
Tian listened to some sneering, Ziqing said: "Ah Gong, I am a junior, Ah Gong is a longevity, and the reasoning should also be a little bit of a flower, it is better for me to be filial... ”
"Filial piety is not on this, I am not short of food and clothing now, in the past, every year of silver, four seasons of clothes, your father and mother have a good day to send us, now although with your father, the silver is a little less, but it is enough for us to eat and drink. I, it's true to live a few more years, if you really want to honor me, give Ah Gong some pocket money to play mahjong, and I will be content. The old man didn't wait for Ziqing to finish speaking, and then hurriedly said.
When Lin Kangping heard this, he hurriedly took a handful of money from the house where he lived, and the old man smiled and squinted, and said, "It's still my grandson-in-law who is clever, and this is enough for me to play for several years." ”
Zhou's eyes were red when he saw it, and he said: "Dad, you can't use a lot of money for rewarding, and your father will calculate if you co-author, the words are so good, and you can get a lot of money." ”
When Ziqing and Lin Kangping heard it, it was not, Jiang was still old and spicy, and after saying a few good words, he gave the money away.
"Chew what? How is this a calculation? This is the filial piety of my grandson-in-law, my old man can't borrow his daughter's light, and he can't borrow his granddaughter's light? The old man shouted.
Tian didn't like to listen to it on the side, and said: "After drinking a glass of wine and starting to talk nonsense, Chunyu and the others don't feel much sad when they know it, what does it mean to borrow the light, you don't want to think about it, they want to have that spare money, can they not give you the flowers to be a father?" If you don't have that spare money, where do you let them go to find it? ”
"Don't let that fart out, I won't tell you anymore, I can't understand it for the rest of my life, don't interrupt my card play, two." As soon as the old man played the cards, Zhou Shixi hurriedly said: "Hu, Hu, it's all the same." Give money, give money. The angry old man hurriedly pushed Tian Shi to stay away from him.
This night, Zeng Ruixiang and Zifu have been releasing water, and they haven't played much, the old man is older, and he is not as shrewd as Zhou, so only she wins when the three lose, Zhou looks at a lot of copper plates in front of him, but he is really happy.
On the second day of junior high school, Ziqing stayed at home to help the Shen family entertain the three aunts and grandmothers, because it would only be once every two years in the future, and the Shen family did not have much resistance. The old man and Chunyu and Qiuyu's families arrived first, Lin Kangping's Xia Yu family went to pick them up, Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou's family said that they would go to their mother's house first and then come. Ziping also came with her son, which surprised everyone, especially Zhou, seeing Ziping's mother and son, they couldn't wait to pull the good dishes on the dinner table into their bowls, and the speed of grabbing the vegetables was as fast as a few hairs.
After the meal, several children took a small cannon to play in the yard, Zeng Ruiqing said: "Today everyone is complete, my father and mother are also here, discuss the matter of Kaichun Dad's 60th birthday, I am the boss, I am Zhang Luo, according to the rules, I and the second child are responsible for the banquet, and you three sisters see how to divide it?" ”
"What is there to divide this, what to buy and what to do, how much money is spent, and when the time comes, the three of us sisters will be equal." Xia Yu saw that Chunyu didn't squeak, so he spoke.
"It's not so simple, what kind of cloth clothes, shoes, purses for rewarding, how much copper plate is used for rewarding, what kind of longevity peach is made, these are all exquisite, a mile and a lot of outside, we haven't done it, ask the second sister-in-law how to set it for her in-laws before?" Qiu Yu said.
"This can't be compared, the second sister-in-law has a thick family background, everything is the best, we can't compare, how much worse is the jewelry alone?" Chunyu said.
"Dad doesn't need jewelry, just clothes, shoes and socks, how much worse?" Qiu Yu was a little dissatisfied after hearing Chunyu's words and glared at her.
Seeing them so calculating, Shen secretly laughed, but he didn't answer.
"Look at a few of you, my father has three of your precious daughters, and the three of you are the most important. Dad said that day, who should spend the money? The three of you have to discuss, Dad, if you want to play mahjong pocket money, Kang Ping immediately paid a lot of money, which is much happier than you. Zhou smiled and said to Chunyu and the others, how can they all have a little bit of a lively mind.
Shen Shi was silent when he heard this, but the corners of his mouth also turned up a little, and Qiu Yu hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I will make my father's clothes, the second sister of shoes will do it, and the eldest sister of the purse will do it, and the money for the reward will be shared equally among the three families, and Shou Tao will do its own one, or use white noodles, and it will not be much worse." ”
"How much does it cost?" Chunyu asked.
"I prepared a hundred at that time, our family may not be able to ask for it, the master of the kitchen is 60 Wen per person, and the younger generations in the family are 6 Wen per person, which means. You count the number of people in each family, and then you have a surplus. Shen said.
Chunyu was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "A purse can be sold for several documents, my family has a big loss, I can't prepare it alone, and the purse is even." ”
"Everything is all, your Guiying and Osmanthus are idle, not all of them can help you do it, these years, you really don't lose at all, and you don't want to think about how much your father and mother have helped you, you can also say this, and you are not afraid of your father's coldness, I want to make clothes, the second sister's health is not good, as far as your family is more, it is so decided." Qiu Yu said. (To be continued)
