This year's winter solstice is November 17, when Zeng Ruixiang went home, Shen remembered that the winter solstice was coming, she had been busy embroidering recently, just completed, ready to go to the city the next day to sell and buy some things back to Zixi to buy a Zhou gift, it is estimated that the Shen family will come to someone.

The next day, Zeng Ruixiang took the boy of the family to the old house, it is said that he also had to go to the ancestral tomb, Ziqing saw the incense, candles, fruits and other sacrifices prepared by the Shen family, and came back after the sacrifice, and the old house did not take care of the meal, Zeng Ruixiang was obviously a little disappointed.

Shen asked: "Will they come when Zixi is the first child?" ”

Zeng Ruixiang said a little embarrassed: "Old man, they may have forgotten Zixi's birthday, and no one mentioned it, and I am embarrassed to ask, what do you say?" ”

As soon as Shen heard it, he said that it would be forgotten, and his family would live.

On the eighteenth day, Shen still went to the city with Zeng Ruixiang, and came back to buy a lot of things, cotton cloth snacks, meat, pig's trotters, and a piece of beef. A lot of red paper, it seems that Zeng Ruixiang still remembers the sale of couplets last year, and this year is also short of silver, so prepare early.

The most surprising thing for Ziqing was that Shen brought five red oranges to Ziqing, and said: "As soon as my mother saw this, she remembered the oranges you nagged all day long, but this is not it, the seller said that it was in the leaves that grew on the top of the treetops, and I didn't find it when I picked it, and if I saw it earlier, it would have been gone." It's really not cheap, it costs four cents a piece, and my mother doesn't know if it's good or not, so I bought five. But there are not many of them. ”

Ziqing really felt that there was nowhere to find it when she stepped on the iron shoes, so she didn't have to work hard to get it, so she immediately peeled one off and tasted it first, it tasted good, much better than the green-skinned ones eaten in the Mid-Autumn Festival. So Ziqing asked everyone to divide it, planning to bury the seeds in the soil anyway. However, as soon as a few people peeled off the skin in the room, they heard Master Xu shouting that someone outside was calling for the door. Shen hurriedly piled the red paper cloth or something under the bed.

Ziqing wants to move into a new house this time, the outer courtyard door is farther away, the sound insulation effect of the brick house is better, the family wants to play and laugh in the main room, I really don't know that outsiders are calling the door, Ziqing remembers that there were bells or something in ancient times, or buy one to make a simple doorbell or something.

Zifu came with the old man, Tian, Xia Yu and Qiu Yu, saying that it was for Zixi's first birthday, and he took two pairs of small shoes, a new suit of clothes and pants, cotton, Tian said that it was made by two aunts. It's really not easy, no one cares about Zishou and Ziqing's birthdays.

Suddenly, Tian caught a glimpse of the oranges in everyone's hands, Ziqing hurriedly handed them over and said, "Grandma, this is what my mother bought for my little brother's birthday in the city today, and I just opened it to coax him to eat, grandma, you taste it first, it's sweet." ”

"Hmph, I didn't know how to give your father and mother two tastes yesterday to buy such an expensive fruit, the child is one year old, and I don't know how to say it to my father, it is obvious that life is good, and I dislike my father and mother." Tian expressed dissatisfaction.

"Mother, what do you say, this orange was bought when I went to the city today to see it, Ziqing has been looking for a long time and has not found it, this child wants to plant fruit trees, how can he not support his father? There are two packs of dim sum here, and I was thinking of sending them over later, and by the way, I asked you to come over for dinner, no, the dishes are ready, just waiting to be made. Ziqing found out that her father had also learned to lie, and she didn't dare to laugh for a long time, and she was hurt internally.

"My son said so, don't pick again, I'll just say it, our son is not that kind of person, you don't believe it, you still don't know the second child after so many years." The old man said to Tian.

After speaking, he said to Zeng Ruixiang: "Ruixiang, you go and invite your eldest brother and them, your eldest brother will leave in the afternoon, you let them come over for a meal." There should also be many places between brothers, and don't be divided because of separation. Zeng Ruixiang agreed.

Shen knew that Tian liked to eat steamed meatloaf soup, so he steamed a big bowl, added a few jujubes, and also steamed a big bowl of egg custard, and burned a pork belly with potatoes, stewed a tofu and yellow sprouts in a casserole, and put some meat foam, the rest is a well-cooked dish, stewed a dried fish with dried green peppers, put a lot of chives, shredded a small piece of fine beef, fried with shredded white radish, and shredded potatoes, and a few greens, it's almost the same.

When Zeng Ruixiang and Zeng Ruiqing's family entered the door, they met He with his two sons and daughters-in-law at the door, He gave Zixi a small silver collar, and Xu and Zhao made a set of clothes, shoes and socks for the children. Zhou took a purse, it is estimated that it was prepared temporarily, and he was embarrassed to come empty-handed.

Tian looked at the collar prepared by He's, a little sneering, she came empty-handed, Ziqing took He's silver collar, and deliberately shouted: "Mother, bring your little brother over, grandma has given me a silver collar." ”

The meal was almost ready, and Shen was rolling noodles. After listening to Ziqing's words, he glared at Ziqing and said, "What do you look like, let your eldest brother hug Zi and be happy." ”

The old man hurriedly said, catch the week first and then eat. Everyone is sitting in the restaurant, the chairs in the hall have not yet been completed, and they can only sit in the dining room, the old man spoke again, just put something on the table, how can the Zhuang family be so exquisite.

Zeng Ruixiang listened and hurriedly brought a few things prepared, pen calligraphy and painting are necessary, as well as a small abacus, a small silver ingot, a small sword, of course, in the sleeve, seals, toys, Ziqing counted only eight kinds, and then Qiuyu brought a plate of dim sum in, and said with a smile to see if it was a delicious ghost. Ziqing despised her in her heart.

Zifu hugged Zixi out, Zixi was dressed in red new clothes today, and brought a small silver lock, white and clean, looking so cute, sitting at the dining table, looking at the things in the tray and curious, pulling and pulling, grabbing a seal in his right hand, and grabbing a small silver ingot in his left hand, Ziqing felt that the silver was eye-catching, and the seal was fun, so Zixi took it, but he was still very happy, and he must train him well in the future to make money, and he would become a shareholder by himself, and hide behind to count the silver.

The old man couldn't close his mouth when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "This kid will have a great future, he can be an official and make a lot of money." My old Zeng family is also considered to be a successor, and the Guangda Gate will point to them in the future. ”

Others laughed. At this moment, no one expected that Ah Gong's words would come true later.

Zeng Ruixiang has some regrets, it is estimated that he wants his youngest son to grab a pen and a book, it is said that Zifu grabbed a pen, and he is the eldest grandson, so he sent it to enlightenment early. However, isn't the best way out for a scholar to become a scholar? Thinking about it like this, Zeng Ruixiang couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and his eyes looked at Zixi a lot more eagerly.
