Chapter 313, Zixi's proposal
"Why didn't you come? Came last night and had dinner here. [~] There are also grandpa and grandma. Yang said.
"I said, it's such a big thing, there is no reason not to see anyone. Coming empty-handed? Ziqing asked.
"It seems that I made a pair of shoes for my father and mother, which is quite exquisite. may know that the fourth brother has passed the exam and began to prepare. Chan replied.
Things are not expensive or cheap, the mind is the most important, Qiu Yu has been close to Zeng Ruixiang now, so naturally he has to put some thought into it.
"Decide when the wine will be served?" Ziqing asked.
"April 20." Fu said.
"Second sister-in-law, what about my second brother's school?" Ziqing asked, Zilu's school opened, and it took some effort to recruit more than ten children, I don't know if it will be better in the future?
"My brother took the place first, he has also studied for so many years, and he can't pass the exam, but this time he made up his mind and said that he wanted to make the restaurant bigger, and in the future, he will focus on making money." Chan said. The Chen family still has some talent in business, willing to endure hardships, and can put down their figures, today's Chen family is also considered to have a firm foothold in Anzhou City, not only Chen's parents, but also her eldest brother bought a house in the city after getting married.
Ziqing saw the envy on the Yang family's face, the situation of the Yang family has not improved much, and the younger sister of the Yang family is also married, and she is also married to a showman, but the conditions are much worse than the Zeng family. There are still two younger brothers at home, both studying in the school, and it is time to spend money.
When Mrs. Fu left, she took Ziqing's hand and smiled, "When will you be born?" But don't forget to tell me, you are really a lucky star, it's only been a few days, and you're pregnant again, I'm afraid that you'll be like your mother, and good things are still to come. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Cheng Jiyan, if this is the case, the time comes. Send a big gift to your wife. Ziqing said with a smile.
"Really? Did you hear that? I see what you're going to do then? Mrs. Fu said with a smile. [~]
The Fu family left, the old man and the Tian family also left, Shen Jianren's family stayed, and Zeng Ruixiang didn't mention Zeng Ruiqing's matter. Ziqing didn't want to ask, but when Ziqing looked at Zeng Ruixiang's face, she probably broke up unhappily.
The next day, Ziqing was checking some simple accounts of Xiao Luji, and after Xiao Lan left, this Xiao Lu took her place. It may be that the time is not enough to run in, and Ziqing has to put more effort into it than before. Alain came and said that Mrs. Xia was here.
The Xia family will be here, it should also be He Xilai, reasoning, it doesn't matter if Ziqing goes or not, but since the Shen family sent someone to tell Ziqing. I'm afraid there is something else. When Ziqing arrived, it was when Zeng Ruixiang came back from the school, it seems. The Xia family is really in trouble.
Sure enough, Ziqing entered the house and saw Mrs. Xia and Shen sitting and laughing, and there was a mother-in-law dressed as an official media next to her, and there were a few boxes of gifts in the hall.
Ziqing thought about it, even Ziyu was sixteen years old, and Ziqing still remembered the scene of her birth. The danger of that night, He's wrestling, Ziqing's helplessness and fear, and Zeng Ruiqing's unreasonableness, flashed scene by scene at this moment, and Ziqing's tears involuntarily dripped down.
Factor Xi will return to Beijing next month. It is unlikely that he will come back halfway to participate in Ziyu's wedding, so he can only put it in the wax moon again, and after discussing the wax month, he will ask the master to calculate an auspicious day, and Ziyu's marriage will be decided.
Mrs. Xia was overjoyed, and secretly glad that she started quickly, Ziyu is now a genuine official lady, and her grade is much higher than her family, and she has also seen that the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family is very good, and her son will not worry about no help in the future.
Although Ziyu's family affairs have been decided, the sixteenth of the lunar month. However, the Shen family has to worry about Zixi's affairs first, arranging wine is one, and Zixi has entered the Hanlin Academy to do editing, and in the future, she will definitely stay in the capital, buy a house, buy a home, and take care of the clothes, shoes and socks in Beijing, fortunately, Fu Shi is on the side to assist her. [~]
Lin Kangping didn't catch up with the Zeng family's wine, and when he came back, he regretted that he didn't see the Zeng family's most glorious time.
"I've been gone for a month, and there is such a big happy event at home, are there many guests?" Lin Kangping asked.
"No, I don't know how many gifts there are, the tables are full, I didn't expect that there are a lot of people in Anzhou Mansion, Linjiang County and the town, I originally bought this yard and thought the place was quite big, and then I built those four yards, this place of wine, it's really a little small, and the people from the city are eating in the school."
Ziqing remembered the chaos of that day, and still had a headache, and there were fewer banquets prepared, so she still transferred Wang Pozi and Shi Pozi and Huang Pozi from the house, and opened a few tables in the school, and the meals were more exquisite. Originally, according to Ziqing's intentions, it was also possible to call people to Qingyuan, but Zeng Ruixiang did not agree, for fear that the people who came would be too mixed and cause disaster to Qingyuan.
"Didn't you say that?"
"Why not? My father and aunt both came, but my father didn't bother to talk to them, seeing what my father meant, he didn't want to communicate, but my father had looked for my father before, and it seemed that they were unhappy. ”
The two were talking, Zixi and Fu came over, Zixi shouted when he entered the door: "Brother-in-law, you just came back, this time it's really thanks to those people in your family, I've been waiting to thank you in person." ”
"If you are sincere, you will kowtow to me, and I will also enjoy the taste of kowtowing to Tanhualang." Lin Kangping teased.
"Come less, if I want to kowtow, I will also kowtow to my sister, and I will thank my sister. Reasoning, it's not too much for me to kowtow to thank you, but who told my sister to feel sorry for me and not let me kowtow? Zixi smiled.
"You're here to thank me? Why do I think it's here to be angry with me? When will you go back to the capital? Lin Kangping asked.
"May 12th, brother-in-law, why don't you also take my sister to the capital, or just my family, how boring, I don't want to find someone to quarrel?"
Lin Kangping smiled and replied, "Get out, who wants to grind their teeth with you?" ”
Zixi really grinded Ziqing for a while, and it was originally the same, Lin Kangping's house, shop, and Zhuangzi in the capital were complete, and there were a lot of industries. But Zixi didn't know what happened to Ziqing in the capital that year, and Ziqing couldn't explain it to him.
"Okay, I'll talk about it when I have a chance later, you can get out of the door now you see how I look?" Ziqing said to Zixi, who had been shaking her arm.
After Zixi and Fu left, Ziqing asked Lin Kangping: "Do you really not want to go back to Beijing?" ”
"No, it's good here, it's not that it's okay, Qingyuan is our home. It's just that I have wronged you, and what I can give you is too little. Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said.
Originally, it was a coincidence that he was able to marry Ziqing back then, but now, the status of the Zeng family is not what it used to be, Lin Kangping feels that Ziqing should be better, but it is impossible to let him go. What Lin Kangping can do is to do his best to give Ziqing a stable and prosperous life.
Sending Zixi away, Shen began to prepare Ziyu for marriage with peace of mind, clothes, purses, screens, bedding, etc. Ziqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, this year's summer is not the same as before, it hasn't entered June yet, it's already very hot, Ziqing basically doesn't go out, seeing that the Shen family is so busy, she can't help, and even her mother's house is less.
The three sons of the family are also full of heat, eager to soak in the water all day long, Lin Kangping often takes the three of them to play in the small river outside the village before dark. The water there is clearer and not deeper. Lin Kangping specially took them to learn to swim, in his opinion, practice and swimming are all skills that should be learned, and they may be used at any time.
Shurui is seven years old this year, I don't know if it's because of the eldest in the family, he has a trace of calmness when he talks and does things on weekdays, quite a bit of Zifu's demeanor back then, and is very loved by Zeng Ruixiang, often saying that the child can be taught, but Ziqing is a little too old, this learning to swim, the temperament is more lively.
Pregnant women are already afraid of heat, children can swim and soak in the water, what can Ziqing do? Ziqing sat on the bamboo mat, digging the watermelon soaked in well water with a spoon, and sighed that it would be nice if there was ice, and it would be fun to use watermelon to make a smoothie and eat it directly!
Ziqing thought of smoothies, gluttonous insects came up, she was still a chemistry student, why didn't she think of making ice by herself? As soon as Ziqing thought of this, she couldn't take it a long way, and recalled the ice-making method under the existing conditions. So he asked Lin Kangping to buy some saltpeter, hide in the house, and personally demonstrate how to make ice. Take a large vat, put saltpeter into the vat, and use a clean copper basin to fill half a basin of water, sit in the vat, and then pour water into the vat.
After a while, the water in the basin froze, Ziqing took some down, mashed it, and sprinkled it into the cut watermelon pulp, and the simple watermelon smoothie was ready, Ziqing gave Lin Kangping a taste, and he also ate a bite, how many years have not tasted the taste, I really miss it.
After eating it, Lin Kangping complained: "Qing'er has this ability, and she didn't take it out earlier, which caused us to be hot for several summers." In the past, when I was in the Wen family, they all dug cellars to store ice, and the cost was too high, and there were also ice makers in the capital who made ice in the summer and sold ice food, but I didn't know how the ice came about, how did you learn it? ”
"Okay, don't you just remember this, I'll tell you how I learned it later, hurry up and send some to my mother." Ziqing pushed Lin Kangping out, and then brought a large plate of smoothies to find Shuyan and Shuyu.
As soon as Ziqing came out, she saw Shuyan and Shuyu playing koi in the pool, the pool in the inner courtyard was not deep, the water was just over the surface of the feet, as soon as it was hot, the two children loved to play in the water, and these beautiful little fish were attracted, and they were not afraid of the sun.
"Yan'er, Yu'er, come here, my mother has made something to eat for you." Ziqing shouted under the porch.
When the two children heard the delicious food, they ran over one after the other. Shuyan looked at the watermelon in Ziqing's hand, pouted, and said, "Mother, you are lying again, isn't it just a watermelon?" (To be continued.)
