On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Kangping also put on a new dress, a dark purple cloth cotton robe, and the overcoat was rose red silk, and he kowtowed to Zeng Ruixiang and Shen with Ziqing, and Shen also sealed a red envelope to him, Lin Kangping knelt and kowtowed three more times, and said: "This Spring Festival is the happiest and warmest I can remember, thank my father and mother for accepting me, you not only gave me Qing'er, but also gave me a home, I will definitely cherish this family affection." ”

Shen was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly helped Lin Kangping up, and said: "Child, from now on, you are also our child, we are your family, but you are not allowed to go outside, this New Year, you will follow Zifu and them to recognize your relatives." ”

Lin Kangping was very moved when he heard it, Zifu and Zilu were waiting for Lin Kangping to call his brother, the two coaxed together, Lin Kangping was a little embarrassed to call, Ziqing chased after Zifu and Zilu and said: "If you ask your brother to give New Year's money, don't be stingy." ”

"This sister is really boring, she hasn't married yet, she has begun to look at outsiders, and she has been hurting her for more than ten years, isn't it, Xiao Er." Zifu blinked at Zilu.

"But no, I'm not going to catch the field chicken next time, and I don't know who it is, so I will pull me pathetic all day and night and say, 'Second brother, I want to eat the field chicken.'" Zilu also learned from Ziqing's appearance and said coquettishly, Zilu, Zixi and Ziyu were all teasing on the side.

Lin Kangping grabbed Ziqing who was running, Ziqing was wearing a pink and flowered dress, and her face was like a peach blossom, and the neckline and cuffs were all white rabbit fur, which was very bright and moving, Lin Kangping took down the butterfly on her head and replaced it with a pair of peacock flowers with jade and gold edges, which were as thin as cicada wings, which were slightly larger and more gorgeous than the pair of butterflies.

The pair of butterflies originally wanted to be inserted into Ziyu's head, but Shen didn't let them. Said to Ziqing: "Qing'er, how can there be any relatives jewelry to give away?" Carefully Kangping knows that if he is angry, it is good for the child to wear a flower. Ziyu pouted when he heard this.

The family dressed up neatly and went to the old house to kowtow to the old man and Tian. Tian saw that the three of Shen's mother and daughter had rabbit fur on their padded jackets, but hers didn't, Shen knew her thoughts, and after thinking about it, he still distinguished a few words: "Mother." This is a New Year's gift from Kangping. At that time, I had already finished your clothes and sent them over, so I didn't sew your clothes. Now there is a little left, and Xia Yu used it, Ziqing made a new cotton skirt for her second aunt. said that in the old year, her second aunt's cotton jacket was leaking cotton wool, and Xia Yu would change it for her when she came tomorrow. ”

When Tian heard this, he had no choice but to give up. Hengzhi is for his daughter. Thinking about it like this, he changed his smiling face again, and saw Lin Kangping and Ziqing each standing in front of them in new silk clothes. It's really eye-catching, I have to say that Lin Kangping is still much stronger than Da Mao, no matter in terms of appearance, momentum, height, and of course, the most important financial resources, Da Mao is too bad, but Da Mao is innocent after all, and he has studied for several years. Thinking about it like this, Tian's heart was blocked again.

The Xiao family has all gathered together this year. After the 15th Lantern Festival, the old aunt will go to her second daughter's house to care for the elderly, and it will be difficult to see her again in the future. Ziqing took Lin Kangping to kowtow to the past, and wrapped a red envelope for the old lady, which contained five taels of broken silver, and the old lady touched the red envelope and was moved to tears. Before leaving, Ziqing told Peng that when Xiushui came back tomorrow, she must wait for Ziqing to find her.

Originally, Zeng Ruixiang didn't want to treat him on the second day of the first day of this year, but the actions of Chunyu's family had become a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't pull it out easily. Shen said: "You have passed that hurdle in my heart? In addition to Chunyu, aren't there also Xia Yu and Qiu Yu? It's been a habit for several years, if we don't invite this time, what do these two brothers-in-law think in their hearts? It's not good for our reputation to say it. There are only two meals left or right, and you tell your father and mother to invite two little brothers-in-law, and I want to see how she is going to come to my door this year? How much more can people be cheeky? Anyway, I'm not prepared to deal with her family. ”

Zeng Ruixiang had to nod when he heard this, and felt more and more grateful for Shen's good and rare, in the past few years at home, staying by Shen's side, tired of seeing his own family's behavior, they are still like this to him and Shen at home, thinking of the ten years since he left home, Shen and several children don't know how much they have been wronged, but rarely hear her complain, Zeng Ruixiang's heart for Shen has become a little hotter, and his heart for Tian and a few sisters has faded a little, and of course there is the big brother who has no sense of existence.

This year, because Lin Kangping is at home, the Shen family doesn't want Ziqing to stay at home, seeing Da Mao and them, in case Chunyu's family is really cheeky and comes to the door, according to her estimate, if it is not just in case, Chunyu's family will definitely take the opportunity to come to the door, and then I don't know how to get out? Shen asked Ziqing and Lin Kangping to follow them to Baitang Village to pay New Year's greetings, and Zixi and Ziyu were left at home to watch the house, and the study was naturally locked. Before leaving, Zifu and Ziqing explained to them several times and took care of their home. Nowadays, there are more and more valuable small items in the house.

The two uncles, Xu and Zhao, saw Lin Kangping for the first time, and prepared a meeting gift, and the red envelopes were all a silver bill, Kangping divided the pastries brought by the capital into two boxes, and the two uncles each had a piece of silk fabric. In addition to the satin fabric, add a small jade Ruyi to Grandma He.

He and several uncles and aunts saw that Lin Kangping was willing to come to the door to confess his relatives, indicating that the incident had passed, and they were also relieved, especially He, who also pulled Lin Kangping to wipe his tears for a long time. Originally, the two uncles also felt that Ziqing's marriage was set too hastily, and they were a little dissatisfied with Lin Kangping's identity. Seeing Lin Kangping's performance this time, looking at his appearance, height, and conversation, he can be regarded as having seen the world, at the dinner table, the more the elders investigated, the more satisfied they became, and the smiles on their faces became more and more, and Lin Kangping's background was ignored.

After the guests and hosts were happy, Ziqing and they returned home, the old man and they hadn't left yet, Chunyu's family really came, Ziqing looked at Lin Kangping worriedly, Lin Kangping gave her a reassuring look, Ziqing knew that he wouldn't mess around, how did he know that what people should do was already done.

When Chunyu saw Lin Kangping, a trace of jealousy and panic flashed in her eyes. It seems that there is still fear, and then I saw that Lin Kangping has been by Ziqing's side, wearing a new silk dress, Ziqing is still wearing a pink dress yesterday, and she has a new flower on her head, how do you look like a girl in the countryside. The two are really eye-catching together. Chunyu pondered this Ziqing's clothes and jewelry. It's probably enough for my family to eat for two years, and I don't regret it.

Ziqing ignored Chunyu's gestures, didn't find Da Mao Ermao, and didn't see Xia Yu. When I asked, I learned that Xia Yu didn't come, and said that she was going to entertain guests at home, and let everyone go over tomorrow Her new house was very lively. Warm house. Ziqing entered the house to prepare the gift for Xiao Xiushui, and just as she was about to go out, Zifu brought Xiushui in. Still holding a child.

As soon as Xiushui entered the door, he shouted: "Qingqing, I heard that you are looking for me, if you have any good things to honor me, hurry up and bring it, I brought my daughter to you for New Year's greetings, bring the red envelope." ”

Ziqing smiled and said, "I can tell you, I'm just her sister." It's not an elder, but there is no greeting gift. Everyone laughed.

Shen hurriedly wrapped a red envelope. Ziqing led her into her room to talk, asked about some household affairs, and then took out the pair of silk flowers she reserved for her, Ziqing knew that she loved stinky beauty, and gave her a gold ring with a jade ring and a pair of jade earrings. ”

Knowing that it was a gift from Lin Kangping, and after buying it from the capital, Xiushui didn't bother anymore, put on the pile of flowers in the mirror, put on the ring, changed the earrings, and then asked stinkily: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Ziqing saw that she was still so temperamental, and she felt a lot more relieved, and the two talked some gossip again, and she followed the old man when they were about to leave.

Ziqing saw that everyone had dispersed, so she remembered and asked Shen: "Mother, how did my aunt enter the house, why didn't you see Da Mao Ermao?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it, Da Mao knelt at the gate not long after you left, we don't know, and then there was a circle of people at the gate, Da Mao himself took the initiative to explain how he lost his hand that day, accidentally hit the plate, and damaged your reputation, and said with tears in his eyes, while talking and slapping himself, scolding himself for being a pig and a dog."

"I know, I know, sister, I learned Da Mao's words from you, and I listened to them for a long time." Zixi learned it with a smile.

It turned out that Da Mao was kneeling at the door, and there were many relatives in the village of Da Zhengyue, and when he saw that there were more onlookers, Da Mao opened his mouth and cried: "My second uncle has raised me for so many years, and let me study for several years, how can I harm my cousin?" I really didn't mean to, I just met my classmate Zhou Jixian, said a few more words, reached out to take my cousin's plate, I was a good heart, seeing her back and forth several times, I wanted to help her, but I didn't expect to lose my hand, and my cousin was damaged because of this, how to raise my head in the future? I was really a pig and a dog, I was only scared at the time, but I didn't know how to defend my cousin in time, I thought I was fooled like this. Now my uncle and aunt won't let me in the door, I know that I am really wrong, everyone next to each other, all of you are good, speak for me, all the fault is mine alone, it has nothing to do with my cousin, I really know that I am wrong... ”

"I'm lazy to listen, there are many people in the village who have talked about this, saying that they didn't expect the nephew of the Zeng family to be a white-eyed wolf, who has been raised for so many years and is not grateful, and he doesn't know how to remedy it in time, he is still a coward, and a few children who are studying in the school threw vegetable leaves at him, you don't know, but I'm embarrassed, I just raised my eyebrows today." Shen said with a smile.

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, my daughter's reputation has long been ruined, what's the use?" Ziqing was still a little discouraged when she thought of this, afraid that it would affect her child's growth in the future.

"Speaking of which, we really want to thank your cousins and aunts and your third mother-in-law, they have been helping you refute rumors, and they have quarreled with others for this. There are also many people who are studying in your father's school, grateful for your father's kindness, and also helped to speak, so this rumor has not spread again, which is a great luck in misfortune. That day, Li Zheng and the door-to-door marriage were in a different mind, exaggerating the words, and when he turned around, Li Zheng's son quarreled with his father, and Li Zheng himself came forward to settle the matter, saying that your father is an innocent talent, and he opened this school for the sake of the children in a village, and several children in the family are also innocent people, so many years everyone has seen it, and no one in the village is allowed to mention this matter in the future, but it will slowly subside. ”

"Then how did my aunt get in?" Ziqing asked.

"Later, your aunt and your grandfather came together, your father didn't let them enter the door, and your grandfather kept persuading, saying that they knew that they were wrong, they were all the blood of the family, and the broken bones were still connected to the tendons, how could they say that if they didn't come and go, they wouldn't come and go, not to mention that Da Mao had been kneeling for a long time, and the people in the village knew what was going on, so the big thing turned small. I didn't care about these, but it was the New Year, and Da Mao didn't look good when he knelt at the door of our house for a long time, what can I do? If you don't let you in, your aunt will also kneel down, but the people in the village are still watching, and they will be aggrieved when they talk about this, what is the matter? ”

"I also know why Da Mao left early today, listening to what Ermao said, Da Mao was beaten by someone a year ago, his body was still bruised and purple, and he still hummed in pain when he slept, he deserved it, and his finger was chopped off." Zixi said with a grin.

"It's strange to say this, your aunt still thinks it's Da Mao who we are looking for someone to fight, complaining that we are too ruthless, your father pouted her back at the time, we have to start early, and we can wait until a few months later, ask Da Mao if it will be clear, but Da Mao, the child does not say whether he lives or dies, only that he does not know. Amitabha, finally the present world is retribution. After Shen finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, a few years ago, wasn't it the few days when Lin Kangping came back? Shen glanced at Lin Kangping meaningfully.

Ziqing also suddenly remembered that day after talking to Lin Kangping about Da Mao, Lin Kangping did go out for a long time, and, at that time, Zifu kept looking outside, and when he came back, Ziqing saw that Lin Kangping's feet were full of mud and water, thinking of this, Ziqing also looked at Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping smiled: "What are you all looking at me for?" If Ziqing hadn't stopped him, wouldn't I have beaten him? Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for my father, as long as he keeps to himself in the future and doesn't provoke Qing'er again, I will spare him, otherwise, I really have to practice his skills. ”

Ziqing listened to the meaning of his words, and he still went to teach Da Mao a lesson, and Shen also understood, smiled, and said happily: "Don't say this outside, don't leave trouble for yourself." ”

Thinking that he would go to Qiaocun the next day, the Shen family asked everyone to rest earlier, because Xia Yu ordered Ziqing and Lin Kangping to go over, and the Shen family had to let Ziqing go out, where could he think that Ziqing would be injured again. (To be continued)
