Chapter 240, Shurui's first birthday
Lin Kangping said: "I haven't talked about these details with my cousin, I just mentioned to him about Tikangzhuang, he happened to be on vacation today, so he came to see our Zhuangzi." [.] Why don't you go to the stove room and tell me to leave my cousin for a meal, and my cousin and I will talk about the specific details. ”
Ziqing agreed to go. Coming out of the study, Shen Xinfu looked happy, presumably the two communicated well, Ziqing just asked, and specially ordered Xiaoqing to invite the He family and them over.
Shen Xinfu hurriedly said: "How can there be an old man who comes to see me first?" I should have gone over and said hello first. After speaking, he hurriedly followed Xiaoqing.
Ziqing is emotional, or the people of the Shen family understand etiquette, I remember that last time Shen Baofu was here, he also personally invited the He family, whether this family is good or not, it can be reflected everywhere, in terms of the education method of the old man and the Tian family, Zeng Ruixiang can have today, thanks to the old grandmother.
When Shen Xinfu left, he agreed to quit a month in advance when he went back, and he would come to work in the first month of next year at the earliest, and He told him a lot of words.
In the evening, Lin Kangping and Ziqing went to the kang, Ziqing asked about Shen Xinfulai, Lin Kangping said: "At first, I thought I was worried that we wouldn't be able to give him such a high salary, but I didn't expect him to really think about our family, and pointed out some things on the accounts, so that I could do it myself, and I could save a family, and then I said, Kangzhuang has to do big, I have to go out for two months every year, I don't want you to be too tired, as soon as I heard this, I promised him a house, with his wife and children, and he accepted it, but said, The salary is the same as before, after all, there is still a house. Let him save a share of the rent. As soon as I heard him say this, it was a rare thing. ”
"That's fine, I'm just afraid that when he comes, my sister-in-law will know, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed, I came to me that day, I didn't promise her." Ziqing said.
"Rest assured. There's me. If she says anything, she will push it on me, and we will be enough to take care of her family all these years. By the way, what did my mother tell you just now? After talking for a long time, I think you seem to be very happy. ”
"Huh? Oh, I thought I'd tell you. My mother went to Anzhou City to see my second sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law's father and mother went back to Chen Village, which is the maiden home of the woman who married Sanmao, I heard that someone deliberately told the woman's brother that he went to the field to catch the rape and poked it out. It's a big deal that it's better to lose both than for their family to suffer alone, I laughed when I heard it, you say, it seems that some people can't get along with them. This time, the osmanthus has to be delayed again, you say, why doesn't my aunt know how to learn a lesson? ”
"Your aunt is like that, endlessly, don't point to her to change it herself. I can only come to the hard, I didn't look at Da Mao once and he was completely honest, I look at it this time, but he is completely ruined, I'm afraid that I'm busy asking if there is a suitable person, I want to see, they can still have leisure to talk to us? Lin Kangping said.
It's a pity that Ziqing didn't think deeply about his words.
The days entered the wax moon in a flash, the oranges, down jackets and sweaters at home were sent away, the Wen family also took away two thousand catties of lotus roots, Qingyuan began to prepare for the New Year, bacon, ham, chicken, duck or something was prepared in November, it was sent by Kangzhuang and Orange Garden. Pockmarks (a kind of rice cake, can be fried or steamed, done in the water, can be put in the water for more than a month every day), glutinous rice cakes, orchid roots, magnolia slices, peanut candy, sesame sugar, fried melon seeds, these are all Ziqing watched Shen do when she was a child, last year it was packed from her mother's house, this year Ziqing said that she should try it herself, so that she can fully enjoy the fun of the New Year.
Shen didn't take it seriously when he heard it, it was still magnolia tablets that were sent over, and it turned out that this was going to be dried in November.
Since Laba, Ziqing has been busy preparing for a guest meal, first Zixi, Zixi has been home for the first time since he entered the Egret Academy, and this miss is different from Zilu and Zishou, and he shouted that he had lost weight and wanted to make up for it. [~] The day after Zixi went home, Zishou also entered the door, followed by Zilu's family, because Chen's family was going home to give birth, and packed a lot of things to go home, so it was two days later than Zishou, and finally Zifu's family, the door of the fourteenth month of Layue, Ziqing thought about it, and simply waited for the next day when Shurui was one year old and then invited his mother's family to gather, just when everyone was complete.
At this year's birthday banquet, Ziqing didn't plan to invite outsiders, so she gathered in a small area with her family, just to say something about the aftermath of the scene, who knew that the old man was partial to the birth of the Tian family and the Qiuyu family came over, and the Tian family also specially made a dress for Shurui, which was an unprecedented thing, Ziqing was a little suspicious of Tian's overture, but Tian didn't say anything.
When Shu Rui caught Zhou, Zifu sent a good wolf hair, Zilu sent a small sword, Zishou carved a small jade abacus by himself, and Zixi gave a small official seal made of gold, and threw a piece into the plate, but he didn't expect Shu Rui to grab the small official seal.
The old man smiled: "Zixi grabbed an official seal when he was young, but I didn't expect this kid to also catch an official seal today, is there still a big official in the family?" But this kid really looks a little like Zixi, I remember that Zixi will also be dressed in a new red dress, white and fat, more than ten years have passed in a flash, old, useless. ”
"Ah Gong, where is there really no truth that doesn't work, that is, it should be a scene and just have a good time, how can it be true? I only hope that the child can grow up happily and peacefully, and can support his family in the future, and Qing'er and I will be content. Lin Kangping said busily.
"But that's not the case, who can take it seriously? Dinner. Zeng Ruixiang said, but there was still some expectation in his heart, after all, Zifu and Zixi had fulfilled their catch of Zhou back then.
"I take it seriously, it's not that my nephew is like an uncle, Shu Rui is ready to follow me, sister, don't worry, Shu Rui will follow me in the future, I will definitely take him well." Zixi patted his chest and said with a proud face, Ziqing's position in Zixi's heart is no less than Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's, it will be the most difficult time in the family, Shen's is busy every day, Zixi is a little bit brought up by Ziqing, walking, talking, and reading are not taught by Ziqing?
"I didn't make a sound with your second brother and third brother, but you put gold on your face first, and it will be my turn first, I don't know if the elders and young are in order?" Zifu smiled and said that he bent down and smiled at Shu Rui: "Shu Rui, do you like your uncle?" Say, is the uncle good? ”
"Look at a few of you, your nephew can't speak yet, you guys hit it first, sister, I think you still have to have a few more sons, it's better to have one uncle, so that they don't have to rob it." Liu said with a smile.
Liu's eldest daughter, Yonglian, is three years old, and when she heard this, she hurriedly hugged Zifu's calf and shouted: "Daddy, didn't you say that Yonglian is the most well-behaved and likes Yonglian the most?" The little girl looked at Zifu with teary eyes, for fear that Zifu would say something else.
Yonglian hugged Zifu's calf, Yongsong also stepped forward a few steps, hugging Zilu's calf, everyone laughed gloatingly, Zishou smiled: "I knocked over two small vinegar jars, it's not easy to coax." ”
Zifu hurriedly hugged Yonglian and coaxed in a low voice: "Of course Daddy likes Yonglian the most, but the little brother is also Yonglian's younger brother, just like Yongrong, doesn't Yonglian like it?" Doesn't my aunt also like our little Yonglian? Have you forgotten about Yonglian? ”
Yonglian shook her head, looking at Rui aggrievedly with a pair of teary eyes, for fear that Shurui would come forward to snatch her father, everyone laughed again, Zixi hugged Xiao Shurui, and said, "Is it better to be a little uncle?" After that, I got mixed up with my uncle. ”
Because of the return of Zifu and others, it is rare for the family to get together, so Ziqing basically takes the child back to her parents' house after breakfast every day and returns in the evening. Xiaoqing and Xiaozi followed to help Liu's work in the stove room, Chen's belly was too big and he couldn't do anything, the stove room was basically Liu's chef, and Xiaozi could already help cook a lot of simple dishes.
The old man and the Tian family will occasionally come over, and Ziqing can also see that the old man still has some feelings for these grandsons, but this kind of relationship is a little strange to him, after all, he has been ignoring it for so many years, and it is impossible to change it suddenly. The grandchildren are promising, and his face is bright, but the rejection of him by the grandchildren makes him feel a little gloomy and a little sorry.
After all, Zifu is a few years older, and he can see the ambivalence of the old man, but he often pulls the old man to talk, and leaves them down for a meal, which makes Zeng Ruixiang feel very pleased, no matter what, it is his father, if nothing else is involved, Zeng Ruixiang is still willing to let his father and mother live a better life and spend his old age in peace.
After the New Year, both sides are busy preparing for the New Year, Ziqing has no time to pass, this day, fried peanuts and melon seeds, also fried some magnolia slices with sand, the rest is peanut candy and sesame candy and two, these two are fried with maltose to a certain temperature, then put the peanuts and sesame seeds into the stirred, and put it in a special wooden box after the pot, flatten it and cut it while it is hot.
It's easy to say and easy to look at, but it's not necessarily the case. Ziqing is really a little powerless to do it herself, the heat of maltose is not well controlled, Wang Pozi has never done these things, the Wen family has a special dim sum, and everyone's division of labor is different. Granny Wang, Xiaoqing, Xiaolan, Xiaohong, Xiaozi, etc. are all on the side, you and I are blindly commanding, but there are a lot of jokes, peanuts and sesame seeds can't stick together, and Ziqing has a face, or Xiaolan went to invite the Shen family, so he didn't waste everything.
On this day, Ziqing took Shurui to climb and play on the carpet, and Lin Kangping was checking the account on the kang table. Ziqing suddenly thought that she should get a children's room for the child and prepare some educational toys for the child, Ziqing walked to Lin Kangping's side to discuss the matter, and as she was talking, Shurui staggered over by herself, and called out the first sound: "Mother", Ziqing was a little unbelievable at first, teasing the child every day to call the mother, the child just didn't speak, Ziqing was busy for several days, forgot about this fork, but didn't expect the child to take the initiative to speak. And he came over by himself, Ziqing was so excited that she hugged the child and kissed wildly. Shurui also made Ziqing's face drool, and the mother and son had a lot of fun.
