Chi Hang was not wearing a thick body, but because he was wearing the new clothes that Lin Guyu had made for him, he felt extraordinarily warm.
"Big brother, come in and talk about something." Chi Hang said, slightly conceded, and then said, "It's weird cold outside." โ
Chishu wore it very thickly, and when the wind blew, his whole body seemed to be blown through, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Okay then." Chi Shu followed Chi Hang in.
When he entered, he saw Lin Guyu chopping stuffing.
"Big brother, sit down." Lin Guyu said hello with a smile, pointed to the bench on the side, and said.
Chishu nodded in response, and then sat down.
It's really warm inside the house, and it's completely two temperatures from outside.
Chi Hang naturally took off his coat and put it directly on the shelf on the side.
Chishu then noticed that the family of three didn't wear much clothes at all.
The room seemed to be extremely hot, and Chi Shu couldn't help but push his sleeve slightly to his arm, "Isn't it the time for our sacrifice, our mother said, let us brothers pay for this year's sacrifice." โ
"These are as they should be." Chi Hang nodded, chopping the radishes.
Seeing that their stuffing was all meat, Chi Shu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "But the specific money, my mother hasn't said yet, I just want to come and tell you first." โ
"Got it." Chi Hang said expressionlessly.
Sent away Chi Shu, before Chi Hang had time to close the door, Chi Tao stood at the door, looking at Chi Hang with a smile.
Although Chi Tao still lives on Chi's side, Chi Tao rarely comes here.
"Third brother." Chi Tao leaned against the door, smiled, his face was full of folds, reached out and touched Chi Hang's clothes, and said with a smile, "The clothes are good, my brother and sister made them?" โ
"The second brother can also ask the second sister-in-law to do it for you." Chi Hang said with a smile, and when he was about to close the door, Chi Tao stretched out his hand to stop him.
Chi Tao leaned into Chi Hang's ear and said mysteriously, "Mother said, this ancestor worship let the three of us brothers take money to buy things together." โ
Is there something wrong?
Looking at Chi Tao like this, although Chi Hang felt strange, he didn't show it on his face, "I've heard what my eldest brother said." โ
"I'm telling you, it's a lie!" Chi Tao frowned, clapped his hands angrily, and said angrily, "You don't know what our mother thinks, if it weren't for your second brother thinking that our two brothers were separated, I wouldn't tell you." โ
Chi Hang responded lightly and did not speak.
"I overheard it that day, our mother said, let the two of us pay, big brother they don't have to come out." Chi Tao leaned into Chi Hang's ear, muttered quietly, and reached out to pat Chi Hang's shoulder, "What are you going to do?" โ
It's just ancestor worship, why are there so many troublesome things.
Chi Hang thought about it and didn't say anything.
"Or," Chi Tao leaned into Chi Hang's ear and whispered, "Let's just let the eldest brother come out alone, the eldest brother is considered his own family, and these things should have been done by himself." โ
This time, Chi Hang heard some reason, and dared to love the second brother who didn't want to pay for it, so he asked him to partner in bullying the eldest brother.
Inexplicably remembering what Lin Guyu said that day, Chi Hang's brows frowned slightly, and he said with some reluctance, "This is not good, after all, the eldest brother is our brother." โ
Hearing Chi Hang say this, Chi Tao said with a smile, "Still, it wasn't that he and his sister-in-law were crying and shouting to split up, the family was originally good, and even the matter of your separation was also said by our eldest brother." โ
When can you deceive people, that is, half-truths and half-truths.
When Chi Tao said this, he obviously pushed everything onto Chi Shu.
However, in Chi Hang's opinion, only he, the second brother, can do that thing.
Chi Hang didn't say much, politely sent Chi Tao away, and then returned to the room.
As soon as the door was opened, the cold air outside invaded, and Chi Hang hurriedly closed the door.
"Why did it take so long to come back?" Lin Guyu chopped the stuffing and asked casually.
"I just met the second brother, and he said that he wanted me not to give money to the eldest brother, and said that the eldest brother didn't want to pay, so he only asked me and him to pay." Chi Hang sighed helplessly, "I look at this year's New Year, the second brother may have to find trouble with the eldest brother." โ
Lin Guyu then busied himself with the work in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Chi Hang, and said with a smile, "As long as it doesn't involve us, we don't ask anything, just follow them to toss." โ
Chi Hang also thought so, he felt that it would be okay to live directly near the Lin family in the future, and he didn't feel like living here at all.
This idea has not yet been discussed with Lin Guyu.
Chopping stuffing, steaming steamed buns, Lin Guyu put all these things at the door, and the things saved will be broken.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Chi Tao called Chi Hang and his family of three early.
The three of them were tightly wrapped, and because they were going to sacrifice, all of them wore plain clothes on this day to show respect for their ancestors.
The three of them stood aside, and even Chi Ye came back on this day and stood with them.
Zhou stood at the front, glanced at the people below, and coughed, "Today, let's hold a sacrifice to the ancestors, we can't laugh today, don't make the ancestors angry in vain, our Chi family will pay three taels of silver for the sacrifice." โ
Here's the point.
Lin Guyu cheered up and listened carefully to what Zhou said.
"These three taels of silver, I want to send some money and things to the ancestors underground, and in previous years, it was also three taels of silver." Zhou said, his eyes fell on the boss Chi Shu, "You go over now, and directly collect all the money." โ
Hearing what Zhou said, Chi Shu nodded and walked in front of Chi Hang.
Chi Hang has always been very cooperative with Chi Shu, and handed over one or two pieces of silver.
When Chi Shu walked in front of Chi Tao, he saw Chi Tao standing there with a smile.
"Mother, I don't think it's fair." Chi Tao said angrily, "Big brother has so much silver in his hand, why do you want me to give it out, my daughter-in-law and I are guarding that silver to live." โ
"Who's not guarding the money to live, the money should be handed over, what do you mean by this?" Chi Shu frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "Or, do you think we took more of your money?" โ
"I didn't say that." Chi Tao said, walked to the side, and looked at Chi Shu with a smile, "Big brother, we really don't have any money, so we still bother my big brother to put my money on the front,"
Hearing Chi Tao say this, Chi Shu's brows furrowed even tighter.
Chi Shu's heart is also very disgusted with Chi Tao, but he has no choice, they are a family, even if they are separated, when it is important, they still discuss things together, who makes them brothers.
When Zhou wanted to come down and talk about Chi Tao, he saw Fang's hands supporting his waist, dragging his tired body, "Mother, I don't think I can worship my ancestors, although I really want to go." โ
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou said angrily, pointing at Fang's nose, "Do you think you are still a daughter, and your body is like this!" โ
"I'm pregnant." Fang raised his eyes and looked at Zhou, looking pitiful, "Mother, isn't it good for me to worship my ancestors like this?" โ
As he spoke, Fang reached out and held Chi Tao's hand, held his hand and covered his lips tightly, and said softly, "I'm a little nauseous, dizzy, I went to the town with my husband to see the doctor, and the doctor said that I had better stay in bed like this, so that it won't be so uncomfortable." โ
"I also have to find a reliable person around me to take care of me, otherwise if something happens, I don't know what to do." Fang walked to Zhou's side with a smile, played with Zhou's arm with a smile, and said softly, "Mother, can Xianggong and I not go, this is still the first child of the two of us!" โ
Zhou's eyes fell on Fang's stomach, and then he said, "Okay, go back and rest, you two don't have to go." โ
As soon as Zhou's words fell, Chi Tao directly helped Fang and left.
"Mother, they haven't ...... yet" Chi Shu looked at Zhou a little anxiously, and said that one person would have one or two silvers, and now that Chi Tao is gone, who will pay for the one or two silvers?
"The second family's happy event this year, this money will be out of their family, you two, one person will add half a tael of silver." Zhou opened his mouth casually, his eyes rolling on Chi Hang and Chi Shu's bodies.
Hearing what Zhou said, Chi Hang inexplicably thought of what Chi Tao said that day, and frowned slightly.
"There is no silver." Chi Hang hugged the bean paste in his arms and said calmly.
Zhou was about to get angry, thinking that he was going to worship his ancestors today, his brows were frowning, and he didn't speak.
Chi Shu looked at Zhou's appearance, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.
The process of worshipping ancestors is very simple, that is, to give the ancestors a lot of money.
came back in the morning, Chi Hang and Lin Guyu came back, and Lin Guyu hurriedly boiled water for everyone to wash their hands.
As soon as he was done, Lin Guyu heard a noisy sound from the big house.
Chi Hang frowned slightly when he heard the voice over there, and looked at Lin Guyu in wonder, "What's wrong?" โ
"I don't know." Lin Guyu said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be for the one or two pieces of silver, after all, my mother-in-law has a lot of money in her hands." โ
"Let's get ready to eat." Lin Guyu said, washed his hands and went to prepare.
When the meal was ready, Lin Guyu said to Chi Hang, "Go and call the fourth brother over for dinner." โ
Chi Ye has been eating with them for the past few days.
Chi Hang answered, and then walked outside.
Originally, the two of them wanted Chi Ye to come over to warm the book, after all, it was too cold over there, but Chi Ye didn't want to.
As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew, and Chi Hang tightened his clothes.
As soon as he walked to the gate of Chi's house, Chi Hang listened to his sister-in-law scolding with his second sister-in-law, but he didn't see Zhou's figure.
Chi Hang tried his best to treat himself as a transparent person, walked to Chi Ye's yard, called Chi Ye and left.
"You're still not human, give us back our money! I'll tell you......" Song pointed at Fang's nose and scolded angrily.
