Bai Shengfang saw that Zhu Youning replied obediently, and he really understood the meaning of his words, so he also curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

The atmosphere eased suddenly, and Bai Shengfang looked around in the courtyard.

"Your yard isn't bad."

Zhu Youning followed Bai Shengfang's side and said with a smile: "My father is reluctant to let my mother suffer, so naturally everything must be prepared completely." ”

Bai Shengfang was very satisfied with this, and glanced at Zhu Huating approvingly.

Zhu Huating whispered to his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and invited Bai Shengfang to have tea together.

Although Bai Shengfang was not enthusiastic about Zhu Huating, he was not as cold as before.

After dinner, Bai Shengfang called Bai to the door to speak before saying goodbye.

"Everything is in order at home, and you can rest assured as a brother. I think that although Zhu Zichen was confused and did the wrong thing for a while, he is not a bad person, and he is sincere to you. Now that you're pregnant, and you can't let him go, then stay and live a good life. ”

The Bai family is actually still a little afraid of Bai Shengfang, the eldest brother, but this incident also made her recognize the people in the family clearly, and she is also very grateful to Bai Shengfang.

"Big brother, I know, thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, my sister may have died. ”

Bai Shengfang waved his hand, "My own brothers and sisters, you don't have to be like this. But Fu Ya'er, you still have to be disciplined. This child is smart and decisive, and if she were an adult, I would only admire her, but she is only a child after all.

"A seven-year-old child can now have the ruthlessness that none of you parents have, and I'm afraid she'll grow crooked in the future. You are a mother, don't always focus on your husband, but also think about persuasion, change her temperament, and collect her anger. ”

Bai Shi was trained by Bai Shengfang and nodded again and again: "What the eldest brother said is true." My sister will definitely be disciplined. ”

"Hmm." Bai Shengfang answered, turned his back to the main house, took out a money bag from his sleeve and stuffed it to Bai, "You put these away yourself." ”

And there were twenty taels of silver in the purse.

Bai Shi hurriedly refused: "Big brother, I don't want it." ”

"Take it. Knowing that Zhu Zichen's character is not bad, and you are desperate to live with him, and you are pregnant, then you can't be sloppy. I don't think their father and daughter will treat you badly, you hide this money as your own person. ”

Bai Shengfang finished explaining expressionlessly, and without giving Bai time to refuse, he strode out of the door.

Bai's eyes wet movingly, and sent Bai Shengfang out all the way.

Under the corridor, Zhu Youning pulled his father's sleeve and looked up at him, and said in a teasing whisper: "Daddy, is it possible that he is a little afraid of his uncle?" ”

"Where, I respect your uncle. Besides, my father did have some shortcomings, so that your mother was wronged, your uncle is a brother, how can you not be angry with me? ”

Zhu Youning pulled Zhu Huating down the steps: "Dad go pick up my mother, talk to my mother, I will cry in the afternoon, Dad will help me make up a few words." ”

Zhu Huating followed his daughter's strength and walked a few steps to the gate of the courtyard, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Youning tilting his head, blinking at him with big round and hairy eyes, and smiling very naughtily.

Zhu Huating's face was feverish when he was stared at by his daughter, and he pointed at her with his finger in the air, and then went to the gate of the courtyard to pick up Bai's.

Zhu Youning went back to his room.

In fact, her feelings for the Bai family exist in her memory, because since she came to ancient times, she has been dependent on Zhu Huating, and her mother-daughter relationship with the Bai family is weaker, and she has more expectations.

It's just that today, after the Bai family was treated like that, she could still open her mouth to accuse, which made her a little unhappy.

It can't be said that Bai's is wrong.

It can only be said that she, an outsider, may not have such deep feelings for her original family, so she will be ruthless in doing things.

She cherishes the affection of her parents that is easy to have, thinking about her words and deeds today, whether it caused the Bai family to cry, so she thought that Ming'er would get up and apologize to the Bai family.

Who would have thought that the next day, the Bai family first pulled her in his arms and coaxed her, "Nannan, my mother doesn't know that your father and daughter have gone through so much these days, and it is your mother who blames you." ”

Zhu Youning was very surprised, and when he looked back, he saw Zhu Huating winking at him, and he understood everything.

"Mother, it's me who is too extreme. Mother, don't be angry with me. ”

"Where can it be, she is so sensible and capable, and others can't ask for it."

Bai hugged his delicate and soft daughter for a long time, and then called the servant woman in the family to reacquaint himself and start the New Year.

On the day of the twenty-third ancestor worship, I heard the Zhu family's house not far away early in the morning.

Every year to worship the ancestors, Mrs. Zhu will take the outstanding talents of her family to the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestors and pray for a smooth and prosperous year.

Zhu Huating is naturally among them. It's just that he's been out of that qualification since last year.

Zhu Youning and Bai were worried that Zhu Huating would be sad, but they didn't expect Zhu Huating to care, so they went to the miscellaneous courtyard early in the morning to help.

Bai was very worried, and ordered the mandarin duck to quietly go to the courtyard to have a look.

After half an hour, the mandarin duck smiled back and forth: "Madam, the master is helping the neighbors write Spring Festival couplets in the courtyard, and the people around him respect the master." The slave and maid watched from a distance, and the old man smiled happily. ”

Zhu Youning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, took Bai's hand and smiled: "Mother isn't worried now, right?" My dad is a man of great wisdom, but not so fragile. ”

"Yes, yes, as far as you know, talk to your father." Bai happily hugged Zhu Youning and kissed him several times.

The New Year is approaching, and everything is ready to go step by step.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family prepared a table of auspicious dishes, Ruyi vegetables, longevity fruit is not lacking, lotus root slices, rhombic meat means rich, fish round meat means reunion, silver wrapped in gold silk, plus sesame rice cakes, and boiled sugar-wrapped dumplings, the picture is year after year, sweet and sweet, reunion.

The family of three sat down to eat, and there were servants and maidservants who did not go home to serve.

Bai Shi smiled and said: "Today's New Year, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare good wine and food, everyone has worked hard for this time, and they are so happy, tonight I don't need you to be on an errand, we all go to eat at the bar." ”

The people all bowed and went away rejoicing.

However, Zhu Youning's mother Cui and the mandarin duck who were called by the Bai family refused to leave, even with the thrush, lark and nightingale.

Zhu Youning looked at his parents who were smiling in the warm candlelight, and looked at the table full of delicacies, his heart was warm and full.

She is no longer the orphan who is afraid of being alone for the New Year, now she has a home and someone to protect.

In the past, I fought for breath and for my own survival.

But now Zhu Youning has a strong sense of belonging, no longer a mechanical resistance, but really wants to work hard for himself and his family.

Outside the window, there was the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of fireworks bursting into the sky, and then I heard a knock on the courtyard door.
