In the east of the village, the old house of the Hua family is particularly lively today, except for Hua Panpan, who is still locked in the ancestral hall, everyone else is here. Including Hua Jizu and Hua Shanmin's two families. This time, the people were not in the hall, but gathered in the flowery room.

Hua Qi sat cross-legged on the big official hat chair, still holding the cigarette stick in his hand, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Wen, on the other hand, was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was awake or asleep. Because the mountain village is located in the southeast of Daqi, the climate is relatively warm, so it is generally used for beds. And the bed of the Hua family is actually a large bed carved by Nanmu, painted with black lacquer, which looks low-key and luxurious.

Even the village chief's family can't afford this bed, it is the dowry of the first lady of Qi, Knowles, and after Knowles left, this bed was taken by Wen's own. Hua Panpan once coveted this bed and wanted to go to her room, but was resolutely rejected by Wen's face, which made Hua Panpan sulk a lot, and complained a little more about Wen's mother.

Hua Shanmin's fat daughter-in-law Wang Chunhua had the same thoughts as Hua Panpan from the moment she entered the door of Hua's house, and she was full of ideas about this bed. But Wen loves Hua Panpan so much, he can't get it, let alone her. At this time, Wang Chunhua could only look at the carved bed where Wen was lying and was greedy!

And Hua Shanmin is a thief, although he is not good at gambling, but he loves to be greedy and cheap, and he has some skills, looking at the things in the house in his heart, he can calculate the value in his heart. Hua Shanmin looked at the box on the dresser, on which was a plum blossom hairpin. Hua Shanmin knew that Hua Panpan got it from Hua Qingyan, and let Hua Panpan give filial piety to the Wen family. The jade quality of the hairpin is white, the carving is exquisite, I am afraid that it is worth twenty taels or more! Hua Shanmin thought about it for a while and asked Wen for the hairpin, after all, his kid was also going to take a scientific examination, so he should be entangled!

Hua Jizu still looked gentle and elegant, sitting on the chair under Hua Qi's right hand, holding a teacup in his hand, twisting the lid of the cup and taking a sip, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. In the countryside, sugar is used to entertain distinguished guests, and even if there is tea, it is still tea powder, and the taste is jerky and bitter, so it is not delicious. Hua Jizu is a famous child in the neighborhood, and he likes to get together with some students on weekdays, chat, talk about poetry, and naturally he has drunk a lot of tea, so it is not necessarily very good, but it is much better than the Hua family.

Hua Jizu put down the cup after taking half a sip, looked at Hua Qi with a smile and asked, "Dad, you came to us, what is the important matter?" ”

Hua Qi knocked on the table with a cigarette stick, and said in a deep voice: "You know enough about what the village chief mentioned today. The cauliflower was thought up by Hua Qingyan, and if she wants to buy it now, she must have found a good home. Moreover, there are also carriages in and out of the courtyard in the north of the village, so I don't think this business will suffer a loss. When Hua Qi said this, he stopped talking and looked at Hua Jizu.

Hua Qi's words were actually not finished, but he felt that the words behind him were difficult to speak. His original intention was to let a few people think of a way to let Hua Qingyan hand over the business to the Hua family. But at this time, Hua Qingyan has broken away from the Hua family, and she has made trouble like that before, and it must not be easy to want Hua Qingyan to give up her business.

Hua Jizu's eyes flashed, of course he knew what cauliflower was, he had heard a lot in the town these days, and Guanlanju had launched a new dish, which was very popular, and robbed all the business of Yanfu Building! This flower bulb is one of them. A squire friend of Hua Jizu specially invited these children to eat it once, and the taste was indeed amazing!

Hua Jizu never expected that this cauliflower was actually made by Hua Qingyan, not only purchased in the village, but even recruited the villagers to plant it with great fanfare. Thinking about the popularity of the dried cauliflower, Hua Jizu guessed that Hua Qingyan had made a lot of money!

A poor girl who has just been separated from her elders, with only one room and two acres of land, actually has such a ability? Hua Jizu definitely didn't believe it, Hua Qingyan didn't hide it before! Perhaps, she knew these things early on, but she didn't say them.

"That carriage looks good!" Wang Chunhua exclaimed, her eyes full of envy, "That flower has some colors, presumably this family is seduced by her body!" He spat disdainfully.

"Brother and sister, don't make presumptuous assertions." The woman who had been standing silently behind Hua Jizu finally spoke, her voice was soft, and it sounded like a spring breeze, even if it was such righteous words, it didn't have much deterrent power. This is Hua Jizu's wife, Yuan Ru.

Although Yuan Ru is also from a small family, the conditions are much better than those of the Hua family. Yuan Ru's father opened a bookstore in the town, selling hand-copied books from scholars on weekdays, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which can be regarded as wealthy. Yuan Ru's father prides himself on being a scholarly family, so he trained Yuan Ru to read and read since he was a child, and also taught calligraphy and painting.

Compared with Yuan Ru, Wang Chunhua is simply a toad!

Wang Chunhua watched Yuan Ru open her mouth and swallow those more ugly words into her stomach. In the Hua family, although Wang Chunhua was bold and reckless, she did not dare to tease the tiger whiskers of Wen and Yuan Ru. I'm afraid that Wen's can still explain it, after all, it's a mother-in-law, but I'm afraid of Yuan Ru, and even Wang Chunhua herself doesn't know the reason.

"Shall we plant the cauliflower or not?" Hua Shanmin asked suddenly, his face full of reluctance. He is a person who wants to be a talented master in the future, how can he do such a shameful thing as farming! "I don't want to plant that kind of ghost cauliflower bulbs, whoever wants to plant it, who will plant it!"

"I didn't let you plant!" Hua Qi slammed the table, stared at Hua Shanmin with wide eyes, looked at his dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and couldn't help but scold: "You useless thing!" Why don't you learn from your big brother! Back then, when you were asked to study and sent to a private school, you went to cockfighting, what else would you do besides playing! ”

Hua Shanmin seemed to be accustomed to Hua Qi's tone, and his expression was still noncommittal. However, when it was mentioned that it was not as good as Hua Jizu, the corners of his mouth were deflated, and he looked slightly disdainful and resentful.

Seeing that the topic had deviated, Hua Jizu couldn't help but speak: "Dad, let's talk about the business first." ”

At this time, Huaxi, who was standing silently in the corner, raised his head, looked at the people in the room, pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, Liu Gongzi has been worrying about this matter recently. Guanlanju couldn't compete for Yanfulou before, but as soon as this new dish came out, all the business was robbed by Guanlanju. Hua Xi paused, seeing that no one interrupted her, even Hua Qi's eyes were on herself, and after thinking about it, she continued, "If this new dish is really Hua Qingyan's idea, why don't we let Hua Qingyan take out the recipe and give it to grandpa, and she will do her filial piety." Then, let's sell the recipe to Yanfulou, so that we will have silver and win the favor of Liu Gongzi. And Liu Gongzi even loves Xi'er. ”

This Liu Gongzi is the one who met Huaxi by the river last time, his surname is Liu Yingfeng, and it has a lot to do with the banquet Fulou. The people of the Hua family agreed that Huaxi would associate with him, that is, they fell in love with this relationship.

Sure enough, hearing Hua Xi say this, the eyes of the Hua family can be said to be all lit up.

Hua Yang grabbed Hua Xi's arm and asked excitedly, "Sister, what you said is true?" Really, as long as you get that recipe, then Liu Gongzi will marry you and enter the door? Let you be the young grandmother of the Liu family? ”

Huaxi's face turned red in an instant, and she was about to drip blood. But Hua Yang asked urgently, and not only him, almost everyone waited for her answer with blazing eyes. Huaxi had no choice but to purse her lips and nodded.

Although this degree is small, it is enough for people to see clearly, Hua Shanmin was so happy that he almost jumped up, and even Hua Jizu's face was full of smiles. The Liu family in this town, he is more familiar than the rest of the Hua family.

This Liu family was originally not from Chaoyang Town, it was moved from nowhere ten years ago, I heard that it was a provincial capital, and I heard that it was Yongjing, in short, there was no exact address. After the Liu family came to Chaoyang Town, they opened the Banquet Building, and it quickly developed into the largest restaurant in Chaoyang Town. This Liu family in Chaoyang Town is not comparable to Zhao Yuanwai's family, who wanted to buy a child daughter-in-law to accompany their grandchildren to bury them. Hua Jizu also heard that the Liu family and the county master are relatives, and no one in Chaoyang Town dares to offend the Liu family!

If the Hua family can establish a relationship with the Liu family, then his future career will definitely be smooth sailing!

Thinking of this, Hua Jizu is bound to get what is in Hua Qingyan's hands!

Even Hua Qi can't help but imagine the future of the Hua family, as long as Huaxi and Liu Gongzi get married, then the Hua family will become the Liu family's in-laws, and the Hua family will be superior in this mountain village, and even in Chaoyang Town, so there is no need to look at the faces of Li Zheng and that Hu Langzhong! As soon as Hua Qi thought of everything that happened in the courtyard of the Hu family, his eyes became gloomy, and he Hua Qi had never been insulted like this except for the incident of the Knowles more than twenty years ago! It's a shame!

Hua Qi's heart, which was still a little hesitant, instantly became firm!

"Let's think about it, how do we do it?" Hua Qi looked at Hua Jizu, in his heart, this eldest son was the smartest and most reliable.

"What else do you have to think? Go directly to that Hua Qingyan and ask for it! Wang Chunhua said, "Even if you set up your own door, you are still a member of the Hua family!" It's hard for her father to ask her granddaughter for something, and she can't give it! If you don't give, you're not filial! ”

Wang Chunhua's words reached Hua Qi's heart, but Hua Qi did not agree with this, after all, Hua Qingyan had already set up her own door, and the grievances between Hua Panpan and Hua Qingyan were even more well known, if Hua Qingyan told this matter and exaggerated the facts, those villagers could really stand on Hua Qingyan's side and denounce their Hua family, and the Hua family would not be able to gain a foothold in the backing village in the future!

Hua Jizu shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Our relationship with Hua Qingyan is stiff enough now, for the sake of future interests, we must not make trouble with Hua Qingyan." What we have to do now is to improve the relationship with Hua Qingyan and make up for the share of life between us. ”

"How do you make up for that?" Hua Shanmin asked eagerly.

Hua Jizu thought for a while and didn't answer, but turned his head to look at his wife Yuan Ru: "Lady, what do you think?" ”

Hua Jizu doesn't look like a well-dressed beast, but he takes care of and respects this wife who is not easy to marry, and helps him a lot, and the husband and wife have respected each other for so many years, it is really worthy of love and love, and those ladies in the mountain village all envy Yuan Ru for marrying a good father-in-law!

Yuan Ru smiled lightly, stepped forward and saluted Hua Qi before saying, "It's better to let Qing Yan go back to Hua's house." ”

"What does that mean?" Hua Qi asked.

"Qing Yan is originally a member of the Hua family, but because the second brother is not on the genealogy, we might as well return to the Hua family as a condition in exchange for the recipe in Qing Yan's hands. The second brother has gone, and when he died, he asked Qing Yan to return to the mountain village, he must still miss the Hua family, in order to fulfill the second brother's last wish, Qing Yan may agree. Yuan Ru smiled gently, and her face was completely calm.

However, Yuan Ru's idea is much more clever than Wang Chunhua's hard robbery, Hua Yaozong is already a dead man, and it doesn't matter if he is on the family tree or not. But writing Hua Yaozong on the family tree is equivalent to tying his daughter Hua Qingyan to the Hua family, think about what Hua Qingyan has in her hands, it is a lot of wealth! How can such a simple and beneficial way not be exciting!

"Good! Just do it! Hua Qi didn't hesitate at all, and made a decision directly.

But this decision was strongly opposed by Wen's! Wen, who was still lying half-dead on the bed, immediately sat up when he heard this, glared at Hua Qi fiercely and shouted, "No, I don't agree!" I absolutely don't agree with that cheap girl entering the door of the flower house! ”

Everyone was frightened enough by the Wen family who suddenly spoke out, and Hua Shanmin couldn't help but complain: "Mother, this method is so good, why don't you agree?" You must know that the girl has a lot of wealth in her hands, and when we get it, Xi'er will marry the Liu family, won't the glory and wealth come! Mother, you have to think long-term! ”

Hua Yang also followed to help: "Grandma, many people in the family are going to take scientific research now, and this travel fee is a big expense, aren't you worried about this a few days ago, besides, our family hasn't had a good meal for a long time, and it's time to improve the food!" It's just to add a few names to the family tree, and grandma will treat them as if they don't exist! When the matter is done, let Hua Qingyan come to the old mansion, grandma, you can't see it! ”

Hua Qingyan's return to the Hua family is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous, but the rest of the Hua family is easy to say, Wen just refuses to let go, staring at the futon with drooping eyelids and not knowing what to think. After a long time, Wen spoke, "I don't agree, if this Hua family has me, there will be no Hua Yaozong family!" If you want to write Hua Yaozong on the family tree, then cross out my mother-in-law! ”

Wen's stubbornness made everyone helpless and a little puzzled. Wen is the stepmother of Hua Jizu and Hua Yaozong, but not long after Wen entered the door, Hua Yaozong left, and he didn't hear of any grudges between the two. If it is said that the Wen family is afraid that he has gone to the Knowles, then Hua Jizu's side does not make sense, because although the Wen family does not care and love Hua Jizu as much as Hua Shanmin and Hua Panpan, he also does not ignore and abuse.

Everyone who has no problem with the Wen family set their eyes on the head of the Hua family, and they also hope that he can give a good idea.

Hua Qi glanced at Wen with half-closed eyes, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Just do what Yuan Ru said!" Invite Hua Qingyan to come to the door for a meal another day, talk about the matter, don't mention the matter of Fang Zi first, and tactfully probe her tone. As for your mother's side, don't worry about it, the people on this flower family tree are still in charge of me! ”
