In previous years, Wen Shuo was the fifth or sixth day of the new year to visit the Huang family.

This year is the fourth year of the Lunar New Year.

Only then did he know that the rule of the Huang family was to return to the door on the fourth day of the first month, that is, the married daughters had to return to their parents' homes on this day.

Therefore, on the fourth day of the first lunar month every year, almost all the people of the Huang family arrive.

And Wen Shuo was invited to the Huang family to pay New Year's greetings on the fourth day of junior high school, which also represents from another level that the entire Huang family has fully recognized his identity as the aunt of the Huang family - he and Huang Qinzhi have both graduated from college, and their careers are also doing well, and they can get married at any time.

In the dining room on the first floor of the villa, a large round table that can seat more than a dozen people has been replaced, and in the large living room, the coffee table has been temporarily moved away and two relatively small dining tables are placed, and in the east and west wings of the mansion, six large tables have also been arranged.

There are more than 200 people, young and old, as well as cooks and service personnel who are specially responsible for family gatherings......

Wen Shuo entered the house and watched the lively scene, even though he knew that the Huang family was prosperous, and knew that the Huang family was powerful and rich, but it was the first time he saw such a lively scene when the Huang family gathered.

Okay!

On the branch of Scutellaria baicalensis alone, there are more than 100 people who have spread their leaves!

Now the youngest in the third generation is 23 years old, and the eldest children in the fourth generation are about to graduate from high school.

The feast is about to begin.

There was no need for anyone to remind him, the fat man, who quickly observed the current situation at home, whispered to Su Sheng: "Uncle Su, I have to go and kowtow to my grandmother first, where should her old man be now?"

"You should be resting in the study, you can go. Su Sheng stopped at the door of the villa.

"Okay, then I'll go in first. Wen Shuo said politely.

Su Sheng nodded.

Wen Shuo went in and bypassed the entrance, and saw six or seven people sitting in the living room, chatting about something, everyone's eyes looked over, Wen Shuo glanced at it, except for Huang Zheng and Pang Mei, no one else knew him, but he could guess that it should be the elder brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law of the old man.

Instead of hurriing over to say hello to the elders, Wen Shuo just bowed to Huang Zheng and Pang Meiluo, who he knew, apologized to everyone, and then pointed to the location of the study on the first floor.

Huang Zheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, nodded.

Wen Shuo hurriedly walked to the old lady's study, glad that the old lady was still alive, so there was no need to kowtow to the uncles, aunts and uncles of Skullcap.

Otherwise, so many people would not have to break the fat man's incomparably noble head?

Kowtow to this matter, Skullcap Zhi has already given him a letter in advance - in the past, when he came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, there was no need to be so solemn, there was such a sentence, bend down and bow down, but this year is different from the past, let him enter the door on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, this is a recognition.

Of course, I want to kowtow to the old lady to pay New Year's greetings.

In this regard, Wen Shuo will not make any "men have gold under their knees" stunned and blue-haired, the New Year, kowtow to the elders is the right thing to do.

If you don't kowtow to the New Year, you're a good man?

Bah!

Coming to the door of the study, Wen Shuo raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, and the voice of Skullcap Zhi came from inside: "Come in." ”

With a silly smile on his face, Wen Shuo pushed the door in.

Next to the wide floor-to-ceiling window, the old lady was half-lying on a soft chaise longue, wearing reading glasses, holding a book in her hand and reading intently.

Skullcap Zhi sat behind the recliner, a pair of jade-like little hands, gently kneading the old lady's shoulders.

"Grandma, I'm here to greet you. Wen Shuo said with a smile, walked over, walked around the desk to the old lady, then knelt down on both knees, bowed and kowtowed, and then straightened his spine, and arched his hand: "I wish you a good new year, happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

The old lady had already put down the book in her hand, looked at Wen Shuo with a smile, waved her hand, and said, "Accept it, get up quickly." ”

"Hey. Wen Shuo stood up.

"When are you two going to get married?" asked the old lady for no reason, but as if it were a matter of course - just like most of the elders in the family, especially the older generation who care for the grandchildren of the next generation, are extremely concerned about their marriage, and wish they could get married and start a family as soon as possible, and then have a few children as soon as possible.

Wen Shuo said respectfully: "As long as Qin Zhi agrees, I can propose anytime and anywhere." ”

Skullcap's cheeks were slightly red, and she glared at the fat man.

The old lady took off her glasses and said, "Little fat man, you are cunning, Qin Zhi agreed, so do you still need to propose?"

"Grandma has taught me a lesson. Wen Shuo bent over, looking respectful, but with a flattering smile, took two steps, squatted next to the chaise longue, put his hands on the armrests of the chaise longue, and said with a smile: "Grandma, in fact, I have always thought that the sooner I get married with Qinzhi, the better, while your old body is still strong, you can help us take care of the children for a few days." ”

Skullcap's cheeks turned even redder, and she kicked the fat man's calf with her foot, looking angry.

Dead fatty!

will say these sweet words and coax people.

But partially, everyone knows that this kind of words are to make people happy, and after they come out of the fat man's mouth, they have a pleasing effect.

Sure enough, the wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to have stretched a lot, and she patted the fat man's hand with a smile, and said: "You dare to say, let my old lady take care of the children for the two of you, not to mention that you are too old to move, who can agree to the gang at home?

"I'm serious. The fat man really showed a serious expression, and said: "Grandma, let you take the child, I didn't say that I have to let you hold and protect it, and I don't need you to chase and feed it, you can help watch it, just educate and educate." ”

"Seriously?" said the old lady in surprise: "You unfilial little thing, you want to break my bones?"

The fat man thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I just want you to help take care of the child in the future......"

"Why?" the old lady asked, seeing that the fat man did not seem to be joking, and that the more she said it, the more it seemed to be true.

"We don't have much experience in raising children and educating children, but you have it, and you have a lot of experience, and you ......" The fat man seemed to feel that he was going to say something, which was not very appropriate, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still said very seriously: "I think so, don't be angry when you say it, you have raised your four sons and two daughters, one is better than the other, count in the world, how many brothers and sisters can there be, and all of them are outstanding?"

The old lady opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Wen Shuo continued: "Also, I heard Qin Zhi say that in the past, you often taught Qin Zhi's brothers and sisters, especially Qin Zhi, who you have always held in your arms and spoiled. I'm not flattering you, let's speak with facts, there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in Qinzhi's generation, and if any of them goes out, they are definitely the best among their peers, right?"

Skullcap Zhi rolled her eyes, there was surprise in her eyes, and she liked fat people more and more.

Dead fat man, he can always surprise people, but he can say those words that make people's hearts feel very comfortable and pleasant.

The old lady smiled and said, "Don't coax me here, this old lady, I'm old, but I can't stand you holding it too high, and it's over if you fall." ”

"Look, let's be reasonable. Wen Shuo had a helpless expression.

"Okay, okay, my old lady suffers, I love to hear this kind of thing. The old lady happily patted Wen Shuo's hand and said, "Since this is the case, then you two have to get married earlier and have children, I promise you, as long as this old bone can still move, I will try my best to help you bring ...... It's just that I'm worried that this old bone won't last until then. ”

Skullcap Zhi hurriedly said coquettishly: "Grandma, you have to live a long life, but you are not allowed to say these words." ”

"Yes, grandma, you have a relaxed heart and are down-to-earth. Wen Shuo showed a cautious look with thief eyebrows, and then whispered: "Have you forgotten? I am a mysticist, and I have studied under the old academician Song Zhaosheng, and I have to give you a pulse from time to time to recuperate your vitality, so that your old body and bones are always healthy and strong." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, closed her eyes slightly, as if she was a little tired, and said, "Good boy, I am very happy to know that you are filial and have a heart." It's just people, how many of them can really live to be over 100 years old? Even if they live to be that old, it's not interesting to lie in bed and deal with medicine jars every day, so it's better to go away earlier and relax. ”

Skullcap Zhi and Wen Shuo were about to persuade a few more words, when the old lady raised her hand and continued: "You don't need to say good words to comfort me, I think very openly, I can feel it recently, my body is not as good as a day, and it will probably be good to live another three or five years." ”

"Grandma......" Skullcap Zhi complained: "Why did you say these things during the Chinese New Year?"

"When you're old, you have to admit it. The old lady opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, what is there to be taboo about this? Saying some auspicious words can really work? It's too vain!"

Wen Shuo smiled: "Grandma, what I say will work, do you believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it. The old lady said bluntly: "Han Kehu, didn't he leave early? He can teach you such a good apprentice, and he also has great skills, so what?"

"Alas, there are so many factors involved. Wen Shuo showed a little bitter emotion on his face, and then smiled: "Grandma, although this auspicious word is a bit empty in essence, almost everyone loves to hear it, right?

The old lady nodded and smiled, "Okay, don't mention this...... Qinzhi, you go and inform them to start dinner later, let the little fat man sort out my vitality, and I can go out to eat with everyone more energetically. ”

"Hey, okay. Skullcap Zhi got up in response, and looked at Wen Shuo as she walked out.

Wen Shuo turned his head and gave her a reassuring look.

Skullcap nodded and walked out with a relieved face - now in the Huang family, the only person who can coax the old lady to be happy from the bottom of her heart is the fat man.

"Grandma, if it works, you will have to trust me more in the future, and you will have to work harder to live well. Wen Shuo got up and walked to the previous position of Skullcap Zhi and sat down, gently put his hands on the old lady's silver hair and thinning head, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, which is better than a treasure, you are the real Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the old Huang family now, this is not to make you happy, I will tell you slowly." ”
