Chapter 310: Meeting the Parents
After the porridge was boiled, Lan Yi and Zhou Weiji also brushed the dishes, counted them neatly and packed them in four wicker baskets, Lan Yi stood up, turned his sour arm, and the kitchen was finally clean.
At this time, Jia Shi also finished feeding the animals in the West Courtyard and brought a pot of goat milk that had just been milked. In fact, she had already finished her busy work, but she just wanted to give Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi some time to get along, so she dragged on and waited for the two children to come over when they should wake up.
Lan Yi took the fresh goat's milk, put the almonds and boiled them, and then went into the main room to wake up the two little ones, and Zhou Weiji naturally followed behind.
Yu'er and Wenxuan had already woken up, but the two children did not get up as usual, but gathered together to whisper. When Lan Yi gently pushed the door into the house, she saw them lying together, discussing something quite seriously.
Hearing the sound of the door, the two little guys turned over and lay on the kang at the same time, "Mother, father, morning." ”
Zhou Wei nodded slightly, Lan Yi stepped forward and planned to dress them, but found that the two little ones had already dressed, "Wen Xuan, did you wear the clothes yourself, or did your brother wear them for you?" ”
"The pants are worn by the baby himself, and the gown is worn by the elder brother." Wen Xuan got up, hugged Lan Yi and kissed him twice.
Yu'er also did it, and felt embarrassed when she thought about it, Lan Yi naturally took him into her arms and kissed him, "Awesome, Wenxuan will dress himself, and Yu'er has learned to take care of his younger brother." ”
Yu'er blushed, raised her head and called Zhou Weiji again, "Dad." ”
"Well," Zhou Wei responded, bending down to pick up their shoes and put them on, and reached out to pick them up. Go to the hospital to wash your face and brush your teeth.
The two little ones were stunned at first, and then they both smiled happily and played with each other. Unlike Lan Yi's struggle when he held them, Zhou Weiji hugged them steadily, and his steps were not heavy, as if the weight of the two children was nothing to him at all.
This is the father, the father's companionship is very important in the boy's growth, although Zhou Weiji does not talk much, he is a careful and generous qualified father.
Hastily filled a few mouthfuls of rice. After drinking goat's milk, the family changed their clothes and went to make a fortune on Tuesday, today is the first day Lan Yi entered the door. According to the rules, he is going to visit his elders, although Zhou Weiji's parents died early, he still has his grandfather and uncle.
Mr. Zhou had four sons and one daughter, and his daughter married far away and rarely returned; The eldest son, Zhou Changfa, and his family are now doing business in the state city. Zhou Changfa's son and daughter are all married and have children. Zhou Weiji got married, and their family did not all come back, but the lobby brother Zhou Weiwen brought his eldest son Zhou Feiyun back to attend the wedding.
Zhou Ifa and his wife Wang have three sons and one daughter, namely the third Zhou Weikun, the old Zhou Weipeng, the daughter Zhou Yueque and the sixth Zhou Weiyu, Zhou Weiyu is the youngest, only two years older than Lan Yi, and has not yet married; As mentioned above, Zhou Yueque, the third sister of the Zhou family, married into the Zhoujia Village next door, and was neighbors with the Zhou carpenter father and son who made furniture for Lan Yi; On Tuesday, the family had no small dealings with Lan Yi. In addition to the fact that her field is rented to their family for farming, she is friendly with Zhou Weipeng's wife Yang. The Yang family is also a talkative, and from time to time they will mention family matters, and Lan Yi is no stranger to them.
Thursday and his wife Zhang have two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is Zhou Weihai of Xingwu, who just got married last year, daughter Zhou Yuelian and Lan Yi are the same age and have not yet married, and the youngest son Zhou Weijiang is seven, I heard Yang talk about it a few times, this week Weijiang and Zhang's pampered grow up, not sensible. Thursday Lan Yi is not a stranger, when she didn't buy a donkey, she took an ox cart from the village into the county seat, and she took the ox cart that made her fortune on Thursday. On Thursday, he made a fortune and had a cow, and he relied on pulling everyone into the city to make money when he was not farming, but this person was a silent person, and Lan Yi did not say a few words to him.
Such a big family is Zhou Weiji's own family, that is, Lan Yi's family in the future, and she has to prepare a meeting gift. It was Lan Yi who asked Zhou Weiji to carry the burden, and he also carried a lot of copper coins and small bracelets to prepare. There are many children in the Zhou family, and formal meeting gifts are naturally indispensable.
Lan Yi counted the big family in her heart again, and found that there was no omission, so she told the two children again, and the four of them rushed to make a fortune on Tuesday together.
Zhou Weiyu, the youngest son of the Zhou family, has not yet married, so he has not yet divided the family of his three sons, and the whole family lives in the old house in the village, which is very crowded, and the Yang family has a headache every time he mentions this matter.
When Zhou Weiji and the four of them arrived, Yang was already waiting at the door. After entering the door, Lan Yi looked at the courtyard, it was a standard farmhouse square yard, three main rooms, two wings on the left and right, and the kitchen was next to the east wing, which was indeed not spacious.
The Yang family welcomed them into the door, and the family was already waiting inside and outside the hall, and Lan Yi felt dizzy when she looked at the black crowd. Zhou Weiji took their mother and son to kowtow to Old Man Zhou, "Grandpa, the second son has brought his daughter-in-law and children to kowtow to you." ”
Second son...... Lan Yi also called grandpa, and Yu'er and the baby called grandpa.
After Lan Yi gave tea to Old Man Zhou, she handed over the prepared gift with both hands, that is, the jade ornament contained in the vermilion lacquer wooden box, "Grandpa, granddaughter-in-law and children have greeted you, I wish you good health and good health." ”
Old Man Zhou replied lightly, a bit of a big man's style, and his wife Wang took the wooden box and stepped aside. Old Man Zhou glanced at it before he spoke: "The second son's family, since you marry into my Zhou family, you must abide by the rules of the Zhou family, abide by the women's way, teach your husband and children, and continue the incense for the third room." If there is any irregularity, the ancestors will look at it, and the people in the clan will not spare you. ”
Master Zhou was not satisfied with Zhou Weiji marrying a widow with a child to enter the door, but fortunately, Lan Yi's reputation in the village was quite good, so he reluctantly did not object. When I got married yesterday, those big people came, and Mr. Zhou thought it was very face-saving, but he didn't expect to be stabbed by Li Er's lameness, although this matter is not to blame on Lan Yi's head, but Mr. Zhou still thinks that she lost the people of the old Zhou family, so he warned her like this.
Lan Yi lowered his head and frowned slightly, hearing that he didn't want to see him, he only bent down and kowtowed, and the Yang family and the others helped their mother and son up.
Subsequently, Zhou Weiji took Lan Yi's mother and son to send gifts to Tuesday and Thursday, Lan Yi sent shoes and socks respectively, Wang and Zhang gave Lan Yi two pairs of silver earrings, and gave Yu'er and Wenxuan red envelopes.
In the end, they greeted Sun Zhou Weiwen, the head of the Zhou family, Lan Yi sent the shoes and socks made for Zhou Changfa and his wife, and asked his cousin to hand them over on his behalf.
Then, Zhou Weiji's younger brothers, younger sisters, younger sisters, nephews, nieces and a large group of others came up to give them a gift to the husband and wife, and Lan Yi sent a greeting gift to the younger generation one by one, all of which were red envelopes of twenty copper coins. When Zhou Weihai and Hu got married last year, the meeting gift they took was copper coins, and Lan Yi also tried to save trouble, just like her. Unlike Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Feinan, who were elated to get the copper coins, Zhou Weiwen's eldest son, Zhou Feiyun, who was the same age as Lan Yi, was embarrassed to salute respectfully when he gave the meeting gift.
Lan Yi sent out a bunch of things, and Yu'er and Wenxuan naturally received a lot of red envelopes and happily put them into their small satchels. (To be continued......)
