On the afternoon of the third day of the lunar month, the cold wind was blowing.

Aiju walked on the way home step by step.

He hid in Pingbo's room and "roasted the fire".

Aiju walked slowly with her head down.

When she passed by the gate of Feng's mansion, she didn't just stop.

Aiju vaguely heard: There was a very faint voice, calling to herself.

Aiju stood and looked around, and saw that there was no one around.

Aiju walked resolutely.

"Aiju, I've been waiting for you for so long! ”

Aiju immediately turned around and called: Uncle Ji, what are you waiting for me!

He replied: Do I have to have something to do to find you?

Aiju said: Uncle Zhen, you obviously know that I don't mean this! Don't distort my meaning, okay!

He replied, "Fortunately, I saw you through Pingbo's window······

Aiju hurriedly said: What is Uncle Zhen for?

"Come in, you two, it's cold outside!" cried Pingber, standing at the doorway.

Uncle Ping waved his hand and replied: Forget it! Forget it! Ping Bo went in and sat down, and the two of us left.

As he walked, he shouted, "I do have something to do with you today!"

However, it is a little personal.

Aiju walked forward slowly, and replied, "What the hell is going on!" Can you tell me now!

Uncle Ji continued: The day after tomorrow is my mother's 71st birthday, and I want to call Shang Qianqian to go back together.

Aiju smiled: Grandma Qianqian's birthday, 71-year-old birthday, should really be celebrated.

Aiju hurriedly said: I will ask for two days off, and I will also accompany Qianqian back to celebrate the birthday of my mother-in-law.

Aiju turned around and was about to go back.

Uncle Ji drilled in front of Aiju and called: No need, Aiju doesn't need to bother, we are all doing things in Fengfu, and I have a deep understanding of the various difficulties, the third lady is still in confinement, and Aiju is serving the third lady well.

Aiju thought about it, turned around, and responded: Then I wish my mother-in-law "blessings such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan".

Uncle Ji thanked him: I thank Aiju for my mother!

"Uncle, hurry up and sit down, let's get to the house." ”

He hurried to the door and knocked on it.

The mound pushed open the door and called: Uncle Zhen, please come in quickly!

Uncle Qi shouted: Aiju, you also come in.

Aiju replied: Uncle Qi, you go in first, the wind is strong outside, my feet move slowly, I will come immediately.

"Uncle, hurry up and come in and sit!"

Uncle Ji turned around and called: Qianqian.

Aiju came over and called: Uncle Ji, hurry up and go in!

He stepped into the house.

Aiju tied the door and followed closely.

Qianqian called: Uncle sat down next to the brazier and roasted the fire.

Shui Shui shouted: "Uncle Tsuba."

He replied, "Shuishui, you have grown taller again."

Shui Shui smiled: No.

"Uncle, have a cup of hot tea. The mound came over with a cup of hot tea.

Aiju walked in slowly and said, "This is the hell weather!

Aiju walked towards the brazier.

Shui Shui came to Aiju's side and called: Mother!

Aiju pulled the water and sat down.

"Mother, you also have a cup of hot tea. The mound took a cup of tea and exclaimed:

Aiju took the tea, licked it slowly, and said: Qianqian, your grandmother will have a big birthday the day after tomorrow, and you will go home with Uncle Ji tomorrow.

"Oh, what kind of gifts are we going to get for you?" continued Aiju.

Uncle Ji replied: No, no, just go back.

Aiju responded: You have to leave tomorrow, what gifts do we get!

He said, "I said, don't bring any gifts, if you have to prepare, take two pounds of peanuts."

Aiju continued: This is not good!

Uncle Ge argued: What could be wrong!

Aiju didn't make a sound.

Uncle Qi shouted: Qianqian.

Qian Qian buried her head and said slowly: Uncle, is there anything wrong with you?

Uncle Ji called: Qianqian, you will go back with Uncle tomorrow, you don't want to say anything!

Qianqian responded: I won't go back.

Uncle Qi shouted: What did Qianqian say!

Qianqian raised her head and replied: I won't go back.

Aiju said: The day after tomorrow is your grandmother's 71st birthday, why don't you go back to help your grandmother celebrate her birthday!

Qianqian still buried her head and said nothing.

The mound persuaded: Sister-in-law Qianqian, go back! I will go back with you tomorrow!

Aiju shouted: Mound, shut up!

The mound immediately closed its mouth.

Aiju said: Qianqian, your mother-in-law is your grandmother, she is only 71 years old in her life, you take this opportunity to chat with her.

Qianqian buried her body and was silent.

The mound of earth came to the table and lit the lantern.

Uncle Ji called: Aiju, let's take a step to speak.

Aiju stood up and said, "Wait a minute!"

Aiju went over and took a flashlight, walked over, and called: Let's go out and talk.

Aiju led Uncle Ji outside.

Standing at the fork in the door outside, Uncle Qi asked: Aiju, you say-why doesn't Qianqian want to go back with me?

Ai Ju thought for a moment and replied: What is Qianqian thinking in her heart!

Uncle Ji said: I guess! The reason why Qianqian refused to go home was probably because of the "Three Chapters of the Law".

Aiju continued: "Three chapters of the covenant."

He replied: Yes, it is the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" that you promised my father.

Aiju thought for a while and replied: I think so.

Uncle Ji sighed: "Otherwise, I'll go back alone tomorrow."

It······'s a pity!

Aiju asked: What's wrong with my mother-in-law?

Uncle Ji said: My mother chattered about Qianqian every now and then, and I wanted to take this opportunity······

Aiju replied: Since the mother-in-law thinks about Qianqian, we welcome her at any time.

Uncle Ji argued: But my mother's feet don't obey the call.

And, her age?

Aiju was silent for a moment and called: Let's go in!

Aiju turned on a flashlight and slowly walked into the house.

He followed one after another.

Aiju walked into the back room and called: Qianqian, you come out for a while.

Qianqian slowly stood up and staggered out.

Aiju asked as she walked: Qianqian, does your grandmother love you?

Qianqian replied in a low voice: Grandma loves me very much.

Aiju asked: Then why don't you go back to celebrate her birthday!

Qianqian closed her mouth and did not answer.

Aiju said: Mother-in-law is worried about "Qianqian" day and night, Qianqian doesn't have to be so ruthless! You can go back to see her and talk to her.

Qianqian choked up and said: Does it make sense for me to go back?

Aiju whispered: Are you still thinking about the "Three Chapters of the Law"!

Qianqian responded: Can I not want to?

Aiju persuaded: Don't think about it, don't let yourself create a shadow in your heart, as long as you keep the original intention in your heart, this sentence is not a big deal.

Qianqian took a deep breath and replied, "Okay! I'll go back."

Aiju called: It's getting late now, let's go in and cook!

Qianqian followed Aiju in.

Shui Shui saw Aiju walk in and called, "Mother, I'm hungry."

Aiju responded: Don't call the water!

Aiju said: The mound stayed in the outhouse to accompany Uncle Ji well, and Qianqian and I went in to cook.

Uncle replied: "The mound is so well-behaved! Aiju doesn't have to worry! Aiju is busy going.

Aiju and the others walked slowly into the kitchen.

The mound said, "Uncle I'll add you another cup of tea."

He said, "Forget it!" It's so cold! I don't want to drink too much water.

The mound asked: Uncle Zhen, the mother-in-law's birthday must be very lively, right?

He said, "We don't have a big feast, it's just a gathering of some relatives.

The mound called: Why don't I go back with you tomorrow?

Uncle Ji continued: "The mound is so sensible, so polite! I welcome the mound to my house.

But, your mother?

The mound replied: I'll go and talk to my mother! Tomorrow I'll go back with Uncle Ji to have a look.

Shui Shui rushed to say: Second brother goes, I will go too.

Uncle Ji replied: No, no, Aiju said just now that if you go and tell her again, she will definitely be angry.

The mound argued: Go to your house and see! Will my mother be angry?

He pretended to be dazed, pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

The mound asked: Didn't sister-in-law Qianqian say! How many brothers and sisters does she have? Who are they? Will they go on the birthday of her mother-in-law the day after tomorrow?

Uncle Qi replied: Qianqian has a lot of brothers and sisters, and I have three sons and two daughters.

They are all older than Qianqian.

The mound asked: How come we have never seen so many children?

Ji Bodao: My two eldest sons, they both work outside, and even their homes are outside. One of my daughters, who also works outside the home, is now home.

Now there is a young son and a little daughter who are still at home, and they are still studying.

The mound called: "What a blessing is you!"

Uncle Ji smiled slightly: What a blessing! It's okay!

"Uncle Zhuang, it's time to eat! It's so late today! I didn't starve you!" Aiju walked out with two bowls of dishes.

Qianqian followed one after another.

Uncle replied: Look at what Aiju said, is it late now?

Ai Ju said: You are used to eating breakfast and dinner in Feng Mansion, how can you compare with us!

Uncle Ji continued: Aiju, don't forget, what is dinner!

Besides: when I was at home, I ate at this point.

Qianqian hurried to add food to everyone.

The mound hurriedly leaned over and helped the row serve food.

Aiju wiped the square table and shouted: Uncle Ji, come and sit on the table!

He walked over one after another.

Aiju gently pushed the brazier.

Aiju shouted: We only have a few side dishes, Uncle Ji must not dislike it, Uncle Ji eats it himself.

Uncle Ying said: Look at Ai Ju, as if I am a distinguished guest, shouting at me.

Aiju replied: "Why is Uncle Zhu not a guest?" Uncle Zhu is closer than a guest.

Uncle Ji called: Ai Juxiu will tell me this again! I hate these red tape the most, you are naturally good!

Aiju smiled: Okay, good, good, you do it yourself, I won't bother to speak.

They sat down at the table.

The mound picked up the bowl, sandwiched the dish with chopsticks, and said: Come, come, come, everyone eat!

Everyone began to eat one after another.

Uncle Ji held the dishes and chopsticks and asked: Qianqian, will you go back with Uncle tomorrow?

Qianqian raised her head and replied, "Well, I'll go back with my uncle."

Uncle Qi smiled: Tomorrow my mother will be very happy to see Qianqian.

Uncle Ji gulped down his meal.

The mound called: Mother, tomorrow I will go with Shui Shui to pay a birthday greeting to my mother-in-law, okay?

Aiju replied: If the mound wants to say goodbye to his mother-in-law, stay at home and say goodbye! By the way, let Uncle Ji bring a message back.

The mound shouted: I want to go to my uncle's house to have fun, and I want to bow to my mother-in-law in person.

Aiju shouted: Nonsense! How can there be such a courtesy! If you want to go! Wait for your brother to come back.

The mound argued: Isn't my brother not at home?

Aiju yelled: Your brother will come back sooner or later, you know?

Little bastard.

The mound replied, "Mom!" I just asked, why are you so abnormal, am I your son?

Aiju replied angrily: Don't ask.

Uncle Ji continued: Aiju is angry, don't be childish with children.

Uncle Ji said: The mound is too, don't mention the left sentence or the right sentence in front of your mother - your brother, your brother.

When your mother listens, she will naturally ······

The mound put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: I mentioned it, so what! I know! My mother is eccentric, my mother just likes my brother, I and Shui Shui are redundant, and my mother will not take me to heart at all.

Aiju immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and slapped the mound of dirt.

Uncle Ji called: Aiju.

The mound gritted its teeth and kept dripping tears.

Aiju stood, tears in her eyes.

Slowly, Aiju sat down, buried her head on the table, and cried extremely hoarsely.

Shui Shui saw that Aiju was crying, so he hurried to Aiju's side, lay on Aiju's thigh, and cried.

The mound walked behind Aiju, pushed Aiju's arm, and called: Mother, don't cry, I won't say brother anymore, I won't make my mother angry anymore.

Qianqian gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand.

Uncle Ji put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the side, leaned his back against Aiju and them, and quietly wept.

Aiju held the mound in one hand and cried loudly, crying: Hmm······
