Since the beginning of the Chu Dynasty, officials have formed a habit of walking around each other every New Year's Pass, drawing in the team, and taking this opportunity to communicate with each other.

Gradually, this trend continued to the common people, and everyone would give New Year's gifts to relatives and friends as soon as they arrived.

When the Yang family was in Beijing, Yang Qiaoyue was pulled by her mother every time to arrange a gift list.

In the past two years, they have been in the countryside, and they don't like this in the countryside, and they don't want to be at home when they come to the city, so they naturally don't think about it.

Now I hear my grandmother mention that she can't decide this matter for her mother, after all, she hasn't separated yet, and her uncle still has to prepare their New Year's gifts.

"Grandmother, wait a minute, I'll go and see my mother's body, if it's okay, it involves my uncle's side, my mother should discuss it with my grandmother."

Yang Qiaoyue retreated, and Yang Chengdong stayed behind to greet his grandmother and Yang Qixin.

After a while, Lu Shi and Yang Qiaoyue returned to the living room, Lu Shi's face was ruddy, and he didn't look unwell.

Yang Qixin snorted coldly, obviously because Yang Qiaoyue didn't want them to see the Lu family.

When the Lu family entered the house and saw that the eldest son was back, he was emotional, so he still took care of the old lady and Yang Qixin first. After some salutes, he looked at Yang Chengdong and his eyes softened: "Dong'er is also back." ”

Yang Chengdong knelt down towards the Lu family and saluted: "Chengdong has seen his mother, and his mother is Kangtai." ”

Lu's nose was sour, tears filled him, and he stepped forward to help Yang Chengdong, their mother and son hadn't seen each other for two years.

"Hurry up, they've all grown so big, kneeling makes people laugh."

Yang Chengdong got up, and when he heard that Lu didn't blame him for not going to the countryside to see her and his sister for two years, he blamed himself even more.

As the eldest son, you can't protect your mother, and as an eldest brother, you can't protect your sister.

Yang Qiaoyue understands his self-blame and hopes that this self-blame can be turned into motivation, and only by being promoted can he officially enter the official career.

The old grandmother was a little surprised, Yang Chengdong didn't have such a big gift when he saw her, so he interrupted them with a light cough and talked about coming over this time.

The Lu family is also very concerned about his mother's family, so he naturally doesn't want the etiquette to be light.

"The fourth daughter-in-law, you also know that the family is now selling the things before to live, maybe this year's etiquette will be very light, what do you think about the Lu family?" The old grandmother looked a little embarrassed.

Listening to their discussions, Yang Qiaoyue understood that the old grandmother wanted the Lu family's mother to prepare it herself and send it in the name of the Yang family.

Lu Shi obviously also heard the meaning, "Mother, I can prepare the New Year's gift from my mother's house and send it myself." ”

The old grandmother didn't expect the Lu family to take the initiative to respond to this matter so easily, it was her small belly and chicken intestines, and she thought that the Lu family would make trouble.

She reminded along the way: "Lu'er, I hope you understand Si'er, he also has difficulties, and he must not really have a disagreement." He is also for the Yang family, if he can't get out of Yan County, his career in this life will be ruined. If you haven't decided on anything yet, don't say anything on your mother's side, so as not to add to your troubles. ”

Yang Qiaoyue's face became a little ugly, but this time her mother's reaction was flat, which made her let go of her worries.

Lu Shi replied lightly: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to say yet." Again, Yue'er and I are not the ones who stop the development of the old man's career, just be fine. ”

The old grandmother was stunned, it was Yang Qiaoyue's resolute attitude before, but this time it was Lu's own attitude, and her heart became more and more complicated.

"Grandmother, I see that the sky is getting dark outside, and there have been many displaced people recently, so I don't leave food." Yang Qiaoyue directly issued an eviction order.

This is Nanzhuang, and she is the master.

Yang Chengdong wanted to say something, but swallowed back.

Yang Qixin's face sank, he had been ordered to expel the guest twice today, and helped the old lady to get up: "Mother, let's go!" ”

The old grandmother knew that it was useless to continue, sighed, and got up to leave.

After they left, Yang Chengdong spoke: "Seventh sister, you should be tactful, don't let people say disrespectful words about your grandmother." Big brother knows that you didn't care about other people's opinions since you were a child, but people are terrible. ”

Lu Shi also agreed with the eldest son's opinion and told Yang Qiaoyue to be more tactful next time.

Yang Qiaoyue nodded helplessly: "Big brother, my mother and I miss you and other brothers." ”

Yang Chengdong was pinched by a word, and immediately felt guilty, and what he said just now had already been left behind.

"It's all the eldest brother who is useless, thanks to my sister taking care of my mother in the past two years, my mother's body looks a lot better, and it ...... a few days ago."

"Don't talk about that, big brother, how are you preparing for next year's autumn festival? If the eldest brother is promoted, my mother and I will forgive you. Yang Qiaoyue quipped.

Lu Shi was afraid that his son would be under too much pressure, so he nodded Yang Qiaoyue's forehead: "Don't listen to this girl, just do your best, if you can't do it, next time." ”

"Mother, I don't agree with this, if I always feel that there is a way back, I won't do my best. If so, it is better to go with us in the countryside. Why let the eldest brother stay in the county academy with a disturbed conscience to study hard, isn't it just for the autumn of the coming year. Yang Qiaoyue said.

She also said this to Yang Chengdong, if you have this mentality, it is not necessarily a good thing to take the exam, it should be nervous now, relax before the exam.

Yang Chengdong also agreed with Yang Qiaoyue's words: "Mother, my sister is right, next time it will be the year of the weak crown, and if you put it to death and live later, you can't leave a way out for yourself." ”

"Mother naturally believes it." Lu Shi didn't say anything more discouraged.

Yang Qiaoyue personally cooked that night and made a table of sumptuous dishes, and Nanzhuang laughed and laughed.

During the banquet, Mu Enen, Guan Zeng, and Guan Qiu were also introduced to Yang Chengdong, and they talked about interesting stories in the countryside for two years and Zhuangzi.

Yang Chengdong is different from Yang Muzhong, the former's cognition of Yang Qiaoyue is still the impression of being a teacher in Beijing.

He was very surprised that his sister actually bought a village and land, the mushrooms grown in the wasteland grew well, but he had personally experienced how barren the land in Yan County was, and the original feeling in his heart that the inappropriateness of the lady went to the ground also dissipated in an instant.

Yang Chengdong's return made Lu Shi happy, and there were more smiles on his face.

Yang Qiaoyue deliberately avoided the matter of leaving the book, but after the meal, Lu took the initiative to mention the matter to Yang Chengdong.

"Dong'er, you should know the reason why my mother lived out, right?"

Yang Chengdong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yang Qiaoyue, and nodded: "Because my father wants to help Aunt Liu, with the help of the Liu family's ability in Beijing, he will work for the Yang family, and I hope that the three-year evaluation and promotion or flat adjustment will be made in the next year." ”

Seeing that his son knew about this, Lu Shi did not hide and leave the book, and roughly explained what happened.

Finally, he said: "If your father signs and leaves, your mother will reconcile with your father." ”

"Mother......!" Yang Chengdong wanted to be comforted, but found that he didn't know what to say.

Although many of them were omitted, Yang Chengdong frowned when he heard it, if it wasn't for his sister's toughness, how much slander his mother would suffer in the future.

Unexpectedly, the letter from home was concealed so much, if he didn't believe in his sister and mother, and didn't have a preconceived idea that their fault, he would definitely have a suspicion about this matter.

If it weren't for the Confucian etiquette that he had grown up with to keep his sanity, he would have to rush back to question his father, straighten out the side room, and let his mother and younger siblings deal with themselves.

Yang Chengdong, who has always had a gentle personality, looked angry: "Mother, my sister did the right thing, even if I am here, I can't be so keen and thoughtful, at least I don't dare to stand up for my mother and leave the book, my sister has grown up." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Qiaoyue's gaze, which was originally just concerned and doting, but at this time, he also admired it more.

In just two years, I didn't expect my sister's personality to change so much, and I was glad that such a change was in my heart.
