Chapter 44: New Year's Rites

Yang Muzhong smiled honestly, knowing that the seventh sister would not suffer.

"By the way, Seventh Sister, I'm going to my uncle's house the day after tomorrow to give a New Year's gift, and I'm not here for a while, so you have to pay attention to safety."

Yang Qiaoyue was not surprised, the fourth brother was next to the second aunt in the second room, so naturally he went.

smiled: "Got it, the fourth brother doesn't have to worry." ”

She originally wanted Yang Muzhong to bring some mushroom and sweet potato specialties, but Yang Muzhong refused, so as not to make it difficult for her to make it difficult for others in the family.

Yang Qiaoyue has always followed her heart and doesn't care about others, but Yang Muzhong still insists on not using it, so she lets him.

Two days have passed, and no one in the Yang family dares to really come to Nanzhuang to mention the matter.

It took Yang Qiaoyue and the people in Nanzhuang two days to wrap the mushroom bags of ten acres of land and prepare for the second growth.

The four acres of wasteland rented in Yanzhuang have been covered with dry manure and the remaining space fertilizer from the last time has been applied.

Uncle Wang has been recuperating for two days, and his complexion has returned to normal, and he follows him to the wasteland from time to time, watching the busy figures of everyone in Nanzhuang with great interest.

Yang Qiaoyue saw him so leisurely, and walked over: "Uncle Wang, where are you waiting for?" Why hasn't there been any movement at all? ”

"Ahem...... That stinky boy, you won't really forget your uncle! Uncle Wang coughed lightly, "Wait a few more days!" ”

Yang Qiaoyue saw that the other party ran away stupidly, and smiled faintly, letting him watch everyone work so leisurely every day.

"What are you laughing at? So happy! ”

Yang Qiaoyue heard the sound and came back to her senses, and Yang Chengdong, who had not been seen for a few days, came.

"Big brother? Why did you have time to come, you didn't go to the county office to copy the book today. ”

Yang Chengdong looked at Yang Qiaoyue, whose cheeks were red from the cold wind, and scratched her forehead affectionately: "I'm done, come and see you." This Lou Zhixian is really not a kind person, they are all useless old files and let them be re-copied, which is clearly aimed at his father. ”

Yang Qiaoyue secretly thought, you can't target him, people are afraid that he will rob the official hat.

"Big brother, what is Lou Zhixian's reaction to the incident of the displaced people at the South City Gate that day?"

"Father didn't mention this, it shouldn't be nothing, didn't he help him solve the problem." Yang Chengdong replied casually.

"But at the same time, it also stole the limelight ...... the county." Yang Qiaoyue wanted to talk more about it, but forget it, if the eccentric official father can't even suppress a county magistrate, then it is better to continue to stay in Yan County, so as not to affect the family.

didn't continue the topic, and said: "Big brother, my mother wants you to go to Suzhou Mansion to give a New Year's gift to your uncle's house." ”

Yang Chengdong nodded: "I also came here to ask my mother how to arrange this matter, my mother has been in the countryside for the past two years, and my uncle's family is also very worried, and I have been complaining about my father and grandmother in my heart." ”

"I also want to go there, but Nanzhuang has just started to produce, and I really can't leave." Yang Qiaoyue had some regrets.

In the past two years, although my uncle's family has not gone to the countryside to see their mother and daughter because of the Yang family, there has always been no shortage of things, and I am naturally close to my grandmother's house.

Yang Qiaoyue asked everyone to stop and rest, and she and Yang Chengdong went to the Lu family to discuss the matter.

Lu Shi was telling a few maids in the house about the rules of big families and things that need to be paid attention to.

After a few days of teaching, several maids have changed a lot from when they first entered the village, and they are also working hard.

The slightly older Ah Mei is now in charge of helping the Lu family do some things, and Alan Aju asked Guan Qiu to take the front and back to do Zhuangzi's affairs.

When the two entered the house, Lu's face immediately showed a smile, and the girls dispersed and went to work.

Yang Chengdong gave Lu Shi a salute, and Lu hurriedly asked him to sit down, and he hadn't seen him for three days.

"Mother, how are these girls learning?" Yang Qiaoyue asked casually.

Lu Shi smiled: "You don't know who you chose?" It's all good, each has its own characteristics, Amei is cautious and sensible, it is best to manage internal affairs, Aqiu is careful, it is indeed appropriate to let her be in charge of your Zhuangzi's accounts, Alan is smart and quick to react, she is suitable for running outside things, Aju is young and timid, but she is very warm-hearted, and it is appropriate to follow you to serve you. ”

Yang Qiaoyue's thoughts are the same as Lu's, but she didn't expect her mother's vision of people to be quite powerful.

After chatting a few words, Lu took the initiative to talk about her mother's New Year's gift, she asked Yang Chengdong about the time, and wanted him to give the New Year's gift.

"There is no problem in terms of time, it should be possible to go back and forth for ten days, and I can come back before the end of the year. I only went to the academy after a year. Yang Chengdong replied.

This matter was decided, and the New Year's Gift Lu family had almost prepared, a box, all of which were for some clothes for his niece and nephew.

Yang Chengdong wanted to go early and return early, so he decided to go home and prepare to prepare, set off tomorrow, take the waterway, and arrive in two days with a tailwind.

Yang Qiaoyue gave her grandmother's New Year's gift more than Lu's, packing a box of sweet potatoes, a box of pickled white songs, and a box of mushrooms.

Yang Chengdong almost forgot to say this, "Dad asked me to send it with my aunt's New Year's gift." ”

Speaking of the eldest daughter of the Yang family, the Lu family showed a trace of memory, everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time.

She remembered that when she first married into the Yang family, she had the best relationship with her eldest sister, and her eldest sister's marriage was introduced by her mother's family.

Married to an ordinary businessman in Sudi, he has developed well over the years, and he has lived a good life, and everyone has always had contacts, although the Yang family feels that he is married low, and he has always been dissatisfied, and he still complains about the Lu family.

After being demoted in the past two years, the complaints have faded.

"Yue'er, do you have any of those specialties, prepare one for my aunt's family. Your father and grandmother decided to do that two years ago, and she was against it. Every year, we will never forget to prepare a gift for us, which was not particular in the countryside before, but now it used to be a return gift. Lu Shi said lightly.

Yang Qiaoyue naturally has no opinion, her aunt is a contented person, so she doesn't think it's a good thing to get married, and she has also prepared three boxes of specialties.

The next day, in front of the Nanzhuang gate, there were seven boxes full, and Lu Shi smiled, which originally looked shabby, because Yang Qiaoyue's boxes of special products that could not be bought outside suddenly seemed a lot heavier.

"Big brother, thank you for your hard work." Yang Qiaoyue looked at Yang Chengdong's helpless expression and said with a smile.

Yang Chengdong thought of what he had heard from time to time in the Yang family in the past few days, "In the past few days, the family has been saying that you are biased, if you let everyone know, you must not be talked about." ”

"I don't care, whatever they say."

Yang Chengdong didn't want Yang Qiaoyue to really have a dislike with the Yang family, but he couldn't find a reason to say good things for his father and grandmother, they really did too much, and swallowed the words back to his mouth.

"You! Take care of yourself and your mother at home, don't be impulsive in case of trouble, wait for the eldest brother to come back, the eldest brother will definitely not let you be wronged. ”

Yang Qiaoyue smiled and nodded.

Yang Chengdong then saluted the Lu family and pulled the carriage to Yang's house to install the New Year's gift for his aunt.

Compared with the New Year's gift given by Nanzhuang, the Yang family is much more small, and they can't even prepare a box.

This is still a New Year's gift that was barely scraped together after selling a lot of things in the family, Liu's mother's family, Zhao's mother's family, Zhou's mother's family, and two aunts.

The Liu family's New Year's gift for the eldest daughter of the Yang family was the lightest, less than half a box.

Seeing Yang Chengdong pulling seven large wooden boxes, everyone's eyes were straight, which was also too strong.

The faces of the crowd were very embarrassed.

Yang Chengdong was afraid that his family would think that his mother was hiding secrets, so he explained: "My mother only prepared one box of New Year's gifts, and the remaining six boxes were prepared by my sister for my aunt and grandmother, all of which were local specialties and were worthless." ”

The words are full of protection.

Zhao couldn't get used to it, and snorted coldly: "The fourth brother and daughter-in-law really did it, and only gave it to her mother's family and eldest sister, but the inside and outside are clearly distinguished!" Aren't our rooms the Yang family? The New Year's gift is light, and it is the face of the Yang family that is lost! ”

Yang Chengdong suddenly frowned: "Auntie, my mother has embarrassed the Yang family?" As I said, my mother only prepared a box of New Year's gifts for my grandmother's house. The remaining six boxes of souvenirs were prepared by Yue'er for her aunt and grandmother! What does it mean to say this? ”

"Big brother, can't you even hear what you mean? Auntie, this is blaming me for not preparing a New Year's gift for everyone. ”

As the words fell, a small figure came from a distance, holding a package, with a playful smile on his face, who else could it be besides Yang Qiaoyue.

When everyone saw Yang Qiaoyue coming, their faces froze.

"Sister, why are you here?"
