Chapter 246: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
"Miss, old lady, they are waiting in the dining room, please come in and eat."
When a maid saw Liang Xiwen, she saluted and said.
Liang Xiwen nodded and took the maid to the dining room, and saw that the dining room was divided into men and women, and there were two tables, and the owners of the family were all here except for the second aunt, and her mother and younger brother also came, sitting on the stools next to the table next to the dining room.
There was no food on the table, there were fruits and snacks on the table, and some snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds.
Liang Xiwen entered the dining room, bent down and said, "Hello grandfather, grandmother, father, mother." ”
"Well, sit down and eat!" The old lady smiled with a serious face, and began to be polite to this granddaughter.
"Granddaughter, come here to sit, I don't know what dishes you like to eat, but we cook a lot of dishes today, and there is always a dish that granddaughter will like."
The old lady changed her face, and asked the butler to arrange for the food to be served as she said this.
"Eldest daughter, sit down!" Liang Yonghui sneered, he felt guilty about this eldest daughter, and now he can't make up for it.
"Hmm"
Liang Xiwen came to her mother's side and sat down.
They are so small that they are divided into two tables, and they only eat separately for men and women.
Liang Huiru sat beside the old lady on the other side, looking at Liang Xiwen with jealousy and annoyance.
"Eldest sister, it's you at the latest, we'll just wait for you."
Liang Xiwen heard Liang Huiru's critical language, but ignored her and said to her mother beside her:
"Mother, did you come early?"
"Mother also just arrived, and the old lady sent a maid to convey that mother and your brother are here, and Xi'er just woke up, right?"
Xie Yaxin looked at her daughter gently and said.
"Well, yes Mother."
Liang Xiwen smiled and sat next to her mother, with a sense of happiness in maternal love.
Liang Huiru was even more annoyed when she saw that no one was talking to their mother and daughter, her mother was still locked up in the courtyard and couldn't come here to have a reunion dinner together.
The old lady looked at the mother and daughter quietly, it stands to reason that their mother and daughter rarely meet, why are they so close?
She is also a grandmother, why is her granddaughter not close to her?
The old lady had a sour feeling in her heart at the moment, she did not give birth to a daughter, but only gave birth to such a son.
Her husband's concubine gave birth to two daughters, and she was still under her name back then, married to the next county, and she didn't come back once a year, she wasn't born by herself, and she didn't care much, so she arranged a marriage casually and let them marry the owner of the store.
One is married to the owner of a shop that sells fabrics, and the other is married to the owner of a grain and rice store, saying that he is very busy all year round, and he will only return to his parents' house on the second day of the new year.
It was only half a day to come here from the next county, and after the master's concubine died, the two unmarried girls came back even less after they lost their mothers.
The maids served two tables full of dishes and poured them fruit wine.
The old lady said at this time: "We haven't had a reunion dinner together for many years, this year we can sit together for a reunion dinner, it's really happy, we have eaten this reunion dinner, and we will live a happier and healthier family in the future." ”
The old lady spoke, and Xie Yaxin's mother and son all sat quietly and listened.
"Let's eat together!" Liang Yonghui said simply.
"Son, you haven't been to your daughter-in-law's yard for a long time, tonight you have a full meal and go to your daughter-in-law's yard to live! Your husband and wife want to be in harmony, and our family wants to have a prosperous family. ”
As soon as the old lady's words were finished, many people looked at him, and the people present looked at the two protagonists who were said by the old lady.
Xie Yaxin was watched by everyone, and when the old lady said about her, she kept her head down and couldn't see her expression.
Liang Yonghui's sneering expression, he has too many indescribable feelings for this lady, it seems that since the eldest lady moved out of that courtyard, he hasn't lived with the eldest lady for many years, right?
has been living in the original yard, living with a different owner, replaced by a second aunt.
They haven't been married for many years, they haven't eaten together and haven't lived together, maybe she is inferior to the eldest lady and seeks the gentleness of other women, but unfortunately the second aunt is not gentle, so she can only look for it outside.
"Eat, eat, everyone eat, I will take care of my father's affairs by myself."
The old lady sighed in his heart, and it could only be so, and while eating, he observed the children and grandchildren in the audience.
Liang Haoxuan, the eldest grandson, is elegant and eats quickly, and he can also see a good upbringing.
The little face already has the shadow of the Xie family, and I heard that the grades in reading are still very good, and there will be success in the future.
Let's take a look at the second grandson, this grandson who likes to play, he learned his father's love of play without learning anything, but he is a little better than his father, and he is not narrow-minded like the second aunt.
Take a look at the eldest granddaughter, she looks like a young lady when she eats and walks, and her behavior is better than that of the second granddaughter.
I don't know if she is in the mountains, only accompanied by maids and nuns, how can she learn better than the second lady at home, is this innate?
This girl must not be simple, but it is a pity that their family did not treat her well before, from her clear eyes, the old lady feels self-ashamed, not good to be a good grandfather, and is not qualified to ask how good his granddaughter is to him, all the requirements seem to be shameful!
The eldest granddaughter and eldest grandson have the shadow of the Xie family.
No wonder it is said that marrying a good daughter-in-law and several generations of good children and grandchildren.
Look at the second girl, I didn't learn anything well, so I learned the second aunt's troubles all day long, a good home, and I was made a family by this mess.
The old lady glanced at Xie Yaxin again, this daughter-in-law was the marriage he had made a conspiracy and got for his son.
He regretted it a little at the moment, he had ignored it all these years, if he stopped his son, wouldn't it be much better not to let the second aunt housekeeper?
The Xie family, a substitute stock, he had long expected that their family would be richer in the future.
It's a pity that after a good move, my son made a bad move.
He was worried about whether the family would get along in the future, and over the years, they had spent their daughter-in-law's dowry and abused them.
Although he didn't do such a thing with his own hands, the second aunt did such a thing, and the two of them still took the dowry of the eldest lady who was filial to the second aunt.
Liang Haoxuan didn't care that the old lady looked at him from time to time, as long as he had a full meal today, it was not a matter to be picky.
He didn't know that he had never come to this courtyard to eat, but he knew that he used to envy Liang Dongzhi for often coming to this courtyard to eat, and they were a family.
Only when he and his mother ate a simple meal, which his mother worked hard to eat, and gave money to the servants who cooked the rice, he didn't have to eat a bad meal.
Although the food is simpler, their mother and son have a dull life, but it is very difficult for someone to bully their mother and son from time to time, and while enduring their bullying, they dare not resist and feel that they are living a very poor life.
He and his mother are most worried about their sister on the mountain, who will not be able to eat and live well, and miss it when they sleep at night.
