Chapter 406: Get down to business

Xu Shiqin has always obeyed the words of the third brother, and she herself regrets that she failed to take the college entrance examination.

When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination first came out, Xu Shiqin was also eager to sign up.

As a result, the first item was to ask for good health, and she was not qualified, and she was sad for a long time at that time.

In the past few years, I have a job, so I don't want to think so much, but today's words from the third brother made her rekindle her desire to learn.

"Okay, I listen to the third brother, and I told the master in the new year that I want to go to the capital and find a chance to study."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, then returned to the house and chatted with a group of relatives and friends.

Everyone had aspirations together, and no one asked how Han Liwei had made his contributions.

It was Han Wenzhong who expressed his gratitude to Xu Shiyan.

If Xu Shiyan hadn't taken the opportunity to arrange for someone to send mutton and venison yesterday, Chef Zhang really wouldn't know what dishes to add.

"Shiyan, how much was those mutton venisons yesterday? I'll give it to you. "The Han family set up a banquet, and Xu Shiyan couldn't be allowed to put money in it.

"Uncle, what are you polite to me?

Let's talk about the two families holding a banquet together, there are so many people in my family in the past, and I haven't counted the banquet money for you here. ”

Xu Shiyan smiled and waved his hand, what do you know so clearly? As long as Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin live a good life, the others are floating clouds.

"How's that going to work? A deer has a lot of money, and it was raised to take deer antlers, which is good, and it is killed directly. ”

Han Wenzhong felt very distressed, a deer can take two stubble of deer antlers, and the antler velvet alone can be sold for more than 1,000 yuan a year.

Besides, this deer can take the velvet for many years, and if you calculate it this way, it will be a great loss to kill a deer.

Originally, the Han family said that they would hold a banquet together, but it was just a famous hall, and they didn't plan to accept the Xu family's banquet money at all.

There are only seven or eight tables of guests on the Xu family's side, and three tables are the mother's family who sent off relatives, which cannot be counted.

How much does a table of banquet cost this year? How can it compare to a deer?

"Uncle, we don't have to argue about this, I won't give you the money for the banquet, and you don't have to give me any money for mutton venison, so be it.

The right is just for us to go up the mountain and come back, just to add a dish to Liwei and Shiqin's wedding. ”

Xu Shiyan smiled and waved his hand, refusing to accept it no matter what.

Xu Shiyan doesn't want it, and the Han family has no way, so it's the only way, it's a big deal to make it back later.

At noon, the Han family prepared a very rich wine and food, and the big guys ate and drank and chatted together, which was very lively.

At one o'clock, the banquet dispersed, and everyone in the Xu family said goodbye and went home.

This is already the twenty-seventh of the lunar month, this year is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the thirtyth lunar month, Xue Xiulin has a few concubines, and the grass begins to grow in her heart, thinking about going home quickly.

I haven't prepared much for the New Year, and I can't always live at my in-laws' house.

But Xu Shixian's brothers insisted on staying for another day, and they would leave after the little sister returned tomorrow.

If Han Liwei accompanied Xu Shiqin back to the door tomorrow, it turned out that only the second and third families were there, and the rest of the brothers were gone, how bad would it be?

Not only did the Xu Shixian brothers not want to leave, but the children didn't want to leave.

There is food and play here, and there is also a color TV to watch.

Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, CCTV also has programs during the day, and these bear children are in love with watching TV, and they wish they could live at their grandparents' house all the time.

Xue Xiulin had a few concubines, but she couldn't help her husband and children, so she had no choice but to agree to stay.

When Zhou Guilan saw this, she knew that her daughters-in-law had something in their hearts and couldn't wait, so she simply led them to make noodles and began to steam steamed buns in the afternoon.

It's going to be the New Year, so you have to steam some jujube steamed buns and flower steamed buns to celebrate.

In order to make the children happy, Zhou Guilan used all the tricks of pressing the bottom of the box to make all kinds of jujube steamed buns and flower steamed buns.

also specially turned out the mold and asked the children to help make fish steamed buns, ingots steamed buns or something.

Now the children are happy, and they are having fun one by one.

At this moment, I was busy until eight o'clock in the evening, all kinds of steamed buns were steamed in five or six pots, and all the kang in the east and west houses were burned hot.

Originally, they all squeezed to the kang, but now, they all ran to the kang, and no one wanted to sleep on the kang, it was too hot.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin returned to the door with a lot of things, and the Xu family warmly and ceremoniously entertained the little couple.

The chicken, duck and fish on the Xu family's side prepared more than a dozen dishes, Xu Shiyan and the others accompanied Han Liwei to drink a little wine, and then the little couple stayed at the Xu family until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and then left.

Waiting to see off Han Liwei and his wife, Xu Chenghou called his sons to him.

"There's one thing, I've wanted to say since you came back, I haven't had a chance.

Now that the sixth child is also married, and today is the end of the door, it's time to talk to you. ”

Xu Shixian is now, what he is most afraid of is that his father will come to this hand, and every time his father puts on this position, a few of them have to be cleaned up.

But Xu Chenghou has already spoken, these few can't hide if they want to, what can they do? Listen hard.

It is estimated that the pension fee for next year will be set, and it is likely to rise some more.

Alas, if it rises, it will rise, and prices are also rising, and the old man and the old lady also have to live, right?

"That's the case, your mother and I are getting older, and we can't do anything in the future.

The pension fee given by the few of you, that is, for an annual meal, can't save anything.

I thought about it for a long time, and I thought, sell this house. Xu Chenghou said this, paused for a moment, and looked up at the sons.

Xu Shixian was stunned, looking puzzled.

It is said that there is also such a custom in rural areas, that is, when the elderly are old and completely out of labor force and unable to live independently, most of them are taken by several sons to take care of them.

For a few months in this house, a few months in that family, each son went to live in the house for a period of time, and he did not take turns to take care of it.

But Xu Chenghou is only sixty-five years old after the New Year, and Zhou Guilan is only fifty-seven years old after the New Year, so it is still early to be unable to live independently, why is it necessary to sell the house to his son's house for the elderly at this time?

Xu Shixian glanced at his daughter-in-law, and said in his heart that this matter is not easy to do.

Mom has a good temper and it's good to say, Dad's temper is too weird, if you go to his house, can you do it?

Besides, his family has three small dilapidated rooms, and the family of five is not very spacious.

Among the five brothers, in addition to the third family, the most spacious, is the second Xu Shi'an, whose house in Sentie is not small, and it is quite spacious.

The other three are all small houses, and they can't live in them because of the large population.

But you can't say that.

The brothers looked at each other, "Dad, are you willing to have such a spacious big house at home?" What a pity it was sold?

Otherwise, if our brothers give you more pensions, this house will not be sold, right? ”

Xu Shixian felt that he would rather give his family more money than take his parents to live there, otherwise, there would be no peace in the future.

Xu Chenghou glanced at his sons and snorted, "I know, you brothers, you don't have the heart to take us to care for the elderly." ”

White-eyed wolves, when they talk about letting them retire, they don't dare to say anything, right?
