294 Send-off feast
Chen Cihai, after learning about the day of departure from the village chief, hurriedly began to organize a send-off banquet.
This is a great joy for the Chen family, and the people of the Chen family have all been dispatched.
The vegetables were grown in the fields of each family, the fish were caught by the men who went out to sea, and Chen Heyun helped match the bridge, sent a cart of wine, and three big fat pigs.
Wang Taoqing was still in confinement, and it was difficult to come forward, so Chen's mother took over the work.
Peng and Chen Lihai also came.
Peng looked at the door of the Chen family's compound, feeling a little timid, she wrapped her arms around Chen Lihai, and didn't dare to raise her legs.
"Why don't I go back..."
Peng pursed his lips and said softly.
Although since she broke up with her mother's family, she has known her mistakes and seriously repented, often in the name of Chen Lihai, secretly sent things to Chen's mother and Wang Taoqing......
But this doesn't mean that the mistakes she made can be erased, Peng's heart is guilty.
Chen Lihai held her hand and gave her a sense of security, "Don't think about it, my sister-in-law is the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted......"
Chen Lihai paused, feeling that the effect of his words seemed to be useless, and said:
"I know what you're thinking, but this is to see Qingzhou off, let's go in for a while, and when we see the eldest brother and them, let's go home, okay?"
Peng bit his lip, but finally made up his mind and nodded in response.
The little couple walked inside, and when they entered the door, they ran into Chen's mother.
Chen's mother knew that her second daughter-in-law had been reformed, and she had gone to Wang Taoqing's side, but she hadn't forgiven her yet.
Although Wang Taoqing is still in confinement, the house is not soundproof, in case she hears something and stimulates her, it will be broken.
Mother Chen's eyes rolled, and her eyes swept over the women on the side, asking them to go over with the dishes first, and then go over later.
Everyone in the Chen family knows that they all live in a village, and there is nothing to hide.
The women didn't talk much, so they went away happily.
Chen's mother gave Chen Lihai and his family a look and led them to the side room.
"Don't think I'm talking ugly, Taoqing is still in confinement, you can't be angry, if you really know that you're wrong, Peng's will see Qingzhou later, go back!"
Chen's mother has always spoken directly, and Peng has already seen it.
She also knew that Mother Chen's words were not biased in favor of Wang Taoqing, if she really made trouble and turned over the original matter, her face would not be much better.
It's just that these words sounded a little hurtful, she lowered her eyebrows, her body trembled slightly, and her face was a little pale, but in the end she nodded and didn't say anything.
Mother Chen saw her like this, and she actually didn't feel very comfortable in her heart.
As the mother of her three sons, she naturally hopes that even if her brothers get married, they will get along in harmony.
But she is not only the mother of her own children, but also the mother-in-law of her daughters-in-law.
Peng's is now wronged, but wasn't Wang Taoqing wronged at the beginning?
From her own point of view, she can forgive Peng and accept Peng's repentance, but she is not qualified to forgive and re-accept Peng for Taoqing.
When a person makes a mistake, he has to bear the consequences of that mistake.
Chen Lihai was also a little embarrassed, his fingers unconsciously buttoned his clothes, and said, "Mother..."
Mother Chen raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Chen Lihai immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
Chen's mother: "......"
Look at this unproductive appearance.
Mother Chen glared at him with hatred.
"Alright, I'm still busy, I don't have time to talk to you more.
As for Qingzhou, this should be reading in his own room, and you can go directly to find him. โ
Chen Qingzhou was the only grandchild of the Chen family in the past, and it can be said that he grew up on the shoulders of the three brothers of the Chen family.
It's just that the longer this child grows, the more gentle his temperament becomes, and when he gets older, he doesn't ride on their shoulders anymore.
Chen Lihai thought about it, and suddenly recalled the scene when Chen Qingzhou found him and said that he wanted to learn to make small seals, and sighed with some emotion.
Unconsciously, Qingzhou has grown from the child who shouted to ride a big horse to a young man who was born in love.
Mother Chen was a little speechless when she looked at his stunned appearance.
The older generation said that men will become more and more stable after marriage, but this son...
Mother Chen pulled her face, looking too lazy to pay attention to her stupid son, and walked around the little two.
Seeing that his mother-in-law was gone, Peng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and gently pulled Chen Lihai, "Let's go find Qingzhou now, right?" โ
Take advantage of the fact that there will be few people, give them the gifts they have prepared early, and then go home.
The Peng family didn't want to become the talk of the clansmen after dinner.
Chen Lihai was shouted back to his senses by Peng's voice, and then he noticed that Chen's mother was gone, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, thought about Peng's words, and nodded in response.
"Well, let's get over it."
Chen Qingzhou's room, Chen Lihai naturally knew.
He led Peng, knocked on Chen Qingzhou's door, and after waiting for a response, pushed the door in.
Chen Qingzhou had already put down the book, he was dressed in moon-white clothes, his posture was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and his whole body was full of a warm and jade-like bookish atmosphere.
"Second uncle, second uncle."
Chen Qingzhou's voice has not yet reached the stage of voice change, and his voice is slightly immature and full of juvenile feeling.
Chen Lihai and Peng listened and unconsciously smiled.
Chen Lihai stepped forward slightly, "I heard from them, you are going to go to the capital with the Gu family tomorrow night?" โ
Chen Qingzhou bowed his head, the send-off banquet was placed, this news had spread throughout the entire Luoshan Village, and there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
Chen Lihai looked at Chen Qingzhou, who had grown to his chest, and his heart was a little soft, in the end, he was the child he watched grow up.
He pursed his lips slightly, took out a purse from his arms, and handed it over.
"Second Uncle doesn't have any skills, nothing can help you.
I heard others say that every inch of land in that place in the capital costs every inch of land, and a steamed bun costs ten cents, and there are twenty taels of silver in it, you accept it. โ
Chen Lihai didn't talk about the capital, he hadn't even been to the capital, but since the news came out in the village that Chen Qingzhou was going to the capital to study, he quietly looked around to find someone to inquire about the situation in the capital.
He didn't hear about the others, but he heard those people say that the capital is a money cave, the expenses are very large, there is no money, and it is difficult to move an inch when you go to the capital.
Chen Lihai was a little anxious when he heard this, so he went home and pulled Peng's to discuss.
Chen Lihai is because Chen Qingzhou is a nephew who grew up watching him, and Peng's is because of his guilt towards Wang Taoqing.
The two hit it off and decided to send the twenty taels of silver they had saved in their hands to Chen Qingzhou.
In the end, it was the brother who broke the bones and connected the tendons, although Chen Cihai was angry because of what happened at the beginning, but seeing that his younger brother was not doing well, he was still soft-hearted and helped to build bridges and pull strings again, so that the wooden pieces made by Chen Lihai were re-marketable.
These twenty taels are what Chen Lihai has earned by his own craftsmanship in the past few months.
Chen Qingzhou didn't expect Chen Lihai to come to him to give money, so he froze for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly refused: "Second uncle, I can't accept this money." โ
Chen Lihai didn't know that this nephew was sensible, he was not a good talker, so he would be stuffed directly into Chen Qingzhou's arms, and said: "This is the second uncle's intention, what can't be accepted!" โ
After speaking, he hurriedly pulled down Peng's.
Peng Shi understood, and took the words:
"Qingzhou, you just listen to your second uncle, take the money, we still have something to do at home, so we will go back first."
After speaking, the two of them left quickly with a tacit understanding, leaving Chen Qingzhou standing in place, and the purse stuffed in his hand was like a hot potato.
Who understands the treasures, got up in a daze and went to the toilet, and after the incident, I felt a little uncomfortable in my nose, and I wiped it and had a handful of blood on my hands.
It happened that I was about to wash my hands in front of the washstand, and I quickly looked up in the mirror, and my nosebleed inside, bright red and red, which scared people to wake up immediately.
What's more, there are many nosebleeds that can't be stopped, and they flow backwards into the throat, and the saliva they spit out is blood.
