Chapter 155: New Year's Greetings
Except for his father-in-law's family, Zhongqinbo let go last year, and he won't go out to pay New Year's greetings in the future.
The New Year's greetings and socialization during the Chinese New Year in the Yuan Mansion were handed over to the daughter-in-law and the son-in-law.
Cuihua and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu became the spokespersons of Zhongqin Bofu, two Xiao Douding who were dressed exactly the same, and the unscrupulous mother gave Xiao Tu to Tie, both of them arched their hands, and the congratulatory messages came out together.
From the eighty-year-old Fengjun to the one-year-old little doll, there is no one who is not rare for them, and the red envelope is soft when it is received.
Even Cai Sai Restaurant didn't let go, and he also embarrassed Cai Saijiu with the sharp turn of Xinxue, so that Cai Saijiu wanted to hide when he saw these two babies.
On the fifth day of the new year, the aunt and grandmother of the Hu family came back to visit their parents' house.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law! Little Six is here to pay New Year's greetings!" Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, followed by two dogs who returned to their parents' house together.
"Come on, come on!" Daddy Hu and Zhang hurriedly came out, and Daddy Hu rushed to take Xiao Wu into his arms.
Xiao Wu smiled*** and hugged Daddy Hu's neck, "Father-in-law, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, is our little five heavy again? In a few years, my father-in-law will not be able to hold it!"
"In a few years, I'll hold my father-in-law!"
"Hahaha, my good grandson, why are you so filial!"
Daddy Hu is really blatantly eccentric, among the children, he likes Cuihua the most, and among the grandchildren, this is the rarest one, and the grandson Xiaowu, who has inherited the strength of the Hu family.
Zhang's rare sweet and quirky little six, when the children saw their mother-in-law, they whispered affectionately, telling their mother-in-law how many red envelopes he got this year, and he could buy a lot of food.
The men got together to chat, but seeing that the brother-in-law's face was a little stiff, Heiwa probably guessed it and found a secluded place.
Heiwa bluntly asked, "Big brother, what's going on?"
Hu Yiniu's old face turned red: "I went to my eldest brother with the third child and a few of them, and after asking for a long time, I realized that there was nothing wrong with the account book of the brick kiln.
However, our brick kiln is not a good brick and tile, and the price is cheap, and many people in other villages can't buy it if they want to.
Then, I asked someone to find a relationship to line up to grab it, and my good sister-in-law quietly accepted the benefits from others, and then put these people who gave the benefits to the front to pick up the goods.
My eldest brother was still in the dark about this, and we looked for it, but he didn't believe it at first, and then threatened his sister-in-law, saying that if she didn't tell the truth, she would report to the official, and the sister-in-law finally spit out.
In the past two years, she has taken nearly 100 taels of benefits, and my eldest brother was so angry that he was about to divorce his wife on the spot, and he made up for the 100 taels back to us, and said that he had no face to do it again, so he simply quit."
In the end, Hu Yiniu became more and more guilty, how much did their old Hu family drag his sister-in-law back, he felt very uncomfortable, and felt that he would not be able to support her sister-in-law well in the future.
"What do the third brothers say?"
"How else can I say it, everyone gave me face, and didn't pursue my eldest brother's matter, brother-in-law, I'm really sorry for this, on weekdays, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are still quite honest, especially my father-in-law."
"Big brother, I can't blame you, hey, as soon as life is good, people's hearts will float, it's normal!"
"But it's not, my sister-in-law, in the past two years, have been carried away, Xiaoshan and her mother have muttered how many times, but people have never listened to the persuasion, and now even my daughter-in-law has no face, they will definitely come home later, you should say it, don't care about my face!"
"Look at what the eldest brother said, this is my father-in-law's family, can I make my father shameless during the Chinese New Year?"
"Hey, I'm sorry for you."
Heiwa is okay, they are all scene people, Zhao Xiucai took Zhao Qingshan to apologize in person, Heiwa looked at the face of her father-in-law and eldest brother, said a few polite words, and it passed.
Cuihua was a little miserable here, and was held by Zhao Sanniang's mother.
"Aunt Xiaochuan, this is really my greedy daughter-in-law's mistake, I beat and scolded, if it weren't for watching her give birth to my grandchildren, I would have let her go back to my hometown!
Yes
Don't worry about your sister-in-law, Xiaochuan and his mother went back to their parents' house, and they all cried a lot, how much light did our family stain our in-laws, but the door is clear, you want to blame, blame me for not teaching my daughter-in-law well!"
Zhao Qingshan's daughter-in-law, Qian, lowered her head and shrank in the corner, and no one paid attention to her.
Cuihua's hand was clenched tightly by Aunt Zhao, so she had to pat the back of her hand: "Auntie, what does this matter have to do with my sister-in-law?" Our sister-in-law hasn't blushed in years, don't worry!"
Cuihua thought to herself: You keep taking my sister-in-law out repeatedly, are you really afraid that I will blame, or do you want me to ignore it for my sister-in-law's sake?
"Hey, that's good, that's good!" As if she had completed her important task, Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and yelled at her daughter-in-law, "What are you still doing there?"
Zhao Qingshan's daughter-in-law came over slowly, and made a gesture to kneel down for Cuihua, but Cuihua's face turned cold:
"Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, our family doesn't have such rules, if I really put on the countess's score, you will have to kowtow every time you see me!"
Qian's newly bent legs had to stand up straight again, and he muttered, "Aunt Xiaochuan, this matter is my lard blindfolded heart, and all the mistakes are my fault alone, please forgive me for Xiaochuan's sake."
"Sister-in-law, in fact, I don't care if I forgive or not, although the brick kiln was built by Xiaochuan's uncle, but it was run by my husband's second brother and third brother and my mother's third brother, as long as they don't care, I have nothing to say."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family saw Cuihua's attitude, it was not easy for them to say other requests, I was really afraid that people would get angry, and they didn't hear everyone say the etiquette of seeing Mrs. Bo?
The Zhang family didn't get involved at all, she was also angry, there was such a good daughter-in-law left, but her mother's family had this incident again, and the whole army was wiped out!
If it weren't for the fact that the second child was going to marry a wife this year, she would have been able to get angry for the New Year.
Zhao Xiucai's family left without eating, and the Hu family's lunch today was also very rich, and Daddy Hu deliberately killed a sheep, and the mutton soup and lamb chops were made that fragrant.
After the meal, everyone's focus was on Hu Erniu's next appointment, because it was so far away, the Hu family planned to hold a wedding in the old house in the downstream village, and then bring their daughter-in-law back to the capital after the marriage.
However, the next hire of Daddy Hu and Zhang's will definitely go to Chengdu Mansion, and they still need to find a matchmaker.
Regarding the dowry, Hu Erniu said this:
"Daddy, you have already married a daughter-in-law for me in your hometown before, and you haven't missed the dowry or anything.
Our family is also separated, and this time the son must marry a wife by himself, no matter how much, the son will do his best to marry a wife.
The son also told his father-in-law's family about this, and they did not dislike the son's low dowry.
So, you can follow your son back to your hometown with peace of mind and wait for your daughter-in-law's tea!"
Heiwa didn't expect that her second brother, after going through these bad things, would know how to be sympathetic to her parents, she was really sensible!
Father Hu and Zhang's thought about it and agreed, the eldest daughter-in-law really didn't give much dowry back then, and Jiang Laidi spent the most, and now she is marrying a high-ranking daughter-in-law.
"Second brother, the porcelain in the dowry, my brother-in-law has wrapped it for you! The eldest brother and the third brother's family, and the brother-in-law will also make up for your family!"
"Hehe, then the second brother will thank my brother-in-law!" Hu Erniu is not polite, his brother-in-law's family is thick, he has too much money, and he is not overwhelmed by debts.
"Haha, we got the second brother's light, and we got my brother-in-law's porcelain for nothing, and we earned it!"
Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu are happy, their brother-in-law must be unable to run away from blue and white porcelain, this set is worth a lot now, the key is that money may not be able to buy it!
The blue and white porcelain that cannot be easily purchased by others is really not difficult for the founder of Heiwa, and he plans to make a few sets in the R&D center in person after the year.
On the first day of Xia Hongdi's New Year's Day, Zhong Qinbo entered the palace, first reported the complete plan of this year's low-rent housing, and after being approved, he said that he would give it to himself in the R&D center
The second brother-in-law, who is about to marry his daughter-in-law, makes several sets of porcelain.
Xia Hongdi was speechless, what kind of trivial matter is this, and he still needs to make a report? Nod!
In the end, Heiwa applied to her brother-in-law and two younger brothers, saying that she wanted to transfer them back to work at the Royal Ceramics R&D Center in the capital.
Xia Hongdi was puzzled: "Why is this? I heard that they are doing very well in Jiangliufu and Shudi!"
"Your Majesty, although these blue and white porcelain and tile patterns can indeed be used for many years, as long as the research and development stops, they are eating the old book, and they are also simple-minded, and they can do some manual work, and they are more at ease under the nose of the minister."
"There's something in your words! If you want to say it, just say it!" Xia Hongdi didn't believe it, these crafts were said to have been taught by Zhongqinbo, and the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were worse than them.
"Uh, Your Majesty, this and this."
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!"
Heiwa was helpless, he really didn't want to sue, but the emperor had a lot more eyes than him, and people didn't believe in such excuses.
As soon as his eyes were closed, he had to tell a few of them what they had encountered in the ceramics workshop and the tile workshop, and then summarized:
"A few of them are not saints, it's okay if the time is short, but after a long time, they may be corrupted by someone one day!
If you really bring back a few little brothers and daughters-in-law to the minister, will there still be Ning Ri in the minister's house? Brothers and daughters-in-law still have to complain about the job I found for them?
I don't want to challenge human nature, so let's put an end to it at the source!"
Xia Hongdi was speechless, is this a matter of drinking some flower wine and sleeping with a few flower girls? In the eyes of Zhong Qinbo, is this matter more serious than the collusion between those magistrates and the pottery supervisors?
It's really true, not only is he raking his ears, but he also asks his younger brothers to rake the same!
He thought about it more, he still had the cement mill where he was making money every day, and those people in the toilet and bathtub shop might be more serious than that
The more I thought about it, the worse my face became, and there was a fire burning in my heart, so I agreed to Heiwa's proposal without saying a word, and let him get out.
After hearing that after the year, Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San can continue to go to work in the R&D center of Dali Village, and the happiest ones are Ma and his two daughters-in-law.
This year's second child is very promising!
Because Lao Yuan still has to continue to make puzzles after the first year, in addition to the three and four heads who go to school in the house, the Ma, Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San families simply live together in the small courtyard of Dali Village, so that the men don't have to go back to the city after work every day.
In this way, Hu Sanniu, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan also have time to manage the brick kiln management problems that they were worried about before, and they can manage them personally.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Metropolitan Procuratorate received Xia Hongdi's secret order, and more than 30 people left Beijing and went to Jiangliufu, Ludi, Lingnan, and Shudi.
