"I don't know what Grandpa was going to say that day, it seems that some time ago, the uncle and the aunt came back every day for a while, and I don't know if it has something to do with that time."

In the evening, Shen Luzhu spread the futon on the side, chatting with Chu Yi, who had just returned to the house with hot water.

Chu Yi thought about it, there is nothing at home that needs to be all present to say anything, maybe his wife is right, it must be closely related to the uncle's family: "Next year seems to be the year of the imperial examination, maybe it has something to do with it." ”

"Chu Yi, if you go to the exam, do you need a lot of silver, more than going to a private school to study?"

Shen Luzhu's mother's brothers also studied when they were young, and even she herself was taken by Shen Grandpa and personally led to learn a lot, but no one in the Shen family has ever participated in the imperial examination, Shen Luzhu always listens to Chu Grandma muttering on weekdays, and has to keep the silver for Chu Ren to study, and now Chu Yi said that next year is the year of the imperial examination, so he guessed if Chu Ren was short of silver for the exam, and Grandpa Chu was so prosperous.

To be honest, Chu Yi really doesn't know very well, but judging from the performance of Grandpa, Grandma and Wang's family over the years, it must have been supported by emptying the family every time!

"It should be, I don't know the specifics, I just know that I have to rush to Fucheng to prepare a long time in advance, what does Azhu think?" Chu Yi saw his wife frowning slightly, and asked softly after reaching out to smooth her out.

"Chu Yi, you say, what Grandpa wants to say, can it be that the lobby brother is going to take the exam, and the uncle doesn't have the money there! If Grandpa really mentioned it on the day of the New Year, let's have to come up with a little? ”

moved a chair from Chu Yi, sat face to face with Shen Luzhu, reached out to help his wife take off her shoes and socks, and then the little couple soaked their feet with a basin of water.

Shen Luzhu sat on the edge of the kang and continued to say to himself: "Although this is a serious matter, the uncle's family is too annoying on weekdays, and they don't want to give it much!" ”

Chu Yi looked at his wife who was worried about this little thing, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and teased her with his foot to put water on his wife's calf: "Then don't give it, the silver is our own, let's have the final say!" ”

"Hmmm! It seems that we will have to save some more silver in the future. ”

"Do what?"

"Of course, I am preparing to read for Ali in the future, I think he likes to read and practice calligraphy, even if he does not participate in the imperial examination, it is not a bad thing to read more books, and ah, the two younger ones will have to marry in the future, and the dowry and dowry must not be prepared! You, a brother, have never thought about this! ”

Shen Luzhu said, his feet stepped on the water in the basin, and deliberately got a lot on Chu Yi's legs, as if he was punishing his careless brother, Chu Yi chuckled and sat there, letting his wife make trouble, only occasionally fighting back, the little couple had a lot of fun, and when they soaked their feet, only half a basin of water was left, all of which were contributed to the ground in the house.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, commonly known as the small year, legend has it that on this day the king of the stove will temporarily leave the world, until Chinese New Year's Eve and then return to the world, the heavenly court to the Jade Emperor to inform every household of the merit and crime of this year, on this day every household will be on the stove grain, sake and stove sugar and other things, and then burn a pile of paper money, and then the whole family will eat the stove sugar, with the stove sugar to smear the mouth of the stove king, seeking the meaning of the stove king's "heavenly words and good deeds".

There are children at home, when Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were preparing these things, they deliberately bought more, the stove sugar was crispy and crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and it was not particularly sweet and greasy, so it was just right for the two little ones to eat as snacks.

It's not the same as before, Uncle Chu's family came to the door early today, Chu Ren and Li are okay, there is not much difference from the past, but Uncle Chu and Wang are as happy as anything, especially Wang, even Shen Luzhu has been smiling today, not to mention how good the attitude is.

Shen Luzhu was a little suspicious for a while, could Uncle Chu and the Wang family be pierced by the soul? This joy is not like a posture of not making money together, and trying to make up silver for Chu Ren!

Soon, Shen Luzhu's doubts were answered at the dinner table in the evening.

Seeing that the family was sitting around the dinner table, Grandpa Chu cleared his throat and said, "Today, while everyone is here, I have something to say." The eldest family is about to return home, and we will live as a family in the future! ”

Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Yi in surprise and returned home? Is that what she thinks, reuniting after separation?

Chu Yi's always calm face also flashed a trace of incomprehension, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Third Uncle Chu ask first: "Daddy, what do you mean by returning?" ”

Grandma Chu glanced at the third son who was confused, and felt that he was really unenlightened: "Coming back is coming back, what else can it mean, it's just that the family is not separated, and it is the same as before!" ”

"Huh?"

Grandpa Chu stared at Third Uncle Chu and asked lightly, "Third brother, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Daddy......"

As soon as Uncle Chu's words began, he was interrupted by the Wang family, who had long been unable to hold back on the side: "What's the third brother, are you not welcome your eldest brother and sister-in-law, we used to live together well, what do you mean now?" ”

"It's not sister-in-law, daddy and auntie, why do you want to become a family? Our family was separated before, but we found the patriarch and the village chief to rewrite the family tree, and now we have to merge it again, so why should we talk to the patriarch and the people in the village when the time comes? ”

The Wang family was a little unhappy, feeling that Third Uncle Chu just didn't want them to go back to the old mansion, and moved the patriarch out: "Then I don't know what to say, our own affairs, which round of outsiders talk nonsense!" What is your own situation...... the third child?"

Chu Ren listened to what Wang said outrageously, and saw that Grandpa Chu's eyes had swept over, so he hurriedly stood up and stopped Wang, and explained: "Third uncle, Auntie didn't mean that, the reason why she wanted to return home was mainly because Grandpa and Grandma were getting older and older, and Grandpa and Grandma wanted to be close to take care of them, do their filial piety, and put them on the patriarch's side, and they wouldn't stop their children from doing their filial piety to their parents." ”

As soon as Chu Ren's words came out, no matter whether the people present believe it or not, they can't say that they don't agree, otherwise it will become a lack of virtue that prevents others from fulfilling their filial piety!

"But didn't you say that the craftsmanship of the family will affect Ah Ren's future imperial examinations, and now that you are back, the examination ...... next year?"

"This third uncle doesn't have to worry, now the imperial court has a very different idea from before, and now it is vigorously advocating the entry of civilian students, so there will be no bad influence in the future!"

"Oh, that's it......"

Uncle Chu didn't disagree with Uncle Chu's family coming back, but this happened too suddenly, and he always felt that his brother's family wanted to divide and merge like this, and he didn't make people feel that he was treating this matter as a child's play, and he might not be able to say something behind his back!

Grandpa Chu glanced at everyone at the dinner table and continued: "Since there are no opinions, then this matter is decided, the boss will tell me what you plan to do in the future!" ”

Uncle Chu nodded in response: "Hey, Daddy! We plan to go back to the old house as before, and the fields will be returned to the family to plant together, and now we live there was the family's coffin shop earlier, and it will be used as a shop in the future. ”

Grandpa Chu nodded, which was regarded as approving this arrangement, but Wang answered at this time: "The family naturally still has to live together, that is, Ah Ren had not yet married when the family was separated before, and Ah Zhi was still young at that time, and when he moved back, I am afraid that the house will not be enough." I thought, I still live in the side house with his father, Ah Ren and his family live in the previous house of Ah Ren, and Ah Zhi and Mingxuan live in one room, what do Daddy and Auntie think? ”

Grandma Chu really hadn't thought about this before: "Cheng is Cheng, it's just that there are only the two rooms you lived in before, how can there be a third room for Ah Zhi and Mingxuan?" ”

Wang smiled and looked at the little couple on the other side of the dinner table: "Isn't Ali Na living in a room by himself, it's better to let him live with Ah Yi and his family, or if Shen is unwilling, let him live with the third child." ”

Let Chu Li live with his brother and sister-in-law, Chu Li is naturally happy, but he is not stupid, how can he not see that the eldest aunt is bullying them, and shakes his head like a rattle: "No, no!" ”

"You kid, why are you so ignorant!"

Hearing this, Chu Yi directly straightened his face and said coldly: "The two rooms in the east chamber are the second room of my door, how did Ali come from and say that he is ignorant!" ”

"It's not like your parents are gone! Ah Li lives with his brother and sister-in-law, isn't it more convenient for you to take care of him, besides, if you don't want to, can't you live with his third uncle! ”

Shen Luzhu patted Chu Li's little head, turned his head and said to the Wang family: "Uncle Niang is still cautious about this, think about it carefully, otherwise I don't know what Uncle Niang means, our father and mother are gone, so they want to bully us!" ”

Chu Ren secretly glanced at his mother, he couldn't say anything to Shen, so he could only quietly kick Li under the table, and Li reacted instantly: "Brother and sister misunderstood......"

Who knew that Shen Luzhu didn't give the Li family a chance to make up for the Wang family at all, and continued: "It doesn't matter if I misunderstand or not, the important thing is that if outsiders know about this matter, people will not misunderstand." Could it be that when the time comes, the sister-in-law will go from house to house in the whole village to explain to others? ”

Wang felt that Shen Luzhu was threatening himself and wanted to poke things out, so he hurriedly said: "If you dare to go out and talk nonsense......

"What did I say, didn't the uncle say that? Besides, we are brothers and sisters-in-law who live in the same room with our brothers and are easy to take care of, and it is more convenient to take care of the eldest aunt and cousin-in-law, who are not sisters-in-law, who live with their sons! ”

"Brother and Sister ......"

Shen Luzhu didn't plan to listen to what the Wang family said to the Li family at all, and he didn't give them a chance to say: "My cousin also needs to be taken care of when he is studying, so it's better for the eldest aunt's family of six to live in one room, so it's convenient to take care of it, not to mention, and I can continue to use that room as a warehouse, isn't it, uncle!" ”

"Shen, don't deceive people too much!"

"Look, look, my nephew and daughter-in-law are just joking with my uncle, why is my aunt still in a hurry! Although it was my aunt who said that she would use those two rooms as a warehouse for me, I am not the shameless person! Naturally, those two rooms will be vacated for the uncle, so don't worry about the uncle! ”

Wang's face turned the color of pig liver when he was so angry that he pointed at Shen Luzhu's nose and shouted, "Shen, who do you say is shameless!" You wretch, you ......"

"How can my aunt misunderstand me so much, when did I say that my aunt is shameless! Not only will I not say it, but if someone outside says that the aunt is shameless to bully our juniors in the future, I will explain it for the aunt like my sister-in-law, and you can rest assured! ”

"You! You! You stinky ......."

If Chu Yi's two people didn't resist like this, then the Wang family would have to come down, Chu Ren would not do much to stop it, but in this situation, Chu Ren didn't want the Wang family to go on like this gaffe for this little profit, so he hurriedly stopped it: "Ah Niang!" ”
