Chapter Thirty-Eight: Kiss and Kiss

Recently, Hu Xiucai was laughing from ear to ear, because his wife was pregnant again.

The first-born old man finished his pulse, said nothing vaguely, and gave birth to a daughter. This time, he finished taking the pulse, but he clearly told him that he was a boy, and he had a successor to Hu Hai!

Since Li Maixiang gave birth to her first child, the family has returned to normal order, and there is no estrangement between the concubines. The sister-in-law also took out the appearance of being a sister-in-law, and when Li Maixiang was pregnant with her second child, she often helped her do some manual work at home.

The relationship between people is sometimes really strange, if you have been held down by others, you will take it for granted, but you can accept it and stop the heart of victory. Once you have the opportunity to turn over, it's like a different person, how can you do something unexpected.

is like two colleagues who cooperate tacitly at work and have a good relationship in private, once they have an opportunity to be promoted, they immediately become opponents and tear each other down.

Once the dust settles on promotion, some can get back together, and normal competition will not hurt. Some have become lifelong enemies because of this, and even destroyed one of them, which makes people sigh.

Li Maixiang and her concubine got back together, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law were the happiest, but their preference for the younger son and his wife was less, "the palms and backs of the hands were full of meat", and they basically leveled a bowl of water.

Under the care of the whole family, Xiao Zhengying is almost three years old, she looks like a little adult, not like a three-year-old child at all, and can often help her mother do what she can.

Xiao Zhengying still doesn't smile, but it doesn't affect her beauty and cuteness. Maybe it's because the resentment in the previous life is too deep, and the influence on her in the subconscious, maybe it's that her calamity and ordeal are not over, this is her fear of the future.

Li Maixiang gave birth to a big fat boy again, this coke broke Hu Hai, and he ran to his father-in-law's house to report the good news.

Hu Hai's father-in-law, Li Xiucai, was also very happy this time, and took the initiative to ask to participate in this banquet, and also offered suggestions to let Hu Hai hold the "Ten Dynasties" this time, so that relatives and friends from a little farther away could also participate, and it was lively and lively.

As the saying goes: "Three dynasties that make money, birthdays that lose money." ”

Hu Hai naturally wished that his son's banquet would be more lively, and the more people who came, the more gifts he would get.

Although Hu Hai does not mean patriarchy, it does not mean that others do not. The scene of the son's "Ten Dynasties" this time is so big that it is rare even in Hujiawan. Compared with the daughter's "Three Dynasties" banquet, it is more than several times more lively!

Hu Xiucai's father-in-law sat high in the "East Corner", full of spirit and high talk, showing his erudition and talent, which attracted bursts of flattery from the people at the table.

On the contrary, Li Mengxi, who was in the limelight during Hu Hai's daughter's "Three Dynasties" last time, was a low-eyed and pleasing appearance this time, never spoke, and occasionally took a sip of wine when he ate.

Hu Xiucai's father-in-law and eldest brother are typical "father and son are like enemies", maybe Li Xiucai's expectations for his son are too high, maybe his education method is unacceptable to his son, anyway, their father and son just look at each other unpleasantly.

Li Mengxi complained to his brother-in-law more than once:

"I can't figure it out, I don't know a single word next door, I never do heavy work, I am idle on weekdays, and I talk to my parents with an urn. But his father not only did not scold, but also left the delicious food and drink for his son to eat. Although he has not been admitted to the Tongsheng examination for more than ten years, he can be regarded as a scholar, he is knowledgeable and reasonable on weekdays, and he takes care of the affairs of the family in an orderly manner.

In Hu Xiucai's opinion, now the mood of the father-in-law and the eldest brother has been a little reversed recently, and it used to be the father-in-law who hated the eldest brother but not steel, and often blamed him.

Maybe it's because the father-in-law has been extremely disappointed in his eldest brother, maybe it's because he is older and sees everything, and now he can talk to his son with a pleasant face.

However, the more my uncle took the children's exam, although he did not make great progress in his studies, the more things he heard, and he gradually became more demanding of his father.

Today, someone said: "The kid who has been taking the Tongsheng exam with him for more than ten years, because his father became an official, not only passed the boy's exam this time, but was also named a showman!"

Tomorrow, someone will say: "The son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, who doesn't know a few big characters, suddenly passed three levels in a row!"

In comparison, the scholar who was named a talent is a familiar acquaintance of Li Mengxi, and he doesn't think that others are better than himself, but that his father is stronger than his father.

He gritted his teeth in anger: "How can I have such a useless father? If he can be promoted to the Jinshi as an official, won't he be able to become a showman!"

The eldest brother was very resentful of his father-in-law's incompetence in his heart, and he often quarreled with his father without scruples at home, which made Hu Hai a little worried.

Fortunately, Li Xiucai's family is a scholarly family after all, and after this banquet, their father and son seem to be father and son, and there is no such scene of father and son quarreling at home.

Thinking of the things about his father-in-law and eldest brother, Hu Xiucai could only smile bitterly, the second Ah Er next door to his father-in-law's house, Hu Hai also knew, it was purely a fool.

Li Mengxi looked like a very smart person, why did he have to compare his father with the secretary of the court? And compare himself with a fool! It is really strange!

Hu Xiucai thought of his children, his chest was full of tenderness, and his understanding of his father was deeper.

My eldest brother is also a person with children, so why can't he compare his heart with his heart? Understand his father's strict demands on him!

There was only one banquet in the "Ten Dynasties", and after it was over, most of the people said goodbye and returned home.

There are also relatives who are far away from home and rarely come back, so they will stay at home for a day or two.

The daughter of the Hu family is beautiful and well-known in this area. Hu Hai has a distant cousin named Hu Mei, because she is beautiful, she married into the Xia family, a big family in Xiangzhou Mansion, and she is a person with a lot of status in the family, and every time she goes home, the old patriarch has to meet in person.

This time, I went home to visit relatives and brought a son who was more than a year older than Hu Hai's daughter, just in time for Hu Hai's son to run the "Ten Dynasties", so I had to give a heavy gift to join in the fun.

Hu Mei looked at this charming niece, it is rare that she is very smart and sensible, and she always lets her cousin when she plays, which makes her love it very much.

In line with the idea of "fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", Hu Mei moved the idea of marriage.

In this small and secluded place, intermarriage between the same surname, that is, between cousins and sisters, is absolutely not allowed. But it is not forbidden to marry between aunts and cousins, which is here dubbed "kiss on kiss!"

Doll parents here are also relatively common, but all families with status will set a baby parent for their children in advance, most of them know the roots, and they are the right people.
