The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 155 New Year's Eve
Except for his father-in-law's family, Uncle Zhongqin let go last year, so he will not go out to pay New Year's greetings in the future.

The New Year's greetings and social activities during the Chinese New Year in the Yuan Mansion were all left to the daughter-in-law.

Cuihua and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu became the spokespersons of Uncle Zhongqin's residence. The two Xiao Douding, who were dressed in exactly the same clothes, were tied by their unscrupulous mothers.

From the 80-year-old Feng Jun to the one-year-old doll, there is no one who does not care about them, and whoever receives the red envelope is soft-hearted.

Even Cai Jijiu's restaurant was not spared, and he used the new sharp turn to make things difficult for Cai Jijiu, making Cai Jijiu want to hide when he saw the two kids.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the aunt of the Hu family came back to visit her mother's house.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law! Xiao Liu is here to pay New Year's greetings!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, followed by two dogs returning to their natal home.

"Come on, come on!" Father Hu and Mrs. Zhang hurried out, and Father Hu hugged Xiao Wu into his arms first.

Xiao Wu smiled at Mimi, and put his arms around Papa Hu's neck, "Happy Chinese New Year, father-in-law!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, is our little five getting heavier again? In a few years, my father-in-law won't be able to hold her!"

"In a few years, I'll hug my father-in-law!"

"Hahaha, my good grandson, why are you so filial!"

Father Hu is really blatantly partial. Among his children, he likes the youngest daughter Cuihua the most, and among his grandchildren, he is the rarest grandson, Xiaowu, who has inherited the great strength of the Hu family.

Mrs. Zhang is rare for the sweet-mouthed and eccentric Xiaoliu. When the child sees his mother-in-law, he whispers affectionately and tells her how many red envelopes he has won this year, so that he can buy a lot of food.

The men gathered together to chat, but seeing the stiff face of the brother-in-law, Hei Wa probably guessed it, and found a secluded place.

Hei Wa asked bluntly, "Brother, what's going on?"

Hu Yiniu blushed: "My eldest brother and I found my uncle, and after asking for a long time, I found out that there is nothing wrong with the account books of the brick kiln.

However, our brick and tile kiln produces good bricks and tiles, and the price is cheap. Many people in other villages can't buy them even if they want to.

Then, I asked someone to find a relationship to line up to grab the goods. My good sister-in-law quietly took the benefits from others, and then queued those who gave the benefits to the front to pick up the goods.

My uncle was still in the dark about this matter. We found it, but he didn't believe it at first, and later threatened my sister-in-law, saying that if she didn't tell the truth, she would report to the police, and my sister-in-law finally vomited.

In the past two years, she took nearly a hundred taels of benefits. My uncle was so angry that he wanted to divorce his wife on the spot. He even gave the 100 taels back to us. He also said that he had no face to do it any more, so he quit his job altogether. up. "

When it came to the end, Hu Yiniu felt more and more guilty. How much their old Hu family had dragged his sister back. He felt very uncomfortable, and felt that he would not be able to support her sister properly in the future.

"What about the third brother and the others?"

"What can I say, everyone gave me face and didn't pursue my brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry about this matter. On weekdays, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are quite honest, especially my father-in-law."

"Brother, I can't blame you for this. Hey, when life gets better, people's hearts will float. It's very normal!"

"Isn't that right? My sister-in-law has been so complacent in the past two years. Xiaoshan's mother has whispered so many times, but she has never listened to persuasion. Now she is ashamed to bring my wife. Later, they will definitely If you come home, you can say what you have to say, but don't worry about my face!"

"Look at what elder brother said, this is my father-in-law's house, can I embarrass my father during Chinese New Year?"

"Hey, it's hard for you."

Hei Wa is okay, they are all people on the scene, Zhao Xiucai brought Zhao Qingshan to apologize in person, Hei Wa looked at his father-in-law and uncle, politely said a few words, and then passed.

Cuihua was in a bit of a misery, because Zhao Sanniang's mother held her hand tightly.

"Aunt Xiaochuan, this is really the fault of my greedy daughter-in-law. I beat and scolded. If it weren't for seeing her give birth to my grandchildren, I would have let her Go back home!
Just don't make your sister-in-law angry. Xiao Chuan's mother cried a lot when she went back to her natal home. Our family has a lot of glory with the in-laws, but the door is clear. If you want to blame it, blame me, the old woman, for not giving her daughter-in-law Teach well! "

Zhao Qingshan's daughter-in-law, Qian Shi, huddled in a corner with her head down, and no one paid any attention to her.

Cuihua's hand was tightly held by Aunt Zhao, so she had to pat the back of her hand: "Auntie, what does this have to do with my sister-in-law? Our sister-in-law hasn't blushed all these years, don't worry !"

Cuihua thought to herself: You keep bringing out my sister-in-law repeatedly, are you really afraid that I will blame you, or do you want me to ignore it for the sake of my sister-in-law?
"Hey, that's good, that's good!" Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief as if she had completed her important task, and shouted at her daughter-in-law: "What are you still doing there?"

Only then did Zhao Qingshan's daughter-in-law come over slowly, making a gesture to kneel down to Cuihua, Cuihua's face turned cold:
"Sister-in-law, please speak up if you have something to say. Our family doesn't like rules. If I really play the role of the countess, you will have to kowtow every time you see me!"

Qian's legs that had just been bent had to stand straight again, and said in a murmur, "Aunt Xiaochuan, I was deceived by lard about this matter, all mistakes are my own fault, please look at Xiaochuan's fault." For your sake, forgive me once."

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. Although the brick kiln was built by Xiao Chuan's uncle, it was later run by my husband's second and third brothers and my natal third brother. They don't care, and I have nothing to say."

Seeing Cuihua's attitude, Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't make any other requests. I'm afraid they will get angry. Haven't I heard anyone say the etiquette when meeting Mrs. Uncle?
Mrs. Zhang didn't interfere at all, and she was also angry. There was only such a good daughter-in-law left, and yet another incident happened to her natal family, and the whole army was wiped out!
If she hadn't been sweetened by the fact that her second child was going to marry a wife this year, maybe she would be so angry when it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhao Xiucai's family left without eating, and Hu's family had a very rich lunch today. Father Hu deliberately killed a sheep, and the lamb soup and lamb chops were delicious.

After the meal, everyone focused on the matter of Hu Erniu's betrothal, because it was far away, and the Hu family planned to hold the wedding at the old house in the downstream village, and then bring their daughter-in-law back to the capital after marriage.

However, Mr. Hu and Mrs. Zhang will definitely go to Chengdu Mansion for the next hire, and they still need to find a matchmaker.

Regarding the dowry, Hu Erniu said this:
"Father and mother, you have already married a daughter-in-law for me in your hometown before, and you didn't miss the dowry or anything.

Our family can be regarded as a separated family. This time the son married a wife, he must pay the bride price 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 didn't dislike the lack of dowry.

So, you just follow your son back to your hometown with peace of mind, and just wait for your daughter-in-law's tea! "

Hei Wa didn't expect that her second brother-in-law, after going through all these bad things, would understand how to be sympathetic to his parents, really sensible!
Father Hu and Mrs. Zhang thought about it, and agreed. The eldest daughter-in-law did not give much dowry back then, and it was Jiang Laidi who spent the most. Now that she is married to a high-ranking daughter-in-law, it is true that if they want to give a dowry again, they will have to quarrel.

"Second brother, my brother-in-law will pack the porcelain for you in the dowry gift! My brother-in-law will also make up for your family as well!"

"Hey, the second brother will thank my brother-in-law!" Hu Erniu was not polite, his brother-in-law's family was rich, he had too much wealth, and the debts were too heavy.

"Haha, we got all of our second brother's money, and we even got our brother-in-law's porcelain for nothing. We made money!"

Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu were happy, their brother-in-law made a move, and the blue and white porcelain must not be able to escape. This set is worth a lot of money now, the key is that if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!

Blue and white porcelain, which is not easy to buy for others, is really not difficult for Heiwa, the founder. He plans to make a few sets in the R&D center in the next year.

On the first day after Xia Hongdi came to court, Uncle Zhongqin entered the palace. He first reported the complete plan for this year's low-rent housing. Brother to do a few sets of porcelain and so on.

Xia Hongdi was speechless. What kind of trivial matter does this need to make a report?nod!
In the end, Hei Wa applied to her brother-in-law and two younger brothers, saying that she wanted to transfer them back to work at the Royal Ceramics Research and Development Center in Beijing.

Xia Hongdi was puzzled: "Why is this? I heard that they did a good job in Jiangliufu and Shu!"

"Your Majesty, although these patterns of blue and white porcelain and ceramic tiles can indeed be used for many years, as long as the research and development stop, they will be living on their laurels. They are also simple-minded, and they can still do some handicraft work. Put it under the nose of the minister. , and feel more at ease."

"There's something in your words! If you want to say it, say it clearly!" Xia Hongdi didn't believe it. It is said that these crafts were taught by Uncle Zhongqin, and the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were worse than them.

"Uh, Your Majesty, this and this"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to the point!"

Heiwa was helpless, he really didn't intend to sue, but the emperor was much smarter than him, people would not believe such an excuse.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I had to talk about what they encountered in the ceramic workshop and the ceramic tile workshop, and then concluded:
"The few of them are not saints. It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, they may be corrupted someday!
If you really bring back a few younger sisters-in-law for Chen, will there be peace in Chen's family?Brothers and daughters-in-law don't have to complain about the job I found for them?

I don't want to challenge human nature, let's stop it from the source! "

Xia Hongdi was speechless. Is this a matter of drinking some flower wine and sleeping with some flower girls?In Uncle Zhongqin's eyes, is this matter more serious than the collusion between those local officials and pottery supervisors?
It's true, not only is he raking his ears, but he also asks his younger brothers to do the same!
He thinks more, he still has a cement workshop that is making money every day, and those people in the toilet and bathtub workshop may be more serious than this
The more he thought about it, the worse his complexion became. There was a fire burning in his heart, and he agreed to Hei Wa's proposal without saying a word, and let him go.

After hearing this, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan can continue to work in the R&D center in Dali Village, and the happiest ones are Mrs. Ma and her two daughters-in-law.

This year's second child is very hopeful!

Because old Yuan will continue to make jigsaw puzzles after the first year, except for the three and four who go to school in the house, the Ma family, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan simply live back together in the small courtyard of Dali Village. , so that men don't have to go back to the city after get off work every day.

In this way, Hu Sanniu, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan also had time to manage the brick kiln management problem that they were worried about before. Will not.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Metropolitan Procuratorate received a secret order from Xia Hongdi, and more than [-] people left Beijing for Jiangliufu, Ludi, Lingnan, and Shudi.
