Chapter 51
Mrs. Xiao did not insist on reporting to the official, she had to leave as soon as possible to go to the capital, there was no time to delay.

Now that the water and land routes are smooth, we have to leave Pingyang County before the official announcement is issued, otherwise, if there is a chaos, no one knows what will happen on the road.

But this meal is bound to be delicious, and then rush back to the pier overnight after eating.

"Father, grandma, let's sit down and talk."

Xiao Ningxue held Xiao Shan in her left hand, and Mrs. Xiao in her right hand, with a bright smile on her face.

She was happier than anyone else that her father had found his family, and the old grandmother was even nicer and more loving than she thought. Such a family relationship deserves to be protected by her.

"Yes, yes, come and sit down."

The clansmen also came to support one after another, sat down around Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Shan, and then chatted about the daily life.

Sai Qiliang came over and patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder.

"Xiao Shan, our Sai family didn't know the truth before, and we didn't dare to say a word when we saw you being treated harshly by Mrs. Xiao. I'm really sorry. Now we are a family, so feel free to talk about anything in the future."

Xiao Zhenwang was also full of guilt, and stepped forward with a sigh.

"Xiao Shan, after all, our Xiao family is sorry for you. I, Xiao Zhenwang, owe you this debt!" Xiao Shan hurriedly stood up, looking at Xiao Zhenwang gratefully,
"Cousin, don't say that, I owe you all."

"When I was six years old, I had a sudden high fever. If my cousin hadn't braved the snow to send me to the town to see a doctor, how could I survive?"

"When I was young, I had no food or clothes. Who in the clan never gave me food? Clothes and shoes to protect me from the cold? I remember all these kindnesses."

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help wiping away her tears after hearing these words, her son really grew up in bitter water, Du Mudan, a poisonous woman, should be cut to death!
Isn't Xiao Ningxue the same as Xiao Shan? She received innumerable kindness from the Xiao clan and looked at Xiao Zhenwang with a smile on her face.

"Grandpa patriarch, although my father has a wrong hug, his surname is also Xiao. We are a family anyway."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's words were opened.

"Not bad, everyone's surname is Xiao, and we were originally a family."

"The Xiao surname in Dingxi and our Xiao surname in Ding'an County share the same ancestor."

"Yes, yes, the surname Xiao of Taohua Village escaped from Dingxi, and it is a brother branch."

"The genealogy is the same, and the arrangement of generations is also the same. I am from the Zhenzi generation, Chunhua, the man you married seems to be from the Zhenzi generation too?"

Mrs. Xiao also showed a smile, her expression relaxed.

"Yes, my master's name is Zhen Guo, and he is of the same generation as Brother Zhen Wang."

Once this topic is opened, there will be endless things to talk about. What is the ancestor with the surname Xiao more than 200 years ago, with five wives and concubines, and the surname Xiao in Dingxi is the main family, and there are several concubines in other villages and counties descendants of the room.

After talking about these gossips, the food and wine were served, and everyone ate and drank happily and chatted enthusiastically.

Mrs. Xiao kept adding vegetables to Xiao Shan, for fear that he would eat less.

Looking at the bowl full of vegetables, Xiao Shan's eyes became foggy again.

He has become a servant since he is, except for Maid Xue who is willing to eat at the same table with him, the others, including his wife, even separate the bowls and chopsticks from him.

Now his biological mother is not only willing to sit at the same table with him, but also serve him food.

He wanted to hold two chopsticks for his mother, but he was afraid that his mother would dislike him.

I never thought Mrs. Xiao looked at him with tears in her eyes, "My son, mother likes to eat egg rolls, you can get two yuan for mother!"

"Hey, mother!" Xiao Shan's nose soured, and he carefully sandwiched two pieces of egg rolls, fearing that they might be broken, he was very careful.Mrs. Xiao stuffed them into her mouth one by one, and chewed heavily.

"The food my son brings to his mother is the most delicious food in the world."

These words moved Xiao Shan, a filial son, to tears, "Mother, my son will honor you well in the future." "I will also honor my grandmother and my father well."

Xiao Ningxue also answered the conversation with a smile, and picked out a few pieces of boneless chicken for her father and grandmother, which aroused everyone's praise.

The mother and son also have endless things to say, from the two or three years old to the current situation.

Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi pouted when they heard this, and moved aside to whisper.

"It's all right now, the powerful aunt is gone, and there is a cheap uncle who works as a coward and an annoying cousin."

"Isn't it? I don't know if my aunt will recognize us after arriving in the capital. It's really unlucky." Over there, Xiao Shan talked about picking up a husband-in-law for his daughter Xiao Ningxue on the side of the road and getting engaged!
Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi covered their mouths and laughed.

"The son-in-law can still use it? Isn't this too ridiculous?"

"Isn't it? I don't know if the man I picked up is a human or a ghost, and whether I can see people."

"It's not too embarrassing for you to dare to say it everywhere."

Mrs. Xiao heard the two of them giggling and came over with a look at the knife. "Zhilan Zhixi, why don't you hurry up and meet your fourth uncle?"

No matter how unwilling Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi were, they did not dare to contradict Mrs. Xiao, so they could only put away their disdain and ridicule, walked to Xiao Shan and gave a respectful blessing.

"Zhilan/Zhixi has seen fourth uncle, cousin Ningxue."

Xiao Shan hurriedly put down his chopsticks, asked his sister-in-law Sai for two pieces of red paper, wrapped up the only two taels of silver in red paper, and gave it to Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi.

"Fourth Uncle didn't buy any presents, this little red envelope is just a welcome gift, Fourth Uncle's kindness." "Thank you Fourth Uncle."

No matter how disgusted Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi were, she didn't dare to show it in public. After receiving it, she went back to her seat and secretly threw it to the maid beside her.

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly dragged Xiao Ningxue's hand, "Look at me, my old lady, my memory is not ordinary." She said that she pulled the golden bird on her head and put it in Xiao Ningxue's hand.

"This is a meeting gift from the old grandmother. Does Xue girl like it?" Seeing this, Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi's eyes almost popped out.

This Bu Yao was a congratulatory gift from my aunt from the capital for my grandmother's [-]th birthday. I heard that it was given by the Empress. One can imagine how precious it is!
Never thought that the old grandmother would give it to a country girl who had only met for less than a day?
As poor as she is, she also wears such expensive jewelry?
Originally, she thought the dishes and chopsticks in the country were dirty and the food was not particular, but she was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore, so Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Zhixi simply put down the chopsticks and left the table.

During this meal, the clansmen talked and laughed, and had a great time.

At the table of the village chief and the patriarchs of various ethnic groups, everyone also started eating and drinking.

Wang, Xiao, Sai, Zhang, and Zhao, these five surnames are the most common surnames in Taohua Village, accounting for [-]% of the village's population.

Of course, there are also some minor surnames, but any major event in the village is decided by the five major surnames after discussion.

Wang Yonggui is the head of the village and the patriarch with the surname Wang, and is usually the leader of the village.

Among the five, he was also the youngest, 45 to [-] years old, with a thick gray beard, and he was slowly picking up vegetables and drinking.

Where does Sai Qiliang have the appetite to eat and drink? Dingxi is about to fall, and his homeland is about to be lost~~ He even drank two bowls of boring wine and glanced at everyone.

"Old brothers, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?"
