Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

The new year is also the second day of the Lunar New Year. This day is also the day when married women take their husbands and children back to their parents’ homes to pay New Year greetings.

Going back to her parents' home on this day also starts from the perspective of seniority. Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year when Ma Shan enters the house, Mrs. Liu will take Gu Erzhu and her children back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.

Last year Zhou Banxia entered the family, and this year Ma Shan was pregnant for less than three months.

She first asked her two sons to accompany her daughter-in-law back to her parents' home today, and then the two brothers would like to do the same as their father and then take the time to visit their maternal home for New Year's greetings.

Unlike Gu Erzhu, who immediately took his wife, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law into the carriage to pay New Year greetings to his in-law's house when his two sons, daughter-in-law, and grandson left home, Zhou Shun himself did not visit his in-law's house.

He said he didn't bear grudges against his father-in-law, how could it be so humiliating? Then in order to get his daughter back, he even endured the humiliation and visited her, which ended up being even more hurtful.

If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Youtian and Dadi broke the rules and their uncle would still need to attend the banquet when the children got married, he wouldn't have let his two sons go to pay New Year's greetings.

This year I have even more excuses not to go on the second day of the new year.

Not only did his uncle come to pay New Year's greetings in the first year of his marriage, but this year he also had an eldest aunt, a second aunt, and an eldest sister who agreed to come to his house to pay New Year's greetings when he returned to his parents' home today.

In previous years, it was not Zhou Daya's first year of marriage. Even if she didn't go well on Thursday, Mrs. Li would take her son back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year and rush back before noon to entertain her uncle-in-law and grandson.

When Mrs. Li asked Dajiang to give New Year's gifts to her mother-in-law's family two years ago, he had agreed that she wouldn't even be able to leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so don't even think about going back early to receive her uncle.

Mrs. Li had previously felt that her head was being too unreasonable. She was so busy after the New Year and asked her to go back to her parents' home today, but she was too lazy to go there herself.

It’s not that there is no mule cart, and we have to walk back and forth on two legs, but even if the family separated before the adoption, it was not so busy on New Year’s Eve.

Like the "leftovers" prepared years ago, at most one table can be prepared to entertain the eldest daughter and uncle and their children to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Even this year, although the child's grandfather (Zhou Xiucai) and his family have said that they have prepared a lot of things to entertain the aunt, there is no way they can spare the preparation.

Although the child's father usually wanted to break a penny in half, this year he was willing to let her cook and stew all the pigs, sheep, chicken, and fish sent by his two daughters.

Then there was the ancestor worship. In previous years, she had to stay together with the rest of the family, which was really annoying, but she wasn't the eldest daughter-in-law, so she didn't see much work to do.

This year she didn't have to worry about being noticed by that group of people, but she was so busy that she didn't even have time to go to the market, and she was so busy with things at home and outside.

It was rare that he could get on the kang and rest early last night. He had to get up early in the morning before dawn. Fortunately, the child's aunt sent a cook to help her.

Speaking of which, she really envied her mother-in-law.

Since the eldest daughter-in-law bought a house with servants, her Sanya didn't want to buy two servants for her and her husband to take care of her, but the child's father refused to agree.

There are only a few people in the family, so there is a lot of work to be done, and buying people is a waste of money, and there are too many people to feed, clothe and pay monthly.

What she said made sense. She was stingy when it came to asking for ten thousand yuan. After buying a hundred acres of land, she still couldn't bear to spend an extra half a copper to let her relax.

The worst thing is!

On the twenty-seventh day of the year, her Sanya felt sorry for her that she was a tired mother, so she secretly gave her some money and asked her to go to the market the next day and just spend it.

She was caught by this bad man again and didn't tell her. What's more, he didn't even give her a copper!

Thursday Shun laughed.

Who said it was done secretly?

He didn't say that he had known that his daughter was running home alone at nightfall. He thought it was not just to give some broken silver, but he didn't know that there was a lot of copper coins hidden in the basket.

Amid laughter, Gu Wenxuan arrived with Zhou Banxia.

I came quite early, well before 9 o'clock. To avoid being caught by his brother-in-law, Gu Wenxuan also brought his mother-in-law a silver hairpin set with fine gemstones and a silver bracelet of the same style inlaid with fine gemstones.

Compared with Gu Erzhu who bought a silver hairpin for Mrs. Gu, his new uncle was more generous.

The New Year's gift prepared for Ms. Liu on New Year's Eve was a gold and one silver hairpin bracelet and earrings, which almost made Gu Erzhu and Mr. Liu make an exception and beat their children during the New Year.

It was Zhou Banxia who said that fine gemstones were worthless and she was afraid of losing them if they were too small, so she went to Zhaojia Silver House to customize them. Ms. Liu asked clearly if she had prepared them for her mother-in-law before accepting them.

At least they were prepared, but why did Li's gold earrings, gold hairpins, and gold bracelets disappear today? This must be said to be Zhou Banxia's "differential treatment."

My mother-in-law is not my biological mother after all.

If she really prepares the same amount of New Year's gifts for her mother, she is not a saint. As time goes by, she should mutter in her heart that she, the daughter-in-law, loves her mother's family.

She would rather give her father a piece of gold in private than be complained by her mother-in-law. When my old son was still relying on her, she didn't treat me better than her own mother.

Besides, she is such a show-off girl.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to accompany her father to the city once or twice for banquets during the first month, and her bald head was unsightly, she wouldn't even want to give him this silver hairpin and bracelet.

No, her father gave her and her couple lucky money, and when her uncle went out, he immediately took action.

"Get up quickly and don't put it on at home. Think about it, our family has just purchased a hundred acres of land, and if you put it on again, there won't be a thief coming to the door overnight."

Seeing that the third uncle had already left the upper room with his two sons and went to the study in the east wing, and his third daughter was the only one there, Thursday Shun quickly frightened his wife.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter.

Zhou Banxia smiled and nodded.

"Hey, I still don't believe you are the boss. How could we Sanya not discuss anything with me first? Put it away first. When we go to the city as a guest, you can wear whatever you want."

It seems like this, the head of the family is stingy, but he can still make up his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly accumulated wealth for his family without even her knowing.

Li Shi hesitated, "Then I'll put it away first. Can't you wait until Sanya and my uncle go back to hide my things again so that I can't even find them?"

Zhou Zhou tapped his wife in the air with his finger, and laughed dumbly, "Your mother is successful, and she still knows how to ask your father to agree to her in front of you."

"Then agree. My mother has good things and she can't take advantage of outsiders. Dad, will our family not be able to sit down at two tables today?" Zhou Banxia changed the subject.

"We can't sit down. Your uncle has brought the dishes here this morning. I think there will be two more tables. Dad, take a look, we need to put two tables on the kang in the east room and the west room."

"Well, there are a lot of children coming to pay New Year greetings today. This is the first time they come to our house to pay New Year greetings. They need to pack a lot of red envelopes."

"No, dad has already figured it out. Just treat your cousin as your uncle, cousin, and they bring one child from each family." Thursday said, "Two cents per person is not a lot."

"Really two cents?"

"Didn't you charge me a lot of money?" Mrs. Li couldn't bear it anymore and went to her daughter to complain. "Your father had already calculated it. The money you gave to mother, he said he would use it to wrap up red envelopes."
