Because Mr. Hou was seriously ill, the Hou Mansion set up a separate small kitchen near his yard, specially decocting medicine and cooking porridge for him.Right now Nianfu is busy working here, she has already changed out of that beautiful new dress, she is still wearing her old clothes, and she is busy there with her sleeves rolled up high.

But even so, Hou Fangyu felt so beautiful.No other girl could be more energetic and beautiful than his little daughter-in-law.

"Fumei!" After sending the little girl in the kitchen to deliver snacks to the old man, Hou Fangyu happily came in to help, "What do you want me to do? Just tell me. Tell me, I will listen to your command today!"

Hou Fangyu, who went to the kitchen for the first time in his life, also rolled up his sleeves high, with an eager look on his face.

Nianfu was stunned, something flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up with a bigger smile, "Alright then, you can crack eggs for me."

She handed over a large basin, which already contained five egg whites.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it all to me!" Hou Fangyu patted his chest and said proudly, but after a while his hands began to ache.

It is not tiring to beat eggs, but it is very tiring to keep whipping quickly in one direction.Especially for those who are not used to it, it is even more difficult. After a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out from the tip of Hou Fangyu's nose, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

When Nianfu looked over, he smiled at her, making the girl slightly absent-minded.

Does the little daughter-in-law feel sorry for him?Hou Fangyu bit his lip, but still couldn't restrain his desperate grin and had to turn his back.He hid his smile.

But when the girl turned her back, she almost shed tears.

When the two worked together to take out a large cake with a golden color and rich aroma from the pot, Hou Fangyu felt extremely satisfied and happy.

"It's so fragrant! It seems that my strength is not in vain." This is the first time he and his little daughter-in-law have worked together to honor the elders. The commemorative significance alone makes him feel extremely proud.

Nianfu took another bright red jam that was boiled earlier in the morning, "Come on, write a character for longevity. Make it beautiful."

Of course Hou Fangyu would put his heart into writing a big birthday character on the cake with almost all his strength.Hou Fangyu smiled very happily, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have never cooked food. But in the future. As long as you call, I will come to the kitchen to help you!"

Seeing his joyful eyes full of longings for future happiness, Nianfu paused for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but Hou Sangu came to find him in person, "The guests have arrived. Mother told you to go and greet them quickly." !"

Let Hou Fangyu go first and put the cake into the tray.Carefully arranged, Nianfu still changed into the new set of clothes and came out to pay his respects.

"Master Tongzhi is here to send gifts!"

Today is the official day of birthday worship, the Hou family is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and guests gather.However, I heard that Mr. Tongzhi brought a birthday gift from his family, Hou Xianglin and his wife rushed out together, ignoring the room full of guests.Smiling all over the face.It's like adding a layer of light.When the birthday gift came in, some people in the crowd started to laugh secretly.

Thought it was something really good.It turned out to be just a piece of ordinary rice cake with a diameter of about a foot and a big red birthday character written on it. It was not worth much money at all.But Hou Xianglin and his wife treated them like treasures, and ordered someone to put them on a big red plate, and put it on top of all the birthday presents.

Hou Fangyu felt ashamed, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "It's not emerald and silver, why do you bother? What do other guests think?"

Mrs. Hou's eyes widened, and she slapped her son, "Stop talking nonsense! It's a small thing, but it's rare to be decent. How many merchants have birthdays, and officials are willing to give gifts? Besides, this white rice cake looks like silver. , put it on top to attract money.”

Hou Fangyu wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Hou glanced at it and saw Nianfu who was also holding a tray from behind.Zhong laughed again to distract his son's attention, "Sister Mu's son is here too, hurry up and say hello."

Sure enough, he said that Hou Fangyu liked this most, put aside his unhappiness for the time being, and went to greet his sister Nianfu.

According to the rules, the birthday gift for chanting blessings should also be sent to the birthday gift stand for display.It can be seen that what she sent was also a piece of cake. The second aunt of the Hou family felt unhappy first, and said eccentrically, "I thought you could make tofu, Sister Mu, but I didn't expect you to be able to make cakes!"

"Second sister!" Hou Fangyu was annoyed immediately, "What are you talking about? I helped make half of this birthday cake, why? Can't we make a gift for grandpa with our own hands? Isn't it better than clothes, shoes and socks made by someone else?" Seriously?"

Second Aunt Hou blushed and was speechless with anger.After her family became wealthy, she could afford many good things, but her upbringing was still like that of a country girl, with rough hands and feet, and she knew nothing about fine work such as needlework and embroidery, so she often listened to gossip from her husband's family.

Today, the old man celebrated his birthday, Second Aunt Hou brought a few needles and threads according to the rules, but she didn't do any stitches.Seeing her younger brother talking about her sore feet in front of outsiders again, Second Aunt Hou wanted to steal her money, but she didn't dare to offend the most beloved younger brother in the family, so she had to endure it.

Turning his head, Hou Fangyu wanted to put the cake made by Nianfu on the top himself, but Mrs. Hou refused, "How can you put something made by someone else together with the official? It's just a matter of putting it on the bottom."

Hou Fangyu quit, "Didn't you just say that the white one is silver, and the yellow one is gold? Naturally, gold is more valuable than silver. Compared with other people, Fumei is naturally closer to our family. Why can't I let it go?" top?"

Mrs. Hou immediately glared at Nianfu, but she happened to be seen by Mrs. Hou, and smoothed things over, "Since it's all for food, it won't take long, so why not take it and cut it up, and distribute it to the elders at this table. They are old Bigger ones deserve a lottery."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Hou reluctantly took down the piece of rice cake.Soon the kitchen sliced ​​and boiled sugar water for a table for the elders.Hou Fangyu personally asked for a knife for the cake here. According to what Nianfu said, he cut the cake into small pieces and put them on plates.

All of a sudden, after the elders ate the cake, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces, and soon there would be nothing left.

Mrs. Hou, who is the birthday star, of course ate the biggest piece. After eating, he couldn't help nodding, "This is really well done. It's sweet and soft, and it melts in your mouth. It's just right for us old-fashioned guys!"

As soon as he joked, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.Everyone praised the good granddaughter raised by the Shi family, but Father Shi only felt that his face was very bright.

But Mrs. Hou saw that the rice cake was not selling well, so she hurried forward and said, "All uncles and aunts, please try this rice cake, but it was sent by Mr. Tongzhi!"

Seeing everyone laughing, some of them were kind enough to grab a chopstick to express their intentions, but most of them just drank some sugar water.

Mrs. Hou was still waiting to persuade, and a straightforward seventh aunt laughed, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't blame my aunt for not being able to speak. Never mind that this is from Tong Zhi Tie Zhi, isn't it just a piece of rice cake? Look at the taste , it looks like it was made by the old Wang’s on the East Street, the most sticky teeth, but how do we old guys eat? If a tooth sticks down, who will it be?”

The old people laughed because of Taoism, so Mrs. Hou had no choice but to retreat.

Father Shi was the only one on the table smiling, looking the happiest.According to the rules, it is a matter of face and good fortune to eat the food dedicated to the old birthday star.The cake made by his little granddaughter was well received, that is the brilliance of their family.Not to mention anything else, just a word of filial piety, the granddaughter took the headlines.

Mrs. Hou was a little upset, but Hou Xianglin coughed twice and gave her a wink.When Mrs. Hou thought about the next move, she didn't care so much in her heart.The auspicious time has come, and it is time to start celebrating birthdays.

Because Hou's family is not a family of officials and eunuchs, birthday worship did not make a clear distinction between men and women.Still like the countryside, only by seniority.First the sons and daughters-in-law come to worship, then the daughters and sons-in-law, nephews and nephews, and then the grandchildren.After my family has finished praying, the neighbors and friends will follow.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the nephews and nephews in the grandson's generation to worship. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou called her by name and asked her to worship with Hou Fangyu.

You must know that Hou Fangyu's three older sisters are all married, and they can only come out to worship with their husbands and children after their younger brother has finished worshiping, so when Nianfu came out, they were there to worship with Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu thought that this was about to talk about his marriage, his face was already flushed with excitement, and he knelt down early, waiting for the blessing.Someone next to him looked at his face and already guessed some clues. Their eyes darted back and forth on him and Nianfu.

Mr. Hou was pointing at the recitation of blessings, and said cheerfully, "This girl is just like my own granddaughter..."

As soon as the words fell, Nianfu was about to kneel down, when someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Why is it her? That little lady who molested people, caused people to be disabled, and went to court?"

In a word, three key points.

Molested by others, the remaining flowers and willows are ruined; causing people to be disabled, cruel and merciless; going to court, the reputation has been damaged.

The gazes of all the guests fell on the young girl.

In fact, even if no one yelled this voice, everyone would have involuntarily turned their eyes on her, openly or secretly, after all, such a young and beautiful girl is not often seen.Hearing that there are still such scandals now, why doesn't it make people even more curious?

Before Mrs. Hou could step forward to stop her, Hou Fangyu had already stood up from the ground one step at a time, pointing at the stranger angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." The man spread his hands, and he pointed to Nianfu with certainty, "This little lady has filed a lawsuit in Mr. Tang's county government a few days ago, and I saw it with my own eyes. Sue her The person in question is Mr. Hu who runs a pawn shop in Huai'an Town, and he paid for it just because she injured and disabled people."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

If you lose money, is that a conviction?With such a nose and eyes, how can it be made up?

Looking at this beautiful girl again, most people have already condemned her in their hearts.A beauty is a disaster, she is charming and seductive, she is born to attract people like this, how can she not harm others?
