Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 322 Epilogue
The [-]-word finale!
Six years later.

In the Li family's compound, Du Xiaoyu chased Li Jingxiu in front with a broom. The former was furious, while the latter smiled playfully and turned around from time to time to make a funny face to tease his mother.

"Li Jingxiu!" Du Xiaoyu yelled, "Stop for me, and we can discuss it if you stop. If you are caught by me, you will feel better!"

"Liar, my mother said the same thing last time, but she didn't punish me to kneel on the floor, I don't believe it!"

Du Xiaoyu was so angry that his teeth itch, why did he give birth to such a disobedient son? Last time, he gave the hairpin from Bai Nianlian's head to a beggar on the side of the road, and this time he stole her bracelet and gave it to a girl who sings an opera !

It's not that kindness is bad, maybe you can't stop taking other people's things!He obviously has a jade pendant on his waist, and there are many valuable things in the house, but he is never willing to let others touch it. That's good, other people's things are rubbish, but his is treasure. Why don't you teach him a lesson?

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a bracelet." Du Xian came out to protect his grandson, "You feel bad, dad will buy you another pair tomorrow."

Du Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just that Dad spoils him, look at him, he's lawless now!"

Li Jingxiu stuck out his tongue proudly at her.

Du Qingqiu didn't know when he came, so he snatched the dagger hanging from Li Jingxiu's waist, and said with a sneer, "You like to help others, don't you? Don't bully Nianlian, I'm mad at your mother!" In the pool ahead.

She moved so quickly, Li Jingxiu was stunned, and then yelled, "You, you actually threw my dagger?"

"What? Do you know that your heart hurts?" Du Qingqiu's eyes were cold, "Cut, find a way to get it yourself." He turned around and went out.

Li Jingxiu stood there in a daze, almost vomiting blood with anger.

This dagger was a gift from Li Yuanqing. After Li Yuanqing was transferred to Zhengzhou as the magistrate three years ago, he only saw him once a year. He even regarded this dagger as the most important treasure, but Du Qingqiu threw it into the water .

Seeing his pale face, Du Xiaoyu couldn't bear it again, but this kid is unreasonable, so he should have a taste of it.

"You guys, get me the dagger quickly!" Li Jingxiu yelled at the servants next to him.

But Du Xiaoyu said, "Don't go, without my order, none of you are allowed to fish for him."

"Mom!" Li Jingxiu was about to cry, "That was given to me by my father!"

Du Xiaoyu snorted and ignored him.

Du Xian pleaded, "Xiaoyu, this, this..." After seeing Du Xiaoyu's gaze, he immediately stopped talking, knowing what would happen if he completely angered his daughter, he hurriedly said to Li Jing, "Quickly give it to me!" Your mother apologizes, you child, your mother has said it several times, why didn't you listen?"

Li Jingxiu bit his lips, her mother was the oldest in the family, and her grandfather and grandmother couldn't say anything, so she said vaguely, "Mother, I was wrong, and I won't dare in the future."

Seeing that it was insincere, Du Xiaoyu said cruelly, "You guys pick up the dagger and send it to the Hanako outside later, any Hanako will do."

"What? Mom, are you going to give me something that Dad gave me?" Li Jingxiu couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Du Xiaoyu turned around and went back to the room.

Those servants immediately went to look for the dagger in the pool, and when they found it, they didn't listen to Li Jingxiu at all, and went outside to look for Hanako.

Li Jingxiu was sweating profusely in anxiety, seeing that the dagger was really going to be acquired by Hanako, he didn't care about anything, snatched the dagger and ran away, but was caught by his servants again, snatched the dagger back, and wanted to give it to Hanako again.

Li Jingxiu finally cried, and pulled the servant with the dagger and said that he was going to find Du Xiaoyu.

When Du Xiaoyu saw Li Jingxiu again, the child was already crying badly.

"You know it hurts?"

Li Jingxiu nodded quickly.

"Then do you still take other people's things?" Du Xiaoyu taught, "Your sister Nianlian's pearl hairpin was given by me, and it is also a very important treasure in her eyes. Now you know that the treasure was snatched away by others." Does it feel good? You think those people are pitiful, they can use their own things to do good things, other people, even if the money in other people's hands is robbed, they will definitely not allow you to decide those things!"

Li Jingxiu really felt distressed, and cried, "Mom, I understand, give me back the dagger quickly! I won't dare to give away other people's things in the future!"

Only then did Du Xiaoyu ask his servant to hand him the dagger.

Li Jingxiu took it over and carefully wiped the sleeve clean, cherishing it very much.

Du Xiaoyu saw it, his heart softened, and he knelt down and hugged him in his arms, "Miss your father again?" It has been a year since we met last time, and he said that he misses, maybe the feeling of missing him has already disappeared. Numb, but the reality is that people need to make constant compromises, and the only expectation is that sentence, separation is for the final reunion.

Li Jingxiu raised his face and said softly, "Mother, when will Dad come back?"

"It's coming soon." She rubbed his hair, looking at this face that was seven points like Li Yuanqing's, her heart was sour and sweet, and she said softly, "It will be soon."

Mrs. Zhao was standing at the door. She heard what Du Xian said just now, so she came to take a look. Seeing that the mother and son were well again, she immediately smiled.

"Mother." Du Xiaoyu saw her, stood up, and said to Li Jingxiu, "Go and play by yourself."

Naturally, Li Jingxiu wanted to study in a private school. He only had a holiday today, so he was making a fuss at home. Hearing this, he ran out, saying, "I'm going to play with my cousin."

The cousin is naturally the son of Du Huang Huasheng. She got her wish, and the second child was indeed a son, and she was named Bai Jinghong.

The two cousins ​​are more than two years apart, but Bai Jinghong has a calm temper. He is only five years old, and he speaks similarly to Li Jingxiu. He also entered a private school this year.

The two attendants immediately followed Li Jingxiu.

Mrs. Zhao sighed and sat down.

Seeing her frowning, Du Xiaoyu knew that it was because of Du Qingqiu's affairs. This girl was very naughty when she was young, but she was abnormally cold when she grew up. She seemed to be a different person, but one thing remained the same, her stubborn very.

She is 15 years old this year, and she is the age to discuss marriage, but she doesn't like anyone, that's why Mrs. Zhao has a headache.

"Then what's wrong with Mr. Zhou's family? He was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 17 and entered the Imperial Academy. I don't know how many people want to get married, but she still can't see it, and she doesn't know what she is thinking." Zhao complained Said, "Our family is also because of the relationship with the Marquis of Wen'an. The Zhou family is willing to accept Mrs. Hou's friendship with you."

The old Marquis passed away due to illness three years ago, and the title was passed on to the young Marquis, and the Tong family is now the wife of the Marquis.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyu felt sorry for Tong. They were all good-looking, the second son of the Zhou family. Not only were they handsome and romantic, they were talented and educated, and their family background was also good. It was enough for her sister with a weird temper That's right, it turned out that Du Qingqiu didn't like it. Once the second son of the Zhou family came to visit, she directly poured tea all over him.

Later, the two became enemies, and the second son of the Zhou family knew that Du Qingqiu liked to go to Liuxiang Pavilion to watch fish, so he got all of her water that time.

Du Xiaoyu laughed again after thinking about it, "I don't know if they will become friends of Huanxi?"

"Isn't that noisy all day long?"

"That's the fun!"

Mrs. Zhao kept shaking her head, "You, you always say strange things, now I don't think you can get along with the Zhou family, hey, if such a good thing was spoiled by this child, then Mr. Zhou must be very angry , being splashed with hot water, who wouldn't be angry?"

"Maybe we are too anxious. In fact, Qingqiu is not too old. Why don't we delay for two years?" Du Xiaoyu guessed that Du Qingqiu was unwilling to marry so early, so it was too cruel to splash water on others. Point, just throwing Li Jingxiu's dagger is the same, and he will definitely be a difficult master in the future.

But that's good, at least she won't be bullied when she marries into her in-law's family.

While the two were talking, they saw Sima Jing coming with her three-year-old Rui'er in her arms. Last year, she joined hands with someone to build a mountain outside the city and planted various fruit trees.Huang Lishu was in charge of the shop in the city, and she was busy with the affairs of the hills by herself. Du Xiaoyu never knew that Sima Jing, who was born in rich clothes and well-fed, could have such perseverance and courage.

Nowadays, she is tanned and thin, but her eyes are bright and dazzling. Although it is hard and tiring, she likes this kind of life very much.

"I brought some fruits for you and put them outside." She said with a smile, "I just picked them, they are very fresh."

"I knew we wouldn't have bought it at the market just now." Du Xiaoyu grinned, and looked at her with concern, "Seeing that you've lost weight again, my cousin will feel sorry for you."

Sima Jing said, "He knew he felt sorry for his son, saying that he hadn't seen me for a long time, and told me that this time I have to wait until next year before going to the mountains."

"Yo, my cousin will make excuses too." Du Xiaoyu laughed.

Sima Jing also smiled, looking at Rui'er in her arms, "It's been so long, why don't you call me cousin? Grandma?"

That Rui'er was an introvert, she cried out childishly when she heard her mother's voice, and retracted into her mother's arms again.

"This kid's temper looks like his third uncle. Sometimes he doesn't say a word for a day." Sima Jing sighed, "It's better to share Jing Xiu's liveliness."

Ruier's third uncle is of course Huang Lirong. He is 17 years old this year. He was admitted to Jinshi together with Du Wentao last year. Assigned to the Ministry of Punishment to observe politics, it will be officially settled after studying government affairs.

Speaking of Huang Lirong, we have to mention his lifelong events.

The Huang family moved here when Huang Lirong came to Beijing for the exam. They opened a restaurant in Feixian County for seven or eight years and made enough money. It was Huang Ligen, who had been a teacher for a long time.

Huang Ligen's children are both two years old, and now Zhao Dongzhi's attention is naturally focused on his youngest son, Huang Lirong.

"The second young lady of the Chen family I talked about last time, my mother went to see it, and she was not satisfied." Sima Jing sighed, "Actually, the second young lady Chen is a nice person, but my mother said that she is not in good shape, and she looks like she won't have a son. of."

There are all kinds of crooked reasons. Du Xiaoyu and Zhao Shi took a look. They had long been numb to Zhao Dongzhi's finding a daughter-in-law.In the future, there will always be someone who will meet Zhao Dongzhi's wishes, just like Sima Jing, as for when it will appear, no one knows.

They can't be bothered, anyway, Huang Lirong is not too old, so just look for it slowly.

Several people chatted for a while, and a young boy came over with a list, saying that it was delivered by Ke Yunlai. Du Xiaoyu opened it and saw that it was the menu written by Huang Ligen.

It will be Zhao's fiftieth birthday in two days, so I plan to put it there.

"Li Gen is really careful, he sent it specially for us to have a look." Du Xiaoyu handed the menu to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, are you satisfied with it?"

"His own restaurant knows best, so we have nothing to worry about." But Mrs. Zhao glanced at it after taking it over, "Oh, it's so good!"

"Isn't it different from Dad? My sister and I don't favor each other. You can cook whatever Dad cooks." Du Xiaoyu ordered the menu with a smile, "These are Li Gen's specialty dishes, and many people eat them Well, it’s better than those made by people in big restaurants.”

"Ligen is promising." Zhao sighed. The three brothers in the past were worrisome, but now they are all fine. Huang Lishu is a successful businessman who loves his wife and respects his parents. Huang Ligen is a craftsman. A good chef, Huang Lirong is the most surprising, and he can still be admitted to Jinshi.She said with emotion, "Your aunt, you are really blessed."

Sima Jing laughed and said, "Aren't you blessed, Aunt? Look at your two daughters, not to mention your son." Du Wentao entered the Imperial Academy at a young age, and was already well-known in the capital. He looks talented, calm and steady in his work, and many parents have already regarded him as the best son-in-law candidate in their minds.

Last time, Mrs. Tong told Du Xiaoyu that there was a suitable young lady in the Sun family, but Du Wentao was only 15 years old, so she was not in a hurry to make a decision.

Mrs. Zhao smiled happily, and patted Sima Jing's hand, "All are blessed, all are blessed, and your parents are equally blessed!"

Du Xiaoyu snorted, "We're even boasting to each other." She returned to her eyes and said, "Cousin, last time you explained the matter of preventing insects in spring next year, I thought of one, and I don't know if it will be useful."

Sima Jing and the others were also trying to figure out how to plant fruit trees by themselves. In the early spring of last year, they encountered a pest infestation. Later, they hired temporary workers and worked for several days and nights to clean it up, but they also lost a lot.So this year, we must take precautions. They only knew that pruning branches was useful, so they mentioned it to Du Xiaoyu once, but they didn't expect her to really think about it.

Sima Jing hurriedly asked what was the solution.

"It's just peeling off the bark." Du Xiaoyu explained, "I read that a lot of bugs are lurking in the bark below, and before the buds start to grow in spring, pull out the bark at the bottom and the bark at the fork. , and then apply a layer of insect repellent." This is actually something she has seen in later generations, and she thought about it, "Lime and sulfur are both insect repellent, you can try to mix them together and apply them, I think it should work."

Hearing what she said was logical, Sima Jing nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll discuss it with someone right now." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Looks like you, has a baby, and is still busy with this and that all day." Zhao shook her head and said, "Fortunately, Rui'er is not clingy, and your aunt can help."

"I have a lot more time now." Du Xiaoyu stretched her waist, "I'm getting old, I have to start enjoying myself." In recent years, she has promoted several capable managers, and it is true that she is not very good at it. Never mind, there is a color screen anyway, she only needs to look at the ledger at the end of the month, and hardly ever go out while waiting to count the money.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and poked her on the head, "You are still old, so your mother will be an old birthday star!"

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Mrs. Zhao went out, and she sat in front of the desk and read a book.

In the afternoon, there was a noise outside, and when I ran out to see, there were two maids helping Du Qingqiu, who was covered in water, to go to the bedroom on the west side.

She hurriedly shouted, "What's going on?"

A maid was taken aback and replied, "Miss fell into the water."

"What?" Du Xiaoyu hurried over, seeing that Du Qingqiu's face was not good-looking, he couldn't bear to ask in a hurry at this moment, so he asked the maid to help him in, "Go and ask the doctor to take a look."

"The old lady has asked someone to invite her."

Mrs. Zhao hurried in at this moment, saw Du Xiaoyu standing in the middle of the road, and asked, "Why, did you send it in?"

Du Xiaoyu nodded, "How could a good person fall into the water? Does mother know?"

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, a little annoyed, "This damn girl went to seek bad luck from Mr. Zhou again, but she fell into the river, and Mr. Zhou rescued her! Look, it's really embarrassing for our family. Yes! Your father is entertaining Mr. Tuesday outside now! What a polite young man, he was completely soaked and sent her back himself."

Du Xiaoyu's heart moved when he heard this, logically speaking, the son should be very angry on Tuesday and was scalded with water, that's why Du Qingqiu was splashed all over at Liuxiang Pavilion, this time Du Qingqiu went to take revenge again, he should save people, But would it be too polite to send it back in person?Is it to see Du Qingqiu's joke or is there another reason?
"I'll go out and have a look." She lifted the hem of her skirt and ran out.

Zhou Jiayu was about to leave, but was stopped by Du Xiaoyu.

"My sister was rescued by Mr. Zhou, I am very grateful." She saluted.

Zhou Jiayu hurriedly returned the gift, "It's a little effort, Mrs. Li doesn't need to be too polite."

Du Xiaoyu raised her head and said, "I don't know what happened, but my sister doesn't look well, maybe there's water in her lungs, did Mr. Zhou see her choking on water when he rescued her?"

Hearing that Du Qingqiu had water in his lungs, Zhou Jiayu was taken aback, his face couldn't hide his concern, "How could this happen? I have rescued it in time..."

Du Xiaoyu saw his expression in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart, and smiled, "Since the rescue was timely, then maybe I made a mistake. After the doctor sees it, I will naturally know if it's all right or not."

Only then did Zhou Jiayu feel relieved.

The two did not know each other, because he had heard that she had a weird temper, and when he saw her in the yard that time, she was as tall and graceful as a lotus in a pool, so he couldn't think of the word weird at that time, and it turned out that The ghost came up to talk to him, and she might have regarded him as a lustful hungry ghost, and she poured the scalding water on him later.

But he was not such a person, so in Liuxiangting, he was angry with her for being too arbitrary last time, and it was difficult to calm down the anger in his heart, so he planned revenge.

Unexpectedly, she was such a difficult master. It was already a matter of cleansing, but she couldn't bear to be fooled, and came to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, and ended up getting herself into the river.

When he rescued her in the water, she would rather die than him to rescue her. The two of them struggled in the water, and he almost couldn't float up.

Later he asked, do you want me to die with you?

At that time Du Qingqiu's eyes were wide open, like a frightened deer, she finally gave in and let him carry her to the shore.

The skin of the two was touching, and a strange feeling rushed to the whole body like an electric shock. Zhou Jiayu only felt that his heart had been beating wildly until now.

Du Xiaoyu watched his back gradually walk away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hearing that Du Qingqiu fell into the water, Du Huanghua also rushed over. Three years ago, Bai Yushi was transferred back to the capital. The couple returned with their three-year-old son, and the family was finally reunited.

"What did the doctor say?" She said from the bottom of her heart, "I was really shocked and fell into the water." She glanced into the room and said softly, "There is already a lot of talk outside. , I heard that she was rescued by the second son of the Zhou family? The two of them were drenched in the street, and the son was still hugging her on Tuesday... It's just such a rumor, what about Qingqiu's reputation!"

Mrs. Zhao also had a headache when she heard this, and secretly scolded Du Qingqiu for being ignorant, this capital cares most about the reputation of a lady, now that she has been hugged like this, can she still marry into someone else's family?
Du Xiaoyu's expression was relaxed, "That's even better, just marry Mr. Tuesday."

The two of them were taken aback, and Du Huanghua said, "But Qingqiu is not happy, otherwise this would have been done long ago! Now that they want to get married, the Zhou family may not be willing."

"I think Mr. Tuesday is willing."

Hearing what she said, both of them showed surprised expressions. Du Huanghua said, "What do you say? Since Mr. Zhou was splashed with water by her last time, there has been no movement at the Zhou family. Although Mr. Zhou rescued him this time, Qingqiu, but she is doing good deeds by saving lives, so we can't take this as a threat."

Du Xiaoyu told about her probing, and both of them laughed.

"If this is the case, it will be easy to handle. Right now, we only need to ask Qingqiu what he means."

Du Xiaoyu said, "I'll ask." After saying that, he went into the room.

Du Qingqiu had already calmed down, and was leaning against the bedside to read a book. When Du Xiaoyu came in, his face was tense, as if he didn't want to talk to her.

"You have the ability to fall into the water in public."

Du Qingqiu didn't speak, but flipped through the book in his hand.

"We discussed it with my mother. If the Zhou family comes to propose marriage, whether you like it or not, we will agree."

"What?" Du Qingqiu was furious, "Why can't I make the decision?"

"You have the face to be the master? His son fell ill after returning on Tuesday. The doctor said that he choked on water in his lungs, and he didn't know if he could be cured. You hurt him, and you have the face to refuse?"

Du Qingqiu's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Is he sick?"

Thinking of all the tossing in the water, Zhou Jiayu could have rescued her quickly, but he didn't want to, and made him sink twice. Could it be that he choked on the water because of this?
"Do you want me to accompany you to die?" His thick voice seemed to ring in his ears again.

At that moment, her heart seemed to stop, and she let him hug her up.

He was obviously someone he hated, but that disgusting feeling disappeared all of a sudden, he gave up his life to save her, how could he be a hungry ghost in such a way?

She took a breath and said, "You all want to marry me off. You may not know what the second young master of the Zhou family is like this time!"

"Why don't you know? Do you think we will harm you?" Du Xiaoyu lowered his face, "What do you think we are? You were raised for nothing, right?"

Du Qingqiu also realized that he had gone too far, and his voice weakened, "That's not what I meant."

Du Xiaoyu snorted. Having been with this sister for more than ten years, she knew that she was always inconsistent. It seemed that this was the part of her dissatisfaction when she suddenly said something about Mr. Zhou's behavior.Her tone became serious, "Our family is neither short of money, nor short of power. The first thing to choose a husband for you is character. How can we not find out if Mr. Zhou has a good reputation? Naturally, we want to see it when we think it is appropriate. Look, the one who invited him to be a guest turned out to be reckless? I don’t like you telling us yourself, can you still force you to marry?”

Du Qingqiu moved the corner of his mouth, "I also have a reason..."

"Oh?"

"That day he took the initiative to talk to me, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a prodigal son."

Du Xiaoyu was surprised, she didn't know this happened, she frowned and said, "This is a bit strange... So, you think he has a bad character, so you don't want to marry him?"

Du Qingqiu nodded.

"Well, since that's the case, this time even if the Zhou family says we are unkind and ungrateful, even if Mr. Zhou really hurt his lungs trying to save you, we will never agree to this marriage!" She said and was about to go out. .

Du Qingqiu blurted out, "Second Sister... Is he, is he really sick?"

"A person with such a low character, you still care what he does!"

"It's not..." Du Qingqiu hurriedly said, his face flushed slightly, "Maybe I misunderstood, he, if he was really that kind of person, he wouldn't try his best to save me."

Seeing her shyness, Du Xiaoyu burst out laughing, "Then you mean, you think he's actually pretty good?"

Du Qingqiu turned his head away and did not speak.

This younger sister is really an awkward master. Du Xiaoyu stopped wasting time with her, and said directly, "I'll take it as your agreement, and go tell mother."

With a flick of the bead chain, she had already left the room.

Only then did Du Qingqiu turn his head back, his heart skipped a beat, but he suddenly felt a very solid feeling.

Hearing what Du Xiaoyu said about Du Qingqiu, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Du Huanghua clapped their hands, and Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Oh, that's all right, as you said, these two are Huanxi friends, whatever , today Mr. Zhou saved our Qingqiu, tomorrow I will go to Zhou's house with your father to thank you personally with a gift."

"Someone finally wants this little pepper." Du Huanghua covered her mouth and smiled.

I just don't know what will happen after marriage, don't they really be happy enemies, one is better than the other, isn't it awkward?Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Hey, don't worry about the future, everyone has their own destiny, I think they are a good match, mother and father go this time, I'm afraid things will be settled. After all, Qingqiu will be hugged by him After that, the Zhou family will definitely not shirk, besides, they also intended to get married."

Zhao Shi said, "Yeah, I'm going to prepare presents right now. I'll go with your father tomorrow, and I won't be free the day after tomorrow."

Du Xiaoyu asked Du Huanghua, "Is Jing Xiu still at your house?"

"Yeah, playing marbles with Jing Hong, the two of them lay down on the ground and became mud monkeys." Du Huanghua smiled, "Jing Hong is only willing to play when Jing Xiu comes, otherwise he knows how to read and play with him." Dad learned it."

"Reading is not good, is it? Look at Jing Xiupi like a monkey. I think it will be difficult for him to be a scholar in the future." Du Xiaoyu sighed, "But that's all, our family has two more Jinshi, so we should be content I don't bother Jingxiu to do business in the future, or plant fruit trees with his cousin, as long as he is sensible."

"Isn't it, as long as they are happy."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, dragged their hands and went to the White Mansion. Du Xiaoyu happened to call Li Jingxiu back.

On the second day, Du Xian and his wife went to Zhou's house with gifts.

Zhou Jiayu rescued Du Qingqiu from the river, and the two elders of the Zhou family naturally knew about it, so they called him over to inquire about it that day. At that time, their family was quite displeased with the matter of Du Qingqiu pouring tea, but the Li family committee is really a It was a good choice for in-laws, and he was not willing to give up, so he called Zhou Jiayu over to ask about the situation.

It was only later that Du Qingqiu misunderstood Zhou Jiayu to pour tea for the prodigal son, so he felt relieved.

Seeing that his son wanted to marry her, and seeing that Du Xian and his wife came to the door in person, they were also happy to welcome her. The two families expressed their mutual intentions in a friendly manner.

"According to the Zhou family's opinion, the matchmaker must be called soon." Du Xian said happily, "Our son-in-law is no worse than Yuan Qing, look at his appearance, this talent, Qingqiu has found a treasure."

"Father has self-knowledge." Du Xiaoyu laughed, knowing that Du Qingqiu is a difficult master.

Du Qingqiu's face turned cold when he heard it from the side, "Second sister, why are you happy, dad is saying that second brother-in-law is also excellent, and second sister has also found a treasure!"

Now it was Du Huanghua's turn to burst out laughing.

Du Xiaoyu stared at Du Xian, "Father, do you mean that?"

"Father, don't you mean that?" Du Qingqiu stared at Du Xian not to be outdone.

Under the attack of Lian's two daughters, Du Xian was immediately defeated, "No, no, dad is talking about those two sons-in-law..." He glanced at Du Huanghua as he spoke, "Three sons-in-law, three sons-in-law, Marrying our daughter is definitely a treasure!"

Those two gave up.

Mrs. Zhao frowned beside her. Du Xian spoiled his three daughters so much that he didn't look like a father at all.

"Fortunately, we acted quickly, because I ordered a dowry there. When we choose a date, we will choose September. It's best not to be hot or cold." They were discussing the date again.

Du Qingqiu was embarrassed to listen any more, and came out blushing.

Du Xiaoyu discussed with Du Huanghua about celebrating Zhao's birthday tomorrow. Although the banquet was held at the restaurant owned by Huang Ligen, the two sisters still had to deal with other trivial matters, such as how to receive guests tomorrow, When is the lion dance, how to deal with birthday gifts, and expenses, etc.

Just as he was talking, Du Wentao came in and said with a smile, "Is there anything I can do for you tomorrow?"

Du Xiaoyu likes this younger brother very much, and smiled when he saw him coming, "Yes, take Jingxiu, Jinghong, Nianlian, Ruier..." He said a lot of names, ranging from seven or eight years old to as young as Two or three years old, both are Du Wentao's nephews and nieces.

Like Du Qingqiu, he has been a senior at a young age.

Du Wentao raised his eyebrows, "Is that all?"

"That's all? It's good if you can take it well."

Du Huanghua pulled Du Xiaoyu and smiled, "He has no experience in raising children, so stop teasing Wen Tao."

"Second sister doesn't tease me every day, and she feels that something is missing." Du Wentao has long been used to it. He took off his robe and sat down, took the list in front of him, "I'm good at math, shall I help you settle the score?" The abacus on the table was crackling, like a gentleman in a cashier.

"Look, if you don't study, you can still be a shopkeeper." Du Xiaoyu joked again.

"Being the shopkeeper is also good, so that the second sister will have time."

Suddenly Du Wentao said such words, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but startled.

"If I had grown up three years ago, the second sister would have gone to Zhengzhou with her brother-in-law." His voice was sad. Back then, the second brother-in-law was going to be the prefect of Zhengzhou, but the second sister couldn't leave her family behind. How can they be separated for three years when they are so tired?

Du Xiaoyu had a sore nose, and said angrily, "What did you say? I am greedy for money, and I am reluctant to close the shop. What does it have to do with you?"

Du Wentao turned his head to look at her, and smiled slightly, "In the future, when I marry a wife, she must be able to do business, and be greedy for money like the second sister."

"You kid..." Du Xiaoyu couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"I'll probably use this much tomorrow." Du Wentao pushed the abacus over.

The three of them met and calculated small things.

On the second day, Mrs. Zhao was wearing a bright red jacket with cloud shoulders and sleeves with a pattern of blessings and longevity, and a camel-colored satin skirt with twigs and dark flowers, which were all embroidered by Du Huanghua stitch by stitch.

Mrs. Zhao was extremely uncomfortable, touching it from time to time, "It's good-looking, but I'm wearing it..."

"Mother's clothes are very suitable, don't pull them around." Du Xiaoyu held her hand, and inserted a golden crested hairpin on her head.

Mrs. Zhao is very frugal, and would never wear such expensive clothes on weekdays. It is only their [-]th birthday, so no matter what, they have to make their mother look good. The sisters have indeed invested a lot of money in their outfits.

"Sister dressed like this, I think it's better than..." Zhao Dongzhi said in a low voice, "It's not much worse than the empresses in the palace."

Zhao was taken aback, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What is my sister afraid of? Just an example." Zhao Dongzhi touched the dress enviously, "Tsk tsk, look at how filial your two good daughters are. If I can wear this at the age of 50, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

"The three Lishu brothers from your family can't compare. Don't worry, they must be dressed better than me." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "It's getting late, don't tell the guests to wait, let's go to the restaurant now."

Du Qingqiu suddenly came over at this time, secretly pulled Du Huanghua and whispered a few words in her ear, the latter looked surprised and glanced at Du Xiaoyu.

"Really?" she asked.

"How can I lie about this? Besides, I can't make it up!" Du Qingqiu was annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way." Du Huanghua said, "You go with mother first." He said and blinked, "The second son of the Zhou family is here today, do you know?"

Du Qingqiu blushed suddenly, but said in his mouth, "What do I want to know? Whether he comes or not is none of my business!"

"What a duplicity girl!" Du Huanghua muttered, turning her head to think for a while, seeing that Du Xiaoyu was about to go out with Mrs. Zhao, she rushed up to hold her back, "Xiaoyu, wait a minute."

"what's up?"

"I have something in your room, take it to me quickly." Du Huanghua said anxiously, "I have a stomachache right now."

"What is it? Tell me clearly."

"The bracelet was given by your brother-in-law. It's rare for me to wear it. I can't throw it away. It was for Rui'er to play with, but I forgot." Restaurant, I will go by myself in a while."

"Do you want it? Do you want to see a doctor?" Du Xiaoyu hurriedly asked as if she was not feeling well.

"It's okay, you go quickly." Du Huanghua ran away as if fleeing.

Has Rui'er been here today?When did Du Huanghua take him to her bedroom?After thinking about it, Du Xiaoyu didn't seem to have this impression, but Du Huanghua would never want to lie to her.

She went into the room, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any bracelets. When she was about to come out, she saw a person standing at the door.

The tall figure blocked the sunlight, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while, just like the first day he came back from the capital, she was blocked by him on the way.

Feeling as if time had stopped, Du Xiaoyu raised his head, his heart beating so hard that his chest ached.

The two stared at each other, neither of them took a step forward.

Gradually she saw his face clearly.

He has lost weight, but he is still so handsome that people can't take his eyes off. The years seem to go very slowly in front of him, and it only adds maturity and experience to him, making him more perfect.

She saw a handful of bright red roses in his hand again.

The two of them had shared a lot of dreams and whispered a lot, but she no longer remembered that she had said such a wish in front of Li Yuanqing.

The beloved man is holding flowers, this is the scene she really liked when she was young, however, she doesn't care about these now.

But the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Li Yuanqing walked over slowly and embraced her in his arms.

"You asked the eldest sister to trick me here just to see me cry?" She sniffled, "You scoundrel, what kind of surprise are you playing, just come back when you come back, what flowers do you send?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Last time I came back, you thought I wasn't interesting enough, and this time you thought I was playing surprises? You are such a difficult woman!"

"You despise me now?"

"Don't dare for my husband." Li Yuanqing wiped her tears, "I thought you would at least..." Du Xiaoyu blocked his lips before he finished speaking.

The two hugged each other, as if they wanted to embed each other into their own bodies.

Rose petals fell and scattered all over the ground.

"It's not too bad." Satisfied, Li Yuanqing brushed her hair together, found another rose flower that had not deformed and inserted it into her bun, looked at it with a smile, and praised, "Peach blossoms complement each other's faces."

She shook her head and said, "I don't want to say 'the human face is gone'."

Li Yuanqing spread his hands, "Then what should I do if I want to be transferred to another county in the future?"

"I don't care, I won't be greedy for money anymore, once the shop is closed, Jing Xiu and I will go wherever you go!" She hugged his arm like a fool.

He laughed so hard, "Okay, okay, our family will never be separated again!" After saying that, he held Du Xiaoyu's hand, "Go, go celebrate your mother-in-law's birthday!"

The two held hands, laughed and walked forward.
